hello.
It's winter and time to find someone to get warm with. This issue celebrates all the stupid things we do in the name of romance. It's about strong women, lovable men and great stories.
We take a look at some of music's forgotten divas, chat to a saucy frontwoman about her favourite hip swinging tunes, and concoct a fairy tale affair in our latest Fashion Shoot.
So please be our guest for a few moments. Grab your pastel leg warmers and a mug of whisky and get a little lost in our mini winter wonderland.
WHL xx
