611. Romantic Times Rewind: April 2005 Ads & Features


Listen Later

Y’all, the April 2005 issue of Romantic Times is a treasure of truly amazing fun. So many of you told me that episode 609, where we looked at the reviews, made you laugh so hard you cried.

Well, let me share some highlights of what is about to happen to your eardrums.

  • The Mr. Romance Cover Model Pageant was a Six-episode reality tv show on the Oxygen network, and we missed it when it ran. It’s not all on YouTube but we have a few links!
  • We have the arrival of what I called the “venti sized” paperback
  • Romance writers with “dedicated rooms for Star Wars collectibles!”
  • We’ve got some disturbing gimp masks on computer generated Poser people.

It’s a glorious time. Come on over.


Did you ever attend Mr Romance at RT? Did you see the Mr Romance Pageant on tv?! And gosh, do you have a Romance SoundTrack CD? Please tell me everything.


Don’t miss the visual aids!
