Description: Almost Famous interviews Seattle drag queen legend, Sylvia O'Stayformore Short fictions by BentheMad Karley Bayer and Deirdree Prudence Dear Boy, an anonymous letter begging for love and/or sex In 10 Words: What do you consider masculine/feminine/androgynous? Readers answer A Field Guide to the Modern Woman Buttersword and Wicket & Imp comics Rachel Pybon discusses how riding a bus in Egypt when she was a teenager changed her views on feminism Elle rants about being a "ManGirl" and D.F. Magee talks about "Being A Boy" ... even though she isn't.

Editor Tina Armstrong compiles stories, essays, letters, and art work about gender, attraction, and misogyny. The first half of the zine, labelled "masculine," contains a "clueless man's field guide to the modern woman" and topics like genital mutilation are discussed. The middle of the zine is the androgyny section in which Elle Dedoglou writes about being a mangirl, which is defined as "the embodiment of a non-traditional gender role," there is an essay about the empowerment of wearing a strap-on, and an interview with Sylvia O'Stayformore. In the second half of the zine labelled "feminine," contributors list their ideas of femininity, a woman writes a letter to her male friend's girlfriends, and Rachel Pybon writes about growing up in Egypt and the culture of camaraderie among women. Among the contributors are Clementine Cannibal and Vikki Law.
Notes: Cover title.

"Our first cut and paste zine! Half the zine is devoted to the feminine, half to the masculine, with gender neutral/genderqueeer/andrognyny taking up the middle pages. This is the zine that won Weekly Volcano's Best of Tacoma award! "--Http://thefbombzine.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2248848.
