Sage writes, " I took care of my lovely neighbor during the last two months of her life. She was battling stage four ovarian cancer and recommended to go to a hospice facility, something she did not want to do. This zine is about our brief, but memorable friendship, my drive to help her die on her own terms, and the ugliness of cancer."
Amy knew it was coming, too. She was in constant pain. She talked about death and I listened. I couldn't imagine life without Amy. I was spending roughly 20-25 hours each week with her. She had become a major part of my life. I planned my days around her needs.
BONUS: The zine comes with a pack of marigold seeds that I harvested from my garden over the summer. Amy was a florist, so it seemed fitting to share her passion with you all.

Kelli details her challenging pregnancy and the birth of her son, Saki. Like her previous issue of "That Girl", Kelli documents this experience in a text heavy format. While things didn't go as planned, Kelli managed to keep going with the flow, her humor fully intact. She faced the risk of miscarrying at four weeks, dealt with an odd doctor, was sentenced to bed rest, and dumped by a midwife .I appreciate her raw honesty, the unglamorous moments of pregnancy, and her perseverance throughout each challenge.
My husband and I went home after the 65 day hospital stay. We left our son behind, as his little lungs weren't quite developed enough, so he had to stay in the NICU for a few more weeks. Postpartum hit me hard for exactly 24 hours.

Stories of a Rose City Stripper
by Rocket
$4.00
24 pages/Half size
From the intro, " ...composed of journals she's kept over her years of dancing and the notes scribbled on cocktail napkins. The short stories contained in this first zine are awkward, bizarre, sexy and honest .."
This zine has a slick layout and great imagery. Rocket shares how she became a stripper in Portland, from the first frightening, yet enthralling night on stage, to becoming a confident dancer. She includes short stories about other dancers, how they interacted with one another, and some experiences with clients. I enjoyed the frank writing and was easily transplanted into her colorful world through her writing. Looking forward to the next issue!
Princess was a braggart. On top of brazenly talking money, she'd let it pile up haphazardly on her makeup case like a paper trophy. When she got around to counting it, she'd display it neatly out in the open in our customary rubber-banded stacks of twenty. I secretly hoped that one of our more desperate dancers would steal it.
