Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 3, 2006
Before you allow your children to purchase media products that may influence their decisions in life or their own perception of themselves, check out Lil Miss Thang online Magazine. No newcomer to urban life, native south-central Los Angeles, Andrea Woods and Wesina Orso, have created the very first teen urban magazine geared to improve young people’s self perception.
Today, kids are presented with the many issues and much like the experience in their own lives growing up in the inner-city of Los Angeles, both ladies wanted to share these experiences with today’s youth in the form of a positive magazine. As a result, Lil Miss Thang was created out of the desire to reach out to tomorrow’s trend setters by allowing their female readers to know they have media that reflects their daily realty. Both women realize the importance of obtaining parental acceptance to go hand-and-hand with this influential online media.
What distinguishes LMT’s approach from other teen-oriented magazines is that it will reflect the diversity of the urban experience. “Our Magazine will influence young peoples lives by means of their choices in everything from fashion to dealing with relationships with their family members, parents, and boyfriends. We should have a say in those choices,” says LMT’s C. E.O. Andrea Woods. Lil Miss Thang online magazines focuses on the things teens enjoy like make up, hot teen guys, celebrity inside scoops and the many issues today’s females encounter growing up in their urban setting. The magazine’s celebrity and fashion line up’s are inching up the media ladder with the competitive likeness of magazines like Seventeen Magazine and Teen Vogue. LMT’s aim is to bring topics that teens from multicultural communities of its readers can enjoy. According to LMT C. O.O. and co-owner Wesina Orso, "The question I get most often is, 'Are you considered the good girl magazine?'” The team insists the magazine perhaps could be considered “good,” however, they are simply trying to impact young women’s lives by not only presenting things that are considered trendy but healthy and uplifting alike.
Lil Miss Thang, Inc. plans to release there first online issue of the magazine on June 5, 2006. The first issue will touch on topics from “25 Hot Guys under 25 “ to Teen Domestic Violence and the sign parents should watch for while raising teens. Lil Miss Thang online is a source to open topic between teens and parents on touchy issues that maybe affecting your youth today. While reporting untold teen problems, the online publication also features very positive inspirational pieces with young entrepreneur BRE from the Nickelodeon new up and coming show “Star Camp” with Giggle Club/Star Camp C. E.O. Nick Cannon. Every month will bring articles that highlight many positive people influencing urban culture.
The June 2006 issue should be embraced by parents and teens alike. LMT encourages parents to write and request issues they would like to see addressed amongst teens. Andrea and Wesina do promise this, “Our magazine will promote positivity, entertaining, and self esteem-building features. This is why we say, Lil Miss Thang has attitude for all the right reasons.”
