It featured information about various artists, celebrities, and entertainers within New Mexico's largest city and was distributed to subscribers across New Mexico's largest markets. Its coverage spanned art, fashion, entertainment, design, food, architecture, travel and more. Francine Maher Hopper is the founder and the publisher. Launched as a quarterly in 2006, the magazine eventually stopped being printed in 2014.[2][3] Their website is no longer active.
