New Online Magazine "Refined Rogue" Celebrates Return of the Gentleman

Atlanta, Georgia – May 7, 2007 – The “man’s man” is back and with a vengeance, according to the founders of new online men’s magazine and free daily email newsletter Refined Rogue.

Launched in April by Elizabeth and John Paul Rowan, Refined Rogue serves as a lifestyle manual for the traditional yet modern man. The clean, richly designed site (www.refinedrogue.com) covers topics from menswear and etiquette to technology, leisure, food and wine, with a humorous approach to the “new gentleman” of the twenty-first century.

Seeking to keep men stylish and distinguished in all areas of life without sacrificing their masculinity, the website delivers a free newsletter from one of five categories to online subscribers daily. Reviews of new gadgets and tips for recreational and culinary pursuits accompany witty reminders of classic menswear must-haves and imperative social skills needed to navigate a contemporary man’s world with ease.

“Men are overwhelmed these days by fleeting trends and tips of two extremes: either feminine or unbecoming, unrefined behavior. We’re hoping to hail the middle-ground – a man who appreciates the finer things in life, has a sense of humor and adventure, and enjoys life without being self-absorbed to either extreme. So far, we’re receiving a great response for offering an alternative to metrosexuality and its bad-boy opposite,” says co-founder and editor-in-chief Elizabeth Rowan.

“We also hope to assist men in transitioning from a college lifestyle, where anything goes, to adulthood – equipping them with fundamental life skills to smoothly enter the professional arena. But don’t get me wrong – Refined Rogue is anything but preachy. It’s entertaining and tongue-in-cheek advice,” says John Paul Rowan, website co-founder and president.

The site boasts a focused demographic primarily consisting of college-educated, affluent, influential men of 22-40 years of age, throughout the United States, Latin America and Europe.

Refined Rogue maintains an online archive of previously posted articles, and is available via free subscription at www.refinedrogue.com.

Refined Rogue is a free newsletter and online magazine dedicated to the man’s man, the quintessential gentleman in the making, the twenty-first century dude with a dose of class. Equal parts smooth, rugged, and traditional, it’s the info that your older brother should have taught you – had he been dating Honey Ryder, crooning with the Rat Pack and outsmarting spies, all while wearing a three piece suit. Served straight up daily, shaken not stirred.
