Jacques Magazine Keeps It Arty

Do you yearn for a simpler time? Do you dream of days when breasts were real, and smut was only available in magazine form? Meet Jacques, a quarterly publication billing itself as "America's only new luxury erotic magazine." It has the nudes you need.

Some might consider it foolish to launch a magazine in this economy, when print media seems to be in its dying days; but the staff of Jacques is undeterred by such petty concerns. They've got a higher purpose, after all (they even have a mission statement!). What little we've seen of their work—which we're told is shot on film, and never airbrushed or retouched—seems promising. We can only hope they manage to buck current trends and come out on top.
