It's a great pleasure to debut this blog with the announcement of our July/August 2008 print edition. We began production back in February and March. And as with most of our editions, it took some unexpected turns, which included Kristi Yamaguchi's victory on ABC's reality TV show "Dancing with the Stars."
How we even got Kristi as our cover "girl" for this edition is another story. But we got her knowing she was in the TV show as it launched its sixth season. But because the process of putting the magazine together is so laborious and takes a long time, we were expecting the magazine to come out after the season was over--after a "star" was crowned.
Nonetheless, I remember the night she won. All of us editors called each others' cell phones, saying how we needed to change the wording of her article. At the time, the story just made reference to her appearing on the show. The new change included the fact that she won.
By that time, the magazine was already on the hands of our designers. It took just a phone call to make the changes.
We are pleased with the results and we are happy for Kristi.
