“FLAWLESS BEAUTIES” 2010/2011 FEATURES WOMEN OF ALL RACES, 3-D GLASSES INCLUDED
CALENDAR PACKAGED WITH HIP HOP WEEKLY’S 1st ANNUAL “SWIMSUIT & SUMMER STYLE ISSUE” FEATURING COVER GIRLS AMBER ROSE & TAHIRY
Los Angeles-Hip Hop Weekly is proud to announce the first ever Flawless Beauties 3-D swimsuit calendar set for release July 20, 2010, and dated August 2010 through July of 2011. The calendar features 12 of the most beautiful and exotic ladies from every ethnicity drawn from every corner of the world dressed in custom made bikinis and bathing suits by FB Legacy. The package comes with a custom pair of 3-D glasses which enhance the experience of the calendar. The calendar’s stunning cover girl is Cuban-Lebanese model, Sagia Castaneda. The calendar is paired with Hip Hop Weekly’s 1st Annual Swimsuit & Summer Style Issue, which features two separate covers, one with hip hop star Kanye West’s former love interest Amber Rose and a second one with popular video model Tahiry. The Tahiry cover features Hip Hop Weekly’s signature “peek-a-boo” cover, allowing the reader to open a door attached to the front cover of the magazine. Shot by Sito Barreo for Benhur Photography and Eduardo Valdes for OTB Photography against the shimmering skies and white sand beaches of America’s playground, Miami Beach, Hip Hop Weekly’s calendar and special magazine edition showcase the most sexy, luscious ladies who have generated record clicks on the internet, and are so exquisite that top artists like Drake, John Legend, Flo-Rida, and T.I. have sought them out to appear in their videos.
“After three and a half years of building a successful brand we are proud to branch out and present a calendar that showcases some of the most beautiful women in the world,” stated Hip Hop Weekly’s Chief Brand Officer Ray “Benzino” Scott and Publisher David Mays. “We’re excited about this groundbreaking publishing package, and that we are able to bringing our readers innovative content and cutting-edge technology in the form of the first ever 3-D swimsuit calendar, and the branded ‘peek-a-boo’ magazine cover. Moving forward, we will continue to bring our audience the best there is to offer in every area of entertainment.”
The Flawless Beauties calendar was produced in conjunction with American sportswear brand FB Legacy (fblegacy.com), which will launch in Fall 2010. It was also sponsored by Sobieski Vodka (truthinvodka.com), one of the world’s best selling and fastest growing vodka brands.

Hip Hop Weekly is the first hip hop oriented magazine to feature weekly breaking news and views about entertainment, TV, music, fashion and sports to consumers aged 15 to 44. Launched in 2007 by David Mays and Raymond “Benzino” Scott, who pioneered the concept of the hip hop magazine by founding The Source in Mays’ Harvard dorm room in 1988, Hip Hop Weekly is now the #1 selling hip hop title on newsstands, outselling The Source, Vibe and former industry leader XXL. Hip Hop Weekly has a broad appeal, as its audience’s interest is not limited to hip hop music and arts – they want to see celebrities from Beyonce and Jay-Z to Jennifer Hudson or Jamie Foxx on the covers of their entertainment magazine. The magazine’s unique celebrity weekly format and fast speed-to-market are modeled after the magazine industry’s most lucrative category of magazines known as “celebrity weeklies” (magazines like People and US Weekly.) As such, Hip Hop Weekly has experienced 20% sales growth from 2008 to 2009, a rare fete in the print magazine sector. It is also among the Top 10 selling titles at 7-11 stores, while Walmart has moved Hip Hop Weekly up to checkout displays at selected locations, opening up expanded growth potential nationwide. In addition to priority newsstand placement, Hip Hop Weekly has attracted bluechip corporate brand advertisers including Procter & Gamble (Tag, Gillette, Cover Girl), Coca Cola, Ford, Pepsi, Burger King, Colgate, Sean John clothing, Estee Lauder fragrances and many more.
