Updates!
The Fashion Issue editorials will be released on Friday, October 19, 2012. Our new webmaster is trying out new presentation options. You can purchase it in print Tuesday, October 23, 2012. We’re currently revamping our store.
Good News! We have received emails about the Modeling Issue and its delay. What delayed the issue was we opted to use a foreign printer to print that issue and paid them (in full) thousands of dollars for that issue and our modeling handbook. We never received either of them.
We had to obtain legal representation in the country of purchase and the USA so we could get a full refund. To our surprise, the attorney located the owner of the printing company and she is wiring us our payment within 24-48hrs. This is a victory for us because our attorney stated that this is usually a bad outcome.
If you’ve purchased the Modeling Issue, we’re pleased to say you will finally receive it. If you choose to have a full refund due to delay, please let us know at orders@obviousmag.com. We value your feedback.
We would like to thank our supporters for their patience and glad we’ve found resolution to a horrible yet learning experience. When you know better, you do better.
We are setting up our new store to offer the Modeling Issue, The Sexy Issue and the Fashion Issue all in print for purchase. We will post the availability dates in the store in coming weeks.
We have some great things in store for 2013 and grateful you will be apart of our growth. We have a new marketing team coming and expanding the publication in size, print and digitally.

Email from Daniel Oluwafemi (there’s an personal email in book setup if you ever need advice): I would like to thank you for creating the time to make the modeling handbook for male & female models. It is really tough to find such valuable and valid information in the right direction for models. Upon receiving the handbook and going though it, I couldn’t help but read with great enthusiasm and smile about how the information will lead to a better change and an edge in the industry.
Message from model Macho Baez: “If you wanna better your chances at becoming a ‘working model’, buy the male model handbook! It’s excellent info!”
