Meet Our New Music Editor

Ladies and Lads,

I am so excited to announce that Vagina officially has a new Music Editor! Her name is Sarah Herndon and we are completely enamored of her. She’s an Austin gal who works at an independent TV station, idolizes Dolly Parton, wears fun vests, and is a fan of blueberry cake donuts. So basically, she’s a total babe!

She’ll be handling the music section of our zine and website, scouting talent to write pieces on, helping book bands for our parties, and sharing her love of music with you all. We are absolutely ecstatic to have her on board. Here’s a little message from her to you all:

Hey y’all! I am super pumped to be your new music editor! I have admired the Vagina ladies for a long while and can’t wait to be a part of it all. One of my favorite things to talk about is music and now I have a whole dang audience. YES!

You can reach her at Sarah@TheVaginaZine.com with your questions, comments, stories, and jokes!

Sincerely,

Hillary-Anne Crosby

Vagina Editor-In-Chief


Celebrating + Thanks-Giving

Ladies and Lads and Lovers,

It’s been quite a crazy past few days, hasn’t it? Last week we printed the Fall 2012 issue full of our favourite submissions, on Saturday we threw a party at Austin’s Domy Books with Jess Williamson and Sara Houser to celebrate said issue (it’s our sixth! wow!), and last night we celebrated the election of a president who supports women, an awe-inspiring Elizabeth Warren, America’s first openly gay U.S. Senator (Tammy Baldwin!), and more ladies in the U.S. Senate than ever before. So, yes, I think you’ll agree with me when I say that I think we all deserve a gosh darn good pat on the back for the past week!

Vagina’s new issue is now available for purchase from our Etsy shop and we sure hope you’ll snag a copy! Titles include My Life As A Chick Magnet, OBGYNeighbor, What the F*#$ is a BB Cream?, Just Say No: The Consequences of Abstinence-Only Education, Currently Spinning on Jillian’s Record Player, and plenty others! In one piece I rave about masturbation, in another Jillian urges you to eat your beets, and a particularly funny comic accurately portrays the sudden on-set of seasonal allergies. I just love it all— all the poetry, the illustrations, the commentary, the rants, the raves, the humor! I’m so proud of our freelancers for sharing their work with strangers around the world and I’m proud of my editors for putting up with a micro-manager me while we put this all together for y’all. 

Thanks for making Vagina possible, for helping us give gals a place to share their gifts with others, and for electing leaders who want to see women getting what we deserve. Just thank you for everything, always.


Sincerely,

Hillary-Anne

Vagina Editor-In-Chief

Dear Friends,

I have a few sex related requests that I need you to fulfill. Namely, I want to see what you have to say about sex – the good and the bad. Have you had a great experience you would like to write about? Do you have an opinion about birth control or sex education in public schools? Do you have any advice for a great bedroom playlist? Would you like to write a review or critique about a sex toy or a certain porn producer? Do you prefer silly or serious sex? There are so many important topics related to sex and Vagina would love to publish your unique views and creative work about the subject. If you do not feel comfortable writing something publically, you can choose to remain anonymous. To be considered for publication in our Fall print issue of Vagina, Send your work by October 19 to Basia (at) TheVaginaZine.com.

Stay turned-on!
