Hello Amber!

I write a feminist perzine called Culture Slut and a comp zine called Fight Boredom, which is pretty much about small town love, and, uh, fighting boredom.

I'm into Polaroids, feminism, thrift stores, tattoos, adventures, mixtapes, to-do lists, cut and paste, days when I get stuff in the mail, pop culture criticism, vegetarianism, chocolate soy milk, porch sittin', PostSecret, angry women, baking, dance parties, sewing and getting crafty, behaving like a child, recycling, twins, typewriters, tea, eccentricity, road trips and the like.

You can buy my zines from helloamber.etsy.com or contact me through WMZ. When I'm not making zines, I'm writing about 'em here: www.hello-amber.blogspot.com.

fight boredom in toronto this weekend!

I'm getting really excited about this upcoming weekend. I'll be taking the Megabus from Montreal to Toronto this Thursday (holy cheap tickets!) and meeting up with my lovely friend Lindsay from Lindsay for some drinks and good old-fashioned girl-talk. I'm spending the next day with Jennifer Hall, my favourite cotton-candy-haired friend, then attending a Samhain celebration in style - as Pippi Longstocking. On Saturday afternoon I'll be participating in a zine reading alongside Alex Wrekk and som… Continue

two new issues of culture slut!

Culture Slut #19 I guess I would call this something of a "coming out" issue. I write a lot about being queer and how this affects my romantic relationships with dudes, as well as my frustration with the constant assumption that I’m straight. ‘Coz, you know, I’m not. I’ve also included some reviews of excellent queer zines for further reading. Please note, I've written a little bit about abuse, so please keep that in mind and read this zine in a safe space.
Quarter-size, 26 pages, blacContinue

hey amber! i jsut got your two extra trades and letter in the mail today. i really appreciate you sending them and am planning on writing you back along with the next issue of you've got a friend..., whenever it gets finished.
they are not the first zines i have done. i put out one issue of a fanzine by myself (don't have any copies of it) and contributed to a few since about 2005. but they hoax & ygafip are the first ones that have been serious and feminist, if that makes any sense!
