Naked Eye magazine's publicly stated primary mandate was to "celebrate
Canadian culture by covering national talent with a global perspective". The magazine focused on both Canadian and international celebrities and trends. The magazine originally launched in
Montreal, Quebec, under XMMA promoter and publisher (and then editor)
Burton Rice in 1999 but folded in under a year. It was relaunched as a quarterly in Fall 2007 then was published biannually for its last two issues in 2010. The target reader group of the magazine was people aged between 18 and 35. ==Previously featured celebrities==
