LOS ANGELES — Transformation Magazine has announced the release of its 5th Annual Summer Issue (#102), featuring cover model Sunshyne Monroe.
“Issue #102 celebrates Transformation’s popular annual sexy swimsuit feature,” said Transformation’s Editor Kristel Penn. “It was a tradition we wanted to continue and thought it would be fun to give an extra incentive by turning it into a contest.”
Penn says submissions were received from people around the world, from both performers and non-performers.
“Beauty comes in many forms and we wanted to showcase that here,” Penn added. “Likewise, we thought Sunshyne Monroe, affectionately nicknamed ‘the Body,’ would be perfect as our cover model.”
Transformation hosted an open competition and encouraged people to submit their best swimsuit photos for a chance to be featured in the magazine and cash prizes donated by Grooby. With nearly a hundred entrants, the editorial staff selected a handful of submissions for the photo spread feature and awarded Tatiana Summers as the grand prize $500 winner, with runner-ups Shiri and Sasha de Sade taking home $200 each.
“It’s hard to believe that the swimsuit theme issue we developed spur of the moment has already reached its fifth year and is still going strong, continuing to be our most popular issue of the year,” stated publisher Hanna Rodgers. “I wanted to give T-girls an opportunity to show off their beautiful bodies, to celebrate all shapes and sizes and levels of transition in order to inspire everyone in the community to be proud of who they are. I’m extremely pleased that Kristel has kept the tradition alive and has made so many improvements to Transformation overall; the magazine just keeps getting better and better with every issue, and our fans are loving all the changes.”
“My goal for Transformation is to retain its unique intersectionality. It’s a lifestyle magazine for experience-rich lives — we don’t shy away from nudity, sex and sexuality, kink play, and other topics that are relevant to the LGBTQ community,” Penn added. “We aim to be a resource with a wider reach than just adult content.”
Transformation Magazine is now available at CenturianOnline.com.
