Title: Speaking of Celebrities - Magazine Centerfold Celebrity Search
Post by: plyonsMC9 on August 01, 2007, 05:59:45 AM
I just got a call from Dennis, and Bus Conversions Magazine needs a celebrity bus & busnut(s) for the October issue of the magazine.  Just imagine, you and your sweetie (maybe even with your husband/wife and family as well  :D ) featured as a celebrity.  People across this great nation of ours will pull their vehicles over to the side of the road as you pass by and say - WOW!!  I just saw them in Bus Conversions Magazine.  :D   The prestige, the honor, the glory.  All can be yours! Submit your vitals to editor@busconversions.com  and Dennis will take care of you.  In fact, just let them know that you are interested in the fame, and glory, and they will take if from there. 

You may also reach the office by phone : 714-799-0062 PST

Best Regards to all, Phil

Hi Folks,

To be a centerfold it's quite easy on your part. This is what we did.

1- take some really good pics of the outside of your bus,[about10] then add your construction pics,[30-40] then put them on a disc for Dennis.

2- Compose a story of about 8 to 12 paragraphs, think of a title, put the story on a disc and send it to Dennis with the other items.

3- Drawl a layout of your interior on plain paper, then list all your features and items in your bus, send it to dennis with all the rest....

It's that easy!

Good Luck
Nick-

Just a note on the size of the photographs.

Try to set your digital camera for photos of at least 1 MB. (1024X768, 1152X864, 1280X960, 1280X1024). If you try to use pictures of the same size as you email (640X480, 800X600)they will become grainey and blurred when blown up on the pages of our benefactors magazine.

You wouldn't want your baby to look anything less than her best, now would you?

now you guys explain!!!! ???
i just sent a brief note telling him what we have and how it came about.  i thought he'd respond back if he was interested and we'd follow up with more.

i didn't know we were supposed to do all that work, for pete's sakes.  i've been too busy working on my bus. 
you should have seen my wife's mouth drop when i told her i applied to be a centerfold.  after i explained that it wasn't a beefcake mag, but the Bus mag for us and the bus, she still wasn't happy.  she's a bit of an introvert and public pictures aren't her style.  Oh well!

Gary Lombard could give mac plenty of photo's  also does a good job of telling a tale.

he might even get a free subscription if he writes several stories.

I really enjoy his pictures and comments. A story in the magazine about the "rustless money pit " would be good reading.
