The Malibu Times Magazine celebrated its second year of publication at the Beau Rivage Restaurant Friday. Advertising clients, editorial, production and sales staff, as well as writers and photographers who have worked for the magazine since its inception, joined in festivities with fare served up by hosts Daniel and Luciana Forge. Prizes and giveaways lit up the celebration with a third place prize of a free quarter-page ad going to Susan Monus, a second prize of a free half-page ad going to Bo Slyapich (The Rattlesnake Man) and the grand first prize of a free full page ad went to J & L Draperies owners, Jeanie and Roger Pero. Guests went home with Malibu Times Magazine polo shirts and caps.
