The fashion industry may have a long-standing tendency to exclude certain groups and cultures, but more and more we’re seeing this change as people begin challenging the status quo. Now the transsexual community is getting a voice with a new style publication. Billed as “the first transversal fashion magazine,” Candy has just debuted its premiere issue in a limited-edition circulation of only 1,000 copies. The indie publication doesn’t reveal too much through its main online information source, a Facebook fan page, but its official statement explains that the mag is “completely dedicated to celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations ... CANDY is a magazine for everybody. A space for individual freedom, and a publication that pushes people to take on the persona of what they always wanted to be.”

Check out the amazing behind-the-scenes video of the cover shoot of some seriously made-up drag queens, after the jump! Now we’re dying to know more. Where can we get our hands on a copy? [Candy‘s Facebook Page.

Definitely not the "first" magazine.

There are magazines like, Girl Talk, Repartee, Transliving and Transformation , to name a few.

It's a bad time to start a GLBTDQ rag. The economy has already ravaged the existing ones, and causing major changes in format or closing doors. I read that one, I think it was Girl Talk, had to stop the paper format and went to online only, but not sure that was the one. Others have ceased publication, as well as the gay mag The Blade.

Soooo, they come and they go away. From what I saw of the video and the stills, this one will be going away.
