In my wanderings around the old e-web, as my mother calls it, I stumbled across a pretty fly site called www.mookychick.co.uk (this means it’s from the UK or, as my mother calls it, the United Kingdom). Titled, “the online indie bible for babes with attitude,” Mooky Chick loves you and loves beer too. Another girl wave feminist magazine in the long line of Bust-esque crop-ups (which, if you’ll excuse the history lesson, comes out of the wake of the grandmother of all feminist magazines, “Ms.” ), Mooky Girl separates itself by its friendly, funny voice and upbeat tone. Whether or not you agree with the politics surrounding this type of neo-feminism or Laddette Culture, as Jennifer Saunders calls it, I think we all have to agree that we reap the benefits of its emphasis on d.i.y. and crafts. To see what I mean, check out the “How-To” and “DIY Crafts” sections of Mooky Chick and view some of their cutesy, funky projects, like the button bracelet pictured below. Also, I love their interview with the creators of Punk Rock Aerobics and I have to admit, any one who calls Tank Girl their Icon of the Week, is alright in my book.
