Bri Zine The Scene Queen Machine

A bit about myself and my zines...

I write a perzine called Motor City Kitty. Issues #8-12 are currently available. Information on issues of my zine can be found at www.myspace.com/motorcitykitty. Issues 11 and 12 can be purchased from learning to leave a paper trail, gimme brains!!! distro, or marching stars distro.

As for me, I'm a 23 year old feminist, undergrad, musician, DJ and sometimes poet who loves eyeliner, dancing, riot grrrl, reading, riding my bike, my cat (Jango Wiggles Scuzzbaby), getting mail and having good times with good people. I've been making and reading zines for nearly ten years now and hope I never stop.

summer is over.

it's the first of october. fall has barely begun, but already it feels like winter.

i made a 24 hour zine in july. my new roommate and i worked on the challenge together, taking breaks to get dinner, go to a wet boxer party (we missed the actual wet boxers), and sit by the river and talk. i've only given out maybe MAYBE ten copies of that zine. it might even be less. i'm still not sure how i feel about it.

i've started writing a lot for a new issue, though, and am hoping i can get something do… Continue

its been awhile...again

the other day i finally got off my ass and mailed out eighteen packages of zines to awaiting traders/orderers (including folks from the mini zine swap here on we make zines) as well as just some friends, all of the motor city kitty club members, and a few distros. its taken so long due to being snowed in for about two weeks in january, broke til february, then totally busy due to djing twice a week, school, two jobs and a social life. and maybe a tiny bit of procrastination. i'd gotten some nast… Continue

motor city kitty #12

i just finished a new issue of my zine, "motor city kitty" tonight! i know that seems really close to the release of #11, but that one was half-done in july, the second half in october and i just now printed it. though i finished #12 tonight, it probably won't get printed until mid-january due to my current financial status (unless i figure out the copy trick on campus!)

those participating in the mini zine folks swap will receive the first copies, as i made it for the swap. and those who have… Continue

its been so long

it took me about a month after completing motor city kitty #11 to finally go make copies of it. things have just been so busy. i don't know why i get so ambitious about zines when i know i'm not always gonna have the time to devote to them (probably because zines are true love.)

i know i owe some people trades, or zines for subscribers. here's the list of people i know i owe zines to. if you're not on it but believe you should be, let me know. sometimes i lose track of envelopes and letters and… Continue

Hey Bri, can I trade you the new Cuddle Date and zine love letters for MCK 9 and 10? If so I need your new address... the one in #12 says its no longer any good...

Sorry for the late reply, been a little busy too lately. Good to hear you're well! Ooh, a good kind of busy, I like that too. I'm not sure what kind of busy I'm in at the moment...maybe half good/half bad. Schoolwork mostly, but some zining too!
Ooh, well, I have been looking through my art journals lately, trying to find something for you.. I'll make a collection on photobucket, and then send you the link hopefully later today/tomorrow?
Hey, would you be up for a zine trade? Then if you like any pictures from my zines, feel free to pinch!

Aw, great! I'm good, thank you, and how are you?
Ah ok, well, it's still a really cool intro! My zines are completly light-hearted at the moment, I'm kinda waiting to see if they get darker.
Aww, thank you! And yes! I would love to submit something to your zine. Anything in particular you would like? I can send you more of my artwork if you like via email, or just mail you some of my zines, if interested.
i really like your drawings/art in your zines, or what you have pictured. would you ever consider submitting some to my zine?

Well its gonna be a real basics class, get people excited about the medium. I want to get as many diverse zines as possible and especially from women zinesters, since its a part of Girlfest. Anything you'd like to send would be awesome.

I'm gonna be comoderating a zine workshop for Girlfest Hawaii in November and was wondering if you'd like to send anything off for educational samples at the workshop?

Why hello! (Hope you don't mind the add.)
I think I added you just based on your little intro from your perzine. I'm a riot grrl fan too, and prefer the fun, small things sometimes. Cool that you still buy colouring-in books!

Your zine was waiting for me in my PO Box just now when I checked it. Thank you! I read a lot of it standing in the post office, and I can relate to so much of it. I want to send you a real letter about my thoughts and feelings. I hope I can do that soon.

In short, I appreciate your honesty. Your words certainly have me thinking about my choices.
