The annual swimsuit edition of Cleo may have lost its clad girls wearing bikinis everywhere but their ACP title is never to lose its place on the mag and newsstands.

A few hours before the party of the magazine Miami Nights kicked off at one of the penthouse apartments in Darlinghurst last night, Sarah Oakes, the editor of the magazine Cleo stated that she was getting sick and tired of the many rumors floating around about the magazine facing the chopping blocks.

The rumors, according to Oakes are really outrageous. “We are seeing some good results in the last two months” said Oakes.

The touch economic climate and the falling circulation have prompted the talks about the merging titles as well as the possible closure of some magazines at the ACP by the end of this year.

Following the cuts at the events and publicity department of the ACP, it has been said that the Cosmopolitan and Cleo are rumored to be under scrutiny.

Guest list, a smaller venue and the absence of their bikini models for the swimsuit party held by Cleo this year set off the alarms that there were other plans for the magazine but still Oakes stated there wasn’t really any cost-cutting strategy in the extravaganza last night.

Stocking, a 37-year old single mom, was laid off from work in June last year. She revealed that she had been looking ever since a job that’s related in marketing and design – which was her task during her previous employment.

Yerushalmi also staged a similar protest last year at another market.

The Passover week began on Wednesday and Jewish law specifically bans the selling of leavened products during the holiday.

The Indiana authorities revealed that after they arrested two people in connection with a methamphetamine bust, they discovered that the suspects kept the recipe for making the illegal drug in the last page of the Bible – specifically on the Book of Revelation. The suspects must have thought that the holy book would be a perfect hideaway of the incriminating evidence.

Police Lt. Ed Windbigler told the media that the recipe was handwritten on the bible, hidden discreetly in an apartment where the two were apprehended on Tuesday night this week.

Due to the existence of an active methamphetamine laboratory in the apartment, the officers evacuated the other 18 residents in the apartment building. This served as the second time within the past six months where the police discovered illegal drug activities in the same building.
