equal(?)


 
 
 
My submission for the Reflections Contest. The theme was "The world would be a better place if . . .", so naturally, I went the feminist route. Special thanks to Barbie and Ken for letting me adorn their bodies in society's customary sexist terms and double-standards.
 
I have been working on this here and there on the weekends for over a month and have been fantasizing about the day I would turn it in for at least that long, so today is somewhat strange magic.
 
 just listen and you will feel.
 






Anyhow, I really liked this because it is the perfect blend of cute stuffed animals and human organs.

 

 
 
 
I have been away for a little while because of my editor duties at ZINE CLUB(!!!) If you don't submit, do you even exist? HA chew on that . . . and then spit it out, head on over to gohszineclub.blogspot.com, and click the "submit" page on the right side. The rest will be history. Everyone who contributes will get a copy when it is published around xmas break :0
 
ALLLSSSOOOOO anyone who purchases a piece from my shop, brokenumbrellas.bigcartel.com, will get a copy too.
 
Lastly, check out September Issues, this AWESOME new collective and site that I am lucky to be a part of!

oh yeah, she's losing it

for Nylon Mag, like the little fan I am.

Hey Kids (aye-aye, Captain),
the theme for the first issue of the Zine Club zine will be up soon on gohszineclub.blogpot.com. the theme is not a rule over all submissions, so don't think too hard on what you want to send to us. if you want to get reminders about deadlines/contests/OTHER FUN STUFF then text "@gohsz" to (951)801-4846. everyone's welcome ;0

I have been trying to get to the bottom of why doing this project, as we call it, has been giving us so many good feelings. We (me and Shaylie) kind of realized that the beauty of a zine is that it is a purely open forum for truly anyone to create whatever they want, with whatever thesis, and have it presented side-by-side with other opinion of different medium. how is it even possible for all these contrasting ideas to coexist harmonically in a totally AMAZING little publication? strange magic . . . that's all I've got.

make like ebola and SPREAD [the word]

anyhow, a playlist. I didn't even notice this, but Asleep by The Smiths plays before Sunday Morning by The Velvet Underground. It reminded me that as lonely as things can be, or however much you want to "go to bed", if you hold on and wait for Sunday morning to roll around, things will get better. Please wait for Sunday morning.
