How to Start an Online Magazine with Rachel Phipps

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Books,Fashion,Interviews | Thursday, 06 May 2010
Pink Rock Candy, Magazine: How To Start And Run Your Own Online Magazine or Publication, Rachel Phipps I first encountered Rachel Phipps almost a year ago. She was a very professional young woman who emailed me about being featured in her magazine Lipstick Royalty. I, of course, agreed, and since, have continuously been impressed by her endeavors including a very funny video she created about the great weight debate. Her latest venture is an e-book, Magazine: How To Start And Run Your Own Online Magazine or Publication, which gives helpful, simple, and understandable advice about starting your own online magazine.

From tips on how to score and interview to lists of the best online magazine websites and so much more, this quick read is not only helpful to those looking to digitally publish a mag, but also to anyone writing online— that means you my lovely bloggers!

At $7.50, Magazine isn’t going to break the bank, but it might help you make a little, and at the very least continue on the road to journalistic success.

Before you all run off to grab Magazine: How To Start And Run Your Own Online Magazine or Publication, check out my quick interview with Rachel.

Interview with Rob Diament from Temposhark

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Entertainment,Interviews,Music | Wednesday, 27 February 2008

Pink Rock Candy, pinkrockcandy.net, Rob Diament, Temposhark

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Rob Diament from Temposhark, an awesome band I wrote about a few weeks ago. Being my first actual interview, I think ever, I was obviously really nervous, but Rob was totally sweet, charming, and let’s face it, he knows his shit. We chatted not only about Temposhark’s upcoming album The Invisible Line, but about the internet’s effect on music, music’s effect on fashion (and vice versa), and— well, you’ll have to read the interview to find out what else, but I promise it’s worth it!

Chelsea Rae: Let’s start with the basics. Why did you and Luke [Busby] decide to start Temposhark?
Rob Diament: I had already started making music on my on, and I was writing songs with a producer called Youth (Martin Glover from Killing Joy), in London. I started out writing on the piano when I was about 13, and then I met him when I was 18 or 19. He took me under his wing and kind of taught me how to work in the studio.

At the same time I was hanging out a lot in Brighton with Luke. I used to go to school with him, but we didn’t really know each other very well in school. I went to a party in Brighton, and really got on well with him. I loved the music he’d been making, so we— actually it was my idea, I kind of forced him into it— I brought him a song and said, “look, would you produce it?” and he tried to produce it, but it didn’t really work out. Then, we just tried to write a song over one of his tracks.

It was a really creative time…Luke lived with Tasha from Bat for Lashes, which is a cool band that is coming up right now, and they were all creating and writing songs and some of them were fashion designers and some of them were performance artists. They did a lot of live shows with visuals, and would spend weeks making these films. Then, you’d go to the gig, and you couldn’t even see the screens because it was so badly set up. But, we had a lot of fun! We even put on a musical, not like a musical in the sense of it being a musical, but it was kind of a joke. It was kind of tongue and cheek, mocking every body. So, yeah, that’s how it started…
