Bimbo - Issue One

Letter from the Editor
Hello everyone! This is the much (and sadly long) awaited first edition of Bimbo, the magazine that’s not just news.
Please welcome and congratulate our cover model AliceMegan93!
This first issue is not as padded as it could be, and I’m still looking for staff to contribute. If you want to help, just message me. We have articles, interviews and recipes.
The fashion spread will be up in the next few hours.
Send in your worries and our Agony Aunt will help you, review recipes so that everyone knows what you think about them, and enter competitions to be the next cover model or fashion spread model.
So, enjoy and tell me what you think and how we could improve.
Mwah.

Miss Bimbo, the New Enemy by  Aelina

As Miss Bimbo players, we've all gotten accustomed to certain aspects of the site - for instance, the plastic surgeries, the weight factor, and the boyfriends. But to Holly Housewife, mother of young girls, how does it look?
There's always been controversy and uproar about it - that's how many of you heard of (and got hooked into) this site. Would it be appropriate for a young girl to do many of the things our bimbos do? Not really. But what outsiders forget is that this is a role-playing site. One who might be swayed into having surgery or obsessing over her image is almost comparable to someone who might go out and try slaying ogres after playing Runescape. Most people, especially most people on Miss Bimbo, are mature enough to separate games from reality, even if the game is more realistic than a fantasy battle game.
So, if Holly Housewife (and other mothers out there!) and her daughters are so offended by this game, perhaps they should all just relax and try seeing it for what it is - a fun, funny game, in which you pretend to be a glamorous socialite--nothing more, nothing less.



BIMBO MAFIA
Mess with us and you’ll be sleeping with the lipsticks
By Atredis

They are fashionable. They love cookies. They are Bimbo Mafia.
PinkPerfection is the don of Bimbo Mafia Cleek, the first cleek in the Top Fashion Cleek.

How did you come up with the idea, considering you were among the firsts to start a cleek? Why "Bimbo Mafia" as a name?
Well, I wanted to join something, to make more friends on Miss Bimbo, and just feel more at home.
So I looked in the forum checking out all the other ones which at the time were the 'Meanieheadz' and the 'Freakieheadz'. I checked out some of the pages of these threads; the Meanies didn’t seem very welcoming, and the Freakies seemed to be talking about something that I knew nothing about. So I made my own thread just randomly talking, and then wondered 'Shall we start our own group?' It was me MissAsia and Papillionsky at first, and our motto was to offer some kind of protection. The three of us found this very amusing because we thought it sounded like some sort of mafia, and taa-daa the Bimbo Mafia was born. People actually started wanting to join us and be part of us, so we decided to be brave and start our own 'group' ( as it was known at the time). 
It then got turned into a cleek, and we are now one big family

How many members do you have now? What’s the average age of your members?And how do you accept new members?
I don’t know how many members we have exactly, im thinking maybe something between 60-80 ? I’ve lost count now
The average age of our members I would say is about 18-35, quite strange because I am only 16, but it’s good to know some more mature ladies and gents because they are wiser, and always give us, the young ones, advice and tips they have learnt in life. We also give them tips for their children they, like stuff they might like and stuff they think is really embarassing and anoying.
We did at one point have all the members PM me if they wanted to join, but as we got more poular I found this time consuming, as i would log in and have about 6 requests, it doesnt seem that much, but when you have to reply to them all, explaining who is who and what is what it gets a bit time consuming[ed: I know how you feel!]. So I then decided that anyone can join, without asking me, and all they have to do is add our signature and come and say hello in the thread.

How did you decide on the hierarchy? I mean, I see you have a don, capos and so on... How did you come up with that?
The godfather film inspired me, the names used are the acctual names of the mafia ranks (found via wikipedia haha) and i just wanted people to feel special, for everyone to have a chance on the front page. The underbosses choose who is a capo and who isn’t, they tell me who has contributed to the thread and who they feel deserves to be a 'capo'.

How long do you, and your members, spend on chating in the Bimbo Mafia thread? What are the topics of discussion? Or at least some of them.
Topics change so much, quite often it starts with weather, then it turns to TV, then boys, and very often ends up about cookies We have, I would say, weekly cookie fights friendly of course haha

I see you have a competiton going, so can you tell me about other competitions you have had?
We haven’t had any other competitions, I just thought it would be nice to have one and then get things for there signatures if they win. I’m thinking of starting a treasure hunt soon as well, were I hide a picture of a gold coin somewhere in the forum, and the first person to get back to me with all the details of it or a screenshot gets something for the signature

What do you think of Top Fashion Cleek, considering your are 1st at the moment?
I’m very proud of our members, and love the fact that we are at the top, I know that all the members are very fashionable and I’m sure we will stay at the top for a very long time hehe.
I’ve noticed that being at the top has pulled in some new members too, another reason why I am happy we are at the top

Would you like to say something to Bimbo Magazine? Or to our readers?
Come and join the Bimbo Mafia, we offer the highest kind of protection, not to mention the big bucket of cookies you will get And remember mess with us and you'll be sleeping with the lipsticks
