Portlandia

So... thanks to my friend @EVOL_J I discovered the IFC television series PORTLANDIA.  This is a sketch comedy show that stars Carrie Brownstein of the bands Sleater Kinney and Wild Flag and Fred Armison of Saturday Night Live. The sketches are Portland centered but are funny as hell!  If you want a good laugh check out this series :)

Creating Chaos Iss. No. 1

With Creating Chaos issue no. 1 securely behind me I am diving into getting issue no. 2 off and running!  So far the reviews of issue no. 1 have been positive... it gives me a sense of pride to know that I have successfully moved from producing one zine (Little Grrrl Lost & Found) to another (Creating Chaos).  If you have not yet checked out issue no. 1 you can place your order through my etsy shop or hit me up here if you are interested in doing a trade!

Call for Submissions!

This is a call for submissions!!!

Issue number 2 of Creating Chaos will be focused on bodily love. Too often women are exposed to media and marketing images that leave them feeling insecure... too thin... too fat... ugly... too short... too tall... too old... etc. As a result women take drastic measures such as dieting and plastic surgery to try and change "improve" their image to what the media expects them to be. Well, I say this needs to stop!!! Women you should love yourself and your bodies. Be proud of your looks. Flaunt what you have. Never change for anyone but yourself! Don't allow these money hungry media brainwashers make you believe you are not beautiful because you do not fit into their perfect mold.

Ladies I want to hear what you love about your bodies. I want to hear you shout it from the rooftops!

Tell me what you love about your body and why.

Examples:

I love my silhouette - the inward curve of my waist and the way it comes out in my rounded hips.

I love my round breasts because they are fun to squish and hold and one nipple is pierced with the coolest damn peridot nipple ring; and i even love my thighs, which i've tended always to hate and are covered in rows and rows of scars that resulted from that hate - but they remind me that i went through something difficult and i came out pretty much ok on the other side.

I love my entire face, thin lips, my eyebrows my eyes the chubby cheeks I love every inch of my face, I love my ass, it's so big hahaha ♥ And I love my legs and the way they look when they're in heels, the muscles how they look so toned. I also love the curve my body has, it's like an hourglass shape, I think it's absolutely beautiful, and I give thanks everytime. ♥

Send yr submissions to riotgrrrlaz@hotmail.com

Let's start a positive body revolution among young girls and women. Let's be proud of our bodies and recognize that we are all goddesses and that our body is our temple. Love starts from within... Love yrself completely and without any shame!!!
