Baracuda Magazine

Does anyone here read Baracuda? I recently picked up an issue with a nice article on OA, as well as other great non-tiki articles, and savory pin-ups of course!

This is a great zine with an interesting history! I'm glad I finally laid down the $4 for a read!

Aloooha!

if you can get past the view of the beauty on the cover, the car used on the cover is Bobby Green's (aka TikiBob) of The Lucky Tiki!

Just like my ol' favorite western says, "I'm roundin' up the troops and comin' at ya hard & fast..."

Yes, it is a great mag. I love the writing as well as the art.

It's absolutely one of my favorite magazines. I have almost every issue. Reading the letter from the editor in each issue is always a highlight. Jeff Fox loves what he does and isn't interested in being a corporate sellout. hooray for Barracuda!

Yeah, I've been picking it up for a long time now, and have been subscribing for the past year (since I moved away from the shop I used to buy it at.)

Many years ago, I bought a great book called "Cad: A Handbook for Heels - The Forgotten Lore of the Red-blooded American Male" which picked up on similar themes, and Barracuda seemed a natural progression.

Every issue seems to have at least one decent Tiki article.

Plus you have to appreciate the recent retro girlie photo of a fully clothed Tera Patrick.

I love it too, and have almost all the magazine they made...I love their recipes too.

Yeah, it's a fun rag and all, but would it kill them to show a boob once in a while?

Where do you all find this magazine? I checked my local downtown mag stand that has a million oddball mags and they didn't have this one? Can you find this at the local Barnes and Nobles? Is this a nationwide publication or a local thing?

(and 'yes', you can find it at Barnes & Noble.)

Ohhh yeah! Looove Barracuda AND Car Kulture DeLuxe!

And I agree, a boob here and there would probably boost sales - especially mine! (Not my man-boobs, I mean their sales, my purchases...get your minds outta the gutter!)

Freakbear - You can go to their web site and they used to have a deal on their back issues...like $16 for 4 or 5 issues? I can't remember, but probably worth checking out.

Thanks SugarCaddyDaddy! I checked Borders over the weekend and they didn't have it. I will check the local B&N tonight. Looks like I am on a quest now!

I love this magazine and one day dream of doing a 'betty' style spread with octavio doing the photo honors...

Cherry- See above posts! LOL! Seriously, if you sent them some pics,I bet they'd stick you in the mag!

By the way, since we're on this topic;

Anyone else get the Mad Fabricators Society DVD? If you like the Barracuda mag, you'll appreciate this DVD. Just got it Saturday and been watching it ever since! And, belive it or not, it has a quick glimpse of some tikis at a show. Pretty cool.
