Humor by Larry Tritten Publisher's Note - Right Up Front 1999...AND BEYOND! As you may have already noticed, we've changed our annual 'Girl Next Door of the Year' voting issue from July to August. We've done this to coincide with the complete overhaul of our fabulous website, (http://www.gallerymagazine.com), so we can now accept your votes online as well! By the way, I want you to check out all the other cool stuff we've added while you're browsing around, and as always, tell us what you think. I'm predicting that our new online voting, combined with the fact that this year's entrants are all so gorgeous, should guarantee the highest number of votes ever! Remember to vote carefully, because the girl you select as the 1999 `Girl Next Door of the Year' will he the last one of the current millennium! Next year's winner will be the first of the new millennium, which will also mark the beginning of Gallery's fourth glorious decade of publishing. To date, this competition has spanned three decades from the '70s to the '90s. Seems hard to believe, but most of this year's monthly finalists weren't even born back then. As always, your vote will decide the winner. Thank you for choosing Gallery. - RUSSELL T. ORENSTEIN President and Publisher
