Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Does anyone remember a magazine that came out in the early 90's, it was a spoof of a magazine like vogue, cosmopolitan etc but was all bears, all the adverts and features were like in the actual magazine but were teddy bears it was really cool.  Ted Menten did some of the bears and Diane Guard I think.

I had a copy which I thought was in my loft but I cant find it!!

If you remember this or you have a copy let me know as I really want to find one and I cant remember what it was called

Heres hoping
