[citytown] femme

I have a very exciting opportunity in my cards these days. My friend (who is also the older sister of a very good friend I have known since Hand Middle) Katie is publishing a 'zine here in soda city and has asked me to help. She previously ran a pretty badass 'zine while living in Nashville (Nashville Femme: see above photos) and would like to produce something similar, but not identical, right here in Columbia.

I published my own 'zine from fifth through sixth grade, Bubblegum Monthly. Great name, right? While I either cringe or laugh hysterically-mostly the former-at how "cool" I thought I was (not that I have reached said status quite yet, either...), how many 11-year olds did you know with their own publication? Once I scrounge up all copies I can (of course, how many 11-year olds do you know wise enough to save what really matters?), I will post them. I have the skeletons prior to publications, and somewhere a floppy disk with all original issues is floating around my mom's house. Somewhere a computer which still reads floppy disks, too, is floating around. Each will be near-impossible to navigate.

I AM SO EXICTED!!!!!!!!1

Also:
Miss Kennedy better like her cool gifts she is getting for Secret Santa. Miss Kennedy also better not be Jewish or read my blog.

armless wonders

I accidentally cut off this tiny dancer's arm while getting exacto knife-happy ...which reminded me of another ballerina I accidentally dismembered. whoops. Good thing I gave up my Kirov (pft) dreams in high school.

red friday

I went swimming in a sea of leaves today. All ticks and mites aside, it was pretty fun.

Don't act like my mom doesn't have the best dishware.

Thanksgiving Celebratory Event, 2009
Better than last year's-probably because it's a "school night," and drinking on those nights screams "rebellion."
