Jennifer Hawkins, as originally destined for Lucire
For whatever reason, we have photographs on file here at Lucire that do not get published. Such as this 2006 pic of Miss Universe 2004 (and Miss Australia 2004) Jennifer Hawkins, which we could have run in our ‘Scene’ section if it were not for some questionable staffers a year ago. And since Laural Barrett, […]
Lucire does a special Zinio edition
To complement the next printed Lucire, there will be a special edition in Zinio, which I am quite excited about. As many of you know, you can purchase and download a digital replica of the print edition of Lucire via Zinio. Instead of the 164 pp. edition that we print, the Zinio edition of issue 24—which is […]
Amber Peebles, Amanda Tomasoa on the Lucire brand

Get Frank launches—with a little help from Lucire
Rich and Mitch at Get Frank have launched their site (which is featured in the next print Lucire). And with a little help from yours truly, now doubling as the motoring writer there. Sure, the first piece is a re-run from Lucire (we’ve agreed to license content to Get Frank) but, as far as I […]
For years, I resisted doing a blog on Lucire. Let’s say I wasn’t a convert. In the 1990s, online publishing was largely an educated person’s game.
