It’s a “Happy” Ellen Degeneres
CAROL BROOKS’ FIRST MAGAZINE FEATURES OPENLY GAY ELLEN DEGENERES!
Kudos to First’s Editor-in-Chief Carol Brietzke Brooks!
It’s great to see Ellen DeGeneres as the main cover image of First Magazine. Ellen made a huge comeback with her daytime talkshow after coming out to the world and telling everyone she’s gay on her self-titled show.
With the new issue of First Magazine, you’ll find out Ellen’s “Happy” Secrets! (No, happy is not code word for gay, silly.) I’m sure we’ll find out some great tips though since Ellen does seem pretty happy most of the time.
On a side note, I once walked Ellen down the red carpet when I was in PR working for MTV and she was awesome. She had been through so much but represents how important it is to believe in yourself and never let any one hold you back! Another reason why she’s a great choice for this cover of First Magazine.
The main cover line of this issue of First is “Your Metabolism Unleashed.” It appears directly over Ellen, which throws this cover off a bit. It’s clear that Ellen is not someone battling weight issues so the line doesn’t work with the main image. This confusing layout will hurt First on the newsstands.
