Sweeter Deal. Honey Magazine is modeling a makeover courtesy of its new parent company, Vanguarde Media, which acquired the title last month. The beautified lifestyle
book hit newsstands last week with a host of new departments targeting 18-34 year-old multicultural women, and an increased focus on fashion and beauty (the title now boasts an
entire fashion department). But the mag's main mission is still about empowering young honeys. For example, a new feature, "Head Honey in Charge" focuses on businesswomen making
shrewd career moves. Pitch fashion ideas, beauty products (such as spa treatments), beauty Web sites, and other resources to Editor-in-Chief Asondra Hunter at 315 Park Ave. S.,
New York, NY 10010.
