Chris Vaughn Featured in M.A.R. Magazine

Back in the mid-2000s, Red Bank, New Jersey was buzzing with culture, style, and the energy of a thriving creative scene. One of the standout publications of that era was M.A.R. Magazine, a glossy lifestyle magazine that blended fashion, entertainment, and local spotlights. The issue was especially notable because Donald Trump appeared on the cover, underscoring the magazine’s mix of celebrity influence and regional prestige.

Inside, a special feature showcased Chris Vaughn alongside Ford model Desiree Dymond and Dan Griffin, capturing a moment where music, modeling, and media collided. The spread placed Vaughn among a vibrant collection of personalities—publishers, models, executives, and rising talents—reflecting the magazine’s commitment to highlighting both national figures and local innovators.

The event coverage pages presented gatherings of Red Bank’s creative community: fashion icons, media entrepreneurs, and industry leaders mingling under the banner of M.A.R. Vaughn’s inclusion connected his artistic trajectory to the wider cultural conversation happening in New Jersey at the time.

This feature serves not only as a time capsule of Vaughn’s early career moments but also as a reminder of the regional creative networks that helped shape his path forward. Being included in an issue headlined by Trump underscores how M.A.R. Magazine sought to balance star power with emerging voices—a balance that gave the publication its edge.
