Yes, They're Real

Last summer I expounded on the wonders of Bitch magazine. This post will be spotlighting Bust magazine.

Bust has been around for a long time and was created by those two awesome chicks that brought you Stitch N' Bitch and The Happy Hooker (crochet book), Debbie Stoller and Laurie Henzel. Bust is Bitch's bratty pop culture lovin' little sister. Definitely more light hearted and vibrant than the seriously serious Bitch. Bitch is dark crimson and Bust is day glo green.

This month British songstress Lily Allen graced the cover along w/ articles about indie bands, weirdo books, Neil Gaiman, practical advice about sex and relationships and a hi-larious story about the origins of Mother's Day.

It's nice to take a break from the uber-feminist speak of Bitch. And Bust is printed more often that Bitch, 6 times a year compared to 4. The only real problem I have w/ Bust is the fashion stuff. Too high priced and marketed for the size 4 and smaller set. Plus there was a whole page of jumpsuits and rompers. Really? That's the look for spring? Ummmmmm...... not so much. Thanks anyway.

Have a great Easter everyone. If you don't celebrate Easter, have a lovely springy weekend.

Bitchfest!

A note of apology: I didn't not fully edit yesterday's post and for that I'm sorry that everyone had to read my grammatical mistakes.

Now to business:

I was blissfully reading in the bed the other night my favourite magazine, Bitch. I was deeply engrossed in a thought provoking and intelligently written piece about reproductive technology by Meisha Rosenberg.

And to my delight I noticed in her bi-line that she lives not 30 minutes east of me in Troy, NY. Wow, a feminist with a sense of humour and fellow cat lover. Meisha Rosenberg let's be friends!

By the by, this season's issue of Bitch magazine is chock full of great articles involving the theme of origins of life. more to come on Bitch in a later post.
