FQ Magazine was launched in 2003 and was the second ‘dad’ magazine to hit the UK news stands aimed at new dads and single fathers. The first issue featured David Beckham.
FQ Magazine targets men whose lifestyles have changed due to having children, but are still interested in fashion, cars and gadgets. Celebrity parents have created an image of cool dads that like to lavish themselves, and families, with consumer products like designer pushchairs and designer clothes. Famous fathers including José Mourinho, Ewan McGregor, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Frank Lampard and Jamie Oliver are amongst some of the fathers interviewed by the magazine.
Damion Queva, FQ Magazine's UK publisher, has made appearances on a number of television and radio stations/shows, including BBC Breakfast, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 5 Live, Sky News, Living TV and The Baby Channel.
Famous quotes containing the word magazine:
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
