B EAST Magazine website

July 20, 2010

B.East Magazine’s cult ‘RED’ issue, whose print version has completely sold out, is now available for digital download on London-based OtherEdition. Check it out on OtherEdition/Beast. For the first time, our fans can now download the entire magazine in digital format for their Macs or PCs. You can release the Beast on your desktop right now!

The classic Red Issue, with its leprous Russkie Ronald Mc Donald on the cover (which caused one of our advertisers to drop her lunch box) includes bloody images from St. Petersburg’s Dr. Evil, a travel journey through Communist Romania, adventures on St. Petersburg’s Red Line, and a gorgeously tongue-in-cheek fashion editorial by Moscow’s Ja’Bagh Kaghado. Some advertisers dropped out after the issue and it’s outrageous graphic style was critisized as too loud & simplistic. However, in retrospect it has become our favorite issue, the one that distilled the B.East essence by instinct.

Our next Black&White-out issue, which is debuting in October, is also going to be available for the iPad and iPhone, so stay tuned to this site for more signs from the Beast.

French DJ legend rocked Kiev’s Buddha Bar this week, and yeah, was a pretty awesome party. What’s even kooler is that he took time off from spinning to pose for one of our Beasties. She was smoking in a little yellow dress and Medusa locks and guess Sinclair being French, couldn’t resist. So here you go.

And here’s the Beastie Grrrls that flashed Sinclair for these photos -)

At B.East we have tended to celebrate the spontaneous hedonism of an Eastern Europe unfettered in the last decade. Dr. Evil’s bloody portraits, Prague’s backstage porn shoots and Warsaw’s naughty strip bars were hailed as the Beasts of the East. However, in the last few years, B.East itself has become a rallying cry especially in East London, which has taken over from New York’s 80s downtown scene and East Berlin’s mid 90s techno madness. The Beautiful Freaks show photographed by Raf Obergfell, www.ralfobergfell.com opening this Friday in London’s Dalston Superstore, is like scooping ice cream into a junkie’s brain. The wild, gorgeous, transgressive images capture the flaming pink flamingos of East London’s zany nightlife. It includes a private view, curated by artist and set designer, Tony Hornecker where the freaks themselves perform behind pinholes, two-way mirrors and other devices, creating a horror house feel.
