Now a little about Salome Magazine
Salome as a mythological character ties into these goals of reinvention as a revolutionary figure. As women we are still objects of sexual desire. We are participating in this "dance" as a matter of course, but we are also preparing our demands and revisiting our desires. My vision for this website is to create an safe online sanctuary where intelligent women may read weekly submissions, consider them, and provide thoughtful and respectful feedback on the issues and opinions discussed herein. Let us forge a community and come to our own individual and communal understanding about our authentic and rich veritable experiences as modern women. Salome seeks new voices, new material, and exceptional content.

Or as Mark puts it - "That's a cool site. I like the inspiration for the magazine and the whole way they are filling the vapid void with better and more intellectual media for women. There is such a dearth of intelligent magazines for women and Salome is remedying that with the help of my little honey bunny." ;0)
