GUS's Good Fortune

"HAPPINESS CONSIST MORE IN THE SMALL CONVENIENCES OF PLEASURES THAT OCCURS EVERY DAY, THAN IN GREAT PIECES OF GOOD FORTUNE THAT HAPPEN BUT SELDOM TO A MAN IN THE COURSE OF HIS LIFE" – Benjamin Franklin.



Without really knowing why, we all wish we were born with the best of luck on our side. GUS Magazine opens this month with the philosophical question whether it would be nice to know that what ever you do and what ever happens, you know it will be in your best interest, or if life should leave things open for fate and coincidents. Turning the pages, GUS doesn’t leave anything to coincidents if it comes to quality and beauty.



This month, Belgium’s and Benelux’ number 1 high class gay magazine GUS brings a variety of interesting and beautiful essays. It already starts with the discovery of cover boy Govan, a 23 years old college professor and the answer if it comes to guaranteeing no one will ever again miss class. Soon after that the magazine brings us the talented Antony Gayton and Joseph Sinclair. For fashion GUS turns its attention to designer Jeremy Scott for an interview and photographer Bell Soto for an essay. And if that isn’t enough we find articles on Buenos Aires, Thom Browne, Daft Punk, Miss Kiitin and k.d.Lang. In other words, the 39th edition of GUS magazine, and the launch of their new website, is definitely good fortune. -B-
