Mister gets personal

From The Village Voice to On Our Backs, us magazine-readers have been openly ISO community organizations, mutual aid, roommates, jobs, and quickies for as long as we’ve had access to mimeograph machines! 

For the first time EVER, Mister Magazine will publish its own Classifieds section in its oh-so-very glossy pages. For the low, low price of ten dollars (and up!), YOU can buy an ad for your band, business, or bodacious self, which will be published in our upcoming issue. It’s a classic “you scratch our back we scratch yours” situation: WE get a few extra bucks to keep the lights on, and YOU get a new roommate, or client, or…life partner? It’s up to you, boo! Head to our online shop for more information. Opportunity awaits! 

Want to buy an ad but need to get the creative juices flowing? Well, luckily our Editor-in-Chief is not-so-secretly obsessed with vintage personal ads. Hence this whole operation, clearly. Attached below are some of their favorite ads from the archive, for your inspiration and viewing pleasure!
