Treats! Magazine is such a publication. In their own words:
TREATS! Magazine is a limited edition fine art, printed quarterly. Featuring luxurious and exclusive content by the best photographers, models, stylists, writers and artists.

And here’s how it was done in my day.
Ha ha I love Ben’s video, it’s awesome. I wish I had gotten that job! Well you make do in life I guess.
