Help Create an Adult Magazine Devoted to Organic Beauty
A modification-free adult magazine for men with discriminating tastes
SHORT SUMMARY
When was the last time you looked at an adult magazine and saw true beauty, free of Photoshop, surgical enhancements, and an excessive amount of makeup?
Raphaël magazine is the adult magazine for men who are sick and tired of the same old-same old skin mags. Who’ve had enough of looking at women who are just not real. And if the women in adult magazines aren’t plastic Barbie dolls, they’re sporting body modifications like piercings and tattoos – not everyone’s cup of tea! Where are the pure, natural beauties? They’re out there, and we intend to be the magazine showcase them.
That’s where Raphaël comes in. We’ll fill the void left by other adult magazines, and will take supporters of the project behind the scenes of its creation like never before. We’re not a dirty magazine, we’re creating visual art with natural female beauty. There will always be something left to the imagination –no full nudity.
In addition to the hard copy magazine – each a stunning embossed collector’s edition on high-quality paper stock – Raphaël will be a video site and interactive community, allowing subscribers access to all things Raphaël. Until that site is funded and launched, there is only one way to gain special access, and that’s to contribute.
WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT YOU GET
Raphaël is a high end magazine featuring the highest quality, from the models to the photographers to the printing. Here’s a breakdown of what we’ll need to cover our expenses for the first year:
- Model fees (12-15 models), travel expenses, accommodation and food for the week
- Web developer, programmer and website
- Printing and design of magazine (very high quality)
- Hair, make up (the bare minimum) and wardrobe
- Lighting and audio
- Production crew
- General staff
- Set design
- Set locations and props
- Camera and video equipment
- Editing of magazine and video
- Professional photographer and camera man
- Gala launch party
- Insurance and legal services
- Miscellaneous
To show our undying appreciation for your contribution, we offer some amazing perks! All contributors of $25 or more will receive a digital download of our premiere edition. The more you contribute, the more VIP access you’ll receive. We’re talking live feeds, live interactions with our models, exclusive video, invitations to our launch part and galas and more. Supporters will even have a say in how we run things. We want you to join us in this creation, not just throw money at us and walk away.
THE IMPACT
We consider Raphaël to be a movement. A movement for organic beauty. We’re saying “No” to the industry’s artificial idea of beauty, and creating a new standard that we truly believe will benefit men and women alike.

as they come in.
You will vote for your top 15 models you wish to see pose for our first issue.
Barbie Doll Fatigue? This New Adult
Magazine Has What You Need
RaphaelMagazine Aims to Bring “Organic Beauty” to the Adult Market with the
Help of Men Worldwide
TORONTO,
Canada, 28 August 2012–Raphael has no
intention of being just another adult magazine. In fact, its creator, Toronto
entrepreneur Raphael Kojokaro, is determined to revolutionize them. Not by
shocking readers, but by focusing on what he – and, he believes, other men with
discriminating tastes – really want: women with natural, organic beauty, not
surgically-enhanced Barbie dolls. No nips, tucks, silicone or ink. Raphael is an artful magazine that
leaves something to the imagination,one that subscriberswould be proud to set
out on their coffee tables. Magazines of this quality don’t just make
themselves, so Kojokaro has taken to the online funding platformindiegogo.com to amass a community of supporters – not just for funding,
but to involveRaphael’s potential subscribers
directly in the project by including them in its creation.
“Barbie doll
fatigue” is something Kojokaro knows well. “My ex,” he explains, “is a
life-sized plastic Barbie doll. Everything on her, from her nose to her breast
to her hair to her lips, is fake.” The high-maintenance lifestyle became too
much to bear. “I promised myself I would never date another plastic woman,” he
says. “Instead, I want to celebrate real, natural, organic beauty with my
magazine.”
Raphael models, he promises, are a rare
breed for the Adult market. You won’t find surgically-augmented bodies and
faces, piercings or tattoos, or heavy, unnatural makeup. There is no full
nudity. “The photographs are artistic, not pornographic,” Kojokarosays. The
physical magazine, available by membership only, will be released quarterly; an
interactive website offers fresh content between issues.
Indiegogo
contributors will have the opportunity to join Kojokaro on his journey to make Raphael a reality. Contributor perks include access to live behind-the-scenes feeds, live online
Q&As with the models, feedback sessions that allow members participate in
the process, access to an exclusive members-only online community, and invites
to gala events around the globe. You don’t have to be a high roller to get the
benefits: any donation of $25 or more will bring full access.

ABOUT
Raphael Magazine
The first
organic beauty adult magazine, Raphael
is the brainchild of Raphael Kojokaro. A marketing professional and
entrepreneur, he was exonerated of charges related to a falsely reported
business deal in 2007, and has been fighting his way back ever since. After
building a successful business on his own, he decided to pursue his dream of
magazine for men who are tired of the extremes many women go through in the
name of “beauty” – and to show that he would not hide in shame after his
hellish ordeal, he decided to name his magazine after himself.
