It's an all-out regime change at Ari Horowitz and Bob Hoff's BlackBook.
Earlier this month, managing editor Una LaMarche and photo director Shannon Hall took off. Publisher Joe Landry followed them out the door, with a gig lined up at old haunts Out and The Advocate.

Naturally, our first instinct when witnessing a wave of top-level departures is to expect massive unrest and patent unhappiness. Who hated who? Who backstabbed who? Who didn't love a glossy book filled with pretty people enough to stay? Tell us.
Editorial Director
Heard that Garbarino is known as Garbage-ino around the BB offices for turning the once cool mag into a pile of shit.
You don't lose your Photo Director, your Director of Operations, your Managing Editor, your Publisher, and then your Editor-in-Chief - all in four weeks mind you!!! - without serious shit being wrong at the office…
