Our bodies are a law unto themselves. We try to control them as much as we can, but they always warp back to their own sense of physical righteousness. Sometimes that righteousness involves body hair. Facial hair even. For the guys that's just dandy. Not so much for the girls. Yes. Here is a zine about ladybeards.
Time to live vicariously through other people's lives. When the zine devoted to describing other people's living rooms is not enough (livingroom, issues 1 and 2) then maybe the latest issue of Fergus will do the trick. Nothing better than surveying other people's belongings to feel superior/inferior about yourself and your own household objects.
Leave your own headspace for a while and read about Emily (that smelly kid)'s life on the streets of Brisbane. This zine has been around for a while now but this girl's writing about life as a displaced teen is not the kind of thing that dates. She chronicles life in an adult government shelter as a 17 year old, surviving in a world of abuse and abusers as well as fragments of her earlier life in a long term accommodation shelter for young people.
Many readers will be more than familiar with Conor and his work. He's a lovely fellow, a photographer from Perth who lived in Vancouver and Melbourne for a while and now resides in a place called Shag Cottage in Sydney. He's had a few memorable exhibitions in the cities he's lived, and to accompany each one, he produces a little book.
Nobody writes letters anymore. Except Luke You. This week I picked up the latest issue, sat down with a tea and read for the first time about how he's been plagued with crippling doubt. Unusual, I thought. At some point he realised he would be playing the first gig in a long time as lead guitarist and my anonymous hard working zine hero has appeared to suffer a freak out.
For those who know that Less is More, feel that the 50c coin is way oversized and get frustrated with the clunkiness of mobile phones these days, Green Comix presents to you the Comic of Smallness. Nano technology is finally here and it's 32 miniature pages where the only thing oversized is the staple holding it together and the dandy dog character's earplugs.
Once upon a time, in a sleepy village called Brisbane, there lived a bunch of exceptionally clever, remarkably attractive, and undeniably stylish ladies - each with mad skills. Art show after thrift store after market stall after cup of coffee - the ladies' paths crossed and it was only a matter of time before a super-group was formed; a collective with a keen eye for vintage and a sixth sense for finding other ladies with special skills of their own.
