THE REFRESH ISSUE
July is a special month for us. When you pick up this month's KLue, you'll notice the increase in pages - yes, we've supersized ourselves to include new sections and new columns. It's still the same KLue you know, but with added fresh factor!
In PULSE this month, we pimp out one of our favourite Klang Valley stops, CZiplee. They've opened a new branch called CZiplee Plus that features a Moleskine wall and other drool-worthy premiums. Our Introducing profile of the month is Elza Irdalynna, an up-and-coming actress with some pretty established roots in the scene. In Eat & Drink, get the dibs on Aussie cult juice bar, Boost and also on the gorgeous looking (and smelling) bakery, simply called The Bread Shop. New additions to the Eat & Drink section include a two-page featury story that centers around the love for food - and this month, we asked some of the Valley's brightest personalities on how their fantasy dinner party would look like. There's also now a column in Eat & Drink, written by Honey Ahmad from Fried Chillies. The Shopping section has been renamed Life & Style to incorporate more than just your shopping fix! In here, check out music reviews, TV/radio spotlights for the coming month, a travel section and the debut of a new column called Get A KLue. We've also dedicated an entire section to the arts, called ... well .... The Arts! Here, get updated on what's happening in the arts scene, as well as recaps on exhibitions, plays, dance recitals, etc. that took place over the past month. You just gotta pick up the magazine to find out how it all plays out.
July is also when we reveal the 10 finalists of the KLue Blue Chilli Awards. We've got a multimedia artist, a climate activist, a sugar artist, an actor .... it's definitely a diverse group of people. Also, we dig into the beginnings of the Bangsar boutique phenomenon in our second feature, while contributor Priya Narayanan sits down with award-winning author Tash Aw to speak about his new book, Map of the Invisible World (amongst other things).
And our handpicked events of the month are featured in Around Town: KL Tower Indie Fest 2, Merchants of Bollywood, Envy live in KL, and Heineken Green Room (technically on 1 August, but you'll need time to get those invites!).
Have a smashing month ahead!
