{ Lady Friend Magazine }

Lady Friend magazine is equisite in its DIY values.. and its commitment to quality. Even though its mostly made up with contributions by women they are always looking for people to get involved (male and female!) Based out of Chicago and produced in part by the amazing painter Christa Donner, these little treasures are a must have for the Zine collector. Issue seven is out now (the "cute" issue) and at only $3.00 a pop.. you cant lose. This is their official announcement email for issue 7: Hi all, Whether you're a ladyfriend or a friend to the ladies, you'll be pleased to know that Ladyfriend's brand spankin' new "CUTE" issue is officially out on the streets and ready to play. Our seventh issue is crammed with great stuff, including interviews with adorable activists Pink Bloque, fabulous hearing-aid-cover designer Mimi Schulman, and cute critic Anne E. Moore, plus stories about pre-teen pageantry gone awry, kick-ass artists who combine cute with creepy, a mini-zine template centerfold thingie, and tons of comic/zine/music reviews for you to love. Can you believe all this smooshy goodness only costs $3 postpaid? We can't either. We've also reprinted ALL of our back issues too(available for the same price), so get your get your well-concealed cash (or check made out to Christa Donner) in the mail so you can be the envy of all your zine-readin' friends. Here's where to send it: Christa Donner Ladyfriend Zine 1951 S. Canalport, 3F Chicago, IL 60616 If you're a bookstore / zine distro and don't have the new issue yet, just drop us a line with how many to send (and make sure we're paid up from last time). Thanks for supporting Ladyfriend! PS. For those of you who couldn't make it out to our little zine tour across the East Coast and Midwest this August, it was a blast!
