Fran Magazine is a unique blend of keen social satire and genuine social concern. We've been written about as everything from "hilarious" to "ballsy" to "a catalyst for personal change". We've been featured in Best New Independent Publishers articles and Best of LA columns, collaborated in art shows and called "party provocateurs". Our involvement within our various areas of focus (music, film, art, partying, etc.) is what keeps the magazine fresh and relevant.

Fran is a rare form of lifestyle magazine that's about real living, not celebrity gratification. We capture the humor, horror, anger and playful excitement of life on a quarterly basis. The idea for Fran came from the teachings and cavortions of Fran Halsbourg, an obscure 18th Century Prussian philosopher who essentially advocated promiscuity in all its forms. Not necessarily immorality, but general revelment and extreme reaction to one's surroundings.
