Where do you turn when you’re too old for beer and babes, too young for your father’s magazines, and not metrosexual enough for facials and exfoliates? What’s the one magazine that brings it all together for the educated, upscale man who craves the good life and is acquiring the means to achieve it? Avery Cardoza’s Player is a real guy’s guide to celebrities, fashion, cars, technology + good drinks, good smokes and good times.
Fun, smart and snappy, without the smug approach of “hipper-than-thou” magazines that speak to a marginalized audience, Player’s editorial approach is a broad mix of Hollywood’s A-List, useful “how-to” information, and cutting-edge cultural journalism. We challenge the reader while never speaking over his head, urge him to step up to the plate in his everyday life without presenting unattainable goals.
In short, Player is Everyman’s Manual: a blueprint for style, substance and sin–because we all need a little of each.
