The new city magazine "b-metro" launched last night.

Our long-time friend Joe O’Donnell unveiled his new glossy publication at Cantina Tortilla Grille in Pepper Place. Turnout was amazing — and everyone was buzzing about the magazine. Joe is the former editor of Birmingham magazine, and he and several former Bham folks have started their own lifestyle publication about The ‘Ham. Ad sales and marketing gurus Cathy Fingerman and Jane Higdon are part of the team, as is former Birmingham art director Robin Colter. Sarah Best is the new media producer, giving the magazine a big on-line presence with plent of blogs and on-line content.

There’s a great article on Pamela Reed, who is a model, etiquette coach and style diva. She helped me pick out my BCBG dress for the party!

There are some gorgeous photos by Angela Karen of Birmingham Bombshells, Chuck St. John and Colleen Duffley. I’m doing some photography and writing for upcoming issues, so we’re looking forward to B-Metro making a splash in the city.
