send help

happy no-school Monday (aka President's Day)!

besides remembering the presidents in all their . . . glory, we also ask you to remember that you MUST MUST MUST send in a submission   and donate a couple bucks by next meeting (this Thursday) in order to have FOOOOOD at the following meeting! We currently have 4 submissions for Issue #2: I Don't Know Yet, and about $13 donated. We are asking for 15 submissions and $40 total in order to reward you!
If everyone pitched in just a little bit, we would certainly meet our goal and would be able to do more crazy things. I, for one, have been contemplating a club cotton candy machine . . .

ALSO, please, I beg you, get the Dirty Girls photo permission slips signed. All they need is the consent of your folks to post pics that might include you on their website in a feature they want to do! You can email us a pic or give it to me at any time around school. You only need to complete this form if you were at the launch party and were participating in any picture taking.

so skidaddle! get creative!
SAFETY FIRST!

CALLING ALL CHILD MODELS (that would be you):
The Dirty Girls (Amber, Harper, Casey, and ally Susie) who somehow got lost and ended up at our Launch (jk) would like to do a post at their website, dirtygirlsproject.com! To do so, they need everyone who came to the Launch (and, therefore, might be in the pictures) to sign a MODEL RELEASE FORM, or else your face will be blacked out and no one will ever know who wore that fierce outfit, third person from the left.
obviously, this is importante stuff. we will be distributing the form at this Thursday's meeting (since I just spent an hour trying to outsmart pdf). We need you to turn them into us wherever and as soon as you can, because time may run out and a black hole may eat your face (on the picture(s), anyway). Not only are these girls dirty, they are also SMART - and don't want to get into any more trouble than they already do ;) ;).

roses are red
violets are blue
please give us this form
so we can see you

launch partay

can you say best night ever? in case you weren't there, the night consisted of candy hearts, short films, natalie neal, temporary tattoos, photos via me and, oh my god, a surprise appearance from THE DIRTY GIRLS!!! yeah. I know, we were internally screaming too.

thank you for everyone who showed up and supported the club all this way. without your guys' help, the launch party would have been a total bust. all the work sweat n guts that went into our zine and this party was all you guys! (and a little us, too) hopefully we can all make a lot more fun nights in the future. until then!

the photo booth at the party was also a success! if you got your picture taken and want the photos, comment below and I'll send them to you! you can also spend a mere 50 cents if you want a 4 x 6 print or your picture :)

if you haven't gotten a chance to purchase a zine yet, you can purchase one from zineclub.bigcartel.com, at any of our Thursday meetings or from Alyson herself!

if you couldn't make it to the LP, make sure to check out our raffle sponsors and other things down below. in that case, enjoy these cool pics from a cool night!

Issue #1 now available!

Issue #1: In Another World is now available at zineclub.bigcartel.com! Shoutout to Marahya Navas for being our first-ever order!
The zines will also be sold at next week's meeting and at the Launch Party (next Saturday!)

ideal body types through history

on a non-zine note, I found this quite interesting as I scrolled through Nylon on this post-school Wednesday. a spot on and interesting (to say the least) insight on how the "style" of women has transformed. compared to other eras, how does a look at the standards of the past couple decades make you feel?

the pretty committee

okay, for any of you who have read The Clique Series by Lisi Harrison (aka MY TWEENHOOD), this one's for you.

we are forming a Launch Party Committee for anyone interested in
a) being cool
b) making party playlists
c) decorating
d) being nice
e) arranging art
f) picking food
g) being our friend
h) getting what you want at the party as far as all of these things go
i) meeting Miss Natalie Neal before anyone else
j) bossing people
k) being a part of a committee (bc lol college apps, am i right?)

Just kind of imagine that we are the Massies, putting this whole Launch together - except jk because we are doing the actual work and not hiring servants, but i said IMAGINE.

ALSOOOO, we will probably have a little something extra sweet for all of those that sign up. You can sign up either by commenting here, commenting on our Insta (@gohszineclub), or emailing us (gohszineclub@gmail.com).

If you do not want to help-help, but might be willing to shed a buck or two, here are some little things that we would also love you for:
a) temporary tattoos (cool ones, if you can)
b) bubbles
c) any coolish food you could bring (let us know before)
d) balloons
f) face paint
e) anything else you think would be nice!


AND FINALLY: we are still taking art for the ART GALLERY that we will be featuring at the Launch! You can send it to us, no matter your location, and can either opt to simply display it or sell it!

flipping mail us and do something cool.

kiss hug kiss hug,
Alyson and/or Shaylie

urk

how we feel about this gross, bloated week before Issue #1 will officially be put out. but, like we usually do when we feel gross and/or bloated, we have been watching lots of Law and Order and then trying to do something that makes us feel like we accomplished something.

that something would be deciding the theme of ISSUE #2!!!
check up on the "Submissions" page (top right side) to get the scoop and read up on our new submission guidelines.

another thing would be putting out some numbers (also known as "TIMES") for you guys to show up to that LAUNCH PARTY we have been rambling about. here you go: 6-10 p.m. That should certainly be enough time to eat food, get a temporary tattoo, take a photo at the photo booth with your new friend who also love Wes Anderson, peruse the art gallery, eat some more food, listen to music, fangirl over Natalie Neal, watch the screening of her new film "Seashells", listen to a live Q & A, get her autograph (if you're lucky), buy a zine, enter one of the many raffles, and play in the bubbles, RIGHT?

if you weren't at meeting #13, some tidbits for you:

-zine will be printed in black and white (bc color is for millionaires, apparently), but we will be selling a limited amount of color at a slightly higher price

-we will try to print it on recycled paper, as always

-the black and white zine price will be from $1-$1.50 (TBA)

-start submitting NOW for Issue #2!

-email/comment/text any resolutions you have for Zine (but do not tell us to lose weight)! We have already gotten some great resolutions!

FINALLLLYYY, we will open up the club activity forum to YOU GUYS next week! This means that if anyone has an activity that they would like to be in charge of for next week's meeting, let us know before Wednesday, and we will set you up. This is your chance to get involved. If you are too shy to stand up there and tell people what to do, then just send us a suggestion and we will review it.

dare to be different,
ALyson and Shaylie
