CHEEKY TATT-TWO

On Mike, by Marissa. I guess that means that all Cheeky tattoos are only officially sanctioned if by the hand of Missy P.

TOO OLD TO INTERN, TOO YOUNG TO CARE

That's our story and we're sticking to it.

Very Okay has a blog now.

Review of Trophy Wife’s new record at Sadie Magazine

Sadie Magazine's Fall 2010 issue just launched, featuring my review of Trophy Wife's new record, Patience Fury.
Musically, Patience Fury appeals to my Black Sabbath fan sensibilities as well as fulfilling a lot of what I want out of good punk rock. Ideologically, it is rare that a metal band has a direct relationship to a feminist scene, or feminist politics, and Trophy Wife embodies that relationship. Otto and Foglizzo face each other when playing shows, building off of each other’s energy and connecting in a way that perhaps only two people can. They share personal stories with political ramifications and engage the audience in the conversation. As this is Foglizzo’s first band, Trophy Wife exemplifies creative openness that a DIY approach to music makes possible.
Read the full review here.

Are you an artist? Do you love International Girl Gang Underground?

Reblogged from International Girl Gang Underground HQ:

WE WANT YOU TO DESIGN OUR COVER!

The International Girl Gang Underground zine needs a cool, one-of-a-kind cover that will represent the breadth of subjects, styles, and stories of the Girl Gang Underground. The zine will be 1/2 of an 8.5” x 11” page, copied in black & white. Your art should be suited for black & white copies - so a good amount of contrast is necessary.

Please submit your sketch or proposal (along with a link to a portfolio/images of your other work, if you have one) by Wednesday, September 29th. The final product is due Wednesday, October 27th.

E-mail submissions are preferred (PDFs or JPEGs) at girlgangunderground@gmail.com
See website for mail-in submissions, must be postmarked by 9/29.

In Solidarity,
Kate & Stacy

P.S. PASS IT ON!
