big boots
violence (Only 1 Left!)
dis/placement (Only 1 Left!)

The big boots Collective
All $1.50 / Quarter-size / Toronto, Ontario

"big boots is a zine about resistance on paper, about the power of silent words and art to inspire change, about women of colour reclaiming their voices and telling their own stories. It is about experiences of oppression, identity struggles, and disillusionment. But it is also about creation, survival, decolonisation and dreams."


big boots #6: battlefields
The big boots Collective
$1.50 / 26 pages / Quarter-size / Toronto, Ontario


Only 3 Left! This issue is by far the best yet. The big boots women devote this issue to experiences of war. “As women of colour,” writes co-editor sheila sampath, “we experience war differently, our voices are muffled and our resistance is beaten to the ground.” This issue highlights not only the experiences of women of colour, but also the different experiences of different women of colour. souvankham thammavongsa writes about the earliest years of her life, which she spent in a refugee camp at the border between Laos and Thailand. Nour Schoueri writes about hiding in her basement with her family during a bombing of Beruit, Leabanon at the age of 7. These are just a few of the personal and first hand accounts contained in the issue. There are also statements of global univty and ways to resist war, both past and future.

Drown Soda #1
Sara Jane and the Drown Soda Crew
$2 / Half-size / Toronto, Ontario


Available! Of course we carry my own zine, Drown Soda. Stories about crazy cats, insane cartoons, general ramblings and lots of fun! Oh, and more reviews than you can shake a stick at!

Drown Soda #5 1/2
Sara Jane
$2 / Half-size / Toronto, Ontario


Available! This issue of DS includes a lot of personal reflection, with letters to my parents and an open letter about the death of my best friend. Theres a statement about 'war' and letters to Broken Pencil by Una Crow and myself. However, there is also a lot of positive stuff, like Medieval lesbians, sex, boobs, crazy boys and the greatest mullet picture EVER. It's worth it just for the picture.

Escaping Suburbia #1(only 1 left!)
Escaping Suburbia #3: Remembering Jordan (only 1 left!)
Jen
$1 / 48 pgs / Quarter-size / Welland, Ontario


"I haven't really escaped Suburbia this time. I'm still here, physically anyways. But mentally I've been violently ripped from it, and am only now starting to recover. This is no liberating vacation, or wacky adventure. This is a journey of the mind. The kind of journey the mind dosen't really like to take. Everybody's got a story that'll break your heart. I though mine was already told but this one tops the charts." (from the intro).
This issue of ES is done in memory of Jordan, one of Jen's very good friends who died recently. It is very touching and a great dialogue about losing friends of your youth. I really recommend this one.



Family Hairloom
Meesh 'Stache
$1 / 24 pgs / Half-size / Toronto, Ontario


Only 3 Left! Family Hairloom is a zine about gender lines and the politics of facial and body hair. Meesh always had facial hair, and through the changes in her life, she struggled with it and what it meant to her personal concept of gender. What the zine ends up being is a statement of love for all the hairs on her 'chinny chin chin'. Nice.


The Fence: A New Place of Power for Bisexual Women #1
Cheryl Dobinson
$1 / 28 pgs / Half-size fullscap / Toronto, Ontario


Only 1 Left! "Q: Why is it a good idea to have a bi women's zine? A: Cause biphobia, especially from lesbians, made it hard for me to see bisexuality as an option, and bi women are definitely not adequately represented in queer or straight culture. A: To educate and inform, entertain and provoke, to share our experiences and options."
Chock full of stuff, this zine is cheap at a buck, and so, so worth it. Stories, poems, explorations and collage art fill it up to brimming.


The Fence: A New Place of Power for Bisexual Women #2
Cheryl Dobinson
$1 / 32pgs / Half-size fullscap / Toronto, Ontario


Only 3 Left! The Fence is a zine fuelled by many contributors, and the diversity in writing is amazing. Reflections on being bisexual and the pressure from both gay and strait culture to ‘choose’, identity mapping within the term of bisexual, challenging the exclusion of bi-women in advertising, poems, comix, internet resources and statements of pride. The Fence’s stand becomes clearer in each and every issue.
