As you hold it in your hand, the IMAGO Zine literally pulses with energy and power. Sandra Roberts, the publication's founder and editor-in-chief, has created a lifestyle brand that truly cultivates the most exotic and dynamic content and personalities available.
IMAGO is style. IMAGO is trend setting in pop culture and counter-culture. IMAGO looks at what's current and what's coming, from around the corner, to across the globe.
IMAGO is cool, sassy, edgy, shocking, sexy, fresh, bold, and seductive. It is curious, ageless, timeless, and interactive. It is a must read.
IMAGO is a magazine that explores all facets of pop culture beyond the scope of the mainstream, and is a lifestyle brand that helps its readers cultivate their inner diva. IMAGO fearlessly pursues romantic illusions and fierce social observations. It connects people, draws people from different backgrounds, different media, different social instincts to create a community of trendsetters and style shapers.
Inside the IMAGO zine you will find artful, edgy photography of a graphically superior quality.
The readers of IMAGO are between the ages of 15 and 35 and anyone who enjoys daring, erotic, high-end fashion spreads, inquisitive profiles of eccentric personalities and exposés probing into the sub-cultural underbelly of fashion, art, music, film, radio, television, the internet and beyond.
Each issue of IMAGO is dedicated to bringing something new to the industry, for those whose passions are so complete and so pure they transcend what is trendy, what is haute couture, and reach into new stylistic and artistic frontiers. IMAGO is all about creating opportunities for expression, for collaboration, for insight and for revelation.
IMAGO's readers are part of the process, acting as guides, audiences, voyeurs, partners and critics. They are as unique and diverse as the pages in each issue of the magazine. What they appreciate is IMAGO's drive to continually search for the 'next big thing. IMAGO prides itself on featuring leaders in the industry who are not afraid to break down barriers, flaunt regulations, and defy the thought police.
IMAGO will take you from the red carpet, to the back alley, uptown, downtown and every stop along the way.
What you may find in any given edition of IMAGO are whacked-out blondes, silicone enhanced body parts, performance art, underground movies, razor sharp wit and commentary, music that transforms and touches, a warped sense of humour, shockingly beautiful confessions, flamboyance, haunting words, decadent treats, and the power of images.
IMAGO loves people who start their own religions, loves deafening silence, dreamscape photographs, the rhythms of nature, gaudily painted fingernails, couture creations, hearty laughter, and the intense energy of youth.
IMAGO brings esoteric style to the people through regular fashion 'events', multimedia experiences that draw eclectic audiences to share these unique sensory experiences.
IMAGO turns fantasy into reality. IMAGO can shock and entertain. IMAGO is both real and surreal. IMAGO is here and now!! It is the quintessential expression of modern day life.
IMAGO came out with a bang in late 2006, and made a tremendous splash in the fashion industry from its birth. From their humble beginnings to their place in the limelight, audiences have been constantly entertained with IMAGO's unique mix of glamour and outrageous fun.
Using the Information Highway as a focus of its research, the IMAGO team spans the globe through the Internet, using applications such as MySpace to focus its research and collaborative efforts.
Roberts personally does much of this labour, toiling and networking to delicately select strong artists to create photo essays and literature elements, as well as the brilliant array of personalities she showcases in each issue.
IMAGO is more than just a magazine. It is a lifestyle, a raison d'etre, an escape, but always an adventure

Who I'd like to meet: Reviews for Jeffree Star and the Miss Mannequin Fashion Show:
On February 17th, 2006, the quiet streets became ignited with a fire of excitement in the form of the Imago zine issue 2 launch party...Miss Mannequin Fashion Show presented by the brainchild of Imago Boutique’s Sandra Roberts. Featuring original fashion designs by up-and-coming designers such as Nervous Breakthrough, Toxic Vision and couture headpieces from Le Petitie Chapeau. Stylist and visionary Sandra with her team mixed elements of punk, glam, deathrock, medical fashion, fetish, fantasy, Japanese Club kid, and horror to create a one of a kind experience at the Foundation Nightclub.
Models strutted down a red carpet while the “paparazzi” flashed from every direction and legions of onlookers roared with excitement. D.J. Daniel Dub was up for the challange of mixing underground music with even the sounds of Strawberry Shortcake. At the end of the runway, models posed for a series of photographs by esteemed photographer Roland of Mannequin Media. The finale of the strut came when the models ascended upon the stage runway and walked off into the audience, fixing themselves in various mannequin poses.
The evening was topped off with a musical performance by MySpace sensation Jeffree Star and his go go dancing sidekick, Raquel Reed. The pair dazzled the crowd and glittered the stage in an orgy of decadence with the Miss Mannequin Show models.
Small city sensibilities met big city attitude in a show that established Imago Boutique as a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world. Stay tuned, the show has just begun.

The Miss Mannequin fashion show, Saturday February 17, 2007. This was an exciting show to be a part of and to watch. Obviously the tip of the iceberg from a creative fun loving fashion visionary known as Sandra. The day started at 1pm that Saturday afternoon. It was snowing when I arrived in this curious little town of Barrie. I went in to the Imago boutique and waited to meet this Sandra who I had only emailed with and only briefly talked to. We meet, we talk, she shows... and immediatly the creative juices start flowing. I see clothes, dolls, models, other artists and I can tell this is going to be one hell of a fun day. What a group of people, so excited so inspired. This is the kind of atmosphere that Sandra creates for you to work in. She prepared, fine tuned, motivated and got people behind her to support her work and vision. To support the main attraction Jeffree Star and leading pop princess Raquel Reed by his side. But through it all she always seems to find that intimate moment to encourage the artists helping her out to be inspired to draw on their own creativity to do their own thing with it as inspired by her creations. But it wasnt all about her it was about a collective of individuals with unique visions unto themselvs and who could take great ideas and inject more great ideas. What we ended up with was a beautiful marriage of fashion and fantasy. Sexy candy girls sprawed out on pool tables, a gorgeous freaky prom girl taunted a hot bubbly "bimbo", a sweet
bride was stalked by a perverted bunny the kind you wouldnt want to meet in an alley in the dark of nite. Can I go on and on about all the cool people and stuff, no. But you can come to her next show to see what kind of cool stuff she comes up with next

Reviews for Portrait of a Misfit Fashion Show:
How a Zombie Reacts To Guitar Feedback
By Lucas Lanthier
I’m a musician, first and foremost. The importance of fashion, to me, is usually secondary to how nice something sounds, which isn’t to say that I have no regard for visual aesthetics. It’s just that, when invited to perform at the Imago Boutique/Magazine fashion show, “Portrait of a Misfit�, I thought I’d play it safe and, rather than compete with the myriad cutting-edge labels and haute-couture haberdashery that would be on display, I decided to simply wear a kimono and have it done with.
The action went down at Oscar’s in Barrie, Ontario, an hour or so from Toronto. I think the same logic that went into deciding the location for the event was applied, in the past, for deciding on the location of certain nuclear reactors. They shouldn’t be too close to big cities because people are prone to melting. And with fashion labels like Toxic Vision, Playdead Cult, Brandon R. Dwyer Couture dresses, Nervous Breakthough, Eryn Reid, Bully, John Fluevogs involved, was a meltdown ever in question? So, armed with my Geiger counter, I settled in and waited for the fun to start.
Robin Black was our MC for the night, and he began calling in the first few waves of Misfits. Deviancy abounded in the lines and textures that began to ooze out onto the runway, but these misfits definitely had a heady sense of what it means to be relevant, as well. Too much deviancy isolates and ultimately disinterests the audience, but these designs pulled everyone in, and when a ballerina in full vigor presented a certain dress, each person in the audience (I’m sure I wasn’t the only one) fully believed that we, too, could dance like that if only we had the right clothes!
But ballet was merely a facet in this chaos-colored gem of an event. Leather and lace, roller skates and tango duets, seven-foot tall men in dresses composed of stuffed-animals, and an albino python, among other things, arrayed themselves to present the wares of Imago Boutique, many of which were crafted especially for the night. Sandra Roberts, proprietor of the Boutique, editor of the Magazine, and director of the Event, strolled casually among the guests, wine glass in hand, in a transport of austerity, taking for granted the menagerie tromping about, the flora and fauna of her universe that so amazed all of us bystanders.
“Are you pleased with how things are unfolding?� I asked her, as a bloodstained prom queen strutted past, a gaggle of glasses burst themselves on the floor nearby and a humanoid monolith in a gasmask oversaw our conversation.
“Yeah,� she replied contentedly, over the din of a tap dance routine, “this is pretty much what I envisioned.�
