Now, it feels like we can't move without a new Mormon influencer - from Nara Smith to MomTok - taking over our feeds. This week, hosts Ione and Gina explore what Mormonism actually is, how the new wave of Mormon influencers have changed how the Latter Day Saints are perceived and whether or not reality telly can truly sugar coat the toxic problems within the religion. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/clavicular monthly 0.5 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/013a83f3-8e33-45b4-b76a-548117123587/Clav.jpg Podcast - How Looksmaxxing, Clavicular, And Alt-Right Masculinity Went Mainstream Before 21 year old looksmaxxer streamer Clavicular walked the Elena Valez runway at NYFW, his brand of hyper misogynist masculinity was confined to teenage boys in their bedrooms and the terminally online taking the piss out of him. But after making his fashion debut, Clavicular has garnered attention from nearly every mainstream mag imaginable. With other designers sending ‘looksmaxxing’ T-shirts down the runway, has inceldom found a mainstream home? In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina unpack Clavicular's lore, from bone smashing to extreme racism, dissect the fashion world's continuing flirtation with the alt right and ask whether or not deplatforming really works for gen z influencers? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/the-moment-premiere monthly 0.5 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/accb5ccc-7268-474e-8227-ed7912da78e0/brat.png Podcast - Bonus Ep: We Went To The Moment Premiere Hey Pod Princesses. Last week, our hosts Ione and Gina were invited to the London premiere of Charli XCX and Aidan Zamiri’s new film ’The Moment’.

Is it a faithful adaptation of Wuthering Heights? No. Is it an amazing film in its own right regardless? Also no. Do the sets and costumes make up for bad casting and crap script? Unfortunately, this time, I'm afraid it's a no. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina get to grip with a movie made to try and cause controvery, and answer the question of whether it actually manages to achieve, well anything. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/beta-blockers monthly 0.5 2026-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7a15cee-95e3-44f2-a7b1-715809fc4b32/Screenshot+2026-02-16+at+10.28.39.png Podcast - The Girlification of Beta Blockers “TAKE THAT BETA BLOCKER, GIRL!" exclaims Rachel Sennott on your iPhone from the Oscars red carpet.

Giggly Squad sell you a baseball cap with 'Beta Blockers' emblazoned across it. This week, hosts Ione and GIna dig into the normalisation of the blood pressure medication for treating anxiety. Is celebs talking about anxiety a net positive? Should we be making more of a fuss about the ease we can dupe online pharmacies? Is Big Pharma using meme culture to exploit us all? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/grok-nudification-ndrjb-gsef9-pg563 monthly 0.5 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/989d91f6-29e9-4e27-93c8-c48202b8aa7c/Screenshot+2026-02-09+at+10.23.02.png Podcast - Nicki Minaj is MAGA, ICE out, and can celebrity activism be successful?&nbsp; As we've come to expect with a political crisis, celebrities have no idea how to act - Do you post to story even if you get labelled performative a la Billie Eilish? Do you prepare a speech in case you're stopped on the red carpet wearing an ICE OUT pin, so you're not caught out like Jack Antonoff? Do you align yourself with the worst people in the world, as Nicki Minaj as opted for in the past couple of months? This week, hosts Ione and Gina delve into the ICE in Minneapolis, how AI is playing a factor and the different ways that celebs getting involved - to varying degrees of success and authenticity. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/2016 monthly 0.5 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c6f2873-8c03-46b5-9802-4f49edf05acf/CLOWNS.png Podcast - Bonus Ep: Why do we want it to be 2016 again? As January began, calendars around the world flipped to 2026 - but on the internet, they flipped back to 2016. Photo dumps with puppy filters, thick contour, and moustache apparel flooded social media - leaving us to ask the question - why do we want it to be 2016 again? In this week’s episode, hosts Ione and Gina dive back into 2016 - by our estimations either the last good year or the first bad year, depending on your perspective.

In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with the implicated misogyny of everyone’s response, the particular Britishness of this scandal and why, for once, this is gossip we can engage with guilt free. Please note we recorded this episode on Wednesday, 21st January at 4pm GMT - if any new goss has unfurled, we have not addressed it in this ep. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/grok-nudification-ndrjb monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6e79c96f-dd66-4815-8500-bbcbab8e93c1/Screenshot+2026-01-19+at+10.45.36.png Podcast - Is My Life Too Easy? What Is Frictionmaxxing? And Should We All Be Doing It? Would you like an app that analyses your Google calendar and plans your day for you? Have you tried ChatGPT for meal planning? What about this ring that tracks your sleep habits and creates a routine that will mean you get to sleep even faster than before? We're suffering a convenience endemic, where the tech and AI solutions to being uncomfortable are breeding new, depressing ways to avoid the realities - and even the fun! - of life. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with frictionmaxxing: The new term encouraging us to add discomfort, time and human interaction to our everyday experiences. The pair discuss how class and disability play into this trend, why our joie de vivre is being robbed from us by capitalism and how we should make more efforts to dilly and dally in our day to day. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/grok-nudification monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f52b844-c573-4de0-94f8-5ebcd122ced7/Screenshot+2026-01-12+at+10.29.15.png Podcast - Why Are Men Using Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot to Undress Women Without Their Consent? The Latest In AI's Abuse Of Women A dark new issue has arisen on the platform formerly known as Twitter (a likely place for it to happen) where users are asking X's inbuilt AI bot, Grok, for indecent and sexualised images of women and children. While, as discussed in the ep, nudeification isn't exactly a new problematic facet of life online, it's only in the last month that the act has become a "trend" - for lack of a better word. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina delve into the specifics of what is happening, the continuing issues we're facing with AI and the lack of control any government or governing body has over internet abuse. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/groypers-dasha-nick-jxznk-hhhpd-4z5y8 monthly 0.5 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5811c9cf-7e2d-49ee-b7f9-7640d1a90702/WhatsApp+Image+2026-01-05+at+10.21.39+%281%29.jpeg Podcast - The Only 2026 Ins And Outs List You Need Happy new year girlies! As is tradition in this joint (and across the internet at large), our hosts are giving their hot or not predictions for the upcoming twelve months. In this week's episode, Ione and Gina discuss the possible return of woke, whether Substack is over, Timothée Chalamet’s chances of winning the Oscar, whether we’ll finally see the death of on the street voxpop TikToks, and much more. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/groypers-dasha-nick-jxznk-hhhpd monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48e62cad-5af1-428b-9813-24693e63485c/Picture+4.png Podcast - Mar-A-Lago Face And The Grotesque Beauty Of The MAGA Women Vanity Fair has gone and done it, they've revealed the true grotesqueness of the Trump administration with high res, close up photos of the White House staff. Or is it really all that surprising, when we've been chatting about Republican makeup and Mar-A-Lago face for months? This week, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with the reasons behind why MAGA women are investing so heavily in this particular beauty look, with all signs posting to power dynamics, a desire to shock and obscene displays of wealth. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/groypers-dasha-nick-jxznk-5nsnk monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/347d30d7-a073-4054-bd1e-7d7280b6f955/Screenshot+2025-12-08+at+09.39.54.png Podcast - The Club Chalamet Deep Dive It's been a bumper week for the Timothee Chalamet stans - Marty Supreme is getting hit reviews, his hair is starting to grow back and the very controversial key holder of the kingdom has done her first ever media feature. That's right, Club Chalamet just got profiled by the Wall Street Journal. This week, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with the reaction surrounding the feature, Club Chalamet's fraught political and internet history, and what her disproportionate impact tells us about fandom and fan culture today. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/groypers-dasha-nick-jxznk monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ad77436c-c223-44f0-864b-0f70bbbc45dc/Screenshot+2025-12-01+at+10.40.52.png Podcast - Good For Nothing? Why We’ve All Had Enough Of Wicked As we're all subjected to another Wicked press tour for the second instalment of the blockbuster, the question on everyone's lips is whether the Wicked press tour ever stopped in the first place? Greeted with another series of emotional interviews, reaction tweets and harrowing body discourse, it felt urgent to dissect what precisely is dampening the furore this time around. This week, hosts (and Wicked haters) Ione and Gina take their magnifying class to the discourse surrounding Wicked: For Good. Have we all become desensitised to memeing eating disorders, is the palpable fatigue from the stars getting in the way of our enjoyment or does it just boil down to the fact that the film itself just isn't very, well, good? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/groypers-dasha-nick monthly 0.5 2025-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5aee941e-7f71-45c6-9607-f79b032d1ae4/Screenshot+2025-11-24+at+10.09.21.png Podcast - Who Is Nick Fuentes? What is a Groyper? And How Is Red Scare’s Dasha Nekrasova Involved? Nick Fuentes has spent five years building not only a name for himself but an army of his own to fight in what the far right incel community has dubbed the groyper war. The live streamer uses his platform, America First, to push for an ultra conservative agenda not just among his peers but with actual political figures too. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina track the impact of Fuentes and the groypers on the Trump administration, the faux deplatforming of alt right darlings like Red Scare's Dasha Nekrasova and why we need to rally against the widening of the Overton window. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/boyfriend-embarrassing monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/909cbea9-cc56-4f8b-b676-b6c664f48cba/Picture+5.png Podcast - Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? Dissecting The Essay That Set The Internet Ablaze The internet, left and right leaning, has been set ablaze by a ragebait headline and a deep dive into our dating practices or rather, our online posting of our burgeoning and established relationships. The British Vogue article, titled 'Is It Embarrassing To Have A Boyfriend' feels like harkening back to an earlier time on the internet, when one op-ed could get everyone talking about one topic and in this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina take their lens to the comms on courtship. Do we want our favourite influencers to remain perpetually single? Are we once bitten, twice shy about men after the scary stories we hear about dating online? And is any of this influenced by the rise of nuclear family and trad wife rhetoric shared repeatedly by the alt right? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/west-end-girl monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/548350ff-ee43-4fc9-a1d1-b0b00bb8e67b/Screenshot+2025-11-03+at+10.24.42.png Podcast - Let’s Talk About Lily Allen's New Album, West End Girl West End Girl has taken the internet by storm as Lily Allen returns to the charts with a new confessional album dissecting the relationship breakdown between her and ex husband David Harbour. From the extremely detailed lyrics to the, well, even more extremely detailed lyrics, fans are thrilled to get fully behind the curtain of everything that's gone wrong in Allen’s marriage. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina dig into the album, asking whether encouraging parasocial relationships is a marketing ploy, how influencer culture has changed the landscape of songwriting and why more cynicism is required when listening to pop music. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/cute-debt monthly 0.5 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/12bca88c-e007-4233-9089-a6fe7ddcd96e/Picture+2.png Podcast - Cute Debt - Is Klarna Killing Our Self Esteem? Would you rather one payment of $150 or three monthly payments of $50? Is this pizza basically free if I pay $4 for a few months rather than twelve bucks at once? As the famously moral financial institution CashApp once said, “Little payments are so much cuter.” In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina look at the rise of "cute debt" - the monicker given to Buy Now, Pay Later schemes that pointedly target young women - discussing how the dangers of debt have been replaced by the glamorisation of Klarnamaxxing, whether we should trust these brands to budget for us and why shopping addictions aren't treated sincerely in society. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/pubic-wigs monthly 0.5 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83f95c76-e435-4fb7-9f82-2205587f6b6f/Screenshot+2025-10-20+at+10.14.21.png Podcast - Why Kim Kardashian’s Pubic Wigs Are So Depressing 2025 has been the year of the pube, from bushtok going viral for promoting an overgrown mon pubis to the sold out SKIMS merkins that Kim Kardashian launched last week, we can't stop talking about our intimate hair - or lackthereof. While some point to the Margiela couture show last year that promoted fake pubic freedom for the rise in intimate hair's popularity in the zeitgeist, this week's episode looks at the wider implications that the Kardashian pube thong represents. Tackling the fashion week shows that limited body types and compromised movement for models alongside the lingerie launch, hosts Ione and Gina ask whether there's been a worse time for feminism in fashion. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/life-of-a-showgirl monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce3fae11-6e72-4da9-b73e-c7a5651522d1/Screenshot+2025-10-13+at+11.52.40.png Podcast - On Taylor Swift's Biggest Flop To Date: ‘The Life Of a Showgirl’ Dissected The reception to Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album has been markedly different than historic fan reactions; as Swifties and Swift haters unite to deliver the best meme about how bad the new music is. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina dissect the poorly received Charli xcx diss track, why the album’s lyricism has fallen flat, and whether just how rubbish The Life Of a Showgirl is indicates how an ardently capitalist point of view rots the joy out of good pop music. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/jk-rowling-emma-watson monthly 0.5 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/70254a90-4fd8-4b55-b531-b240d17f2c03/Screenshot+2025-10-13+at+11.47.47.png Podcast - Is Harry Potter Worth Human Rights Violations? The Emma Watson Vs. JK Rowling Debacle Dissected It doesn't take much to goad JK Rowling into a Twitter tirade these days (allegedly.) A fake news story about bra buying in Markses? Up for days raving about it? A former colleague gives a milquetoast response about differing opinions and expresses love towards her? Time to take advantage of the X Premium perk of no word count limit. Pronouns in bio? Great opportunity to go berserk. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with the ongoing dissonance between actors signing up for Harry Potter related roles and their supposed ethical standards, whether or not we should want previous Potter stars to stand up in the press against Rowling's views and if we should promote the 'accepting differences and loving each other' rhetoric in such a politically dangerous time https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/jimmy-kimmel-martyr monthly 0.5 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46e017dd-8db1-4d6e-989e-27e5a31e590a/Screenshot+2025-09-29+at+10.09.01.png Podcast - Is Jimmy Kimmel A Martyr For Fascist America? It's been an absolutely mental month for the US media and one face has emerged as the hero of free speech for the Left, a person none of us saw coming to the pulpit to expunge us of our sins: Jimmy Kimmel. The late night host was promptly reprimanded by being taken off the air after making light of Trump's lack of visible grief over the murder of Charlie Kirk, only to be quickly reinstated after mass boycotts across America following the firing. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina dig into the late stage capitalism that has monopolised media outlets in America, how conspiracy conversations are clouding our judgement and whether comparisons of the current Republican party to previous fascist regimes are eye opening or distracting. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/doomed-to-ai-boyfriends monthly 0.5 2025-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d054f54b-eac4-4336-a434-280c13f6f08f/WhatsApp+Image+2025-09-22+at+10.44.11.jpeg Podcast - Are We All Doomed To Have AI Boyfriends? If over half of gen z have interacted with an AI companion and dating apps are rolling out bots to date on your behalf - where is the line drawn between real love and falling for a fantasy? In this week's episode, Ione and Gina dig into the growing romantic relationships people are having with Replika, how AI companies are ignoring queerness, whether or not bot love is legitimate and why everyone is ignoring the ecological impact of AI chat bots. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/is-woke-cool-again monthly 0.5 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/309558bb-6433-47f7-8bb8-18e2b15d5c3b/Screenshot+2025-09-15+at+11.11.10.png Podcast - Is Woke Cool Again? Why The Dirtbag Left Are Pivoting Another day, another Cumtown alumni going viral for doing something politically sound - from Adam Friedland's interview with Ritchie Torres to Stavros Halkias challenging his podcast guest on transphobic rhetoric, the former courters of controversy have apparently done a complete u turn on their previous edgelord output. This week, hosts Ione and Gina take a look at what's made the most famous male members of the dirtbag left change their tune on social justice, whether 'dark woke' is working in terms of making the left cool again and whether the overton window for acceptability in politics is shrinking https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/weve-had-enough-of-the-performative-male monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5aa1878-ba65-4d98-89c7-ea1c48f569de/Screenshot+2025-09-08+at+10.50.11.png Podcast - We’ve Had Enough of The Performative Male - Make it stand out The newest evolution of softboi has just landed with the most on the nose name yet - the performative male. He reads Sylvia Plath outside indie coffee shops as he sips matcha. He has a Labubu and his Labubu has a cute nickname. He is a little bit Letterboxd famous and he calls his mother once a week. He's also the worst man you have ever dated in your life. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with whether this new archetypal male is anything new, or if men have always manipulated what women want to get laid. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/taylor-swifts-engagement-toxic-fandom-and-the-death-of-the-critic monthly 0.5 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eea5cdbd-644e-444d-bfd2-31dbd6d716e3/Screenshot+2025-09-01+at+11.01.49.png Podcast - Taylor Swift’s Engagement, Toxic Fandom, And The Death Of The Critic - Make it stand out It's been a bumper month for Taylor Swift - when is it not? - as she made her first ever podcast appearance, announced a new album and got engaged all within the space of a fortnight.

This week, Ione and Gina dive into who benefits from the enshittification of the internet, why bots have taken over the comment section and how the bleakness of our feeds mirror the state of wider culture. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/from-the-tea-app-to-princess-treatment-how-the-right-wing-agenda-is-poisoning-the-dating-pool monthly 0.5 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f11848f-75ec-44e7-bc12-21b691896276/IMG_3314.jpg Podcast - From The Tea App To Princess Treatment: How The Right Wing Agenda Is Poisoning The Dating Pool - Make it stand out Should you quiz your man on if he's doing princess treatment or the bare minimum? Are you allowed to look waiters in the eye or would that ruin you and your husband's night? Have you tried to check if your Hinge date is a creep and ended up getting doxxed by 4chan? If you're single and looking to mingle, these extreme situations - or, extreme online recommendations of how to act - are getting more and more commonplace. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/are-sydney-sweeneys-jeans-the-harbinger-of-doom monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbd837d7-3397-4df9-863d-1b51ea7df857/IMG_0628.jpg Podcast - Are Sydney Sweeney's Jeans The Harbinger Of Doom? - Make it stand out It's been over a year since we last spoke about Sydney Sweeney and how many online and off see the Euphoria actress as a MAGA spokeswoman. Her latest scandal - an American Eagle advert celebrating the blonde's "great genes" - cements Sweeney's spot as the right's poster child. In this week's episode, recorded before that expose revealing Sweeney is a registered Republican - hosts Ione and Gina dig into how fast speed advertising has changed the role of celebrity, why brands are being more blunt about appealing to Trump fans and why we should be more comfortable in calling a spade a spade (or calling a eugenicist a eugenicist). https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/is-it-the-gen-z-stare-or-have-young-people-always-been-called-rude monthly 0.5 2025-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e7bbb17-49da-439e-9bb0-c055d3e9b1fc/Screenshot+2025-07-28+at+10.34.33.png Podcast - Is It 'The Gen Z Stare' Or Have Young People Always Been Called Rude? - Make it stand out Just as the internet once spent years ripping into the minutiae of what made up Millennial sociological habits and expression, now the younger generation is feeling the flack as social media takes the mickey out of 'the Gen Z stare'. The look itself is comprised of staring blankly when presented with a query, especially when in a work environment. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina ask whether young people have always been seen as rude or whether Gen Z have a particularly obvious feeling of apathy due to the lingering effects of COVID, the climate crisis and an inability to connect with one another. Are we on the brink of Gen Z being the main focus of online mockery or is it genuinely shocking that they don't say 'hello' upon answering a phone call? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/our-verdict-on-lena-dunhams-too-much-are-we-so-back-or-is-the-rom-com-not-good-enough monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e25d9564-c277-470b-95f0-a2ec9b8b2b18/IMG_2208.jpg Podcast - Our Verdict on Lena Dunham’s Too Much: Are We So Back Or Is The Rom Com Not Good Enough? We're back from our (unplanned, sorry!!) break with a big one. Lena Dunham has returned to television with a Netflix series that many online are claiming to be as good as - or even better than - Girls, the much lauded HBO show that launched her career. Conversely, critics are writing scathing reviews for broadsheets about the portrayal of romance, women and London in the show. But which is it? And are our hosts impressed with the Megan Stalter fronted romcom? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/the-summer-of-crashing-out-justin-bieber-corys-world-and-tattle-life monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c99cd469-2159-402c-bb84-4a4e4a5cdb29/45b778ab-df4f-4e0f-a366-9003a52e4c47.JPG Podcast - The Summer Of Crashing Out: Justin Bieber, Cory's World And Tattle Life - Make it stand out “Ding dong the witch is dead” - in a Scooby Doo worthy unveiling, the 'Helen McDougal' that began infamous British influencer gossip forum has been unmasked as vegan influencer Sebastian Bond. In the aftermath, TikTokers like Cory's World are cashing in on the moment to detail exactly how hate on platforms like these and trolls across the board has affected their mental health. Following a similar through thread of crashing out, Justin Bieber is going viral almost daily for his Instagram antics, scraps with paparazzi and alleged ill feelings towards wife Hailey. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/labubu-lafufu-latime-has-come-to-stop-this-nonsense monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2bf2171c-482a-49a4-9bd6-220ae44abf1f/IMG_1355.jpg Podcast - Labubu? Lafufu? LaTime Has Come To Stop This Nonsense We're addressing the elephant kids’ toy in the room - the Labubu craze. You've definitely seen these monsters everywhere from exclusive brand collabs to Gemma Collins' Instagram reels to hanging off handbags while you wait in line at the cocktail bar. But where did they come from? And why is everyone going absolutely mad for the Pop Mart blind box item? This week, our hosts Ione and Gina go head to head about the validity of Labubu collecting, the Lafufu fakes populating the market and why nobody is seeing the proliferation of this plush for what it is - just another trend in a long legacy of popular toy collecting. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/yes-were-talking-about-sabrina-carpenters-album-cover monthly 0.5 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/166e7f08-7777-4dfa-b650-3572f24e4fb0/Screenshot+2025-06-16+at+11.23.15.png Podcast - Yes, We’re Talking About Sabrina Carpenter’s Album Cover Freeze! The Polyester Podcast had a whole episode planned for our lovely listeners until Sabrina Carpenter delivered us feminist discourse on a silver platter, or rather, on a silver dog leash.

The 4B movement is a South Korean fringe feminist movement operating on four principles - Bihon (no to heterosexual marriage), Bichulsan (no to childbirth), Biyeonae (no to dating), and Bisekseu (no to heterosexual sexual relationships) - the aim being to remove women from patriarchal lifestyles. After the announcement of Trump's win in the American election on the 5th November, women in the States have been making the 4B movement trend across Twitter and TikTok as they consider this kind of lifestyle as an act of protest to the election result. In this week's episode, Ione and Gina dissect the ethics of the use of the practice by Western feminists, the extreme reactions of alt right men across social media to the Trump win as well as the under discussed gen z Republican women who voted this year. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/sabrina-carpenter-c7bgb monthly 0.5 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/74882af1-d08a-4278-88e3-d5e01890a2a8/IMG_3787.jpg Podcast - Is Online Superiority &amp; The Irony Epidemic Rotting Our Brains?

Simultaneously on SWERF twitter, a new term has reared its head: Pedobaiting. Is the internet combining the Madonna/Whore complex to produce a new kind of sexism? Is this all because of decades of a cultural infantilisation of adult women? This week Ione and Gina get to terms with the issues facing female sexual expression in a post Qanon landscape. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/tavi-gevinson-influencers monthly 0.5 2024-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5c80bc3-b782-41e3-8806-204c1ebfde3b/IMG_3543.jpg Podcast - Tavi Gevinson on Influencers, Old vs New Media &amp; Performativity This week Ione and Gina are joined for an extra special long episode with writer, actor, producer and all round internet legend Tavi Gevinson!

Tavi's newest project, the Audible Original series Glimpses Of The Moon, an adaptation of the 1922 Edith Wharton novel of the same name, is available to listen to now. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/rage-bait-moral-conmpass monthly 0.5 2024-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6772b45-2b2f-4f71-a3ea-8a128288ec10/IMG_63A11283CF17-1.jpeg Podcast - How Rage Bait Replaced Moral Compasses Is it cynical to question if podcasts are being recorded just to get viral social media clips? And is it ironic that we're saying that on OUR podcast? This week, hosts Ione and Gina delve into the murky ethics of posing questions around sex work and marriage to self promote, the need for having a definite opinion over admitting nuance and whether we're all individualising theory far too much. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/celebrity-culture-is-dead monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35ab3cde-eb95-486e-a519-1e3174a79cdc/IMG_B3C3415CC618-1.jpeg Podcast - Celebrity Culture Is Dead, and Fandom Killed It Last week The Last Dinner Party caught major heat from fans after security at their show screened cis male attendees. Meanwhile across the pond, Billie Eilish stans are overstepping boundaries by hurling abuse at her team over the Birds Of A Feather music video. And as usual, Chappell Roan devotees are being little bastards. This week, Ione and Gina are delving into the death knell surrounding celebrity culture and asking what has caused stans to wade into unhinged - and unsafe - territory. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/sally-rooney-marketing monthly 0.5 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2beba335-fcb2-45c9-988a-ea79a8ee52e5/IMG_3206.jpg Podcast - Sally Rooney, Post Individualism and How Marketing Became a Part of Culture Has the internet killed our sense of self? Why are the advertising campaigns for films, albums and books lauded more than the art itself? And can everyone leave Sally Rooney alone already?

Ione and Gina look at the film's use of the male gaze, the meta commentary of the casting as well as the inherent value of embracing being a gross girl. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/summer-catch-up monthly 0.5 2024-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7f7fffd-99f3-4af1-8304-6229ee3cafd3/IMG_2799.jpg Podcast - Summer Catch Up: Chappell Roan, Nikocado Avocado, Harry Potter Castings And Taylor Swift's Politics The Polyester Podcast is back after a couple of episodes break so our hosts could go on holidays and for this extra special episode Ione and Gina are digging into all of the discourse we missed in the past month. We're giving our two cents on the burning topics that have plagued our feeds recently, like is Taylor Swift supporting Kamala Harris genuinely? Why won't the Harry Potter franchise die already? Who the hell is Nikocado Avocado and can everyone please be normal about Chappell Roan for once? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/it-ends-with-us monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d36aaea1-8ee9-4786-9a27-123cfd1d94b4/IMG_02DA5B4142B2-1.jpeg Podcast - The Dark Chaos Of The 'It Ends With Us' Press Tour Our feeds have been overrun with a new celeb squabble as the press rollout for the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 'It Ends With Us' goes absolutely tits up. Both TikTok and X users have spent the last week picking apart the behind the scenes drama between producer and star Blake Lively and producer, director and star Justin Baldoni. Is Blake giving feminism a bad name? Was Justin's vision steamrollered by Ryan Reynolds? And why has Justin hired Johnny Depp’s crisis PR? In this week's episode, Ione and Gina get stuck into the nuances (or lack thereof) of the latest Hollywood spat to captivate our feeds. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/the-spirituality-girly-to-alt-right-pipeline monthly 0.5 2024-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff9eba4b-70bb-43b3-8fb6-90f896b3b699/IMG_1516.jpg Podcast - The Spirituality Girly To Alt Right Pipeline How does embracing your divine feminine turn into an interest in eugenics?

And should being frugal be a trend, a lifestyle choice or just a case of bloody getting on with things?

The Hawk Tuah girl has used her blowjob technique to become a star; cashing in on the viral moment with a merch line, a manager and a possible documentary. But while she makes bank, the alt right have commodified her into a figurehead - once again proclaiming any woman with blonde hair and big tits as their own. Across the pond, the the left seems to be just as pitiful - as indie fashion brands release ironic 'I <3 Ozempic' t-shirts, and seemingly feminist articles ascribe individual actions political buzzwords, resulting in the death of any kind of progressive discourse. Add 'mixed weight' relationship discourse into the mix, and our hosts have had enough. Will we ever stop reducing women to their bodies?

Minus one hundred aura points. Discovered a band before your mates? Plus one thousand aura points. The new AP ranking system has taken TikTok by storm as teens rush to reveal the coolest and most harrowing moments in their lives to get engagement, sympathy and much coveted aura. Meanwhile incel rhetoric has once again broken free from the underbelly of the internet's forums to give men body dysmorphia via looksmaxxing. Through analysing both trends, hosts Ione and Gina reckon with the fact that it seems that the male gaze has finally started to corrupt how men see themselves and ask the question if self-commodification has reached a head. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/general-election-depressing-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54911685-4ac6-4af1-b958-857b3944593c/IMG_D989EB1F96D1-1.jpeg Podcast - Why the 2024 General Election Is So Depressing We're all desperate to get the tories out, but for the first time in our hosts lives as voters, there's been an inescapable apathy in the air. As it seems certain that Labour will take over as the new British government, is it time to vote independent or spoil the ballot?

The musician's sixth studio album Brat dropped this month and all of a sudden everything is Brat. But while we continue to wonder if every lime green car is planted by charli herself or just pure coincidence, in this week's episode, Ione and Gina are taking on the behemoth Brat marketing rollout. Is this is truly Charli's most relatable album yet? Or does the music itself not match up to the genius of its rollout?

The #BlockOut2024 encourages social media users to block celebrities and cut short their income streams until they voice their opinion on the conflict - but is this a useful form of activism or just virtue signalling from people hoping to win the game of social media? This week Ione and Gina are getting into the pros and cons of digital activism, celeb altruism and the internet's dilution of what it means to be politically active. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/polyamory-empowering-or-embarrassing monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef49ccde-8b30-4c2b-a563-07fc6022a2a3/IMG_9177.jpg Podcast - Polyamory - Empowering or Embarrassing? The day has finally come, the question has been asked and our hosts are ready to tackle the query of a generation: Why is everyone polyamorous now?

The viral video, which promises to put an end to declining birth rates, has sparked debates on the morality of combining intimacy with AI; and in this week's episode, Ione and Gina are getting into the root of it all.

As internet sleuths take it upon themselves to wreak vigilante justice on the real life people the series was based on, those who know Richard Gadd - the writer and star of Baby Reindeer - suffer the consequences. Is it a failure in safeguarding or a marketing ploy? Is this the final form of parasocial relationships? In this week's episode Ione and Gina are picking apart how social media's obsession with true crime has truly killed any kind of empathy and nuance we have for one another. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/chappell-roan-jojo-siwa-and-how-lesbians-took-over-pop-music monthly 0.5 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bee34085-9728-4a13-a89a-c2147e4ba3eb/IMG_8537.jpg Podcast - Chappell Roan, Jojo Siwa And How Lesbians Took Over Pop Music The second weekend of Coachella has confirmed it: Chappell Roan is the lesbian pop star the world has been waiting for. Roan is one of a generation of pop girlies paving the way for sapphic representation in the mainstream - from Jojo Siwa to Renée Rapp, we are truly in a queer woman power hour for music. In this week's episode, Ione and Gina break down what is so appealing about Roan's output, whether queer visibility is a good thing and why the culture has been longing for explicitly lesbian lyricism. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/the-zoe-app-ozempic-and-individualised-healthcare-wont-save-you monthly 0.5 2024-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5c8927fa-a802-489f-8fa1-0d9bc2e6b338/IMG_8414.jpg Podcast - The Zoe App, Ozempic and Individualised Healthcare Won’t Save You By tracking our blood glucose levels, harvesting our eggs and banking our collagen are we hacking the health system or are we contributing to the privatisation of NHS services and discrimination of chronically ill and disabled people?

Last week a Substack essay went viral for calling media parties boring and this week Ione and Gina are having it out about whether roles in the media are still as fun, exciting and covetable as Sex and the City and every 00s Rom Com presented them to be - and more importantly do they even need to be?

In this week's episode, Ione and Gina are digging into how the Euphoria actress' double Ds have become a point of contention across Twitter and beyond as many use the objectification of Sweeney's melons to signify a society taking steps backwards in their definitions of beauty. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/forget-girlhood-these-are-the-days-of-terfhood monthly 0.5 2024-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0629650a-9f84-4960-ae8a-ec174301e1a1/IMG_7852.jpg Podcast - Forget Girlhood, These Are The Days Of TERFhood These are the days of girlhood - pink beer cans, bathtub breakdowns and picking up your meds.

Is it the far right convincing themselves that shes a psyop for the Democrat party? Or the fact she’s producing more CO2 emissions in a year than most people would in their entire life?

Another day another seemingly innocuous trend borne from TikTok style videos - this week Ione and Gina are using mob wife glamour to get into the nitty gritty of hyper specific aesthetics. Is mob wife glamour a PR move by HBO for The Soprano's 25th Anniversary? Or a fast fashion ploy to shift some coats during the February sales?

Ione and Gina get into the many ways that Saltburn remains a contentious watch for most working class people, especially when audiences contextualise the movie through the writer and director, Emerald Fennel's gaze. While critics ask if Saltburn is lambasting the right people, our hosts wonder if this film successfully satirises anything at all. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/dispatches-from-the-kardashian-simulacrum-is-this-real-drama-3h87m-6jlks-p97j2-m3e8p monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0b37b3d-3e68-4762-900d-2dbc88834846/IMG_5976.PNG Podcast - Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacrum: The Ugliness of Power It's the season finale of The Kardashians and this series can be only summed up as self serving: Every single piece of imagery given in this series has been a medium to send a message: Scott's birthday party serves only to remind the audience that Kim used to grace the covers of canine magazines and now she has featured multiple times on the front of Vogue. But when will the family - made up of literal billionaires - stop positing themselves as underdogs? MJ and Marie Corey hypothesise that it's all down to the ugliness and villainy associated with power, the end goal of the KarJenners within a capitalist system. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/girl-pretty-boy-pretty-podcast-tiktok monthly 0.5 2024-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04e63cc5-7eea-4102-bfb2-ee438b0e9d3d/IMG_5912.jpg Podcast - Are You Girl Pretty Or Boy Pretty? How TikTok Brought Back Y2K Self Loathing Another trend has spawned across TikTok and the site formally known as Twitter - Are you girl pretty or boy pretty?

This week, The Kardashians are leaning into the uncanny valley nature of their narrative construction, taking us behind the scenes on Kourtney's pregnancy announcement and Kim and North debating fashion as she gets dressed for the Met. Marie and MJ are questioning the hierarchies of who the family - and those around them - defers to. Is North being a brat or is she a creative with valid criticisms? Why do the Kardashians have so much respect for the traditional power structures in place around them? In a world where the KarJenners have posited themselves as world dominators, who gets to criticise the Kardashians and why is Kourtney so keen for it to be her? https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/barbican-resisters-ecofeminism-podcast monthly 0.5 2024-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82237ba3-2400-46a0-a69f-1bfd989631d7/barbican+resisters+pod+art+Large.jpeg Podcast - Live At the Barbican: How Feminism And Climate Change Are Irrevocably Linked In an extra special live episode in collaboration with Barbican, we invited our art history columnist Zara Aftab to host a conversation with artist Rene Matic and journalist Diyora Shadijanova exploring their exhibition RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology.

Then a lot of time being spent creating more structures and storylines about Kim working constantly, so we’re gonna show her being tired. What does that mean though? Why do we care? A way for The Kardashians to show us a version of true slices of life - the busy reality of trips to New York, meetings, appearances, disorientation at Tiffany's. We know though, smokes and mirrors, it's an approximation of the actuality of her busy life - let’s face it, a helicopter trip from Manhattan to Brooklyn. We don’t not have as many luxury hours in the day as The Kardashian’s. And again (and again) we see what they want to rise to the surface and stay there, we see the long game - in years but realistically (and dreadfully) in centuries. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/selena-gomez-amy-schumer-amp-the-problem-with-celebrities-getting-political-online-4s6lz monthly 0.5 2023-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76ef3f5b-cf92-43c0-9162-87ede8bfa40d/IMG_5569.jpg Podcast - Why The Internet Hates ‘This Is Not Your Mother’s Mean Girls’ It's finally here: The trailer for the movie of the musical of the movie Mean Girls, but the promotion for 'Not your mother's Mean Girls' has the generations united in disdain.

This episode they packed in a loooot of storylines. Lots of the Momager and with Kris needing to be everywhere at once, she finds new ways to do it.

Fake drama on the show? Could they ever? There’s the relevance of incredibly empty and fluffy episodes when so much is happening outside of the show. A very tame Palm Springs for Easter trip, some trouble in the Grey Gardens and it’s clearer than ever the show is just a bunch of scaffolding to shield the sisters from their reality. Kim tells the fam about her new role in AHS, there’s a humble brag - oh she loves taking on a challenge. Our sisters speculate on the impacts of the strike on Kim’s delivery of her new acting role. Ultimately, why are we taking this at face value? Will there won’t there be a podcast? If there is, we’ll pick that up on the next episode of this podcast.

Is the dirtbag left just conservatism and facism in a pretty outfit? More and more women are joining the alt-right under the guise of irony, playing a crucial part in the widening of political divides and making bank by broadcasting their bigoted opinions.

In all the unreal-ness of the reality you can’t get more real than a cat, and a hiss. We’re used to the family FaceTiming to name drop - but this time the person on the other end is an important player in The Kardashian effort - the goal is always to expand. And we go behind the latest campaign, SKIMS soccer, with a live reaction from the sisters There's a light dive in American Horror Story, and force of will. Back with the family there’s a will they won’t they, live anaesthesia (wow) and the reality, basically, that the show is just connective tissue for the brands. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/dispatches-from-the-kardashian-simulacrum-the-power-of-proximity monthly 0.5 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f31d977e-efc8-43f8-b525-1ddd8fb3fd03/IMG_3815.jpg Podcast - Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacrum: The Power Of Proximity Is The Bachelor sponsoring this season of The Kardashians? As this season progresses, the family continue to focus on fluffy storylines while ignoring the more serious issues bubbling under the surface. In LA, Kris and Khloe are trying to set up Scott, while Kim's in London playing Soccer Mom while dodging her friends’ matchmaking efforts — and we're still unable to go a full episode without someone begging Khloe to get back with Tristan. MJ and Marie are exploring how the Kardashians keep on top of their constructed narratives while maintaining fame and relevancy in a world increasingly cynical of the family's actions. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/doja-cat-amp-the-problem-with-people-pandering-to-edgelord-celebrities monthly 0.5 2023-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4eca3eea-ec37-4a8e-b0f8-25f47f1034ce/Screenshot+2023-10-24+at+10.45.24.png Podcast - Doja Cat &amp; The Problem With People Pandering to Edgelord Celebrities It seems impossible to go a week without Doja Cat stirring up a new controversy; from sporting a tshirt featuring an alt-right figurehead, to appearing in racist chatrooms and isolating her fanbase. As her behaviour appears to veer away from simple trolling and towards an actual endorsement of alt-right views, Ione and Gina are digging into why we continue to pander to celebrities that act in ways we don't agree with. From parasocial relationships and whether controversy helps or hinders celebrities, to what it means to be red-pilled and the conspiracy theories that emerge surrounding contentious figures. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/inclusivity-in-fashion-is-a-charade-amp-were-all-being-duped monthly 0.5 2023-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e704107b-ad33-49f4-9a2d-02b97567d7c6/IMG_3766.jpg Podcast - Inclusivity in Fashion is a Charade &amp; We're All Being Duped Between announcements of yet another white man being appointed to lead a luxury house, modelling agencies recruiting refugees and then mistreating them, and curve models making up less than 1% of SS24 runways; its safe to say the fashion girlies are not alright. With memes circulating that decry the lack of diversity and inclusivity within the industry, it can often feel like fashion not only doesn't care, but is actively ignoring the grim reality and structural issues. This week, Ione and Gina are debating if change is ever possible within an oppressive system, what the failure of diversity efforts mean, and how we as consumers can strive for change. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/dispatches-from-the-kardashian-simulacrum-kim-is-fictionalising-her-pr-moves monthly 0.5 2023-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c922acc0-75ec-4b08-9da3-eb3ceff985f7/IMG_4807.jpg Podcast - Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacrum: Kim Is Fictionalising Her PR Moves The KarJenner sisters are fictionalising their own PR moves and Kim is pushing it to the extremes with her series of American Horror Story while using the show to embed feminism into Kim's brand alongside shamelessly canonising their world. Meanwhile in the Hulu show, the family distract us with fluffy storylines that don't mean much of anything, except to drive home the fact that the family are aligned with authenticity. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/n6u6k56tms96zr2xflov6qyhxa0mkq monthly 0.5 2023-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/466bd403-a87d-44bb-822e-76650090139d/IMG_2202.jpg Podcast - TikTok Sleuths Are Making Gossip a Crime Earlier this month, an influencer took to TikTok to denounce some women she heard at brunch bitching about their friends. No, this woman did not know the people she was filming. Nor was she friends with the person they were gossiping about.

From girl math and girl dinner to the fact that all of our clothes have become adorned with little bows; girls once again rule the URL world. But how much has changed since the Tumblr era?

The pair are picking apart Kim's starring role in American Horror Story; from Ryan Murphy being a scab, to the franchise taking camp mainstream, and whether Kim's moment to transcend the reality genre will be a success. MJ and Marie will also be discussing the importance of the strikes more widely in relation to the Kardashian universe. https://www.polyesterzine.com/podcast/summer-2023-the-tabi-swindler-the-roman-empiretimothe-and-kyliebarbiebottoms-and-more monthly 0.5 2023-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7187ce8d-71e9-4541-b5ec-46fd997a4ca6/PODCAST-FINAL-LARGE.jpg Podcast - Summer 2023: The Tabi Swindler, The Roman Empire, Timothée and Kylie, Barbie, Bottoms and more - Hello!

one. Hot and ready to stir the pot. Right out the gate, we are blessed with an elegant Jupiter-kissed Libra Full Moon, ruled by Venus which is in the stable and serene skies of Taurus until April 23rd. Aside from a little dust up with Pluto on the 3rd, Venus in Taurus will be flowing nicely to Jupiter in Cancer for the first half of the month, bringing warmth, love, community, and reassurance that it will all be alright if we show up for one another. It starts to heat up on April 9th as Mars and Mercury shift from slippery Pisces into flamethrowing Aries. As they form conjunctions to Neptune and Saturn in Aries, the energy intensifies, potentially pouring gasoline on situations that are already on fire, especially on the global stage. On the bright side, if you want to get a big dream or project off the ground, these transits could give you the push you need. Just be mindful of burn-out on the 19th and surrounding days when Mars and Mercury conjunct Saturn. This influence can be a real gear grinder if you go too hard. The New Moon in Aries on April 17th is an opportunity to set intentions around the realization of your goals, knowing your heart holds the keys to your success. Let faith in yourself and the greater good support you in bringing your visions to life. We’re lifemaxxing on April 19th as the Sun shifts into Taurus, followed by a tantalizing encounter between Venus and Uranus in Taurus on the 23rd. Flirt, be feral, and spoil yourself and everyone you love. Venus shimmies into Gemini on April 24th, bringing a chatty, curious, and spritely air to the ways we express love and creativity. On April 25th, Uranus ingresses back into Gemini until 2032, where it will revolutionize how we think, communicate, and navigate the world for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0975110-8128-4922-9c4b-1961e19c947f/maraschino.webp Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6d669f2e-d45d-44fc-83e5-845f7fe0f208/April+Horoscope+2.2.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e095f387-f8ef-4ce2-953a-5d61c995dac1/April+Horoscope+3.3.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4e7a409a-b506-4527-8527-7a330f1114e6/April+Horoscope+4.4.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bb5b8af-19e7-4c58-8459-af799c9bcc08/April+Horoscope+5.5.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/996537c7-bb97-4fb3-b09c-4ec7423b7f3b/April+Horoscope+6.6.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5258b2f2-e1c0-4532-83fa-68f5eb563771/April+Horoscope+7.7.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7320c11-eaf1-43b2-b75f-cdff82703189/April+Horoscope+8.8.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13897cb8-15f5-4d02-b6d4-4acf3174318e/April+Horoscope+9.9.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b32cbe5b-99f6-46d8-a8af-a1b5fe58bcc7/April+Horoscope+10.10.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61700b23-14f3-460f-8ba4-bc1fd208933a/April+Horoscope+11.11.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ccc4bc32-c2ff-477b-98dc-00e472a3c097/April+Horoscope+12.12.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/99000a7c-9dd2-411b-89b4-0766075c777e/April+Horoscope+13.13.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/grace-glowickis-guide-to-not-letting-perfectionism-paralyse-your-creativity monthly 0.5 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7b776fa-652e-4b64-bf92-d5524888a4f9/GraCEEE.png Features - Grace Glowicki's Guide to Not Letting Perfectionism Paralyse Your Creativity - Make it stand out Grace Glowicki values playfulness and expressiveness. As an actress, she likes to make big swings with an anarchic, physical performance style - and as a director, she’s inspired by low-budget, DIY, indie productions that are brimming with character. After starring in films like Honey Bunch, Booger, and Until Branches Bend - Grace told herself something: that she couldn’t direct full-feature films too. So rather than spending years making shorts - Grace jumped into directing her first film, Tito. Her new film, Dead Lover, tells the story of a gravedigger who reanimates the love of her life using just one of his fingers. Dead Lover was shot in 16 days, for a budget of less than $350,000, using just two black-box stages as sets. For other filmmakers, those constraints could have been an obstacle - the kind that stops a project in its tracks. Yet Grace understood that no project, no matter how well-funded, was perfect. And so she didn’t let those imperfections block her creative potential. If there’s anything that Dead Lover taught Grace, it’s that the most important thing is to just do it. Here’s Grace Glowicki’s guide to not letting perfectionism paralyse your creativity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d72ecfd8-6f21-46ed-96f0-0cd3663a56ca/Grace+1.png Features - Grace Glowicki's Guide to Not Letting Perfectionism Paralyse Your Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/edf78461-9aa8-4167-9eae-4cf745e21c17/Grace+2.png Features - Grace Glowicki's Guide to Not Letting Perfectionism Paralyse Your Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8cd6a3cd-79a5-464d-8a2f-76c857df6fb0/Grace+3.png Features - Grace Glowicki's Guide to Not Letting Perfectionism Paralyse Your Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5de9f334-02a9-42c2-b646-0795520bc9bc/Grace+4.png Features - Grace Glowicki's Guide to Not Letting Perfectionism Paralyse Your Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/adele-bertei-on-kathleen-hanna-female-commodification-and-the-women-of-no-wave monthly 0.5 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/96ef9fd1-4fa5-4727-bee9-c4d4d85d8393/Untitled-2.jpg Features - Adele Bertei on Kathleen Hanna, Female Commodification and the Women of No Wave As culture navigates GLP-1s, trad wife influencers and looksmaxxers, it is only natural to yearn for an artistic world of grit and fluidity. In her new book, “No New York: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene”, Adele Bertei, does just that - offering a glimpse into how the late-1970s artistic movement no wave pursued personal and political liberation through the rejection of the commercialization of new wave and punk. Bertei was the electric organist for James Chance and the Contortions, an assistant to Brian Eno, and lead singer of the first openly queer all-girl band called The Bloods at a time when many musicians chose to remain shtum about their sexuality.

You’ve heard it by now: “thin is in.” Despite declarations such as these, skinniness isn’t just a trend - it is a constant in contemporary society’s narrow definitions of beauty, acceptability, health, and desirability. What has shifted, notably since GLP-1s skyrocketed in popularity since 2023, is just how thin is currently considered ideal, and this new reality is apparent everywhere: across the red carpets of Hollywood, TikTok trends, the return of extreme fad diets being marketed as “healthy”, and our collective language that demonises fatness. “Fat”, it seems, is once again a synonym for “bad”, “unhealthy”, or “ugly.” Resistance to this surge in fatphobia has been minimal, although not through a lack of trying from activists, but because they are woefully outnumbered. Fat acceptance voices face relentless backlash and exhaustion, the Fat Liberation Movement feels like a hazy memory, and body positivity has largely been co-opted by apolitical, non-fat women who don’t experience marginalisation based on their bodies. It’s rough out there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f767c1a4-2808-4ea3-abb6-1782c439899b/fat+ally+2.png Features - What Has Happened to Fat Allyship? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/working-arts-club-working-classness-and-the-importance-of-solidarity-in-the-visual-ats-profession monthly 0.5 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b874373d-e409-4ca0-aa7d-777ff3e3a7a6/arts+club.png Features - Working Arts Club and the Importance of Solidarity in the Visual Arts Profession. I don’t enjoy having to think about class as an issue in professional situations. It would be ideal if we never had to speak on identity politics at all; however, as long as things stay as they are, the disparity between working-class people and those from more affluent situations is stark. Unlike other minoritised identities that tend to have Equality, Diversity and Inclusion backing in professional settings, working classness often does not, and people like me can feel a little left behind. Working class people should be mentored and encouraged, if they are to succeed in a space that is exclusionary and elitist by design. Being a woman in this field increases the struggle. Add in matters of race, disability or otherwise, and it becomes exponentially harder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7959d919-5c51-4275-ad8a-c876a76367f2/arts+club+2.png Features - Working Arts Club and the Importance of Solidarity in the Visual Arts Profession. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dani-millers-guide-to-changing-your-luck monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1dcb2f0b-133a-41b6-8a30-e7e36969aa43/Photo+Mar+23+2026%2C+5+32+55+PM.jpg Features - Dani Miller’s Guide to Changing Your Luck - Make it stand out Whether she’s making electronic music with Ashley Smith as part of Trashworld, or with punk band Surfbort - there’s one constant for Dani Miller: her luck. Dani gets to do what she loves every day and she gets paid for it - it’s the dream and she knows it. That’s not to say that every day is easy. We all know life is full of ups and downs, but Dani knows something else - that all you need to change a down day into an up is a little bit of luck. Surftbort’s new album, ‘Reality Star’ has just been released. And for Dani there was a clear inspiration. “I just realised that everyone is the star of their own reality. Everyone is Paris Hilton in the simple life. We’re like Sims interacting with each other”. Being the star of your own reality is as hectic as it is fun - and Surfbort’s album is full of anthems to help everyone get through life together. If there’s one thing Dani knows - it’s how to improve your fortunes.

Long Live the Debut Loop! By now, seeing designer-B-just-debuted-at-Z-esque headlines has become a routine part of fashion month. In fact, entire guides are dedicated to tracking which creative director is stepping into which house each season. Just take a look at the past few years, and you'll see: Gucci, Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Off-White, Ann Demeulemeester and more have all appointed new talent, dipping their toes in the ever judgmental and demanding fashion sea until reaching a verdict. If they fail to cause any commotion, they’re out. If they don't impress enough, they're still out. It seems that, in such a challenging, fast-paced industry, finding the equilibrium is harder than ever, and so does it finding the right fit. Thus, the cycle continues: more debuts. 2026 has already learned the game early; Harris Reed just stepped down from Nina Ricci, and after Olivier Rousteing and Balmain split, Antonin Tron was announced as the French house's new creative director. Meanwhile, Dario Vitale’s departure from Versace after only one season came as a bit of a shock, though by now, after a similar fate met Ludovic de Saint Sernin at Ann Demeulemeester, we may have seen it coming. Now, Alaïa’s Pieter Mulier has ended his reign of almost five years and took Vitale’s position. Who will assume Alaïa? Who knows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f79ff13b-cbf2-4a71-ac60-8ba86d7e3af3/collage2.png Features - Fashion Legacy Is Dead.

The internet has been crying out for years for a no-holds-barred expose on the iconic 00s reality show and for host Tyra Banks to be held accountable for her crimes, and baby, they gave it to us. Netflix dropped the three episode Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model back in February and the chickens have been clucking about the drama, the personality disorders and the hot steaming tea ever since. The show interviews former contestants, notable journalists, previous judges, production staff and, shockingly, the trench-coat-wearing golden goose herself: Tyra Banks. Now, there were rumours flying around that Tyra was a producer on this series, but that has been refuted by other participants and the Netflix directors themselves, who stated that Tyra was invited to give an interview, but that it would be made with or without her contributions. It certainly does not bend over backwards to paint Tyra in a flattering light, or even necessarily give her the benefit of the doubt in many cases, but it does maximise our viewing pleasures with its shady captions and the subtle sassiness of its editing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1e6bf00-12db-4b1c-a91c-b3d4effd45e0/the+jays+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Honest Reflection On America’s Next Top Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/muna-cover-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6f51cc26-9d1b-4202-aa0d-135e4bd21cb0/muna+cover+text+placement+1+%281%29.jpg Features - MUNA on Stevie Nicks, Political Songwriting, and Their New Album In 2016, when Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson - who made music together as MUNA - recorded their first album, About U, they worked with what they had. They had punk sensibilities and a rugged aesthetic, but the songs they wrote together could never avoid dovetailing into irresistible pop hooks and anthemic moments: it was just who they were. Over time, the band built a formidable reputation for putting danceable melodies to difficult interior struggles, modern life’s stresses, and the highs and lows of queer love. Their music has soundtracked both sweaty lesbian bar dancefloor encounters, and the types of breakups that leave you bed bound, for many, many listeners. Given their resonance with a fanbase that rides so hard for them, since About U, MUNA’s momentum and vision has grown, matched by the ambition of their inspired pop songwriting, and their springboard choruses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8a02d3c-2da0-4272-8a49-338445ab0c15/HR-muna-18.JPG Features -

Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch There’s something deeply magnetic about yearning, a charge that exists before anything is spoken, before anything is touched. It lives in glances that linger too long, in the quiet awareness of another body in space, in the almost unbearable pull of possibility. It is not the act itself that defines connection, but the tension leading up to it, the moment where everything could happen, and nothing has yet been decided. Catfight began in that space. Like many others, I found myself consumed by Heated Rivalry. It wasn’t just a show; it became a shared language, a cultural pulse moving through queer communities online and off. But what stayed with me wasn’t the secrecy or the spectacle, it was the tension. The quiet, relentless yearning between two people who could not look away from each other. The way desire could exist without resolution and still feel explosive. That feeling felt familiar. Watching it made me reflect on my own experiences, the connections that shaped me, particularly with women. There is something uniquely layered in female connection: a depth, an emotional intelligence, a vulnerability that exists beneath the surface. It is often unspoken, but intensely felt. For me, these connections carried a kind of knowing, a recognition that exists before anything is defined. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce682f43-a1df-4bd8-aaf0-7d4aa81c2693/Film+Still+1.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f96cb782-5169-4059-864e-3773a95342c7/Film+Still+3.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bed7901b-201e-446e-b1bd-81e426384dd2/Film+Still+4.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/957dcad2-6586-4a1d-b01e-5eae777807e8/Film+Still+2.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/441e2032-87dd-4cee-9c18-e9e1357da135/Film+Still+5.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c973aa0a-aa01-4262-b893-635528a15190/Film+Still+6.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35d1900d-bb55-4388-b4a0-2ae6d011e90f/Film+Still+7.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b01f6a70-31d8-4024-b4ce-464daa7eef9e/Film+Still+8.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13e37176-936b-4cd3-8cb1-ffc9c0284448/Film+Still+9.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f91ddf8f-d392-4567-b28e-5273864fa497/Film+Still+10.jpg Features - Catfight: On Yearning, Tension, and the Space Before Touch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinecism-canadas-moment monthly 0.5 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92a210e4-af2d-4b20-a97c-043b98c6641c/Broey+1.png Features - Cinecism: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Dead Lover and Canada’s Moment It’s been a tough year for Canada. If it wasn’t crippling tariffs, it was the Toronto Blue Jays suffering a brilliant defeat to the LA Dodgers at the World Series. If it wasn’t the Hudson’s Bay Company shuttering 96 percent of its stores, it was a brutal humiliation at the Winter Olympics when Canada’s hockey team lost to the U.S. at our own national sport. I moved away from Canada a year and a half ago, having suffered my own series of personal losses and defecting, like other Canadian creatives, for greater opportunities in the place that continues to suck my country dry. So when I sat in the theatre to watch the ostensibly goofy Canadian buddy comedy, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, it was unsurprising to me that I wanted to cry. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol’s feature length answer to a failed attempt at running a third season of their hit 2008 web series (Nirvanna the Band the Show, duh). In the film version, we find ourselves back in the Toronto home of best friends and bandmates Matt and Jay, right where we left them. It’s been nearly two decades, and society is almost unrecognisable, as is the city of Toronto. Yet Matt and Jay are hot on the pursuit of their perennial goal: to play a show at The Rivoli. After a disastrous attempt to gain recognition via plummeting from the CN Tower into a Jays’ game at the SkyDome, the two embark (Matt excitedly and Jay against his will) on their zaniest plot yet. What if we time traveled back to 2008, a time when we may have a better shot? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/957c1525-0b48-4bc7-a550-ee1e8ab13bdc/Broey+2.png Features - Cinecism: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Dead Lover and Canada’s Moment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cobrah-feature-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/542e73c9-d4bd-4752-be06-fb1e5ecac952/0008971-R1-24-24+copy.jpg Features - Cobrah on Pushing Performance to its Extremes, Believing In Aliens, and Her Craziest Club Experience When we speak, Cobrah is about to release her debut album, Torn. The interview is off camera but her soft voice is unmistakable. For an artist who’s known for “BDSM pop”, Cobrah’s personality is extremely sweet. She’s into baking cakes on her off days - “Very off brand,” she admits - and she has logged over 1000 hours last year on Baldur’s Gate, a fantasy video game. All in all, she seems pretty chill. Her music and visuals, on the other hand, tell a different story. If you’re not familiar with the enigma that is Cobrah, you are missing out. Her musical catalogue of pure hedonistic bass-fuelled cunty avant-pop includes titles like Good Puss, Brand New Bitch and Quick Lick, exude an unapologetic embrace of female sexuality, packaged in a tongue-in-cheek maximalism. Although her lyrics are fun and her songs high in energy, the production is a serious matter, packed full of quality visuals that more often than not have an unsettling twist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/96201371-5b8c-42c5-8a49-7c12862f1587/0008969-R1-22-22A+copy.jpg Features -

We Don't Need Another Pride and Prejudice At 13, I decided that I was going to read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice for the first time. Since then I’ve revisited it three times and watched the mini-series (1995) and film (2005) more than I care to admit. I have always enjoyed reading classic literature and historical fiction and love yearning, truly - but when I saw the new Netflix Pride and Prejudice trailer, the announcement for a Jane Eyre mini series, and the Sense and Sensibility movie details, I sighed with exasperation, especially because I had just endured Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights in cinemas that weekend. These stories have been told so many times, and told well, too (the P&P mini series is a masterpiece!), and certain studios have a mixed reputation with these adaptations (don't talk to me about Persuasion). Why is it that Hollywood keeps returning to Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54c9da21-aa12-4013-ab33-34a76e60bd3c/AustenLiterature-Collage2.png Features - We Don't Need Another Pride and Prejudice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/take-a-look-inside-the-beachy-world-of-tyler-mcgillivarys-new-mermaiden-collection monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5fef317f-7439-41c9-88ce-6964dd36e36a/27.jpg Features - Take a Look Inside the Beachy Dreamworld of Tyler McGillivary’s New ‘Mermaiden’ Collection - Make it stand out Tyler McGillivary’s SS26 collection Mermaiden makes its retail debut this week, bringing its dreamy maritime world from runway to real life. First unveiled aboard a ship in downtown Manhattan during New York Fashion Week, the collection dives into a whimsical universe where nostalgia, mysticism, and playful decadence wash together. Think sea-spell silhouettes, oceanic textures, and a sense of escapism that feels equal parts fantasy and fashion. Rooted in Tyler’s signature ethos of inclusivity, Mermaiden imagines a world where anyone can slip into the role of a modern mermaid - because, secretly, every girl wants to be one.

In the summer of 2025, I was “fun”-employed and depressed. I had spent much of the school year, my first in an MFA program in creative writing, scrolling through Instagram and Facebook Marketplace at my dead-end job at an art fabricator. I knew I wanted to write. I knew I didn’t have the makings of a writing life, something that my MFA promoted. I knew what it looked like, but not what it felt like. I’d been following Megan Rhiannon and The Common Corner on YouTube for years, two creators who chronicle their experiments with journaling–their calm voices and simple aesthetics encouraged me to slow down. Besides, I had a stack of notebooks that archived my life in ways that my traumatised brain just couldn’t (and can’t!); keeping notebooks allowed me to remember and chronicle events, everything from my morning coffee to a fallout with a friend, that I was likely to forget. Maybe I was primed to fall down the analog rabbit hole long before analog bags–-the phenomenon sweeping TikTok of keeping analog activities to replace the desire to scroll— were a trend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d69453f6-ce51-40f9-afb2-6038b3c974d5/Analogue+2.png Features - Can Feminists Consciously Go Analogue? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-modern-magpie-how-tumblr-taught-the-last-dinner-party-creative-process monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/727b0b52-5df7-4318-aa2e-ee64dede9f5a/TLDP.png Features - The Modern Magpie: How Tumblr Taught The Last Dinner Party Creative Process When we sat down with our record label in a meeting for the first time, the ink still wet from our signatures on the deal, we asked them politely to refer to our moodboard. This is a sixty-page-long document (we fondly call it ‘the motherboard’) of still images, collected from Italian opera and anime and architecture and archival fashion. Executives were amused, in-house creatives were impressed, our managers hadn’t seen it done before. To us though, it didn’t feel audacious to have spent our time pulling together references for music videos, staging and album artwork, and organising it into a legible, scrollable presentation. It felt natural, and obvious. We’d considered the fonts and the way certain images looked when grouped together. We added little explanations of how things related to our vision for the band, and sometimes images with no explanation at all. It was, unmistakably, like a Tumblr blog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/17942fe4-588d-47fa-9a4e-dab10fea9279/TLDP2.png Features - The Modern Magpie: How Tumblr Taught The Last Dinner Party Creative Process - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/claire-parkers-guide-to-diy-ing-your-own-comedy-special monthly 0.5 2026-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c86a796-67b8-4dea-87d4-e01c08f366e0/RNI-Films-IMG-1092B9E2-FB29-43D6-9B18-A429142C8E9C.JPEG Features - Claire Parker’s Guide to DIY-ing Your Own Comedy Special - Make it stand out You might know Claire Parker as one of the co-hosts of the podcast Good Noticings, formerly known as the Celebrity Memoir Book Club. What you might not know though, is that she’s also a veteran stand-up comedian who has performed in the New York circuit for the past ten years - which is also how she met her podcast co-host, Ashley Hamilton. Last year, Claire had one mission: to take her decade of experience and produce her very own comedy special - completely independently. After twelve months of preparation, Claire Parker’s 32 was born. Playfully titled with an apostrophe - as though the year belongs to Claire - the special serves a double function. On one hand it’s an amalgamation of everything Claire achieved in one year of work - writing, producing, and even filming the whole special one week before her 33rd birthday. And on the other, it’s a statement of what 32 means to Claire Parker - a time which, for straight women, is filled with questions like: Should I be having a baby? Should I get botox? How would I fare in an apocalypse? Producing the special was a baptism of fire, one that taught Claire everything you’d need to know about produ.

The sold out crowd is too transfixed by keiyaA, and the rumbling bass and laser-like synths that characterise her music. She is flanked by banks of kit, and her onyx locks billow in a fan’s breeze, as she croons, “I’m the Queen of the Night.” Over a shimmering orchestral swell, and gospel chords that could open the heavens, her voice melts into the mantra of “stupid prizes”, and a refrain that’s less a confession than a testament to her sonic signature. “Tell me how I’m supposed to thrive / When all I’ve known is to survive / When all I’ve known is to rely on I?” she asks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d81ad7af-124b-4490-b51c-150ee32a2627/000034990011.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Dress: Tyler McGillivary via RX Studios | Shoes: Steve Madden | Earrings: Laruicci | Cuff: UNAPLGTC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95b8ad21-f600-4ee4-a649-b9876053b05e/000035030005.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/03cbf4f5-1399-41f5-814f-9ddc430e81ea/000035000028.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Dress: Laruicci | Shoes: Steve Madden | Choker: Laruicci https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a9b8b87e-a36d-4878-9a31-2b737352b766/000035020031-2.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f9268ca0-8c4e-4615-8e2f-dc11db3b2398/000035030011.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/847c13ec-e4e2-4e19-aac9-6b1e9e21fe9e/000035010004.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e2b628b-5964-4596-a491-ced2b03eea76/000035020019.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Coat: Twiggy Moore | Shoes: Brandon Blackwood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/25f6be4c-fd72-41c7-845c-5ce458513a22/000035020012.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0272315b-023b-4b77-b653-07837ee8594f/000035020011.jpg Features - keiyaA on Studying Jazz, Self Producing and Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-meme-culture-is-making-americas-next-top-model-palatable-again monthly 0.5 2026-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/669aa7c9-3722-4063-98f3-a68111de3c63/antm-collage2.png Features - How Meme Culture is Making America’s Next Top Model Palatable Again Even if you’re not old enough to have watched the reality series America’s Next Top Model in its prime, you’re most likely familiar with it through TikTok sound bites (I was rooting for you!), reaction gifs and the occasional think piece dissecting the toxic beauty standards it promoted. Now it’s back on our FYP in a different form. One of the most popular TikTok trends right now isn’t a beauty hack or a fun little dance. It’s a joke about trauma. The caption flashes up - POV: You told Tyra your friend overdosed; you had an abortion; your mum fell down the stairs. Cut to modelling poses, changing to the beat of ANTM’s theme tune with an item related to the tragedy, styled in your own suffering. The format is simple, instantly recognisable, and a quick laugh. The perfect formula to go viral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97fb3722-5e25-4f7f-bc56-da653b08d275/antm-collage1.png Features - How Meme Culture is Making America’s Next Top Model Palatable Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/secret-diary-of-a-photographer-at-paris-fashion-week monthly 0.5 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/237d704e-1b69-49f4-8bcf-8850f0ac174b/Susan_fang_01.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out This Paris Fashion Week, photographer Simran Kaur was our eyes and ears on the ground - here’s Simran’s diary from across the week, from sitting out front at the shows, to making memories backstage <3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fcfa6f39-f02d-4c65-9d01-1961f0dc3a6a/IFM_master_show_01.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49471b21-4ec3-40cc-ab2b-80f36d2a3d3c/IFM_master_show_03.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Backstage at IFM Masters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02d62683-3945-4738-b8d1-9ee3cf2970c0/Vautrait_01.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Vautrait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4cec3290-cc09-4a56-a306-890dfe7d5001/BonBom_03.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out BonBom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/228c3065-3a11-4d78-8d1f-78d27c824622/Pstergirl_03.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out At the Poster Girl event https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/538690d7-fc8e-4e89-bd14-1135de833fa0/Susan_fang_02.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4fa7bb3f-8483-4a29-88f5-12db277cab7b/Susan_fang_03.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out At the Susan Fang showroom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac2f53f4-1d07-4015-9e7a-3f804390bef0/Jenny+Fax+%284%29.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a4a16e0-b91e-45ab-9d6f-c6e48cfbd9f8/Jenny+Fax+%283%29.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Jenny Fax https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35abbf28-9a47-4377-b79a-25f449b9fff6/Gauchere+%282%29.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Gauchere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e8c95648-622c-4fcc-998d-e07cad5bd351/Vaillant+%281%29.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Vaillant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/936130c3-e7f6-4d12-b883-f77f3ff69b39/Georges_hobeika+%281%29.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Backstage at Georges Hobeika https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02b51aea-13e5-4d95-8b42-8193871ebac8/boyarovskaya+%281%29.JPG Features - Secret Diary of a Photographer at Paris Fashion Week - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/emily-wood-lewis-vorn monthly 0.5 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0cabecf1-6281-4e9c-b9ac-d5c6c801155b/emilyfinal44+copy.jpg Features - Emily Wood Stars in Lewis Vorn’s Lynchian Evening Editorial For our third and final mini beauty shoot I spent an evening shooting around the streets of Angel with friend and makeup artist Emily Wood.

The work permits of asylum seekers will be restricted if Trump’s new proposal goes through. Immigrants are being taken into custody at their green card interviews as cities across the US become more overrun with underqualified, over-militarised bandits given a blank check to brutalise anyone who stands in the way of “immigration enforcement”.

Having immigrated from Angola, my mother grew up with the understanding that being too open with your criticism against the government would eventually get you disappeared and, if unlucky, found dead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42e2af5c-56c7-4d1d-aa83-08a89122c64f/ICE-collage4.2.png Features - Life in Purgatory - the Lived Experience of An Asylum Holder in Trump’s America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-january-2026-horoscope-pjpds-ptmez monthly 0.5 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b20e8e2-af59-43c5-86e9-3312ad788e3d/Horoscope+Insta+-+March+1.2.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope March is a little bit of a messy girl, but we’ll be okay. We’re still very much under the influence of the reality-melting Saturn-Neptune conjunction and the volatile Mars-Uranus square that perfected at the end of February, so there’s a lingering scorched-earth vibe that we’re continuing to navigate. Mercury is retrograde in Pisces until the 20th, and we have a full moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo conjunct the South Node on March 3rd, also ruled by Mercury, that will be influencing our skies until about the 18th. In short, relinquish any hope for order, functionality or tidy lines of communication for the next few weeks, and you’ll do great. Mars shifts into Pisces on March 2nd, forming a flowing connection to Jupiter in Cancer. Things will have a way of working out, just maybe not how you planned. While a lot of the astrology we’re living through presently isn’t for the faint of heart, sinkhole times like these are great for exploring and testing your spiritual practices, meditating, making art and music, reconnecting with yourself, and trying to remember what you’re even doing here. This will be especially helpful around March 6th when Venus sashays into Aries, where she will get what she wants yesterday. She might not be as sure on the 8th when she conjuncts wishy-washy Neptune and task-man Saturn, but you gotta try before you buy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0975110-8128-4922-9c4b-1961e19c947f/maraschino.webp Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d98232f-968a-4586-a8ad-cce319a8f433/aries.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b77a056a-a97a-4c45-bf6b-ac3b882ef62e/taurus.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac94bbdf-5821-466e-a6b5-3952ca244bc6/gemini.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae1f581e-e228-4656-ae14-6603e726dedb/cancer.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe144b03-6cb0-4d42-bf88-99c9e393da01/leo.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/80ce1432-945e-4198-84b2-74b0cfddf7e7/virgo.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/37c2f26c-7ae6-4db3-a6fc-5ba7ab43d869/libra.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e862faa-4a99-45e1-9e11-c6c1ad524c45/scorpio.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/801ac6e2-b185-43e5-93ba-238cd1c756d2/sag.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e70b386f-02d0-4068-818e-6bb1420eac3e/capricorn.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8b83676-a38a-42f0-8525-0af86940cc09/auqua.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e254c5f-49fe-4177-98a2-a5dff3ff4959/pisces.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sissy-misfits-guide-to-being-unapologetic monthly 0.5 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/05f0f991-f68e-432d-aa23-80244e0f1145/sissy+misfit+1.png Features - Sissy Misfit’s Guide to Being Unapologetic Sissy Misfit is just unapologetically herself!

Today, she planned to come out to him as a woman, after two months of secretly transitioning. The 30-year-old had discovered her true identity after a lifetime of denial and self-hate. Living in the conservative American South, she was surrounded by transphobia. But virtual reality was a safe space and it allowed her to lean into her new gender expression quietly, sharing it with loved ones at her own pace. When she had finally decided to tell her close friend about her transition, it only felt right to do it where it all began - through the social virtual reality platform VRChat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7d7fa44-9893-4365-8a12-8fb8a816f0bf/vr2.png Features - How Virtual Reality Became a Safe Space for the Trans Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-london-fashion-week-is-rejecting-perfectionnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4d47aa88-9f1a-4dc7-bdb7-e07e6a5b7a9b/lfw.png Features - How London Fashion Week is Rejecting Perfection&nbsp; For the past few seasons we’ve watched fashion inch toward a kind of purposeful dishevelment, but this London Fashion Week the mood took shape into something which felt more intentional. A trend I first saw at Prada last year with messy hair and crinkled shirting, has evolved into a broader trend that feels adaptable to the aesthetic language of so many different designers. There’s a growing appetite for clothes that acknowledge the chaos of living today: garments that crease, slip, and shift with the body. In many ways, this rejection of polish feels like a subconscious response to the cultural temperature, a moment defined by political turmoil, economic unease, and the strange emotional fatigue of existing online. When everything else feels tightly controlled or performative, perfection in dress can read as out of touch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/609526b4-ec8b-4400-bb24-3c72946a9840/lfw2.png Features - How London Fashion Week is Rejecting Perfection&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-scratched-gucci-to-distressed-birkins-why-are-we-obsessed-with-everything-being-lived-in monthly 0.5 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/403caf94-8d7b-4517-a338-5adcbfd48972/clothes1.png Features - From Scratched Gucci to Distressed Birkins, Why Are We Obsessed with Everything being “Lived-In”? Fashion has always flirted with “distressed” as an aesthetic. Punk pushed this logic further in the mid-to-late 1970s, making destruction explicit, with slashed clothes, pinned and deliberately exposed as a refusal of polish. But once distress entered mass production in the 1990s and early 2000s, its politics began to drain away. What first emerged as the consequence of long-term wear, and then as provocation (as a way of questioning why newness had to look pristine), distressing has migrated fully into the mainstream. Demna’s latest collection for Gucci marked a decisive return to the aesthetics of wear, featuring slouched, intentionally scuffed Jackie 1961 handbags and beaten-up leathers. The collection echoed a visual language he made famous during his tenure at Balenciaga, where fraying hems, eroded soles and garments that appeared half-finished became luxury codes in their own right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0eceb00-4087-4acd-bbb9-665f88d44941/clothes.png Features - From Scratched Gucci to Distressed Birkins, Why Are We Obsessed with Everything being “Lived-In”? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-internet-is-deads-guide-to-recording-a-podcast-from-your-bedroom-floor monthly 0.5 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ad92826-fdca-4297-b205-462281587a37/Screenshot+2026-02-23+at+16.26.35.png Features - The Internet is Dead's Guide to Recording a Podcast From Your Bedroom Floor Together, Brittany Deitch and Sameera Rachakonda are the creators and hosts of The Internet is Dead.

I want to have something to give. I want to exist forever,” says the disembodied voice of artist and filmmaker Barbara Hammer, in the documentary Barbara Forever, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Brydie O’Connor in her feature debut, the film chronicles Hammer’s journey into her lesbian identity at the age of 30 and how her queer desire, coupled with second-wave feminist thought and avant-garde filmmaking, would inform an immense body of work comprising over 80 films. Few images are as evocative as one of a person crying in a library, remembering the person they loved and lost. Barbara Forever begins by showing Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library's acquisition of Hammer’s work, positioning archival affirmation as significant for preserving lesbian history. The camera follows Hammer’s longtime partner, Florrie Burke, as she walks through the collection, admiring Hammer’s art. The institutional documentation and dedication to Hammer’s memory and artistic ethos accentuate that what Hammer accomplished is no small feat in a world where both experimental filmmaking and lesbian identity are less visible in mainstream cinema. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c75edf74-c16f-402b-be1a-ec92043d0a93/Barbara+2.jpg Features - 'Barbara Forever': the Sundance Documentary Highlighting Lesbian Love as an Enduring Cinematic Endeavor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/future-of-film-is-filthy-femme-filth-short-film-festival-founder-and-filmmakers-talk-confidence-shame-and-body-horror monthly 0.5 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bf058f8d-8f2c-4738-bf03-f74ddc7893ed/filth1.png Features - Future of Film is Filthy: Femme Filth Short Film Festival Founder and Filmmakers talk Confidence, Shame and Body Horror As women, we learn shame young. But that shame we carry isn't ours, and not questioned enough, which is exactly what makes a festival like this one feel so urgent. I only know that now because of women like Abby Wright, the founder of the Femme Filth Festival, and Aimee and Danielle, two writer-directors whose films screened at the festival in Los Angeles from January 9-11, 2026. The lobby before the screenings felt exceptionally open. Anyone could walk up to anyone and skip straight past small talk. It carried the same energy as a bar bathroom, where women who have never met instinctively look out for each other. There was a shared ease in being around women who are not ashamed of who they are - their bodies, desires, fears, even insecurities. It was such a well deserved break for any of us tired of the clean-girl lore, which is so obsessed with “purity” that the only women they care about empowering are white. Being together like this helps metabolise our collective shame that doesn’t belong to any of us. And I find it necessary, healing, and radical to bring each other into the light like this - grotesque and beautiful and funny and romantic and intelligent - to chase away the internalised male gaze that has taught us to hide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9ea6987-a898-4ba6-9944-511591ed6055/film.png Features - Future of Film is Filthy: Femme Filth Short Film Festival Founder and Filmmakers talk Confidence, Shame and Body Horror - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lean-cat-savage-cat monthly 0.5 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d81d579e-0065-4d77-ae52-b1c965b9ed8e/lean+cat+savage+cat.png Features - Exclusive Extract from Lean Cat, Savage Cat with Introduction by Writer Lauren J Joseph “Have you ever been possessed? So passionately in love, or so overwhelmed with grief, so fixated on a project that you lose yourself entirely? Charli, the protagonist of “Lean Cat, Savage Cat”, is in just such a state of triangulated obsession. She’s head over heels with her charismatic and somewhat sinister lover, Alexander, she’s pouring all of her energy and talents into his career in order that she might avoid the thing she cannot face. Naturally such a set up does not make for an easy ride, especially when Charli rather impulsively follows Alexander to Berlin. There amongst the flaming creatures of bohemian self-creation and self-destruction alike she has to navigate a unfamiliar landscape of bruised egos and mercenary doppelgängers. This is a book about excess, addiction, sexual psychosis. It’s also a love story, haunted by the spectral presence of David Bowie. It’s a story of queer counterculture’s ongoing struggle against appropriation and a commemoration of the trans women whose influence was whitewashed out of the history of rock’n’roll. It’s also horny af. There is no cutting away to the curtains when Alexander and Charli get down to it, no. “Lean Cat, Savage Cat” represents a rejection of the cultural conservatism our era seems determined to force on us. It is raucous and expansive and I hope you will enjoy reading it.” - Lauren J Joseph Read our exclusive extract from Lean Cat, Savage Cat below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/087ee511-4e18-4e5a-9371-b9a4b3f183f7/lauren1.png Features - Exclusive Extract from Lean Cat, Savage Cat with Introduction by Writer Lauren J Joseph - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jennette-mccurdy-cover-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a1f1f1fb-ec4d-47eb-b5ca-d3ccbe0bdf32/Jenette+McCurdy+Polyester+zine+cover+February+2026.jpg Features - Jennette McCurdy on Researching Adolescence, Obsession and Half His Age Publishing an age gap novel as your debut fiction offering in the year of 2026 is not for the faint of heart. With the internet at large deeming age gaps immoral regardless of if the couple are of consenting age and social media debating on a near daily basis as to the power dynamics at play when a couple differs in age, Jennette McCurdy has once again proven herself as a writer that is unafraid of tackling societal taboo. In an era of sanitised girlhood and curated celebrity overshares, McCurdy’s first book - I’m Glad My Mom Died, a warts and all recollection of life as a child-star and fraught familial dynamics - sold over three million copies, proving an appetite for a more honest depiction of our experiences. With her first novel, McCurdy leans in even harder - Half His Age is less interested in moralising the teacher-student relationship at the heart of the novel, and more concerned with cutting to the emotional truth of what it means to be a teenage girl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1a7e51b9-2d8e-4442-8dea-b1159819f0d5/012826_JM_Polyester10226+1.jpg Features -

Wuthering Heights: The Best Versions From Around the World Whether you’re cursing the day the film released, or you got your opening day compact mirror, tote bag, tea blend, Charli XCX vinyl etc…, you are bound to have an opinion on or know someone else’s opinion on Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights”. The cheeky quotation marks in the title are a tacit admission of the radical departures from Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights, but Fennell is merely the most forthcoming of the myriad adaptations. Her film is in the grand tradition of Wuthering Heights adaptations that take radical departures from the novel. Between the pages, directors of the big and small screen have all put their own spin on the story. Below, we track the best and worst of Brontë takes all the way up to Fennell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d6693cc-b0af-4056-872d-9a465e6e521a/e5f66ce6-094c-405c-9959-e29acfe295cc.jpeg Features - Wuthering Heights: The Best Versions From Around the World - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinecism-if-i-had-legs-id-kick-you monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/472d5969-4284-4acb-bcb4-8ea312bc7665/broey+1.png Features - Cinecism: The Crisis of Millennial Parenting in ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’ In a sweeping year-end wrap-up for Indie Wire, David Ehrlich made note of a particular theme that seemed to dominate the film oeuvre of 2025: the crisis of parenting in a futureless world. This phenomenon can be attributed, writes Ehrlich, in part to a generation of filmmakers who have somewhat recently become parents, and in part due to the way that everybody seems to have “found themselves haunted by the prospect of creating new life at the end of history.” While Ehrlich points to a number of films that are concerned with this crisis, I’d venture that the unique vision of hell painted by Mary Bronstein in her sophomore feature, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, more viscerally captured the horrors of our time than any other film of last year. If I Had Legs was one of two films last fall to depict the frayed edges of motherhood. The other was Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, which centres on Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a new mother living in isolation and struggling to maintain her grip on reality. But Ramsay’s hesitance to fully lean into her source material, and her impulse to place undue focus on Jennifer Lawrence’s beauty, transforms post-partum psychosis into an oddly “sexy” affair. I was thus eager for something a bit uglier, and If I Had Legs delivered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8cd33cb-6995-437c-a12a-e7b6fd239834/broey+2.png Features - Cinecism: The Crisis of Millennial Parenting in ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/a-winter-with-brittany-murphy monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e08685a-61bf-47c9-b69a-3135c5c276e6/Brittany+.jpg Features - A Winter with Brittany Murphy I attended a birthday party the other night with a light Y2K theme. Though I’m an admirer of early 2000s culture, I don’t own any clothes that are traditionally “Y2K,” so I settled on slacks and my Brittany Murphy sweater, which I bought for $25 with an Etsy gift card. When I arrived to the party, I thought the sweater would be a hit; but no, two people even asked me “Who’s Brittany Murphy?” I didn’t know how to answer the question: “Who’s Brittany Murphy? How could someone ask that?” But then I remembered that not everyone had been spending the last two months trying to watch every single movie she was ever in, wanting to make sense of this actress and how she met such a tragic fate. I responded by saying “You know, from Clueless? Girl, Interrupted?” to which the person made an expression of mild recognition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4f29b026-fb23-41e4-87fc-0e374dbef5cb/brittany+1.png Features - A Winter with Brittany Murphy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/staying-hungry-for-foidslop monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1d59f79-8026-4d8a-aa54-478a73e934f8/collage.png Features - Staying Hungry for Foidslop: On Purposefully Enjoying the Media Incels Mock The incels have done it again! Well, not it, much to their dismay. While they categorically can’t get laid, we have to hand it to them: They sure can come up with (or at least adopt) a crafty term. They’ve brought us “mog,” “normie,” and “Chadlite,” to name a few—meaning when a man dominates another man with his good looks or general superiority, an average “boring” person and a “moderately attractive man,” respectively—the list goes on. (If you want a laugh you can read the incel glossary in its entirety on IncelsWiki, which I braved for the purpose of researching this essay because I am a Journalist.) The newest addition to their colourful, disturbing lexicon is set to be a defining word of 2026. The first time I came across “foidslop,” it immediately cemented itself in my brain. My eyes zeroed in, the rest of the sentence blurred, and I couldn’t help but scan it over and over. “Brilliant,” I concluded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93465787-5411-4a28-a055-f473d010bc09/collage3.png Features -

Black Lines of Code: Room Themes Explored - Make it stand out Black Lines of Code is an ongoing exhibition and cultural programme exploring Black identity within games, virtual worlds, and emerging digital technologies. Delivered by The Ebonix Foundation C.I.C., the exhibition examines how Blackness is designed, coded, represented, and experienced across digital spaces. When it took place at Copeland Gallery, Peckham (11 – 20 December 2025), the exhibition blurred the boundaries between art, technology, and identity—inviting audiences to experience how Black creatives are rewriting the visual language of virtual worlds. The exhibition became a space for reflection, celebration, and cultural rewriting and reclamation through technology. It was never meant to be experienced passively, but designed as a journey and reminder of what’s possible, that mirrors the ways in which many of us have moved through digital spaces over time, from curiosity, to frustration, to reclamation, to possibility. Each room holds a distinct theme, but together they tell a single story about presence, authorship, and what happens when Black creativity is allowed to exist without limitation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4eaa576a-1ffa-4c9b-ba31-e331e2617c95/collage1.png Features - Black Lines of Code: Room Themes Explored - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/forging-a-crip-model-of-transition monthly 0.5 2026-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9b6e591c-e1af-42eb-9f74-52900a19531f/healthcare1.png Features - Forging a Crip* Model of Transition This past week, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments about the legality of prohibiting trans women and girls from competing in women’s sports. As media outlets - and even one of the virulently transphobic justices making the decisions - are beginning to realise, the outcome will affect not just trans rights as a whole but also the rights of cis women as it would require sex verification of women to ensure they can participate in sports. This type of genetic testing and genital inspection is not only invasive, it’s a form of eugenics that shows how transphobia is intrinsically tied to ableism in the United States. In America, transphobic and ableist legislation, policy, and violence are both centered around the nationalist project of the “good body.” Within a Christian nationalist system, a good body is one that serves the state, one that satiates (not supersedes, and especially not one that challenges) the bodily standards set by and to serve authoritarian regimes. For transgender and disabled individuals, their (our) bodies cannot and do not fit within the fascist system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c678a9d1-8cd2-44dc-805c-0ff9ccbb3afc/healthcare2.png Features - Forging a Crip* Model of Transition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/you-dont-know-me-the-celebrity-documentarynbsp monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d51f869f-2539-403b-af00-cf7fc36f2e19/WhatsApp+Image+2026-02-05+at+5.15.03+PM+%281%29.jpeg Features - You Don’t Know Me: The Celebrity Documentary Propaganda Complex&nbsp; I resisted the three-part documentary Victoria Beckham on Netflix for weeks, until I finally caved. Following its release in February, I will probably also refuse and then later consume the six part documentary: Being Gordon Ramsey. There are countless others in the running stream of personal narrative documentaries, too: Pamela: A Love Story (2023), Being Eddie (2o25), Beckham (2o23), Take That (2026). And perhaps the most insidious iteration MELANIA, released in 2025 by Amazon MGM studios. Distinct from the scandal documentary, these recent films are often affectionately or colloquially named to assume the viewer’s familiarity. Occasionally they do portray complex stories. For example, A Love Story reveals that Pamela Anderson’s life has been splintered by childhood trauma, as she describes being a sex symbol and in her own words feeling like ‘something else’. Often though, as I’ve watched a few of these films, I sense I’m being worked upon and some other motive lingers in my periphery. The celebrity documentary has largely become an intervention and instrument to serve or pivot the media narrative surrounding an individual. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1cfac379-69e9-481f-988e-c11c0d2a52d3/WhatsApp+Image+2026-02-05+at+5.15.03+PM.jpeg Features - You Don’t Know Me: The Celebrity Documentary Propaganda Complex&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-january-2026-horoscope-pjpds monthly 0.5 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0159331-f038-4167-9d06-c97db093b52e/feb.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope Welcome to the pressure cooker that is February. A once-in-a-lifetime month that will, to put it gently, show us what we’re made of and where there’s room for growth. The Full Moon in Leo on February 1st is loud and dramatic, demanding loyalty to the values we hold true. Uranus stations direct in Taurus on February 3rd, making multiple squares to Aquarius placements this month, so expect disruption anywhere that stability has replaced integrity. Uncomfortable and inconvenient truths will emerge, and global demonstrations will continue. Mercury shifts into Pisces on the 5th, followed by Venus on February 10th, which should be a nice reprieve for the artistically inclined and may soften some of the intensity of the present moment. Saturn ingresses into Aries on February 13th until 2028, challenging us to take full responsibility for our own destinies - not as an act of isolation, but as a prerequisite to contribute meaningfully to the collective future. The Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse on February 17th is about metamorphosis. What safety or familiarity are we willing to forego, in order to expand into the truest, most authentic and liberated versions of ourselves? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0975110-8128-4922-9c4b-1961e19c947f/maraschino.webp Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/789b321e-160f-472b-be0e-ceeee394f517/aries1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/72d8834d-9e77-45fd-b42b-22d8ba697a0e/taurus1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b51d547-a68b-45b5-a83c-6198fa50ad59/gemini1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a1a3ed1e-44c5-4bf4-af62-fb32d8610704/cancer1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94819105-4c10-4e24-ac18-a4012b82a1e6/leo1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae2a950f-3ff2-422a-8bb6-587735a0dfa9/virgo1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4f5d82aa-641e-4324-9712-0e51ab946d99/libra1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bdc183b8-6828-4fb5-a7d1-8a0663609d33/scorpio+1_.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4e53907a-a717-4c9b-b94e-cc380a0af85f/sag1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27cc9bba-5e16-4ddd-a40c-2a7c75af6d28/capricorn1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d78d2e1c-f1cc-4d6b-aa47-eb74c67b3e02/aquarius1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e6ee6239-7e68-478e-bcee-c1e9265af2df/pisces1.png Features - Maraschino’s February 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/oh-mary monthly 0.5 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27e1c9a8-208a-4110-8f59-ebb81c1320e9/om+27+%281%29.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London Cole Escola’s Oh Mary! has swept Broadway for the past couple of years with not just its unflinching dedication to silliness and historical inaccuracy, but also its rotating cast of queer icons taking up residency in the lead role of Mary Todd Lincoln. The lead spot has seen Jane Krasinski, Titus Burgess and Jinkx Monsoon (twice) take charge. When the show was announced for a West End production, rumours whirled over who would lead London’s debut. After being announced, it felt inevitable that Mason Alexander Park would be our inaugural Mary. Speaking to them backstage, it seems it was - the actor who has been ruling the West End for a while now, was approached by production to see if they were down to clown. Honoured to be asked, Park felt it was fated that they already had the space in their schedule to do six months as the leading lady of civil war America. Watching the show, it truly feels like it was in the stars for Park, as they deliver a performance dripping with reckless abandon. Invited for an exclusive look into the backstage process, however, impressed on us that this hasn’t all happened by chance. This is a seasoned performer taking the time to deliver on an excellent script and below, you can join us through the steps that go into ensuring their audience has one of the funnest theatre experiences of their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21863314-6884-4277-af94-36f461f111b5/om+final12.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc3e7b6f-4dae-428b-90e1-9e30dcfbaae6/om+final.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19ced756-4546-4f05-9c2d-902c97ca6808/om+final2.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2cfd8fd8-2622-4b36-ace0-1ac35249fd77/om+final+26.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9b6bda0a-97d5-4653-ac18-364a3f3e8d97/om+final+15.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27b6d7ee-8231-489b-b6bb-3fe5cb6529fb/om+20.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ca05f75-b22a-4ffa-912b-8bdd57c7869e/om+final14.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e93e973c-cf14-4996-9089-f387dd4d98f0/om+final+3.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bf52842d-91b3-4642-ac93-7537381bdbba/om+final+6.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/802c504f-b77c-4376-97bf-c881cd4fb4d9/om+final+9.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f9386ba6-882c-414c-9c48-e06ac8e90f14/om+18.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0111edd8-23c4-43c8-86d4-63a1586920f2/om+22.jpg Features - Exclusive Behind The Scenes of Oh Mary! in London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/my-night-my-time-inspired monthly 0.5 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/45e074e3-4195-4051-9da7-e7e26b4f5118/12.jpg Features - This Editorial Brings Icy Glam to an Indie Sleaze Inspired Night Time Continuing with our mini beauty shoots inspired by Sky Ferreira’s “night time, my time” Grace Ellington and I worked with Christall on dreamy twilight shoot in Peckham.

Kids, Mama is on her way home, and she’s gonna take care of us all! Jennifer Lawrence, the star, the diva, the mother is back! Kind of. Maybe. I have to say, I was never a Jennifer Lawrence girly. I was slightly too old for The Hunger Games (2012), never saw any of her David O. Russell collaborations like Silver Linings Playbook (2012) or Joy (2015), and I wasn’t a fan of her brand of overly-relatable goofy-girl-makes-it-big celebrity persona. I prefer my stars to be glamorously untouchable and unknowable, somewhere between Recluse Garbo and Cannibal Kidman. I did, however, love Mother! (2017) - a controversial opinion, will revisit later - and her charisma has always been magnetic (hello Hot Ones), so I was excited to see Jennifer make her big cinematic comeback with a weighty character-driven showcase like Die My Love (2025). Co-written and directed by Lynne Ramsay (We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) is a masterpiece), Die My Love is a psychological drama about a woman experiencing severe post-partum depression and psychosis in rural Montana, and I… did not like it very much. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39fc4bcd-dcd8-4cdf-94dd-2adca56452fa/cs+mother+copy+%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Is Jennifer Lawrence the Greatest Actress of Her Generation? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/swag-gaps monthly 0.5 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab6e1cf9-0ab5-44dd-b038-ac226a61e453/swag+gap+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Why is Everyone Talking about Swag Gaps? I don’t remember when I first learned the term “swag,” but I know that ever since it entered my lexicon — likely influenced by 2000s rap, a young Justin Bieber’s lyrics, and Tumblr memes — I’ve understood what it encompasses. There isn’t really one archetype of what “swag” can be, because we all have our own quirks that distinguish us. But true, innate swag is undeniable. It radiates from those who effortlessly wield it — so much so that it’s irrefutable when there’s an evident swag gap between those in a relationship. I’ll rewind a bit, for the sake of introducing the term. Within the current dating sphere, there’s a rising discourse about the “swag gap.” Height and salary gaps have long been discussed as common dealbreakers within relationships. Some people don’t want to stray from their non-negotiables, and that’s more than warranted. But what is a swag gap — and can it be overcome? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a720d3b0-b6f4-4a89-bd2f-b9b22a091487/swag+gap+site+collage+2.jpg Features - Why is Everyone Talking about Swag Gaps? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fat-anna-wintours-fashion-squeeze-brands-to-follow monthly 0.5 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/37020708-08ad-43b5-ac30-0f2d169f055e/fat+anna+wintour+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Creative Brands You Need to Follow and Nurture A new year brings so much pop culture promise. Which celebs will rise to the status of fashion darlings? What internet-breaking runway moments are in store? Who will go on a press tour with annoying interviews but good fashion? I don’t know. And, to be honest, none of these things really matter when the daily news feels like a slideshow of horror upon horror. The couture shows going on this week are beautiful, yes. (Looking at you, Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli and Jonathan Anderson for Dior!) But there is something very, very jarring about photos of celebs clad in finery sandwiched between reports of violent, oppressive governments.

Situated in the foothills of Appalachia, the program had all the pastoral signals of healing, except it relied on isolating students from family, peers, and the outside world. As users on social media collectively reminisce about ten years ago, I’m experiencing these cultural signifiers with a fresh lens. Some references I understand, and others never made it past the watchful eyes of our therapists and clinical team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/215109af-8c69-4307-b1d0-d0a8f182ee8a/Sophie+2016+site+collage+2.png Features - Experiencing 2016 for the First Time as Someone Who Couldn’t Access Pop Culture Then - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/will-we-ever-move-past-2016 monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea6c2a33-0295-4bb7-a124-63c3eb8d22b3/Zefang+2016+site+collage+1.png Features - Will We Ever Move Past 2016? Before the 2026 New Year's countdown even started, DJ Snake and Major Lazer’s “Lean On” or Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” blasted from every third post on my Instagram feed. According to these uploads, always captioned along the lines of “2026 will be the new 2016”, there was not a single bad day in 2016. In fact, 2016 felt so awesome and perfect that it didn’t even need a rose-tinted lens to be romanticised, as the Instagram ‘Rio de Janeiro’ filter popularised during this period already cast everything in a cotton-candy hue. This morphed into a full blown trend which drove herds of millennials to post their 2016 throwback photos, laden with chokers and puppy-dog filtered selfies. However, some participants in the romanticisation of that period were Gen Z, whose cultural experience of the time was peripheral, as they were children. This is not an isolated case of Gen Z yearning for a past that they did not fully experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3416c78d-2c65-4f54-8f13-d717d7d5cbc1/Zefang+2016+site+collage+2.png Features - Will We Ever Move Past 2016? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/frida-wannaberger-on-her-new-show-the-dinosaur-tree monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c3c30e9-54d0-403a-931e-9b3e8c123991/Copy+of+FRIDA_W_1469_1.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out For Frida Wannerberger there is nothing like the experience of creating a painting. “There's something super magical about having an idea of something and then seeing it happen in front of your eyes,” she smiles. For years, painting provided the perfect outlet for her creativity - one that had just a single downside, the clothes she wore to paint. “I used to wear really ugly clothes, the ones that are too ugly to wear to the gym,” she laughs. For Wannerberger, the act of wearing ugly clothes didn’t sit right in her soul. As a child she loved dressing up and could never decide what to wear. “If there was a party at our house, I’d change outfits five times,” she remembers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e9e3987-203b-4c1a-9585-fcef38c7d0d0/FW013_Detail_2.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0dff5e7d-cc39-41a9-856a-236ec336b8e5/FW005.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5bedbcd-aa80-4b38-b977-09364f9884ea/FW003.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69b39f67-e8b0-4098-818c-fc79201a3c9f/FW012_Detail_7.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6df18d40-62dc-43f2-bbfd-68dd9afd655a/FW014_Detail_2.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c38524eb-32b9-4021-a996-d25295f209cd/FW001.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce86dab7-fc5e-4c55-aa03-e5152fc57fc5/FW006.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc3fb1e4-6736-49da-934a-7479cd579aaf/FW012_Detail_4.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2f480ae9-1884-46dd-ae9f-aef3d6a8533f/FW014.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dbad469b-2cad-482c-83c5-42d802c514fc/FW015.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bed23bb9-fbb8-474c-a680-24376beb9d4c/FW015_Detail_2.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9b29ecd6-82b1-425d-87f3-0764d9baf412/FW012.jpg Features - Frida Wannerberger’s ‘The Dinosaur Tree’ Explores Girlhood, Power, and Post-Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/buy-curious-jan monthly 0.5 2026-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5f096acf-bbbf-4a7c-ac3e-7185ffb4b827/Screenshot+2026-01-27+at+11.05.00.png Features - Buy Curious: What We’re Buying to Level Up Jan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/gn7m85hr95l8ak9pb6uzz3h2tc16d1 monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbb95cf1-55d8-4d3d-b588-58fa1ece0261/Image_20251215_0008.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful “Dream Baby Dream” is a fashion editorial about finding spaces to dream. In an age where algorithms anticipate our desires and social media flatters our attention into doom scrolling, where can we turn to for genuine escape and play? The editorial centres on Regan, who wears a ribbon top she made by hand acting as a quiet act of resistance through making. In a world of instant gratification and AI, working with your hands becomes a form of grounding a way to root yourself in something real. The surreal imagery that follows (Regan blindfolded with a bird perched on her hand) reminds us that strangeness and beauty are inseparable that dream require we close our eyes to what’s expected. “Dream Baby Dream” invites you into a world where creation becomes escape, where making something with your own hands opens a portal to imagine differently. It’s a reminded that we still have the power to build our own strange, beautiful worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/377f45b6-2715-450e-901a-281665470429/20251214_TEST_REGAN+%282%29.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02349732-dbd5-4d45-8e67-de3cb0eacd18/20251214_TEST_REGAN+%283%29.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3e74f44c-401a-463a-817e-fe7687a2df74/Image_20251215_0002.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Hat by: Yuval | Bloomers: Wendtt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff5b1e53-b484-4673-98f4-5b3b3476ed5c/Image_20251215_0010.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/131a94c4-6824-4417-8307-0e94df409c69/Image_20260102_0002.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/df5217d3-0523-44e9-973b-b024438e057c/Image_20251215_0012+copy.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42924874-527f-4160-8fa9-0f4a9a9ba6d1/Image_20251215_0009.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e0baba6-c90f-4e43-a951-c92d204fa2ca/Image_20251215_0011.jpg Features - ‘Dream Baby Dream’ is the Editorial Reminding You to be Strange is Beautiful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/birdie monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a3d4e6a6-e1bd-402d-9d0c-28067c156d14/birdies.png Features - Praise Odigie Paige on Her Short Film ‘Birdie’, Showing at Sundance and African Period Pieces “It's a 21-minute short and everyone I spoke to was like, ‘Don't make anything over 14 minutes, or it won't screen anywhere.’” Writer and director Praise Odigie Paige says this about her latest film, Birdie, a coming-of-age short film selected to screen at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. The film follows 16-year-old English (Eniola Abioro) and her sister, Birdie (Precious Maduanusi), as they wrestle with their blossoming womanhood alongside their melancholic reality as Nigerian refugees in 1970s rural Virginia. Their father is a soldier yet to return from the Biafran War, also known as the Nigerian Civil War, and so the women and their mother, Celeste (Sheila Chukwulozie), do their best to pass the time amid long, perennial days. Birdie presents a tender portrait of the paradoxical nature of teenage lounging: how peaceful and calm it can seem, yet how sorrowful and drab it becomes in the context of cultural displacement and migrant identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f91415d-37cc-4a2e-acef-1408d58a6e94/birdies+2_.png Features - Praise Odigie Paige on Her Short Film ‘Birdie’, Showing at Sundance and African Period Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/six-months-on-from-swedens-online-sex-ban-whats-the-impact monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2e6a8649-dec2-41c1-a507-41e5711062d0/camming+site+collage+1+colour+%281%29.jpg Features - Six Months on From Sweden’s Online Sex Ban: What’s the Impact? On 1 July 2025, Sweden enacted an amendment to their existing criminal code regarding sex work. Since 1999 the country has operated under the end-demand model, otherwise known as the Nordic model, where clients are criminalised and sex workers themselves are decriminalised. Now, the wording of the offence of buying sexual services has changed to the offence of buying sexual acts, so that online sex work falls under its remit. The purchase of live cam shows, where customers attend and tip, is now illegal in Sweden. So is the purchase of ‘customs’, where people request an OnlyFans creator to make something specifically for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95a08650-db52-483d-ac99-8edeb0a09388/camming+site+collage+2+colour+%281%29.jpg Features - Six Months on From Sweden’s Online Sex Ban: What’s the Impact? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/laura-palmer-died-for-our-sins monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/11697eb3-37d7-4fd2-b802-d931ec33d2f4/laura+palmer+1_.png Features - Laura Palmer Died For Our Sins We’re in the early stages of what can only be described as a Lynchian Renaissance. As the world backslides towards the cultural politics of the Reagan and McCarthy eras, audiences have been craving the perverted underbelly of Americana that only the works of David Lynch can bring. The surrealist’s death in the early days of 2025 only fanned those hungry flames, and for months now it’s been nearly impossible to walk into your local independent cinema without seeing his name on the marquee. As expected, the tributes have been dominated by Twin Peaks, Lynch’s biggest mainstream splash. It seems that when Lynch is remembered, Twin Peaks is what first springs to mind. A decades-spanning odyssey across the best and worst parts of small-town America, the show has had surprising cultural resonance even beyond red, white, and blue borders. The series famously has a massive presence in Japan, Latin America, and even Russia. But what drew these international audiences to a show so aggressively American that cherry pie is practically its mascot? The answer is simple: people resonate with a good martyr, and no martyr is quite as fitting for the end of the Reagan era as homecoming queen Laura Palmer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0195587-ce31-4bcb-9c75-626acc07cc39/laura+palmer+2_.png Features - Laura Palmer Died For Our Sins - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/gen-z-has-an-age-shaming-problem monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e36e86a2-9a09-412f-a31e-f29b0881ff50/age+2.png Features - Gen Z has an Age Shaming Problem As a girl, you become aware of the concept of age and how it relates to your worth around the time you learn to write your name. Old women in books are presented as evil hags who eat children; you hear your mom talk about how your poor cousin is still single at 22. At the same time, you’re asked things like “Don’t you want to be a big girl?” and told you are too grown-up to play mermaids at the pool. You go through your 13 Going on 30 phase. Then you blink, and it dawns on you that your capital diminishes if you’re not revered as playful and poreless (which happens the second you turn 26, according to Leonardo DiCaprio). The hourglass has been flipped. In 2024, The Substance sharply called awareness to society’s obsession and fetishisation of feminine youth, using body horror to convey how women go to war with themselves to grasp onto it, knuckles white. The film’s mainstream critical acclaim indicated audiences were inspired to reject these enforced core beliefs. Outside of entertainment, our lifestyles are growing less rigid (at least on paper) as generations pass. The age for reaching key milestones is steadily rising: In 1980, 71% of American women were married by 25; in 2021 it was 26%. While some communities have been heavily influenced by tradwifery, the expected timeframe for “settling down” is not as enforced as it was a few decades ago. Despite these signs of progression, the fear of aging is as prevalent as ever—and therein so is ageism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b11ab021-a0f1-4831-bff4-222933052192/age+1.png Features - Gen Z has an Age Shaming Problem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/isa-briones-cover-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8cdea925-4bfe-4478-bb70-6b83bb6e21ce/Isa+Briones+Polyester+zine+January+2025+digital+cover+v1.jpg Features - Isa Briones on In The Heights, Advocating For Herself and Playing a Controversial Character In a time where the main way to categorise a TV show is either as “viral” or “flop,” without much notice taken of genre or tone, The Pitt stands out. Appearing on American screens for the first time on 9th January last year, the graphic, fast-moving medical drama was an instant, cross-demographic hit, praised for its realism and clear, opinionated stance on the US hospital system - and now it’s back with season two within one year of airing season one’s finale. The ensemble cast has now started to sweep through award season - but I was able to catch up with Isa Briones, the self-confessed “musical theatre girly” who plays student doctor Trinity Santos, just before the Christmas break. She’s in Ohio, watching snow fall from the window behind her laptop screen at her partner’s house, and pleased for the pause from the high pace of rehearsing, blocking and filming the show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/17850874-5fbe-4d6c-8fc3-5af2753fde87/000350800005.jpg Features -

Are You a Good Villager or Is Your Idea of Community Performative? A New Year is now defined by three things: fireworks, eating twelve grapes under the table at midnight, and - the most recent addition - sharing a Notes app screenshot of your “ins” and “outs” for the months ahead. While these repackaged resolutions vary from person to person, one that frequently topped internet users’ “ins” lists this year is some variation of “showing up” or “being a good villager” - a reference to the idea that the people around you make up your ‘village’ and that you care for them in order to maintain a thriving ecosystem, even - or especially - when it’s inconvenient. At its core, it's a wonderful idea. It’s the perfect pushback against hyper-individualism and today’s “catch-up culture”, as it encourages us to be active participants in each other’s day-to-days rather than just recounting life events over the phone or coffee once every six months. It urges us to nurture our friendships and family relationships the same way we would romantic ones. Everybody stands to gain something from expanding personal care beyond just their intimate relationships: single people aren’t made to feel as though they “need” a significant other to receive support, and those in relationships are less likely to fall into co-dependency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/698bf5da-9d37-4b2e-9778-796814522536/villager+site+collage+2.jpg Features - Are You a Good Villager or Is Your Idea of Community Performative? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-i-love-la-finally-gets-influencer-culture-right monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b5655747-a61b-4aa5-adfc-2a8b14a92708/iloveLA+site+collage+1.jpg Features - How ‘I Love LA’ Finally Gets Influencer Culture Right No one understands the pitfalls of online fame better than Gen-Z. Just ask any of them to describe James Charles’ COVID-era mass cancellation, or Shane Dawson’s online banishment, and you’ll find that this generation is well-versed in how a star (or in this case, influencer) falls from grace. This is the sort of tabloid fodder that entertained previous generations in print, now playing out for Gen-Z in real time and in HD video on their phones. Gen-Z is intimately familiar with the ouroboros of fame, so it makes sense that major studios are intent on crafting moral parables out of influencer stories, though the timbre often feels off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c357f97d-c802-4546-8770-5c36a99503ff/iloveLA+site+collage+2.jpg Features - How ‘I Love LA’ Finally Gets Influencer Culture Right - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/behind-the-scenes-on-sedonas-new-music-video-hollywood monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f58185fe-7348-46c7-8874-63e1e01cb97f/__8_1554.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Los Angeles singer-songwriter Sedona describes her music - which blends Americana, pop, and rock in a fusion of mystery and nostalgia - as ‘pageant rock.’ Her latest foray into the genre is a music video for her new track “Hollywood.” There’s no one better suited to sing about Hollywood than Sedona: “I grew up with Hollywood. She's always been a bit of a tease, a real drag at times,” she reflects. “She's been my on again off again girl for years now. At this point, I'll admit I've come to really love her. But there's still times where I hate her.” Her relationship with the iconic district translates seamlessly in the song’s accompanying music video. Directed by London-based Sammy King, who Sedona notes is a “longtime collaborator,” the video depicts the glamour of showbiz - as well as its grimier underbelly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3d31c37-3f6e-4e2b-86ca-7697681fe997/__2_1560.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2826bb0d-7f60-4ca8-9400-40e1c4881cc6/_36_1562.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d4d554bf-9e4e-4ff2-90d2-740f181a7a60/_10_1588.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bcc75f05-5541-434d-a29c-909e23eecfb4/__4_1594.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f74d4fda-19be-4a17-866f-5630be5617ad/_15_1547.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff81b20e-f683-46f7-b0f3-0b6922656cba/Hollywood_Sedona_12.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/199bf3ac-bc4b-41f7-860e-cf414d04b624/__6_1592.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d74d6ad-4c92-4347-b98c-06715f6b0842/Photo+Jan+07+2026%2C+12+39+02+AM.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7a5e43dd-8310-4106-ac1c-8db1be015ded/Photo+Jan+07+2026%2C+12+39+02+AM+%285%29.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3be5a865-2cde-4109-8575-cc7a3bf2ab64/_20_1578.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6949247a-de5c-4508-90f7-031d4816ffe9/Hollywood_Sedona_2.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ecd78484-4e76-4ee5-8a4a-df5485715cb3/Hollywood_Sedona_5.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes on Sedona’s New Music Video “Hollywood” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/this-editorial-is-an-ode-to-2016-glam monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae1ead1c-e75f-4149-9f8a-41999fab23da/maliafinal12.jpg Features - This Editorial is an Ode to 2016 Glam A beauty story inspired by the impact of SKY’S DEBUT ALBUM “NIGHT TIME MY TIME” on the internet and the Tumblr generation that grew up resharing her imagery and music.

She conjures her crowd into a hypnotic groove, radiating the ferocity of Grace Jones while playing electric violin with the funk-soaked swagger of Bootsy. She swaps out a band for electronic gear, which she calls her ‘technology friends,’ then cuts shapes solo, with the electricity of Donna Summer, Debbie Harry or Tina. As a singer and songwriter, her pengame is deeply personal and charged, traversing with ease between bars and hooks, the exploration of Black identity and a sexually liberated lexicon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b776117d-1fa5-4dfe-b753-be446c8498dd/sudanxpolyester7.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9efa654a-22cd-4986-b918-20272c6f7edc/sudanxpolyester8.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ba9fab4-8a0a-43c0-8854-0e5b04335342/sudanxpolyester4.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/43f92f9b-1a36-4f10-8e7a-35ded41f47cd/sudanxpolyester6.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79af92db-f8db-415e-8b94-9e065a5887da/sudanxpolyester3.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c8a2ab7-ef32-4c5f-bace-363aa3476e83/sudanxpolyester2.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8974f02-8d30-4693-a417-28af4aad2a39/sudanxpolyester5.png Features - Gadget Girl: Sudan Archives on Playing Violin, Technological Liberation, and Collaboration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinecism-hamnet-is-a-weepie-gone-wrong monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e6eec9e8-e05a-4d19-abaa-60c8cf1d2dce/hamnet+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Cinecism: Hamnet is a Weepie Gone Wrong The films of my childhood were really fucking sad - little girls crying at the caskets of their friends; lions losing their fathers to stampedes; furry creatures flinging themselves into fiery cauldrons to save their friends. Tearjerkers for adults, like The Notebook and Marley and Me, were abundant as well. Yet in the past two or so decades the film vernacular, even that of the children’s film, became averse to tears. It’s got to the point that just recently I asked myself: where have all the weepies gone? So you can imagine how excited I was when Chloe Zhao promised to fertilize our barren film landscape with an adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell’s notoriously sad book, Hamnet. Finally, someone was excavating the weepie. Yet as I watched the film, tears yanked out of me by a relentless set of plot contrivances, I thought… maybe best we leave it underground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/efd425db-a411-4b8e-a71a-2e5c110f6676/hamnet+site+collage+2.jpg Features - Cinecism: Hamnet is a Weepie Gone Wrong - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/insights-on-labiaplasty-from-people-who-have-had-one monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b2def42-b4e4-42eb-ae98-6fdc82dee0b3/Collage+1.jpg Features - Insights on Labiaplasty From People Who Have Had One “I was seventeen,” Victoria* tells me, recalling one of her earliest sexual experiences. She had been dating a boy for a while when they decided to have sex. Afterward, as she went to pull her underwear back on, she noticed him staring at the soft bulge beneath the fabric. “I wasn't a fucking Barbie, it wasn’t completely flat. I remember him saying ‘Why does it look like that? What is that?’” This brief, cruel moment was one of the first memories on the list of experiences that led her to consider a labiaplasty. There were other influences, like the early porn consumption that convinced her “labias were basically supposed to not exist.” Ultimately, she ended up keeping the lips native to her body. The reasons behind her desire for a different vulva, though, speak to how young people with vulvas come to see their anatomy as flawed. A labiaplasty involves trimming and reshaping the tissue of the labia minora, or inner lips of the vulva. Beyond the surgical steps, there is the more nuanced terrain that I’m interested in: the motivations that push someone toward labiaplasty, and the forces that pull them back, since according to the most recent data (2023), the number of labiaplasties performed globally has nearly doubled in the last ten years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d6b2580-b414-4067-83be-3ba57aa79a5d/Collage+2+.jpg Features - Insights on Labiaplasty From People Who Have Had One - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-january-2026-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9035c067-9f05-42a5-998b-edcdca7265b3/6109435A-F169-4715-A472-764167F85DE7.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope Happy New Year. Welcome to a brand new era. There’s truly no turning back, no matter how many times we click our heels. The year kicks off with the Jupiter-blessed full moon in Cancer on January 3rd, gifting the collective with heightened emotional awareness around home, family, security, and what matters most. Strictly Business Capricorn is dominating the sky for the most part until mid-month, with a triple conjunction between the Sun, Venus, and Mars offering forward momentum in work, finances, partnerships, and shared goals. The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18th will trine Uranus in Taurus, adding a surprise or unorthodox twist to what unfolds at this time. On January 19th, the Sun strides into radical Aquarius, igniting an electrifying symphony of revolutionary conjunctions involving Venus, Pluto, Mercury, and Mars. On January 26th, Neptune will abandon its 14-year post in languid and oft-avoidant Pisces for incendiary Aries until 2039, posing the question: What dreams and ideals are we willing to fight for? Life as we know it is changing forever, and how it unfolds depends entirely on how we play our hand right now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0975110-8128-4922-9c4b-1961e19c947f/maraschino.webp Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bcf047b7-db01-40cf-9ba9-6e42b160ee07/aries.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24ce40ed-37c0-4f35-b2a6-6886cf50e0a2/taurus.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/337c7fe5-d197-4761-b368-543340e78ac5/gemini.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/44d644a7-6f97-4833-963f-582879b06fcf/cancer.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2fcd75a2-07ff-4fe1-a98c-df0eed210aaf/leo.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8df47cee-581a-48f5-8c36-9260811c04fb/virgo.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/afe11baf-9756-4ba8-a693-6b12edb94b2b/libra.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bf558511-ac26-4166-9d1c-47698c2c5794/scorpio.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/43b8d1c4-6cd1-463a-a1ea-738a6537e54d/sagittarius.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94141f1e-39fa-4866-b4df-eabc7f7d9cac/capricorn.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cfd01f73-0d60-4c0a-8b58-c21d881dec3b/aquarius.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c45486d-3b01-43d1-b916-d31f5987f557/pisces.png Features - Maraschino’s January 2026 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/traditional-chinese-medicine-is-the-next-big-beauty-trend-amp-why-its-important-for-geopoliticsnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7edb5e8a-97b9-447a-b7d0-0be5f8cba1b4/chinese+medicine+site+collage+1+%281%29.jpg Features - Traditional Chinese Medicine is the Next Big ‘Beauty Trend’: Why It’s Important For Geopolitics&nbsp; Every January first something strange happens to the people of the world. For the first four weeks of the New Year, we are all collectively called to arms by the battle cry that is ‘New Year, New Me.’ This mantra inspires the best (and possibly worst) in our society; from post-Christmas crash diets, to newly acquired pure gym memberships with aspirations to ‘lock in’ for 2026. And every new year, we are offered something new and shiny to (supposedly) make us the best versions of ourselves. Every New Year acts as a litmus test of what is ‘in’ and what is ‘out’ in health and wellness. A decade ago it was Veganuary, then all the O’s (Keto, Paleo, everything which is ‘low’ in something), and now everyone clutches to a bottle of Botivo while preaching the virtues of dry January. But this New Year, while we make our many resolutions, a revolution is mounting within the world of Western wellness in the form of Traditional Chinese Medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/91759bb5-d25e-4c9d-887a-7454c1c50f6f/chinese+medicine+site+collage+2.jpg Features - Traditional Chinese Medicine is the Next Big ‘Beauty Trend’: Why It’s Important For Geopolitics&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-fucktoys-annapurna-sriram-gives-birth-to-a-new-genre-of-cinema monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef5bd612-ab6d-45cc-9368-1c8c9e6fbfe1/lead.png Features - In ‘Fucktoys’, Annapurna Sriram Gives Birth to a New Genre of Cinema With her feature film debut, Fucktoys (2025), Annapurna Sriram does more than defy expectations about what a serious film should be; she gives birth to a new genre of cinema. While seismic shifts are happening to our governments, our climate, and our technology, we are trapped in a cinematic landscape that is plagued by remakes, reboots, and regurgitated ideas. Moviegoers are left starving for stories that are relevant to the changing world around us. An instant cult classic and a radical reimagination of what a movie can be, Fucktoys is the bubblegum grindhouse, neo-camp film of your wet dreams. Set in Trashtown USA, a post-apocalyptic city made of glitter, garbage, and abandoned dreams, Fucktoys follows AP, a sex worker who must break a curse that is plaguing her. In order to pay a psychic to perform the healing ritual, AP needs $1000 and a sacrificial lamb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b54cd8d8-cdb2-41db-928f-61ac8e36bc76/Annapurna_Polyester_Profile_2025-05.jpg Features - In ‘Fucktoys’, Annapurna Sriram Gives Birth to a New Genre of Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8d1b1e4-8987-47c9-b667-1f90e3332b0b/Annapurna_Polyester_Profile_2025-12.jpg Features - In ‘Fucktoys’, Annapurna Sriram Gives Birth to a New Genre of Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6a7ba152-30dc-457c-9541-be7c576c250d/Annapurna_Polyester_Profile_2025-23.jpg Features - In ‘Fucktoys’, Annapurna Sriram Gives Birth to a New Genre of Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc782373-3185-476c-995b-5878741736c4/Annapurna_Polyester_Profile_2025-17.jpg Features - In ‘Fucktoys’, Annapurna Sriram Gives Birth to a New Genre of Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d02a42a4-07d5-43dc-b6f8-b5e0bb61e2fc/Annapurna_Polyester_Profile_2025-24.jpg Features - In ‘Fucktoys’, Annapurna Sriram Gives Birth to a New Genre of Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-the-rise-of-dad-core-content monthly 0.5 2025-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9dc09f9a-8c33-46fd-b4a9-2bbeacaed435/image.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: The Rise of Dad-Core Content - Make it stand out Its a rainy day and I’m trapped indoors with little to do. Having recently moved to a city I’d never visited before for a new job, in a career sidestep I’d only ever fantasised about, I found myself isolated and a little homesick. Naturally, rather than do anything about that feeling, I decided to stare at my phone and doomscroll into the small hours. Amid that incessant blare of nostalgia bait content, dated pet videos and expensive interior design accounts I stumbled across a Reel of a dad talking to his daughter about a conversation he’d had with his wife. In the video he walks into his daughter’s room, beanie hat on, and repping an iconic suburban co-ord of ice-cream patterned shorts and a pristinely white Adidas polo shirt. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinecism-the-only-christmas-movies-that-matternbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36c394f6-54f2-4502-beab-0ac13d731275/cinecism+1_.png Features - Cinecism: The Only Christmas Movies That Matter&nbsp; Christmas movies occupy a strange space in the world of moviemaking. Sure, bottom of the barrel Hallmark slop gets churned out every year and, often, fades quickly into obscurity. But with a modicum of effort, a film could become a classic simply by virtue of habit. If you celebrate Christmas, these are likely the movies you will watch most in your life. They’re ritualistic, a second skin. For example, I can recite for you the entire scripts of numbers two and three on this list because my family watches them every Christmas Eve and Day respectively. The Christmas movie is one of those rare instances where adults will revisit children’s movies, sans children. One of the vestiges of a time where multiple generations would gather around the TV to share a piece of media. In the West, the Christmas movie is an unappreciated tool of power. It’s perennial, and thus, while we only watch it at a certain time of year, the messages it bestows can stay with you forever. So here is a roundup of my favourite Christmas films, which vary laughably in genre and even in relevance to Christmas, but which I try to watch every year to sink into that sometimes cozy, sometimes wistful, oft introspective Christmassy mood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0f4a4cbc-d9cd-422c-b437-784789bba974/cinecism.png Features - Cinecism: The Only Christmas Movies That Matter&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/london-launch-2025 monthly 0.5 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/864cd810-4461-4ea5-aef7-385bf0c08300/Danid%27Ingeo_PolyesterIssueLaunch_161225_16990026.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes at Our London 2025 Anthology Launch - Make it stand out Earlier this week we celebrated the 2025 Anthology launch at home in London <3 We threw a party on the roof at Forza Wine Peckham, with bespoke cocktails courtesy of East London Liquor Co. and held a fabulous runway contest judged by Rose Gray, Camille Charierre, Lea Oglunami, Rene Matic, Grace Ellington and Katy Cutbirth (with prizes from Adidas, Lily Vanilli, FaceGym, Miista and more!).

Shakira Khan on Love Island, High School Musical and South Asian Representation Shakira Khan isn’t your average reality star. Along with her co-contestants Yasmin Pettet and Toni Laites, this summer the 23-year-old from Burnley broke the Love Island mould, their one-liners and sharp observations about villa life (“If I speak, I am in big trouble,” said Shakira at one point of the relationship between two of her fellow Islanders) winning more hearts and minds than Princess Diana in her prime. Since emerging from the show after coming second, Shakira has taken to life on social media like a natural, sharing everything from her unexpected music taste (she’s an Oklou girlie) to her down-to-earth pyjama party birthday celebrations - a far cry from the usual influencer-at-the-Shard vibe we’re used to from Love Islanders. We sat down with her to hear about what happens behind the scenes on the UK’s biggest reality show, plus her past as a kids’ party performer, and South Asian representation on TV and online. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/949929bd-f3f2-4fd3-bf4a-a7769c215cd4/SK12.jpg Features -

Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again If the female body is a temple, the female form has also never been sacred. We’ve been simultaneously worshipping and weaponising it in the same breath; idolising and policing the figure without even joining the payroll. We cancelled the Victoria’s Secret fashion show for promoting unattainable standards, then erupted when it pivoted towards inclusivity. We traded “heroin chic” for an Ozempic pandemic. Half of us view sexually-charged silhouettes as male-oriented objectification, while the other half see them as feminist liberation. As we debate whether our obsession with the feminine silhouette is oppression or empowerment, we make fashion an inevitable scapegoat. Contradiction, it seems, is the only constant condition of femininity. Few designers make work that embodies that paradox more vividly than Erik Charlotte. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/74bc9c8e-44e5-4d65-8201-24fbff7c75a6/Erik+Charlotte+04.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/682db8af-c7fa-46da-8c23-28f6e3d7f8af/Erik+Charlotte+06.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b12486ea-65dc-4747-a227-063443e910e1/Erik+Charlotte+08.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21dd5829-d3e9-4f61-97c0-010db207995d/Erik+Charlotte+03.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/47b59c92-5150-4aa8-97ae-a2a212cd2168/Erik+Charlotte+10.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc83e89a-d3cf-418c-ac90-1068b205b1c6/Erik+Charlotte+11.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/89e58366-3239-4299-927a-4e0de693fe4a/Erik+Charlotte+13.jpg Features - Erik Charlotte’s Eponymous Brand Makes the Female Form Fun Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fat-anna-wintours-fashion-squeeze-2025-was-the-year-of-selling-out monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e75fe574-cd6d-47b6-86ae-b37023d0621a/selling+out+1_.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: 2025 Was The Year of Selling Out - Make it stand out There’s something in the air. Everyone is selling out. Selling out has been on my mind a lot recently, not least because I graduated last year and so it’s time to stop living in the art school world - where being political and provocative is encouraged - and time to enter the real world, where sociopathy is encouraged. While navigating art vs business has always been a torturous ordeal for creative people, it seems to me like more people are selling out than ever. Is it really a surprise? Look at where we are. Widening wealth gaps. Housing crisis. Late stage capitalism which thrives on the mantra: eat or be eaten. Everyone has parents they want to help retire, loved ones they care about and want to keep safe, or a goal to be secure and maybe just… enjoy life? And, terrifyingly, the threshold for that is looking higher and higher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59751f15-ee4b-402e-a942-cd6875858ee3/selling+out+2.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: 2025 Was The Year of Selling Out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/new-york-launch monthly 0.5 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1768223629326-3XFPVTYR9V0ECHCQJSFT/Kristina_Shakht_P_03.jpg Features - Our Best Moments from Our New York Anthology Launch! - Make it stand out Extra, extra, read all about it!

In June of 2025, 22-year-old model and content creator Ziora took to X like any other day. Amidst her scrolling, she saw photos featuring a statue that had been erected in Times Square looking exactly like her. It was a mid-sized Black woman in clothes similar to those in her modelling digitals, with a seemingly bare face. Ziora did what she usually does: make a joking tweet about how the statue copied her likeness and went about her day, thinking that any reactions to her post would come from a few of her mutuals laughing along. What she found instead was a wave of hate directed at her, belittling not only her body but also accusing her of being an unflattering representation for Black women as a whole. Ziora was taken aback, not just by the vitriol thrown at her, but also by the sheer number of people the tweet had angered. It escaped her Twitter community and, as people like to say, breached containment into the wider timeline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d93c4860-9ccb-4b73-a4b4-c8d70a62ca52/body+positivity+1.png Features - How 2025 Killed Body Positivity&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-december-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b6161e0-9297-4d8f-b43f-50afb253837c/Horoscope+Insta+-+Dec+1.jpg Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope Wow. Welcome to the grand finale of 2025. This will be another major month, with more revelations, reality checks, and wake up calls, sure to make for spicy and stimulating conversation at the holiday functions. The Sun in Sagittarius will bring the party until December 21st. There may be a few sinkholes at said party thanks to Saturn squares with multiple Sadge placements throughout the month, but if you know where to hang, you’ll have a good time. The full moon in Gemini on the 4th will be spritely and fun, and bring something you initiated back in May to a successful conclusion. When Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer smooch on the 6th, it’s a perfect moment to tell someone you love just how much they mean to you, play the lottery, or make something beautiful. Whatever you do, you’ll be lucky. Neptune stations direct in Pisces on December 10th, casting a few more spells before it heads into Aries next year. We love an exalted Mars in Capricorn for efficiency, productivity and stoic strength, and it’s lovely to see Mercury out of shadow mid-month. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th invites you to chart a course towards your truest North. When the Sun and Venus move into Capricorn on the 21st and 24th, the vibe shifts to a more calm, cool, and collected elegance, bringing a grounded close to an unfathomably bonkers year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e2fc5231-bd1a-45ee-9c27-652a672e5876/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.24.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/91e89073-a350-4754-ba4b-1bbb498e7b78/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.27.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8130c90f-90ec-4442-9278-2a160956446e/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.29.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aca101f5-1ae5-408f-ac28-b720915fb860/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.31.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31524e92-2251-4f57-bcfe-bce30b9a4a09/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.33.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb2ae41a-e667-437d-8730-05f398782189/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.35.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/86c5f8ea-94f9-4079-abd1-6883114a5b69/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.37.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52f2cda5-45fb-410e-8b7f-27ded081f06c/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.39.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/325bc959-d3c3-493f-8387-477d1c3f0f49/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.42.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dbb3a617-fe06-4b78-82fb-bf15b5ff633f/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.44.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cd63fc87-7492-45ff-8bea-b29b1e20f4ed/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.45.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/89d7abc7-bf90-43a4-b489-5d434f8faa07/Screenshot+2025-12-10+at+10.38.46.png Features - Maraschino’s December 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sky-ferreira-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e7b21d9-d83d-4d7c-80c3-d70482cdb146/Sky+Ferreira+Polyester+zine+cover+December+2025.jpg Features - Sky Ferreira on Songwriting, LA, and Her New Album - Make it stand out When your name is Sky Ferreira, there’s a great deal of lore that surrounds you. You were a wunderkind who made one of the most influential albums of the 2010s, inspiring scores of Tumblr teens to impose the words “everything is embarrassing” over greyscale digital camera images taken in the local park. You worked with David Lynch on a reboot of his most beloved project. Your unique musical style and private nature mean that you have become a rare enigma among a generation of celebrities who are constantly oversharing, a true successor to geniuses like Enya and Kate Bush. Oh, and your grandmother was Michael Jackson’s personal hairdresser. Over the years, Sky has become so many different things to so many different people, to the extent that even those who have interviewed her in the press have brought these projections to bear. Here, then, she simply speaks for herself. In conversation with her friend, the actor and comedian John Early (interviewed by Sky last year and returning the favour for Polyester now), she talks about her writing process, the album she’s working on, her love of Aaliyah, being a TV Person, and a bunch of other stuff you’d probably really love to learn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b904bd3a-17f4-445d-8903-6fb3055a7459/R0061500.jpeg Features -

Is The Eldest Daughter Trope Real? On Being A “Deadbeat Daughter” After a long and challenging day in year 7 - we had just learned about algebra - I flung my rucksack onto my kitchen table and peered into the fridge to see what my Mum had left for dinner. Empty. Very unlike her, but it happens; there's always frozen pizza and chips. I won’t starve. As my twelve-year-old self scurries around the kitchen, preheating the oven, pouring chips onto plates to measure them out and then back into the pan, I feel a presence behind me. “What’s for dinner?” “Mum didn’t cook today, so I’m just putting pizza in.” He frowns. “So?” “Pardon?” “So what if Mum hasn't cooked? You're twelve, you should be able to cook. I don't eat this rubbish food. Make something else.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35783138-6664-4e57-9ac1-d054e23d99ad/eldest+daughter+2_.png Features - Is The Eldest Daughter Trope Real?

So much has happened, yet it still feels like only yesterday that we were taking down New Year’s Eve banners and eagerly predicting Demi Moore’s Oscar win (don’t talk to me, it still hurts). I’d like to say that things have gotten better this year, but with the wisdom of continuous aging and the encroaching nihilism of my mid-30s, I’m not very sure that that would be a factual statement. When the 2020s started, we all laughed and said ‘How funny, it’s time for space-age flappers, never-before seen personal freedom, acceptance and peace! Nothing can stop us now! But, alas, here at the end of 2025, half way through the decade, all we have had is disease, war, and legal battles just to stay alive. Having said that, there were some personal highlights (or points of contention, maybe) in our vast cultural media experience, and I'd like to share them with you now. It’s time to strap in, have a glass of festive fizz, drag your frozen bones a little closer to those burning Harry Potter books, and be prepared to say “God, was that only this year, hasn’t it been such a long time… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1d05a2a-3ded-4b44-a3f1-f25f3e824216/round+up+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Women Who Ruled 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/toni-cornell-is-keeping-it-real monthly 0.5 2025-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cea5b584-4834-4976-b6ef-41805900cefa/toni-09.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Toni Cornell was just 12 years old when she stepped on stage to sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" alongside OneRepublic on Good Morning America. It was her first time singing on live TV, and millions tuned in across the US. It was a moving performance by any standard, but it was made remarkable by the fact that it was a tribute to her father, Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, who had died months earlier at the age of 52. Her mother had, understandably, been hesitant about letting her young, grieving daughter perform so publicly so soon, but Toni knew it was something she had to do. "I really felt it in my heart that I wanted to do it," she says. "I just thought that it was something that brings me closer to my dad." Now, she realises just how brave the decision was. "Looking back, I'm like, 'Wow!' It really kind of shows me my own strength," she says. "It's crazy. I don't even know if I would be able to do that now." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed5b6247-6e9e-4123-91a6-78bf46d0868a/toni-02.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a83f81ce-af5c-4e00-8620-3c58fb0d196f/toni-11.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af0869d9-ddcb-4e3d-ba52-c78f26a83e3e/toni+flash-3.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cdc88e15-5386-4fb1-93fb-6e8c22c569a0/toni+flash-6.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0f209db-e8e5-49a5-85c1-69efa0586dcd/toni-36.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19632500-0ab6-47ec-a58b-17e90da0e50b/toni-33.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1782af0f-5066-4fbf-8f89-6975649b522b/toni-20.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5aae431c-a667-4b8a-9929-eab9a9632f5d/toni-30.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b861e466-1179-4cde-9661-22827a296dc8/toni-40.jpg Features - Toni Cornell on Broadway, Grief, and Her Musical Path So Far - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/julia-jackmans-guide-to-creating-your-dream-film monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5b88fbd3-a0bc-448c-b663-c9e87d6a6105/Julia+Jackman+2.png Features - Julia Jackman’s Guide to Creating Your Dream Film - Make it stand out When Julia Jackman had the idea for 100 Nights of Hero, she wouldn’t have even considered herself as a filmmaker. She’d made a couple of shorts, but the title still felt out of reach - the kind of dream job that, ironically, only exists in the movies. Jackman was born in Edmonton, Alberta - a province in Western Canada. Although it was a fairly big city, it wasn’t an arts hub like Los Angeles or London. “I knew I wanted filmmaking to be part of my life as a passion, but I didn't think it was necessarily a way to make a living, because who does, you know?” says Jackman. Over the course of a decade though, Jackman began to make filmmaking her career. Starting with short films - like Emma, Change the Locks and Your Mother and I - all the way up to her newest film, 100 Nights of Hero - a queer, historical romance set in a fantasy world, starring Maika Monroe, Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, and Charli XCX. The film was Jackman’s white whale - the film she’d dreamed of making since she was starting out, but didn’t think she’d ever be able to. “If I’d waited until I felt qualified, I would have waited forever,” says Jackman. 100 Nights of Hero will be released on Feb 6th in the UK. In this guide, Julia Jackman takes us through her tips for taking your first steps into filmmaking, maximising your budget, and her guide to making your dream film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c6a270c-6228-4bc8-b893-7c0c3622893a/Julia+Jackman+1.png Features - Julia Jackman’s Guide to Creating Your Dream Film - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/allie-rowbottom-guide-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ca6ce36-f241-4a62-a2be-5a53028c6cba/Screenshot+2025-12-02+at+12.03.14.png Features - Allie Rowbottom's Porn Informed Guide to Going from Literary Starlet to Star - porn has taught her about writing.

Lovers XXX, forthcoming from Virago in June 2026. Cover Design by Sophie Ellis. Lovers XXX tells the story of Winnie and Jude, best friends embarking on careers as adult film stars in the early 1980s. The novel is the product of my lifelong obsession with how women survive (and sometimes thrive) within systems created to oppress us. Perhaps also my lifelong propensity for provocation, which in my adulthood has manifested as a compulsion to apply a literary lens to subjects that seem, on their face, un-literary, for little reason other than they concern women pursuing occupations or taking stances that some might think lowbrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1764677169706-EVVOBIS0LDSUGNXDV54H/hardback-flatlay_grid2.jpg Features - Allie Rowbottom's Porn Informed Guide to Going from Literary Starlet to Star - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/justgirlythings-is-a-throwback-to-2011-tumblr-culture monthly 0.5 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/004e2c61-3b24-4781-9b0e-90846ff1387f/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_08.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture #JUSTGIRLYTHINGS started as a blog on Tumblr in 2011- a time when the allure of virality held a certain appeal, a sense of gravity. Where our current culture demands newness, leaving creators scrambling to find the hottest new take, the best new idea - #JUSTGIRLYTHINGS refused to conform - asking instead ‘what is the most “universal” girly thought that anyone could relate to?’ A like was listening to the same song on repeat. A reblog was enjoying the taste of Lemon Tea Snapple. A follow was smelling pine trees in December as a reminder of opening presents. This series is a #tb to a time where joy was neither a privilege nor an act of resistance but a common state of being. Post-recession digital natives could do with some of that joy again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2db24b28-a9d8-4cda-aa4e-deb72f85c23f/_JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_010.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bfa1355-ac46-4956-a61b-944820a978e4/Screenshot+2025-12-02+at+11.50.58.png Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e5d972b-6da8-4920-8cda-daa9bc75663b/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_03.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e24e6df2-daf3-4113-8d72-7a69c6a099e0/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_02.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/984ce75e-01ed-4663-8b19-115e85265b85/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_09.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4594b805-9ae0-4dd3-8c54-833c67df4ac6/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_011.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3ba4a12-a9ab-4f79-919e-f4ef503aa279/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_06.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a81ee2af-a8f6-4b12-9488-d40e49c74734/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_07.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61540199-50ad-4a13-934e-d2dd02f34e5a/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_04.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1f0bce2-e139-420c-a006-eeb05d5c4633/%23JUSTGIRLYTHINGS+IN+QUEENS_05.jpg Features - #Justgirlythings is a Throwback to 2011 Tumblr Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fat-anna-wintours-fashion-squeeze-the-biggest-trend-of-2020s-fashion-is-cheap-dopamine monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35d3d675-027c-43d1-b558-d5dc1c4a8ce6/Fat+ANNA+1.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: The Biggest Trend of 2020s Fashion is Cheap Dopamine I’ve recently become obsessed with Vinted. (I know, where have I been?) But instead of buying clothes, what’s really got me is accessories. Bedazzled vintage necklaces at £10 a pop. Jewellery found in a charity shop repackaged with buzz words like “rockstar gf” and “y2k”. The excitement of finding a gem, contributing to the circular economy and not hurting your wallet. Win-win-win! Until you realise you’ve collectively spent £200. The short-lived high created by buying these cheap trinkets got me thinking… does this explain the popularity of bag charms? Like lipsticks and perfumes before them, bag charms are a relatively cheaper way to buy into a luxury brand, while still obtaining that dopamine hit.

Throughout her career, she’s been lucky enough to be taken under the wing of some older legends - Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin and Martin Short and Tracy Morgan to name just a few: “‘What was consistent across the board was that they really reinstated in me that I was special, and that I really had a gift.” She tells me over Zoom. “They really showed support and motivated me and inspired me.” With guardian angels already present in her life, it’s perhaps no wonder that she’s ended up playing one in her latest film Eternity (2025). While the main focus of the film is the love triangle that forms when Elizabeth Olson’s Joan is reunited with her husbands Larry (Miles Teller) and Luke (Callum Turner) in the afterlife, it’s Randolph and co-star John Early - who Randolph gushes about, describing him as “lovely and so unique” - who frequently steal the show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4fc8efcd-ee18-4040-b8fc-73f4e504ca4f/DSC_6783R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Dress: Jonathan Marc Stein | Cape: Gert-Johan Coetzee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/898b6429-4943-4540-8dd4-123042e60326/DSCF8465R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Earrings: House of Emmanuele https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9fc998af-b2fb-4a54-aff7-75160f39090c/DSC_7492R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/287e934a-5a35-4107-a589-c50c0cb985ce/DSC_7411R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Top: Blackwood Castle | Dress: Selkie | Jewellery: IVAR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49b323e5-5f5e-4421-8e4b-0ee1b772039e/DSC_7254R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Dress: Blackwood Castle | Jewellery: IVAR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3042647d-0296-4ec6-ab33-a62575da20e3/DSC_7412R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4c9f5cff-57e7-43f3-aa7a-dc696e99b7aa/DSC_6727R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Jewellery: IVAR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e2218e74-e9a4-4664-9388-bc8c9ac24d55/Screenshot+2025-12-02+at+10.30.51.png Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f47bf1d5-8476-4092-a2e0-516a176fbd9f/DSC_7141R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5622e80-f6f9-4c6a-9616-990114f1f4da/DSC_7455R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e748a57-fc81-47b5-8643-49297bdd9811/DSC_7510-2R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/940b29d7-9fda-43fe-a81a-8eb670fdb52f/DSC_7219R.jpg Features - Da’Vine Joy Randolph on Guardian Angels, Fashion Statements and Producing Her Own Travel Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-when-zohran-met-trump monthly 0.5 2025-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9730bda8-0a3d-4fe4-bce3-913d66b33975/zohran+ntb+collage+1.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: When Zohran Met Trump - Make it stand out We’ve been graced with a new phenomenon of late: a politician who is actually quite nice and genuinely seems to care about people. Enter Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s mayor elect. Zohran has won over New Yorkers (but also kind of everyone) with his inclusive approach to politics, cost-of-living-busting policies, and his cracking social media strategy. But more than just being a stand-up guy with a refreshing approach to the economy – and an aptitude for making TikToks – it feels like Zohran has a more nebulous quality that makes him so likeable. In short, he’s got rizz and in spades. There is no greater proof for this than the new mayor’s first meeting with President Trump at the Oval Office last week. After weeks of badmouthing each other, Zohran and Trump finally came together, like any good enemies to lovers storyline. In the run-up to the election, Trump had named Zohran a “100% communist lunatic”, publicly endorsing his opponent Andrew Cuomo, while Zohran said (and maintains to this day) that Trump is a fascist. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-terrence-stamp monthly 0.5 2025-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65489b95-722f-4b5d-9436-ea77441d55eb/terence+stamp+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Queer Roles, Revolutionising Representation and Terence Stamp Time keeps on ticking, the nights are drawing in, and yet another iconic actor from my personal canon of admiration has died. Autumn is in full swing and everything is falling to bits. Terence Stamp was a huge presence in the queer films that shaped my youth, and my appreciation of his sensitive and nuanced performances of outsider characters, despite his rampant heterosexuality, has only accelerated as I have grown older. From Italian Art House to New Queer cinema, Stamp has been a pillar of strength, resistance and optimism for any and every film lover, and that divine projectionist’s light shines a little less after his passing. One of my favourite Stamp performances was in the 1968 Pasolini masterpiece Teorema, where a rich Italian bourgeois family are visited and seduced by a handsome stranger (played by Stamp) and are all irreversibly changed by the experience. Stamp is effortlessly gorgeous in this, flicking dark hair out of cool blue eyes and wearing the tightest trousers known to man, clearly showing the audience his bulging genitals. It’s the kind of confronting sexuality that you don’t believe exists in stuffy old films, like how teenage girls in the 21st century have no romantic interest in the Golden Age stars of Hollywood, that is, not until your english teachers plays the DVD of Streetcar Named Desire and Marlon Brando in that sweaty t-shirt turns up and everyone gasps at his raw hotness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4e413cc7-bd88-4c17-b413-eb66d0a4dd13/terence_stamp+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Queer Roles, Revolutionising Representation and Terence Stamp - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-the-oscars-ruined-my-pussy monthly 0.5 2025-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/44004c4a-febf-4b44-84c0-f78c746af62a/Oscar+Pussy+Collage+1.png Features - How The Oscars Ruined My Pussy “Are you the girl from Anora?” he asked. I hesitated, trying to intuit if he was going to spend money. “Yes,” I sighed. “I saw on Instagram that you were working tonight. I can’t believe you’re still here,” he blurted. I grit my teeth. In the last year, I had invested over $40,000 in my acting career. I had paid for private audition coaching, editorial pictures, headshots, and publicity. I had produced my own work, paid my way to the Cannes, New York, and Toronto Film Festivals, and attended the Oscars on my own dollar. I had fought my way into the heart of Hollywood, hoping to cement my presence as a professional actress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d6f691cc-76e8-49ec-90ce-fc7f9dcae7d7/Oscar+Pussy+Collage+2.png Features - How The Oscars Ruined My Pussy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinecism-kelly-reichardts-the-mastermind-filling-the-silence-and-the-solitary-father monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f28f8a0b-0b03-4e85-9ff3-1319bcd74148/mastermind+collage+1.png Features - Cinecism: Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind, Filling the Silence and the Solitary Father Kelly Reichardt's latest feature, The Mastermind, was review-bombed on Google. At the time of writing, it has a 1.9 rating, brought down by accounts from audiences that the film, about an art heist gone wrong, is “too slow,” “pretentious,” and lacking in substance. In recent years, there has been an uptick of films like the one described above — movies that fill their runtimes with drawn out shots and sparse dialogue, using the language of Tarkovsky-esque slow cinema to mask a dullness beneath. I’ve been prolific in my distaste for this kind of movie. When it comes to The Mastermind, however, I disagree. Reichardt's movie is slow, yes, but it’s anything but dull. On the contrary, I see it as the denouement of a filmmaking prowess that knows exactly how and why to hold our gaze (well apparently, some of ours’). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d4b2ceba-99ee-4e14-aa76-3bb7d4fb265b/mastermind+site+collage+2.png Features - Cinecism: Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind, Filling the Silence and the Solitary Father - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tatiana-maslany-feature-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef441a58-6056-4263-bfff-478ff894755c/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31842+2.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct “I’m going to crawl into a hole,” Tatiana Maslany declares, speaking over Zoom from her home in LA. The Canadian actress is tired: she has been up since the early hours, jet-lagged, having just returned from a few weeks away filming Apple’s upcoming series Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. She is soon set to leave again, this time to shoot for long-time collaborator Osgood Perkins’ Vancouver-set horror, The Young People. Although Maslany is known for her intense work ethic – while the lead in sci-fi series Orphan Black, she would often do 17-hour days – this last year has been more of a challenge. “It’s been really schleppy,” she says, shaking her head. “In a great way. But I’m wrecked.” We are speaking just as her new film, Keeper, hits cinemas. It is an early autumn morning in LA, and Maslany’s home looks suitably cosy – the walls are adorned with art, photos, and shelves of well-loved books and records. Rain patters against the window, and her dog Earl careens across the living room, in a life-or-death duel with a stuffed penguin. (“Sorry,” she laughs, the second time he interrupts the call. “He’s having a party.”) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3687dcf4-0832-4532-bc7a-b2da01f6c040/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany28590+1+1.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Dress: Belle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4127e998-baf2-469d-afab-9dbafe60900c/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany28971+1+1.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe7d15ac-aff4-4eab-a731-f46ff0c93a2d/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31200+1+3.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc4e4ab2-eaa6-4be9-8c1e-baadd6005d6c/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany29823.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdb5dde8-1efb-498d-b179-9f8c6eedb5bf/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31714.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Coat: OTKUTYR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd84630b-4a7e-43a9-b45e-27cf7ae81b5f/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31829.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f633834-e158-418f-a305-7015e4423f4b/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31365.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Dress: Ivy Kirk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/353bf03b-5261-47b5-9393-b7bd248c126d/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany28470.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Shirt: Silk Laundry | Jeans: Jordache https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46551e81-f2d5-49ab-8d02-24ad8ac26d92/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31188+7.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec853e99-2620-4184-bb34-3898b4b1dd01/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany31044+1.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Dress: Francesca Miranda | Ring: Miansai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8edc7323-1bb0-4c0c-ad40-5b3d6ab6457d/20251017_Polyester+x+Tatiana+Maslany30523+1.jpg Features - Tatiana Maslany on Censorship, Idealism and Being Driven by Instinct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/stowers-is-the-editorial-balancing-softness-and-structure monthly 0.5 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eaca3815-0e11-49ac-b840-263cd24d2fe0/01_3.jpg Features - Stowers is the Editorial Balancing Softness and Structure “STOWERS” comes from a world where “star” and “flower” merge — a poetic symbol of individuality blooming beyond definition.

There are levels to this, clearly: despite its twenty-year run on Broadway, the 25 years old actress made history last year as the first disabled person to play Nessarose in Jon Chu’s adaptation of the beloved Wicked. “I know people audition their whole lives to land projects like [Wicked].” Bode explains over Zoom. “The fact that it happened so fast for me, someone who didn’t grow up with any ‘ins’ or privileges in that way… I’m of course so grateful, but at the same time, my brain loves to trick me into feeling like I don’t deserve this. “ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2911a57f-25dd-4827-aeb0-2faaf9e64ef5/POLYESTER-1.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Top: Tae Park | Pants: Tae Park | Shoes: Chanel | Earrings: 8 Other Reasons | Ring: Vintage (Stylist’s Own) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e42b6ed5-13b9-4e3d-b379-237a99f0bf31/POLYESTER-2.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65a106eb-891f-4c4a-bfaa-349a31554417/POLYESTER-3.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa0a42ca-5b79-4b05-b78c-ae64e5222ae9/POLYESTER-4.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Jacket: Scoliosy | Skirt: Scoliosy | Earrings: Roxanne Assoulin | Boots: Gia Borghini https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a21501b1-3d3b-413f-8b4f-cc11d4981859/POLYESTER-8.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Dress: Collina Strada | Shoes: Charles & Keith | Socks: Tabio | Necklace: Tarina Tarantino | Earrings: Martha Calvo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa4550b0-a32e-485d-8669-477578616e8e/POLYESTER-10.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0356844-976a-4c1b-9f01-aed5b485d3f1/POLYESTER-6.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Dress: Harbison | Earrings: 8 Other Reasons | Ring: Vintage (Stylists Own) | Shoes: Charles & Keith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6029d83a-ac97-47bc-a830-84e348dacc1b/POLYESTER-7.jpg Features - Marissa Bode on Getting Cast in a Blockbuster, Advocating For Her Beliefs and Why Wicked is Queer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glitch-art-digital-decay-and-why-tiktok-is-celebrating-imperfect-technology monthly 0.5 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb3f80cf-4666-4797-a370-62329a7ec7da/decay+2+2.png Features - Glitch Art, Digital Decay and Why TikTok is Celebrating Imperfect Technology When I was growing up in the 2000s, I’d shut myself away with the family computer and make my Sims 2 versions of Bella and Edward from Twilight make out. For hours. The game would eventually start to overheat and bug out – the screen freezing, faces shattering, bodies jittering like haunted mannequins. At the time it was mortifying, a literal glitch in my secret fantasy, but looking back, there was something strangely alluring about it: the moment when the screen collapsed under the weight of my teenage melodrama, dissolving into a mess of digital debris. That same aesthetic – the shimmer of broken worlds and obsolete media – is resurfacing online, through TikToks of low-poly montages and eerie edits of early 2000s horror games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Once dismissed as graphically poor, they now evoke an uncanny nostalgia. Stiff NPCs and patchy textures – the very markers of technological failure – are being reimagined as aesthetic choices and emotional landscapes. These fan cam-esque walkthroughs of cold, abandoned towns read like elegies for the weirder, darker days of being online, inviting us to reflect on what it means to live among the ruins of our own technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae05d2e4-afb1-448e-b8ab-e38f0fecfa31/decay+1_.png Features - Glitch Art, Digital Decay and Why TikTok is Celebrating Imperfect Technology - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/georgiemurphy-stumble-interview monthly 0.5 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b61eff30-7e10-4f18-b519-71cfd8d6e813/37.jpg Features - Georgie Murphy on The Office, Playing a Bride and Getting the Part For our latest cover story, we caught up with the stars of NBC’s Stumble, a new cheerleading mockumentary.

From managing a household to priming and posturing just the right amount in order to support your husband’s burgeoning political ambitions in front of a sea of faces and cameras. It’s an infinite negotiation of two worlds all to be met with a polarising reality. The role of political spouses is a global phenomena – one that constantly seeks to be satiated due to our endless appetite for public spectacle. While there are examples of political husbands bolstering up the careers of successful wives, - like Doug Emhoff, husband to former U.S. VP and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris - there are far more examples of women in the supporting chair. Originating from a millennia of stifling societal norms of a woman’s expected function when positioned next to their male counterpart, there’s certainly a gendered perspective to this unique position that cannot be understated. The Lady’s Companion, an Infallible Guide to the Fair Sex, written in 1743, piously dictates: “the female sex ought to maintain a behaviour towards men, which may be secure to themselves without offending them”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cab115f8-5271-4153-8e7e-643a5de1b0df/Political+Wives+2.png Features - From Mamdani to Kirk - Our Enduring Obsession with Political Wives and What It Says About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/talking-to-the-london-founders-of-trans-fest-ahead-of-their-second-annual-event monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d251bdb-314a-48e0-9f8e-3d2a2538266d/Trans+1.png Features - Talking to the London Founders of ‘Trans Fest’ Ahead of their Second Annual Event This upcoming November 20-23, Chats Palace in Homerton will host Trans Fest, a four-day celebration of trans and nonbinary joy, art, and resistance. The festival will include the Trans Rage Exhibition, a special screening of My Genderation with talks and a panel discussion with founders, drag performances, Sapphic Speed Dating for genderfluid folx, and the London queer art market featuring trans and non binary creatives. Trans Rage Art is a creative platform founded by Sunny Hayward and Lee Leaff Pond to uplift radical and authentic art from trans and queer communities. It was developed as part of R.A.G.E. (Real Art Generates Emotion), a company and collective that creates and hosts spaces for communities to share art and enact change. During a time of intense anti-trans legislation and violence, R.A.G.E. and the Trans Fest became spaces where gender expansive folx embrace the generative and political power of anger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1baf41a4-c336-4839-ae6f-eefb811a0afa/Trans+Fest+2.png Features - Talking to the London Founders of ‘Trans Fest’ Ahead of their Second Annual Event - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/anissa-borrego-stumble-interview monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0b69683-bb54-4f2f-988b-e394570800bf/30.jpg Features - Anissa Borrego on K Pop Demon Hunters, Comedy Inspiration and Leading the Cheer For our latest cover, we went behind the scenes on Stumble, NBC’s hotly-tipped mockumentary about the world of junior college cheerleading.

The ideas of her worlds are big, and yet it takes only a few scenes for an audience to be grounded in them, and for the realms that she has created to feel real. Ducournau’s newest film, Alpha, releases in the UK on November 14. Here, an unnamed disease - one which causes the bodies of those infected to turn into marble, a fate which is beautiful and yet ultimately fatal - is sweeping France. After Alpha, the film’s protagonist, receives a tattoo with a needle that may not be sterile, we see the world shift around her, as the biases and prejudices of society are released onto her potentially sick body. Julia’s universes feel simultaneously fantastical and grounded in a lived-in reality, but more than anything - they feel real. Below, she puts her experience into words with her guide to building your cinematic world: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5f57523c-77ef-4bb2-860c-3b23c62f6564/ALPHA+-+Photo+3+%C2%A9MANDARIN+%26+COMPAGNIE++KALLOUCHE+CINEMA++FRAKAS+PRODUCTIONS++FRANCE+3+CINEMA.jpg Features - Julia Ducournau’s Guide to Cinematic Worldbuilding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/adf88f32-a9ba-47aa-8315-275889599012/ALPHA+-+Photo+2+%C2%A9MANDARIN+%26+COMPAGNIE++KALLOUCHE+CINEMA++FRAKAS+PRODUCTIONS++FRANCE+3+CINEMA.jpg Features - Julia Ducournau’s Guide to Cinematic Worldbuilding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-november-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9917554d-9fc7-4551-903e-9b9ea60c834b/horoscope+1_.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope Always crashing in the same car? A lot of the planets are occupying roughly the same air space as they were in early 2025, and retrograde, so it might feel like it. Except now we’ve seen everything we’ve seen, and there’s no pretending otherwise. Transformation and truth will be the dominant themes this month with much of the action in Scorpio and Sagittarius’ domain. Uranus retrograding back into Taurus could rattle the financial markets, so buckle up and hold onto your lunch money. Jupiter stations retrograde on the 11th, trining Saturn and Neptune in their last concurrent waltz in Pisces, which may leave us tender but opens the door to healing, harmony and a profound awareness of what truly matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4cfb835a-db36-4059-b6cb-9864ea902f0d/aries.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/edac4dda-f5a7-4694-bcd7-c1cc3a594caf/tarus.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a1aac96-c5e9-4003-8c66-34ec058149f2/gemini.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8b2088a-4e4a-4ea6-896e-39a13a3c5955/cancer.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81d393c0-4624-4617-a018-d9c717c48c09/leo.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22f29d5e-f066-43eb-b8af-e9ad17775b3e/virgo.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c60f653-5afb-412e-90f5-a1dcf7173f91/libra.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/440e321a-ab1d-4061-b0f6-3963ddd91701/scorpio.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd3dfabb-3a3b-4bd8-8940-fd438eb3b186/sag.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/116c19c7-3b0b-4268-a44d-b4e061a606fd/capricorn.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/87692db3-a653-4c20-a86a-cacb1744a0b4/aquarius.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3887445b-61d6-41b5-98cc-228a32d954bd/pisces.png Features - Maraschino’s November 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/harmony-tividads-guide-to-manifesting-your-dream-life monthly 0.5 2025-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a774b93-1cdf-4ee7-96ce-8f23ba731c84/Copy+of+_R331795+2.JPG Features - Harmony Tividad’s Guide to Manifesting Your Dream Life It’s been six years since we last caught up with Harmony Tividad, when she covered the Polyester newsletter as part of her band Girlpool, months before lockdown and COVID changed everything for everyone. It’s not, however, the first time we’ve seen the musician in the time since. She pops up on the same scene as Polyester regularly, so between recording vox pops with us, her viral digital manifestations and her upcoming follow up to her first acclaimed solo album Gossip, she’s easily one of 2025’s primo It Girls. The new sound combines real life earnestness with internet tinged satire, not dissimilar to what Harmony has put out previously, but with more of a focus on the personal. “It’s not super specific, it’s a few years of work that's been collecting and thematically aligning in the background of everything else I have been making,” she explains over email. “A lot of it is about womanhood and a kind of rejection of womanhood, but also the longing to feel inside of it.

Over the course of eight episodes, Topliffe builds the picture of a young woman that is determined, sceptical of authority, with a keen sense of justice – who acts as the emotional core of the show. Abbie was Topliffe’s first major role, having broken into the industry from a school that was “too country” to have drama lessons. When she sent her self-tape in – the producers could immediately see that she was a star, and she was the first role cast for the show. From there, Topliffe spent her time in and amongst the crew on set, not only learning her own lines and prepping her performance, but getting involved with the whole production. In the following conversation, Sydney and show creator Mae take us behind the scenes of Wayward – detailing the time that Sydney recreated all of Die Hard on set; how she learned to pull focus; and how no one actually told her she got the job (and why she decided to just start rehearsing anyway). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acbafe0a-73ab-48d1-ab93-3616d3141dcd/Screenshot+2025-11-10+at+18.00.14.png Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77b39009-f569-422f-8677-2a248975993d/IMG_4025.JPG Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee87d46a-4f44-4551-9d65-5fd2deca4b5b/IMG_4064.JPG Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6024859f-ce4f-40d5-b1ae-496b431cfabd/Sc809_102531_A-CAM_No+Caption.JPG Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9cae222-a304-497e-a023-9e2f09617d45/IMG_4874.JPG Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1295cf19-ceee-4b59-b4c8-e8c9cc7a18ab/IMG_5980.JPG Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c6991f54-dde7-49b1-96b9-020126561c27/IMG_3624.jpeg Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07129e23-9d17-4c8e-9e98-6ec366469926/IMG_9423.JPG Features - Sydney Topliffe Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Wayward – In Conversation with Mae Martin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/taylor-dunbar-on-jailbirds-new-orleans-musical-theatre-and-the-stumble-sisterhood monthly 0.5 2025-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2ec923fe-f6d8-4fcb-b06d-66b48fcfa7ff/29.jpg Features - Taylor Dunbar on Jailbirds: New Orleans, Musical Theatre and the Stumble Sisterhood For our latest cover, we spoke with the stars of Stumble, NBC’s new comedy about the world of junior college cheerleading - read the full story here.

She was filming the psychological Western Brimstone along with Guy Pearce and Dakota Fanning, and was sitting on a bench during a night shoot. “I definitely had a turning point,” she recalls, speaking over Zoom from a hotel room. “I was sitting there waiting for the rain to stop and I had a moment where I was like, I’m absolutely shattered, but in the best way. My body is sore, but in the best way. I’m in a place I would never go to – we were filming in the middle of nowhere in Germany – and I would never have come to this beautiful part of the world. I just felt like acting was enriching my life in a way I couldn’t explain. It was filling a void inside me I didn’t know I had.” At that moment, she knew this was what she needed to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791054725-H0EMPIDLBH34ANX9A7DV/92129_AAR_Polyster_008_09+2.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Full look: Zadig & Voltaire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791085442-R6EK95T2NRT4MO6ZJWP3/92129_AAR_Polyster_011_01+2.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791054304-YACRX6WE4G7HXPCWF0X5/92129_AAR_Polyster_003_06+2.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Full look: Sandro https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791179284-ZZ2Z3JFRVS49B4NGXK7P/Copy+of+IMG_1271.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791102461-E6K3KOB0THT6492HWRMB/92129_AAR_Polyster_017_08+2.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Full look: Pipenco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791106587-3YRXN3H6FC0K20BTHZHX/92129_AAR_Polyster_020_02+2.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791097768-EB0VMGZVMPI2E9LJXYDQ/92129_AAR_Polyster_013_08+2.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791149874-5IZKN9JDWJNRX7LL2VYK/Copy+of+92130_STA_Polyster_014_27.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791126270-FJG0DRETZLU7KP2123T1/Copy+of+92130_STA_Polyster_012_33.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Jacket and top: Sandro | Skirt: Grace Gui | Boots: Zadig & Voltaire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791163194-RGE8NYDCP4WULP4YPX0I/Copy+of+IMG_1266.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791122548-MUG3N4MTJ8XW9VKSO97Q/Copy+of+92130_STA_Polyster_011_12.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762791173066-8WOOWLY22MAMJFFBZAN5/Copy+of+IMG_1268.jpeg Features - Emilia Jones on Child Acting, Task and Learning New Skills on Set - Make it stand out Cardigan: Grace Gui | Dress: Zadig & Voltaire | Boots: Etro https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/knowledgemaxxing-research-as-a-leisure-activity-and-the-gen-z-yearning-for-intellectual-growth monthly 0.5 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6398d762-d878-4c09-b1b8-c00c9c41109f/Knowledgemaxxing+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Knowledgemaxxing, Research as a Leisure Activity and the Gen Z Yearning for Intellectual Growth Swap out ‘Your Birth Month, Your AI’ videos for notebooks, academic journals, and critical analysis - the girls are brushing up on their research skills. A new wave of intellectualism has liberated a niche corner of TikTok, known as the ‘Research as a Leisure Activity’ community. A growing group of philomaths has taken to the platform to share their enthusiasm for learning, and, as some like to call it, ‘knowledgemaxxing’. The notion of research, often associated with academia, has gained a new meaning - one driven by self-study and playfulness, fuelled by niche interests or a desire for intellectual empowerment. In this scholarly nook, the Internet pendulum has swung so far away from brain-rot culture that users are building communities within which research methodologies and literary interests have become pastimes and areas of peacefulness. Composed largely of Gen Z creators - the true first generation of digital natives - one questions the correlation between AI fatigue, the state of being chronically online, and a genuine fear of media illiteracy, marching the movement towards intellectual growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3aba51af-7e43-43cd-a6f9-ec284ebb8850/Knowledgemaxxing+site+collage+2.jpg Features - Knowledgemaxxing, Research as a Leisure Activity and the Gen Z Yearning for Intellectual Growth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/stumble-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6f4447df-3955-49b0-8a26-6b59467c1388/stumble+polyester+zine+cover.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary As someone who grew up right in the middle of the UK - in big, drab Birmingham, famous for birthing Black Sabbath and having a really big shopping centre, to be exact - and has long been addicted to hair accessories, I was always transfixed by the idea of the American cheerleader as a child. My only exposure to their glamorous, athletic world was through TV shows like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and movies like Bring It On, but that was enough to spark endless hours of imaginary games, where I’d perform cheers and fill up notebooks with uniform designs. I even had a cheap pair of sparkly pom poms that would shed streamers all over my grandparents’ carpet. So, despite now being 31, when I stepped onto the set of Stumble - a new NBC mockumentary all about the world of competitive junior college cheerleading - I have to admit, it was a bit of a rush. On a soundstage in Brooklyn, the production had built a full-size replica of a junior college gym, complete with bleachers, wall murals, and, of course, a cheer mat. It was, to use the scientific term, a bit of a trip, and a very big treat for the little kid who’d spend days of her life unsuccessfully trying to copy East Compton Clovers routines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437357440-HPZU2TY6TJZ868H1J2KH/2.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437359278-1UPV23M4SY62A3H73JQO/1.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437418487-0EGUIBJZQCOFAFAJOJ1F/5.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437429384-8VLD5XPQ833Z9P9YRLL2/6.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437482951-U2UEJGXXG6CTLGDVFET4/16.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437445208-ATYB0NOW69JTB3TR41IZ/9.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437433830-PNHJLAAQV75NCY5E0BCP/7.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437459075-IDXIGNUY41IO5H6A27VL/11.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437470634-4QNZYIOUF69Z4L1I29HX/13.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437467542-IE0T1L1JB5L87SL7HJD8/12.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437490967-GKYPH74Y7FIUVB9OBPXI/19.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1762437438746-UC3OQ09CTB7FVHZ4HNSJ/8.jpg Features - The Stumble Cast on Combining Comedy with Cheerleading, Cast Friendships and Making a Mockumentary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/james-veloria-on-patience-curating-community-and-the-buzzcocks monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ccf632d1-4422-4f34-8a03-518e84672e60/Kr_Shakht_P_V_JV_15.jpg Features - James Veloria on Patience, Curating Community and the Buzzcocks Heading up the stairs of an unassuming looking mall under Manhattan Bridge in Chinatown you might pause for a moment to think, is this the right address?

The interior of James Veloria is a riot of silver tinsel, murals and mirrors but the clothing is clearly the selection of a serious fashion curator. Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe and Comme De Garçons hang alongside 90s Chanel and Alaïa.

My most treasured copy is bell hooks’ visionary, ‘All about love’. The words of bell hooks, black feminist, writer, educator and theorist, guide me to reflect on and understand my emotional world holistically and critically, and embrace love's radical power through black feminist principles. Similarly, reading Assata Shakur’s autobiography of her astonishing life as a political activist and a revolutionary figure of Black liberation spoke to my spirit, despite completely opposite lived experiences. Assata taught me about identifying the enemy, the ’capitalistic, imperialist oppressors’ in order to work towards liberation. Engaging with the work of visionary women has taught me how language builds bridges and urges us to open our hearts, minds and spirits. Their work embraces the power of community, the importance of solidarity between communities and acts as interconnected sites of critique, spiritual joy and female celebration. When I came across indigenous Himalayan artist, aqui Thami’s work, I immediately felt a deep sense of connection. Thami is a Thangmi woman from the indigenous Kiratimma people of the Himalayas, part of the Kirat ethnic group. We are kin, rooted in ancestral lineage of nature worship and rituals devoted to our ancestors. In a Dazed feature, Thami states how she has “read women exclusively”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59044d61-f54f-4311-b3bc-2f5487f1db53/acqui+1.png Features - Why Mumbai Feminist Library Founder aqui Thami’s Visionary Women-Centered Practice is So Important - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-on-screen-conspiracy-got-stupid-in-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0292940-9ade-4711-b254-887267f4a97f/conspiracy+site+collage+1.jpg Features - How On Screen Conspiracy Got Stupid in 2025 In the cavernous darkness of a deserted parking lot, a streak of white light catches a man’s eyes, this black-blue portrait punctuated only by the flicker of a cigarette. From the shadows, the stranger says “Forget the myths the media’s created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys.” It’s Deep Throat speaking – a depiction of a real press informant by the same name – whose leaks helped expose the Watergate conspiracy, the political scandal that forced U.S. President Nixon’s resignation in 1974. This vignette comes from Alan J. Pakula’s 1976 film All The President’s Men, an adaptation of the real account of journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein’s labyrinthine investigation into Watergate, an odyssey into the innermost depths of political corruption and a love letter to journalistic integrity and the pursuit of truth. The film was the final instalment in Pakula’s Paranoia Trilogy, a run of movies that bottled the anxious, distrustful pulse of 1970s America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4d2daa50-046b-4059-ac1d-45f96ac5e0f8/conspiracy+site+collage+2.jpg Features - How On Screen Conspiracy Got Stupid in 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/i-love-gay-halloween monthly 0.5 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/375dcd4a-03b7-4ef6-92e3-383d32d43635/Gay+Halloween+2.png Features - I Love Gay Halloween: What Do You Mean You’re a Niche Internet Microtrend? - Make it stand out What do you mean you’re doing as a Charli Horse, a Charli xcx-themed muscle cramp?

The more obscure the costume, the better, and if people aren’t asking you what you are, what’s the point of enduring the awkward Uber ride dressed as a slutty Snow White? While it may seem silly and perhaps a little exclusionary, the “I hate Gay Halloween” fanfare is a necessary reference to the holiday’s queer roots. The “I hate gay Halloween, what do you mean you’re…” meme format is now almost a year old, exploding online for Halloween 2024 with super niche costumes. The meme trend came out right as the United States elected Donald Trump for his second, non-consecutive term.

Shoes: Why Ugly Shoes Repel the Male Gaze Depop is teeming with Vibram FiveFingers. This curious shoe - with its distinctive five toes and foot-like silhoutte - was initially popularised within fitness circles after Christopher McDougall’s best selling novel Born to Run (2009) turned people towards the Tarahumara tribe’s barefoot running. Since then, we’ve begun to see these ‘toe shoes’ paired with balloon pants, silk skirts, and even deconstructed gowns - as arranged by stylist Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen in the lookbook for a Life of a Housefly. While the mainstream is focused on the resurgence of Manolo Blahnik, the classic IT-girl shoe iconically depicted on Carrie Bradshaw’s feet over the course of Sex and The City’s history, today’s fashion girls seem concerned with finding something grittier. Manolo Blahnik’s latest collection, full of frilly femininity and rococo decadence - directly inspired by the costume design they did for Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antonette (2006) currently on display at the V&A Museum - seems to fall flat in fashion’s current view of femininity. As #TradWife trends towards the male gaze, so too, does its oppositional counterpart trend away from it. Looking back through fashion history, statement shoes have become another way to man-repel, whether through unusual silhouettes, textures, or a direct comparison to their real-world references (think, fish slippers!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d7ddb2e-c370-420b-a45d-1e2120b10fa6/shoe+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Shoo!

Of those to find appeal in the West, like the realist, mid-century art films of Satyajit Ray, or the non-Indian productions of Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta, the 2001 sports epic Lagaan was the first to introduce a full blown Bollywood sensibility to the world. As of today, Lagaan is the last Indian film to be nominated for an Academy Award, despite the unparalleled, worldwide financial success of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas only a year later. Devdas premiered at Cannes in 2002 and, being the most expensive Indian film ever made at the time, was met with massive box office success both within India and outside of it. But despite the love from audiences, critics were less sure. While there were some who praised Bhansali’s meticulous attention to detail, many, both in India and overseas, also felt that the film was too melodramatic. Journalist Madhu Trehan even remarked in Outlook that Bhansali and his co-writer Prakash Ranjit Kapadia had turned Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s beloved 1917 novel into a “chick film.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/768bbe18-cd3a-449c-85eb-854e8eb9d792/BFI+site+collage+2.jpg Features - “Devdas” and the Enduring Appeal of the Melodrama - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/heartache-ghosting-and-going-viral-the-rise-of-online-breakup-content monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d07e6107-de56-4245-a88c-1a62ca484b9c/heartbreak+economy+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Heartache, Ghosting, and Going Viral: The Rise of Online Breakup Content - Make it stand out Regardless of whether you’re still dutifully swiping on one of the many apps promising romantic happiness, or you’ve sworn off dating entirely, it’s nearly impossible to avoid any and all talks of l-o-v-e: algorithms have made sure of it. According to Pew Research, over 80% of social media users report seeing relationship content on their feeds, and there are now over 13 million TikTok posts tagged #dating, #breakup, or #cheating. We’ve all been forced to bear witness to what’s become the digital love cycle: a turbulent journey that takes us from meet-cutes (or matches) and anniversaries to, inevitably, the crash and burn. It’s that final act, heartbreak, that’s become the internet’s latest spectacle.

So when Nissan invited me and our fashion editor Katy to a weekend vintage shopping in Rome, I jumped at the chance to get her expert advice, cut around the city in style and most importantly, buy some new stuff. So, we booked our flights, hotel and to get around Rome’s windy streets we were lucky enough to borrow a Silence S04 Nanocar, an electric car with a super small footprint perfect for zipping to and from all the shops on our checklist and squeezing into extra tight parking spots on Rome’s chaotic streets - but it still has boot space roomy enough to keep our purchases. The car was super easy to drive which is a major plus when you’re in an unfamiliar city, and its compact nature allowed for easy backing up and parking (my two least favourite driving activities) - with this little guy it was a breeze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa833f96-e9fa-4895-bfbb-35068893403b/IMG_8074.jpg Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9f4fff51-4dd3-4b48-a588-568f10e7581a/Screenshot+2025-10-28+5.14.02+PM.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/df046072-75b7-4fe0-bba9-44f77116b168/Screenshot+2025-10-28+5.19.24+PM.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8eed4395-9897-4c74-965b-03cc6670d723/Screenshot+2025-10-28+5.47.57+PM.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e552e723-b45d-4c05-95a5-46bba75f259c/Screenshot+2025-10-28+at+17.30.57.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/47f93198-674e-4078-9bbc-5a3dcf11c807/Screenshot+2025-10-28+5.19.01+PM.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/626a63a7-df38-4a78-a672-2a8a7feb0ceb/Screenshot+2025-10-28+5.18.32+PM.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1ddd1c0a-e442-47f6-9c69-a98bc7feb22c/Screenshot+2025-10-28+5.23.07+PM.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b236ae85-2a75-49ba-b44c-b36b067734ee/Screenshot+2025-10-28+at+17.31.07.png Features - Get In Loser, We’re Going Vintage Shopping: Rome Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/julio-torres-guide-to-throwing-a-halloween-extravaganza monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6887f253-5318-4198-bffc-afe1b24463c3/julio+site+collage+1.jpg Features - Julio Torres’ Guide to Throwing a Halloween Extravaganza - Make it stand out There are Halloween parties - the kind where everyone puts on a pair of cat ears and proceeds to get drunk on bright orange ‘punch’ - and there are all out Halloween extravaganzas. These are events where the runway is Drag Race standard, and everyone who enters through the doors has put so much effort into their looks, they could well have just walked off of the set of an expensive, conceptual horror film. You won’t be surprised to hear that the Polyester gals are fans of the latter approach (extra? Us? How dare you), which means that we’re beside ourselves with news of actor, writer and director Julio Torres’ second annual NYC-based Halloween party The Cursed Amulet, taking place on October 30th at 154 Scott in Brooklyn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0970bfc8-98af-4471-9f26-9f4d6844320a/julio+site+collage+2.jpg Features - Julio Torres’ Guide to Throwing a Halloween Extravaganza - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/susan-wokoma-on-h-er-short-film-dark-skin-bruises-differently monthly 0.5 2025-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8274076-1714-4cef-ab65-8d653b21db7b/bruises+differently+2_.png Features - Susan Wokoma on Her Short Film ‘Dark Skin Bruises Differently' Susan Wokoma wears many hats: most notably as both a screen and stage actor, who you may have seen in BBC’s Cheaters, Channel 4’s Chewing Gum or Netflix’s Enola Holmes series. But alongside her roles that veer across genres such as comedy and drama, she’s also a writer, producer, and now, director. Her debut feature, Three Weeks, is currently in production, and her short film Dark Skin Bruises Differently screens at the 75th annual London Film Festival in the 'Show Me Who I Am' strand. In the film Wokoma continuously flexes her well-crafted multi-disciplinary skills, penning the script as well as starring as Ms Lawson, a concerned teacher who finds herself in the midst of a teacher scandal. For a film with limited runtime (just upwards of ten minutes), Wokoma effectively asks her audience what happens when children lie, what kind of children are afforded protection when they lie and why we ignore signs of harm right in front of us. Ahead of the film’s screening, Polyester spoke with Susan about her short and why she took up the mantle of director. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/828108ba-ae93-43fd-a6e9-8cb8dedca1e4/bruises+differently+1_.png Features - Susan Wokoma on Her Short Film ‘Dark Skin Bruises Differently' - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinecism-coppolas-dracula-a-himbo-in-the-vampires-cryptnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a13ce03b-35d6-48c3-8bd9-5861c21cdd32/CINECISM+1_.png Features - Cinecism: Coppola’s Dracula, A Himbo in the Vampire’s Crypt&nbsp; From Murnau to Herzog, adapting Bram Stoker’s gothic classic Dracula has been a rite of passage for filmmakers since film immemorial. Last year Robert Eggers made this already dark story even darker with an impressive Lily Rose Depp as his star and, already, Luc Besson’s take awaits an international release only a year later. But no rendition of this spooky tale has satiated my cravings more than Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 epic, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. With what Vincent Canby described as the “enthusiasm of a precocious school boy,” Coppola throws everything he’s got at this movie. Its art direction is magnificent in scale with nods to German expressionism. Coppola places his actors in large manufactured sets, films them from disorienting dutch angles and casts them in startling, satanic hues of red and orange. The costumes, dreamed up by the legendary Eiko Ishioka, are not entirely period-accurate, not entirely anachronistic, but move with a sensuality in their intricate ornamentation and voluptuous silhouettes. Even the human Dracula possesses a mythical garb, adorned in a suit of armour with catlike (or perhaps devil-like) horns. Michael Ballhaus’s camera swoops and soars through piles of festering rats just as sensuously as it languishes in absinthe-induced hallucinations of blood and fire. The result is a feast for the eyes and ears, with so much delicious excess as to distract critics from its narrative inconsistencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0745b241-ac76-4815-a23e-acb3647c78a4/CINECISM+2.png Features - Cinecism: Coppola’s Dracula, A Himbo in the Vampire’s Crypt&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/caroline-guiela-nguyen-on-lacrima-invisible-workers-and-weaving-stories monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/25f15e39-2c1f-42c0-810e-7b4fb73131ec/collage+1.png Features - Caroline Guiela Nguyen on Lacrima, Invisible Workers and Weaving Stories Caroline Guiela Nguyen calls from backstage at a theatre in Rome. It is nearing the end of her latest production, Valentina, and her voice is tired but vibrant. Her six year old is babbling behind the scenes, folding origami while we speak. In her play LACRIMA, the French director spins a postcolonial tale of tailoring and teardrops within the world of haute couture. When a Parisian fashion house is commissioned to create a wedding dress for a British princess, the stage is transformed into a workshop. Spanning eight months, the story follows the interwoven lives of the garment workers behind the dress, across Paris, Alençon, Abdul, and Mumbai. In this white-robed room with a screen at its centre and workbenches lining the walls, the play lifts the veil on the true cost of fashion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eaf6ae6c-48a8-4edc-bc7d-59ca6ea6020c/collage+2.png Features - Caroline Guiela Nguyen on Lacrima, Invisible Workers and Weaving Stories - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-motherhood-shows-up-in-art-ginny-casey-and-megan-mulrooney-in-conversation monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b4aa307-aa12-4e8a-a6e5-979366783acb/GCA25.003+%281%29.jpg Features - How Motherhood Shows Up In Art: Ginny Casey and Megan Mulrooney In Conversation - Make it stand out Strange vases and pots, constricted figures with bodily qualities, vivid colours alongside fleshy pastels: all properties of New York-based painter Ginny Casey’s work, in full voice at her current solo show Opposite of Hollow, at LA’s Megan Mulrooney Gallery. To walk around the exhibition is to be surrounded by paintings of tactile vessels, and an overwhelming sense of heavy femininity – these images wear voluptuousness and weariness in equal measure.

From phone sex operators to cam girls, sex and sex workers have always adapted to the evolution of technology. The most recent turn of the decade birthed an entirely new era of sex work, one that allows for us to take our stream of revenue completely online. In the last five years, more and more sex workers have made the decision to pivot to online sex work thanks to sites like Onlyfans, Hidden, and Fansly, to name a few. So, as the demand to churn out nude content is continuously met in new ways, how does this affect the way sex workers perceive their bodies? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ad310d9-b251-4cbd-b3a8-221b5dfc8304/news+1.png Features - Doxy Magazine on Online Sex Work And It’s Impact in How We View Our Bodies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ipad-adults-sabyasachi-and-solo-dates-why-do-we-care-about-going-out-alonenbsp monthly 0.5 2025-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/00522a6e-8d87-45a4-9a71-30081b95fd75/alone+2_.png Features - iPad Adults, Sabyasachi, and Solo Dates: Why Do We Care About Going Out Alone?&nbsp; - Make it stand out It’s the evening rush hour on a weekday in midtown Manhattan. Legions of suits and Ann Taylor-wearers march out of their office buildings, tapping their ears twice. They look ahead and speak, but not to each other, let alone anyone physically around them. The wait for the light to change at a crosswalk brings a cacophony of conversations to a crescendo. They listen and talk to the voice in their AirPods. Tap tap. Silence. Next call. Hands are freed, momentarily - how much and how long do we want them to be? Back at home, familiar television series with subtitles play against the companionship of an ambient YouTube video, and the contrasting loop of short-form social content stimulus. Netflix executives have sought to appeal to the era of casual viewing, reportedly encouraging their writers to create excessive exposition amidst a lack of active and attentive watching. There is rarely a pure TV-watching pastime anymore, when hands instinctively scroll into the social media abyss, like holding a drink or plate of room-temperature snacks as a crutch at a function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a2158938-8000-4504-9b13-e4b5cf02e4d6/alone+1_.png Features - iPad Adults, Sabyasachi, and Solo Dates: Why Do We Care About Going Out Alone?&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/karoline-vittos-guide-to-styling-plus-size monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8928ee2-a356-4705-9f43-67bcc7705ff2/karoline+vitto+1.png Features - Karoline Vitto's Guide to Styling Plus Sizes Womenswear designer Karoline Vitto is well known for her embrace of the natural shapes and curves of the body, and her SS26 collection, recently launched at London Fashion Week, was no exception. “I am drawn to the ultra feminine, and there’s nothing that feels more feminine and womanly than an outfit that hugs you in all the right places,” Karoline says. “Sometimes the clothes are revealing some skin, sometimes just flowing beautifully around you, but always making you feel amazing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc223314-d39d-4117-b5d1-4a8b029e8372/karoline+vitto+2_.png Features - Karoline Vitto's Guide to Styling Plus Sizes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/into-the-electrifying-world-of-filipino-american-student-pageants monthly 0.5 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56eaa8a3-9404-4284-8c52-72abb6fa86ef/Ligaya+3.JPG Features - Into the Electrifying World of Filipino American Student Pageants When Ligaya Manalastas watched her first Ms. Philippines pageant in 2023, she didn’t expect to come out of it forever changed.

This might make me sound cold. I’m not – I love my friends. But I am guilty of drifting apart from those who aren’t easily factored into my schedule. Arguably this is simply becoming an adult. You only have to open TikTok to see millions of likes on thousands of videos with the same premise: friends swiping through their phone calendars with captions like ‘at the end of our hangouts we always have to plan the next one, otherwise we don't see each other for months’ or ‘pov making plans in your 20s’. We all have jobs, relationships, maybe pets, maybe kids, hobbies, dreams, side hustles, passion projects, family commitments, and are being force-fed the importance of getting an unfathomable amount of protein into our diets and making time for ‘self-care.’ It’s no surprise that many of us find giving our undivided attention to friends and partners at the moments in between increasingly difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/189bcb03-6cf6-4ef0-a06b-bc3299fb4f59/dating+2_.png Features - Parallel Dating: How Connection Changed in the Era of Hustle Culture and Loneliness&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/middle-east-archive-is-exploring-love-through-the-lens-of-loss monthly 0.5 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48382cef-beaa-49b5-b79c-af968bd02d55/middle+east+archive Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss The deepest grief in the Middle East and North African region is rooted in love - for land, for people, for a future still worth fighting for.

We've witnessed this devastation unfold through genocidal violence in places like Palestine and Sudan, where the erasure of life and culture continues in plain sight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7555963a-f129-43f5-ab43-794176bba512/02.jpeg Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/205f63a2-0f5e-4097-b8fd-513bf9f8ae6d/atia2.jpeg Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/17f26ce6-ce9c-4e20-a555-e78792d1a180/AreejKaoud_Resistance+is+the+deepest+form+of+love_Upscale.jpeg Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7ca6c436-c09b-442a-9ebe-ae05b98fb59f/ANP-530738571.jpeg Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e86c698d-709c-4e42-8731-31d5df0322dc/The+center+HR.jpeg Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0aa8c2c8-a7b3-4120-ae40-3875b18db7fb/old_man_woman_kiss.jpeg Features - Middle East Archive is Exploring Love Through the Lens of Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nbspwhy-nostalgia-for-2016-feminism-is-about-more-than-sentimentality monthly 0.5 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/29b2a533-8521-4a73-b9df-4ad09955040a/2016+Feminism.png Features - Why Nostalgia For 2016 Feminism Is About More Than Sentimentality - Make it stand out ‘I miss circa 2016 girl boss feminism’ laments a user on X, as women claim that they shave their legs because the feeling of their own body hair is overstimulating, in yet another round of discourse mind-numbing enough to make you want to pull out your own leg hair, one follicle at a time. ‘The dilution of feminism on the internet isn’t a new process,’ Rohitha Naraharisetty states in her piece ‘Why is Feminism on the Internet Regressing’. Naraharisetty points to the influence of online trends such as dissociative feminism; a deadeyed, self-destructive, fleabag-esque iteration of the manic pixie dream-girl trope, trad-wives; the newer, shinier 1950s housewife with a ring light and a raw vegan diet, and the rise of the ‘soft girl’ lifestyle; sleepily encouraging women to hang up their work boots and prioritise rest and relaxation, financial independence be damned. There are also wider concerns regarding the decline of feminism in 2025, with the UN citing that the manosphere is bringing misogyny back into the mainstream, and women's rights world wide being eroded. What is clear is that we are in an era of postfeminism, with the influence of online discourse impossible to unpick from real world losses for the feminist movement, such as the repeal of Roe v Wade in the US, or the uptick in femicide in the UK. This growing sense of disillusionment has led many to look backward, finding unexpected comfort in nostalgia for the 2010s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8d54e673-57e0-4ad3-a329-4a75e8a21fef/2016+Femnism+2.png Features - Why Nostalgia For 2016 Feminism Is About More Than Sentimentality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/birds-in-a-gilded-rage-is-classy-our-way-of-coping monthly 0.5 2025-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2147970e-1647-46f8-ae9e-c9c56e8f1f52/GLAM+2.png Features - Birds in a Gilded Rage: Is “Classy” Our Way of Coping? - Make it stand out In a recent episode of The Bald And The Beautiful, Trixie Mattel lamented the state of fashion, stating: “I am fascinated with the gen z fixation on dressing like a 90’s Republican like ‘Get my starched shirt and my culottes—by the way, I’m 21.’” This beige shift has been a long time coming as we move through the 2020s. Where the youth once yearned for the brightly colored, strawberry-adorned, highly patterned costumes in the ashes of millennial minimalism, there has been an abrupt turn back to basics where individuality once reigned. While this could be attributed as a familiar reaction against the saturated hopes of this decade’s beginning, the accompanying conversations surrounding this movement signal a deeper frustration. Within the past three years, the terms “old money” and “quiet luxury” have been discussed to death. These concepts, titillating to young people online, seek to reveal and reproduce an assumed authenticity behind the ultrawealthy which goes beyond shallow notions of the ornate, trying to imitate their ease and authority through simplicity and unseen quality. It is an accessible imitation which prioritises values over commodity, although it still functions as commodification. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d52b1e2c-211c-4d92-aac6-037550e0878b/GLAM+1.png Features - Birds in a Gilded Rage: Is “Classy” Our Way of Coping? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-october-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f39b115e-63e1-4db6-8cdc-14a6c71b6964/MARAS.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes One of the nice features of this month is that it’s not September, and we’re out of Eclipse Season. While October will have its WTF moments, there’s plenty of astro-weather to enjoy too. Libra season highlights the collective desire for harmony, peace, diplomacy, justice, beautiful art and music, and excellent aesthetics. As corrupt institutions continue to erode the fabric of society and reality as we know it, it's increasingly vital to focus our individual and collective efforts on preserving these values, so that we may continue to enjoy them. There’s a lot of positive energy supporting us if we’re willing to forgo short-term thrills for long-term gains. What are we willing to personally sacrifice in order to live in a world that’s more beautiful, more harmonious, more just for all? The Full Moon in Aries on October 6th is very loud, and will bring big breakthroughs and culminations in our identities as well as our relationships. Mercury enters Scorpio that day as well, where it enjoys deep dives and exposing what’s hidden. Venus in Virgo will sextile Jupiter in Cancer on October 8th, reminding us that consistent acts of service, care, and love nurture and sustain community. Saturn in Pisces rains on Venus’ parade on October 11th, so romance and finances might feel rough for a few days. Venus sashays into Chateau Libra on October 13th, glamming up the skies and doing her best to lighten the mood for the remainder of the month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac0afbbe-5f50-46dc-87de-e3a7b328b653/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.23.17.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2aff07bd-2dc3-403d-8b3e-e3d1563b59f9/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.22.06.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b2e7abc1-ee28-4438-9074-80bb2dacbbbc/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.22.16.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5fa12c19-d7c6-4dda-9e27-c71cbfa85a70/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.22.27.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e8f0ec5c-7e75-44cc-8121-ed590b93699a/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.23.06.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/662c3d8e-478e-4ab7-a948-acfd525ece25/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.23.29.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e1c6803-98f4-4738-9062-c75346a83bdf/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.23.38.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e89aa5d7-1ac3-48c1-8700-1a3909cd7830/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.23.48.jpg Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67b85556-f8d6-4d1f-bc3f-142516b78106/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.23.58.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d5284741-b85a-4bef-9faf-0afe91e26fd8/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.24.06.jpg Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4455fcc7-4ba2-4353-af9e-fcb4eadc76bf/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.24.15.png Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92445ad0-970c-475d-aea0-ef8c93a7a504/Screenshot+2025-07-09+at+13.24.22.jpg Features - Maraschino’s October 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/girlworlds-serena-morris-guide-to-throwing-a-party monthly 0.5 2025-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f198306e-4759-4a23-9162-801740cd8e70/IMG_4850.PNG Features - girlworld’s Serena Morris’ Guide to Throwing a Party - Make it stand out Several girls huddled around a mirror, dabbing on various tones of blush and tracing their Cupid’s bows with lip liner, only to stop suddenly as the speaker echoes the first few lines of the That’s So Raven theme song, and dutifully belt the track out, word-perfectly. It’s this type of ‘getting ready’ camaraderie rooted deep in nostalgia that Morris hopes to replicate with girlworld party, ‘girls only’ parties hosted in Los Angeles and New York City, all designed with Morris’s distinct 90s/00s-inclined eye. The 31-year-old Los Angeles native started girlworld party last fall, aiming to provide a nightlife space that prioritises women, where they can party safely, in all intents of the word: no fear of getting in, no need to socialise under the metaphorical or physical male gaze, a place to move one’s body freely. A gathering of women, some arriving in groups, some solo, where the all-women DJ lineups embrace Rihanna and TLC, and aren’t afraid to throw in a track from The Cheetah Girls discography. And sometimes pizza is delivered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31b87c96-9dcd-44f2-96a0-b833fe0d13d6/IMG_4851.PNG Features - girlworld’s Serena Morris’ Guide to Throwing a Party - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-carrie-bradshaw-to-belly-conklin-musings-on-the-implications-of-the-bob monthly 0.5 2025-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07ecfef6-c4d5-4677-baa6-a060ee789f2b/IMG_4848.PNG Features - From Carrie Bradshaw to Belly Conklin: Musings on the Implications of the Bob On the last Wednesday of summer, social media algorithms far and wide abandoned their credo of an individualised curation to put one thing front and centre—the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty, and the haircut Belly would be sporting.

That’s what I want to do.’ There was really no deliberation about any of it,” she tells me, Zooming from her New York City apartment on a sunny late September morning. “I was just kind of like, ‘Why wouldn’t I do the thing that looks the most fun in the world?’ And then on top of it, it looks glamorous and it looks like an adventure. I’d look in the mirror and I'd be like, ‘I have a very insane rubber band face, like, expressive in a way that I don't see in most people around me, and my voice is so goddamn loud.’ I just should be an actress.

How Reality TV Helped Normalise Parental Estrangement I haven’t spoken to my dad in 13 years. That’s not the kind of confession you expect to make in an article about Love is Blind but it’s the reason I couldn’t stop thinking about UK contestant Megan Jupp this season. When Megan opened up about her dad in the pods, it was oddly validating - an acknowledgment that estrangement exists and that it’s okay to talk about it. Love is Blind is not just reality TV designed for drama, it’s also a powerful tool for awareness, holding a mirror up to the diversity of family structures and the influence they have on our personal and romantic lives. Growing up, estrangement felt shameful. As a child I would tell people I didn’t speak to my dad and be met with awkward stares or a pitying “I’m sorry”. I don’t blame them, estrangement challenges assumptions about what “family” should look like but the silence around it felt isolating. That’s why it matters when shows like Love is Blind make space for these conversations. In a genre known for spectacle, this coverage wasn’t gossip but representation around parental estrangement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/18599f97-f188-4cc0-96d9-6969c4c799ff/estranged+families+2_.png Features - Is Love Blind?

Before I even conceived of the many versions of myself I would create online in the future, I would spend my hours of allotted screen time on our clunky family computer to speak to my friends using the instant messaging service. Mulling over the evolution of social media apps with my friend Nas, we both awkwardly laughed our way through our recounting the different social platforms that have consumed our time, since we were pre-teens. Following the popularity of MSN, early dominance of social media platforms was held by Bebo (2005-2014), Piczo (2003-2012) and then MySpace (2003-2011). Slowly but surely, it became the norm to speak to, share the world and even develop friendships with strangers online. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b9ebccdf-11bc-400b-aece-d4fdc4777fd8/internet+is+dead+2_.png Features - From Echo Chamber to Individualism: Why Social Platforms No Longer Serve Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/alexandra-yvette-feature-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35a7e3df-4388-4751-9c9b-7dc8f234587c/alexandrayvette-01.jpg Features - Alexandra Yvette on Venice Beach, Embracing Imperfection and Topless Swimsuits - Make it stand out Hollywood-based artist Alexandra Yvette has grown a social media following for her chic fashion sense and whimsical, girly illustrations that finds romance in the everyday. Her custom portraits are easily identified by their abstract style, and often capture girls accessorised with bows, blushed cheeks, and martini glasses, unlocking a nostalgia for the idea of adulthood many imagined in the 2000s but never experienced. Growing up as a self-confessed shy girl, Alexandra channelled her creativity into her sketchbook and built a career around her art. Outside of her original artwork and commissioned portraits she does live illustration events from LA to NY to Paris and beyond, where she sits down with her subjects and captures their essence with her pen and original style. Alexandra describes the atmosphere created at these events as that reminiscent of a 1920s Parisian salon – Paris, after all, being one of her many inspirations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34a4a345-5f6d-48d0-a334-db8613a76519/alexandrayvette-44.jpg Features -

Missy Flynn's Guide to Hosting the World’s Best Dinner Party - Make it stand out There are few people who’ve made hosting into more of an art form than Missy Flynn. The restaurateur is the woman behind London’s beloved cult American spot Rita’s – where the mini martinis are famous and the hospitality is warm and luxurious – and along with her brother Cameron, she’s one half of experimental drinks duo Malik Acid, who design menus taking inspiration from the seasons, and pushing the boundaries of what you might expect to taste in your glass (Londoners can find them collaborating with The Singleton whiskey on a drinks menu for Nature+ at Kings Cross’ Camley Street Nature Reserve, from 30th September to 5th October 2025 – more info at the end). So of course, now that summer is over and cosy dinner party season is starting to get into full swing, we had to tap Missy up for her advice on being the host without doing the absolute most – from “tablescaping” to dealing with the inevitable mishaps, plus why you should always keep the guest list spicy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/019272d4-4e1f-4bbd-9fcd-9d7ece818668/food+collage.jpg Features - Missy Flynn's Guide to Hosting the World’s Best Dinner Party - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-mawaan-rizwan-wants-you-to-be-stupid-with-him monthly 0.5 2025-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e2f70f8b-49ec-4793-989c-58a578a1ccb9/m31.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Mawaan Rizwan Wants You To Be Stupid With Him - Make it stand out Mawaan Rizwan is so full of energy that even as we speak over Zoom, I sense him jumping between ideas. As soon as one thought is committed to speech, it’s joined by two others shot off in rapid succession – and so, when he lets a statement rest, I immediately take note. “I think the only thing I really fully identify with is being a slippery fish,” he says, pausing for once. It’s clear that a singular idea of Mawaan is hard to hold onto. He releases music under the moniker MAWAAN; he has a background in stand-up comedy; he’s written for Sex Education as well as shows on CBBC; he’s been in Doctor Who; he’s made documentaries on queerness in Asia: he’s even been to clown school. “I'm a different person to people who’ve seen a different aspect of my work – and I love that,” he muses. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/anu-valias-guide-to-curing-your-internet-addled-brain monthly 0.5 2025-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a16c29ef-2a48-4fa7-a53b-c0933c99076e/anu+collage+2_.png Features - Anu Valia’s Guide to Curing Your Internet-Addled Brain Labubu Dubai Chocolate Looksmaxxing Manosphere Performative Male Final Boss.

But via our growing reliance on the algorithm to feed our vanishing attention spans with videos about taping our mouths shut and only eating beef and bone broth, it's also probably short-circuiting our synapses – at least that’s what Anu Valia thinks.

From the repressive class stratification of the Georgian landed gentry to the encroaching corporatization of human connection, romance often pits the timelessness of love against a problem du jour. Today, that problem is hetero-pessimism. Hetero-pessimism (now re-named “hetero-fatalism”) is a term coined by Asa Seresin back in 2019 to describe a rise of “performative disaffiliations” occurring among straight people in recent years. By this he means that people, most often women, in the heterosexual dating scene have become fatigued with the many ways that heterosexual romance produces a gendered dynamic of women wanting and men avoiding. This, for Seresin, results in expressions of giving up altogether, without ever actually doing so. It’s a temptation to which I myself am not immune - phrases like “men suck” and “I wish I was a lesbian” make frequent appearances in our group chats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c3d21c4-0d1b-4151-abb5-e222171cf2e9/cinecism+collage+1.png Features - Cinecism: On Splitsville, The Threesome and Hetero-Optimism for the Cynical Soul?&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/must-we-all-be-making-reels-to-make-it-in-our-careers monthly 0.5 2025-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7fcd429c-efe7-4873-86ca-2be16ee77451/self+promote+collage+1.jpg Features - Must We All Be Making Reels to ‘Make It’ in Our Careers?&nbsp; Joan Didion once sat in her study all day and did nothing but write, interrupted only by the occasional call of the telephone or her husband asking her what she wanted for tea. The same cannot be said of anyone pursuing a creative career nowadays: you must be everywhere at once, answering every Instagram DM, Slack notification, and email, all the while, somehow, miraculously meeting your deadlines. In today’s digital culture, you are no longer just a writer, musician, or artist – you are a personal brand, a full-time content creator, and an algorithm hacker. Upskilling doesn’t mean finishing a training module – it means mastering trending audio, keeping up with platform shifts, and curating a persona that can compete with an endless feed of influencers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93abb1c3-99ac-4bed-b755-6bbf64d13a47/self+promote+collage+2.jpg Features - Must We All Be Making Reels to ‘Make It’ in Our Careers?&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/a-close-reading-of-female-friendships-in-white-chicks monthly 0.5 2025-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d90cf338-081c-47a4-a472-d2d2406f9405/white+chicks+collage+1.jpg Features - A Close Reading of Female Friendships in White Chicks Most people seem to remember White Chicks (2004) as a lovable disaster, a film so bad it’s impossible to look away. I’ve felt strangely defensive about it ever since I watched one of my favorite film YouTubers, YMS (YourMovieSucks), dismiss it as “conceptually lazy, unbelievable, and filled with outdated humour,” nothing more than a “surface-level idea of what women do and/or think.” That critique made me wonder if my own memory of the film was skewed, so I decided to revisit it just in case my opinions had shifted since I was a 10-year-old girl. The last time I saw White Chicks was in the early 2000s, when my older brother smuggled a DVD into the house and let me watch it with his “cool” friends. I didn’t speak a word of English then, but just being included was enough. Now, as I slowly retire from my overly vigilant online SJW career, I figured there could be no harm in rewatching an old, problematic favourite. And if anyone enjoys criticising a messy text, it’s me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8461aaa3-f1df-4f9c-a798-7ee075e14ada/white+chicks+collage+2.jpg Features - A Close Reading of Female Friendships in White Chicks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-smart-girl-industrial-complex-how-performative-intellectualism-replaced-being-hot-online monthly 0.5 2025-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cdbbd9e6-6720-4d87-a461-07102c4ed108/smart+girl+collage+2.jpg Features - The Smart Girl Industrial Complex: How Performative Intellectualism Replaced Being Hot Online It is 2016 and double maths begins at 9am.

Each September, New York City swells with hope. It’s popular to say that NYFW is “over,” and it’s true that the city’s fashion scene has fallen from grace over the past decade. But outside of the boring churn of major shows, young independent designers could be its lifeline, and the city whose subcultures have influenced the world has something spicy on its mind. This season, fashion sold sex. But is there something meaningful behind the edging or are we just tricks being turned? The evening before fashion week was filled with anticipation and dinners. While some schmoozed over prix fixe, a chaotic and camp runway show by The Twink Next Door took over Dallas BBQ. Models in stripper heels fed chicken wings to the front row and Hustler Hollywood shopping bags fluttered between tables like flagposts of the hot stuff to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ad96b1ef-0273-48cd-9760-237e8d1f306c/BEN+LOOK15.jpg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Ben Doctor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2eed158a-81ab-4eff-b95b-94ed3ba06a80/BEN+LOOK1.jpg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/45afdbf7-809b-4da1-b69e-b970287762b4/Photo+Sep+11+2025%2C+7+17+45+PM.jpg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Shawna Wu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/832801fb-3800-4cd6-be16-edbccdc87c5b/MILA+SULLIVAN+9.13.LOOKBOOK2308.jpg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Mila Sullivan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dff66312-7545-4fee-9e11-643c2c772cdc/IMG_1436.jpeg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Cadena Y Rosas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cdedb08d-d49f-4206-9aa3-4f6d43b6af3c/IMG_1442.jpeg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94fd1e86-b028-4b20-a327-c6cf187dd7a6/2025-09-14-AllinaLiu_3_%40karlatomanelli-2.JPG Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Allina Liu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d048cd5f-b6d2-4a64-b739-0fb6f9a10faa/2025-09-14-AllinaLiu_3_%40karlatomanelli-3.JPG Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6401ce7b-f91d-4337-9fae-fd071a06f08d/2025-09-14-AllinaLiu_3_%40karlatomanelli-29.JPG Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/017a0fd5-b80c-4277-ac44-4d7be860ad41/2025-09-14-AllinaLiu_3_%40karlatomanelli-33.JPG Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1983a985-a92c-44ab-89ef-009ea9764279/Lookbook_2-3_HR_033.jpg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Gabe Gordon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82144ed5-9001-4d6a-92cf-6eef1cf82b51/Lookbook_2-3_HR_029.jpg Features - Why Was New York Fashion Week So Horny? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-socio-political-forces-behind-the-language-of-naming-a-makeup-productnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a4ac0c42-101b-4384-b0a0-45de28fa9783/Makeup+collage+1.jpg Features - Orgasm Blush and the Socio-Political Forces Behind the Language of Naming a Makeup Product&nbsp; ‘Orgasm’ could be a Rorschach test. What comes to mind: sexual climax, or the classic warm salmon blush with golden shimmers from NARS Cosmetics? Beauty product names are fascinating. Beyond cadence and spectacle, they act as archival markers of public consciousness, reflecting the mores of each era. The mid-to-late 2010s, for example, were marked by Obama-era optimism and dusty rose matte liquid lipstick. Hillary Clinton was projected to win the U.S. presidency, Hamilton became a Broadway sensation, and the blogger-founded brand Huda Beauty established itself at the center of the beauty influencer content and choice feminism dominating the cultural zeitgeist. Consumerist narratives were shaped by the reformation of the weighty term 'empower' into the buzzword of the hour, as well as by the leveraging of the rhetoric of 'choice' as a catch-all validation. This depoliticised feminist framing reached shopping carts when Huda Beauty produced matte liquid lipstick “Trophy Wife” in 2016, followed by the matte bullet lipstick “Board Meeting” in 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/358d702f-5edf-4d63-bf52-f7c0d7b71980/makeup+collage+2.jpg Features - Orgasm Blush and the Socio-Political Forces Behind the Language of Naming a Makeup Product&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dollar-store-couture monthly 0.5 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c6200848-8b86-4c70-8e9a-48f08e68ee09/Kelli+Maguire_Group+Shot.jpeg Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR Anja Cecilia is the New York based designer creating wild, weird and wonderful looks with items from the dollar store. Strange plastic trinkets, a 99c shower curtain, sheets of off brand anime stickers, any item that sparks Cecilia’s imagination can find its way into one of her looks, the more surreal the better. “Some people call these materials trash. I call it couture with bad PR,” says Cecilia, “We’re taught that value lives in the logo or the resale price,” she says. “But at the dollar store, the logic flips. The most precious items aren’t the trendiest or most expensive. They’re the weird leftovers. The random things that somehow make your heart flutter.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1ce807dd-8c41-44f3-9f2e-a770374aa4b7/Kelli+Maguire_Bag+Dress.jpeg Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b089d29b-472f-4aff-9fa6-b7203405ca8c/Kelli+Maguire_Stud+Pants.jpeg Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/117e5650-f84f-43cb-9290-f0aa939342da/Gracie+Gianoukos_Group+Landscape.JPG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6fbeabb-a778-441e-a8f4-519bfb24a3ec/Gracie+Gianoukos_Cartoon.JPEG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b4e4f158-777e-468c-a187-9f292fdc2e9c/Gracie+Gianoukos_Identity+Crisis+2.JPEG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d9cc6d5-9568-42a7-9a77-7c4bc1861fbc/Gracie+Gianoukos_Frog.JPEG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a6f3c2b-72c9-49b9-b654-d6831922d0da/Gracie+Gianoukos_Shopping.JPEG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/faa493a3-6c9a-4cd7-9fec-5fca13b68283/Reveka+Pasternak_Assets+1.JPG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22cf657b-a034-4a8a-9c71-10094826a358/Reveka+Pasternak_Finale.JPG Features - Dollar Store Couture is Giving Trash Good PR - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fat-anna-wintours-fashion-squeeze-london-fashion-weeks-flop-era-an-analysis monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/53f066e4-061b-45ac-a239-5705bb773f74/LFW1.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: ​​London Fashion Week’s Flop Era - An Analysis - Make it stand out Ladies, start your engines, London Fashion Week has begun. There’s a more optimistic feeling this season: 18% more designers are showing than in February and the British Fashion Council’s new CEO announced new, designer-first measures. Still, the discourse around LFW has been revolving around two words: flop era. The previous season was only 4 days long, half of Paris. For years, British designers have been decamping in droves to the European fashion weeks. Cult favourites like Martine Rose, Kiko Kostadinov and Grace Wales Bonner have all left the London calendar. Even Victoria Beckham, a household name, started showing in Paris in 2022. When the June edition of LFW was cancelled earlier this year (traditionally the men’s shows) it felt like a death knell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61ef3f37-ed5c-49f8-8f5c-a7ad3c829cc9/LFW2.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: ​​London Fashion Week’s Flop Era - An Analysis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/are-we-all-over-performing-our-lives-online monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0e928d0-6c35-43ed-9b61-bcd0653bd3e9/over+perceived+online+2.png Features - Are We All Over Performing Our Lives Online? I was catching up with a friend recently. She had recently returned from a holiday, and casually mentioned how she’d barely posted about it. “All the shots of the glistening waters of Hydra and the street carts in the Marrakech medina… all banked up for weeks following the trip and posted in one hurried and half-hearted dump.” Two years ago, this would’ve been unthinkable. Most everyday people (read: non-influencers) would have lived for that kind of content. “Do it for the gram,” “Get the shot” and “I want to post something tonight” were part and parcel with the everyday vernacular of millennials and Gen Z-ers like you and me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6743eb9-2ce1-4a70-bfca-35a4e52e9577/over+perceived+online+1.png Features - Are We All Over Performing Our Lives Online? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/save-us-dev-patel-anti-indian-hate-and-desi-representation monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5f96d2c1-810c-44be-bb48-082df5247880/anti+indian+hate+updated.png Features - Save Us, Dev Patel!

On it, she posted screenshots of a series of hate comments in response to her casting as Miss Wednesday, a.k.a. Nefertari Vivi in Netflix’s One Piece series 2, with an ironic caption: “Thanks for all your support.” This follows in a now-established tradition of non-white actors being cast in live action remakes and receiving hateful online backlash due to the perceived inaccuracies related to their skin tone. It's also not Chandran’s first encounter in online furor, as earlier this summer she went viral when photographed at Wimbledon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b36368f8-07c7-4c74-85ac-91f0b4f3f6b8/image-asset.png Features - Save Us, Dev Patel!

They’re mid-photoshoot, and around them stands an entourage: photographer, stylist, make-up artist, the works. Having just finished a round of images, they’re ready to change into their next look – but before they get there, someone rushes over to stop them: “Do you host Shop Cats?” they ask, wide-eyed. When Michelladonna replies in the affirmative, the person on the street bursts into tears of joy. “That has never happened to me,” Michelladonna laughs, remembering the encounter. “I was like ‘Oh, my God! Did I do something? I'm so sorry!’ But it was super sweet.” If the runaway success of Shop Cats has taught the world anything – it’s that people really love cats, and people really love Michelladonna. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af4b4f3d-0742-484b-bfce-03c48f81443c/MXP-17.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56040321-b191-4397-85f2-f06c5041ddbb/MXP-15.jpeg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7b043367-0443-4069-9f8d-0bb79dedd025/MXP-29.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bb27001f-46cd-49d1-a1d6-0afb54231b55/MXP-28.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/284f5a7b-b376-4488-a7f3-f2e029e536c8/MXP-1-3.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d209f125-ed41-4614-8fc3-5aa30a80f8e4/MXP-12.jpeg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9719c470-f6e5-47ba-a222-af385d292852/MXP-30tif.jpeg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d3d2f78-bc23-46fd-a8be-b656593f248a/MXP-25.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6f784ee6-b262-421b-83ab-3e776277eab3/MXP-23.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e391fb11-af5f-43ae-9c5a-ac1d353d4a63/MXP-3.jpeg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0adeab7-d424-4343-9421-72c6e8a31840/MXP-24+.jpg Features - Michelladonna on New York City, Immigrant Communities and Shop Cats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jeanie-crystal-on-queen-bee-the-white-boys-and-the-end-of-the-world monthly 0.5 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22633bfd-77f3-4f2f-96d3-819330866611/JEANIE0285.jpg Features - Jeanie Crystal on Queen Bee, the White Boys and The End of The World In ‘Queen Bee’, the newest song by Jeanie and the White Boys, there’s an unbridled sense of rage represented in not just the catchy lyrics, but the pointedly anti-royalist music video.

I thought the best place to start would be my home state of Texas! In movies, on my favourite musicians, and basically any time I step out of the house, the global appeal of the cowboy and Western style never ceases to amaze me. I see takes on the look constantly and I have some strong opinions on what makes a good cowboy look. To a Texan, denim and boots are a hardworking and functional combo. This skin-covering duo keeps the poison ivy and stickers away, and saves you if you accidentally run into a barbed-wire fence (this I know from experience). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7d3536a8-86ff-4213-99a7-477d325aa2ef/how+to+cowboy+1.png Features - How to Cowboy: A Guide to Styling the Americana Favourite - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-september-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69adad91-8ec4-4bfb-8611-a55c4fb24b02/Screenshot+2025-09-09+at+13.37.46.png Features - Maraschino’s September 2025 Horoscope Welcome to Eclipse season. To be fair, this entire year has felt like Eclipse season, so I’m interested to see what this month is bringing our way. Transformation seems unavoidable this month. Saturn's last stand in Pisces for 29 years starts on September 1st, tasking us with tying up any loose ends related to boundaries, beliefs, spirituality, escapism and emotional patterns. On September 2nd, Mercury ingresses into Virgo, where communication sharpens, efficiency is everything, and the minutiae matters. From September 5th through November 7th, Uranus moonwalks through Gemini, asking us to rewind the tape and get caught up on anything we’ve missed since July. Then, the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 7th brings fated endings, karmic closures, second chances, and hopefully some silver linings courtesy of Jupiter in Cancer. On September 18th, Mercury enters Libra with flirty diplomacy and a talent for indecision. The following day Venus drops her Leo sequins for Virgo linen, and love is expressed through acts of service and nitpicking. Kidding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s September 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54a60e71-7b05-4980-b72a-1700846818df/Screenshot+2025-09-08+at+16.31.56.png Features -

Etsy Witches and the Commodification of Spirituality&nbsp; - Make it stand out It’s about 9pm on a Tuesday evening, and I’ve been stuck on the Eurostar for five hours. We’re stopped somewhere in the middle of the French countryside, waiting for… something. I should have been in London over three hours ago, but instead I’m wedged into a packed carriage, panic-texting my friends and scrolling mindlessly through TikTok. Across the aisle, two groups – four girls and four guys – seem to have staged their own version of Love Island: coupling up, roaming the train, swigging duty-free booze they’d stocked up on at the station. I’m fairly sure they were strangers before boarding, which makes it sting even more that, despite being roughly their age and speaking the same language, I was not considered worthy of inclusion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e3fb6975-504f-4f0e-8843-50bfd6faa50b/spirituality+website+collage.jpg Features - Etsy Witches and the Commodification of Spirituality&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/unemployment-memes monthly 0.5 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60f65c1c-486a-42f6-acc8-39e6bf0d1b80/unemoyment+collage+2.png Features - What’s Lurking Beneath Our Obsession with Employment Memes? They’re everywhere. Lurking in your group chats, watching your Instagram Stories within seconds, and sending you 37 TikToks in a row — all before noon. Being that one unemployed friend is a tough gig, but someone’s got to do it. After my freelance era turned into an unemployment era, my pals helpfully took it upon themselves to send me memes about it. A lot. But what shocked me most about these memes wasn’t just how prolific they are. It's their diversity and ability to encapsulate the good, the bad, and the ugly of the joblessness experience, whether that be censoring the word ‘job,’ or yearning for your unemployment days once you finally get a job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35aa05f7-e0bb-4c5a-a136-b6cf81c200e4/unemployed+1.png Features - What’s Lurking Beneath Our Obsession with Employment Memes? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-the-rise-of-the-lesbian-bf monthly 0.5 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6661781d-0d24-4c48-9e32-7b8084349cb9/Lesbian+BF+1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: The Rise of the Lesbian BF - Make it stand out A new archetype is surfacing in queer and pop cultural discourse: the girlfriend who embodies the boyfriend. Circulating through TikTok captions, memes, and fan edits, the “GF BF” — or “lesbian boyfriend” — flips the heteronormative script, reclaiming the traditionally masculine-coded figure of the boyfriend and queering it into a space of play, camp, and utter devotion. The GF/BF is less about substituting one gender role for another than about bending the frame altogether: a girlfriend or a partner who assumes the gestures, postures, and rituals once coded as masculine, from carrying the bags to buying the flowers. What emerges is a collapse of femme/masc markers into something more fluid, and resistant to fixed definition. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-to-shop-vintage-with-allisons-archive monthly 0.5 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9f4235b6-9635-43d5-b131-43c023f0ca99/Kr_Shakht_P_V_AA_09.JPG Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive Stepping inside Allison’s Archive on the Upper East Side is like entering into a real life version of every fantasy closet you’ve ever dreamed of. Pink rails flow over with the kind of rare, expertly curated pieces that make you gasp, omg this! every few seconds. Whether its straight from the runway 90s Gucci, or an archival Dolce & Gabbana lace tunic, last seen on Britney Spears, every item in her jewellery box of a showroom is sourced by Allison Dickerman herself and represents her deep knowledge of fashion history and her singular vintage obsession. Cher Horowitz, Carrie Bradshaw and Blair Waldorf are screaming crying throwing up. One dreamy New York day we got to pay Allison’s Archive a visit and shoot our favourite pieces. Of course we also grilled Allison on how to shop vintage like an expert. Read her guide and our interview below! p.s. all items in our shoot are shoppable via Allison’s online store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756818576327-Z9521CWAUCAUERO2LV10/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+14.09.10.png Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41e1a6c6-51e1-4bcb-8480-1e5f8e4ab9e3/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+14.15.00.png Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c9d4e37-556f-4bab-a2c9-26f8939c5404/Kr_Shakht_P_V_AA_05a.jpg Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756818575910-3645LBY6IMH93GRME40H/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+14.08.15.png Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756818347816-SJ0M6JEX4PLM7MZPBYRR/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+14.04.12.png Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756818354046-SQNOY1G2JXA44NSA57S4/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+14.04.24.png Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb666f9e-7b44-4c3d-b8f4-01c3e50304c7/Screenshot+2025-09-02+at+14.13.02.png Features - How to Shop Vintage with Allison’s Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/introducing-polyesters-new-film-columnist-maia-wyman-aka-broey-deschanel monthly 0.5 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3e2af37c-09dc-4391-9a09-48997d7e2731/3.JPG Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Maia Wyman, who is better known to film fans as the cultural critic Broey Deschanel, has some early memories of YouTube, but they are not wholly positive ones. She recalls mid-2000s slop before slop became a thing, and the Shane Dawson videos that had kids entranced in the platform’s nascency. It was for this reason that Broey ignored the platform for years, until a friend told her that she’d been binging a new kind of content: video essays. When she delved back into YouTube, she discovered people like Lindsay Ellis, Thomas Flight, NerdWriter, Every Frame a Picture, all delivering engaging, cultural critiques of films. For Broey, who immediately describes herself as “a person with many opinions”, it marked a beginning. After being gifted a microphone, she sat down and created her first video – a feminist critique of the way women are depicted in John Hughes' films. With the internet being the way the internet is, and feminism still feeling radical on YouTube, Broey received a lot of hate, but it didn’t deter her. Over the years, she has built a platform and fanbase for her smart takes, with almost half a million subscribers, and her channel has become the place to go for insightful film criticism – whether she’s diving into Sofia Coppola’s politics of prettiness, examining depiction and endorsement in Liquorice Pizza, or explaining exactly why Saltburn sucks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5aaa686f-452f-4c89-bddf-762c3e77426b/2.jpg Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Top and Bra: Weed Slut | Shorts: SC103 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d156306-320f-4d31-812c-e9fed648a4cb/1.JPG Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c4d0e98-2921-4804-97be-178378e43c8e/7.jpg Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Top and Skirt: Elizaveta Rakhmankulova | Leggings: Stylist’s Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a6321a4-ed13-4c80-92f7-725fde00a16e/9.JPG Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Dress: SC103 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31597837-057a-4a63-a191-3cb59830208f/8.JPG Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Dress: Meruert Tolegen | Boots: Jil Sander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fab876b8-e359-40ea-b9df-1f5f0dbbb576/10.JPG Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c5b2419-8ad6-4aa2-9a1b-9f4ac4a60d24/5.jpg Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Dress: Sophia Fish | Belt: SC103 | Socks: Stylist’s Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1bd12f0-c584-4157-94e5-887b865d429a/4.jpg Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8ec326c-9b75-4706-9cb8-eb8e207934e1/Red+and+Gold+Illustrated+Trophy+Oscar+Invitation.png Features - Introducing Polyester’s New Film Columnist - Maia Wyman, aka Broey Deschanel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/pedro-almodvar-joan-crawford-and-ursula-the-sea-witch-the-camp-as-tits-inspirations-of-women-wearing-shoulder-pads monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808921778-GIQJBIUJX1PSS9WBFIHL/AS_WWSP_5.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads Adult Swim’s new Spanish-language stop-motion series just might be one of the best things I’ve watched this year. Dramatic revelations, feuding divas, scorned lovers and ‘80s fashion. No, I’m not talking about Dynasty: this is Women Wearing Shoulder Pads. The first Spanish-language series from Adult Swim is deliciously camp, with surprisingly profound themes including the complicated relationship between mother and daughter, as well as imperialism, capitalism and our exploitation of nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808927146-QDI2VCW34RJVA4NWOZRV/AS_WWSP_7.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808925020-QJ2368S9SZKML3SL1QVH/AS_WWSP_7_ALTERED.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808925536-SN3EPR6B8HK8YNE3L1SK/AS_WWSP_7_ConceptArt.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808919225-OV4XBXUT2A5VBWERZKXM/AS_WWSP_3.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808918179-0APQWEZM4E4SUT624N6N/AS_WWSP_2.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808921042-CRLB9CPFP7FQY3RITSJC/AS_WWSP_4.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808914659-DUT3QE4U4NLNQESY8O42/AS_WWSP_1_Sketch.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808915126-8TAEQBD00R2PAZJRA1RL/AS_WWSP_1.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756808923860-INBKLGJFTDJO8TD6PUDQ/AS_WWSP_6.png Features - Pedro Almodóvar, Joan Crawford and Ursula The Sea Witch: The Camp As Tits Inspirations of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/clara-hupe-hair-got-attitude monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae043b72-346d-4a25-a73e-8da2267ff384/Photo_04.jpg Features - My Hair Got Attitude: Clara Hupé’s New Editorial Embraces the Totality of Hair - Make it stand out Hair is more than just an accessory – it’s a statement, a personality of its own.

As a sex educator across many schools throughout Brooklyn, I’m often only around ten minutes into a birth control workshop when I inevitably get the question again. “I heard on TikTok it will completely mess up your hormones if you take birth control. Is that true?” This isn’t just a singular instance at one school with one student, it’s almost guaranteed to come up in every class I teach if I mention the words “birth control”. I can’t blame the students who raise these questions. The reality is that I’ve seen the same stories on my own For You page. From cautionary tales of influencers detailing how birth control wrecked their bodies, to messaging encouraging young people to steer away from any form of hormonal contraceptive, to blatant misinformation on birth control side effects and risks. Internalising any of that information, especially from an internet figure you trust, might make even the most enthusiastic birth control advocates question themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2c09bc82-d105-4ec5-aaa0-366fa0b3b94e/birth+control+collage+2.jpg Features - So When Did The Internet Start Hating Birth Control? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-marc-maron-and-the-charisma-of-a-curmudgeon monthly 0.5 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a005fc18-2327-421c-9aa0-eb5ba49c66de/marc+maron+1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Marc Maron and the Charisma of a Curmudgeon - Make it stand out Daddies are in – that is, politically progressive, emotionally aware, non-threatening daddies. A daddy needn’t be a man, of course, but when it comes to men, finding one over 50 without a problematic past is a Sisyphean undertaking. Among comic the pickings are even slimmer. Recently, while contemplating my lust for a certain podcasting, stand-up zaddy of the curmudgeon variety, I wondered about this cultural phenomenon. What caused the collective thirst, and what was the allure of this neurotic silver fox in particular? It stands to reason that modern democratic backsliding and a rise in fascistic thinking would naturally send the more sensitive of us running into the arms of a capable, caring daddy. While some may spring for the solace of a gentle dom, I need a firm hand – the sort of safety that only a cantankerous comedian with good politics and a stubborn disposition can provide. I want Marc Maron to talk vehemently at me. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/camping-ozempic-the-glamourisation-of-weight-loss-charging-the-y2k-skinny-revival monthly 0.5 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b97dc8be-aff4-404d-bb8b-f3d2df22b894/ozempic+website+collage.jpg Features - Camping Ozempic: The Glamourisation of Weight Loss Charging the Y2K Skinny Revival Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro. No. More. Sorrow. Ari Dayan’s dance-pop song blares from the speakers of the bar in Montreal’s gay village where I’m having drinks with a handful of friends. At the end of the night we walk through the neighbourhood towards the metro, past the rows of pride flags that are hanging from every other lamppost. A friend points at a bear flag up above us. He lets out an emphatic sigh, lamenting that “they’ll be extinct soon…Ozempic is gonna be the death of the bear”. He gets a strong laugh from the group as well as some over-the-top sad frowns, and he is clearly onto something. Evidently, he’s referencing the new ubiquity of Ozempic. But he also speaks to a campification and glamourisation of Ozempic-use that has made its frivolous use problematically desirable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/63488ad5-3d49-46e0-8ace-ca9ea26b3527/ozempic+collage+2.jpg Features - Camping Ozempic: The Glamourisation of Weight Loss Charging the Y2K Skinny Revival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-girl-with-swan-bones-editorial-is-a-fantastical-exploration-of-balletcore monthly 0.5 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756298891014-W0D42JLDSTSLU27PB7Z5/Ballerina_02.jpg Features - The Girl with Swan Bones Editorial is a Fantastical Exploration of Balletcore Inspired by Swan Lake, soft surrealism, and girlhood as mythology, it follows a dreamlike character split into three versions of herself — a ballerina, a fading princess, and a sleepwalker lost in performance.

It’s a saccharine mixture of feminine storytelling, surreal softness, and identity through visual myth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1756298907233-ED2LDJSDI0J07WEDKSC4/Ballerina_VHSStill_02.jpg Features -

I Miss Everything: Three Girls Who Lost Their Homes on the Lasting Longing Left by the Los Angeles Fires I grew up in Los Angeles, and I know how special it is to exist not just near nature, but within it. You feel as though Mother Nature is embracing you, every summer breeze a little sigh of her breath. It feels both welcoming and dangerous that the waves crash and the sun burns year-round, even in Capricorn season. The 110 freeway alone feels like it could kill you, if it wanted to. Still, nothing can prepare you for the feeling of your shelter disappearing in a moment, along with the treasures and heirlooms you’ve amassed over lifetimes. Here, I interview three friends who each lost everything in the LA fires this January. They are Annabel, Marta, and Georgia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3da958e2-7c10-44c0-8160-f73f9960c69a/LA+1.png Features - I Miss Everything: Three Girls Who Lost Their Homes on the Lasting Longing Left by the Los Angeles Fires - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/onlyfans-twins-how-users-are-using-ai-to-be-always-available monthly 0.5 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a37c786e-ee1f-41e2-8f54-0b5924af30fd/onlyfans+1.png Features - OnlyFans Twins: How Users are Using AI to be Always Available Adverts for OnlyFans have become so common that you’ve likely scrolled past posts promising “Hot singles in your area” during your morning commute. But look closer and some of these models start appearing a bit too perfect. Lounging against neon-lit walls, or emerging dripping from the ocean, skin is glaringly clear, hair tightly coiffed – these singles aren’t just in your area: they’re right in your pocket.

After eating a meal with my friend Emma on the last night of my 20s, we stood outside a restaurant in central London and she asked me: “Do you want your present?” This, of course, is one of the best questions in the English language (the others, by the way, are “Would you like 20 million quid no strings attached?”, “Can I get you some cheese on that?” and “Do you want anything from the shop?”), so I answered as enthusiastically as you can when you are full of birthday ice cream, and Emma pulled out her phone, telling me to check my WhatsApp. My gift had been sent to our chat. To my deep and heretofore unmatched delight, it was a Cameo video from the most beloved man in my life: Romford, Essex’s very own Big John. Big John became famous for his Chinese takeaway hauls on TikTok (which is where I first encountered him; the algorithm once again knowing us better than we know ourselves, for better or worse), wherein give a rundown of his order, and say “bosh” loads, as a way to celebrate the majesty of the meal. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/inter-alia-takes-on-the-manosphere-from-all-angles monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b5d137a1-06c4-4406-ac69-557c7b4da06c/inter+alia+1.png Features - Inter Alia Takes On the Manosphere From All Angles There have been many attempts at taking audiences behind the scenes of the UK court system, with BBC drama after BBC drama dedicated to showing the judicial system from the points of view of prosecutors, defendants, plaintiffs and solicitors. Writer and previous worker within the legal system, Suzie Miller, takes these conversations to the stage.

The cruise provided Ramos with an opportunity – not only to meet the Olsen twins but also to take a photo with them, which sparked a lifelong love for Ramos – that of being a fan. “I believe that everyone who is in the entertainment industry is there because they were once a fan of somebody,” Ramos explains, “There's no better conversation than when people get really animated and almost embarrassed about how excited they are.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/72fcc21a-b74e-4cd3-bbb1-123a090d57d1/Kr_Shakht_P_S_08.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Dress: Aknvas | Gloves: Gucci | Shoes: Studio Amelia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/58373a26-a628-4454-850d-55f7754f560d/Kr_Shakht_P_S_09a.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/624a9e81-efbf-4682-bc11-a66ba8b6ff4a/Kr_Shakht_P_S_06.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Dress: Meruert Tolegen | Tights: Wolford | Shoes: Lucasheva https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d84fcd2-016b-4fb3-a97c-ac53e4037f13/Kr_Shakht_P_S_12.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Dress: Shushu/Tong | Shoes: Studio Amelia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ed05d12-16d0-43fd-b745-de863383e607/Kr_Shakht_P_S_05b.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Dress: Sandy Liang | Shoes: Taottao https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbaca91b-c8e8-442b-9012-f881269b719e/Kr_Shakht_P_S_07.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Dress: Shushu/Tong | Shoes: Sandy Liang https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de44d66c-3e70-4161-9639-01d0b50ef989/Kr_Shakht_P_S_03.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac2ee96f-6b3d-4d5e-9273-708c4400ffb1/Kr_Shakht_P_S_13.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b2f0185a-a6a5-4507-8f5b-47b86994a212/Kr_Shakht_P_S_01a.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d604eca3-1006-4246-91c5-c14e19a5eb62/Kr_Shakht_P_S_10.jpg Features - Sarah Ramos on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hounding Autographs, and Celebrity as a Service Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ellen-ystehede-on-sentimental-value-channelling-scandi-style-and-collaborating-with-joachim-trier monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc895727-0c97-4f98-bffb-85bb9d31f8d3/sentimental+value+1.png Features - Ellen Ystehede on Sentimental Value, Channelling Scandi Style and Collaborating with Joachim Trier Tenderness is the new punk – or so says visionary Nordic filmmaker Joachim Trier, who coined the phrase at the 78th Cannes Film Festival earlier this year in reference to his existential, meditative and thoroughly melancholic directorial approach. As the creative behind dressing his emotionally nuanced and oftentimes effusive characters Ellen Ystehede is a fundamental piece in Trier’s cinematic jigsaw. Their work together began with Oslo, August 31st (2011) and has continued right up to the present day with the release of the auteur’s hotly anticipated, Cannes Grand Prix-winning feature film, Sentimental Value (2025). Co-written with Eskil Vogt, the film centres around themes of estrangement, vulnerability and reconciliation – and boasts a stellar cast featuring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning. Ahead of the film’s theatrical release, Polyester spoke with the Norwegian costumer and CSM alum about all things design, analysing characters’ idiosyncrasies and the edification in finding a creative collaboration that just works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a2402dd7-f35c-4687-acf8-88c6fa3fd967/sentimental+value+2.png Features - Ellen Ystehede on Sentimental Value, Channelling Scandi Style and Collaborating with Joachim Trier - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maris-jones-guide-to-creating-from-your-bedroom monthly 0.5 2025-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/87e2218b-4f3d-4545-8a9f-c885357b5232/20250525-000009500009.jpg Features - Maris Jones' Guide to Creating From Your Bedroom Maris Jones has been creative since day dot. The Philadelphian set designer, author, filmmaker and artist was born to creative parents and encouraged to make her stamp on the world from the get go. For years, Jones worked from her bedroom in her own little world, using dolls and anything she could get her hands on to craft narratives and explore her imagination. As she got older and, just like the rest of us, got her hands on social media, the 33-year-old took a left turn approach to the trending platform of the time – Vine. Instead of the six second comedy skits many of her peers used the app for, Jones used Vine to express herself, creating and sharing everything from stop-motion, paper doll lip syncs to starring in her own short form music videos. We pour one out for Vine on our Zoom call, where Jones joins from her artist studio in New York, her camera background filled with various props shoved onto shelves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5d0e8034-51cd-43eb-89f6-7962a90dd133/20250525-000009430017.jpg Features - Maris Jones' Guide to Creating From Your Bedroom - Make it stand out Necklace & Ring: Vesper Obscura | Shorts: Retrofete | Top: Maris Vintage Archive | Shoes: Steve Madden | Earrings: Talent’s Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2a535ce3-2b47-4009-a080-eeec0c1bdb2e/20250525-000009470027.jpg Features - Maris Jones' Guide to Creating From Your Bedroom - Make it stand out Top: Reagan Flora | Skirt: Jalyn Young | Shoes: Vetements | Gloves: Pipenco Lorena | Earrings: Talent’s Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/30144763-dd72-4e5c-b61d-a744cc2afaf4/20250525-000009470036.jpg Features - Maris Jones' Guide to Creating From Your Bedroom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae497f88-5d04-4a81-87da-ab6686240aca/20250525-000009520024.jpg Features - Maris Jones' Guide to Creating From Your Bedroom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-trans-pride-venus-xtravaganza-and-marsha-p-johnson monthly 0.5 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c0db363-167b-4ca0-a1bc-cabae74697bb/marsha+venus+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Trans Pride, Venus Xtravaganza and Marsha P. Johnson Another summer of Prides is coming to a close, and it’s time we really started to evaluate what is working for us and what isn’t. Earlier this year I exhorted you all to take the counter-cultural cry of BE GAY DO CRIME to heart, to examine the function of Pride and its place as Protest, rather than Party. I definitely went into this season with more intention than previously, and ultimately felt all the better for it. Trans Pride marches, protests, fundraising parties, free parties, celebration of community, uplifting trans artists and clubnights – it all serves our dream of Queer Liberation, not Assimilation. Now, in the face of increasingly conservative and right wing governments, even from politicians who claimed to be our allies, it is important that we do not lose ourselves to the general malaise of a difficult existence. We need to act with intention in all that we do, and it's important that the media we consume reflects that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e887b532-dbde-419b-9447-9e74d11f2689/marsha+venus+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Trans Pride, Venus Xtravaganza and Marsha P.

In some ways, I feel like I am talking to an old friend from school. Remy is kind and quickly disarming — despite the fact she has recently signed to Warner and has been featured as one of Billboard’s 21 Under 21 and championed by Elton John. If you are a regular consumer of content on the internet, it is unlikely that you will not have heard Remy Bond’s songs accompany your daily scrolls (see Summer Song, which has been noted as the catalyst for her popularity after going viral), but many know her most for her incredibly curated aesthetic. Crafted from what I learn is a genuine love for retro aesthetics backed up by a deep interest in the aural language of a time gone by, Remy stands on stages with sky-high peroxide blonde hair and pops out of cakes in vintage dresses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1755168714327-9UDV9N1KLQ5HF6NE30G9/1+copy.jpg Features -

Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope Hello fellow kids and welcome to August 2025. There will be high notes and some wonky ones – but like my bud John Keats always says, “Uproar is your only music”, so, as my other occasional pal Henry Rollins would tell you: get in the van. The charming, charismatic, and sexy Sun in Leo presides over the festivities for the first three weeks of the month, so I hope that you’ll use this time to find your light, love, fun, and creative outlets, despite the many horrors persisting. On August 6th, Mars enters Libra in hot pursuit of justice, truth, fairness, and equality in all our dealings. With Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius as accomplices, we’re likely to get somewhere and it will no doubt be an interesting ride. Mars’ opposition with Saturn and Neptune on the 8th and 9th will test relationships - personal, professional, global - of all kinds, so do your best to prioritise diplomacy, try not to be passive aggressive, and avoid people altogether if you can’t do the first two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cfd18f3e-fdd8-4e05-9231-d0831917de1b/1.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/109a0fd6-0bfe-487b-a455-703d8feafb71/2.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42814f14-a1e4-43e3-90af-f8f17abe6dd9/3.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39b781fa-08e6-4bce-9dcf-fca3c7703906/4.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae16bf42-70a2-4537-8bda-8f4fc31d97e8/5.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4683a268-aa08-48f8-9426-e8fe5423284a/6.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/246b245c-845d-44c6-b430-48690ec3fd56/7.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c006d06a-d165-4b8d-bc30-6d141d9fe52c/8.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa8275ae-250f-4108-b572-d04d807a7f47/9.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/16602c65-7d19-46f2-9342-38e25a1cb495/10.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36739198-b88a-4b83-8cf7-1c2fddd9a7dd/11.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a06a1c09-7aa0-4954-a5b9-db92802848a7/12.png Features - Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-what-we-can-learn-from-nardwuar monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d295d3fc-05ad-4038-b0f6-0d74d51abb70/Nardwuar+1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: What We Can Learn From Nardwuar - Make it stand out Listening is a sought-after trait in men – and people in general, to be fair – as a means to demonstrate interest in and care for those around them. As such, a reigning professional listener is my personal man of the moment: celebrity interviewer Nardwuar (The Human Serviette). Nardwuar, a Canadian music journalist known for startlingly in-depth research and questions, has been in the game for more than three decades and in that time has risen to the top of his field while maintaining a DIY production ethos. Watching a Nardwuar interview makes you wonder, “just how much research would the man of my dreams do into my artistic work?” The answer is: likely not as much as Nardwuar. The man embodies many attractive traits by virtue of his profession as an interviewer: being a good listener, demonstrating interest and asking questions, gift-giving, and more. As such: join me as I declare Nardwuar as not only an unparalleled music journalist but an exemplary date… https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/behind-the-scenes-on-jasmine-de-silvas-body-horror-short-film-beauty-sleep monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9124f98-5e86-4aa9-ab1e-d08ae4fd9167/Beauty_Sleep_Still_Face.png Features - Behind the Scenes on Jasmine De Silva’s Body Horror Short Film ‘Beauty Sleep’ Beauty Sleep is a retrofuturistic short film about beauty, identity and the dangerous pursuit of perfection. In the Beauty Sleep world, cosmetic enhancement is different and more extreme from our own, as a representation of the absurd actions we take in order to achieve perfection. New boobs, butts and faces can be purchased, sewn on and bedazzled to your choosing. And the latest beauty trend? “Sleeping Beauty Makeovers”.

This series documents the mysterious, messy landscapes that form when sleep, snack-time, emotional breakdowns and three outfit changes collide. Part anthropological study, part forensic investigation, each image captures a small universe of forgotten, each image captures a small universe of forgotten romance novels, day of the week underwear, Labubus, rogue vibrators, journals half filled with existential dread, and at least one mysterious object that no one – including the subject – can identify. These cluttered microcosms reflect the lives of their owners more honestly than any curated living room ever could. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b281c08-15c9-4860-8d69-965a8f3645a4/_S0A9230.jpg Features - Zine Exclusive: Between the Sheets with Elizabeth Renstrom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c0cac41-0242-4aa0-b18e-e603338d008e/_S0A9280.jpg Features - Zine Exclusive: Between the Sheets with Elizabeth Renstrom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f193dc2-ef6f-4f06-b5d4-f64f57b8457b/_S0A9350.jpg Features - Zine Exclusive: Between the Sheets with Elizabeth Renstrom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/isabella-lovestorys-guide-to-being-a-pop-princess-in-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ce5db0f-49a0-4850-83ad-4ee40eb01326/isabella-elif-kiu-26.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 In 2025, everyone wants to be a popstar, but few have the sheer self-belief to actually pull it off. Honduran-born, Montreal-based Isabella Lovestory, however, was born to do it. With a daring approach to fashion, and a fearless take on musical style, melding whatever genres she feels like, she’s a true original who is exactly where she’s meant to be – and nothing she’s done in her career so far proves this more than her brand new second album Vanity. A full level-up into glitter-edged pop, the record is an explosion of ideas and influences, from reggaeton to visual kei, all brought together by Lovestory’s magnetic persona. And as she flourishes in her pop princess era, here, she gives you her tips on how to do it in 2025 – whether you’re on stage in front of thousands, creating a fan community online, or making bangers in your bedroom, it’s all about state of mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b12bdc7d-c5b1-44ff-8ee2-af18db8d157a/isabella-elif-kiu-22.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Headpiece: Stylist's own (remake) | Bra top: stylist's own (remake) | Skirt: Sukoshifushigi from 9foxroom | Shoes: Model's own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/139bec38-67b7-4ce3-be95-7c2e78533a8b/isabella-elif-kiu-13.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Tops: CSOPATIO | Belt: TE.COM from SwingUtopia | Shorts: Stylist's own | Stockings: Stylist's own | Shoes: Stylist's own (remake) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7f7ee55-fd12-45cd-a348-5d710622e983/isabella-elif-kiu-14.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ab04553-8ae1-46ae-894f-6a4e2c7a94c5/isabella-elif-kiu-32.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a45b5052-4974-4a13-81e1-8a0730e0bb18/isabella-elif-kiu.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b9608023-35bc-4938-ad8b-e594e3347eec/isabella-elif-kiu-12.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/267a9778-10c4-4dd0-8dd4-7fcf513cf5d4/isabella-elif-kiu-31.jpg Features - Isabella Lovestory's Guide to Being a Pop Princess In 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mia-teresas-latest-work-lives-in-the-liminal-spaces monthly 0.5 2025-08-05 https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/making-art-at-the-laundrette monthly 0.5 2025-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8825941d-8a57-4f44-8457-bfd497121fd2/launderette+2.jpg Features - How the Laundrette Became a Staple Space for Working Class Artists The cultural historian Edwina Atlee writes that when modern laundrettes were first established in Britain, they quickly became known as “gossip shops for lazy people.” This is a description that surely renders the laundrette its own kind of accidental paradise, for lazy gossipers like me, at least. That naming reminds us that laundry was once a communal task, done for decades at the local washhouse, then later, the laundrette. These places have long facilitated (unpaid) gendered labour, but they have also long been social spaces, integral to working-class women’s lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2c3fb77a-66b6-496a-b95d-4c35b9818539/launderette.jpg Features - How the Laundrette Became a Staple Space for Working Class Artists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dwell-on-the-transience-of-summertime-with-photographer-winter-browne monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de38bc86-cb6b-4bfd-af24-5ef4d4706447/6.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne Summer is such a magical time precisely because of the feeling that if we don’t grasp it in our hands, we will lose it: in other words, it’s transient. You have to make the most of it while it’s here, otherwise you’ll blink and it will be November and you’ll be trudging home with groceries, in the dark at 4:30PM. This feeling of letting the sunshine wash over you and soak into you, of luxuriating in long, stretched out evenings, is what photographer Winter Browne captures in this new editorial, The Transience of Summer. Here, we see a visual manifestation of the fleeting nature of this special time of year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59fb7cd1-2d0d-438d-94e2-a58c57f10f67/3.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Top and skirt: Lydia Li | Shoes: Courtesy of The NY Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c41787f-20cb-41a0-a551-8ef13140917a/VHS3.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Dress: Danika Leonor | Hat: Sideara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da28ab9e-e509-4118-a43c-cb3a40099121/1.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Hat: Sideara | Top: Vintage, Stylists’ own | Skirt: Jalyn Young | Shoes: Courtesy of The NY Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b7f73d1-f565-4b60-868d-574229219a28/VHS2.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9f12f10-6e64-4e86-a04c-69f8eb434353/4.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eaec8b75-c562-4d19-a2b7-698527c40e9d/VHS1.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Dress: Frankie Julia | Skirt & tights: Tracy Lin | Shoes: Courtesy of The NY Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2e4c9dc6-aac8-453c-87da-be83e04781db/5.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Dress and hat: Lydia Li https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e935ac1-bad0-44d2-a0e0-bd467e52dace/VHS4.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5b8aa4ff-41ba-4390-a860-3648b44bd68b/VHS5.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9276f7bc-643c-4891-a228-c64527a9486a/2.jpg Features - Dwell on the Transience of Summertime With Photographer Winter Browne - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/vtss-on-protecting-yourself-online-the-anti-dolphin-community-and-working-on-new-music monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf6344fb-a831-4f88-b223-1649bd22c69a/Deutche-Telekom_VTSS-Office_0241.jpeg Features - VTSS on Protecting Yourself Online, the Anti Dolphin Community and Working on New Music If you’ve ever worried about online döppelgangers, the new video from VTSS might hit you a little close to home. The promo for “Can’t Catch Me” (co-produced by Hudson Mohawke) is directed by duo Shadrinksy, and shows the techno DJ and producer going about her work day in an office, though she slowly finds herself joined by figures who look exactly the same as her, also acting out her life. It’s all part of a new campaign from VTSS and Deutsche Telekom which seeks to increase awareness of online identity fraud, and especially wants to encourage young people to be aware of protecting themselves online.

But for Aziya, who, despite the demands of the industry, has already done so much within her short career, it’s been light work. Over the past four years, the singer has already released 2 EPs – Speak of Tides (2021), Lonely Castles (2023) – as well as a mixtape, BAMBI, last year. Growing up in a family where music was practically a second language, she soaked it all in, and though she takes inspiration from her favourite artists, like Debbie Harry and Prince, she carves out her own lane with a sound that's unmistakably hers, bursting with guitars and drums. The self-proclaimed ‘Rockstar Baby’ is correct. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/84462b94-6d01-4fa0-91ff-b07fcb1e1739/250528_Polyester_01_Look_202.jpg Features -

Savannah Hudson on Between Friend’s New Album, Social Media, and Barbra Streisand Savannah Hudson is an it girl. As you scroll through her Instagram, you’ll see her standing inside of a bodega, dressed head to toe in Sandy Liang; sitting in the front row of a fashion show; or perched on a stool next to a plastic great dane, ready to shoot a music video for her band, Between Friends. For parts of her life, Savannah leaned into this categorisation as an it girl, but as we speak over Zoom, she confesses that the question “tell me about yourself” has taken on more weight as her band approaches the release of its second album. “I think if you asked me that a few years ago, I'd be like ‘I’m this fun-loving girl and I make music and I like clothes,’ but now I think answering that question means so much more to me, because I want people to see so much more of me.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1753869722730-9Y9V92Q18FTZGZYPOZQ6/Sav_PolyesterZine_WideSelects-2.jpg Features -

Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” It would be easy to assume that Charley Dean Sayers – the 24-year-old artist and model who, along with her mother, is a Kylie Minogue mega fan and curator of what could possibly be the biggest collection of Minogue merchandise in the northern hemisphere – is simply following in her mum Sue’s footsteps. But really, the opposite is true. It was only after Charley found herself obsessed with Kylie as a kid that the pair began what has been an almost lifelong obsession with the “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” singer. Charley is the author of the photobook November 17th, and recently invited us to her home in London’s Palmers Green to photograph her and “approximately one third” of the Kylie Minogue merch that the pair have been accumulating for over twenty years. Poring though everything from unopened, scented Kylie Minogue drawer liners to over tour lanyards, as well as a portion of their impressive two hundred and fifty strong collection of Kylie t-shirts, we were transported into a world of passion that can only come from a place of genuine connection, love and admiration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c6c798a-6d09-4d04-a092-70e3b46f2a3c/cf15.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Dress: Masha Popova | Bag: Conner Ives | Tights: Swedish Stockings | Shoes & Jewellery: Stylist’s own | Key chains & pins: Model’s own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07b79955-5af3-4342-a1a5-0f0dcbb4c406/cf16.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eab83a72-0a51-485d-9a01-ebbf577f1287/cf13+copy.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3cc00dee-ab30-4c92-96cf-bb852e6d9cc6/cf4.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Cardigan: Laura Andraschko | Socks: Conner Ives | Underwear: Fruity Booty & Cou Cou Intimates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/767972f9-b86a-4e97-97d8-d197d82d2531/cf10.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb14c1d3-fcc7-41e9-835e-9ecba2b901bd/cf30.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Top: Clio Peppiatt | Jeans & boots: Masha Popova | Arm band: Model’s own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da4c6c2a-e623-40cc-ae01-064fbea63420/cf43.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6dea6a6-7ef4-4d02-9a42-442ea6f265df/cf50.jpg Features - Charley Dean Sayers in Conversation with Her Mum - “I’ve Been Collecting Kylie Minogue Merch My Whole Life.” - Make it stand out Top & shoes: Home of Hai | Bra: Cou Cou Intimates | Shorts: Laura Andraschko | Socks: SSENSE x Swedish Stockings | Bag: Clio Peppiatt https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-unpacking-my-pee-wee-herman-crush monthly 0.5 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/311130b9-1629-41bf-b4aa-ec38bc46413c/Pee+Wee+2.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Unpacking My Pee-Wee Herman Crush - Make it stand out All the baddies have had a crush on Pee-Wee Herman at some point in their lives and if you haven't, that’s fine but I urge you to take a second look. While recently watching HBO’s newly released Pee-Wee As Himself documentary, profiling the late comedian Paul Reubens, my childhood crush was reaffirmed as photo after photo of a young, hot, floppy-haired, 6-foot-tall Reubens flashed across my laptop screen. His semi-innocent clown-like persona is clearly not usually pegged as heart-throb material but the TikTok fan edits, agree and even ex-Playboy icon and former Polyester cover star Holly Madison has shared these same feelings. Pee-Wee was an amalgamation of bad renditions of classic comedy tropes combined with past in-jokes with Reubens’ former lover and artist Guy Brown, who he lived with in Echo Park shortly after they met at CalArts (where he had once set up a kissing booth, imagine…). He first tested out the character whilst working with LA improv group The Groundlings in the early 80s (beloved goth queen Elvira was amongst his peers). It takes someone with true charisma and quick wit to steal a scene with a single facial expression or make an audience laugh with a series of lacklustre props, nobody else could’ve pulled it off… https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/trauma-rebranded-as-content-the-post-2000s-celebrity-crashout monthly 0.5 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac0349d7-010e-41a5-a6c1-9907be559597/Celeb+collage+1.jpg Features - Trauma Rebranded as Content: The Post-2000s Celebrity Crashout In the aftermath of the early 2000s tabloid-industrial complex, the hyper-visibility of iconic women who came of age in that era has given way to a grimly public pattern of breakdowns in adulthood. This is a logical consequence of a system that fed on female celebrities' youth, aesthetic perfection, and pliability, discarding them the moment they faltered. Britney Spears’s 2007 head-shaving incident, once paraded as the epitome of pop psychosis, now reads like an act of Samson-like defiance: the self-severing of her locks to reclaim agency. Years later, the “Free Britney” movement garnered remarkable momentum, until it no longer felt radical to liberate someone shackled not only by legal systems, but by us all: the public, the press, and the algorithms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7027ca4-79e1-451a-a0ee-aada460fa1e3/Celeb+collage+2.jpg Features - Trauma Rebranded as Content: The Post-2000s Celebrity Crashout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/patti-harrison-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0c68a1f-11d1-414e-8f2e-93a0052ca57f/patti+harrison+cover.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed When entering a conversation with Patti Harrison, it’s best to do so fortified by the fact that you aren’t – and never will be – funny enough to keep pace. Just because you’ve made a parent or the man taking your money at the bodega chuckle once does not equip you for the undertaking. Take it from me. Speaking to the 34-year-old Ohio-born comedian, writer, and actor is not just a battle of wits, but one of wills to remain on the rails of reality. Here’s what to expect: There will be rambling sentences that begin in one room and wind up down the road. Every other point will be punctuated by a non-sequitur tinged with a sort of teenage bravado. At times, it’ll feel a feat of Olympic proportions not to succumb to fits and starts of giggles, follow unfurling metaphors into uncharted territory, and the urge to ask: “Are you fucking with me?” But if your nervous system is sturdy or you’ve experienced ego death, you’ll say almost anything just to stretch time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7810a6bf-c0d0-471f-aea5-085988239a16/PATTI+POLYESTER0350+copy.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Corset: Vivienne Westwood | Horns: Vivienne Westwood | Necklace: Vintage via Paume Los Angeles | Shorts: Beaufille | Stockings: Aniye Records | Shoes: Liya | Glasses: Talent’s own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36168b96-87cb-478f-860d-e76d2c109e91/PATTI+POLYESTER0133+1+V2+copy.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Full look: Thom Browne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7fd63711-619d-4138-a4e6-0caa2e5cc3d2/PATTI+POLYESTER0307.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Bodysuit: Vassia Kostara | Bra: Vintage via Paume Los Angeles | Corset: Roberto Cavalli | Underwear: Fleur du Mal | Skirt: Vintage via Paume Los Angeles | Shoes: Maison Margiela via WWSH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2c4fc82e-4320-4c11-a53f-19dc205c4894/PATTI+POLYESTER0475.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Top: Keburia | Skirt: Vintage via Paume Los Angeles | Socks: Stylist’s own | Shoes: D’accori https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55328714-8770-402c-b026-6dc9d70c0118/JZ9_6188-2+copy-grain.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/310ae7c5-f0e8-4b7d-b8e4-881505ce7332/PATTI+POLYESTER0406.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/207ee677-8afc-4f53-afc4-08aa464b0219/PATTI+POLYESTER0318-2.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb9f2b80-2130-42a4-9be4-96c3f21bb42d/PATTI+POLYESTER0322.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfb7bfc4-1787-489b-b769-4a64cd80fc64/PATTI+POLYESTER0187.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fccd2022-0cb4-4118-b5f9-d08ae31a6262/PATTI+POLYESTER0396.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c413ee81-6d8d-4559-9079-3d21387def6e/JZ9_6188-2+copy+2.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a4bd3570-4773-405f-9871-86c333f5b391/PATTI+POLYESTER0480-2.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc3dafb3-afa6-4955-9904-90b3f9c56d26/PATTI+POLYESTER0226.jpg Features - Patti Harrison on Brain Chemistry, Barn Weddings, and Eating In Bed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nyx-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/80cdf52a-1638-45a4-8643-1d4fc8c45e7a/NYX+COVER+-+POLYESTER+ZINE+FRONT+AND+BACK2.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out For our second Bed Issue cover, Polyester are proud to present the new girls in town. As temperatures soared in early July, we welcomed the NYX Cosmetics Community into our fold for an extra special week putting together work for this issue. These images feature six very stunning creators - Madhu, Richie, Awa, Barakat, Zhané and Cambell - all handpicked from the NYX Cosmetics creator programme, in which the beauty brand selects budding influencers and guides them on their journey to super stardom. Bringing these six onto set for two days filled our office with jokes, screeches and a real enthusiasm for the importance of re-contextualising beauty as not aspirational, but a space for commonality, celebration and inclusive values. In between shots, we gabbed about mutual goals, what makeup means to us and how the internet has equalised opportunity and visibility. On set, the words ‘if you NYX, you know’ never rang more true, with their community really proving the girls that get it, get it. Their chemistry shines through our NYX community cover editorial - and we couldn’t feel luckier to have spent time with each of these legends in the making. Across the editorial, Polyester Beauty editor Grace Ellington offers a couple of tips for recreating the glowing skin and pops of pink that feature on the faces of our new BFFs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3eec94c5-7b9d-41b0-bcd4-f63ee0794017/DSC_9571.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6368e03d-6560-4575-be64-3a9851c2986c/NYX-017.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4036236b-1abf-4cf8-90b3-1e0e93561680/POLYESTER+X+NYX-546.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f58d3827-7064-42eb-ac24-c18bda6c055b/DSC_0546.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4720cb1e-33b2-4ee7-8386-58fcbcbdc566/DSC_0305_+main+image.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Models wear: Olivia Von Halle, Fruity Booty, Arch4, Cou Cou Intimates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a12922a4-e3ef-4c45-9114-f3d4b89aad31/NYX-186-Edit.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2f7f6aba-898f-4ede-92e5-22d6fbbe806e/POLYESTER+X+NYX-509.jpg Features - Polyester and NYX Present… The New Girls in Town - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/meet-the-anti-recessioncore-designers monthly 0.5 2025-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41ddeb38-a14d-4730-88b5-38818f3001a1/Recession+Collage.jpg Features - Meet the Anti-RecessionCore Designers - Make it stand out When the stock market crashed in 2008, so did the blinged-out, sequinned, ruffly style of the previous ten years. What once was gold, leopard-printed, and hot pink became sterling silver, floral, and navy blue. Now, as fear of another recession creeps across the country, some designers are taking to the frontlines to ward off its effects on trends – armed with a screen printer and a dream. Upon its announcement in December of 2023, Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year, “Peach Fuzz,” spawned a sizable week’s worth of headlines due to its… plainness. Meant to inspire serenity or world peace, the colour became emblematic of toxic positivity at a systematic level. Exhausted and burnt out from the turmoil of years past? Shut off your mind and spend the new year painting your house the colour of your brain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4f68f3b-02d5-4b67-a783-c3928a747a16/Screenshot+2025-07-21+at+13.00.33.png Features - Meet the Anti-RecessionCore Designers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/gabby-windey-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd103ba4-fafe-468c-a093-d862ed81d26f/gabby+windey+polyester+zine+cover+the+bed+issue+.jpg Features - Gabby Windey on Successful Podcasting, Her Wife, and Loving Being Lazy Gabby Windey stops me, mid-doomscroll, with her perfect posture, pointedly neutral podcast set up and a monologue that stops me in my tracks. Her words penetrate, punctuated with almost-idioms that feel rehearsed but aren’t. The raspy hiss on the ‘s’ in ‘lesbian’ reverberates around my mind for days, as I wonder where this woman came from. For many cult internet stars, especially those of recent years, fame has been the result of steady growth, rather than a cash-in on one moment of virality. Comedians like Delaney Rowe and Sabrina Brier exemplify this best – they found what works and stuck at it, cultivating an audience who knew exactly what to expect from them and understood that whatever they would be served, they would enjoy. Gabby Windey’s path to popularity, however, followed a different path to success that’s been just as tried and true: the reality-star-to-massive-internet-presence-pipeline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65a13965-1036-4992-9a95-6cbe0a85971e/Gabby-20.jpg Features -

Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Jeff Bezos is Trying to be A Fashion Girly - Make it stand out You can criticise fashion for a lot of things right now, but being boring isn’t one of them. Rather than the clothes, however, it’s the industry headlines that have been stealing the spotlight. Each news announcement feels more unhinged than the last. Donatella left Versace (kind of.) Creative directors Demna Gvasalia, Alessandro Michele and Pierpaolo Piccioli simply switched places. Then, in what felt like the grand finale, Anna Wintour stepped down from her role as editor in chief of Vogue. It was a title she’d held for 37 years. The sudden end of Nuclear Wintour, announced on a random Thursday. Surely, no news could top that. Until rumours started swirling around that billionaire Jeff Bezos might be buying Condé Nast — Vogue’s parent company — for his new wife Lauren Sánchez as a wedding gift. Right… What the hell is going on? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/05fac6d3-8b10-4e2d-bfc8-24c1219836d6/Jeff+Bezos+Anna+Wintour+Collage+2.jpg Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Jeff Bezos is Trying to be A Fashion Girly - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-dressing-dykes-lesbian-drag-kings monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/15a67ce5-4b7d-4fe9-815d-8e3199edb21e/NTB+Collage+2.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys* x Dressing Dykes: The History of the Lesbian Drag King It’s a common misconception that drag is a new phenomenon, but the history of drag can be traced back hundreds of years. The role of the drag king - these days, far less talked about than drag queens, and undeservedly so - has a long lineage, stretching back to travelling troupes of performers in the 1950s and 60s, the music hall of the 1900s and the stages of the 18th century. The thing that binds these stories together is the clothes worn on the bodies of these performers. Though we can never be sure of the gender or sexual identity of historical figures, particularly when they moved through the world in as non-normative a way as those I’m about to list, there’s a strong connection between drag king history and lesbian fashion history. In these stories, clothes become not just fabric but opportunity, trousers or breeches become not just two-legged garments but a symbol of freedom. A woman - or someone understood as a woman by the society around them - couldn’t dress in men’s clothing unless she had certain protections, such as the possession of immense wealth and an uncontestable social station. Barring this, a cross-dressing woman (who we could now read as a trans man) would need to live a full-time male lifestyle and be able to “pass” as a man. There was one alternative to either of these circumstances: all the way back in the 1700s and up to relatively recently, the one scenario where cross-dressing has been accepted by the general public is for that public’s entertainment. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sex-worker-online-safety-act monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19a97853-358a-4238-97e1-800ef7f9b281/Sexquisite+Collage+2.jpg Features - A Sex Worker on the Impact of the Online Safety Act - Make it stand out (For the purpose and context of this article, I used gendered language when referring to sex workers - because of the way Meta targets femme presenting bodies - but all genders partake in sex work). It’s the end of June 2025, and the private Insta story of every sex worker I know looks a little like: “What the fuck I have uploaded this photo 10 times and it is still getting rejected?!” or “My ass is my greatest asset, how am I meant to sell that if I can’t even show it?”. These are responses to new regulations enforced by Ofcom which mean that you cannot upload any pictures online with “intent to seduce”. Initially adopted by Instagram, in what we once thought was a Meta- hates-sex-workers battle, now adhered to even by escort websites that have been specifically built to host and advertise adult content. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f44d9327-daf2-4cee-8ea7-0f6d1107d0e6/Sexquisite+collage+1.jpg Features - A Sex Worker on the Impact of the Online Safety Act - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/samantha-sutcliffe-and-luisa-opalesky-on-photography-collaboration-and-david-lynch monthly 0.5 2025-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aeb9bf6c-373a-4411-b6b1-72e5347e77e7/2025+Luisa+01.jpg Features - Samantha Sutcliffe and Luisa Opalesky on Photography, Collaboration and Autoerotica - Make it stand out Often, your friends end up being your greatest creative inspirations and collaborators, and that’s certainly the case for photographers and filmmakers Samantha Sutcliffe and Luisa Opalesky. Having worked together and been the subjects of each other’s work for almost a decade, they share an intimate creative language and a frame of reference that takes in everything from mutual favourite movies to random nights at a bar five years ago. Their relationship, based on a “spontaneous and mischievous" style of working, is a true testament to the ways in which many of the best friendships inspire us. Here, the two photographers allowed us a peep into their private world, for a special wide-ranging conversation in which they discussed everything from their longtime collaboration and historic work together, to ballet and David Lynch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd96f2e5-f702-4394-bd86-d4584f6dc146/2021+Samantha+02.jpg Features - Samantha Sutcliffe and Luisa Opalesky on Photography, Collaboration and Autoerotica - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95ce4b8f-56ad-48cf-96bc-02a3d60b9bd4/2025+Samantha+01.jpg Features - Samantha Sutcliffe and Luisa Opalesky on Photography, Collaboration and Autoerotica - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/71cfd603-b3d6-48dd-83b9-660e8a5cc041/2025+Luisa+02.jpg Features - Samantha Sutcliffe and Luisa Opalesky on Photography, Collaboration and Autoerotica - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/has-hedonism-come-back-to-pop monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b8ab07f-6f3e-4f82-9ba8-0c6ea3d2401a/Hedonsim+Collage2.jpg Features - Has Hedonism Finally Come Back to Pop Music? It’s hard to say when exactly it began, but by the summer of 2024, a collective desire to revive dancing in dingy clubs and getting fucked up had exploded en-masse. Following on the chaotic heels of the indie sleaze revival, defined as ‘an organic, free-spirited time of not caring’ by Harper's Bazaar, Charli XCX dropped Brat, a kaleidoscope of chaotic party girl mentality and 2010s club culture. And it’s been more than a flash-in-the-pan moment: this summer, Charli’s reign has continued while Addison Rae’s debut album has similarly caused a storm. Her lore is also one of messiness and hedonism, dripping with nostalgia, as she dances like Britney, invoking the spirit of Spring Breakers with her colourfully Victoria’s Secret-clad shows. Through sound and carefully curated visuals, both artists clearly invoke the hedonism, club-party spirit, and celebrity culture of the noughties. It was “an era of slightly deranged hedonism,” Joe Muggs, eminent music journalist and author, who has been following club and music culture for more than two decades, tells me. “Underground and overground were meshed together”, he continues. “There were all these kinds of new drugs coming in.” Subcultures became digitalised and more mainstream, chaos scaled up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/66270339-6c77-4807-ba75-e31eded60302/Hedonsim+Collage.jpg Features - Has Hedonism Finally Come Back to Pop Music? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cole-escola-culture-slut monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/17b6490b-abb8-4bd0-bca2-69ed8b6f8c2d/escola+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Era of Escola The name on the theatre world’s lips at the moment is the newest recipient of the Tony award for Best Actor in a Play, the enigmatic, the talented, the hilarious Cole Escola. But who exactly are they? I feel as if Cole’s rise to fame has been highly documented in America, with their appearances on talk shows and bit parts on shows like Big Mouth and Ziwe, but after this giant year, their presence is being noted by the rest of the world too. Cole’s original off-broadway play Oh Mary! (both written by and starring Escola) transferred to Broadway where it became the toast of New York, garnering nominations left, right and centre, including two Tony nods and a runner up position for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. They made a fabulous appearance at the Met Gala back in May, managing to score sartorial points at the the best dressed party of the year, and then made waves again turning up to the Tonys in a beautiful recreation of Bernadette Peters’ acceptance look from the same ceremony in 1999, becoming the first non-binary actor in history to win the in the Best Actor category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f811438d-4bf4-47c5-ac9f-aed490e67deb/escola+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Era of Escola - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-july-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/01405372-ebc9-4577-b883-534d0fb56d2d/July+Horoscope+Cover.jpg Features - Maraschino’s July 2025 Horoscopes Welcome to July, another month of deep reflection and seismic transformation.

On many a scroll recently, I have checked the comments on a post of a white girl fluttering in a garment that looks suspiciously familiar to my (British-)Pakistani eyes, and found debate unfurling like a saari. No, those trousers that are fitted until they reach the thigh then suddenly flow outwards are not ‘bloomers’, the commenters assert firmly: that is clearly a sharara. ‘Pleated pants’, they tut, is a ridiculous title to give what is clearly a shalwar. And don’t even get them started on that length of chiffon fabric snaking around the neck: not a ‘skinny scarf’ at all, but a dupatta. Well, they’re not wrong! It is a strange sensation to see someone posing in a garment (often with a distinct air of pride at the novelty of their fashion choices) that you usually see being worn by Aunties at the masjid, baddies at a shaadi, or your dad to bed. It’s not just on TikTok feeds that South Asian styles keep cropping up in unlikely places, either. In the past year we’ve seen draped trousers, reminiscent of the Indian dhoti, in Loewe’s S/S 2025 menswear collection, Gucci’s first bespoke saari debuted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and chappals on the Prada runway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c4d34b7-5e93-409f-932c-fa0fab743f76/Indian+Clothing+2.jpg Features - The Dupatta Debacle: The Erasure of South Asian Influences in Fashion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ai-and-workplace-hellscapes-the-contemporary-gothic-we-deserve monthly 0.5 2025-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46b1ef2a-13c8-4a59-b706-ed919962f32d/AI+Robots.jpg Features - AI and Workplace Hellscapes: The Contemporary Gothic We Deserve - Make it stand out For the past three years, maybe longer, I’ve had to start attending to the impossible habit of confirming, by my own uncertain authority, what is real and what is false. The mascot of the new dumpling spot up the street, an aproned red panda listed forward with a Cheshire grin, a saucer of amorphous, tan globs in his left paw. Lurid Los Angeles-style billboards and drop-down banners advertising hyaluronic acid and injury attorneys and smiling Scientologists.

How could I not? Boys at school used to push girls when they had crushes on them, very slightly and politely of course, but that and some mean words were a sign of hitting the jackpot for a 14-year-old, the goldmine: a boy liked you. Then, a bit older, when I firmly announced to my friends that I don’t have a type they all laughed, and told me that I like someone that looks like they will ruin my life. Looking back at the way we were brought up, looking at what media we were fed, I’m not surprised. We grew up with the Tyler Durdens, Michael Scofields, Jack Sparrows. Boys were supposed to wear black leather jackets, have piercing eyes, ride a motorcycle and have their brown hair fall gracefully over their eyes. They were supposed to be bad boys. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-red-flagged-roundtable-queer-esea-creatives-on-what-needs-to-change-about-pride monthly 0.5 2025-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68018bf7-e81f-4238-8ccd-9cdc1f825589/RF+1.png Features - The Red Flagged Roundtable - Queer Esea Creatives on What Needs to Change About Pride This weekend, from 5th July, Pride festivities are taking over London and the importance of the event feels more contentious than ever. The corporatisation of Pride has been an issue for many of the past few iterations but conversely, the LGBTQ+ community needs Pride more than ever in the face of the normalisation and legalisation of transphobia in the UK and countries like America pushing forward more and more queerphobic propaganda. This year in particular has seen many reflecting on whether the drop in businesses partaking in Pride should be seen as a warning for worse things yet to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a1d19140-0f6f-4780-9dd0-9ce902de8c3e/RF+2.png Features - The Red Flagged Roundtable - Queer Esea Creatives on What Needs to Change About Pride - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-does-snail-mail-feel-so-good monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1318c7ae-3484-43cd-8786-acac409f4201/SnailMail1.jpg Features - Why Does Snail Mail Feel So Good? In a patterned room in a fairytale cottage, someone is carefully wrapping stickers, a letter, and painted postcards with pale pink tissue paper before tying off the project with a satin ribbon. Though the scene may sound folkloric, its ethereality and nostalgia are firmly rooted in the current tense, with creatives across the world flocking to snail mail subscriptions the way writers migrated to Substack a few years ago – overwhelmingly fast, with an audience that craves more. By contrast, this new version of snail mail – sweetly coined "happy mail" by TikTok users – is exploding in popularity, often in the form of pen pals or group subscriptions. Happy mail, by its very definition, is varied and personal, designed to be a representation of one's creativity. Still, there are a few standards; happy mail is always sent via post – its physicality is the point – and includes a variety of handmade ephemera such as DIY craft kits, stickers, art prints, and homemade zines. The origins of happy mail are rooted in the private, relegated to communication between friends who are tired of limiting their correspondence to mediums offered by the internet. Yet its popularity has grown, now used by artists, writers, and small businesses looking to build a personal connection with their audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/863f54e3-1d61-432c-9ce8-a8561ca871d5/SnailMail2.jpg Features - Why Does Snail Mail Feel So Good? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-sneaky-gen-z-conservatism-infecting-love-island-usa-season-7 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fbb0826-962c-49f1-96c2-f34ef6aaff8c/LoveIsland1.jpg Features - The Sneaky Gen Z Conservatism Infecting Love Island USA Season Seven It seems like no matter where you turn, you can’t escape the discourse around how Gen Z is sex negative, prudish, even puritanical. That attitude has now invaded the Love Island USA villa in Fiji, by way of both the Gen Z participants on the show and the audience – and it’s not doing the show, rooted in fun and lighthearted promiscuity shared between young, hot people, any good. While Love Island has been a cornerstone of reality TV in the UK and internationally since 2015, the USA version didn’t really take off until Season 6 aired in the summer of 2024. With new host Ariana Madix bringing in viewers, UK favorite Iain Stirling narrating, and a move to Peacock that allowed for more racy content, coupled with a once-in-a-lifetime cast, a perfect storm was created. Viewership took off, making the show a runaway hit. All that said, this summer’s season 7 was highly anticipated by many, but quite early on, it became clear that things were not going to be the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cdaa6ccc-4665-4369-abb1-0897b9fac2b5/loveisland2.jpg Features - The Sneaky Gen Z Conservatism Infecting Love Island USA Season Seven - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/stripper-news-diney-interview-site monthly 0.5 2025-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c056f35-8e89-4e21-bb83-22880df0155f/AlbertHoang_StripperNews--2.jpg Features - Stripper News’ Diney on Shadowbans, Social Media and Sex Workers Telling Their Own Stories How does one spin upside down on a stripper pole, conduct a professional interview, present informative research, and twerk on a puppet all at the same time?

By giving girls and women opportunities to surf – not for competition but for pleasure and their own wellbeing – Surf Girls Jamaica is a unique place for girls and women to pursue this male-dominated sport while also connecting with the environment. In this photo series by Juanita Richards, styled by Shandi Alexander, the collective are captured doing what they do best: surfing in community and finding themselves at one with the natural landscape.

Non Threatening Boys*: An Ode to George Michael on His 63rd Birthday This past Christmas, I came across an extract from James Gavin’s 2022 biography of George Michael. It spoke of quiet acts of kindness and generosity from the late pop star: an anonymous grant to a couple seeking fertility treatment, a £5,000 tip to a bartender struggling with student debt, regular visits to homeless shelters. I had always considered myself a George Michael fan, but this small insight into who he was as a person – how he used celebrity for good – all while creating some of the best pop music of all time, seemingly opened a floodgate. I quickly found myself deep in a YouTube rabbit hole, bingeing all things George Michael – so today, the day after what would have been his 63rd birthday, I thought I’d explain exactly why I love him so much. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ice-los-angeles-and-protesting-america-is-imaginary-human-beings-are-real monthly 0.5 2025-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f4b59232-c826-41be-84f9-3ee70f9bb743/ice+protest+LA+2.png Features - ICE, Los Angeles and Protesting - America is Imaginary; Human Beings are Real The first thing I knew about El Salvador was that it was where Angela was from. She was between my age and my mom’s, leaving her in older sister/young aunt territory, aka the coolest. She didn’t blink an eye when I filled a giant salad bowl with warm sudsy water and let my Barbies have a “spa day.” She played along, voicing the roles of imaginary best friends and love interests. She had a daughter Blanca who was 18 or 19 and a grandson Augustín who was 3, like me. She was a grandmother, at age 30-something, and I was obsessed with her. Everyday she picked me up from school by foot and insisted on carrying the backpacks of both me and Lily, my childhood best friend, as she walked us home. When we arrived she made us both the world’s most delicious grilled-cheese sandwiches, golden-pressed with butter on fresh challah. My mom often lamented that we didn’t feel the same way about her sandwiches as Angela’s. She was a single working parent who took on many demanding projects to keep a roof over our heads and challah on the table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4bba4b18-137e-4c3b-8fc3-912817e83b5a/ice+protest+LA+1.png Features - ICE, Los Angeles and Protesting - America is Imaginary; Human Beings are Real - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/celebrating-the-thirtieth-anniversary-of-clueless-the-greatest-austin-adaptation monthly 0.5 2025-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c3329d3-7ac4-4ec8-ad8a-e10d6cd8f721/clueless+collage.png Features - Celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary of Clueless, the Greatest Austin Adaptation It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Amy Heckerling’s Clueless (1995) revolutionised the art of the Jane Austen adaptation. Heckerling was praised for her reimagining of Austen’s Emma, where the refined sensibilities of Regency England were swapped for the superficial glamour of 90s Beverly Hills. Emma Woodhouse became Cher Horowitz, Mr. Knightley became Josh Lucas, and the language and setting was updated to better suit a generation raised by MTV and Cosmo. Clueless no doubt paved the way for the success of films like Romeo + Juliet (1996) and 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), but what sets Heckerling’s film apart from the rest is her earnest depiction of teenage girlhood in all its beautified glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7da482c-f741-4c08-adae-445bd8360af3/clueless+collage+2.png Features - Celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary of Clueless, the Greatest Austin Adaptation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/girlbossification-vs-access-the-nuances-of-the-ai-debate monthly 0.5 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/517fdcc0-bf41-4b49-8a5d-a89a7ff140c8/ai+girlboss+1.png Features - From Girlbossing to Equal Access: The Feminist Nuances of the AI Debate When Natasha Lyonne announced she was making a film using AI (with David Lynch’s blessing no less), the internet briefly imploded. Whether or not you think it’s in poor taste to use the formidable filmmaker’s parting words for personal gain, the ethics surrounding her venture remain murky. AI is built on unpaid labour, fuels job loss, reinforces bias, uses the energy of a small country, and hands more power to the tech giants. But according to Lyonne? It's a pencil, a tool. Get on board, she says, or get left behind. Not that the boss babes of TikTok were waiting for permission. The buzz surrounding Chat GPT’s ability to help you ‘manifest your dream brand’ has been building for a while. Wherever you look online, there’s a glut of girlbosses gleefully sharing “ChatGPT prompts so good they should be illegal.” Lyonne’s right. AI is no longer just a tech bro toy. Instead, it’s been rebranded as a feminist productivity hack; something that can help schedule a month of content in ten minutes, and generate infinite ideas without burnout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9538cf0e-b38a-4bca-86e7-b5b8b0eb2bb6/ai+girlboss+2.png Features - From Girlbossing to Equal Access: The Feminist Nuances of the AI Debate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/corsets-capes-and-crinolines-how-theatre-costuming-is-inspiring-street-style monthly 0.5 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b29f5b0c-8a48-4202-9bdc-048518150e81/theatre+collage+2.png Features - Corsets, Capes and Crinolines: How Theatre Costuming Is Inspiring Street Style Somewhere between Bridgerton, balletcore and corsets as going-out tops, it’s clear that street style is becoming theatrical. Opera gloves, capes, colourful wigs and crinolines are all being worn not just onstage, but outside your apartment window. It’s not only a revival of 1800s-inspired opera, it’s a deeper cultural shift in how people are collapsing the line between extravagant costumes and everyday wear. The idea that fashion is performance isn’t new, theorists like Judith Butler have written about how we "perform" identity through clothing. But what feels new is the intentional embrace of costuming in everyday fashion: not trying to look effortlessly cool, but actively looking like you’re stepping onto a stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c235dce3-871a-40f6-9ca6-ec1d8715c574/theatre+collage+1.png Features - Corsets, Capes and Crinolines: How Theatre Costuming Is Inspiring Street Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-be-gay-do-crime monthly 0.5 2025-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f70183fc-39c7-41c9-872d-5b435b0a7c04/be+gay+do+crime+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Film Recommendations to Encourage You to Be Gay, Do Crime - Make it stand out Pride month is here again – but is it really? Trans rights are facing some of the biggest push backs we’ve ever seen, Reform UK and MAGA are vowing to do away with Pride altogether, and there’s been a highly noticeable lack of Pride endorsements from public-facing companies. Now, I’m not saying I miss the rainbow versions of corporate logos littering my instagram feed like confetti after a parade, but it is very apparent. Liverpool Pride has been cancelled completely due to funding issues, and Brighton Pride is facing major shakeups from city councilors, so how can we celebrate our queerness in a world that seems less and less welcoming as the far right gains political traction? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76d63572-7b35-4587-9b02-77236b4a3fab/be+gay+do+crime+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Film Recommendations to Encourage You to Be Gay, Do Crime - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/we-were-liars-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/987a28c7-d3fa-46cb-bd75-bceae201a225/POLYESTER+X+WE+WERE+LIARS+COVER.jpg Features - The ‘We Were Liars’ Cast on Bringing a Beloved Book to Life and Playing Unlikable Characters I used to think I had a decent idea of all the moving parts it took to create a large scale film or TV project until I walked onto the set of We Were Liars last August in Canada. It takes time to get your head around being in a huge house that isn’t ‘real’ if you have never been on a set that scale before: Lights beaming through the windows to replicate sunlight, fake food that you have to poke to check if it is real, the awe at the amount of detail in every corner reminding you of all the people it takes to bring a production to fruition. Walking out into Nova Scotia after a few hours on this uncanny set, following a flight from London, can do things to a person – but being in the thick of a production that will almost certainly bring great teen drama television back into popular culture got rid of my jet lag and spatial confusion pretty quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13ba6e50-9f06-452d-9be5-f38ffb2ff2ca/g888.jpg Features -

To portray a central character of a book that sits on the shelves of Gen Z readers across the world is a big task – but no one was better prepared for the role than actress Emily Alyn Lind. After playing young Amanda Clarke on the Hamptons thriller series Revenge at 9 years old and Audrey Hope in HBO’s Gossip Girl reboot at 18 years old, Emily is a familiar face for those with good taste in television. We Were Liars, an adaptation of the young adult thriller novel by E. Lockhart of the same name, is a fever dream of the wealthy, the flawed and the beautiful. We follow Cadence Sinclair, played by Emily, who must figure out what happened in the summer of 2015 after waking up with amnesia. Her three fellow Liars, cousins Mirren (Esther McGregor) and Johnny (Joseph Zada) and best-friend-turned-love-interest Gat (Shubham Maheshwari), don’t give her the answers either, making the show a whodunnit in the shape of a teenage girl's nightmare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1750179822213-WTS4078B15UUEF4P66HV/em22.jpg Features - Emily Lind on Flawed Female Characters, Honouring ‘We Were Liars’ and Working Alongside E.

To read the full story and enter the world of The Liars, click here. For the majority of us, there have been countless times we see an open call or a job listing and scroll on, accepting our assumed fate of being rejected, or even worse, never hearing back. Maybe it’s because we’re scared of change, can’t be bothered writing a cover letter, or simply think “I don’t have enough experience”. Shubham Maheshwari and his journey of starring in the highly anticipated adaptation of We Were Liars couldn’t be a better example of why you should never do the above, because you might just get the call back and spend the summer of your life with the Sinclairs. In his very first television role, Shubham plays Gat Patil in We Were Liars, the only member of the four Liars who isn’t part of the Sinclair family and doesn’t come from the same ridiculously wealthy background. He attends the island as his uncle, Ed, is in a relationship with Carrie Sinclair, the mother of fellow Lair Johnny. Being from Indian descent, and with both of these aspects of his identity combined, he is faced with disdain from certain members of the Sinclair family - particularly his best friend-turned-lover Cadence’s grandfather. Gat’s character is a core part of We Were Liars, not just because of the glorious drama, but because of his social consciousness contrasting against the out-of-touch Sinclair family, the show is much more than just another gross display of wealth on TV. Below I sit down with Shubham over Zoom to talk about the process of being cast as Gat, not letting fans down and working beside his fellow Liars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb749e99-ef3e-49e8-a796-3445e573904d/img20250613_15111638.jpg Features - Shubham Maheshwari on his TV Debut, Onset Lessons and Loving His Craft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d45eb59-097c-4d43-8dfe-707bf616f216/s8.JPG Features - Shubham Maheshwari on his TV Debut, Onset Lessons and Loving His Craft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/09e923c5-158c-4413-b490-dc3ccb918a8f/s7.JPG Features - Shubham Maheshwari on his TV Debut, Onset Lessons and Loving His Craft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82f5f72e-8995-408a-8a07-59a5743cec26/s11.jpeg Features - Shubham Maheshwari on his TV Debut, Onset Lessons and Loving His Craft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/joseph-zada-on-the-hunger-games-playing-tennis-and-becoming-johnny-sinclairnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/00fae9f0-e769-481b-91c0-c4a220f840f4/jo2.png Features - Joseph Zada on The Hunger Games, Playing Tennis and Becoming Johnny Sinclair&nbsp; - Make it stand out This is part of our cover feature on your new favourite TV show, We Were Liars.

The phrase ‘rising star’ is thrown around a lot, but sometimes it’s necessary, and that’s the case with We Were Liars’ Joseph Zada. The 20 year old Australian actor may have already been on your screen in the queer drama series Invisible Boys, but he is soon to be in cinemas next year in The Hunger Games prequel Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping as young Haymitch. Before that, though, he’s taking part in bringing the E. Lockhart novel to life as Johnny Sinclair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b3704ea-c282-4b85-af9c-f876499e4e41/jo11.jpg Features - Joseph Zada on The Hunger Games, Playing Tennis and Becoming Johnny Sinclair&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34bcbe35-ff22-498b-b192-cd7760dbb985/img20250606_09130109.jpg Features - Joseph Zada on The Hunger Games, Playing Tennis and Becoming Johnny Sinclair&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5e3f434-e85a-4795-a637-7ca8a4564033/jo6.png Features - Joseph Zada on The Hunger Games, Playing Tennis and Becoming Johnny Sinclair&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2e28eb6c-9631-48c8-bf38-330b61dfad27/jo9.png Features - Joseph Zada on The Hunger Games, Playing Tennis and Becoming Johnny Sinclair&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/778a4c53-6fc7-4d74-859a-0f64b41fb99b/jo1.png Features - Joseph Zada on The Hunger Games, Playing Tennis and Becoming Johnny Sinclair&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/esther-mcgregor-on-babygirl-bad-tattoos-and-joining-the-sinclair-family monthly 0.5 2025-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/345084e9-985a-43a9-80df-57a8ec4d21a8/es3.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out This is part of our cover feature on your new favourite TV show, We Were Liars.

The model, actress, tattoo artist and musician is seemingly everywhere at once: Running her tattoo studio in New York, singing in her electronic pop band French Tyme, and more recently, on the set of We Were Liars. Every TV show, especially ones filled with suspicion, needs a character who can brighten the mood - even if it’s for only a minute before the tension inevitably returns. In We Were Liars, we get Mirren Sinclair, played by Esther. Mirren might remind us of ourselves as teenagers: Tackling self doubt, exploring her sexuality, and facing problems she’s not fully equipped to handle, yet nevertheless trying to keep hold of joie de vivre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9395e5e7-fe06-4f12-a9b6-16cac44dd1bd/es2.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb8f9139-6616-4b7b-b920-e07f750d07af/es6.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7aea0d17-34d9-43a6-b0e8-ab29cca201bf/es41.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d978fafa-9040-4abc-900f-fedfd5a88c0c/es40.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22d8b9e5-6aae-413f-b1cc-ee80bf63ecd8/img20250613_15481580.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4427dcb9-2b3b-43c3-b5f2-4f094c2c64cf/es31.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/838e64d4-4128-48c3-912f-9a56f74dd0c7/img20250613_15450336.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6c10334-5603-49ae-b17c-2fcb7a82e308/es32.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7623ec45-ef3c-4562-84bf-a0923123f8c3/es47.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ded4a2e7-6bd9-4cf1-8f63-cde5dbcee80b/es25.jpeg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e5f6bc6-332d-47a3-a087-09641c424e0b/es36.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7734ee7-7267-4154-929e-9e2aef5975d5/img20250606_09051246.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc7cb5c8-8d55-4d50-bafd-07165a1f07b0/es42.jpeg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/afe7b434-2099-49d9-b7c0-23ba92b3e4f8/es34.jpg Features - Esther McGregor on ‘Babygirl’, Bad Tattoos and Joining the Sinclair Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-propaganda-i-refuse-to-fall-for-trend-just-a-laugh-or-a-right-wing-psyop monthly 0.5 2025-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94a4d913-70cf-4b8a-b694-157bf09715b6/Propaganda+2.jpg Features - The “Propaganda I Refuse To Fall For Trend”: Just a Laugh or a Right Wing Psyop? - Make it stand out The Oxford Dictionary describes propaganda as “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.” This is a definition few TikTok users consulted before applying the word to everything from situationships to Labubus. Across the platform, the word, or tag #propaganda, which now has over 200,000 posts, has been adopted by creators, mostly young women. In videos, these creators display a list of the propaganda “they refuse to fall for” as a clip from the song "I think about it all the time ft. bon iver" by Charli XCX plays. Items listed range widely. Popular ones include “skinnytok,” “minimalism,” “bras,” “9-5’s,” and every type of milk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9b0a6440-51fd-4685-aabe-7ac552e05771/Propaganda+1.jpg Features - The “Propaganda I Refuse To Fall For Trend”: Just a Laugh or a Right Wing Psyop? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-filmmaker-rowan-west-haber-on-the-tentative-transmasc-resurrection-of-its-pat monthly 0.5 2025-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3642e4d-11be-4074-9d5a-7635c5ef76dc/ntb Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Filmmaker Rowan West Haber on the Tentative Transmasc Resurrection of ‘It’s Pat’ You may or may not remember Pat. I, for one, watched the Pat skits every Saturday, growing up with my bisexual dad in his tiny cottage in West Hollywood, as the Santa Ana winds breezed through the window and made our wooden beaded curtains into a kind of urban windchime. A character created by comedian Julia Sweeney on Saturday Night Live in the early nineties, Pat wore a western shirt, and had strange mannerisms. The nexus of the bit was that they were either a boy or a girl, and everyone in their midst was dying to know which. Unbridled PANIC ensued in response to their undefined gender, and everyone laughed along in unison. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/girls-in-translation-the-role-of-women-artists-in-subverting-clich-asian-aesthetics monthly 0.5 2025-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a53463d2-da10-4901-9f7b-5533c56a2a54/LPB+Collage.jpg Features - Girls in Translation: The Role of Women Artists in Subverting Cliché ‘Asian’ Aesthetics - Make it stand out Maybe Wittgenstein meant to write ‘the limits of my language are the limits of my girl’. That’s what I think, anyway, after a week of listening to Gnarly by Katseye on repeat. The song is equal parts fuck-you-pop and semiotic experiment, beginning with member Yoonchae exclaiming, “They could describe everything with one single word!” Written in part by Alice Longyu Gao, Gnarly is yet another product of the singer-songwriter and DJ’s ‘culture theory’: her emphatic, ‘iconic-by-mistake’ process of translation. Having written the song first in Chinese and then translating it into English, Gao describes her process as ‘so direct and literal and not perfect’ that it creates its own idiosyncratic ‘refreshing literature academia vibe’. Her 2024 album Assembling Symbols Into My Own Poetry, full of multilingual wordplay, is another aptly-titled example of this process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa2e1e34-4c67-490a-87b3-8a64bd980266/Katseye+Collage.jpg Features - Girls in Translation: The Role of Women Artists in Subverting Cliché ‘Asian’ Aesthetics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-do-people-hate-one-of-luxury-fashions-only-female-creative-directors monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23702494-4647-47ad-97c2-7dd44d643a8e/FAW+Collage.jpg Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Why Do People Hate One of Luxury Fashion’s Only Female Creative Directors? Many moons ago, during one of the lockdowns, I made a YouTube video titled Why do people hate Maria Grazia Chiuri? For those not chronically part of the online fashionsphere, Maria Grazia Chiuri has been creative director of Dior womenswear since 2016. She was also one of the only female creative directors at the helm of a luxury fashion brand. Coincidentally, she was the villain of High Fashion Twitter. People really hated her. The TL didn’t go a day without calling for her to step down, or claiming that Monsieur Christian Dior was rolling in his grave upon seeing her designs. (I almost certainly made a joke along those lines.) Well, we got our wish recently when she left her position after almost a decade. People, naturally, reacted with memes. It’s a little cruel – how would you feel if ten years of your work culminated with people cheering your departure? – but I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t find some of them funny. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36315c1b-19ac-477b-81b2-3958bef65e88/FAW+Collage2.jpg Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Why Do People Hate One of Luxury Fashion’s Only Female Creative Directors? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-june-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e2832eae-41e6-4b0a-8c6c-3e05a1752e87/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+13.03.14.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes Welcome to what could very well be the luckiest month of the year. June is pretty action-packed, and generally speaking, there’s a lot to love about it. The Sun is in the Gemini sky until June 19th, so we’re chatty and bratty for a few more weeks. Venus is slipping into something a lot more comfortable – Taurus – on June 6th, softening the vibes and bringing sweetness, stability, and a renewed appreciation for natural beauty and earthly pleasures. On June 9th, Jupiter enters Cancer - its sign of exaltation – for an entire year. In the sign of Cancer, Jupiter expands our emotional intelligence, intuition, protective instincts, and the desire to nurture and be nurtured. Paired with Venus in Taurus, there’s something pretty sensual and life-affirming to experience here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/10b8e9eb-08ac-42f0-b3dd-d52e071a12d9/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+10.46.13.jpg Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52d64196-768c-4b9e-bd09-d56705e38292/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+10.50.19.jpg Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e5aef9f-d76f-4dac-988c-632e005c79d4/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+10.50.31.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d452aa13-b3fa-42d0-9a2f-45a91e95de6c/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+10.50.39.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2fd52f6c-305c-4a0c-8c21-45b8420d3faa/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+10.50.50.jpg Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db96be4b-5b37-4421-96a2-04a18939abed/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+11.01.24.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/00d8785c-d1a0-4d9e-897f-58f7d044c26c/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+11.18.15.jpg Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e471edb-6cc6-4c9d-94e4-2dc4efb8f183/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+11.29.03.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0f70da8c-bdb4-43ef-b20a-603817dd8fc8/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+13.00.03.jpg Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/40a45245-c74d-4c06-b477-a523238d1ca9/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+13.00.10.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/256bcd40-6489-438b-8f83-b838ac167477/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+12.37.42.jpg Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b65e3361-7772-45c4-8938-1091a57acc0c/Screenshot+2025-06-10+at+12.43.16.png Features - Maraschino’s June 2025 Horoscopes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rhi-dancey-and-andrea-diez-nins-new-joint-collection-is-wearable-art monthly 0.5 2025-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48a2ff91-5e56-4d2c-afc2-d8ac8808129f/04560034.JPG Features - Rhi Dancey and Andrea Diez Nin’s New Joint Collection is Wearable Art - Make it stand out Rhi Dancey x Andrea Diez Nin present a 5-piece wearable art collection fusing sculpture, surrealism, and fashion fantasy — shot on the beaches of Barcelona and brought to life by local art director and photographer Lily Carmesi.

The project is titled Feeling a Lot. It was photographed between February and June 2024 and draws inspiration from Slavic fairy tales and nature in the American South. The storyline is fragmented and fever-dream-like, focusing on color, texture, and the emotions they evoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4495d763-fbb9-450c-afb4-59936d851a39/Kr_Shakht_S_01.jpg Features -

Is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives the Antidote to Purity Culture? Purity culture is sadly a great equaliser among Christian women. Even those with substantial influence and social capital like the influencers in #MomTok - a cohort of Mormon content creators - struggle against religious systems designed to control women’s sexualities. This was on full display in the second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives that debuted in May. And it is a hit: in its first five days on Hulu, the second season drew 5 million views. While the first season leaned into how the #MomTok influencers challenged conservative Mormon gender roles, the second tackled a bigger issue - the policing of women’s sexuality largely at the heart of Internet and church criticism against the #MomTok crew. As someone raised in purity culture, who is coming of age alongside the #MomTok influencers who grew up in the Purity Culture Movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the series was a realistic - and realistically messy - depiction of deconstructing Christian sexual purity ethics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d92cebc-a352-428e-aaa2-f5ed2113f4a2/MormonWives2.jpg Features - Is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives the Antidote to Purity Culture? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/drop-dead-gorgeous monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a2914be8-ddef-4b6c-9989-9585c6bfa654/07_250420_DROP+DEAD+GORGEOUS19689+1+copy_MAG.jpg Features - Drop Dead Gorgeous is the Editorial Glamourising Extreme Emotions In this editorial, Wong Foo meets Miss Congeniality meets Female Trouble and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Not to mention its chaotic namesake, where murder meets matte foundation and Minnesota accents. It’s a take on off moments in drag and the behind-the-scenes buildup or breakdown of a pageant queen. Too much powder. Flaking lips. Tears of joy. Mania. Sadness. We wanted to find the beauty in the backstage, the pretty in the ugly, or the fascinating in the in-between. The wigs are high, the emotions are higher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b04a1bac-647c-4c99-8b66-a9d50afaad1f/250420_DROP+DEAD+GORGEOUS18061_AZAR+1.jpg Features -

Non Threatening Boys*: Strip For Me Virgin A young man in a mask walks past a group of protestors, ignoring the funeral wreaths on display outside the offices of one of Korea’s most esteemed entertainment companies. His name is Hong Seunghan, and those people are there to ask for his firing. For the past 48hrs, all of Korean media has been covering his return and subsequent removal from K-Pop boy group RIIZE, embroiled in a ‘scandal’ that will split an entire fandom in half. Pictures leaked from his private Instagram showed him sharing a kiss with his then girlfriend, while another photo featured him smoking a cigarette. All of this was pre-debut, back when he wasn’t being groomed to be an untouchable star, back when he really was just an ordinary teenager. And yet still, it was enough to cement his permanent removal from the group. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ariela-barer-the-last-of-us-editorial monthly 0.5 2025-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b9673e6-1a90-4e73-96a6-7469aa4f5dd3/83205_ECR_013_33+copy.jpg Features - Ariela Barer on The Last Of Us, Trojan Horses, and Learning Social Etiquette from Tumblr For Ariela Barer, it’s always the end of the world. Whether she’s playing a teen superhero stopping ritual sacrifices in Runaways; an activist turning to terrorist tactics in the face of environmental collapse in How to Blow Up a Pipeline; or a woman surviving zombie-infested blizzards in The Last of Us – there’s one constant, the stakes are high. But even as the world is crashing down around her, Ariela’s characters choose to fight against pessimism – not only refusing to surrender to the violence of their circumstances, but refusing to participate in the brutality too. “I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a ‘Capital P Pacifist’, but I do think it's not naive or idealist to believe in the good of people,” Ariela says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9c81336-4eeb-4419-8704-7fbbdb25f844/83205_ECR_013_10+copy.jpg Features -

Chaotic Good: Is Whimsy the Vibe Shift That Can Save Us? There appears to be some whimsy in the air. It’s in the comment section on TikTok, where women are sharing their whimsical habits for some light relief (one user says “m’lady” every time she walks past a mirror, another thanks candles before blowing them out). There’s whimsy on my Instagram feed, where a video shows a young yo-yo master performing alongside the alt-rock band Black Country New Road (“never before seen levels of whimsy”, one fan comments). There’s whimsy in all of the ballet pumps, polka dots and sailor coats I keep seeing at parties, which I heard Nymphet Alumni coin ‘whimsimod’ just this morning. There’s whimsy in the surge of hobby clubs, like the literary or chess scenes that have come out of the woodwork. I myself run an amateur lecture night in a taxidermy-filled working men’s club, which qualifies itself. There’s whimsy in everyone’s recent obsession with medieval culture. There’s even whimsy, of sorts, in less outwardly romantic trends, like the swag revival or the quirked-up white boy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a3cd3cb-46cf-4ed1-9b71-4d7a811b51e8/Whimsy2.jpg Features - Chaotic Good: Is Whimsy the Vibe Shift That Can Save Us? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/florence-rose-guide-mediums monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa44d538-8c99-406d-933b-3dbeae8d307e/DSC07460.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums If you’re a creative person, it’s probable that you have a few different mediums. Maybe you’re a writer who also likes to illustrate, or a painter with a sideline in sculpture. In Florence Rose’s case, it’s music and film that tend to take up her time, and she also juggles this work with a day job as a model agent at Milk Model Management. When you’re trying to work across different creative outlets, it can be tough knowing what to prioritise and how you can best express yourself – so we consulted Florence for her help, as an expert in doing justice to all sides of your creative self. Here, she explains how being multifaceted can strengthen your practice overall, and why a “jack of all trades” is actually the best thing you can be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22c12278-d8d0-4102-a6dc-edbf43a90f32/DSC07508.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Coat: Stylist’s Own Shorts: Topshop Shoes: Vintage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55b9fec8-e100-4ea4-a862-467f460990e0/DSC07509.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13b067ef-639d-4c34-95be-fa9e5221aade/DSC07779.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3bd8f957-c82a-4736-8045-88619f651343/DSC07587.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f4341a4-2198-4057-b370-885bf4fa22b5/DSC07638.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bca94d58-3a65-42b0-bf91-dbd8a1e4d41b/DSC07910.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d47f239-3911-4cab-ae1e-aaf47a28aae3/DSC07676.JPG Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Dress: Vintage Shoes: Vintage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41ebc395-87c3-46f3-b590-3f3abe7920ce/DSC07692.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8467c49c-c202-4204-9c3a-0a7164c329f2/DSC07917.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Jersey: Vintage Shirt: Vintage Skirt: Rapetto https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/62b100ce-fd9e-4dca-a60d-e004a1740387/DSC07929.jpg Features - Florence Rose’s Guide to Juggling Different Artistic Mediums - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/buffy-verse-the-vampire-slayer-reparenting monthly 0.5 2025-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bc2f8ba-b961-417c-a625-c2b34d3d9bea/Buffy.jpg Features - The Slayer as Self Care: Reparenting via the Buffyverse During arts and crafts hour, we beaded bracelets using the same decades-old supplies as the mental health patients before us. Vowels were hard to come by, so we strung 3’s backward. “RESILIENT,” said our wrists at the end of class, but we did not rejoice. What no one tells you about resilience is that it’s bitter, exhausting, occasionally debilitating, and once it's lauded at you in reverence, you’d much prefer ease or stability. As someone forged by substantial trauma — and a mental disorder derived from said trauma —, I’m barraged with the patronizing refrain constantly, applauded for surmounting but utterly unequipped to flourish. Following another recent deluge of adversity, I sought to reclaim the word and the resilience I’d grown so resentful of and embrace the vulnerability that makes art possible. So I ventured into the Hellmouth itself, supernatural Sunnydale, with Buffy and her gang, to sort some things out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e0b1b76-4f79-40dd-9278-c4a2a10b597a/Buffy2.jpg Features - The Slayer as Self Care: Reparenting via the Buffyverse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mary-beth-barone-leo-reich monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5b31b35-b036-42fe-8701-2ffb89c4604a/0026_11.jpeg Features - Mary Beth Barone in Conversation with Leo Reich on Overcompensating, Gay Best Friends and Trying to Become a Billionaire Though she’s already beloved for her lightning fast stand up comedy, and as one host of the popular podcast Ride, Mary Beth Barone has recently added another considerable string to her bow. Alongside the show’s creator Benito Skinner (aka @bennydrama7 aka her Ride co-presenter aka her BFF), she’s currently starring in Amazon’s Overcompensating. Barone plays Grace, the fictional sister of Skinner’s lead character Benny, a closeted former football player. Their relationship onscreen carries an authenticity that could only come from their close friendship away from the cameras – so to discuss how their rapport translated onto the screen, as well as other hard-hitting topics such as Sex and the City and the straight male comedian chin filler epidemic, Mary Beth sat down for a quick chat with London-based comedian Leo Reich on behalf of Polyester.

Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America I first heard about the hidden world of carnival strippers in a blog post entitled ‘Horrors of the Japanese Hostess Bar’ by director Anna Biller (who also wrote the phenomenal film The Love Witch), and my interest was immediately piqued. Carnival Strippers is the title of the photographic book published in 1975 by acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas. The photographs by Meiselas, who travelled with a nomadic band of strippers attached to small-town carnivals in the early 1970s, form a unique archive in the US American history of sex work. These are images which tell us about propriety in rural communities and alternative modes of working from a now long-gone era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/996a4231-831d-4fdf-8f39-35c59e2bb229/carn+strip+star+tease.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0540e57-d5ce-4498-a1c4-bf93392c300b/censor+rules+carnival+strip.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/89c3929a-ac77-4d7b-9989-3a4fd94479a3/carnival+strip+stage.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4e0223a-c0ef-4d0b-9532-a813f3d36e3f/gay+nola+bally+call+carn+strip.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e31f0f7-1ba2-4621-ada9-e91482cacbca/coffee+carn+strip.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a1f9bc5-7782-4715-a252-f269e6d65cf3/star+and+garter+carn+strip.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5ca74a3-bb68-4ae5-9d74-915955b8c3ec/carnival+strip+work.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fad0afe5-101a-429a-b137-f473506ba7b0/the+tent+carn+strip.JPG Features - Carnival Strippers: Desire in Small-Town America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-terf-island-and-anonhi monthly 0.5 2025-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bca8141-2813-4d08-aced-e1ed006bd671/anohni+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Terf Island and Anonhi The sun rises higher every day and the promise of summer approaches, but the cold harsh winds of oppression are blowing on TERF Island. The UK is once again being hit by devastating anti-trans rhetoric, funded by the grand high witch herself JK Rowling – and this time she’s nabbed a win from the UK Supreme Court. As of the 16th of April, the legal definition of “woman” is determined by biological sex, not by self identification, gender recognition certificates or any other means of legalising an affirmed gender during or after gender transition. A group of judges, none of whom permitted any trans people to speak up during their rulings, have decided that “the concept of sex is binary.” The implications this has for single sex spaces like changing rooms or gyms is enormous, not to mention vital services like domestic abuse shelters, hospital wards, or even public toilets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1b99155a-6118-4fd0-96d6-aafcd0be4844/anohni+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Terf Island and Anonhi - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lil-kim-bell-hooks-and-how-we-value-love monthly 0.5 2025-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed47bed9-e96e-47c8-88e4-f98c4d62bbc9/lil+kim+.jpg Features - Lil Kim, bell hooks and How We Value Love - Make it stand out Seven months after the release of Lil’ Kim’s stunning debut album Hard Core, bell hooks interviewed the rapper for the May 1997 Paper cover story. Rereading it almost three decades later, it still makes me well up with the intensity of all we owe her, how brave she’s been, and how callously we’ve ricocheted our own shit onto her to see what would stick. It also makes me feel, fiercely, what Kim has made me feel since the first time I heard her rap: smart and raw and funny and what the fuck are you looking at??? In the interview, hooks seems to insist on a two-pronged, but related, line of questioning: Is your work about freedom or about getting paid? Are you a male fantasy or a liberated woman? What we’ve put on Kim for the entirety of her prolific, magnetic, thirty-year career is this demand – this impossible trap of a demand – to finally settle the debate. I love Kim for her art and for her answer to this interrogation: “Both.” For me, it’s the only reply that lands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e34b49db-221f-4e08-937c-8bdd1da65599/lil+kim.jpg Features - Lil Kim, bell hooks and How We Value Love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/my-bank-holiday-james-spaderthon monthly 0.5 2025-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4a92cd1-919b-453b-b0db-6208536ef4b0/James+Spader.jpeg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: My Big Fat James Spaderthon Please forgive me for my past ignorance, but 2025 is the year I truly saw James Spader for who he really is: an incredible actor and a lovable freak. I’m often quite slow to pick up on hype and was never truly familiar with his game… until my Easter weekend fixation, which saw me insatiably binge-watching five of his movies back-to-back in less than 24 hours. Thankfully, my eyes have been opened. I’d initially kicked off proceedings with a rewatch of Secretary, an exceptionally horny film where Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character takes the title role as Spader’s admin assistant. Without spoiling what happens, the story escalates into a power dynamic exploration and inevitably, what it means to submit fully. The film has an enduring appeal with Tumblr-pilled 18-year-olds figuring out the limits of their sexuality, but has had a new influx of interest as Gyllenhaal’s costumes became widely referenced within the office siren trend and the online discourse around the pornification of these unrealistic workwear styles. Enfants Riches Dèprimes recently created a direct replica of the character’s restrained officewear look in their SS25 collection. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tate-mcrae-addison-rae-and-who-gets-to-escape-the-khia-asylum monthly 0.5 2025-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4e9925d-0614-408f-8c04-e205593c6963/Tate+and+Addison.png Features - Tate McRae, Addison Rae and Who Gets to Escape the Khia Asylum - Make it stand out A spectre is haunting the X timeline – the ghost of the pop ingénue. Between middling hot takes on nepo-babies and the constant lambasting of the earnest mediocrity of Gracie Abrams, the stan Twitter debate on who the next 10-years-in-the-making “breakout” pop girly will be continues. Lucky is the wide-eyed and Instagram Faced twentysomething, picked out of the one-hit-wonders and chart-topper-has-beens locked up in the Khia asylum, who will get a taste of sunshine, until her inevitable downfall and subsequent trip to the gallows to be Woman'd. Does the So You Think You Can Dance finalist-turned-viral-hitmaker Tate McRae have what it takes to fill Nicole Scherzinger’s 6-inch heels? Will Madison Beer’s cult following of pre-adolescent girls – who seem to be more interested in her beauty routine than her music – be enough for a successful crossover into mainstream pop, á la Disney star-turned-pin-up Sabrina Carpenter? Or does our current irony-poisoned cultural moment require an altogether different type of manufactured authenticity?

It’s popcorn coated in “delicious protein dust”, ensuring each bag delivers a mighty 7 grams of protein. Khloe’s popcorn is one of hundreds of new snacks promoting high protein content. The labelling of a food item as “high protein” has become a synonym for the elixir of health. You can find protein tiramisu in Lidl, protein matcha cookies in M&S, and high protein ice-cream in Sainsbury's (what next - high protein communion wafers?). Yes, protein is a key nutrient. Not eating enough can have harmful consequences. But the National Diet and Nutrition Survey shows most people in the UK already eat 45-55% more protein than they need. The rise of protein-pilled snacks isn’t a response to some serious national deficiency. So what’s fuelling this obsession? To untangle this, we must descend through three circles of consumerist hell. First: the backlash against the oat milk apocalypse of the 2010s - a.k.a. veganism's brief time in the sun. Second: the rise of a neoliberal wellness culture in which health is all about looking correct. And third: the techno-ascetic reimagining of food as fuel. Only fuel. Nothing but fuel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d933ee4-41d1-42ce-851c-0be8268254bf/protein+2.png Features - Why’s Everyone Obsessed with Protein? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mubi-on-curating-a-season-of-sexy-animations monthly 0.5 2025-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b55cb062-4c25-4b4e-96d7-abedf2952b30/animated+desires+site+collage+1.png Features - MUBI on Curating a Season of Sexy Animations Animated Desires is a stand out on MUBI, not only because it’s their second ever animated season, but for being unabashedly horny. Many of the fan reviews I found of Animated Desires were taken by surprise by the explicitness of some of the shorts featured – a happy surprise, it should be noted – but a shock nonetheless. This is, of course, a huge part of the fun. This precisely picked set of films explore the weird and wonderful nuances of our sexualities through bold, brash and bolshy creative choices that could only happen in animation. From the beautiful surrealism of the infamous Asparagus (1979) to the carnal carnage of Bug Diner (2024), the highs and lows of expressing desire are explored in ways that truly exemplify not just the joys of exploring our bodies and the bodies of others, but the terrific trepidation that occurs in these tender moments. Masturbation is walked in on and a source of resentment in 27 (2023) while in Pussy (2019), wanking is personified as personable and protective as well as pleasurable. The through thread of this collection – which ranges from historical fiction in Maurice’s Bar to erotic symphony in Tram – is clearly a sense of humour and soul, one that is undeniably necessary for one to have a full sexual life. I had a chance to speak to MUBI’s Senior Programming Manager Emily Wright, one of the several curators involved in the collection, about the process behind Animated Desires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9575378a-2b17-4804-a889-8266b83e50da/animated+desires+site+collage+2.png Features - MUBI on Curating a Season of Sexy Animations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/chloe-fineman-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/71693167-f531-4898-8ff8-f23a6f5c4256/chloe+fineman+polyester+cover+v1.jpg Features - Chloe Fineman on Absolutely Fabulous, Teen Movies, and Her First Leading Role Chloe Fineman didn’t grow up with a natural affinity towards high school films. “Now I watch these movies and I'm like, ‘I love these.’ But then when I was a teenager – even in middle school – I was just watching Absolutely Fabulous. I had no interest in teen movies. I just wanted to be an adult.” It seems surprising, then, that her first leading role sees her taking the helm of a teen movie. But the comedian and actor, best known for her repertory role on Saturday Night Live, isn’t playing a lovestruck outcast or popular cheerleader. She's depicting Santa Monica – a stripper in her late twenties who takes on an unconventional job from a high school student to save the club she works at and adores. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c40e9efb-36aa-4615-89f1-cd2f6cf829c2/Chloe-3.jpg Features -

Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope Welcome to May — a month with a lot more charm and chill than its uncouth predecessors, March and April. The Sun will be lounging in Taurus until the 20th, making the vibes a little sexier, slower, and more stable. The Venus-Neptune conjunction in Aries on May 2nd brings a healthy dose of passion, idealism, and reckless optimism right out the gate. Pluto Retrogrades in Aquarius for the next 5 months or so, shifting focus inward to re-examine our relationship with power, technology, and social structures as old patterns resurface for reflection and realignment. Mercury entering Taurus on May 10th will have us thinking more practically, with a focus on money, pleasure, and comfort. On May 12th, we have Full Moon in Scorpio that could bring some drama, emotional intensity, and a potentially cathartic release. The Sun-Uranus conjunction on May 17th will bring surprises and breakthroughs, but with Mercury square Mars that same day, communication could be a little petty or combative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5059d3a9-eb00-4577-b37f-6f53d93e6d8d/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+12.58.40.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/38e2c051-55e7-400a-8684-ed6558a789ec/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+12.59.29.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/294dd4f9-cc6b-40c9-a516-cc72e8c98b08/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.02.00.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd4d307c-3e0c-4c00-bfeb-43213a29eb4e/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.03.26.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d2066d8-7842-49d4-a4d0-c663eb797c84/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.04.47.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/742725b1-58e6-4039-ad9a-cb7188959c82/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.05.56.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36d64764-5d5e-40cd-8b77-717a492f0bfd/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.07.26.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/71f3cde5-31b1-47f4-b88b-504b31ae9d46/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.09.33.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3582d4ee-6fdd-4c3f-a90c-756eac1ecd8d/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.11.33.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6d6ef5e0-ea9f-4eff-851b-c9d565d6d637/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.13.58.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de83d3e1-d100-4af5-983e-ab6e64336741/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.15.49.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f4a4b866-3f97-47b3-8247-cbbcae9ce426/Screenshot+2025-05-12+at+13.16.50.png Features - Maraschino’s May 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-smoke-and-annies-relationship-in-sinners-is-a-middle-finger-to-toxic-masculinity monthly 0.5 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/218ca6f7-5fc3-412c-a1b3-28807f9c98bf/NTB+Sinners+3.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: How 'Sinners' Subverts Romantic Expectations Onscreen Within the first week of Sinners’ release, Smoke and Annie’s relationship began to permeate the internet.

On-camera, she’s known for taking on intense, combative, physically demanding roles, but her off-screen persona couldn’t be any more different. “I really enjoy people. I enjoy kindness. I enjoy community. And I guess I can be a little passive aggressive,” she laughs. While she can’t pinpoint where this kindness comes from, the people in her life think they’ve figured it out. “All my friends are like ‘Oh God, you’re so Canadian’. I didn’t know what they meant by that. But the older I get, the more I realise that there’s no other way my personality could have been made.” As she wades through a laundry list of potential Canadian stereotypes over a Zoom call, she lands on a fixed theory, “I think what they attribute to it is maybe a wholesomeness. Even though, Canadian’s are obviously not a monolith.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06d2ee4d-b37c-4563-a6b4-c446fd9c5f43/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Gown: Kristina K | Cuff: Georgina Jewelry | Ring: J.Sheffner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68604dc1-a031-480f-86c1-7f02481f8e37/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b2680d99-30bc-4d8e-8b65-1e714bbd7d01/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a288d60a-6e3d-499d-9632-b893dfea4148/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Earring: Vintage | Top: Proenza | Skirt: Christopher Kane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/51379784-7609-4092-a5c1-5264311a202f/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Headpiece: PR SOLO Private Archive | Gown: Kristina K | Clutch: Phillip Plein | Gloves: Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0cd18cc9-1664-4ccb-88d7-478dae5e837b/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/09fe5aac-7cea-4cca-ad65-1052471703c0/Nesta+Cooper Features - Nesta Cooper on Ageing Out of Teen Roles, Unlocking Her Rage and Being Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-the-prioritisation-and-prerequisites-of-a-list-actors-are-a-recession-indicator monthly 0.5 2025-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b90a827e-97a9-4400-9ae4-4ff4e1719bd4/a+list+collage+1.png Features - How the Prioritisation and Prerequisites of A List Actors are a Recession Indicator Back in the olden days of Hollywood, A List actors were the speckle of gold that sparkled throughout its cutthroat industry. Fans followed limousines down the busy streets of downtown Los Angeles, or fainted at sight of them on a red carpet in New York. Hollywood was built on audiences waiting in line at the Regal Cinema to check out a film they knew nothing about because it was Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986). Or, it starred Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves in The Devil’s Advocate (1995). Now, these actors may be a sign of decline. A List actors have always been the most efficient marketing opportunity to ensure any project breaks the internet or the box office; everyone knows that. Avengers: Endgame (2019) by itself sits at number two of the ‘Top Lifetime Grosses’ with an accumulated $2,799,439,100 to its name, according to Box Office Mojo, probably just for that one scene where characters blip back onto the battle ground to fight Thanos. It was a stand out of action-movie glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52d3b626-240b-4aae-85d6-200b42b2a1d1/a+list+collage+2.png Features - How the Prioritisation and Prerequisites of A List Actors are a Recession Indicator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lets-have-a-conclave-how-the-race-for-the-appointment-of-the-next-pope-turned-into-a-queer-meme-fest monthly 0.5 2025-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b837d50d-34dc-4c09-8788-e617f8a1e14e/conclave+collage+1.png Features - Let’s Have A Conclave! How the Race for the Appointment of the Next Pope Turned Into a Queer Meme Fest On Sunday, 27th April, people gathered in Malcolm X park in Washington, DC for the DC Papal Conclave. Holding a megaphone, the announcer explained to the lay audience that “If you are simply here because it is your God given right to vote as a cardinal, you need a name tag.” In their midst gathered people dressed in red, some as Waldo from Where’s Waldo, some as Mario from Nintendo, and one cat even wearing flowing red fabric. The vote for the new pope was underway and eventually - spoiler alert - the cat won. It was a joyous moment where Washingtonians came together to poke fun at and participate in a two millennia-old ritual that has increasingly come into public attention with the release of Conclave (2024),a political thriller offering a view into the next pope’s election. Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes,brought centre stage the bureaucratic chaos of this event - how papal candidates left and right lose favour after sexual abuse, financial philandering, and political scandals are revealed inside the sacrosanct walls of the Sistine Chapel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff12e4ab-7c02-4581-ab04-91d354005e03/conclave+collage+2.png Features - Let’s Have A Conclave!

The answer revealed a striking truth: many of these filmmakers have made only one traditional feature, and several works have never been screened in the UK. In an age where conscious cultural consumption is increasingly important, Black Debutantes: A Collection of Early Works by Black Women Directors invites audiences to consider who gets to make films – and how they get to be seen. The season features familiar early works by acclaimed directors, like Amma Asante’s A Way of Life (BAFTA winner) and Dee Rees’ Pariah, a coming-of-age story about a young lesbian navigating identity and family. But it also introduces UK audiences to undistributed titles like Test Pattern (2019) by Shatara Michelle Ford, a powerful drama about an interracial couple’s struggle to obtain a rape kit in Trump’s America, and Monica Sorelle’s Mountains, where a Haitian construction worker slowly comes to realisation that he is part of the apparatus dismantling and gentrifying his community. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-andre-leon-talley-the-black-dandy-in-the-kaftan monthly 0.5 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c3090dd5-ee7f-4890-b356-5bef99bc854d/Andre+Leon+Talley Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: André Leon Talley, the Black Dandy in the Kaftan Met Monday is upon us and we are paying our respects to the iconic André Leon Talley.

The U.S. president's vitriol against Mexico and Latin American countries is nothing new. He has a long record that ranges from the border wall to discriminatory, generalising, and insulting remarks against an already segregated community. As his second administration promises to intensify deportations, particularly of Latin Americans, vowing to make America great again, concerns and new challenges rise, along with returning feelings of fear, anger, and the lingering trauma of being Latinx under an administration that has made you a target. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b362cb9-c63c-4082-936b-76e46b941342/IMG_7993.jpg Features - ‘‘I've gotten used to having my passport with me at all times”: Dispatches from the USA’s Latinx Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-fake-podcasts-are-influencing-our-sexual-fantasies monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/20195865-1ea0-4c87-b3f1-7f2fc92ab876/PHOTO-2025-04-24-15-25-23.jpg Features - How Fake Podcasts are Influencing Sexual Fantasies The podcast industrial complex has seeped into every aspect of our lives, from our gym routines, to politics, to clips all over our TikTok FYP. In the UK, an estimated 15.5 million people consume them. Podcasts have become so popular that pretending to be on a podcast has become a common form of content production. Now, fake podcasts, or fauxcasts as you could call them, have started popping up on porn sites like PornHub and XHamster. These aren’t erotic podcasts – audio-only erotic content that is primarily popular among women – but porn videos set up to look like they’re taking place in a podcast studio. According to insight from PornHub, there are currently 1076 active videos with ‘podcast’ in the title and 1910 tagged with ‘podcast – of those, 1110 were uploaded in the past two years. The videos are set up in a similar style to a lot of bro-y podcasts; several chairs in a neon-lit studio with high-quality mics, a male host asking female guests provocative questions. The main difference between these videos and say, Whatever.com is the payoff – the interviewer gets to “fuck” the guests (or the guests fuck or masturbate while the interviewer watches and commentates). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a81486ca-9f5a-49f1-add6-78a55092dfd5/porncollage.jpg Features - How Fake Podcasts are Influencing Sexual Fantasies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-shifting-role-of-the-female-creative-muse monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e3c2730-76a7-4782-885b-4810fb372636/muse+collage.png Features - How The Muse went from Being Mysterious to Being the Main Focus - Make it stand out She is the epitome of allure and enigma, envied by some, desired by others. Mythologised by the Greeks and Romans, immortalised in paintings, poems, and songs, and idolised by those who create them. She is the muse. When most people think about muses in modern culture, they look to the women of the 1960s and 70s – a time that felt like a golden age of inspiration. It was an era that valued creative brilliance, which was often thought to be inspired by the women behind some of the most iconic artists of the time. These muses were not only seen as otherworldly figures – but vessels for genius rather than creators in their own right. From Edie Sedgwick in Warhol’s Factory, to Pattie Boyd, who inspired songs by both George Harrison and Eric Clapton in one of music’s greatest love triangles, to Jane Birkin’s long-term artistic and romantic partnership with Serge Gainsbourg – these women helped shape their culture, yet were rarely seen as its creators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f3d194f-5e8c-4578-856c-31b456a2fbbb/muse+dara+collage.png Features - How The Muse went from Being Mysterious to Being the Main Focus - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-creators-of-seeking-mavis-beacon-on-using-ai-authenticity-and-femme-documentarians monthly 0.5 2025-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9b1265d-030e-46a5-a342-0b145c4f6715/mavis+beacon+1.png Features - The Creators of Seeking Mavis Beacon on Using AI, Authenticity, and&nbsp;Femme Documentarians&nbsp; Director Jazmin Jones and super sleuth collaborator Olivia McKayla Ross are just two Black femmes asking questions.

Whilst many of the other necessities of human life have been commodified - from hunger and thirst to desire and friendship - Crary wrote, “Sleep is an uncompromising interruption of the theft of time from us by capitalism.” Sleep may be our last defence against capitalism; the final human experience which cannot be sold, the last hours of the day in which we are not compelled to spend or forced to work. A lot, though, can change in a decade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c98bcbd-df41-4695-b813-f0e5bdac3f6d/WhatsApp+Image+2025-04-22+at+16.33.11.jpeg Features - The End of Beauty Sleep: How Capitalism Is Commodifying Bedtime - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/chase-sui-wonders-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1745332961974-ODI6VVISNFXN9SKVFOC3/chase+sui+wonders+polyester+zine+cover+april+2025.jpg Features - Chase Sui Wonders on Improv with Seth Rogen, Overcoming Shyness and Balancing Hollywood's Highs In the pilot episode of The Studio, Chase Sui Wonders, as an ambitious assistant named Quinn, tells her boss, played by Seth Rogen, that she came to Hollywood 30 years too late. The comedy follows an executive team at a movie studio as they try to juggle corporate demands with creative ambitions — and create a Barbie-like blockbuster — and when Sui Wonders heard about it, she was desperate to audition. After sending in a self-tape, she joined a video call with the producers, including Rogen. “We did the scene a couple of times, and then Seth was like, ‘Okay, now let's just toss out the script. Let's just you and me riff.’ I was so terrified. But then we just hopped right into the riff zone and bounced the scene around, and he didn't stop, so I didn't stop. And then, like, 10 minutes later, he was, like, ‘amazing.’ And then he just lit a joint in the Zoom call.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7003772-cbfe-4fed-ac94-1e5937ce6a91/78774_CPO_ChaseSuiWonders_004.jpeg Features - Chase Sui Wonders on Improv with Seth Rogen, Overcoming Shyness and Balancing Hollywood's Highs - Make it stand out Earring: Vintage | Top: Proenza | Skirt: Christopher Kane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81b97338-861e-4761-afd6-7b6c5afb8e3f/78774_CPO_ChaseSuiWonders_001.jpeg Features - Chase Sui Wonders on Improv with Seth Rogen, Overcoming Shyness and Balancing Hollywood's Highs - Make it stand out Dress: Christian Dior | Bra: Vintage | Shoes: Christian Lacroix https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/705a5664-dead-4e0c-b654-f8fd909ab85f/78774_CPO_ChaseSuiWonders_003.jpeg Features - Chase Sui Wonders on Improv with Seth Rogen, Overcoming Shyness and Balancing Hollywood's Highs - Make it stand out Shoes: Giuseppe Zanotti | Skirt: Cavalli | Top: Patrizia Pepe | Bracelet: Erickson Beamon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5642cc66-0ebc-4bcd-bc78-7e28fd818ce0/78774_CPO_ChaseSuiWonders_002.jpeg Features - Chase Sui Wonders on Improv with Seth Rogen, Overcoming Shyness and Balancing Hollywood's Highs - Make it stand out Jewellery: Chanel | Dress: A'kai https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/frances-ryan-on-the-importance-of-media-for-and-by-disabled-women monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1cd5628d-3af9-49ac-8cfa-0770b0d3798f/frances+ryan+2.png Features - Frances Ryan on the Importance of Media For and By Disabled Women In 2019, before a worldwide pandemic further polarised how many of the public consider their own and other people’s health, Frances Ryan released her first book - Crippled: Austerity and the Demonization of Disabled People. The investigative text from the Guardian columnist detailed the many ways that politicians and the media have made disabled people the scapegoat for cuts to public spending, raised taxes and the reason that austerity needed to happen. Six years later, Ryan returns with her sophomore book, Who Wants Normal? The Disabled Girls’ Guide to Life. The manifesto is the perfect follow up to her previous title, weaving memoir, statistics and interviews with over fifty disabled people, primarily women, on their experiences, beliefs and future hopes for navigating the different parts of life that are especially difficult to traverse when disabled.

It’s hysteria-induced, affecting men across the world. It’s incurable, adorable, and might be exactly what we need to fight against a more dangerous phenomenon: the patriarchy. I’m talking about the giggles. An uncontained emotional response that can hit at any moment and without warning. We’re seeing it more and more online: the desire to coax out a guy’s giggle is everywhere. In TikTok trends, YouTube series like “Chicken Shop Date,” and podcasts like “The Basement Yard,” giggles are celebrated and deeply satisfying. But no giggle feels as good as the tee-hees from the surliest of dudes. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/elizabeth-lovatt-on-calling-the-lesbian-line-crying-over-archives-and-continuing-conversations monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1828a7bd-fd8a-493c-8051-e79563ff7518/lesbian+phone+line+1.jpg Features - Elizabeth Lovatt on&nbsp;Calling the Lesbian Line, Crying Over Archives, and Continuing Conversations I was born in 1996 and met my first lesbian online — somewhere between MySpace glitter packs, fan forum signatures, and chat windows I wasn’t technically old enough to be in. I came out as bisexual at eleven, because that was the only word that vaguely sounded like me. It held — for a while. But by twenty-five, something wasn’t clicking anymore. I read the CompHet doc on Tumblr and thought, “Oh. That’s what that was. Classic.” I grew up in Türkiye, somewhere between the Middle East and Europe, where you’re not sure if you’re being watched or just romanticising the surveillance. My childhood split in two: the looser, lighter early 2000s, and the slow, quiet suffocation that followed — when the air started feeling heavier, censorship crept in, and public life grew narrower for anyone who didn’t quite fit the national family photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2340ca98-436a-471b-8857-9c21633bd0b0/lesbian+phone+line+2.jpg Features - Elizabeth Lovatt on&nbsp;Calling the Lesbian Line, Crying Over Archives, and Continuing Conversations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lauren-ambrose-on-pitching-on-yellowjackets-depicting-trauma-and-working-with-an-all-female-ensemble monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e01c5ed-b3c6-4b10-9499-aa454be88d48/LaurenAmbrose-254.jpeg Features - Lauren Ambrose on Pitching on Yellowjackets, Depicting Trauma and Working with an All Female Ensemble Lauren Ambrose calls me early from her “cabin in the woods” home that she shares with her husband, writer Sam Handel and their two children.

There’s those who hold the wall, and those who bounce from it. Some puke and rally, some are in bed by midnight. One might fancy the dancefloor as the preferred venue for a heart-to-heart, while others see it as one for a tongue-to-tongue. But Rose Gray, the East London bred singer songwriter (and as British Vogue proposed, “the next big British pop star”) is a self-described observer. And if 2024 was the year of dance-pop music for navel-gazing, nose-wiping party girls thanks–in large part–to Charli XCX, it’s Gray who will offer 2025 a different kind of dissertation on club culture because of that identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744636587965-NIH3Y5PVXBUSQ6RG8JHB/P1_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_06_02_Layered.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744636599200-YNDFMP7WY7SX5PIEEHYA/P5_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_01X_28.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744636844704-95333DR1SYSL4ISZ3DT5/P4_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_15_14.30%2C36_V3+copy.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744636573727-JRZERDRD11OUZJCG71W4/P4_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_15_14.30%2C36_V3.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744637368232-RLDLINNE0F9RQ7BSESJB/P9_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_NewBoarder_retouch_V2.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744638219637-DRCAM5NAHDNE5AAVCZWC/P3_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_09_11.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744637119100-P51M7WQXDCTD9UVWVFSQ/P12_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_10_15ext_V2.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744637148545-GHSI0AHXCIA05SH8K8M7/P7_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_03_02.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744638199532-C8YCVYIEI1I5EDCN20SF/P14_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_05_28_B.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744638251347-USA781WXO8Y9K39W4TJM/P2_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_Polaroid.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1744638250118-T1QMBK6NWIAJX6HDJQUS/P6_2025_02_03_PolyesterXRose_13_12_B.jpg Features - Rose Gray on Dancefloor Stereotypes, Discovering Her Identity and Louder, Please - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-all-mamrie-hart-thinks-about-is-food-girl-same monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ed00b18-b169-4ca0-9d62-9d6c8fe9acd0/Mamrie+Hart+Collage Features - Love Bite: All Mamrie Hart Thinks About Is Food (Girl, Same) As regular readers of Love Bite will know, I absolutely love party food.

These ranged from nagging wife, to nagging girlfriend, to nagging customer, to nagging coworker. In each, the woman depicted was the butt of the joke, the point being to laugh at the neuroses, whininess and irrationality of girls. That’s why, around this time, Zachariah Porter – whose skits couldn’t come from a point of view more opposed to making fun of women – was such a breath of fresh air. His roster of characters have their own individual identities from the aunt who offloads on you to Mrs Claus, and from voice to backstory, Porter has thoroughly considered not only the comedic beats of his women, but what point they serve in the internet discourse machine. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-the-alternative-casting-multiverse-amp-cult-characters-that-were-almost-played-by-someone-else monthly 0.5 2025-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fba59a27-1ddd-4283-89d5-0c3f6e0c39b6/alternate+casting+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Alternative Casting Multiverse &amp; Cult Characters that were Almost Played By Someone Else There are certain things that I find myself thinking about every single day, things that aren’t related to anything practical, or pertinent, or even possible, just some little thoughts that pass the time. The first is the Met Gala 2019, Camp: Notes on Fashion, and how everyone got it so wrong. The second is what if the 1917 film Cleopatra starring Theda Bara wasn’t lost in the fire that claimed so many of Hollywood’s master prints of the gems of the silent era - a 20th century version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria. The third, and possibly most important, is what would have happened if Toni Colette had been cast in Rob Marshall’s Chicago in 2002. Would Toni have ascended to supreme stardom, emblematic of the new millennium like Renee Zellwiger was in the early 00s? Would she finally have won an Oscar? Would the film have been as good - or better - than the almost-masterpiece that it is today? Scholars of popular cinema all know how serendipitous casting can be for the most beloved classics. Anne Hathaway was the ninth choice to play Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada (2006). Julia Roberts was almost the last call for Pretty Woman (1990), way behind such stars as Demi Moore, Laura Dern and Michelle Pfeiffer. It's hard now to imagine such career-defining performances in the hands of another actor, and how that would have affected the entire cinematic landscape of Hollywood. Toni Colette was offered Bridget Jones (2001) before Renee, she declined because it was too similar to Muriel’s Wedding (1994) for her taste, but what if she had taken Roxie Hart? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2587ef72-351b-4225-b563-3490228ba9de/alternate+casting+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Alternative Casting Multiverse &amp; Cult Characters that were Almost Played By Someone Else - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/judith-butler-on-gender-scepticism-donald-trump-and-how-to-mobilise-people monthly 0.5 2025-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52712b50-df8f-4ec1-8981-3e510eae2788/Judith+Butler.JPG Features - Judith Butler on Gender-Scepticism, Donald Trump and How to Mobilise People There are few gender theorists and philosophers whose appearance at a café in North London would be met with knowing glances and wide eyes, or who would be approached by a group of 20-somethings at a random restaurant wanting to celebrate their birthday with them. But there are few gender theorists who have changed the world like Judith Butler. Over the course of their four-decade long career, Butler has, albeit unwittingly, become synonymous with the word gender. “I have mixed feelings about this fame,” they say, over coffee at the aforementioned café. “I don’t want to be a celebrity because that means I’m like a trend that comes and goes. While being in the public eye does give you a platform, often I feel like people just want to put me in the news or occupy a space, but are perhaps not really listening to what I have to say.” https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/for-the-love-of-curlz-mt-an-ode-on-its-30th-birthday monthly 0.5 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c119921-b2f3-46d2-b759-efd11db83718/curlz+mt+collage.png Features - For the Love of Curlz MT, An Ode On Its 30th Birthday - Make it stand out It is thirty years since the birth of a fabulous glyph – a swirl that haunts, delights, provokes and perplexes.

In typical life fashion, some of it’s cool, and some of it’s kind of a drag. You definitely won’t be bored. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29th was truly gargantuan and the effects will continue to ripple out for the next 6 months. With Neptune officially in Aries for the next 14 years, we’re invited to take bold action to realize our dreams, in stark contrast to the more passive, idealistic and occasionally delulu style of its predecessor Pisces. Some of the sunnier moments of April happen early on when Saturn in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus on April 4th, the Sun in Aries sextiles Jupiter in Gemini on April 5th, Venus and Mercury finally go direct mid-month, and Mars gets to leave it’s unhappy place (Cancer) for a more lux and elementally-harmonious abode in fiery Leo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Photo: Gina Canavan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4cfb835a-db36-4059-b6cb-9864ea902f0d/aries.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/edac4dda-f5a7-4694-bcd7-c1cc3a594caf/tarus.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a1aac96-c5e9-4003-8c66-34ec058149f2/gemini.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8b2088a-4e4a-4ea6-896e-39a13a3c5955/cancer.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81d393c0-4624-4617-a018-d9c717c48c09/leo.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22f29d5e-f066-43eb-b8af-e9ad17775b3e/virgo.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c60f653-5afb-412e-90f5-a1dcf7173f91/libra.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/440e321a-ab1d-4061-b0f6-3963ddd91701/scorpio.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd3dfabb-3a3b-4bd8-8940-fd438eb3b186/sag.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/116c19c7-3b0b-4268-a44d-b4e061a606fd/capricorn.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/87692db3-a653-4c20-a86a-cacb1744a0b4/aquarius.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3887445b-61d6-41b5-98cc-228a32d954bd/pisces.png Features - Maraschino’s April 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-role-model-internet-boyfriends-and-self-awareness monthly 0.5 2025-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa416440-7ee4-4034-85a5-2fe8a5069d63/role+model+collage1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Role Model, Internet Boyfriends, and Self-Awareness Thanks to rapper-turned-singer ROLE MODEL’s (known as Tucker) recent North American tour, he’s secured at least a temporary status as the Internet’s new boyfriend – or ex-boyfriend if you’re well-versed in the lore behind Tucker’s resurgence. Perhaps unfairly known as the man who “lost” Emma Chamberlain, Role Model has concretely established himself as the diva of the moment with performances of viral song ‘Sally, When The Wine Runs Out’ where either a fan or an A-lister to the chronically-online is brought out as the eponymous Sally. From friend-to-the-stars Jake Shane, to the nicer version of music reviewer Anthony Fantano known as HTHAZE, and brain-rot end-game influencers Hamzah and Martin: Tucker’s well-connected and with each new Sally, he adds a tiny green flag to his collection.

How could an ass crack, a body part I only knew exposed as a plumber’s habitual transgression, become the object of my infatuation? Not long after, I was once again confronted by this conflicting notion after being faced with Monica Belluci’s bare butt poking out in Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002). Life went on, and my unanswered internal question of “why is breast cleavage normalised but its rear counterpart chastised?” eventually faded out of my consciousness. That was until I stumbled upon the infamous bumster fit trouser, and all my childhood memories of barely-showing bare-cheek attire came flooding back. I thought “there must be something there” — spoiler alert, there is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ca871e58-9b4c-479f-b579-6f3924eb7ba8/bumster+2.png Features - Low Rise, High Stakes: A History of Butt Cleavage in Fashion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fat-anna-wintours-fashion-squeeze-fashions-ancient-feminine-nostalgia monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0ad6e9e-6649-42f5-883d-50617a1843e6/fat+anna+wintour+site+collage+ancient+fem.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Fashion’s Ancient, Feminine Nostalgia After the recent London Fashion Week shows, I was struck by something: women… Specifically, woman designers making other women look like Greek and Roman goddesses. There was Di Petsa, of course. The Greek designer (full name Dimitra Petsa) rose to prominence for her wet-look dresses with curve-hugging draping, which recalls classical sculptures. This season, she explored “the tension between carnality and divinity” – Ancient Greek gods and goddesses, as we know, were notoriously horny. Elsewhere, Dilara Findikoglu flirted with a Venusian theme, presenting different versions of the Botticelli redhead in a show quite literally titled “Venus From Chaos.” Grete Henriette just made her runway debut, her models glowing with highlighter and dripping in ropes of jewels and chainmail. Their walks were slow and poses drawn out, as if they demanded to be worshipped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a7e7140-b2fe-4bdb-9aa6-b132699f2d1e/fat+anna+wintor+site+collage+ancient+fem+2.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Fashion’s Ancient, Feminine Nostalgia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/japanese-breakfast-michelle-zauner-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/58bef468-ba6f-4596-ac7a-9d512375cc01/japanese+breakfast+cover.jpg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising Michelle Zauner is crafting modern mythology. Throughout our conversation for Polyester, she is engaged, inquisitive, and compelling, much like she is on the album—an artist who, like a siren, lures listeners back the moment the music fades. You might know and love her as the visionary frontwoman of the indie shoegaze band Japanese Breakfast, whose lush, evocative albums have become the soundtrack for a generation of dreamers and yearners- or from her bestselling memoir, Crying in H Mart, a poignant exploration of grief, identity, and Korean food,Her last album, Jubilee, was a blend of alternative pop and rock, earning two Grammy nominations and featuring a striking cover adorned with golden persimmons. A distinct iconography runs through her work, and her latest album, For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women), is no exception: its cover art features a lavish banquet table and Zauner herself as a morose woman with her head solemnly in the middle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a1b90d4-c2eb-48dc-a3ad-d72c29e84743/POLYESTER-JB+06.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Hat: Stylists own | Coat: Huishan zhang | Belt & socks: Intimissimi | Shoes: Simone Rocha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21943240-bf4e-4aaa-b28f-9b14c97e3a60/POLYESTER-JB+07.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b403acf4-0ebb-408f-94ea-0706af4c7637/POLYESTER-JB+10+BW.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Top, shorts, necklace: Simone Rocha | Shoes: Alexander McQueen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68cf5582-b2c2-4a58-9f27-7bae5a579966/POLYESTER-JB+12.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Full look: Thom Browne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/25190bcf-4494-4ada-a1b1-c2c84534c943/POLYESTER-JB+02.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Dress: Acne Studios | Tights: Calzedonia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef1bae39-bc51-49cd-a42a-297d4ea07038/POLYESTER-JB+03.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/695fff48-8a57-4de3-b85b-a7d96c3481a5/POLYESTER-JB+15.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/09c446c5-1fd2-4627-b08f-e0175a13c798/POLYESTER-JB+08.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36bfe2d3-3bff-4ca4-be32-930c1e4019a5/POLYESTER-JB+05.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c69569b5-c25e-4818-907d-2e460069e440/POLYESTER-JB+14.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95a41678-2bbd-47f2-91d0-3eee9303faaa/POLYESTER-JB+01.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5a9f05b7-b9cc-4d54-8c41-ddd813d095eb/POLYESTER-JB+13.jpeg Features - Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner on Sylvia Plath, Siren Songs and Self Mythologising - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/wilful-chromesthesia-sounds-and-memories-in-the-depths-of-youtube monthly 0.5 2025-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1afded73-092c-43c8-ac9b-1fbd56b66009/peach+sound+1.png Features - Wilful Chromesthesia: Sounds and Memories in the Depths of YouTube The first night I slept to "dark peach" noise, I dreamt of mushrooms so small and numerous that they created a fungus film over the garden like grass flowers. "Dark peach" evoked forests, pixie-witch hybrids and moss – and, of course, miniature mushrooms. The next night, I slept to "healing menthol noise" and dreamt of a library so dusty that I couldn't identify a single book. Sensorial hyper-specificity is on the rise. Niche perfumes dominated the post-COVID zeitgeist, and now, niche sounds are growing in popularity. Across YouTube, Spotify, and targeted mindfulness apps, sound mixers are building two kinds of auditory landscapes.

In 2010, I would get home from school and watch Fashion Police on E! Joan Rivers would tear into celebrity red carpet looks with the sort of ferocity which feels hard to imagine today. It belonged to an era, the one I grew up in, of red circles of shame drawn around the cellulite of size 8 women on magazine covers. But aside from the casual racism and general savagery, another thing strikes me. This sort of show feels redundant now because no one actually ever looks that bad anymore – or, at least, not bad in the sense that there is ever a mistake happening. Maybe a look doesn’t hit, but even then it’s been meticulously crafted by a team of professionals. The sense that a celebrity might show up for an event in a look that feels like it was inadvisably put together themselves, or with poorly executed fake tan or something like that just would never happen. At the same time, the internet loves images of 90s and early 00s stars on the red carpet. Hilary Duff at the VMAs, wearing something along the lines of a tie die maxi skirt and baker boy hat, glittery blue eyeshadow, with no contouring and loads of lipgloss. Winona Ryder in a black cashmere suit, and brick lipstick. Gwyneth Paltrow in a strapless gown paired with poofy hair and an uncurated shine on her skin, forehead freckles visible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cef1a518-9b12-4b33-86eb-ac5f532955ef/grace+column+1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: When Did Celebrities Start Looking So Flawless? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-adolescence-and-other-tv-shows-that-do-masculinity-well monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e609cb8-f88c-4536-9929-e0cae460be8d/masculinity+2_.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Adolescence and Other Tv Shows That Do Masculinity Well - Make it stand out Like everyone else with a Netflix account, I spent a few nights recently both gripped and horrified by Adolescence, the four-part Netflix drama created by the actor Stephen Graham and the playwright Jack Thorne. The show follows Jamie, a 13-year-old boy who is accused of the violent murder of a female classmate, Katie. In one episode, we see Jamie’s initial arrest, then we see inside the walls of his school – the environment which, paired terrifyingly with the internet, fostered the feelings which ultimately drove Jamie to kill Katie. In episode three, Jamie is interviewed by a child psychologist who attempts to get to the bottom of his motivations, and finally, in the last episode, we see the impact on Jamie’s mother, father (played by Graham) and sister 13 months on from the crime. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shiori-ortas-burning-magazine-is-reframing-girlhood-through-a-post-modern-lens monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49e70a0a-1043-4018-bf62-6fff3cdef38c/Porto_edit-193.jpg+%E3%81%AE%E3%82%B3%E3%83%92%E3%82%9A%E3%83%BC.jpg Features - Burning Magazine’s Rough Magic is Reframing Girlhood Through a Postmodern Lens Going beyond the typical label of the “female gaze,” Burning magazine draws inspiration from the Girly Photo movement of Japan in the 90s, reinterpreting old ideas through a modern lens. Burning magazine is a pioneering feminist art magazine launched in Tokyo in 2020 under the vision of photographer Shiori Ota. Since its inception it has featured emerging and established women-identifying artists from Japan and around the world. Rough Magic, the art book produced by Shiori to celebrate five years of Burning Magazine, pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a female photographer, challenging any preconceived limitations tied to that identity. It explores themes of the body and space—ranging from the personal to the planetary—while exploring areas such as true love, the strange intimacy between humans and technology, and the complexities of sexuality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb00459c-04d5-44f9-978f-6a9bdda682b8/visual+poetry6.png Features - Burning Magazine’s Rough Magic is Reframing Girlhood Through a Postmodern Lens - Make it stand out Exclusive preview from Love, Somewhere from Rough Magic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2494a66d-fa3a-436f-a460-099ad4084ce0/visual+poetry7.png Features - Burning Magazine’s Rough Magic is Reframing Girlhood Through a Postmodern Lens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9360701c-12e1-41c9-b5d2-a0a851cf6c80/Porto_edit03-17.jpg+%E3%81%AE%E3%82%B3%E3%83%92%E3%82%9A%E3%83%BC.jpg Features - Burning Magazine’s Rough Magic is Reframing Girlhood Through a Postmodern Lens - Make it stand out Exclusive preview from Sun Loading from Rough Magic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a28f2d4-dec4-4dc6-9921-6fc3ad71b24b/visual+poetry2.png Features - Burning Magazine’s Rough Magic is Reframing Girlhood Through a Postmodern Lens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d451a66-4cff-44e0-8f5f-911185ff4f33/visual+poetry3.png Features - Burning Magazine’s Rough Magic is Reframing Girlhood Through a Postmodern Lens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/obviously-doctor-youve-never-been-a-13-year-old-girl-the-specific-epistemology-of-teenage-girls monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46526e8c-b26c-4752-97c4-e2cca01ea5ea/epistemology+2_.png Features - “Obviously Doctor, You’ve Never Been a 13-year-old girl:” The Specific Epistemology of Teenage Girls - Make it stand out Recently, social media has seen a trend whereby young women share the philosophical thoughts they had as teenagers, commenting on how much earlier these came to them than they did to their male counterparts. You’ll usually see this content captioned with something like: “When a man tries to say something 'philosophical' but I had that thought when I was 11.” A TikTok creator, Hadleyo, reacts to a video of Orlando Bloom saying, “Whenever you’re with somebody, it may be the last time you see them, so make it great” by adding “guys thinking they are being so philosophical with a thought you had at 8.” Several others (almost 1,000 or so) in the comments section come to agreement, with one user commenting, “Me at 4 learning about death” and another user saying, “like the panic attack i had surrounding this thought at 9 years old.” This trend has highlighted the highly specific epistemology of teenage girls. In philosophical theory, ‘epistemology’ is the study of knowledge and understanding how we know things. The epistemology of teenage girls, then, includes their growing understanding – and questioning – of their place in society and their relationships with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2005c67d-18f7-4d69-9e71-c70def232420/epistemology+1_.png Features - “Obviously Doctor, You’ve Never Been a 13-year-old girl:” The Specific Epistemology of Teenage Girls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/our-infatuation-with-self-optimisation-and-how-it-could-be-dividing-us-more monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/812f7e6f-3d3b-4737-b592-5129e1953b22/self+care+and+relationship.png Features - Our Infatuation with Self Optimisation Could Be Dividing Us More - Make it stand out Many of us have fallen victim to the unavoidable presence of the wellness industry over the past few years. It feels like we’re the prey of its constant pursuit, as it chases us into lonely corners of the internet, filled with neurotic beauty routines and audacious “health experts”. In its latest guise, however, this pursuit of ‘wellness’ has surpassed the superficial and bled its way into the way we form relationships. It can, of course, be tiresome trying to look after yourself while you’re navigating a career, love-life and the pulverising existentialism of your 20s. But recently, it’s as if we’ve become so focused on the pursuit of our own self-optimisation that we’re reluctant to put sufficient effort into, well, anything apart from ourselves. As a 22-year-old woman, I've noticed this phenomenon taking shape in the lives of some of my closest friends, with many of them actually rejecting romance, sex and intimacy in order to “protect their peace.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/62a3bda3-20b3-4c57-9892-0c8811783a12/self+care+and+relationship+2_.png Features - Our Infatuation with Self Optimisation Could Be Dividing Us More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-mickey-17-to-the-substance-how-the-rise-of-doppelgangers-in-film-represents-our-need-to-compartmentalise monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c184aab4-d164-411a-ae15-adec7e16de9a/doppelganger+1_.png Features - From Mickey 17 to The Substance: How the Rise of Doppelgangers in Film Represents Our Need to Compartmentalise The doppelgänger – literally “double walker” – has long been a site of analysis in literature. Lending physical form to the splintering contradiction of self-identity and the duality of human nature has resonated with readers in the prose of Poe, Dostoevsky and Nabokov, to name just a few. That this abstraction continues to resonate in modern texts speaks only to its pertinence to the human experience. In the last year alone, the doppelgänger has formed the core of numerous acclaimed productions. Severance, The Substance, Mickey 17, and A Different Man all employ the doppelgänger to wrestle with internal contradictions. Doubles, real or imagined, have the capacity to hold a mirror up to our insecurities, our trauma, our self-loathing and our vanity. As society reckons with the encroachment of the online into the offline self—our multitudes made to integrate and synthesise with one another as never before—the doppelgänger provides the perfect symbology for our increasingly compartmentalised psyches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4ca66e7d-4c7c-4e0b-8903-711779b0e069/doppelganger+2_.png Features - From Mickey 17 to The Substance: How the Rise of Doppelgangers in Film Represents Our Need to Compartmentalise - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-adam-scott-not-mysterious-but-still-important monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0cfe32d4-8679-4d18-a942-cd83c39284c1/1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Adam Scott, Not Mysterious But Still Important - Make it stand out Before Severance, to me at least, Adam Scott was kind of just one of those actors who was “in loads of things.” You know, the type where you say, “oh he’s in loads of things”, and then you and your friends struggle to name a single film or show. In fact, my pals used to refer to him as “pointy Tom Cruise” in lieu of knowing his name. Then Severance happened, and now he’s one of my favorite man actors (mactors, if you will). He’s talented, sure, but it’s more than that – he feels safe, like Andrew Garfield, The Rock, or Pedro Pascal. Despite loving these actors from afar, I’m always wary of them, in a ‘please don’t be a disappointment like so many others’ way. Are they really Non-Threatening Boys*, or are they just imitating them? https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-women-are-drawn-to-work-culture-tv-and-how-severance-subverts-the-genre monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/10c9ed7f-8123-4e0f-8c22-e69c5e173dff/helly+2_.png Features - Why Women Are Drawn to Work Culture Television &amp; How Severance Subverts the Genre - Make it stand out For decades, television about work culture has provided a space for women to explore themes of ambition, independence, and identity. From Marlo Thomas’s Ann Marie, who twirled in excitement at the mere prospect of having a temp job in the 1960s sitcom That Girl, to Sarah Jessica Parker’s chaotic Carrie Bradshaw being mocked in the opening sequence to Sex and the City – as the glossier version of her “work self” vamped by on a bus billboard, splashing the real-life Carrie with gutter water – TV has long asked whether women really can have it all. The iconic working girls of television have been the conduits through which women have asked the pressing questions of our times: “What might it look like to work outside of the home?” And “can professional fulfillment ever take the place of romance?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1742381240871-SIUB64WXX10NJP5BCOIC/helly+1_.png Features - Why Women Are Drawn to Work Culture Television &amp; How Severance Subverts the Genre - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/artist-penny-gorings-poems-of-love-and-fear-represent-our-dystopian-and-utopian-selves monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd9bb5c2-dcb4-4f5f-b419-1bc33823453b/penny+1_.png Features - Artist Penny Goring’s Poems of Love and Fear Represent Our Dystopian and Utopian Selves The art of Penny Goring feels like it exists as a dispatch from a world not unlike our own. The images feel familiar to us and alien all at once; ‘Dam Gods’ (2015) shows the artist’s downcast face (in a way that feels strangely similar to the Sad Girl meme), over a monochromatic colour field, with the words I AM DAMAGED GODS at the top of the frame in bold, all-caps font. There’s a line break between AM and DAMAGED, turning the work into a visual poem – image and text in conversation with one another. With her forlorn gaze, Goring looks down the way a damaged, disappointed God might do on a creation that has been found wanting. In Cold Hunt Corsage, a new retrospective of Goring’s work at London’s Arcadia Missa gallery, the targets of Goring’s disappointment, anger, and surreal dreamlike musings are the banal realities of everyday life. She asks what it might mean to escape from them, and whether another world is even possible. This exhibition takes some of Goring’s work – often made through cheap, readily available means of production like Microsoft Paint – and places it into a new context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/365fd64f-7c0a-4b07-b3bd-8a77d0e7ea7b/penny+2_.png Features - Artist Penny Goring’s Poems of Love and Fear Represent Our Dystopian and Utopian Selves - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-quentin-tarantinos-action-women monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83fc3a3a-308f-4f0c-84ca-d3211d13e35e/tarantino+women+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Quentin Tarantino’s Action Women - Make it stand out As I was watching the Oscars the other night, enjoying the stars and their dresses, something happened that really made me sit up, spill my white wine, and shriek. No, it wasn’t Demi Moore losing Best Actress, OR that bizarre Bond tribute – it was the totally unexpected appearance of 80s blonde bombshell Daryl Hannah. Swaggering on to the stage to present the award for Best Film Editing, she made one of the rare political statements of this broadcast, holding up the peace sign and saying “Slava Ukraine” into the mic. I love Daryl Hannah. I first saw her as Madison in Splash, a 1984 fantasy romance with Tom Hanks where she plays a mermaid washed ashore in New York (and can I say, as a mermaid obsessed gay child at the time, I was head over heels). I loved her in Blade Runner as Pris, the new wave punk gymnastic robot woman trying to kill Indiana Jones, or whatever was happening in that film. I loved her as Annelle in Steel Magnolias, the frumpy gal-on-the-run who makes friends with Dolly Parton. But most of all, I love her in Kill Bill. There are not many kind things that I would say about Quentin Tarantino: he’s a little freak and I can understand why Fiona Apple would swear off cocaine after spending a night chatting with him. But I will concede that he has created some incredibly dynamic female characters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/03a2ae62-06c9-43f4-bbd4-76e118197846/tarantino+women+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Quentin Tarantino’s Action Women - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/i-am-no-better-than-a-man-where-has-female-desire-gone-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95e6053f-f543-430d-bd7d-979d5345e114/better+than+a+meme_.png Features - “I Am No Better Than a Man” - Where Has Female Desire Gone? - Make it stand out Meme culture functions as a photo album, chock-full of snapshots of our collective psyche. With the meme’s unique ability to humorously and succinctly capture contemporary discourse through a few words or an absurd photo, new jargon is born. The “I am no better than a man” trend is no different. While its origins are murky, the joke speaks loudly to all that goes unsaid about how we discuss gender and desire. This playful confession is often sparked by a new photo dump of Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram or a fan edit of K-pop idols. Simply put, it's another way for us to laud female desirability. A paradox anchors the humour here: despite decades worth of campaigning against objectification, maybe, just maybe, women, too, harbor a mischievous, internalised voice whispering impure thoughts about our fellow women into our minds. It’s all relatively harmless, and perhaps by specific standards even an empowering admission, this silly public acknowledgment of women’s capability to lust just as men supposedly do, the shameless desire of it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e06fb97-ee2f-47b4-899e-b3ed85ee1804/better+than+a+meme+2_.png Features - “I Am No Better Than a Man” - Where Has Female Desire Gone? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/boys-beware-of-the-pink-car-gang monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48661540-9dd1-4e7b-ae44-d81cef276967/pink+car+gang+1.png Features - The Pink Car Gang is the Grand Theft Auto Discord Group Recontextualising Girl Gaming - Make it stand out Apart from a brief stint playing Sims 3 in primary school, my knowledge of video games is minimal. As a woman, the complex, pixelated worlds of games like Grand Theft Auto have always felt a little daunting and male-dominated. So, when doing my ritualistic, pre-bedtime TikTok scroll, I was surprised to find myself in a deep online hole of GTA POV videos, where I discovered a sweet-but-psycho gamer collective fuelled by kitschy girl power: The Pink Car Gang. Serving as a new and unexpected frontier for feminist digital resistance, the Pink Car Gang is a group of GTA gamers defined by their flashy pink cars and fabulous pink outfits. Over 800 members strong, the group went TikTok viral after its founder, OXBhaddie, started posting videos of their missions online. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c01e58d1-e1a5-4f09-bf90-96a99a78ff2c/pink+car+gang+2_.png Features - The Pink Car Gang is the Grand Theft Auto Discord Group Recontextualising Girl Gaming - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-nicolas-cage-is-the-perfect-romantic-leading-man monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae0abd25-5ada-4288-a2cd-583a3af1b3b8/nicholas+cage.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Nicolas Cage is the Perfect Romantic Leading Man - Make it stand out This Valentine’s Day I was plagued by movie-induced anxiety. I wanted to find The One – the right movie for the occasion, that is – and the added pressure of wanting something romantic didn’t help. After suffering through this indecision for forty minutes, I realised there was actually one person who could ease my torment: 80s Nicolas Cage. In the contemporary cultural consciousness, revered for his theatricality, Cage tends to be defined by his transformative, intense performances in post-millennium films like National Treasure, Ghost Rider, or Longlegs. I, however, am constantly returning to his earlier works. Memes poking fun at his zany acting choices mean that younger generations forget that Cage can not only be silly, but deeply sexy – and it's the coexistence of these qualities that actually make him a perfect romantic leading man. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-picnic-at-hanging-rock-and-australian-gothic monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb68f825-6842-473f-9261-861fa35610a1/picnic+2_.png Features - Film Fatale: Picnic at Hanging Rock and Australian Gothic When a young British adult reaches their confused and existential mid-twenties, they are taken into a room with three doors.

Another leads to a newly built house in the Midlands with a decent mortgage, where they can raise some children and tend to their BMW. The final door—one that is almost falling off its hinges due to mass use—leads to Australia. I have never been to Australia. It is one of those places I can’t envision when I close my eyes, like trying to imagine the universe's beginnings or the fourth dimension. It sits there in all its hugeness, yet 95% of its land is unoccupied due to the harsh landscapes where only people willing to learn how to self-sustain, or some indigenous communities, reside.

I had spent years volunteering at my local abortion advocacy groups, I had reported on reproductive justice, and I had been a support system for my loved ones who had had an abortion. And yet, when I had mine, it was as though the entire experience was alien to me. When I stepped into the clinic (inside of a hospital), my hands shook as I saw unfamiliar instruments, plastic gloves, and a handful of other women nervously sitting around the waiting room ahead of their consultations. After I had the abortion, I told no one. I wasn’t ashamed, but I worried that people – including my pro-choice friends – might think of abortion as being too grim or 'disturbing,’ visualising something it wasn’t. But by withholding those details, I realised that I trained myself to feel as though I had something to hide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36c779ad-a7fc-45fb-88b5-15c4333ec42a/abortion+1_.png Features - A Love Letter to Abortion Vlogs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/working-milfs-paints-a-vivid-picture-of-parenthood-in-the-sex-work-industry monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88af10e2-a891-420e-b230-53b374bcd05d/Collage_by_Piggy-Lu.png Features - ProMomme is the Publication Painting an Honest Picture of Parenthood in the Sex Work Industry ProMomme: A Sex Worker’s Guide to Parenting, offers a fresh new perspective on the intersection between motherhood and sex work.

Following a brief exchange between the couple on the red carpet, Bianca dropped her dramatically oversized black fur coat to reveal a skin-tight, sheer slip dress – her naked body on display to the onslaught of flashing cameras. The moment triggered a wave of concern among internet spectators. Many were worried for Bianca’s safety, categorising the whole ordeal as a humiliation ritual at the hands of her husband. But amid the discourse, a consensus emerged: what was missing from Bianca’s look? Bush.

In films and on TV, the image of the father varies massively: from The Simpsons’ patriarch Homer, who is the epitome of everything you likely don’t want in a partner or a dad, to the irrevocable love of Fa Zhou in Mulan. I think that this second category of dad feels a little underappreciated. Not to be confused with the daddies – for example, Charlie Swan from Twilight, or in any movie where Pedro Pascal plays a dad – who win us over with their silly little moustaches, the soft dad is something different entirely. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maraschinos-march-2025-horoscope monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc47fbba-1e32-4b41-813d-f32dd66169c8/horoscope+0.png Features - Maraschino’s March 2025 Horoscope - Make it stand out March is going to be pretty bonkers and probably life-altering, in different ways for each and every one of us. The eclipses this month will be closing chapters and opening new ones. The retrograde cycles of Venus and Mercury will be asking us to review what we love and value, and how we approach communication. Although we’re fully in Pisces season until March 20th, I keep forgetting because everything already feels so Aries-coded. On March 1st, Venus stationed retrograde in Aries, where she’ll stay until March 27th, when she returns to Pisces. When Venus retrogrades, she’s asking us to reassess and test the status quo. In Aries, she’s pretty feisty, defiant, and wants what she wants - yesterday. On a personal level, this period is asking us to evaluate what (or who) we love, as well as what we truly desire — regardless of what others may think. Collectively, we’re reviewing how much we value our freedom, and what we’re willing to fight for in order to preserve it. On March 14th, the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be kicking off the Pisces/Virgo nodal eclipse cycle that will be playing out all the way into 2026. An emotional period of endings and conclusions, we’ll all experience it differently depending on where Virgo resides in our charts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3daf1c6-5342-44d7-adc2-f7a31545927f/mars.png Features -

Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out 2024 was unmistakably The Year of The Nun. Rihanna was photographed by Nadia Lee Cohen habited up on the cover of Interview, Catholicism bled into microtrends, and the word ‘Ciao’ was coyly spoken in an American accent and echoed around a rural Italian church as Sydney Sweeney uncovered horrors in Immaculate. But for me, and for those with good taste, The First Omen was the pinnacle of the trend. It wasn’t just the gorgeous visuals, 1970s homage or perfectly ominous tone that made The First Omen stick with viewers. The performance given by Nell Tiger Free as protagonist Margaret was unmatched: a lesson on how to be a Final Girl in the modern day, with a balance of terror and vigour as the Sister is faced with a conspiracy to birth the Antichrist at the Roman Catholic orphanage she works at. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5586045c-dea1-433b-b169-13489bdb8109/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.01.54.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Dress: 1980s bellville sassoon | Shoes: 1990s Prada kittens | Accessories: Dyed victorian cotton ribbon 1950s lace gloves https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bc650d8-e5af-4b49-9f7d-630b24b5328b/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.00.49.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0fdd749-4ac0-41c3-89bc-37833d9b3466/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.02.51.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Top: 1940s binder corset | Bottom: 1960s full slip worn as skirt | Accessories: Handmade bow out of 1920s silk 1930s peach chiffon shawl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a3e5a8e6-07d2-4bff-ae34-4a66c4bbb389/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.06.24.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ceab4bc2-0ea6-44e9-a07e-d33a7e6da40c/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.03.03.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/799e6d09-9d2c-49e6-9215-3c8f431f1d83/NTF_POLY_CM_11.jpg Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Top: handmade organza puff sleeve top | Bottom: 1930s lace evening gown worn as skirt | Shoes: 1990s Prada | Accessories: 1980s pearl necklace 1950s lace gloves handmade bow out of 1920s silk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4256557b-5e42-4145-9a3e-c363a5bbca4b/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.03.51.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/512173ab-5c4b-4fe7-9513-e37243046b21/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.04.38.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ecc9b98d-cdbd-4c0e-a2fd-091c0dcfd860/NTF_FINAL_CM_POLY_1.jpg Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d37a0f3-58c8-42b8-aa0d-c2bdecfe2d77/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.05.49.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1946d201-0606-4411-8969-a15bd5fc30dd/Screenshot+2025-03-05+at+12.05.22.png Features - Nell Tiger Free on Paranormal Activities, Confessional Lyricism and the Highs and Lows of Being Honest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tumblr-prose-and-the-ever-evolving-language-of-the-internet monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7cddcf4-fa9d-414a-a3e7-2c5256783e1b/tumblr+prose+1_.png Features - Tumblr Prose and the Ever Evolving Language of the Internet In December 2024, in a now-deleted post, X user @regularaugust used the phrase “Tumblr Prose” to describe – and complain about – a certain tone of writing commonly found in online amateur literature. Though the term was seemingly crafted out of nowhere, the post spawned widespread discourse on X, indicating that the concept of “Tumblr Prose” is all too familiar and frustrating to many. But what is it? One could try to define Tumblr Prose using specific viral posts, or even using certain authors (Rupi Kaur's name seems to come up every time this discourse resurges). Overall, the consistent allegations that define Tumblr Prose are those of vapidness, ostentatiousness, and obsession with imagery over substance, all reminiscent of the Tumblr era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3e970a4-0ba1-489a-86c6-5788bb24acae/tumblr+prose+2_.png Features - Tumblr Prose and the Ever Evolving Language of the Internet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-the-lemony-garlicky-miso-gochujang-brown-butter-internet monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/64bad54b-0a57-41ce-8e60-c729f596fd40/lemony+garlic+1_.png Features - Love Bite: The Lemony Garlicky Miso Gochujang Brown Butter Internet Considering that the lemony garlicky miso gochujang brown butter recipe meme has hit the internet harder than a Greggs’ sausage roll colliding with my stomach lining on a hangover, I would be remiss if I didn’t dedicate a Love Bite to it, considering how much it has entertained me over the past few weeks. For the uninitiated (i.e. those of you who don’t spend your every waking minute looking at and saving Reels of recipes that you will absolutely never make) the lemony garlicky miso brown butter gochujang meme – heretofore: LGMBBGM – is basically a satirisation of a certain strain of online food culture, whereby certain ingredients have become especially hypey among a certain type of person who shops at overpriced delis, uses the NYT Cooking app, and generally lets the internet make their lifestyle decisions. The meme is now so pervasive that the NYT Cooking team actually created a pasta recipe which includes lemon, garlic, miso, brown butter, and gochujang all together, which of course means that very soon, you will barely ever hear of it again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0888a043-eb51-4570-91f9-a323c5a9cbf1/lemony+garlic+2_.png Features - Love Bite: The Lemony Garlicky Miso Gochujang Brown Butter Internet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/callina-liang-on-starring-in-presence-acting-as-alchemy-and-cultivating-a-spiritual-connection monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bfeac9bc-330e-4467-9bc0-228e93b91206/Callina11.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection The horror of the conventional haunted house movie is based in prolonging a fear of the unknown. Previous iterations of these films edge the audience with the question of who or what is terrorising the house, as specifics are often much less scary than an audience’s imagination. In Presence (2024), however, director Steven Soderbergh gives the audience unprecedented access to a spirit who haunts a suburban American home, as the film is shot entirely from the perspective of the ghost. When a family looking for a fresh start moves into the spirit’s territory, only Chloe, the family’s youngest daughter played by Callina Liang, is able to detect the supernatural presence – a compelling spiritual connection that lies at the core of Presence’s domestic horror. For Liang, whose textured portrayal of Chloe has been called the film’s breakout role, acting was, at first, a form of escapism. “I only started learning English when I was 10. Mandarin was my first language, my mother tongue. And I started learning English when my dad literally took me from a Chinese-speaking school, and then threw me into an English speaking school.” She explains. As she acclimated to new surroundings and learned a new language, Liang found some comfort in taking her first drama classes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f5f4940e-452e-4225-9e97-e87a729fb77d/Callina9.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/20e5d4ba-4d72-4266-b8c8-15f7d7af0da7/Callina4.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/212b5acd-a275-466e-8960-09d62129dc3d/Callina7.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed6fdc25-0209-4535-bfb7-a85962c08857/Callina10.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3cd75843-230f-4999-b6d1-13f7e7e15064/Callina1.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Dress: Azeeza | Earrings: Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7154739-a579-48de-915a-fd06d8d6e76b/Callina3.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b9746a9-7e61-4461-ae7b-76ff287541c1/Screenshot+2025-03-03+at+11.20.49.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Top: Azeeza | Bottoms: Leather skirt (stylist own) | Earrings: Stylist own | Arm bracelet: Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61bc4def-3d13-4e0b-9a1e-4399e69298fa/Callina2.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/64eb985f-d7a9-4f38-b355-2b02d6b5206c/Screenshot+2025-03-03+at+11.20.59.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0222aa6-7404-420f-b817-4e944afa55a7/Callina5.png Features - Callina Liang on Starring in Presence, Acting As Alchemy, and Cultivating A Spiritual Connection - Make it stand out Top & Bottoms: The Frankie Shop | Earrings: Stylist own https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/courtney-eaton-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e8bd31f2-e4d6-4d7e-8f6b-98c72be36d99/courtney+eaton+polyester+zine+cover+v1.jpg Features - Courtney Eaton on Mad Max, Sleep Paralysis and Connecting with The Wilderness - Make it stand out When she was first cast in Yellowjackets as camp psychic and eventual cult leader Lottie Matthews, actor Courtney Eaton wasn’t even sure if she wanted to work in television at all. Warned by friends that committing to a series meant “signing your life away for five years”, Eaton was wary of accepting a role that could – if the show took off – take up so much of her twenties. During the audition process, the Australian 29-year-old was offered the opportunity to be a series regular on the show, but opted to be a recurring character instead – a part that felt less of a commitment than a leading role. But after filming on the first episode of season one wrapped, Eaton changed her mind: she was ready to give years to the Yellowjackets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14792eb5-568a-47d3-98c5-75db3d33427a/hr-ce-poly-4.JPG Features -

Non Threatening Boys*: The Ten Best Movies to Teach Your Boyfriend Empathy - Make it stand out In Fiona Apple’s magnum opus, “Paper Bag,” there’s a lyric that goes “He said ‘It’s all in your head’ / And I said ‘So’s everything’ but he didn’t get it.” 25 years later, a soundbite of that verse has been used in over 17,000 TikToks, all featuring young girls lamenting that the men in their lives who, regardless of circumstance, can’t seem to put themselves in a woman’s shoes. Whereas many women can empathise with pretty much anything, sometimes too much (you don’t wanna know how many times I’ve cried over anyone sitting alone at a restaurant), some men seem to have limitations of what they can – or are willing to – empathise with. They were probably outraged over the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis NBA trade, but can’t really get why their girlfriend loves listening to Elliott Smith even if she can’t do so without crying. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-what-does-a-best-actress-oscar-nominee-need-to-win monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1901ba4-8f52-41eb-86fd-130605e82814/oscars+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: What Does a Best Actress Oscar Nominee Need to Win? - Make it stand out It’s that time again, truly the pinnacle of the gay television schedule, the Academy Awards have announced their nominations and the rumour mills have started about who was snubbed, who will win, and who doesn’t deserve to be there. One prize in particular looms large, the ultimate accolade for queer audiences, Best Actress in a Leading Role, the queen of all queens is preparing to make her speech, she approaches, she is nigh! What with the abundance of the gays’ most beloved girlies at the Grammys this year, you could be forgiven for thinking that maybe the Oscars and the Best Actress race are a bit passe, an old stereotype that has lost it’s place in the modern age, but I disagree. To start with, Grammy awards are confusing, there’s a million and one categories and they all crossover. I know that Doechii, Beyonce, Chappell, Sabrina and Charli XCX all won different awards (and none for Taylor Swift), but I absolutely couldn’t tell you what for or how many they picked up. Even a cursory glance at the Wiki reveals more subsections than you could shake a stick at, and even more questionable winners - Why did Dave Chappelle win a Grammy? Wait, why does he have SIX! At what point does it matter who got best pop vocal over song of the year? How many album of the year awards are there? Didn’t Harry Styles beat Beyonce’s Renaissance a while ago? That seems crazy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d349d011-2269-4b85-a330-e11e892bf753/oscars+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: What Does a Best Actress Oscar Nominee Need to Win? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fat-anna-wintours-fashion-squeeze-curves-are-in-curvy-girls-are-out monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d067a73d-da79-473e-8642-c44468edd897/fat+anna+wintour+2_.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Curves Are In, Curvy Girls Are Out - Make it stand out Fashion loves a contradiction. Rihanna as a sexy nun. Balenciaga’s £900 Tesco bags. Here’s the latest one: the runway loves curves, but not on plus-size women. Size inclusivity in fashion was on a general upward trend since the mid 2010s, in tandem with the body positivity movement. For spring 2021, Versace featured its first mid- and plus-size models on the runway – three of them in fact! Things were finally changing, people wrote optimistically. Then, around 2023, people started reporting on fashion’s diversity backtrack. Where were all the plus-size models? Was it just a weak season, or the beginning of a trend? Each subsequent season, Vogue Business’ size inclusivity report yielded depressing results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60593c85-22f0-4847-956b-19c122950c8f/fat+anna+wintour+1_.png Features - Fat Anna Wintour’s Fashion Squeeze: Curves Are In, Curvy Girls Are Out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mia-rodgers-on-styling-taylor-her-casts-sisterhood-and-having-a-positive-influence monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1fd4d78-d4cf-4821-bf4d-d5a130005c2e/mia188.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out The Sex Lives of College Girls has made a habit of changing the career trajectories of its stars, taking up-and-coming actresses and bringing them into the limelight. Its newest addition: Mia Rodgers, is no different. In what is only her fourth acting credit, Mia plays Taylor, Essex College’s intimidatingly confident and sarcastically hilarious new student. To viewers, it would be easy to see Mia as an overnight success; an inevitable consequence of a show with a cult following. In reality, it is a role that has been a long time coming. To call her a breakthrough talent would undermine the seven years of hard work that have led to this moment, the relentless rejections Mia has persevered through in a career that can at times feel more like a test of resilience than of skill. This inherent strong mindedness is one of few traits she shares with Taylor, saying in our Zoom call: “In similar ways we’re both young women navigating a world that we don’t really understand.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea5b109a-df35-49f0-bbd0-59266702f68e/mia10000.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Jacket - Sofia Vieira Da Silva | 2 piece set - offkut studio | Jewellery - dinosaur designs & pilgrim jewellery| Shoes - Charles and Kieth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fac7035-e302-4867-a73f-ac3aa73a5161/mia5.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/839b6b26-e3a4-403a-b818-d0d3f33b81d6/mia1003.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Shirt - Ray chu | Bra - fruity booty | Shoes - Sofia vieira da silva| Skirt - offkut studio | Earrings - pilgrim | Rings - xhen xhen | Silver ring - pilgrim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6d77c725-a40f-4668-b3d9-4a7943b97d47/mia9000.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Skirt & top set - fruity booty | Leather top - AV Vattev | Lingerie - fruity booty | Shoes - Sofia vieira da silva | Jewellery - pilgrim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d6f6d8a-0ea9-493d-b077-b44400e143dc/mia2.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Denim set - dala denim | Shirt & tie - stylists archive | Earrings & bangles - dinosaur designs | Rings - pilgrim | Shoes - Charles and Kieth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c3355b2-4b0a-4c23-beaa-3e9b0b60d0b9/mia15.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Full set - Casablanca | Ring - Swarovski | Earrings - xhen xhen | Belt - Elliot Rhodes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f31e1649-3da4-458d-8329-b3fe479cddd9/mia1007.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Bangles & rings - disosaur designs | Earrings & rings - Pilgrim | Bodysuit - baserange | Tops - baserange | Tops - Open YY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a3be8063-384a-4459-b9de-9836b0b400c0/mia999.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/25fac2b4-73a9-437b-b134-f4f8626e2230/Screenshot+2025-02-24+at+13.33.53.png Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9eea28e0-2dac-44d5-af8c-87477793a703/mia899.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3691df9-dcc9-44da-842d-a2a58e2eac46/mia23.jpg Features - Mia Rodgers on Styling Taylor, Her Cast’s Sisterhood and Having a Positive Influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/traces-of-us-lesbian-letter-writing-and-odes-in-art monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b62272d5-af47-4496-8f1a-e262fbf7d9b0/collage+1_.png Features - Traces Of Us: Lesbian Letter Writing and Odes in Art - Make it stand out We started with books — Dostoevsky for her, Miranda July for me. She told me she’s an artist, and I told her I write. Our messages became an exchange of our work and lives: her art, my words. Before we met, she sent me a photo of the cliffs in Étretat, where she had been travelling. Later, I saw a Boudin painting of Étretat in a gallery in Madrid and sent it to her. We were mapping ourselves onto each other, connecting through what we created and what we saw. She told me once that Art requires an address, a tether to something real. Over the course of our time together, we addressed many things to one another: handwritten letters, poetry, photos and paintings. Before we ended, she took my portrait—an intimate act of preservation. The photos arrived in my mailbox with a note A visual trace of the moment we shared. I wrote back, enclosing a photo I had taken of her, a Susan Sontag quote, and a copy of Stone Butch Blues. She had asked what colour my weeks had been since we last saw each other. I told her to read the book if she wanted to know. Leslie Feinberg’s seminal novel, Stone Butch Blues, begins with a letter. We ended with one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d6418c6f-c70e-4323-94ef-74e655faf98f/collage+2_.png Features - Traces Of Us: Lesbian Letter Writing and Odes in Art - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/polyester-wears-buzz-get-behind-the-scenes-on-the-girls-who-make-the-zines-community-so-exciting monthly 0.5 2025-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1cbccb56-9a5e-48a6-b2cd-e7c83f103805/dm_3.jpg Features - Polyester Wears Dr. Martens BUZZ - Get Behind the Scenes with the Girls Who Make the Zine’s Community So Exciting If there’s one thing that has defined Polyester over the last decade, it’s our community.

That balance between internet culture and real life connection is especially crucial to our mission, because between the digital realm and our in-person events, we’re able to make room for everyone, as our Platform Editor Charlotte Amy Landrum explains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5740c8b0-5387-46cb-a656-95339cc14c52/dm_1.jpg Features - Polyester Wears Dr. Martens BUZZ - Get Behind the Scenes with the Girls Who Make the Zine’s Community So Exciting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c69cc067-9473-4d1f-909b-baf8175e381c/dm-07.jpg Features - Polyester Wears Dr. Martens BUZZ - Get Behind the Scenes with the Girls Who Make the Zine’s Community So Exciting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a63812f4-b1ce-4451-81af-6147d39f7e60/dm-06.jpg Features - Polyester Wears Dr. Martens BUZZ - Get Behind the Scenes with the Girls Who Make the Zine’s Community So Exciting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8910df82-7729-4d9f-83ed-8290c1f4c089/dm_2.jpg Features - Polyester Wears Dr. Martens BUZZ - Get Behind the Scenes with the Girls Who Make the Zine’s Community So Exciting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9f49f035-24fd-4790-afeb-04ca83748300/dm-04.jpg Features - Polyester Wears Dr. Martens BUZZ - Get Behind the Scenes with the Girls Who Make the Zine’s Community So Exciting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-martini-bianco-spritz-will-give-you-all-the-glitz-of-fashion-week-at-home monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/615626b1-5177-453e-95a9-64857f29b7ae/martini+1_.png Features - The Martini Bianco Spritz Will Give You All the Glitz of Fashion Week at Home - Make it stand out Nothing says glam like Martini – so to experience a little of the glitz of our New York Fashion Week party with Tyler McGillivary, why not treat yourself to a homemade version of the official drink of the night, the Martini Bianco Spritz?

Emerging as a Male Genius - Make it stand out Timothée Chalamet’s public persona began somewhere very different to the place we find it in now. After an Oscar nomination for Call Me By Your Name, he was catapulted to fame as the goofy guy-next-door, the kid who’s suddenly hot after summer break. Timothée was full of that unknowable thing that boy crushes are made of, equal parts relatable and unattainable. His early celebrity was a duality often placed on wunderkind-types: he’s a talent, but god help him, he’s just a boy! Now, at 29, after some critical wobbles (Wonka…), he wants to a) grow up and b) be a real artist. His performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown is an attempt at both things. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-mid-century-medieval-is-back monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af6f88e0-3bb4-4468-8650-c7c268226df8/perceval+1.png Features - Film Fatale: Mid-Century Medieval is Back Gather round ye olde fashion girls and online historians: we’re having a medieval revival. When Pinterest predicted Castlecore as a major trend of 2025, you might have rolled your eyes - but now as you make your chainmail headpiece (or buy it like a quitter) are you still in doubt? No, you’re not. You’ve got to finish that European 4-in-1 weave because you’re wearing it to the Medieval Women exhibition at the British Library before seeing a rendition of Macbeth at your local independent theatre where they’re selling homemade mead. You’re feeling an almost paranormal force driving you toward everything that evokes the Middle Ages, and so be it. The first thing I do when I enjoy a style, an era, or anything really, is to look for films that evoke that very thing so I can immerse myself in it – when it comes to ‘medieval films’ it really just depends on what you’re looking for. You could have 1980s medieval movies where everything is soft focus and dark fantasy-adjacent, as seen in Excalibur (1981), a more serious and historically accurate take in a film like Andrei Rublev (1966), or a very soothing, silly, and enjoyable 90 minutes like The Princess Bride (1987). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2362e3b0-8805-40a8-a214-f7174ecca2a5/perceval+2_.png Features - Film Fatale: Mid-Century Medieval is Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/all-angels-are-trans-girl-of-swords-and-how-queer-artists-are-reclaiming-their-theological-ancestries monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7e156a0-2f21-4724-801d-37a13a2d4aff/trans+angels.png Features - All Angels are Trans, Girl of Swords and How Queer Artists are Reclaiming Their Theological Ancestries - Make it stand out At the start of 2022, Girl of Swords (@grlofswords) released a black and white fine-line drawing of an angel. Six wings stretched outwards from a mass of 16 eyes, two more wings crossed below, surrounded by the words “All Angels are Transsexual.” Created in collaboration with Gaven (@necrob0yfriend), the print materialised on t-shirts and even as a tattoo. It is one of many genderqueer angels that have proliferated on the Internet in the last five years as part of the Angelcore movement - a countercultural aesthetic dedicated to embracing and exploring the ethereal and otherworldly through art, spirituality, and a mix of both. Within the last five years, the Angelcore movement has exploded, perhaps most commonly visualised by hazy photos of women in pastel, poufy dresses that have appeared on social media. Like other aesthetics, such as cottagecore or weirdcore, the movement takes its name from its root, a fascination with the divine during the Rococo period (1720-1789). Defined by excessive opulence, Rococo art commonly incorporated saccharine angels, or putti - naked, often winged children - as divine messengers traveling between heaven and earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c6c013b-bf76-4e1c-a7f5-faabbb3c9dd4/trans+angels+2_.png Features - All Angels are Trans, Girl of Swords and How Queer Artists are Reclaiming Their Theological Ancestries - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lola-tung-is-growing-up-and-saying-goodbye-to-summer monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6687943f-c8cb-4bda-9bc7-b93d1d4e3972/77520_AAR_037_35.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Lola Tung has the rare ability to always say the right thing. In fact, one of the first things she says on our Zoom call is a perfectly poised, efficient apology. "The construction!" she says kindly, referring to some barely discernible banging. "I'm so sorry for all that noise." Of course, Tung's good manners make perfect sense. Still just 22 years old, she has already spent two years at the helm of one of her generation's biggest pop culture phenomena. Her politeness is, perhaps, a form of self-protection. She was just 18 when she landed the leading role in The Summer I Turned Pretty – a role that instantly propelled her from regular university freshman to stratospheric teen star. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d56e384f-0b21-429b-9396-75fa60a31892/77520_AAR_024_10_1.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Tiara Earrings And Dress: Simone Rocha | Sheer Socks: Calzedonia | Pumps: Miu Miu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33943ae2-eafc-43e6-a581-c784c2bfb92b/77520_AAR_039_32.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Earrings: Simone Rocha | Top And Shorts: : Shushu/Tong | Tights: Falke | Pumps: Yves Saint Laurent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34ea3e7c-7c9c-4cf2-8839-786f00d76a3c/77520_AAR_031_08+2.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Dress: Yuhan Wang | Pearls: Vivienne Westwood | Earings: Simone Rocha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/99c70e5a-1c2c-40c6-b3a9-dc8139cc2900/77520_AAR_020_02.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Dress: Simone Rocha | Earrings: Justine Clenquet | Sheer Socks: Calzedonia| Pumps: Yves Saint Laurent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41c872b0-8d7d-4652-88ef-e77c579581b3/77520_AAR_033_04+copy_1.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec658860-a226-4812-ac89-1cec5c90993e/77520_AAR_041_13_1.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Dress: Misbhv | Earrings: Simone Rocha | Rings: Stylists Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbb2804c-88ea-4fb2-9191-36006974f6f6/77520_AAR_037_29.jpg Features - Lola Tung is Growing Up and Saying Goodbye to Summer - Make it stand out Dress: Gabe Gordon | Dress: Simone Roche | Boots: Misbhv | Sheer Socks: Calzedonia https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-montoya-por-favor-and-big-feelings monthly 0.5 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5be97a0-03ab-4296-b515-9a7cce4b3cbf/Untitled_Artwork.jpeg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: “Montoya por favor” and Big Feelings I vowed in the summer of 2021 that I was done with watching dating shows. After a particularly harrowing episode of Love Island where one of the contestants went on a drunken rampage against her partner, the sun set and the sounds of whatever inexplicable slowed-down cover of a disco hit faded out. Whatever last drags of enjoyment I had from the show turned to discomfort. So you can imagine my surprise when, over the past weekend, I’ve been drawn into the Spanish dating show Temptation Island. I am of course not the only one - one of the show's contestants, José Carlos Montoya (aka Montoya) went viral over the past weekend as he had the crash-out to end all crash-outs upon seeing footage of his girlfriend Anita cheating on him. What is Temptation Island, you may ask? This is a question I also had mere days ago, but of course as is the way of the world I've now watched several TikToks on the subject which essentially makes me an expert. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/feeling-seen-the-social-currency-of-the-comment-section monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41a2ed9f-1b29-4374-b794-aa9ee27b407d/comment+section+2.png Features - Feeling Seen: The Social Currency of the Comment Section The social media comment section is a wild west, offering swift snapshots of public reactions, controversial but shared opinions and a deeper layer of entertainment for the scroller that dares to dig deeper into a piece of content. I believe that comment sections are a form of social currency; the extra engagement serves as evidence that content is interesting enough to be acknowledged by thousands of users - for better or for worse. Tayo, 26, tells me that he believes that comment sections can be more entertaining than the content itself, with endless layers of keyboard comedy. “I see every expression/perspective as potentially interesting. Comments are each one content piece. So you're more likely to discover multiple funny moments” Comments are low-commitment summaries of opinion that leave the overstimulated scroller to hold onto as they scroll from post to post. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdf1bc7d-6183-4541-b3a4-e4ad44633a7b/comment+section.png Features - Feeling Seen: The Social Currency of the Comment Section - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/gen-zs-pretend-apoliticism-and-the-friend-whos-too-woke monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9eda29a-d380-4ac5-bdf1-f0a7311f2529/woke+collage+1.png Features - Gen Z’s Pretend Apoliticism and the Friend Who’s Too Woke In online activism, efforts to spread awareness about social issues are perhaps more widespread, but at the same time, feeling increasingly more diluted. From sharing infographics breaking down social issues - where someone else does the explaining for us - to sharing AI-generated images on our Instagram stories regarding the same issues in a more ambiguous manner - see: “All Eyes on Rafah” - it’s clear that we’re eager to position ourselves as politically aware. In the online world, we’ve been conditioned to seek the approval of others as it is reinvented into engagement, in the form of likes and comments. By sharing watered down thoughts, taken from someone else’s page, we prioritise comfort and ease over considered engagement with difficult topics. If we make our followers overwhelmed by sharing anything more than the commodified parts of ourselves and aestheticised politics, we risk losing our social currency. We risk being shadow banned or worse, unfollowed, and losing all social currency we have - the occasional story like from now-distant acquaintances, and the unparalleled ego boost that it brings us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14fe6a11-f260-4ac2-bd8e-cdfde907d162/woke+collage+2.png Features - Gen Z’s Pretend Apoliticism and the Friend Who’s Too Woke - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/pauline-chalamet-on-french-new-wave-cinema-getting-shit-done-and-finding-the-sophisticated-in-everyday-life monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e418ed25-29ff-43c8-9ab5-1ee78c97592c/20241206_Polyester_PaulineChalamet_S03_0857+copy.jpg Features - Pauline Chalamet on French New Wave Cinema, Getting Shit Done and Finding the Sophisticated in Everyday Life Fans of HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls will recognise Pauline Chalamet best as nerdy Kimberly Finkle, with her feet firmly planted in Essex College’s coffee shop, her nose buried in the reams of academic texts she wants to master, and her wandering mind finding love and lust with many an eligible bachelor in the drama series created by Mindy Kaling. In real life, however, Pauline Chalamet appears on a video call as a quintessential vision of French Girl beauty, bare-faced and clad in a black turtleneck. “I’m sorry I’m sick,” she apologises profusely while digging her nails into the skin of a clementine to peel it, casually munching on the wedges between questions for a dose of Vitamin C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4fd78fc-45c2-46b8-a66a-1c33efe9633b/20241206_Polyester_PaulineChalamet_S01_0081+copy.jpg Features -

Emilia Perez, Mexico and the Problem of Representation Without Context A French, white, male director makes a film about Manitas, a narco who transitions to redeem crimes in their past, as well as portraying the drug war that reigns over Mexico. I’m talking, of course, about Emilia Perez, the current talk of Oscar season, which has great cultural gaps and fails to be curious about its characters, making them flat, and somewhat oblivious to the real issues Mexico is facing. To dissolve the dread, the director chose to make a musical, romanticising the most painful issues of a society, which results in an insensitive and grotesque portrayal of both Mexico and trans people. To reduce this entirely to identity politics, however, would be wrong: we have seen other white, male filmmakers tell stories about marginalized members of society. For instance, Sean Baker in Tangerine (2015) offers an honest, curious and insightful perspective about trans people. Jacques Audriad's work, on the other hand, exposes a lack of genuine interest in both the subject and the culture represented, making it a film that perpetuates colonial culture in an apparently ‘postcolonial world’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc824562-c4a5-4f15-8646-28123f892f65/EP.png Features - Emilia Perez, Mexico and the Problem of Representation Without Context - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/playboy-and-man-of-the-people-the-singular-charm-of-pitbull monthly 0.5 2025-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06115edb-2bbf-40c4-8ab6-02ac6fce2b7f/Pitbull.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Playboy and Man of the People: The singular charm of Pitbull - Make it stand out Pitbull – aka Mr Worldwide aka Mr 305, born Armando Christian Pérez – maintains a singular star appeal. Despite not having had a hit song since his stellar Recession Pop run over a decade ago, he maintains an enraptured audience. Let us explore his enigmatic majesty … Pitbull is persuasive. Be it via ad-lib, gyration, or call to action, he seeks to involve. As Mr. 305, a fierce rep of his native Miami, but also as Mr Worldwide, a global citizen, he works in service of the people. His raison d’etre: being a vehicle for good times and sexiness, ministering us to seize the day and night. He is a beacon of benign sleaze, a relentless optimist, a supreme motivator, a swashbuckling entertainer, a rakish seducer. Goddammit, he is a rebel and a prophet. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/read-our-exclusive-extract-from-disappoint-me-introduced-by-the-author-nicola-dinan monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd9a4fcd-4cee-4b44-a758-08b0623085ba/nicola+1.png Features - Read Our Exclusive Extract from ‘Disappoint Me’, Introduced by the Author Nicola Dinan Have you ever felt anxious that you’ve stayed at the party for too long? Or worried that in the time you were sweating and dancing and making mistakes, people were planning their weddings and (intentionally?!) falling pregnant. Nobody wants to be left behind, and that’s especially true for Max, who as a trans woman fresh off the heels of a breakup, doesn’t feel like the “next stage” of life was made for her. That is until she meets Vincent, a British-Chinese man who lures her into heteronormativity, and though her feelings of alienation are clear, she cannot deny the comfort of its trappings. Max finds herself asking: Can I really do this? Could I really have this? Disappoint Me is as much about the past as it is about our imagined futures. We visit Vincent on his gap year in Thailand, bouncing around clubs with white tourists, screaming the lyrics to Starships by Nicki Minaj. He meets a beautiful young woman called Alex. In straddling these two timelines, the book opens up a dialogue between two relationships over a decade apart: between Max and Vincent, and Vincent and Alex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d1395e4-bd26-42d9-a04a-01d7421a80e6/nicola+2.png Features - Read Our Exclusive Extract from ‘Disappoint Me’, Introduced by the Author Nicola Dinan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/buttoned-up-to-the-top monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5e5ea2f-e4fb-4b77-829a-4f7aabfd0c02/purity1.png Features - Buttoned up to the TOP: How Gen Z are Turning to Puritanism From the corpse of Brat summer is born a balloon skirted, Damson Madder collared young lady; fresh from her morning shed routine and ready to prepare her healthy date butter dessert from scratch. Online, she shares disdain for the alt right Andrew Tate keyboard warriors spouting praise for Trump and looksmaxxing; she wonders how the promise of her generation has keeled over and died. Well, let me hold your hand when I tell you this diva, it links to you putting “getting married young” on your ‘in’ list for 2025. The pandemic did a number on young people in a number of ways, but the most heavily reported on was its effect on their supposed “prudishness”. Less interested in clubbing claimed a July 2022 survey, named sex-averse by the Kinsey Institute in 2021, and more interested in purified hobbies such as running, reading and crafts adds the BBC. It’s clear that our shift away from crusty club floors, raunch and sleaze has emerged from the depravity of the cost of living crisis. While an economical lifestyle has infiltrated our interests, politics and sexual fantasies, a romantic view of conservatism has followed in gen z cultural spaces. We’re obsessed with puritanism, or more specifically, self control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/210f7f1b-9a5a-475b-974c-e717e4ccc53c/purity2.png Features - Buttoned up to the TOP: How Gen Z are Turning to Puritanism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shon-faye-on-the-politics-of-love-competitive-dating-rituals-and-finding-yourself-lovable monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d98f17e8-1f27-4040-9919-7b4dbf17b3e3/shon+faye+2_.png Features - Shon Faye on the Politics of Love, Competitive Dating Rituals and Finding Yourself Lovable - Make it stand out Shon Faye grew up obsessed that love was not for her. The author of the acclaimed bestseller The Transgender Issue argues that love should be rooted in society, a responsibility we should share as a collective, rather than just practiced individually in closed partnerships. Sometimes these romantic relations are motivated by something other than love. In her new book, Love In Exile, Shon analyses her previous relationships, addictions and romantic encounters which leads to her confronting her own sense of unworthiness. She makes sharp observations regarding the various models of relationships, which have evolved over the decades. In contrast, we are forced to look at our reality today. Whilst there are some positive developments for women in particular, we are also dealing with a large sense of lovelessness that spans across society. She concludes that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture, mainly the dominance of consumer capitalism and the possible number one source of our inadequacy; social media. Originally from Bristol, Shon had a short stint in London as a lawyer, after which she quit, moved back to Bristol and came out as Transgender. Here we chat to Shon about friendships, capitalism and how love can be a spiritual experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7d9924a-79fe-40a4-8e3e-c7d689843cba/shon+faye+1_.png Features - Shon Faye on the Politics of Love, Competitive Dating Rituals and Finding Yourself Lovable - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-give-yourself-over-to-absolute-pleasure monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/08de2c84-80c7-4ef0-91f9-454c04f49d01/lauren+1_+copy.png Features - Love Bite: Food for Pleasure, Valentine's Day and a Sexy Puttanesca Recipe - Make it stand out Food is romantic, it just is. Think about it: Lady and the Tramp sucking on a string of spaghetti; buying a friend or lover a packet of sweets from the shop when you pop in for some bog roll, just to see the smile on their face when you hand them over. Giving someone your last Rolo. Feeding someone, or eating with them, in any way, is always an act of love. That’s why I always think of Valentine’s Day as a particularly fun time for food and eating. I like all of the tacky chocolates in the shop – caramel hearts wrapped in red and pink foil in a little net, addressed to Someone Special – and I like browsing the Dine In For Two ranges in the supermarket, just to imagine the comfy evenings people might have on their sofas while they scrape forks around a foil dish of Dauphinoise or microwave a twin pack of gooey chocolate puddings, watching something crap on TV - the normality of it exactly the point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1738593996719-IEWOYO7TSBA2ISZ25BYH/lauren+2_+copy.png Features - Love Bite: Food for Pleasure, Valentine's Day and a Sexy Puttanesca Recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sabrina-brier-cover-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52b1f45d-7412-4b12-8f5e-99b1d551e1f5/Sabrina+Brier+Polyester+zine+Cover+January+2025.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ In 2025, despite internet celebrities walking red carpets and winning awards, there remains a misconception that if you’ve gained a following online – whether for your clothes, your comedy, or your expertise – that fame has found you by accident. On the one hand, it is true that on a weekly basis, a new main character of TikTok emerges, is quickly handed a fashion campaign, and then, more often than not, fades back into near obscurity. But on the other, there are people like Sabrina Brier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f8c754d8-a800-408e-bcce-3dcf06251061/LKT00423.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7b08154c-949b-4dd5-8da1-a6f613d63f45/LKT00141.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Coat: 7 for All Mankind | T-shirt: Coach | Choker: Delosantos | Earrings & Rings: Ming Yu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4f50e02d-461c-4017-b9d8-8dfae95a030e/LKT00168.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b712b3b0-146b-4ac9-b314-3ef732e19311/LKT00861.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a4c7ab8a-81dc-4d3f-82d7-87ff0d903268/LKT09781.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5b127b65-01ab-4ff7-b6c9-2c9a7cbc1fd8/LKT00277-Edit.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Top: Gauntlett Cheng | Jacket: David Lerner | Pants: Private Policy | Boots: Michael by Michael Kors | Necklace: Bimba Y Lola | Rings: Ming Yu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97a2fdab-f495-4d11-b503-8ce16fc49a76/LKT00316.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7361b7e-2151-4017-9849-2729926f829c/LKT00383.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23ce9917-39aa-4577-874b-ce1273ad9df4/LKT00619.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0a38d87-3539-4a95-9ce6-968bd8ef91a4/LKT00711-2.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Dress: Private Policy | Coat: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Boots: Louboutin | Bag: Private Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba3c5257-b091-4f00-837b-457a636128c7/LKT09723.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Coat: AKNVAS | Bodysuit: Wolford | Tights: Falke | Skirt: Coach | Boots: Taottao | Gloves: Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c193153-005d-42ca-ac52-2427491ad017/LKT00737.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67d91d21-eb7c-4758-974c-6104180199b5/LKT00486.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd7c5bd6-409e-4405-acc9-e30583f498c9/LKT09657.jpg Features - Sabrina Brier on Misogyny, Internet Fame and ‘That Friend’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/good-children-non-threatening-boys monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6911a7a8-a305-4763-9ec4-7777a7cb9bb5/Screenshot+2025-01-28+at+12.53.15.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: The Good Children Are Healing, Together - Make it stand out Joe Hegyes and Andrew Muscarella first met when they were four years old, at the side of a pool outside a Hard Rock Hotel. “It’s hard not to spot another gay boy,” Andrews says, “I probably saw Joe twirling and thought, yeah, that’s absolutely going to be my bestie for life”. Through their Italian-American childhoods in Long Island, closeted teen years and eventually moving in together, there’s always been one constant in their lives – each other. And the culmination of a lifetime of friendship, naturally, was starting their podcast, Good Children. “We’ve both pushed each other to grow in directions we didn’t think were possible. Seeing that reflected in our audiences’ eyes has only made it clearer how rare a friendship like that is,” reflects Joe. In their podcast, Joe and Andrew dive into their young lives as quintessential ‘good children’ and explore how that’s shaped who they are today. “The idea for this podcast came from discovering the concept of ‘Good Child Syndrome’ which really put a lot into perspective for us”, explains Andrew. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-rise-of-digital-worship-can-online-spaces-function-as-sacred-sites monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/117f4b34-d870-44b0-8909-77cdfabdfc36/collage+2.png Features - The Rise of Digital Worship: Can Online Spaces Function as Sacred Sites - Make it stand out St. Clare of Assisi (b.1194), the patron saint of television, offers a fitting entry point into the peculiar sanctity of our screen-bound age. Bedridden and unable to attend Mass, Clare is said to have witnessed the entire liturgy projected onto her cell wall — a divine broadcast that collapsed physical distance through the sheer force of her spiritual meditation. This miraculous vision feels eerily prescient in an era where livestreamed monasteries, ASMR prayer sessions and digital shrines are becoming sites of modern devotion. Like medieval pilgrims tracing hallowed routes to Santiago de Compostela or St. Peter’s Basilica, today's seekers navigate algorithmic pathways, hyperlink labyrinths, and curated timelines in search of transcendence. The rise of digital devotion includes Peter chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland, who recently installed an artificial intelligence-powered Jesus capable of dialoguing in 100 different languages. More than 1,000 people – including tourists from as far as China and Vietnam – took up the opportunity to interact with the avatar, where more than 230 users found it to be a “spiritual experience”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ca06c2cf-da24-4077-8906-edcb187eb643/collage+1_.png Features - The Rise of Digital Worship: Can Online Spaces Function as Sacred Sites - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-ethel-cains-perverts-tells-us-about-gen-zs-pivot-towards-fascism monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f2c91f6c-1420-40e2-a20e-296addcd2481/ethel+cain+1_.png Features - What Ethel Cain’s ‘Perverts’ Tells Us About Gen Z’s Pivot Towards Fascism - Make it stand out Performative indifference has become perhaps the most valued social currency among gen z - Nonchalance Rules Everything Around Me, evidenced by the cutting dismissal of anyone speaking passionately on a given topic with a curt “what is bro yapping about”, or Letterboxd comment sections, which seem less like forums for film discussion than frenzied competitions to see who can make the snappiest possible one sentence, all-lowercase, brainrot word salad-filled encapsulation of a 90+ minute long creative endeavour. Even expressing admiration for something beyond the safe, banal repetition of socially approved catchphrases - “ate”, “mothered”. “the second motherplane has hit the cuntagon” or “come onnnn”, “”, etc if you’re a straight boy - is met with accusations of glazing, meatriding or, perhaps most damning of all, “doing too much”. As the ever-increasing ephemerality of social media accelerates culture to previously unseen levels, art is no longer to be dissected, pored over and analysed - it is to be shitposted. Consumed and shat out, then flushed away to make way for the internet’s next preoccupation. It may leave behind a skidmark or two in the form of a few mildly amusing tweets or memes, but the days of openly discussing the lasting emotional impact of art feels long gone. Art isn’t supposed to stay with you anymore and even the most lingering, affecting works amount to little more than a protracted but ultimately inconsequential period of emotional constipation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1dcba04-356f-48e1-ae45-556c6f8e5d4a/ethel+cain+2_.png Features - What Ethel Cain’s ‘Perverts’ Tells Us About Gen Z’s Pivot Towards Fascism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mackenzie-thomas-on-downton-abbey-fan-fiction-niche-video-diaries-and-rejecting-virality monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe3d87d1-85cb-4f9d-8026-bbaa85907f07/portrait2.png Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Mackenzie Thomas is redefining girl blogging. As a writer, artist, and bona fide child of the internet, she’s cultivated a digital world that feels like hanging out with your funniest, most chaotic friend. Best known for her viral diary TikToks that have racked up over 100 million views as well as for starting the Uncut Gems meme, Thomas has an online presence that oscillates between hilariously candid and deeply introspective. Whether she’s posting webcam videos on YouTube talking about her distaste for cauliflowers, promoting her PMDD essay in the campiest way possible (an IG live, of course), or turning her CVS tattoo into an emblem of nostalgia, Mackenzie has mastered the art of blending hyper-specificity with universal relatability. Aged 26, she grew up in New Jersey and now lives in New York City where she “does whatever she wants” (in her own words). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b5e6db5a-fa56-48c4-82e0-71991abfc2a4/MACKportrait.png Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/768689ca-da76-436b-9d22-6fe6092e6f35/PAPERS.jpg Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5533a001-ee26-459f-9a5f-226e388a35b3/FUCK.jpg Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d41b8173-e0b8-4a50-b694-f02293562b77/FISHEYEPAINT.jpg Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4acef1aa-c91e-4f96-941c-9c34e4ab12bc/Screenshot+2025-01-08+at+11.30.40.png Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/693ea048-6b90-44da-bb65-37fd88960e75/girlrot.jpg Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9873b57f-1c9f-46bd-9a72-857d8007a58b/HELLO.png Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec818a0e-7efa-407b-a311-760117079740/nonHELLObw.png Features - Mackenzie Thomas on ‘Downton Abbey’ Fan Fiction, Niche Video Diaries, and Rejecting Virality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/neil-gaiman-tumblr-and-how-abusers-hide-behind-male-feminism monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c2a7b78-f9ad-45ad-8bb4-1e9b483e8a32/neil+gaiman.png Features - Neil Gaiman, Tumblr and How Abusers Hide Behind Male Feminism - Make it stand out The Internet has always served as a safe haven for angsty teenagers. If you were as chronically online as I was in 2013 you might remember joshishollywood also known as confusedtree on Tumblr, as a beloved, floppy-haired Canadian famous for his signature bow tie and hipster glasses. Josh was one of the first examples I had of a male feminist. Regularly featured on his blog were impassioned critiques of male privilege and sexist portrayals of female characters in popular fandoms. One of the “good guys.” Someone to look up to at a time when I hated everyone. Until one day, I saw a story from an underage user alleging that they received unsolicited nudes from the then-24-year-old. Other stories emerged and details of similar creepy harassments from Josh overtook my timeline. Backlash was swift. His feminism was a shield, detractors detailed, a mask to hide sordid intentions behind. He disappeared. To this day, there is no trace of the user on the internet other than mentions of this scandal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f222b37-d23f-4596-a0ae-5d12b04f9280/2.png Features - Neil Gaiman, Tumblr and How Abusers Hide Behind Male Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-david-lynch-forever monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/083efa7c-980f-4ca8-ad0c-187028fdc25d/david+lynch+1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys* - David Lynch Forever - Make it stand out At the age of 14 I fell in love with David Lynch because of his immense skill in interpreting abstract feelings, willingness to share his wisdom, and ability to dance across the tightrope between mainstream and avant-garde. Like most of his dedicated watchers, he was fascinated by the dark underbelly of worlds perceived as idealistic. Lynch dared to explore the beneath while never forgetting the beauty of the above, an essential quality if you want to ensure you don’t drown in The Horrors. It is revoltingly hard not to fall into self-sabotage when you’re a young budding artist. “I need to smoke in my black turtleneck in a shadowy corner of the University courtyard”, thinks the 19-year-old film student. “I got a C because I had it too easy. I need to follow the daily routine of Hunter S. Thompson, and hang out under Sylvia Path’s Fig Tree if I’ll ever make it in this town *takes drag*”. Yet, despite the stereotype, all of us who have decided to indulgently participate in these depressive pits know that creation is the last thing happening when your life is polluted with sadness. As someone who has always struggled with remembering the beauty of The Above, I would say it was life-altering to hear Lynch share his humanist outlook. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-are-age-gap-romances-gen-zs-biggest-taboo monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/91cfad37-f637-4f06-bddf-b3f89af8f1a9/age+gap+1.png Features - Why Are Age Gap Romances Gen Z’s Biggest Taboo? - Make it stand out Perversely intriguing, controversially erotic, intergenerational age gap relationships have become a constant source of online discourse and debate over the last few years. Physically mismatched couples have made entire careers from rage-bait content, video essayists comment on the problematic nature of any and all, real and fictional, age gap relationships, and we daily discover a new inappropriate partnership to cancel. Intergenerational couplings are becoming increasingly synonymous with grooming and perversion, as we create new mathematics and biologies to explain why even the smallest age gaps are wrong. Yet, as we nitpick their morality, we also revel in their erotic potential, as exemplified by the onslaught of cinema focusing on these transgressive couples. How we engage with intergenerational relationships suggests we are turning the age gap into a new taboo, reflecting an unresolvable tension in our perceptions of youth and ageing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef32c027-5b04-4cfc-a09f-aea12ef7be79/age+gap+2_.png Features - Why Are Age Gap Romances Gen Z’s Biggest Taboo? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/babes-with-blades-jade-ang-jackman-and-ayesha-hussain-on-the-matrix-swordsmanship-heritage-and-action-films-for-femmes monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ca2bcd85-1287-4bd7-8959-a63efc386faa/Screenshot+2024-07-29+at+16.15.08.png Features - Babes With Blades’ Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain on ‘The Matrix’, Swordsmanship Heritage and Action Films for Femmes Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Even better - it’s the action-packed stunt woman duo Babes With Blades! Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain are putting the women of stunt-heavy, high-octane action films at the forefront while breaking barriers on and off the screen. Between Jade’s masterful direction and Ayesha’s mastery of the blade - and whip, and basically anything dangerous - the two are carving out a niche space for overlooked talent in a genre dominated by mainstream narratives, i.e., cis white men with mommy issues. Babes With Blades is, in their own words, “all about the killer vibes”, a part film collective and part fight club that puts on screenings and panels on fashion, femininity and force. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee64455a-4ec6-4b56-b008-b0d6071dfb4f/Screenshot+2024-07-09+at+16.05.58.png Features - Babes With Blades’ Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain on ‘The Matrix’, Swordsmanship Heritage and Action Films for Femmes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6e8e3bd6-f813-47da-8dcc-07db0abea8c6/Screenshot+2023-06-23+at+13.50.00.png Features - Babes With Blades’ Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain on ‘The Matrix’, Swordsmanship Heritage and Action Films for Femmes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1a102d47-c898-4a29-9e69-ba673608b9fa/BwB_01_Ayesha_Covers_02_CMYK.jpg Features - Babes With Blades’ Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain on ‘The Matrix’, Swordsmanship Heritage and Action Films for Femmes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/197cdc67-127b-4778-99ff-bc08b62ce2c8/Screenshot+2025-01-16+at+14.47.01.png Features - Babes With Blades’ Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain on ‘The Matrix’, Swordsmanship Heritage and Action Films for Femmes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/beb89eea-d50b-4bc3-9990-91bd6bcd09c1/Screenshot+2023-10-31+at+22.47.24.png Features - Babes With Blades’ Jade Ang Jackman and Ayesha Hussain on ‘The Matrix’, Swordsmanship Heritage and Action Films for Femmes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-slums-of-beverly-hills-and-a-different-type-of-girlhood monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e27bc6a0-b82e-4ca6-8452-6d662b2c9915/collage.png Features - Film Fatale: Slums of Beverly Hills and a Different Type of Girlhood - Make it stand out When I saw this screenshot of Natasha Lyonne in a raggedy Charles Manson t-shirt, a yellow telephone in hand, and her gorgeous mane of strawberry blonde hair tied up into a ponytail, I knew I was in for a winner. I came across the image around the age of 15, on Tumblr of course. In order to make this image my pfp with sound mind - and to see just what Lyonne was doing in that Manson shirt - I had to watch the film it came from: Slums of Beverly Hills directed by Tamara Jenkins in 1998. In this raunchy coming of age film, we follow an 18 year old Lyonne playing 14 year old Vivian Abromowitz, a character that has the signature boyish charm Lyonne gives us in many of her roles, predicating Nadia Vulvokov, a chainsmoking computer coder, from the Netflix series Russian Doll and But I’m a Cheerleader (1999) where Lyonne plays a lesbian going through conversion therapy led by RuPaul. She is raspy voiced and pissed off at any obtuse gender stereotypes that are imposed or expected of her. The characters Lyonne typically plays always wanting to do their own thing but are faced with frustratingly unique obstacles, yet in the case of Slums of Beverly Hills, the trope gets uncomfortably relatable when puberty gets in the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e91bc54-4aee-4ad6-90f4-bc2da00328b3/WhatsApp+Image+2025-01-08+at+12.24.05.jpeg Features - Film Fatale: Slums of Beverly Hills and a Different Type of Girlhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-what-makes-a-great-nicole-kidman-look monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c7b0231-6917-47b9-aacb-8e3368e77ac3/Nicole+1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: What Makes a Great Nicole Kidman Look? “Nicole Kidman’s ‘terrible’ Vanity Fair cover outfit has fans ‘shocked’” ran Page Six in response to her appearance in the viral Miu Miu mini and crop top look that dominated 2022. Why exactly her fans were so shocked by the sexy outfit and coquettish pose doesn’t make a lot of sense for an actress whose career has repeatedly been defined by roles that see Kidman as an empowered erotic figure and an agent of female desire well into her 50s. That Kidman has continued to play roles where she is sexy, has her own sexual appetite, and this is not treated as a sort of punchline is pretty anomalous in an industry that has historically had such a hard time seeing actresses over 35 through a sexual lens. Now, with the release of Halina Reijn’s Babygirl whipping everyone into a frenzy it feels like a perfect time to look back at Kidman’s career and the persona which seems to effortlessly encapsulate both a sort of Martha Stewart-esque buttoned up perfection and a deeply vital siren quality. Central to Nicole Kidman’s image is a duality that, obviously along with the classic ageism, might go some way to explaining the general public's surprised reaction to seeing her in the Miu Miu look. Whilst sexual power is a large feature of many classic Kidman roles, she also represents an icy imperiousness, an aura of wealth and containment that, to me, aligns her with Grace Kelly making her a contemporary call back to the Hitchcock Blonde. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4fce1a0-d139-42ad-a8bc-dec369ed185f/Nicole+2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: What Makes a Great Nicole Kidman Look? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/doechiis-industry-plant-allegations-and-the-hypocrisy-of-hip-hop-heads monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0df83b6a-0ff8-4b5d-a510-4d39d23dcedf/doe.png Features - Doechii’s Industry Plant Allegations and the Hypocrisy of Hip Hop Heads - Make it stand out It’s midday in early November and I’m catching up on the afternoon breaking news.

One event, Pop: Contagion, Infection, Revolution, will try to look at how pop culture has become entwined with revolution in the past 50 years. Curated by Cici Peng, the show features experimental moving-image works from 1968 to present day and asks what a ‘pop’ image represents and how it influences us in 2025. I was first made aware of the power of pop in culture in 1997, when then prime minister Tony Blair invited British celebrities to Downing street in an event culminated from the movement that the press labelled ‘Cool Britannia’. Infamously, Blur frontman Damon Albarn declined the invite, voicing skepticism towards the government's motives, stating “an unpleasant odour of nationalism” had become associated with Cool Britannia and Britpop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39b5456d-760b-494c-929a-c6756ed40981/Contagion%2C+Infection%2C+Revolution+2.png Features - How Pop Culture Has Accompanied, Influenced and Soundtracked Revolution&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-politics-of-close-friends-storiesnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/362c2367-de1c-4160-a8bd-de0404b19930/Close+Friend+1.png Features - Inside the Parasocial Politics of Close Friends Stories&nbsp; - Make it stand out One morning, on my way to work, I passed out on the sidewalk while waiting for my bus. To be more accurate, I passed out into the street. I came to almost immediately, my palms, elbows, and knees scraped up. I put on Hello Kitty bandaids, got to work, checked my list of Instagram close friends and I posted a photo of my knees. My close friends story isn’t exactly close friends, at least it isn’t always. There’s a regular cast, then there are supporting actors and guest stars, catered to whatever I’m posting in those 24 hours — a digital representation of the ways in which I compartmentalise. I don’t want my childhood best friend to hear that I lost my job or that I’ve memorised all 197 world countries, but I’ll let her know I tried snus or let her give me advice on friend zoning someone. Sometimes I’ll add and remove people in pairs, in case they’re hanging out. Occasionally I add someone back into the rotation because I’m worried they might notice their absence and feel bad. It feels completely ridiculous, and it is, but it’s also political. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba3fea0c-9a7d-4d1c-83ac-314dc271b436/Close+Friends+2.png Features - Inside the Parasocial Politics of Close Friends Stories&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-reviewing-harris-dickinsons-queer-roles monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5ca15e7-dea0-4821-abd7-61547d717ee8/beach+rat+brad+davis+copy.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Reviewing Harris Dickinson’s Queer Roles - Make it stand out It's a new year and there's a new Nicole Kidman age-gap romance film hitting the cinema, for which I thank the celluloid gods. Long term readers might remember that Nicole is my number one favourite actress in the modern era, with all her icy Novakian-Hitchcock blonde-ness mixed with a touch of pseudo-exotic white androgyny a la Garbo or Dietrich, making her, in my opinion, one of the last real Film Stars. Lately, it seems like she's taken a break from the quietly offbeat bad-wig-wearing heroines of experimental cinema and is trading again in romance, which I will never be mad about. Last year, we saw the release of A Family Affair, a romantic comedy about Joey King being a personal assistant to douchey action star Zac Efron who starts a relationship with King’s mother, Nicole Kidman. Whilst this might sound like a goofy fan fiction premise, I absolutely loved it, with a surprisingly accomplished and tender performance from Efron, matching well with a breezily effortless Kidman. There was enough joy in the script that allowed for glamour - like, why does a widowed author have a closet full of unworn Chanel couture? - and moments of real connection that weaves in and out of the meta-narrative, like when Efron romances her on the empty sound stage at the film studio. Throw in Kathy Bates as a grandmother to sweeten the deal? Four stars from me, very camp, absolute banger, will deffo watch again. Never in my life did I think this would be the beginning of a trend of more glam-older-woman and hot-young-stud romance films in Kidman’s career, but I’m more than ready for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83fbc166-15ca-48f5-85fc-c4bbd63d8cef/postcards+from+london+copy.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Reviewing Harris Dickinson’s Queer Roles - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/inside-vincent-wechselbergers-intimate-portraits-of-queer-sex-workers monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e79995d-3612-48b1-9a2e-ff56c71be089/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready04.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out “I interviewed my friend Maria in London,” said Vincent, “She is talking about how she doesn’t want to be a barista because she gets weird comments. On the other hand, when she has [sex work] clients, they tell her she’s beautiful.” Vincent Wechselberger was studying photography in university and working as a sex worker. At seventeen or sixteen, he started on dating apps when he received a message from an older man asking if he wanted to earn some pocket money. It was always nice to have the extra income, he noted. When he decided he wanted his graduation project to destigmatise the lived experiences of sex workers. Through talking to people for two years, finding cheap, bright hotels with heart-shaped mirrors in Bangkok and Berlin designed especially for sexual encounters, and finding out how one friend’s friend was killed during sex work, he realised sex workers share common stories and challenges even in radically different cultures. His first photobook, Holes, documented assholes at the WHOLE queer music festival in Germany, where he’s from. At a party when he finds himself vibing with someone, it’s often a sex worker. Wanting to replicate this emotional connection, his second book Ready captures his friends often in blurry early 2000s phone photography, dousing it in universal nostalgia. This is also why he chose showing the process of getting ready through photographing items in their friends’ bags. “It humanises the person,” he said, “So people can like, ’Oh my god, I also have this lipstick or I'm also using this condom brand’.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1cdd649-2fb1-4a00-a9cb-b2ef97a4bc9f/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready15.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/72ce99af-4bdc-4259-b64a-4a9f7f8ee582/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready21.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a881659d-9fbf-4fd1-a16e-00866266b8f2/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready01.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8642a5ff-38bf-4832-8ebc-7812317949c0/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready11.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d4ad9511-ec7e-4f90-9927-687ea18d4f6b/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready22.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0065963b-edc2-4f25-832f-9b6a3672fb0a/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready13.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/047e2d78-8a31-47f0-9503-061ccbeac588/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready05.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1736782916215-A272FM1OT44EQKGOG8M6/vincent+wechselberger+intimate+portraits+queer+sex+workers+photographer+polyester+zine+polyesterzine Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fb03996-50d6-43d7-9a99-6c988c2296d3/Vincent_Wechselberger_Ready07.jpg Features - Inside Vincent Wechselberger's Intimate Portraits of Queer Sex Workers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/pulp-fucking-in-the-bathroom-dancefloor-lovenbsp monthly 0.5 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79492114-bbe0-4513-aac5-ed70c3f41f61/2.jpg Features - Dancefloor Love is Our Exclusive Extract from the New Erotic Publication PULP Zine - Make it stand out “Dancefloor love is a real thing,” she proclaims, looking me dead in the eyes as she bites into a Magnum.

Yet there’s a fine line between passion and obsession - when every single aspect of one’s life is adhered to a societal pressure that is impossible to achieve. Films like Perfect Blue (1997) and Black Swan (2010) are cult classics for the girls with exceedingly high expectations. They serve as a compelling artistic mirror, truly exposing the emotional and psychological toll obsessive’s expectations have. Perfect Blue, is a Japanese anime psychological thriller directed by Satoshi Kon. In the film, we follow a young J-pop star named Mima, lead singer of the idol group CHAM! The film begins with Mima giving her last performance with the band, announcing her departure, and her debut as a rookie actress. Despite having mixed reviews from the public, Mima does her best to persevere through the criticism, to achieve her dreams. Throughout the film, Mima is navigating celebrity life, pursuing her acting career, while also dealing with objectification, stalking, and the impenetrable male gaze, that in turn makes her question her public persona. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dce53cb2-6869-4e99-9405-f8e1937ff558/perfect+blue+2.png Features - The Duality of Perfect Blue and Black Swan Asks:Why are We Obsessed with Obsession? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-matt-rogers-is-christmas monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ac73018-33ed-4fb4-b611-0fe522c8d8e9/matt+rogers+lead+image.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Matt Rogers *Is* Christmas - Make it stand out The figure most heavily associated with Christmas at large, of course, is Mariah Carey. But for a certain type of pop culture consumer – that is, gay men and bisexual woman who you’re currently avoiding due to the strength of their opinions on Wicked – there’s someone who comes a close second. That is the comedian, actor, cultural savant and musician Matt Rogers (in at three: baby Jesus). Over the past few years, Rogers – who is especially beloved for his work on the podcast Las Culturistas, hosted alongside SNL’s Bowen Yang – has become the self-proclaimed Prince of Christmas. This, he tells me when we chat via Zoom, the day after Thanksgiving, started as a joke, but grew legs as time went on. He wrote Christmas songs with his musical collaborators, inspired in equal parts by The Lonely Island and Carey; then he started performing Christmas-themed live shows. Eventually, the live shows turned into a full blown TV special called Have You Heard of Christmas?, which both celebrates the season and winks towards its craven capitalism. That was followed by an album of the same title the following year. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-makeup-trend-forecasting-for-2025-mushroom-monotones-dramatic-lashes-and-disorganisation monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b439149a-ac5b-4b2b-8fd5-2cb632bfca18/grace+final+collage.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Makeup Trend Forecasting For 2025 - Mushroom Monotones, Dramatic Lashes and Disorganisation Makeup in 2024 has been dominated by two distinct vibes, poppy blush and fresh girly complexions or a 90s and early 00s palette of cool toned greys and structured greige lip lines. For 2025, beauty is shifting its lens forward to the mid/late 00s with its smudgy eyeliner, less defined lip and inclusion of shimmering shadow. This look is being combined with a general mood of what I am going to call “literary gothic”, a dark, romantic but surprisingly minimal and natural feeling, think Bronte heroine, as well as an embrace of indeterminate muted tones pulled from references in the natural world. Things are becoming more minimal and more subcultural at the same time. This means less complexion colour, blush is paring back to fit the new gothic swing and shapes are soft and worn in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/448e379c-40e7-4175-b916-6339f2dadca7/Polyester+Beauty+.jpg Features - Beauty Archivist: Makeup Trend Forecasting For 2025 - Mushroom Monotones, Dramatic Lashes and Disorganisation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/253dfa52-f5b9-4e38-8110-2afffb82328b/Polyester+Beauty+3.jpg Features - Beauty Archivist: Makeup Trend Forecasting For 2025 - Mushroom Monotones, Dramatic Lashes and Disorganisation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0111b220-bc70-4d1f-b54a-f96e670d096c/Polyester+Beauty+2.jpg Features - Beauty Archivist: Makeup Trend Forecasting For 2025 - Mushroom Monotones, Dramatic Lashes and Disorganisation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boysi-need-a-hero-luigi-mangione-and-the-age-of-the-antiheronbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a4ee82d-b982-42d1-beae-096dff651a62/luigi+collage1.png Features - Non-Threatening Boys*:I Need A Hero: Luigi Mangione and the Age of the Antihero&nbsp; - Make it stand out In recent days, much ink has been spilled (keys tapped?) attempting to parse the Internet’s obsession with alleged CEO assassin Luigi Mangione.

In regards to Mangione’s folk hero status, the media, from the New York Times to Fox News, seems uniformly shocked. Yet, in this politically contentious time, the people themselves, expressing themselves loquaciously in the digital town square, seem uniformly pleased. The handsome smile he flashed over his medical mask took the Internet by storm, earning him the ultimate au courant honor– a lookalike contest in Washington Square Park, before anyone knew who exactly they were trying to look like. The making of a counterculture hero was underway. When the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson was apprehended in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, the handsome smile grew into an even more handsome face and, frankly, an even more handsome body. Within minutes of the release of the suspect’s name– the phonetically delightful Luigi Mangione– his social media pages, from his Facebook to his GitHub, had been thoroughly scoured. What they revealed was a shockingly normal, if not aspirational, young man on the familiar trajectory from UPenn frat boy to surf hostel resident-slash-spiritual tourist. With his good looks, family money, and impressive resume, Mangione was privy to the best of what this society, with its fetishes for status and whiteness, can offer a person, yet he ended up as whatever you want to call him now– a vigilante, an icon, a murderer. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-cottagecore-to-tradwife-how-retrofuturism-in-fashion-predicts-fascism monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39205c21-4892-4863-a1fc-8f449fb49904/altright+collage+2_.png Features - From Cottagecore to Tradwife: How Retrofuturism in Fashion Predicts Fascism - Make it stand out Through the looking glass, there’s a woman. A gingham-frocked, soft spoken woman showing me how to make a sourdough loaf shaped like a flower, or pumpkin, or mushroom. Elsewhere, she shares her frustrations with capitalism and the soul-crushing nature of corporate labour. During lockdown, she reveals via voiceover, she learned to forage for fungi and started a garden with her unnamed partner, helping them reconnect with the earth. Curiouser and curiouser. As I squint at the glass, hoping to catch a better glimpse of this woman, I am on high alert – as many of us have been. For what seems like the millionth time this year, I ask myself the same grating question: “is she a tradwife or a queer cottagecore enthusiast?” She’s someone’s doppelganger, but whose? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d63ea02-30dc-4e5a-adaa-82f20064666e/altright+collage+1_.png Features - From Cottagecore to Tradwife: How Retrofuturism in Fashion Predicts Fascism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/hannah-berner-on-we-ride-at-dawn-facing-reality-tv-vitriol-and-using-tiktok-as-the-ultimate-open-mic-night monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d5fc7f6-b6d6-4dfa-bc17-59312f6bd167/20241106_Polyester_HannahBerner_S04_0824.jpg Features - Hannah Berner on We Ride At Dawn, Facing Reality Tv Vitriol and Using TikTok as the Ultimate Open Mic Night - Make it stand out For the first twenty years of her life, Hannah Berner doesn’t think she ever once had fun. It is an unexpected admission from a woman best known for her stand-up comedy, unfiltered “girls’ girl” TikTok persona, and multiple acerbically witty podcasts. Take a cursory scroll through Berner’s social media pages, and it is a matter of seconds before you’ll encounter a video of her in fits of uncontrollable laughter, either on stage or with her best friend and Giggly Squad podcast host Paige DeSorbo. And, this summer, she added a Netflix stand-up special to her already glittering CV. In fact, nowadays, it looks as though 33-year-old Berner has carved a career for herself based precisely on the objective of having as much fun as possible. But before charming the masses online, Berner was in the belly of an entirely different and much more ascetic beast – as an elite tennis player. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3738791a-7efd-4d6f-95f0-2e44f2fae088/20241106_Polyester_HannahBerner_S01_0108+copy.jpg Features -

Culture Slut: On Derek Jarman, Klaus Nomi and AIDS On Screen - Make it stand out As a deep, dark, wet December takes over, so do all the annual tributes to togetherness and family; Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and perhaps the most poignant of all, World AIDS Day. Held in some form or other since 1988, World AIDS Day is important as both a tool for continuing to raise awareness around HIV and AIDS, as well as for mourning the estimated 40 million people who have died from the disease. In Brighton, as in many cities across the country, a candlelit vigil is held by one of the few (but gradually increasing) monuments dedicated to those affected by AIDS, where politicians, activists, community leaders, friends and family speak to a hushed audience, and lists of names are read aloud to remind us of those we have lost. World AIDS Day is something that still affects every queer person, whether they realise it or not. When I first started going out to gay clubs in the mid 00s, we were still very much living in the spectre of AIDS, with bowls of free condoms in every bar, posters with helplines on every wall, and Terrence Higgins Trust nurses offering free HIV tests routinely making the rounds of the gayborhoods. Our teenage sex education in schools was so woefully inadequate, and mentions of the queer kind so totally erased, that all my knowledge came from the bars and the old queens that survived the unimaginable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7fa866ca-e2c3-41c5-a813-46957137ff4f/derek+jarman+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Derek Jarman, Klaus Nomi and AIDS On Screen - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-to-be-glamorous-with-chelsea-fairless-and-lauren-garroni monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b847ba21-25de-4048-add3-7162f4cf95c3/14.jpg Features - How to be Glamorous with Chelsea Fairless and Lauren Garroni - Make it stand out Chelsea Fairless and Lauren Garroni started the @everyoutfitonsatc Instagram account as a joke eight years ago.

A Bitch's Best Friend - Why the Female Dog Metaphor Keeps Falling Flat - Make it stand out In the beloved fall film When Harry Met Sally (1989), the two titular friends fight at their respective best mates’ wedding. Having impulsively hooked up with one another, Sally is still irked about how it went down while Harry insists on moving on. He asks, “You know how a year to a person is like seven years to a dog?” to which Sally angrily replies, “Is one of us supposed to be a dog in this scenario?” When Harry confirms the metaphor, Sally shouts, “I am? I am the dog? I am the dog?!” Their confrontation becomes so heated she finally says, “Fuck you!” and slaps Harry across the face. Sally, usually the poised and proper type, is disarmed by Harry’s pitiful comparison, but his calling her a dog allows her to tap into a frustration she previously could not articulate. She draws a firm boundary and he is the one left barking on the other side of the fence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88ad6678-e4af-4c34-9a19-9b55fa934afa/nightbitch+2.png Features - A Bitch's Best Friend - Why the Female Dog Metaphor Keeps Falling Flat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/this-gallant-knight-is-serving-high-kurrrnntt monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0768bb46-e783-4fc4-a07a-0c04d8f3dec0/IMG_5199.jpg Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out New York’s very own Armor Girl, Saman Bakayoko, stars in this chainmail infused editorial featuring our very own Joan of Arc traipsing through New York, sword unsheathed. From hot dog stands to hailing cabs, what can’t our heroine accomplish in a full set of clink-clink gear? In a charming turn of events, she “happens” upon the Medieval and Arms & Armor exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and feels almost serendipitous. On her creative practice of posing in armour, Saman says: "To me wearing armor symbolizes power and protection. Armor typically isn’t seen on black people let alone black women who are the least protected and least in power. The stories told of people in Armor in museums are not black or women or queer so it is interesting that I get to create that story" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65f5c312-699a-47ab-8f99-c4677e9202c8/IMG_5034+copy-2.jpg Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ca48349-209f-4c62-836c-c0437c7df395/IMG_5379.jpg Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e363ed0-7cb4-4bec-a451-fd261824d279/IMG_5260-2.jpg Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d6cb9819-9a51-4e7b-b82c-ad157e413186/IMG_5363.jpg Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52f80928-6697-46c3-9521-05300a238be4/IMG_5293-2.jpg Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc8bf497-120f-4637-9203-8d862bb5c7b2/Screenshot+2024-11-28+at+11.12.13.png Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1bd72465-7a98-4d00-8bfe-4eb3c5e3bb7f/Screenshot+2024-11-28+at+11.12.44.png Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c773c1f4-34fc-4edc-b801-2b00f3aee971/Screenshot+2024-11-28+at+11.13.26.png Features - This Editorial Spotlights the Knight of New York - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/on-drama-queens-diary-girls-and-the-line-between-self-reliance-and-isolation monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d36377e-1b1c-4449-9406-15a63c67e07c/diaries+1_.png Features - On Drama Queens, Diary Girls and the Line Between Self Reliance and Isolation - Make it stand out What do you picture when you imagine a teenage girl's bedroom? Band posters on the walls, clothes scattered on the floor, fairy lights, the usual. But what’s hidden, unseen but known, is the top drawer of the nightstand, where a diary with a small locket is kept like a secret. This isn’t just a Hollywood trope — think Mia Thermopolis’s diary in The Princess Diaries (2001), Lola’s narration in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), or Lara Jean’s letters in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018). Girls have countless ways of keeping diaries: the one shared with friends, the one kept private, or the one signed by classmates at the end of the school year. Though diaries have become a business, with coloured tabs, voice activated locks, and plush exteriors, they remain one of the most intimate relationships in a teenage girl’s life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9d7ae0c-c5c8-4ff3-ad77-3e8c8add6cd0/diairies+2_.png Features - On Drama Queens, Diary Girls and the Line Between Self Reliance and Isolation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-algorithm-darlings-unwrapping-who-won-pop-music-and-social-media-in-2024nbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/272fd60c-02e9-4a5f-938a-b3ba7e437e70/collage+2.png Features - The Algorithm Darlings - Unwrapping Who Won Pop Music in 2024&nbsp; - Make it stand out Once a viral moment that set the internet alight, Spotify Wrapped seems to become less and less exciting every year, mostly because of the increasing sameness across what people I follow are listening to. I have never felt more siloed into my echo chamber than last year when Spotify told me my listening tastes were most similar to people who live in the London borough of Islington – I’m based in Hackney, just a few miles away. Nevertheless, it’s been an interesting year in pop music – one in which many of the year’s anticipated albums didn’t really slap. Dua Lipa’s repetitive, mid-tempo disco record was a snoozefest. Katy Perry’s cringe-filled comeback bombed. SZA kept us waiting another year for Lana. Even the incessant drone of Taylor Swift fandom suffered through a mediocre album. And a pair of languid releases from pop heavyweights – Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter and Ariana Grande’s eternal sunshine – were critical hits, but never quite caught fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe6dea02-676a-4558-ba00-239b72196c23/collage+1.png Features - The Algorithm Darlings - Unwrapping Who Won Pop Music in 2024&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sofia-coppola-cover-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/44cb9cff-8e23-47b5-a779-559bd48254ce/sofia+coppola+for+instagram+cover+polyester+zine+v1.jpg Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out I think it's fair to say that amongst the pages of Polyester, Sofia Coppola needs no introduction. 2024 has been a year defined by ‘girlhood’; bows, baby pink, collecting small dolls and embracing all the things we were taught to feel ashamed of as actual teenagers. But nearly all of our framework for understanding ‘girlhood’ can be traced back to a single director; Sofia gave us the visual language to not just understand but to romanticise our experiences - to lovingly curate our bedroom walls, then take a picture of our trinket littered shelves, then upload them to the social media platform of our choice. Despite all of the outside online discourse as to whether partaking in these rituals well into adulthood counts as self-infantilising, she’s always taken the thoughts and feelings of women and girls seriously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f2ce152-34b9-4b4a-b00c-623adfb85478/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.03.23.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e3ec8bab-7680-468d-90e8-856f16f4e09b/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.00.13.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b2eedeee-f0d9-4fe1-9b0c-93c500bb1c0a/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+15.59.59.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ba98a7d-e120-4299-bfa4-bd5ddd047d6c/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.03.02.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d000fd7c-8ff8-49ff-b437-62c0ffab8eda/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.01.25.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ba7195a-6967-4354-bb1c-71afbae4c04a/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.01.48.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e40fefc5-bece-4fe0-91a6-c3ee08b0b0a3/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.02.03.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed7a1bce-a46b-4be8-8db7-5c89bb31b940/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.01.01.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bb2a7b1-694c-4a94-b9c7-b5457fd9e4e3/Screenshot+2024-11-27+at+16.02.36.png Features - Sofia Coppola on the Girlhood Trend, Gracie Abrams and Never Growing Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sentimental-maximalism-and-the-politics-of-trinket-collecting monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fc3df0b-7d97-4280-be84-a54cf70a7d9f/trinket+collage+2_.png Features - Sentimental Maximalism and the Politics of Trinket Collecting - Make it stand out When Philadelphia-based artist Holly Simple was a child, she collected small things that felt special. Then, in high school she started a jewelry brand with her sister, which was made from junk and later, she developed another line made from broken objects. Nowadays, Simple has an extensive collection of trinkets, which she organizes for events, offering trinket bars where people can select pieces to be made into custom jewelry. In this way, digging through her collection is nostalgic, reminding her of being a child digging through her mother’s stuff. The act brings a feeling of levity despite the chaos of the current climate. In this way, trinkets act as a protection barrier, a concept that’s gaining steam across the internet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/805f51b4-b070-4739-965c-f5382d91e9c0/trinket+collage+1_.png Features - Sentimental Maximalism and the Politics of Trinket Collecting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-action-movies-are-for-lover-girls monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0ed9f50-1013-45db-a7e4-bb04fdc0ebd2/ntb+action+1_.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Action Movies are for Lover Girls - Make it stand out Love will drive you crazy. You may also literally drive a car off a bridge and jump out of a helicopter for love, if you’re James Bond or Danny Ocean, that is. While action films and romantic comedies certainly pander to their long-chosen demographics (“action movies are for boys,” “rom coms are for girls”), the genres are much closer – and undoubtedly more successful when merged – than commonly understood to be. As far back as I remember, I’ve long been a lover of romance films, whether comedy or drama – from first discovering the genre with “13 Going on 30” and “10 Things I Hate About You,” to my all-time, unwavering favorite, “When Harry Met Sally.” https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-a-hopefully-compelling-case-for-making-things-nice monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7d1ada4-b07d-4314-a802-677eb9d5c433/1_.png Features - Love Bite: A Hopefully Compelling Case for Making Things Nice - Make it stand out Something I quite like about myself is that I love having a nice time. Occasionally this desperate drive to only ever be enjoying myself can get annoying – like when I’m dithering over two different kinds of breadstick in the supermarket, wondering exactly which one will be the most satisfying, which is obviously ridiculous. In general, however, it’s good fun to simply decide that even if you’re just sitting at home in front of the TV, you can turn that into an occasion. Even if I’m just getting in after work, watching whatever brain rot I’ve hyperfixated on that week (currently I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and I make no apologies), I’ll make an effort for myself. Maybe I’ll put my pasta bake in a cute individual dish and serve it up the way I might if I were having a friend over. It’s good to make things lovely for yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b92e511-8521-486a-beef-6bfc53a4284e/2+copy.png Features - Love Bite: A Hopefully Compelling Case for Making Things Nice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/countess-luann-on-eternal-youth-her-famous-fans-and-being-the-greatest-housewife-of-all-time monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/018634bc-4e73-4e54-ada7-393af41a0dcf/countess+luann+cover.jpg Features - Countess Luann on Eternal Youth, Her Famous Fans and Being the Greatest Housewife of All Time - Make it stand out Countess Luann is an icon: with sixteen years in the limelight and counting, she has given us so much. On Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York, viewers watched Luann evolve from an uptight WASP locked in an unhappy marriage to a European count, through prison, sex with pirates, reality TV fame, and into her second act as a gay icon and Cabaret queen. Even though she’s not on The Real Housewives of New York any more, Luann’s still on our screens, after starring in Bravo spin-off Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake with her fellow housewife Sonja Morgan last year. Ahead of her upcoming seven-date Cabaret tour in the UK and Ireland next February, we caught up with the first lady of reality TV. (Note to self: be cool.

The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out My first time on the club stage, I was like a deer in headlights. Afterward, I studied the seasoned dancers as they shimmied on stage, seducing customers with a perfectly timed hair flip, a slow grind, and a twirl through the air on the shiny pole. These goddesses were a perfect mixture of confidence, strength, and softness. For 6 minutes, they made what I thought physically impossible appear effortless… all in 8” heels. There’s a reason strippers are considered the rock stars of sex work. Like athletes and other working-class laborers, our bodies are our instruments, how we use them is everything. By watching the OGs, I learned that seductive movement is not just a meal ticket, it is an art form with precise intention. No one knows that better than Kennady Schneider, pole dance coordinator for Anora. Based in Los Angeles, Kennedy is a stripper, pole instructor, and multi-disciplinary artist. Through months of preparation, Kennady transformed Mikey Madison into a pole princess fit for the night shift. Kennady's training and attention to detail shone as we watched Ani move through the club floor like a well-oiled machine. By building the titular character’s movement with the help of a working dancer, Madison’s prowess lent the film authenticity. As we talked, Kennady’s immense love and respect for the craft were palpable, her eyes lighting up as she talked about performing and coaching. Passion and drive get you far in this world, and Kennady is busy hustling her way to the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7891870-120e-42cf-a259-a24b93b4b225/22.png Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out JACKET: DOLCE & GABBANA | SHORTS: MM6 | GLOVES: HERMES VINTAGE | SHOES: MANOLO BLAHNIK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3f966a1-0671-4706-b914-82fa681caa08/20.png Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out SWEATER: COMME DES GARCON | SKIRT: JUNYA WATANABE | TIGHTS: WOLFORD | SHOES: STYLIST’S OWN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce1487c7-f920-4b9e-84af-2ceeecb1d1ec/FinalColoring_21.jpeg Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ba121f8-c89b-46df-b854-62ba1bb04482/23.png Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0aecb67f-ebbf-4013-ab35-8f529304994c/24.png Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/99130d56-660c-4889-894b-e66ccb174e3b/19.png Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9225cdbc-9653-42e9-bb76-5d9a6b6948cf/FinalColoring_26.jpeg Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec3d7cc7-44a0-4083-ab75-27058d468aba/25.png Features - The Sensualist: Kennady Schneider on Training Mikey Madison for Anora, Migration Stories and the Banality of Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-mover-and-shaker-lindsey-normington-on-playing-the-villain-in-anora-representing-a-community-and-unionising-a-strip-club monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8cc87e0-eadf-42c7-b8ec-26eb33b50f78/4.png Features - The Mover And Shaker: Lindsey Normington on Playing the Villain in Anora, Representing a Community and Unionising a Strip Club - Make it stand out Sex work and political activism have always gone hand-in-hand. Take International Whore’s Day, for example; our community’s day of honor marks the anniversary of a protest against working conditions. Our mere existence as laborers has always been highly politicized, with systemic whorephobia to battle at every turn. At industry gatherings, you rub shoulders with socialist strippers, anarchist porn stars, and communist dominatrixes. As a community, we have remained fiercely organized and unrelenting in our fight for decriminalization and protection in the workplace. In a post-FOSTA-SESTA world, our industry shifted in a dangerous direction. California limited labor rights in strip clubs by switching to employee status, undercutting the dancers. When I was scrolling on Instagram in 2022, I saw posts about a group of LA strippers striking at their club. I was thrilled to see them fighting for the right to work safely and shared post after post to my social media, hoping to spread the word. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c338fcc6-e8d4-4a67-a933-f291e4ed607c/FinalColoring_10.jpeg Features -

The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora Stripping is not for the weak. When at the club, you can’t just be sexy. On stage, you must be seductive and entertaining. On the floor, you must be fearless and persuasive. In champagne rooms, you must play many roles for customers — fantasy, therapist, comedian, girlfriend, Mistress. It’s exhausting having to be a dream girl. The veil drops in the dressing room. Slumped back in chairs, the heels come off, and bonding begins. Outfits get swapped, numbers get exchanged, and invitations outside the club are extended. I’ve made my closest friends this way. After all, when society has its back turned to you, you must have each other’s spandex-clad backs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f663aac2-786f-443a-853d-b1b8ce050b3e/Scan+8.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Jacket & Skirt: Saint Sintra | Bra: Stylist own | Bikini bottom: Stylist own | Earrings: Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97a1f43b-428e-449d-8939-14dacb7ee56e/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.18.14.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9077ec6e-2b96-40ba-9739-fe2dc9ec5fbd/Scan+9.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Top & Skirt: Stylist own | Anklet: Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/58a88faa-03bc-453a-a62c-6ddae2d2c572/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.18.53.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Blue Top: I AM GIA | Bikini top & bottom: Stylist own | Skirt: Priscavera | Tights: Wolford | Heels: Pleaser (stylist own) | Gold hoops: Stylist own | Rings (3 rings): Stylist own | Necklaces(Small heart & long gold chain): Stylist own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/447e1f45-4d88-4479-8bc0-7c9626d1fa59/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.19.35.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48811a0d-7a78-434b-8703-264351073fd4/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.19.19.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e922254-229f-424b-bac9-b081abda4660/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.20.27.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c12ad13-f4dc-4f72-b5f7-00effd8f5c35/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.20.35.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eeed1863-9d24-4a84-b4f8-f8690cfe4bc2/Screenshot+2024-11-25+at+15.20.01.png Features - The Girl’s Girl: Luna Sofia Miranda on Slayyyter, Movie Making and Hustling Her Way Into Anora - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/house-of-avalon-avalon-tv-american-dream monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/91ac3484-4c1b-4a86-b813-b9f75fb06de2/FINAL_Avalon_28.jpg Features - House of Avalon on Queer Creative Collaboration, Avalon TV and the American Dream - Make it stand out It takes a village to raise a child and it takes the House of Avalon seven legends to create, well, whatever they want. Following in the queer tradition of creating a chosen family and using everyone’s unique creative skills to succeed in drag, performance, art and entertainment, the House of Avalon celebrated a decade of joint glamour together this year. The House is comprised of the founder of the house, Hunter Crenshaw, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Symone and Gigi Goode - the former won the competition in season thirteen while Goode placed runner up in season twelve of the show, stylist Marko Monroe, makeup artist Rylie Holden, videographer and social media maestro Caleb and LA drag icon Grant Vanderbilt. After taking LA nightlife by storm as well as collaborating to show their best work on the aforementioned competition show, it was only a matter of time before someone clocked on that this House’s collective charisma needed to be seen by the masses. In 2023, the seven took to our screens to debut their variety show, Avalon TV on World of Wonder Plus to rapturous response - personifying the phrase ‘team work makes the dream work’. The second season of Avalon TV premiered in August 2024 and we caught up with the group before the end of the year to get a sneak peek into what makes their collaboration work so well, the nuances of marginalised representation and achieving the American Dream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa6f26b3-fb66-4ff0-9fb3-2e75077fa036/FINAL_Avalon_5.jpg Features -

Beauty Archivist: Wan Girl Winter and How Gothic Naturalism Took Over 2024 - Make it stand out After a few years now of clean girl beauty dominance, you might have been forgiven for thinking that the change in the beauty tide was flipping back to something more exuberant. Yet the cultural reemergence of the Gothic, a genre often not afraid of a high theatre beauty look, is this time arriving with a less predictable association. A pivot towards naturalism. The new Gothic Naturalism eschews powdered skin and dramatic black eye makeup for an embrace of beauty minimalism. The mood is above all, cinematic. It references films and gothic literature rather than music and subculture. It’s romantic and emotional, more Mary Shelley than Siouxsie Sioux. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24a12113-d795-44ef-b4d1-001a0ad4005b/11.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Wan Girl Winter and How Gothic Naturalism Took Over 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/is-onlyfans-being-taken-over-by-a-new-brand-of-pimp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d5c4921-6c1e-4ed8-8689-aad76dca35e0/faye+2+2_.png Features - Is OnlyFans Being Taken Over by a New Brand of Pimp? - Make it stand out In early September, prominent OnlyFans creators Levi (@levicoralynn) and Robbi (@meeposaurus) weighed in on an issue that’s been gaining serious traction for some time now, yet is largely slipping under the mainstream radar: the rise of OnlyFans management companies. Levi, Robbi, and many others argue that these companies are exploitative, undermine creator autonomy and are a threat to the authenticity that the platform is built on. Founded in 2016, OnlyFans exploded in popularity throughout the pandemic in particular because it gave adult content creators unprecedented ownership over their image, their content, and their bag. Though women continue to dominate the platform - representing around 70% of all creators - these male-led management companies are sparking a shift in the power dynamic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/302759c0-f8cc-4234-b5ff-f35e2f005313/faye+2_.png Features - Is OnlyFans Being Taken Over by a New Brand of Pimp? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-longlegs-was-made-for-the-women-of-america monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a32cd16f-6fd0-4fdf-bdc2-0fafd915331b/crim2+1_.png Features - Film Fatale: Longlegs was Made For the Women of America - Make it stand out I have a confession: I have been listening to true crime podcasts. On my walks to get a coffee, make dinner, and even drift off to sleep - two women, probably from the Midwest, are nattering in my ears about how relatable the victim is for being girl boss queen (she died in an office block) and thank God her doggo survived (the killer let her chihuahua live). As many experts have said, indulging in this type of content is unhealthy for the mind, although I don’t believe it takes a doctor of psychology to connect these dots. I think of this every time I wake up and realise I have accidentally listened to about 10 episodes while I have slept; I then worry my Crime Junkie podcast bedtime routine will turn me into a hotter and more successful Lee Harvey Oswald, JFKs assassinator that some suspect to be a victim of mind control by the CIA. True crime has dominated popular media long before podcasts - hundreds of years before Talk Tuah reached #4 on the Spotify charts. Prior to print media becoming readily available to the public, the 1500s enjoyed ballads that detailed horrific crimes, public executions brought people together until the late 1800s, and the first true crime magazine True Detective was published in 1924. Since the advent of television and accessible filmmaking, the screen has been a non-stop cycle of interviewing vulnerable family members of the deceased on worn sofas, upsetting convicts who may or may not be innocent through the muffled glass of the visitor room, and shoddy reconstructions of the worst moments of a person’s life featuring E-list actors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8392cbf9-cb9c-469d-a7a8-2e2aae2d13bb/true+detective+1_.png Features - Film Fatale: Longlegs was Made For the Women of America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tiktok-tarot-readers-spiritual-psychosis-and-how-magic-lost-its-spark monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d98e909d-8d7c-4d25-a95f-10ddf6ad95aa/tarot+1_.png Features - TikTok Tarot Readers, Spiritual Psychosis and How Magic Lost Its Spark - Make it stand out Whenever a tarot deck pops up on my Discover page, I know what it means - I’m about to be hooked on someone who doesn’t care if I live or die. Meta has been reading the desperate messages I sent to my friends and thought “Yep, bring the witches.” The first times, it felt good. After all, what harm could it be? The tarot readers were mostly sharing psychoanalytic advice in a more poetic way than my therapist, and I would go to bed with a lighter heart convinced that the Universe had a plan for me. Now, because a stranger on my screen said so, I was convinced that my path was written and what was meant for me would come to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/565d1553-0300-4a98-ba05-cb0b0350cad2/tarot+2.png Features - TikTok Tarot Readers, Spiritual Psychosis and How Magic Lost Its Spark - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-penny-is-spotlighting-local-culture-in-the-best-way monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8360dbd-183c-48bb-b85e-9cc20028ce91/penny+1_.png Features - The Penny is Spotlighting Local Culture in the Best Way - Make it stand out Off the plane at LaGuardia from Nova Scotia and into the first cab I saw, we headed into Brooklyn. The last time I was in New York was 2016, so I was ready to scour as much of the city as I could in my week long visit. The Canadian maple leaf cap was slipping off and the I <3 NYC t-shirt was slowly coming on - but I was tired and prayed for an easy going evening, before I started spending all my cash on bagels and getting lost on the Subway. Greeted with a postcard of a sweet chihuahua at the reception, I had a good feeling about staying at The Penny. Situated in Williamsburg, it's a more than ideal basecamp for a Big Apple excursion. My East coast downtime at The Penny was going exceptionally well - the room was well equipped with plenty of plug sockets and a skyline view - but it is not just the pleasant atmosphere or being named after a lovely chihuahua that made me like the hotel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd91a64c-6f99-4455-9a85-10aaec97d569/penny+2_.png Features - The Penny is Spotlighting Local Culture in the Best Way - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-dua-saleh-on-living-in-an-episode-of-atlanta-tarot-and-anime monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/261998f9-b94d-476e-9fae-185000a2ccac/dua+saleh+lead+image.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Dua Saleh on living in an episode of Atlanta, Tarot and Anime - Make it stand out Dua Saleh is an enigma. On set, they snap into character and leap about in service of the shot, and on a Zoom call, they appear stoic and wise, offering bouts of advice amidst generous artistic anecdotes. You might recognise them from the hit Netflix TV series Sex Education, playing free-spirited Cal, but since the finale, Saleh has quickly blossomed into a genre-bending voice to watch. Born in Sudan and raised in Minnesota, Saleh excels at merging R&B, electronic, pop, and rock into an electrifying sound all their own. Their debut album, I SHOULD CALL THEM, is a deeply personal and politically charged exploration of queer love, identity, and environmental collapse. With collaborations from Gallant, serpentwithfeet, Sid Sriram, and Ambré, the album reflects Saleh’s multifaceted artistry – equally vulnerable, bold, and raw. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-how-youtube-became-an-integral-queer-archive monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7b63130-beca-4953-9e1e-f7948813cd95/internet+queers+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: How YouTube Became an Integral Queer Archive - Make it stand out Picture this: It’s 2008, your parents finally have broadband internet and you get your very first laptop as a hand-me-down. You are alone in your bedroom and, at last, the internet is all around you. You go to YouTube and pause at the search bar. The entire history of the world is at your fingertips - what is the first thing you are going to look up? You check your firmly closed door to make sure no one is about to walk in and start to type. “Gay…” Gay what? “Gay Music Video” seems as good a place as any to start. Your heart flutters as the results load, and you catch your breath when you see hundreds of videos listed. You’ve been alone, isolated for so long, but now, you see that there is a whole world out there just waiting for you. The first gay music video I watched was called Soccer Practice, the cult song put out by almost-pop star (now turned TV host and comedian) Jonny McGovern, then known as The Gay Pimp, and it was eye opening. The video shows an American frat boy type being led through a series of homoerotic sports scenes by a hilariously 00s looking gay fairy godfather, featuring gogo boys that looked like Sean Cody models and Black trans cheerleaders that danced in six inch heels. It was a mix of comedy and genuine erotica, and it made me feel things that I'd never felt before. This was more than the snatches of porn featuring men that I’d seen before - a glimpse of a Playgirl centrefold or a Butlers In The Buff calendar - this was a whole creative project, media made by gays and for gays, and it was lifechanging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/155b914a-2d16-4fbf-90e9-e59e7ae18d5a/internet+queers+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: How YouTube Became an Integral Queer Archive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/trump-2024-woman-hatred-and-the-misguided-appropriation-of-the-4b-movement monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ab65224-58d1-4c70-a8f6-f46536a2eb1d/4b+11.png Features - Trump 2024, Woman Hatred and the Misguided Appropriation of the 4B Movement - Make it stand out Following the results of the US election, white supremacist and former dinner party guest of Donald Trump, Nick Fuentes, posted on the site formerly known as Twitter: ‘Your body, my choice. Forever.’ and received 45 million views. Fuentes was not alone in his sentiment - a pro-Trump radical Christian protest at Texas State University saw men carrying signs such as ‘Women Are Property’. The incoming Vice President, JD Vance, openly supports a national abortion ban. The Republican party, far-right misogynist influencers and the growing incel community have emboldened men to behave in violent and dangerous ways toward women and gender-non-conforming people. Young white men in particular - who overwhelmingly voted for Trump - are creating an environment which ensures women cannot feel safe or secure in their homes or have autonomy over their own bodies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/028b9eb4-bc40-459a-8286-82393d033de9/4b+1_.png Features - Trump 2024, Woman Hatred and the Misguided Appropriation of the 4B Movement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/youngmi-mayer-on-writers-block-balancing-emotions-and-finding-humour-in-sadness-in-her-new-memoir-im-laughing-because-im-crying monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81a68fab-2708-494d-a39f-4e429e9a7102/youngmi.png Features - Youngmi Mayer on Writer’s Block, Balancing Emotions and Finding Humour in Sadness in Her New Memoir, “I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying” - Make it stand out “There’s a saying in Korea: if you laugh while crying, hair grows out of your butthole. Like when we were kids usually when our parents beat our asses and we would start crying, they would tell us jokes and then we would start laughing. And then they would be like, ‘Do you know what happens when you laugh and cry at the same time? Hair grows out of your butthole.’” - Youngmi Mayer Korean-American Youngmi Mayer continues to make the internet chuckle — and sometimes sob — with her hilarious memes, TikTok impersonations and two podcasts (Feeling Asian and Hairy Butthole). To add to her achievements and provide even more infinitely readable content for her audience, Mayer has written a riveting memoir about the gamut of her experiences in “I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying”. The book explores how she’s navigated life as a mixed-Asian child in South Korea and Saipan, while growing up under challenging domestic circumstances as well as taking into account generational trauma from Korea’s colonial and wartime past. Mayer details her earlier years in San Francisco up until the present day, where she is currently a single mother working and living in New York City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c5528816-5184-4d6e-8191-34e334211666/youngmi_.png Features - Youngmi Mayer on Writer’s Block, Balancing Emotions and Finding Humour in Sadness in Her New Memoir, “I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lukita-maxwell-on-shrinking-series-two-nuanced-mental-health-representation-and-returning-to-herself monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc681305-7b64-493f-a086-06878b4e209f/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-08.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Shrinking, a poignant series on Apple TV that delves into grief, healing, and unconventional therapy, stars Jason Segel as Jimmy, a therapist grappling with personal loss. Lukita Maxwell plays Alice, Jimmy’s resilient daughter, who, despite her age, exhibits profound emotional strength and independence in the face of her mother’s death. The show breathes life into the complex narrative of loss and resilience due to its esteemed ensemble cast, including Harrison Ford, Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, and Ted McGinley. Maxwell sits down with me on video call from a leafy green garden. Her friendly aura exudes through the screen as she relaxes into her chair. She tells me to stop her if she speaks too much - though I assure her the space is hers - and of course, she is perfectly succinct. Her offerings are brilliant and rich as she speaks on the film industry, her fellow actors on Shrinking, future projects and the conscious act of returning to herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81e0aef9-a875-4e8d-976c-df113244ba4f/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-11.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Long Sleeve: DRIES VAN NOTEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/963e4843-95ee-4e7e-bb88-ee81fd875399/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-04.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out CARDIGAN: VINTAGE | TANK TOP: COTTON CITIZEN | SKIRT: BURBERRY | TIGHTS: WOLFORD | SHOES: CHANEL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1eab7187-45e9-4fc7-ab23-a33581fd3ee3/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-09.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out TOP: RAF SIMONS | UNDERWEAR: COU COU https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dbd65dc0-ba70-4e88-bf89-8c932a0aa138/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-06.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out FAUX FUR: YEEZY SEASON 5 | T SHIRT: AKIRA VINTAGE | UNDERWEAR: COU COU https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/686cece8-a584-4d71-8029-053ec9b93289/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-02.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out COAT: CAPE BALENCIAGA | TANK TOP: RICK OWENS | BOOTS: 424 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46d5a844-9e35-4727-83d3-0c567797ac66/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-01.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2da2d939-25f2-43bd-bad7-e7f60a2e5e09/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-05.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/750f5750-5149-4606-b088-7be51df5358a/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-03.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/554e027f-5799-4f87-81bc-6c50d47094c1/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-12.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Hoodie: MOMA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0c01237-4ddb-4fe1-8dbd-f472a6e45fa9/Lukita_PolyesterZine_Final-07.jpg Features - Lukita Maxwell on Shrinking Series Two, Nuanced Mental Health Representation, and Returning to Herself - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/intimate-portraits-of-black-female-bodybuilders-in-nyc monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f0e4a05-eec0-43bb-b349-1f9a9262fbde/Screenshot+2024-11-11+at+13.05.31.jpg Features - Sophia Wilson’s Intimate Portraits of Black Female Bodybuilders in NYC - Make it stand out Nicole Stauss stands on the mid-landing of a staircase in six-inch heels with a vacuum cleaner.

As pop superstar Chappell Roan’s best friend and creative director, it’s impossible to look away from her stunning stage visuals and art that have helped cement the star into camp heaven. Take the creative direction behind Roan’s SNL debut or the pink bow merch that’s made its way into quintessential Lesbian Fashion. From blending Dolly Parton with South Asian motifs to turning paper dolls into DIY art kits, Misha’s creative style is a high-energy fusion of Americana, desi nostalgia, and hands-on craft. Misha’s art isn’t about traditionally dissecting deep themes; it’s a technicolour escape that invites fans to cut, paste, and play along. I catch up with Misha Sattar, a vision in a white turtleneck, over a fuzzy Zoom call. She is warm, with an easy kind of graciousness that could charm anyone. Throughout our call, we meander through the ins and outs of her creative practice while making connections through our experiences as South Asian creatives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/387275de-ae04-488d-a7fd-d3640dd7bfcf/Screenshot+2024-11-05+at+17.27.51.png Features -

‘The Children Yearn For Technicolour’: Why Films Look Dull Now - Make it stand out From the grey-scale hellscape of superhero movies to the lifeless first look at the Freaky Friday sequel, colour and its decline in film has become a viral source of concern. Most recently, a first look at the fiercely anticipated musical adaptation Wicked provoked outcry for its greige scenes, muted costuming and “nasty, unforgivable backlight.” As one user said, “We have strayed so far from God’s light,” comparing the iconic technicolour scenes of The Wizard of Oz to its lacklustre prequel. A palpable nostalgia simmers for the pre-streamer days of movies as we grapple with the increasingly dull look of the art that has historically been such a vital source of escapism. As one user puts it: “The children yearn for technicolour”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7eb119fd-f229-4c97-85eb-ad41842fc502/3+wicked.png Features - ‘The Children Yearn For Technicolour’: Why Films Look Dull Now - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nbspa-conversation-with-eileen-myles-its-still-an-odd-decision-to-be-a-poet monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/883a177d-f2ae-4231-b238-a7605f1bd8d1/1+eileen.png Features - A Conversation with Eileen Myles: “It’s Still an Odd Decision to be a Poet” “What’s your sign?” poet and novelist Eileen Myles asks me. They’re recalling last month’s travels around Europe, which included forgetting the bag with all their belongings when boarding the flight to Mexico. Very Sagittarius of them. On the way to breakfast, Eileen brings up pictures of their dog, Honey, and shows me the book they brought along for this trip: The Lights by Ben Lerner. Eileen is pure fun. Wearing the Walmart shirt they had to buy upon arrival, they chat about discovering Peso Pluma in GQ and getting hooked on his music ever since, trying crickets in Oaxaca and picking up Pedro Páramo to read in Spanish. Taking a sip of our surprisingly good hot chocolate, we share last night’s dreams. Later that day, as part of the book tour of the Spanish edition of Chelsea Girls, Eileen will read a chapter in independent bookstore Casa Tomada and have a conversation with writer Elvira Liceaga. It will be a joyful evening; Christmas-like, even. We’ll end the night with lime soup and tacos de pibil, talking about movies and TV shows as we stroll through Parque México. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de993164-db65-49ba-a748-95817368422b/2+eileen.png Features - A Conversation with Eileen Myles: “It’s Still an Odd Decision to be a Poet” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-brian-jordan-alvarez monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f73f2dc-69d7-45b9-93c4-cf303a15d268/Brian+Jordan+Alvarez+comic.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: A Brian Jordan Alvarez Emergency - Make it stand out We are interrupting the regular biweekly Non Threatening Boys* posting schedule because there has been an emergency. Every so often a Non Threatening Boy* does something so culture-shifting that, as dedicated chroniclers of such events, we at Non Threatening Boys* by Polyester are forced to act. And so we must convene to discuss the topless elephant in the room: the Brian Jordan Alvarez Gilmore Girls TikToks. First, for context: Brian Jordan Alvarez is an actor whose TV series English Teacher – a comedy about a gay teacher at a school in Austin, Texas – recently reached streaming services. Alvarez is the creator and star of the show and also wrote and directed several episodes. He has appeared in other programmes like Jane the Virgin and the Will and Grace reboot, but also has a big side hustle in going mad viral on TikTok. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sarah-sherman-cover-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e97d393e-9eaf-4838-b6a8-3fda0ac9939b/sarah+sherman+polyester+zine+cover.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out When Sarah Sherman dials into our call, she’s sporting a yellow Gumby shirt layered under a rainbow crochet knit, topped off with a Von Dutch cap and striking bright eyeshadow. The comedian’s rugged mullet adds to the ensemble, which evokes hemp milk-master puppeteer art-school-teacher chic, rather than a celebrated comedian on America’s longest-running comedy skit show. Dubbed “clown attire,” her unique style has resulted in a coveted show invite from Susan Alexandra, earned her a coveted closet tour in The Cut, as well as an editorial with cult clothing company Fashion Brand Company. She’s a breath of fresh air at Saturday Night Live, where a body horror comedian like her has never graced the stage. Sure, we’ve seen the odd unconventional comedian like Tim Robinson or Kyle Mooney - but none brave enough to commit to the bit like Sarah has been able to. While Robinson felt like he had to tone down his voice for SNL, Sherman has risen the ranks without compromising on her strong creative vision (including the occasional pube joke). She became a “featured player” in the American skit show in October 2021, meaning she wasn’t part of the Little Leaguers anymore and was allowed to feature in skits including celebrities. She quickly advanced to “repertory player” in 2023, which made Sarah a regular part of the star-studded cast and a lead member of the ensemble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bdf5dfb5-aa01-48cb-8a0a-b312a0a5ccec/BedroomChair-207.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Coat: Saks Potts | Gloves: Moschino | Shoes: Prada https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fc3246d-a92f-4a18-80df-e0a163cb0934/BedroomChair-165.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24aeb7f1-083f-4994-8220-cadc66b2ee9e/Staircase-313.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Scarf: Dolce & Gabbana | Coat: Mary Katrantzou | Jacket: Comme Des Garcons | Bodysuit: David Koma | Boots: GCDs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6447746-eec3-4494-96ca-155a60f909d8/BathroomTub-264.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Caftan: JW Anderson | Dress: Issey Miyake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed080669-dcaf-4481-a1e1-2435c07067f3/LivingRoom-367.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Coat: Sies Marjan | Dress: Stella McCarthy | Stockings: Escada | Shoes: Casa Dei https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec6be1be-b7cb-439f-840f-0c69a353a701/Bedroom-047.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Dress: Staud | Shoes: Gianvito Rossi | Bikini: Dolce & Gabbana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21672d9d-875f-4349-b88b-11b5de77fa1f/BathroomTub-244.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54f6743d-50f7-417c-a5f5-60055d211d1c/BedroomChair-197.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67604386-0854-4ffb-9d46-76b40b59cc97/NEW+EDIT+1.jpeg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3e1457b9-2d5a-427b-974f-a2d7551b0976/Bedroom-074.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e493d1ec-21d0-40fc-8101-5927410ac438/BathroomTub-224.jpg Features - Sarah Sherman on Body Horror, Growing Up on Long Island and her SNL journey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-substance-cocktail-recipe-will-make-your-halloween-movie-marathon-major monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1730371335853-Q766MK1LQSX7X7R8FINB/ciroc+1+.jpg Features - The Substance CÎROC Cocktail Recipe Will Make Your Halloween Movie Marathon Major It’s finally Halloween!

You can wear your mind, or rather the afflictions that plague it, on your sleeve. You could place a “Hot Girls Take Lexapro” mug on your desk, throw on a Pepto pink “Anxiety University” sweatshirt, and mindlessly scroll your phone encased in the words, “I Have Anxiety”, ironically making yourself more anxious in the process. These public displays of affliction are arguably harmless, albeit cloying, and very popular. While Etsy could easily serve as your one-stop-shop for depression and anxiety ephemera, the trend toward adopting psychiatric conditions and prescription drugs as kitschy slogans has brought about what I’m calling the “Mental Health Apparel Boom” — the sudden, prolific spawning of clothing brands touting messages of mental wellness and positivity. Visually, the amalgamation of these brands is a kind of lovechild belonging to the Tumblr “sad girl” meme aesthetic of the 2010s and West Coast surfer brands, resulting in nauseatingly brightly-colored sweatshirts and tees with phrases like “It’s okay not to be okay.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc58b496-cc03-4832-a249-89b75b194d22/mental+health+1_.png Features - From Sweatshirts to Baseball Caps: Unpacking The Mental Health Apparel Boom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/make-your-own-dress-up-horror-paper-doll-with-sofire monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/422d6e40-3e6f-4dfc-ae13-c3b15f3b5734/Double+page+spread+copy.jpg Features - Make Your Own Dress-Up Horror Paper Doll with SOFIRE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/alemeda-on-being-a-cat-mother-making-the-perfect-hate-song-and-why-she-wont-stick-to-one-lane-of-music monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42fc657e-94e2-4e49-af51-65d44dd5d27e/FIRST+CHOICE+BY+ALEMEDA+080924ALEMEDA+.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Alemeda is giving me cat tips — “did you try the plug-in pheromone?”. Her cats, Mr. Cinnamon and Mr. Truffles, aren’t blood brothers but cuddle as if they had been together since the womb. My cats are more into hissing spats than Instagrammable snuggles. Mr. Cinammon is the only feline present at Polyester’s shoot as Mr. Truffles is a rescue and gets spooked easily. Cinnamon’s happy to pose and follow his mother obligingly, “I could bring him on tour and he’d be fine” she says. The 24-year-old Sudanese-Ethiopian singer is remarkably chill given that she’s just released her debut EP, FK IT, and has recently joined the likes of SZA and Kendrick Lamar on the rap label Top Dawg Entertainment. Despite massive strides in her career, she remains unfazed by the conventional celebrity way of life — she prefers to hang out with her cats and stick to her Muslim values. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/485be720-1f71-4d45-8c86-961fcb436fc2/alameda_2b.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Top: Serpenti | Shoes: Jessica Rich | Hair accessories: Frou York | Bracelet: Sterling Forever | Ring: Sterling Forever https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9b97dc3-70b3-4fa9-9fcb-03215387debc/080924ALMEDAXPOLY1388-Edit.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Dress: Self Portrait | Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Hair accessories: Frou York | Ring: Sterling Forever | Rings: Sif Jakobs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41b3e1d5-8c63-4697-ae10-d33a0a976069/080924ALMEDAXPOLY0078-Edit.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Shorts: Edikted | Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Rings: Sif Jakobs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fb9cd29-cc60-4752-b731-f2b58496a9c5/080924ALMEDAXPOLY1071.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/893fec5a-bd3f-4db0-acdd-51573790cd74/080924ALMEDAXPOLY1569-Edit.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Top: Sweet Chilling | Skirt: Sweet Chilling | Shoes: Prada | Necklace: Sif Jakobs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/47fdd0f2-7fcd-4815-b7d3-c8a55e3d2d1b/080924ALMEDAXPOLY1489-Edit.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8939172c-d84c-49a9-9d71-39e2c4c09a6b/080924ALMEDAXPOLY0121-Editbb.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/486e8b3b-7eb4-49eb-9562-60c309425161/080924ALMEDAXPOLY1337.jpg Features - Alemeda on Being a Cat Mother, Making The Perfect Hate Song and Why She Won’t Stick to One Lane of Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sister-wives-and-the-secret-lives-of-mormon-wives-queer-love-in-the-mormon-community monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/87da8b3f-446c-49e3-9e98-8aeff492ffd9/sister+wives+1_.png Features - Sister Wives and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Examining Homoeroticism in the Mormon Community - Make it stand out It’s a tale as old as time: a man marries a woman - or a Mormon man marries several - and they live happily ever after in their patriarchal, heteronormative existence. But what happens next? That’s the premise of Louisa Connolly-Burnham award-winning short film, Sister Wives. The film follows Kadence (also played by Connolly-Burnham) who lives in a strict, polygamous society, where her husband, Jeremy (Michael Fox) can marry as many women as he wants, and so he does. His second wife Galilee (Mia McKenna-Bruce) arrives, drowned in white frills, to greet her husband’s fellow wife: “Hello Sister.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/528cbfa4-526c-4c23-8cd7-0733a8cb5827/sister+wives+2_.png Features - Sister Wives and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Examining Homoeroticism in the Mormon Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dissecting-horrors-new-favourite-framework-the-birth-scene monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/03b86273-242f-49fc-8519-047cf1c3bff5/horror+1_.png Features - Dissecting Horrors New Favourite Framework: The Birth Scene - Make it stand out Critic Robin Wood once theorised that the true inspiration of the horror genre "is the struggle for recognition of all that our civilization represses or oppresses” and he was right. I realised how much of a lens horror can be into the convolutions of the female experience from an early age. I don’t know whether that came from watching Carrie, in Carrie (1976) telekinetically massacre her peers, or observing Dani, in Midsommer (2019) grin as she watched her cheating-boyfriend burn to death, but I knew there was always something I could empathise with in these murderous women. A phenomenon that I know I’m not alone in experiencing. At its core, horror is a genre centred around women. It was one of the first genres to narrativize through women, and continues to portray some of the most unnerving anxieties that come with the female experience. And, in the last year, it’s chosen to do this through one framework: the horror of childbirth . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/227f6e9b-e64e-4e47-bcfd-10af5e7cb9f9/horror+2_.png Features - Dissecting Horrors New Favourite Framework: The Birth Scene - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-levi-and-william-are-hitting-all-the-right-buttons monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b32649a6-cca7-40f7-acdf-3ad3664c0818/ntb+1_.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Levi and William are Hitting All the Right Buttons - Make it stand out If Levi Coralynn and William Conrad have ever graced your screen, it might have gone something like this: A beautiful, expectant Levi sits squarely in front of the camera, warm orange locks framing her bright eyes.

In her 2021 debut album — the raw, grunge-driven Death of a Cheerleader — she donned a cheer uniform to subvert the popular societal ideal to a figure on the fringe of society. Her sophomore album Mirror Starts Moving Without Me isn’t hinged to a single archetype, but remains fixated on the outsider. “I was thinking about the classic horror movie trope where the character is looking in the mirror, and then the mirror does something that the character doesn't do,” she explains. “It usually represents internal desire or darker ambition.” Berrin wrote Death of A Cheerleader between the ages of 17-22, navigating her youth as a queer person of colour on the outside, looking in. Now 27, she’s at a different stage in her life — reeling from the critical acclaim of Death of a Cheerleader and all the newfound attention. On the punk-pop track “Downhill” she reflects on this bittersweet comedown; "I've tried every kind of poison / but attention is the drug I can’t quit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7014ec5c-db6c-4ec2-b5f6-84d56fc74ca6/pom+pom+2_.png Features - Pom Pom Squad on the Ups and Downs of Success and Why Rage is a Core Theme of Her Sophomore Album - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-a-love-letter-to-the-higgledy-piggledy-picture-un-perfect-dinner-party monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b029d73a-d4dc-4bb6-8bdb-c2cedc8d10f0/pear+2_.png Features - Love Bite: A Love Letter to the Higgledy Piggledy, Picture Un-Perfect Dinner Party - Make it stand out As you get older, something that starts to happen more and more is this: dinner parties. People are less keen on the pub or having a big one (only a bit to be fair). Better at cooking than they were in, uni or whatever. And also maybe less slovenly, so they like showing off their gaffs a little more. It’s a very welcome development – I love it when people cook for me, and cooking for others is my favourite way to show that I care about or want to impress someone. But I will say that I also definitely don’t really relate to the popular conception of the “dinner party” via TV, movies or social media. As fun as it is, in a sort of interiors porn type of way, to see home influencers’ places decked out in gorgeous linens with matching plates fresh flowers everywhere, and about four different kinds of forks; or period dramas where there’s sexual tension across a table as long as the room, my idea of a dinner party is something a bit different. In fact, the fictional dinner party I probably relate to the most is the one in Bridget Jones where she accidentally makes blue soup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4604be36-5815-4fc6-99d9-4a63330330ba/pear+1_.png Features - Love Bite: A Love Letter to the Higgledy Piggledy, Picture Un-Perfect Dinner Party - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/bimini monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bf82285-a4dc-46ec-b369-675ef9bd7a5f/bimini+1.jpg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces It’s been long understood that being a star due to RuPaul’s Drag Race doesn’t come only from winning the show or one of its many worldwide franchises. In many cases, the most successful queens to find global success from the reality competition haven’t even made it to the finale. It’s been nine years since RuPaul alluded to this herself in the season finale of the seventh iteration of the American series, calling contestant Katya Zamolodchikova - fifth runner up of the show - onto the stage during the finale episode to do a fake out of her winning the crown. The point of RuPaul’s joke rang clear: you don’t even have to rank highly in Drag Race to succeed on the back of it. Six years later, Bimini Bon Boulash would tread similar ground to her blonde predecessor. Her performances, outfits and cutaways of casual charisma on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK would be considered cult classics seconds after they aired on the BBC. In the three years since, the singer, model, performer and podcaster would use the platform granted to them by the British iteration of the competition show to drop the Bon Boulash and take the media - social, digital and otherwise - by storm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b5b9359-b235-45dd-ac52-3621d3f1969f/Shot_04_102.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbed9e3a-4139-46d5-ad27-af0a1a671853/Shot_01_107.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af03dc4d-c28c-4165-8b43-ea2f53a6685c/Shot_01_039.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/80faae58-e71d-4e95-930e-465c336a1732/Shot_02_179.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fab8db2d-8350-4395-ba4e-812aee590bdc/Shot_03_225.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db5b069c-5c9a-454d-8991-4725a78fd265/Shot_03_152.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8d896191-6b55-4faa-8a71-3fe759ec5c3e/bimini+3.jpg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/867ca5e9-f5cd-4ba6-9cd4-187a519489aa/Shot_04_115.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ada50598-7550-403a-8d35-c0c2278b8995/Shot_01_043.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/90ca01d2-0aa4-4056-a765-ea0d413b6b1c/Shot_03_204.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdda1628-7c8f-480b-a4cc-529d28895acd/bimini+3a.jpg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8549c620-6593-4ce1-83ff-a9a99870dd1f/Shot_02_150.jpeg Features - Bimini on Being Politically Active, British Glamour and Their New Podcast, The Pieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-is-blind-authentic-connection-and-how-clout-chaser-became-the-worst-accusation-on-reality-tv monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b5ead6ff-9ec9-47fe-883d-db4a9b9c1da5/1.png Features - Love Is Blind, Authentic Connection and How “Clout Chaser” Became the Worst Accusation on Reality TV - Make it stand out When Trevor, a former contestant on Love is Blind — a show where participants get engaged without seeing each other — was exposed for having a secret girlfriend during the experiment, it did not go down well. During the reunion, Trevor sat with other contestants as host Nick Lachey called him out in front of a live audience. "We don’t want people coming here motivated by fame, that’s not what this is about," Lachey lectured to Trevor on the unfairness to both viewers and participants, before adding, "When people come here with ulterior motives, we have to call them out. Trevor, you can go now, man." Publicly humiliated, Trevor exited the stage, becoming the emblem of what is most unacceptable on dating shows: not being there for the right reasons. Reality TV is a paradox, everyone — producers, contestants, and audience — understand that it is fully manufactured television. Yet, in Netflix's dating universe of madness, authenticity remains the tacit contract between stars and viewers. In other words, participants are expected to be on a quest for a pure love; yearning for a soulmate, not Instagram followers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/47dd8c11-54d3-4de9-8154-e9ac6df074c1/2.png Features - Love Is Blind, Authentic Connection and How “Clout Chaser” Became the Worst Accusation on Reality TV - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-white-pube-on-poor-artists-verbalising-the-creative-impulse-and-possible-utopias monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f40be3f-4e48-486c-bf0a-d1a1cf295b67/Scan+27.jpeg Features - The White Pube on Poor Artists, Verbalising the Creative Impulse and Possible Utopias - Make it stand out I am not embarrassed to say that I approached Poor Artists, the new and first book by art critic duo The White Pube, made up of Zarina Muhammad and Gabrielle de la Puente, with trepidation. I was worried that I may be getting stuck into a text too involved in a world that I am not personally involved in. Of course I know most artists have a crap time. The Young British Artists? Heard of them. But outside of the accrued knowledge of the occasional gallery visit, article read and podcast listen, I’m far from well versed on the goings on of the art world. Of course, this intimidation came entirely from within my own head. I’ve loved the writing of The White Pube for years; writing that has been pointedly accessible the entire time. Poor Artists begins, middles and ends with piles of prose, references and direct quotes that discuss art’s wider influence on us all, alongside the nitty gritty grot of ‘The Industry’, in language that is easy to understand and emotions that all of us can empathise with. It lets you pause for thought between chapters with detailed lists of artworks that help you parse the information you’ve just read. I’d hate to give anything more away other than to fully, thoroughly recommend you pick up a copy and comb through it cover to cover - only after reading our interview with The White Pube pair below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/29e82ece-1d07-438e-a10c-a9ba0d04c1a3/033940570005.jpg Features - The White Pube on Poor Artists, Verbalising the Creative Impulse and Possible Utopias - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/01e9882c-b1fb-4928-8f2e-bc395fda05f9/033940570038.jpg Features - The White Pube on Poor Artists, Verbalising the Creative Impulse and Possible Utopias - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/charley-marlowe-on-i-kissed-a-girl-british-camp-and-her-dream-brunch-programming monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/adead87c-4e23-4b08-8a2b-327cb2704ceb/cm9.jpg Features - Charley Marlowe on I Kissed A Girl, British Camp, and Her Dream Brunch Programming - Make it stand out My phone is full of people trying to make me laugh. I open Instagram Reels or TikTok and there they all are, telling jokes and performing skits and doing impressions. I could probably watch these people incessantly for the next year, however, without finding a single one of them as charming, as clever, or as downright fucking funny as Charley Marlowe. The 24-year-old from Liverpool – now a bonafide red carpet interviewer, and narrator of BBC reality shows (proudly gay, she’s the voice of I Kissed a Girl) – started making TikToks while she was studying at uni and working long hours in TV production. The slog ultimately got too much, but as she was deciding to take a step away from life behind the cameras, a new role in front of them started to take shape. She was offered presenting gigs off the back of her uproariously good videos, where she’d spoof daytime TV or just tell stories about her life; hilarious not really because of what she said, but because it was her saying it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33ac1851-39b9-4cb6-8c61-545d1d71597b/cm6.jpg Features -

Film Fatale: Where Are All the Clown Girl Films? - Make it stand out There is no one that understands the clown more than a funny woman. Once looking past the nose-honking, tiny car and squeaky shoes, there is a tragedy to the clown that the quick witted woman can appreciate: The highs and lows of being a spectacle, the contemplation of whether they are laughing at you or with you, and having your makeup drip off in the rain during your 5 minute cigarette break. With Halloween imminent, for many it is clown season. Once again forced to wonder: Are you a Pierrot girl, with a pyjama-like outfit and a little pointy hat? Are you a more traditional Harley Quinn leaning into sex appeal and the fantasies of your gamer boyfriend? Or are you another type completely, merging your personal style with the signifiers of the clown, a few steps away from copyrighting your look at the Clown Egg Register? I’m still unsure what clown I am, but I do know that wearing oversized clothing and having any sort of jesters privilege in the name of your job sounds pretty grand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a79566a3-61a1-463f-92b1-b416cfdf857a/clown22.png Features - Film Fatale: Where Are All the Clown Girl Films? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/digital-remains-techno-spiritualism-ai-seances-and-the-evolution-of-mourning-in-the-virtual-age monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8139645-2b25-4e4d-a8d5-d68cd365ca6b/site+1.png Features - Digital Remains: Techno Spiritualism, AI Seances and The Evolution of Mourning in the Virtual Age - Make it stand out The boundaries between life and death, once firmly delineated by spiritual and religious beliefs, are now increasingly blurred by digital technologies. AI-driven algorithms, virtual reality environments, ghost-hunting apps and even the way our technological devices store our data, create deeper ontological and epistemological changes, reshaping how we conceptualise death, the afterlife, and our connection to the unseen. The world of AI-driven séances, with apps like Seance AI or Replica, use chat GPT to mimic the voices, personas or even bodies with holographic simulations, of deceased individuals to simulate interactions with the dead. While intended as a sentimental offering, even the curation of the deceased’s speech to fit contemporary needs and desires, complicates notions of grief, memory, and authenticity underscoring the tension between genuine mourning. In 2020, Kanye West famously gave Kim Kardashian a hologram of her late father, Robert Kardashian, exemplifying not only the unsettling power of digital resurrection but raising several ethical dilemmas about the nature of sentience, existence and death – it becomes unclear who the holograph is, if it is Kanye West’s countertransference, the spirit of the late Rob Kardashain or someone else entirely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e992ff3-ac47-43eb-bb4e-29ba70af32f3/Screenshot+2024-10-14+at+13.50.10.png Features - Digital Remains: Techno Spiritualism, AI Seances and The Evolution of Mourning in the Virtual Age - Make it stand out [Left: Max King, Right: Sophie Calle] https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/girlhood-lore-the-exhibition-exploring-the-art-behind-the-bows monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/084032dd-f204-4885-82af-9f6d04b75ecd/1385768.jpg Features - Girlhood Lore: The Exhibition Exploring the Art Behind the Bows - Make it stand out If 2023 was dubbed “The Year of the Girl”, 2024 proves that girlhood remains as relevant as ever. Even with another sad-girl autumn fast approaching, it’s clear we’re not quite ready to pack away our ribbons and ruffles. Yet if to make something more appealing, you just have to put a bow on it, the ever-growing wave of girl-centric trends has blurred the lines of defining what girlhood really means. Contrary to marketing's wishful thinking, girlhood isn’t a monolith. Even in fashion, where trends are most codified, not all bows are created equal. From Simone Rocha to Sandy Liang, from Selkie to Rodarte and Alessandro Michele’s recent and already iconic Valentino collection, feminine and “girly” aesthetics have taken different forms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ae7a01a-dec3-4ca8-8465-874d53859852/1385785.jpg Features - Girlhood Lore: The Exhibition Exploring the Art Behind the Bows - Make it stand out Lucia Jost, “Karla and Maya” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7645381a-f81e-4225-8224-477a7aa7126e/1385801.jpeg Features - Girlhood Lore: The Exhibition Exploring the Art Behind the Bows - Make it stand out DaddyBears, "Surrounded By Angels" https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-partial-credit-for-jason-and-brett-from-selling-sunset monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7d25871e-5bac-41d3-b0e9-aabe371a709f/WhatsApp+Image+2024-10-02+at+17.10.33.jpeg Features - Non-Threatening Boys* Partial credit for Jason and Brett from Selling Sunset - Make it stand out Selling Sunset from the jump meant more to me than it was supposed to. I think I came upon it during a break-up, a time when I was primed to let these plastic, hyperreal characters wash over me like protagonists in great literature. I saw it like an opera or a Greek tragedy (Chrishell a kind of Antigone because she is orphaned, and comes from nothing with everything to prove; she is made of only starshine). But as the years roll along she grows stronger, and her archetype hardens into more of a Medea maybe. I rooted for other girls, too: Bre, because she is fiery with a bit of Athena in her; Amanza, because she’s a tragic heroine (a la Electra in mythology or Mimi in the opera La Boheme) balancing a basketball player baby-daddy who mysteriously went missing, with an elusive near-death experience. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/el-hardwick-is-embracing-imperfection monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f681a650-cf4c-4c11-80ba-1cd62ac7ab84/240308000000010015_edit.jpg Features - El Hardwick is Embracing Imperfection in their Sophomore Album ‘Process Of Elimination’ - Make it stand out When creating their sophomore album, Process of Elimination, interdisciplinary artist El Hardwick abandoned orthodoxy in favour of embracing the imperfect and it shows, right down to the album art. “My dad sent me the cover - he told me it was a watercolour piece he’d been working on and I thought it was amazing and so experimental,” El smiles. “Then he told me he was kidding and it was actually a photo of the rotting lino flooring in the shed and that felt like the perfect visual representation of what this album is all about.” Following a genre-blending, electronic debut which examined how disembodiment becomes the only reprieve from a world ravaged by climate change, for their newest project, Hardwick turns inwards, focusing on the corporeal and examining what it means to truly embrace fluidity. Inspired by the artist’s journey with navigating chronic illness and understanding their transness, Process of Elimination. Offers an ambient soundscape designed to zoom into individual, bodily experience and explore how the relationships we cultivate with our bodies can become tools of resistance in the face of wider, global crises. Below, El unpacks their journey with gender and illness, becoming rewilded from a capitalist definition of productivity and how turning towards a radical acceptance of imperfect spontaneity has become central to their creative practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92f2ed3f-6eca-4615-a193-20f99bc7d1ab/Screenshot+2024-09-24+at+14.05.46.png Features - El Hardwick is Embracing Imperfection in their Sophomore Album ‘Process Of Elimination’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f579b75a-8333-4277-a535-469c81bb4b4e/240308000000010019_edit.jpg Features - El Hardwick is Embracing Imperfection in their Sophomore Album ‘Process Of Elimination’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/on-digital-voyeurism-relationship-breakups-and-the-lost-art-of-goodbye monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fcc9f728-d67d-4b73-92ea-28b9134926f8/googbyes+2_.png Features - On Digital Voyeurism, Relationship Breakups and the Lost Art of Goodbye - Make it stand out So you and your partner (or situationship) just broke up, and now you’re listening to Fade Into You by Mazzy Star while you stalk their Instagram because you’re a masochist. You’ve sworn to your friends that it’s over this time but when they ask “Why haven’t you blocked them?” the cognitive dissonance dulls all better judgment and you reply with “We’re just fRiEnDs”… The truth is, you’re just too afraid to say goodbye. There’s a clip from the film Joe Black (1998) in circulation on Instagram and TikTok where the main characters walk away from one another on a busy city sidewalk. Each of them looks back once more, then never again. The clip's caption reads something like, Taking one good last look because I know I’m never going back again. This is what’s missing from our world and it’s something we secretly yearn for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/53c0f586-d3da-4b19-a34c-c39b5b1cf232/goodbyes+1_.png Features - On Digital Voyeurism, Relationship Breakups and the Lost Art of Goodbye - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-an-ode-to-maggie-smith-the-actress-who-was-so-much-more-than-a-harry-potter-character monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f55afc42-a2df-4ed0-8918-b9bc0cc4306b/maggie+smith+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Maggie Smith, the Actress Who Was So Much More than a Harry Potter Character - Make it stand out The noise of the internet buzzes incessantly, but every so often the funeral bells cut through and everyone pauses to memorialise the death of a beloved celebrity. Dame Maggie Smith died at the end of September and every generation mourned the woman who defined English acting for over sixty years. Celebrity deaths can be deeply personal, or totally irrelevant, it all depends on how much you invested in them as a person, how connected they were to your memories, dreams, hopes, if they were a figure you admired or were inspired by. The first celebrity deaths that made an impact on me was Eartha Kitt in 2008, and Elizabeth Taylor in 2011. Both had been present in the pop culture of my youth (generally, and also in the tastes of my family specifically), both were very singular women who defied authority and became institutions in their own rights, both were the very best at creating electrifying performances of their unique personas, and both inspired me to live in my own truths. The same can be said of Maggie Smith. This week, an outpouring of love flows for Maggie, and it is easy to see how many childhoods she played a powerful part in, and how many people will miss her, despite never having known her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1eaca85c-443f-4dce-b8cd-a31e9d8c7442/maggie+smith+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Maggie Smith, the Actress Who Was So Much More than a Harry Potter Character - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/share-this-to-ten-people-or-be-cursed-foreverhow-chain-mail-took-over-tiktok monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b28782d-c64f-4d19-b54d-7f3fbf3feb4c/chainmail+1_.png Features - Share This To Ten People Or Be Cursed Forever:How Chain Mail Took Over TikTok - Make it stand out The idea of the chain email – or chain mail – is a firmly 2000s phenomenon in our cultural memories. Every millennial will remember them: "WARNING! This is not a joke!” – it would be written in red Comic Sans, all caps – “Carry on reading or you’ll die/never find love/fall off a high bridge somewhere”. Unless, of course, you forwarded it on. Like much of the early Internet, this was very camp. The emails would often contain elaborate horror stories with characters called things like “Little Johnny” and bells chiming at midnight. The threat would be aggravated with a row of pixelated dagger emoticons, or the image of a skull formed from punctuation marks. The online world was in its adolescence and this was its awkward phase: Angst-ridden MSN statuses in glittery text, gaudy duo-toned photo edits, I can has cheezburger cat, Tumblr accounts. These overly-sinister death threats landing in our bubblegum-pink Hotmail inboxes were just part of the growing pains of the internet’s puberty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4740791d-3b8b-4591-8600-fa5f0347da70/chainmail+2_.png Features - Share This To Ten People Or Be Cursed Forever:How Chain Mail Took Over TikTok - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/searching-for-ourselves-in-our-possessions-a-chat-with-the-girls-carrying-shit-instagram monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba431102-7b04-4923-9cf9-d8daa73929c3/gcs+1_.png Features - Searching for Ourselves in Our Possessions: A Chat with the @GirlsCarryingShit Instagram - Make it stand out The Instagram account Girls Carrying Shit claims a simple concept, straightforwardly articulated in the account biography: "after thousands of years without pockets, non-men have evolved a superior grip to carry their shit". The page is a scrapbook of girlies holding everything from the mundane ("headphones, wallet, lighter, cigarette, vape") to the more bizarre ("unidentified cube found on the side of the road"), often precariously wedged between multiple fingers and sometimes haphazardly crammed into various pockets. 27-year-old Halle Robbe started the account in July 2021 whilst battling burnout as a social media and influencer marketing director. On a bagless, delirious caffeine run, she posted an Instagram story featuring her own hand clutching Airpods, keys, wallet, captioned something along the lines of "the result of thousands of years of evolution". The idea began "small, just me and my group of friends", she says. "I would go out and make people empty their purses and hold their shit. As it grew, I started getting submissions from other people. And here we are". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bcfe02b8-5110-46aa-be4e-523feb1e9e4e/gcs+2_.png Features - Searching for Ourselves in Our Possessions: A Chat with the @GirlsCarryingShit Instagram - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cosy-gaming-infantilising-or-anti-capitalist monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3dba2a6d-81ee-4b26-99ce-bd62491f9e16/cosy+gaming+2_.png Features - Cosy Gaming: Infantilising Or Anti-Capitalist? - Make it stand out Cosy gamer girl is the digital sister of the literary girl aesthetic. She’s a modern day Jane Austen, if Jane had a Nintendo Switch. In the same way that the lit girl lights her candles and spends hours reading by her window, the cosy gamer boots up her PC and turns on her mushroom desk lamp, removing the ladder from her Sim’s swimming pool. Cosy gaming is exactly what you think it would be. It’s any video game that is low stress, low stakes game and usually involves - but is not limited to - a range of farm, home and community related tasks that the player completes in order to progress the game. Set to calming, instrumental soundtracks, these cosy games sometimes explore complex themes, while other times it’s the regular commitment to completing in-game tasks that brings players in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c6d3a03-ab89-454f-b7f5-2342898e89c2/cosy+gaming+1_.png Features - Cosy Gaming: Infantilising Or Anti-Capitalist? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-dinner-in-america-weird-girl-representation-and-loser-core monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8775e6c7-70ba-4840-bb85-9a91abb06212/weird+gal+1.png Features - Film Fatale: Dinner in America, Weird Girl Representation and Loser-Core - Make it stand out During my nightly evening TikTok scroll between videos of a pointing orangutan, Becki Jones and co. on their gifted cruise and Reddit scary stories, the algorithm has been feeding me Dinner in America (2020). If you are not on the same side of the internet as me or you are not well versed in indie movies of the last five years, Dinner in America is an indie comedy directed by Adam Rehmeier starring Emily Skeggs and Kyle Gallner. The story follows antisocial punk singer Simon (Gallner) and outcast Patty (Skeggs) as an unlikely but heartwarming relationship blossoms over multiple criminal situations and family dinners. The girls of TikTok are, of course, loving this. The film has an original song written by the two main characters called Watermelon that sounds like it could be by The Pastels, with the playful lyrics taken from one of Patty’s love letters to Simon: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef028030-3303-448a-b52a-6314ead38fc8/weird+gal+2_.png Features - Film Fatale: Dinner in America, Weird Girl Representation and Loser-Core - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/catherine-cohen-on-sabrina-carpenter-the-edinburgh-fringe-and-playing-shepherds-bush-empire monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f2272dba-55e7-4b34-80dc-381d0b6f39a7/CAL_CATCOHEN_FINAL_7.jpg Features - Cat Cohen on Sabrina Carpenter, the Edinburgh Fringe, and playing Shepherd’s Bush Empire. - Make it stand out Cat Cohen kind of changed everything. Since her emergence in stand-up comedy at the end of the last decade, over time the 33-year-old comic has essentially become responsible for a comedic style – highly feminised, silly to the point of delusion, and simultaneously acutely self-aware – that has informed an entire cadre of performers, that includes Rachel Sennott and Meg Stalter among its ranks. Falling somewhere between an Old Hollywood dame and the most highly-strung woman in any given branch of Starbucks, Cohen is both critically lauded – she won the coveted Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019, and the Netflix special version of her show The Twist? She’s Gorgeous, released in 2022, garnered excellent reviews – and rabidly adored by fans of her stand-up and weekly podcast Seek Treatment, which she hosts with the comedian and writer (most recently of Hacks) Pat Regan. Right now, however, she’s anticipating the release of her second special, titled Come For Me, on the streaming service Veeps. This is a show that Cohen has toured for two years, and for her, represents the pinnacle of her stand-up career so far. The Veeps release will be its final hurrah, as Cohen has now finished the tour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/09b0f87b-2afd-470f-b952-2b642324a18b/Screenshot+2024-10-01+at+16.35.39.png Features -

Wisp on ‘Your Face’, Silent Hill and Her Favourite Reddit Threads - Make it stand out The tent stage is always a decisive one at a festival that takes place in the summer months. If it’s a British festival - as All Points East is, taking place in London over a series of weekends in August - it might be a shelter from the rain. If the weather holds out, it’s a respite from the sun’s rays. Regardless of the weather, it’s a safe space to sit down, stretch your legs and enjoy whoever is playing in a more settled state of being. The perfect setting for enjoying a bit of shoegaze, like the signature sounds of San Francisco export Natalie Lu, better known as Wisp. As we sat, and then stood, and then inched closer to her set at the festival’s Sunday offering, the audience was enraptured by the echoing lyrics and obscured vocals of hits like Your Face and lesser known tracks like Luna. Legions of teens stormed from across the site’s grounds to get under the tent’s shelter and sway to the sweet stylings of Wisp. While not much of Lu’s charm comes from the mystery she has cultivated between her songwriting and social media presence, we grabbed a quick conversation with the musician backstage at this year’s All Points East to talk all things Reddit, Silent Hill and performing live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/407028da-f649-4e4e-b5b9-ff4434be05e5/APE_DAY+3_WISP_%40BETHANMILLERCO-10.jpg Features - Wisp on ‘Your Face’, Silent Hill and Her Favourite Reddit Threads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-jemima-kirke-became-the-oracle-for-chronically-online-girlies monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31271299-4fba-4282-aa2f-37fbf5ec83ad/jemima+1_.png Features - How Jemima Kirke Became The Oracle For Chronically Online Girlies - Make it stand out For decades many have outsourced their problems to traditional agony aunt magazine columns, but recently a singular confidant and sage mentor has emerged: Girls actress Jemima Kirke, who gifts both cutting and tender directives via Q&A sessions on her Instagram stories. As she delivers hard truths, reality checks, bon mots, and style advice, she enlightens and entertains an engaged online audience of young women with the striking clarity of her worldview. Crucially, her instructions, opinions, and reflections on womanhood and relationships are not platitudinal, not bull-shitting; sometimes humorous, sometimes amusingly indifferent (Q: "Are you queer?" A: "What the hell, sure") or flatly judgemental (Q: "Am I a loser for being 20 and not having a boyfriend ever????" A: "I'm afraid so"). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f629e5fe-34d0-40c6-92ca-336b7a0f59f1/jemima+2.png Features - How Jemima Kirke Became The Oracle For Chronically Online Girlies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rats-pigeons-and-pests-what-does-the-internets-affinity-for-vermin-mean monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef57775d-fce2-4f88-9dd9-8a5ae557128a/vermin+1_.png Features - Rats, Pigeons and Pests: What Does the Internet’s Affinity for Vermin Mean? - Make it stand out I open my Instagram Explore page and see a photo of a rodent with Ratz emblazoned over it in the Bratz doll font, complete with a pink angel halo. It leads me to the official Bratz account, where they advertise their latest doll featuring a pet rat on a leash. Later, on my Explore page, I stumble across a rodent version of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. I scroll further, and there’s a possum on a skateboard, “Capitalism will kill us all, gender is fake, eat garbage, be free,” it tells me. Meme mainstays, including Stuart Little and Ratatouille, clog my algorithm like rats in a storm drain while grime-led trends — Goblin Mode, Feral Girl Summer, Slobcore, Indie Sleaze and Dirtbag Aesthetic — swarm my feed. Artisans are creating accessories and wearable art with pests and creepy crawlies as the main attraction. Meanwhile, publications inform me that I want a Hot Rodent Boyfriend, and if not, maybe a Frog Boy is more my type. There’s only one thing I can make of all this: We just had our first Pest Summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46898b0b-1d7a-45d2-9242-6cb60b337ca6/vermin+2.png Features - Rats, Pigeons and Pests: What Does the Internet’s Affinity for Vermin Mean? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-emily-in-paris-and-its-dawn-of-the-man-wars monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/75990d5d-4fe5-4ab3-bf28-cabbcb4147a5/1.png Features - Non Threatening Boys* : Emily in Paris and its Dawn of the Man Wars - Make it stand out The second part of the fourth season of Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” has landed. For those blissfully unaware, it follows ambitious American Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) as she navigates PR hijinks at work and romantic woes in the French capital. It’s perfect glossy entertainment to switch your brain off to – though it is a bit of a Bechdel failure, to put it mildly. The men in Emily’s orbit are inextricable from her story, either as colleague, client or love interest. And for a show that is entrenched in the world of luxury goods, high fashion and French fine dining, it’s really the menu of men that seems to be its primary plot vehicle. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sinead-odwyers monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c3f349b-108d-42e8-96d0-80841e1b6b10/Screenshot+2024-09-25+at+12.26.52.png Features - Sinéad O’Dwyer and Sharna Osborne’s Fashion Week Collab is a Sticky Halcyon Dream - Make it stand oIut Irish designer and Polyester fave Sinead O’Dwyer is immortalising our summer memories in a brand new series of experimental fashion films directed by Sharna Osbourne, titled Everything Opens To Touch. Sharna’s thoughtful lens paints a vivid picture of emotional intensity - from the conception of a crush, to the hunger of intimacy to the backdrop of an endless wet, hot, summer. With a central theme of memory, the mis-match collage effect is accompanied with poetry by author Anastasiia Fedorova. The film itself is set in Copenhagen, where Sinead showed her work in 2024 for the first time. The films highlight, alongside the sticky sense of summer, the S/S 25 collection’s playful puff dresses, new denim pieces and signature silhouettes. It evokes feelings of youth, torn between teenaged boredom and a lust for life. Watch the four short films as presented by Polyester and read our interview with Sinead below. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ruby-rare-on-deconstructing-the-shame-of-sex-threesomes-and-lost-village-festival monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04c3c481-e284-47f6-bf63-33c6b4456b10/2.png Features - Ruby Rare on Deconstructing the Shame of Sex, Threesomes and Lost Village Festival - Make it stand out r Every August my friends would return from an expedition to Lincolnshire to show off their disposable camera pictures that were Instagram grid worthy, inside jokes they made on the dancefloor and radiating joy whilst describing a live set from their favourite DJ. They would inform me of their new friend group as they had made friends with the strangers who set up camp next to them who just so happened to be the ‘coolest’ and ‘chilliest’ people ever. But this year I no longer had to sit in silent jealousy at home, as I was able to have my first Lost Village expedition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b314128e-84a5-4dcc-99c2-4063a8caa974/1.png Features - Ruby Rare on Deconstructing the Shame of Sex, Threesomes and Lost Village Festival - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/aoife-cullen-is-the-internets-favourite-makeup-artist monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07b8096c-59ff-455b-a21f-0c4b7d4b42c2/_DSF1061-2.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out When she was twenty, Aoife Cullen had just started her first job at a makeup counter. On her second day on the job, sporting full glam, including Fanta coloured foundation and audacious winged liner, she was sat down on the makeup chair and told, “You can’t wear your makeup like this”. “Looking back,” she laughs, “It was bad. It was baaad”. Now, Aoife Cullen, known online as Aoife Artist, wears her makeup however she wants, thank you very much. Aoife’s dalliance with cosmetics started in a very normal way; she saw other girls wearing makeup at her school, so she knew it was time for her to. A trip to the shops and buying a selection of cheap, nondescript products was the literal gateway, but things changed for her when she started exploring editorial looks, on runways, in magazines, online. “I was like wow- that is just so not what i was taught to think makeup is”. YouTube and Tumblr were digital pools of inspiration, and she realised being a makeup artist could be an actual, tangible, full time job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e87708fe-a44f-4bca-a8db-916da9c18484/_DSF0527.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81a8d274-22c4-4e68-bc39-7e6eb6016362/_DSF0839-2-2.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34efaf6a-e3b8-40eb-b137-68a4403dbf89/_DSF0763-2.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a110ca7b-7d66-4772-b011-7945ea76dd93/0008593-R1-09-10.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eddfec98-dd9b-4bca-a77e-5b04c6f5b181/0008593-R1-29-30-2.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b040129-d837-4a64-a36d-a708afc0855d/0008593-R1-24-25.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a6693da-3db4-40e6-900b-31e85bd00ff3/_DSF0690.jpeg Features - Aoife Cullen is the Internet’s Favourite Makeup Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/aliyahs-interlude-cover-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/497397f9-44f1-4e18-9091-11eb0f9d5960/aliyah%27s+interlude+polyester+zine+cover+final.jpg Features - Aliyah’s Interlude on Personal Style, TikTok Strategy and #AliyahCore - Make it stand out “I’m sorry, I hope you’re not disappointed with my outfit today,” Aliyah Bah tells me when our Zoom call connects. “I didn’t bring too many clothes with me here!” For almost anyone else, getting glammed up for a Friday afternoon interview might not warrant an apology. But for the 21-year-old Georgia native, fashion has never been merely incidental – it has become a metonym for her brand. Over the last few years, for anyone in possession of a TikTok account, it has been impossible to escape the mesmerising sartorial world of #AliyahCore. It started during the 2020 Covid lockdown, when Bah was in her freshman year at Georgia State University. Living at home and taking classes online, she started documenting her outfits on TikTok under the soubriquet Aliyah’s Interlude, inviting viewers to get ready with her, and showing off her addictive personality. The content was fresh and, crucially, the fits were fire – each video brought a new maximalist, pink look inspired by Harajuku and Y2K culture, replete with earmuffs, furry boots, bikini tops, miniskirts, leg warmers and fishnets. Since then, her star has grown exponentially, with a barnstorming foray into the music industry led by her viral 2023 single IT GIRL, and her latest hit Moodboard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae545fa4-4bce-42a7-acca-aad4ebc1e1a0/000270440004+%281%29.jpg Features -

Digital Bodies, Capitalism and Arca: An Interview with Filip Custic - Make it stand out Wearing a T-shirt from her own merch, Arca attempts to click a selfie on her phone, with stickers of herself pasted all over her body. A second Arca hugs a pillow printed with her face, as she looks straight at the camera – a keyring hangs from her navel, of course containing a print of her visage. A third and fourth Arca are caught in between creating content for their socials, surrounded by memorabilia of themselves, like her Vogue Mexico and i-D covers, collectible cards, phones with wallpapers featuring her. This reproduction and proliferation of Arcas were photographed and digitally collaged by the Spanish-Croatian artist Filip Custic and is on view at Museo Cerralbo in collaboration with Photo Espana and Coleccion Solo. Custic investigates consumerism, questions of identity through our interactions online and our performativity within such spaces, through multimedia installations and performances. This work with Arca is one amidst other, albeit more commercial, collaborations with music artists like Lil Nas X and Rosalia. “I’ve known Arca for seven years,” he said, “We always wanted to collaborate – last Christmas she came to Madrid, and we decided to shoot.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8dde1e5a-76bc-4c15-8602-46c6a5f40213/Copia+de+DSCF8523-copia.jpg Features - Digital Bodies, Capitalism and Arca: An Interview with Filip Custic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/joan-of-arc-the-patron-saint-of-gen-z monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c71efebb-46ff-49e5-a4b5-8622cf5dc4dc/joan+of+arc.+collage+1_.png Features - Joan of Arc: The Patron Saint of Gen Z - Make it stand out A teenage girl in boys' clothing; a fifteenth-century Christian martyr; Zendaya wearing Versace chain-mail at the 2018 Met Gala. An androgynous icon: Chloe Sevigny holding a Walkman on your teenage Tumblr feed, or Fiona Apple photographed by Mcnally. In 1999, she was Milla Jovovich with a fuck-ass bob and ruddy cheeks. Videos discussing her life under the hashtags “history” and “mental health” appear on TikTok. Sad girls cry while thinking about her death. Now Baz Luhrmann has announced he’s set to direct a biopic of her life, and her status as the romantic heroine of popular culture is set in stone. Resplendent in armour, wielding the sword of mutability, Joan of Arc is the patron saint of generation Z. Morbidity, so often dismissed as the domain of the gothic, is at the forefront of our celebrity culture. We are obsessed with the youthful martyr. As Charlie Fox describes in This Young Monster, celebrities must “live fast, die young, and make a pretty corpse” to achieve immortality. Born during the hundred years' war between England and France, at thirteen, Joan of Arc began to have visions. These were interpreted as a sign from God, although to quote Cecilia Lisbon: “Obviously, Doctor, you’ve never been a 13-year-old girl”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c05cba18-3bb3-4596-85d3-9ca8d26052fb/joan+of+arc+collage+2_.png Features - Joan of Arc: The Patron Saint of Gen Z - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ashley-smith-on-magic-the-gathering-indie-sleaze-and-independent-movie-making monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6b152864-d0be-492c-9628-52939c517e8c/lll-75.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out It would be hard to not be entranced by Ashley Smith, she enters rooms looking like the most glamorous creature to walk the earth and within minutes has you grinning back at her signature smile as she earnestly fills you in on her morning. There’s a dual sweetness and silliness that is unexpected in a woman who has been in “the industry” for so long, but it’s arguable that’s what has given Ashley so much longevity - as well as being drop dead gorgeous, she’s incredibly likeable. Growing up in a thrifty family in Texas gave Ashley the tenacity to aim for her dreams as soon as she was able to; leaving her hometown to pursue modelling in New York just three days after graduating from high school. From there, her career has seen her plastered on the pages of Vogue and Playboy, walking for Balenciaga and Chanel and becoming a favourite of the infamous Ellen Von Unwerth. Ashley is the definition of multihyphenate though and while she still models on occasion - as seen in our editorial below - her work as an actress and musician (sharing the stage with Dani Miller in their band Trashwold) has received accolade after accolade from the underground scenes where she finds the most gratification. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35ed3226-dced-462e-a0eb-4dd9f942f968/lll-70.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3a8aaf62-4ed0-43a0-984d-f99388078c27/lll-68.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14ddf61c-d174-44e6-8034-ce7302516107/lll-77.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/50d90688-e15c-4b33-a57d-2b286b3e13f7/lll-74.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2cb06586-1061-42ad-898b-f11814344cf9/lll-69.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc95577d-215a-4f50-8f96-76b930db6997/lll-66.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3a1354a2-7684-4435-a0ea-605d8acb2bb9/lll-71.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7862afee-0aec-47d5-ae92-76958c04bb34/lll-65.jpeg Features - Ashley Smith on Magic: The Gathering, Indie Sleaze and Independent Movie Making - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-its-soup-season-baby monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a791627-728a-45ca-8b19-307837cd5a31/soup+1.png Features - Love Bite: Soup Season and Changing Relationships with Eating - Make it stand out Content note: disordered eating September is here which means that one of the best bits of the whole year is just around the corner: soup season.

He was, she writes, “a kind of angel of revelation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56f91e21-abf4-43cb-8f19-303e92d8c6db/babygirl+1_.png Features - The Cougar Complex - On Halina Reijn’s Babygirl, MILFs and Power Imbalances - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/is-art-angels-by-grimes-making-women-shave-their-heads-deconstructing-the-reddit-conspiracy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6a241fa3-fd9d-41a9-9396-d29f173ebb05/grimes+1_.png Features - Is Art Angels by Grimes Making Women Shave Their Heads?

While this might seem like a huge win for women’s health technology, the fact that the app was founded, developed and funded predominantly by men raises questions - not just about how successfully it meets the needs of its primary users, but who stands to gain from technology collecting data around female health. The UK has been found to have the largest female health gap in the G20 and the 12th largest globally. In part, this is because medical research by and for women is not given nearly the same amount of funding as research for and by men. It’s the shocking reality that while 31% of women are living with a reproductive health issue, only 2% of medical research funding goes toward reproductive health – and this medical inequality is widespread. Given the prevalence of male influence over health in this country, perhaps it makes sense that Flo falls short of the mark when it comes to addressing the actual needs of women and people who menstruate. Nothing demonstrated this better than the app’s new, ‘view-only’ cycle dashboard feature for male partners, as well as the marketing campaign surrounding it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/853d9849-e1e7-4408-87ba-64821290aa6f/period+2.png Features - The ‘World’s Most Popular Female Health App’ was Made By Men, For Men - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-does-brazils-ban-on-x-affect-fan-accounts monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a57c63e9-9d58-4511-b79e-de5fecb0a1e1/brazil+2_.png Features - How Does Brazil’s Ban on X Affect Fan Accounts? On August 30, the Supreme Court in Brazil unanimously voted to outlaw the social media X (formerly Twitter) in the country. The ban arose following Elon Musk's refusal to follow local legislation that requires a national representative, as well as the non-cooperation to investigate crimes, such as hate speech, occurring on the platform. Since Musk and X "considered itself above the rule of law," as judges Flavio Dino and Cristiano Zanin put it, and didn't want to block the accounts committing these crimes, the Brazilian Supreme Court opted to block the platform. Gradually, X began to go dark in the largest country in Latin America, leading many Brazilian netizens to migrate to other platforms. While some still have access to X, those who don’t are using VPN (Virtual Private Network) to do so, at the risk of being fined around £6900 per day, equivalent to nearly R$50,000. But the main concern isn’t even the money. Brazilians living abroad feel disconnected from their comrades. Most affected aren’t just those whose access has been restricted – but the users who consume their content. Recently, social media was flooded with farewells from pages dedicated to pop culture figures who have revealed themselves as Brazilians, and said goodbye to their audiences. As the main community creating and managing fan accounts on the platform is based in Brazil, X's audience and Brazilian residents are confronted with a challenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5614ecbd-5200-4e98-a176-ebb23b2e3c36/brazil+1.png Features - How Does Brazil’s Ban on X Affect Fan Accounts? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-alien-aliens-and-the-legacy-of-lieutenant-ripley monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a9740925-3921-4f02-adf2-8fdadbd29382/saint+sigourney+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Alien, Aliens and the Legacy of Lieutenant Ripley A few years ago, in 2019, my ex boyfriend convinced me to go to a 40 year anniversary screening of Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece Alien. I didn’t know much about it, other than it was a star-making vehicle for the extremely singular Sigourney Weaver, and it was a sci-fi classic. Why on earth would I want to see that? I thought to myself, I hate sci-fi. Give me anything else, give me smart melodramas, classic noirs, european character studies that move at glacial pace. Give me exploitation trash, camp legacy pieces, horror schlock, anything but spaceships and ray guns. “But Alien is a horror, it’s a classic monster slasher that just happens to be in space!” came the protesting argument. Fine, I thought to myself, Sigourney is an interesting actor - she was a scene stealer as an agoraphobic criminal profiler in one of my favourite 90s serial killer films; Copycat (1995), that was fun, I’ll give it a go. From the moment it started, I was captivated. This wasn’t the clean cardboard sets of TV alien shows, or the sleek post modern retro-futurism of overly slick 00s movies, or even the theatrical, dry ice and steam jets of 80s disaster fantasies. This wasn’t Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or any other beloved blockbusting franchise that I couldn’t ever bear to engage with. This was an industrial gothic mansion floating through space, full of as much suspense and inescapable dread as an Edgar Allen Poe novel. It might be cliche to focus on Alien’s horror credentials over its sci-fi standing, but it definitely helped me step through that portal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb89dbf9-06ce-497e-89be-807835a555f2/saint+sigourney+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Alien, Aliens and the Legacy of Lieutenant Ripley - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/juno-calypso-interview monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/80a7f519-bae2-4909-99ba-9bcf4d745897/JunoCalypso-2203.jpg Features - Juno Calypso on Body Horror, Catharsis and Self-Portraiture - Make it stand out Over the past decade, Juno Calypso’s photography has become synonymous with the uncanniness involved in feminine self-regard: the inherent strangeness of invasive and painful beauty treatments, despite their normalisation; the way in which despite all our adornments, feminine-coded people still look in the mirror and frequently see monstrousness. Calypso's work has explored these themes again and again – her photography, which includes self-portraiture, is formally deliberate and enticing – the pinks and pastels invite you in – but ultimately odd; just a little bit off. Her imagery wordlessly pokes at the place where beauty becomes weird. As such, her photography was the perfect choice for the cover of Emma Glass' new novel Mrs Jekyll, a gender-flipped, present-day reimagining of the gothic novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, centring on a woman with a terminal illness, as she reckons with a new perspective on the demands of womanhood, and the rageful but resolutely feminine force that is newly stirring within her. The cover depicts a woman's face looking into a magnetised mirror, riffing on the book's themes of self-perception and the interior versus the exterior. To find out more about Mrs. Jekyll and its connections with Calypso's work, we caught up with the artist to chat about the similarities between photographic and literary introspection, what sports documentaries can tell us about art, and what “bad taste” means to her in 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8137660e-26b6-435d-8609-91e688e4ee2b/jpeg+of+Mrs+J+cover+-+9781739440565+%282%29+%282%29.jpg Features - Juno Calypso on Body Horror, Catharsis and Self-Portraiture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4dd742a9-8357-4daa-b5e5-ea160104783d/JunoCalypso-2312.jpg Features - Juno Calypso on Body Horror, Catharsis and Self-Portraiture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b36733df-7477-47c2-9172-ad42326eaef2/JunoCalypso-1518.jpg Features - Juno Calypso on Body Horror, Catharsis and Self-Portraiture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-appeal-of-nonsense-the-rise-of-slop-content-in-a-toxic-online-landscape monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d260bff8-57e9-4301-bc81-143beda3c8c0/brainrot++1.png Features - The Appeal of Nonsense: The Rise of Slop Content in a Toxic Online Landscape - Make it stand out Over the last few years, social media has felt like it is deteriorating. Numerous updates brought unwanted and unnecessary new features, such as Reels and Notes in the case of Instagram, have only made apps more cluttered. Layoffs of crucial staff, especially those involved in content moderation, have been a huge detriment to user experience, as we have seen on Twitter or X as it is now known. These decisions have led to feeds and comment sections increasingly dominated by hate or nonsense. The latter type of content – the nonsense – is typically referred to with labels such as ‘brainrot’ or ‘slop content’, often made with AI. Slop content is everywhere. More than that, it is consistently well-received, at least on a surface level. Brainrot Reels and TikToks often receive hundreds of thousands of likes, paired with a level of engagement in comment sections that can only be described as the gold standard for algorithmic success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cd3ab0b5-7cc4-4391-9eb9-367fbf84c625/freak+bob+1.png Features - The Appeal of Nonsense: The Rise of Slop Content in a Toxic Online Landscape - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-caleb-hearon-on-so-true-collaborating-with-friends-and-cultivating-joy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1725460272144-VMFSAW802P8FO9S06TYE/caleb+lead+image.png Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Caleb Hearon on So True, Collaborating with Friends, and Cultivating Joy “I hate working.” Caleb Hearon tells me between set changes, during our shoot day. “If my bills are paid, my rent is paid and I get offered a job? I turn it down.” The anti-work sentiment is met with a cheer but on reflection, I’m amazed that Caleb manages to prioritise taking me-time, considering his absolutely stacked list of outputs. From starring in I Used To Be Funny (2024) alongside Rachel Sennott, hosting a weekly podcast, So True, and bopping about the States for live shows, from an outsider's perspective it seems like Caleb is a workaholic. The next time we speak, it’s for our formal interview over Facetime, as Caleb’s left the UK after a two week stint staying in London, and is now with friends in New York for a couple of nights before hitting the road. I bring up our chat on set and I’m met with more enthusiasm for the lazy lifestyle. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/katy-obrian-on-twisters-queer-roles-and-maintaining-extra-curricular-activities monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aace7e27-c8a6-4ba4-83db-14cd434519c1/KATYxPOLYESTER-4.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out This year has already been crowned the year of the lesbian, thanks to pop acts like Chappell Roan, Towa Bird and Renee Rapp taking over our TikTok feeds, the music charts and the hearts of many a young queer kid across the world. We even ran a podcast episode back in April celebrating the way sapphics are storming the world stage. My own personal hero moment for queer representation this year, however, was in an entirely different industry - the movies. I saw Love Lies Bleeding (2024) in the best place someone could watch the film. A preview screening surrounded by lesbians. I promise I’m not exaggerating for dramatic effect when I tell you someone fainted during the film. It was enthralling. At the end of the movie, I punched the air repeatedly on my walk to the loos. I was entranced not only by Kristen Stewart’s stellar performance, but my first time watching Katy O’Brian on the big screen. Given the opportunity to interview the actress during one of the strongest years of her career - she just featured in Twisters (2024) and is set to star in Mission: Impossible 8 in 2025 - I lept at the chance to chat. Below, we get into the freedom of indie storytelling, the importance of martial arts training and taking on legacy franchises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0128ca01-7742-47e3-a4aa-a083a61d7ae3/KATYxPOLYESTER-1.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Blazer: COS | Button-Up: Dolce & Gabbana | Pants: Alexander Vauthier | Vest: Vintage | Earrings: Versace | Rings/Broach: Kasun | Shoes: Harry Halim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68872662-0b05-4cc5-818d-f8fb6795e7fd/KATYxPOLYESTER-2.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/742122a2-fac4-4d4b-8279-f0b8596558a9/KATYxPOLYESTER-5.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Vest/Undies: Miu Miu | Blazer: Sandro | Necklace: Versace | Ring/Earrings: Kasun | Shoes: Harry Halim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61bf5fcd-2fc8-4f97-beaf-d59a852ad237/KATYxPOLYESTER-3.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Jacket: Edda | Skirt: Alice and Olivia Basquiat | Shoes: Harry Halim | Earrings: Versace | Ear Cuff: Jenny Bird | Ring: Kasun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4e30e99f-5706-4eee-8322-d364def0f778/KATYxPOLYESTER-6.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6f2da94-8a48-46db-97d5-372e4b773f88/KATYxPOLYESTER-8.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc47190d-9d05-4be7-b7d9-20d712ed74e0/KATYxPOLYESTER-9.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Shirt: Miu Miu | Corset: Lesya Nebo | Shorts: Dsquared | Shorts: Comme des Garcons | Jewellery: Lagos | Earrings: IHPR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd264dfe-35e2-4ae2-bfaf-228cc4506d2f/KATYxPOLYESTER-10.jpg Features - Katy O’Brian on Twisters, Queer Roles and Maintaining Extra Curricular Activities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rip-sphen-the-penguin-a-brief-history-of-gay-animalsnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1617a81d-b4c3-4bd4-ba0f-64bddfc98d24/penguin+2.png Features - Sphen the Penguin, Gay Animals &amp; Heteronormativity in Nature - Make it stand out Who gets to decide what’s “natural” and what isn’t? Feminist scholar Donna Haraway famously remarked, “We polish an animal mirror to look for ourselves.” In other words, we often use animals to reflect our values and beliefs, bending our understanding of nature to fit our preconceived notions. Take, for example, Sphen, the male gentoo penguin from Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. Sphen and his male partner, Magic, made headlines in 2018 when they became parents to two chicks — proving that love knows no bounds. Their story was more than just a feel-good narrative; it inspired a Mardi Gras float, was featured in Australia’s educational curriculum, and even appeared on Netflix’s Atypical. Sadly, Sphen passed away on August 22, 2024, but his legacy is enduring. His life demonstrated that effective parenting and love are not confined by species or gender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e94f0bf3-9c9c-4074-9c15-5e9fc136be72/penguin+1.png Features - Sphen the Penguin, Gay Animals &amp; Heteronormativity in Nature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/behind-the-scenes-with-holly-humberstone-at-the-eras-tour monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9115b36-f136-468b-a98a-910da93867c2/Scan+10.jpg Features - Behind the Scenes with Holly Humberstone at The Eras Tour - Make it stand out As Holly Humberstone prepares to hit the stage as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour,’ she’s still pinching herself at the surreal turn of events. “It’s quite mad,” she tells Polyester. “Never in my life did I think I’d be at Wembley Stadium, supporting Taylor Swift. I felt so lucky to be in my own custom dress, walking down that stage runway, it was so crazy!” It’s been a wild ride from the release of her debut single ‘Deep End’ just four years ago to now strutting down the runway in a custom, Folklore-inspired two-piece by Rafaela Pestritu.

It is informed by her personal experiences as an queer Erotic artist and sex worker, as well as her overall artistic practice. This essay also discusses the cultural heritage of “Other Intimacies” in the present climate of sex negativity and censorship – and why the visibility of marginalised and stigmatised identities is more important than ever. Debates about sex work rarely consult or include insights from sex workers themselves, which is an infuriating reality. Even more maddening is the lack of black, queer and trans perspectives in the divisive ‘sex wars’ debate. Working with strippers, dominatrices, fetish performers, and other LGBTQ+ muses in my photography work over the last few years (in the collection I titled Venus Envy) undoubtedly shaped my academic interest. Wanting to illustrate the power that sexually explicit art can bring towards shaping feminist and queer futures, I hoped the validity of academia would legitimise the work I was creating. Simultaneously, censorship on the ‘female’ body intensified as social media platforms – and society at large - became notoriously sex-negative spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/80fadaa6-d597-44ee-9155-05dd44aebc17/Severine.jpg Features - ‘Other Intimacies’ is the Art Book Exploring the Political Potency of Queer Erotica&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/20564a2f-f36f-4ed9-9050-6b8035aedeb3/An0maly.jpg Features - ‘Other Intimacies’ is the Art Book Exploring the Political Potency of Queer Erotica&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c6f410c-d3a4-4121-9a6c-655ff09f91c4/Gii+%26+Taro.jpg Features - ‘Other Intimacies’ is the Art Book Exploring the Political Potency of Queer Erotica&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65de2d23-d1bd-4de7-9bff-0e7470b7903f/Lady+Firefox.jpg Features - ‘Other Intimacies’ is the Art Book Exploring the Political Potency of Queer Erotica&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2aec6a78-1b0a-4ca6-bdde-42fd422e0b31/Valentina.jpg Features - ‘Other Intimacies’ is the Art Book Exploring the Political Potency of Queer Erotica&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-blush-blindness-and-self-referential-makeup-trends monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac25e83e-e390-4375-a8cb-5bc252079acb/blush+blindness+2_.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Blush Blindness and Self Referential Makeup Trends - Make it stand out Beauty has been steadily moving towards a more natural skin care focused look over the last several years - there are notable exceptions, of course, but overall the pendulum has swung from the full structured glam of the mid teens to various iterations of clean girl becoming the baseline idea of a “normal” beauty look. What is interesting however, is how one makeup element has been growing more and more stylised - even borderline cartoonish - whilst still being considered part of that clean girl canon. Blush. Right now, a hyper saturated cheek paired with a bare eye and lip feels low key and fresh faced, despite a hot pink mid face not exactly being commonly natural. Not that I don’t like it, I also tend to apply a cream blush across the bridge of my nose even on days when I’m not wearing any other makeup, and like everything that everyone else is doing, it looks totally normal whilst it remains popular - it’s only in hindsight that these trends are in danger of becoming embarrassing. The blush blindness trend on socials is pretty cheerful whilst acknowledging that this might be one of those trends we look back on while squinting through our fingers.

Where once that word might have immediately conjured images of sad packets under supermarket fluorescents, or the Tupperwares that would fester at the bottom of your school backpack because you wanted chips instead, these days it’s basically shorthand for an entire art form. You’ll have seen the photos of perfect sandwich cross sections on Instagram, these creations sliced neatly down the middle to reveal layers and layers of fillings – Italian deli meats folded in on themselves like luxurious bed sheets; blushing red tomatoes, slices on slices of pink salt beef, pickle discs, smatterings of sauerkraut, and maybe even some matchstick fries if it’s a real Frankenstein’s monster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0147999-8ddd-4c42-ae00-c584fffd4fdc/sammy+1.png Features - Love Bite: In the Pocket of Big Sandwich - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/an-ode-to-the-chaos-of-morning-television monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8337cb2-e0b2-4d63-8dd5-c1fb57f2f63d/collages+2.png Features - An Ode to the Chaos of Morning Television - Make it stand out The dynamics of morning television are not sexy, informative or useful but rather, kind of repressive. The dictates of ‘respectable’ broadcasting produce an eerie simulation. The format’s insidious sensibility comes from routine equivocation on devastating political matters, a commitment to respectability politics, and the preservation of law and order conformity over a morning cuppa. After the news, on shows like ITV’S This Morning and NBC’s Today, righteous broadcasters greet us with condescending addresses, and turn out the same painted-on Stepford Wife smiles to interview those arguably complicit in war crimes as they do benign reality TV contestants. Essentially unamused and neutered, there is a paralysing obeisance to the format. The mildest cursing is to be instantly atoned for. Nothing offensive can occur. Hosts appear like sentinels waiting to clamp down on any dissenting impulse, seeking to extinguish any evidence of honest expression. These shows become uncanny spaces in which societal frustrations cannot be processed. In concealing reality this way, morning shows betray our basic humanity and it’s as suffocating as it is sinister. As the hosts strain to maintain the status quo, they prove uninterested in the destruction or creation of anything, only the organising principle of order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0cd7ea6e-fb1b-42f0-bc93-9d87f549b526/collages.png Features - An Ode to the Chaos of Morning Television - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/threads-1984 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/73b0629d-2f63-4193-b6bd-bf8e6d9a1bb0/thread1.png Features - Film Fatale: Threads (1984) and the Kitchen Sink Apocalypse - Make it stand out It was a dark and stormy night. The football game my housemates watched in the room below my chamber ricocheted from wall to wall in replacement of the cry of a crow, and I stared blankly at a Twitter thread about the ethics of euthanasia. I’ve only recently gotten into Twitter, or X as it is now called, despite seeing what it has done to some of the greatest minds of my generation. I was feeling quite low. Was it because I was ovulating or because of my excessive screen time? Either way, I knew there were two paths that sat before me: put down my phone, splash some cold water on my face and unlock the dusty, rusty box in the back of my brain which held all the self-help strategies the mental health nurses shared with me for the past 12 years, or continue to make myself feel worse. And so I pressed play on Threads (1984) directed by Mick Jackson. I have wanted to see this film for a long time, but it is the type of movie you put off watching as you know it is going to make you feel vulnerable - like walking into a school assembly 5 minutes late the day you decided to dress goth for the first time. You suddenly regret every time you partook in self expression, letting your guard down and ultimately being alive, as people stare and roll their eyes. You feel raw, exposed to the elements. Threads is the cinematic audience’s equivalent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f09383b4-440f-4b9e-a12c-f53a10eb2a24/thread2.png Features - Film Fatale: Threads (1984) and the Kitchen Sink Apocalypse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/brighton-queers-for-palestines-guide-to-authentic-intersectionality monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8348433f-c383-4f57-a4ce-f866352692e9/brighton+1.png Features - Brighton Queers for Palestine’s Guide to Authentic Intersectionality - Make it stand out Whilst as marginalised groups, we are all interconnected in our systemic oppression, we also need to recognise the privilege we have by being born or raised in countries - such as the UK - which are not torn apart by colonialism and decades of occupation affecting one's life.

And as a queer person, as a Black person, I will continue to join everyone’s movements until we’re all free.” BTNQ4P actively fundraises through events, stalls and donations for e-sims, evacuation costs, and their Palestinian diaspora wellbeing project. Their fundraising events should be regarded as achievable by any group of persons who wish to make a change - as through group comradery, understanding, and community solidarity it is possible to be an authentic intersectional campaigner. Below are two examples of how their work can be emulated by any organiser seeking to make tangible change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a94bdab8-d8e2-4aa0-9c22-43e9a441ef2a/brighton+2.png Features - Brighton Queers for Palestine’s Guide to Authentic Intersectionality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-are-we-all-obsessed-with-our-bosses monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/98b83e04-0f8c-46d1-9423-9c2908426e8e/boss+1.png Features - Why Are We All Obsessed with Our Bosses? - Make it stand out Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, but what if the boss had a life like mine? From Mr. Potter to Mr. Burns, the greedy, cruel, and one-dimensional employer has made for a classic villain, but as we move through the 21st century, this archetype has grown more sympathetic and complex in culture. Where the old boss moved through the story with familiar wretchedness, the new boss is allowed an explanation for their selfishness, an origin story for how they came to be. But unlike classic tragedies like Citizen Kane, these characters are not merely meant for the audience but are directly in contact with another character more scrappy, relatable, and poor: the employee. Media today is fascinated by the complicated connection between an employer and their subordinate, a line that blurs between transactional and defiant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c49499a-16e2-4cac-9c76-00f541942a77/boss+2.png Features - Why Are We All Obsessed with Our Bosses? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/chris-kraus-on-living-editing-amp-failing monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b14514b-5ed1-402d-a42f-59a80a2d2d67/chris+kraus+2.png Features - Chris Kraus on Personal Writing, Being Motivated By Desire and Remaining Present - Make it stand out I wave from the car. Chris Kraus is wearing a colorful bandana and waving back at me. As soon as she takes her spot in my passenger seat, she tells me that she went to get prescription glasses at the place downtown that I told her about: “They were ready in an hour!” She took the subway and everything. On our way to our dinner, we talk about Columbia’s Nonfiction program and Jackie Wang’s Alien Daughters Walk Into the Sun. She laughs out loud when she sees that my phone wallpaper is the Julie Becker painting that Semiotext(e) chose for the cover of Little Joy: Selected Stories by Cecilia Pavón. In a way it is thanks to her that we are together today. Earlier this year, when I read some of my poems at Cecilia’s poetry office in Buenos Aires, she said that she almost exclusively reads books published by Semiotext(e). I scribbled down the name and Googled it in the evening. A few days later, as a birthday gift to myself, I bought two books written by Chris and translated by Cecilia: Tienda de ramos generales Kelly Lake (Cruce Casa Editora, 2017) and Sopor (Eterna Cadencia, 2018). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97f1b2ea-c2bd-4f04-a489-b5863ac339f6/chris+kraus+1_.png Features - Chris Kraus on Personal Writing, Being Motivated By Desire and Remaining Present - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/so-its-come-to-this-a-skibidi-toilet-movie monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bacc1a9e-19eb-4e6a-8c30-26e82fcf57b9/skib1.png Features - So It’s Come to This: A Skibidi Toilet Movie - Make it stand out Death rides on a pale horse. The falcon cannot hear the falconer. Michael Bay is making a Skibidi Toilet movie. Even if it’s not the end times, exactly, it’s pretty good evidence the centre can no longer hold — at least in Hollywood. Despite its multi-billion-view success on YouTube, Skibidi Toilet isn’t an obvious choice for adaptation. The series proves basically inscrutable to any but the most internet-poisoned, like one of those high frequencies only audible to children or dogs. And besides, it’s hard to imagine a grown adult asking for that ticket in a theatre. Skibidi Toilet dominates with kids, though. My teacher friends describe hordes of students singing the theme song at each other, to the point where administrators have had to ban any mention of “skippity toilet” (as the un-hip millennials constantly pronounce it) outside of the playground. But Skibidi Toilet’s role in the Gen-Alpha zeitgeist doesn’t come from anything specifically child-friendly to its themes, but more due to a combination of deep internet context and “turn your brain off” action that is specifically tailored to a generation raised online. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7d4e8d70-3542-4b8c-8a6f-1ba84d824736/skib2.png Features - So It’s Come to This: A Skibidi Toilet Movie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ayden-mayeri-on-reviving-her-retro-band-working-with-john-cena-and-improv-ing-her-way-through-life monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1d9ecc9-44fe-4a95-a3eb-89e685fa2f06/aydenmayeri-film-020-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Ayden Mayeri has had a charismatic presence on our screens throughout the 2010s, bringing her fresh and eclectic lens to each role she lands. Whether she's playing the quirky Leslie in New Girl, stealing scenes in Cora Bora, or charming audiences in I Love That For You, Mayeri’s versatility shines through. In 2024 she’s stepping into the forefront with roles in Paul Feig’s dystopian comedy Jackpot and TV series Mr. Throwback, starring Stephen Curry. This month, Mayeri sat down with Polyester to chat about taking the lead, During our chat, I couldn't help but marvel at how Ayden Mayeri brings such depth to her characters. When asked if she believed her characters belonged in the same universe (the AMCU if you will), Mayeri chuckled. "I imagine multiverses. Characters like Sam from Mr. Throwback and Riley from Cora Bora are grounded, real people doing their best. Meanwhile, Shadi in Jackpot, Leslie from New Girl, and my character from I Love That For You live in a wackier, full-glam universe, totally unhinged." This specific blend of realism and whimsy is what makes Mayeri's work so compelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5bf95cae-fa6a-4f0f-9752-495c9020f388/_MG_1279-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Top: Another Tomorrow | Pants: Argent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/78902e45-2431-4e10-ac04-b7f8b8f02a6c/aydenmayeri-film-002-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Dress: COS | Shoes: Zegna https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a85f2ccf-51f3-4a92-ac1d-543c0ac97d5c/aydenmayeri-film-003-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/57300e7f-89e6-4fec-ba0e-8261d0b68568/aydenmayeri-film-032-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1484eaf7-29c0-4aa8-8fd3-d855d76a538d/_MG_1420-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Dress: Another Tomorrow | Sweater: XuXu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5bd52e2b-3b15-45d6-8363-27c7a2a8c0ba/_MG_1063-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Shirt and Silver Pants: Alersundi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7daee63-1403-4bc2-9598-6403a48212eb/_MG_1454-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95845f57-09f7-4081-8c32-ca176eebffa9/_MG_0837-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f8f4a154-874b-4720-8abb-5b3dc283c704/_MG_1254-Edit.jpg Features - Ayden Mayeri on Reviving Her Band X-Cetra, Working with John Cena and Improv-ing Her Way Through Life. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-why-chicago-will-always-be-famous monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d06960ae-bbb9-497a-9429-b9edb4135274/chicago+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why Chicago will Always Be Famous - Make it stand out What“Give 'em the old razzle dazzle, razzle dazzle' em, how can they see with sequins in their eyes?” These lines from Chicago carry as much impact now as they did when the musical was written in 1975 by John Kander and Fred Ebb. Whether it's celebrities distracting us from their misdemeanours, governments burying bad policies behind cultural events, or politicians glossing over war crimes, the court of public opinion is notoriously fickle. What wins out in the end is not always what should; Justice will always take a backseat to glamorous juvenescence. “Give ‘em the old flim flam flummox, fool and fracture ‘em, how can they hear the truth above the roar?” Star power can be weaponised against the masses, and in our recent political history, I think we can all name a few people that fit this bill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ef01b8c-98ee-49cd-a283-cbc5b2b6d115/chicago+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why Chicago will Always Be Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-aunt-mikaela-loach-answers-climate-anxiety-dilemmas monthly 0.5 2024-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8d909fe5-78a8-4fb1-8de4-60db18d65b5f/022.jpg Features - Agony Aunt Mikaela Loach Answers Climate Anxiety Dilemmas - Make it stand out Climate anxiety is real and an ever growing threat without any real answers being offered to what we can do to help.

In the last couple of years – and even months – queer, female artists like Ethel Cain and Chappell Roan have stepped away from the public eye, citing their obsessive fan bases — primarily composed of women — as a significant factor. For the first time, the objects of desire are addressing stans directly, and declaring stan culture as unhealthy, invasive behaviour. It feels like a breath of fresh air after celebrities have too often been forced to pander to fans who, at any given moment, can go viral for painting their faves as rude, cruel or aloof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f2a02f4-4ed9-4139-bd47-10a6e4cb5f2d/chappel+2.png Features - Nothing ‘Casual’ About It: Chappell Roan, Ethel Cain and Why Female Stans Need to Look Inward - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/where-are-all-the-fat-social-media-chefs monthly 0.5 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7291d710-13b3-4312-a471-cc24dcffcf61/cooking.png Features - Where are All the Fat Social Media Chefs? - Make it stand out This summer’s aesthetic is food.

It’s tinned fish girl summer; lemon girl summer; “isn't this heirloom tomato kinda Loewe” summer? Food is everywhere and everyone’s a foodie. My TikTok FYP is full of women making a name for themselves in the industry, like Meredith Hayden, Matilda Bea, Tess Madalyn and, of course, the aforementioned Nara Smith. I love food, I love cooking, and so - for a while - I loved this shift in the zeitgeist. For so long, women had to pretend not to enjoy food, the patriarchy telling us it wasn’t ladylike to eat big portions, 00s diet culture telling us to replace flavour with SlimFast and Special K.

A true multi-hyphenate, Hirsch’s career began in law, before she transitioned to print media and TV journalism, and finally found her home in book writing and broadcasting. Her acclaimed debut, Brit(ish) (2018), explores her thoughts on race, identity and belonging. Following the book’s success, she formed her own production company, Born In Me.

The MacBook was released, Amazon transformed from a bookseller into a thriving online marketplace, Bush told Americans to shop more, and Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired on E! The seemingly endless innovations contrasted with the harsh reality of an increasingly fractured and brutalised world, where 9/11 shook the world and the signs of a massive global recession rose. In retrospect, it's hard to think that no one could feel this shift, that no one saw the centre refusing to hold, as it had so many times before. The answers to these harsh interruptions of reality were, of course, to bend one's head in prayer and look downward to your screens, where a vaster, and somehow realer world awaited you. The answer was content. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4ff5804-e294-498b-8e47-3e53a436a36a/content1.png Features - Mass Consumption, the Algorithm and How Capitalism Created Content - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/richie-shazams-guide-to-being-an-it-girl monthly 0.5 2024-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b7e5568-c944-4ced-b969-150b606e925d/LK1_COMBO3+%281%29.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out We’ve reached peak It Girl.

To Richie Shazam, the model, photographer, creative director, writer and icon, an It Girl is a necessity to society. She enthuses that we - we as a culture - need someone to place on a pedestal and it’s all the better when it is someone who deserves to be adored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/981d1620-e85b-4c3a-91fc-6d98f76f49f0/LK2_3.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Hat: Windowsen | Bra: Stylist Own | Skirt: Twiggy Moore | Shoes: Windowsen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/468f985a-f1d8-453e-9a3e-fe421595b834/LK+5+0T7A8734.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Dress: Finn Bunting | Shoes: Steve Madden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7a3c7f3-bf91-48e2-8721-315b6557909b/LK4_2.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Gloves: Stylist Own | Dress: Laura Andraschko | Shoes: Stylist Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/710d5971-621f-4810-84a8-936817d7bf60/LK4_COMBO_1_heel.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/689f4027-dbc8-4391-acc2-d557f38d6652/LK3_HIRES2.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Earrings: Sister Morphine | Bra: Carmen Weiss | Pants: Windowsen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9fa159f5-f397-4866-b583-829e09f3aa1a/LK1_HIRES3.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Dress: Bree Designs | Gloves: Bree Designs | Shoes: Stylist Own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/279b33a3-50d2-41f9-9f20-ed56549add29/LK2_4+0T7A8495.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/05f71f8c-0725-45b0-9846-166ec513c191/LK6_2.jpg Features - Richie Shazam’s Guide to Being an It Girl - Make it stand out Gloves: Stylist Own | Dress: Gigi Goode | Shoes: Windowsen https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/soccer-mommy-on-her-album-evergreen-festival-culture-and-diy-rock monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67a8432f-240e-4b66-9a7c-6407750a2939/sm1.png Features - Soccer Mommy on her album ‘Evergreen’, festival culture and DIY rock - Make it stand out Sophie Allison, who makes music as Soccer Mommy, is no stranger to the festival circuit.

The record brings everything that makes the Soccer Mommy project so special together – there are the sparkling melodies of her debut Clean, along with the experimentation of Sometimes Forever, produced by Oneohtrix Point Never’s Daniel Lopatin, plus a warm, rich helping of strings and acoustic guitar. At Outbreak Festival in Manchester, the day after she played Glastonbury, we caught up with Sophie to talk about her thoughts on camping festivals, the differences between US and UK audiences, and her upcoming album Evergreen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23dece1e-4b1d-41df-b791-e78db0874534/sm3.png Features - Soccer Mommy on her album ‘Evergreen’, festival culture and DIY rock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5d4ee19d-9d2d-4c75-b48c-7f46f90c0d81/sm5.png Features - Soccer Mommy on her album ‘Evergreen’, festival culture and DIY rock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77fadfe0-942c-4f39-bb9a-1f5399626153/sm2.png Features - Soccer Mommy on her album ‘Evergreen’, festival culture and DIY rock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/non-threatening-boys-mark-indelicato-on-ugly-betty-hacks-gay-superheroes-and-tumblr monthly 0.5 2024-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27170f6f-faa7-4f44-8866-276f271cf120/non+threatening+boys+x+polyester+x+mark+indelicato+.jpg Features - Non Threatening Boys*: Mark Indelicato On Ugly Betty, Hacks, Gay Superheroes and Tumblr Mark Indelicato has funny bones. He’s never without a quippy comment, and humour practically oozes from his every word and gesture. That’s what happens when you’ve been a comedian for most of your life – we first saw him on TV 18 years ago, as the lovable, fashion-obsessed Justin Suarez in Ugly Betty. Indelicato took on the role aged just 11. It not only showcased his precocious acting chops but also positioned him as a trailblazer for young queer representation on television. Now, he's still making audiences laugh with his portrayal of Damien on HBO's Hacks, a series that continues to break boundaries in its three dimensional depiction of LGBTQ+ characters. But there's so much more to Mark than his on-screen personae. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/arts-for-impact monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/84d4aa6f-1426-4685-a041-9a484b23637f/AFI70.jpg Features - Arts for Impact on Their Auction Raising Funds for Medical Care in Gaza Arts for Impact is on a mission to make a difference in a world where everyone is not only a curator, but also a collector of trinkets. Their team, consisting of Moon, Caroline, Lea, and Rahemur, have harnessed the power of their creative community network to organise an auction with the sole purpose of raising much-needed funds for MSF, an international humanitarian organisation providing essential medical care in the crisis in Gaza. The auction boasts an array of one of a kind prizes, from the pages of Jeremy Corbyn’s poignant poetry book to Mica Levi’s guitar pedal. As well as bagging yourself a niche prize that will be worth its weight in clout, you’re supporting a vital cause.

Her breakthrough single, 'THE SNAKE,' went viral in March 2023, racking up nearly seven million Spotify streams. The track is sung in Arabic and English, and the mix is a perfect example of Lubany’s unique musical vision. Lubany's journey from Palestine to the UK, where she studied music and settled in London, has been marked by a commitment to her heritage and a drive to innovate. She’s known for her compelling performances and stage presence, though as she divulges in the below conversation with Jade, her journey is not just about music. It’s about building community and advocating for change. Here, Lana delves into her creative approach, her passion for activism, and her pride in her Arabic heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/245be638-80e0-4a2d-96ae-0dcd72353294/lana1.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Corset - Milla Guilia Badin | Leather shorts - Basic Pleasure Mode | Socks and shoes - Stylist’s own | Jewellery - Lag World and stylist’s own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/72d9ccc7-94e4-4611-821a-b4e2cd547892/lana3.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Glasses - Gentle Monster | Dress - SRVC | Shoes - Topshop | Earrings - Stylist’s own | Bracelets - Maison Lumiere and Stylist’s own | Rings - Lag World and stylist’s own https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a2465b29-a522-4c0b-9172-bd1f3bcc01e4/lana11.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42d0a798-ae8c-462b-88f4-26f79e27ddb5/lana2.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Dress, veil and cuffs - Ruaa Elmansuri | Pearls and jewellery - Stylists own | Shoes - Topshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c567028-e3d2-4f54-8dbf-11301078856f/lana10.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a175e171-09ae-4af1-9950-2e7ab9c3dc40/lana9.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c6ced3a9-601a-40b1-9d3f-9d5e5bb27bc7/lana6.jpeg Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c98d6825-4d5e-479d-8d23-b687d190662e/lana13.png Features - Lana Lubany on Embracing Her Heritage, Palestinian Culture and Bilingual Pop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/chioma-nnadi-vogue-interview-jade-thirlwall monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/537a7518-7eca-4e08-8858-2bdc09357f89/chioma7.jpeg Features - Chioma Nnadi on Editing Vogue, Interviewing Rihanna, and Fashion Icks - Make it stand out When Chioma Nnadi was appointed Head of Editorial Content at British Vogue late last year, many breathed a sigh of relief. Some had wondered whether the new editor would continue making the strides in diversity and inclusion that had characterised Edward Enninful’s six year reign at the top of the magazine. But when Chioma was announced as his successor, it was clear that the publication was in safe, and very cool, hands, as proven by her first cover for the magazine, which showed FKA twigs in LOEWE, atop that most British of things: a black cab. Chioma’s career has been defined by a commitment to seeking out new talent as well as elevating and changing our perceptions of existing ones – she does, after all, self-describe as a “storyteller”. She began working as a journalist in her early 20s, for publications like The Fader and Trace, and in the time since, her interview subjects have included stars like Rihanna and Angelina Jolie, all while acting as a vocal advocate for change in the fashion industry.

Following that thread, I think laughter is the opiate of those who are chronically online. The content that keeps us glued to our screens is often geared towards making us laugh, whether comedy was the intended purpose or not. Unintentional humour is in high demand. Especially in today’s digital culture, videos and posts that are assumed to be uploaded earnestly, end up being the funniest of them all, due to the devastatingly wide gap between the perceived intention and the audience impact. Banking on the continued virality of comedy are, surprisingly, the spiritual subsects of social media. I don’t have to scroll far on TikTok to find spiritual content. It’s even more pervasive on Instagram reels where there is endless content laced with spiritual messaging across a range of institutions and belief systems. From Christians inviting me to walk with Jesus, ‘Holy girl’ coaches selling ‘get rich quick’ e-books, and dubious ‘energy wave’ healers peddling their sex therapy courses, it seems that those blessed by the divine are opening up their doors to peddle their wares in a totally unprecedented manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1f9439e-2c1e-46d4-9711-01a108f17699/cyber+evangelism+1.png Features - Cyber Evangelism: Navigating the Cringe Nature of Religious Social Media Content - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nadia-alexeev-on-unabashed-authenticity-activism-and-nadia-news monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae82b101-dc44-4035-a756-e95788a8de8e/nadia-27.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Nadia Alexeev is, in my eyes, the definition of an enigma. Whenever my algorithm blesses me with a video from the TikTok ingenue, dancing in an outfit that stands out as uniquely Nadia - or rather, uniquely Grapejuicenads - I fall under her spell. I find myself hours later, months deep into the Alexeev lore and wondering if I should invest in a curl cream. There’s an addictive quality to the Canadian’s content that’s hard to define, her videos just ooze with confidence, star power and affability. Finding out more about Nadia Alexeev is a mammoth task in and of itself. While other creators have gone to lengths to establish themselves outside of social media, a cursory Google of Nadia Alexeev offers up very little. An archive blog post from her old school, Getty images from the Mean Girls (2024) New York premier and a site selling cardboard cutouts of her face for £29.97. And while famous birthdays dot com supplies cursory information like - you guessed it - Alexeev’s birthday, alongside information on her star sign, number of siblings and her adoration of concerts, we felt it necessary to sit down with the legend to find out more about the behind the scenes workings of Grapejuicenads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e678aa7-03c8-4830-beff-e5bcc5d65e8f/nadiacollage.jpeg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/91a07f4d-623c-4167-b5c5-2243088784f9/nadia-15.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55086a08-8014-40eb-892d-3faa99355b0f/nadia-4.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Dress: Paper Machine | Bra, Tights, and Socks: Itimissimi | Belt: Kate Cade | Shoes: Nomasei | Necklace and Earrings: Alexis Bittar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46ab1cfd-270d-4692-b2ed-8b8cb6ceccd4/nadia-38.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4911b5b7-57f8-4b93-b6af-c759b80dde00/nadia-14.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Belt: Vaincoirt Paris | Shoes: Sebastian Milano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea726ccb-7726-4f28-9814-13316e58e996/nadia-34.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bcaaca15-c364-4a8c-9d24-8521577b12ea/nadia-18.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd01955c-e6c6-4a78-9095-4607d3b38714/nadia-5.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23c1fd58-6354-4c78-a046-2e238326485b/nadianicksv5.png Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0c4ad2b-ddc7-494b-bb75-04d28c730491/nadia-21.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1722268771419-PX2SATHA1KTKW3FEGO0Y/nadia-28.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e22a130f-6642-4404-9064-d8bebdd6fc3a/nadia-10.jpg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3072ebc5-bb7c-4e67-819a-c74713b07240/nadia-26v2.jpeg Features - Nadia Alexeev on Unabashed Authenticity, Online Activism, and Nadia News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shelley-duvall-and-her-career-defining-roles monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/72d466c7-61c8-473a-a900-61cd4f0a7913/shelly1.png Features - Film Fatale: Shelley Duvall and Her Career Defining Roles - Make it stand out Shelley Duvall passed away this month in her sleep at her home in Blanco, Texas. Her loss hurts - we will never have another Shelley. Her on screen presence was unique with distinctive doe eyes, toothy smile and a whimsical tone - she stood out against the glitzy Hollywood collective and became a figure for weird girls across the world. I can’t think of a time when I don’t open my apps to a stunning picture of Duvall; her bottom eyelashes pieced together to enhance her dreamy gaze whilst she eats candyfloss, in Vogue photographed by Bert Stern wearing a stunning pink, orange, purple and green ensemble (it was even my phone lock screen for a few years in school). Duvall was effortlessly enigmatic. Duvall’s legacy is often tied to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980) and particularly the speculation of Kubrick’s cruel treatment of the actress in order to bring out true fear and torment as she played the distressed Wendy alongside a menacing Jack Torrence (Jack Nicholson). Whilst there is no doubt that the filming was strenuous and Duvall was at times under great stress, she did express that Kubrick was “very warm and friendly” to her, as well as stating in a 2001 interview that she “Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Why? Because of Stanley. And it was a fascinating learning experience. It was such intense work that I think it makes you smarter.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4279774f-89ab-48ca-97b6-3d0af642a4b7/shelley2.png Features - Film Fatale: Shelley Duvall and Her Career Defining Roles - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/gen-z-boss-and-a-mini-and-how-gen-z-inherited-the-millennial-cringe-curse monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6d92b50-cb1c-4ae5-8c12-21509ddf73d8/gen+z+and+a+mini+1.png Features - ‘Gen Z Boss and a Mini’ and How Gen Z Inherited the Millennial Cringe Curse - Make it stand out On the 29th of July, history was made. The weather was humid, the skies cloudy, as we followed our three heroines trudging up a hill in Margate. Swaying slightly on their way home from a night out, they pressed record and never looked back. Such is the setting of Maisie Isobel’s TikTok, which now has over 1.1 million likes and originated the “boots and a slick back bun” trend. Just three girls hitting the town and slurring a catchy chant that correlates to their outfits. We’ve got boots and a slick back bun girl with a sporty racer jacket, cowboy boots and a blowie grasping a G&T tinnie, Sambas and a little red bag ending the video with a jovial “hey!”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4d37f49-121c-4ad6-9cd8-08724fd80f06/gen+z+and+a+mini+2.png Features - ‘Gen Z Boss and a Mini’ and How Gen Z Inherited the Millennial Cringe Curse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jade-thirlwall monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cfe288bd-85e0-4e2d-aeca-372dd3bcdcbb/jade+thirlwall+x+polyester+zine+cover+instagram+size+.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out “Angel of my dreams / I will always love you and hate you, it's not fair,” so sings Jade Thirlwall on “Angel of my Dreams” her first single since leaving Little Mix – the most successful girl band of the 2010s. Her voice glides out in a silky falsetto, pitched-up slightly, like a Eurotrance song from the 90s, before crashing into a taut, punchy, Drag Race-like chorus. The song has subtle shades of Little Mix, but it’s also weirder and more leftfield than that, like something from sixth album Confetti dunked in fluorescent goo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5c51fce1-54e7-446b-b14d-c2cf8c10f401/PXJTXYVN_5.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Shirt - Jordan Luca | Tie - Alexander McQueen | Socks - Wolford | Shoes - Dr. Martens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34bdc0b5-142d-49e3-ae51-930b5c4ccc08/PXJTXYVN_3.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2ed6af93-084b-444a-9958-20c611f09a7c/PXJTXYVN_6.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Dress - Jean Paul Gaultier x Shayne Oliver | Shoes - Giuseppe Zanoti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bdd575ca-dcde-434f-9ab6-4f9a43f0107a/PXJTXYVN_2.2.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Knickers - Skims | Boots - Marc Jacobs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a7a9913-d4b7-4f9c-bcbf-3c1829e1a8c2/PXJTXYVN_16.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/933bfde2-4aa1-4b2b-8beb-7b3767fb7e0c/PXJTXYVN_8.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c52b8ce1-0752-403f-b93e-7252f5f3fd72/PXJTXYVN_11.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4f546831-bfa4-4e7b-9427-8ccfc03bf7d5/PXJTXYVN_14.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Two piece: Miu Miu | Tights: Wolford https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdfbc33f-3c46-4ef5-a05a-21e81673c5c3/PXJTXYVN_10.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Top - AKNA | Jeans - Levi’s x Ambush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/518090bf-a9c3-4e0b-bfda-26af0b0c409f/PXJTXYVN_12.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b985244c-9503-4456-97d2-44a2e8dd735b/PXJTXYVN_13.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8d8b15da-14c8-4b6c-b648-13e18b082402/PXJTXYVN_9.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e35ce5b-a316-4ea1-8925-2d1549136461/PXJTXYVN_15.jpg Features - Jade Thirlwall on Going Solo, Talking Politics, and ‘Angel Of My Dreams’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/coney-island-editorial monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5b8412c2-015a-43f1-a7cb-26f545033767/410A58411.jpg Features - This Editorial is a Satirical Celebration of Coney Island - Make it stand out Coney Island brings a moment of respite to the busy cityscape of New York.

Both (mainly) painters who explore the body in their work - although inarguably, very different ways - it’s taken four years to pull together their joint show Bitches In Heat. As well as working together on the dog themed exhibition, Sterling and Pettit have had stacked schedules this year, with Sterling currently participating in the A Feast For The Eyes group show Guts Gallery and Pettit’s short film, The Body which will be shown at The Amory Show in September, has been making waves for its mastery of horror to explore complex themed of corporality and trauma. The two artists joined us in our studio to discuss their different takes on horror, fat representation and dog metaphors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3200a07f-f62e-4b09-9eb1-ac8f627872d0/Mercyjpg.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fd9ab8a-d3dc-4b1a-9833-151641fefb9c/maw.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0ae64f7-f6cf-4cac-9172-aac3d45dd0d5/thebodystill.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/975c2e19-beb0-441c-8abd-c278ea54d9b6/Bar+Maids%2C+2024.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/078a7ac3-28b7-4b08-9c63-abab59308eec/It+Just+Oozes+out+Naturally%2C+2024.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88bbbdb0-2396-4216-96a7-90e34be55063/What+Lies+Beneath.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7750015a-4188-4517-a782-9c1b477167d7/Digging+their+graves+with+their+teeth+2022+.jpg Features - Artists Lydia Pettit and Olivia Sterling in Conversation: On Self Portraiture, The Void and Bitches In Heat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-rise-of-the-anaemic-e-girl monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27c018fc-5518-4402-84e2-1179b4c62620/anaemic1.png Features - The Rise of the Anaemic E-Girl: The Dangers of Aestheticising Illness - Make it stand out As the girlhood content stream shows no sign of being syphoned out of our algorithms, you might have noticed that the regular programming of Sylvia Plath memes, Pre-Raphaelite paintings, and images of aged diaries is being interrupted by a surprising theme: anaemia. If you are unaware, anaemia is a condition caused when the body doesn't have enough haemoglobin or red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues. It is characterised by symptoms such as pale skin, fatigue, and dizziness. It is commonly caused by low iron in the blood, so “low iron” and “anaemia” are often used interchangeably, particularly on the internet. The condition has not only entered the sometimes-problematic “I’m-just-a-girl” pantheon but is making the rounds on male influencer’s TikTok pages as a desirable trait in women. While anaemia is not exclusive to any gender, it is more commonly experienced by people who menstruate thanks to the frequent loss of blood during a period. Arguably though, this is not entirely why the condition has been depicted as an expression of the feminine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/43a963a1-a375-4d60-ae8f-282135f517a3/anaemic2.png Features - The Rise of the Anaemic E-Girl: The Dangers of Aestheticising Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-what-your-favourite-bbq-food-says-about-you monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a8bd1307-d2ef-4741-8240-d81525d76b73/bbq+1.png Features - Love Bite: What Your Favourite BBQ Food Says About You - Make it stand out Even though it’s the 16th of July in the year of our Lord 2024 at the time of writing this, and it actually rained today, I am very committed to the idea of actually trying to have a summer of some description. For me, a barbecue is a quintessential part of that (to be honest, probably even more so if it rains). So in that spirit, I have decided to dedicate this edition of Love Bite to them. Ultimately, a BBQ is something that can be so personal. Are you a hot dog person? A burger person? Or a secret third thing (vegetarian)? Can you be found loitering around the crisps and potato salad before the main event even happens? Or are you all in on the shop-bought desserts for afterwards? We are all of us different – variety, after all, is the spicy margarita of life – so for no reason other than a further attempt at trying to conjure the sun, here’s what your favourite BBQ item says about you: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/169c9843-fc77-480d-9c63-73abecd7e6b4/bbq+2.png Features - Love Bite: What Your Favourite BBQ Food Says About You - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maika-monroe-on-selecting-roles-nicolas-cage-and-keeping-the-industry-at-arms-length monthly 0.5 2024-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eaa6ae72-a8bb-4d73-b574-9e1a721087e2/Maika+Monroe+x+Polyester+zine+cover+.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out When Maika Monroe appears via video call on my laptop screen, I find it slightly jarring. Ever since I first saw her in David Robert Mitchell’s astonishing sophomore feature film, It Follows (2014), Maika has been an actress whose career I have paid unwavering attention to. It Follows was life changing for me. It opened up my love of film and it helped me realise, in a strange way, aspects of my own identity; my womanhood and my awareness of my own trauma are both forever tied to It Follows. It was akin to the type of self-actualising that Gen Z are similarly experiencing thanks to Jane Shoenbruns’s I Saw the TV Glow (2024). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07a3a2ea-4c98-4b3f-8aea-c004defb29f5/IMG_6058+copy+2.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Shirt - Helmut Lang | Tank - Cou Cou Intimates | Skirt - Roberto Cavalli https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3cfe23ca-f06d-4cd4-b15b-472abe52f67e/IMG_6424.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Corset - Vintage | Shorts - Vivienne Westwood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/44730770-bc6e-4c1c-9669-7dafaec1062a/IMG_7051+copy.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Dress - Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82f9eb03-05ac-4d4f-97b8-3fc5f46633be/IMG_7075+copy.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf63b77b-4239-4936-a1ad-7148e124ba65/IMG_6186+copy.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Dress - Prada | Top - Vintage | Shoes - Dolce & Gabanna | Underwear - Cou Cou Intimates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d083a996-152b-4c7d-9363-360ed19f4b60/IMG_6025+copy+%281%29.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93ac8f2c-55df-4e64-83b5-d1f9132b6503/IMG_6712+copy+2.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Bodysuit: Cou Cou Intimates | Underwear - Cou Cou Intimates | Veil - Radradulescu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f727b738-3426-4afd-b447-0e8014bcf63d/IMG_6827+copy.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac30507f-e6a7-4cae-b22c-0a4dd083fcd3/IMG_6641.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4c92b761-6060-4ef3-8eaa-48564133b04b/IMG_6037+copy+2.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/96ec5001-135d-468e-bf17-bdd5531adc38/IMG_5932+copy+2+%281%29.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0466f73-4fa2-49fc-a0ff-c3accedb13f8/IMG_6248+copy.jpg Features - Maika Monroe On Longlegs, Auteurship and Keeping the Industry at Arm’s Length - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/brat-ivf-outlaw-being monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/910dc26c-c00e-445c-a766-f59b72f76ed5/brat2.png Features - Brat, the Outlawing of IVF and Thoughts on Being - Make it stand out My first listen to the Brat album serendipitously brought me to a park, where electric green trees beckoned me closer as if they were part of the listening experience. Rows of Lime bikes jeered me as I walked past the winding path toward a busy playground. The now all too familiar dregs of a synth played, introducing me to the penultimate song on the album: I Think About It All the Time. The melody intertwined with the rustling leaves and distant laughter, but all I could think about were the lyrics. "If I don’t run out of time, would it give my life a new purpose?" the song questioned, followed by a pragmatic: "Should I stop my birth control?" The lyrics struck a chord with me, stirring thoughts that I - and many others in my generation - often grapple with. We seem to be rife with baby fever, despite Gen Z’s inclination to delay motherhood as much as possible. In the echo chamber created by social media algorithms targeting women, it’s impossible to escape the concept of motherhood: From "A Day in the Life of a Gen-Z mom" videos to glimpses into the lives of DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) couples, the idea of having children is omnipresent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/73de9fee-8c5c-44f2-b3ed-e4273140b957/brat3.png Features - Brat, the Outlawing of IVF and Thoughts on Being - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-quiet-destruction-of-cinematic-norms-by-marguerite-duras monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34aaf13c-02dc-4d80-8d3c-c7e4e6abd483/duras1.png Features - Marguerite Duras and the Quiet Destruction Of Cinematic Norms - Make it stand out A major retrospective of the work of Marguerite Duras is taking place at the ICA between July and August, showing work by the French literary eccentric that is rarely seen. Marguerite Duras is known as one of the leading authors of the Nouveau Roman movement, but when she began as a filmmaker her experimental musings were praised, yet they still remain wildly underrated. She is most famous for writing the Academy Award nominated script for Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) but unlike other female auteurs of her time such as Varda and Akerman, Duras’s work still inexplicably flies under the radar. Her refusal to compromise paired with her innovative approach to her aesthetic, style and narrative structures are no easy watch but this is exactly what she railed against. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/08299bcd-cf84-401e-8a5e-08dd503b3e70/duras2.png Features - Marguerite Duras and the Quiet Destruction Of Cinematic Norms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maxxxine-and-the-struggle-to-hollywood-stardom monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7dfc2f2d-3266-4e58-975e-ccb4d82b38f5/max2.png Features - What MaXXXine and the X Trilogy Says About the Toxicity of Hollywood - Make it stand out “I’m a starrrr!” – three words that have made an indissoluble stamp on the current zeitgeist of popular meme culture. The phrase (iconically misinterpreted as “Emma Stone” said with an Aussie accent) became the defining sentiment of Ti West’s manic farmhouse horror Pearl (2022) but in MaXXXine (2024), West hurls his starlet right into the eye of the storm – 1980s Hollywood. If you’re not clued in already (or you’ve been living under a rock) – over the course of a mere two years, director Ti West has rolled out a decade-hopping slasher trilogy – and his latest instalment, MaXXXine, caps off the series in a coked-up frenzy combining Psycho (1960), stardom and satanic panic. Mia Goth’s volcanic performance as the eponymous Maxine/Pearl has certified the actress as the scream queen of a generation – but to label the X trilogy as just another exploration of feminine rage and obsession would almost pigeonhole it completely. Tales of Tinseltown, from All About Eve (1951) to Showgirls (1995), and the rise to fame often paint actors - particularly women - as crazed individuals, willing to do whatever it takes to be seen in the spotlight. But, pointedly, it’s the circumstances surrounding these characters that pave them on such a savage path to the top. After all, as Maxine’s mantra goes, would you accept a life you do not deserve? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1041f8a-f4a1-455b-a466-9a6dab25da4d/max1.png Features - What MaXXXine and the X Trilogy Says About the Toxicity of Hollywood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/female-drill-artist-princess-xixi-on-disruption-standing-her-ground-and-her-debut-ep-a-dolls-house monthly 0.5 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f61593f-402d-4179-a6a3-9642d10f8e8e/IMG_8431.JPG Features - Female Drill Artist Princess Xixi on Disruption, Standing Her Ground and Her Debut EP ‘a dolls house’ - Make it stand out Nothing screams cunty like the Spotify bio for rapper, singer and DJ-extraordinaire Princess Xixi. The self-proclaimed “wasian Lily Allen” is a multi-faceted force to be reckoned with. At her most ferocious, she fires shot after savage shot at her hateful opps over infectious grime and drill beats. At her most vulnerable, pop-punk lyricism paints a politically and socially charged portrait of life as a young trans woman. Drawing its name from Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 theatrical literature opus, the Northwest London native’s a dolls house EP is nothing short of playful and provocative. From brutal bangers like “leng loi 2.0” and “anubis”, to the soothing sounds of “leaves” and “validation”, Princess Xixi’s latest body of work offers a fun and fresh approach to genre-blending and revelatory songwriting. Pausing EP release day celebrations for an in-depth convo with myself over Zoom, Princess Xixi divulged plenty of music production tea and important life lessons on how to be your best authentic self in the face of adversity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b87e6b6a-940b-4c73-9047-c2a0f1b9bf7a/IMG_8437.JPG Features - Female Drill Artist Princess Xixi on Disruption, Standing Her Ground and Her Debut EP ‘a dolls house’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb9994a5-6b5f-450b-9ad8-51775965f82a/IMG_8432.JPG Features - Female Drill Artist Princess Xixi on Disruption, Standing Her Ground and Her Debut EP ‘a dolls house’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b860ad62-5ac3-4577-a528-d23c738b8ce5/IMG_8443.JPG Features - Female Drill Artist Princess Xixi on Disruption, Standing Her Ground and Her Debut EP ‘a dolls house’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/90f1a02c-ffa5-42f8-8c38-834bae83d017/IMG_8447.JPG Features - Female Drill Artist Princess Xixi on Disruption, Standing Her Ground and Her Debut EP ‘a dolls house’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maggie-nelson-on-like-love-melding-the-personal-with-the-academic-and-the-eras-tour monthly 0.5 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d37ccb3a-8911-4691-8755-24316e2bf93d/maggie1.png Features - Maggie Nelson On ‘Like Love’, Melding the Personal with the Academic, and The Eras Tour - Make it stand out The news that Maggie Nelson, beloved writer of works spanning forms from poetry to memoir, was releasing a new essay collection this year was greeted by a flurry of excitement in the literary world. Like Love would be another book to add to the Maggie Nelson canon, which includes The Argonauts, a memoir about parenting, queer families and desire that redefined what a memoir could do and look like, and Bluets, a meditation in 240 paragraphs on Nelson’s obsession with the colour blue, but also about the end of one of her relationships. Like Love draws together various essays, interviews and pieces from over nearly 20 years, featuring characters as various as queer theorist Eve Sedgwick, songwriter Lhasa de Sala, and even Björk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/37e95c74-2045-453d-8bc4-cc800275bfa8/maggie2.png Features - Maggie Nelson On ‘Like Love’, Melding the Personal with the Academic, and The Eras Tour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dreamgirl-chapter-7-everyone-seeing-you-from-different-angles-you-couldnt-have-imagined monthly 0.5 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/359ec6fb-3e9a-4e44-9cd6-5b43536094a7/emma7.png Features - Dreamgirl Chapter 7: “Everyone seeing you from different angles you couldn’t have imagined” - Make it stand out Casey knows she does not want children, and got herself sterilised some time ago.

From Diana Ross to Diamanda Galás When Jojo Siwa invented Gay Pop, she looked at an expanse of nothingness, and said “Let there be fags,” and it was so. Thousands of them, all on Twitter, trying to destroy yet another overdeveloped former child star, as though the Free Britney discourse had never happened. Music has always been important to queer culture, and finding music that speaks directly to us has been an ongoing journey. Now, we live in an abundance of gay icons making music specifically for queer audiences and we are spoilt for choice. Chappell Roan is knee deep in the passenger seat, Charli XCX is having a little key during Brat summer, and the old gods Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are starting to awake from their slumber and talk about putting out new music. But is this all there is? The reality is that we have always had Gay Pop. We have always had music that reaches out and touches queer hearts, from the mega pop divas of the last few decades, to the disco queens of the 70s and 80s, to the misfits of New Wave and Punk, to the fringes of Jazz and Ragtime, all the way back to the legendary opera prima donnas that sent gays into paroxysms of ecstasy. And lets not forget that alongside the eternity of pop culture there have been gays meeting in protected locations and singing parodies of those songs, from DWV’s Boy Is A Bottom, to the ugly old pub drags belting out dirty limericks, to the secret gay jazz recordings of the 60s, to every strumpet up in guildy clobber in the molly houses of the 18th century, and even further back to the court jesters who made up amusing songs and played dress up to please an audience. It’s all Gay Pop. It’s always been there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8bf7ea44-5cf2-456f-840a-aebdfd859a74/diamanda+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Who Invented Gay Pop?

Detailed in shaky penmanship, it painted her thoughts on the world with an optimistic naivete. She wanted to be stronger and change things, believing she could do it through her. “Mom - what a gift life is.” It read. “We are so lucky to be alive on this planet as human beings that we must be the best we can, the kindest we can and work the hardest we can.” This empathy and desire to work hard haven’t left Pozzan’s side throughout her burgeoning career. As our conversation begins, Marta Pozzan apologises for her late arrival to our video call after being caught in the notoriously endless LA traffic. Despite our delay, she is eager to share her experiences, having just wrapped up a two-month shoot in New York for an upcoming project. “I need to be bi-coastal,” she laughs. “LA can be very peaceful, but New York was so vibrant and alive!” After over a decade on the West Coast, it’s understandable why a new city could be so invigorating to the acclaimed creative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0df43c3-996e-4d95-b791-0815139b6381/DSC_9522.jpg Features - Marta Pozzan on Creative Collaboration, the Immigrant Mindset and Working with Julia Fox - Make it stand out Dress- Del Santos | Capris- Belle | Shoes- Taottao | Sunglasses- Mykita https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7d2448e-f0d7-4a93-98b8-8cf207ab0291/DSC_9916.jpg Features - Marta Pozzan on Creative Collaboration, the Immigrant Mindset and Working with Julia Fox - Make it stand out Black tank and pants - Priscavera | Belt - Rui Zhui https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6bc82706-ee52-4cb4-abc8-2717ea9b7a05/DSC_9354.jpg Features - Marta Pozzan on Creative Collaboration, the Immigrant Mindset and Working with Julia Fox - Make it stand out Grey Outfit- Tibi | Necklace- Danny Figures | Heels- R13 | Glasses- Lexxola https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b06c1aa0-9317-4eaa-b685-d4d397118192/DSC_9762.jpg Features - Marta Pozzan on Creative Collaboration, the Immigrant Mindset and Working with Julia Fox - Make it stand out Jean outfit, boots, black leather top: R13, Belt: Del Santos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8859ac6f-6a67-468f-8bc9-c892c5f6ae1d/DSC_9744.jpg Features - Marta Pozzan on Creative Collaboration, the Immigrant Mindset and Working with Julia Fox - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce793b4a-80bb-4d9a-a8b4-62b9e6350495/DSC_9407.jpg Features - Marta Pozzan on Creative Collaboration, the Immigrant Mindset and Working with Julia Fox - Make it stand out Grey Outfit- Tibi | Necklace- Danny Figures | Heels- R13 | Glasses- Lexxola https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cruising-archaeology-smut-press monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/265f30fb-43ff-4574-b346-2d6d7059a85d/IMG_2782.jpg Features - Cruising Archaeology and the Need to Protect Queer Spaces - Make it stand out For as long as there have been cities, there have been secret places for men to meet for illicit gay sex. Forgotten alleyways, neglected parkland, overgrown bushes, even station toilets, the homes of anonymous connections are always present. Cruising is an ancient art that is in danger of being lost in this high-tech era of instant communication and app-based hookups, and that would be a tragedy. Like queer nightlife, cruising has been on the decline since the invention of the internet, but nothing can ever beat the thrill of diving into the unknown, the palpable tension of locking eyes on a dancefloor, or of walking into a clump of trees and witnessing the kind of sex that changes you forever. Places like this can become famous, but beyond some directions scribbled on the wall of a public toilet, how do we archive sites of such queer importance in the modern world? Some, like Hampstead Heath in London, or Duke’s Mound in Brighton, have historical importance and survive through tradition and word-of-mouth. Others are commemorated in ancient internet message boards, describing the layout of the land and the kind of men that go there, and at what times it gets busy. Some of the more esoteric places exist just through personal diaries, and websites like Everything Is Queer, which lets users mark memories on a map where they experienced mutual joy for all the world to see. SMUT Press, and the anonymous artist behind their newest book Cruising Archaeology, have created a new way to memorialise these liminal spaces, and the press’s co-founder Jack Scollard joined us to tell all about their latest print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e13c52a5-32d5-45c1-922b-1c7daeec7c17/Copy+of+000041120016.jpg Features - Cruising Archaeology and the Need to Protect Queer Spaces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1720620761596-9IHDUSBCC4P0YD8VUQLB/Copy+of+IMG_0830.JPG Features - Cruising Archaeology and the Need to Protect Queer Spaces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d8124965-a079-4634-851c-0762c455a92e/Copy+of+240424_Cruising-Archeology_v1.04.jpg Features - Cruising Archaeology and the Need to Protect Queer Spaces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/desire-paths-digital-shortcuts-and-the-innate-human-desire-to-self-navigate monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14aa05f7-34e3-45ca-bd2e-ba891d4d7af3/desire1.png Features - Desire Paths, Digital Shortcuts and the Innate Human Desire to Self-Navigate - Make it stand out In nature, a desire path is an unplanned trail created by human or animal traffic. These paths typically represent the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination. It's a simple concept that speaks volumes about human nature and our inherent desire for convenience and efficiency. Our ancestors carved the beginnings of a nebulous network of paths with a scythe and a will to divide - and we see the dredges of their judgement reflected in the satellite images of our urban planning decisions. But what happens when we translate this concept to the digital realm? French scientist, philosopher, and poet Gaston Bachelard coined the term desire path in his 1958 book La Poétique de l’Espace (The Poetics of Space). He described them as paths "created by usage" that pedestrians have taken to get "from point A to point B more quickly than the predetermined paths (like sidewalks) that have been put in place." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3259d9bd-85f9-46ec-8a8c-a124f6886348/desire2.png Features - Desire Paths, Digital Shortcuts and the Innate Human Desire to Self-Navigate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-2006-to-2024-a-revisionist-history-of-the-wag monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ebd9e04b-2888-4d04-82f1-64259a62ede7/wag1.png Features - From 2006 to 2024 - A Revisionist History of the WAG - Make it stand out This summer, English football has returned to our screens with the age old promise - it’s coming home. Despite a historic association with hyper-masculinity, it goes without saying that the sport is no longer solely a matter for the boys. Women have long been part of English football, but via the global success of the Lionesses, the cult resurgence of Knightley’s Bend it Like Beckham, and the increasing popularity of grassroots women’s teams and organisations like INDIVISA, the cultural conversation has never been so open to the confluence of football and femininity. Social media is awash with “guides to the Euros for the girlies” but if you should find yourself in the pub in an England baby tee and a fresh fake tan, spare a moment for the pioneers upon whose shoulders you sit. Spare a moment, that is to say, for those long done-dirty iconoclasts: the WAGS. The Euros matches marked the first international competition held in Germany since the 2006 world cup. Many speculated as to what that return will mean for the tone of the tournament, but for others, this homecoming can only bring one thing to mind. It was in Germany, in 2006, that the English WAGs were born. The frenzied heights of WAG culture feel a long way from England manager Gareth Southgate’s M&S fits, and it seems there is little room for that first generation of footballers’ wives in emerging histories of the modern match. The WAGS have no significant role to play, for instance, in James Graham’s recent and much celebrated dramatisation of England’s football team: Dear England. These women have been reduced to an embarrassing cultural footnote, permissible only in the pages of Heat magazine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8bc22095-022c-42cb-93f9-1a923e7f5776/wag2.png Features - From 2006 to 2024 - A Revisionist History of the WAG - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/introducing-non-threatening-boys-with-er-fightmaster-and-lucy-dacus monthly 0.5 2024-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65109c0b-b6ae-446b-b23c-79de13f01d6b/e.r+fightmaster+polyester+zine+front+image.jpg Features - Introducing Non Threatening Boys* with E.R.

Moving out for example, is a strange headspace to be in, with or without the confrontation of all of our packaged possessions. In the middle of my own move I started wondering, what if we could choose to get introduced to our belongings, rather than get confronted with all that we own? One of the first examples on this topic that I can remember was Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio’s photography book from 1995, titled: Material World: A Global Family Portrait. Allegedly inspired by Madonna’s hit single Material Girl, the duo selected statistically average families in 30 different countries worldwide and photographed them outside their homes with all their possessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f886935b-5433-4e8d-a059-ceeaf65cc6f5/wardrobe2.png Features - AI Stylists, Cher Horowitz’s Digital Wardrobe&nbsp;and Our Generation’s Obsession with Materialism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-composing-music-for-a-vr-feminist-film-was-a-mirror-to-my-own-life monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61d4a79f-3598-4874-8fa8-32825a4e1741/bishi1.png Features - How Composing Music for a VR Feminist Film was a Mirror to my Own Life. - Make it stand out Growing up a teen in the 1990s, finding South Asian women's representation in music, pop culture and film were the equivalent of searching for hen’s teeth. There was Sonia from Echobelly, Jas Mann from Babylon Zoo - it was very blink and you miss it, and I hadn't even begun my GCSEs when the Asian underground. The Asian Underground, in the UK referred to South Asian musicians who blended sounds from their South Asian heritage with Western underground music. This exploded from the basements of Hoxton Square into the mainstream . I would later learn that women like Sweety Kapoor, played a crucial role in inaugurating the scene, so I missed out on this seminal movement. I came decades after pioneering artists; Sheila Chandra, Asha Puthli and Tanita Tikaram. My period, vagina and sexuality were treated like they were dirty, this being a cultural norm of my Indian heritage. I was instructed to cover myself up and to deflect attention from prying eyes. The irony of ‘covering up’ couldn’t be more pronounced as I started secondary school. Upon getting my period aged 12, I was followed down the street and harassed by older men in my school uniform, day in, and day out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9da251fe-56e5-4572-ae07-7a58a19754aa/bishi2.png Features - How Composing Music for a VR Feminist Film was a Mirror to my Own Life. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-does-everyone-on-telly-go-to-private-school-the-pros-and-cons-of-making-characters-inconceivably-wealthy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea2246d1-710c-4b2f-ba97-9939bbc9da04/priv1.png Features - Why Does Everyone on Telly Go to Private School? The Pros and Cons of Making Characters Inconceivably Wealthy - Make it stand out Despite my belief that private schools should not exist, I find myself drawn to television, films and books set in these places. I - and many like me - have become eager consumers of the boarding school mystique and managed to romanticise it all for so long, despite the quite obvious red flags. Writers have given us rich descriptions of the countryside alongside the aesthetics of 16th-century buildings, uniforms accessorised with jewelled headbands and designer handbags to keep us from probing too far into why these shows are set amongst an unreachable elite. Private schools are obviously useful narratively in equal parts of intrigue and convenience. The elitism, wealth, and glamour associated with private schools create a captivating backdrop for characters and plot development. Two characters don’t want to talk to each other? Too bad, they have fencing together and also live in the same dormitory. Doing something that is potentially illegal? Much like in Get Even, a rich father can make all your problems go away with a simple donation! There is a formula to the private school drama. Take a shy, but good-looking student from a ‘poor’ background. Add in a cute love interest who is an idiot because, well, all the characters are teenagers. Throw in a few mean students who are nasty because they’re elitist - sorry, I mean because their parents hate them. A few classes here and there remind us at times that the characters are in fact at school. All of these together add up to create the perfect microcosm in which we can examine class, gender and racial dynamics we see in society wrapped up in striped blazers. And yet, so many of these shows fail to do that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9f7e5921-f067-4729-a972-99f9b0bc811e/priv2.png Features - Why Does Everyone on Telly Go to Private School?

The cult clothing brand’s new Eccentrics collection is a cheeky take on avant-garde fashion. The line includes a cigarette cardigan with hand painted ciggie buttons, a cheeky phallic skirt featuring a suggestive cactus print, and an ‘I’m Bored’ skirt that says it as it is - we’re bored with the current state of pared back, clean girl styles. Cassie Holland, one half of the sister duo that founded HADES in 2016, tells us that the spunky new designs are inspired by counter culture ideas, radical figures and history. Think Little Edie pirouetting in a headscarf through her living room, or the fur-draped Josephine Baker, or the essence of Isabella Blow’s fascinators. Our brand spanking new interview and editorial explores all things kitsch with a brand that prioritises humour in their output. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff859c43-79cc-47aa-9a1b-b9fd1f594362/hadesfinal7.png Features - HADES on Taking Fashion Less Seriously, Classism in Discussions About Taste and the Importance of Outward Expression - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33857515-1377-499b-8701-0d6df85430dd/hadesfinal3.png Features - HADES on Taking Fashion Less Seriously, Classism in Discussions About Taste and the Importance of Outward Expression - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69167ed6-eadf-4c2a-b1ed-bef2891ffaca/hadesfinal5.png Features - HADES on Taking Fashion Less Seriously, Classism in Discussions About Taste and the Importance of Outward Expression - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f23e1e9-69f1-40db-af4c-54ce7172d911/hades13.png Features - HADES on Taking Fashion Less Seriously, Classism in Discussions About Taste and the Importance of Outward Expression - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da29e267-040e-452d-bab0-201c3e8ce2f4/hadesfinal2.png Features - HADES on Taking Fashion Less Seriously, Classism in Discussions About Taste and the Importance of Outward Expression - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0259145-886b-403a-8a87-add203c034f3/hadesfinal1.png Features - HADES on Taking Fashion Less Seriously, Classism in Discussions About Taste and the Importance of Outward Expression - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ctrlshift-feminism-the-sims-4-simulacrum-and-how-to-manifest-your-dream-life monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0abbf56-6964-4819-9447-10c2cafd32c5/sims1.png Features - Ctrl+Shift Feminism: The Sims 4 Simulacrum and How to Manifest Your Dream Life - Make it stand out Welcome to the world of The Sims 4, where virtual worlds blend seamlessly with your wildest dreams and a few clicks can transform your life. Ever wondered what it would be like to have a dream job, a perfect house, or a loving family without the messiness of real life? Or you could go off the opposite end - and “woohoo” with the Grim Reaper, drown your sims in a ladderless swimming pool and kiss every townie in town. This month’s column is centred around one of my favourite hyperfixations, The Sims, and how the digital dollhouse might be the ultimate guide to manifesting your dream life. I’ve been playing The Sims for as long as I can remember. My first introduction was through my aunt’s phone — using grubby fingers to get my pixelated character to go to the loo and order pizza. Getting a PSP when I was 10 allowed me to play The Sims 2, where I could make out with maids and escape alien invasions. Amidst bottles of Diet Coke and sleepless nights, I’ve learned a thing or two about seducing women (simlish pick up lines) and dancing (flailing my arms around like a weirdo). I’m not depressed — I am simply passively manifesting my dream life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3057c895-4a7f-499d-a9d8-80cf7675585f/sims2.png Features - Ctrl+Shift Feminism: The Sims 4 Simulacrum and How to Manifest Your Dream Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dyke-renaissance-xx monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9d50280-da50-4228-8225-ab44d1f7dd86/1.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out A few months ago, lesbian chaos descended on east London at the opening of La Camoniera, a new lesbian venue on Broadway Market. The bar was symptomatic of what has been called a “dyke renaissance” for London’s nightlife – though so far, the media has only really scratched the surface, latching onto a new scene without digging deeper. To hear from those who have been contributing behind the scenes to the current moment of both volume and diversity in lesbian nightlife, we gathered queer organisers from all corners of London, and conducted a roundtable on the state of affairs right now, as well as how far lesbian nightlife has come, and where it might still go… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c3f3dbee-41b5-4d91-8088-6723e0f9b689/111.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out Xandice & Scarlett from Gal Pals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/38702173-5a84-4fa4-8157-77f2216590b9/11.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out Abi, Big Queer Picnic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1df57a5f-b662-454d-b259-c07fc687ac3c/1111.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out Nat & Emma, Meringue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0021c62e-e788-4b79-8ee9-90c26407f31d/11111.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out Nelle and Dylan Pop-Up Dyke Bar: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a693d1c1-9c56-4bdc-b6ed-69170da865fa/111111.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out Becca, STRAPPED https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ca4514f-0d68-42c3-8071-9aa412657702/1111111.png Features - The Dyke Renaissance: A Roundtable with the Queer People Leading London’s Lesbian Nightlife - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dreamgirl-periodical monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8036c02d-4fc9-4eb4-8030-75117e40c1e5/emma5.png Features - Dreamgirl - A Short Story by Emma Forrest - Make it stand out A mid-life love story arrived as my reward at the end of five years of celibate single parenting. The things I’d done alone all that time - the desire whispered late night to the moon, or removing spiders on my own - became an alchemical combination that seemed to conjure him. It was the most intensely sexual relationship I’d had. When, suddenly, at the year and a half point, he could no longer get hard with me, I had flashbacks to trying to wrangle a toddler when they’d lay down on the pavement and refuse to get up. I was meant to stay calm instead of letting my distress become palpable, thus feeding the disregulation cycle. But, in both instances, I couldn’t help it. I kept picturing myself as Tom and Jerry - naughty but harmless! - and his penis as the unseen human that leaps, screaming onto a chair whenever it spies them in the kitchen. How this shocks the leaper and the leapt at. It’s not winnable. I felt very small. Not in the turned on way of losing myself in a big man’s arms. I felt, of course, that this failure to expand him had diminished me. I felt bad about myself (surprised that there were new ways, post-divorce, to feel bad). https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/maddie-ziegler-cover-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ac5220e-ae88-4668-adc9-94e1c110c8d2/Maddie+Ziegler+x+Polyester+zine+cover+final.jpg Features - Maddie Ziegler on Growing Up, Protecting Herself and Being a Work In Progress - Make it stand out Type Maddie Ziegler into any search bar and, depending on where you are, you’ll see something different. If you’re on Tiktok, you might see her as a child, furiously pirouetting in resurfaced clips from the 00s reality TV show Dance Moms. On YouTube, you could see her hurling her body around a giant cage, or performing at the Grammys, in her pre-teen stint as Sia’s muse. Then there’s her brief spell as a best-selling author (she’s written both fiction and non-fiction) or, more recently, her burgeoning Hollywood acting career including roles in a soon released My Old Ass (2024) alongside Aubrey Plaza and the recent West Side Story (2021) remake by Stephen Spielberg. You might already be one of her 13 million Instagram followers. It’s the kind of career anyone would be proud to look back on – except she’s 21, and she’s barely even started it. “I feel so old in so many ways,” Ziegler says, with an air of embarrassment. “I just have an old soul… but it’s a very weird thing, because in a lot of ways I feel like I’ve accomplished more than I even thought I could by 21. I’m like, now what?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9eb355a4-bad6-401a-ad57-b054c7908ba8/HR-maddiez-poly-20.JPG Features - Maddie Ziegler on Growing Up, Protecting Herself and Being a Work In Progress -

Lina Soualem on Bye Bye Tiberias, Collective History and Documenting the Mother/Daughter Relationship - Make it stand out Documentary director Lina Soualem’s second film Bye Bye Tiberias, is an intimate portrayal of four generations of Palestinian women including herself and her mother, Succession actress Hiam Abbass. The daughter of two actors, Soualem’s first film as a director, Their Algeria, turns her camera on her paternal grandparents who left Algeria and settled in France. After 62 years of marriage Soualem wants to understand why they are getting divorced. Now, in Bye Bye Tiberias, Soualem tenderly interrogates what it means for a people to be forcibly displaced and the tension between her family who stayed with the ever changing land, and her mother who followed her creative ambitions to Europe. Through archival footage, homevideos and emotional interviews, Soualem reckons with exile, mourning and the necessity of storytelling. Over the course of our chat, we discussed how she confronted difficult conversations as a director and a daughter, the role of the camera in contemporary life and the art that moves her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0692f732-c4bd-4b81-b3b6-bb903990e86e/lina2.png Features - Lina Soualem on Bye Bye Tiberias, Collective History and Documenting the Mother/Daughter Relationship - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-an-american-in-paris-amp-the-origin-of-french-girl-chic monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2c0ae4bf-b82a-4cb3-9f20-24b5497d66d2/jean2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: An American in Paris &amp; The Origin of French Girl Chic - Make it stand out Jean Seberg’s legacy has been mostly relegated to Pinterest. Black and white photos of her in a striped t-shirt or black dress, her fresh face, cropped pixie cut, distinctive beauty mark and full boyish eyebrows saved to countless French Girl Aesthetics boards. If you have seen her in a movie, it is probably Breathless. Jean-Luc Goddard’s masterpiece of the French New Wave and one of the most accessible, and pinnable, movies of that era. So, how did an American girl from small town Iowa come to represent French girl chic and why has her story, which is both unlikely and tragic, become flattened in the process? Jean Seberg was a 17 year old high school student with no professional acting experience when she responded to a nationwide talent search orchestrated by controversial director Otto Preminger. Preminger was looking for a fresh new face, and a good media frenzy, to play the lead in his 1975 film Saint Joan. The casting call turned into a national spectacle, Seberg’s win a Cinderella story that fascinated the media. Preminger invited journalists to watch Jean’s screen-tests and sit in on the shaving of her long hair, cut as Joan of Arc prepares for battle. Footage of her emotional reaction to her shorn head was included in the film and heavily covered by the press. Reporters visited her home town, interviewed her friends and family and debated endlessly about Preminger's wisdom in casting such an inexperienced actress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/247b6a6a-de4a-4ac3-b4e4-4a534f675eb5/jean1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: An American in Paris &amp; The Origin of French Girl Chic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/inside-the-murky-world-of-seeking-arrangement-amid-the-cost-of-living-crisis monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/696998de-8e1c-45a3-b188-f716f6b27fe9/sugar1.png Features - Inside the Murky World of Seeking Arrangement Amid the Cost of Living Crisis - Make it stand out One of the most lucrative side hustles amid the cost of living crisis, if you believe social media, is being a sugar baby. Social media platforms like TikTok are filled with videos from young women bragging that they are getting paid thousands of pounds for nothing more than their company by much older men. As someone who has worked as a sugar baby and sex worker, I can tell you that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Sugar baby website Seeking Arrangement, which has over 46 million members, bills itself as a way to “date up” - a system of being able to filter men by their net worth and and choose potential matches accordingly. But few people are there for dating in a traditional sense. At most, they are there for a form of dating that comes without any expectations of genuine connection or feeling, called sugar dating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9fdb3390-ec6c-41c8-9620-d861eb6a34f8/sugar2.png Features - Inside the Murky World of Seeking Arrangement Amid the Cost of Living Crisis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/team-black-till-the-day-i-die-house-of-dragons-bethany-antonia-on-forming-allegiances-being-an-only-child-and-wielding-crossbows monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fbc37d11-b6f8-40fc-b692-41e89aab6ee6/sharp5.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out House of the Dragon is back on our screens this summer, boasting a sprawling season full of drama, blood, guts and dragons’ breath. The crux of the new series lies in the complex web of lies and allegiances across our favourite group of blonde inbreeders, the Targaryeans. It’s especially interesting to chart their growth since last season’s finale, where revenge and destruction seem to be the theme this season. Despite the chaos, one character is already making waves as the fierce and unyielding Lady Baela Targaryen: Bethany Antonia. You might recognise her from her roles on hit television shows like Get Even and Stay Close and now, the Game of Thrones spin-off series. With her characteristic shock of grey curls, cross-bow and disdain for her father, Daemon Targaryen, Baela is set up for a strong season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/455658fb-2ef8-417e-b33e-5c3583cdf499/beth21+copy.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out - Make it stand out Dress: House of Bazaare | Earrings: Aloe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c9e02e9-3e40-4e34-ba43-5fb9219f295d/bethanyhearts.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e8288e3-8703-4d69-a808-950b47df0d06/sharp2.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out - Make it stand out Shirt: JUNNA | Skirt: Bazaare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c5a2c67e-704e-4f8c-bd51-54e7b34bd5b2/sharp3+%281%29.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c069527e-8b9f-4dee-a639-13c8ab521e71/sharp4+%281%29.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out - Make it stand out Shirt: Two Point Two | Skirt: Celine Kwan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a04c845-8699-409e-ade2-9bca64db2340/sharp1+%281%29.png Features - House Of The Dragon’s Bethany Antonia on Forming Allegiances, Wielding Crossbows and Coming Out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/polyesters-queer-guide-to-glastonbury monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/475e7d0b-3168-400d-b172-59f3c1769b33/queerglasto.png Features - Polyester’s Queer Guide to Glastonbury - Make it stand out If you have never been to Glastonbury picture yourself arriving on day one wide-eyed, clean and optimistic. By day two you are Paula Radclyffe pooing behind a tree and carrying on during the London Marathon. By day three you are Leonardo Di Caprio in The Revenant. By day four, you will take what you think is your last breath, and then realise that you can’t, because you have to leave and somehow get home. At Glastonbury, you will find yourself surrounded by every slice of society, playing the type of music they like and you don’t next to your tent. This is the beauty and joy of the festival, a new age, go-with-the flow and open minded spirit that ambitiously aims to offer something for everyone, and by everyone, we mean 200,000 people travelling in by coach from all four corners of the UK. In 2024, there will be more queer and trans events and areas than ever before. From Shangri-La to Scissors, filled to the brim with DJs, drag queens and bands like Pillow Queens and Mannequin Pussy, it can be confusing to work out what is and isn’t queer on the extensive line-up, as well as where you’ll fit in, and how to locate some downtime away from the dancefloor. Below is the Polyester guide to the many queer and trans-focused goings-on across the festival, including cinema screenings, political talks and performances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b47cbf22-d5d3-4b0e-b94b-c104c1959e6c/queerglasto2.png Features - Polyester’s Queer Guide to Glastonbury - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/let-them-scissorwhy-bridgerton-needs-sapphic-representation-now-more-than-ever monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dde02438-1598-411e-b858-34e598363c48/bridge2.png Features - Let Them Scissor: Why Bridgerton Needs Sapphic Representation Now More Than Ever - Make it stand out Bridgerton has everything: corny violin covers of Pitbull songs, dialogue that helter-skelters with modern speak and odd out-of-place Georgian phrases, and Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk as a staple for the Regency Era women. I didn’t think I needed Anthony Bridgerton saying, “What am I, chopped liver?” (a 20th-century Jewish phrase) or an influx of iPhone faces dressed in pastel before the Shondaland production hit streaming. Still, you don’t tune into the smash-hit Netflix show for historical accuracy. Instead, you let the low stakes wash over you as Mayfair’s finest steal kisses in orchards, frequent the Modiste dress shop, and swig lemonade in sparsely decorated but grand ballrooms. Released in 2020, Bridgerton is Shondaland’s first scripted show for Netflix, adapted from Julia Quinn’s book series of the same name. It paints an alternative vision of Regency England with Black characters among the social elite, and the series follows the Bridgertons, a family of siblings navigating love, scandals, and friendships, narrated by the elusive gossip columnist Lady Whistledown - the pseudonym of Nicola Coughlan’s character Penelope Featherington. It’s like Gossip Girl meets The Crown with a generous sprinkle of Shonda Rhimes’ dramatic flair. Where else can you indulge in swoon-worthy dialogue and lace-trimmed corsets? It’s often tongue-in-cheek, but Anthony Bridgerton's season two speech went double platinum in my household. “You are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires” deserves a standing ovation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d6dc478-3b49-44bd-976c-bedc124a6d06/bridge1.png Features - Let Them Scissor: Why Bridgerton Needs Sapphic Representation Now More Than Ever - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-do-we-want-to-save-the-monsters-carmilla-and-the-culture-that-both-loves-and-loathes-her monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c13b13b8-322b-422d-8822-373c98edf6c5/carmilla1.png Features - The Original Female Vampire: Carmilla and the Culture That Both Loves and Loathes Her - Make it stand out Vampires are back and in a big, big way. From the recent TikTokification of Twilight to the mockumentary hijinks of What We Do In The Shadows, to the small screen return of Anne Rice’s Interview with A Vampire, vampires are now more deeply ingrained than ever in the pop culture canon. Vampires, in popular culture’s view, are no longer the historical demons that bump in the night and steal away virginal girls. Now, they are the kinds of characters that pack theaters and fill the press, now more akin to pop culture gods. And at the center of it all, presiding over the cacophony of the culture a la Rachel McAdams’ Regina George in Mean Girls is Carmilla. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77869e1d-68e9-4133-b08e-ba78fae8a654/carmilla2.png Features - The Original Female Vampire: Carmilla and the Culture That Both Loves and Loathes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/an-ode-to-james-spader-the-king-of-unconventional-romance monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/455bed97-7013-49b9-b638-51955ff6d5ea/james1.png Features - An Ode to James Spader: The King of Unconventional Romance - Make it stand out Posterboy for left-of-centre, elusive men and object of affection for movie mavericks everywhere, James Spader is my favourite actor. Commanding the screen big and small for nearly 50 years, Spader has managed to carve a unique place in Hollywood where he makes his own rules and leaves a truly singular path of inimitable roles in his wake. In today’s entertainment landscape, there don’t seem to be any working actors who hold a candle to what Spader perfected so naturally in his prime: The role of the beautiful, complicated, sex-positive male lead with a pretty boy softness and morally ambiguous set of values. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5bef375a-26dd-4461-8742-fb154007c136/james2.png Features - An Ode to James Spader: The King of Unconventional Romance - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-solaris-world-on-a-wire-and-the-allure-of-vintage-science-fiction monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02a69e63-fb4d-4c9f-91d7-a1ac0ce3c742/scifi1.png Features - Film Fatale: Solaris, World on a Wire, and the Allure of Vintage Science Fiction - Make it stand out I actively disliked the sci-fi genre for the longest time. The cold structures, grandiose spacecrafts, and narratives often requiring an intimate knowledge of a wealth of lore bored me. It also intimidated me, as someone who loves to shout about the things they enjoy, all it would take is one slip up of an alien beings’ complex middle name and the nearest Funko Pop hoarder guy would give me a “Well, Actually!” And there is nothing I hate more than a man’s “Well, Actually” tripping me up whilst I’m being earnest. As a 21st-century girl, I want 21st-century stories of layabouts, the streets of New York, busted cars, and a landscape that is not too different to the one outside my window. I discussed this specifically in last month's column - where I gushed over the personal comforts of Pet Semetary (1989) - I want to somehow directly relate to what I’m watching. And whilst that is a standard practice, it is also quite small-minded and possibly narcissistic. A large part of my hatred of sci-fi spouted because I made no attempt to see how these stories of other worlds compared to my own and how impactful the genre is for the history of film and culture. I was blinded by Star Wars fanatics and my own assumptions. A simple shift of perspective, and suddenly I have been cooped up in my room trying to find another dystopian whirlpool to watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/be8071b4-db6a-4180-a0f7-5bf583eb5087/scifi2.png Features - Film Fatale: Solaris, World on a Wire, and the Allure of Vintage Science Fiction - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-pleasures-of-online-research-and-the-labour-of-googling monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0595efb3-f5be-46ad-aecf-2061ad312707/google1.png Features - The Pleasures of Online Research and the Labour of “Googling” - Make it stand out Monitors lit the room with the dim glow of their screens which all projected the same image: pink and purple hues stretching in rays over a star speckled midnight-blue sky. The aluminium finish of the then latest Mac desktops lining the desks of the library’s computer lab highlighted the newness of my high school, which opened its doors in 2008, my freshman year. Though the majority of classroom computers were the bulky black Windows PCs we were familiar with, the acquisition of the Apple Macs along with other new tools such as SMART boards and projectors signalled an embrace of the coupling of tech advancements with education - as well as a higher property tax in comparison to neighbouring school districts. These classroom additions promised an ease in teaching, implying in turn an ease in learning. We gathered yearly in the Apple-fied library lab for our annual refresher on the best research practices. These primers had occurred since elementary school, when we were taught the differences between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. In middle school the lessons had evolved as we were introduced to databases like JSTOR, which allowed us to scour hundreds of academic journals. The advent of public internet search engines like Yahoo! Search, Ask Jeeves, and the soon to be ubiquitous, Google, introduced boundless streams of digital material that simultaneously rendered knowledge more accessible and muddied the terrain with misinformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b859b2fe-63a0-45b0-88a4-fcfd71c9e8c2/google2.png Features - The Pleasures of Online Research and the Labour of “Googling” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mud-and-the-city-finding-empowerment-through-filth monthly 0.5 2024-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6f00fef9-0d6e-4705-89d6-60039f5fd6c3/mud1.png Features - Mud and the City: Finding Empowerment Through Filth - Make it stand out The inceptive night of Miss Bill’s Bikini Kill, a night of feminist mud wrestling, comes into its own by the second fight. The crowd, a mix of friendly, fiendish sapphics and gallerist types in expensive outerwear, swell their volume to a holler. Domina, a revelatory band providing musical accompaniment alongside Bruno and the Outrageous Methods of Presentation, conjure a sinister, Moog-infused sonic cloud. The fighters emerge, remove their hot pink robes - names embossed in cursive across the back - and step bikini-clad into a paddling pool’s worth of mud. For a moment, they slip against the hazard tape. Then, the pin-drop: the referee counts down, the synths crescendo, the girls find their footing. I’m reminded of the Yardbirds brawl from Blow-Up (1966), studded with riot grrrl teeth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35a4b02f-6691-46d7-9e7c-92c5acd34cbd/mud2.png Features - Mud and the City: Finding Empowerment Through Filth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-on-pride-month-queer-baiting-and-the-dearth-of-gay-celebs monthly 0.5 2024-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acbd6797-d6d5-44a8-a9bc-6e2bb33391a1/marsha+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Pride Month, Queer Baiting and The Dearth Of Gay Celebs Well gals, we finally made it; it’s finally summer. The sun sets after 9, Aperol flows in street-level beer gardens, and the dormant sunshine slut that lives inside many of us is waking up after a very wet winter. It’s also Pride Month, which in many ways is even less tangible than the tentative british summer. I don’t really believe in Pride Month, it seems just like an American invention that now happens everywhere because the USified Internet said so. Pride Month means corporate sponsorships, God-awful viral rainbow Pride collections at Target, and the embarrassingly recurring jokes about how next month will be Gay Wrath. I’ve been waiting for Gay Wrath for years, but no one wants it, they just go home after the drag brunch.

Here’s our conversation, alongside some exclusive BTS imagery from the “Far Out” shoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/96103497-83bd-41a8-ad33-8650aa1cf448/IMG_9259.JPEG Features - Gretel on Goth, Existentialism and Her New Single “Far Out” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3845bf4e-a2b5-475b-bcb6-21e8bc6ef7ac/IMG_0197.JPEG Features - Gretel on Goth, Existentialism and Her New Single “Far Out” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/560bbe1f-d49d-4603-b006-e54633b00580/IMG_1076.JPG Features - Gretel on Goth, Existentialism and Her New Single “Far Out” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4cd23ad4-02f8-46ee-812c-71c96caa8b45/IMG_1172.JPG Features - Gretel on Goth, Existentialism and Her New Single “Far Out” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/when-motherhood-becomes-a-construct-interview-with-director-marie-amachoukeli monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db01cde8-354e-4500-a8bf-f63e9bd0b96e/ama+glora.png Features - When Motherhood becomes a Construct - Interview with director Marie Amachoukeli - Make it stand out When little Cléo is separated from her nanny Gloria in director Marie Amachoukeli’s Ama Gloria, she cannot cope with her absence, and oscillates between sadness and tantrums. Eventually, they are reunited in Cape Verde, Gloria’s homeland, where the two get to spend some time together before their final goodbye. What sounds like a sweet coming of age story has a much darker and far more serious background in history and economics. The reality is that most full-time nannies in France who take care of middle class families’ kids aren't able to take care of their own. The emotional trauma that ensues on both sides is a taboo topic, and it is delicately unraveled by Amachoukeli throughout her film. Here she tells us about stylistic choices, false maternal instincts and why we should broaden our concept of family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/391057ec-f4af-42d6-af14-adff1be6331a/ama+glora2.png Features - When Motherhood becomes a Construct - Interview with director Marie Amachoukeli - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/legacy-russell-wants-you-to-think-critically-about-black-memes monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/399a0912-812a-4636-84f1-dacced9f8549/legacy+russell.png Features - Legacy Russell Wants You to Think Critically About Black Memes - Make it stand out In her new book of essays, Black Meme, curator and writer Legacy Russell compellingly argues that Blackness is not just a cultural identity, but a driving force behind the evolution of digital culture. Through the lens of Black Meme, Russell explores the transmission of Blackness as a viral agent in the digital landscape; Consider the reaction images peppered throughout your social media timelines, the music that underscores the banality of TikTok dances online, and the GIFs that loop over and over for eternities. This transmission, she contends, occurs both online and offline, often without Black consent or compensation. Yet the internet’s obsession with Black culture isn’t new - before the Oprah GIF and Tiffany “New York” Pollard reaction images came a harmful circulation of Black virality that predates cyberspace. Born and raised in New York City, Legacy Russell is the Executive Director and Chief Curator at The Kitchen, an experimental arts institution. Her first book, Glitch Feminism, started as a groundbreaking essay featured on Rhizome, debuting in a video format before being commissioned as a full-length collection of essays. Black Meme, similarly, started as a lecture and video piece critiquing the construction of digital virality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/296a47e2-2cff-4e71-89c8-e17984f014ba/legacy+russell+2_.png Features - Legacy Russell Wants You to Think Critically About Black Memes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/machine-chic-how-hardware-is-shaping-visual-culture monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b674a903-ab2d-42b4-aec3-edd1176ee834/machinechic.png Features - Machine Chic: How Hardware is Shaping Visual Culture - Make it stand out When Hunter Schafer's Vogue spread was released last month, one image in particular sparked a heated discussion on Twitter. Schafer is reclining on a plush carpet, head perfectly propped on a square pillow, wearing delicate ballet-slipper socks by Marni. She’s posed like a Renaissance angel, but instead of a gilded flute, she’s holding a Nintendo Switch. Commenters overlooked the immense power of product placement, as discourse mostly consisted of gamers questioning if she was accurately depicting someone playing it. Yet the in shot Nintendo Switch perfectly encapsulates Schafer’s position in pop culture: a youthful, playful, modern hero of today’s society. With her far-away look, she could be either contemplating all she’s faced in her role as an activist or what’s currently transpiring in the palm of her hands. The image as a whole, thanks to the addition of the handheld console, is a celebration of varied forms of entertainment, self-expression, and luxury. Who do we traditionally see holding these devices? Schafer breaks through the system. It also may be a subtle Easter egg to fans who want her to play in the live-action Legend of Zelda. Either way, it’s part of a broader phenomenon, where machines hold more than just system memory but also messages, themes, and new layers of meaning when used in visual culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06b0968e-58e4-4070-af1c-2c34227f1f7f/machinechic2.png Features - Machine Chic: How Hardware is Shaping Visual Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-pleasures-of-the-lowly-beryl-cooks-sticky-carpet-art monthly 0.5 2024-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c0ae399-5f1a-4e84-963f-4d08f6696298/beryl.png Features - The Pleasures of the Lowly: Beryl Cook’s Sticky Carpet Art - Make it stand out In 2022 the Acapulco Nightclub in Halifax sold sections of its carpet to enthusiastic punters past and present. The ‘Mighty Acca’, where drinks cost 75p, claims to be Britain’s oldest nightclub, and like many similar institutions, is a vast repository of social histories, intimate and shared. It is these histories that people sought to retain a scrap of when, within an hour of the sale being announced, over 100 pieces of the carpet had been sold. It was black, though naturally lightly stained, and memorable for the garish swirls that adorned it. Most crucially of all, it was notoriously, gloriously, sticky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e088af95-602b-44f3-bb78-ba18e2ff061f/beryl2.png Features - The Pleasures of the Lowly: Beryl Cook’s Sticky Carpet Art - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/is-tarottok-repackaging-patriarchal-messaging monthly 0.5 2024-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c004ab4e-8f3a-41e9-8ea9-c8f11ac9f237/tarot2.png Features - Is TarotTok Repackaging Patriarchal Messaging? - Make it stand out “If you’re watching this, it’s meant for you; no hashtags, no captions.” A couple of tarot cards slide between the manicured fingers of a TikTok Tarot reader. Then, flack, flack, flack, the cards hit the table. “Three, three, three, on the timer,” she says. Anticipation lingers. A card flies out of the deck. It’s picked up and flipped toward the camera: it’s The Fool, upside down. “Someone”, she notes, “is reminiscing on past times with you.” Six minutes pass and you’re still watching; you barely notice. You’re on your own in your bedroom, gazing into the blue pixelated glows of an iPhone screen, along with the 1.4 million others who watched that same video. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd0b9dda-0742-48fd-b842-60376bfe673b/tarot1.png Features - Is TarotTok Repackaging Patriarchal Messaging? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/misery-complexity-and-thinness-the-hidden-holy-trinity-in-sad-girl-media monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e6604c0e-f24f-44ec-95e1-b5b378bdaf41/sadgirl1.png Features - Misery, Complexity and Thinness: The Hidden Holy Trinity in Sad Girl Media She's a morose character who just wants to be understood. Her speech is self-consciously poetic. She denies herself happiness by continuing to yearn from a distance for an ex who repeatedly stumbles back into her path, just to add to the misery of her situation. She's a #sadgirl, and, crucially, she's thin. Over the past decade, there has been a wave of character pieces in literature which follow this same basic formula. The label ''sad girl lit'' is a bit crude, but what novels like Acts of Desperation and My Year of Rest and Relaxation interrogate and profess to lay bare is the complexity of misery, the tragedy of suppressed intelligence, the dissatisfaction inevitable with modern-day monotony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c34b40b-f934-4e7a-8ac7-267aa9e112d7/sadgirl2.png Features - Misery, Complexity and Thinness: The Hidden Holy Trinity in Sad Girl Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/vanderpump-rules-selling-sunset-and-the-complexities-of-the-reality-tv-woman monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0514da30-1f8a-46f4-b668-9b42ca5af9b6/vadnder.png Features - Vanderpump Rules, Selling Sunset and the Complexities of the Reality TV Woman - Make it stand out Vanderpump Rules features a cast with the types of characters that viewers have come to expect from 2010s reality TV. We have Scheana, the new girl with a “salacious past” accused of being a “husband-stealing, fame-whoring piece of shit”. She rivals Stassi, the “mean girl” overbearing girlfriend, accompanied by her minions Katie and Kristen. The woman who lends her name to the title, Lisa Vanderpump, is tasked with maintaining order. Having been a television icon for over a decade, she has learned to pick her employees based on the criteria demanded by reality TV, not the hospitality industry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ac919ca-a0c0-499c-97ae-69855da1173f/vander2.png Features - Vanderpump Rules, Selling Sunset and the Complexities of the Reality TV Woman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/self-love-is-important-but-its-not-the-key-to-romance monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/158798cc-6416-434b-a8d1-4b203884c643/love2.png Features - Self-Love Is Important. But It’s Not the Key to Romance. - Make it stand out Newly single, I've been once again confronted with society's message loud and clear: singleness is a problem to be solved. Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO of Bumble, recently discussed a near future where AI consultants handle our love lives. These consultants would supposedly analyse our personalities, needs, desires, and find compatible matches. This scenario is both bleak and plausible because it preys on a fundamental truth: most of us crave romantic love. This desire is so powerful that it's fuelled a lucrative industry for figures like Wolfe Herd and self-proclaimed dating experts. Our yearning for love is so profound, it was always going to end up being monetised. I have a complicated relationship with love. Rom-coms and my Nicholas Sparks phase at secondary school instilled a dreamy vision of romance in me from a young age: meet-cutes, grand gestures, and happily-ever-afters. But life didn’t match the fairytale. I've been single for most of my adult years, and for a long time, I felt really insecure about that. My rose-tinted view on relationships left me chasing butterflies and ignoring red flags. I can’t help but wonder if growing up with a more grounded perspective on love would have helped me better navigate or avoid my last relationship entirely. So today, in the wake of my first breakup, I’m deconstructing my faith in love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bf23291e-f550-4f68-b437-63f366077a1a/love.png Features - Self-Love Is Important.

I’m sitting across the sewing table from my friend, Alice, flipping through vintage pattern books. This is the first time I’ve socialised with her one-on-one. Mentally searching for a topic that will elicit a response and connect us, I ask her how dating is going. She tells me she’s recently had her heart broken at least once, but it seems to me like it was maybe twice. The online dating era is really wearing on all my single friends. I pay thousands of dollars a year for therapy because dating is decimating my self esteem. An anxiety mushrooms in my mind that I’ll grow old without finding my person, but it seems better than growing old with the emotionally unavailable men our mothers and grandmothers accepted. “My backup plan is just to Grey Gardens it,” I say, which is to say, ‘I feel sort of hopeless but I want to transform my seemingly inevitable lifelong dearth of romantic love into something that feels joyful in its own way.’ Alice nods solemnly, “I love that movie.” A moment later, I notice the DVD on her shelf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbb3527e-f2de-4ded-8967-750673a924cc/grey2.png Features - The Enduring Allure of the Fantasy of Grey Gardens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-maklouba-to-musakhan-how-social-media-is-keeping-palestinian-cuisine-and-culture-alive monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c916fe8f-ed42-49fa-b13d-82063e190103/palestine1.png Features - From Maklouba to Musakhan: How Social Media Is Keeping Palestinian Cuisine and Culture Alive - Make it stand out That recipe that you are making at home right now, what was it? Was it a recipe for hummus? Did the TikTok that you got the recipe from specify it as Israeli hummus, Palestinian hummus or a middle eastern dip. I can certainly assure you that the latter two of the three options ring truest, but why does it matter who can claim hummus and who can’t? The answer lies within the chasm of genocidal occupation and the importance of gastronationalism (nationalism of food) in a time of brutality. From Manaeesh to Maklouba to Musakhan, many food creators are not only recreating accurate recipes of Palestine’s most adorned dishes, but are also spreading awareness of Gaza through their voiceovers and donation links. This small act of resistance has big cultural and political implications - it is an urgent matter of not letting culture and cuisine get hijacked, appropriated or died out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/019622e9-bf4a-4fca-8499-973db48b1196/palestine2.png Features - From Maklouba to Musakhan: How Social Media Is Keeping Palestinian Cuisine and Culture Alive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/real-life-bites-photographer-nicole-ngai-on-the-tests-and-trials-of-the-darkroom monthly 0.5 2024-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/477f3e39-cf1c-47d4-a9f7-e1ab773e3839/nicole+collage.jpg Features - Real Life Bites: Photographer Nicole Ngai on the Tests and Trials of the Darkroom - Make it stand out Come with me on a trip to the darkroom.

But on a shoot day like this one, I usually like to get dressed in something casual, comfy and easy to get in and out of, since I’ll be doing that all day.

It’s pretty unreliable, especially if you don’t come from money or aren’t a supermodel or influencer or celebrity, but it has also taught me so much about patience and not taking things too seriously or personally. Sometimes you work every day in a row and sometimes there is a month in between shoots. Because of this, it can be difficult to find a sort of structure for yourself. The time I’ve documented here was one of those waiting periods. Sometimes a day is just rotting in bed watching a film one after the other or some silly show in one go, but not every day can be like that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/29739fde-5add-4f5d-bbf7-b5eeb2ae62ad/yasmin+2.png Features - Real Life Bites: Model Yasmin El Yassini on the Unstructured Beauty of Her Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e7b87db-0de2-4730-8d39-a444d1f38052/yasmin+1.png Features - Real Life Bites: Model Yasmin El Yassini on the Unstructured Beauty of Her Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3efe6c93-e3fb-4978-8d63-cff5eaac5da6/yasmin+9.jpg Features - Real Life Bites: Model Yasmin El Yassini on the Unstructured Beauty of Her Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f88587f1-a171-45d0-8a0b-c80a8e36059f/yasmin+3.png Features - Real Life Bites: Model Yasmin El Yassini on the Unstructured Beauty of Her Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/485e3118-fe52-499c-b5aa-83b13095ec3a/yasmin+5.png Features - Real Life Bites: Model Yasmin El Yassini on the Unstructured Beauty of Her Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9efd99c4-c2cd-43d4-b2cd-7fdf7330b0b8/yasmin+8.png Features - Real Life Bites: Model Yasmin El Yassini on the Unstructured Beauty of Her Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/real-life-bites-photographer-chloe-sheppard-on-the-chaos-and-inspiration-beyond-the-frame monthly 0.5 2024-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/85691c9c-2a92-4959-a4ab-9a31e5d7e605/chloe+collage.jpg Features - Real Life Bites: Photographer Chloe Sheppard on the Chaos and Inspiration Beyond the Frame - Make it stand out My day always begins with my cat. If she doesn't end up waking me up by stepping on me, she's the first thing I look for when I'm awake. She's an older cat, came to me 3 years ago, and ever since she's been one of the best parts of my day. Having her has made me somewhat more stable and given me a real sense of purpose and commitment, which I hope to translate into my creative practice too.

The days have blurred into one, leaving me unable to recall exact moments until they pop back into my head with full clarity alongside a gutteral punch of grief. What I do remember is that I woke each morning frantically gasping for air. Perhaps in some strange kinship with my mother, my lungs stopped working the moment right before I pushed back into consciousness. I kicked and thrashed, clawing my way out of one nightmare right into another. My room looked the same - with haphazardly placed posters on the wall and a stack of clean clothes that needed sorting - but something always felt off. And then it clicked - I was here alive and my mother was not. It took me some time to look at myself in the mirror again. I feared recognising her facial features in my smile and dimples. My hair was a greasy mess from the amount of oil and slick buns I tied it in during hospital visits. Hair wasn’t something I wanted to think about during her month-long hospital stay. The first half coincided with a freak September heatwave, which meant braids to make the constant back-and-forth visits easier. The second began with a hospital call at 8 AM to confirm she had been put into a medical coma. There was no time for hair care then - a bun had to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1a560520-2e2e-48fe-b0c3-c4ab64982206/dye2.png Features - I Stopped Dying My Hair After My Mum Died: A Story Of Finding Myself Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/running-away-with-the-circus-chappell-roan-through-the-lens-of-angela-carter monthly 0.5 2024-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0ce9405-878f-489e-888e-1c6ec902b48d/chappell1.png Features - Running Away with the Circus: Chappell Roan Through the Lens of Angela Carter When I was a teenaged girl, I wanted to run away with the circus. Not the actual circus, where I had been as a kid, and peed my pants in the big top. Not the circus where skinny young men with bare chests pushed girls around in the waltzer cups. I wanted to run away with the other circus, the place of magical delights and dreamy sexuality I had read about in Angela Carter’s stories, and of course, in her novel, Nights at the Circus. I’m talking about the circus where an aerialiste grows real wings. Where freak shows and runaways travel alongside the company of lion tamers and acrobats. The kind of glitzy, gothic place where a lonely teenage girl - whose only friends are in books - can find something so completely magical that it feels real. To clarify: I didn’t want to learn to tightrope walk, or to learn any kind of skill, really. And I certainly wasn’t interested in getting up early and shovelling elephant shit all day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a22744e9-395c-4215-9bf2-4015688e8b18/chappell.png Features - Running Away with the Circus: Chappell Roan Through the Lens of Angela Carter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/melissa-barrera-cover-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1716462384273-VEA8UFB0ENQV3X8SHJGF/melissa+barrera+cover.png Features - Melissa Barrera on Ballet Horror Abigail, Her Love for Ireland, and Speaking Out for What You Believe In - Make it stand out “Wait, you’re from Ireland?

She’s sporting one of those big trendy green scrunchies in her hair, a fitting accessory for our discussion of the Emerald Isle. Barrera doesn’t love Ireland in the annoying, almost infantilising way the internet does. On the contrary, Dublin is where her latest movie, horror thriller Abigail (2024), directed by Matt Bettnelli-Olphin and Tyler Gillett, was filmed. It was also the place where Barrera experienced profound healing and witnessed life-changing solidarity, not just towards herself but towards the people of Palestine, as Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/344d1af9-e52b-4313-8c62-589a464a738c/MB_7+%281%29.jpg Features -

Ctrl + Shift Feminism: Embracing the Ugly with Ann Hirsch and Maya Man - Make it stand out With an increasing emphasis on always looking perfect, it’s no surprise that our culture rewards ‘effortless’ beauty over perceived ugliness. With the ideal becoming more and more specified and unattainable - like the eponymous Instagram face - does embracing the ugly become a subversive act? Enter stage-right artists and collaborators Ann Hirsch and Maya Man, whose work focuses on themes of aspirational femininity on the internet. Born out of frustration with the watered-down commodified feminism that’s been popular online over the past few years, they wanted to make something as a reaction to the commercialisation of women's liberation in the NFT world. “We wanted to make an NFT collection that didn’t just represent us, but embody us,” said Maya. They went live with their first collaboration in January 2023, an NFT collection titled ‘Ugly Bitches’, aimed at pushing back against this ‘empowered women’ rhetoric that is twisted into selling things to women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/366a69a1-a42e-40a6-8e20-31e08b47127b/cyber11.png Features - Ctrl + Shift Feminism: Embracing the Ugly with Ann Hirsch and Maya Man - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cinema-for-gaza-and-creative-solidarity-towards-a-free-palestine monthly 0.5 2024-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9495fab8-cf40-4814-a542-ecc03d688fd4/cinemaforgaza.png Features - Cinema for Gaza and Creative Solidarity Towards a Free Palestine - Make it stand out The desire to act – to do something, anything – is a beautiful and natural human response to witnessing relentless scenes of sadistic colonial violence. The Israeli government’s ongoing military genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip has unleashed a grassroots Palestine solidarity movement that cannot be quelled, not by American riot police storming campuses and not by the dead-eyed grind of ‘business as usual’ politics in Westminster. I have never felt a stronger urge to act than over the last seven months. My neurodivergent-flavoured instinct to hide at home was overruled by an unprecedented moral clarity. Years ago, my brother was a journalist based in Ramallah and in 2019 my father went on a humanitarian visit around the West Bank organised by the Israeli Committee Against Housing Demolitions. Both relayed the daily barbarism of the Israeli occupation and the conditions of apartheid under which Palestinians live from the West Bank to East Jerusalem to Gaza. Like millions across the world I knew that the Israeli reaction to the October 7 massacre was not, as a parade of politicians insisted, “self-defence”, but rather a terrifying escalation of their 76-year-long project of ethnic cleansing. And so it has been. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a303f62a-4956-4156-9fda-6c5e643aaecd/cinemaforgaza2.png Features - Cinema for Gaza and Creative Solidarity Towards a Free Palestine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/blythe-doll-mania-collection-customisation-and-online-community monthly 0.5 2024-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1972098-037a-41b5-b263-f9f37d530e74/blythe.jpg Features - Blythe Doll Mania: Collection, Customisation, and Online Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story Over the past year, dolls have become a part of the cultural zeitgeist once again. Greta Gerwig's Barbie (2023) release brought doll and girlhood discourse to the forefront, while the resurgence of Y2K aesthetics in the early 2020s inspired a Bratz rebrand geared toward the chronically online generation. Among niche internet fashion circles, another doll's image has quietly circulated, growing her cult following over time, and her name is Blythe. Unlike Barbie and Bratz, growing up with a bunch of Blythe dolls to play with would be a rare occurrence for any regular girl. Since 2001, the dolls have only been available on the Japanese market, and acquiring one in the Western world would have required either being an internet savvy child with great taste and access to an adult’s Paypal, or having a parent with equally fantastic taste, who would have been able to bring you one home from a trip to Tokyo. Blythe was never a doll that little girls begged their parents for; she was a rare item that only collectors - and older teens and adults who frequented platforms like Flickr, Tumblr and MySpace - would know to look for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7fa5a4f-bcdf-4d1f-ae4f-578600385a40/blythe+2.jpg Features - Blythe Doll Mania: Collection, Customisation, and Online Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-substackers-to-stylists-how-microcelebrity-culture-took-over-the-internet monthly 0.5 2024-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27beaf70-c994-47be-aa5a-fb95c28e1bc1/microcelebs1.jpg Features - From Substackers to Stylists: How Microcelebrity Culture Took Over The Internet - Make it stand out While marketing agencies carefully pick, create and nurture new influencers to launch in the online world, sort of like industry plants, users are slowly leaving the long standing stars of the web to pick a new kind of person to worship next - the microcelebrity. A microcelebrity is a small-scale influencer targeting a narrow audience by building loyalty through specific content.

As part of a rebrand – and in order to introduce a fundamental change in the app’s workings, whereby for heterosexual daters, men are now able to initiate conversation with women, when previously it was only woman-identifying users who could start a chat – the company mounted a huge marketing push. This took aim at the idea that women, dissatisfied with dating apps, were choosing to take “vows of celibacy”. The campaign struck a weird note – “You know full well a vow of celibacy is not the answer” their screamingly massive billboards in cities like Los Angeles and New York read – which bothered different people for different reasons. Firstly, Bumble has users who are happily celibate, who felt misunderstood and undermined. Secondly, there was something accusatory in the messaging: lots of women who date men in particular report dissatisfaction with their experiences on dating apps, and the Bumble campaign seemed, in some way, to blame them for it (even though these frustrations can stem from everything ranging from underwhelming dates and sex, to dangerous behaviour from men that women meet up with). The brand has since apologised for the billboards, and taken them down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8594693-b340-402e-a212-c6fced2ff231/bumble2.jpg Features - The Bumble Fumble Shows How Dating Apps Misunderstand Their Users - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-why-gloria-swanson-is-the-ultimate-gay-icon-part-2 monthly 0.5 2024-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/25d64945-3223-42a1-90f0-3f8159ef8e2f/norma+1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why Gloria Swanson is the Ultimate Gay Icon, Part 2 - Make it stand out Last month I started talking about why Gloria Swanson is one of the greatest gay icons to have ever appeared on film. We got a good round up of her career, her place in the genesis of Hollywood and the context around her volcanic return to film in the 1950s, but her performance as Norma Desmond herself deserves a little more exploration. In this period of Hollywood, a star’s persona and the roles they played were often interwoven, one informing the other. The idea of “disappearing into a role” didn’t gain popularity until much later, stars were their own archetypes; the femme fatale, the ingenue, the dragon lady, the Cinderella story. The biggest danger actresses faced was ageing, which the studio associated with declining box office figures. In the words of timeless chanteuse Elaine Stritch in Sondheim’s epic I’m Still Here “First you’re another sloe-eyed vamp, then someone’s mother, then you’re camp.” This observation is echoed by Goldie Hawn’s character in 1996’s First Wives Club; “There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.” Maiden, Mother, Crone, the eternal cycle, the myths and realities of the triple Goddess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c5c41ea4-94d8-48a2-b5aa-76f7c59d43f0/norma+2+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why Gloria Swanson is the Ultimate Gay Icon, Part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sylvia-plath-didnt-die-for-this-the-internet-is-misconstruing-historys-favourite-tortured-poet monthly 0.5 2024-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27fdebb7-77e5-45a7-be30-639e95bacc43/fig+2.jpg Features - ‘Sylvia Plath Didn’t Die for This” - The Internet is Misconstruing History’s Favourite Tortured Poet - Make it stand out During the height of my manic depression in 2021, I dyed my hair yellow-blonde, stayed awake for hours on end and treated the Sylvia Plath diaries as my personal bible.

It is them against me. My landlords, who are a married couple. My former closest friends of the school parent group. When, after holidaying together, the wife wrote me a letter about no longer wanting to be friends with me she made a point to say it included her husband. It was so shocking and bewildering, I wondered if I had slept with him behind my own back. Being triangulated in this way makes me feel unanchored and out of control - like I’m close to losing it at the school gates, or that I may draw on the walls of the rental.

Just like those sickly nostalgic TikTok videos where birds are tweeting and the images are of hazy fields - shot close to the ground that evoke the experience of summer as a child - the warming of the seasons makes me think back to what I did best during those beautiful days when I was younger: sit in my room and watch horror films. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9f21ee6-c98a-474c-9e4e-9c0852675e8a/pet2.png Features - Film Fatale: Small Towns, Stephen King and Cinematic Grief - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/barf-bags-and-banana-stickers-collecting-rubbish-as-a-subversive-act monthly 0.5 2024-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d2ab1839-cb41-4c7c-98fd-f2125c29c9a3/sticker+2.jpg Features - Barf Bags and Banana Stickers: Collecting Rubbish as a Subversive Act - Make it stand out A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a Reddit subreddit called r/collections. I usually write about museums and I was looking for some strange institutional conglomerations - what I found instead was a litany of personal enthusiasts, sharing their hyper specific interests with each other, calling into the void and getting a response. I'd written about personal collections before, but only after they had been enshrined by institutions, sometimes several hundred years after their conception. Something about the subreddit felt precious and immediate and I started to dig deeper. I've been asking myself for years what legitimises objects as worth collecting and where their agency lies. The answers to these questions are often contradictory and always loaded with histories of empire, colonialism, and possession. I thought, maybe naively, that online collecting communities might offer a different side to this coin - a way of reclaiming material culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/80e6d5ec-69fa-4d9e-9270-d25edb70b063/stickers.jpg Features - Barf Bags and Banana Stickers: Collecting Rubbish as a Subversive Act - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/chelsea-wolfe-on-rebirth-witchcraft-and-embracing-the-liminal monthly 0.5 2024-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/853507e0-72e4-4571-8c19-feef197461f9/chelsea12.png Features - Chelsea Wolfe on Rebirth, Witchcraft and Embracing the Liminal - Make it stand out Combining tenderness with droning guitar, Chelsea Wolfe is an artist who crosses genres. From curating a specific musical style of her own, the artist has accumulated an array of listeners - from traditional metal fans, to folk appreciators, to enjoyers of ambient sounds. Her lyrics are deeply personal, imagery gorgeously monochrome and Wolfe’s work has had a constant focus on the otherworldly - it is clear why she garners so many dedicated listeners; she offers atmospheric sounds which are almost therapeutic to listen to. Wolfe has released her seventh studio album: She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, honing in on themes of rebirth, the in-between spaces of life and an embrace of fear. Ahead of her show at Heaven, I had the pleasure of photographing and chatting with the musician about dreams, witchcraft and working on one of the most notable horror series of the last decade, Ti West’s X (2022) and its highly anticipated follow up MaXXXine (2024). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aade8242-5092-49f7-b707-10c0df100692/chelsea7.png Features - Chelsea Wolfe on Rebirth, Witchcraft and Embracing the Liminal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cd0926b1-021f-4c42-9201-6080eb6933f3/chelsea5.png Features - Chelsea Wolfe on Rebirth, Witchcraft and Embracing the Liminal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8087d787-e0dd-4fd0-a02a-2444a0dfbb76/chelsea10.png Features - Chelsea Wolfe on Rebirth, Witchcraft and Embracing the Liminal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b95bced-d26a-4c1d-8c2f-2ae780a313e2/chelsea6.png Features - Chelsea Wolfe on Rebirth, Witchcraft and Embracing the Liminal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc2de128-e338-4acf-98ad-dccddfc52269/chelsea4.png Features - Chelsea Wolfe on Rebirth, Witchcraft and Embracing the Liminal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-designs-of-sinad-odwyer-worn-by-the-people-who-know-and-love-them-best monthly 0.5 2024-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b79befb1-2640-451c-9ef4-d7535f3eb2db/Skye+1.jpg Features - The Designs of Sinéad O’Dwyer, Worn By the People Who Know and Love Them Best - Make it stand out Groundbreaking designer Sinéad O’Dwyer makes clothes designed to make the wearer feel good, no matter their body type.

Edenic idealisation notwithstanding, it’s a city engineered against its own environment. It is eternally engaged in elemental warfare, doggedly weathering constant physical upheaval and insisting on predator apologism. Coyotes roam college campuses and mountain lions haunt the foothills. The once unruly L.A. river is encased with concrete to keep it from devastating its surroundings. Pollution haze casts the city in surreal, soft light and poisons you slowly. Simultaneously, Hollywood legend exists in stark contrast with the despair and disparity the city is beset with. Los Angeles remains self-enchanted all the same, intoxicated on itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13d5bbbf-e297-4997-b9b2-e4f8ce7982fe/lana2.png Features - Swan Song: On Lana Del Rey, Los Angeles, and The End of the World - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/pro-palestine-protests-through-the-lens-of-audre-lordes-the-uses-of-anger monthly 0.5 2024-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd8c3243-971f-4acc-b2c9-f08b18a1b1c2/aud2.png Features - Pro-Palestine Protests Through the Lens of Audre Lorde’s ‘The Uses of Anger’ - Make it stand out Our inner worlds are portals to understanding our selves, our emotions and our creativity. “Anger is loaded with information and energy,” states Audre Lorde, self-described ‘Black lesbian, mother, warrior and poet’ at the National Women’s Studies Association (NSWA) annual conference in Storrs, Connecticut in 1981. The early failures of the NSWA were protested by women of colour due to its racism and failure to include people of colour in their conversations. In the 1984 collection Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches, Lorde informs us about the productive function of our anger - that our fury can be virtuous and female-defining; she posits deconstructing the patriarchal model of anger as simply “destructive”. Myisha Cherry, philosopher and professor who specialises in writing on emotions, calls this specific form of anger “Lordean rage”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83a7975c-e558-4bcf-82e6-3882915763fa/aud.png Features - Pro-Palestine Protests Through the Lens of Audre Lorde’s ‘The Uses of Anger’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/curator-tarini-maliks-on-the-venice-biennale-fighting-imposter-syndrome-and-navigating-the-art-world-as-a-woman-of-colour monthly 0.5 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c6a2cb32-9fec-49a9-8659-d3b38ca5b050/tarini.png Features - Curator Tarini Malik on the Venice Biennale, Fighting Imposter Syndrome and Navigating the Art World as a Woman of Colour - Make it stand out The art world is notoriously exclusive in a manner that seeks to celebrate its own elusivity. I’m not talking about the artists themselves here, but those that consume the art. Attending an exhibition has a cast of characters that have been parodied thousands of times. The snobs, the obscenely wealthy, the people who discuss the work loudly in long words without reaching any kind of tangible point. It’s intimidating accessing these spaces as someone without the vocabulary or historical knowledge of art, primarily due to the company that the art world keeps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1cd629d9-ab20-4333-aa81-ce790325cecb/tarini2.png Features - Curator Tarini Malik on the Venice Biennale, Fighting Imposter Syndrome and Navigating the Art World as a Woman of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-listening-all-night-to-the-rain-john-akomfrah-explores-the-fluidity-of-memory-childhood-and-representation monthly 0.5 2024-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9458191-915e-40ac-b619-dec03a4f568f/john1.png Features - In ‘Listening All Night To The Rain’, John Akomfrah Explores the Fluidity of Memory, Childhood and Representation - Make it stand out For his 2024 British Pavilion commission at the Venice Biennale, John Akomfrah looked to running water to represent the cultural nuances of different British diasporas. The layered complexity of the footage and audio that makes up the exhibition adds to a legacy of work that Akomfrah has been building upon for over forty years, where he has continually utilised new artistic methods alongside archive finds to hammer home points not only about the disparities and commonalities between all cultures across Britain, but the impact of our environment on our communities. The theme of water in Listening All Night To The Rain is poignant in its ability to evoke emotions, memories and the passing of time - an undeniable factor in shaping our culture through reflection on our histories as well as our hopes for the future. Speaking with Akomfrah on the opening of the Venice Biennale, we expressed the need for earnest enjoyment and serenity in the art world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f6aa4b1-48b6-49ad-8c79-f7e092c2ae17/john2+%281%29.png Features - In ‘Listening All Night To The Rain’, John Akomfrah Explores the Fluidity of Memory, Childhood and Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/six-sexs-guide-to-writing-club-bangers monthly 0.5 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c811b6d9-8e02-4bf9-a4c2-e82783e83352/image00010.jpeg Features - SIX SEX’s Guide to Writing Club Bangers - Make it stand out Argentine artist SIX SEX has been dominating the club soundtracks of South America since 2019, when her upbeat tracks laced with dual notions of revenge and humour on her debut EP Fantasy first dropped on the scene. SIX SEX has been throwing out bangers ever since and 2024 has ushered in the era of Satisfire, a return to the electronic influences from her first EP and a homage to the Latin club anthems that have always inspired her work.

An unstoppable, counter-cultural juggernaut, Hoyle has been blessing us with his divine oratory since the 1980s, and he is certainly showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. An unforgettable presence - sometimes described as an anti-drag queen - I prefer to think of Hoyle as an avant garde expressionist, a sort of monstrous cabaret artiste steeped in surrealism and radical politics, an end-of-the-pier socialist showgirl crossed with the physical embodiment of righteous rage, dancing in her scanties on some of the finest stages across the world. Wherever Hoyle is is the place to be for the cool queer underground. He is, as the kids like to say, MOTHER. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/979b2f57-8c6b-47eb-825f-8c634976d954/david2.png Features - David Hoyle on the Equality of Beauty, Queer Icon Status and Starting a Revolution - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/autofiction-and-emotional-capitalism-the-tortured-poets-department-and-i-love-dick monthly 0.5 2024-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c11be946-4c45-4fc2-a795-2dcf2b1d7f82/taylor2.png Features - Autofiction and Emotional Capitalism: The Tortured Poets Department and I Love Dick - Make it stand out “Hyperbolic” is how Taylor Swift describes her latest ‘double’ album The Tortured Poets Department: “It’s about a dramatic, artistic, tragic take on love and loss”. Everything within – and around – the album seems to have been figured through this lens of excess. Over 31 exhausting tracks, it delves deep into Swift’s failed relationships: with partners; fans; friends; enemies. She has often leveraged emotion as an economy – and made literally billions out of it – and TTPD is her most knowingly self-absorbed album yet.

The poet - and screenwriter-to-be - has been wrestling with religious shame, pop culture, and public grief for some time now. Her poems, tiny ethnographies of Black millennial neuroses, have earned her the title “The Bard of Black American Loneliness.” In her most recent work, and first essay collection, You Get What You Pay For Parker has internalised Saidaya Hartman’s truism “I, too, live in the time of slavery, by which I mean I am living in the future created by it.” The essays are interested in the forces that turn Black subjectivity into objectivity, but these are personal texts too - Parker also lives in the time of streaming and self-help for single 30-somethings. Parker is a rare thinker who shares subject specialties with Bridget Jones and Zora Neale Hurston. Parker speaks to me from her LA home via video call about the You Get What You Pay For book tour, contorting high school trauma to fit narrative structure, and how a friend becomes your agent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56f267f2-e538-40d0-81d7-29e7152528fa/morgan2.png Features - Morgan Parker on Past Selves, Moving Home, and Teen Movie Cliches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dont-call-it-a-comeback-notes-on-the-lohanaissance monthly 0.5 2024-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3676cd4d-e0e2-44ec-910a-f073966cd216/lindsey2.png Features - Don’t Call It a Comeback: Notes on the Lohanaissance - Make it stand out Of all the Y2K girlies to dominate my headspace growing up, Lindsay Lohan has a permanent residence in my frontal lobe. Several snapshots feel formative to my coming of age: Lindsay as Hallie Parker in 1998’s Parent Trap serving butch realness wearing a green bomber jacket and annihilating bunkmates at a Camp Walden underground poker game; Lindsay baring a strip of perfectly toned midriff on almost every one of her movie posters from the years 2003-2007; Lindsay flashing a bedazzled (and court appointed) ankle monitor; Lindsay riding in the front seat of Paris Hilton’s car. At 37, she’s just five years older than me, and yet, Lindsay feels permanently frozen in time, forever oscillating between spunky preteen, homeschooled jungle freak, and paparazzi princess. A play in three acts.

Saccharine phrases that allude to the purported radical, feminist quality of the witch, such as “We are the granddaughters of the witches they couldn’t burn,” are plastered on placards or lazily printed onto t-shirts and tote bags. In the 90s, films and television like Practical Magic, The Craft and Sabrina The Teenage Witch positioned the witch as a girl-next-door type that happened to possess powers and had a penchant for sarcasm, apothecaries and black cats. More recently, mainstream witch stories fall into the “good for her” genre in which a newly emancipated figure exacts her revenge on a man who has wronged her and, by extension, exacts symbolic revenge on the patriarchy. In most cases, the Western witch is also represented as a conventionally attractive, white, suburban, middle-class woman, sweeping under the rug the relationship between witchcraft and North America’s indigenous population. Its feminist reclamation also often glossesover the darker roots of the witch, the gendered politics at play and the reality of witch trials that are still prevalent in some parts of South Asia and Nigeria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2dc6c256-f3b8-4b35-ad87-742e1c77999c/witch1.png Features - Gunter, Whimsigoth and How Portraying Historical Witches as Empowered May Be Harmful - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-cocktail-season monthly 0.5 2024-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/511f6f7c-8d8b-4d68-8f12-40539ac3710c/cocktail2.png Features - Love Bite: The Endless Joy of Cocktail Season - Make it stand out Every year it happens; usually around this time. Just as the nights start to get a bit longer and you start transitioning out of your big coat, into your slightly smaller jacket, there’s a shift. You start actually wanting to leave the house after work, instead of hibernating under your duvet, and life becomes a bit of an occasion again. And as winter slowly morphs into spring, another change happens too - we leave pints season behind and move into something fruitier, sexier, and much more fun: cocktail season. This year, I knew, unmistakably, that cocktail season had begun because it announced itself in my life via one very specific but undeniable marker, which I came across online. Recently, at the Hollywood Bowl, a memorial concert for the musician Jimmy Buffett (the man responsible for the song Margaritaville, and then later on, the actual real life chain of Margaritaville bars and restaurants, with branches across the world) took place. Buffett died late last year, and he was known for his “tropical rock” sound. He was, by all accounts, an altogether goodtime guy, who was also very beloved and respected, and massive artists like the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi and Sheryl Crow showed up to perform at the concert – which aptly carried the title “Keep the Party Going” – to pay tribute to him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97f4fefe-4d15-4d34-ac91-6210033c9723/cocktail1.png Features - Love Bite: The Endless Joy of Cocktail Season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ctrlshift-feminism-on-cyberfemme-folklore-amp-tiktoks-rebrand-of-late-capitalism monthly 0.5 2024-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0166942-ee08-4c3f-83b5-50704f0dafd9/cyber1.png Features - Ctrl+Shift Feminism: On Cyberfemme Folklore &amp; TikTok’s Rebrand of Late Capitalism - Make it stand out I’ve never known a life without the internet. From the pixelated depths of internet lore to the fleeting trends that sweep past us faster than we laughed at them, I've traversed the vast expanse of online culture - occasionally pausing to reminisce about the golden days of Tumblr - yet amidst the cacophony of deep-fried memes, incel rhetoric, and political polarisation, there's a glimmer of hope. A patch of digital greenery where a flower blooms despite the chaos; a glimpse into what the future of the internet could look like. In a world where technology serves as both a catalyst and a canvas for change, the intersection of feminism and technology emerges as a profound and transformative force. At the heart of this exploration lies Donna Haraway’s seminal text, the Cyborg Manifesto, which dared to paint a utopian vision of a genderless future. Cyberfeminists passionately embrace this vision — a future where technology transcends its role as a tool, becoming a potent force for societal transformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28cc34e0-7d6c-4227-a8a0-39aba92eb54f/cyber2.png Features - Ctrl+Shift Feminism: On Cyberfemme Folklore &amp; TikTok’s Rebrand of Late Capitalism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-the-pervasiveness-of-surveillance-is-reflected-in-art-our-society-and-ourselves monthly 0.5 2024-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27e51afc-bb41-49f4-a370-4122842408ae/surv2.png Features - How the Pervasiveness of Surveillance is Reflected in Art, Our Society and Ourselves - Make it stand out Born with parents posting every important moment of their lives on social media, Gen Alpha and their predecessor Gen Z are not attracted to spending their days on the internet. What once was a media landscape ruled by perfect personal feeds and self-branding is now slowly shifting to an internet of ghosts: watching each other age, opaque information, a self-sabotage of our online personas, a constant fear of not choosing wisely enough what we should publish and what we should keep private. In her essay Spam of the Earth: Withdrawal from Representation (2012), visual theorist and artist Hito Steyerl predicted this state of fear, considering how the constant surveillance promoted by phone cameras and CCTV circuits — not to mention, social media, web browsers and apps collecting and selling all of our data — will make people “refuse to constantly be monitored, recorded, identified, photographed, scanned, and taped”. Steyerl added, “Warhol’s prediction that everybody would be world-famous for fifteen minutes had become true long ago. Now, many people want the contrary: to be invisible, if only for fifteen minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5cea05f-5aab-4420-aeae-c45d2c06c34e/surv1.png Features - How the Pervasiveness of Surveillance is Reflected in Art, Our Society and Ourselves - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/video-exclusive-poetry-by-campbell-king monthly 0.5 2024-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/29156c9e-a9ae-4575-9097-dbca1688fd29/IMG_4548.jpg Features - Video Exclusive: Poetry by Campbell King - Make it stand out In this video directed by Declan Kelly and Grace Phillips, musician and poet Campbell King shares a brand new poem exclusively with Polyester. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/narcissus-online-the-echo-chamber-of-endless-reflection monthly 0.5 2024-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f8ff701a-73eb-4535-bf0a-96047e8901ef/mirror1+%281%29.png Features - Narcissus Online: The Echo-Chamber of Endless Reflection - Make it stand out I have never looked at my face more than during the peak months of the pandemic. University classes were online, and during every Zoom meeting half of my attention would be on the tiny box in the lower right corner. As the months passed, I found that the version of myself staring back at me was twisted and strange — I could feel that the behaviour of the real self versus the mimicry of the online self was different, but I could not see it — and then I spiralled. According to an article published in the NIH (America's National Institutes of Health), mirror-gazing, staring at your reflection for a sustained period in low lighting, "produces the apparition of strange faces". These hallucinations may involve seeing monsters, deceased bodies, melting skin, and relatives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/819ae200-8a70-4857-8bb8-e7d9b2d133f8/mirror2+%281%29.png Features - Narcissus Online: The Echo-Chamber of Endless Reflection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sukeban-girls-this-series-reinterprets-1970s-japanese-schoolgirl-gangs-in-new-york-city monthly 0.5 2024-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/921ba7ac-6f3a-4bf3-a7c8-63376facc321/Copy+of+img20230816_20420125.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Two schoolgirls lean on each other with their eyes closed, city lights like muted stars behind them. Sandy Liang bows on their head, they open their eyes, their thoughts seemingly far away. The video repeats like a GIF, as the girls stand against the cityscape. Creative director Anna Theroux Ling had worked with the model Minami Gessel previously and a few years ago, Minami approached her about a project on a modern interpretation of Sukeban Girls, a term which was used to refer to girl gangs in 1970s Japan, who they see as It Girls in their own right. Last year, a random conversation with her friend Emily May Jampel, a film director made Anna feel that it was the right time to embark on the project. ‘Sukeban Monogatari’ portrays certain glimpses from the lives of two schoolgirls, taking the form of short moving images or even GIFs. Creative directed by Anna and directed by Emily, this photo and video project was exhibited at Nowhere, New York. Here, the two creatives get into a conversation about being sukeban, school uniforms and It girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3a62971c-3d09-4d3e-8824-716a35439a93/Copy+of+img20230816_20323207.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb82d310-64c9-49c8-a17f-ab1a8e1c1f42/Copy+of+img20230818_14024235.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/849be7ff-a412-4831-91b2-4e100adeefeb/Copy+of+img20230816_20542722.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee1a4b7d-dfdb-4334-8dfa-3d00927f807d/Copy+of+img20230818_14043718.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4da2576e-6c7a-484d-a577-81c85583fd9b/Copy+of+img20230830_20443770.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1ee5e230-47d8-4a7d-b727-b50826500308/Copy+of+img20230816_20495650.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7523bc46-41f8-49ac-8d84-c7d83f3fa3b1/Copy+of+img20230818_13522607.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5313b049-c981-4f6e-a8c6-2635068e3872/Copy+of+img20230818_13263572.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6a4fbad-cc96-4d0a-8378-3ca7585f1b94/Copy+of+img20230818_13205648.jpg Features - Sukeban Girls: This Series Reinterprets 1970s Japanese Schoolgirl Gangs in New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/loving-the-world-alvina-chamberland-in-conversation-with-eliot-duncan monthly 0.5 2024-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a321986a-35a5-407f-a58c-e005390d2977/image00002.jpeg Features - Loving the World: Alvina Chamberland in conversation with Eliot Duncan - Make it stand out When I first read Love the World or Get Killed Trying, I felt a vivid and loving proximity. Alvina’s work stays with me in its shimmering, wild propensity for broad, spirited joy despite being the aim of violence again and again. At the Berlin launch of my debut novel Ponyboy this summer, she agreed to read from her highly anticipated English language debut. She was effervescent, kind and present even as she read the stark and brutal opening to her novel, confidently waiting for the audience to settle before proclaiming: ‘NO’. That’s what I adore about Love the World, and Alvina. There’s an insistent and smiling lightheartedness that doesn't look away, deny or censor the dark the world casts. Alvina so generously shows readers, in an immersive, stream of consciousness genius, that to be a transsexual is to love the world at all, gnarly costs. Alvina and I discussed her English language debut, trans literary lineage, her SCREAM-of-consciousness prose style and loving men. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/779b7db0-e921-44e9-9467-6899f99be55d/image00015.jpeg Features - Loving the World: Alvina Chamberland in conversation with Eliot Duncan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55820123-6d7f-4fe5-90c3-88a97759813a/image00005.jpeg Features - Loving the World: Alvina Chamberland in conversation with Eliot Duncan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67ea813f-71c9-4e90-96b5-bf87d7345921/image00009.jpeg Features - Loving the World: Alvina Chamberland in conversation with Eliot Duncan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/45ed1605-c88d-4511-9b5f-42d92e3981c5/image00006.jpeg Features - Loving the World: Alvina Chamberland in conversation with Eliot Duncan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28cc5d80-7a79-45e3-a778-df402705cc1c/image00011.jpeg Features - Loving the World: Alvina Chamberland in conversation with Eliot Duncan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-from-barbarella-to-klute-how-hair-liberated-jane-fonda monthly 0.5 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/560a0b0c-f66d-4e1d-917b-b8eeb734cbd0/jane1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: From Barbarella to Klute, How Hair Liberated Jane Fonda - Make it stand out Has any haircut symbolised a change in a star’s persona more dramatically than Jane Fonda’s transformation from the fluffy butter blonde mane of Barbarella (1968) to the chestnut brown, heavy, layered shag of Klute (1971)? For Fonda, the cut symbolised her own evolution; the profound changes she was initiating in her personal life and her political consciousness. For much of the public, the whiplash from seeing their sexual fantasy rejecting their gaze in such an abrupt way felt like a betrayal. Especially whilst Barbarella was still in cinemas. In Barbarella, director and Fonda’s then-husband Roger Vadim, portrayed his wife as a literal sex symbol. As in, truly a symbolic personification of his own ideas about sex rather than a fleshed out character with personal motive. The long cotton candy textured blonde bouffant visually associated her with Vadim’s ex-wife Brigitte Bardot, placing her into the classic canon of 60s sex kitten bombshells. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49561a8b-5ff4-4a68-af73-763e633a0e14/jane2+%281%29.png Features - Beauty Archivist: From Barbarella to Klute, How Hair Liberated Jane Fonda - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fags-slags-and-ladettes-classed-femininity-in-the-art-of-sarah-lucas monthly 0.5 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/679b3ad2-5438-4b70-86ee-65fdd29a419e/Self-Portrait+with+a+Mug+of+Tea+%281993%29.png Features - Fags, Slags, and Ladettes: Classed Femininity in the Art of Sarah Lucas - Make it stand out In 1993, so the much-told story goes, Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin set up The Shop. In a former dental surgery in Bethnal Green, the two artists sold ashtrays covered with Damien Hirst’s face and t-shirts with ‘HAVE YOU WANKED OVER ME YET’ printed in bold black. The stint was funded by the infamous Charles Saatchi, and, depending on your perspective, came to represent the beginnings of either a democratised and playful British new wave, or a cynical commercialisation of working-class culture. These debates trundle on, but faced with photographs of the two women from the day they signed the lease, pint glasses in hand, a jukebox in the background and grins unapologetically full, one thing is certain. A newly lucrative model for working-class femininity was emerging in Britain, and it would partly be performed against the backdrop of the art world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41c85fc2-4538-40f3-b839-eecaba824cc4/Self-Portrait+with+Fried+Eggs+%281996%29.png Features - Fags, Slags, and Ladettes: Classed Femininity in the Art of Sarah Lucas - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-celluloid-sisters-theological-final-girls-and-the-year-of-the-nunnbsp monthly 0.5 2024-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d755e3d4-9d32-4cd0-89be-739617aab86f/nun1.png Features - Film Fatale: Celluloid Sisters, Theological Final Girls and the Year of the Nun&nbsp; - Make it stand out Two of the most innate themes in cinema are religion and women’s suffering. You ask your local film bro what their favourite movie is, and they say Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal (1957), and in the same breath, Ari Aster’s Midsommer (2019). It makes sense. Both faith and female suffering are perceived as fateful: curiosity about what lurks in the clouds controlling us all has led to the perception of the unruly woman, doused in sin from the day she tasted the forbidden fruit. Her suffering is a requirement for any and all good religious storytelling. When you put worship and the pain of womanhood together, you get the nun film, or as the trope is often titled, nunsploitation. A long line of works spanning from over one hundred years of cinema - from The White Sister (1923) and Haxan (1922) to Immaculate (2024) and The First Omen (2024) - depicting chaste, veiled women in religious doubt, tragedy and occasionally, ecstasy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5be0ee7d-86e7-4913-a656-7fd6121b2577/nun2.png Features - Film Fatale: Celluloid Sisters, Theological Final Girls and the Year of the Nun&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/detailing-yuko-tatsushimas-canvas-the-artist-behind-the-inspiration-for-the-internets-scariest-creepypastas monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6e5402c-ff01-4acb-b88c-e09f0f7d7623/yuko.png Features - Detailing Yuko Tatsushima’s Canvas: The Artist Behind the Inspiration for the Internet’s Scariest Creepypastas - Make it stand out A masterpiece synonymous with female rage is Artemisia Gentileschi’s iconic painting Judith Slaying Holofernes - as the sword cuts through Holofernes’ flesh, you see Artemisia’s spirit living through Judith, severing the head of her convicted rapist Agostino Tassi. This visceral portrayal of righteous anger resonates across centuries. We see echoes of it in the works of infamous artists like Aleksandra Waliszewska, where female figures embody a spectrum of emotions – vulnerability and vengeance, innocence and monstrosity, creating a uniquely charged atmosphere of female rage. When I came across Japanese painter Yuko Tatsushima’s grotesque works, I could sense that all-too-familiar feeling of repressed wrath washing over me. If Gentileschi's rage simmers with righteous fury, and Waliszewska depicts touches of haunted desolation, then Yuko Tatsushima's work explodes with a potent blend of both outrage and a profound sense of feminine vulnerability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/75bcaee5-a540-4954-9433-dd072457dd85/yuko2.png Features - Detailing Yuko Tatsushima’s Canvas: The Artist Behind the Inspiration for the Internet’s Scariest Creepypastas - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/intimacy-through-the-looking-glass-how-the-internet-changed-our-experience-of-relationships monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d08d2072-c6be-4b48-9d13-b453e4071284/digital+1.png Features - Intimacy Through The Looking Glass: How the Internet Changed Our Experience of Relationships - Make it stand out “It’s like being in a relationship with two different people, it makes me so anxious.” By all real measures, Ana*’s relationship with Max is strong. But for Ana, who grew up in the social media era, this is not always enough. Max is a ‘bad’ texter, and the anxiety this causes her is sometimes so big that it taints the happy, in-person moments of their relationship. Is this normal relationship anxiety? Or does the language of digital closeness have a stronghold on Gen Z’s experience of intimacy? We often hear about the loneliness epidemic among the young. At this point, we also take it for granted that there is a correlation between the rise of social media and growing isolation for young people. The problem is not just that technology has fostered distance between peers in an IRL setting, but the role that social media has had in defining the way we relate to our friends and loved ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7fabdf7a-b483-47aa-8d26-da7399f32923/digital+2.png Features - Intimacy Through The Looking Glass: How the Internet Changed Our Experience of Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/new-york-5am monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/856928b2-cae2-4c1f-bc1c-5a211019cefb/16.jpg Features - New York, 5am is the Editorial Celebrating the Foreigner’s Perspective of the Big Apple - Make it stand out New York is a melting pot where every corner tells a story: This shoot focuses on the daily life of a New Yorker who dresses their best wherever they go.

As the Sephora Annual Sale looms, the internet is deinfluencing at full throttle. By deinfluencing, we mean the internet’s recent stance against the onslaught of makeup advertising, with beauty influencers displaying their makeup vanities stuffed with every shade of lipgloss under the sun. The 'Unsexy Beauty Products I Swear By' trend seems to be the public’s way of pushing back, with influencers suggesting ten different, affordable brands for every expensive cult product. Like Alice, I wonder if the beauty rabbit hole will ever end. The Sephora Sale, which is currently ongoing, is fuelled by posts by influencers and magazines creating ‘beauty editor picks’ and ‘staff picks’ to promote sales under the guise of the holy grail, the tried and tested and declutter videos. In her novel Made-Up: A True Story of Beauty under Late-Stage Capitalism, author Daphne B discusses the Holy Grail practically, comparing it to a “knight of Arthurian legend”. Her understanding is more poignant now than ever: ‘aren’t we all just knights tasked with a sacred mission: to find ‘the perfect product, that sacred merch tailor made just for us’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7a1c97c5-4dc0-44e1-8bc2-482e28034e35/beauty1.png Features - ‘Unaesthetic, Unsexy Products’ Could Be the Final Straw of Late-Stage Capitalism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dreamgirl-chapter-4 monthly 0.5 2024-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02b5b536-5342-4198-a583-f47653fa897b/emma4.png Features - Dreamgirl Chapter 4: “I don’t think she remotely feels she’s done all the things she wants to do.”&nbsp; - Make it stand out When I am with Casey, I think of a friend’s story, how he was once on Concorde and Keith Richards was the passenger seated next to him. Not wanting to gawp, he made sure never to look in Keith’s direction, which he found stressful for a long flight. Near the end, they ended up in terrible turbulence, so bad he was frightened they might die. At this point, Keith Richards poked my friend in the ribs and and said: “I’ve done everything!” But I don’t think that’s how Casey feels. Though she is serious about her ethical polyamory, her lovers she maintains in different cities, I don’t think she remotely feels she’s done all the things she wants to do. I ask if she can feel an alternate reality where she pursued rock climbing instead of sex work. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/is-rupauls-drag-race-the-opiate-of-the-masses monthly 0.5 2025-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/15deb403-3478-4a62-9673-6b919f0f3c8d/drag1.png Features - Is RuPaul’s Drag Race the Opiate of the Masses? - Make it stand out The sixteenth merry-go-round of RuPaul’s Drag Race just came to an end.

Oh, and I think there’s also a Belgian season on air. Even for the hardiest of fans, the onslaught of Drag Race has become relentless. It takes me back to late afternoons on Christmas Day.

While these days she is best known for her presenting work, fame initially came to her under different circumstances. Between 2005 and 2009, Madison – at the time a Playboy Playmate, and a girlfriend of the Playboy’s founder Hugh Hefner – starred on a show called The Girls Next Door, which arrived on the E! network in the US at around the same time The Osbournes was going gangbusters for MTV. Madison, however, was not an actor. Just as The Osbournes followed the exploits of Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly, The Girls Next Door simply shadowed her as she went about her life, along with her fellow Playmates Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt. As they travelled the world, attending rhinestone-encrusted Playboy parties and triple-handedly raising the market value of Juicy Couture, these women were also forging a path that would come to change culture as everyone understood it. They were becoming three of the first ever reality TV stars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79daf042-cbfb-409b-a1c7-2a636d413a29/HollyMadison_2.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Jewellery: Mondo Mondo | Top: Karolina’s Kingdom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb86569e-4a8f-4c9e-b688-d66335568fc5/HollyMadison_1.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Dress: Jasmine Erbas | Stole: Vex Latex | Heels: Jeffrey Campbell | Earrings: Sterling Forever https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02fdae8e-7c7b-4a9b-bf95-2ad1ea427540/HollyMadison_7_1.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/146c4693-23b0-40b9-83c5-6f959e4562e4/HollyMadison_23_1.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Dress: SOLANGEL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b9a3314b-1db4-47d7-926d-c6a7ac59ed79/HollyMadison_20.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Hat: Cecilio Castrillo | Top: Tako Mekvabidze | Ring: Mondo Mondo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ba89573-98ef-42c1-b9ef-f5e63cbf661f/HollyMadison_29.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Dress and Belt: Namilia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d42f3ae-2379-48a8-b533-08b092149e28/HollyMadison_15.jpg Features - Holly Madison on Y2K Celebrity, True Crime and Demystifying Sex Work - Make it stand out Jacket: Helen Anthony | Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Mesh Top: Tako Mekvabidze https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-why-gloria-swanson-isthe-ultimate-gay-icon-part-1 monthly 0.5 2024-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/373d2d74-44c2-4776-8602-fb3143a4fa22/gloria+copy+1.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why Gloria Swanson isthe Ultimate Gay Icon, Part One - Make it stand out What becomes a legend most? This is the question I asked the last time I wrote about overlooked Gay Icons, and it remains the question I ask myself daily. When Blackglama first launched its record breaking advertising campaign, they collected stars as if they were Pokemon cards and displayed them for all the world to see, to be impressed by their reach and connections. The original cloutbombing. What do they all have in common? What connects Bette Davis, Gisele Bunchen, Diana Vreeland, Ray Charles? What becomes a legend most? Of course, the correct answer was that they all wore Blackglama fur coats, the finest mink American dollars could buy, but a more subconscious answer was that all of these icons of industry shared that inimitable quality that made them stars in the first place. If you look at a catalogue of stars, surely stardom can become quantifiable? No. Stardom is more esoteric than that, and the qualities of Icons are even more mysterious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/25f38b30-ca9e-47ed-a36f-55627dd53972/gloria+copy+2.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why Gloria Swanson isthe Ultimate Gay Icon, Part One - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/desperate-housewives-at-20-and-the-reimagining-of-suburbia monthly 0.5 2024-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8cb2f52c-66ee-423f-92a8-d382e351b2a0/housewife1.png Features - Desperate Housewives at 20 and the Reimagining of Suburbia - Make it stand out Twenty years ago a fictional cul-des-sac appeared on the small screen in living rooms across America and changed the face of television forever. That street was Wisteria Lane in the fictional American suburban town of Fairview, the set of a new ABC Studios show created by Marc Cherry called Desperate Housewives. A pop culture moment was born; one which redefined what it meant to be an all-American housewife, by holding a mirror up to apparently idyllic suburban living and challenging the parameters of the domestic space. In the two decades since, following a post COVID-19 society redefining what it meant to stay at home and online content of the momospheregaining significant traction, the role of the female homemaker is once again a source of division within political and feminist rhetoric. Termed by experts as radicalised domesticity, the rise of new online domestic personas is a hark back to more traditional notions of the domestic sphere, which shows such as Desperate Housewives sought to satirise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2e1fbd8c-70f0-4fb0-8740-fa6b5a45238b/housewife2.png Features - Desperate Housewives at 20 and the Reimagining of Suburbia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sickly-sweet-falling-in-love-with-baking-madeleines-pistachio-cake-amp-more monthly 0.5 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/73332475-0d8d-4095-9a84-974602038dfd/1+%281%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Dear dolls… I’m here to present you with a new, monthly column; Sickly Sweet. Over the last nine months, I have fallen in love with baking. It shouldn’t shock anyone to read I have always loved food, however until last year, the closest I had come to making my own sweet treats was sandwiching chocolate spread between two rich tea biscuits. That’s not to say I hadn’t ever baked before… of course the occasional packet mix has been purchased and put to use. And as a child, it’s something I loved to either witness or partake in with my grandmothers. I’m not sure what sparked the idea, but I decided to attempt a cake for my mum’s birthday last year, which ended up being a blueberry and lemon loaf. I’m not used to instant gratification in my usual creative practices, so quite quickly being able to see that this cake had worked, led to one of the most positive feelings I’d had in a long time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/672a32e0-4503-465e-bcdc-f2aeaaf3bad1/6+%283%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a7d7a89-e54e-4934-b08f-26ae2a43b404/4+%282%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39f16060-1d10-4480-8bbf-a14bf0a7f10d/10.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83358421-6d5d-41e2-8315-8dea3c6438fc/5+%281%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7dbf1b32-2f8d-45e0-b5e5-f4dff208ca54/2+%281%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3c6da28-316a-4b0d-b64a-8cb456911e3f/7+%281%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39884afb-627d-4570-9aee-28d6c5483869/13.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33557ad0-01c4-46db-bd7b-bf1c0150dbd1/8+%281%29.jpg Features - Sickly Sweet: Falling in Love with Baking - Madeleines, Pistachio Cake &amp; More - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tea-hacic-vlahovic-on-talking-rats-the-death-of-partying-and-her-new-book monthly 0.5 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0776399f-8a11-4a40-a543-cc91f36ec0f2/af-2.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Tea Hačić-Vlahović was born to be a star. I know this because I’ve watched her evolution into one in the most intimate way that a person can: Through following each other online for over a decade. Tea has always presented herself as someone who loves two things: Self expression and partying. When most of us slid between the sheets after a long night at the club to chew out our final gurns in private, Tea took to her keyboard to type lengthy ponderings on Blogspot, anonymous agony aunt answers on Tumblr under the alias of Sugar Tits, and a Vice Italy column. It was inevitable that a woman who seemingly never slept and put so much effort into reaching out into the world, would be the one out of the close knit Tumblr community that we had that would make it, and I was thrilled whenever my doom scrolling would show Tea graduating from live performances in Harlem art galleries to publishing much acclaimed novels. I caught up with Tea as she works on her third book, a story with a talking rat, a bicoastal writer and a surprisingly empathetic male narrative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d99d40ab-ffa1-4e2b-b6f4-8ae02a6aa65c/af-5.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54c1f14a-19ab-4e07-bcb0-789f4c74910f/af-9.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e3b895af-207b-4df6-ae30-a66d34c34145/af-3.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bb4e6e90-03af-4645-bb36-70d37a52ac7b/af-11.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce96aa2e-e8a7-487d-b191-720d6f314c31/af-1.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ebb6d99e-ea51-43db-a7c6-264fec66d418/af-6.jpg Features - Tea Hacic-Vlahovic on Talking Rats, the Death of Partying and Her New Book - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-girly-intellectualism-took-over-fashion monthly 0.5 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1712236340465-OX8HCJDJTPEE2GWPBF1C/fashion2.png Features - How Girly Intellectualism Took Over Fashion - Make it stand out On the contemporary internet landscape, extreme girlyness and intellectualism seem to go hand in hand: the popularity of Dark Academia and its intense fetishisation of classic culture and highbrow literature gave life to hundreds of intellectual-inspired outfit guides, converting — for the first time on TikTok — the interest in what is considered "high culture” in a Pret-A-Porter way of dressing. Once the distinctions between virtual intellectuals circles and apparel were blurred, #BookTok found its perfect archetype. Incorporating themes of womanhood, female rage and romantic sadness, the Hot Girl Book Aesthetic describes the kind of book shelf that an IT girl — that kind of micro celebrity who could spawn directly out of the underground scene of a big city, a la Party Girl — would have in her perfectly decorated flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5f0af56b-2acc-4bf3-9fed-ba67f3b08ee0/fashion1.png Features - How Girly Intellectualism Took Over Fashion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/they-eat-the-rich-dont-they-will-foodtok-spark-a-modern-revolution monthly 0.5 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7f66993-3015-4e47-8609-d4054e5ab2b3/food+disparity2.png Features - “They eat the rich, don’t they?”: Will FoodTok Spark a Modern Revolution? - Make it stand out It was the week of my 24th birthday and in between my existential crises about capitalism and ugly crying about not having medical insurance, I found reprieve by diving head-first into the abyss of #kitchenrestocks. I emerged four hours later questioning the economic feasibility of not only Oishii’s $60 carton of half a dozen strawberries, but any fruit at all. I day dreamed of still affording four different kinds of cheese in a single grocery shop trip. As the cacophony of social media reverberates with the clinking of coquette champagne flutes, ASMR kitchen restocks and the rustle of grocery bags, the chasm between the haves and the have-nots widens. While lower-income individuals tighten their belts amidst the cost of living crisis, the modern nobility - celebrities, influencers, and other digital denizens - seem to bellow from their full-stocked pantry palaces: "Let them eat cake." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d841990-b8cd-4444-ba63-62b4b47cc1ba/food+disparity.png Features - “They eat the rich, don’t they?”: Will FoodTok Spark a Modern Revolution? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/drag-queen-story-hour-founder-michelle-tea-is-telling-the-queer-stories-we-need-nownbsp monthly 0.5 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e7cb603-d7a3-4b65-a9c1-b09b5b613bdb/michelle2.png Features - Drag Queen Story Hour Founder Michelle Tea is Telling the Queer Stories We Need Now&nbsp; - Make it stand out I first discovered Michelle Tea’s work when I moved to San Francisco in the early 2000s and attended her queer reading series at the SF Public Library, RADAR. Tea would host the smartest, coolest, most cutting edge writers from the Bay Area and beyond with a chatty, disarming style that put everyone at ease, then hand out cookies to audience members who braved to ask a question during the Q&A. This commitment to uplifting queer stories and communities has been a constant in Tea’s world that’s shifted shapes over the past several decades. In addition to her own prolific writing career — which spans children’s, YA, and adult novels, an award-winning essay collection, tarot books, and, most recently, a queer pregnancy memoir — Tea founded the all-women, all-queer open mic night, Sister Spit, in the 90s, and later the traveling roadshow by the same name. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6930061-2965-4d42-ae56-fe8cd99af40a/michelletea.png Features - Drag Queen Story Hour Founder Michelle Tea is Telling the Queer Stories We Need Now&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/infinity-mirrors-bypassing-shadowbans-and-how-instagram-became-a-news-app monthly 0.5 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/43859200-faac-4a02-b0e5-3c1026ca6f8b/insta2.png Features - Infinity Mirrors, Bypassing Shadowbans and How Instagram Became a News App - Make it stand out In late 2023 a friend DM’d me a screenshot of a create-mode Instagram story with default-font white text on a black background which proclaimed: “instagram is a news app”. The meme felt like the perfect summation of what I’d been observing on my feed for years. In a time of live-streamed genocide, limitation of political content by Meta and dwindling public trust in legacy media, it’s obvious why users are attempting to construct their own ecosystems of information exchange within the restrictive architecture of capitalist cyberspace. Since its launch in 2010, Instagram’s mission statement has been “To capture and share the world’s moments.” Originally this meant capturing and sharing a 1:1 ratio, filtered snap of a puppy. In 2024, however, it has come to mean something quite different. For those of us not struggling through shadow bans, the mission statement now evokes images and videos of mutilated bodies and decimated landscapes. In 2024, the feed shows us a thirst-trap, then a child’s bloodied hand under rubble, then interior design inspo. It is an incoherent, frenetic landscape far removed from the (liberal) pastoral simplicity of Instagram’s original promise. How are we to make sense of a world where unfathomable live-streamed horrors are paralleled with content that reflects our desires as consumers? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13b14f06-4944-47f4-b081-4de70d9a9fc0/insta1.png Features - Infinity Mirrors, Bypassing Shadowbans and How Instagram Became a News App - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/yearning-gazing-and-scissoring-the-politics-of-the-sad-sapphic-period-drama monthly 0.5 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/74778964-9f97-4db9-ba23-ea0e80b6ca1b/sapphic.png Features - Yearning, Gazing, and Scissoring: The Politics of the Sad Sapphic Period Drama - Make it stand out When you picture movies about queer women, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a moody, tragic romance with a washed-out colour palette, set anytime that isn’t now. The “sad sapphic period drama” (as it will hereby be termed) has existed for almost as long as films have been made about lesbians, but it has been inescapable since the mid 2010s. These films often follow similar narratives, centring two women who quietly yearn, both for each other and for more than the strict gender roles of their time. They trade forbidden touches and deep gazes that symbolise their secret desires – and they, despite becoming unfailingly devoted to one another, are rarely allowed to stay together by the film’s end. Among the reasons that sad sapphic period dramas have become so popular is that they create a sense of escapism and catharsis for their audience. People – especially women – have engaged with historical narratives for decades to escape the mundanity of their contemporary lives, whilst the melodramatic nature of romantic tragedies gives viewers permission to express complex emotions that they might usually repress. Focussing on queerness within these stories can heighten their emotional impact, increasing the sense of tragedy through depicting a historically “forbidden” form of love; focussing on women appeals to the traditionally female audience of these films. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea2c80d0-cd28-4fc3-8751-d5d837d4a00b/sapphic+%281%29.png Features - Yearning, Gazing, and Scissoring: The Politics of the Sad Sapphic Period Drama - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/allie-x monthly 0.5 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/85e6afa8-982d-46d2-8e0d-f592fb5733fb/lo+res_Allie+X_Polyester_Ogburn-11.jpg Features - “ There was always this thing in me that wanted to have my own voice”: Allie X in Conversation with Princess Julia - Make it stand out There’s no denying that Princess Julia and Allie X feel like kindred spirits.

The 2024 feature film, written by and starring the actor and activist River Gallo, has been on their mind in one form or another for as long as they’ve been making art. “Ponyboi the short was actually an adaptation of two different theatre pieces that I did when I was at acting school,” Gallo reveals over Zoom. “So it was something that I’ve been brewing in my, like, artist’s cauldron for years.” When Gallo describes researching Ponyboi as a short, they talk about the moment that they came across the word “intersex” for the first time and finally having the language to describe themselves. It was in learning the term that Gallo developed a fervour for challenging the medical establishment. For Gallo, the discovery of an intersex community - and the activism surrounding it - made them realise that their own surgery during adolescence was “medically unnecessary”, something further complicated by their still-evolving relationship to gender: “now, identifying as non-binary and trans-femme, it gives me gender dysphoria.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9f7ec57-1d40-4ee7-95a8-400f9e7888b2/River_25.jpg Features - Filmmaker River Gallo on Ponyboi, Activism, and a New Queer Tipping Point - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/245876e6-0a02-4c4a-a43e-9784128fc7e0/River_27.jpg Features - Filmmaker River Gallo on Ponyboi, Activism, and a New Queer Tipping Point - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ad6c0cc6-5e65-4768-9543-f744e1bcb3ae/River_23.jpg Features - Filmmaker River Gallo on Ponyboi, Activism, and a New Queer Tipping Point - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1667ef7d-bf3e-404c-ab0f-f95122d7f6bd/River_14.jpg Features - Filmmaker River Gallo on Ponyboi, Activism, and a New Queer Tipping Point - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f54ec667-5217-4211-9718-746cd210c7df/River_29.jpg Features - Filmmaker River Gallo on Ponyboi, Activism, and a New Queer Tipping Point - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ae6a75c-e909-4ab1-bced-fb1a0969c36d/River_19.jpg Features - Filmmaker River Gallo on Ponyboi, Activism, and a New Queer Tipping Point - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-inevitable-and-well-documented-horrors-of-the-mother-daughter-relationship monthly 0.5 2024-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41e4013b-dadb-4ec2-a2a1-147ea0d98fde/mother1.png Features - The Inevitable and Well Documented Horrors of the Mother-Daughter Relationship - Make it stand out “We are all chimeras. We carry the genetic and emotional traces of our mothers and our daughters — as will our daughters after us.” These are the lines spoken by a lawyer in French filmmaker Alice Diop’s Saint Omer, who is charged with defending a woman who left her infant daughter on the beach during low tide to float away and die. The film explores an interplay of race, generational trauma, and mother-daughter relationships through the lens of the courtroom, and it is within the lawyer’s words that the film arguably reaches its emotional climax, as sociology and body horror combine into one. The lawyer’s argument is biological: during pregnancy, a woman’s body exchanges cells with those of their children, those parts of the child always remain embedded within her organs, and in her DNA. Mothers, in this view, are as much a product of their children as their children are of them. The relationship between them is more symmetrical than it is traditionally hierarchical, and, like a chimera, it is terrifying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/528dd00d-d84c-4602-8e46-8b36253a1728/mother2.png Features - The Inevitable and Well Documented Horrors of the Mother-Daughter Relationship https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lisa-frankenstein-diablo-codys-women-and-when-to-stop-coming-of-age monthly 0.5 2024-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1096d53-b7c6-45ff-a7b4-098799c57cc3/lisa1.png Features - Lisa Frankenstein, Diablo Cody’s Women and When to Stop Coming of Age - Make it stand out There are relatively few screenwriters whose style can break through the hubbub of filmmaking voices, but Diablo Cody is the exception. A thoroughly modern, entirely unique auteur, whose hyper-specific observations of the world merge popular idioms with sharp, shiny cultural touchstones. Like Heathers, Clueless and Mean Girls, her breakout hit Juno crafted a brand-new vernacular for her characters, as acidic and sharp as it was fresh. These scripts are consistently delivered with a light, frothy cadence, but they also mine the maligned and complicated turmoil of women’s worlds.

Based on your previous listening history, Spotify curates a playlist for you at various times throughout the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1fff5a36-a382-4572-a744-df8cf68674e4/daylist2.png Features - Why are Spotify Daylist Titles So Unhinged? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/morvern-callar-lynne-ramsay-film-empathy-essay monthly 0.5 2024-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/518c6f5d-65c7-439c-b0b8-3440f94d56e4/movern1.png Features - What Morvern Callar Has to Teach Us About Empathy&nbsp; - Make it stand out In 2002 British director Lynne Ramsay (Ratcatcher, We Need to Talk About Kevin) chose to adapt Alan Warner's novel Morvern Callar into a noir-tinged film starring actress Samantha Morton. Alienating — but in a strange way, extremely human — the film tells the story of the fictional Morvern Callar, a young woman living in the Scottish highlands who discovers the lifeless body of her partner after he committed suicide on Christmas Day. As a testament, her boyfriend leaves a note written just before the tragic event, asking Morvern to submit a novel he wrote (and left in his computer) to a publishing house, so it can be published posthumously. Along with the novel, Morvern’s boyfriend also leaves a mixtape made of songs for her to listen to after his death. Refusing to be reduced to a mere token in her partner's purposefully designed plan, the girl decides to hide the corpse and take credit for the manuscript. She can finally begin a new life away from the seedy supermarket where she works; away from the gloomy atmosphere of a society where she always felt relegated to a bleak grey area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f14f17a-5ac3-447b-99f7-db073b0f813b/movern2+%281%29.png Features - What Morvern Callar Has to Teach Us About Empathy&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-the-match-factory-girl-fallen-leaves-and-how-aki-kaurismki-values-the-bleakness monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6d19aa04-6b9c-41b3-8f41-6f089d4722a4/match+factory.png Features - Film Fatale: The Match Factory Girl, Fallen Leaves, and How Aki Kaurismäki Values the Bleakness - Make it stand out A few years ago in my dusty flat, I decided to treat myself to a 1 hour and 9 minute film. It was a Sunday and late November (thank you Letterboxd for giving me the ability to pin down these formative dates). The perfect time to watch The Match Factory Girl, a film that even just by looking at the cover, I knew was going to be a level of bleak I might not be prepared for in my delicate state, as I was most definitely nursing myself from the scenes in the pub from the night before. Fortunately, The Match Factory Girl – and the other works of Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki I felt obliged to watch straight after, such as Ariel (1988) and The Man Without a Past (2002) – are all about the humanness of the bleakness. The stories of suicide, alcoholism, and loneliness are framed with empathy and humour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/99a9999f-aef2-4dec-938e-8f5ab51301ff/match+factory+%281%29.png Features - Film Fatale: The Match Factory Girl, Fallen Leaves, and How Aki Kaurismäki Values the Bleakness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-viral-instagram-food-and-grandiose-birthday-cakes monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c68c1cd-85a7-4bef-953a-1dc35e011f3c/cake2.png Features - Love Bite: Viral Instagram Food and Grandiose Birthday Cakes I was recently asked one of the best questions a person can possibly hear: “What sort of birthday cake would you like?” I’m going to be 30 soon, so in her infinite sweetness my mom wanted to get me a cake to mark the occasion.

For fans of the project – both those who’ve been in it for the long haul, ever since she sang about reflecting in the bathtub on her sparse debut album American Weekend, as well as listeners who’ve been more recently charmed by her 2020 breakout Saint Cloud – it felt like being greeted by an old friend. The warm, southern lilt of Crutchfield’s voice has a way of sounding completely familiar even when it’s telling you something new. The song was an introduction into the world of Waxahatchee’s upcoming sixth album Tigers Blood, released on 22nd March. More indie-rock influenced than its little-bit-country predecessor Saint Cloud, the record sees Crutchfield settling into her 30s, into the sobriety she adopted while writing her last LP, and, by her own admission, into herself. On many of its tracks, she’s joined by the musician MJ Lindemann, continuing her rich personal history of collaboration (her last full-length release was in 2022, as part of Plains, alongside Jess Williamson), and exploring a new dimension of the Waxahatchee sound, which sits somewhere between Saint Cloud’s brightness, and the rawer edge of past albums like Out In The Storm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/767a2a34-8030-4cfb-bf0a-3894005d8223/Waxahatchee+by+Molly+Matalon+1+%281%29.jpg Features - Waxahatchee on Songwriting, Sobriety, and her Saturn Return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfaa50ab-cab7-40ef-9fd7-b49769bcff7e/Waxahatchee+by+Molly+Matalon+32+%282%29.jpg Features - Waxahatchee on Songwriting, Sobriety, and her Saturn Return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-meeting-of-two-queens monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4ed9cc1a-a735-432f-a114-3e07227fad2a/queens1.png Features - The Meeting of Two Queens: The 90s Short Film Editing Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich into a Relationship - Make it stand out In B. Ruby Rich’s 1992 Sight & Sound article titled New Queer Cinema, which details the movement of independent queer cinema in the late 1980’s - 1990’s, the author points to films like Edward II, Swoon, The Living End, and Poison. All relatively well known titles in a relatively unknown film movement. However Rich also mentions a film which when I first read the article at university I had never heard of, but sounded as if literally made for my own enjoyment: “The Meeting of Two Queens (Encuentro entre dos Reinas, 1991) reedits Dietrich and Garbo movies to construct a dream narrative: get the girls together, help them meet, let them get it on.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e16822c0-4c9f-4dfd-85ee-c17e350eb9ba/queens2.png Features - The Meeting of Two Queens: The 90s Short Film Editing Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich into a Relationship - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-the-action-bombshell-archetype-as-typified-by-raquel-welch monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/36306e02-72ec-48d1-9014-d0c6495b8aa3/rachel+%281%29.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Action Bombshell Archetype as Typified by Raquel Welch - Make it stand out In 1965 during the filming of One Million Years BC, a B Movie monster flick no one had particularly high hopes for, Raquel Welch posed for some publicity stills. She was a relative unknown with just three lines but many many shots of her running in the skimpy doe skin outfit described by the studio as ‘Man’s First Bikini’. Yet by the time filming had wrapped, the image had gone the 60s version of viral, and she was greeted at the airport by crowds of new fans and paparazzi. Welch’s image would eclipse the film itself and change her life, transforming her into a new sex symbol for the changing times. Welch’s chestnut brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin and her athletic, broad shouldered figure cut a striking departure from the pillowy soft passive physicality of America’s previous sexual obsession Marilyn Monroe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f8266a98-d338-47cc-8c4e-071d89f7ae25/rachel.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Action Bombshell Archetype as Typified by Raquel Welch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-wags-of-the-internet monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/727a3761-e17c-4bda-aea7-748f4538b78a/wag1.png Features - The WAGs of the Internet - Make it stand out Pookie stares vacantly, eyes slicked wide with thick mascara. She is wearing tight leather pants, or a tight lace corset, or both; she is carrying her Kelly Hermès bag, and she has on a pair of stilettos. Pookie, née Campbell, opens each video explaining the event — date night, party, dinner with friends — and husband Jett follows up as a sort of aggressively heterosexual hype man: “Good Lord, Pookie, you’re looking fire.” He asks her to tell him more about the outfit; she details what she’s wearing and where it’s from (House of CB, JLo’s heel line, Revolve). The video ends with a shared kiss. Pookie, or Campbell Puckett, is an aspiring influencer who’s earned equal shares of scorn and celebrity for her collaborative fit checks with her husband Jett. The two are the prototypical white, wealthy Southern pair: complete with Dyson-blowout hair, southern twangs, designer clothes, and an Internet history scandal involving a Confederate flag. At first glance, Puckett’s posts echo countless other influencers that produce the same mirror-like content. But her content is unique in its ability to provoke both rage and desire. Comments land anywhere from “Is this satire? I can’t tell” to “Love how much he loves you! Get me a Jett” to “These people look like the beginning of the purge.” The oscillation between hate and envy feels, in many ways, like a crisis of heterosexuality being played out in real time, with TikTok as the front row seats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9664bda4-cacb-46d6-98be-603fef48c287/wag2.png Features - The WAGs of the Internet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/i-felt-romantic-towards-her-as-i-do-towards-all-my-friends-dreamgirl-chapter-3 monthly 0.5 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b22f38ef-a34a-48a8-973e-f7b4695ae82b/emma3.png Features - “I felt romantic towards her as I do towards all my friends”: Dreamgirl Chapter 3 - Make it stand out The next time I took my daughter to visit her dad in Los Angeles, Casey and I finally met for the first time. We chose the Norton Simon Museum of Art in Pasadena, where Eve Babitz had posed naked in a game of chess with Marcel Duchamp. I dressed on the sexy side for someone who is 45, down to my Maryjane shoes, whereas Casey was wearing a teenage sweatshirt and baggy jeans. Her demeanour was open, and I asked if I could hug her, every boundary in her S&M videos negotiated in advance. She said “yes” and I noticed - while, in the videos her body is held by the ropes at elegant angles - in life, her off duty posture is teenage too, like a girl unhappy at getting breasts. Her ass - which is legendary in the industry - was tucked away so efficiently as to be undetectable. She’d later describe this to me as “Code Switching”, how her whole demeanour, right down to the angle at which she holds her hands, changes when she isn’t being “Casey”. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/monica-lewinsky-siren-core-reformation monthly 0.5 2024-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/713bfdf4-ed19-4c8b-b58e-121be962e430/office+siren2.png Features - Monica Lewinsky, the Office Siren Trend and the Salience of Women's Workwear - Make it stand out In 1998, a navy blue dress from Middle America’s khaki-slinging retailer of choice, The Gap, entered the public consciousness. Collared, knee-length and button-down, the garment was distinctly corporate and completely unremarkable. Still, in a matter of weeks, this unassuming frock became a lightning rod for misogyny, vilification, and unchecked voyeurism. These days, the dress, and the woman who wore it, have come to represent the media’s mistreatment of women as well as her personal reclamation of agency. The woman: Monica Lewinsky – feminist activist and motivational speaker. The scandal: a tryst between the then-22-year-old unpaid intern and 49-year-old married President of the United States, Bill Clinton. The dress: physical evidence providing proof of the affair vehemently denied by Clinton. The decade-defining scandal ignited a global debate on sexism, power imbalances, privacy, and the consequences of public scrutiny. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28e2fa0b-30f3-45a7-ba91-6412f33ac38c/office+siren.png Features - Monica Lewinsky, the Office Siren Trend and the Salience of Women's Workwear - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/swelling-chests-and-shameless-sex-love-lies-bleeding-and-evoking-cronenberg monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/32cf6012-7335-450a-966a-5aa1f83831ba/love+lies+bleeding+%281%29.png Features - Swelling Chests and Shameless Sex: Love Lies Bleeding and Evoking Cronenberg - Make it stand out Director David Cronenberg is considered a landmark filmmaker of cinema concerned with the flesh, and the bodily burdens of those who dare traverse the hellscape of reality into the hallucinogenic, the scientific, the absurd. In that same pulsating vein, director Rose Glass' budding oeuvre – her sophomore film, Love Lies Bleeding, an emblematic thriller invested in the satiating and nauseating images bound to romantic deceit – has led to comparisons to Cronenberg's filmography. Love Lies Bleeding debuted to an eager crowd at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Glass' first feature, Saint Maud, was released in 2019 and established plenty of visual and narrative interests that swell in this second film, notably that of redefining notions of pain. In Saint Maud, the body is a vessel to channel God, and the titular Maud frequently says, "May God bless you and never waste your pain," implying that even suffering can be divine. Her perspective ultimately culminates in the greatest sacrifice in the name of glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e02dfb1-782c-43c7-9243-ac70577b6026/love+lies+bleeding.png Features - Swelling Chests and Shameless Sex: Love Lies Bleeding and Evoking Cronenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-karaoke monthly 0.5 2024-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/253b2e80-ddf8-44fc-9161-6e542ca6c9e1/2+copy+%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Transformational Sanctity of the Karaoke Booth - Make it stand out Singing in a karaoke bar is a transcendent spiritual practice. The celebration of the voice is as ancient as humanity itself, it is one of the few things that still ties us to the other animals we crawled out of the primordial soup with. Lions roar in the sun-drenched Serengeti, birds twitter away in trees heavy with fruit, humans sing Islands In The Stream in poorly lit pubs with sticky carpets. I absolutely love karaoke, I think it's great every single time, no matter how often I go; the quality of the performances, the prices of the bar or even the diversity of the song selection. Even as I write this I am nursing a small hangover from last night, which I spent at an old working-mens-club-turned-hipster-members-club dominating the karaoke stage whist a dreamy lesbian with a mullet manned the Karafun-machine, and it was an absolute dream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33c1ab52-09d3-4efd-9c31-68f682bc1070/1+copy+%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Transformational Sanctity of the Karaoke Booth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-chronically-online-are-chronically-ambivalent-how-internet-language-distances-us-from-sincerity monthly 0.5 2024-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/05021ca5-0b30-469f-9652-c137fb518a4d/irony2.png Features - The Chronically Online are Chronically Ambivalent: How Internet Language Distances Us from Sincerity - Make it stand out POV: We’re on a date and I forgot my wallet.

The British actress turns 54 on March 7th, and in the years she’s been active on both the small and silver screens, her portrayals of women have run the gamut from single mom in a romantic comedy (About a Boy) to tortured twin gynaecologists (Dead Ringers). Starting with The Mummy in 1999, Weisz captured the imagination of a wider, international audience as Evie, a frenetic librarian and Egyptian scholar. Notably, this action-adventure film also triggered a bisexual awakening for a generation of moviegoers and meme makers. Her portrayal and subsequent success in The Mummy launched Weisz into the greater stratosphere of celebrity with the advantage of taking on deeper, more complex roles — not to mention a longing to act on a certain desire of hers. In the last six years, Weisz has evolved into a queer icon of sorts and for some fans, her interviews and memes live “rent free” in their heads. In 2009, Weisz said, “I want to be a lesbian icon,” and it appears she’s nailed it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/72995aee-6778-4e92-94dd-ba82f1f20994/rachel2.png Features - A Love Letter to Rachel Weisz on her Birthday - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/photographer-and-artist-danielle-gruberger-is-neurodiverse-cheeky-and-proud monthly 0.5 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8789d37c-bfa7-4b88-b64d-2313671cd904/10_Rollin+With+The+Homeis.jpg Features - Photographer and Artist Danielle Gruberger is Neurodiverse, Cheeky, and Proud - Make it stand out When artist and photographer Danielle Gruberger went for a routine doctor’s examination on Valentine’s Day, the result was unexpected.

She often retorts to the labels she’s given with zingers like “Well, you're either ‘rising’ or you're dead, as a woman”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbd96e56-17b5-485d-8e4b-726fac1c4014/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_1009+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Jacket: Vintage Patrick Kelly from Vintage Grace https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe151f16-9206-4653-8dc7-df8f2ff9037d/IMG_8037.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3c4ecc1-0ba2-47cb-925e-09e2b183d9ce/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0570+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Dress: Vintage Bottega Veneta from Elevator Archives | Earrings: Saule https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d91d08e1-40a6-452e-be2d-ff2ad5c21917/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0571+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5fe950ee-a1c9-4d59-bde6-774916f92eee/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0332+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Dress: Vintage Stella McCartney from Vintage Grace https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8d4a00af-e418-4293-b61f-02d7fe4f7ff3/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0918+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Dress: Vintage Gucci by Tom Ford dress from Vintage Grace | Shoes: Le Monde https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5aff6d70-5f54-4373-be1d-ad8dc853c064/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0375+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2da218b5-8edd-432b-b6b2-28673dfdedf1/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0671+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0f628a6-f119-4627-bf3a-6cc71b50e461/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0437+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Ring: Erin Fader https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ad7dad4-7c29-46ce-bdd4-a14c2b8f63ee/240212_EC_Polyester_Geraldine_0999+copy.jpg Features - Geraldine Viswanathan on Fame, Freebies and Drive Away Dolls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sofia-coppolas-priscilla-female-adolescence-is-a-timeless-narrativenbsp monthly 0.5 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c128b728-0e3e-4e01-927e-f5b1db87b752/Priscilla1.png Features - Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla: Female Adolescence is a Timeless Narrative&nbsp; The past year has been good to Sofia Coppola fans: with the ongoing talking point of Girlhood - from the aesthetic encompassing of all things coquette to the lived experience of female adolescence - 2023 was undoubtedly the Year of the Girl. A time where culture knuckled down and decided to take the intricacies of being a young woman as serious business. Yet mainstream culture is late to the game as usual, because the films of Sofia Coppola have been dedicated to stories of young women for the past two decades. The release of Priscilla at the beginning of 2024 felt like the summation of this girlhood discourse, with Coppola swooping in to share the story of Priscilla Ann Presley, a woman who had an adolescence both completely otherworldly yet unexpectedly relatable.

Amidst the hundreds of other trends that encourage spending in exchange for a new and improved version of you, loud budgeting feels like a breath of fresh air. Reevaluating our expenditures is more relevant as we sink deeper and deeper into the cost of living crisis. Although loud budgeting is great because it provides palatable financial advice that can be useful, it all grates at me still. The fact that something as boring as budgeting and as simple as living within your means has started trending demonstrates the impact that soaring inflation has had on everyone. To survive, we’re having to aestheticise the fact that people have less disposable income than they did before as a way of accepting our new reality. Until the masses were forced to be more conscious about their money, it was never considered trendy to budget. Quiet luxury, that has been popular since last year, is the antithesis of being careful with your cash and people struggling to make ends meet have never felt like they were living a lifestyle that was trending. Working class people have faced judgement for lack of financial stability and been told that it’s their fault for not working harder. Now that middle class people are being hit by this economic crash, suddenly it’s “chic to be cheap”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab30a16c-ffa4-43ae-a76b-a143f73d10c2/budget2.png Features - Chic to Be Cheap: Is the Rise of Loud Budgeting a Hallmark of Dystopia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/i-once-knew-these-two-people-paris-texas-and-reinterpreting-the-aftermath-of-trauma-on-its-40th-anniversary monthly 0.5 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fa3af4d-4c6f-49db-86c5-a5c039c9b351/paristexas2.png Features - “I once knew these two people”: Paris, Texas and Reinterpreting the Aftermath of Trauma on its 40th Anniversary Wim Wenders’ 1984 road film Paris, Texas never reaches its destination. At the beginning of the film, we meet Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton) as he stumbles, trancelike, out of the Texan desert wearing a red baseball cap. He is searching for a place to land, yet this place exists only as a crumpled photograph folded up in its pocket. From the Tumblr gifsets of Nastassja Kinski’s pink sweater to being used by Beyoncé in her latest teaser for her upcoming album Act ii, Paris, Texas remains visually striking and present in the public consciousness 40 years after its release. Pulling from the dual spheres of American and European filmmaking, Wenders’ leans into the oxymoron of Paris, Texas as the place of beginning for Travis. “Did you ever go to Paris?” he asks his brother Walt (Dean Stockwell) cryptically, pointing to a map of Texas, “Can we go now?”. We quickly learn that Travis has been missing for four years following the breakdown of his marriage. Much like the myth of Odysseus, whose will return is in active conflict with his wandering, Travis struggles to be pulled away from his horizon. It is only at the mention of his son Hunter (Hunter Carson) that Walt can begin to tether Travis back into the life he left behind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec7d2ad0-d935-4965-bc39-5ee6a61df947/paristexas.png Features - “I once knew these two people”: Paris, Texas and Reinterpreting the Aftermath of Trauma on its 40th Anniversary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-makes-a-sex-scene-bang monthly 0.5 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e0c4276-72ed-4fdd-94f6-4a54c7da0d25/s1.png Features - What Makes a Sex Scene Bang? Sex scenes in movies can be a strange, spongy topic. Over the past year or so, fierce debates have flared up about whether they are good or bad, on whether they can meaningfully drive plots forward, or if they are just grubby cesspits of meaningless titillation, no matter what. Much has been made of gen z not fucking with sex scenes, with last year’s annual Teens and Screens report finding that of 1,500 10–24-year-olds surveyed, 47.5% of them thought that sex rarely, if ever, needed to be depicted on screen. While being in the pro-sex scene camp myself, I can understand why people are turned off by modern depictions of sex. Hollywood has mostly cleansed any lingering whiff of actual shagging from their tentpole movie slate to attract as many ticket buyers as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07278f64-4d56-49ef-9104-0a9cee99b1e5/s2.png Features - What Makes a Sex Scene Bang? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/an-ode-to-the-maximalism-of-northern-english-beauty monthly 0.5 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d1d8af4d-0a8f-42e3-a801-817752c41d18/northern+women+%281%29.png Features - An Ode to the Maximalism of Northern English Beauty - Make it stand out In December a video montage of young women on a night out in Manchester began circulating X. A scathing caption reads “how’d this happen to the British empire?” - a misogynistic sentiment echoed by commenters picking apart the barely there bodycon dresses and maximalist makeup looks of the clip’s unknowing subjects. It’s one of hundreds of sneakily recorded videos of women at all stages of their night out in the city, collated by anonymous accounts on TikTok. From girls heading out with a fresh post-pre-drinks glow, flicking pristine swathes of long hair over their shoulder, to their drunken journeys home, stumbling along a pavement shining from a recent Northern downpour in 6-inch stilettos - all is documented and uploaded without consent. The virality suggests that there’s some novelty in these videos, perhaps in their ability to offer a window to British nightlife that may seem outlandish to an outsider. Yet, having grown up in West Yorkshire, to me they’re simply a glimpse of home. It’s a familiar scene that, when combined with digital mockery, reminds me that although almost a decade has passed since my first nights out up North, little has changed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c25c3c34-ab7c-4ecf-9dbf-6a231394e1f5/northern+women.png Features - An Ode to the Maximalism of Northern English Beauty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/milfs-and-sons-of-bitches-the-current-view-on-motherhood monthly 0.5 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6a460d8b-cfe9-4e5b-bd2b-a8a8bf55e63a/m1.png Features - MILFs and Sons of Bitches: The Current View on Motherhood - Make it stand out MILF is one of the most well-known and mainstream pornographic terms. First popularised in the American Pie franchise, MILF - aka Mother I’d Like to Fuck - is now one of the best-known porn categories. The term runs rampant in memes and on TikTok, where people of all genders proclaim their attraction to hot mums, their aspiration to become a MILF, or both. Influencers are rocking “Future MILF” slogan t-shirts, using anti-wrinkle straws and giving anti-aging skincare tips to grow up and become a fuckable older person. Some TikTok users even base the better part of their content around showing off their own attractive mums. These posts are met with overwhelming engagement, with comments ranging from asking for their youthful secrets to if the posters want a new stepdad. MILF is considered a badge of honour and aspirational feminine archetype in the online sphere. It isn’t dissimilar to the bimbo trend and contains a few aesthetic similarities: The look is usually reserved to thin, middle-aged middle- or upper-class white women. While it is primarily about appearance, the label is also a reference to aspirational motherhood - which is gate kept behind classism, ageism and racism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acacd02f-c692-45f7-88ce-6b5b30aea5b3/m2.png Features - MILFs and Sons of Bitches: The Current View on Motherhood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rhi-dancey-takes-barcelona-in-this-playful-bow-adorned-editorial monthly 0.5 2024-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c370060-a8a0-45a3-b11a-b9b534354d3f/_DSC0186-1.jpg Features - Rhi Dancey Takes Barcelona In This Playful, Bow-Adorned Editorial - Make it stand out This story brings to life an ethereal world from illustrator Andrea Diez Nin.

You don’t even have to be into books at all – all you need to do is look up the #booktok hashtag on your doomscrolling social platform of choice and see the canon faves. Classic Russian literature is notoriously heavy: depressing, at times grotesque, with a deep sense of ennui inflicted by instability, the loss of one’s naivëté, and basic human suffering. It’s fascinating that in its obsolete hopelessness and dystopian, soul-crushing storytelling young people, women in particular, are feeling heard and seen. What is it about the hardships of a Russian man that draws us in like nothing else has? And why do we feel the urge to tweet ‘He’s literally me’ over a picture of Dostoevsky? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5b3e72ed-1370-431d-bad9-f5c5f51e32c8/russian2.png Features - Classics Core - What’s Up with Our Obsession with Russian Classic Literature? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agnes-questionmark-on-bodies-as-organisms-her-evershifting-art-practice-and-post-humanism monthly 0.5 2024-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc21192b-17f2-45e9-8ef6-84d2629d3aef/question+mark.png Features - Agnes Questionmark on Bodies as Organisms, Her Ever-Shifting Art Practice and Post Humanism - Make it stand out Watching Agnes Questionmark’s fascinating evolution as she becomes one of the most interesting characters in the contemporary art world feels like reading a book you never want to end. Born in Rome in 1995, the artist keeps mutating, changing skin, flowing like a raging river, creating new mythologies around the state of her own existence on earth. Taking inspiration from Posthuman Feminist studies such as Astrid Neimanis’ Bodies of Water, Agnes’ early works imagined the human body as inseparable from the water element: the idea of a “more-than-human” being a dynamic extension of the ocean itself, one that Neimanis calls “hypersea”. By doing so, the artist submerged herself in pools of water where the boundaries of her body could lose sharpness, and transformed into tentacular sea creatures - in her 2021 performance Transgenesis - with shape-shifting bodies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/440a587a-ce47-43fa-bf77-63afe944b2d7/question.png Features - Agnes Questionmark on Bodies as Organisms, Her Ever-Shifting Art Practice and Post Humanism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fake-instagram-pages-scamming-gut-feelings-or-womens-intuition monthly 0.5 2024-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d157e27e-a39f-40be-9927-332a000ebed1/intuition.png Features - Fake Instagram Pages: Scamming, Gut Feelings or ‘Women’s Intuition’? - Make it stand out Intuition is so much more than a romanticised notion: It’s a magical power that women have harnessed over centuries. It is the beautiful ability to understand something instinctively. It combines subconsciously held observations of information with a gut feeling. Research has hypothesised that it’s due to women's superior ability to read emotions and body language: A study by Katrina Grasby at Australia’s Berghofer Institute of Medical Research in Queensland presented 90,000 participants with photographs of people. In the study, she challenged her subjects to interpret the emotions in the pictures. The results revealed that women’s accuracy in labelling the feelings associated with the photographs blew men's ability to do so out of the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/628fa4a7-11b4-48d0-935c-bb139fa7ab9f/intuition2.png Features - Fake Instagram Pages: Scamming, Gut Feelings or ‘Women’s Intuition’? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/vita-kari-on-the-viral-storm-and-the-vast-internet-universe monthly 0.5 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/190587ae-1bbd-4e66-9da0-7495fd6b845d/vita+1+%281%29.png Features - Vita Kari on the ‘Viral Storm’, Art on Social Media and the Vast Internet Universe - Make it stand out “I think a lot about being in the eye of the viral storm,” artist Vita Kari says.

Longer and more literary than transcribed interviews, more voyeuristic than an editorial shoot, the form can orchestrate some unreplicable interactions. How often does someone with a Chanel contract fit someone with J-school debt into their schedule? The artist/critic/comet Cookie Mueller once defined art as the “spirit [captured] in matter.” To me, a good profile is an artist’s persona captured in digital media. It’s eulogy, tennis volley, socratic seminar, and becoming more and more watered down. In 2018, the New York Times’ Jon Caramanica announced the death of the profile. Causes of death included: journalists’ limited time with and access to celebrities, pivot to video, publicists’ fear of losing narrative control, social media (generally), and decreased respect for traditional media outlets among younger, social media based stars (cue that scene from "The Idol"). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a452d1d-f162-4cf6-a8e3-73f820556ba8/profile2.png Features - Exploring the Lost Art of Celebrity Profiles - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-taking-away-the-takeaways monthly 0.5 2024-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/457612d6-f1d1-4dbc-956d-420c52f40e68/takeaway1.png Features - Love Bite: Taking Away the Takeaways - Make it stand out It’s Lent, which means it’s time for some abstinence, baby. I grew up Catholic, so when it comes to this time of year, I always consider giving something up, even if I don’t actually end up doing it. This isn’t because pressing pause on the stuff I like comes particularly easily to me - I am someone who spends most of my disposable income in restaurants and refuses to leave even a solo lunch without ordering the stupidest, most coquettish dessert on the menu - but more just because I’ve done it throughout my life. As a kid, when Lent came around I’d always give up chocolate or sweets or crisps (I’d usually pick the one I liked the least) for a few weeks. We were encouraged to do it at my Catholic primary school – we’d make wall displays about the stuff we’d chosen to give up, or the new, better habits (“being nice to my brother”; “always saying thank you”) that we’d try to adopt. The religious idea behind Lenten promises is that as you gear up for the hottest comeback of the year – the resurrection of Jesus, which is marked by Easter. You make some sacrifices and some improvements, and then you get to celebrate by enjoying the thing you temporarily left behind once again, hopefully with a new appreciation for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3edd4f7f-880a-42c9-83d6-2522fb2c931f/takeaway2+%281%29.png Features - Love Bite: Taking Away the Takeaways - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-ever-happened-to-the-vengeful-ex-wife-and-how-do-we-get-her-backnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c6a5cc61-36c7-4aa0-8b54-9012cd948dcf/ex+wife.png Features - What Ever Happened to the Vengeful Ex-Wife, and How Do We Get Her Back?&nbsp; Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but I like mine with a musical number. More specifically, Velma Kelly’s Cell Block Tango in the musical Chicago. Here she shimmies and gyrates the audience into agreement that murdering her husband was necessitated. And since her husband did draw first blood with an extramarital affair, can you tell her that she was wrong? Velma’s rallying cry “He had it coming!” is a deliciously wicked sentiment for anyone who has ever been burned by a lover. But her message cuts deep for another reason. She taps into an overindulged yet pervasive question about women’s worth: what happens to a wife when her husband no longer wants her? Enter Ruthless People, She-Devil, Death Becomes Her, and First Wives Club: four films that centre on women who have dedicated themselves to helping their husbands achieve success, only to be dropped in the final hour for someone else. What results are dark portrayals of these ex-wives trying not only to get even, but to actively destroy their husbands’ lives. The lead characters of this 80s and 90s subgenre are unapologetically righteous and revengeful: antiheroes who lash out against patriarchal expectations that they should internalise their failing marriages as character flaws. But while these movies maintain cult followings, the storytelling behind them has largely been shelved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d215fb81-7381-4319-8479-60a1b6bb4cc6/ex+wife+2.png Features - What Ever Happened to the Vengeful Ex-Wife, and How Do We Get Her Back?&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-the-piano-teacher-and-the-femcel-community monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/144ab071-bcbb-4567-8dd6-d1b8b714e9bb/piano.png Features - Film Fatale: The Piano Teacher and the Femcel Community The Piano Teacher (2001) is being hailed as a femcel classic. The film, following Erika (Isabelle Huppert) in an entanglement of sexual desire, repression, and self-hate, is a rare portrayal of a woman who - although has talent, a respected place in her community, and good looks - just can’t seem to fit in. During our age of alienation, where online communities of girls are crafting personalities around being an unloveable void, Erika represents the pinnacle of femcel life: at home with mother, feeling incapable of developing a relationship and having an itch for escape that can never be scratched. In all its bleakness, The Piano Teacher is a beautiful film. We may never have had Miu Miu F/W 23 if it weren't for Erika’s outfits. The costume design of modest and pristine button-ups and cardigans with knee-length pleated skirts and grey jumpers are the nail in the coffin for the film's popularity with any femcel-adjacent woman, or even a girl that is just a bit unnerving - a predecessor for the femcel archetype. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acd2a237-bdd7-4cbf-84ab-c8d0119fe5a7/piano2.png Features - Film Fatale: The Piano Teacher and the Femcel Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/on-self-documentation-your-iphone-notes-app-remembers-all-your-past-selvesnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/641e3bf7-c1e1-4a8d-a37f-5719504cb3b7/notes+app2.png Features - On Self Documentation: Your iPhone Notes App Remembers All Your Past Selves&nbsp; The words “apple cider vinegar” appear twenty-three times when I search my iPhone Notes app. Buried in a mélange of thousands of disjoined notes since 2012, the year I got my first iPhone, ACV has been a recurring character.

Not once in twelve years. “Why did I write it down?” Joan Didion asks as she unravels the convoluted and compulsive nature of keeping a notebook in Slouching Towards Bethlehem. She surmises it’s a habit that “begins or does not begin in the cradle.” Her musings, often too obscure or erratic to be discernable to anyone but their author, ran the gamut: a log of the day’s chores and her accompanying emotional state, a quote from an older woman as they drank wine by the sea, disparate facts like “smart women almost always wear black in Cuba”, and a recipe for sauerkraut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b731a93-78d8-46bb-b95f-e9f2555ad78a/notes+app.png Features - On Self Documentation: Your iPhone Notes App Remembers All Your Past Selves&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/zia-mccabe-of-the-dandy-warhols-on-revisiting-dig-new-music-and-the-joys-of-being-topless monthly 0.5 2024-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc05c6ae-fd7d-4069-a58c-f162affc2172/zia+1.png Features - Zia McCabe of The Dandy Warhols on Revisiting Dig!, New Music and the Joys of being Topless - Make it stand out The Dandy Warhols defined the late 90s and early 00s: spontaneous, cool, and incredibly moreish.

Now that may be because I am still in active grief over the loss of a friend, or that my emotions are a lot closer to the surface since giving up drinking, or even just the January blues - or it might be because The Shangri-Las were the voice of my childhood and every day takes me further into the unknown.

I began to wonder if Casey was meant to be my next big romantic interest and whether my ex had been just a delicious cookie crumb that led me to her. I’d never even been with a girl. The closest I’ve come was at 21, when the sister of a guy I was dating pushed me up against the landing wall and kissed me when I’d crept to the family bathroom in the night. They looked alike in the dark but she was softer and kinder, a better version of him. I liked the idea of looking at and caressing breasts but the vagina horrified me, in the way the Ikea instructions horrify me. I know how incredibly complex it was for me myself to operate, to do so for someone else is far beyond my abilities. When I told her this, Casey laughed: “Hahahahahaha. I find that vagina owners are pretty innately excellent at operating vaginas.” I remain convinced I’d never slept with a woman for the same reason I’d never built an Ikea cabinet: not for lack of desire but a learning processing issue. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-meadow-to-melfi-gendered-power-imbalances-in-the-sopranos monthly 0.5 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5f181b5a-6ab4-43c3-ba3f-610c5f330bdd/soprano+1.png Features - From Meadow to Melfi: Gendered Power Imbalances in ‘The Sopranos’ - Make it stand out Long nails, gold jewellery, real fur coats. That’s the life of a mob wife, a woman married to someone in the Italian mafia, at least according to the current trending aesthetic. But on The Sopranos - which celebrated its 25th anniversary last month - the glitz and glamour is not all that it is made out to be. Throughout its six season run, The Sopranos followed the life of mob boss Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and his many women, from his hateful mother and controversial sister, to his fraught relationship with daughter Meadow, back to his dark haired comares (aka mistresses, pronounced as goomars throughout the series). The star at the centre of Tony’s Oedipal hatred of women is his wife Carmela (Edie Falco) - a homemaker with style and flair. Carmela’s power comes from the fact that her husband runs the mafia, which is probably why she never ends up officially leaving him despite her ethical concerns and their constant screaming matches (when they do separate for a bit, she eventually returns). Her mutually beneficial relationship with Tony grants her a big home and expensive items, in exchange for being his beautiful Italian housewife, the caretaker of his home, the mother of his children and his legacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e19e72a7-0d94-449a-b215-2c2b72f99a7a/soprano+2.png Features - From Meadow to Melfi: Gendered Power Imbalances in ‘The Sopranos’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/a-dirty-word-for-bitter-girls-an-ode-to-blog-era-feminism monthly 0.5 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a58002e4-5775-4e21-bf38-7c9143335b09/y2k1.png Features - “A Dirty Word for Bitter Girls”: An Ode to Blog Era Feminism - Make it stand out If TikTok’s algorithm has identified you as having demographic information that aligns you to feminist content, your swiping experience may look like this: Open app. Watch a 20-second video of a young woman expressing discomfort with cosmetic surgery trends.

Justine and her co-writer Arthur Harari, construct the narrative of a bisexual, multilingual, acclaimed writer who is accused of her husband’s death, and albeit she is put on trial hardly lawfully, to the point of fiction, what is actually on trial is her moral dignity as a free, powerful woman. More than just a courtroom drama, the act of falling is the central theme of this film, physically and allegorically, and perhaps “falling” has become the stereotypical, run-of-the-mill script of how women in positions of power are traditionally portrayed. With the limiting number of films that place such a woman at the centre, we are offered the highly ambitious woman emblazoned with all of her idiosyncrasies as the basis of how she climbed the patriarchal ladder. Not only do we perceive this sculpted idea of a woman as near impossible, but we assume there is always something wrong with her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3595246d-2fd3-417d-9063-d8a029a72d27/ambition2.png Features - The Anatomy of the Highly Ambitious Woman: Cinema’s Complex Relationship with Successful Females - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/quen-blackwell-will-always-be-relevant-the-vine-comedian-on-absurdity-acting-and-having-a-laugh monthly 0.5 2024-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144179384-T5QVUJU5UNW9U2W25UOG/QB+x+YVN+2.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh Whether you know Quen Blackwell from her hall of fame Vine videos often featured in the Vine compilation videos of yore, her TikToks of a similar comedic vein or her domination of every other corner of the internet, the point is that you know who Quenlin is on sight.

It’s been over a decade since Blackwell first went viral and she has her sights on continuing her global takeover in 2024 - we caught up with the multi-hyphenate to see what’s on the cards for the next 12 months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144284295-OBX8WJ0FQKASMSZQOC0T/QB+x+YVN+12.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Top: Dsquared | Heels: Louboutin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144257571-SLXXODTQGOFG56QQKU58/QB+x+YVN+10.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Dress: David Koma | Heels: Jimmy Choo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144203301-WDS6M384C3I5BSPX9LT8/QB+x+YVN+6.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Bodysuit: Ahluwalia | Tights: Versace | Heels: Louboutin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144176142-5SLMI6EJFZKTV5Z0N30C/QB+x+YVN+3.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144284675-U5WE1FVG0QBLY1UAO3TL/QB+x+YVN+13.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1707144225108-0WM933UZ4X1BRE2RINAQ/QB+x+YVN+8.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Pink coat: Versace | Pink skirt: Versace https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b50230e3-6c24-4751-b3c9-de174f024872/QB+x+YVN+1.jpg Features - Quen Blackwell Will Always be Famous: the Vine Comedian on Absurdity, Acting and Having a Laugh - Make it stand out Necklace: Vanessa Baroni https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ew5h8ivyax9vsy7tfkxxwjgxqansku monthly 0.5 2024-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af18f051-b17a-4ab5-add7-e7a43897fc3a/do+nothing.png Features - Do-Nothing Feminism and the Documentation of the Banal - Make it stand out If you are a TikTok user, it is likely you have had ‘I think I like this little life’ ringing round your skull recently. The earworm is the backing track to the “little life” trend – a viral format where young, mostly female creators interweave vignettes from their daily lives. The flawlessly curated montages often portray the same activities: getting coffee, going to Pilates, picnicking with friends, reading, eating, cleaning – banal practices that, in any other space, wouldn’t garner as much attention. Trends like this are precisely what social media was designed for – a way for the average person to let others in on what they get up to day-to-day. It is true that most people’s lives consist of dull activities like getting coffee, cleaning, eating. It is also true that these acts are anything but revolutionary, so why are they being presented as such? I am calling this phenomenon “do-nothing feminism”, and there is no more accountable a figure for its emergence than British feminist author Florence Given. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8eea4f65-312c-4b14-87b8-5048e384b85f/do+nothing+2.png Features - Do-Nothing Feminism and the Documentation of the Banal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/starry-eyed-the-rebellious-history-of-beauty-patches monthly 0.5 2024-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d1a5dfe0-ed91-4b89-8ecc-3bb543ddc8c0/patch+1.png Features - Starry Eyed: The Rebellious History of Beauty Patches - Make it stand out During one of my endless scrolls of art accounts online, I came across a painting that made me pause my thumb from virtually rummaging for images. I was stopped in my digital tracks while looking at an image featuring accessories that seemed, to me, too contemporary and frivolous for the era it was created in. Painted by an unknown artist around 1650, Allegorical Painting of Two Ladies features two women are sitting next to each other at an angle, dressed in gowns where the neckline sits delicately at the edge of their shoulders with voluminous sleeves, nearly identical diamond necklaces encircle their necks, but the most eye-catching accessories depicted in this painting decorate each of their faces. Crescent moons, dots, and miniature constellations are placed in identical spots on each of the sitters’ faces. Faintly inscribed behind one lady is a text that criticises the use of cosmetics, but particularly beauty patches that were en vogue during this time period - it seems rebellion against beauty standards is timeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe10a237-3bb7-40ad-b0a7-199743adeea0/patch2.png Features - Starry Eyed: The Rebellious History of Beauty Patches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/desejo-branco-is-a-celebration-of-place-family-and-heritage monthly 0.5 2024-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19bbc5a1-08b5-4fd8-bc19-523dd593a7c4/fiscal4636.jpg Features - ‘Desejo Branco’ is a Celebration of Place, Family, and Heritage - Make it stand out In Alicia Portillo Vazquez’s Desejo Branco photo series, she celebrates the women and the place who made her.

This is a recreation of what they mean to me and where we grew up until where I am now as a person and as an artist.

There are a couple of magical things about this sketchbook by Greer Lankton from September 1977. The first, that it exists and has survived. The second, that it has been published and is now widely available in this physical facsimile form. Greer Lankton is a trans icon, a trailblazing artist from the downtown Manhattan scene of the 1980s. She was best known for making doll sculptures: sometimes creepy, often wonderfully strange, usually very funny, occasionally terrifying. She made dolls of Divine, Andy Warhol, Candy Darling — and a cast of her own characters, including Princess Pamela, Cookie Puss, Missy, Sissy, and Grandma Tillie. Much of her work was displayed in the window of Einstein’s — a boutique fashion store run by her husband, Paul Monroe — but she also had exhibitions at the Civilian Warfare gallery. In 1995, her sculptures were included in both the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Biennale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56ad146e-0b6b-4dfa-a7bf-22a6d776aff5/greer+2.png Features - The Poetic Prophecies Of Greer Lankton - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/empress-of-pop-era-interview monthly 0.5 2024-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e7aa14e-ebad-4c4f-9093-c02b58090000/EOfP-1.png Features - Empress Of is Entering Her SexyPop Era - Make it stand out Lorely Rodriguez, known professionally as Empress Of, has carved out a unique space, transcending generic boundaries. Over the past decade, the Los Angeles-born artist has dedicated herself to refining her artistic skills - she has contributed her talents to various projects, collaborating with artists such as KITO, Khalid, MØ, and Lewis Ofman, all while continuing to develop her own take on pop. In 2022, her EP Save Me left fans eagerly anticipating new music. To satify them, last September, Rodriguez returned with single Kiss Me featuring Rina Sawayama. Shortly after, Rodriguez released Femenine, a dynamic burst of adrenaline that showcases her exceptional talents. The first Spanish-language track on her upcoming album For Your Consideration, the track signifies a notable evolution in Rodriguez's artistry. Amid pulsating beats and synths, she explores new sensations of dominance and power through bold lyrics, with a captivating video to match. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d6a90174-2a78-4813-af79-b8cdd60b0bd0/EOfP-6.png Features - Empress Of is Entering Her SexyPop Era - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/981e96f4-0e47-4e4e-a05b-5a1ba4ee9313/EOfP-3.png Features - Empress Of is Entering Her SexyPop Era - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1ef4d63-207e-4a3d-8c55-136c5db5e220/EOfP-10.png Features - Empress Of is Entering Her SexyPop Era - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/87d7ad2f-f72d-459f-a7d8-b0c2c8a2de79/EOfP-12.png Features - Empress Of is Entering Her SexyPop Era - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-late-stage-capitalism-changed-the-real-housewives-shticknbsp monthly 0.5 2024-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/133f3bc7-afd9-46bf-bd4f-f99094da641c/housewives.png Features - How Late Stage Capitalism Changed the Real Housewives Shtick&nbsp; When Erika Jayne Girardi joined Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2016, she was infamous for a few things: her pulsating sexuality, her 80-year-old lawyer husband Tom Girardi, and, of course, her bazillionaire status. While Erika was in good financial company – Bethenny Frankel of NYC was the queen of her Skinny Girl empire and fellow RHOBH cast member Lisa Vanderpump had swans floating around Villa Rosa, her estate – Erika’s money was different. It was straight out of Wolf of Wall Street, in all its provocative, sexy, dirty, new money glory. Armed with a six-person glam squad and “a couple of houses [she] doesn’t visit,” Erika had the kind of money Jesus Christ named as a sin in The Bible. This was all part of the Erika Jayne charm. Her gaudy style paid homage to dominatrixes and she moonlighted as a gay icon popstar. “My kitty’s like a python, // tick-ticking like a time bomb,” she chanted to a sweaty crowd in Ibiza. No one thought Erika Jayne was a good person, but she was captivating TV. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b5a4e4f1-40f3-4502-a364-ffd2c5e377b3/housewives+2+%281%29.png Features - How Late Stage Capitalism Changed the Real Housewives Shtick&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-art-collective-taking-on-their-mp-collective-ending-artists-speak-out-on-gaza-inaction monthly 0.5 2024-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94042aa0-b4fc-498c-9c62-427629082861/poster+1.png Features - The Art Collective Taking On Their MP - Collective Ending Artists Speak Out on Gaza Inaction Collective Ending, the artist-led studio and gallery complex in South East London, has launched their first local activism campaign targeting just one individual: their local MP. The Deptford-based art collective have released a poster campaign calling out their local MP, Labour's Vicky Foxcroft, for abstaining from voting for a ceasefire in Gaza. They refer to this abstinence as a refusal to comment on the 20,000+ lives that have been lost due to the ongoing violence towards Palestinian civilians by the Israeli government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ded53456-2484-45fa-ac97-278d8f3b6dfe/poster+2.png Features - The Art Collective Taking On Their MP - Collective Ending Artists Speak Out on Gaza Inaction - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/xxx-and-lol-behind-the-scenes-as-a-porn-producer monthly 0.5 2024-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/134e6a39-84e6-4858-8389-6ee12717234c/ph2.png Features - XXX and LOL - Behind the Scenes as a Porn Producer - Make it stand out Most people don’t realize this but, porn scenes actually have a script.

She wears a white suit in a gleaming sinuous satin fabric. The opulent minimalism of her look is made ethereal by a halo of stars on her head and an icy blue drape of colour across her lids and cheeks. The bulk of her hair is pinned at the nape of her neck leaving two thick strands flowing from a central parting in front of her shoulders, giving it the two-dimensional look of the early renaissance art period. The collection’s first six looks are all elegantly minimal with the beauty, and those halos, being the main clue as to the Catholic vision which is about to unfold. Erin O’Connor appears in a one-shoulder black gown, a haze of transparent black smoke across her lids, drifting to her cheeks. A matte coral red is pressed into just the centre of her lips and on one cheek an appliqué of three black tear drops. The Met’s Andre Bolton said “Beauty has often been a bridge between believers and unbelievers” and whilst fashion does love to apply irreverence to the sacred, I think designers have long been inspired by Catholic iconography for the pure reason of its objective and overwhelming beauty as much as they have for the desire to toy with the taboo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bff2c72-33a0-45b2-8b99-d0029ca0cb0b/runway2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Reverent, Referential Catholicism of Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 2007 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/reading-hrh-collection-through-the-lens-of-susan-sontag monthly 0.5 2024-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5d475d6-a4ab-4432-b5a6-d23ba23ce86d/hrh.png Features - Reading HRH Collection Through the Lens of Susan Sontag - Make it stand out The infamous YouTuber and influencer HRH Collection (real name Alexandra Pierce) is known for her controversial and impassioned takes on just about everything. From food to hairstyles, she covers nearly every aspect of modern day consumerism through an almost purely emotional perspective - something that most people have been conditioned to not do, as we are used to trying to stay analytical. Her inflammatory anger at the most banal topics and her dichotomous reactions are truly a pure response to the world around her. Her responses mimic the teachings of a seminal essay written by the essayist Susan Sontag, Against Interpretation, of which the thesis reads “in place of hermeneutics we need an erotics of art” - meaning that we need to approach art through our sensibilities and not through logic and reasoning. Sontag goes on to explain how ever since the ancient Greek philosophers, western culture seems far more preoccupied with the content of an artwork over its form. We are too used to asking ‘What does it mean?’ as opposed to ‘What do I feel about it?’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa03eca7-21a4-4dc0-836d-9722218a2b39/hrh2.png Features - Reading HRH Collection Through the Lens of Susan Sontag - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-tiktok-food-videos-are-the-internets-saving-grace monthly 0.5 2024-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67d60d0a-a81e-4018-b480-e85d8571e49f/cooking+1.png Features - Love Bite: TikTok Food Videos are the Internet’s Saving Grace January is rough.

I was captivated by the beauty of re-imagined folk tales, reproductive impossibilities and surreal mycelium networks. Like successful science fiction, body horror reminds us not of what’s wrong with our bodies, but of what’s wrong with cyclical trends of beauty. It reminds us of state-sanctioned injustice, highlights the violence of institutions, patriarchy, and plastic surgery. It reminds us of how we are punished for reasons beyond our control. In Night Bitch by Rachel Yoder, the protagonist feels hair growing only she can see, and feels her teeth sharpening ready to sink into flesh. What if my body has something no one else can see? What if I felt there are aspects of fictional body horror that I started to live? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/738d0e38-a4cf-49da-8d46-cb0ecdfa51db/birthmark2.png Features - I Talk to my Birthmark: Reimagining the Literary Genre of Body Horror - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/undressing-shanzhai-gender-and-authenticity-in-the-counterfeit-luxury-goods-market monthly 0.5 2024-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c214cba4-1146-4fd0-a394-ff61ca6d9275/chinese.png Features - Undressing Shanzhai: Gender And Authenticity In The Counterfeit Luxury Goods Market The patronising stare of the Western world has always reduced the ideas of the rest of the world to stereotypical uniformity, the world of Shanzhai being no exception. For years the internet has seen endless memes of Abibas shoes, KLC fried chicken restaurants, Pingguo (meaning ‘apple’ in Mandarin) phones, and Dolce & Banana shoes.

Though we might see Shanzhai as a quirky facet of Chinese culture - where international brands and products are replicated and culturally hybridised to meet the expectations of its Chinese consumers - its cultural roots run deep and, unsurprisingly, what little understanding that non-Chinese have of the phenomenon does not include recognition of the highly-gendered nature of such creative work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aaec2a18-720d-4869-bd2e-8acd8f1e92f1/chinese2.png Features - Undressing Shanzhai: Gender And Authenticity In The Counterfeit Luxury Goods Market - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/community-and-catharsis-meme-page-admins-on-the-comfort-of-making-content monthly 0.5 2024-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33ebd49c-65d7-4bce-9d47-e858d581f687/meme1.png Features - Community and Catharsis: Meme Page Admins on the Comfort of Making Content - Make it stand out Meme page admins are the unsung heroes of the internet, spending their days thinking up endless iterations of the same meme format and sifting through the infinite pool of internet content. Unpaid and often anonymous, the people behind these accounts are just in it for the meme-making process. Now that algorithms shepherd similar internet users together, meme page admins have become overseers of massive digital communities. The internet has splintered off into hyper-niche communities that bond over shared offline experiences and have no problem sharing their innermost feelings with each other.

Her falsetto lulls with the flippant urgency of having to take a pause to satisfy nicotine withdrawals (which in distinctive moments interspersed within her discography you can actually hear). Del Rey’s penchant for vaping made headlines this past summer when she dropped her vape pen on stage mid-show and asked the crowd to help her find it. The evolution of Del Rey’s on stage tobacco consumption, from the grimy yet cinematic puff and smoke of Marlboro Reds to the Apple flavored vapor of Puff bars, is emblematic of the cultural shift around the perception of smoking as it pertains to gen z. In a recent Substack essay Slovenian philosopher and cultural theorist Slavoj Žižek considers the contemporary view of smoking as an indefensible lethal addiction from a Lacanian perspective; juxtaposing the calculated indulgences of the ‘enlightened’ consumerist with the excessive hedonism of the “ignorant” addict. Writes Žižek: “Enjoyment is tolerated, solicited even, but on the condition that it doesn’t threaten our psychic or biological stability: chocolate yes, but fat free, coke yes, but diet, coffee yes, but without caffeine, beer yes, but without alcohol, mayonnaise yes, but without cholesterol, sex yes, but safe sex…” He argues that the one consumer good that cannot viably be repackaged to fulfill the prerequisites of ‘healthy’ enjoyment in its traditional form is the cigarette. In order to obscure the health risks associated with tobacco consumption, it has to be reinvented completely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4a6b7cf-6a8d-477f-a040-416b333e4d53/vape+2.png Features - From Cigs to Rollies to Vapes, Why has Having a Puff Remained Popular? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dreamgirl-chapter-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a2c7fbb2-dc12-4699-8c0a-05c40f3740b2/emma+1.png Features - Dreamgirl: Chapter 1 Explores Making Friends with Your Partner’s Favourite Porn Star A mid-life love story arrived as my reward at the end of five years of celibate single parenting. The things I’d done alone all that time - the desire whispered late night to the moon, or removing spiders on my own - became an alchemical combination that seemed to conjure him. It was the most intensely sexual relationship I’d had. When, suddenly, at the year and a half point, he could no longer get hard with me, I had flashbacks to trying to wrangle a toddler when they’d lay down on the pavement and refuse to get up. I was meant to stay calm instead of letting my distress become palpable, thus feeding the disregulation cycle. But, in both instances, I couldn’t help it. I kept picturing myself as Tom and Jerry - naughty but harmless! - and his penis as the unseen human that leaps, screaming onto a chair whenever it spies them in the kitchen. How this shocks the leaper and the leapt at. It’s not winnable. I felt very small. Not in the turned on way of losing myself in a big man’s arms. I felt, of course, that this failure to expand him had diminished me. I felt bad about myself (surprised that there were new ways, post-divorce, to feel bad). https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sleater-kinney-on-little-rope-london-fans-and-letting-the-music-do-the-talking monthly 0.5 2024-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7cbb5e1d-2b46-4ed0-bb1a-a674a70611d3/sleater+kinney+cover.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Sleater-Kinney are one of the most important bands in the world. Their history is enmeshed with the lore of modern rock and roll – born as they were from the riot grrrl movement, to which contemporary music and feminism in general owes so much – but 30 years into their career, their work remains as forward-looking and propulsive as ever. In 2024, Sleater-Kinney are still making music which feels like sticking your fingers into a plug socket. On 19th January, the band – comprised of Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker – will release their 11th album Little Rope. At little over 30 minutes, the record is a response to both personal loss and the seemingly never-ending cycle of violence in contemporary culture at large. Musically, it makes a frenetic return to many of the characteristics at the heart of Sleater-Kinney. When I first heard it, the songs felt like brand new jolts of energy, but there was a familiarity about them too, because they were channelling something essential about the band. As Brownstein puts it, “there's a lot of urgency and restlessness.” To discuss Little Rope – we well as the role of the artist in the digital age, and why British fans are the most receptive to change – Copy Editor Lauren O’Neill sat down with our first Polyester cover stars of 2024 after two sold-out London shows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c57e041-9cd0-4717-ad83-6be8124d740d/5.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a840cfa4-902f-4506-9000-a8ed8d24c550/sk1+%281%29.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/84609e8f-a818-466c-836b-d97a06a76bdb/9.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07fcc3d2-958c-4bb9-a8ef-93deec9a4715/3+%281%29.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/297b82e1-088b-456c-b936-0a6db300d62d/6+%281%29.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82e75e14-82e6-433e-8573-e2a1065b2d86/8.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/636680ad-6d97-4cd5-9743-8ffd0a81ab71/sk2+%281%29.jpg Features - Sleater-Kinney on ‘Little Rope’, London Fans and Letting the Music Do the Talking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/reframing-rotnbsp-how-laziness-became-commodified monthly 0.5 2024-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67250987-ba50-4c4e-8812-c1a1adb9d0e3/bed+rot.png Features - Reframing Rot: How Laziness Became Commodified - Make it stand out Self care has shaped the early 2020s: The path to enlightenment has become entwined with the notion of needing to make use out of every waking moment, having different shaped ice in each thermal cupped beverage and wearing a different loungewear set each day. It’s become a universal understanding that if we inject our days with copious streams of self-care, the possibility of feeling depressed, stagnant or stressed out ought to be almost impossible. All you need is an aesthetic to-do list on a pink iPad to consult each morning. This overly-dynamic lifestyle is now being challenged, and in its place comes its festering, unproductive litter sister. Bed rotting, a term first coined on TikTok, culminates in the mindset of reclaiming the time you spend in bed and embracing the art of barely existing. As a response to the highly consumerist entity of the current self care landscape, bed rotting began not only as an act that was non-expectant and affordable, but entirely personal - how you choose to rot is your business so long as you’re doing it under a duvet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a1511360-ddef-4c3c-a850-6d9ae365bfc5/bed+rot+2.png Features - Reframing Rot: How Laziness Became Commodified - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-morgiana-and-the-scheming-woman monthly 0.5 2024-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21af98b3-085c-4be4-b042-11e8a3f06032/morgiana.png Features - Film Fatale: Morgiana and the Scheming Woman - Make it stand out A spiteful woman in head-to-toe black who adores graphic liner, lace and sees the world as her enemy: we all know this person, or maybe we are her. Faced with too many personal setbacks, paired with the company of happy people, it can be hard not to become a creeping, looming, Poe-like figure filled with hate and lucid dreams of revenge. While the insecurity and lust of vengeance feels embarrassing individually, cinema has a great way of easing the blow by crafting enticing, striking women who are similarly filled with hate and schemes: Margot in All About Eve (1940) sipping Martinis and throwing around quick witted jabs to the younger Eve who is coming for her legacy; Madeline and Helen in Death Becomes Her (1992) as they gruesomely fight over a man and go to great, camp lengths to regain their youth; or in more bloody sense, Asami Yamazaki of Audition (1999) expressing in many brutal ways why you should not waste her time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dac5fa8e-4aa3-4e2c-a68b-5185608cead9/morgiana+2.png Features - Film Fatale: Morgiana and the Scheming Woman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fragrantica-unhinged-reviews-and-the-joy-of-niche-internet-spaces monthly 0.5 2024-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7a2a51e-9833-4285-8229-24709d089e07/perf2.png Features - Fragrantica, Unhinged Reviews and The Joy of Niche Internet Spaces “Azure sky over an opulent winter wedding / doves bleeding into snowbanks … a vow of youthful purity – forever”.

Her electronic sound, particularly on new album VILLAIN, combines techno beats with orchestral tunes to tell detailed stories with intricate character arcs and deft nods to China’s cultural history. Leaning into the martial arts genre of Wuxia, the output of this multifaceted creative is seeking out the highs and lows, villains and heroes of everyday life through a dystopian narrative. Speaking with senior editor Gina Tonic, Jing digs into the sounds and aesthetics that influenced her newest release, as well as the past five years of making music under the Akini Jing cyborg moniker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6796c1f4-c887-44dd-bcac-d76276269cfd/akini+2.png Features - Akini Jing is the Cyborg Musician Combining Techno with Chinese Orchestra - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lena-dunhams-girls-and-the-longevity-of-unglamourising-mental-health monthly 0.5 2024-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/64fe086a-4952-479c-b09c-1291daa9e157/girls.png Features - Lena Dunham’s Girls and the Longevity of Unglamourising Mental Illness Our culture has grown used to eating disorders and addictions and waifish depressions eating at our creatives, and the romanticisation of these problems tends to place them at the root of the artist’s success. The coquette aesthetic, Otessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, and eating disorder Twitter all owe their success to this commodification of instability. From Susanna Kaysen to Effy Stonem, the glamourisation of the suffering girl has been an ongoing trend in the media we consume. Lena Dunham has problems, too. Her vivid, performative self-hatred comes across in interviews, reviews, and most episodes of her series Girls, which ran on HBO for six seasons between 2012 and 2017. Throughout the show’s run, we see Hannah Horvath - Dunham’s semi-autobiographical avatar - wallow under the pressure of financial independence, pretend to experience grief when all she feels is emptiness, and perforate her eardrum with a Q-tip. Dunham paints mental illness as ugly, as something you’d want to avoid at all costs. Because of this, her work remains irreverent even as the millennial culture of her heyday inches its way out of popularity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a793e708-07e7-418e-8091-dce20dcb15a6/girls2.png Features - Lena Dunham’s Girls and the Longevity of Unglamourising Mental Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/plain-white-mvs-2024-boasts-the-return-of-an-industry-favourite monthly 0.5 2024-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7603e38-2006-4243-a280-5e085c8948fa/mv1.png Features - Plain White Music Videos: 2024 Boasts the Return of an Industry Favourite - Make it stand out The ever so elusive white backdrop is any aspiring artist’s go-to tool for many a reason; it’s an age-old aesthetic that continues to stand the test of time.

On 13 June 1973, David Bowie posed the everlasting question, “Is there life on Mars?” Since the advent of Pinterest chic, the consumerist West has led with a “minimalist” approach in the attempted reaching of a stress-free utopian way of living.

If you know anyone who's experienced a breakup, it’s possible that they watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) to ease the pain. But the breakup movie may be considered a dying art - happy-go-lucky Netflix rom coms are all the rage, while the more romantically jaded amongst us have to find solace in repeat viewings of Normal People.

This may come as a shock to many of you who know me as a creature of the night, someone who only exists in sparkling nightclubs and on dark street corners, but for nearly the last decade, I’ve always been working on New Year’s Eve. Not working in a fun way like performing or putting on a night or dancing on a stage, but working at my boring hotel job, sitting in an office watching the seconds tick away on the computer’s little clock interface. My tradition has always been to get my chores done as quickly as possible, cook the fanciest pizza I could find at the supermarket in the restaurant kitchen, and then sit in the office and watch the camp odyssey known as Showgirls (1995). It’s worked well for me, but this year I’m ready for a change. No more seeing friends at the very beginning of their pre drinks and then following their night via Instagram stories, no more serving the worst people at the hotel bar, no more pretending to enjoy drunk phone calls from my friends in a club smoking area telling me they wished I was out with them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/be008b1e-643b-4988-86c9-862dd78e9be3/boys+copy+%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Best Parties in Cinematic History - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/female-adolescence-isolation-and-hauntings-in-the-work-of-francesca-woodman monthly 0.5 2024-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6767595-50ae-4635-93cc-91006e276ef3/francesca.png Features - Female Adolescence, Isolation and Hauntings in the Work of Francesca Woodman - Make it stand out Though her career lasted less than ten years, when Francesca Woodman passed away in 1981, she left behind an oeuvre of over 800 prints and 10,000 negatives. Most were taken while she was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, which she attended from 1975 to 1979. At the cusp of adolescence, Woodman created her first mature work, Self-portrait at 13 (1972), the pall of which pervades her succeeding photos. Her work captures vulnerability, isolation, and uncertainty; the construction and fragmentation of identity during the transition from girlhood to womanhood. The blurring of her body in works like Space2, Providence, Rhode Island (1976) in which no definitive features can be identified, gestures to the ambiguity of girlhood. It’s a period during which girls are at the threshold of adulthood yet are still viewed and treated as children. During this stage, girls are sometimes referred to as an enigma by those around them: That is, they are difficult to explain or understand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93c748d0-c183-4334-916d-00a513f5d066/franchesca+1.png Features - Female Adolescence, Isolation and Hauntings in the Work of Francesca Woodman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-poor-things-holly-waddingtons-costume-designs-signal-sexual-liberation monthly 0.5 2024-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4bbb263-a933-4aa0-9ba3-a2c4be52ead2/poor+2.png Features - In Poor Things, Holly Waddington’s Costume Designs Signal Sexual Liberation In Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming film Poor Things — based on the book by Alasdair Gray — audiences are expecting a certain level of comedy with a dark twist. The plot alone speaks for itself: a young, Victorian woman, Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), kills herself and a scientist (Willem Dafoe as Dr. Godwin Baxter) brings her back to life with a catch: Dr. Baxter replaces her brain with that of an infant. Bella’s mind evolves in the film but in the body of a grown woman. Laughter and adventure ensue, as well as her own sexual liberation. So it should come as no surprise that the costumes would follow suit: Holly Waddington brought her distinct touches of fantasy and experience which added a dynamic element to the visual storytelling of Poor Things, especially as Bella’s brain develops. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/edeb7fbc-ab18-4c4e-9245-64ed82084bdc/poor+1.png Features - In Poor Things, Holly Waddington’s Costume Designs Signal Sexual Liberation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/hopecore-the-internetification-of-existentialismnbsp monthly 0.5 2024-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7336644b-7f78-4785-ac23-d489c36a9045/hope+1.png Features - Hopecore: The Internetification of Existentialism&nbsp; - Make it stand out In the fragmented soup of life, which sees a chaotic online landscape mirroring the splintering of society towards disarray and dystopia, it seems only natural that audiences are embracing existentialism and nihilism. Existentialism, the philosophical idea that we are free agents, able to prescribe meaning to our lives and nihilism, the rejection of all meaning and value in existence, are two schools of thought increasingly underpinning our lives. Social media since its inception and more latterly between ads has always promoted the sharing of thoughts, ideas, and content, providing a snapshot into the minds of its users. In its underbelly, inhabiting the niche corners of online spaces, web weaving can be found. The Tumblr-born content format, characterised by a hodgepodge of aesthetic imagery, quotes and song lyrics, has long existed to tell the hopes and aspirations of subculture audiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f2db51e-cc9a-486b-a0cb-5a0930a8de35/hope+2.png Features - Hopecore: The Internetification of Existentialism&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dresses-or-pyjamas-sartorial-choices-in-film-depictions-of-christmas-day monthly 0.5 2023-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1e3b35c-ea08-4f03-8181-91997c04b690/xmas+1.png Features - Party Dresses or Pyjamas? Sartorial Choices in Film’s Depictions of Christmas Day - Make it stand out Do you dress up or down on Christmas Day? It’s a question that feels equal in calibre to queries around whether Yorkshire puddings belong on your plate, and the correct time to open presents. The notion of dressing up for Xmas can be traced back to the Tudor period, where Henry VIII was partial to popping on brand new clothes for the occasion. In the Victorian era, Christmas celebrations got into full swing, ordaining varying degrees of formal dress depending on what kind of event you were attending on the 25th. And it was in the ‘90s when strict dress codes for Christmas apparently ended and everyone went for an “anything goes” vibe. Thirty years on, there’s really no inkling that choosing to dress down on Christmas day would have once been a bold rejection of the status quo. Now, it’s simply a matter of personal preference. And in contemporary Christmas films, whatever that preference may be is made into a meaningful extension of each character’s identity. With all the mad stuff that happens in recent films of the genre — Keira Knightley realising she’s “quite pretty” while wearing a fugly hat for one — this sartorial choice often, unfortunately, fades into the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/684c558a-9cbb-40c0-9b43-8864f14d7958/xmas+2.png Features - Party Dresses or Pyjamas?

Seemingly overnight, all over the area I live – and in some other places too – the same image was sprayed repeatedly on pavements. On closer inspection, I clocked that it was the Burberry logo – known as the Equestrian Knight Design – given a slight update under the fashion house’s then-new chief creative officer Daniel Lee, and deployed around the capital. When I looked the stunt up online, I learned that the logo spraying was part of a larger Burberry campaign which sought to launch Lee’s first collection, Winter 2023, around London. The aims were to underline the brand’s foundations in the city and to align it with iconic British images and landmarks. Bond Street station, for example, became “Burberry Street station” (catchy!) for a day, and some black cabs were covered in Lee’s new signature Burberry rose print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ea997de-508c-4131-b665-81dc71e48f81/food+2.png Features - Love Bite: 2023 was the Year British Food and British Fashion Collided - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-the-art-of-christmas-makeovers monthly 0.5 2023-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b4172bbc-224b-4a6d-862e-d6dc3f2174a8/makeover+1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Art of Christmas Makeovers - Make it stand out What do The Phantom Thread and Batman Returns have in common? Nothing! Except of course they are both set at Christmas and both contain my favourite subject, makeovers. And so, if Christmas is the season of holiday roundups and listicles, I thought I might get away with a semi-intellectualised but faintly ridiculous comparison between two of my favourite films. Is The Phantom Thread a Christmas movie? Yes! As well as literal Christmas scenes within the film, we get alpine snow, formal wear, a perfect fantasy of a New Year's Eve costume party and the sort of intense stressful interpersonal relationships that are psychologically linked with the claustrophobic feeling of Christmas with family. Also more importantly we get the Christmas movie staple: a lightly coercive makeover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7b1b2bf5-f521-42f9-b2c9-14e69aaadd87/makeover2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Art of Christmas Makeovers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-the-passing-of-time-and-being-too-much-for-instagram monthly 0.5 2023-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee52c546-cb4c-4823-8609-6a98d4ef87a1/1+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Passing of Time and Being Too Much For Instagram - Make it stand out It's coming up to the end of the year, and girls, it’s been a lot. At the risk of sounding old, the months have truly flown by and I can’t believe 2023 is over. In some respects, I’m pleased to have made it through relatively unscathed, particularly after the long desperate summer depression that came after the loss of a friend, but I’m also scared at the idea of life slipping through my fingers. Another year gone with no great romance, another year working a dull night shift job to pay the bills, another year growing apart from friends, closer to others, losing touch with crowds that made things exciting, but also finding so much more.

Rather, I am here to act as a historian, to document what might otherwise be lost.

The trope comes in several forms, but all of them have the same main idea: a conventionally attractive woman, usually blonde, with a culture just different enough to make it "exotic", is simultaneously romanticised and exploited. A “token Slavic wife” seen on TikTok or Instagram memes is always immaculately puttogether, jealous, and possessive. In the eyes of incels online, she stands in stark contrast to the women of the West, who have been tainted by feminism and wokeness. As a mail order bride, she is grateful for the opportunity to escape poverty, and willing to repay her debts in any way she can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c370580-62bc-4e80-b5bb-3b68ae619ffc/slav+2.png Features - What's Lurking Behind the ‘Slavic Bimbo’ Aesthetic? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-longing-and-communion-weyes-bloods-year-of-radical-acceptance monthly 0.5 2023-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c790144a-baa4-4c5c-88a7-0fa6376737d0/weyes+1.png Features - Love, Longing and Communion: Weyes Blood’s Year of Radical Acceptance - Make it stand out Natalie Mering, better known by her moniker Weyes Blood, has spent the last year performing in moody theatres, purpose built gig venues and cavernous concert halls as part of her In Holy Flux Tour. Mering’s presence on stage is haunting; her melodic, potent voice swallows you whole, and as she prances across the candle-lit stage in her signature floor-length Proenza Schouler dress, her heart literally glows. Earlier this month, at Mering's 110th show of the year at the Eventim Apollo in London, I experienced this spiritual awakening first-hand as she belted out songs of narcissism and detachment, of love and longing, of the inevitable toll of the human condition. "One of my favourite parts of touring is seeing how each city connects with my music; sometimes, the mood is sombre, but playing in Spain and Portugal on this run has been so fun because they turn my melancholic show into a crazy, rowdy party where everyone sings along," the LA-based artist tells me over the phone. I catch Mering en route to Glasgow, another city she considers a highlight on her tour. "The audiences in Glasgow are so crazy; they love music; they scream and shout. It's incredible to perform to a crowd like that." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a04b410c-e2ba-4021-aa80-2ce8acdddc71/weyes+2.png Features - Love, Longing and Communion: Weyes Blood’s Year of Radical Acceptance - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/peach-prc-on-overnight-fame-confessional-songwriting-and-coming-out-on-tiktok monthly 0.5 2023-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/821dc992-e920-4744-8bca-17c71dee6e75/peach+1.png Features - Peach PRC on Overnight Fame, Confessional Songwriting and Coming Out on TikTok - Make it stand out There are few musicians as omnipresent online as the Adelaide-born popstar Peach PRC. Her candid TikToks – where she discusses everything from sobriety to sexuality – probably won’t be far from your FYP. Since her mammoth musical success, however, which began in earnest with the single “Josh,” released during lockdown in early 2021, you’re just as likely to see her riding high at the top of a Spotify playlist. Since then, she’s had a wild ride – she’s performing at some of Australia’s biggest events (her first ever live performance took place on TV) while still maintaining her deeply relatable online presence. As such, she’s a decidedly new type of popstar for a new type of era.

The crying, the fainting, the yearning; it can be deemed garish to be so open. These actions create fluids and sounds, the women on the screen and in the cinema chair - or the sofa in their living room - have a chance to drip with emotion, to finally let it all out. Despite a harsh critical reception, the women who saw these films made up the majority of cinema goers (compared to a comparatively equal split of male and female cinema goers today) and loved melodramatic pictures - the genre dominated the box office in the 1940’s and 50’s. Stars like Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford thrived with flowing tears and broken hearts, offering relatable characters and story to the female viewer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfa45d36-5efc-4d6d-84a2-86f683ab23c4/may+dec+2.png Features - Film Fatale: May December, Female Orientated Cinema and How Todd Haynes is Keeping the Melodrama Alive - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/unravelling-the-what-about-me-effect-and-the-rise-of-me-core monthly 0.5 2023-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/98727233-a747-4008-b962-f179937c5731/mecore+1.png Features - ​​Unravelling the ‘What About Me’ Effect and the Rise of Me-Core - Make it stand out In 2023 a cultural shift has taken place, evidenced by everything from disruptive behaviour on aeroplanes and people throwing things at concerts, to netizens romanticising the most mundane parts of their lives. In a world grappling with widespread issues like ongoing conflicts and political upheavals as well as more technical debates over the impact of AI and otherwise, people are compartmentalising the complexities and chaos of the world by going inward and making themselves the main characters in their own stories. If you’re wondering what this looks like in action, it resembles Scott Disick and his egotistical personality on old series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians or Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw who sets out to be the centre of attention at all times. While 2023 was the year main character energy levelled up and set the tone for the way people process and experience life, the trend dates a little further back, beginning in the dreariness of quarantine lockdowns when bored teenagers flocked to TikTok to craft ironic videos that cast themselves as the "main characters" in everyday situations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/66f9891c-acdb-4bd6-bf55-39646e20841e/mecore2.png Features - ​​Unravelling the ‘What About Me’ Effect and the Rise of Me-Core - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/unmasking-omegle-the-chatroom-will-always-be-racial monthly 0.5 2023-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c07660b2-7072-4e23-9690-a2686dc34c3f/chat+room+1.png Features - Unmasking Omegle: The Chatroom will Always be Racial - Make it stand out 2023 has killed social spontaneity. As we wave off BeReal and Omegle is put to rest, how we view authenticity in our online spaces has reduced massively this past year alone. Omegle, a website known for ‘talking to strangers’, was shut down in November 2023 due to claims of sexual exploitation of young people but founder Leif K-Brooks created the website at age 18 with the idea that an internet connection should be leveraged to connect with the “many interesting people and ideas the world had to offer”. These ideals of “social spontaneity”, as K-Brooks put it in his statement, had been abused by “a malicious subset of users”, leaving its creator no choice – after heavy moderation – but to shut up shop. As gen z and generation alpha became increasingly tethered to technology, they warmed to the Omegle as an isolated space, one where their comprehension of the internet’s capacity to connect to others broadened just as much as their understanding of themselves. The website would randomly pair you with another user, anywhere in the world, and begin a video call with a text chat. “These chats could be as long or as short as you chose. If you didn’t want to talk to a particular person, for whatever reason, you could simply end the chat and – if desired – move onto another chat with someone else,” K-Brooks explained. “It was the idea of ‘meeting new people’ distilled down to almost its platonic ideal.” You are labelled ‘You’ and the other user is aptly named ‘Stranger’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94d72f34-310a-4597-ab7f-d86a00e5fb56/chat+room+2.png Features - Unmasking Omegle: The Chatroom will Always be Racial - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/liana-liberato-on-true-crime-scream-vi-and-based-on-a-true-story monthly 0.5 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1a80077-3f6e-475b-9cfd-4b9a71356936/LL_Polyester_hi+res-1.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out 2023 has been a banner year for actor Liana Liberato – over the past 12 months, she has found a firm niche, having established herself as one of the newest leading lights in contemporary horror. After an appearance alongside Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka in the slasher Totally Killer, as well as donning the genre’s most iconic mask as one of three Ghostfaces in Scream VI, Liberato has since turned her hand to comedy-drama, in the Peacock series Based on a True Story. Starring with The Flight Attendant’s Kaley Cuoco and Sharp Objects’ Chris Messina, Liberato plays Tory, the sister of a woman whose husband becomes embroiled in a murder case picked up by true crime obsessives. The series satirises our cultural obsession with true crime, and is part of the wave of pop culture critiquing our macabre tastes. Polyester Deputy Editor Gina Tonic caught up with Liberato to chat about everything from her own thoughts on true crime, to how it felt to play one of horror’s most storied characters – alongside a shoot inspired by Lizzie McGuire, Cheetah Girls and all our other Disney Channel faves, by photographer Savana Ogburn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/908bf5db-3eb7-4b82-b2e6-a7363780598d/LL_Polyester_hi+res-3.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/812a542c-651b-4fde-b9c1-3a49d978b8be/LL_Polyester_hi+res-8.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d4f6870-1b37-457e-a4de-b01af121b744/LL_Polyester_hi+res-10.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9fe3224b-e6fa-441f-9f66-16c52e2ec66e/LL_Polyester_hi+res-2.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/53a8307e-585d-4b18-b3f6-aad9c9f6b693/LL_Polyester_hi+res-12.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b069f67d-4c79-4101-a965-37a7d31c9af6/LL_Polyester_hi+res-11.JPG Features - Liana Liberato on True Crime, Scream VI and ‘Based on a True Story’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/merry-lamb-lamb-on-vulnerability-in-music-exodus-and-utopian-visuals monthly 0.5 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fda55fb0-ba00-4511-a6ae-69864c849a52/PRESS+SHOT_4.jpg Features - Merry Lamb Lamb on Vulnerability in Music, Exodus and Utopian Visuals - Make it stand out Merry Lamb Lamb is the Hong Kong born, London based electronic musician creating an airy, atmospheric soundtrack for her experiences of solitude in the city, growing closer to nature and a melancholy journey of finding belonging. Lamb’s new EP Exodus features analogue sounds and vintage synthesisers, and is a fresh example of how the electronic music genre is expanding and bending today. With tracks focusing on themes of disconnection from your environment and reality, Lamb is an example of how electronic sounds can evoke complex emotion - creating a wave of music that brings you into nostalgia and sentimentality. Lamb’s openness of personal experience within her music, conveyed via her trilingual lyrics as well as sounds, is for listeners who want to find comfort. As well as her music, Merry Lamb Lamb has amassed an online following showcasing her personal style, self described as “unexpected, experimental, and future-forward.” Collaborating with brands such as Gucci and Acne Studios, Lamb is not stopping anytime soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42e7c7c8-131b-4e5a-9cc7-5c02ee3a5424/LEAD+-PRESS+SHOT_1+%281%29.jpg Features - Merry Lamb Lamb on Vulnerability in Music, Exodus and Utopian Visuals - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/birth-control-sex-workers-and-standing-by-your-mancountry-music-and-second-wave-feminism monthly 0.5 2023-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13fea560-3e1d-468a-83ca-48cd56718936/country+2+%281%29.png Features - Birth Control, Sex Workers and Standing By Your Man:Country Music and Second Wave Feminism - Make it stand out When Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man was released in 1968, a time of great unrest in the United States, and in the midst of second wave feminism, it was panned by many feminists as the antithesis of the movement. Wynette’s pain-tinged voice, warbling on about forgiving badly behaved husbands wasn't exactly the message the likes of Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan would have wanted women preaching to other women. But this isn’t to say that during this period, there weren’t women in country music singing songs about feminist issues. Many were, about topics like birth control, sexual freedom, and empowerment through identity, plus many a miniskirt, however, not many of these singers saw themselves as feminists. Partly because they didn't feel that their working class backgrounds were represented by second wave feminism, as well as country radio stations refusing to play anything they deemed “women’s libby,” which would hurt their career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f0eab07-4c2b-433b-96ee-f76e9250a8d0/country+%281%29.png Features - Birth Control, Sex Workers and Standing By Your Man:Country Music and Second Wave Feminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/hackneys-finest-eliza-rose-jeanie-crystal-and-rhiannon-isabel-are-the-creative-team-prioritising-working-class-visibility monthly 0.5 2023-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ed28ae8-bd84-490a-9dd7-c6ade77b6f8b/0001805-R1-29-30_Eliza+Rose_Tuscany_SEP23_SP.jpg Features - Hackney’s Finest: Eliza Rose, Jeanie Crystal, and Rhiannon Barry are the Creative Team Prioritising Working Class Visibility - Make it stand out As the title of her Summer ‘22 house hit with Interplanetary Criminal suggests, Eliza Rose is indeed the Baddest Of Them All. No stranger to the East London club scene, the Hackney-based DJ, singer and music producer climbed her way to the top of the charts with certified-platinum prowess following festival traction and TikTok virality. Today, she’s the love of the masses. Responsible for directing several of Rose’s entrancing, spirited visuals is Jeanie Crystal - fellow DJ, visual artist and co-founder of FabooTV. Look no further than Rhiannon Barry, stylist, archivist and former co-owner of Wavey Garms, as the brains behind some of Rose’s signature fashion moments.

Now that every other person you know runs a Substack, it can seem pointless to tune in to most cultural criticism, which feels like a toss up between Joan Didion if she were chronically online or Hunter S.

Can I live my truth? I’ll just come out and say it: I’m not really that bothered about Christmas dinner. Roast potatoes are good, of course, and it’s nice to eat such an elaborate meal knowing that everyone else is doing the same, but when it comes to actually eating the thing, there’s something about the whole affair that always seems a bit bland and underwhelming to me. But that’s not to say I turn my nose up at Christmas food entirely. In fact, quite the opposite: I think there’s no better time of year for eating. I love the morsels: slathering toasted slices of panettone with salty butter, layering up a bagel with lox and cream cheese on Christmas morning, carefully picking off and unwrapping the little chocolate tree decorations with a reverence I save for basically nothing else in my life. It’s all just such a treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93a1f5c4-1e30-4734-82ec-8555ba0e4798/picky+2.png Features - Love Bite: Girl Dinner, Picky Bits, and the Fabulous Frivolity of Party Food - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-tyranny-of-perfume-ads monthly 0.5 2023-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b43b6688-e894-4620-bea3-a579671d75b8/perfume+2+%281%29.png Features - On the Tyranny of Perfume Ads - Make it stand out You know the woman in the perfume ad. She is gorgeous, thin. She’s turning heads on a night out; she’s in her power. She dances, laughs. She toys with the adonis. She emotes, but so beatifically it doesn’t leave a trace. Her script may change, but the message rarely does: there is a goddess in all of us. We can do what we want, when we want. It’s our moment to change the world. We’re free; we’re wild; we’re beautiful. Bold, tick. Modern, tick. Comfortable in our own skin - tick, tick, tick. These adverts are media artefacts heavy with the language of 21st-century popular feminism and the subtext is ultimately the same; that womanhood is an individual endeavour of transformation, aspiration and improvement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4340f95-4c44-49b8-9e76-55115e2a9c7f/perfume+1.png Features - On the Tyranny of Perfume Ads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fictions-role-in-the-rise-of-the-anti-work-movementnbsp monthly 0.5 2023-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c290302-2d01-45b4-9fe8-6dd0df494ff9/anti.png Features - Fiction’s Role in the Rise of the Anti-Work Movement&nbsp; - Make it stand out In recent years we’ve witnessed the rise and fall of hustle culture, which was criticised, parodied, and memed into oblivion. More recently we seem to be seeing the same level of criticism levelled at traditional jobs and workplaces. Online trends like the ‘lazy girl job’, the cutesy name for a job with decent pay for minimal effort, and viral LinkedIn posts from out-of-touch CEOs and solidifying LinkedIn’s place as the most cringe social media platform, show how contemporary work culture is being questioned. This ‘anti-work’ movement is growing on platforms like Youtube, Reddit and TikTok, and more and more of our culture and entertainment is starting to reflect this, particularly literary fiction over the past few years with releases like Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter, Several People Are Typing by Calum Katsulke, Temporary by Hilary Leichter, Finna by Nino Cipri, and We Had To Remove This Post by Hannah Bervoets all falling into this genre. Novels that explore the workplace, its absurdities and its cruelties aren’t new, but the sudden recent rise seems to be indicative of the rising tide of anti-work sentiment. Take classics like Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, a novella about a man who feels so dehumanised by his work as a travelling salesman that he transforms into a giant insect. Or Herman Melville’s short story Bartleby, the Scrivener whose titular character’s famous line “I would prefer not to” in the face of his Wall Street boss’s demands still reads like a rallying cry for those beaten down by endless Zoom break-out rooms, team days out, and meetings that could have been emails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48dbaf9e-7787-4924-b6d6-72ec13b0b632/anti+work+2.png Features - Fiction’s Role in the Rise of the Anti-Work Movement&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lesbian-lofts-style-interiors-opulence monthly 0.5 2023-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b4bbc749-93fd-4b2b-be18-607998695dc4/lesbian+loft.png Features - Raw Opulence: The Interiors of the Lesbian Bachelor Pad - Make it stand out As Jenna Lyons, draped in khaki silk and tears of diamonds, escorted fellow Real Housewife Erin Lichy through her home on the latest season of Real Housewives of New York, Erin took note “What a pad - it's a pad!” It is, a loft useful only to Jenna Lyons where the shoe closet is half the bedroom, and bedroom half the apartment. Exceptional in its media coverage, Jenna’s home is defined by patinated objects of affection, unlacquered brass surfaces, and incidentally draws from a design discourse of cultured consumption and the modernist imagination luxuriated in the bachelor pad. Playboy popularised the bachelor pad amidst the sexual revolution of the ‘50s and ‘60s and glamorised alternative lifestyles for men outside of the traditional family structure. Prior to this postwar movement, a “pad” referred to small, transitory spaces where criminals, sex workers or similarly peripheral individuals might find a temporary place to crash. The pages of Playboy rebranded the pad as the setting for the solo urbanite of means and independence. With concealed millwork, gadgetry, bourbon and sexual conquest, Playboy brought masculinity back into the domestic sphere, and created a new class of consumers who could have opinions on lounge chairs, while its centrefolds assured its reader of his heterosexuality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f689a67-fc7f-44b5-a95e-58d86928a1ef/lesbian+loft+2.png Features - Raw Opulence: The Interiors of the Lesbian Bachelor Pad - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-in-defence-of-miserys-annie-wilkes monthly 0.5 2023-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0f62ebe7-1b69-4393-9822-3770d2a7ed6c/annie.png Features - Film Fatale: In Defence of Misery’s Annie Wilkes&nbsp; Fan culture has been the backbone of media industries for centuries: After Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893 in The Strand, mass unsubscribing that almost made the magazine bust, furious letters, and men wearing all black mourning gear around London ensued. Doyle killed off Holmes because he disliked writing the stories as they distracted him and he wanted to direct his career in a more ‘serious’ direction, unfortunately for him the fans were rabid and he decided to resurrect the detective, probably fearing for his own life. Even before this, the first iterations of fan fiction were already in existence. In 1726, readers were writing their own additions to Gullivers Travels. Depraved fan art also ensued, like this one where they’re putting a cannon up his ass. Maybe we shouldn’t blame the dark sides of fan culture solely on the internet. Maybe it's in our blood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65890032-fddd-45d9-81e6-63715509e055/annie+2.png Features - Film Fatale: In Defence of Misery’s Annie Wilkes&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/we-ride-at-breaking-dawn-why-are-vampires-back-on-trend monthly 0.5 2023-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c21dd67-cb64-444d-94d1-d23cf080847e/vampire+1+%281%29.png Features - We Ride at (Breaking) Dawn: Why are Vampires Back on Trend? - Make it stand out When I was growing up I lived and died by David Boreanz’s glistening abs: In 1997 David starred as Angel, the angsty vampire-with-a-soul destined to brood eternally for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy, on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. In the three seasons Angel spent as Buffy’s beau I was never not aware of just how cursed Angel was: cursed by gypsies to live for eternity with a soul, cursed by his past identity as rapist and pillager to never experience true happiness (penetration) with his one true love (Buffy), and cursed by The WB’s wardrobe department to never be draped in anything less than silk cut to the navel. I simply could not look away. There were two things about their relationship that appealed to my teenaged self. The angst of wanting to have sex with someone but not being able to, and the absolute devotion they held for one another. They literally went to hell and back for the relationship. That’s ultimately what I took away from their love story; love is a sacrifice. If you don’t bleed for it, it isn’t worth it. Their relationship would mark the first of many human girl/vampire man relationships to dominate the pop culture landscape - and my libido - in an era of entertainment I’m calling the Fang Banger Era: From the years 1997-2009 vampires were inescapable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acdbe306-21d1-418b-b2e6-2628b851571c/vampire+2.png Features - We Ride at (Breaking) Dawn: Why are Vampires Back on Trend? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/trisha-paytas-cover-2023-jordan-firstman monthly 0.5 2023-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1700825017914-KKM3HJ1KH2X3MW1ZC7B8/TRISHA+PAYTAS+COVER+ACTUAL+FINAL.jpg Features - Trisha Paytas on OnlyFans, Free Will and Her ‘Mother’ Era - Make it stand out For our November cover, Polyester commissioned writer, comedian and actor Jordan Firstman to interview Trisha Paytas, one of the internet’s longest standing creators, at home in California. “I don’t think there has been a day that has gone by in the last 3 years where I haven’t thought about Trisha Paytas, or consumed some of her body of work in some way shape or form. She’s the one person that my algorithm knows not to hide from me. Others come and go, but Trisha is for life. And for so many this is true. Trisha is for life. When I found out Polyester was doing a cover with Trisha, I immediately begged to interview her. When it was confirmed, I posted to my close friends and I got more congratulations messages from my friends than any project I have ever worked on. It was a big deal for me. There’s something about Trisha on the internet that is both completely unfiltered and candid while also remaining mysterious and unknowable. Trisha IRL is almost identical to the Trisha we know now online, but with an added warmth. She is ditzy and smart at the same time.

Beauty becomes an extension of femininity, of being a "woman." But what constitutes beauty? The age-old adage: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" comes to mind. This is a relatively fair claim that emphasises that ideas of beauty can mean different things to different people but is, as most cliches go, a blatant oversimplification. It is apparent now more than ever that individual tastes are not free from white supremacy, fatphobia, ageism and sexism. Yet this deliberate programming by advertising and mass media seems to be stuck in an infinite loop that sees bodies, faces and even ethnicities as trends. Popular for one trend cycle and gone in another. Beauty, at least the form of beauty that sells us mascara, retinol and filler, is predetermined by what is socially acceptable. In her formative book, The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf argues that "the beauty myth is always actually prescribing behaviour and not appearance," speaking to the behaviours and rituals that one must repeat to attain and hold onto beauty. While cis-gender men have their own complicated relationship with beauty and masculinity, beauty can often feel like a prerequisite to womanhood. Perhaps this conflation of beauty and femininity is why many artists in the 1960s and 1970s turned towards the grotesque, the ugly and the abject in their exploration of femininity and the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7559d6e5-55bd-4d0b-8568-2015564853fa/zara+2+%283%29.png Features - Art Rookie: Abject Women, Feminine Beauty and the Art of Elena Garrigolas&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tissue-paper-is-the-anthology-spotlighting-the-fun-contradictory-side-of-the-trans-experience monthly 0.5 2023-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60402be5-873a-4aeb-b528-6cd450b7dde3/tissue+paper+1.jpeg Features - TISSUE PAPERS is the Anthology Spotlighting the Fun, Contradictory Side of the Trans Experience - Make it stand out “Of late, trans writing always seems to come from crisis,” write Sam Moore and Donna Marcus Duke in the introduction to TISSUE PAPERS, their new anthology. There are, they say, fewer spaces for trans writing to simply ‘be’ – and so, their anthology TISSUE PAPERS was born. TISSUE was initially conceived as a series of events, allowing trans writers to come together in one space. The next logical step was a collection of writing. Issue one’s theme “MAKING” with sections including “BABIES” and “MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLEHILLS” which shed light on different aspects of the trans experience. The motivation for the project, ultimately, Moore and Duke say, is that “the best – and most interesting – way to understand the lives, loves and struggles of trans people is to simply give them a space where they can express themselves in all their uncertain, contradictory, monstrous glory.” Here, Polyester speaks to them about doing just that: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/907b2c18-7fd7-4298-bd5a-201fda4a1d77/tissue+2.png Features - TISSUE PAPERS is the Anthology Spotlighting the Fun, Contradictory Side of the Trans Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/angst-is-for-the-girls-exploring-how-existentialism-shapes-the-adolescence-of-women monthly 0.5 2023-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cacfecb7-56e4-42b2-9ed6-f3d50bcb6687/angst++2.png Features - Angst is For the Girls: Exploring How Existentialism Shapes the Adolescence of Women - Make it stand out Existentialism and the questioning of self are at the centre of many coming-of-age tales: Who are you? And why do you like what you like? Unfortunately, this line of questioning does not cease, even when you become a bonafide adult, but in your formative years these questions seem louder and more pressing as you aim to rationalise internal and external changes with an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, confusing boundaries between childhood and adulthood, and an influx of hormones messing with you. Naturally, angst is a byproduct of such growing pains, and nobody understands angst more than teenage girls. In the wise words of Cecilia Lisbon: “Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl.” Television and film have illustrated, albeit clumsily at times, the akin relationship between girlhood and existential dread through the beloved ‘angsty girl’ archetype: A young female character, often in her teens with a certain level of indifference, frustration and distaste for the world. Just one episode of Daria paints this character in intense detail. Despite the frequent cheesy lines about defiance and the not-like-other girls-isms, Daria resonates amongst many of us who identify with girlhood for a more imposing reason than most. There is a gender dimension to angst and coming-of-age that this archetype embraces wholeheartedly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a4a9903-ae48-41fa-b956-02e6c26fa2c8/angst.png Features - Angst is For the Girls: Exploring How Existentialism Shapes the Adolescence of Women - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-martini-is-back-how-the-cocktail-is-reflective-of-the-quiet-luxury-trendnbsp monthly 0.5 2023-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9dd34a0b-b234-42d9-8fba-19642c0ae4ad/martini+1.png Features - The Martini is Back: How the Cocktail is Reflective of the Quiet Luxury Trend&nbsp; - Make it stand out Ten years ago, I did not always experience ease when ordering a dirty martini. One of the first times I attempted to order one at a bar in Fort Greene, Brooklyn I was told by my server that they had olives but no olive juice - so would I be okay with a glass of vodka and a skewer of olives? I mistakenly thought I would be - because the snack within the drink was the whole novelty anyway, and this was before I understood the superiority of a gin martini to its vodka-based bastard (though one could also argue the “dirty” martini of my choice is also an adulteration of the original). My timing in turning twenty-one and moving to New York City had been most inconvenient, as I had missed the classic cocktail’s then most recent comeback, likely related to the popularity of Mad Men which premiered in 2007. The difficulty I found in ordering my drink was not always a menu issue or a bar lacking ingredients. Cocktail drinkers are generally assumed to be a more high maintenance bunch and I received the wrath of bartenders due to the stereotype. What kind of person drinks martinis anyway? The ad men depicted by Hamm and Slattery, sophisticated and charming with business always at the forefront? Their powerful predecessors of the eighties and nineties who pioneered the three-martini lunch? Snarky writers and artists whose confidence only seems to emerge under liquid encouragement? James Bond? 1920s gangsters bootlegging in pinch front fedoras? Nihilistic rich housewives in slinky night gowns and fabulous robes? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4e7a09ba-6b01-4cf1-9561-55b7f4b6902d/martini+2+%281%29.png Features - The Martini is Back: How the Cocktail is Reflective of the Quiet Luxury Trend&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fetishisation-fallacies-and-unattainable-fantasies-the-world-is-failing-female-addicts monthly 0.5 2023-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c294312-678b-4b84-abf8-e01aad737842/drink+2.png Features - Fetishisation, Fallacies, and Unattainable Fantasies: The World is Failing Female Addicts - Make it stand out I'm an addict. And like Samirah Raheem, the SlutWalk Queen, I refuse to carry the shame of an intended slur. Language is powerful.

The “as we know them” is important – the role of a ‘cowboy’, a horse-riding livestock herder, is one that has existed and continues throughout the world, from gauchos in the south of Latin America to vaqueros in Mexico and the csikós in Hungary. But cowboys aren’t only people who herd livestock and work on ranches, at least not in the popular imagination. They’re rebellious and dangerous, shaped by North American westerns of the ‘50s and ‘60s, where every hero was a straight, white man. Cowboys, as we know them, are pretty much mythical. This means, of course, that they’re ours for the taking; ours to reinvent continually, the tropes of which we can wind into our own queer narratives, the aesthetics of which we intertwine with our dykey-est moments. The cowboy is a narrative device, allowing us to process our feelings and explore our desires. And the trappings of the western film tick all the queerest boxes: homosocial communities, outcasts from wider society, camp little outfits. Yet, in many ways, cowboy imagery is firmly tied to men and to queer male aesthetics in a way that leaves women and non-binary people in the dust – and the tumbleweeds. Of course, queer culture informs and grows from all parts of itself, and the queerest cowboy pop-cultural moments are there for all to claim and enjoy (or critique, if we choose), from The Village People to Brokeback Mountain to Pedro Almodóvar’s new release, Strange Way of Life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce929ce8-d40e-413b-bb1c-e6f1b81e22ec/ellie+1.png Features - Dressing Dykes: Exploring The Lesbian Cowboy Aesthetic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/reconsider-the-cowboy-an-assessment-of-a-cultural-icon monthly 0.5 2023-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab91201a-3f22-4fd8-9066-a7a5da0557f6/ZARINA+-+SITE+COLLAGE+.png Features - (Re)Consider the Cowboy: An Assessment of a Cultural Icon - Make it stand out Consider the cowboy. Lone ranger, feral gunslinger, roving bandit, shooting from the hip. Beholden to no one, bound by no law and no master. Just him and his horse, free in this wild wild west. His cowboy boots clink, his jeans fit perfectly, he’s got the cowboy hat and the little neckerchief and everything, the whole outfit. Yes, yes — that perfect airbrushed cowboy. Out in the world, there are men on horses lassoing cattle and squealing pigs, of course there are *actual* cowboys. Yeah! But not them. We must consider the glossy Hollywood cowboy. It’s interesting —the image we understand as the cowboy is completely a product of mythology. But mythology is real, old, sometimes it is also true. And film has always been the cowboy’s mythological horse. The first feature length silent film was a Western: The Story of the Kelly Gang. It narrates the adventures of Ned Kelly and his gang of outlaws. And more after, from the Kelly Gang and onwards through history. Film is full of cowboys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4b9a3ce-bf61-4900-8e61-1b44cea24913/ZARINA+-+SITE+COLLAGE+2.png Features - (Re)Consider the Cowboy: An Assessment of a Cultural Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/super-libra-energy-revenge-wife-on-unexpected-inspirations-and-the-state-of-the-music-industry monthly 0.5 2023-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/503e0ff3-0b63-4258-880a-0a51f0766c88/MISSWORLDXREVENGEWIFE_EXTRAS_003.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Revenge Wife always has a vision. Her intricately detailed shows and mesmerising live performances always have layers of meaning behind them. Her concepts are pointed, her mission is to create worlds for her audience. Taking inspiration from drag queen performances, Italo Disco, Y2K dance, and currently, purple amethyst energy, the former HOLYCHILD singer Liz Nistico always has a newness she's laced into her artistic output, and it's always focused on the unexpected. Her string of singles have pieced together a story with the next one, Confessions of an Earth Angel, promising to tie the narratives together. The song immediately feels transcendental: Nistico’s gentle voice lures you in, "I think I'm waiting for you," she coos over the whimsical chorus. "I feel it up and down. I want to have you now," she plays between these naive and commanding tones that shift between her train of thought. Her art and her music always leave room for interpretation; that's just how she likes it. Once you step foot into Revenge Wife's world, it's hard to leave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68014711-726f-467a-84d0-be7472ebe0eb/MISSWORLDXREVENGEWIFE_BB02.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf40828b-bb24-4d8f-af19-38049ce9f4e9/MISSWORLDXREVENGEWIFE_BB04.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd13e00c-3487-428e-ae2c-e84182a8dc56/MISSWORLDXREVENGEWIFE_GD08.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e2b1943-fd2e-4622-a3e7-b26c1bb3ba78/MISSWORLDXREVENGEWIFE_GD014.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f17f68ad-9d03-45a0-bf59-61f4a0de5d07/13+Revenge+Wife+x+Miss+World.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7de0400-85b3-4053-b896-afebb721145c/MISSWORLDXREVENGEWIFE_GD04.jpg Features - Super Libra Energy: Revenge Wife On Unexpected Inspirations And The State Of The Music Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-how-the-films-we-obsess-over-as-teenagers-shape-us monthly 0.5 2023-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94c64e60-c971-4809-869e-4360a99c4411/slade+queen+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: How the Films We Obsess Over as Teenagers Shape Us - Make it stand out When you are a teenager, a single film can alter the whole trajectory of your life.

The concept of the influencer raises images of vapidity, mindless consumption, and one stereotypical look - mannequins for the internet - despite the huge variety of people creating content online which duly influences their audiences. Curator Alexandra Steinacker, who recently discussed the challenge of arts institutions teaming with internet personalities in her podcast All About Art, told me that when it comes down to the term content creator versus influencer that “the latter has gained quite negative connotations throughout the last few years especially because it is connected with paid sponsorships”. We all follow at least a couple of accounts whose posts are peppered with #ad, #gifted, or #pr, and although wary of the marketing plan behind their shares, seeing their endorsement may even have been enough for us to reach into our wallets once or twice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db548234-fbbc-46ff-a621-8cca08145dbd/art+2.png Features - What is the Place of Influencers and Content Creators in the Art World? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/eating-the-erotic-why-the-cherry-motif-has-endured-in-pop-culture monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acd8634c-dc25-42a6-898e-f09979d23e0f/cherry+1.png Features - Eating the Erotic: Why the Cherry Motif Has Endured in Pop Culture - Make it stand out Cherries and their sultry, deep-red allure have become the habitual signifier of sensuality and sex: Whether invoked by familiar idioms like ‘popping your cherry’ or the seductive lyricism of Lana Del Rey, cherries and their connection to eroticism feels inescapable. Throughout the ages, these unassuming fruits have captured the complex interplay between innocence and virginity, all while exuding a subtle, clandestine sensuality. From the music video for Beyoncé's “Blow”, where she boldly sprawls on all fours beneath a canopy of pink neon lights spelling out the word 'cherry,’ to the iconic emblem of Ibiza's renowned nightclub, Pacha, which proudly displays two ripe, pop-art inspired cherries, it doesn't take much to decipher Brian Robbins’ intentions when he depicted Darcy playfully inserting cocktail cherries into her whipped cream bikini in Varsity Blues. While the earliest documented use of the word 'cherry' as a euphemism for the hymen dates back to 1889, cherries as a subtle yet enduring symbol of eroticism were employed by Renaissance artists including Leonardo Da Vinci and Quinten Massys centuries before the phrase found its place in our modern lexicon. Take Joseph Caraud's provocative 1875 masterpiece, Cherry Girl. Here, a young woman encircles a dish of cherries with her left hand, drawing them close to her pristine white apron. As her right hand delicately plucks cherries from the bowl, she gazes at the viewer with a self-assured, almost supercilious expression. From the suggestion of staining her low-cut bodice at pelvis level, to the tantalising pendant that dangles teasingly beneath her chest, the painting is one of many to echo the age-old connection between cherries and desire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fafe790c-b902-4284-ba20-b677af2383a4/cherry+2.png Features - Eating the Erotic: Why the Cherry Motif Has Endured in Pop Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/subversive-secretaries-and-corporate-fairy-tales-exploring-the-resilient-assistant-trope-in-cinema monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc765013-0bd0-43d6-909a-6866386804ba/sec+1.png Features - Subversive Secretaries and Corporate Fairy Tales: Exploring the Resilient Assistant Trope In Cinema - Make it stand out For the past decade, I have supported myself through some type of office job while I have pursued writing on the side. Through my day jobs I have had a variety of powerful bosses in multiple industries. Some were nice, reasonable, and caring enough to give me a slight boost on the corporate ladder, my time with others was not as pleasant. When I was working for one of these horrible executives or middle managers, I did my best to bite my tongue and get through the bad days without flipping over any tables, tying up any bosses or poisoning any coffee. But after a long day bending to the whims of adults whose true passions didn’t seem to go beyond financial reports and temper tantrums, there is nothing I enjoyed more than coming home and unwinding with a film that understood my struggle. The Devil Wears Prada, Working Girl, and 9 to 5 all fall into the category of cinematic delights that give me a sense of corporate catharsis. I can relax seeing characters like Andy Sachs or Tess McGill struggle in ways familiar to me, but ultimately have their revenge against their horrible bosses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28cf5393-bdc5-49ec-8ab4-5e41b2d1d07a/sec+2.png Features - Subversive Secretaries and Corporate Fairy Tales: Exploring the Resilient Assistant Trope In Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-underground-is-reclaiming-the-tube-for-lgbtq-people monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14177b64-a964-4a73-8fc8-a255cd835275/230825000000020004.jpg Features - Love Underground is Reclaiming the Tube for LGBTQ People - Make it stand out Compared to a lot of smaller UK towns and cities, London represents a lifeline for a lot of queer people. The largesse and diversity of the city means that it’s easier to be visibly queer here than it is in a lot of other places – whether that means through PDA or fashion choices that challenge the gendered status quo. While this is worth celebrating, however, being queer in public can still be challenging even in London, with the underground often feeling like a particularly contested space. In recent times, a number of high profile attacks on queer people have happened on public transport in the capital, and in general, hate crimes on TfL against groups including LGBTQ people increased six per cent on the previous year in 2022/23. It’s a grim statistic, but as always, the queer community are endlessly resourceful when it comes to outwardly resisting oppressive circumstances. One project – Anna Schlimm and El Hardwick’s Love Underground – seeks to reclaim the Underground through the medium of art that showcases queer joy on the travel network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a69f23c-0b45-43d7-b93d-0a1f0ae90616/ElH_Flex_240823_+015.jpg Features - Love Underground is Reclaiming the Tube for LGBTQ People - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ceea56e5-71c8-49b8-bc32-78614a7834f4/230825000000020001.jpg Features - Love Underground is Reclaiming the Tube for LGBTQ People - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ad75738e-4e0f-4f2e-b050-6f97b1c2e9e5/230825000000020002.jpg Features - Love Underground is Reclaiming the Tube for LGBTQ People - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/900dd9c2-47a3-4ff4-a4bc-05618de085d4/230830000000010002.jpg Features - Love Underground is Reclaiming the Tube for LGBTQ People - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a477df02-32d4-4a88-a729-2c15a6d41576/ElH_Flex_240823_+017.jpg Features - Love Underground is Reclaiming the Tube for LGBTQ People - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/is-pop-music-commodifying-vulnerability monthly 0.5 2023-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ad1cf45-9f2e-49a9-b226-4f93555cab9b/pop+music.png Features - Is Pop Music Commodifying Vulnerability? - Make it stand out Boygenius’ new EP opens and closes with a Julien Baker led track. Her earnest tone carries the listeners into a space of contemplation and closure from this era of the group’s collaboration. The four track EP retraces old steps as it pulls subjects explored in the group’s coolly-named album The Record into a different focus. The opening track, “Black Hole” tentatively considers a newly discovered supermassive black hole which creates new stars instead of obliterating old ones ('“you can see the stars, the ones / the headlines said this morning / were being spat out by what we thought / was just destroying everything for good”). This sentiment of subverted expectation is a running thread throughout this EP. The supergroup (made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Baker) have had a successful year with the release of their debut album springboarding them into a worldwide tour which included a supporting slot on Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. The three artists, first pushed together by a shared sound and their precise, confessional lyricism, have cultivated a true friendship and working partnership since their debut EP in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e8521a5d-b88d-42d1-9e14-27b70f0d6670/pop+2.png Features - Is Pop Music Commodifying Vulnerability? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/self-destruction-through-self-improvement-the-inherent-body-horror-of-skincare monthly 0.5 2023-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/afcd295b-f7fa-4ec7-974d-f376234d6640/skin+1.png Features - Self Destruction Through Self Improvement: The Inherent Body Horror of Skincare - Make it stand out “Why can’t you be excited for me?” Stacey, the main character in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities episode “The Outside”, asks her husband, who insists she is having an allergic reaction to her skincare. “This is what’s going to fix me,” she says, scratching at her oozing welts. In the episode, directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, socially awkward Stacey breaks out in a rash after using a retinol cream gifted by her coworker during Secret Santa. Encouraged by a cult-like telemarketer who reassures her that “when it hurts, it works,” she embraces her peeling skin and awaits her transformation, hoping to be accepted by her perfectly coiffed and manicured colleagues. Similarly, in Kalley’s Last Review, a short film directed by Julia Bailey Johnson, fledgling beauty YouTuber, the titular Kalley reviews a chemical peel sent by a skincare startup. After a minute and a half she looks badly sunburned, and by the next day, every inch of her face is cratered with bloody sores. Both women see the desiccation of their faces as part of their healing, and they aren’t alone. “The stinging is a little scary (five stars),” writes one real life skincare product reviewer. “I ended up getting some burn spots (five stars),” says another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1637772f-a0d2-49ff-a73a-3b0bf8168f43/skin+2.png Features - Self Destruction Through Self Improvement: The Inherent Body Horror of Skincare - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/im-not-frothing-at-the-mouth-desperately-horny-for-the-telegraph-to-review-the-book-alison-rumfitt-on-brainwyrms-institutionalised-transphobia-and-internet-communities monthly 0.5 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4ad3da03-4b57-4e3a-9ddb-9ed55c16e155/brain1.png Features - “I'm not frothing at the mouth, desperately horny for The Telegraph to review the book” - Alison Rumfitt on Brainwyrms, Institutionalised Transphobia and Internet Communities - Make it stand out The UK government just put a decree out banning transgenderism, gender identity clinics are bombed in terrorist attacks and fascist ideology is slithering off smartphone screens’ newsfeeds to incubate in even the most “progressive” of minds. This is the imagined future in Alison Rumfitt’s new novel, Brainwyrms, and in the wake of Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party Conference speech, it feels more imminent than implausible. Brainwyrms follows Frankie and Vanya, a trans woman and nonbinary person, in the wake of a terrorist attack. Alongside the pair’s complex relationship, Brainwyrms explores obsession, kink, social media, childhood trauma and the insidiousness of online bigotry, in the style Rumfitt is quickly becoming known for: extreme horror made palatable with biting satire and compelling, experimental prose. The book is nauseating and grotesque, a visceral illustration of the UK’s current attitude towards transgender people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/680f1880-4cc1-4f43-9d12-b129ca34e720/brain2.png Features - “I'm not frothing at the mouth, desperately horny for The Telegraph to review the book” - Alison Rumfitt on Brainwyrms, Institutionalised Transphobia and Internet Communities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/postfeminism-that-isnt-pink-lost-in-translation-twenty-years-on monthly 0.5 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfcf8574-e342-435a-ba88-01b35b87495d/lost1.png Features - Postfeminism That Isn't Pink: “Lost In Translation” Twenty Years On - Make it stand out In the late nineties and early noughties, women-centric films were decidedly postfeminist: flicks like The Princess Diaries, Bridget Jones’s Diary and The Devil Wears Prada presented a vision of womanhood that was unburdened from the challenges previously faced by women. As a result, the women at the core of the films were free to live life to the fullest, while indulging in all of their girliest pleasures. But what if this newfound emancipated existence wasn’t liberating, but stifling? That’s the concept at the core of Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation. Twenty years on, it remains as a seminal exploration of a more quiet vision of postfeminism. The term postfeminism is a contentious one: for some, adding that prefix both undermines the work of feminism and implies it’s effectively over. But when it comes to the films and popular culture that emerged around the time of Lost in Translation’s release, postfeminist feels like the perfect descriptor. Scholar Fiona Handyside emphasises that postfeminism is defined by “obsessive self-surveillance” and “a focus on individualism, choice and empowerment”. For Stéphanie Genz and Benjamin A. Brabon, it’s all about “feminine fun”, “female friendship” and the “celebration of (mostly pink coloured) commodities”. They’re not describing Legally Blonde, but they might as well be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93866965-facf-4a24-9888-13863b98f7d3/lost2.png Features - Postfeminism That Isn't Pink: “Lost In Translation” Twenty Years On - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/if-he-dies-he-dies-fat-sexuality-in-contemporary-television monthly 0.5 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9b26970-7add-4a34-824b-698e5a06d78c/fat1.png Features - “If He Dies He Dies”: A Timeline of Fat Sexuality in Contemporary Television - Make it stand out When Empire’s Becky (Gabourey Sidibe) wrapped a big, beautiful leg around love interest J Poppa while reclining on a rooftop settee, the mood was electric. Lust ricocheted through the night sky in this intimate scene from 2015 - arguably one of the first TV moments depicting a visibly fat, feminine character so overtly owning her sexuality. The scene went on to spark the #MyFatSexStory hashtag on social media, through which fat people the world over shared their sometimes blissful, sometimes heartbreaking, always powerful stories about fat sexuality. Prior to this moment, representation of fat sexuality on our home screens was limited. There was Miss Piggy, who has been embraced as a plus-size roll model (get it) over the decades. With her bold ensembles and bolder personality, the horny hog has hinted at the existence of fat sexuality since the 1970s. Yet she is but a small pink pig and therefore intrinsically limited in what she might achieve for the visibility of fat humans shagging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8bd32b84-1af8-440d-a67b-69442cf2c1ab/fat2.png Features - “If He Dies He Dies”: A Timeline of Fat Sexuality in Contemporary Television - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/georgie-henley-on-partygate-creativity-and-navigating-the-industrynbsp monthly 0.5 2024-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/095d9f57-e769-4140-aadc-7588cd6bc14f/georgie+1.png Features - Georgie Henley on Partygate, Innate Creativity and Navigating the Industry&nbsp; - Make it stand out Having started her career playing Lucy in the childhood classics The Chronicles of Narnia, the decisions Henley was to make after such a triumphant beginning would be daunting to any young actor, but it seems Henley has spent the time between then and now crafting a career with only projects she loves and experimenting with different forms - not boxing herself in. With the arrival of PARTYGATE, the Channel 4 docudrama exposé based on the The Gray report, a 37-page document investigating the gatherings that took place within number 10 during the COVD-19 pandemic, Henley is starring as Gracie Greenwood, a fictional Conservative aide. Reminding us of a time many have tried to forget, the show is shining light on the Conservative politicians downing champers and singing karaoke amidst a global crisis.

Whilst history documents the ways in which the body has been racialised, subjugated and condemned, our shared belief in the worth of human life remains, even if we act against it. With death being the only certainty in life, we universally understand our existence to be singular and fleeting. We must use our time on earth wisely, explore our passions and use our abilities. Living a long, happy life if we are lucky enough. This core belief that structures global society and our lives is being eroded by the spectre of artificial intelligence. In technology’s inception, inanimate wires, circuits and pixels only came to life through human touch. As TVs got bigger, mobile phones got smaller and computers quicker, the body began to draw closer to technology. We found ways to digitise fragments of ourselves; uploading our image, our thoughts and words but nothing more. Our sentience and ability to think and be could never be captured, the manufactured and organic remaining separate, until now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22f580ac-e8e0-4bb1-9f87-c332aeaff71e/ai+2+%281%29.png Features - AI Celebrity Chatbots And The Commodification Of The Self - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-paradoxes-of-childrens-gothic-cinema monthly 0.5 2023-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f56d1f3-c694-46b2-9281-a6be602102e3/gothic+1.png Features - The Paradoxes of Children’s Gothic Cinema - Make it stand out Ever since my dad allowed me to watch Signs at the tender age of eight, I’ve been scared of the dark. Something similar probably happened to most kids, whether it was caused by a particularly eerie shot of an alien, an older brother introducing them to Jeepers Creepers or otherwise. Most kids grew out of their fear, but mine, however, didn’t subside. When friends flocked to a local cinema to see Paranormal Activity, armed with the knowledge that it wouldn't do much more than make them jump, I would stay home. And year after year when Halloween ordained that you had to give yourself a scare, I would turn instead to films like Coraline, Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Films from the paradoxical, almost impossible genre known as the children’s gothic. We’re all familiar with these films; the genre is an integral part of that Pinterest brand of “fall” that we turn to each year alongside pumpkin spice lattes and abstract Yankee Candle scents. But their absorption by a depthless aesthetic does them a disservice: What does it really mean to create a film that aims to both scare and accommodate its child audience? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aeb61d3d-062b-4a68-8be4-a03e5d7bb2c1/gothic+2.png Features - The Paradoxes of Children’s Gothic Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rebecca-morgan-is-making-artwork-dedicated-to-the-ugly-and-grotesque monthly 0.5 2023-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d94d174-a7d9-48d2-a3eb-3a1bf3db15db/RM081.jpg Features - Rebecca Morgan is Making Artwork Dedicated to the Ugly and Grotesque - Make it stand out Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania without the ease of finding artistic inspiration online, Rebecca Morgan found relatability and ideas through newspaper comics and her rural environment, set far away from any art school. Her work today is an ode to bumpkin stereotypes and a love letter to her younger self - reclaiming insecurities via brush strokes and sketches that have been presented in galleries across the world. Whilst teaching at Bard College, Morgan is exploring different mediums to depict her hedonistic and at times menacing characters - ranging from sketches to sculpture. Often smoking, often nude and often showing a lot of (missing) teeth, Morgan’s work is instantly recognisable as a rendition of rural Americana that is typically pushed aside and used only for punchlines or stereotypes. Morgan is reminding us that there’s beauty in everything, especially in the things that make people feel uneasy.

Now, after four decades in the fashion industry, Johnson had a day-glo pink store in every counter cultural spot in America and a Betsey Johnson dress was a highly coveted gateway into rebellious adulthood for teenagers across the US. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4270cf7b-b363-4a74-b158-b2db50eedf87/betsy+2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The “Sexy, Happy Girls Next Door” of Betsey Johnson’s Spring Summer 2001 Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-why-possession-will-always-be-relevant monthly 0.5 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/424a20b0-a560-4a88-96fe-a8f8f267c993/possession.png Features - Film Fatale: Why Possession Will Always Be Relevant - Make it stand out An edit to a Mitski track appears before you: Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl (2014), Mia Goth screaming in Pearl (2022), Brittany Murphy shouting about the chicken carcass under her bed in Girl, Interrupted (1999). The comments are loving it, “literally me” says catholicwh0re99. “Me when he doesn’t text back” says writtenbyottessamoshfegh. Soon after its entrance to the lexicon, female rage became a talking point that lost all meaning due to the oversaturation of aesthetic edits, YouTube video essays and Substack piece after Substack piece on the subject. The image of Mia Goth in Pearl manically smiling whilst tears stream down her face became the Can I Haz Cheezburger? meme for Gen Z women. Despite this, there are films that will never fall into this trap of complete memeification and oversaturation due to taking rage to an otherworldly realm. The horrors become tangible and wet in Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession (1981). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b01ba221-d4cc-4994-a7e5-4610970a795e/possession+2.png Features - Film Fatale: Why Possession Will Always Be Relevant - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/where-have-all-the-good-men-gone-the-death-of-the-teen-heartthrob monthly 0.5 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/babce164-559c-43ba-836c-a3b7fdec4e79/heartthrob+1.png Features - “Where Have All the Good Men Gone?” - The Death of the Teen Heartthrob - Make it stand out When I was growing up, the teen heartthrob was inescapable: Justin Bieber, One Direction, and the Jonas Brothers lived on posters amongst the bedrooms and camp bunks where I spent my youth. These mass-marketed, squeaky-clean guys were each positioned as the perfect starter partner, a fantasy notion that felt much safer than the prospects of real-life dating. But in recent years, the prevalence of the male teen idol has decreased immensely. Boy bands and film stars that were once swooned over have aged out of their cuteness, yet their replacements, which in the past were practically lined up by conveyor belt, aren’t anywhere to be seen. Do our strapping young men under the age of 25 just not cut it anymore? Or are young women now finding their nascent romantic experiences outside of traditional means? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76b2e951-236a-4cab-8329-8443155ec84f/heartthrob+2.png Features - “Where Have All the Good Men Gone?” - The Death of the Teen Heartthrob - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/im-pretty-when-i-cry-female-suffering-emotional-authenticity-and-the-digital-age monthly 0.5 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef66a8a8-3ea9-46a2-a756-305cbe441709/crying+1.png Features - ‘I’m Pretty When I Cry’: Female Suffering, Emotional Authenticity and the Digital Age - Make it stand out “I’m grateful all the time / I’m sexy and I’m kind / I’m pretty when I cry.” Olivia Rodrigo sings breathily, with a sarcasm so sickly-sweet it borders on threatening. These lyrics, taken from feminine-rage anthem all-american bitch, have been swept up by young women across the internet seeing their own experiences through her eyes. For a certain demographic, TikTok’s For You page is now rife with wide eyed stares and grins made up of gritted teeth, deeply resonating with and celebrating Rodrigo’s honest frustration, finding some form of release. The song itself is an Avril Lavigne style pop-rock banger for the social media generation, fuelled by clippable, caption-ready anti-affirmations mocking the often oppressive landscape of girlhood. These closing lines though, as liberating as they may first feel and can be, also form part of an undeniable tension rife throughout the feminine experience to expose an ugly truth: Most, if not all, of us have wanted to look hot when we cry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e768ea34-9655-489e-aa1a-d32f53766755/crying+2.png Features - ‘I’m Pretty When I Cry’: Female Suffering, Emotional Authenticity and the Digital Age - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-lasting-impact-of-realness-in-black-reality-tv monthly 0.5 2023-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/32307879-87a0-4f8d-b73d-3304a479e85e/black+tv+1.png Features - The Lasting Impact of "Realness" In Black Reality TV - Make it stand out There’s a scene in the second season of reality dating TV series I Love New York in which Tiffany Pollard, better known by her persona name New York, tells the remaining men competing for her affection that she wants to bring back former competitor, Buddha. In a prior episode, Buddha was kicked off the show for instigating a violent altercation with rival contestant Tailor Made. During the Bachelor-meets-Survivor-style elimination portion of the following episode — featuring Pollard handing out chains instead of roses — she announces that she’s taking back control of the house in her efforts to find true love. She is tired of the mess, delivering the news with confidence and without contrition as Buddha joins her side with a bouquet of flowers. Next to Pollard, her mother and trusted chaperone throughout the series, Sister Patterson, sits in her red chair throne surveying the potentially future son-in-laws as she holds a clipboard with a stack of papers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/73568ef3-4586-46cd-8a43-dccf597a29f5/black+tv+2.png Features - The Lasting Impact of "Realness" In Black Reality TV - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-reddit-communities-that-hate-their-namesakes monthly 0.5 2023-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b33cb54f-a902-4498-b53b-ae863c7abb17/reddit+1.png Features - The Reddit Communities That Hate Their Namesakes - Make it stand out It would be weird for the members of a Red Sox subreddit to hate the Red Sox. It would be odd for the members of a Joe Rogan subreddit to disagree with the core tenets of Roganism. Indeed, most subreddits are pretty in line with how fandoms typically function on the internet: deeply enthusiastic, viciously protective, blind to the faults of their idols. But there are communities on Reddit where disdain for, sometimes outright beef with, their namesake is the norm. I might as well come out and say it now: I love Reddit. I love reading about sardines on the tinned fish sub, learning about gentle parenting on the gentle parenting sub (I do not have children), weighing in on the plumbing subreddit (I know nothing about plumbing). In my lurking, I have discovered two massively popular subreddits that first baffled me, then changed the way I think about fandoms completely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d878936-ae58-43ba-9c08-da8ac4c20888/reddit+2.png Features - The Reddit Communities That Hate Their Namesakes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/bedroom-culture-girls-identity-and-mirrors-up-to-adolescence monthly 0.5 2023-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e514390e-de1d-4aca-86e6-3a10fc5d924b/bedroom+1.png Features - Bedroom Mirrors, Forming the Ego and Why We Are Obsessed with Our Own Reflections - Make it stand out In the 1970s essay Girls and Subcultures, Angela McRobbie and Jenny Garber highlighted the bedroom as a domestic site of cultural engagement for young people. ‘Bedroom Culture’ was a concept developed in reaction to the predominant absence of teenage girls from the analysis of subcultures at the time. The essay proposed that young girls were indeed participating in subcultural lives but in different domains to that of their male peers - their own bedrooms. The bedroom has frequently been explored as a site of significance within the wider context of youth culture, with Siân Lincoln having noted that bedrooms are “often regarded by young people as one of the first spaces over which they are able to exert a level of control, ownership and regulation.” For teenage girls in particular, bedrooms have been identified as an intrinsic site for identity construction, providing a space for privacy, intimacy, and experimentation. Today, as the prospect of homeownership decreases in likelihood, and the commonality of house sharing increases, bedrooms offer a significant space beyond that of teenage experimentation. These days, bedrooms are offices, living rooms, and dining rooms. In turn, they span private, public, personal, and professional domains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/657e8712-ee01-4bfb-91b4-1259d7379bc7/bedroom+2.png Features - Bedroom Mirrors, Forming the Ego and Why We Are Obsessed with Our Own Reflections - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/drew-afualo-cover monthly 0.5 2023-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c99eb5d-aba3-43a2-86a6-5cd2b05f3b65/drew+x+polyester+cover+final.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out This time last year, I often thought my TikTok For You page was broken: I would swipe onto my next algorithmically chosen video, and a gross weasel of a guy would be saying something vilely misogynistic. But then, thankfully, the screen would swap out onto a close up of Drew Afualo, often in her car, and a hyena cackle would crack through the air. In a matter of moments and a series of brutal put downs, the sexist that Drew had stitched would be annihilated in a roasting hot breath of fresh air. “In the beginning, it was just reactionary. My video responses were always just how I would react to these men in real life, but this time I was recording it and posting it on TikTok.” Drew tells me over video call, bright and early her end but starting to darken in the evening on my line. Encouraged by her boyfriend to join TikTok after the enthusiasm her friends showed towards her Snapchat rants, it wasn’t long until Drew’s comment section was filled with men trying to insult and degrade the Californian for her feminist point of view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bc7db3be-cf10-40ac-80ae-227a6f23db52/DrewPolysterzine_10.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out Dress: Saint Laurent | Necklace and earrings: Alexis Bittar | Shoes: Alexandre Birdman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7ff5d63-2672-47f4-8a9e-84e0a4c7c82c/DrewPolysterzine_5.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out Coat: Lanvin | Stockings: Calzedonia | Heels: Vivienne Westwood Bra | Panties: Agent Provocateur | Earrings: Alexis Bittar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/feb97f1f-bc97-42a5-a9b9-cdea36bf0204/DrewPolysterzine_12.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out Scarf: Dior | Earrings: Nana Jacqueline https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/37fe786f-8830-4117-8a54-2d662cb49b05/DrewPolysterzine_7.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out Set: Selkie | Necklace : Dolce&Gabbana | Socks: Calzedonia | Shoes: Vivienne Westwood | Earrings: Nana Jacqueline https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a266db26-b86e-4036-a3f6-d3245c01b7ad/DrewPolysterzine_1.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6deacb6c-ae84-4abb-9d0c-e6df3fb324f2/DrewPolysterzine_4.jpg Features - Drew Afualo on Unpacking Internalised Misogyny, Being Overprotective and Cleaning Up the Streets of Sexist Men - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/entering-the-post-brand-era-anonymous-posting-is-the-ideal-way-to-explore-identity monthly 0.5 2023-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/874f5296-5e51-4caf-8a34-2517dd428030/anon+1.png Features - Entering the Post-Brand Era: Anonymous Posting is the Ideal Way to Explore Identity - Make it stand out “Nobody ever had or was a self.

When it first aired in 1993, The X Files perfectly encapsulated the sceptical mood that encircled end of history era America. In the years following the Cold War, the political climate - both within the series and outside of it - found no obvious international threat, and began to look upward instead. Relegated to the underbelly of the FBI, The X Files cared more for asking the right questions than finding the right answers in its quest for a philosophical and actualised “truth”. It is from this sidelined view that, over the course of the series, Mulder and Scully become privy to the internal failings and conspiracies of the state institutions they serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cefe88af-1d87-4498-b308-d2f6ca347af2/scully+2.png Features - How the State Failed Dana Scully: A Reflection on The X Files on its 30 Year Anniversary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-not-so-hidden-subversiveness-of-girly-girl-stylenbsp monthly 0.5 2023-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc965087-adc4-4982-b1ab-800cd115b5ae/girlhood1.png Features - The Not-So-Hidden Subversiveness of Girly-Girl Style&nbsp; - Make it stand out Girly style, it seems, is everywhere. It’s been done online, with aesthetic communities like cottagecore and coquette leading the cause, as well as on runways, with designers such as Simone Rocha and Sandy Liang at the helm and more and more brands following suit. While styles of the 2010s were focused on being “not like other girls” through eating pizza and dressing indie sleaze, recent trends have been doing just the opposite: embracing girliness with all of its pink, ruffles and lace. This return to girlhood in the fashion space might at first be discounted as nothing but a blip in the larger trend landscape, doomed to carry cheap, pink clothing into landfills en masse, bows and all. But beneath its driving of consumer culture, there is a well of nostalgia, as women participating in these trends seek to subvert popular expectations of what it means to transition from girlhood into womanhood - reclaiming something that many of us lost way too soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35b1a2f2-cb1f-45e4-8575-08e1fe17a812/girlhood2.png Features - The Not-So-Hidden Subversiveness of Girly-Girl Style&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/love-bite-20-years-of-the-pumpkin-spice-latte-the-internets-favourite-drink monthly 0.5 2023-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/95a977d9-20ea-4f6d-8fd3-c5660b3bbd29/psl+2.png Features - Love Bite: 20 Years of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, The Internet’s Favourite Drink - Make it stand out Love Bite is a column which considers the intersection between what we eat and the way we share it online.

Bourdieu argued power and value were not exclusively drawn from, exchanged or accrued by financial means. Putting forward the concept of social capital, Bourdieu argued; that in the same way money holds power and value, so does social position and status. As access to economic capital is affected by class, gender and race, the same rules apply to social capital, giving an advantage to those who are not hindered by a form of oppression. For example, a wealthy, affluent family will have equally affluent connections, more access to a legacy of opportunities and wealth expansion (hello nepo babies). It’s a meticulously constructed hoarding of resources. Bourdieu’s work provides a structure for discussions around a new form of capital: digital social capital. If you are active on social media, you have already begun exchanging and accruing this new, potent form of currency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bed80838-51f6-435e-a4d1-e90a676080b1/tube+girl.png Features - Tube Girl and Pierre Bourdieu; Evolving Social Capital in the Digital Age - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-demon-boyfriends-fulfilling-relationships-and-summoning-love monthly 0.5 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9718c21-c2a1-4947-bb1c-8e09cbddbf99/demon+boyfriend+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Demon Boyfriends, Fulfilling Relationships and Summoning Love - Make it stand out A couple of years ago, during quarantine, I, like many others, tried my hand at some new skills. I tried to summon my own demon boyfriend. I had watched a contemporary Italian horror film that I cannot for the life of me find again, I think it was set in the south and had a haunted house and old witch folk magic and demoniacs and grimoires, and it just seemed like a great mix of a lovely holiday setting and spooky ambience. Kind of like Call Me By Your Name, but instead of your son being seduced by a grad student, he’s being stolen by a demon. And hey, what with the cannibalism and all, maybe they really aren’t that different. Anyway, I started looking up famous old spell books and tomes of magic before settling on The Book of St Cyprian, mainly because I liked the sibilance of the title. My research revealed that it was actually several different grimoires from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, all pseudepigraphically attributed to the 3rd century Saint Cyprian of Antioch, who was claimed to be a powerful pagan sorcerer before converting to Christianity. It sounded thrilling, obscure enough not to be in every goth baby bat’s starter kit, but also legitimate enough not to be sold in anything remotely resembling a wellness section in a crystal shop.

You know what I mean?” Detective Malloy (Mark Ruffalo) tells Frannie Avery (Meg Ryan), in In The Cut (2003), urging her to enter the back of his cop car for questioning about the recent murder of a young woman who was dismembered and discarded in Frannie’s garden. The New York City heat emanates off the screen; maybe his car has a working air conditioner. Reluctantly, Frannie gets in, knowing she can’t really avoid Malloy, who previously waited outside her apartment to begin his line of questioning. Frannie can’t avoid anyone, really — it seems she’s always being followed by strange and questionable men, ones that can get into her apartment when they please and track her down to any building she flees to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e68e3125-b386-41b0-94e6-5e67ca0868d5/cut.png Features - "How Many Ladies Have to Die to Make It Good?" - Surviving the Patriarchal Surveillance State of 'In the Cut' - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shirin-neshat-on-female-imprisonment-generational-ptsd-and-seduction-for-survival monthly 0.5 2023-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e0f689c-72f6-456e-b929-ba264ef4df29/shirin+1.png Features - Shirin Neshat on Female Imprisonment, Generational PTSD and Seduction for Survival - Make it stand out World renowned Iranian film-maker and artist Shirin Neshat is exhibiting her latest work at this year's BFI London Film Festival: Premiering for the first time is Neshat’s two part exhibition, The Fury which takes us through the trauma and emotional turmoil of a female prisoner.

Alongside Tradwives and NPC streamers, there are stay-at-home girlfriends online shopping, girls lip-synching to Kaliii’s Area Codes, and girls searching for sugar daddies while styled as Ariel from the Little Mermaid. Forget Girl Bossing: Some girls romanticise the security of financial dependence on a male partner, others gamify the business of being ‘treated’ by men on the internet. Girls trade on the ambiguous nature of women’s work - care, affect, sex – as well as the invisible nature of women’s money – often coming in the form of gifts, treats, girl dinners, or ‘little somethings’. Right now, my favourites are the ‘asking my boyfriend for money’ challenges on TikTok, where girls ask men they’re dating for cash transfers and record their reactions. Most take the form of screen-grabbed messages. There’s usually lots of pet names in these exchanges, including multiple ways of spelling Babe? Baby? Babyy? Babee? If asked what the money's for, ‘nails’ is a popular answer. To get my nails done, for my hair. For shoes. I need a dress for my uncle’s party. The money is for frivolous, cute, girlish things that the men can appreciate too. The exchanges are mostly cute - never desperate. They finish with a screen grab of a transfer: The receipts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbc1628a-e5bf-4fa9-8cc8-ce3044ac84b2/currency+2.png Features - The Girl is a Living Currency - How Womanhood Has Always Been its Own Economy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/re-orientating-the-industry-pioneering-east-and-southeast-asian-representations-in-music monthly 0.5 2023-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e78984f5-bd09-4ce7-aa19-803d901a986c/music.png Features - (Re) Orientating the Industry: Pioneering East and Southeast Asian Representations in Music - Make it stand out Growing up in the 90s, I was sometimes teased for looking like Mutya Buena from The Sugababes. As a Japanese British person, I looked nothing like her (she is of Filipino Irish descent). But at the time, Mutya was one of the only East and Southeast Asian - aka ESEA - artists in British popular culture that people knew of. Before that, it seemed like Yoko Ono was the only ESEA artist to have captured the British public’s attention in a major way, decades before - even though this attention culminated in a demonisation of Ono for breaking up The Beatles. The portrayal of ESEA people in the British media has been, at best, invisible and connected to a form of the model minority myth - quiet, studious and apolitical - and at worst, a depiction of us as a form of foreign threat, reminiscent of “yellow peril”. I still have lasting, painful memories of Ting Tong the Asian mail order bride, a racist and transphobic character played by Matt Lucas on the riotously popular Little Britain in 2005. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9fb376ab-cf8c-4317-9849-1e6db0d503ad/music+2.png Features - (Re) Orientating the Industry: Pioneering East and Southeast Asian Representations in Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ginnis-guide-to-turning-an-artistic-passion-into-a-career monthly 0.5 2023-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1cdb8685-52be-419a-a4fd-b96682a8be40/ARTWORK-FINAL2.jpg Features - Ginni’s Guide to Turning an Artistic Passion Into a Career - Make it stand out 3D animator and illustrator Ginni’s world is instantly recognisable: hyper colourful, super cute, and so plush and tactile you feel like you could reach through the screen and touch her designs.

It was only eight months ago, however, that Ginni embarked on her current path, having previously worked as a 2D illustrator with a different style. But in listening to her instincts and staying faithful to herself and what she knew she wanted – and learning new skills in the process – she found what she now feels is a style that expresses exactly who she is, a comfort that shines through in her work. Here, she tells us about her journey into 3D animation, how she hit upon her true style and made career out of what she loves, and her advice for anyone who wants to do the same with their art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/47da8284-13fa-4a68-9483-f238d821b3f5/Ginni.jpg Features - Ginni’s Guide to Turning an Artistic Passion Into a Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d6647fe4-a819-42e6-a56b-36ad1c1a0a5b/ARTWORK-2.jpg Features - Ginni’s Guide to Turning an Artistic Passion Into a Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/859f35cd-4cf8-43f5-967b-0348db9a3cf8/artwork-3.jpg Features - Ginni’s Guide to Turning an Artistic Passion Into a Career - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sink-your-teeth-into-humanist-vampire-seeking-consenting-suicidal-person-an-interview-with-ariane-louis-seize-and-flix-antoine-bnard monthly 0.5 2023-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88113323-2ccc-4ee7-bc4d-93b80100d1db/vampire+1.png Features - Sink Your Teeth into ‘Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person’: An Interview with Ariane Louis-Seize and Félix-Antoine Bénard - Make it stand out For some, remnants of the teen vampire pop culture genre have been left to rot in a time capsule, containing Team Edward tees and emo CDs.

Yet now more than ever the all-seeing eye of social media has granted us newfound access, with branded content more desperate than ever to capitalise on the complicated intersection of envy and aspiration we feel when gazing onto what we can’t have. We enter the dream house by way of the YouTube house tour: We gaze, awestruck, as the camera lens fixes on a celebrity ushering us in. We follow them into the interior, on the verge of uncovering something sacred. We can’t help but imagine ourselves on the other side — occupying our own perfect, beautiful space filled with perfect, beautiful things. When the externalities of wealth manifest themselves in the privacy of a home, it denotes not only a certain social status, but a refinement of taste. Combing through the archive of Architectural Digest’s Open Door series, one can observe an emergent aesthetic that unites each home, from Kim Kardashian’s barren stone age accommodations to Dakota Johnson’s green kitchen tiles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79ec8f1e-8709-4a21-b86e-f302ee9d0bc1/house+2.png Features - When Minimalism Isn’t Relatable: Inside the Celebrity Dream House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/disney-fandom-and-one-direction-an-interview-with-fangirl-central monthly 0.5 2023-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6f31fec-c48a-40e8-9b16-30c3af5aeba8/fangirl+2.png Features - Disney, Fandom and One Direction: An Interview with Fangirl Central - Make it stand out Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) is a testament to fangirls.

It’s the same kind of fairytale that Amber and Amanda Miller - the brains behind Fangirl Central - tell me they tried to achieve back in 2013 during One Direction’s Take Me Home tour.

As a transitory period between the final days of the scorching summer heat and the first hints at the winter-to-come, autumn has always been a natural harbinger of contradictory states of being: simultaneously associated with decay and death as well as harvest and rebirth. It is a season of and for change; often romanticised as a comforting reminder of days gone by, wherein nostalgia for the past intersects with a pensive longing for what’s to come against the backdrop of red, orange and yellow foliage. But beyond the literary parallels frequently drawn between autumnal states of transition and the weather induced sense of melan-fall-ia, this time of year also happens to occupy a special place in internet girl culture. From the endlessly memefied Christian Girl Autumn and the much anticipated - not to mention ridiculed - annual return of the cult favourite Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, to the timely resurgence of interest in Gilmore Girls and cable knit sweaters, the ubiquitous aesthetics of the layering season dominate online spheres the moment we enter September. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8359bbb9-9c45-4796-a37f-07d12652aa1d/sad+girl+autumn+1.png Features - Sad Girl Autumn and The Gendering of Seasonal Affective Disorder - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-house-of-the-devil-haunted-homes-and-liminal-spaces monthly 0.5 2023-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/292581bf-2893-48b1-b08e-fca21968f736/house+of+devil+1.png Features - Film Fatale: House of the Devil, Haunted Homes and Liminal Spaces - Make it stand out Being home alone is an underrated bliss - to sit in your underwear and watch Pretty Little Liars without judgement is a rare luxury when you have housemates, a partner or live in a busy family home. But then, inevitably, there is a vibe shift. A squeaking floor board, a gust of wind slamming a window shut, the power going off. Suddenly you’re a final girl in your own home. Is there someone behind the curtain? Is that the reflection of my own face in the window, or someone else's? The photograph of your family sitting above the fireplace becomes a pack of snarling dogs, the washing machine a growling menace under the stairs. The fear that ensues while being home alone at night, or being in a building that just feels off, is a universal experience. The haunted house genre has been around in literature since at least the Roman Empire with writer and politician Pliny the Younger writing of a haunted home in Athens in his letters. The genre can be traced to early cinema, too, with the 1896 silent short film The House of the Devil by Georges Méliès, another haunted castle flick. The format’s popularity makes sense; take the thing that is most sacred to a person (the home) and make it unlivable. Provoke the feeling of having nowhere to go, of having what's yours taken from you, and you will strike fear into the viewer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5f015ca4-b5fb-4e5f-899c-f26b604ff6a9/house+of+devil+2.png Features - Film Fatale: House of the Devil, Haunted Homes and Liminal Spaces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/another-girl-another-planet-the-brief-life-and-literary-legacy-of-izumi-suzuki monthly 0.5 2023-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/434c4eb4-0b1e-4628-a883-04ae7a10e3c7/izumi.png Features - Another Girl, Another Planet: The Brief Life and Literary Legacy of Izumi Suzuki - Make it stand out Born in the same year as Haruki Murakami and widely known for her volatile relationship with free-jazz saxophonist Kaoru Abe, as depicted in Koji Wakamatsu’s film Endless Waltz (1995), Izumi Suzuki’s avant-garde writing has remained elusive until recently. Information about her is extremely scarce, but here is what we know. Before winning a writing contest, Suzuki worked as a key-punch at a local city hall. After moving to Tokyo at 21, she worked as a bar hostess, model, and as an actress in pink films by Wakamatsu. She was photographed by infamous erotic photographer Nobuyoshi Araki – these images, which were collected into a book that translates as “Izumi, this bad girl” would later become the covers of her translations into the English vernacular: Terminal Boredom (2021) and Hit Parade of Tears (2023), a nod to the final stories within each curated collection. She took her own life in 1986, at the age of 36. Abe had died eight years prior by accidental overdose and, in the years after, Suzuki had been extremely productive with her writing - following his death, she supported their daughter Azusa by publishing stories in sci-fi magazines, which were in their prime. She, along with other female writers at the time, were treated as outsiders or “tourists” (coined by critic Nozomi Ōmori) to the gendered community and excluded from the canon of Japanese science fiction until the ‘80s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e93603d-4a0b-41f8-95aa-7632cd439c4a/izumi+2.png Features - Another Girl, Another Planet: The Brief Life and Literary Legacy of Izumi Suzuki - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-pink-bed-framing-femininity-through-household-objects monthly 0.5 2023-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db04e6cc-1347-4187-9304-72cb25498d9a/pink+room1.png Features - The Pink Bed: Framing Femininity through Household Objects - Make it stand out 25 years ago, Tracey Emin made her bed. Or rather, didn’t. And then she put it in a gallery. Outside of her bedroom, her bed, stained with bodily fluids and littered with the debris of a depressive episode following a break-up, is an aggressive display of vulnerability. Emin, a multimedia artist originally part of the Young British Artists group, is recognised for her confessional works that deal with taboo subjects. A quarter of a century after Emin showed My Bed, Portia Munson’s the Pink Bedroom was displayed at the Museum of Sex in New York through til July. Considered together, the two works prompt a reflection on the ways in which our perceptions of womanhood have changed - or haven’t - over the past few decades. Post-pandemic, in the midst of an intimacy crisis attenuated by hookup culture and dating apps, the vulnerability of Emin’s piece and the impersonality of Munson’s are striking. In an age where notions of femininity are acutely fraught, the pieces give new meaning to objectification and the importance we ascribe to the objects around us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41406c4b-af66-4ccd-8d9f-f272045eab4e/pinkroom+2.png Features - The Pink Bed: Framing Femininity through Household Objects - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-beauty-in-black-and-white-the-evolution-of-movie-makeup monthly 0.5 2023-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f60bad24-61a7-4c57-8f7f-a3fe5d057ed7/dolores+%281%29.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Beauty in Black and White – The Evolution of Movie Makeup - Make it stand out In 1950 Dolores Costello, the delicate and translucent beauty known as “goddess of the Silent Screen” left Hollywood for good. Why was Costello reportedly living alone on an avocado farm taking no visitors? The rumour mill said the reason for her disappearance was that the ruined condition of her skin was becoming impossible for makeup to hide. The perfect complexion she had been famous for destroyed by years of the crude greasepaint necessary to translate her face onto black and white film. Today, even if a movie is shot in black and white, the film itself is sensitive to the full light spectrum, meaning that the relationships between tones are captured accurately. We see areas of depth and light truthfully even in grayscale. Until the late 1920s films were mostly made with blue sensitive film. It overexposed areas on the blue and violet end of the spectrum and underexposed any red or yellow tones. This meant any naturally occurring red tones or yellow tones in the skin would read as black whilst blue eyes would be an extremely unnerving white, the Paul Hollywood effect on acid. Any areas of blush or natural ruddiness would look like dirt. Faces were also rendered in much higher contrast meaning gentle contours or expression lines would read as heavy black folds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/10389f85-8847-4110-983d-e07680e1f4da/dolores.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Beauty in Black and White – The Evolution of Movie Makeup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-happened-to-the-it-girl-talent-show-judge-the-faded-splendour-of-the-ladies-of-00s-saturday-night-tv monthly 0.5 2023-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3886825-3fe6-40c0-9b75-0b1e73d8de34/judges+1.png Features - What Happened to the It Girl Talent Show Judge?: The Faded Splendour of the Ladies of Saturday Night TV - Make it stand out From Paula Abdul on American Idol to Cheryl Cole on The X Factor, a staple figure of 2000s culture was the glamourous talent show judge who was simultaneously a celebrated popstar. It was a job that conferred huge cultural capital at the time - signifying the ultimate It Girl status - but often boiled down to being a token woman on a panel of men; the role granted simultaneous distinction and disposability.

The writers flirted with lesbianism, but kept it deniable enough in order to appease the TV censors and keep their prime-time slots - all glory to capitalism over art. But still, Xena sent shivers down my spine. Not only was she beautiful, she was the strongest fighter on screen, man or woman. She was clever, she was angry, she was powerful, but most importantly, she was butch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21aea896-38b1-4a89-bb78-e85cdfab4c27/pete+burns+collage.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Gender Play in the 90s and 00s - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/feeling-theatre-replacing-elitism-with-empathy monthly 0.5 2023-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb60c918-ce6c-454c-9f08-dd927cde1810/theatre+1.png Features - Feeling Theatre: Replacing Elitism with Empathy - Make it stand out I was working at the Royal Court and brought a friend to see a play by Caryl Churchill.

I mean, I don't really know much about theatre.” “But there’s nothing to ‘know’ I replied, “Just tell me what you thought, did you like it?

Her songs, written specifically to anticipate audience participation, have become automatic anthems for her queer fanbase, as Chappell ensures that joy remains the focus of even her more ballad-esque tracks. Her first album - four years in the making - is called The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Anticipation for the record has been building and building as videos from Chappell’s chaotic live tour – each date with its own individual dress up theme and local drag queen back up dancers – repeatedly go viral across TikTok. Once you’re hooked into the Chappell Roan universe, resplendent in costumes and catchy choruses, Chappell’s lore gets all the more interesting: who IS the gal behind the lesbian mermaid music video?

Erin and I have been friends since childhood, riding our bikes, gossiping at the mall, and, equally quintessentially, supplementing what we learned in sex ed class with fragments from magazines, movies and the internet. “I feel like seeing porn, I guess there was a thrill to it obviously but early on I sought stuff out almost educationally.” Erin reminisced. “Sex was such a mysterious thing and adults always talked about it like there was this danger so it felt like - I don’t know if powerful is the right word - but it felt like protection for myself to understand exactly what sex was.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f9664628-7569-4476-98b9-9b363559e32b/sex+work+2.png Features - How Casual Sex Work Became Normalised for Gen Z - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/2023-throuples-cinema monthly 0.5 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c72e1e8e-d241-4087-8927-62c9a7557eac/throuple.png Features - In 2023, Throuples Are Having a Moment In Cinema - Make it stand out In a widely shared Blood Knife essay from two years ago, Raquel S. Benedict offers a useful meditation on the growing conservatism when it comes to cinematic sex scenes. “Everyone is beautiful. And yet, no one is horny,” she writes. “Even when they have sex, no one is horny. No one is attracted to anyone else. No one is hungry for anyone else.” Today, the essay feels an apt testament to the bygone days of 2021 filmmaking, then dominated by a monolith of action and Marvel films filled with glistening, hairless, perfectly taut bodies without so much as a glimmer of erotic impulse. Was the sex scene well and truly dead? Many critics, Benedict included, seemed to think so. Since then, sex scene discourse has taken on an unruly life of its own. Earlier this year You actor Penn Badgley claimed that he no longer wished to do sex scenes out of respect for his marriage, igniting debate across the internet. Many appeared to adopt a puritanical stance, suggesting that sex scenes are frivolous and unnecessary. In light of the rampant criticism surrounding the gratuitous sex scenes in Sam Levinson’s The Idol - widely believed to be one of the worst shows ever made - and his explicit portrayal of teens in Euphoria, there’s certainly something to be said about what kind of screen intimacy is worth creating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22a28dfa-d774-428d-a872-7885bbf7791f/trouple+2.png Features - In 2023, Throuples Are Having a Moment In Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tiktoks-types-of-pretty-eugenics monthly 0.5 2023-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9824a2f6-bdb6-4113-9dfb-4d0417e89d6a/tilt+1.png Features - How TikTok’s “Types of Pretty” Have Their Roots In Eugenics - Make it stand out Trends come and go, some more questionable than others, but have any of them had you thinking, “Hmm, I wonder what kind of pretty I am…”? If not, you’re a lucky soul who hasn’t had the misfortune of finding yourselves on the specific corner of TikTok where there is an ongoing slew of content trying to get you to label what you look like. Specifically, asking, “What type of pretty are you?” Sometimes, a girl will pose with a filter that all so subtly changes her eye shape and gives her some bonus lashes and lets the comments decide what type she is. Other times, an influencer runs through different pictures of beautiful women, while trying to get you to categorise yourself as fox pretty, cat pretty, model pretty, or natural pretty. Whatever the hell those combinations of words mean - a round face over a pointed one, a wide nose or an upturned one - the need to categorise our and others' physical appearances isn't new, but how it is being repackaged is a slippery slope into outright misogyny, racism and literal eugenics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab993780-29b8-446d-b61f-6b34fafbe193/tilt+2.png Features - How TikTok’s “Types of Pretty” Have Their Roots In Eugenics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dozing-non-fiction-doomscrolling monthly 0.5 2023-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c3c1c6f3-5583-4d00-b03e-9179b4fa255a/doze.png Features - ‘Dozing’ is the Creative Non-Fiction Considering the Pitfalls of Doomscrolling Before Bed - Make it stand out You reach under your duvet, searching for the cold little rectangle.

I remember reading some, if not all of the book. Over a decade later, I listened to an episode of the podcast If Books Could Kill about Strauss’ investigative report into this society of strange, sleazy men. If Books Could Kill, hosted by Michael Hobbes and Peter Shamshiri, bills itself as a critique of the airport bestsellers that captured our hearts and ruined our minds. And The Game feels like the perfect microcosm for what this podcast does so well because, like Strauss’ book, so many of the texts that Hobbes and Shamshiri take to task are built around a certain kind of seduction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f909c109-a76d-4069-8739-b9f0d41537a7/reading2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: ‘If Books Could Kill’ and the Lure of Big Ideas - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/goth-trans-femme monthly 0.5 2024-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59cdadfa-12d4-42f1-9eba-21af57639c20/goth+1.png Features - On Goth’s Love Affair with Trans Femmes - Make it stand out I am in the all tranny bathroom. The frenzied guitar of The Virgin Prunes is slicing through the air of the waiting area, and girls are checking for stubble in the intensely, almost cruelly lit mirror while devouring the first of many free packets of sour patch kids. I am oscillating between the incompatible anxieties of wanting to dance, eyes cast to the ground like a sad apple-picker moving in half-time, and the intense need to stand in the stall, free to garden hose my piss down the toilet bowl. Riley is taking a long drag off their estrogen vape, and it is covered in black lipstick by the time I take a hit. For the first time all week, I feel like I can breathe. There are few places in America where this would be allowed to happen. To most, it is an aberration that the women's restroom should be overrun by transsexuals. In some jurisdictions, it is a crime. When I first started transitioning, Riley taught me that it's probably best to just not drink water, because going to the bathroom is just a shitshow. But here, in the dimly lit, cigarette scented haze of blue which fills The Merrow, we are not just tolerated, but have found something of a home. The stick figure gender drawings on the bathroom doors function more like a suggestion of what you might (or might not) see than a mandate upon your existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3bd6ad6-60a4-46f2-aa05-326b86ce7a98/goth2.png Features - On Goth’s Love Affair with Trans Femmes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/poi-and-keely-3d-illustrator monthly 0.5 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a724b61a-404a-43d9-9e8e-d20ad00bc932/image0+%281%29+%281%29.jpeg Features - Poi and Keely is the 3D Illustrator Your Fav Musician is Obsessed With - Make it stand out I found out about Poi and Keely the same way all my peers did - through Ice Spice’s cover artworks. The kitschiness of doll making combined with slick 3D design and a style all her own, once you start scrolling through Keely Majewski’s Instagram, it’s hard to stop. The details, both parts slick and dewy, feel tangibly digital while simultaneously visceral. Her cast of characters all very clearly come from another world, but all from the same world too. It’s easy to picture the Ice Spice cartoon milling around a quasi - Mii plaza filled with other Poi and Keely designs. Speaking to me off the back of a self enforced creative boot camp - forcing herself to make one new art work every day, each day for over three years - it would be easily imaginable that Keely is sick and tired of talking shop. Of course, just as clearly as her passion for her project shines through her social media posts, Keely’s enthusiasm doesn’t falter once during our thirty minute phone call. As well as accepting our invitation of an interview, Keely produced two exclusive artworks to accompany the piece. If there’s anything that constant creation for over one thousand days has taught the artist it’s this: if there’s something worth doing, it’s worth doing right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2782c2bf-49c2-49b1-a9a4-5fdc68a4a820/image1+%282%29.jpeg Features - Poi and Keely is the 3D Illustrator Your Fav Musician is Obsessed With - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sophia-giovannitti-art-and-sex-work monthly 0.5 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d88e3455-2f87-469a-a0a3-7246ffe10bc2/sophia1.png Features - Sophia Giovannitti is Shifting How We See Art and Sex Work&nbsp; - Make it stand out Artist Sophia Giovannitti is not working right now. At least, not in the way that we’re used to thinking of it. She’s not worked to make money for a full year. Instead, Giovannitti has been producing work as we think of it creatively: writing and art specifically. She’s been free to pursue whatever piques her creative interest - “I know what my ‘real work’ is [...] That could and would be structure enough, but I do need to make money,” Giovannitti explains down the line from her home in New York. Stating plain and simple the anxiety between material survival and creative flourishing, Giovannitti is refreshingly candid about her intersecting privileges that often tip the balance in her favour. This tension is one that she unpicks in her new book Working Girl: On Selling Art and Selling Sex. Sophia dissects her personal experience as a sex worker and artist, demonstrating that the dichotomies and delusions that exist very plainly in a sex work context are very much there in the art world, they’re just better disguised. The book blends Sophia’s own tales of being an artist and sex worker and meeting clients with her theoretical thinking and dissections in a way that feels fresh and accessible. I met with her to discuss her new book, art, sex, capitalism and how to create the world that we want to see. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/90eab6ab-68ff-4d06-b838-2ee524d9f1c8/sophia2.png Features - Sophia Giovannitti is Shifting How We See Art and Sex Work&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/an-ode-to-fiona-apple-the-ultimate-video-vixen monthly 0.5 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/09783333-1604-413a-b44e-8773d1fe0bc2/fiona+1.png Features - An Ode to Fiona Apple, the Ultimate Video Vixen - Make it stand out Late last year, Fiona Apple decided to remove most of her discography from TikTok, after a viral trend emerged of women using her songs to relate to their own perception of themselves as either a female manipulator and/or manic pixie dream girl; labels Apple herself has been boxed into for nearly her entire career. Refusing to be misunderstood, Apple removed the ability to misinterpret altogether. Fiona Apple, aged 19, burst onto the scene when her first album Tidal came out in 1996. While the record itself received rave reviews from the get go, controversy surrounding the music video for the album’s lead single - Criminal - threatened to overshadow her debut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/392d0a25-ead8-46e8-9e48-d8f9505720f2/fiona+2.png Features - An Ode to Fiona Apple, the Ultimate Video Vixen - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-moody-bisexual-artist-in-petra-von-kant-and-passages monthly 0.5 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c751130-bfb1-4f28-b24c-3d002610f427/bi+2.png Features - The Moody Bisexual Artist in Passages and Petra Von Kant - Make it stand out “Marlene, be more considerate.” So says famed fashion designer Petra von Kant (Margit Carstensen) from bed after her assistant (Irm Hermann) pulls the blinds. It’s late in the morning, after ten, but Petra won’t let anyone know that she’s just woken up. She holds court in her bed; in quick succession, she has Marlene fetch her fresh orange juice, takes a call from her mother where she says she’s been up for ages, orders Marlene to work on a sketch, then dictates a note to her landlord: “My dear friend, I will be unable to make payment…There are circumstances between heaven and earth… But who am I talking to?” Who is Petra talking to? In Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s glimmering drama, The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (1972), our titular designer speaks mostly to herself and her silent assistant within a hybrid bedroom-atelier. The viewer never sees Petra working on her craft – rather, we see her take care to maintain what’s left of her reputation. When she receives a call to design for a well-known fashion house, Petra insists she must check her calendar, pauses, takes three beats while holding the phone, her day not yet started, and says she can squeeze them in on Friday. Never mind that the fashion house didn’t want to work with her three years ago. She must maintain her own mythos outside these walls even if inside she is crumbling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1693918120487-QNHJG5I46GBG52GZ60Z8/bi+1.png Features - The Moody Bisexual Artist in Passages and Petra Von Kant - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-influencer-economy-class-resentment monthly 0.5 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2904fe1e-0823-466e-8af0-3700c7bb0563/influence+1.png Features - How The Influencer Economy Inspires Class Resentment - Make it stand out It is common knowledge that members of the established economic elite would never indulge in the flaunting of excess wealth, lest they want to come across like newly rich plebs or, god forbid, invite the envious gaze of common folk into their pompous lifestyles. But in the age of social media in which displaying one's success and possessions is the first order of business, the 1% seem to go by a new creed: new money shouts, old money vlogs? In her TikTok videos, fashion influencer Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmack tries on ball gowns against the backdrop of tall embellished walls in her Paris apartment. In other videos, she displays her glamorous life as a fashion student or shows herself partying with her likewise rich and beautiful friends. Lara’s life appears on our phone screens as part gossip girl, part opulent pastel dream directed by Sofia Coppola. Online, these lavish visuals collide with the zeitgeist of a generation that made “eat the rich” its guiding imperative, memed the death of Queen Elizabeth into oblivion and happily celebrated as the billionaire submarine dematerialized in the Atlantic ocean. When a 20-year-old Lara started vlogging about her Dior internship in Paris, her audience immediately started speculating about her presumedly privileged family background. But it wasn’t until people found out that this influencer wasn’t your usual nepo baby, but the daughter of an old Austro-German noble family, that this disenfranchised generation found its very own Marie Antoinette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a525d746-6251-4440-9a5c-c7d0a93e9be5/influence+2.png Features - How The Influencer Economy Inspires Class Resentment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tiktok-quote-dumps-web-weaving monthly 0.5 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4d6ed740-a037-4289-ae5f-05f9a6d2f51d/web+1.png Features - TikTok Quote Dumps: The Girlies Are Web Weaving Again - Make it stand out If you have thumbed through a TikTok carousel containing sentimental poetry extracts; pensive, screenshotted quotes from Tumblr or a captioned Robin Williams’ movie still and felt overcome by emotion, you’ve been algorithmically struck by a web weaving. Web weaving is the latest content archetype to be resurrected from the Tumblr archive and reshaped for the aesthetic tastes of a new subculture audience. Emulating the manual intertwining of traditional weaving; web weavings brings together snippets of poetry, online content and fiction exploring the same theme or emotion. Pieced-together content about anxiety, loneliness and the rest of life's difficult, inexpressible emotional states is warming our hearts, bringing a bit of tenderness to our monotonous social feeds. As we navigate a post-capitalist, neoliberal hellscape that enforces individuality; stripping our relationships of real meaning and leaving us emotionally starved, web weavings have been given a new utility, enabling us to not only emotionally connect with ourselves again, but also our friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/095ab211-74e5-4a56-a5e2-af424c57d11a/web+2.png Features - TikTok Quote Dumps: The Girlies Are Web Weaving Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/niche-plastic-surgery-tweakments monthly 0.5 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/71fe6c22-f59c-4107-9696-6453fb1b0f83/plastic+2.png Features - How Niche Plastic Surgery and Tweakments Took Over Our Feeds - Make it stand out In the fast-paced world of TikTok, trends come and go in the swipe of an index finger.

Aesthetic surgery, once considered a distant concept only accessed by the elite, is now a regular debate topic for casual pillow talk, lunch break conversations and comment sections. Group chats frequently discuss surgery trends fuelled by internet information, with the unrestricted flow of digital knowledge adding a new layer of normalisation to cosmetic procedure considerations. The internet has granted access to a world once shrouded in mystery, whilst simultaneously creating a false sense of reality: Inspired by their new knowledge, mined from social media surgery experts, thousands - maybe millions - are dead set on fine-tuning imagined imperfections, with niche plastic surgery trends becoming more popular than ever as a result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c2a9765c-c8c6-4681-b00d-c1cbcab6ac18/plastic+1.png Features - How Niche Plastic Surgery and Tweakments Took Over Our Feeds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/bottoms-up-emma-seligman-is-reclaiming-fun-cinema-for-queer-girls monthly 0.5 2023-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/927fe7a8-e917-4f01-bf20-ab2a098bbcb9/emma-seligman-squarespace-export.png Features - Bottoms Up! Emma Seligman Is Reclaiming Fun Cinema For Queer Girls Emma Seligman made an unforgettable impression on queer femmes and anxious twenty somethings – a Venn diagram that is almost a whole circle – with her directorial debut Shiva Baby (2020), expanded from a previous short film of the same name. Starring Rachel Sennott as a Jewish bisexual, the titular role, Seligman and Sennott join forces to present a comedy so finely written that it makes you slide down your chair and grit your teeth with second hand embarrassment. But you of course watch on, because it’s just so good. Danielle, played by Sennott, cemented the stereotype of what it means to be a woman in 2020; as one Letterboxd reviewer puts it: “all danielle knows is gender business, be gay, be sugar baby, eat bagel and lie.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c62a30a-1878-460d-9a84-59ec2801d67d/20230801_PolyesterZine_S01_053+copy.jpg Features - Bottoms Up!

From reality shows like Survivor or Love Island to prestige dramas like Game of Thrones and Succession, even a minor, competitive undercurrent can inject natural stakes and structure to our engagement with media. The compulsion to compete and compare trickles down into many cultural products, particularly those that exploit the impulse to pit women against each other. Though Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise is not a reality competition show in the traditional sense, its mutually dependent relationship with its audience has mutated the lifestyle docusoap into an elaborate, years-long reality competition of character development, rhetorical skills, improv, and performance. Of course, Real Housewives has no official prize, but by offering an alluring proximity to celebrity, the franchise has created an influencer ecosystem that deeply resonates with today’s social media landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3063248-0f0e-4652-bd54-ea8825c77663/housewives+2.png Features - How Real Housewives Turned Into the Ultimate Influencer Competition Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/blizzy-mcguire-guide-to-being-an-italian-long-island-princess monthly 0.5 2023-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/630061e0-8fcb-4dbc-bb9c-43cfba3bed9c/52575_MBO_005_04.jpg Features - Blizzy McGuire's Guide to Being an Italian Long Island Princess - Make it stand out It’s hard trying to exist on the internet with a marginalised identity, let alone using the digital realm to create a career that’s based on tongue-in-cheek humour, but Blizzy McGuire’s navigation of URL spaces drips in the casual confidence of one specific kind of girl: The Long Island native, Italian princess. Blizzy’s been taking social media by storm for years, repeatedly coining the sayings that have become iconic parts of the gay lexicon without really trying too hard. Remember Christian Girl Autumn? Blizzy invented it. Ever laughed at a Hunger Games meme? Blizzy thought of it first.

When coupled with Carrie Bradshaw’s bizarrely unrealistic lifestyle – $4.50 a word at Vogue, anyone? – it became an almost insurmountable mission to try and place the Sex and the City franchise in a modern context. When Carrie publishes a book of essays, in-universe critic Michiko Kakutani says of it: “Single women rule and the men are disposable” and the central thesis to the show’s lore is revealed. This isn’t a series set in the real world; it’s Carrie’s world and we’re just living in it (for twenty-five-minute intervals). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/681d447f-6233-4226-8c17-a8f67ac5951d/sex+and+city+2.png Features - And Just Like That, Nothing Changed: Postfeminism and Subjectivity in the Sex and the City Franchise - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/after-botticelli-the-rebirth-of-venus monthly 0.5 2023-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d39029a4-97c8-4ac0-803e-3f57e24c88b3/127_Polyester_2023_S05_066_V2.jpg Features - After Botticelli: The Rebirth of Venus is a Reinterpretation of Modern Self Doubt - Make it stand out Strongly influenced by Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and other artworks from the same period, this editorial aims to transport the beauty, gentleness, and romance of those historical paintings into the contemporary world.

On Transphobia in Chess - Make it stand out I am told that there is nothing more frightening in chess than a queen. Where the kings have grown immobile from centuries of disuse, the queen has become the most powerful of all the pieces, moving farther and with more freedom than any of the men. This is a curious fact about what has historically been a male dominated game. It would appear that the male chess player is always in a state of emasculation: Not only does he have to identify himself as someone who plays chess, a sport requiring less athleticism than other borderline cases like League of Legends, he is also implicitly forced to acknowledge the superior capabilities of a woman. This is all to say that I wasn't really surprised when I learned that the International Chess Federation would be barring trans women from competing in women's events for a two year waiting period while regulations are decided upon. I understand that if you're a man playing professional chess, it would probably be an ego boost if people saw it as a real sport. And if all the cool sports are doing transphobia right now, how is anybody supposed to take you seriously if you aren't trying to stop the transgenders from destroying women's sports? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f559a73a-abd2-44b9-a8ed-812561923dea/chezz.png Features - She’s a Good Sport!

With just one album, If My Wife New I'd Be Dead, the Dublin-born musician has already amassed a cult following. It’s easy to see why: her lyrics hold specific references and personal experiences that many young women seek out. Shame, confusion, despair, all wrapped up in music that could only be written by someone with firsthand experience. CMAT’s songs feel like you’re sitting on the floor with a best friend after a night out, sharing a cigarette and crying with each other - cathartic and brutally honest. It’s not easy to pour your heart out like this, but CMAT has perfected it. I sat down with everyone’s new favourite pop star to discuss song writing, Irishness, Tumblr and loneliness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0145216-2f74-4dd3-836a-8da1fb007a50/cmat+2.png Features - CMAT is Your New Favorite Pop Star - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/wanda-sick-of-myself-apathetic-woman-film-fatale monthly 0.5 2023-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b739b567-a889-4358-99ab-057f6f610307/wanda+1.png Features - Film Fatale: Wanda, Sick of Myself and the Apathetic Woman - Make it stand out Wanda (1970) directed by Barbara Loden is one of my favourite films. We follow the titular depressed housewife as she leaves her husband and aimlessly travels across her Pennsylvanian mining town before running away with an abusive petty thief. Wanda is apathetic, passive and to all appearances ‘allows’ herself to get into this depressive situation. The audience is left asking why is she doing this? To which there is no logical reason. Wanda’s choices are a form of self harm. Putting herself in bleak situations simply because she can. Wanda’s approach to nihilism differs greatly from her male counterpart, her abuser: he needs to dosomething, he needs change. Domineering and controlling, he plots to rob a small town bank. Wanda sits in the passenger seat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab3b8b6c-6cd9-4f9a-985a-fad469c30e0a/wanda+2.png Features - Film Fatale: Wanda, Sick of Myself and the Apathetic Woman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/miss-bennys-burning-up-for-your-love-on-her-debut-ep-swelter monthly 0.5 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a1a9b29-e79c-4d71-a3c3-9d5394c76d41/MissBenny_8.jpg Features - Miss Benny’s Burning Up For Your Love on Her Debut EP ‘Swelter’ - Make it stand out By design and definition, Miss Benny is the ultimate multi-hyphenate artiste.

Daphne has done it all, runways, magazines, albums, television, parties, music videos, galleries, there is not a corner of pop culture that has not been touched by her elegant gloved hands. Dressed in couture, somewhere between disco vampire, glam rock Garbo, avant garde bird of prey, sartorial rebel with a hint of Cruella De Vil, but sweetie, with lovely shoes, Daphne has become an enduring style legend, unafraid to reference or not reference, with a legendary look that transcends time (and space).

[...] The story of one is the story of all,” murmur the mushrooms in Irene Solà’s When I Sing, Mountains Dance, a polyphonic novel that gives equal weight to the perspective of humans as it does to clouds, dogs, mountains, and fungi. A few months back, I began to realise how frequently I see mushrooms cropping up in media — in Netflix documentaries, dance performances, bio-architecture and high-fashion runways. Historically associated with decay and disease, I wondered about the origins of this shift in positive fungi reputation. A burgeoning interest in sustainable materials such as mycelial leather may be part of it; as is the aesthetic diversity of mushrooms, which lends itself very well to commercial ‘cuteness’ (in Ngai’s sense) — I’m guilty of making at least two pairs of mushroom earrings myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/63690786-a73f-4771-98f6-5aceb607ec64/mushroom+comic+black-1%28notext%29.png Features - From ‘The Last of Us’ to Mushroom Girls: Why is Everyone Obsessed with Fungi All of a Sudden? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/528758e0-545c-4bb2-899a-b3832d9e1ae1/mushroom+comic+black2.png Features - From ‘The Last of Us’ to Mushroom Girls: Why is Everyone Obsessed with Fungi All of a Sudden? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f647da8-abc2-434d-82b4-442c7968114b/mushroom+comic+black3.png Features - From ‘The Last of Us’ to Mushroom Girls: Why is Everyone Obsessed with Fungi All of a Sudden? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/liza-minnelli-the-pet-shop-boys monthly 0.5 2023-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/836fd6a9-71ec-41e9-8be7-6218c46c12eb/liza+2.png Features - Dreaming and Recklessly Scheming: When Liza Met the Pet Shop Boys - Make it stand out Before there was “Padam Padam”, and before there was even Cher’s “Believe”, there was Liza Minnelli and “Losing My Mind”. With a staccato piano and the kind of woozy synthline they’d honed over three albums, the Pet Shop Boys turned Stephen Sondheim’s gutting tale of unrequited love into a glorious Italo-disco banger, starring Liza as the ultimate woman scorned. It reached #6 in the charts. This was, of course, the 1980s, a period when the British public found itself in a love affair with mainstream musical theatre – it was the era of “I Know Him So Well”, of “Memory” and “The Music of the Night”, and there was undoubtedly some of that fondness mixed into the public’s willingness to welcome the Liza Minnelli to the top 40. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a3deebea-6a90-4b61-8127-ac1692db6719/liza.png Features - Dreaming and Recklessly Scheming: When Liza Met the Pet Shop Boys - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-defence-of-commitment-phobia monthly 0.5 2023-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0157336-f4a1-4dff-a5d2-954c45feba79/commit+1.png Features - In Defence of Commitment-Phobia - Make it stand out We seldom hear the label ‘commitment-phobe’ in a positive context. It’s a label I am all too familiar with being on the receiving end of. It’s loaded, but also not misplaced. Commitment is something that categorically terrifies me. To me, it’s always been synonymous with stagnation. Settling. As someone who enjoys their solitude, has a busy life, and is painfully independent, relationships have always appeared to me as being akin to a sacrifice of some sort. I have never been able to comprehend a reality where all elements of my existing life could coexist with a long-term romantic partner. As soon as someone gets too close, my emotions start to feel out of the breadth of my control or I start feeling too comfortable; I have never hesitated to cut a relationship off. I’m not proud of how I have dealt with most of these situations, but in hindsight, it always proved to be the right decision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/985a79a4-c23b-4386-a18b-59ac99b56258/commit+2.png Features - In Defence of Commitment-Phobia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/slayyyter-interview-2023-starfucker-hollywood-aesthetics-death-of-celebrity monthly 0.5 2023-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5a91b3c9-bf06-4d73-bc85-4c4aea8e8b3f/Slayyyter_1.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out When Slayyyter visited Los Angeles in early 2020 to finish up her debut album, the last thing she imagined was that a global pandemic might make her a permanent resident. “I was very much like ‘I love St. Louis! I’ll die by my city”, says the pop artist, as she video calls me from her 80s art deco inspired apartment, “But I got stuck here during the pandemic in that time where you couldn’t travel or see a single person, so I ended up alone in an AirBnb, frantically ordering furniture to a new apartment.” Watching her new home recover from its dystopian ghost-town pandemic existence, her forthcoming album STARFUCKER, out September 22, is influenced by experiencing the glitz, glamour, and gossip of celebrity culture whilst still feeling more “on the cusp” of fame than an actual celeb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/075b2b48-4e09-4592-b52d-9d945c29de75/Slayyyter_3.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/650f07c7-8fe3-4148-a0ea-1fa00ec9c5cf/BLACKANDWHITE_SLAYYYTER_10.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/11b1c0f1-60af-4359-b60b-5e010b31136c/Slayyyter_19.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/091e353f-7bf1-4c8f-9b10-2498cff36487/Slayyyter_20.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/865d7bb7-71c7-40a6-b483-aae03b395e17/Slayyyter_23.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc1c5d01-18bd-4b6e-9840-ab45db51f5dc/BLACKANDWHITE_SLAYYYTER_12.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f64a098-bdac-43d1-b66e-2c251de432d0/Slayyyter_4.jpg Features - Slayyyter on Timeless Hollywood Aesthetics and The Death of Celebrity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/forget-instagram-face-were-in-the-era-of-tiktok-life monthly 0.5 2024-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/be2268ff-b3f3-4079-baef-6bdb67e540ad/that+girl+1.png Features - Forget Instagram Face –We’re In the Era of TikTok Life - Make it stand out Cat-like eyes, bulbous lips, plump cheekbones and an “ambiguously ethnic” skin tone are core ingredients of so-called ‘Instagram Face’, an aesthetic taxonomy coined by author Jia Tolentino in a viral 2019 article for the New Yorker. The concept may sound platform-specific, but Instagram was just a petri dish for an examination of how the cocktail of social media, editing apps, and real life cosmetic surgery enabled the rise of a “single cyborgian look”. And, thanks to the conveyor belt quest of aesthetic ‘perfection’ that continues to churn under the auspices of surveillance capitalism and the endless imperative to self-optimise, we have a new kind of homogeneity that extends well beyond facial features. Instagram Face might still dominate traditional western beauty standards but TikTok has cultivated a much broader aesthetic language. Enter: the TikTok Life - a lifestyle of sameness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e074ddb2-03ac-4303-a2a9-f5ef8113fbb9/that+girl+2+%281%29.png Features - Forget Instagram Face –We’re In the Era of TikTok Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-mother-daughter-wardrobes-in-mermaids-winona-ryder-cher monthly 0.5 2023-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0449e958-657e-4965-b132-423757bba986/marmaids+2.png Features - “I Am Not Invisible!”: The Mother-Daughter Wardrobes in ‘Mermaids’ - Make it stand out Winona Ryder and Cher’s routes to success couldn’t have been more different. By 1990, Cher had already weathered several iterations of her music career, overcoming the raised eyebrows of cinephiles and industry professionals to successfully claw her way into films. Winona had exploded overnight as a child actor, an emblem of late-80s teenager-hood; gothic, off-kilter, cynical and endlessly watchable. Yet their shared carefulness and caring-ness meld into one another by the time of Richard Benjamin’s Mermaids. With this filmic outing, the pair chose to refashion these meta-standings in the public to negotiate the intimacies of mothers and daughters, letting their star personas settle on their frames, guiding their movements into and around one another. Through Cher, Mrs. Flax is a wondrously unpredictable figure, holding the actress and pop star’s celebrity standing up to a waiting audience, who were desperate to ground her in something recognisable without getting too close to her otherworldly glitz. While the film is mostly told through lead character’s Charlotte’s eyes, it has moments of following Mrs. Flax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2c83ef48-7e56-4edb-977b-eb66add71c8f/mermaids+1.png Features - “I Am Not Invisible!”: The Mother-Daughter Wardrobes in ‘Mermaids’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/i-dont-need-first-sexual-aid-art-against-sexual-harrassment-refugees monthly 0.5 2023-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e40add0a-b7a8-44c7-91ff-8873cf265c63/Story+1+-+Language+barriers+have+been+overcome+-+illustrated+by+Liza+Ulyanova+%40lizukha_spaysukha+-+2.jpeg Features - I Don’t Need First Sexual Aid: Art Against the Sexual Harassment of Ukranian Refugees - Make it stand out As the Russo-Ukrainian war continues to increase in scale, almost 6 million Ukrainian refugees find themselves seeking shelter and rebuilding their lives elsewhere in Europe. In contrast to previous refugee crises, European populations and governments seem eager to help. But even this time around, not all of these offers of aid are unconditional. Many Ukrainian refugees experience the support to be dependent on an expectation of “intimate gratitude” – sex and attention in return for a roof, some gifts, or a helping hand. Horrified by how commonplace these experiences are and the fear that people have of speaking up about them, young Ukrainian artist Nataliia Oliferovych started #idontneedfirstsexualaid: an art project that re-tells these anonymously submitted experiences through the pop culture-political medium of comics. By changing the discourse, the project aims to provide a space of healing, support and exchange for refugees encountering sexual harassment and coercion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1d242373-2236-45d2-8e59-96099f9c4300/Story+4+-+Ukrainian+girls+do+not+need+first+sexual+aid+-+Illustrated+by+Alea+Prullansky+%40prullansky+-+1.jpeg Features -

Beating the ‘Industry Plant’ Allegations: An Interview with The Last Dinner Party - Make it stand out In an age of digital media, some may think that the spirit of live music is dying. That arena shows are destroying the creative sphere with no room for DIY, experimentation and organic growth. Some think the kids have no gig etiquette, watching the show through their cracked iPhone screens above their head instead of looking at what’s in front of them. Seeing The Last Dinner Party will prove the naysayers wrong. The Last Dinner Party drape themselves in vintage gowns, pearls and corsets, bringing a dreamy aura to the stage. Frontwoman Abigail strides through the performance like a Jane Austen protagonist, inviting the audience to join the band in the theatrical, mystical world they have carefully crafted. Sitting down with vocalist Abigail Morris and bassist Georgia Davies, there is a palpable, genuine excitement from the pair - they couldn’t wait to explore their band's possibilities; the duo overflowed with creativity and inspiration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d98d1a2-989e-47d9-941b-7ae1316cab7d/dinner+party+2.png Features - Beating the ‘Industry Plant’ Allegations: An Interview with The Last Dinner Party - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/playground-jester-editorial monthly 0.5 2023-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1d0f88c-f4f1-4f50-be94-cf3f86511613/4.jpg Features - Playground: A Celebration of the Jester Figure - Make it stand out The image of Jester still has a distinctive hold on the collective imagination.

At once highly skilled and yet low tech. What will soon be an immaculate piece of beauty fantasy is revealing its unglamorous insides. Pipe cleaners, rubber bands, synthetic bundles, wire supports get stuffed with cotton wool. Temporary hair sculptures devised from things you can order off Amazon, then the seams are hidden. Shellacked with hairspray and dusted with glitter after the model returns from their smoke break. The most show-stopping beauty looks have been created in rooms with tiled ceilings and a grotty microwave. Ephemera that is hours in the construction but only lasts as long as a photograph or for a judge to consider it. In a picture elements converge into something poetic, lighting hits just right, a model becomes transfigured for a brief moment, but outside of the frame, often things are decidedly less glamorous. Medusa Deluxe takes this world behind ‘the world’ then drops it into a noir. A murder at a competitive hair competition sets a classic whodunnit in motion and serves as a framework for a visual and emotional exploration of the backstage world; A space where both fantasy hair creations and the artists that make them reveal their guts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fc1b09c-6fe1-4fa5-ac88-4075695b66d4/medusa+deluxe+collage+1.jpg Features - How Medusa Deluxe Pulls Back the Velvet Curtain on the Production of Glamour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-happens-after-healing monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f48ea97a-dfb2-47a1-8e80-6c9c025f4e96/healing+3.png Features - What Happens After Healing? Reevaluating Myself After Therapy Prior to starting therapy, I had wholeheartedly embraced the idealised version of "healing" propagated by social media. The image painted was a seemingly effortless path to liberation from childhood trauma, negative thought processes and any subsequent unhealthy coping mechanisms. I remember my first therapist. I had chosen him because he was Italian, which sounded cool to announce to others, nothing more. After our first session, which took place face to face, predating the pandemic, I made my way home in tears, reminded that aestheticism didn’t translate well in real life, and that the things that tormented me weren’t easier to face because my therapist was quintessentially Italian, accent and all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce34027c-fe3b-4a9b-ade7-278b84a42494/healing+2.png Features - What Happens After Healing?

It’s a space for like-minded people (63.4k of them) who have built an anonymous online network through their mutual distaste for the same group of influencers. The subreddit combines aspects of gossip forums like Guru Gossip (created in 2012) and Tattle Life (2018) which cemented themselves as communities within which to critique and comment on hundreds of internet personalities. And, like these previous iterations, the content shared on r/NYCinfluencersnark lands in the grey area between cultural critique and bullying. It’s an interesting dichotomy that questions the morality of the thousands of pseudo-accountability police populating these pages. On its face, the page isn’t all bad. At first glance, you’ll see that the majority of posts are among the “bitch eating crackers” variety. Your BEC is the person you can’t stand. Snarkers frequently question outfit choices, speculate on relationship statuses, and point out influencer self-absorbance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1ee67ef-c485-462a-8f55-46faf1b23b5b/gossip2.png Features - r/NYCinfluencersnark and the Social Purpose of Gossip - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/liv-little-in-conversation-with-sola-olulode-on-her-solo-exhibition-burning-like-the-star-that-showed-us-to-our-love monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/789f1afc-e5d9-4174-acf9-977292e25c13/solo.png Features - Liv Little in Conversation with Sola Olulode on her Solo Exhibition: Burning, like the star that showed us to our love British Nigerian artist Sola Olulode’s solo show Burning, like the star that showed us to our love is a celebration of the birth of love, a world in which the sun blazes and envelops the lives of a newly-formed couple. Her paintings are layered, often over previous iterations – building texture is an integral part of her process, incorporating the odd paint splatter or wax spot into a composition like a sign of life. Olulode’s fusing of materials – dye, paints, pastels and batik – form a rich tapestry, joy bursting through the seams. Her previous body of work drew inspiration from queer club nights in the UK, a world filled with friendship, community and first dances (music has always inspired her paintings); that club scene features as the imagined meeting place for the couple who star in this latest series. Here, they exist in a world imbued with hues of yellow, which to Olulode signifies pure joy – love and optimism are strong forces within her life. When we meet, Olulode’s studio is filled with the monochromatic schemes she has become widely recognised for – green, blue, yellow. She even has a speck of yellow paint on her nose as she talks me through each piece (of which there are many). Her studio practically glows, full of the jubilant energy radiated by these paintings and Olulode herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7a465b10-1867-461d-a63d-ca73bbad0f95/Send+Nudes%2C+2023..jpg Features - Liv Little in Conversation with Sola Olulode on her Solo Exhibition: Burning, like the star that showed us to our love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/18b6939b-50cb-4a40-9eff-4293f85d1bdf/Never+Enough%2C+2023..jpg Features - Liv Little in Conversation with Sola Olulode on her Solo Exhibition: Burning, like the star that showed us to our love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0f7302f-8015-4780-b855-bc12cafc7458/Together+Again%2C+2023..jpg Features - Liv Little in Conversation with Sola Olulode on her Solo Exhibition: Burning, like the star that showed us to our love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/heaven-on-earth monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/08181d6d-a3ad-4525-b4a0-c909c3e68b94/HEAVEN-ON-EARTH_HARDSPOTLIGHT.jpeg Features - Heaven on Earth is the Editorial Playing with Historical, Spiritual and Biblical Tales Heaven on Earth is about the contrast between deeply ingrained ideas of old and how through todays lens these take on a new meaning.

Normally, I would be starting to feel the excitement of the season, the high point of the summer, the crown jewel of my social calendar, but this year feels different. My plans aren’t fully in place. My outfits haven’t been chosen. My parties are booked, but I feel so tired. Maybe it’s part of growing older, this weariness and aimlessness. Maybe it’s because the weather has been so grim and grey for the last three weeks, and still isn’t showing any signs of change for the parades and promenades to come. Maybe it’s the constant political attacks on the trans community, both here and internationally, and our way of life seems to be being threatened in a very real way. Or it’s that this year we have experienced very real losses, both in the reporting of sky-rocketing street violence, and in a personal way, with the deaths of friends and loved ones permeating my summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a8df91b1-2d6a-4157-80cf-fd4e4bf084e6/drinking+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Pride Again &amp; Facing Reality on the Dancefloor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mommy-issues-greta-gerwig-and-defining-ourselves-through-family monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b2c7865b-e777-4be2-8115-9adcd4da559e/greta+1.png Features - Mommy Issues, Greta Gerwig and Defining Ourselves Through Family The 2000s and early 2010s was a period defined by the term ‘daddy issues’: Look at any teen drama and there it’ll be, from Elena Gilbert’s uncle/father fiasco in The Vampire Diaries, to Aria’s intensely inappropriate relationship with Ezra in Pretty Little Liars. It became a new way to objectify and sexualise women providing quote-unquote ‘justification’ for culture’s love of the damaged woman, someone who was easy, carefree, and loved a bad boy guaranteed to disappoint her father. In contrast, the turn of the 2020s brought on a new era: ‘mommy issues’. The concept rose to prominence in books like Normal People and the cinematic work of Greta Gerwig. While women in the real world are repeatedly and misogynistically reduced to baby-makers, for the first time in the mainstream, popular media explores what it means to be a mother and in turn to be the daughter of a mother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d047ef0d-e263-4e47-acd4-152b72b8a197/greta+2.png Features - Mommy Issues, Greta Gerwig and Defining Ourselves Through Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/hair-raising-this-editorial-is-inspired-by-beauty-whodunnit-medusa-deluxe monthly 0.5 2023-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/950890ad-4182-44f7-990b-343ff94720ab/12.jpeg Features - Hair Raising!

For decades, the great rite-of-passage for the American male in cinema has been to lose their virginity. From the pastry-penetrating profanity of American Pie (1999) – which ended the millennium with a blueprint for so many comedies that would come after it – to the latest in this cinematic lineage, No Hard Feelings (2023), a whole genre of coming-of-age sex comedies are rooted in the fact that, in order for male characters to take the next step in life (which is almost always going from high school to college), they need to have sex. No Hard Feelings, which stars Jennifer Lawrence, is aware of how strange its premise is from the very beginning. In the film, Lawrence plays Maddie, a drifting 30-something who badly needs cash, and sees an offer being put forward by a pair of wealthy, helicopter to parents (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti, both wonderfully strange and cringe-inducing here): they’ll give her a car if she can try and help their introverted, socially-awkward son become “experienced” before college (this means exactly what you think it does.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/01f1aaf6-e752-4dc2-9cab-3760d2177056/sex+2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Do Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in Sex Comedies? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/romantic-delusion monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee77fe93-059a-4949-9d7b-33b7dfd6a4b8/romance+1.png Features - In Defence of Silly Crushes: Romantic Delusion is Nothing New Whenever a friend tells me they have a crush on someone, my response is usually "Get well soon" or "Thoughts and prayers".

Journeying from prison cells to the Parisian side streets of Montmartre and Pigalle, Genet’s largely autobiographical work immerses his reader into the demi-monde of the French capital, in all its odorous, erotic, and perverse glory. By combining the filthy and camp with witty social observation, Genet depicts a queer community that is as accepting as it is transgressive. Written as masturbatory fantasies from Genet’s jail cell, Our Lady of the Flowers follows a drag queen called Divine, and the ‘hoodlums of the worst sort’ that she spends her time with. It’s no coincidence that she shares the same name as the Divine – John Waters borrowed the name from the novel. The similarities don’t end there: Divine’s character in Pink Flamingos commits all manner of crimes and morally dubious acts with her entourage (in order to maintain her title as the ‘Filthiest Person Alive’), just as Genet’s ragtag group of criminals did thirty years prior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2820f4fa-004f-44e2-ba23-da9f85430964/jean+1.png Features - Inside Jean Genet’s Queer Parisian Underworld - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/trashworld monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/78cf5aa8-4203-4c05-ab4d-ab76b7d62790/EDIT-68.jpg Features - Trashworld Want You to Embrace Being a Lil Weirdo When we last spoke to Dani Miller, one part of the duo Trashworld, the singer was imploring us to explicitly celebrate our platonic relationships as much as our romantic ones - even declaring relying on “friend romance” to be the only way through this gross little world.

It says to the audience, of all ages, come to the cinema. It ticks off everything a box office movie wants to achieve: Sprinkling relatable social commentary amongst silliness, just enough to puncture through the Mattel protective layer but not enough to cause any actual havoc (although it did piss off Ben Shapiro and the like, but at this point that’s a given). A film like this is made for one-liner Letterboxd reviews, it’s made for sneaking in tins of pink G&T in the cinema; it’s made to make people feel good. Barbie could stand alone on its incredible set design. Gerwig’s choice to eschew CGI and have her set entirely comprised of physical props, stages and scenes, the tangible nature created a depth that a green screen could never. The hand painted backdrops gave the film an otherworldy quality, something like The Truman Show and The Red Shoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8aed60b1-699b-47c4-9282-999f7925e4eb/barbie+2.png Features - Film Fatale: Now I Am Become Barbie, Destroyer of Patriarchy&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-defence-of-girl-dinner monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/590955ab-bea6-4d41-80f6-d592541cf5cb/girl+dinner+1.png Features - In Defence of 'Girl Dinner' At the time of writing, there are over 642 million videos circulating on TikTok with the hashtag ‘Girl Dinner’. The phenomenon, still trending, has exploded as millions of people hop onto social media to share their own versions of the meal deemed ‘Girl Dinner’. But what exactly counts as girl dinner? First created by Olivia Maher, the TikTok comedian describes her ideal meal as bread, cheese and grapes amongst other bits, calling the platter ‘girl dinner’ or ‘medieval peasant dinner’. For a little more British context, TV chef Nigella Lawson explains the trend to be ‘picky bits’, but stateside, The New York Times declares girl dinner to be “snack plates made by one person [...] for one person”’. Think of it as a glorious, filling meal composed of leftovers, snacks, delicious tid-bits and everything in-between. It can be cheese and crackers with a side of popcorn, half a leftover baguette with a whole bowl of olives or any easy pasta dish which requires virtually no washing up, eaten directly out of the saucepan. It’s low-cost, low-maintenance and serves solely to make us feel good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/32219602-985b-4176-90e0-87ed48d33594/girl+dinner+2.png Features - In Defence of 'Girl Dinner' - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nicole-x-minmin monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dcda46e0-0a24-49c4-a865-88e64ce36cde/img20230320_22544213.jpg Features - Min Min and Nicole Ngai are Exploring Modern Chinese Womanhood Fashion brand Hu Die Gong Zhu, born from the mind of designer Min Min, brings together contemporary post-internet, post-irony, post-everything sensibilities with elements of Chinese couture.

Fat Girl had a profound effect on me when I first watched it. As part of the French New Extremity movement and the body horror pantheon, it has scenes of graphic sexual violence, but this cinema niche provoked vital discussions about the body and sexuality. More recently, too, Carlota Martínez-Pereda’s 2022 body-image horror, Piggy, offers an insight into how the sexuality of fat female bodies is warped to extremes to control them, but also into how to evade such control. Both films show how fat women’s bodies are both oversexualised and de-sexualised. In Piggy, the insults thrown at the lead character Sara throughout the film, from her female classmates and men hanging out on the street, oscillate between her being too repulsive to be attractive and suggestions at her promiscuity. She’s accosted at the pool, where bullies tease her for having a boyfriend who she must have seduced with pork, laughing that she has ‘finally’ scored. They say that her body ‘eats’ her bikini and steal her clothes. The forced exposure takes her sexuality out of her control. Constantly compared to a pig, she’s denied agency and subjectivity, and teased for being both overtly sexual and sexually undesirable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6af246b-c7e5-40a3-b4b7-c9f124347ac7/fat+grl+1.png Features - The Madonna-Whore-Victim Complex: Fat Girl and Piggy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/stunt-casting monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/57b98254-b53b-4cf2-9255-7c400cc549ff/sarah+1.png Features - The Girl Failure of Modern Stunt Casting: Theatre’s Obsession with Female Risk Taking If there’s anything that gives Girl Failure its name, it’s the bittersweet fate of Succession’s corporate ice-queen, Siobhan Roy. She might’ve edged herself closer to the WayStar RoyCo gearsticks than her brothers, but tethered by womb and wedding ring to the company’s new CEO, she hardly landed on her feet. Sarah Snook, who plays Shiv, has recently been announced as the star of an Australian production of ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, which will transfer to London’s West End next year. But if you thought Snook thrived embodying Shiv’s two faces, be ready to see her conjure an extra 24, because this unique re-imagining of Oscar Wilde’s classic novel offers her a whopping 26 different roles, playing every character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab23cd66-64da-405d-b21f-3cb703834a60/sarah+2.png Features - The Girl Failure of Modern Stunt Casting: Theatre’s Obsession with Female Risk Taking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jennifer-esposito-spins-the-mafia-genre-on-its-head-in-her-writing-and-directorial-debut-fresh-kills monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59757ad6-706b-43fa-9b9a-8a33e9488926/jennifer+2.png Features - Jennifer Esposito Spins the Mafia Genre on its Head in Directorial Debut Fresh Kills Jennifer Esposito is the kind of actor you’ll recognise, but might find hard to place exactly where from. She shines in supporting roles in multiple successful series – as Brenda in Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens, and CIA boss Susan Raynor in The Boys – but not yet had her moment in the spotlight. As an actor, she’s a joy to watch on screen: easy, comfortable, malleable. But as for so many women actors, the roles that are on offer to her are limited, as are the stories she gets to be a part of telling. So, she decided to make her own movie, on her terms, with her distinctive voice. Fresh Kills is Esposito’s writing and directorial debut. It premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in June. It tells the story of the women of a New York mafia family, shifting the spotlight from the often one-dimensional, male-dominated storylines of the genre to something much more unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6db1e6bd-9510-482a-8684-74e03e29ca38/jennifer+1.png Features - Jennifer Esposito Spins the Mafia Genre on its Head in Directorial Debut Fresh Kills - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/charlies-angels monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d81c5268-60ae-4486-ad4e-dbee0da28420/charlie+1.png Features - Finding a Queer Feminist Cult Classic in Charlie's Angels The perception of ‘feminist’ film has transformed drastically over the last few decades. From Agnes Varda’s vast filmography, which focused on how women confront history and memory, to superhero films Captain Marvel, the genre has transformed into something that is almost undefinable. Stuck in the middle of this gear shift is none other than the Charlie’s Angels remakes, released in the early 2000s. Directed by McG - who previously found fame as a music video director for Korn - the film feels like it was made for the male gaze at times. In the sequel, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, which celebrated its 20 year anniversary last month - there’s a whole sequence dedicated to watching the angels perform a striptease set to the Pink Panther theme. The Angels aren’t performing this dance simply to appeal to the men in the live audience, however – they’re doing it to retrieve keys to a warehouse that hang from one of the men’s pant pockets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f5e486e8-0fb1-490a-aefc-315069c6e540/charlie+2.png Features - Finding a Queer Feminist Cult Classic in Charlie's Angels - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/when-female-spirits-battle-a-man-made-society-pasolinis-women monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f6a9ef6-7a63-4e10-b905-1ed8a951ee25/pasolini+2.png Features - Pasolini’s Women &amp; When Female Spirits Battle a Man Made Society Witches, queens, mothers and prostitutes dominate Pasolini’s films, and it’s no wonder considering his knack for mythology.

"DJing is inherently trans,” according to Nita Aviance. “It's putting things together that aren't supposed to be together. It's tearing things apart and seeing the world in a different way." Queer and trans people pioneered electronic music as we know it (Wendy Carlos, one of the inventors of the first commercial synth, was a trans woman), yet only now are trans femmes beginning to get their long-awaited dues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/78166b26-aa09-4c23-aee5-c4973dcedbff/dolls+1.png Features - The Dolls are Taking Over Amsterdam - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-subtitles-ampnbsptranslators-are-evolving-asian-cinema monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4c2ac497-12d5-4e7f-ab0f-7c5b991e75d7/asian+cinema+1.png Features - How Subtitles and&nbsp;Translators Are Evolving Asian Cinema This year was huge for Asian representation in American cinema, though the cultural bang created by Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All At Once, a celebration of diaspora narrative, has finally faded. So, let’s talk about a couple of gems from Asian cinema, lest this underdog Hollywood success story from A24 overshadow the brilliance of movies actually made on the continent. Bong Joon-ho, the Asian director of another Academy Award winner, Parasite, once famously described the Oscars as “local,” hinting at its limitations and bias. He went on to assert his call for diversity during his own Oscars acceptance speech, asking audiences to “overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles” to discover cinematic works in languages other than English. Using the services of a translator, his words marked a moment in the cultural consciousness waking up to non-English narratives. EEAAO itself weaves in multiple languages through its deep dive into multiverses, using different Chinese dialects, and cleverly employing silence and subtitles in text bubbles in the film’s famous world-building sequence for the Rock World. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76df87dd-c50c-403f-935b-20dc53d0b45a/asian+cinema+2.png Features - How Subtitles and&nbsp;Translators Are Evolving Asian Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/carrie-mae-weems monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4ca41059-3cf4-438c-95cd-b1b28485b568/domestic+2.png Features - Art Rookie: In and Around the Kitchen Table - Domesticity in Carrie Mae Weems Within the field of visual art, the ‘domestic’ is often used to highlight the universal experiences of human emotion as it relates to our private, romantic, and family life. In other depictions, it is a site where gendering takes place, and the complicated dynamics of home life for women are revealed. These notions of the home underscored a group exhibition staged at the Museum of Modern Art in 1991 titled Pleasures and Terrors of Domestic Comfort. The exhibition largely featured photographs of scenes from American domestic life in the 1980s and signalled the era’s political and social conservatism spearheaded by American President Ronald Reagan that focus on focussed on the significance of the traditional American family and a return to “good American values”. In a contemporary reading of the show, Sara Knelman identified the subtle resentment of these codes of domesticity, motherhood and gendered labour that sustain family life in the work of women photographers such as Tina Barney and Mary Frey. However, these representations of domestic life and the literature that accompanied them did not challenge the expectations placed on women and the structures of the patriarchal society that sustain these sexual divisions in any substantial way. This tendency to focus on the emotive experiences of the domestic space rather than the cultural and contextual frameworks that shape it is common in discussions of the ‘domestic’ and the ‘home’. American artist Carrie Mae Weems whose landmark The Kitchen Table Series (1989) was also part of the Pleasures and Terrors show, offers an alternative perspective of the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0a61a0cc-0148-4046-8275-47e126db3d3d/domestic+1.png Features - Art Rookie: In and Around the Kitchen Table - Domesticity in Carrie Mae Weems - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/corporate-cinema monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e2287ed-bc66-4cc8-a1ec-b58ddea1328b/18.+Guess+Who%E2%80%99s+Coming+to+Dinner.jpg Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: The Resistible Rise of Corporate Cinema For almost as long as Hollywood has existed, the home of motion pictures has had an obsession with making itself - and its industry - look good. It’s no secret that awards bodies like the Oscars have a soft spot for films about Hollywood itself, like Mank and The Artist, going all the way back to Singin’ in the Rain. It sets a striking precedent whereby cinema is used as a medium to burnish image and reputation. So in a way, it’s surprising that this practice has taken so long to reach beyond Hollywood, to other stories about huge cultural entities. But if there’s one trend that seems to be emerging in the films of 2023, it’s a desire to tell stories about The Little Corporation That Could: plucky “underdog” tales about history-making corporations – like Nike and Frito-Lay – and the people that worked there at pivotal moments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1495626a-eb65-4f36-88d9-91d88693e57d/sam+1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: The Resistible Rise of Corporate Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-memories monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc776cee-58e9-4c36-a2da-8c62d258c565/memories+4.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Memories, Clearing Space and Sentimentality Memories Light the corners of my mind Misty watercolour memories Of the way we were Six months ago I had to start clearing out my studio.

I had been using it for three or four years, and the amount of things I had hoarded in it was staggering. I knew in order to clear the room I’d have to streamline my collection, move what I could into my bedroom, take some of the bigger stuff to a new studio in London I would be sharing with friends, and finally throw out what I couldn’t possibly need any more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b193feb0-fcdf-46c2-ae42-1e834204406c/memories+1.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Memories, Clearing Space and Sentimentality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/29e3dc34-2295-4c79-9388-edac21c2e7b1/memories+2.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Memories, Clearing Space and Sentimentality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1904cc02-952f-4ce3-a08c-8db2af2a5eb4/memories+3.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Memories, Clearing Space and Sentimentality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d39355b6-f341-43d7-a78c-1352c750ffaf/memories+4.jpg Features - Culture Slut: On Memories, Clearing Space and Sentimentality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-search-of-a-soft-life monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f883e26c-d164-4bd1-967b-c56103a6e324/soft+1.png Features - In Search of a Soft Life - Exploring the Roots of this Gentle Aesthetic In the realm of social media, where trends come and go at dizzying speed, one aesthetic has taken centre stage with its rapid ascent: the soft life trend. At the time of writing, the #softlife TikTok hashtag has 931 million related videos. The #softgirl hashtag and the #softblackgirl hashtag have 2.4 billion and 9.7 billion related videos respectively. From TikTok to Instagram, this vibe shift has captivated the masses through its pastel hues and luxury-tinged connotations, but beneath the surface lies a deeper meaning—one that originated in the Black community and has since spilt over into Western consciousness. Originating on the Nigerian influencer side of social media, the concept of soft living has gained widespread popularity. The soft life, as it's known, goes beyond mere minimalist aesthetics of deliberately feminine looks in pastel and pink shades; it describes a way of living—a life of enjoyment and comfort while consciously limiting stress. It dares us to imagine what a life of ease would look like and challenges us to put it into practice. And after the chaos of the last few years, I know I’m not alone in seeking solace in a soft life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb7b5b9a-3067-4d65-855c-43142c5ab566/soft2.png Features - In Search of a Soft Life - Exploring the Roots of this Gentle Aesthetic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/good-question-is-a-love-story-for-new-york-blackness-and-queerness monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/00d50510-84f7-45b6-9327-2ef533df7aa0/casual+performance+during+rush+hour.JPEG Features - Good Question is a Love Story for New York Blackness and Queerness These photos are about a larger story between myself and the neighborhood of Harlem and uptown, New York, and it’s blackness and it’s queerness, and in the way it has provided me with a safe space explore more of myself and my journey as a pole performer, in addition to my journey and experience as a lawyer, in addition to my journey and experience as a queer woman, and the way that all of those different aspects of myself have found a home in this neighborhood, because of the way Uptown retains a very specific authenticity that hasn’t yet been commodified.

As you can likely guess, the 10-minute (monetised) video saw the YouTuber, best known as Miranda Sings, take to performing with a ukulele, as she began and then destroyed any pursuit of regained reputation. I’m not sure how much you could say the video addressed the allegations of child grooming that have followed Colleen since 2020 – instead it took a patronising tone which, given the circumstances feels rogue. Controversy response videos have been the subject of online jokes for almost a decade, but in 2023, some celebrities seem to care less about self-image, and are committing fully to the ‘bit’ that is their own villainy. The rise of the Apology Video took off with YouTube and has almost become its own genre in the world of beauty gurus and drama channels. The concept has even gained its own visual conventions in recent years, with the routine set up of raw editing, no-make up and a blunt video title with a full-stop for impact, as YouTubers pursue a fake form of authenticity by flicking on the sincerity and reciting from an intricate script. In a way, their audiences already know that the majority of these called-out creators aren’t actually as affected as they appear, but for some reason we’d rather them act this way. We’d rather they deliver this mechanical sense of earnestness instead of sharing their real thoughts on the topic, because this veneer of PR-friendliness is what needs to be kept up to maintain careers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fd6d32a-94dd-4106-8c1f-701be38a4716/apology+2.png Features - Apology Videos: How Celebrities Have Traded Sorrys for Shock Factor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/stop-chucking-stuff-at-musicians-pink-doesnt-want-your-mams-ashes monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8ba3608-30b5-4f2d-9db8-d9ff5e56005c/concert+1.png Features - Stop Chucking Stuff at Musicians: Pink Doesn’t Want Your Mam’s Ashes On June 18th, Bebe Rexha had a phone thrown at her by a fan who apparently believed it would be ‘funny’. It’s an excuse many of us have turned to when inadvertently hurting a mate - but the key difference in Rexha’s case is that she had no clue who Nicholas Malvagna, the culprit, was. Rexha was rushed to hospital, where she posted a photo of her bruised and bandaged face as a reminder that outside of going viral on TikTok, our actions have consequences. Instead of dissuading crowds from physically assaulting celebs, however, Malvagna’s phone throw seemed to spur them on: In the following days, Ava Max was slapped across the face during a stage invasion, Kelsea Ballerini had a bracelet thrown at her eye, and Pink was not only handed a huge wheel of brie at a gig, but also - separately - given one soul’s departed mother’s ashes mid performance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7598c502-8d57-463f-a76a-9f2adac8d05b/concert+2.png Features - Stop Chucking Stuff at Musicians: Pink Doesn’t Want Your Mam’s Ashes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tiktok-strangers-and-social-anxiety monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbaf3bbc-b4d6-4869-b4bb-6f15d5945119/1.png Features - Exploring TikTok’s Guidance on Social Cues, Eye Contact and Friendship There’s no escaping the fact that the world is markedly different ‘post’-pandemic. We’re out of the first panic of a global unknown, but life is changed forevermore, for better or for worse. While there isn’t really an area of life that the pandemic and lockdown didn’t touch, they seem to have had a particular effect on our interpersonal relationships.

And while you may know her from her roles as Shea in Transparent, or Tracey in history’s greatest movie about con artist strippers, Hustlers, her latest part, in Monica, as the title character – a woman who returns to her hometown to care for her dying mother – is the most intense of her career, revealing yet another layer of her versatility as a performer. As she wound down from the huge undertaking of her first ever starring role, she sat down with fellow actor, Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany, to discuss her acting process, how her roots in Dayton, Ohio, as well as the ballroom scene in NYC affect her performances, and her dream roles, exclusively for Polyester. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3094f368-48af-4e15-bba6-40588a30e2d3/jpg-final4.jpg Features - Trace Lysette in Conversation with Tatiana Maslany, on Dream Roles and Finally Becoming a Leading Lady - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7ba34bb4-acd6-490a-8240-981b5d6faf88/jpg-final2.jpg Features - Trace Lysette in Conversation with Tatiana Maslany, on Dream Roles and Finally Becoming a Leading Lady - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/65d036b2-6089-44c4-a19b-b9663c9ecc76/jpg-final5.jpg Features - Trace Lysette in Conversation with Tatiana Maslany, on Dream Roles and Finally Becoming a Leading Lady - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/17e8753c-15af-4c5c-bdbf-e0a64c897462/jpg-final7.jpg Features - Trace Lysette in Conversation with Tatiana Maslany, on Dream Roles and Finally Becoming a Leading Lady - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7da1d7b9-aa07-4bea-abcd-85b529593c96/jpg-final1.jpg Features - Trace Lysette in Conversation with Tatiana Maslany, on Dream Roles and Finally Becoming a Leading Lady - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sasha-gordon-is-balancing-beauty-with-discomfort monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed862ba7-7d90-4926-92b7-0e5370c4d9d7/GORD+01+Trimmings.jpg Features - Sasha Gordon is Balancing Beauty with Discomfort When you look at Sasha Gordon’s work, you feel her painted selves return your gaze with their reflective eyes, stark like onyx set against a round face, full of unsettled emotion. In her self-portraits, worry is captured in the furrow of an eyebrow, anger in the wrinkles of a nose. When we meet at Stephen Friedman Gallery to talk about her first European solo show, The Flesh Disappears, but Continues to Ache, however, Gordon is quick to laugh. We start the interview gushing about Lena Dunham’s Girls (which she’s seen multiple times), Jeremy O. Harris and the hectic months before this exhibition. “It’s been crunch time,” she laughs. “I’ve been sleeping at my studio, chain-smoking and painting through the night.” In Gordon’s images, various versions of the artist herself move between rage, sorrow and impishness. Opting for oil paints, she is able to build up the layers into a saturated urgency, asserting the both unease that comes with being witnessed, as well as the embodied experience of existing in a bigger queer, Asian body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76f68638-7af3-4f10-a082-089901cb711e/GORD+02+Volcano.jpg Features - Sasha Gordon is Balancing Beauty with Discomfort - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4564a0c8-5ce4-4655-ad73-dc0deb3c05ab/GORD+04+Volcano+1.jpg Features - Sasha Gordon is Balancing Beauty with Discomfort - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec0e5047-c8be-4872-9390-49faafd306c1/GORD+05+Conch.jpg Features - Sasha Gordon is Balancing Beauty with Discomfort - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-literary-thrillers-taking-on-our-true-crime-obsession monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b4c52a06-e675-4435-8bdc-3c402762dd60/crime+1.png Features - The Literary Thrillers Taking On Our True Crime Obsession A lot of us have found ourselves drawn into culture’s true crime obsession: it’s a way to indulge our morbid but all too human curiosity from a comfortable distance. But the true crime boom has certainly reached saturation point: these days, there are more podcasts and docudramas than even the most hard-boiled enthusiast can handle. This was certainly evident last year, if not before, when Ryan Murphy’s Jeffrey Dahmer series, starring Evan Peters, became the centre of controversy. The show was relentless in its graphic reenactments of Dahmer’s crimes and raw depictions of families and victims, many of whom had not consented to having their stories told. If it was not apparent to us before that true crime’s insistence on retelling cases long solved then the Dahmer show certainly opened our eyes and turned our stomachs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f38ddc7-3c7f-4e96-9d80-35208a12d8a1/cimr+2.png Features - The Literary Thrillers Taking On Our True Crime Obsession - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/khaotic-kaylee monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed5497aa-d762-466d-b5dd-93706f236b67/kaylie.png Features - Khaotic Kaylee’s Guide to Being Unhinged If you’re as plugged into the matrix as I am, then you’ve been saying “I’m having enrichment time in my enclosure” in an Appalachian lilt every time you’ve been caught doing something weird for the past three months.

In a digital environment where the algorithm is constantly outpacing us all, Linda’s unwavering, year-round dedication to her pink ‘n’ red Valentine’s aesthetic – inspired by everything from classic movies to fetish illustration – is a testament to sticking to what you love even when everything around you is always changing.

Her characters include the “girl who works her boyfriend into every conversation,” the “girl who doesn’t want to make a big deal out of her birthday” (but in fact makes multi-day plans) and — perhaps her most popular — the “absolutely insufferable female lead of an indie movie.” Rowe is one of a new generation of women comedians on TikTok who have become famous by using character play to imitate certain “types” of women. The skits, usually around 30 seconds long, satirise traits that are vaguely narcissistic in nature. The comedy style is smart in that it feels niche while actually being uber-relatable — everybody has crossed paths with an annoying person — and is accordingly popular, with creators attracting millions of likes and comments of assent. So it’s clear that the videos are broadly funny. But if women are the punchline, does the content veer into misogyny? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2cfa131f-8289-4d45-b079-021b70349492/women+2.png Features - The Rise of Women Laughing at Women - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dakota-schiffer-on-subtle-drag-wealth-disparity-and-killing-the-girlboss monthly 0.5 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2ee79307-a0f3-4756-bb4b-8c027342d42d/dakota+cover+final.jpeg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out It’s only been just over six months since Dakota Schiffer was introduced to the world. Making her entrance via the stage that hosts all household drag names, RuPaul’s Drag Race - more specifically, Dakota appeared on the fourth season of the UK rendition of the show. It feels especially important to delineate this franchise from the American series, not just because British drag has a notably different sensibility to its stateside cousin, but as RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has no cash prize for the winner, due to being shown on the BBC. This also means that the show has no weekly gifts for the challenge winners, which in recent years on the US show have come in the form of dollars rather than lavish gifts from sponsors. But with no prize money at stake, why would a queen get involved with the drag competition in the first place? While a few may claim to enter solely due to a love of competing, most are taking part to take advantage of the platform it provides: To reach a global audience, to make a career out of drag, to become a ‘Ru Girl’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13a5fae1-d4ac-42ff-b35b-71641edbfa36/Polyester+x+Dakota+5.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c508dfea-7f83-4961-be1b-15da891af040/Polyester+x+Dakota+6.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b7c0f0d-c81e-4ef7-8f53-d38b13a2b26c/Polyester+x+Dakota+1.2.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8361745e-7a2f-4433-8a7a-5bbdc2dbb4fc/Polyester+x+Dakota+8.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b4a10941-c0d7-4192-95d3-e0eece6092ca/Polyester+x+Dakota+12.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/388f3957-000c-4e49-b2d5-5b019297022a/Polyester+x+Dakota+10.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a257e9aa-366f-4139-877c-600e3fd1f5c5/Polyester+x+Dakota+4.2.jpg Features - Dakota Schiffer on Subtle Drag, Wealth Disparity and Killing the Girlboss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rush-hour-crush-is-the-editorial-glamourising-our-commutes monthly 0.5 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61d34e64-2afd-4ab8-866a-5ec64a96e82f/2.jpg Features - Rush Hour Crush is the Editorial Glamourising Our Commutes - Make it stand out For those of us still heading into the office post-lockdown, the commute has become more than a journey back and forth from your job, but a space to try and get your life organised to utilise your time as efficiently as possible.

Nadine and the Pxssy Palace team are committed to challenging the systemic issues that prevent many marginalised communities from feeling comfortable in club space by implementing policies such as gender-neutral bathrooms and a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination or harassment.

Not only that, but she offers concrete steps for creating a more inclusive publishing process.

It celebrates crucifixes, fading wallpaper, one-room schoolhouses and gauche, technicolour images of Jesus Christ. As a disclaimer - but you would be forgiven for thinking otherwise - Southern Gothic is definitely not Kim Kardashian’s 2018 editorial dressed in Amish cosplay. Instead, it’s true crime snapshots and a faded, dirty American flag. Southern Gothic is the sweat dripping from Robert Patterson’s brow in The Devil All the Time, the deranged sister of cottage-core, a Lisbon girl impaled on a white picket fence: it is the dialectic between the grotesque and American mythology. My first encounter with Southern Gothic was, as you might expect, on Tiktok. Much of its success appeared to originate in Hayden Anhedönia’s alter ego: Ethel Cain. Although not necessarily mainstream, #Ethelcaincore has garnered enough interest to induce dismay for those intent on gatekeeping Ethel Cain. There is no better summary, I think, of this aesthetic than Anhedönia’s description of her own fanbase, or ‘daughters of Cain’, as “Girls that fuck in dirt pits, girls that think mildew smells good, girls who know you’re supposed to smoke a lot of weed before listening to Preacher’s Daughter…”. A video on TikTok titled Very Specific Aesthetics pt.41 visualises Southern Gothic along similar lines. Tumblr-esque images abound; eerie churches inscribed with apocalyptic messages, a photographic recreation of the painting Christina’s World, and an editorial of Mia Goth wearing a nightgown in the forest. These are disparate elements, which, in typical TikTok fashion, appear to sanction the idea that being depressed and living in the middle of nowhere is enough to lay claim to an aesthetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e302f4ca-bc28-467c-bd27-c1c6541e3c4c/southern+gothic+2.png Features - Daughters of Cain, Sharp Objects &amp; How the Recession Gave Rise to the Southern Gothic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/give-them-face-give-them-body-abjection-and-party-culturenbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c5e3a1a-c7ed-4f76-896d-7343c5348c37/abject+1.png Features - Give Them Face, Give Them Body: An Argument for Party Culture being Abject The internet has decided that anything cool and worthy of praise is “for the girls, gays and theys” and honestly, it should be. The girls, gays, and theys, particularly those of colour, are the pioneers of culture. Whether it be music, fashion, or hair, style is swiped from the trendsetters themselves: first ridiculed, then appropriated, and finally carried into the mainstream. But, I want to posit something else worth attributing to these trailblazers, specifically in the realm of party culture. For women and the queer community, the ritualistic event of getting dressed up, going out, drinking, and dancing the night away is magical, but I also believe this act is inherently abject. Abjection was seminally explored by philosopher Julia Kristeva in her 1980 text Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection. In this essay, Kristeva molds the concept of abjection as a state of recoil, a visceral reaction to the disturbing. This can be shallowly identified in responses to images of the corporeal, including the emission of internal fluids like vomit, feces, blood, or corpses and rotting flesh. But Kristeva takes the concept of the abject further, defining it as “what disturbs identity, system, order. What does not respect borders, positions, rules. The in-between, the ambiguous, the composite”. Arguably, this means abjection can be found in a social context, too, through crime, vulgarity, and essentially anything that disrupts the boundaries of our individual identity and social fabric. While abjection is not flattering, when placed in the hands of women and queer people, it can lead to a subversive power and agency others - read: conservative white cis men - fear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d8a33fe-0668-4b9e-8cd1-7961e503b418/abject+2.png Features - Give Them Face, Give Them Body: An Argument for Party Culture being Abject - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nina-menkes-on-filmmaking-misogyny-and-brainwashed monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d2342932-9614-4d54-aa4f-20ba60214c34/nina+1.png Features - Nina Menkes on the Male Gaze, Misogyny in Cinema and Brainwashed Nina Menkes’ Brainwashed was released in late 2022 and it’s an eye opener that has the potential to ignite serious changes in films as we know them. A long standing name in the feminist film genre, using a multitude of classic cinema clips, Menkes is establishing five pillars that dissect Hollywoodien techniques that are used by filmmakers, that go beyond Mulvey’s “male gaze” and cause the audience to submit to certain power relationships as dictated on screen. We’ve become so accustomed to this way of seeing, that yes, we’re brainwashed. We chat to Nina Menkes about subjects, objects and how a female revolution in Hollywood could help retrain our way of seeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/64d82753-876d-447a-a417-294a58e236ce/nina+2.png Features - Nina Menkes on the Male Gaze, Misogyny in Cinema and Brainwashed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-catholic-aestheticism-became-fodder-for-pro-ana monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3fc35b0-c824-4f1a-8d84-fb9019c65e12/trad+cath+2.png Features - I Want a Perfect Body, I Want a Perfect Soul: How Catholic Aestheticism Became Fodder for Pro-Ana Accounts A great awakening is upon us. It-girl writers are churning out feverish, God-pilled Substack essays and wearing meta-ironic streetwear bearing religious iconography. Click on the Instagram profile of any esoteric influencer with a dissociative pout, and her bio may read something along the lines of ‘perfect, sinless angel’ or ‘behold, the lamb of God’ where it once bore her astrological ‘big 3’. A few years ago, she was probably sleeping with rose quartz under her pillow, talismans since replaced by rosaries to match the spiritual aesthetic du jour. Catholicism is cool again, to varying degrees of sincerity, depending on who you ask. Although this traditional-as-transgressive trend has naturally been met with backlash, it’s a welcome reprieve from the superficial TikTok-spirituality that saturates the zeitgeist, à la ‘lucky girl syndrome’, the latest in a never-ending cycle of repackaged New Age ideas of mantric manifestation. It’s also decidedly less problematic than the appropriation and whitewashing of Eastern religious symbols. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de8f6b8b-3d5b-476f-8e74-b6cc2da4e66d/trad+cath+1.png Features - I Want a Perfect Body, I Want a Perfect Soul: How Catholic Aestheticism Became Fodder for Pro-Ana Accounts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mette monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a988cd79-0079-4008-adaa-c58b8a1d0647/mette+1.png Features - METTE is Mothering: On Chosen Family, Female Strength and Dancing METTE is a musician who you’ll already be familiar with, even if you haven’t heard her music.

Studios signed hundreds of young women to starlet contracts, locking them in for several years, often at a very low wage. Once signed most of these would-be stars languished in B movie bit parts and chorus lines but for the few who did draw attention from studio execs, who were considered to have real money making potential, the studio would become not merely an employer but an all controlling entity something akin to a coercive even abusive relationship. The studio managed every aspect of its players' lives. From what they ate, wore, the medication they were on, who they dated and critically, their identities. A full studio makeover meant an actress was locked into perpetually playing a designated role off screen as well as on, a role that often had little relationship to her actual personality. Names and biographies changed as well as appearances. A star crafted by executives out of the raw materials provided by an endless stream of hopeful, pretty girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea33d90c-bc45-4a68-bdd6-e463af408966/rita+1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Becoming Rita - How Hollywood Has Never Championed Natural Beauty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/su-tissue monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55b0ef90-ec76-495f-8b0c-5dcdf30f4945/su+tissue+2.png Features - Stop Looking for Su Tissue of Suburban Lawns: On the Inappropriate Nature of Internet Sleuths Spotify has a strange way of bringing bands that were once uber niche, subcultural nods that only Discogs members appreciated, into the ears of any schmuck who left their playlist radio playing for too long. As an avid user of the platform from the age of twelve - that’s almost fifteen years of me giving the algorithm everything they need to know - I have been scouring suggested artist after suggested artist. I’d waltz into English class and ask if I can listen to Kleenex during independent reading time. I’d pace between the A and the P of the record shop looking for Playing with a Different Sex by Au Pairs. As insufferable as that made me, nothing compared to hearing the very same songs come up as my friends played their own Spotify accounts on their suggested mixes. The indescribable crush of your ego when you realise a large part of your music taste was crafted by the algorithm, not solely on your own digital crate digging skills.

For many, the release of Sam Levinson’s The Idol offers comforting familiarity; it’s a guilty-pleasure we can sink into, before scrolling timelines that also remind us of heady 90s subcultures and harmful beauty standards. This is heavy, sexy, salacious TV that could have been taken straight from the pop culture era of Pete Doherty and Kate Moss dangling themselves out of windows, cigarettes held between teeth as they laugh together. We want the drama, the aesthetic, the story of a young woman exploited by a misogynistic industry, because we know it well. Just like with bad relationships, bad habits, bad friends, what you are familiar with feels good. But if the whisperings that leaked from the production of the show are anything to go by, unlike Levinson’s critically acclaimed series Euphoria, The Idol doesn’t seem to be foraying into hedonistic nostalgia with one foot firmly in the current context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1bf09d0-7564-4b9b-b47d-b16ccaf14a17/the+idol+1.png Features - Idolising Sam Levinson: Can Problematic Art Ever Be Worth It? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nbsppriyanka-is-the-drag-race-winner-making-the-most-of-her-winnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/66a00126-418b-4704-8055-e0ad92c4821c/pri+2.png Features - Priyanka is the Drag Race Winner Making the Most of Her Win&nbsp; In the years to come, this period will be remembered for certain cultural events; the death of Britain’s longest serving royal old boot, the legislative crack down on queer lives and trans rights, and the meteoric rise to stardom of the queen Priyanka. After winning the premiere season of Canada’s Drag Race, Priyanka has been a non stop tour de force; making music, celebrity appearances, viral videos and generally infecting us all with her inimitable joie de vivre. Previously, I would have said the timing of her Drag Race run was fortuitous, airing during the first lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic to what was, essentially, a captive audience - but everything Priyanka has accomplished since shows us that she truly would have become a star with or without such flattering exposure. Our culture editor Misha MN managed to sit down with her just before embarking on the marathon of DragCon LA, a weekend that brings out the brightest and the best of all the franchises, and heard about her hopes and dreams, her new music and her thoughts on fellow icons Priyanka Chopra and Christine Quinn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bb10a23c-4a29-4fb8-b90c-50b04c870093/pri+1.png Features - Priyanka is the Drag Race Winner Making the Most of Her Win&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/headline-why-im-jealous-of-people-who-love-japan monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5794351-4f98-4f39-b787-c60fb0861f89/japan+1.png Features - Why I’m Jealous of People Who Love Japan Just like last summer when everyone was in Italy, it seems like everyone is in Japan these days. The ‘cool’ Japan is officially back - maybe it never left - but nonetheless its exoticism is in full swing. Most tourists I encounter say everything is as they expected, or even excelled in what they anticipated. Old people smiling back at you on the streets like from a Ghibli film (literally never happened to me), the friendliness (I would never describe Japan as a friendly country unless you are travelling with a foreigner or in the suburbs), the kindness that people will go above and beyond to help you (Tokyo? It’s a city, no one is kind enough to help you with anything), the Michelin star level service with affordable prices (this is true), and best of all, the unreal order and structure while holding a population of 14 million people. I can see and understand how the unfamiliarity is strikingly attractive to many. “Japan is so cool.” That’s what my foreign friends and ex-lovers will tell me whenever they visited. I think it’s a cool place too, sure―the best bowl of ramen you’ll ever have in your life that is less than $8, the little phrases that is hard to translate into English like ‘irashaimase’, ‘itadakimasu’ and ‘gochisoma’ all to show respect to the people who are eating and made your food. The excessive apologising of public transportations for being 10 minutes late from schedule. It’s all things I appreciate as well, but it’s without saying that the Japan foreigners are experiencing and the Japan I experienced throughout my life is so different. I find it hard to genuinely be excited with them about Japan. Is the Japan they find so intriguing really the same Japan I have known for 30 years? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/958ad4cb-664f-49ef-b663-d5ca721bacb9/japan+2.png Features - Why I’m Jealous of People Who Love Japan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-capitalism-robs-women-of-having-hobbies monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea139e41-d9d2-4c68-9f91-cb998363340e/hobby+1.png Features - How Capitalism Robs Women of Having Hobbies It's not often (aside from, perhaps, Matt Healy and Taylor Swift dating rumours), that a tweet stops me in my tracks and threatens to derail my sanity for at least a week, but it happened to me just the other day. Twitter user @jsux had this to say: “adulthood is a slow, terrifying process of realising no matter how many versions of yourself you try, you can ultimately only pick one and then spend the rest of your life watching the other versions crouch in the dark corners of your brain”. As I sat in my flat, looking around at all my books, records, different passion projects that I had picked up and haven’t found time for since (1000 piece Moomin jigsaw, my grandmother’s old cookbooks I was determined to experiment with, a notebook with some vague scribblings about what I was up to last summer abandoned after three days), I felt the all too familiar clench of realising that I related to something, and my relation to it was making me feel things. It didn’t stop there. Someone else had weighed in with a screenshot of a Tumblr post that read: “what are your twenties if not an endless string of the ghosts of who you thought you’d become”. I put my phone down to contemplate the haunting truth of what I’d just read and realised to be true. I, and many of my peers, have changed drastically since our late teens. We’ve left a “string of ghosts” in our wake, some of them perhaps better left in the past (I think my 17 year old phase of riding the Tube in fishnets and red lipstick ‘reading’ the Communist Manifesto in the hopes that people would see me as the cool, astute girl I was desperately trying to be was a particular low point). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49b24fe3-9a6d-48e7-bcee-5f96fabddbc2/hobbt+2.png Features - How Capitalism Robs Women of Having Hobbies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-wicker-man-home-county-horror-and-the-desire-to-go-back-into-the-woods monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/18944249-7217-42be-bbd5-af29664ded09/folk+horror+1.png Features - The Wicker Man, Home County Horror and the Desire to Go Back Into the Woods Corsets, flash photography of dripping candles, a half eaten fish on a table surrounded by grapes and wine in the garden of someone's parents' country house in Cornwall. How did we get here? Pagan adjacent visuals are dominating fashion, film and television. Our collective unconscious has surfaced with an obvious urge to go back in time. In particular, the popularity of Folk horror has been growing endlessly, most recently with the boom of Ari Aster’s Midsommer (2019) and the cult following of The VVitch (2015) directed by Robert Eggers. Although these films have all the elements to deserve a mass following (stunning female lead, a ‘good for her’ plot, a talking goat), as we approach the 50th anniversary of The Wicker Man (1973), it seems that this genre is not actually a recent favourite, but rather a cult genre that has become more relevant than ever in recent years. The modern world makes many of us feel extremely alienated: Countless artworks have been produced expressing the desperate sensation to find a real connection, to find a real home, to have stability and for it to be genuine. Maybe it’s the microplastics in our blood stream, but this yearning has pushed us into dabbling with witchcraft and astrology. There’s a real collective desire to touch grass, to move into the woods, to discover something otherworldly and mystical, reassuring us that there is more to life than just this. It opens the way for Folk Horror, an unendingly relevant genre for our present, one where we’re nostalgic for the past and regretful of the future before it even arrives. We can live vicariously through these films’ landscape as most of us struggle to find the time to bask in the wilderness, with additional the horror plotlines offering us perversions of nature that our brains are instinctively attuned to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/09d8d642-e0ac-4f86-917d-828a14367a7d/folk+horror+2.png Features - The Wicker Man, Home County Horror and the Desire to Go Back Into the Woods - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mourning-the-death-of-poc-arts-organisations monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0644be1a-8b8a-4199-98d9-9da676352472/galdem+1.png Features - Mourning the Death of POC Arts Organisations Many like me, a Gen-Z artist and writer of colour, have been lucky enough to have gone through our teens with an abundance of inspiration in the form of millennial creative role models – honorary older siblings if you will – making movements in the art world. For me in particular, those people were Liv Little, Ronan McKenzie, Tia Campbell and Nadine Davis: Their respective projects inspired me on many levels. Little is the founder of gal-dem, a radical media publication celebrating the voices of marginalised genders in the POC community. McKenzie first entered my cultural sphere as a photographer and more recently founded the project HOME by Ronan McKenzie, curating thoughtful and intimate exhibits of works by artists of colour. Campbell and Davis were the duo behind BBZ London, an artist and DJ collective spotlighting queer POC talent in the form of exhibitions, parties and other subversive events. These projects set the tone for the youngers, and are known by many for their individual successes. Their work has been instrumental for the visibility of POC creatives, and paved the way for DIY ambition. BBZ London, for example, curated the culturally essential Alternative Degree Show which first introduced me to Rene Matic, now a serious player in the art world with a solo show most recently at South London Gallery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8362c5be-32db-45dd-8bce-fd9fb56b18fb/galdem+2.png Features - Mourning the Death of POC Arts Organisations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/succession-reality-show-stopped-watching-the-news monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a8686e9c-c971-445e-87d4-b2142956d72a/news+1.png Features - Succession is a Reality Show: Why I’ve Stopped Watching the News For years I tried to stay up to date with the news cycles. I thought that being informed made me a good citizen and it was my responsibility to consume daily news. I felt too guilty to step back from the constant stream of pain, suffering and hardship being delivered through regular ‘Breaking News’ notifications. Didn’t my privilege as a cis, white, middle class woman mean I had to push through the discomfort to face the truth of the world around me? I came to the same conclusion as Nina Miyashita in her recent Refinery29 op-ed, that disengaging from these programs and averting my eyes from the news was a luxury, and continuing to bear witness to abuses in society was my duty. It wasn’t until I started working as a campaigner and became the main person responsible for our media engagement, that I realised this binary way of thinking had been created by the systems of oppression I wished to undo. Who had decided that daily news consumption was a moral marker? And how did it benefit them? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0bdf70b-fb28-47c8-82aa-746b5efdf6e4/news+2.png Features - Succession is a Reality Show: Why I’ve Stopped Watching the News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fatal-attraction-and-the-remake-industrial-complex monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b63c5139-4178-4fbd-ab50-11fc5e672c86/fatal+attraction+1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Fatal Attraction and the Remake-Industrial-Complex Alex Forrest is a character with a complicated legacy. In an episode of the film history podcast You Must Remember This, host Karina Longworth talks about the (literally) violent hatred for her that audiences had during screenings of the original Fatal Attraction (1987). Forrest even had the misfortune to create a certain kind of shorthand when describing stereotypical ideas of intense, troubled, or crazy women: The Bunny Boiler. So, when a cute white rabbit appears a couple of episodes into the Paramount+ remake of Fatal Attraction, you know that things are about to take a turn into a more uncomfortable direction. Remakes are a tale as old as time; whether it's the wave of American adaptations of early 2000’s Japanese horror films like The Grudge and The Ring, or the more recent decision to take old films and turn them into TV shows. Things like Fargo, Friday Night Lights, and even Buffy. But the question that looms over all remakes is the same: Why? The answer is often the same as well: Money. But crude capitalistic desires aside, it’s possible for remakes to provide meaningful new interpretations of classics; Fargo takes the vibe of the Coen Brothers original film and pulls it in all sorts of interesting directions. And so, with a character like Alex Forrest, you’d think that a remake of Fatal Attraction might be able to do something engaging with its source material. Yet while the show isn’t bad, it unfortunately never manages to get out of the shadow of Adrian Lyne’s 80s erotic thriller. But the reason for that doesn’t seem like Alex at all, but male protagonist Dan Gallagher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc6b03c8-37d7-4225-891c-6933e9bcd918/fatal+2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Fatal Attraction and the Remake-Industrial-Complex - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/punk-patriotism monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76dea975-bf5b-4dfa-9128-9d1e335ab541/National_Anthem-3.jpg Features - National Anthem: Punk Patriotism! Explores Celebrating America During Its Decline Photographer Kathryn Coers Rossman is a proud patriot, 100 percent hoodlum and product of American decline. She has channeled all her cultural anxiety about being an American into this project. Her aim is to take back the flag for those who feel disassociated from it. Americans have become less patriotic than they were. A WSJ-NORC poll from this year showed a 32 percent decline in patriotism since 1998, finding that "patriotism, religion, having children and other priorities that helped define the national character for generations are receding in importance in America." Whether or not they are aware, Americans have become global inhabitants and are doing things differently because they can disregard boundaries. Especially online, pride in national identity is neither practical nor profitable. The American flag is now associated with right-wing politics. Laced with irony, a tortured emblem flown after terrorist attacks and mass shootings, and in warzones and on Wall Street. Patriotism is now synonymous with nationalism. It has slid into nostalgia and cynicism. Whereas British subculture has long embraced the Union Jack, the very idea of Punk Patriotism is “un-American.” This project attempts to exhibit the U.S. flag as slickly punk through political surrealism and our general disenchantment. It is possible to wear the Stars and Stripes unironically, but it is impossible to wear the flag without acknowledging how much we squandered—be it wealth, resources, goodwill or time. Acknowledging all that is wrong with America, yet remaining invested in this democratic experiment, we turn to punk patriotism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b6b2953-a39c-4f94-be4a-ca13aceed6a7/National_Anthem-8+%281%29.jpg Features - National Anthem: Punk Patriotism!

This year’s theme was a tribute to the career of Karl Lagerfeld, a figure who WAS the fashion industry for so long, but so many of whose recent comments were bad takes. I mean, who would have thought that someone who reigned supreme during the years of original supermodels, heroin chic and the Weight Watchers era could possibly be fatphobic? Personally, I was very disappointed that Chanel West Coast wasn’t there in her sexified Karl Lagerfeld look from her hit song ‘KARL, but not all of one’s dreams can come true. But do you know who was there? Nicole Kidman, and that’s the only person I care about today. She used a unique blend of memory, mystery and modernity, fused with her own star persona, to create a truly emotional moment of camp euphoria. It’s a little embarrassing to admit how much time I’ve spent thinking about the 2019 Met Gala Camp: Notes on Fashion. A truly great theme that proved notoriously tricky for the stars (or, more accurately, their stylists) to interpret, probably due to the distinctly American trait of not being able to differentiate between camp and campy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba21cd43-a232-442a-9b63-48de6cf5420f/nicole+goddess+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Nicole Kidman is the Last True Film Star - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-does-literature-love-messy-women monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7ffe163-6b20-408c-8b4f-14eab4696000/messsy+2.png Features - Why Does Literature Love Messy Female Protagonists? Literature is in its problematic female protagonist era, with the likes of Ottessa Moshfegh, Sayaka Murata and Lisa Taddeo leading the way in representing the very real complexities of existing as a woman in the 21st century. Books such as Ghost Lover by Taddeo, Big Swiss by Jen Beagin, and Luster by Raven Leilani are compelling case studies into this rising cultural phenomenon, one that allows the women reading along with these menacing minxes to break free from oppressive stereotypes that have lurked between the pages of female lit for too long. Big Swiss by Jen Beagin follows main character Greta, a woman who transcribes for her town’s renowned sex therapist. She becomes involved in a convoluted affair with a woman healing from recent trauma. Greta is a woman in her 40s with a trail of anguish; her father was incarcerated, and she found her troubled mother dead from suicide at thirteen and her remaining adolescence was spent being passed from family member to family member. It is, at its core, a deranged exploration of the impenetrable relationship between sexual obsession and trauma, titillating between intense sexual fantasies and Greta’s relationship with existing in an ageing body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a65a2a3a-180e-4c55-8a7e-15e053ff5495/messy+1+%283%29.png Features - Why Does Literature Love Messy Female Protagonists? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-infantilisation-of-male-celebrities-is-weird-and-misogynistic monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4c78259c-bf93-47e7-9321-2c1b40610a06/men+2.png Features - Infantilising Male Celebrities is Weird and Misogynistic The Depp V. Heard defamation trial was one of the worst times to be active on social media. The constant barrage of pro-Johnny Depp content, from fan edits of him in the courtroom, to memes about Amber Heard’s physical appearance, to Twitter threads detailing why user @IStandWithJohnny thought Heard was a “lying slutbag” was increasingly hard to stomach as the days of the court case went on. But at the time, I wasn’t really surprised that a lot of people, particularly Depp’s fan base, didn’t believe Heard — we do live in a society that constantly refuses to listen to and consistently tries to silence victims of abuse and assault, after all. What stood out to me as particularly bizarre was that so many pro-Depp people weren’t just claiming that he was innocent, they were also treating him like some sort of helpless victim, who wouldn’t make it to the next day of the trial without their support. I would type out comments like, Depp isn’t going to pay you for cooing at him eating candy and doodling like he’s some adorable kid and not a literal abuser, and I promise you he doesn’t give a single shit about you, before reconsidering that I didn’t want trolls in my DMs for weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7e3b012-357c-449a-989c-441fdba06de0/men+1.png Features - Infantilising Male Celebrities is Weird and Misogynistic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/photo-dump-why-are-we-obsessed-with-taking-photos-of-literally-everything monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c08340be-dcbd-4559-be10-53ad755cb8dd/photog+1.png Features - ‘Photo Dump!’ Why are We Obsessed with Taking Photos of Everything It can’t be denied, we’re the photo-taking generation: a live music event, a puddle of petrol rainbowing in the sun, you name it, we’re snapping it. But as photo taking has grown a fresh limb in the realm recently, from BeReal to TikTok’s slideshow feature, it seems that documenting our lives has become something more than just an appreciation of the world’s prettiest looking things. The Photo Dump I’m sure we’re all aware, began on Instagram with quirky captions to eclectically curated images. But where these ‘dumps’ offered a sense of effortless cool, there still lingered an excessive curation of glamour behind every photo; the best photo from your weekend away for example, or the most sophisticated of your dinner party set up; the ‘dump’ gave spectacle to ordinary life but still in a way that felt unattainable. And it’s from this that I feel the TikTok photo dump differs; while we’re still showcasing our lives, we seem now to be relinquishing this need to perform in the same way. I find myself swiping through a person’s empty breakfast plate, their tub of vitamins, their grey view from the bus, people are archiving their days through their most everyday moments and often in the most imperfect ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6c4b781-a7ca-4708-b150-bad01b1d570c/photog+2.png Features - ‘Photo Dump!’ Why are We Obsessed with Taking Photos of Everything - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nicola-dinans-debut-novel-bellies-picks-apart-the-confusions-of-your-early-twenties monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc6d6598-fcae-4961-944e-f31785bf5423/book+1+%281%29.png Features - Nicola Dinan's Debut ‘Bellies’ Picks Apart the Confusions of Being Twenty Something The period after finishing university and becoming a real adult person seems to be growing wider and wider with each generation. It is now almost unheard of that graduates step straight into careers with any link to their studies - at least, if you were on an arts and humanities course that is. In her literary debut, author Nicola Dinan explores the liminal space between leaving education and entering the workforce. Bellies follows two narrators over the course of their relationship, from initial meetings to final conclusions on young love. Tom is a middle class but liberal Londoner who is late to coming out as gay, while Ming is a Malaysian playwright who transitions during their relationship. With multiple veins of insight about growing up, growing together and growing apart in our twenties throughout the book, Polyester editor Gina Tonic sat down with Dinan to discuss all things second adolescence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/62175d82-1aae-41ab-b9c9-6614a17dba63/book+2+%281%29.png Features - Nicola Dinan's Debut ‘Bellies’ Picks Apart the Confusions of Being Twenty Something - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/kristine-kujath-thorp-tells-us-why-we-need-more-toxic-women-on-our-screens monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52bbb8fc-ead3-4009-81e8-2d05927c53a1/sick+of+myself+1.png Features - Kristine Kujath Thorp Tells Us Why We Need More Toxic Women on Our Screens There’s a certain genre of cinema focusing on the body as slowly breaking down and decaying. Whether through illness, injury or a vivid imagination, the protagonist is always extremely stressed out about the situation and fiercely keeps it a secret - paradoxically, these characters often take a sick and twisted pleasure in their own grotesqueness. Some of my favourites of this twisted genre include The Fly (1986), Titane (2021), Safe (1995), In My Skin (2002) and many, many more. Sick of Myself joins this depraved cinematic canon. John Waters named it as one of his top films of 2022, reviewing it as “Pretty? Pretty? Pretty fucked up!” And if John Waters thinks its fucked up, you’re onto a winner. It doesn't take a genius to recognize the limited autonomy women have over their own bodies. Currently, there is a cultural battle waged by right-wing forces in America, trivialising pregnancy and other aspects of women's health as something as mundane as council tax or potholes. Dr. Natalia Kanem notes that “We see violations of bodily autonomy when a lack of choice leads to unplanned pregnancy. We see it in life-derailing practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation. It is there when people are denied their right to live free from violence and harm, including online, as is their bodyright.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c9d1a54-4c4b-47e4-9ea3-e13c6310dc61/sick+of+myself+2.png Features - Kristine Kujath Thorp Tells Us Why We Need More Toxic Women on Our Screens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/kara-jackson-on-the-timelessness-of-folk-music monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/034087ec-c502-431a-a2e8-8c5383240a55/kara+1.png Features - Kara Jackson on the Timelessness of Folk Music There’s a folk revival in the air, and former Chicago Poet Laureate Kara Jackson is giving us a unique approach to the timeless genre with her debut album Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love? The album opens with the 62 second track ‘recognised’, where Jackson sings over the simple, raw piano: “Some people get high to be recognised / Some people roll dice to be recognised.” It sets the tone for what’s to come; an honest exploration of relationships, pain and wishes sung over gorgeous strings. Jackson invites the listener to face these themes with her, while the album takes its time and lets you appreciate every verse - Jackson’s writing skills are at the forefront and makes for an unforgettable album. Jackson chats to Polyester editor Charlotte Amy Landrum on how her poetry and music intertwine, the women who inspire her and the political importance of the folk genre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e23e65ee-386a-4e87-8412-58675375b098/kara+2.png Features - Kara Jackson on the Timelessness of Folk Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/xr3yvt9mvtdrl03968obl6j5ye470m monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c70fcd6a-3ea3-464e-970f-8a78597e7366/fan+edit+2.png Features - What is Vidding &amp; When do Fan Edits Become Legitimate Pieces of Pop Culture? Look up 'Lana del Rey music videos' on YouTube and chances are that you will come across not only the singer’s official channel, but also Leandro’s (leandroxcx). With 226k+ subscribers and millions of views, it is a great example of what can happen when a superfan, self-taught editor and film buff decides to deliver painstakingly well-crafted fan made videos (vids). His most viewed vid (35M+ views) is symptomatic of how deeply fan culture has contributed to shaping pop culture as a whole, by meshing together two defining moments of the 2000s and 2010s: Lana singing “my pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola” and Megan Fox devouring young men while wearing the most iconic pair of heart-shaped earrings. The (un)holy union between two unhinged staples of pop culture, an act of disruption and celebration.

In the UK, the average screen time is 5 hours a day. On TikTok, the platform that has reinvented the meaning of content entirely, users spend an average of 46 minutes per day on the app, watching upwards of 180 videos per day. In a world that is overwhelming without the need for self-induced overstimulation, social media has got us in a chokehold. The rise of new earth spirituality in the West has brought with it new understandings of how external factors shape our internal wellbeing and happiness. Whether you view sex to be an exchange of energies, or believe that you attract what you put out, or have ever saged your space, you likely recognise that our energy is not just something dependent on a good night’s sleep but a whole host of things.

Not only did he turn up late, omit several hits, and end the set early, he was also brave enough to commit the ultimate live performance faux-pas: lip-syncing on stage. Frank fans were quick to express their disappointment after he openly mouthed the words to several of his songs, without even a microphone to hand. “The fans deserved a genuine show from him. What they got was abysmal and (I’ll say it) pretty disrespectful. People paid a lot of money and what they got was a lip-syncing, chaotic mess” tweeted the Frank Ocean Daily account, followed by more than 100,000 fans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9aaa7688-3a7c-409d-b849-c6ec7cbf8562/lip+syn+2.png Features - Why Are We So Quick to Discredit Lip Sync Performances? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/horse-girls-is-the-editorial-analysing-the-weird-girls-from-our-school-years monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aaf59544-afa9-46dc-ab95-d6678e5825c9/SANY0063.jpg Features - Horse Girls is the Editorial Analysing the Weird Girls from Our School Years This shoot was inspired by the cultural concept of horse girls.

These images are meant to spread joy and create pleasure and solidarity among women and girls who feel ostracized in some way.

This increased appetite for modernised African music has led to a surge in artists and visionaries who hail from Nigeria’s cultural capital, Lagos. In particular, artists like DEELA and Brazy have garnered thousands of listeners, with their fan bases growing steadily almost daily. These women have created communities of people who are obsessed with the aesthetics of Black excellence and the subversive self-expression of their favourite artists. My first intro to this musical subgenre was with DEELA and T6lu’s song FIT released in February 2021. The song’s whispery sound and punchy lyrics are gripping, and the melodic beat makes it a surefire hit. When I asked the girls about their process, T6lu explains that the song was a result of the pair “just vibing”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/716ac0b6-ba51-468e-9864-214ccb289aa2/lagos+2.png Features - Lagos Girls Rule The World: Chatting with Nigeria’s Newest ‘It’ Girls on the Symbiosis Nature of Style and Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/conversations-with-friends-when-did-we-lose-empathy-for-each-other monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c604f0e8-1d5c-414b-a427-e5e2262db71a/friend+1.png Features - Conversations with Friends: When Did We Lose Empathy for Each Other? Discussions regarding friendships have changed in recent years; As our neoliberal capitalist society continues to impact every aspect of our lives, friendship is next on the list. In the past, friendships have been based around ideas of love, community, and mutual aid. Supporting and being there for those you love was seen as natural as breathing, but increasingly discourse online, on platforms such as Twitter have been pushing back on this understanding of friendship, and instead making it transactional. Back in February of this year, Codie Sanchez, who gives masterclasses on investing, tweeted that she would never expect her friends to pick her up from the airport. Writing “use Uber, save a friendship”. The tweet sparked various discussions, some agreeing with Sanchez, with one user replying with “as your friend - I would be stoked to hear you’re so busy crushing life you can’t pick me up”, textbook hustle culture speak; Sanchez replied with, “right back at ya sister”. There were also others disagreeing with Sanchez’s sentiment and approach to friendships. One user responded by saying that “not every minute of one’s day MUST be leveraged/optimised/assigned to something for gain.” Another replied to Sanchez’s tweet writing “I’d do anything for my friends. Giving them a ride is the least I could do for them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52a9ee36-4451-4880-94a5-f6ec05d30808/friend+2.png Features - Conversations with Friends: When Did We Lose Empathy for Each Other? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-prozac-nation-girl-interrupted-and-the-sad-girl-legacynbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33f376a0-e57d-431d-9c62-4ae23a519f1e/prozac+1.png Features - Film Fatale: Prozac Nation, Girl, Interrupted and the Sad Girl Legacy&nbsp; - Make it stand out A pretty twenty something sits on the edge of the bed, her makeup is minimal, her long grown out hair covers part of her solemn yet sweet face.

Aged twelve all the way up until present day, I, like many other young women, looked to the TV screen for solace, and flicked through the memoirs of the most notable depictions and real-life experiences of depression from women before I was born for solidarity.

Stars like Amanda Bynes, Raven-Symoné, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appeared in shades of pink and purple, with the headline “It’s Totally Raining Teens!” emblazoned across them. The cover has become a cultural reference point for the early 2000’s, epitomizing our present nostalgia for the era of TRL, dELiA*s, and Blackberry phones. This same nostalgia has reinvigorated the careers of Hilary Duff (How I Met Your Father is the Lizzie McGuire revival that never was) and Lindsay Lohan (one critic dubbed her 2022 Netflix rom-com the “Citizen Kane of Christmas movies”). Given the renewed relevance of the velour tracksuit, it is only natural that Paris Hilton — the OG champion of Juicy Couture — would use this moment to stage her own triumphant comeback. Thus, Paris: The Memoir (2023) was conceived. In Paris, readers are treated to a feast of emotional whiplash. Anecdotes regularly transition from graphic descriptions of physical and sexual abuse to corporatespeak-laden passages about her partnership with various brands: “[Razr cellphones were] all about functionality that took users seamlessly into a whole new mode of social and commercial interaction.” The memoir is carefully crafted, with each new bit of information chipping away to reveal a Swarovski-encrusted statue of a survivor who managed to transform her trauma into a certified #girlboss empire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2ad1fb5a-abba-4cb4-b555-8813933f5f4e/paris+1.png Features - Paris Hilton’s Memoir Makes Us Pose The Question: Why Do Only Some Celebrities Get Redemption? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sophie-thatcher-into-the-woods monthly 0.5 2023-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa3875d3-cfda-451b-b9cd-84d3153dff33/sophie+thatcher+x+polyester+cover+.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out “When I like something.

I can’t quite make out which are showcasing her favourite films and which are displaying the bands that she spends hours down an internet rabbit hole googling, but one thing is obvious; Sophie, at her core, is a fangirl. “I go to the fullest extent, and dive as deep as possible. it's just like me at my core wanting to know more and wanting all the information.” Sophie’s breakout character, Natalie in Yellowjackets, is also someone that could be described as obsessed. But while the former channels her obsession into the pursuit of cultural knowledge and artistic practices, her character in season two, Natalie, is forced to spend her days endlessly hunting prey to catch and kill for her teammates to eat. Yellowjackets, was undeniably a sleeper hit. The show’s first season quietly dropped via a streaming service in the UK weeks after its US premiere, and spent its initial run building a cult audience by proving it was for the girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9dc6a893-b81b-4d14-814f-389b85259014/000021120010-Enhanced-Edit+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d2122993-6b4f-47c8-a4dc-ce38c62d50a8/000021100004-Enhanced-Edit+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33fe7122-e9eb-436b-9f1f-6576e18b077f/000021090010-Enhanced-Edit+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba38913e-e748-4b90-91ab-438fd067c663/000021080011-Enhanced-Edit+copy+2.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ed7e94e-ed1e-4cc8-8a27-1d2f330e8642/000021100003-Enhanced-Edit+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0ef2c8a-b260-4679-956b-adcefe9661cd/000021090012-Enhanced-Editwarm+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e20d5f72-031e-471e-88a6-7488f47d3ae3/000021090015-Enhanced-Edit+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b942442-ee25-4c64-8c02-87df9255d419/000021080016-Enhanced-2-Edit+IG+CROPcopy+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3dcb96fd-db73-41b6-99bd-f8b682327e0b/000021090004-Enhanced-Edit+copy+2.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42553107-102a-428a-ac7e-14a489c606f3/000021110006-Enhanced-Edit+copy.jpg Features - Sophie Thatcher on Female Rage, Seeing Ghosts, and Growing Up Tumblr Famous - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-how-winona-ryders-iconic-roles-confirmed-her-as-an-eternal-beauty monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59155edf-e6a0-4249-bdfc-c266c8521081/winona+1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: How Winona Ryder’s Iconic Roles Confirmed Her as an Eternal Beauty - Make it stand out Between 1988 and 1990 Winona Ryder starred in three cult classic movies: Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, as well as Daniel Waters’s Heathers. She started filming as Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice when she was just 15, filmed Heathers at 16 and by the time Edward Scissorhands was out she was still only 19 years old. Yet she had starred in nine movies, was half of the most high profile celebrity couple of the day and could go nowhere without the breathless attention of the world. Ryder’s popularity marks a sort of change in the culture. She has gone on the record with Vogue about not being considered a beauty when she first started out - “I was the opposite of what was going on in film. In the Eighties, it was all about blondes and a very different look. The first five things I did, I was cast as what was literally described in the script as 'the ugly duckling'." And even at the height of her fame, post Edward Scissorhands, she was still described in weird terms like “the thinking man’s pin up” which is an interesting compliment that somehow feels like a neg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e04502f1-7ff4-437a-b85f-04e209b1f11a/winona+2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: How Winona Ryder’s Iconic Roles Confirmed Her as an Eternal Beauty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-gods-and-monsters monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/70567615-8ec4-4701-acef-fc8f17917f00/eeaao+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Gods and Monsters Shows Brendan Fraser’s True Talent - Make it stand out I felt very involved in Oscar season this year. I read so many articles about predictions and trends and inner machinations that I felt like an unpaid intern for Entertainment Weekly or something, and I loved it. Like any good gay, the crowning glory for me was the Best Actress in a Leading Role, followed by Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and I’ve been fairly consistent with following that every season, but this year I was into it all - Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Original Song, all of it, every category. I guess the broad reason was that I was absolutely in love with the pop juggernaut Everything Everywhere All At Once, directed by the Daniels, but the more focused reason was that I was very emotionally invested in Michelle Yeoh’s journey to winning Best Actress - the first Asian woman to do so, and only the second woman of colour (the first being Halle Berry more that twenty years ago). Yeoh’s performance was incredible, showing herself to be a true well of conflicting emotions, an abiding love, comedic prowess and the physicality of a true heroine, all of which has been glimpsed in the decades of her veteran career but this role, written specifically for her, finally gave her the opportunity to explore the complexity she so desperately deserved. I cried real tears as I watched her receive her award (presented by Berry) and she gave an incredible heartfelt acceptance speech, and EEAAO won almost every category it was nominated for. I was very emotional, and also a little drunk from the ouzo I drank in the hours and hours I waited for the Best Actress category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc702665-2687-4710-8849-a4616b1114f7/gods+monsters+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Gods and Monsters Shows Brendan Fraser’s True Talent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-radical-acts-of-queer-self-pleasure-in-the-masturbatory-reader monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/62f46aad-780e-4c35-9fca-36e27d5037ef/sam+moore+2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Radical Acts of Queer (Self) Pleasure in The Masturbatory Reader - Make it stand out Pleasure can be a difficult word to define. On the surface it might mean enjoyment or satisfaction, and there are a lot of things available to take pleasure in. You could take pleasure in listening to a song; in how a certain outfit clings to your body; in reading (or writing) this. And in spite of what its name might imply, the Masturbatory Reader - a new anthology of queer writing published by Sticky Fingers - opens up this idea of pleasure, asking both its contributors and readers to define it as widely as possible. It’s a book that asks not just how pleasure feels - physically and emotionally - but also where we find it, and why we might seek it out. Whether through examinations of the body, the soul, or the act of writing itself, this Reader tries to take pleasure - as a word, an act, as something examined through a uniquely queer lens - and put it on the page. It’s no wonder that the first piece in the anthology - ‘Pleasure \ \/ / Seeker’ by D Mortimer - opens with the line “let’s offer up our hearts to each other, and by hearts I mean first drafts.” It’s an exercise in searching - through the body, the archive - in trying to find pleasure as much as to experience. There’s something radical in this, in the refusal to define pleasure or desire through a normative lens; taking only the weird and the wonderful, and seeing how good it can make you feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f5f0099c-4176-4ed8-ac73-674881134ffd/sam+moore+11.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Radical Acts of Queer (Self) Pleasure in The Masturbatory Reader - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/spoiler-warning-tiktoks-cinema-of-the-supercut-is-ruining-film-watching monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b7112de-3533-4da9-9a91-e1a686d41b52/tiktok+1.png Features - Spoiler Warning! TikTok’s Cinema of the Supercut is Ruining Film Watching - Make it stand out The other week, while discussing recent Letterboxd logs with a group of fellow film obsessed acquaintances at a party, I found myself participating in what, to the uninformed eye, might have looked and sounded like a meaty dissection of Darren Arronofsky’s The Whale and its surrounding controversies. If you’re living under a modern day rock (aka your Twitter notifications are silenced) the A24 adaptation of the Samuel D. Hunter play of the same name - which heralded the highly anticipated Brenaissance - has been shrouded in criticism from the moment its promotional images dropped. This is for a multitude of reasons - from Arronofsky and his team’s choice to cast a fat suit clad, straight-size actor as a 600 pound man, to the film’s apparent trauma-pornification of queer pain. My friends and I ravenously picked at the film’s proverbial carcass, weighing up the hot takes and think pieces galore that have dropped, good faith takes and bad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/63118947-9568-4220-a2c0-36acaa2eda7c/tiktok+2.png Features - Spoiler Warning!

It would seem that India is finally having its moment at the global stage - but, understandably, reactions are mixed. Feeling critical of the current mood of euphoria and not sharing in the enthusiasm of the elite in a country rife with inequalities and under the rule of a right-wing Hindu nationalist government is a valid response. Add a mixture of white validation, crony capitalism and an overall culture vulture vibe of Orientalist Western gaze and you have a deeply problematic picture, regardless of how many Hollywood awards it may win. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c4fb1e6e-dd81-4756-952a-4cc212786562/south+asia+2.png Features - The Deeper Problems Behind Recent Trending Cultural Moments from India - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-to-make-money-guides-to-feminism-are-everywhere-but-do-they-actually-help monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23610b8c-642a-4bc7-afab-51701b9e7d3e/book+2.png Features - How To Make Money: Guides to Feminism are Everywhere, But Do They Actually Help? - Make it stand out Feminism has been pulled in many directions, co-opted by trends, brands and influencers across the board to suit differing, misleading needs. None more subtle however, than the glossy pages and bubble font of the countless guides, manuals and bitesize depictions of feminism that have creeped onto bookshop and coffee table shelves in the last few years. When thinking about the guide form, the self-help and pop-psychology genres spring to mind. You might think of the close-but-no-cigar efforts of ‘feminist’ influencers such as Florence Given’s ‘Women Don’t Owe You Pretty’ (2020) as an ’accessible entry point’ into feminism or ex Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague’s girlboss memoir/manual Becoming Molly Mae (2022). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d35e841-9ddf-4eb1-a13b-8cc6adb36674/book+1.png Features - How To Make Money: Guides to Feminism are Everywhere, But Do They Actually Help? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lets-ride-feminist-revolution-or-half-baked-dissidence monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab30ffe2-0b7a-414c-b37f-888acca9787f/car+1.png Features - Let’s Ride: Feminist Revolution or Half-Baked Dissidence? - Make it stand out From the mainstream to the margins of pop music, vehicles have been at the centre of album aesthetics over the past year. The choice of wheels is as varied as the artists who adopt them: whilst Dua Lipa opts for a sleek and sexy vintage model on the cover of her nu-disco album Future Nostalgia, Ashnikko’s motorcycle in Tantrum is as bright and futuristic as her neon-blue hair and streetfighter-esque aesthetic, and Tkay Maidza’s flower-adorned tanks show the artist playing with our expectations in both the album’s art and its content. Technological influences are nothing new to the world of music, and the 2010s is an era full of prime examples. It would be almost sacrilegious not to mention Lady Gaga in this discussion, an artist who played heavily with technology in both the musical and the physical during the release of her futuristic and genre-shifting album ArtPop. Launching both an interactive network-based application of the same name, as well as a flying dress named Volantis under the technical division of her brand Haus of Gaga, the Lady of Pop adourned this musical era in all things high-tech. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ae533ac-7f9d-47a0-9b15-4dca2b99af90/car+2.png Features - Let’s Ride: Feminist Revolution or Half-Baked Dissidence? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/margot-douaihy-is-conducting-a-queer-retelling-of-noir-through-a-nuns-gaze monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e743377a-0e2e-4cea-bbb0-d44142995cfb/nun+1.png Features - Margot Douaihy is Conducting a Queer Retelling of Noir Through a Nun’s Gaze - Make it stand out Detective stories have always been transgressive: Film noir detectives exist in the fringes of society, looking for answers in dingy dive bars filled with smoke, in shady corners of cities chasing down mobsters and femme fatales, stalking down clues and red herrings in the dead of night. Scorched Grace takes that one step further - the detective is now a recently converted nun with a shady past. A nun trying to set herself right, but a nun who can’t resist the temptation of a juicy mystery. Margot Douaihy is a writer, poet and university professor. Her work is carnal, sensual, Dionysiac and very very queer. Her debut novel, Scorched Grace is the first release from renowned modern who-dunnit writer Gillian Flynn’s imprint for Zando Books. In Gillian Flynn’s own words, the imprint will “publish both fiction and nonfiction—books across genres that are propulsive, culturally incisive, and dynamic. The list will be unexpected, often voice-driven, conversation-starting and gasp-inducing.” Scorched Grace encapsulates it all. A chain smoking, heavily tattooed lesbian nun with a gold tooth prowling the streets of New Orleans like a noir detective, trying to solve a series of arson at the Catholic school she teaches music at. A truly unique tale that flips detective fiction on its head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/10e72eae-1d30-46da-9ca3-c8c4a73d8e96/nun+2.png Features - Margot Douaihy is Conducting a Queer Retelling of Noir Through a Nun’s Gaze - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/spring-breakers-and-the-radical-teenage-girl monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8319592e-2b39-4d42-a1de-5e4fffe8a0f0/spring+breakers+1.png Features - Spring Breakers and the Radical Teenage Girl - Make it stand out Four Disney starlets stripped down to their skimpy, neon-coloured bikinis partaking in a healthy mix of cocaine-snorting, beer chugging and beach parties while on a holiday in Florida. I’ll admit: the premise of Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers doesn’t make the film sound like it’s going to be particularly radical or subversive. Not unless you’re around the age of 14 and in your Effy from Skins phase, anyway. To be honest, it was with this lens of teenage angst that I first viewed Korine’s film: aged 15, Spring Breakers was just another vision of aspirational debauchery, something I’d try and emulate in the sleepy British town where I lived. But in the ten years since it was released, I’ve revisited Spring Breakers again and again, each time developing what I think the controversial film is really trying to say. Now that I’m 25, I’ve decided it’s this - the teenage girl is a figure with deeply radical potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce6540b8-2d2c-4a51-adf5-053522ffa8f6/spring+breakers+2.png Features - Spring Breakers and the Radical Teenage Girl - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/almudena-heredero-on-how-to-put-on-a-great-festival monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa4f75ed-e27d-4d2b-bdae-71c8604888fa/festival+2.png Features - Almudena Heredero on How to Put on a Great Festival Almudena Heredero is a powerhouse in the Spanish music industry, having pioneered spaces for women within it for over a decade.

Baby botox - a popular preemptive botox treatment marketed towards people in their twenties - is praised by influencers and models for helping freeze their faces and prevent any and all minuscule signs of aging. This is mortifying to reveal, but the weeks leading up to my twenty-third birthday were unsettling. I was graduating from the age Taylor Swift anointed “happy, free, confused and lonely” and into the age I had decided comes with the symbolic weight of being an adult, aka no fun pop songs from 2012 to indulgently relate to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ba583e6-c3f1-4855-ad43-b7e4cdd9019b/art+rookie+2+%281%29.png Features - Art Rookie: Women, Art and The Aging Body&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-worlds-best-female-drummer-an-ode-to-meg-white monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/209cb52f-37f3-4c02-8975-708b16075ae3/meg+1.png Features - The World’s Best Female Drummer: An Ode to Meg White As I was walking home from seeing Blink 182 at Liverpool Echo Arena in 2012, I was listening to a conversation between some drunk men. One of them asked something along the lines, “Are there actually any female drummers?” There was a pause. One man declares, “I can only name the one from The White Stripes.” The group murmurs and another one says, “She’s not really a proper drummer though.” My 14 year old self filled with rage, as - although I was walking home from a pop punk gig - the garage rock, bluesy sounds of The White Stripes dominated my Itunes library. Even before I was gifted the mobile music library of an iPod Nano or a Sony Ericsson, my mum and dad would solely play MTV Rocks music videos on TV, and since I could stand I was dancing along to Meg White’s rhythmic, symbol crashing sounds. For me, they stood out the most amongst the rock noise our home was constantly filled with. For my fifth birthday I received a small plastic drum kit so I could sit next to the TV and play alongside Fell in Love With a Girl and The Hardest Button to Button. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8e2a994-68d6-48a6-8ae9-7a07ccddfebc/meg+2.png Features - The World’s Best Female Drummer: An Ode to Meg White - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/doechii-on-how-to-harness-the-creativity-and-confidence-needed-to-be-a-superstar monthly 0.5 2023-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7148c0f-fc00-4392-b342-9ee7f69281d5/doechii+cover+high+res.jpeg Features - Doechii on How to Harness the Creativity and Confidence Needed to Be a Superstar - Make it stand out If Doechii were to write a book about her career so far, she’d call it “Alligator Bites Never Heal.” I audibly laughed when she told me this over zoom as a statement without explanation. I couldn’t help it. “What an unusual title,” I thought to myself, but Doechii is not your usual artist, and that’s what makes her so refreshing. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the Florida-born rapper and singer by name, her infectious and outlandish lyrics live in the depths of your subconscious. The lyrics “Hi my name’s Doechii with two i’s” from her song Yucky Blucky Fruitcake – which went viral on TikTok in 2021 – have dominated the internet ever since its release. From that moment on, Doechii has continued to ride on an uphill wave of success. From being the first-ever female rapper to be signed to Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), securing a joint record deal with TDE and Capitol Records, placing number 17 on The Fader’s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2022 for her song Persuasive and releasing her five-track debut EP she / her / black bitch, which peaked at No. 23 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.

Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Piri, also known as Sophie McBurnie, is a myriad of contradictions. Who could have imagined that the self proclaimed “goody two shoes” from school, who ran a K Pop Twitter stan account, would end up making it onto the UK charts? It would be oxymoronic to any gammon that a recreational pole dancer with a pop career would have a degree in chemistry from Lancaster uni. Piri grew up in Rochdale, a small working class town on the outskirts of Manchester, and while it’s easy to imagine a younger Piri dreaming of leaving the north, the opposite is true. Leaving her hometown in the North of England to study at the nearby in Lancaster university, Piri waxes lyrical about the cozy vibes of the small city: “It's near the Lake District, so we would go out there with our friends and it's really scenic. There's a castle and I loved being at a campus uni, being so close to everyone.” She smiles. “There's towns around Greater Manchester that have more of a city vibe than Lancaster. They didn't even have a Nando's when I was there! They've got one now, thank God.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1e924dc9-33cd-42e1-a275-82bf7a440377/23.03.06_Polyester_SH01_058.jpg Features - Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e381761-ebbc-4692-b352-be9731f51419/23.03.06_Polyester_SH03_171.jpg Features - Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e6c0537-9880-45e0-86dc-616bf14c779a/000058410007.jpg Features - Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8e384afe-2e37-4b95-b2ce-cf3dfe21710f/23.03.06_Polyester_SH04_238.jpg Features - Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da83adeb-44e7-4542-a10e-27f527904dc6/000058360005.jpg Features - Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76d51abf-0c07-4e5e-a592-90600766e2b7/000058350009.jpg Features - Piri on TikTok Snobbery, Female Producers and the Importance of OnlyFans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cat-burns-is-broadening-black-lesbian-representation monthly 0.5 2023-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/63a3046c-907c-4c12-acb9-653ba1426c38/cat+cover+high+res.jpeg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation There’s a lot of doom and gloom surrounding LGBTQ+ people in the UK at the moment. The press is determined to drag down anything positive and constantly peddle fear mongering articles about trans people, drag queen story hours and homophobic Tory policies. Musician Cat Burns notes how bleak it is and the importance of talking about the positive sides of being a queer person. The 22 year old singer songwriter climbed through the ranks of TikTok during the first lockdown in 2020 with her single go that soundtracked 1000s of videos. As an out and proud lesbian how does Cat feel about the current treatment of LGBTQ+ people in the UK at the moment? She bemoans the bleakness of it all and why she strives to be positive and open and proud about who she is. Cat notes: “It's nice to add a little bit of love into the world. I'm very aware of how lucky I am as a queer black woman, to have been able to come out to their family, and really not be met with any pushback at all. And for them to be so accepting to my girlfriend and for us all to have experiences together. For it to be just normal.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/add20933-74a6-49ab-9e06-45aa976f2b48/cat+2.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d96942a9-e428-4fda-a626-e933da5f5885/cat+5.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfa363ae-4c30-43bb-9903-0dd4a6b02f46/cat+3.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33924bef-2569-44e1-bfcf-44b4f347c237/cat+6.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7d4c24b7-6ceb-4306-883d-8d66b2f0d77a/cat+4.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04e26854-606d-4aa0-8240-516a83fce92c/cat+7.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d91fc512-8aee-409f-81bd-4357f0789337/cat+8.jpg Features - Cat Burns is Broadening Black Lesbian Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/is-it-possible-to-make-queer-ai-art monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7898c46a-b270-4c22-bc36-308bf778cb32/collage2_1080x1360.jpg Features - Is It Possible To Make Queer AI Art? What does it mean to be Queer? And what is Queer art? This is something that is ever changing and growing in my opinion, but the dictionary defines Queerness as “denoting or relating to a sexual or gender identity that does not correspond to established ideas of sexuality and gender, especially heterosexual norms.” My main take away from this, in terms of Queerness, is the uprising against ‘established ideas’. To be Queer is to be different, to be rebellious, to be against the norm. I believe queer art to be a reflection of this attitude. I am a designer & queer artist and my media ranges from painting, to 3D software, to photography. When AI art started to enter the mainstream, I had a natural curiosity about using AI as a tool for making art. I approached Midjourney, an AI art tool much like the more well known DALL-E, with excitement - and a pinch of reluctance - in the hope of creating specifically queer art using the new tool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79e7824b-b6da-4aae-9608-436db3f233d7/collage6_1080x1360.jpg Features - Is It Possible To Make Queer AI Art?

Swarm follows Dre, played by Dominique Fishback, a young woman dealing with the loss of her sister. Dre seeks solace in a parasocial relationship with her favourite pop star Ni’Jah and is driven to seek violent vengeance on anyone who is against her. The entire show is a commentary on pop culture, living online and a lens into a very familiar, terrifying fandom - the Beyhive; The monolith of stans ‘protecting’ Beyonce. Fandom has always been a part of the entertainment industry, even if it didn’t always have that name. The term “stan” first emerged in 2000 with Eminem's release of the song of the same name, depicting an obsessive fan who goes to extreme lengths to connect with his favourite artist. Since then, stan has been used to describe an excessively devoted fan of a celebrity or public figure. And, of course, social media - Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram - have been spaces where stans have gathered to lavish love (and hate) on TV shows, podcasts, celebrities and often partners of celebrities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac0ad220-c7dc-4295-a590-c25ca914885c/swarm+2.png Features - Swarm, Stans and Parasocial Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-marie-antoniette-lick-the-star-and-the-visual-language-of-sofia-coppolanbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81ffbc8f-0d76-4965-968c-44fcaaf77d24/sofia+1.png Features - Film Fatale: Marie Antoinette, Lick the Star and the Visual Language of Sofia Coppola&nbsp; A Sofia Coppola resurgence has arrived. Although she has always been a staple of girlhood in film and has thrived on the internet through girlbloggers and Letterboxd lurkers, it seems like only now are we seeing the true, widespread appreciation for her hazy teen dream features. With the recent Uniqlo x Sofia Coppola collab (that I absolutely bought) and the viral TikTok of her daughter making vodka pasta whilst she’s grounded being briefly listed on Letterboxd, a film rating site, it makes absolute sense to bask in the soft feminine and nostalgic lens of her filmography all over again. Marie Antionette (2006) is a story that reimagines the idea of girlhood, youth and the awkwardness of growing up into a setting you wouldn't expect. Suburban streets and American highschools come to mind when thinking of these themes in film, almost exactly like The Virgin Suicides (1999), but seeing this type of story placed in a historical, fantasy-like setting gives it a warming quality. It makes you consider how the duality of innocence and confusion surrounding growing up has always existed, even though it is only in the last century that we begin to see ‘teenagers’ as a stage of life separate from childhood and adulthood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6568c6a0-c871-4d22-a46d-7ac680fd4872/sofia+2.png Features - Film Fatale: Marie Antoinette, Lick the Star and the Visual Language of Sofia Coppola&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-blackstages-leila-davis-is-showcasing-and-protecting-pole-dancers-of-colour monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3249b7b1-05d2-4062-b2d5-e5adfd8ad037/qwc22.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Blackstage’s Leila Davis is Showcasing and Protecting Pole Dancers of Colour It’s hard not to be blown away by Leila Davis. The 27 year old pole dancer, instructor, and stripper has fought hard against exploitation in her industry and now creates opportunities for other marginalised people to thrive. She has worked with brands such as Nike and Savage X Fenty and is a powerful voice in the UK pole scene. I had the privilege of seeing her perform live at a queer event a few months ago and her stage presence and sheer skill radiates. Leila is the director of Blackstage, a show created to spotlight pole dancers of colour, which has cemented its place in the UK pole scene in just 2 years. Against a backdrop of constant exclusion and harassment of queer and Black people in the arts, and at a time where sex workers' livelihoods are increasingly threatened, Blackstage is providing a crucial platform for marginalised dancers and setting the bar high for the treatment of pole dancers. We sat down to discuss the journey Blackstage has been on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a773c53c-8e97-4662-8d1d-ace5c8e05c5f/qwc11.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Blackstage’s Leila Davis is Showcasing and Protecting Pole Dancers of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-what-is-the-point-of-the-razzies monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/87b59858-968c-4168-8d35-8bb9687b07d0/razzie+1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What Is the Point of the Razzies? Awards shows never seem to know who they’re for. On the surface, they seem like entirely self-congratulatory affairs: a bunch of industry people getting together to reward their own industry for another year in the books. And in theory, there’s nothing wrong with that; peers are on panels and juries for one another all the time. But for a while now there’s been a change in, if not how these award shows see themselves, but how they want the world to see them. In 2009, the Oscars expanded the field of Best Picture nominees to ten, after the financial success, critical acclaim, and 2008’s lack of a Best Picture nomination bestowed on The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan’s “Heat but they’re in silly costumes” take on the Batman mythos.) That year’s Oscar host, Hugh Jackman (another member of the superhero-industrial-complex), even asked in his opening number “How come comic book movies never get nominated? How can a billion dollars be unsophisticated?” Fans have been bending themselves out of shape over this for years - even complaining the year after Joaquin Phoenix won the literal Academy Award for Best Actor for Joker - that these films aren’t taken seriously by awarding bodies. This led to the bizarre, meaningless fan voted Oscar categories: OscarsFanFavourite, and OscarsCheerMoment. Both of them were won by Zack Snyder movies, and both of them are functionally worthless as awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14c179a4-070e-4b88-8348-e6a05722b850/razzies+2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What Is the Point of the Razzies? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/just-vibing-in-sparkly-underwear-can-you-feel-the-agency-from-miu-miu monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24e6b4d7-b570-431a-89c2-770e5222c244/miu+miu+1.png Features - Just Vibing in Sparkly Underwear: Can You Feel The Agency from Miu Miu? "If I were younger, I would go out in panties!" Miuccia Prada laughed after the FW23 show. The show, to everyone's surprise, did not feature their iconic ballet flats or rough-edged looks – Stylenotcom posted, "Miuccia is done with mini skirts." Instead, Miu Miu seems to have gone back to references from when it all started for the brand in the '90s and down to the early 2000s. Miu Miu in the early decade of the 1990s pronounced a distinctive minimal style for the young schoolgirl with slip dresses, jean shorts and colour-blocked two-pieces. The FW94 campaign saw Rosemary Ferguson bare-chested in an unbuttoned jacket paired with underwear. A young Drew Barrymore modeled for the SS95 campaign in a bright red bra and panty. Then sheer entered the party and Kate Moss, infamous for wearing one of the most remembered sheer looks from the decade, walked down the SS95 runway in a casual chic blue-grey sheer top which looked like it had been worn a few times, with mildly unkempt hair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/258156c2-1b94-4c6e-8dc8-01bb2710cac7/miu+miu+2.png Features - Just Vibing in Sparkly Underwear: Can You Feel The Agency from Miu Miu? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-does-hollywood-keep-making-biopics monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1531a0dc-c53a-4ca3-94c9-634509e88320/biopic+1.png Features - Why Does Hollywood Keep Making Biopics? Another cycle of Oscars season has passed us by, adieu! Thanks for the Hollywood glamour and for the surprising and heartwarming wins. Yet, we’ve noticed that despite the historic wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once, the film is the exception, not the rule. The films that the Academy nominated betray an age-old fascination with the celebrity biopic. From this year’s nominations, we have Baz Luhrman’s cinema of attractions in Elvis, to the problematic portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik’s Blonde, and even Tàr’s hyperrealism bears resemblance to the genre and was mistaken by many as a biopic. Last year’s nominations followed a similar pattern with King Richard earning an Oscar for Will Smith (famously) for his portrayal of Serena Williams and Venus Williams’ father; Spencer was applauded for its fictional imagination of Princess Diana’s Christmas while Jessica Chastain took home an Oscar for Best Actress for The Eyes of Tammy Faye. According to Slash Film, biographical films compose almost a quarter of the 581 films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars over its history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2a9cedc9-df26-497f-839e-f6848075910d/biopic+2.png Features - Why Does Hollywood Keep Making Biopics? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/who-needs-art-archivism-when-we-have-instagram monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55bf7552-b70b-463b-9dbc-13f977546135/archive+2.png Features - Who Needs Art Archivism When We Have Instagram? Caught within the matrix of the Instagram algorithm, searching for inspiration, it is easy to lose yourself. Sometimes, while scrolling past four identical pictures of Kate moss holding a cigarette, shots of ballet pumps paired with legwarmers, or bleached eyebrows, it is hard to feel fulfilled. The internet is a lawless wild west when it comes to image dating; such aforementioned images whip around the theoretical high school cafeteria, becoming the inspo for aesthetic-orientated cults; heroin chic, ballet-core, fairy-core, Y2K, whimsy gothic, lolita-core: ad infinitum. In Techo-capitalism, the past appears flattened - trends from disparate periods emerge simultaneously, easily accessible through the Instagram algorithm. In his essay The Archival impulse, Hal Foster describes how the function of the archive has mutated alongside the age of digital information. As information becomes increasingly commodity-orientated, relating solely to the production of capital, the archive concedes to the database. But the archive is, by definition, an accumulation of historical records or materials. The Instagram archivist preserves historical moments rather than data, which seems alien in an app like Instagram. In an age preoccupied with nostalgia, these new online libraries present a new and refreshing mode of engaging with a history that breaks from the disjointed perspective afforded through social media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/724c0ff3-e023-4131-a285-2171f764e351/archive+1.png Features - Who Needs Art Archivism When We Have Instagram? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-myth-of-gay-good-taste monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0dc27e7f-97be-4810-97ad-78d4b72adb96/1+b+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Myth of Gay Good Taste I was scrolling through Instagram on my phone the other day when I saw an article about Rebecca Black’s new music, and her coming out story. My initial reaction was very uncharitable, something along the lines of “Really? Do we need another ambiguously unlabelled not-straight star? Aren’t there enough?”, but after a few seconds of contemplation I was horrified at myself for having such a conservative thought. How could I be so unfeeling, so unsupportive? Was it that I was becoming tired, uninterested, jaded (who, me? never)? I have always loved Rebecca Black (ironically), from her tween hit Friday - which me and my friends used to listen to in student houses whilst drinking vodkat before going to the gay club - to her attempt to reclaim her narrative in the 2014 song Saturday (which, gleefully, is even more cringe-inducing, full of YouTube stars you have definitely forgotten about, highly recommend watching the video now.) I think she’s very fun, so why did I deem her relatively new queer identity as bothersome or overplayed? I think the answer lies in how we as queer people consume media and the ways in which that has changed in the last decade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aca0ec41-d1ff-4714-a360-27c7fb46ed60/2+b+copy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Myth of Gay Good Taste - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/on-hollywoods-rebirth-of-the-silver-vixen monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e3e048b-ccc0-4390-a2b6-f6691d3b60ea/vixen+1.png Features - On Showbiz’s Rebirth of the ‘Silver Vixen’ If you’ve ever been fond of the occasional period drama, you’ll know that the shelf life of a woman in her prime was a short one back in the day. Even though I'm not 27 yet, already I’ve got no money and no prospects. I truly hope I’m not a burden to my parents but regardless, I’m definitely frightened. For centuries, once a woman had past her peak, she might as well keel over then and there, and the Hollywood canon has made little effort to change this. Sexism in the industry has never been a mystery and aligns itself with ageism: It comes as no surprise that while Brad Pitt is able to get gigs that still pass him off as a heart throb, even after last year’s allegations of abuse, on-screen legends like Geena Davis haven’t seen a leading role since the 90s. That said, this year’s cocktail of distinguished talent leans so much more to the older woman, it’s almost nostalgic. I’m going feral for the Jennifer Coolidge renaissance; Jamie Lee Curtis is finally getting her dues and Angela Bassett did the thing.

I was away with my best friend at the time, who had recently got her first boyfriend which to any teenage girl in the early 2010s, was both the most important thing in the whole world and the only thing that made you of any worth: “They say that the world was built for two”. Boyfriend-less myself and watching her fall away from me, I lived vicariously through the album’s portrayal of the live-fast die-young, All-American relationship as I experienced feeling truly alone for the first time. I obsessively watched the National Anthem music video over and over, in love with Del Rey as both Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy as well as A$AP Rocky’s John F. Kennedy, imagining what it would be like to be the coolest. Ten years on, I’m now twenty-one, and bringing up her latest single A&W to anyone that will listen. I eagerly await Lana Del Rey’s ninth studio album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, due for release imminently. As the album release has approached, I’ve been reflecting upon the role she has played not only in my life over the last decade, but in shaping the cultural landscape of the 2010s. I’ve wondered why I have always salivated at the prospect of a new record from her. What is it about Del Rey that has afforded her such a prolific, successful, and influential career, as well as such a dedicated following? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/defde1c9-0d33-47d3-8d0f-da405eff241f/lana+2.png Features - The Cult of Lana Del Rey - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-under-the-skin-taught-me-about-being-a-woman monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/76d093e5-7ec5-4b5a-8bcf-1a8c38cdbe46/under%2Bskin%2B1.png Features - What Under The Skin Taught Me About Being a Woman It has been ten years since 2013 and the premiere screening of Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin at the Telluride film festival. In Glazer’s critically celebrated (though commercially ignored) film, an alien named Laura, played by Scarlett Johansson, drives around the streets of Glasgow to prey on men. While it’s the striking scenes of men meeting their demise in an oily abyss that have earned Under the Skin the most acclaim, what’s stuck with me about Glazer’s film a whole decade later is the film’s final moments: Laura, after days of coming to terms with what it means to inhabit the human female form, is sexually assaulted then brutally murdered. With this, Under the Skin makes the tragic assertion that womanhood is defined by the affliction of male violence. To be a woman is to suffer: it’s a notion that is, unfortunately, not that surprising. It does make for a depressing sentiment though. I’ll admit, while they might not have lingered in my memory as much as the film’s solemn conclusion, Under the Skin is peppered with other, slightly less dismal ideas around what it means to be a woman. Given the conventional power hierarchies associated with the “white van man”, for instance, the film’s repeated sequences of Laura luring unsuspecting men in her own vehicle is a clear subversion. In fact, it often verges on being somewhat comical. As the camera mimics Laura’s gaze, indistinctly grazing over hordes of her potential prey, men are no longer teeming with the violent potential that most women have learnt to fear. In the world of Under the Skin, it’s women that should be feared instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfa4e251-449c-4f27-ac4f-9853e17a02a1/under+the+skin+2.png Features - What Under The Skin Taught Me About Being a Woman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/come-on-lavinia-co-ops-queer-london-tour-with-us monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d42e5019-5d36-42f0-a6a3-9b8f89eb2177/coop%2B%281%29.png Features - Come On Lavinia Co-Op’s Queer London Tour with Us Lavinia Co-Op continues to make an indelible mark on underground performance scenes across the globe. From performing with the notorious Street Theatre group The Bloolips in the 70s, to becoming a Susanne Bartsch favourite in 90s New York and continuing to work with contemporary East London collectives today, Lavinia’s career is unstoppably radical. In collaboration with Vogue Fabrics London, the Hackney-born icon goes back to her roots. A new film, produced by Lyall Hakaria and edited by Alex Matarxia, follows Lavinia erratically guiding a gaggle of trendy queers round her home streets of East London. Recollections of messy nights and cruising are speckled through her detailed descriptions of local family businesses and Vaudeville theatres long lost to decades of gentrification. Call me a cynic, but there is a wry irony to Lavinia telling these stories to a group of neon-fur clad, septum-pierced, tote-bagged East London queers — the type, myself included, who have benefitted from investment that has displaced its working-class history. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ice-crimes-is-requesting-a-video-call monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4dd6d5a0-4c56-4e88-a660-93c0981cbb3c/ice%2Bcrimes%2B1.png Features - Ice Crimes is Requesting a Video Call There is a palpable nostalgia for the early days of the internet: Tumblr, MSN Messenger, Vaporwave.

Every interview has the same format - bait questions proposed to formulate a potential Viral Moment for TikTok. This is where Iman Muse aka Ice Crimes comes in. A Somali-American journalist, DJ, programmer, music manager, producer and now a world class interviewer. Her YouTube series, The Ice Crimes Show, showcases Muse interviewing eclectic musicians from every corner of the world. It’s a refreshing change from the same old formulaic questions and answers. In her own words: “The Ice Crimes Show is a curated music discovery program and interview show. Each episode highlights an artist, a subculture, an aesthetic.” The episodes are spliced with video clips contextualising the conversations and Muse uses green screen to elevate the interview experience to emulate a chat room.

For Sex and Rage, my collective which exists to resist stigma and shame through sex education, we are embracing the idea of erotic equity. Inspired by Shakedown, the radical documentary by Leila Weinraub which documents a Los Angeles lesbian strip club in the early 2000s, we began this event to support lesbian and bisexual sex workers by providing a safe, sensual and creative environment where we can encourage lesbian and bisexual women, trans-masc and non-binary people to explore our desires in a space where what turns us on is not just a mere afterthought or a gratuitous side dish for lecherous men, but the very centre of our collective experience. Granting ourselves erotic equity means acknowledging the value, and validity, of our sexuality, and by giving ourselves the space to explore the full breadth of these desires, means that we are ever closer to something that looks like freedom. When it comes to divisive issues in feminism, the question of sex takes a large slice of the proverbial cake. For that matter, and to extend the dessert metaphor, talking about desire in its more subversive forms is a little bit like our wariness of baked goods; delicious, decadent and often demonised by so-called experts who undermine the health benefits of the occasional indulgence. In the same way the culture of culinary puritanism encourages us to feel bad when we reach for our favourite sweet treats, so do many social puritans deny the positive benefits of discussing and engaging with how we position ourselves (pun intended) within not just our personal practices of sexual pleasure, but our political and economic responses to any behaviour that is considered deviant or oppressive. The thing is, desire shapes our lives in many complex and fundamental ways that it can, and should, be seen as essential to academic, political and embodied liberatory practices, on both a grassroots and institutional levels. Pleasure, whether derived from food or from sex, tells us a lot about society, and a lot about our freedom. Those who have access to the fulfilment of their erotic liberties, free from personal shame and public persecution, typically tend to be those who, in general, have more power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92778e90-3e09-4756-8bb8-950d04f2cbd9/qwc3.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: For International Women’s Day We Demand Erotic Equity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/drop-dead-gorgeous-the-extreme-glamour-and-ultra-femininity-of-the-cinematic-evil-woman monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eef46826-a259-4ef8-9e1f-19140189a7ae/evil%2Bwomen%2B1.png Features - Drop Dead Gorgeous: The Extreme Glamour and Ultra-Femininity of the Cinematic Evil Woman Slender fingers with long nails, siren eyes and a dark lip, stocking and suspender-clad legs, sheer and suggestive negligee, dramatic eyewear and phallic cigarette holders; this is the uniform of the cinematic Evil Woman.

Take a walk through a bookshop today and you will most likely notice the ever-increasing collection of Greek mythology retellings that are littering the shelves. Titles like A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes, Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, or The Women of Troy by Pat Barker are some of the feminist takes on these classic stories, and among the bestsellers in a genre that appears to be ever-growing. However, more and more readers are starting to voice frustration at what is beginning to feel like an over-saturation of mythology retellings in the book market. Madeline Miller’s Circe, the eagerly awaited follow-up to her wildly successful The Song of Achilles, retelling the story of the witch Circe who features all too briefly in The Odyssey by Homer, arguably started this trend in publishing. And I say trend in publishing, not writing, for a reason. Retellings of classic stories, particularly Greek myth in this case, have always happened. Ursula K LeGuin published Lavinia in 2008 (although this is based on Roman rather than Greek mythology), Margaret Atwood The Penelopiad in 2005, and Christa Wolf released Medea in 1996. Hell, James Joyce wrote Ulysses in 1920 and Shakespeare wrote Troilus and Cressida in 1602. This is not a new genre, and for good reason - these stories are captivating, exciting, and have characters that have stood the test of millennia. But this recent move from publishers to relentlessly push these retold narratives is starting to grate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc7933d5-733b-41b9-9cf8-dd3d7ddab34e/myth%2B1.png Features - Why Are So Many New Books Feminist Retellings of Greek Myths? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-dread-of-being-a-teenager-in-disabled-toilets monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04523a10-d9f3-4912-a1be-3f732b9eaa8e/bathroom%2B1.png Features - The Dread of Being a Teenager in Disabled Toilets When I was fifteen, I got yelled at for using the disabled toilets at a train station cafe. All colour drained from my face as I was publicly reprimanded for being in there for too long, that I was taking up valuable space for people in need, that it was a sanctuary that I’d obstructed for ten whole minutes. It was an ordeal that left me petrified. I remember trying to stare down at my battered school shoes to avoid her gaze, only to have my head snatched back up by her curt tone slicing through the air, telling me to raise my chin and take the wrap for the pain I’d caused her.

Whilst Pamela has been a beauty icon her whole life, it was the announcement of Hulu series Pam & Tommy that first led to a massive increase in 90s Pamela inspo pictures, initially simply side-by-sided with stills of Lily James on set. It was then reported that not only was the Seth Rogen series specifically not sanctioned by Pamela, but that she found its production extremely distressing, starting a new conversation about a woman who was mocked and reviled during the 90s and 2000s and who, shock horror, on retrospective examination appears to have been thoroughly mistreated. This new awareness of Pamela’s story, the release of her own autobiography and documentary, alongside fashion’s seemingly never-abating obsession with 90s and 2000s nostalgia references, has created an endless appetite for the look with which she is synonymous. Gunmetal smokey eyes, frosted lips outlined in brown and that pencil thin arched brow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2297ac4a-726f-40b5-aaa2-dabfddd65165/pam%2B1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Pamela Anderson’s Beauty Evolution Reminds Us of the Power of Image - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/eat-pray-ai-can-we-really-find-love-through-chatbots monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e72df5ac-d802-422e-8a37-2ad181f760fd/ai%2B2.png Features - Eat, Pray, AI: Can We Really Find Love Through Chatbots? Remember that Black Mirror episode, ‘Be Right Back’? Boy and girl fall in love, boy dies in tragic accident, girl uploads boy's entire consciousness into a scarily realistic android clone of him. Classic love story. Remember it now? Great, let’s talk about AI and self-fulfilling prophecies. Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days, used by researchers, students, and the layman internet user alike. Since its invention in 1956, AI has become easier and easier for the everyday person to get a hold of it. Just think of ChatGPT, an AI powered chatbot that’s designed to generate human-like text conversations. With its massive and powerful language model, plus its easy-to-use interface, it’s no surprise that it has become everyone’s favourite AI tool. Since its release last November, ChatGPT has helped millions of people write cover letters, come up with fitness plans, and even generate the perfect Tinder bio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69dab69b-884a-4e49-84e6-d1786670020e/ai%2B1.png Features - Eat, Pray, AI: Can We Really Find Love Through Chatbots? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-alice-guy-blach-made-the-first-narrative-film monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc47bda0-1d97-4503-a433-4d841eea58d1/alice%2B1.png Features - Film Fatale: Alice Guy-Blaché Made The First Narrative Film Who invited the movie camera? Who made the first film? Thomas Edison had something to do with it, Louis Le Prince… the Lumière brothers maybe. The invention of the device is one thing, but then who made the first film? And what constitutes a film? Filming passers by for the first time in history is of course revolutionary, but it’s not really a film. It has to be a narrative story then, the first time humans began to piece together the elements that would result in what we have today in all its horrors and glory. Alice Guy-Blaché was a name I’d never heard before 2018, and I was extremely confused as to why that was. I’d never delved into the history of how film began before that really, but still, there were so many times, so many documentaries, where the subject would come up and the screen would be filled by the Lumière brothers and Méliès. No mention of Blaché, who started a film production company in 1910; The company was called Solax and it was the biggest pre-Hollywood production company in existence. It shouldn’t be so surprising, but it is with the never ending conversation of the bleak amount of women filmmakers nominated for awards. (Although these award ceremonies shouldn't hold as much importance as they do.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2554f6c5-2b54-473d-ad96-06d91e68bb5d/alice%2B2.png Features - Film Fatale: Alice Guy-Blaché Made The First Narrative Film - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sinad-odwyer-is-raising-the-bar-on-what-inclusive-fashion-truly-entails monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/614394a9-7b88-4ad1-9d3b-59170598991c/sinead%2B1.png Features - Sinéad O’Dwyer is Raising the Bar on What Inclusive Fashion Truly Entails Do you know how hard it is to sit a pleated skirt on a wide hip without it fanning out? Have you wondered why shirts always gape between buttons when the wearer has a big bust? For Sinéad O’Dwyer, these intricacies in tailoring for different body shapes are more than just a consideration, but an ethos for her eponymous brand. Instead of releasing a separate plus size clothing line or positioning Sinéad O’Dwyer as a plus size brand, the Irish designer has made a point of proving what inclusivity in fashion could - and should - mean. Speaking with Gina Tonic before her LFW show last Friday, the pair discussed drawing inspirations from family, romanticised teenage years and fighting to change industry standards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e98a3103-cdde-4735-adb2-7c95c2db602d/sinead%2B2.png Features - Sinéad O’Dwyer is Raising the Bar on What Inclusive Fashion Truly Entails - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/stylist-extraordinaire-patricia-field-pens-her-own-rebellious-story-in-pat-in-the-city monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ec6c0c0-ca24-42fc-a954-96e95bf7e02f/field%2B1.png Features - Stylist Extraordinaire Patricia Field Pens Her Own Rebellious Story in Pat in the City There’s a certain generation who knows Patricia Field from her former eponymous Eighth Street boutique in New York City’s Manhattan, which provided a safe haven to a legion of fashion followers — ranging from the transgender community, to rap and hip hop stars, to 90s club kids; from Lenny Kravitz to socialites like Paris Hilton to downtown legends like Patti Smith and Amanda Lepore. And then there’s a generation who knows her as one of the most famous stylists walking the Earth today: the one who made a sonic boom when the HBO series, Sex and the City landed on cable television in 1998. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) strolled the streets—all smiles and in awe of the inspiring metropolis during the opening credits—in one of the most character-revealing outfits: the harmonic coupling of a fitted tank top and a white, fluffy tutu (purchased in Midtown for $5 and buried in a bin of other discounted garments) and Field’s genius was recognised on a global scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eadf444e-05d6-4021-a61d-0616b04be5bd/field%2B2.png Features - Stylist Extraordinaire Patricia Field Pens Her Own Rebellious Story in Pat in the City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/briana-middleton-on-how-to-prepare-for-starring-in-a-psychological-thriller monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f44979bc-cfd9-4479-a917-961b3cd846d1/briana%2B1.png Features - Briana Middleton on How to Prepare for Starring in a Psychological Thriller The setting of my interview with Briana Middleton is a hotel in the ever chaotic Piccadilly Circus. The frenzied nature of the crowds here are perfectly reminiscent of my emotions watching Sharper; a neo-noir psychological thriller with a plethora of plot twists. This is a film that constantly leaves you guessing what the truth within the narrative really is, who to trust and who’s in the right or the wrong. Set in New York City, it’s an epic woven tapestry of questionable characters, betrayal, hope and lust, especially intertwined with money. Briana plays one of Sharper’s main characters. Opening the film with what’s expected to play out as a love story, however is turned on its head as the film descends into its ruthless abyss of manipulation and lies.

Not in a cheesy, sadboy, 2012 Avril Lavigne kind of way. It's about observing, noticing and questioning societies but not being able to function as part of them. It's about the constant state of non belonging and being a witness rather than a participant. It's about undiagnosed disorders and neurodivergences. I am pulling from my own experience as a queer immigrant with severe anxiety and delusional dreams. This paralysing fear of embarassing oneself manifests itself at the same time with this painful desire to belong and merge with the rest of the world. All you can do sometimes is just stand in front of your window watching. Observing. Internalising. Analysing. Copying patterns. Imitating gestures. Smiles. Ways of talking. Surveilling. Not being surveilled. Barely being acknowledged at all. The eyes become CCTVs, the mind becomes emotion, emotions become absurd. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f7d95825-7d54-4d59-91f4-911943b66c73/6.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7fb832fe-5ef0-4df9-8633-6a1d93a3b6bd/8+%282%29.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7043bc2a-13cd-4687-adfe-a4a82cbebe07/3+%281%29.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/855c415d-9a5b-4094-b5ad-5dc5d6771c9c/7+%282%29.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4802b8b1-f164-4cca-b83a-83f6f0fdc306/1-1.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b622e88e-170c-4a2c-8d14-a3ec5918eff8/2.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0b18fe7-e603-4d08-9f71-1543f700a24f/5+%281%29.jpg Features - Surveillance State is Watching the World Go By - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-joys-of-falling-in-platonic-love monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2f6285ac-ea1a-4388-97c2-a774531ed04e/platonic%2B1.png Features - The Joys of Falling in Platonic Love - Make it stand out When I first moved to London a little over half a year ago and was romanticising the image of my first great love in the city, it’s a solid assumption to make that my new flatmate wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Life is constantly surprising us. I was in somewhat of a rush to find a new place to live, a rough few months in my previous city meaning I was keen to have a change of scene as quickly as possible. Amid the raging hellscape that is the London renting crisis, finding out that living in the flat that I was viewing was someone I had been Instagram friends with for years (as a result of us both being book bloggers) felt too good to be true. We hadn’t spoken too much on Instagram prior, only responding to the occasional story and commenting on the odd post. We decided to grab lunch on my first weekend in the flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6840c862-7b4a-4337-ab4c-1e7037213597/platonic%2B2.png Features - The Joys of Falling in Platonic Love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-outsiders-class-politics-and-making-monsters-in-you monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7c957ca4-fca2-4f2d-ad4e-bc05391b09bb/you%2B1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Outsiders, Class Politics, and Making Monsters in You The central premise of You - in which Joe Goldberg a certified Nice Guy and Romantic goes just a little overboard in pursuing the objects of his desire - only works because Joe is hot and charismatic. The show’s narration, often punctuated with a “hello you” that’s aimed as much at the audience as it is the character Joe is thinking about, is magnetic and funny. You laugh with Joe, not at him. For all of his darkness, there’s just enough sympathy and tragedy in his backstory for the kind of person that makes horny fancams of TV villains to go “I can fix him.” But more than that, Joe Goldberg is an outsider. The worlds inhabited by the women that he becomes obsessed with couldn’t be further away from the simple, less well-off life that Joe himself so often lives. Whether Joe is in New York, the suburbs, or now London, there are always hipsters for him to mock and haughty heiresses - from Peach Salinger in season one, all the way to the “royal adjacent” Malcolm. Each season has Joe become more of an outsider, so much so that in season four, he’s in a new country and surrounded by haughty artists, aristocratic party girls, and blue-blooded misogynists. This gallery of rogues ripped straight out of the 1% are not only easy characters for Joe to mock, they keep him and the audience on the same page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52e7c204-deef-4a40-bc25-75df31cd5c19/you+2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Outsiders, Class Politics, and Making Monsters in You - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/art-for-arts-sake-how-hustle-culture-is-ruining-creativity monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f3dcdb99-8d16-4fc9-948e-f4fed351a765/art%2B1.png Features - Art For Art’s Sake: How Hustle Culture is Ruining Creativity Theodore Dreiser defined art as “the stored honey of the human soul”. It is that which encompasses so many disciplines and serves so many purposes that it is almost a concept too imposing even to define. Art and the human experience are so intimately intwined, going back to at least 45,500 years ago, when the oldest known cave painting was created. It can act as a form of expression, a mode of dialogue between thoughts and materiality that are perhaps otherwise difficult to communicate. It can be a way through which human skill and prowess can be illustrated. It can act as a creative activity that is fun to do and affords the artist a means to unwind. Art is multifaceted in its ability be deep and meaningful as easily as being fun and whimsical. The possibilities of what creating can achieve are truly endless. Unfortunately, however, art is often reduced to what its value is, what can be obtained in return for it. But value is a tricky word. It has a variety of meanings and intimations, but I certainly think it is telling that the first three synonyms that Microsoft Word generates for “value” are “worth”, “price”, and “cost”. It’s easy to underestimate the ease with which capitalism weasels its way into our brains, affecting how we perceive not only everything around us but also ourselves. It is an insatiable beast, one constantly demanding to be fed. Capitalism compels us to use every waking hour productively, posing a problem for artists who wish to create purely for pleasure. If you’re making something and not monetising it, then what’s the point of making it? Wasted labour! our hijacked brains scream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5a380a36-16d2-48e7-bb39-7ee404f4cecc/art%2B2.png Features - Art For Art’s Sake: How Hustle Culture is Ruining Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-stardoll-shaped-a-generation-of-queer-kids monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34d8d540-ff00-484a-a3c1-3d9ac3241427/stardoll%2B1.png Features - How Stardoll Shaped a Generation of Queer Kids ‘Does playing with dolls make you trans’ I erratically google on a Thursday night as I find myself reflecting on my gender journey and wondering whether my love for sissy games growing up was instrumental in my transness. Despite my search holding the tone of a concerned parent questioning at what point they should be alarmed by their child’s gender defiance, the answers fascinate me.

Puriteens on Twitter are requesting that TV shows should not have sex scenes in them, to ensure that nobody has to feel uncomfortable ever again. The Hays Code has entered the chat. As Raquel S Benedict puts it, “Everyone is beautiful and no one is horny.” Jordan Firstman has come to denounce it all. Firstman’s first lead role is a heightened version of himself, an influencer with a penchant for partying, in Sebastián Silva’s latest film Rotting in the Sun. The movie, which just premiered at Sundance Film Festival, has it all: Sex, drugs, and lots and lots of gratuitous male nudity. Finally a film that’s not afraid to depict sex in all its glorious form. Real sex!

I've discovered it can't be avoided, especially when you live in a flat with 20-somethings deeply concerned about the human condition, love, and bell hooks. It also can't be avoided when you've spent a whole term at university pouring over the work of feminist and queer artists that have managed to capture vulnerability, excitement and the political possibilities of the erotic in their medium of choice. In October of 2022, I saw the Carolee Schneemann retrospective at the Barbican titled Body Politics, which introduced me to an artist whose visual and performance work pre-empted new ways of thinking about equity in sexual relations, centring herself as the subject, not the object of the male gaze. A couple of weeks later, I shed a few tears at a Julia Jacklin gig when she belted out the lyrics to "Ignore Tenderness". A powerful song that contemplates how difficult our pursuit of pleasure can be in a world that dictates what sex and intimacy should look like. More recently, I had the privilege of watching Laura Poitras's documentary All The Beauty and The Bloodshed, which followed Nan Goldin's artistic pursuits alongside her takedown of the Sacklers who are responsible for the opioid crisis. The slideshows of her photography from the 1970s and 1980s, especially those that were part of her series The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, were pregnant with emotion and a sort of communal intimacy which feels defunct now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bf8d8af-5e31-46ae-b175-0b978a80763c/zara%2B1+%281%29.png Features - Art Rookie: Sense and Sensuality, Legitimising Erotica in Art - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/zhong-xian-on-the-surrealism-of-animation monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fea13e2e-5de1-4650-b3cd-a5fee071f5ff/zhong%2B1.png Features - Zhong Xian on the Surrealism of Animation With her fluid and authentic style, Zhong Xian is a London and Taipei based animator showing you can create touching and engaging stories through simple forms.

Many television shows, just in the last year, have made facing and overcoming adversity the centre point of their plot. Yet a trend has progressed that is hard to miss if you're a Black audience member: These shows that are supposedly a commentary on diversity and inclusion are expressly refraining from discussing anti-Black discrimination specifically, while simultaneously showing graphic racism or brutality towards their Black characters. In Wednesday, a show revolving around the maltreatment of magical outcasts (an obvious allegory for our current world) introduces the three most prominent Black characters as the show’s antagonists. Bianca is the mean-spirited jealous ex-girlfriend, Lucas is the ‘normie’ that discriminates against the outcasts, and Lucas’ dad is the corrupt Mayor Noble Walker. The decision to specifically introduce these characters as villainous further perpetuates the already established racist notion that Blackness is equatable to evil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9c3a5ee-dba8-4404-8f60-0f52d618bca5/tv%2B2.png Features - Why Won’t Television Say the Word Black - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/feel-the-burn-is-the-editorial-interrogating-heat-wave-lovers monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/45a869aa-f4dd-4a62-a0cb-b02c1aa6ecde/heatwave-63.jpg Features - Feel the Burn is the Editorial Interrogating Heat Wave Lovers blissfully basking brits flocking to the beaches, burnt bits, fish and chips, ice-cream running down sticky fingers, tinnies in the park, staying out till dark, bored boys sat at bus stops. sweaty mums carrying crying babies, service workers smoking roll ups out back, bikini waxes, sweat patches, beer bellies hanging over. lovers lounging under trees, nos canisters fill the streets, body builders flexing muscles, sweat dripping down their lips while the sun beats down.

And ever since it was first aired, the new take on the Scooby-Doo Gang has caused havoc on all things teen related. From snarky innuendos about the #MeToo Movement to incredibly unrealistic self-protection gym classes— the show figures out a way to get worse over time. Yet, the part that really deserves a deeper analysis, may be Kaling’s need to make her representations of women of colour such a negative portrayal. Kaling, the creator of Sex Lives of College Girls, The Mindy Project, and Never Have I Ever has often created content centering young Indian girls at the forefront. That sentence alone proves to be something empowering, an applause-worthy testimony as the entertainment industry has always prioritised the ever-so-flowing opened mouths of white cis-hetero men (and their nepo-baby officiates). Nonetheless, as we expand on that content and the characterisations of these protagonists of colour, I’m often left gutted by what they mean for young girls on an entire spectrum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab1fe359-e9fb-4ed4-b004-76f239108457/mindy%2B2.png Features - We Need to Talk About Mindy Kaling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glmes-guide-to-cheap-glamour monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0b3789e-0184-4877-a343-21a06e436657/IMG_2283.jfif Features - Glüme’s Guide to Cheap Glamour Musician, actress and self confessed Walmart Marilyn, Glüme is as glam as they come.

Read on for tips and tricks on giving yourself over to absolute glamour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31322314-bcd1-4f19-97f6-7cf8342635ce/IMG_2218.jfif Features - Glüme’s Guide to Cheap Glamour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d9c09682-eb08-49ce-95a8-e7e82a5ea116/IMG_323.jpg Features - Glüme’s Guide to Cheap Glamour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/467f32aa-dc2f-42a7-898c-5ce2749d2c31/IMG_2284.jfif Features - Glüme’s Guide to Cheap Glamour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/i-thought-i-was-spiritual-really-i-was-an-atheist-practising-witchcraft monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1ebf00f6-14fa-4e41-beee-5fbac1eee31e/witch%2B1.png Features - I thought I Was Spiritual, Really I Was an Atheist Practising Witchcraft Broke, sick and in the middle of the pandemic, I bought a course on practical magick. A serious illness left me defeated and this was the only logical response remaining to my life circumstances. Doctors could not tell me what was wrong or simply refused to believe I was ill. I raged against the fact that at 25, my body had stopped working. This course promised I could get rich really quickly as well as get everything else I ever desired. To me money meant I could heal myself. The NHS had very little treatment options for my illness and I wanted to fully heal through holistic treatment, this was going to be expensive. Magick is powerful, seductive and very fucking real. It is used to manifest results in the real world like attaining love, sex, money and power. The method behind it says that to achieve results, you must unite your conscious and unconscious desires. Our unconscious desires are our shadow: everything we have repressed in ourselves since birth. Our conscious desires are the dreams we claim; ie “I want a loving partner, and a well paid job.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4aa46e7a-fa72-40fb-bc5b-1c08aba09f18/witch%2B2.png Features - I thought I Was Spiritual, Really I Was an Atheist Practising Witchcraft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/heartbreak-and-heterofatalism-when-misandry-affects-those-its-not-meant-to monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ad58ee1b-9004-48c9-b7fe-b91704e12364/heartbreak%2B1.png Features - Heartbreak and Heterofatalism, When Misandry Affects Those It's Not Meant To It’s not the first morning I’ve woken up and checked my phone with anxious optimism only to be met with a sinking realisation that… No. He still has not texted me back. I sit with that feeling of hurt and rejection for a while as my mind replays every conversation we had, scanning for where I must have said the wrong thing. Just like Tom to Summer at the ending of 500 Days of Summer, I overanalyse every look he gave me: Was it then? Was that the moment he lost interest in me? With hours of 2000s rom-coms in my repertoire, I start to reflect on myself: I just don’t get it… I’m obviously attractive enough or he wouldn’t have slept with me, I’m intelligent and funny but not to the extent it would intimidate or overshadow him, I have enough trauma that makes me good in bed, but not so much that he would have got spooked… Why wasn’t I enough for him? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/910fd075-ba89-4a37-a144-20032ec69f00/heartbreak%2B2.png Features - Heartbreak and Heterofatalism, When Misandry Affects Those It's Not Meant To - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-mugler-fw-97-and-why-couture-needs-to-be-separate-from-reality monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d3eaccf-b560-42ff-b88c-f8b49271d005/beauty%2B2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Mugler FW 97 and Why Couture Needs to be Separate from Reality The Siberian supermodel Irina Pantaeva appears on the runway, her face powdered down to a luminous soft white. A rich yellow sweeps from the sides of her nose up and over her brow, moving across her lid via hot orangey reds into a clean bright fuchsia reaching high at her temples and draping into her cheek. Her natural brows are replaced by branching black lines that follow the same dramatic angle as her cheek bones. They have the feeling of something both severe and organic, the diagonal flick of a calligraphy pen directly from the bridge of her nose up to her forehead. Her eyelid is drawn in the same precise pitch black extending horizontally out to her hairline where it also branches into two points. A third line is created by a heavy straight lash extension. Irina’s lips are angular, her cupid's bow pointed. A lacquered black with a deep red interior. The look feels part 80s club kid part insect like creature. Manfred Thierry Mugler really pioneered the couture show as theatre during the 80s and 90s. His elaborate shows owed nothing to an idea of wearability or commercial viability but instead were pure decadent fantasy, showing up to 300 looks and running for up to an hour long. By 1997 the house of Mugler was both reaching its peak creatively - Les Insectes is often considered one the best examples of Mugler at the height of his power - and sadly starting its decline. Mugler stepped back just a few years later in 2001 and the house of Mugler itself was shuttered in 2003. Of his departure the designer would say “Fashion was a very emotional and artistic vehicle in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, the look was extremely important. There were real stakes, but it’s not like that anymore.” Mugler felt his creativity was unable to survive the increasing commercial pressures of the industry. However the work of Manfred Thierry Mugler has hardly faded from the forefront of fashion culture in the years since and right up to his recent death in 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a9645948-68fb-4e8f-94fc-cbf6eeb46091/beauty%2B1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Mugler FW 97 and Why Couture Needs to be Separate from Reality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-transcendence-of-girlhood monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab8a4d49-058a-4e3d-aa8a-9f3d058046d8/AlexMcKelley_WorkFromHome.jpg Features - The Transcendence of Girlhood Using a mix of 3D softwares and photography knowledge, my works' aim to transport us to other realms where we get to peek into a variety of characters' worlds as they go about the relatable mundanities of day-to-day life.

I hadn’t had much say over which therapist I would speak to; I’d been on an NHS waiting list for 18 months before I had been offered a chance to have ten sessions of online CBT therapy. Now I was sitting in my living room, laptop balancing on the arm of the sofa, whilst the person who was supposed to be talking me through my past traumas and teaching me methods and skills for dealing with extreme anxiety explained the ins and outs of a job search engine. She reassured me that there was all sorts of jobs out there, I could try my hand at anything. To her any other job was acceptable, but sex work was too close to the bone, not an acceptable role for someone with experience of childhood sexual trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0076447-427a-4678-bf0b-f08510999c91/qwc%2B2%2B%282%29.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Sex Worker Prejudice in the National Health Service - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-party-girl-and-the-existentialism-of-your-early-20s monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0728990c-098a-4cb3-af0d-08a0d936bba4/party%2Bgirl%2B1.png Features - Film Fatale: Party Girl and the Existentialism of Your Early 20’s Sober January hits and you’re slumped on the ground watching the raindrops drizzle down your window, a window that is breeding mould around it at that, and you take a deep breath of damp air.

It’s a fresh take on queerness on screen - a break from some of the tragic depictions of queerness we see in mainstream film and TV and instead a story that’s celebrating the unique experiences of transmasculine people, with a side of hyperpop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/565e7b3d-a8cf-4bcf-9ee9-604e76757dcd/bros%2Bbefore%2B2.png Features - Bros Before is the Film Adding the Fun Back into Trans Representation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dating-apps-and-the-paradox-of-too-much-choice monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/64774b83-6b80-4717-baf5-cd1c15f4f0db/dating%2B1.png Features - Dating Apps and The Paradox of Too Much Choice Lately I’ve been thinking about the depths of modern dating. Across every digital feed, I stumble across a video or story about how somebody got ghosted by someone they really liked; or another one about how they hooked up with someone in the back of an Uber and forgot to ask for their panties back. After scrolling tirelessly, I’ll even start getting a bit sad, and then I’ll ask myself: Well, why did that person get ghosted, and why didn’t that person get their panties back? Am I just too naive to think people deserve better? Hookup culture, situationships, or whatever you wanna call it, have permeated the dating space for us 20-something year olds and I’m not so sure that I can keep up with all of it. For some reason, I’ve convinced myself that my true love is waiting for me in an aisle of some obscure Barnes and Nobles up north and he’s just waiting for me to catch up to him. I think the voices are starting to get to my head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da7afbe1-6977-4b68-8d7c-c38dc62dedb7/dating%2B2.png Features - Dating Apps and The Paradox of Too Much Choice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/modestycore-a-bimbo-oil-heiresses-story monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7e8b095-ff96-4899-8d2b-f8db597af648/video%2B1.png Features - Modestycore: A Bimbo Oil Heiresses Story “Modestycore” is a video performance piece that explores the politics of sensuality, purity, shame, and self-preservation. It doesn’t work to prove or disprove the values of modesty, it explores the in-between space between revealing and concealing. The video follows the headless heiress of an oil empire. While her headless family extracts resources, ruins ecosystems, and destabilizes local fishing communities, she just wants to talk about her outfits. She pontificates upon her obsession with sexiness and aesthetics. One might call her a bimbo with nuance. Her vanity is her saving grace as it allows her to empathize with others also struggling with how they present to the world. Things become more complicated when we are introduced to her occult object that hosts the soul of ‘“Deadman”, performed by Youtuber DeadManAnimations. Deadman teaches her about code-switching and cloaking through what appears to be snippets of conversations from the trapped man’s life. He touches on topics such as the survival technique of code-switching under settler colonialism and global capitalism. Through these conversations, her ideas about cloaking and modesty are recontextualized. She is, however, still an oil heiress and will never fully understand the power she wields. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shea-coule-cringe-becomes-her monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c82c2dd0-fc68-4e56-b687-d4faa5fdeb68/shea%2Bcoulee%2Bcover%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her After weeks of working around busy schedules, tour rehearsals, and top secret projects, the incredibly booked and blessed Shea Couleé cleared her schedule to sit down with me for a conversation about her upcoming year. This was no mean feat: This call took dozens of emails flying here, there and everywhere, conversations with PR, holidays and festivities to contend with, not to mention the exceedingly busy jet-setting lifestyle of an international superstar. As she cements her reputation as the face of a new generation of queer black beauty, we should prepare ourselves to bow down and worship this divine goddess. Coming off a spectacular run on Rupaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 7 alongside other iconic winners such as Raja and Jinkx Monsoon last year, Shea Couleé is primed to take over the world in 2023. Already a bonafide fashion icon, the first queen to wear real couture on the Drag Race runway, a celebrated mother of Chicago drag, and professional podcastress, there are no ends to Shea’s talents. But the 33 year old has even more to unveil for this upcoming year - including (but not limited to) becoming a series regular in Ironheart, the latest addition to the Marvel cinematic universe and the first drag queen character in the superhero world. A triumph for the multitude of queer fans who find themselves, finally, represented by the legendary comic book studio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6f396f8-9489-45db-babc-2ac07bc0dc59/poly%2B3.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6bd954da-fb90-4f78-bc69-71556a46ac61/shea%2B1.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1392bab-9438-479e-9f6e-16f4d9192a80/shea%2B2.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b75505d-7430-4046-831d-7a31d15160f9/shea%2B1+%281%29.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7882b07a-0e67-40c3-894b-c34dfa142988/shea%2B4.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a580b3e8-de37-4fb6-a989-9a8a7126044f/shea%2B3.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b2c0fb24-2380-46cf-b318-fdbf13361f5b/PolyShea_-29.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d97418c0-9f7a-470c-9682-edf8c5d04680/shea%2B2+%281%29.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/30b4e0d2-c95d-4d6f-80dd-c2ad2fdd010c/PolyShea_-31.png Features - Shea Couleé: Cringe Becomes Her - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-showgirls-and-pulling-back-the-curtain-on-showbiz monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfb80b9b-a269-4b76-8c36-590d85298d2a/cristal%2Bintro.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Showgirls and Pulling Back the Curtain on Showbiz Ever since I’ve been working night shifts, which is about six years now, I have had a New Year’s Eve tradition of cooking myself a really nice pizza and eating it in the office whilst watching one of the greatest films ever made - Showgirls. Widely panned on its release, Paul Verhoeven’s 1995 erotic epic explores Hollywood’s favourite subject; the inner workings of showbiz, the world behind the curtain, backstage drama and the curation of stardom. Some of the most beloved Hollywood films rest on the inspection of its own mythologies, from the multi-generational interpretations of A Star Is Born to the host of celebrity biopics that are dumped on us with increasing frequency, stardom is cinema’s greatest product. How does one become a star? Who were stars before they were stars? What happens when stars cease to be stars? These are all questions Showgirls sets out to explore, and in doing so it joins a long line of exceptional films doing the exact same thing. There are two films I see as being the most influential to Showgirls’ storytelling, and as a triptych they encompass the whole of 20th century American cinema, 42nd Street from 1933, and All About Eve from 1951. All three follow the story of a starry-eyed young protagonist infiltrating the world of showbiz, first in the chorus-line or other small role, and eventually being elevated to star of the show, no matter the cost to her or those around her. They show the difficult nature of breaking into a notoriously intense industry, the sacrifices of those involved and the perseverance and cunning of those looking to rise to the top. In all of them, they show the joy of finally becoming the shining star, the goddess of the stage, but equally how there is always a dark shadow waiting in the wings, a nod to the corruption, ruthless scheming and cruelty that permeate this world. Hollywood’s best movies are about Hollywood, and how showbiz works because that’s what they know best. The constant inclusion of the dark underbelly of the performance world isn’t just a literary trope employed to give a story an arc, its very real and always present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/38116a2c-02b8-4871-a0e3-3212ea647f3f/vegas+%281%29.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Showgirls and Pulling Back the Curtain on Showbiz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/112726a6-b574-4b91-9255-113bf40ce58e/performing+%281%29.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Showgirls and Pulling Back the Curtain on Showbiz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/when-did-celebs-stop-being-mysterious-lifting-the-curtains-on-celebrity-constructs monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9a50a9e2-64c2-44d2-b92a-9b650b994514/celebrity%2B2.png Features - When Did Celebs Stop Being Mysterious? Lifting the Curtains on Celebrity Constructs A photographer friend earns a lucrative living taking editorial-style portraits for her clients’ Instagrams. These clients aren’t creative directors or influencers — not even those of the “niche” variety. She doesn’t operate out of Los Angeles, Miami, or any place known for selling hope to earnest-looking kids. Just the opposite: unassuming, small-town Canada. Nowadays, It doesn’t matter where you are so long as you’re online. The Internet makes stars of girls who dance in their bedrooms. Algorithms create virality, sometimes even fame, and spark hope — almost an electric anticipation — in those earnest-looking kids. I’ve never enlisted a professional to capture my best angle for the perfect post, but I have spent an hour trying to do it myself. The post undoubtedly reaches more people in a day than I interact with in real life over any given month. Social media has made public figures of us all. We fabricate self-narratives for the digital public. Invented identities typically reflect their designated platforms and aid our objectives. The list of Facebook friends includes grandma, so the list of links on your profile includes crochet videos. But your Twitter followers consist of OnlyFans patrons. Or maybe you favour a simplistic self-creation: face-tuning photos and the excessive pondering of witty Insta captions. In the not-so-distant time of 2007, MTV developed The Hills as a spin-off of Laguna Beach. Lauren Conrad, who began in Laguna Beach’s ensemble cast of gorgeous SoCal high school students, was the central protagonist of its spin-off show. The Hills showed Conrad navigating love, her swanky Teen Vogue internship, and fashion school in Los Angeles. Neither Lauren Conrad the person — the megastar — nor the muted glamour of her onscreen life reflects a version of reality viewers that’s relatable to viewers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6173caf8-6324-4764-b017-527db70e6c3a/celebrity%2B2+%281%29.png Features - When Did Celebs Stop Being Mysterious?

When it came to picking something to watch last year, there were endless amounts of shows and movies to choose from in the comedy genre. This very much pertains to the world we lived in, following the absurd hilarity of having a billionaire takeover Twitter, the mocking of nepotism babies, and the acceptance of a pandemic as normal in year two - we need something to laugh at in the midst of the hell fire. In our search for comfort, comedy has always allowed us to escape through jokes and witticisms and accept our flaws as humans, but how easily does that translate to the upper classes? While we have celebrated the working man climbing to the top of the corporate ladder in films like Nine to Five, Working Girl, Office Space, and Sorry to Bother You, recently comedy has taken a darker, wealthier turn, with cutting criticisms of those in the upper classes from an upper-class perspective. On shows like The White Lotus and Succession and in movies like Bodies Bodies Bodies, Triangle of Sadness, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and The Menu, comedy became about laughing at the rich with more energy and less kindness than ever before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/557d140e-72cb-413c-a32e-97548a4b82b6/rich%2Bcomedy%2B2.png Features - Why Are the Wealthy the Focus of Recent Comedy Films? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/art-rookie-trust-funds-and-nepo-babies-how-class-and-austerity-affects-the-art-industry monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc2e8441-8650-4ca5-a0c3-0af6ff0cd5ee/nepo%2B1.png Features - Art Rookie: Trust Funds and Nepo Babies, How Class and Austerity Affects The Art Industry If you were online at all over the last few weeks of 2022, the phrase ‘nepo baby’ has probably made its way into your feed via a viral New York Magazine cover story, reminding you once again that meritocracy is a thinly veiled lie. The cover and extensive reportage of the phenomenon of the nepo baby was a culmination of a year that began with the not-so-shocking news that "the quiet girl from Euphoria" - Maude Apatow - has famous parents and ended with Lily-Rose Depp clapping back at how unfairly journalists have treated her. It was inconceivable to Depp that gilded family ties were now being discussed out in the open, in magazines and TikTok, rather than in hushed tones at casting offices. While celebrities continued to be shocked and hurt by anti-nepotism sentiments, heated discussions on nepotism have been fairly regular over the last few years. Every time a star kid is launched, we groan in disbelief, laughing at how untalented they are or spitefully appreciating that they do have the certain something that makes them shine. These discussions keep going around in circles, and nepo babies keep getting churned out and pushed onto the silver screen (or a Mindy Kaling web series) by their doting parents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42350df6-741e-4452-81b9-5ac0589372fe/nepo%2B2.png Features - Art Rookie: Trust Funds and Nepo Babies, How Class and Austerity Affects The Art Industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-what-to-watch-read-and-listen-to-in-2023 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3d1e607-2610-42ba-91b6-a7e5b1dbd10d/sam%2Bmoore%2B1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What to Watch, Read and Listen To in 2023 I’m not a “new year, new me” kind of person. I’ve never been a big believer in New Year's Resolutions, and the constant exclamations from the stage of the Clapham Grand - where I saw in the end of 2022, and the beginning of 2023 - that this was yet another shit year made me wonder why we bother celebrating the occasion at all. But until we declare an official moratorium on New Year celebrations - surely if we end up with five consecutive years of people saying that the last twelve months were shit then we need to call time on the entire enterprise - then I’ll continue to engage in the one thing I ask of myself that approaches a resolution: my attempts to read more, watch more films, and generally engage with The Culture in a way that extends beyond eye-rolling my way through Twitter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e803c887-b489-4347-b7f5-5c1ea8f20ff1/sam%2Bmoore%2B1+%281%29.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What to Watch, Read and Listen To in 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/otherness-archive-on-the-importance-of-platforming-trans-and-queer-filmmaking monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7eccde57-bd68-43b4-bff6-cb5a6cfb6ef3/otherness%2B1.png Features - Otherness Archive on the Importance of Platforming Trans and Queer Filmmaking Launching January 31st, Otherness Archive goes far beyond chronicling history – it is “a working, living resource”. Borne from London-based artist and filmmaker Sweatmother’s own experiences of being othered, the project “defies the historic censorship of homosexual, trans and racial themes, and instead highlights them as representations of otherness that deserve equal, if not greater, recognition.” By platforming both the forgotten pioneers of cinema and contemporary filmmakers, the archive ensures that “a multiplicity of experiences that exist beyond those solely of white heterosexual men” can be accessed. Below, photographer El Hardwick discusses the purpose of the archive and the importance of recording our own histories with the creator Sweatmother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48af67c8-7e17-4c77-a201-cf064f3014a7/otherness%2B2.png Features - Otherness Archive on the Importance of Platforming Trans and Queer Filmmaking - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-the-appropriation-of-sex-work-culture-in-queer-nightlife-pt-2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3d02842-2597-4823-8998-5774593ab97a/queer%2Bwhore%2Bcollective%2B1.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: The Appropriation of Sex Work Culture in Queer Nightlife Pt. 2 At the moment, screaming sex work is work is trendy. Dressing up in clear heels and skimpy stripper outfits, is #cute. But all too often civilians have no understanding of the weight this work carries. For many the gateway into sex work is poverty, and while making the decision to work in the industry can be life-changing in terms of having access to money, flexible working hours et cetera, it is still a choice that many make out of necessity. With this in mind, it is no wonder that the sex work community are hypervigilant and untrusting of promotors that programme/ profit from stripper culture. On the other hand, you could also argue that nights that this could be a positive move towards normalising sex work in society. I have seen this happen first hand with the company I run, Sexquisite Events. We are a performing arts company platforming sex worker artists across theatre, cabaret and nightlife. We are most known for our monthly cabaret x club night at Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, where we host a line up of eight sex worker artists, and encourage the audience to tip our performers by purchasing fake tipping dollars for £1 on the door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f282c8f-c19f-44aa-8b3c-0c654d5d4bd2/queer%2Bwhore%2Bcollective%2B2.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: The Appropriation of Sex Work Culture in Queer Nightlife Pt. 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-dragula-and-the-joy-of-monstrous-queerness monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92f72141-306f-4da4-93c1-1624269b3623/dragula%2B1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Dragula and the Joy of Monstrous Queerness Drag. Filth. Horror. Glamour. These are the four cardinal points of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, a reality TV that show that, as its title implies, is for monsters, weirdos, and outsiders. The kind of people that John Waters might call minorities within their own minority. There might be a temptation to think of Dragula as simply being The Other Drag Show, as RuPaul’s Drag Race slowly but surely continues its path towards world domination. But to make that assumption does Dragula a disservice; its scrappy, monstrous presence isn’t just a breath of fresh air when it comes to drag on TV, but it offers a suitably grotesque reflection of a wide range of queer identities and ideas that can often get pushed to one side in shows that are more polished, produced, and self-consciously mainstream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5aa4580-ac8a-4c37-afcd-5dc001923376/dragula%2B2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Dragula and the Joy of Monstrous Queerness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-beka-on-authenticity monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1187926-571f-4419-8249-237941a47b85/glad%2Brags%2B2+%281%29.png Features - Glad Rags: BEKA on Authenticity Get your glad rags on gang!

I treated each character as a sort of challenge to see how far I could manipulate and transform my likeness, utilizing knick-knacks, accessories, and garments I've amassed over the years to do so. By toying with the malleability of my appearance + the notion of art as commodity, Trading Cards playfully questions tropes and stereotypes. This is particularly evident in the card for my alien character, who represents the orientalized treatment AAPI bodies receive and are often read through in media and IRL. I want viewers to be forced to confront this abstracted image of the "other" that is, at once, alienated and exoticized. Similarly, I explore ultra-femininity through Amber, hypermasculinity through Antonio, as well as the erotic and queer undertones that emerge as a result of these extremes. Ultimately, through Trading Cards, I ask viewers the following question: How do you construct identity?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff32c159-ea6a-4d77-9c3e-a869a010c15c/Joey%2BBelvedere_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez_2.jfif Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d7fc460-a88c-4ecb-be0e-81b632cc786f/Elle%2BJones_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez_3.jpg Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55ad8830-2c38-4ce6-bf94-8e05faa3fb7d/Elle%2BJones_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez.jpg Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a474cf23-5d81-4547-9642-ca85c923269c/Alien_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez.jpg Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0fc85cd-0ed4-45ec-9a6b-14d524d50aae/Alien_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez_2.jfif Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/315d96ac-c8ba-416a-952e-d59b403efd63/Antonio%2BTex_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez_2.jpg Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19f3552f-ebe7-4792-8c72-b256ea641ee7/Antonio%2BTex_Trading%2BCards_Skyli%2BAlvarez_3.jpg Features - Trading Cards is the Editorial Tackling the Construction of Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-the-enduring-gothic-glamour-of-the-addams-family monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d2a8f3be-ba9f-4493-8f69-36018163fd2b/addams%2Bfamily%2B1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Enduring Gothic Glamour of The Addams Family The Addams family is back on Netflix with an entirely new cast, but of all the versions of the creepy, kooky family that have existed since their invention in 1938, it's Christina Ricci’s Wednesday and Anjelica Houston’s Morticia who are, for me, the enduring beauty icons. They are so deeply rooted in our pop culture that everyone knows on an instinctual level whether they are a Wednesday or a Morticia. Both characters serve very different takes on gothic beauty, but what unites them is a sense of individualism and an esoteric style that is not concerned with anyones response to it. In the ‘91 and ‘93 films, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values, Christina Ricci plays Wednesday with skin so toneless and smooth it almost erases all of her features. Her straight natural brows cast a shadow above her eyes which along with her lips are her only facial detail. The lack of contrast in Wednesday's face extends to her invisible eyelashes. She looks like Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring, or an old daguerreotype photograph from before a camera could capture a lot of detail. Wednesday looks displaced from a previous time, a walking black and white photograph in a 90s summer camp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d417c76d-04e5-479e-96ef-4e345800bcd6/addams%2Bfamily%2B2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: The Enduring Gothic Glamour of The Addams Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-millennial-and-gen-z-toxic-masculinity-took-over-the-white-lotus-season-two monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd5f67ab-96ac-4c5a-a9b7-c305f5a54e62/white%2Blotus%2B1.png Features - How Millennial and Gen Z Toxic Masculinity Took Over The White Lotus Season Two With the exception of Portia this season (and Paula in season one) who both visit a White Lotus on the backs of their richer counterparts, every character who goes on holiday to a White Lotus resort automatically oozes massive amounts of wealth and therefore, privilege.

There was this naive blind faith that everything was going to work out, because it just had to. The video plays out like a slightly more surreal version of a day in my life a few years back, going to meet a friend to catch up about how we are, who’s doing what, where we’re going and usually why things aren’t panning out the way we thought they might. Throughout the video I’m bumbling around, taking the scenic route, and stealing shit from various people I encounter, only to show up at this friend’s door at the end with everything I’ve accumulated. That’s Robin Hood to me — acknowledging that you might be a little lost in the moment, you might not have everything together, but turning to your friend and being like “here’s a bunch of stuff I thought might cheer you up, you’re going to be fine”. This song has an optimism that I really try to tap into when I’m running low on vibes. There’s a wistfulness about it that really evokes those feelings, and I tried to capture that in the video. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb645d45-1b21-4757-93db-426cd45c1378/Screenshot%2B2022-12-14%2Bat%2B3.23.18%2BPM.png Features - Kenzie TTH is Capturing Every Day Life in the ‘Robin Hood’ Music Video - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jordan-gray-transplains-herself-on-making-firsts-and-the-fun-of-nudity monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a80d63b4-00e7-41c4-a45a-527aca1ab083/jordan%2B1.png Features - Jordan Gray Transplains Herself: On Making Firsts and the Fun of Nudity Jordan Gray shocked the world when she bared her soul on Channel Four’s Friday Night Live. An exciting new face on the comedy landscape, fresh from a rapturous reception at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Jordan shared her whole self with the studio audience and immediately cemented her place as an icon. In a time when trans bodies are so heavily policed and politicised, it’s incredibly refreshing to see Jordan’s exuberantly gleeful display, a naughty kid mooning the entire school, teachers and prefects be damned. If Jordan Gray seems familiar, it’s because she also had a highly successful run on the 2016 season of The Voice, making it to the semi finals and into the hearts of the nation. Now she’s back on our screens and in our minds - with too many projects to count, and the support of major comedy stars backing her up, she truly seems unstoppable. We managed to snatch a few moments with her to discuss her sold out show which is returning after her star-making turn on Channel Four, her new podcast, and everything else besides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/628ecccd-492e-4061-985c-3ecdfadbd9a0/jordan%2B2.png Features - Jordan Gray Transplains Herself: On Making Firsts and the Fun of Nudity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/disco-dime-high-maintenance-i-spy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ff4d56d-c952-49c8-8379-ad1f6bee669f/Untitled_Artwork.jpg Features - Disco Dime: High Maintenance I Spy This I Spy illustration is called “High Maintenance I Spy” and it’s a collection of objects and figurines that hold meaning to me or represent things that have been on my mind! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5fe6e2b4-0802-464e-9f8a-2cbb49f565b5/Untitled_Artwork.jpg Features - Disco Dime: High Maintenance I Spy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/636d672f-58c9-4206-9a8a-6e16dbd9116b/Untitled_Artwork%2B%283%29.jpg Features - Disco Dime: High Maintenance I Spy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c772789-5023-492b-b833-3a65d3adf92e/Untitled_Artwork%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Disco Dime: High Maintenance I Spy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/908be5ee-25a9-4c98-9d1b-3bf626d48768/Untitled_Artwork%2B%282%29.jpg Features - Disco Dime: High Maintenance I Spy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-maeve-on-her-evolving-style monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0720a3a-3d23-4f4c-bb16-4d92c9ab7b94/glad%2Brags%2B1.png Features - Glad Rags: Maeve on Her Evolving Style Get your glad rags on gang!

Coquette. Dark Academia. Rockstar Girlfriend. Balletcore. Clean. Downton. Indie Sleaze. To name but a small pocket of aesthetic currency, those well versed on social media will be no stranger to at least two of these conceptual ‘IT Girls’. 2022 has seen itself become the year to zenith this boiling pot of trends. Crafting pseudo-individualism and the illusion of authenticity, this year has taken popular fashion from the item into the identity; fixating lifestyle and futurity to the fur of an Afghan, the clothes of this year meant more than looking cool, they meant personality, spontaneity, and a lust for life while lying about being bothered. The legwarmers came in, that I’d never seen real person wear. The 90s revival realigned heroin chic for a new age. The maxi skirt, the cargo: why curate your own personal style when you can pick one from a list? But where the influencer God’s that be, apparently pointed shut eyed at the year’s most ‘wearable pieces’, heaven forbid they all be worn together. What I think we’ve seen now, in realisation of this almost regulatory instruction manual to authenticity, is a chaotic hyper-fusion of clashing trends that re-immerse the tacky into the truth of personal style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ed6071d3-0236-4c51-a536-42ece6980158/matrix%2Bstyle%2B2.png Features - The Matrix of Micro-Aesthetics: How Trends Ruled 2022 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-overlooked-gay-icons-you-should-know monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/45d3d018-0e96-4a8c-a732-7b21a35245a2/barbara%2Bcartland%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Overlooked Gay Icons You Should Know Despite burgeoning clouds of asexuality, I have recently joined the dating app Hinge, and it has brought with it some interesting queer culture analysis, which I will share with you today. I love writing short pithy profiles, whether it’s 100 word artist bios, single sentence summaries or self-serving solicitations for hookup apps, so I approached this new opportunity with gusto. Hinge is designed to give a more varied and genuine taste of a person, giving the user options to share several pictures and answer multiple different questions or conversation prompts. I have a lot to say about many things, so this was very fun for me. Once I’d listed the key to my heart (pizza, aperol, ouzo, midweek drag shows and European cinema) and weird things I have in my bedroom (a skull, Holy water from Lourdes, tiaras, art nouveau cigarette holders and a collection of 1930s kimonos), I came across a very intriguing prompt: My Favourite Off-Brand LGBTQ Icon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b70b303d-eb2b-492d-83a5-792b625aaa81/dalida%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Overlooked Gay Icons You Should Know - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2a5335a0-ce3c-4ead-9a01-7b6e8c4dba76/goddess%2Bbunny%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Overlooked Gay Icons You Should Know - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/art-rookie-whats-art-got-to-do-with-it-reflections-on-the-just-stop-oil-climate-protests monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82de15c4-9f7c-4c80-97fa-2ea16c3faa05/oil%2B1.png Features - Art Rookie: What's Art Got To Do With It, Reflections On The Just Stop Oil Climate Protests - Make it stand out In an art world news cycle that garners mainstream attention only when a Picasso is sold for a hundred million pounds or when Banksy shreds his own work of art at an auction, activists making headlines for throwing food and glueing body parts to artworks across museums in Europe and North America is an unprecedented but welcome intrusion. The activists from the environmental group Just Stop Oil target highly popular works of art in response to the government's decision to approve 100 new oil and gas projects in the North Sea, amongst broader environmental concerns regarding climate change. These climate activists have hosed down police headquarters with orange paint, glued themselves to plinths, stormed Silverstone, and spray-painted an Aston Martin showroom, amongst many other tactics. In typical fashion, the discourse surrounding these protests is divisive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa14cfb4-f0e2-4d0b-9b1a-4f69e1dada83/oil%2B2.png Features - Art Rookie: What's Art Got To Do With It, Reflections On The Just Stop Oil Climate Protests - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-are-fictional-cannibals-so-hot monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0fbfe11a-6715-4257-a9a2-63f10af6b9ad/cannibal%2B1+%281%29.png Features - Why Are Fictional Cannibals So Hot? Picture Timothee Chalamet’s naked torso glistening with blood in Bones & All, or Garance Marillier’s Justine having a voracious seven minutes in heaven in the Julia DuCournau debut body horror Raw. Timothee Chalamet’s portrayal of Lee is equally lovable and dangerous, even though the red flags wave high - man eaters are notoriously bad at dating - you can’t help but fall slightly in love with this damaged drifter. Justine matches this energy, her flesh eating ways laced with purposeful eroticism. Following the release of Bones & All, Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal love story based on the Camille DeAngelis novel of the same name, online critics claimed that the film romanticises cannibalism and murder, but I believe the opposite to be true. Bones & All and Raw both ensure that ‘eating human’ parts of their films are viscerally vile: scenes filled with stretching skin and crunching bones that make you squirm at the sight. To read these films simply as an invite to murderous violence is to read them on a surface level, in the same way some blame game violence for acts of violence committed in real life. The archetype of the cannibal is much more rich with metaphor than simply a hankering for human flesh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6625c50e-4fa4-461f-9779-863e2c568b15/cannibal%2B2.png Features - Why Are Fictional Cannibals So Hot? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/100-years-of-russ-meyer-our-recommendations-from-the-sex-positive-film-makers-legacy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ef3ab7e2-00ac-4cb7-94cf-3156b0aa8a45/russ+1.png Features - 100 Years of Russ Meyer: Our Recommendations from the Sex Positive Film Maker’s Legacy “Nothing is obscene providing it is done in bad taste.” - Russ Meyer The Self-Confessed ‘King of the Nudie Cuties,’ Russ Meyer was born in 1922, growing up in a single-parent (his father had flown the coop) family, he developed a taste for celluloid following the purchase of an 8MM camera as a teenager. Meyer honed his filmmaking skills during World War 2 as a combat cameraman with the 29th Division. Like Stanley Kubrick, he started out in newsreels. (The footage turns up in Patton). He acquired the technical skills in the army he would utilize in his movies, ensuring success in his film-career: composition, lighting, editing, and choreography would become staples of his cinematic excursions. Even though he was an independent filmmaker his career doubles as a Hollywood primer. A pioneer of joyous indecency, Meyer has been cited as the reason The King of Hollyweird Lloyd Kaufman discovered masturbation when studying at Yale. The Cramps appropriated the styles of his femme fatale-type characters, The Spice Girls emulated scenes from his movies, and without Meyer, there would be no Divine or Tarantino’s Deadly Viper Sqaud. Oh, and let’s not forget Ernest Hemingway was a friend, introducing the impressionable young man to working girls, who allegedly popped Meyer’s cherry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a274fd70-ab9b-4557-b42f-ef2a00b48b65/russ+2.png Features - 100 Years of Russ Meyer: Our Recommendations from the Sex Positive Film Maker’s Legacy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/book-binging-does-reading-too-much-ruin-the-meaning monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5829327b-d329-40f0-9a09-92c68c9d176b/reading%2B2.png Features - Book Binging: Does Reading Too Much Ruin the Meaning? As the focus of a finger wag from at least some stage in our childhood, this phrase has followed most of us into our adult years: ‘Too much of anything is never a good thing.’ But in my own upbringing, this only applied to getting square television eyes or hyper after chocolate. There was one hobby that never found itself admonished: reading. But why would it? To read more is to grow sophisticated, educated, wordly. The escapism it brings feels more nuanced than the screen, it strengthens and complexifies the networks of your brain. In the eyes of a younger self, my parents and my teachers, there was no such thing as reading too much. Since lockdown, reading feels like it is having a resurgence in popularity. Booktok amasses millions of views daily, recommending novels and nonfiction to audiences hungry to read more and more and more. An old uni friend on Goodreads pledges to read 100 books in 2023. Gone are the days that a picture of a book and coffee makes it to the feed, but a full literary analysis is necessary on every tome you touch. Digital media has taken literary discourse to levels both academic and accessible and the pressure to consume as many books as possible appears to have affected the way in which we actively engage with popular literature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8efa0bb5-4b57-45b4-a506-2d1f4a82d38a/reading%2B1.png Features - Book Binging: Does Reading Too Much Ruin the Meaning? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-to-survive-xmas-with-ms-sharon-le-grand-and-fi-mccluskey monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4149f762-9f33-4e14-b046-a31f283a0782/christmas%2B1.png Features - How to Survive Xmas with Ms Sharon Le Grand and Fi McCluskey In the wise words of our favourite festive pair: MOVE YOUR BUM!

Despite her absence the last three decades, she continues to be on countless “best of” lists, the subject of books, and has multiple websites devoted to her life and work—not to mention, her unforgettable face gracing vintage movie posters and black and white postcards your fun aunt picks up to decorate the house with. Film director Blake Edwards once said about Hepburn, “I think that there are few people in one’s life that you never really feel that they’re gone. I have to remind myself that she isn’t around.” At the time of publication for this article, her TikTok hashtag (#audreyhepburn) has racked up 462.4 million views. But there was more to Hepburn than her well-known gamine features: her bold eyebrows, side-swept bangs, doe eyes, charismatic smile and covetable style. Some might say Audrey’s aura still manages to leap off the silver screen, mesmerizing audiences from the 1950s to this day—and who knows how many fans she’ll make tomorrow. It could be her down-to-earth relatability. Her film characters were far from perfect and in her major roles, it’s easy to learn a bit about life and stumbling along the way. Hepburn’s “dramatic” choices covered a range of characters who dared to go outside their comfort zones and coincidentally fall hard for love. And in Hepburn’s real-life finale, what seemed to matter most to her was stepping out of the spotlight, having more time with family and engaging in charitable causes. From her personal life and film roles, here are the lessons I’ve learned from the legacy of Hepburn. A Golightly list if you will. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e551f746-9328-4c3d-9b7e-9f654d5c6498/audrey%2B2.png Features - Lessons Learned from Audrey Hepburn’s Legacy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sick-sad-girlz-on-looking-after-yourself-during-the-holidays monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1820e54b-7cbb-4a7f-b6c5-96c2ddc5486d/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%287%29.png Features - Sick Sad Girlz on Looking After Yourself During the Holidays Not feeling the holiday cheer?

From bimbocore touting kid’s Hello Kitty handbags from the charity shops, to amassing massive Jellycat collections after relegating the teddies of your youth into your mam’s attic, nostalgia hits heavy for all of us in one way or another. For many queer people, Moomins is a particular favourite to return to because on reflection, these creatures and their many castmates were the embodiment of queer living before we truly knew what that meant. The Moomins themes of community and family are exemplar of the kind of lifestyles their creator, Tove Jansson, held dear. Darker moments within books like Moominland Midwinter, exploring loneliness and feeling excluded, provide comfort in the knowledge that these feelings are as natural a part of life as breathing. Whether purposefully or not, Tove, the Finnish, queer inventor of the Moomin universe, created a world that reflected her own and in turn, reflected positivities that make us all feel more at peace with our experiences. Speaking with Polyester editor Gina Tonic, the creative director for Moomins (and great nephew to Tove) James Zambra discusses the past, present and future for the entire population of Moominvalley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acf0eaf5-6e3d-44b5-8077-a469e1f3031c/TJ_Simmar_POJ%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Preserving the Queer Legacy of Moomins: In Conversation with Creative Director James Zambra - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/758a0d2c-f9d9-4f48-8173-bf962b639dd9/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2023-01-19%2Bat%2B10.25.30.jpeg Features - Preserving the Queer Legacy of Moomins: In Conversation with Creative Director James Zambra - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1b89b056-9179-4ae7-9037-0f3ba54c4fb0/Jansson_02.jpg Features - Preserving the Queer Legacy of Moomins: In Conversation with Creative Director James Zambra - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/radical-warmth-and-the-cult-of-cool monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/926cb08c-f00e-4b71-bf03-d3c7a9fe35db/warmth%2B2.png Features - Radical Warmth and The Cult of Cool Right before I moved away from Australia, my housemate’s mother described me as “the warmest person she has ever met.” It’s something that’s stuck with me. Like a horoscope, I immediately identified. It bolstered me — this was a compliment, surely? I like to think that I try to be open, generous, inclusive, caring … but I will not go on, reader, for you will think me truly deluded in my levels of self-esteem. Luckily though, being who I am, I spiralled. I began to ponder being “warm” as the natural opposite to being “cool.” Warm has a tepid stodginess about it. Could it be that the correlation was that I am uncool?

Especially when the talented director, Herk Harvey, with hundreds of ideas brimming under the surface of his independently funded B-movie, makes one film and one film only. The enigmatic leading actress in the film, Candace Hilligoss, retires from the spotlight with only two films under her belt, and the screenwriter of the film, John Clifford spent the rest of his career writing documentary films rather than subversive, experimental horror. A cursed production maybe? Carnival of Souls (1962) is a spooky, Southern Gothic (Midwest Gothic technically) inspired film with a foreboding atmosphere and a psychedelic, carnival influenced organ score. Mary Henry, played by Hilligoss, is a young church organist in a small Kansas town survives a bizarre drag race accident with a Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! (1965) vibe, and then agrees to take a job in Salt Lake City in an attempt to distance herself from the accident which has clearly shaken up her mental state.

She died three days later after slipping into a coma from head injuries sustained while in police custody. The public outcry over her brutal murder has fueled one of the most unprecedented shows of dissent in Iran’s history. With no hope for reform, people from all walks of life have taken to the streets, risking tear gas, bullets, and the baton strikes of the riot police, to demand an end to the Islamic Republic regime, specifying that they want “neither monarchy, nor theocracy” but a secular, free democracy. Those at the forefront are young women, protesting the gender apartheid laws that led to Jina’s death with both real and symbolic acts of defiance, such as removing and burning their headscarves. Men have joined their cause. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e288cab9-3984-42f5-8f5c-ab9df979b99c/2+%281%29.png Features - Iranian Women Don't Need You to Save Them, They Need You to Stop Saving their Murderers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-how-to-get-the-perfect-indie-sleaze-makeup monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a427cbba-f6e3-47d0-a603-37e74aa4176e/intro.png Features - Agony Al: How to Get the Perfect Indie Sleaze Makeup I am sick of “clean girl beauty”. Being trapped inside for the past few years had us focusing on skincare and natural makeup, looking clean and polished, tricking ourselves we’re subverting the male gaze by binning our full coverage foundations and embracing “reality”. Sike! The clean girl aesthetic is just as damaging, having us obsess over getting flawless, poreless skin and looking well rested. When one of you wrote in to ask me for indie sleaze makeup, I jumped at the chance. I wanted something easy, something effortless, with minimal products and maximum pay off. The antithesis to clean girl makeup: party girl makeup, aka indie sleaze makeup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/390af3b1-11f7-4ddd-80d1-122436ddb39d/1%2B%281%29.png Features -

A lot of these speculative rave reviews are specifically about Harry Styles - about the potential calibre of his performance and, specifically, about seeing him play a gay character in a queer story. In many ways, Styles’ public persona has always been leading up to this, with the nature of fandom and projection looming like a shadow over the career of the singer and - I must begrudgingly add - actor. His presence invites this projection and big reactions: his Vogue cover from November of 2020 did this on all sides; from the way in which it was hailed as progressive in some corners, a tell-tale sign about the singer’s identity in others, and “a referendum on masculinity” from reactionary right-wing trolls. The irony is that all of these reactions miss the mark slightly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f08af7ce-f48e-4c15-8c7d-4ff23323fa03/Untitled-2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What We Talk About When We Talk About Harry Styles - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/hairless-from-birth-my-struggle-with-beauty-standards-in-south-asia monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5403909c-67a6-4d44-b858-f750880e83df/hair%2B2.png Features - Hairless from Birth: My Struggle with Beauty Standards in South Asia My own experiences with body hair have been of contempt; more from others than myself. My mother recalls advice the elder women in our family gave her upon my birth - “Remove her facial hair.” According to the myth, passed on by several generations across Pakistan, if you ‘wax’ the hair off of a newborn girl child, she remains virtually hairless for the rest of her life. My mother did as she was told. She kneaded together flour and water, made a small ball of dough, and dutifully removed my facial hair. When she recounted the story to me as an adult, she told me to thank her, because now I got to enjoy minimal facial hair thanks to her foresight. While she claims to know better than believe this mythology, there are many who still cling to the old wives tale. A distaste for facial hair is a pervasive beauty standard in my community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d35f9876-6047-466c-9382-bd6d79f8ecac/hair%2B1.png Features - Hairless from Birth: My Struggle with Beauty Standards in South Asia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-the-appropriation-of-sex-work-culture-in-queer-nightlife-pt-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b615930-d716-4047-96bc-15bf587ea9f6/qwc%2B2%2B%281%29.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: The Appropriation of Sex Work Culture in Queer Nightlife Pt. 1 “Blowjobs are real jobs and real jobs suck” chants a crowd at 2am at a queer clubnight in East London. It isn’t a sex worker protest or march, but a mixed-bill club night run by Queer House Party (QHP). Featured on the night are Cybertease, a self-organised stripper collective formed at the beginning of the pandemic in a bid to create an online platform for dancers to earn while the clubs were shut. Cybertease imagine a future exempt from exploitative strip club bosses, extortionate house fees, unfair fines, and lack of workers rights. Tonight they are go-go dancing in harmony with call-and-response rallying cries such as "sex work is real work", delivered to club goers by a host from QHP.

With groovy bodies of work like 2016’s Stay Around EP, and the infectiously jazzy number “Good Morning”, Wrice quickly built a dedicated following of genre aficionados. Her impressive trajectory as a female musician, artist, and performer, navigating the competitive industries with flair and pastiche, is one to be admired. From ‘90s album cover parallels to Y2K physical media packages, Wrice enjoys paying tribute to the R&B divas who continue to inspire her creative endeavours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6019cc13-1ff7-4f6a-a25f-e64a7cd82f2b/Untitled-1%2B%288%29.png Features - Joyce Wrice Talks New ‘Motive’ EP, R&amp;B and Divine Femininity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sick-sad-girlz-how-to-deal-with-a-friendship-break-up monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88194f5e-5f8f-4f35-9a3b-971289739217/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%287%29%2B%281%29%2B%281%29.png Features - Sick Sad Girlz: How To Deal With A Friendship Break-up With the ever-expanding representation of relationships, situationships, and love in popular culture, you would think that friendships would come up more often in the discussion. We often hear people speaking about their attachment-styles, love languages and green and red flags when it comes to romantic endeavors, but when it comes to friendship, we’re kind of just operating on this assumed knowledge of what makes a good and bad friend. Considering we already know that people have different emotional and physical needs, ways of communicating, expressing love, and creating boundaries, it would make sense that we need to consider all of these things when deciding if a friendship is working for us. So what do we do if we realize that (plot twist) it isn’t? https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/josie-ho-on-the-importance-of-partying-film-making-and-being-a-multi-faceted-creative monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93bf20a6-ed97-4f0e-b4f4-9b9f63d75bcd/josie%2B1.png Features - Josie Ho on the Importance of Partying, Film Making and Being a Multi Faceted Creative Hong Kong native actress, director and producer Josie Ho is a jack of all trades and a master of them all: From playing a beehive toting gun slinging character alongside some drug dealing nuns in Habit (2021) to putting on incredible live performances with her band Josie and the Uni Boys, Josie Ho does it all. She also runs her own production company 852 films with her husband who have put out films like How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017) and Dream Home (2010).

Although unexpected, Ti West’s newest slasher film, starring Mia Goth, has recently been inducted into the femcel movie hall of fame. Femcels pride themselves on “toxic femininity” and relating to broken female protagonists that are unapologetically selfish. So naturally, Pearl fits right in. The film follows Pearl (the “antagonist” of X) in 1918, as she desperately tries to escape her life on the family farm, answering to her strict mother and caring for her sick father; she dreams of running away making it as a movie star. Right away, women on TikTok began to empathize with Pearl’s desire to be loved and follow her dreams. “She is soooo me,” as they say. Even when it’s apparent that a female character exists solely to be the “bad guy,” you can never stop viewers from seeing themselves in her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/85da36bf-78b2-426c-9299-7905a413a492/pearl%2B2.png Features - Pearl and The Internet's Obsession with Feminine Rage - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-defence-of-skinny-jeans-how-microtrends-arent-dictating-our-actual-style monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a8ab2b61-7dc8-4d3f-9bea-9816efd510b3/skinny%2Bjeans%2B1+%281%29.png Features - In Defence Of Skinny Jeans: How Microtrends Aren’t Dictating Our Actual Style When I was fifteen - which I’ll (reluctantly) admit was over a decade ago at this point - the only way you could have gotten me to part ways with my bone-clinging, ‘spray on’ jeans, was if you had pried them out of my cold, dead, chipped black nail-polished fingers. My mother would guffaw as I engaged in a bizarre ritual she hadn’t seen since the 70s of her youth; lying on the bed, sucking in until light-headed and pulling my fly up with a wire coat hanger looped through the zip―such was their tightness, it was the only way I could actually get them on. Angst-ridden teens of the mid aughts apart, the humble skinny jean was considered a fool-proof closet staple to a vast majority of clothes-wearers in only the relatively recent past. But now, figure-hugging denim has become one of the most contentious items of clothing online, coming to represent a full blown generational divide between ‘cheugy’ millennials and clued-in Gen Z. The stones have been cast―skinny jeans were dubbed out in a dizzying multitude of scrollable video content faster than you can say middle-part. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fdf7892-90f0-4cee-a92d-82c4fb7f4833/skinny%2Bjeans%2B2.png Features - In Defence Of Skinny Jeans: How Microtrends Aren’t Dictating Our Actual Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lovelle-on-accessing-emotions-through-music monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6026cacd-791e-40f0-8226-7d5dea355d50/lovelle%2B1.png Features - Lovelle On Accessing Emotions Through Music From the unique sounds of South East London to accessing emotions through music, Gina Tonic chats to musician and model Lovelle about her new single ‘I Can’t Stop Thinking Bout U’, an emotional track on overcoming recent heartbreak, as well as her dream musical collaborations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5a6aaa41-642b-43e8-acb8-6f1d79d68c1f/lovelle%2B2.png Features - Lovelle On Accessing Emotions Through Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shahed-ezaydis-the-othered-woman-is-an-essential-addition-to-intersectional-feminism-discourse monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f4e1b5b9-f01e-440b-ad31-948d42311a3f/Untitled-1%2B%286%29.png Features - Shahed Ezaydi's The Othered Woman is an Essential Addition to Intersectional Feminism Discourse Shahed Ezaydi is a Libyan journalist and author specialising in political and social issues. Ezaydi, a proud Northerner and Muslim woman, is passionate about reporting on issues from underrepresented communities such as Islamophobia, particularly gendered Islamophobia, which is rarely discussed in mainstream media but is a very real experience for many Muslim women. Her new book, The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women, is the next step in her mission of amplifying and sharing these experiences with the rest of the world. “It's still in its early stages, but I'm hoping it'll make a significant contribution to the feminist field because I've never really read about gendered Islamophobia in relation to feminism, [and] I don't feel like there's really a book out there like this one, which speaks to the publishing industry and the sad state of affairs this section of feminism is in.” Ezaydi enthuses, “I feel like Muslim women need to occupy more of that space and hoping that this [book] will do that.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/51f4684f-8367-4596-9bc8-dd8a790145e8/Untitled-1%2B%287%29.png Features - Shahed Ezaydi's The Othered Woman is an Essential Addition to Intersectional Feminism Discourse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-non-on-going-back-to-your-roots monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f58ff088-abed-4888-903c-6bbb7dcb4ca6/Untitled-1%2B%285%29.png Features - Glad Rags: Nonô On Going Back To Your Roots Get your glad rags on gang!

Her eyes are watery and wide open. The whites visible all the way around her iris. The sequin she uses as a beauty spot hits the light, as does the wetness of her eyes. Brian Roberts’ face is healthy, tanned but covered in a film of sheeny sweat. The Emcee’s heavy white grease paint is dry at the forehead, exaggerating the contortions of his face, which breaks into sweaty heat as he starts to dance with the chorus. Saliva flashes on his teeth as he sings. The beauty in Bob Fosse’s Cabaret is wet. Everyone is sweating. Thick stage makeup is disintegrating under lights. Liza Minelli, as Sally, wears her eyelashes in heavy clumps that point directly up to reach her brow and down to skim her cheekbone. You can see the powder on her skin, there’s visible texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf70b220-c4f4-456e-9bec-3ab770cf2555/cab%2B2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Cabaret’s Makeup is an Argument Against Winged Eyeliner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shirley-manson-talks-female-rage-alanis-morissette-and-sausage-rolls monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/417390d5-3d46-4baa-bdba-b421ab40e7c8/shirley%2B2.jpeg Features - Shirley Manson talks Female Rage, Alanis Morissette and Sausage Rolls Shirley Manson is a cult icon for a reason - her music, obviously brilliant, her style, instantly recognisable, but her outspoken personality is what really seals the deal.

What do we even mean by content culture, and at what point did we allow information to become a mass-produced commodity? Since the initial boom in accessibility of shared information via the internet, our digital media industries and, in turn, us as a collective audience, have slowly fallen victim to a capitalistic content culture. This culture is one which has evolved so rapidly and to such a degree that we now see our mainstream press, once regarded as the cornerstone of an informed and democratic society, broken down into cheap soundbites, internet memes and disingenuous click-baiting headlines. In an attempt to assimilate itself into modern content culture, we must now endure a free press whose value is placed not on the ability to educate its audience, but on its ability to incite reaction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/89081b8f-3bdb-4704-9406-84450cd4c55f/content%2B2.png Features - The Content Culture Crisis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/its-not-you-its-them-why-the-laws-of-attraction-arent-real monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d6e1f268-1938-4016-8293-f51ee6c8e647/attraction%2B1.png Features - It’s Not You, It’s Them: Why the Laws of Attraction Aren't Real Recognising attraction is straightforward when it is felt deeply. We feel it when sparks fly on an amazing date, or in a conversation with an acquaintance where you just know that they’ll quickly become a close friend. But when it comes to analysing unhealthy relationship patterns, the language of attraction often falls short. This is because when we think about attraction, we see a mystical explanation for why bad or good things happen to people. It can quickly morph into an emotional and psychological crutch to grasp definitively, blaming our problems on it as something that we likely have minimal influence over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/767f1d48-c22c-4423-98da-1eb9b7102a75/attraction%2B2.png Features - It’s Not You, It’s Them: Why the Laws of Attraction Aren't Real - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-the-moon-tried-to-kill-me monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/98b3c72b-c9e8-4b5a-84d6-994db9e5d5c1/moon%2Bgoddess%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Moon Tried to Kill Me Last month, the moon tried to kill me. I felt like I was literally fighting for my life, facing off against celestial bodies and ancient powers. I’m happy to say that I pulled through, but it was a pretty rough two weeks, very much not the kind of personal struggles I would have previously envisioned myself having at the age of 31. I’m not super au fait with astrology, but I know enough to get by in a Brighton or London creative-industry millennial conversation (probably not Bristol and definitely not LA). I know my suns from my risings, who gets on with who, what love matches might work, but equally have no idea where Venus is or why she has so many houses (no one needs 12 houses, kill all property hoarders and slum-lords.) But I do love the moon. I like seeing at the moon shine on the sea from my bedroom window. I like it when it floods my room and wakes me from troubling dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ad8ef71-e8c2-4d44-8298-0e4db20b1bfb/moon%2Bsuffering%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Moon Tried to Kill Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/talia-beale-on-queer-home-life-and-broadening-your-creative-outlet monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac6ab166-c9b4-4c9b-a122-e2d5245e8d03/talia%2B1.png Features - Talia Beale On Queer Home Life And Broadening Your Creative Outlet Talia Beale is one of many artists collaborating with Ugly Duck Bermondsey for their @Disturbance program this year with to trudge in zundon, an art project focusing on the queer lives lived on council estates, particularly in London.

Sitting at the side of a lake with her friend, she reflects on her disappointing college experience. “This isn’t it,” she says. “This isn’t my life.” It’s a familiar, lonely feeling, like finding yourself at a party you were desperate to go to, only to realise you’re not having any fun. The feature debut from multimedia artist Martine Syms, who got her own MFA from Bard College, is a biting satire about a Black girl’s hellish last day in a predominantly white institution. Like much of Syms’ work, the humour is deadpan. Played by real-life artist Diamond Singily, Palace must deal with racist tutors, tedious rich kids, and sexy but indifferent men. It’s no wonder she decides to drown her sorrows. But a swig of small batch Mezcal and an innocent spliff are a gateway to mushrooms, Molly, and Ketamine. Her evening soon turns into a neon-lit bacchanal, her world warping and changing colour as she gets increasingly wasted. Palace’s situation is funny, awful, specific, and feels true. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf0e4030-c511-486c-b729-5707b5bc8c18/TAD%2Bcollages%2Bcopy1.jpeg Features - The African Desperate and the Achingly Accurate Depiction of Art School - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/enter-the-gallery-memes-in-response-to-the-african-desperate monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bf1f40f1-d0c5-4feb-81a4-ef4253b103e4/meme5.png Features - Enter the Gallery: Memes in Response to The African Desperate Inspired by Martine Sym's use of meme culture and internet humour in The African Desperate we collaborated with @arthouseshitposting on a fresh set of memes to accompany the film.

All those news stories on their brownness and how it was supposedly a huge win for the culture were alienating. Without sounding too harsh, I didn't feel the sense of pride shared by the community. While I recognise South-Asian women being cast as leading ladies and seen as desirable by the mainstream media feels monumental, I couldn't help but feel at odds with these hyperbolic sentiments claiming decolonisation. Maybe it comes from my personal vantage point of having lived in South India for most of my life and routinely seeing brown people embody those roles in regional movies and television. But I also think I've arrived at this point from being keenly aware that this particular strain of aestheticising Brownness and representational politics is superficial at best and dangerous at worst. Especially dangerous when the colour of someone's skin shields them from critique and used to defend and uphold white supremacist institutions - as in the cases of Rishi Sunak, Suella Braverman and Kamala Harris. The seeming frivolity of Brownness as aesthetic, however, is an entirely different predicament. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/862532b4-838c-4554-a324-6c29b88aaa90/BrowngirlmemesonIG.png Features - Art Rookie: South Asian Show and Tell; Why Mainstream Art and Culture Can't Stop Aestheticising Brownness - Make it stand out @Browngirlmemes on Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f11a1e0-36c6-4d55-9ffa-dd8e35ce0d20/art%2Brookie%2B2+%281%29.png Features - Art Rookie: South Asian Show and Tell; Why Mainstream Art and Culture Can't Stop Aestheticising Brownness - Make it stand out by Maria Qamar https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-memes-have-become-their-own-language-in-the-african-desperate-and-beyond monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e627f08e-9fbe-4fce-be83-900f2983364f/IMG_1430.jfif Features - How Memes Have Become Their Own Language - In The African Desperate and Beyond Memes have become a language; something society has sought to eschew since its foundation. Flippant, easily digested, yet a powerful and discursive communication and archive of contemporary sensibility. Martine Syms uses this language to take the farce of art world satire and makes it relatable, the day in the life format. Providing our daily thoughts and predilections becomes part of the daily human experience as we post, TikTok and gram our personal traumas, comedies, achievements, loves and losses for the world to see; an archive. The dialogue of the internet allows us to feel included in this story. THE AFRICAN DESPERATE acts as a direct reflection of Sym’s artistic practice, which has long explored performativity, using her subjects as a showcase of the ways we ‘act’ across film, installation, and writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5059cd17-e41f-4bbe-9b87-86b99436a5ed/IMG_1426.jfif Features - How Memes Have Become Their Own Language - In The African Desperate and Beyond - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/martine-syms-on-the-difference-between-creating-art-and-creating-films-about-art monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/023993d0-92db-4f1a-987c-b05fdebc9de3/MartineSyms_Headshot_Credit_DanielleLevitt.jpeg Features - Martine Syms on the Difference Between Creating Art and Creating Films About Art Martine Syms's whip-smart satire The African Desperate is a picaresque for art school cliches that we've come to love and loathe in equal parts. We meet our protagonist Palace Bryant, played by the inimitable Diamond Stingily, in an all too familiar setting: the art critique. In an ordeal that feels as tense as a well-crafted thriller, Palace is interrogated harshly by a panel of white professors on her work while continually, almost compulsively, being reminded that she is one of the hardest-working artists they know. One particularly villain-esque professor plays devil's advocate asking the singular question Black artists from marginalised genders so often hear - "There are lots of female artists your age and race making the same stuff you're doing; how are you going to differentiate yourself?". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3afde270-628a-4b6e-9334-69ae88d3f798/MARTINE_SYMS_photocredit_Hedi%2BSlimane.jpeg Features - Martine Syms on the Difference Between Creating Art and Creating Films About Art - Make it stand out Photo: Hedi Slimane https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/carolina-falkholt-consent-in-art-and-if-trigger-warnings-actually-help-us monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c6d6426d-ebf8-4637-a1c3-817814c8a3af/Roskilde12%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Carolina Falkholt, Consent in Art and If Trigger Warnings Actually Help Us Content Warning: This piece speaks explicitly about sexual assault Carolina Falkholt’s mural at Roskilde festival this summer put on centre stage what is often the subject of a network of whispers – sexual assault.

In 2020 Deen founded @Disturbance as trans led program that aims to elevating LGBTQIA+ voices in the arts. This yearly program of residencies, workshops, talks and a web network model where past artists return as juries, speakers and mentors is a community effort that benefits those just beginning in creative work, and culminates with digital and physical performances. The next @Disturbance show is running 10th, 11th and 12th of November. Talking with Polyester editor Gina Tonic, Deen breaks down the program, how important holding physical spaces for queer people is and why inclusivity is more important than ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/07305f60-0a8c-48d2-9909-fe7b689f2ba5/%40Disturbance_Yasmine%2BAkim.jpg Features - Deen Atger on @Disturbance, the Importance of Community and Curating Queer Spaces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/kidcore-is-melanie-lehmanns-latest-sickly-sweet-editorial monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f54ed7bd-6e24-487b-9b23-9f55d7107f0f/7.jpg Features - Kidcore is Melanie Lehmann's Latest, Sickly Sweet Editorial Our fav contributor Melanie Lehmann is back with Polyester showcasing a brand new editorial exploring youth aesthetics in her brilliant bubbly style.

I have felt more and less ambivalent about this at different points. When I was younger and cared less what other people thought of me, cared more about my punk credibility and didn’t have to maintain any kind of professional façade, I would draw designs in eyeliner on the large bald patches on my head and I looked, I am sure, completely insane. For most of the time, however, I have worn a wig. When I started wearing wigs, I had all sorts of styles - different lengths, colours and cuts - but quite quickly settled into a bright white bob. I wore it daily. I am pictured in it in my profile pictures, in party polaroids and in the picture on my work security pass. (Although sadly, I was not allowed to wear it in my passport photo. The resulting picture is, I think, the worst ever taken of me. I look desolate in my enforced baldness.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/70285213-648d-43d1-8242-d0b1f9d4ed30/alopecia%2B2.jpg Features - Crowning Glory: How Alopecia Changed People's Perception of Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/making-space-for-glorifying-obesity monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/86b32139-efc8-4318-92be-12fba654ed5b/glorify.jpg Features - Making Space for Glorifying Obesity It’s no secret that fat bodies, in comparison to slim ones, aren’t given the same airtime or respect in the entertainment industry, more specifically, the cabaret scene. Yet when they are there included, there is a strict trope people automatically expect from them - for example, fat burlesque is comedic and based around the performer’s size, fat comedians only talk about their failed diets and the ‘harmless’ casual fatphobia they encounter, drag queens pad their big bodies within an inch of their life to fit in with the “hourglass figure” expected of them. Fat creativity is consistently put into boxes of what is expected by the consumers. At the risk of sounding like the opening to an early 2000s MTV reality show, my name is Alabama Whirley and I set out to change this narrative. I have been a pole and burlesque performer for around 6 years now, predominantly creating horror and gore filled routines, and I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have come off stage to be greeted with, not only the classic and frankly offensive line of, “YOU’RE SO BRAVE I COULD NEVER DO THAT!”, but also, “I didn’t realise you were going to have a sexy act, I was waiting for it to be funny.” I can tell you now, the straight size performers on those nights weren’t told the same. It was expected they would be the ones to titillate the audience and the fatties would be there to make them laugh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7ac3fbad-db0f-4056-b84e-22a7853c9efa/glorify%2B2.jpg Features - Making Space for Glorifying Obesity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/other-men-on-socialising-while-transmasculine monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/12879efb-1010-4c98-966c-43f813b0ba08/men1.jpg Features - Other Men: On Socialising While Transmasculine Barbara Kruger’s Untitled (1981) is known for its typographic assertion that “you construct intricate rituals that allow you to touch the skin of other men”. You have probably seen this image already as a sarcastic reply to a display of homosocial behaviour: hobbies typically straight-male coded, such as contact sports or football or drinking cultures, have embedded within them codes of touching men. The act of touching men’s skin, hugging their shoulders in celebration, slapping them on the back or shaking their hands is inextricable from the male identity. Other men are integral to the identity of the individual, and none cannot exist in isolation from the skin of others. Having seen this image many times, I previously never gave it much thought. But I think I understand now. Where Kruger was looking at homoeroticism, I approach this – as all things – from the perspective of transmasculinity. The most intimidating thing for me, as a young queer transsexual, is negotiating my place with codified spaces of “intricate masculine rituals”; be it in pubs, barbershops, gay bars, bathhouses or orgies, I am aware that these spaces are ‘typically’ not used to the active presence of trans people. The fact that these intricate rituals exist, and are hard to penetrate, points towards a gatekept masculinity that is the preserve of cissexuals. I cannot speak for all trans people, but I know that the existence of “intricate rituals” which could reject and mock me for not being the correct form of “other man” forced my transition inwards, on altering the body in isolation from the rest of the world. Through centering my transition on changing the self away from prying eyes, I denied myself the possibility of “intricate rituals” because, in my core, I was terrified of rejection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/312c4223-4360-4f9f-8829-0feb098c4d48/men2.jpg Features - Other Men: On Socialising While Transmasculine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-crip-whores-united-one-of-many monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a1e1b8e5-6053-4aae-8442-1f2eaf9583b0/000074960003.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Crip Whores United (One of Many) Crip whores united, a WhatsApp message I got from Bella, a passing moment in conversation, but for the first time I felt seen and acknowledged as a whore and a disabled person, crip to crip, whore to whore.

And by long, I mean centuries long. Women were highly revered for their beauty and the female figure became a transcendent symbol that is undoubtedly canon to the movement. Women were seen solely as muses and muses most remained. This, however, didn’t stop some female artists from disregarding the whole “men playing God” thing (note to the nineteenth-century surrealist girlies, the men are still at it). Female surrealists persevered through the ages despite not being privy to as much publicity as their male counterparts; Magical surrealist painter, Leonara Carrington, notably once declared: “I warn you, I refuse to be an object”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/426a33ca-6531-40d9-9604-6ae3455486c3/AAAABbkDdK_MMMcdmteyXUq5s-Ayg-3B3i7HyQ5V4LeVMrqmehsyexK5pR0bqCBYXkFf5gHkoci7bjBzMtHmMF8kGZXyybSmeDaGyTt0.jpg Features - Surrealism in Film: A Perfect Playground for Women - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-bros-billy-eichner-and-what-queer-art-can-be monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/70ae5f2d-2267-478d-884e-d072eb3da9d0/bros%2B1.jpg Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Bros, Billy Eichner, and What Queer Art Can Be Queer history is everywhere in Bros, Billy Eichner’s gay romcom. As Eichner himself has stressed throughout his promotion for the film - a strategy that we can generously call combative - the film itself has, in a way, made history. It’s the first major studio film of its kind; with a queer creative team, and queer cast - the latter of which (obviously) features Eichner himself, alongside TS Maddison, Jim Rash, Luke Macfarlane, and more. This, on paper, is a good thing. Seeing studios embrace queer stories - especially those that go out of there way to wear queerness on their sleeves as explicitly as possible in the ways that Bros does; from Grindr hookups to gay cowboys in movies - ought to be a positive thing. It ought to be a moment where queer stories, and queer characters, are simply able to exist.

We’re ‘digital natives’, at home in the chaos, able to deftly navigate the ever-changing, half-living mediascape we have always inhabited. Those of us born this side of James Cameron’s Titanic missed the margin for the garish, rudimentary chatrooms of the AIM and MSN Messenger era.

Hate how dependent I am on meds. Any advice? Every day we put on our silly little outfits and take our silly little meds... except some days we don’t; some days we miss a dose or accidentally double up or feel like spilling all our pills and potions down the sink; sometimes we’re too sick or too sad or just not bothered to deal with existence.

Although their voices differ, their focus is the same: the death of their mothers. The former wrote Is Mother Dead, is a domestic thriller in which an ostracised daughter returns to her hometown to track down her distant mother. The latter is the blunt memoir of Jennette McCurdy, detailing her lifelong struggle with an emotionally abusive mother who forced her into the acting career that made her famous. The reason I hang on their every word is that I share the trauma that plagues these women’s work. Just like the lost children turned grieving adults in these books, I am a daughter of a narcissistic mother. The realities of growing up with a mother who consumed you, who poured her insecurities into her young daughter, is an experience I have never before seen so ruthlessly examined. When we think of a mother, we want to think of a woman who only gives - rarely do we see the violence mothers are capable of doing to their daughters. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-gay-horror monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24b26dda-720e-4cb8-b151-7cfa6cb2b54d/cruising%2Bcopy.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: On Gay Horror The skies are dark, the shadows are long, the leaves are falling! The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter! The time is perfect for cooking some wholesome food, opening a bottle of wine, curling up on the sofa and delving into some seasonal horror. I look forward to this every year because horror is such a good space for fun queer representation and patriarchal subversion in cinema, from monstrous man-eating femme fatales to queer coded villains sacrificing frat boys to ancient demons, and so much more. Normally I immerse myself in the innate campness of supernatural horror - I really go buck-wild for some of the stranger Hammer Horror offerings from the 1960s and 70s in all their flamboyant occultism. Blood on Satan’s Claw and The Devil Rides Out stand out particularly in my mind. Both are part of what is now termed as folk horror, depicting satanic cults in rural settings with indulgent high priests, dramatic devilish incantations and the attempted ritual sacrifice of virgins and out-of-towners.

A new millennium fast approaching, Y2K scare looming. British pop was in shambles. Cracks in the presiding structure of a manufactured Spice Girls empire arose. Without their Ginger Spice it became apparent that All Saints needed to step in. To their detriment was an overreliance on brand personality and a catalogue of covers. Albeit entertaining, S Club 7 and Steps were seen as novelty acts – their biggest hits the definitive soundtrack to wedding receptions and kid’s birthdays. Contrastingly, the slick melodic R&B of American girl groups TLC and Destiny’s Child reigned supreme. In dire need of a makeover, the search for a fresh, alternative British pop sound culminated in 1998. Signed by London Records, little did teenagers Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhán Donaghy know that they were about to make music history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9f2ac7c-a702-444b-809a-0b4f62136169/Sugababes_-_One_Touch_%28Official_Album_Cover%29.png Features - The Sophisticated Nuance of Sugababes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f0beae6-7788-4d59-a241-46a4617acf4a/3953fdcbf5237e99cae04c45e7f3c879.1000x1000x1.jpg Features - The Sophisticated Nuance of Sugababes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-will-the-cost-of-living-crisis-impact-our-relationship-with-fast-fashion monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60052450-c197-43d8-9e6a-8de8617548bc/fast%2Bfashion%2B2.png Features - How Will the Cost of Living Crisis Impact Our Relationship with Fast Fashion? Fast fashion isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when thinking about the cost of living crisis. Access to food, fuel, and paying our energy bills are obviously more important - yet, there’s an elephant in the room: how will mass inflation change how we spend our money? Specifically, how will it impact how we shop for our clothes? Thanks to capitalism, we’re used to filling the void in our lives by impulse buying random items we’re told will fix our lives - usually in the middle of the night when the urge to sort out all our problems kicks in, then promptly forgotten about until the parcel arrives. Whilst the government is primarily responsible for ensuring people have access to basic necessities, they also need to consider the repercussions that not offering proper financial support will have on consumers and our planet. With the climate crisis worsening and fast fashion being a primary contributor to our environmental decline, this issue is more urgent than it may seem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6727cba2-97c2-4206-8081-15f012ae62bd/fast%2Bfashion%2B1.png Features - How Will the Cost of Living Crisis Impact Our Relationship with Fast Fashion? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/did-we-forget-about-unif-the-inevitable-death-of-trend-focused-fashion-brands monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da871d3a-1a25-4ae5-9cdd-80e5f99d9163/unif2.png Features - Did We Forget About UNIF? The Inevitable Death of Trend Focused Fashion Brands From its collections of holographic platforms with ragged soles to richly blue cardigans with sunflower details, UNIF was one of the biggest brands to affirm the nineties and noughties fashion comeback in the late 2010s. The independent, Los Angeles family brand, UNIF, polished what Y2K could be. UNIF’s exceptional popularity led to constant “notify me!” blurbs at the bottom of their to-die-for products, as their shoes and sweaters were constantly sold out. Specifically, the Dot Mary Janes, Bliss Boots, Astera Sweater, and more were an online battle royale for the it-teens in training to try and own an exclusive UNIF piece. The LA brand was worn by all of the it-girls social media and fashion has graced us with: Emma Chamberlain, Enya Umanzor, Salem Mitchell, Internet Girl, and Guvmanian. These girls were secret weapons that left buyers amazed by clothing basics like cropped sweaters and pleated skirts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/354b518b-715d-4417-9c3b-974d3c736b99/unif1.png Features - Did We Forget About UNIF?

Fashioning pictures in the realms of magical-urbanism, her signature pink title cards and fairy-tale-like depictions of ‘80s New York City arguably make her the most sophisticatedly female filmmaker in movie history. Her career, encompassing key moments in the pop arts from introducing Madonna to the screen to directing the pilot for Sex and The City, surely belongs in the film books as one of the most astonishing ones by a woman auteur.

It made me reevaluate why I'm writing about the show in the first place. What purpose does it serve, and why does it matter? I hope these questions don't feel overly pedantic and that there is still space for another essay on Lubaina Himid, whose work has been displayed in the somewhat unsettling industrial-style Blavatnik Building at the Tate Modern since November 2021. I have been a fan of Lubaina and her whimsical paintings since I started university, and the obsession has only grown since I finally saw them in the flesh at her show at the Tate Modern last week. Born in Zanzibar, Lubaiana was brought to London when she was four months old; it is in London where she began her artistic practice. She played a crucial role in the British Black arts movement that began in the 80s, championing the work of underrepresented artists through exhibitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/82c6e644-0777-4a26-aed4-5da68e8b59aa/art%2Brookie%2B2.png Features - Art Rookie: Reimagining Black Histories and Stories: Lubaina Himid At The Tate Modern - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-ginger-snaps-and-unnerving-girl-autumn monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49aaa06b-a54e-4e4d-aac9-9ed24f4a4925/ginger%2Bsnaps%2B1.png Features - Film Fatale: Ginger Snaps and Unnerving Girl Autumn As October approaches and you look back on July as a melancholic, hazy, rose-tinted memory, the only hope is to open the door to Unnerving Girl Autumn and bathe in oversize leather jackets, the neighbourhood ghouls and gazing into the full moon. Ginger Snaps (2000) directed by John Fawcett is a top tier Unnerving Girl Autumn film. We’re all aware that women and horror go hand in hand; That a girl hitting puberty has uncanny similarities to transforming into the type of ravenous, feared creature from folklore. Ginger Snaps is one of the most notable versions is the ‘weird’ high school girl turned monstrous woman and devouring the ones who have wronged her. Combining self-aware comedic moments with gruesome scenes of body horror, the film utilises all of the genre's cliches to the narrative's advantage and engages audiences in a film that could be passed off as just another corny teen horror at first glance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/078fe946-8914-4c04-98c0-f650941316d5/ginger%2Bsnaps%2B2.png Features - Film Fatale: Ginger Snaps and Unnerving Girl Autumn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-in-crimes-of-the-future-david-cronenberg-says-trans-rights monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77e4cfa4-f581-4af1-a554-c00aac328912/crimes%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bfuture%2B2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: In Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg Says Trans Rights There’s a tendency to assume that all trans artists make work about their bodies. And a trans person making work about their body often becomes a shorthand for making work about gender, making work about Being Trans. Sometimes this is explicit or obvious; the work of performance artist Nina Arsenault, as she documents the procedures that have led to her body looking the way it does, is clearly a commentary on gender - on creating it, performing it. Sometimes, the work might not be too explicit; might only make itself clear after you understand yourself a little more, like The Matrix series. Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg’s return to bodies - if not to body horror - lies somewhere in-between the two. While Cronenberg seems to present the film as being obliquely about trans-ness - there are plenty of other ways to read it: on the role of the state; the precarious relationship between humanity and the environment; as a treatise on the history of performance art - the performance art couple at the centre of the film are exploring gender, in their work and lives, in a way that’s more explicit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/684014a1-4987-4974-b02f-191d64f82c52/crimes%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bfuture.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: In Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg Says Trans Rights - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/poppy-ajudhas-letter-to-her-younger-self monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1f072a4-1348-4fc4-ac03-175eaa7fb6eb/poppy697-2%2BCREDIT%2BLENNON%2BGREGORY.jpg Features - Poppy Ajudha’s Letter To Her Younger Self When we are young girls growing into women, other people's perspectives of us can guide how we see ourselves. We begin to construct our identities on everyone else's opinions, stereotypes and assumptions. Everyone has something to say about who or how we should be, what is appropriate for us to wear or how we should speak in order to be heard. This, compounded by the discovery of how our race, class or sexuality, further influences and intersects with these oppressive opinions, can make being a woman an exhausting task. Sometimes it means we become reflections of everyone around us, absorbing the conditioning of what it is to be a woman. This holds us back from our ultimate ability. You know this already, you feel it every day that you grow older but you’ll only really learn how to articulate it and then to fight it, as you meet new people and learn new ways to live and it will be a reoccurring topic of discussion throughout your life and work.

Despite the two-year break, the event held just as much history, self-expression and culture as ever. The carnival yearbook highlights how individual identity and style experimentation has always been an integral part of carnival festivities. The use of a yearbook format was no accident; it presents each individual as having their own personal style of expression while managing to maintain a sense of a larger community – just like these types of cultural events do. The styling and design of this shoot took inspiration from archive photographs of carnivals of the past: from Notting Hill-specific events of the early 90s and prior, to the original carnivals of Trinidad and the West Indies. The amalgamation of nostalgic style (with intricate hairstyles and cultural clothing) and contemporary London trends are documented beautifully within this photo series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e0b7be0a-cebe-4998-9b74-3424516456d4/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20224022.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02064c6e-c239-44fe-82cb-46d11347f1e3/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223895.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Model: @thea_smdj Top: River Island Tights: @sineadgoreylondon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1dfc3562-496e-41e4-acf0-2cb1acd1a349/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223780.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Model: @_baby_jess_x Top & Bottoms: @diamantibrand https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e86ece42-baca-4f30-813c-8c4fe5471d08/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223328.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c4ac9b4-6d57-4c61-8194-2bb28e76c641/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223793.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/406bdeb8-675e-46b7-9aae-de243a4c5e1e/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223283.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ade2af6-fc78-43b0-b129-a91aefabda3b/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223557%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Model: @thisisberniee Jumpsuit: @sineadgoreylondon Belly jewellery: @fpm_london_eyewear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9ef7bfe-ba9f-4391-b4b5-d95c32c89fd5/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223165.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Model: @wonderwomanintheflesh Catsuit: @yemzi Jewellery: @fpm_london_eyewear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7b71987-9d58-4ea5-88dc-c4d45943eb5a/RT_dancehall%2B-%2B20223200.jpg Features - Carnival Yearbook is a Celebration of Notting Hill - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/on-snooze-notes-on-patriarchy-pedantry monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/32213776-1d78-4199-bf24-f9e18a84d463/hit%2Bsnooze%2B2.png Features - ON SNOOZE - Notes On Patriarchy Pedantry The queen is dead and everyone is happy, But not you.

Newly appointed Prime Minister Liz Truss identifying as “Destiny’s Child feminist” for a sharable soundbite on BBC Politics Live. Endless doomscrolling. It aint looking good luv. But where do we even go from here? Polyester editor Eden sat down with Brooke Candy to try and find peace in the chaos of it all and to talk staying authentic in the ever changing face of internet subculture. Brooke Candy is a fan of the grandma lifestyle. You wouldn’t think so - She’s an intimidating figure. Her music is hyper-sexual and aggressively feminist, she’s covered head to toe in tiny tattoos that she’s spent 15+ years curating. But she’s an early riser, waking up at 6am most days and heading to her studio. Totally opposed to the debauched, Indie Sleaze days when the night would still be going til the morning after. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/53bb2db6-ebb7-4a62-96b0-2f377265d8bb/CA326865-9651-48F2-AA62-31B7A13DBC64.jpeg Features - Brooke Candy is Shifting the Vibe Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6943f6c0-bcd6-4654-86c6-4b0e363dd2da/527E805A-DFA8-413E-833C-8E64E9F61604.jpeg Features - Brooke Candy is Shifting the Vibe Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc7ffb13-99f5-4bc4-8faf-68fd283ff29f/9C10D93B-9E5D-4B8C-A37E-EB636936BED5.jpeg Features - Brooke Candy is Shifting the Vibe Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1fd2855-f3e3-4cf9-8a7c-67dc9dafc810/7921C864-28A8-461A-BBF1-F32ECC0B8E68.jpeg Features - Brooke Candy is Shifting the Vibe Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e22a9cc0-2ec7-4435-a4d9-bb11f843a8c6/Photo%2BSep%2B17%2C%2B7%2B38%2B55%2BPM.jpg Features - Brooke Candy is Shifting the Vibe Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48c5f96f-4059-4035-a44f-1ce50a3271fa/0CDB8184-3758-4E88-B659-2E2C8BF6A41C.jpeg Features - Brooke Candy is Shifting the Vibe Back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-manic-pixie-dream-whores-pt-2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9afacbe2-2c5d-46fd-906e-3bc5125733fb/qwc%2B2.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Manic Pixie Dream Whores Pt. 2 You could, if you wanted to, choose to see Sub Rosa as a metaphor for disassociation, a beautiful fantasy world born out of ‘The Dark’, designed to distract from the ‘darker’ realities of the job, a job which many orphans from a nearby convent school seem to find themselves in. But we are spared any trauma porn associated with child sex trafficking in this book, though it is alluded to. Really it’s a story about storytelling - the stories we tell ourselves to get by, the stories we sell to the world to get by, the stories we share with each other to get by. Storytelling can be both your lifeline and your downfall, depending on whose influence shapes your narrative. The book could also be accused of glamourising sex work (because Sub Rosa is painted as a wonderful, enviable place), just like how the MPDG can be accused of glamourising a more trite, unsubsantial form of womanhood. But sex work has to be glamourous sometimes, we need that. Sub Rosa (from Latin for ‘under the rose’, meaning secrecy) isn’t as simple as being a beautiful illusion which shatters to reveal an awful darkness. While ‘The Dark’ is full of secrets connected to the former identities of the Glories, such as their real names and how/why they ended up as working girls, the light of Sub Rosa keeps those secrets locked away. I don’t think that’s inherently bad - it represents a form of persistent hope, forged from the strength and will of these women, created by the power of their imagination and therefore, in many ways, very real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a025a100-a1ed-43db-8333-8ca6b47db027/qwc%2B1.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Manic Pixie Dream Whores Pt. 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/musings-from-a-retired-fanfiction-writer monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06ddcfb2-8d01-47f5-8725-e8b5f9839a5a/fanfic.png Features - Musings from a Retired Fanfiction Writer At thirteen years old, I was at my literary prime. Weekly, I found myself situated in the living room, small body on a large, faux-leather IKEA chair and eyes fixated on the bright family-computer screen. It was Thursday and the update to my story was due this weekend, which meant I desperately needed to get some writing done. With a thesaurus tab acting as my only steady source of companionship, I would sit there for hours on end, writing the chapter of my latest work of fanfiction. After concluding the week’s chapter with an author’s note (always something like: omg soooo sorry for the late update you guys! i had so much homework to do so this probably sucks. but i hope u like it!), some edits here and there, glances to the back to make sure that none of my family’s prying eyes would capture a glimpse of what I had been up to, my mouse would hover over the ‘publish’ button before clicking it. It would only be a matter of seconds until my notification bar is hoarded with updates: thousands of likes, comments, and reads come into view. I would lean back against the faux-leather, examining the analytics carefully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f38c024e-87ac-4578-a38e-b17aa26ad3ee/fan%2Bfic%2B2.png Features - Musings from a Retired Fanfiction Writer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-itching-coochie-diaries-how-i-snuck-into-nyfw-and-lived-to-tell-the-tale-pt-2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/219ce688-1252-4d01-9317-58051c42fead/FAB73033-2846-4E1E-A960-85884FB061A5.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 2) Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion around the democratization of fashion. It’s not a secret that fashion as a hobby has been exclusive and somewhat gatekept. Call me selfish, but I don’t want this article to be a part of that discourse. The actions I took to sneak into the shows weren’t meant to make political statements or spur societal critiques (even though these conversations may be inevitable). Everything I did was simply because I’m a girl who purely loves fashion and wanted to experience the art of it in person. With that being said, let’s pick up where we left off: In the line of my first ever NYFW experience, Bad Binch TONGTONG. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f4a4f7b6-bc2b-41e9-adf0-6e392dca0736/CB384BFF-75B7-46F7-867C-522D3D5EB461.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 2) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8dfec672-206e-41a5-b702-4156370af264/96E221C9-474E-48A3-9020-9B5DEFF9CB6C.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 2) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d77f4adf-f2f6-4418-8d7c-316da077fd69/13D3CC2E-A9F0-4387-8296-AAA147F34F6F.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 2) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-itching-coochie-diaries-how-i-snuck-into-nyfw-and-lived-to-tell-the-tale-pt-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ec9aed4-afd0-40b8-b37a-3c5143ea2a8d/D078AEC8-7E2B-4580-A5B0-DFE8FCDFF101.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 1) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0626db22-3c26-4b67-bf07-34f54ff6ffc8/A8214F96-BC74-47E5-8432-3311A4B96E53.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 1) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb474640-dbad-4bc6-b2d3-54bf187cf108/A8214F96-BC74-47E5-8432-3311A4B96E53.jfif Features - The Itching Coochie Diaries: How I Snuck Into NYFW And Lived To Tell The Tale (pt. 1) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-madonna-vs-blonde-whos-monroe-homage-is-better monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4023fa6b-d57b-4429-9758-df945b523e76/beauty%2Barchive%2Bmadonna%2B2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Madonna vs. Blonde - Who’s Monroe Homage is Better? On this cover of Vogue Spain 1990, under the headline ‘Superstar’, Madonna gives us a perfect rendition of one of her most iconic guises. Her hair is stiff and peaks upward, her eyeliner is winged, lips red, beauty spot in place. Her pearl white collar opens to almost her navel and around her neck she wears a truly American amount of diamonds. She is Marilyn Monroe, or rather, she is purely Madonna in her subversion of Monroe. To me this is a true deconstruction not a cosplay. If we pull apart the details there is so much text here to make this a rich and layered conversation between an icon and our cultural memory of another. A comment on fame and American culture, unlike just another of the many more exploitative Marilyn representations we are still obsessed with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e85a225d-c2f1-4fe2-b175-f1efdc213fba/beauty%2Barchive%2Bmadonna%2B1.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Madonna vs. Blonde - Who’s Monroe Homage is Better? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/charlotte-dos-santos-on-her-relationship-to-tarot monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dac2386b-bf41-4bb7-862b-41b2a25296ba/CDS%2B-%2BMORFO%2Balbum%2Bartwork%2B%281%29.png Features - Charlotte Dos Santos on Her Relationship to Tarot I have always been drawn to esotericism and the occult. Crystals, pendulums, card readers, mediums, dream interpreters - anything relating to these subjects, I am deeply interested in them. I first got introduced to it through my mother who always was fascinated with the same subjects so it has followed me throughout my life. I don’t practice any religion, but I have fused my own concoction of beliefs leaning somewhere between buddhism, astronomy and astrology. I got my first deck of tarot cards at a little shop in London. The original Rider-Waite Tarot deck. I had initially heard that a deck of tarot should be given to you and not be bought, but I had been waiting and a tarot deck was nowhere given to me, so I caved. I had previously received some angel cards by Doreen Virtue from my mother, which I had been using frequently, actually so much that the paper had come off the cards, so I felt as though it was time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8aa4e97c-0110-45bb-a95f-6c821b14c22b/Charlotte%2BDos%2BSantos%2B-%2BPhoto%2Bcredit%2BJeff%2BHahn%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Charlotte Dos Santos on Her Relationship to Tarot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-ellie-bleach-on-characterising-her-on-stage-style monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f1d8449-cb14-4066-b95e-fcd515a93fc3/ellie%2Bbleach%2B2.png Features - Glad Rags: Ellie Bleach on Characterising Her On Stage Style Get your glad rags on gang!

I am not a fan of the term “comfort show.” I think it’s babying and a little trite, but I do understand the concept behind it. It describes a television series, or film, or any piece of media that you revisit time and again because you enjoy it and you find solace in consuming it more than once. It’s like watching all the Hellraiser films every Halloween, or restarting your favourite series because you don’t fancy anything else on Netflix. There are certain movies I watch annually in order to recharge my artistic energies, to remind myself why I do what I do. I watch Querelle every summer, around Pride, for the intense intersection of Cocteau’s anarchic queer philosophy and Fassbinder’s sumptuous visuals. I watch All About Eve to remind myself how sparkling dialogue and witty epithets can act as a bridge between centuries, and to refresh my bank of pithy one-liners. I watch Showgirls every New Year’s Eve because it’s an incredible example of how the mixture of classic cinematic tropes (young star usurps old star, a la All About Eve or 42nd Street), big budget set pieces and a whole lot of kitsch trash can come together to create a truly transcendent viewing experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/985560e7-e135-4ad0-941b-ebed41ea3143/kill%2Byour%2Brapist%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Law and Order: SVU - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-serena-williams-changed-black-representation-forever monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3a739bfb-0015-4830-8796-34953dd66b98/serena%2B2.png Features - How Serena Williams Changed Black Representation Forever For a sassy little black boy growing up in the very white city of Melbourne, Serena Williams’ ascent to the top of the very white sport of tennis was wildly exciting. The first time I caught a glimpse of my queen was on a sweltering Australian summer’s day as I lazed beneath the aircon, half-watching the tennis. Through my afternoon lethargy, a teenage Serena came on screen – a vision in beaded hair and oversized Puma. My eyes lit up. For a preteen at the turn of the millenium, Serena’s fearless fashion and peppy self-confidence held a similar appeal to me as the Spice Girls, Cher from Clueless and the Charlie’s Angels reboot. Throughout my teenage years, Serena blossomed into a sporting equivalent of Beyonce: fierce, femme and flawless. In more recent times, she’s become an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez figure in my mind: a stable, comforting force in a world of chaos - a life-affirming symbol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/439ea205-6d3a-47f6-93e7-671986506aad/venus-serena-the-record-podcast-wertheim.jpg Features - How Serena Williams Changed Black Representation Forever - Make it stand out Venus and Serena in 1999 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/91dd98d6-3e1a-48ae-b361-13c3a056f631/tumblr_079ef5ac7e20f8630e992a3d5fd39aef_a0851ea9_1280.jpg Features - How Serena Williams Changed Black Representation Forever - Make it stand out 2004 in Juicy Couture https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sudan-archives-on-being-an-anime-character-and-influencing-the-next-pop-sound monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23bc0981-4763-45e5-a635-e8f1dca72b94/SudanArchives_credit%2BAlly%2BGreen%2B2.jpg Features - Sudan Archives On Being An Anime Character And Influencing The Next Pop Sound At the end of August, I headed down to All Points East to lose my voice screeching along to Caroline Polachek, drool at every single drummer on stage and see out festival season sobbing at James Blake singing a Joni Mitchell Cover.

Funny, then, that “random acts of kindness” are having a resurgence online, and that they are taking the form of ruthlessly senseless and totally banal solipsism. Forcing the logic of the internet world onto the material world has unsurprisingly unsavory results, and reproduces the trite and predictable context collapse that continues to divide us. Take the example of Tiktoker Harrison Pawluk: he’s gained a following of millions by videoing himself performing “random acts of kindness” and posting them online. A recent video of him asking an elderly woman sitting alone in a mall to hold a bouquet of flowers before walking off, all while her reaction was being filmed, racked up an astounding 12.5 million likes.

After the last few years of living through a pandemic, the steady removal of rights for underrepresented communities and global warming destroying the planet, it’s no wonder Millenials and Gen Z feel less than hopeful about the malaise lying ahead. Hence, media has done what it’s always done: comforted us, challenged us and shifted our perspective, bringing light to otherwise bleak times. That’s not to say there’s been a rise in how much emotional media is produced, but it makes sense that people’s engagement with work that challenges the heart rather than the head seems omnipresent. Certainly, the rise of Tumblr about a decade ago marked a turning point in how we discussed music, movies and television on social media. While early users posted pictures of their real lives on Instagram or tweeted literally what they were up to at any given moment, Tumblr allowed fans to build a content-rich world of their own obsession, bringing standom to a global scale while cementing the “sad girl” trope in our social media consciousness for the first time. Most importantly, no matter how niche your interest was, you could always find someone who shared your intense love for it – as well as your sense of humor about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7b0057ee-21f3-425e-b961-b79c76f5c44d/femcel%2B2.png Features - The Future Is…Femcel?: The Regressive Punchline of “Sad Girl” TikTok - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/art-rookie-how-art-and-literature-became-a-form-of-protest-at-shaheen-bagh monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aeb191cb-983f-41d2-aac0-fd9c7a0be057/zara%2B1.png Features - Art Rookie: How Art and Literature Became A Form of Protest at Shaheen Bagh When the women of Shaheen Bagh, a Muslim neighbourhood on the southern edge of Delhi, stepped out of their homes with their children and infant grandchildren in tow to occupy the roads and protest against the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) on December 15 2019, few would have guessed the monumental impact these Muslim women would have on the course of the country's politics.

Anyone who’s been to a souvenir shop in the UK will have seen it plastered garishly across mugs, teddy bears and general memorabilia, while those who fancy dressing as a walking advert for the monarchy can style themselves in clothes covered in the motif. While this isn’t an ordinary sight in everyday life, it’s becoming increasingly more common on Tik Tok. Search ‘Union Jack fashion’ on the app and you’ll be inundated with styling and OOTD videos where the famed flag is always the star piece – the #unionjack has over 20 million views alone. Bea Sandri (aka. baetriche on Tik Tok) is one of those users, having posted a video dubbed with the Skins theme tune of her in a Union Jack tank, styled with a pair of jeans (also stamped with the flag) while holding a noughties camcorder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04004349-f652-4d39-bbf1-9dd66971e1ca/union%2Bjack%2B1.png Features - What Union Jack Fashion Says About Today’s Youth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/davey-davis-on-their-novel-x-and-the-queerness-of-noir monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6d6f1a8-6954-4858-8f70-efe6b5ddffb2/alan%2Bkelly%2B1.png Features - Davey Davis on Their Novel X and the Queerness of Noir In the catalogue of noir literature, crime queer/Trans and Non-Binary authors are the proverbial needle in the haystack. I’ve always had an affinity for hardboiled fiction, a genre of writing I found very appealing and engrossing because it engages with violence, eroticism and human despair (often told in, it would seem, wonderfully garish Technicolor). It would be folly to say that there was "something of the night" about heavyweights such as Derek Raymond, Raymond Chandler, et al. Their vivid characters are people you may never want to meet but are captivating nonetheless. The worlds they move through are places where bodies lie rotting at the bottom of rivers. Places of cut-throat razors on skin, dead-eyed women walking cobbled streets in petrol blue shadows, cynical moonlight and the unrelenting amorous, often violent advances of Everyman. Bitter worlds of restless wantonness, fragile impulse and shattered ideals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fe2009ec-1953-4d8a-9ffc-7e361aac548d/alan%2Bkelly%2B2.png Features - Davey Davis on Their Novel X and the Queerness of Noir - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/feminist-filmmaking-peaked-with-women-in-prison-exploitation-films monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3109e3f4-b7b3-4f8d-a78c-6710380408bd/nicole%2B2.png Features - Feminist Filmmaking Peaked with Women-In-Prison Exploitation Films If you ask me, feminist filmmaking peaked with women-in-prison flicks. Sleazy spectacles as they may seem, few movie genres dared be as brutally revolutionary on the silver screen. Beginning as early as in the 1930s with ‘cautionary tales’, they blossomed into explicit exploitation pictures with the release of “Caged!” (1950). Although dismissed by Bette Davis as “a dyke movie”, the film’s raw depiction of a sweet pregnant girl who turns into a hard convict through her traumatic experiences in jail maintains relevance to this day. From then on, the genre’s entertainment value became a major selling point: sadistic wardens, criminal ladies and epic riots of every sort in B-budget productions too amusing to disappoint. These days, though, “WIP” films remain largely obscure; likely due to some of its more famous titles appearing so misogynistic at first look (e.g.”Women in Cages” or “Barbed Wire Dolls”). Either way, under the basis that these films are fundamentally feminist in the politics they holds, I want to dissect the genre as a whole - how its views were unusually radical and pro-women at distinctive times plus, frankly, why its movies simply rock! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b044926-e338-40ea-bd2b-3527fa2f40f5/nicole%2B1.png Features - Feminist Filmmaking Peaked with Women-In-Prison Exploitation Films - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/bassem-feghali-the-one-drag-queen-your-arab-father-liked monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b71649ea-4aeb-479f-933e-312745650652/Myriam%2BSkaf%2Bcollage%2B2.png Features - Bassem Feghali: The One Drag Queen Your Arab Father Liked There was a time in the 2000s where a drag artist entered every Lebanese household and was met with admiration and the utmost respect. In 2006, LBCI, a Lebanese TV, had Bassem Feghali do the Fawazeer, the most coveted show which aired during Ramadan, and people loved it. Fifteen years later, drag queen Kawkab Zuhal is asked trivial questions about her art and identity on the same channel. Did we go backwards? We didn’t necessarily go backwards. Maybe we didn’t progress much in the first place. To understand drag representation in Lebanese traditional media, we have to realize how Arabs saw Bassem.

The heat waves are rampant too. I’ve spent most days laying on my bed watching the sun through the trees, thinking about ordering a fan and then thinking about financial losses that would cause me. I compromise and sit in the garden, fully in the shade by 5pm. A car alarm goes off and a dog barks. I find myself yearning for a road trip with a distant lover. Get me out of here, now. Badlands (1973) is the pinnacle sad girl heat wave summer flick. Sissy Spacek plays Holly, a teenage girl with a countryfied dissociative pout - surprisingly nonchalant about the handsome and older Kit (Martin Sheen) taking her along on a murder spree across the state. Holly’s monotone voice narrates the film, she observes her surroundings with an innocence but also a quiet awareness: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/08a1fe73-9ea7-4932-b63b-223cffd72abd/badlands1.png Features - Film Fatale: Watching Badlands During a Heatwave - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/isabella-lovestory-on-movies-and-making-music-on-her-own-terms monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e8a759f1-0d8c-4304-8d02-2be3d10a87bc/isabella%2B6.png Features - Isabella Lovestory on Movies and Making Music on Her Own Terms Multi-genre spanning, hyper energy exuding Honduran born pop princess Isabella Lovestory is on the path to dominate pop music and shape the future of reggaeton.

I saw a lot of the ways in which I write, the page briefly becoming a mirror, as Alabanza stopped to acknowledge what kind of book None of the Above would be. Or, more importantly, what kind of book it wouldn’t be. At the heart of None of the Above is an act of refusal that feels distinctly queer and, even more so, distinctly trans. In the prologue to the book, Alabanza writes that this is a book “without the end goal being understanding” something that, even now, feels like something radical - a continual challenge to both the need, and goal of representation. None of the Above, as its final chapter title implies, is for us baby, not for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/537ca3e4-8344-4881-8808-d28deae5851c/travis2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: None of the Above Refuses An Easy Approach To Transness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/annie-lord-and-ione-gamble-on-vulnerability-writing-for-irl-and-the-influencerification-of-writers monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8739c8a4-a639-4164-af36-7ae290cee872/ione%2Bannie%2B2.png Features - Annie Lord and Ione Gamble on Vulnerability, Writing for IRL and the ‘Influencerification’ of Writers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa05bc68-1450-46f0-b361-5b70b52035aa/ione%2Bannie%2B1.png Features - Annie Lord and Ione Gamble on Vulnerability, Writing for IRL and the ‘Influencerification’ of Writers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/body-neutrality-does-not-solve-desirability-politics monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a672d412-ad3e-42e1-bf08-773d485d9958/body%2B1.png Features - Body Neutrality does not Solve Desirability Politics Our bodies are juggled between endless cycles of clothing trends and insincere mottoes — stocked and lined up on racks at Target and Victoria's Secret — never our own, forever a corporate ornament. Despite our efforts to escape the relentless clutches of body politics and its onset industrial complex, the algorithm never fails to introduce us to ‘wellness’ trends promoted as the one true solution to body politics and fatphobia. The absolute and unrealistic pressure on people to love themselves transformed the body positivity movement into a toxic, profit-driven business opportunity. Emphasising consumer culture as the solution to the body-image issue warped the body positivity movement into yet another capitalist scheme. Therefore, many people, notably activists and scholars, sought a new direction. Though we have begun criticising the cloying and exclusionary traits attributed to toxic body positivity, the following trend of body neutrality is not necessarily the solution either. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/make-ups-next-big-trend-new-gen-frosts monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8fab077-a2b6-4287-ab27-a1ab6c042269/new%2Bgen%2Bfrosts3.jpg Features - Make-Ups Next Big Trend: New Gen Frosts Icy, fine-glittered, cool tones feel subversive when contrasted against the ubiquitous warm eye shadow palettes of the last several years.

I picked this shoot, “into the spotlight” Vogue 2004 by Nick Knight and makeup by Val Garland, because of the impact it had on me when I first saw it, at the cusp of teenage. The cover stars Gemma Ward and Lily Cole were both THE girls and to me totally embodied fashion and beauty. But now, refreshing myself, it’s this photo of Tiiu Kuik that stands out to me as having survived the last 18 years the best. Everything about this look feels extremely current again, it looks like a transplant from 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/adf2e430-165f-41bd-9499-41af50b56f13/grace%2B2.png Features - Beauty Archivist: Into The Spotlight - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-manic-pixie-dream-whores-pt-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbc4c57d-65b3-4d1a-b2e4-5b2cd3676c36/image3A31353_Glitch3.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Manic Pixie Dream Whores Pt. 1 The 'manic pixie dream girl' (MPDG) trope and its discussion have been done to death - ironic, given its premise is that she was never realistically 'alive' in the first place. Its author, film critic Nathan Rabin, coined the term after watching Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown (2005), saying the MPDG "exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." And yes, the phrase was born during a wave of such films, for example, Natalie Portman in Zach Braff's Garden State (2004) and then, later, 500 Days of Summer (though this is said to more critically portray the pitfalls of an idealistic, objectifying male gaze). By 2014, Rabin was a self-identified Dr Frankenstein, referring to the MPDG and her now many uses and iterations (often misogynistically hurled at female actors rather than the characters they played) as an "unstoppable monster", calling for her to be retired and "put to rest". However, she hasn't gone anywhere; she's rejected her creator entirely and now roams freely anywhere from Tinder bios to Guardian long reads to antifeminist subreddits. As in the old literary tradition, her author has died. There's a certain poetry in the fact she's no longer caged within her intended definition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/657110fe-98c6-482d-99c5-b17516a6a4b5/57108_Glitch.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Manic Pixie Dream Whores Pt. 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/360cd086-3c17-4556-9e4d-46c34c1cf4ee/image3A31647_Glitch.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Manic Pixie Dream Whores Pt. 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sicksadgirlz-how-to-date-as-sick-sad-girl monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb0af18a-18ab-4ff3-bf44-6b0f0b255f2c/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%287%29+%281%29.png Features - Sick Sad Girlz: How To Date As Sick Sad Girl In this modern age of dating, post-pandemic (or maybe still in a pandemic, I cannot tell anymore), especially as a sick, sad girl, online dating apps open up various options that would have been way harder for girls like us to access. I barely get out of bed when I am unwell, let alone hang around places I may meet an eligible single to date. But how do we approach our sick, sad girl status when it comes to chatting and dating online? Annoyingly, this comes down primarily to personal preference and comfort level. It depends where you are in your sick, sad journey and honouring that feeling of how much you want to share! Personally, I know this is a thing that has felt in flux for me. Some days I want to tell everyone everything, and some days I am anti-the thought of anyone knowing anything personal about me. So see what feels right to you in the moment and how you feel about the actual person you are talking to. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-linda-lindas-on-their-new-record-ageing-amp-communitynbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e85c5146-6d46-4d53-9459-ee470d3fabfd/TLL37.jpg Features - The Linda, Lindas on Their New Record, Ageing &amp; Community&nbsp; If you haven’t heard of The Linda Lindas, where the hell have you been?

Slice of Life dramas and shows about characters in their 20s to early 30s navigating the highs and lows that come their way have always interested me. Living through their portrayals has served as a source of fantasy for me. Who wouldn’t want to live in the world of Zoe Kravitz’s Rob as she meanders through her New York neighbourhood in High Fidelity? It’s cathartic to be able to switch off reality and fall in love with a cast of characters going through rites of passage not too dissimilar from yourself. So when BBC One’s new drama Everything I Know About Love was available in its entirety on BBC iPlayer, I binged the series in one weekend. Based on the book of the same name by Dolly Alderton, the source material was praised for it’s realistic portrayal of post university, twenty somethings finding their way through friendships, work and sex with London serving as the backdrop. After a few minutes in, however, I realised this realism wasn’t a staple of the adapted drama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67f8e011-6f6c-4cd5-bbf2-004cbf6a741c/city%2Bliving%2B2.png Features - Why is City Living Never Properly Represented on Screen? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rachel-sennott-is-living-laughing-amp-loving monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cd592b61-7a29-45b9-8588-f37798c8c948/RACHEL%2BCOVER%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving “I feel like I blinked, and my life is completely different”, Rachel Sennott tells me over zoom; having just woken up in New York, jet-lagged, following a quick trip to Rome for costume fitting and rehearsals.

I’m talking to Rachel the day before her latest project, A24’s slasher-whodunnit Bodies Bodies Bodies, has its premiere. She’s in New York as a visitor rather than the self-confessed New Yorker she used to be. She’s doing press, attending screenings, and working on the edit of her next film. It all feels a lot more serious than her previous years living here, the ones spent attending NYU and building a huge following on Twitter for her short-form comedy sketches filmed on her phone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e00599e8-f951-49d0-a554-e189fe662eba/Screenshot%2B%28207%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5b2f642f-6ead-4377-95af-575da5870c3d/Screenshot%2B%28205%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c053da06-ce02-4792-ac89-93f473885583/Screenshot%2B%28208%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/be413ded-41ee-4521-986b-b3b29b6daa4d/Screenshot%2B%28209%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5edc26f6-7670-45eb-81fd-c30d325f039e/Screenshot%2B%28210%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc1d62fa-9f1e-48b1-8c9c-be90823fbb1d/Screenshot%2B%28213%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d02b313-4dd6-437e-8f5d-500d689cc18f/Screenshot%2B%28212%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f135d901-de47-46b5-af77-067c1f27740c/Screenshot%2B%28214%29.png Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e309aba-baf1-4588-9f95-f8af48303326/Rachel_21%2B%281%29%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce6ae528-2290-4d8e-9379-2ed7e3ad6237/Rachel_24%2B%281%29%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Rachel Sennott is Living, Laughing &amp; Loving - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ode-to-my-iphone-how-having-my-iphone-pickpocketed-released-my-inner-cyborg monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67137c4d-ab51-4f83-93a9-a7361986857d/iphone%2B2.png Features - Ode To My iPhone: How Having My iPhone Pickpocketed Released My Inner Cyborg In 2004 at the age of ten, I was gifted my first mobile phone, the Siemens A51. It had a curved silhouette with a light-up keypad and I begged my parents intermittently to buy me £10 credit top-ups so I could excitedly text my friends. I owned many phones over the years, mostly second-hand and majoritively clunky with stickers all over them. I distinctly remember the panicked feeling of accidentally clicking on the ‘Wireless Application Protocol’ button, subsequently seeing the loading symbol and frantically pressing BACK to refrain from browsing the costly and elusive internet. Upon finally getting my Nokia 6300 at the age of 13, I channelled my main character energy and spend hours with the phone propped up on my desk recording various performances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7187e7bc-b9aa-4718-a398-2eacaf835222/iphone%2B1.png Features - Ode To My iPhone: How Having My iPhone Pickpocketed Released My Inner Cyborg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-quiet-feminism-of-chick-lit monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e16708ee-4971-4aac-bc63-e5dc1a272fcf/chick%2Blit%2B2.png Features - The Quiet Feminism of Chick Lit I’m a writer. A novelist, to be precise, which was always a dream of mine. Ever since childhood, reading has brought a crazy amount of joy into my life. Books were an escape - firstly in the form of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five adventures and later through the cult (and with hindsight incredibly problematic) Sweet Valley series. These were the gateway drug, the precursor to the books I’ve greedily devoured over the past twenty-five years. You’re probably familiar with the term ‘chick lit’. It’s long been used in a derogatory fashion by the publishing industry and mainstream media to describe commercial contemporary fiction written and read predominantly by women. That’s what I read. That’s what I write. These novels don’t get considered by the authorities who award The Booker Prize. They’re rarely found on the literary front tables in Waterstone’s store across the UK. That these books are also described as ‘fluff’, ‘light reads’ and ‘guilty pleasures’ tells you everything you need to know. Chick lit doesn’t command respect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7247881-e5ef-4631-b76d-6abfeaeb4563/chick%2Blit%2B1+%281%29.png Features - The Quiet Feminism of Chick Lit - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/proteus-effect-editorial monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8165a872-7d50-4bd6-82c4-8508a38949c7/Proteus_Effect_I.jpg Features - Proteus Effect Editorial Proteus Effect I: An altar fills the frame, containing a coiled snake, 3 stacked blob-like forms referencing stone cairns, a butterfly on a round mirror, a miniature laptop, an elastic tube and the moon tarot card. The flamboyantly colored items are positioned on an orange acrylic surface which sits atop a dizzying collage of abstracted imagery. Proteus Effect describes a phenomenon where virtual stimuli mold and dictate an individual’s self-representation and perception; where a person’s cultivated virtual self (their avatar) and its set of idiosyncrasies inversely influences their behaviors. Derived from the Sanskrit word avatra, meaning “descent,” the term avatar first appeared in English in 1784 to mean an incarnation or human appearance of a deity, particularly Vishnu. From that celestial origin, the term’s meaning expanded beyond the religious and sacred, to signify an embodiment, or object of worship. Building speculative paracosms through photographic processes, I approach character creation as resistance, tapping into the folk, ancestral past for cultivating bold imaginaries. Through these images, I explore facets of the digital self navigating a malleable reality while being cognizant and critical of power structures that are encoded within technology that’s pervasive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/58af8426-d68e-4f3a-9574-6b794f5c983e/Screenshot%2B%28202%29.png Features - Proteus Effect Editorial - Make it stand out Proteus Effect II: Layered portrait of Nova A; they appear pensive as their head arches to the left with a superimposed grid of small, square images of their fragmented and dissolving self-portraits appears on top, amalgamating together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1c2b93c-3c30-4010-ab8c-1ed2511e7581/Proteus_Effect_III.jpg Features - Proteus Effect Editorial - Make it stand out Proteus Effect III: Nova A's hands gently clutch a miniature laptop while typing on its keyboard, a red rectangle appears hovering in the middle of the black screen.

Mad pride came back with a vengeance this year, with a bed dash protest taking place on Thursday 14th July in Parliament Square. Simply put, four self-proclaimed ‘lunatics’ ran down the street with a person in a hospital bed, simulating breaking out of a psych ward. They also took cake to a local psych unit in the hopes that inpatients there would be able to celebrate their shared differences, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/177ef8d4-9a78-40fb-b32e-04bd4e89c4b3/mad%2Bpride%2B11+%281%29.png Features - Mad Pride: What Is It, and Why Is It Back? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/spot-the-difference-hot-girl-nightstand monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4e2251a2-773f-4aa1-af0f-f6fb849a40fc/hot%2Bgirl%2Bnight%2Bstand%2Bispy-01.jpeg Features - Spot the Difference: Hot Girl Nightstand Last year, it was a trend on Tik Tok to show your “hot girl night stand” or “hot girl side table,” and I think it was such a thing because your night stand or side table houses such a wide array of essential items and can vary so much from person to person. I also think the condition of your night stand can be a good reflection of maybe what’s going on in your mental or emotional world, and I thought it would be interesting to make a piece inspired by a picture I took of my own night stand when things were feeling a bit chaotic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/225475f9-b167-41f7-8334-2d896fc6e016/hot%2Bgirl%2Bnight%2Bstand%2Bispy-02.jpeg Features - Spot the Difference: Hot Girl Nightstand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf671098-259a-4a46-9853-b26891c50da8/hot%2Bgirl%2Bnight%2Bstand%2Bispy-03.jpeg Features - Spot the Difference: Hot Girl Nightstand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ca0b08c-7159-4390-871d-ceee5c1ff054/hot%2Bgirl%2Bnight%2Bstand%2Bispy-04.jpeg Features - Spot the Difference: Hot Girl Nightstand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff3349bf-8bdc-4f96-94ac-faed00cbecff/hot%2Bgirl%2Bnight%2Bstand%2Bispy-05.jpeg Features - Spot the Difference: Hot Girl Nightstand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-kate-bushs-running-up-that-hill-relates-to-my-chronic-illness monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c96d1617-25e6-4891-8e92-c5fb3f947634/kate%2Bbush%2B2.jpg Features - How Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill Relates to My Chronic Illness Kate Bush’s music has always been a calling card for a certain sort of unusual. When her voice first wound its way onto the airwaves with Wuthering Heights in 1978, no one else sounded like her. I’ve been obsessed with her since my parents played their VHS of Live at Hammersmith Odeon to an energetic toddler determined to recreate her abstract dance style. More recently, Instagram accounts like @wileywindymemes have tapped into an audience of over 13 thousand followers who are united by a love of Kate Bush and who just so happen to relate to a certain sort of outsider humour. The past three months have seen the hit TV show Stranger Things popularised Bush far beyond even that crowd. Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) has hit number one, something it didn’t manage to achieve in the USA or even the UK upon its first release in 1985. In an interview from the year the single was released, Bush herself says the song describes the tragedy of a couple who love each other so much, their love prevents them from understanding each other. Yet Running Up That Hill is not your regular break up song. Bush recently said in an interview with BBC Woman’s Hour that she really likes people to hear her songs and take from it what they want. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88dd74c6-4473-4744-9cc4-f2ff583d553d/kate%2Bbush%2B1.jpg Features - How Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill Relates to My Chronic Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ritual-comfort-and-quality-time-why-i-still-value-trashy-tvnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e4675324-2df7-4337-b3cf-8332719fe189/trash%2Btv%2B2.jpg Features - Ritual, Comfort and Quality Time: Why I Still Value Trashy TV&nbsp; If you’ve ever been sucked into the neon pink flush of a Love Island obsession — eagerly or reluctantly — its opening credits will be hardwired into your brain. A bouncy theme tune that, in any other setting, would feel completely generic. Maybe even annoying. A dance beat backdrop for a food delivery service ad. But you sink into your sofa and it sounds like comfort and the promise of low-stakes, high-drama romance, sparking a dopamine hit like your favourite song. Patron saint of high-drama romance John Green once wrote of falling in love like you would fall asleep: “slowly and then all at once”. Getting sucked into a series of Love Island is no different. Between the big feelings and tiny outfits, we're hooked not only by emotional attachment to relationships and circular ‘what are we?’ chats, but the ritual and routine of sitting down to watch them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97e0c65c-bb4a-4166-993a-442c6f5daaad/trash%2Btv%2B1.jpg Features - Ritual, Comfort and Quality Time: Why I Still Value Trashy TV&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/creative-abundance-in-a-time-of-desperation monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94126d55-16c8-4da4-8462-22f2652650b0/crafts%2B2.jpg Features - Creative Abundance in a Time of Desperation The ley lines that run currents beneath my feet drag me back to Brisbane again and again. Three months ago the roots we planted in Brisbane were ripped up by a flood that carried us to Hervey Bay and back again. I used to think I was a sentimental person, but the only things I miss are my diaries, the millions of words I carved into tree pulp with the scalpel of my pen. I dug my best and worst selves into the pages over the last ten years; the people I was are gone now, and I have nothing but my spotty memory to remind me of who they were. This month we’re vegetising in the Sunny Coast mountains. Next week, who knows? Sure enough, we’ll head back to Brisbane, with everything we own packed into our red Mitsubishi, Abaddon - the canopy of hope, the last of it we have - hanging over our heads like the trees in the rainforests surrounding us. Distrustful and weary, how am I to do the one thing I was put on this earth for? It’s in my bones to create. Like the water that nourishes my body and my wife’s touch keeping my heart full, I have to do it to survive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3bd59fe0-a6c4-4a33-b0c9-ed9d1556c261/crafts%2B1.jpg Features - Creative Abundance in a Time of Desperation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-jodie-harsh-on-subverting-gender-in-fashion monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/63efcc96-af2c-4e4a-8ef7-7a4c41082c09/jodie%2Bharsh.jpg Features - Glad Rags: Jodie Harsh on Subverting Gender in Fashion Get your glad rags on gang!

Sort of. Well, actually, I guess in many ways lots of things are actually getting a lot worse, the rising heat of our climate being one of them, but some things are healing. This year marked the extremely welcome (physical) return of Trans Pride, both in London and Brighton, and it has never felt more vital. Despite not being reported on by the mainstream press, well over 20,000 people turned up for each event and showed us all that thousands of people do care about the rights of trans and non-binary people, and that support feels spectacularly affirming. I have been attending Brighton Trans Pride (the first of its kind) since 2015, back when it was just in a small garden park off St James street, with a couple of poets on microphones and an after party in the upstairs room of a bar. That party was, incidentally, one of the most euphoric moments of my life, where I danced completely naked on stage to Don’t Leave Me This Way by The Communards and received rapturous applause from a cheering audience. I wrote about this experience in a previous Culture Slut column about nightclubs, but it bears repeating. I have loved Trans Pride ever since. It has swelled exponentially, but it has never grown in to the bloated corporate corpse that Pride has, maintaining its grass-roots activism, community support and celebration of trans existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f0f2b9c-27be-473c-b6b6-841a3ef51c18/silencio%2Brecovered%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Trans Pride has Finally Returned - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/art-rookie-in-the-tug-of-war-between-art-and-commerce-did-frida-kahlo-ever-stand-a-chancenbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cfa7818d-d3a4-4c96-bcb2-dbf8339ec42f/art%2Brookie%2B2.jpg Features - Art Rookie: In The Tug of War Between Art and Commerce, Did Frida Kahlo Ever Stand a Chance?&nbsp; Loving Frida Kahlo is a rite of passage. Or at least that's what it felt like in the late 2010s when the artist became an unwilling symbol (amongst many) of the fourth-wave feminist movement. Her self-portraits were as ubiquitous as fake blood and glitter on tampons within our collective visual consciousness. It's easy to get swept up in the widespread affection for Frida Kahlo - her personal life was emotionally charged and marked by trauma - confusing the quality of the art with her identity as a female artist. She became the icon that the mainstream movement overly concerned with identity politics and "girl power" needed. Kahlo's image and identity became a holy grain for marketing agencies looking to harp on the popularity of liberal feminism on social media. Kahlo garnered cult status throughout the 20th century. She was initially introduced to popular culture by feminists in the 1970s and '80s, who touted her as a forgotten female artist of the times. Within a neoliberal cultural context, historians and cultural critics often fall into a pattern of reducing their analysis of paintings to the artist's identity rather than their politics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/014fb27f-526a-440c-9cdf-708b7526e446/self-portrait-along-the-boarder-line-between-mexico-and-the-united-states.jpeg Features - Art Rookie: In The Tug of War Between Art and Commerce, Did Frida Kahlo Ever Stand a Chance?&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6796e4e7-7b04-41c5-9b60-3c2e939d2f34/art%2Brookie%2B2%2B2.jpg Features - Art Rookie: In The Tug of War Between Art and Commerce, Did Frida Kahlo Ever Stand a Chance?&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/taryn-oreilly-amp-the-monstrous-feminine monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c97380a6-7a43-4d56-b261-5e99ce301ccf/QCF%2BTaryn%2Bcover.jpg Features - Taryn O'Reilly &amp; The Monstrous Feminine Taryn O’Reilly is a sculptor, an academic and the winner of our Queer Creative Fund 2022 in collaboration with Monki. This project aims to bring Queer creatives’ voices to the front, and we are honoured to have our July cover created by and through Taryn’s feminist and queer lens. The overarching theme of this cover can be described in two words: Queer Feast. “I call it Glory Guts,” Taryn tells me, “My goal is to recreate a scene that emphasises my social anxieties surrounding the idealisation of home. When I think about what makes a home, I keep gravitating towards the idea of a table being at the centre of it. However, when I began looking at the symbolism of the table from a queer lens, it became a more loaded image.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f5dfc345-bc7e-4a96-97f1-09055416ac72/_MG_6829.jpg Features - Taryn O'Reilly &amp; The Monstrous Feminine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c0587531-e263-4347-8b32-90eb5db6e00c/_MG_6848_edit.jpg Features - Taryn O'Reilly &amp; The Monstrous Feminine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9614e1a4-a0ec-4a55-9bd1-8642748c7c9c/_MG_6931_1080x1360.jpg Features - Taryn O'Reilly &amp; The Monstrous Feminine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7b06f82-b8fc-4b95-9b1f-6e28503ba400/_MG_6855_edit+%281%29.jpg Features - Taryn O'Reilly &amp; The Monstrous Feminine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bfd1855a-e412-47fd-96b8-519e1b83e0cb/_MG_6901_edit.jpg Features - Taryn O'Reilly &amp; The Monstrous Feminine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-i-told-my-parents-that-im-a-sex-worker monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aec716f7-9cc6-45f5-b1cc-fefb907a4545/qcf%2Bcloser.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: I Told My Parents That I'm a Sex Worker I told my parents that I'm sex working.

The pity in their words, and how they treated me as if I couldn't possibly know what's best for me. The hypocrisy was disgusting. As if none of them had ever participated in sex work. As if they had never watched, yet alone wanked over, porn. And my dignity?

That’s right, the Polyester Team were lucky enough to be invited along to document the 50th Roskilde Festival 2022! The festival itself is held over eight days and has a focus on art and activism as well as music. While activist perspectives can often feel like an add on to events in our current climate where corporations co-opt activism, at Roskilde it was firmly baked into the fabric of the festival. On the practical side of things, the food stalls listed the carbon used in each meal, reusable cups were used throughout the festival and festival goers were encouraged to use shuttle trains to arrive at the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68be4ee7-38c2-4ec8-83fa-cb6d7e12acd5/Roskilde1.jfif Features -

Agony Al: What’s a Siren Eye? What’s a Doe Eye? Why are They Fighting? Am I Too Old for TikTok? If you’ve used Tik Tok in the last couple of weeks, you’ve probably seen a variation of the Doe vs Siren Eyes video. My feed is FULL of influencers cutting between simple makeup looks that totally alter the look of their face and, apparently, bring out opposing sides of a personality: a bright, wided Doe Eyed look versus upturned, sharp and sultry Siren Eyes. There’s probably layers of weird, pedophilia and orientalism to unpack here … Is the youthful, wide-eyed gaze of doe eye makeup linked to patriarchal society’s fetishisation of youth? Is the siren eye another iteration of the fox eye trend, a makeup look that appropriates and exoticises upturned eyes as sexy and mysterious? (Side note: check out the podcast for a deep dive on siren eyes from Halima and Ione!) or am I just another out of touch millennial trying to assign deeper meaning to social media trends? On a surface level, it’s just pretty incredible to see how you can completely change the look of your eyes and face simply by applying your eye makeup. Check out my tutorial on both of these eye looks and decide for yourself which is ya fav! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61db5783-00e0-4eae-9433-d05013649365/2+%284%29.jpg Features - Agony Al: What’s a Siren Eye?

A book with all the splatterpunk trappings of Jack Ketchum spliced with the deadly, elegant edge of Caitlín R. Kiernan and the socio-political bent of Margaret Atwood, Manhunt is a genre-defying gallimaufry of monstrosity, cis-matriarchal orders, Trans/Queer warriors, estrogen harvesting, and dystopian cults. Packaged with more than enough violent grit, sex, and squirm-inducing shocks to appeal to even the most jaded of horror aficionados. The novel has been hailed by genre writers and critics alike as one of the finest novels published in years and the first mainstream horror novel from a trans female author. Not that we’d want to blow smoke up a writer’s ass, but with Manhunt, Gretchen Felker-Martin has deftly earned her place alongside the forefathers of thought-provoking, cleverly crafted transgressive fare. Her writing sits (un)comfortably beside work from the likes of A.M Holmes, Joyce Carol Oates, Octavia Butler, and Kathy Acker. In this interview, we talk intersectional politics colliding with transgressive horror, how Cronenbergian body horror informed Manhunt, monster metaphors, the end of the world, and fucking on J.K. Rowling’s grave… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4ecf0c5f-72c9-4fc3-a202-bcb847e9bb44/manhut%2Bcollage.png Features - Gretchen Felker-Martin on Creating Successful Trans Horror - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nmsim1fw0b9tf6q2bga5qfzp1ddeme monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b0c9c612-a8cf-416c-882c-7916879a3702/12.png Features - Sugar Coma is the Editorial Taking Food Photography to the Next Level ‘Sugar Coma' is dedicated to the theme of sustainability.

On my way I walk past one of the two Fortuny shops and I can't stop myself from going in. Fortuny is an exclusive fashion house famous for its interior decor and textiles, including its collection of dresses made from pleated silk to look like the garments worn by Greek statues. They were a favourite of Casati, and I have been receiving their e-newsletter for a few years now, daydreaming about buying a Delphos dress or a velvet kimono jacket. The shop is silent, with only one very chic assistant folding scarves. I walk to the rack of clothes and just look, not touching anything. Eventually she asks if I’d like to try anything on. I almost say yes but chicken out at the last minute, I know I’ll never be able to afford anything I really want. I ask if I can take pictures and she smiles and shakes her head. I stop to look at a book on my way out. I have a birthday coming up, maybe if it’s good enough I can treat myself. It’s very thick with lots of pictures but is actually quite dull, focusing on the textile production side of the design, not the fantasy and imagination of the clothes. I leave with nothing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/688a8879-c326-4538-ab9c-ca119fa3d047/misha%2Bvenice%2Bpt%2B2%2B2.png Features - Eat, Gay, Love: Romanticising Myself in Venice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-what-stranger-things-gets-wrong-about-nostalgia monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/59af42c4-dad3-4cad-be21-8510d3ec8d32/stranger%2Bthings%2B1.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What Stranger Things Gets Wrong About Nostalgia Whenever I think about nostalgia, I think about Mad Men. How at the end of the show’s first season, when he’s pitching Kodak, Don Draper calls it “the pain from an old wound.” Nostalgia, in ways that are both explicit, or working under the surface, has been an increasingly popular way to create and sell culture - whether that nostalgia is about pain, or instead, offering someone a more rose-tinted view of their own childhood, or an era that they might have wanted to experience. Seeing Fran Lebowitz in conversation, she bemoaned the ways in which people talked about nostalgia; always wanting to grow up in New York in the 70s or 80s, looking back at an imagined past, and the life that may have emerged from it. One of the shows that’s most able to understand that visceral feeling of nostalgia, both first and second-hand, is the Netflix blockbuster Stranger Things. Whether or not its accurate to the 80s itself doesn’t matter when it comes to what the show wants to do, and how it makes its portrait of a time that may or may not have been. Because the nostalgia of Stranger Things isn’t informed by the 80s themselves, but by the pop culture that made the 80s look like the 80s for a generation raised a generation afterwards: it’s why the show is so indebted to Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Stephen King - the latter with the strange, homicidal bullies that populate the fourth season, and who only seem to exist in Stephen King stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61acb8eb-e0a8-4cae-b8cd-73f482d3f473/stranger%2Bthings%2B2.png Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: What Stranger Things Gets Wrong About Nostalgia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nkmkt197c68swa0sn23gyjk2ayuzqo monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/464857c9-8bc1-40e4-8bd4-72c0c1556e56/barca%2Bcollage.png Features - Grace's Guide to Eating, Sleeping and Partying in Barcelona and Sitges Barcelona is everyone's favourite city break for obvious reasons: A quick flight from London, the best music festivals, guaranteed sunshine and of course, a beach. But have you been to Sitges? A mere half hour train from Barcelona (and the majority of the trains on the continent are air conditioned and luxurious, no cramming onto the sweaty tube here!), Sitges is known for its queer scene with lots of LGBTQ+ nightlife and not one…not two…but three! gay beaches. Gorgeous! I was lucky enough to be invited to stay with ME by Melia Hotels in Barcelona and Sitges for a few days in both, the perfect grey weather blues curing trip! Both hotels were in excellent locations. I was smack bang in the middle of the beautiful tree-lined bustling centre of Barcelona and then relocated to the more chilled surroundings of Sitges complete with a pool and a beach view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1264355b-5bb0-431d-acd5-03630ff7b8c6/sitges%2Bcollage.png Features - Grace's Guide to Eating, Sleeping and Partying in Barcelona and Sitges - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-moonchild-sanelly-on-the-importance-of-musicians-style monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a94f0d0-b805-43dd-94ae-2cf40e2a3a04/glad%2Brags%2Bmoonchild.png Features - Glad Rags: Moonchild Sanelly on the Importance of Musician's Style Get your glad rags on gang!

Although the film is set in 1960s France, the journey of lead character Anne (played by Anamaria Vartolomei) attempting to access a termination when it is dangerous physically and legally for her to do so is an extremely empathetic story. Below, we enlisted three journalists to discuss the relevance of the film, its important themes and how it relates to current discussions of abortion injustice.

You asked: How do I embrace Hot Girl Summer energy without doing any hot girl activities?! You know those “expectation vs reality” memes that resurface online in different iterations every couple of months? That feels like a pretty apt explanation of our relationship to the infamous ideals of the “Hot Girl Summer”. Like most things that get swept up in the cultural lexicon, what started out as a version of the “fuck you I’m gonna do what I want” movement (we love), has since conveniently started to fall into the clutches of the same old capitalistic/patriarchal/[insert oppressive structure here] narrative, and become yet another marketed aesthetic for us to hopelessly aspire to (we hate.)

Several girls at this party were friends. There was no mistaking them for being anything else. In fact, one might go so far as to say that they were best friends. They performed their friendship with the kind of second-skin devotion native to Method actors (Jared Leto’s version excluded here). The evening was lovely as it was fated to be, because everyone – the birthday boy, his girlfriend, and her friends, the best of friends – remained exquisitely in character the whole night. By this, I mean not that they were fraudulent (commonly and mistakenly deployed as synonymous with “in character”), but that they seemed to naturally understand and obey the collective weight lent by their friendship to the social success of the evening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ed69d0a-d9ee-49a6-9c98-f7a33bb28d01/girls%2Bparties%2B2.jpg Features - Party Favours: Notes on the Intricacies of Female Friendship - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-forever-politics-of-my-beautiful-laundrette monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1b684ce-3eec-43ad-9576-0858ae99c8c4/MBL%2B1.jpg Features - The Forever Politics of My Beautiful Laundrette Queer cinema, as a cultural arts movement, is inherently political. The sheer nature of an LGBTQIA+ production is definitive of intense dissatisfaction with the status quo in which said film presents itself. Indirect or not, queer cinema has always been adamant in its attempts to illustrate social injustices through narrative storytelling and revolutionary foregrounding of its subjects – whether a justified attack on the workings of a right-wing autocracy, or the fragile heteronormative understandings of gender and sexuality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ed2fd6e-89c8-4bcc-9d21-ca80dbfa0938/MBL%2B2.jpg Features - The Forever Politics of My Beautiful Laundrette - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/eat-gay-love-visiting-dead-icons-in-venice monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31bd2912-f493-420e-b033-247fc2d22c7c/misha%2Bvenice%2B5.jpg Features - Eat, Gay, Love: Visiting Dead Icons in Venice It’s early morning and I’ve arrived at the airport in good time, which is just as well because the departures queue winds around the whole terminal like a snake. After forty five minutes of waiting, I’m at the barrier and my boarding pass won’t work, so I frantically find a member of staff. They laugh and tell me I’m at the wrong terminal. Fuck. I dash across Gatwick back to the South Terminal, where the departures queue is considerably shorter and I make it through security flustered, but not late. There’s not enough time for me to enjoy a glass of holiday Prosecco at the bar, or to find a good glossy magazine for the flight, only to pick up some sweets and a snack for when I land. The flight to Venice Marco Polo is being called so I head to the gate where every passenger is being checked for the specific face mask model required to enter Italy.

Dressing Dykes has been a monthly column on the Dollhouse for a full year now, and we’re coming to the end. I’ve written about drag kings and sex wars, Vogue and Sappho, and even things a bit closer to our present day. Yes, this is my final column - but lesbian fashion, and its history, is far from over. I want to take a moment to think about what lesbian fashion and queer fashion in general means for a steadily approaching future. In years gone by, queer people have had to hide themselves, their clothes being either visible protests or coded messages, but these days more of us are out and open than ever before. But what’s the meaning of the closet when it’s only inhabited by our queer garments, rather than ourselves? Some lesbian and queer women’s fashions from the past continue to exist today. We hold onto them, a link to our history that confirms that we’ve been around for a while. Think about dungarees - or overalls, if you’re in the US - and how they’re a quintessential lesbian style stereotype. There’s a reason for this; they were worn by female workers in World War Two, which for many women was the first taste of trousered freedom, and continued to be worn by women in blue-collar jobs throughout the twentieth century. These jobs, partly because of their uniforms or necessary practical clothing, often attracted working-class butch lesbians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a6cfd712-645c-43a4-8d30-9ae1fcde6d72/pasted%2Bimage%2B0.png Features - Dressing Dykes: What is the Future for Lesbian Fashion? - Make it stand out “GAY PEOPLE!

Her videos pop off on a regular basis with her cutting takes on trans politics, relationships and fashion as well as videos about her day to day life as a true queen of New York City. Comments about nails like "Unhand me you wildebeest! I am a fair maiden, I am a lady" and "I’m a one of a kind doll, an exclusive doll, a doll you cannot have!" resound through the platform, with her audios going viral regularly. If you’ve ever seen the words timorous, petite and demure being used in succession, you can thank Selyna for that. However, in her conversation with our socials editor, Eden Young, Selyna notes she has had enough of being a sound byte and being used as a vehicle for other people to get views on TikTok off the back of her humour. They also gossiped about the Sex and the City reboot, her flourishing music career as Trapselyna and the way trans creators are treated on a platform that cares so little about them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39ee54f0-f701-4dfb-9538-af5e8a43d1d8/I87A4869-2.jpg Features - Selyna Brillaire and The City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbda4575-a958-4bcb-8ea9-3c292a9f34cc/I87A5268-2.jpg Features - Selyna Brillaire and The City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d982fc9-01f8-4e6d-919c-316bb6fcf110/I87A5109.jpg Features - Selyna Brillaire and The City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b643f3f0-c46a-46cc-a11e-29d406ff07a4/I87A4716.jpg Features - Selyna Brillaire and The City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/creating-myself-as-a-black-girl-in-the-metaverse monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/43993644-1761-4cab-9f8d-4bf587152d82/Metaverse%2B2.jpg Features - Creating Myself as a Black Girl in the Metaverse Ever since the pandemic began and confined so many of us to our screens, people have been newly interested in the metaverse. But my first foray into the metaverse was about ten years ago, long before coronavirus upended our lives. I was around twelve or thirteen when I made my account on IMVU, a vaguely dystopic online metaverse game (IMVU’s website defines the metaverse as a 3D, virtual world "where people can interact with each other through their avatars"). On IMVU, I could dance, party, and travel with other gamers in the digital world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd8c0f8d-69b4-4ece-83ae-384e222df6a4/Metaverse%2B1.jpg Features - Creating Myself as a Black Girl in the Metaverse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/art-rookie-why-we-need-to-stop-taking-art-so-seriously monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bb1d25aa-0c88-42db-92a7-114a4beaf4c9/zara%2Bart%2Bcolumn%2B1.jpg Features - Art Rookie: Why We Need to Stop Taking Art so Seriously We're told that art is supposed to elicit a reaction. You're supposed to spend hours lost in the work of French impressionists. You're supposed to get (a word that people use as the defining factor as to if they did or did not enjoy works of art) why a Rembrandt is a masterpiece. If you don't get it, you're just not intellectually superior enough. You're just another one of those plebeians who doesn't understand art and never truly will. In the past, I wanted so badly to be Connell from Sally Rooney's Normal People when he stood in front of Vermeer's The Art of Painting for a whole day, transfixed by some divine work of genius the other less intellectual characters of the novel just did not get. When I watched Mona Lisa Smile as a naive 13-year-old, I wanted to be Julia Roberts, the subversive Art History professor who "challenged" the status quo by praising Picasso instead of Michelangelo, who asked her students to consider art beyond the narrow definition of their textbooks. It may seem trite to admit these things as someone who will be going to uni to receive their official indoctrination into the history of art - I am convinced my offer of admission will be rescinded if the admissions committee hears of my pop culture pipe dreams. Still, it came from a place of wanting to close the gap between myself and "genius" and, in the process, gain footing in a world that actively rejects me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b1ad6b71-abe0-439b-abdb-38443443cf4c/zara%2Bart%2Bcolumn%2B2.jpg Features - Art Rookie: Why We Need to Stop Taking Art so Seriously - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-bishop-briggs-explores-her-personal-style monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0ccfefd0-0f7c-477d-be17-be061bc5ccab/bishop%2Bbriggs%2B1.jpg Features - Glad Rags: Bishop Briggs Explores Her Personal Style Get your glad rags on gang!

Creating this arc for the character was important , in order to show how troubled she is in her thoughts, overthinking, pressured by society’s standards and having guilts that led her to unrealistic expectations and doubting herself, her initial motive. The contradiction of looking so over the top equipped with surreal skills and what can actually happen in one’s mind aimed to give a behind the scenes feeling that focuses on empathy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c4dc684-8a10-4d66-a21d-316c3921482e/LOOK%2B2.jpg Features - I Think I'm Cursed Combines Editorial with Illustration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e3aaf36-7631-4e63-ad49-28ae0af98653/LOOK%2B6.jpg Features - I Think I'm Cursed Combines Editorial with Illustration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e6a2b722-e6d5-4875-8022-5033ed7ef680/LOOK%2B7.jpg Features - I Think I'm Cursed Combines Editorial with Illustration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce57ec46-22a0-4412-8787-ad1ff564db3f/LOOK%2B8.jpg Features - I Think I'm Cursed Combines Editorial with Illustration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/natasha-bassett-on-elvis-hail-caesar-amp-her-dream-director monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d4e81478-5e5b-4bda-8e7c-aa33dba029b0/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-06-22%2Bat%2B11.15.14%2BAM.jpeg Features - Natasha Bassett on Elvis, Hail Caesar &amp; Her Dream Director Actress Natasha Bassett is in the movie everyone is talking about, Elvis by Baz Luhrmann.

Though Tumblr shipping culture is firmly in the rearview mirror for me, shipping still holds a place in the hearts and minds of teenagers— and some mildly concerning adults— everywhere. “Shipping” is a relatively new term, so to speak. At its base level, it means wanting two people, real or fiction, to be together romantically. For the sake of this argument, I am exploring how the term often applies to celebrities, influencers, and public figures. Shipping, however, has evolved into something so much more complex and boundary-pushing than its original definition, and for some has become pretty shaky on consent and ill-informed by parasocial relationships. Shipping now largely requires a fan of the hypothetical couple to not only want them to be together, but to insist that they are together, and completely deconstruct these celebrities’ realities to look for “clues” to support their biases. While it would be ludicrous to deny the existence of PR couples, marketing stunts, and closeting in the realm of fame, many internet armchair detectives have taken it upon themselves to spin a narrative of certain celebrities’ dating histories, trying to personally determine which relationships are real, and which are PR. This practice can certainly be lighthearted, but some fans have taken it to the next level, convinced they know their idols better than anyone else through the subliminal messages left behind by the artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c10c78f8-42f7-42bc-866b-fe3455724712/taylor%2Bswift%2B1.jpg Features - Fan Fiction &amp; Shipping: Are Stans Removed from Reality? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-bad-gays-shines-a-light-on-a-historys-evil-homosexuals monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21695a4c-808d-4145-8394-b7aa003e0466/bad%2Bgays%2B2.jpg Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Bad Gays Shines a Light on a History's Evil Homosexuals Oscar Wilde was one of many famous historical queers to feel the full force of a culture, and a state, that was violently opposed to his existence. His story, established lore in queer canon, is given only a passing mention in the introduction of the new book Bad Gays: A Homosexual History, by Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller, based on their shared podcast of the same name. Instead, the two authors quickly pivot to Bosie Douglas, Wilde’s former lover, whom they describe as a historical “footnote,” and “an embodiment of ‘evil twink energy.’” The book is dedicated to deep dives into the stories of figures like Bosie, men that survived through the same times as their canonized peers, but who, for one reason or another, the authors say we “cannot make into heroes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4497f7d4-f785-4b37-a254-df034614320e/badgays.jpg Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: Bad Gays Shines a Light on a History's Evil Homosexuals - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/plus-in-a-perfect-industry-editorial monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a3b859e9-412b-4a1f-9f46-9ea1e50b1785/Screenshot%2B%28144%29.png Features - Plus in a Perfect Industry is a Middle Finger to the Fashion Industry This is a big F**K YOU to the fashion industry that doesn’t accommodate for our bodies.

Time becomes dizzying and vague as Orlando moves through grassy trails, dashing in a baby-blue robe a la française and an 18th century towery wig. But, as she turns a sharp corner, her attire transforms into a dark blue Victorian gown—her hair a burning red—she exits the maze through the mist of a new century. I recall with the utmost clarity watching the scene in the winter of 2014. I was thirteen and new to high-school, and this was my first introduction to the works of Virginia Woolf—in film form, at least—but it planted the curious idea, written by Woolf in Orlando, that “clothes are but a symbol of something hid deep beneath.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/14fa6a23-de45-4a7e-9fb8-e4cabdf2a764/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-06-13%2Bat%2B1.01.27%2BPM%2B%281%29.jpeg Features - Frock Consciousness: Everything Virginia Woolf has Taught Me About Personal Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/five-glamorous-films-from-the-era-of-the-porno-chic monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a67ece6-5d4b-4cf8-90a9-4a4bae69079f/Blonde%2BAmbition%2B18.jpg Features - Five Glamorous Films from the Era of Porno-Chic From just one glimpse, it’s clear the era of the “porno chic” was way more tasteful than the gonzo from which men these days get their kicks. Although in the 70’s and 80’s x-rated classics enjoyed opulent premieres, nowadays they are celebrated by cult circles at most. It’s not the sex what creates so much fuzz, though, but the nostalgia for the history and the stars: for the glamour and grandeur that got lost and which, in this day and age, fans can only appreciate from afar. If you’ve ever been curious about vintage pornography, yet wary because famous pictures like Deep Throat (1972) have horrific events to their names — this is the perfect list for you.

We all love it. For some of us, it is one of the only things that makes life worth living, the only spark of joy in a dull, mechanical world, whether it’s about celebrities, your colleagues, or even just your friends. I was recently caught out gossiping about one of my very close friends, dipping my beak in things that were absolutely not my business but relishing every minute of it. I subsequently had to do a bit of self-exploration, a mini-journey of accountability and genuine apology, and honestly, it was eye opening. I freely admit that in my past (late teens/early twenties) that I was a Mean Gay, but I grew out of it as I got older and, hopefully, wiser, but I have also come to acknowledge that there is an eternal bond between gayness and a certain kind of cruelty which I’m going to explore in this month’s column. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e22b2dfb-541d-4141-ae8a-a54f65a69e8f/draw%2Bblood%2Bcopy%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Dissecting the 'Mean Gays' Trope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/and-i-began-to-wonder-if-i-cant-be-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-can-i-still-be-anything-at-all monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f81e22ba-d47b-42cc-92d8-3afbbf78e439/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-06-08%2Bat%2B1.36.22%2BPM.jpeg Features - And I Began to Wonder… If I Can’t Be Everything Everywhere All At Once, Can I Still Be Anything At All? ‘And I Began to Wonder’ is a series of essays written by Makella Ama, who was inspired to pen down their thoughts in the same style as the lengendaric Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City. As a 20-something, Black, first gen immigrant watching the show, Mak couldn’t help but wonder just how far removed some of Carrie’s experiences were, so this is their own exploration of life but like… more Mak, less Carrie. Every so often I watch a film and as the closing credits roll down the screen, I realise I have entered an additional season of my life (not dramatic at all, I know). It is never timely. I am almost always in tears. I am almost always the last person in the cinema when this happens. I have made peace with this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/84c38c35-8a9a-43e6-bad6-19f6e8c7a0e5/unnamed+%283%29.jpg Features - And I Began to Wonder… If I Can’t Be Everything Everywhere All At Once, Can I Still Be Anything At All? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5a01dfbf-131d-4682-80d4-656cb639ba2c/unnamed%2B%281%29+%286%29.jpg Features - And I Began to Wonder… If I Can’t Be Everything Everywhere All At Once, Can I Still Be Anything At All? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0de6d6a-b1ae-4f84-80e5-ce66c2953b36/unnamed%2B%282%29+%282%29.jpg Features - And I Began to Wonder… If I Can’t Be Everything Everywhere All At Once, Can I Still Be Anything At All? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54df6600-b34c-4874-a883-d269df4f1173/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-06-08%2Bat%2B1.36.23%2BPM.jpeg Features - And I Began to Wonder… If I Can’t Be Everything Everywhere All At Once, Can I Still Be Anything At All? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dressing-dykes-fashion-as-activism monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/15175c6d-25e7-4e72-8a84-932c761ea7b1/dressing%2Bdykes%2Bjune.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Fashion as Activism Activism is how we act, right? The things that we do to try and make the world better; perhaps the posts we boost online or the rallies we go to. How can fashion, or the clothes that we adorn our bodies with, make the world better? How can, more specifically, the fashion of lesbian or other queer communities be activism? Imagine a rally, a protest, or a march. Protest banners or cardboard signs are held determinedly in the air, demanding change. Crowds chant a people’s manifesto that spells out the future with every echoed shout. Yet, for most of us, rallies or protests or marches are not the norm. They are an extreme, a reaction to an outrage, rather than activism that exists in the everyday. Our clothes, however, which we wear day in and day out, exist in the everyday. No wonder then, that they’ve so often been turned into protest banners themselves. In queer archives around the world - official institutions and personal wardrobes both - rest t-shirts and badges that once demanded queer liberation. While now they are quiet, once they took to the streets on angry queer bodies. Some of them still do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68bd5505-fe90-4057-8d3c-53ec7b5db74e/dyke%2Btshirt.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Fashion as Activism - Make it stand out “Dyke” t-shirt, no date.

The one dripping with hedonistic excess, the one we dreamt of when long periods of lockdown ruined our social lives and the one where all we do is pursue pleasure and duck into street corners to kiss strangers. It's the sort of fantasy that (if my Twitter feed is to be believed) we can't seem to shake off every summer. Victor's desire to create clothes that celebrates club culture, specifically the Mexican club kid look, is also rooted in the pursuit of being free, but in this instance, from Catholic guilt and the limitations of being a teenager living in Mexico City in the late 2000s. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/who-is-missing-from-the-coastal-grandmother-trend monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cb018eaa-efd2-4c63-a95e-8e1e99d5e891/grandma.jpg Features - Who is Missing From the Coastal Grandmother Trend? Somewhere between sounding the death knell for Twee and the chaotic rise of the dissociative pout, yet another trend shimmied its way into TikTok hall of fame–and consequently into larger cultural discourse–the coastal grandmother. Who is she you may ask? The coastal grandma is not your typical knits-sweaters-on-a-warm-winter-morning gal, so let me paint you a picture. This woman wakes up at the crack of dawn to watch the waves hit the shore from the patio of her two-storeyed beach house. She would never drink instant coffee in a £2 mug from a charity shop; instead she drinks her medium roast blend with a dollop of cream in a vintage cup that will eventually be passed down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55fa0977-265f-4784-8d1c-b0889ddcd2cd/coastal.jpg Features - Who is Missing From the Coastal Grandmother Trend? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-feminine-urge-playlist monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/738a8339-8bea-4e50-8e7a-72e4506152f7/feminine%2Burge.jpg Features - The Feminine Urge Playlist This playlist is called the feminine urge playlist by Sophia Moreno.

It’s a rarity to find such a film, one that reaches that realistic feeling of how women live, both together and alone. To be young and tired in the city but still that small flame of inspiration, passion and love lingers even when the electricity is cut off and your best friend becomes a yuppie. The film has become a household name of low budget, independent American filmmaking. Weill, an already up and coming documentary filmmaker, used friends, bargaining and intrinsic editing to jump over the financial obstacles and managed to make a New York Classic with $500,000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/afb133ed-7f81-451e-b76f-5161613c45eb/Screenshot%2B%28139%29.png Features - Film Fatale: Girlfriends and On Screen Female Friendship - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-conversation-with-torture-and-the-desert-spiders monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ca64a01-c22a-43af-9a2f-b0f99f87a0bb/torture%2B1.jpg Features - In Conversation with Torture and the Desert Spiders The world associates punk with London, but where does post punk find its roots?

Online beauty people in their teens and early 20s are identifying the influence of a makeup artist working 30 years ago in the faces of people like Alexa Demie. You could think that Aucoin’s legacy is enjoying a revival but actually his style of makeup has never really gone away.The techniques and aesthetics he developed are now just fully part of the beauty canon, used every time you want to look a specific type of hot. If you want to learn more about Aucoin (and you should, he was a really fascinating and talented person and the first makeup artist to really become a celebrity), then I would recommend watching the documentary “Larger than Life” but, in this column I’m going to focus specifically on his contouring techniques, and how they might have interacted with the technical capabilities of film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/22ab5507-feb7-4112-a4eb-204b771206da/kevyn%2B1%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Beauty Archivist: Kevyn Aucoin's Contouring - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-bad-taste-test-in-liarmouth-john-waters-tells-a-twisted-truth monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae458d08-d490-47cc-bead-3b0d96c583e7/john%2Bwaters%2B1.jpg Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: In Liarmouth, John Waters Tells a Twisted Truth When it comes to John Waters, there’s always a temptation to fall back on describing and defining his work through shock value. After all, in their early collaborations together, Waters has Divine get sexually assaulted by a giant lobster in Multiple Maniacs; made monstrous and fried in the electric chair at the climax of Female Trouble; and, most (in)famously, has her eat dog shit in the final moments of Pink Flamingos. This final film is about Babs Johnson (Divine) on a quest to become the “filthiest person alive,” a title she resoundingly wins in that final, stomach-turning act of coprophagia. The tagline for Pink Flamingos is “an exercise in poor taste,” the film then delivers on what feels almost like Waters playing the greatest hits of his early work; a wild collision of sex, violence, sin, and fetishism. But his work - both on film and otherwise - is much more than this list of inflammatory acts. And that’s where Liarmouth comes in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0e5c594-3fde-46e2-aba6-efa3e3155815/john%2Bwaters%2B2.jpg Features - The (Bad) Taste Test: In Liarmouth, John Waters Tells a Twisted Truth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/extract-sofia-coppola-forever-young-by-hannah-strong monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/910de788-0eb3-42a3-800b-46315507e1d8/virgin%2B1.jpg Features - Extract: 'Sofia Coppola: Forever Young' by Hannah Strong “I wanted to make something that was artful for girls,” Sofia Coppola explained in a 2018 interview with Criterion, ahead of The Virgin Suicides’s rerelease in a plush special edition with a 4K restoration and a raft of special features. Her own experience as a film-loving teenager in the 1980s had left her disillusioned: “Movies made for teenagers didn’t respect the audience. The cinematography was bad [ . . . ] and it would always be thirty-year-olds cast as teenagers. Besides John Hughes, there wasn’t anyone portraying them in a way I could relate to. I felt like it was part of the culture that wasn’t being dealt with.” Indeed, Coppola’s list of her favorite films, published in 2020 by Rotten Tomatoes, makes evident her fascination with youth on-screen. There’s Sixteen Candles, but also Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show, Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita, Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless and her own father’s Rumble Fish. It makes perfect sense, then, that Coppola would choose to channel this interest into her own art—out of an impasse in her young life after dabbling in acting, fashion design and photography came The Virgin Suicides. Her source material, the 1993 debut novel of Michigan-born author Jeffrey Eugenides, was inspired by a conversation he’d had with his nephew’s babysitter, who told him that she and her sisters had tried to commit suicide. When he asked why, she said only, “We were under a lot of pressure.” Coppola was recommended the novel by her friend Thurston Moore, founding member of Sonic Youth, and was instantly struck by a close-up photograph of long blonde hair on its cover—a detail that would become integral to her own vision of the Lisbon sisters, some six years later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7947ae59-e785-4f35-8ece-19c05be84d63/virgin%2B2.jpg Features - Extract: 'Sofia Coppola: Forever Young' by Hannah Strong - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f01f57ab-8548-4a4d-9a47-d32d7712bea8/Sofia%2BCoppola%2BCVR.jpg Features - Extract: 'Sofia Coppola: Forever Young' by Hannah Strong - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/flore-de-sermet-ss22 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79a4baed-bd06-4094-aa68-7f246d62f4d9/1.png Features - Flore de Sermet SS22 is an Exploration of Identity This capsule collection (Flore de Sermet SS22) stages 3 malefic cheerleaders in the midst of the Mercuriales Towers setting.

To put it simply, I never wanted to be asexual. Like some other labels for gender or sexual orientation, there is a lot of varying definitions of asexuality. From the most simple one, which is an absence of sexual attraction and desire to engage in sexual acts, to more complex notions such gray-sexuality or demisexuality. Overall, people who identify as asexual have a low or non-existant sex drive. Some of them are fully repulsed by the simple notion of sex, while others do not mind it but are not interested in having any. Some asexual people will never ever have sex, others are okay with having sex with people to form or strenghten relationships while not experiencing desire. Overall, the definition and manifestation of asexuality vary from one person to another, depending on how they conceptualise their sexual orientation and how they live their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2fdf2d4b-44b5-489a-9185-6fe92c50db72/asexual%2B2.jpg Features - An Asexual Exploration - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tinashe-is-advocating-for-herself monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a5a9e57b-7f33-4b42-9126-7283604e1ace/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-05-18%2Bat%2B2.34.30%2BPM.jpeg Features - Tinashe is Advocating for Herself Tinashe has been an omnipresent force in our culture for years. ‘Omnipresent’ for those who do not know means ’present everywhere at the same time.’ This powerful adjective also links to the origin of Tinashe’s name, which means “We have God (or God is with us)” in Shona.

It was the morning of my wedding day, but there were no bridesmaids fussing over my hair, no make-up artist, no photographer. There was just me, applying eyeliner then scrubbing it off, trying to decide between the only two white dresses I own. There was a short, flippy one with puffy sleeves, and a long wraparound one with little pink flowers on it. Was I more cute-punk-Courtney Love bride? Or was I more Grecian goddess bride? Actually, I was Zoom bride, about to get married in my kitchen on a computer screen. More accurately than that, I was Green Card bride. And in a few weeks, depending on the speed of Brooklyn divorce courts, I won’t even be that anymore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f59a3588-4882-4306-9e10-adf2b3c8d92f/diana%2B.jpg Features - Here Comes the Bride - On Having a Green Card Marriage - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-sugar-daddy-capitalism monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b59f8c3e-6205-424a-ac96-2d7e09cfae45/_DSC6919blur.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Sugar Daddy Capitalism When we talk about sex work, we do not discuss enough the additional labour required of someone with such a misunderstood identity. That becomes part of the work itself, a condition of the job. We are not just talking here about non-sex workers asking invasive questions, which is a given, but also a phenomenon whereby friends and loved ones, predominantly women, ask us how they might go about becoming a sex worker themselves, seeing it as easy money and having little understanding of the exhausting realities of the job, as well as the grit and expertise it takes to conduct such a life successfully. These questions are usually, although met with some wry and knowing frustration, forgiven completely - because they serve only as further proof that nearly everyone has, at the hands of cis men, been harassed for their sex object status and would like to discover a way of at least capitalising on it. This piece captures that dynamic between female friends; it is a semi-fictionalised letter that depicts this strange authority we as sex workers bear on the matter of existing, as well all do, under sugar daddy capitalism. Fleming dubs this “Sugar Daddy Capitalism” after the controversial dating-app wealthy businessmen use to meet young girls, most of whom are struggling with university fees. What seems like a creepy outlier is actually a prescient metaphor for our whole economy: an anonymous and impersonal cash system that is also intent on getting under your skin, extra close and capable of ruining everything if you say… ‘no’.

The term originally became popular during the 1960s free love era. This movement, like its successors, was largely led by White women. The Ethical Slut, Sex & The City, and third-wave feminism put Gen X and Millenial Sex Positivity at the forefront of mainstream media. This didn’t just stop in the 90s. With the advent of social media, the 2020s have come in with a roaring bang of sex positivity. This isn’t without its criticisms, however. Radical Feminists and many young women within Generation Z have critiqued sex positivity as a movement against the best interests of young women. These debates aren’t exactly new as the “Sex Wars” was a pivotal moment in the 1980s for feminists. Adversaries of the sex-positivity movement claimed that widespread pornography furthered the objectification of women while their opposition believed that in order for the sexes to be truly seen as equal, women would have to adopt a shame-free attitude towards sex. Like many men have. While conversations surrounding the Sex Wars were influential, they centered on the experiences of White college-educated heterosexual women. The binary of “liberal” vs “radical” feminism doesn’t take the conversation of sex positivity outside of the White Protestant-influenced society we live in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4ccdfcf3-3465-4fc2-861e-33e34579bc63/amina%2Bcollage%2B2.jpg Features - The Complexities of Black Sex Positivity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-emily-nash monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdb4cbfe-370d-4e83-96ac-def7a9a09955/emily%2Bnash.jpg Features - Glad Rags: Emily Nash on Keeping it Casual Get your glad rags on gang!

Having considered myself a feminist by specific standards, I was a mixture of confused and embarrassed that I had never heard this term before. “What exactly is xenofeminism?” I asked, probing into a completely unknown area. After the bottle was finished, with the promised follow-up of links and book suggestions, I suddenly discovered a different world of conversations among feminists. As I was curious to find out more, I realised that it’s important to share what I found. What exactly is xenofeminism? What does it mean? And how does it fit into broader discussions of feminist ideology? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa4d7899-35ff-4b0a-952e-ea0c6dc0628d/unnamed%2B%2813%29.jpg Features - The Extraterrestrial World of Xenofeminism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/unhyphenated monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc795ee2-f1e8-4643-87a0-c8669b9dd9df/Sam%2BThach%2B-2.jfif Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience “Unhyphenated” is a portrait series of 8 Asian Americans and Canadians, focusing on producing a portrayal into who they are, empowering the participant, the Asian North American diaspora, and abolishing the use of and divisive connotation of the hyphen. As each person is introduced, we drop the hyphen as to remove any notions of “otherness” and assert ourselves as unique individuals who have reached across ethnic normative lines. Some of these individuals are first generation, some second generation, some neither, all from varying facets of the Asian nationality. The common thread is their affirmative display of selfdom that ultimately make up the diverse fabric that is the “American”. It is a story of what it means to be someone who carries on a rich cultural bloodline into the modern world, bridging the gap between the seemingly perpetual brink of two worlds, and challenging the consistent subtle blows of “what are you?” into “this is who I am”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/210bb422-4d17-44c8-8069-7e78c19c4a39/image0+%281%29.jpeg Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c05874df-61ec-44ea-8b05-ae645ae55ecc/Edward%2BZhu%2B-%2B3.jfif Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/73c22b57-e5d1-4080-b9f3-2d07196361cc/Faith%2BTan.jfif Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0caec2db-9ad8-46e3-b4e5-dbc7b11c2101/Sam%2BThach%2B-1.jpeg Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d9eae14-8805-47ec-957c-6df6142a016f/Kara%2BChin.jfif Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f81ad0b5-2e89-40f0-8a1b-84409e628d7f/Mom%2C%2BSurrey%2C%2BCanada%2C%2B2021.jpeg Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/df40f971-741c-41b3-96a4-1b64453e4d28/Amy%2BNguyen%2B-%2B3.jfif Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d17ec7dd-bfd7-40fb-ad7c-b6eb90241824/Leslie%2BSy.jfif Features - Unhyphenated Explores the Asian American Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sicksadgirlz-dealing-with-sexism-amp-dismissal-from-male-doctors monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/33faa50c-7474-4d03-a0ad-c00cdc518365/sadsickgals+%281%29.png Features - SickSadGirlz: Dealing With Sexism &amp; Dismissal from Male Doctors YOU ASKED: I’ve experienced multiple occasions of slight sexism with male doctors, how do you get through treatment / dismissal of symptoms from the fem perspective? First off we want to say we’re so sorry you’ve had this experience, and it may simultaneously comfort you and totally bum you out to know you’re definitely not alone. We’d like to think of ourselves as experts only of our own feelings, not so much the facts, but we do have both objective and empirical knowledge on this much: the medical system is laden with gendered and racial bias. Okay, sure “The doctor will see you now”…but will they? Will they actually see me, listen to what I have to say and do their best to provide adequate care? In the UK and the US, women are less believed, and receive mistreatment more often than men. Now compound that for women of colour. Given that and the idea that doctors are yet another example of authority figures who have the ability to abuse their power, it’s no wonder that when we’re sitting in a clinician’s office, it can feel less like a safe space and more like an interrogation room. Until these systemic issues are addressed and improved or we figure out how to disappear sexism, racism, classism (and other isms) from the medical system, what we can offer you is our SSG Check-Up Checklist (yeah, we’re still workshopping the name) that at least helps put us in the best position possible when receiving treatment. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-phone-notes monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/43326637-58f0-4fe4-8e9f-96574aa370bc/a.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Phone Notes “Poetry incorporates seizure, silence, return, and recoil; it notes the pauses, doesn’t dismiss them.”A few years ago, I was visiting my grandmother and our conversation turned, as it often does, to the topic of her diaries. She has written diaries for around 80 years, from being a young teenager sent away during wartime right up to now, in her mid 90s. She writes everyday, recording her thoughts, musing on memories, writing poems and remembering lost friends. She travels through time and space with her writing, from her adult life in London, to her travels in the 40s to India and the Far East, to the parties on Greek islands she attended in the 60s and 70s, and everything in between. She knows no one will ever be able to read them all, but the act of writing them is what is empowering to her. She has always urged me to keep diaries, but as a long term commitment-phobe, it’s been difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b966c92-f3db-4bc5-9c5c-b8b623f32e65/IMG_5235.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Phone Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3a7e9fd1-2f0e-45e1-ad1a-fbdc61bb232f/IMG_5236%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Phone Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/813082e9-cd6b-4e3b-a2b2-6f7cc05ef9b2/c.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Phone Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c4dd285-c2bb-4f91-b324-5d5b57c3be7c/IMG_5237.jpg Features - Culture Slut: An Ode to Phone Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ispy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/303f032e-0dcc-4988-96ac-733f51d7359e/ispy%2Bhidden%2Bobjects%2B-%2BPG%2B1.jpg Features - iSpy - Bathroom Edition iSpy is an interactive column by Sophia Moreno where you have to find hidden objects! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f679c793-928d-4777-8537-d1d4f87247e0/ispy%2Bhidden%2Bobjects%2B-%2BPG%2B1.jpg Features - iSpy - Bathroom Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bafa954-f1bf-49e1-a9f8-77fb7821d075/close%2Bup%2B1%2B-%2BPG%2B2.jpg Features - iSpy - Bathroom Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/53452694-2f07-4907-87c7-ef20046175b1/close%2Bup%2B2%2B-%2BPG%2B3.jpg Features - iSpy - Bathroom Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/30b70c3e-00cc-4c4c-ac28-4fa39de56c78/i%2Bspy%2Bshowing%2Bobjects%2B-%2BPG%2B5.jpg Features - iSpy - Bathroom Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mexico-aint-cheap monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de118b4c-310d-4cdb-85b4-9c6822fa4783/Mexico.Aint.Cheap.AB_5.jfif Features - Mexico Ain't Cheap - Celebrating Mexican Fashion With a record breaking of more immigrants from the United States moving to Mexico, than moving from Mexico to the US, creatives have been pushed outside the regular artist spots.

When could it have been more so, right? There are more out LGBTQ+ celebrities than ever, and our style is often celebrated where once it was scorned. Last Summer, Vogue even ran a photo story about New York City’s Dyke March. But what if I told you that lesbians had made themselves a home at Vogue magazine a hundred years ago? It’s 1922, and British Vogue has been running for 6 years. It launched in 1916, partially in a bid to expand the Condé Nast company and partially to keep Vogue running in the UK during the First World War - previously, the American edition had been shipped over and sold instead. The general consensus is that the first editor of the magazine was a woman named Elspeth Champcommunal, though accounts vary. It’s definite, though, that by 1922 a new editor was at the masthead: Dorothy Todd. Not long after Dorothy’s - or Dody’s - appointment as editor, another woman rose to prominence at the magazine. This was Madge Garland, Dody’s lover and British Vogue's fashion editor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1098b4d5-2f79-4657-9750-1c95ee5a7b0d/unnamed%2B%2810%29.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Madge, Dody and lesbian Vogue - Make it stand out Dorothy Todd (right) and Madge Garland (left), c. 1930.

I'm a super vivacious, but highly anxious person. With being a big dreamer also comes this looming anxiety that burns inside of me most days… PURE ENERGY is a collage of a timestamp of my life. A hopeful, dreaming, sensationalized and visceral time in my life… where I'm building, reaching and hoping. It feels celebratory as much as it is cathartic. Every song on the EP is so different and has its own narrative and story. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lucha-libre-beauty monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f47aae67-05f9-4214-8da6-65c731708d8a/S35zwK_Y.jpeg Features - Lucha Libre Beauty is Finding the Soft Glamour in Wrestling We love luchadores' masks and have always wanted to do a photoshoot inspired by the shapes from some of our favorite luchas. Wrestling is typically associated with machismo and we love the way the makeup artist, Virginia Vera, juxtaposed the inspiration with some softer beauty elements, like diamonds and flowers. On a personal note, I've always used makeup as a way to create the outward persona I put on when I'm out in public so it seems fitting to take inspiration from the characters created in the lucha libre ring to make some dynamic beauty looks. We really hope you like them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a00df6e1-5ee0-4d66-8f00-4cabe91986fb/wJUYnltE.jpeg Features - Lucha Libre Beauty is Finding the Soft Glamour in Wrestling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db6b9e19-4ed4-485e-bf05-ce4a4d185b6f/hivy48GA.jpeg Features - Lucha Libre Beauty is Finding the Soft Glamour in Wrestling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fec57c79-3211-46ba-a8ce-d84e40e079b9/sHPlpmEw.jpeg Features - Lucha Libre Beauty is Finding the Soft Glamour in Wrestling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6ff5aae-3cfb-4829-8c44-a646936fad1d/qevhmtg0.jpeg Features - Lucha Libre Beauty is Finding the Soft Glamour in Wrestling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b0e7934-d04b-4b26-b23c-374d9c4e64fe/rifhRHU4.jpeg Features - Lucha Libre Beauty is Finding the Soft Glamour in Wrestling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mirror-mirror monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1192d0e9-028b-43a6-9ab1-3f7e533e2fc6/IMG_0734.jpeg Features - Mirror Mirror is a Self Reflective Illustration Series ‘Mirror Mirror’ is a illustration series by Marta Zenka.

YOU ASKED: Why is Pisces always described as somewhat dumb? Well, because of the way we see “dumb.” Pisces is as intuitive and connected to the ether as it gets. Having one foot inside of this world and one foot “outside” of it (aka in the web of the unknown, the spiritual, etc) can often come off as aloof or daft if we don’t honor the great work it is to straddle both dimensions. Pisces energy, ruled traditionally by Jupiter, is here to push us as a collective, to rethink how we relate to ourselves, the earth, and all that is precious and transient, in general. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/in-conversation-with-social-media-superstar-mar monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd0d6682-c1e4-431a-ade9-c73a5ccdac6e/MAR.png Features - In Conversation with Social Media Superstar MAR Social media superstar, graphic design legend and now fledging popstar - there ain't nothing Mar can’t put her hands to and excel in.

A Review Readers should be forewarned that this review can ultimately be summarised by the following: Sexquisite: $tripped! is fucking phenomenal, 5/5 stars and you should absolutely make time to go see it, especially if you’re new to revolutionary hooker politics. Fortunately for me, the editors have given me a generous word count in which to gush. Whether or not you’re into cabaret, and whether or not you’re a sex worker, there will be a moment in $tripped! that will stick in your mind, making you laugh, cry, and puzzle. The show is as layered as the experiences of sex workers themselves tend to be, and precise in its commentary. You’ll walk away with new questions that will contest your preconceptions about sex work, no matter how long you’ve been in the game, and you’ll probably still be laughing on your way home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c3c99f7-47a6-464b-a76a-dfe97ed8a6d6/_DSC5290.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: $tripped!

Her poems have been or will be published in The Maine Review, Lunch Ticket, Poets Reading the News, Beyond Queer Words Anthology (2021), The Elevation Review, and others. She is currently working on a chapbook entitled “korean kintsugi” and fretting over her knitting. “ohio snow” is about yearning for a homeland that isn’t really mine to yearn for, “old premonitions,” is about how being an East Asian woman in the U.S. is like walking on the edge of a knife—you know the danger so intimately (you’ve lived it over and over again). It’s a kind of inescapable haunting that comes before the violent act (not after). And lastly, “tide puddles” is about meeting her (white) birth father. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61db8773-ed33-49a8-b2a1-ed24c1fff836/HJ3.jpg Features - Ohio Skies &amp; Selected Poetry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d6f0b0f-d7f6-4052-93b5-798165fa5d43/HJ2.jpg Features - Ohio Skies &amp; Selected Poetry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e2b678db-92a0-4b75-89e7-beea539151fd/HJ1.jpg Features - Ohio Skies &amp; Selected Poetry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8fc0bac-ec55-4456-ba6f-8d505929def3/hyun-joo%2Bcollage.jpg Features - Ohio Skies &amp; Selected Poetry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tommy-genesis-the-founder-of-fetish-rap monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55aff7f8-06b8-4618-adcc-ddefc10b3f84/tommy%2Bpolyester%2Bcover.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Rap music is an ever evolving scene. The past few years have seen fresh faces begin to emerge, supplying unique takes on hip-hop. This new generation of rappers has seen a plethora of female voices come forward to showcase their talents, arguably breaking barriers in what rap can be. Amongst this slew of gifted game changers that began emerging from the depths of underground rap, came Tommy Genesis. Since arriving on the scene in 2015 with mixtape World Vision, Tommy has become a trailblazer in the genre of “Fetish Rap”, a subsection of rap music she herself introduced. Utilising her talent for writing lyrics alongside seductive visuals and aesthetics, Tommy unapologetically celebrates themes of sexuality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31aacbf2-1089-42d2-93d4-47ef9407e34f/TOMMY6.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a7e88f8e-1262-44c9-9986-93dc0f970290/TOMMY15.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b94b6d47-448c-46ca-b0e1-77b80a0eeb67/TOMMY7.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/869fb636-c793-4612-8aae-98953f797160/TOMMY5.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f2463327-434f-499f-ab59-b9871faf4070/TOMMY11.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbf81044-1a8a-428d-9e7c-0fad1998babf/TOMMY10.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cd1ecb73-3412-4ae0-b8d7-fef8087f5128/TOMMY16.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/23f43c6c-4e6c-477e-bffb-27bf133a83ae/TOMMY7.jpg Features - Tommy Genesis, The Founder of Fetish Rap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/madonna-complex monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f3e6c66-4bfd-48de-9e29-b258d2c73efc/21st%2Bcentury%2Bdream%2Bgirl.jpg Features - Madonna Complex Explores Misogyny in Art As a young woman trying to navigate the adult world I often find it difficult to express my sexuality in a way that is deemed socially acceptable.

He was cute and our conversation was good, but there were barriers to us meeting. He lived about an hour away from me and we were hesitant to meet anyone because of Covid. Over the course of us talking our conversation eventually wandered into sexual territory and because I couldn’t see him in person I started sending him nudes. His response was so positive I started sending him videos, too. At first, nothing too intimate—a shot of my torso before a shower, me in my underwear in my bed. Eventually, it became more explicit. If selfies are all about the angles and the lighting, sexually explicit videos are about a myriad of ever-changing and deeply personal criteria that directly reflect your beliefs about desire. The act of finding the perfect angle and place to set one’s cell phone, or the careful dance of holding the phone to catch the most appealing angle, is both for the creator and the receiver. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/x-looks-at-desire-with-joy-longing-and-terror monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc55e5ab-ece9-49d9-a4bc-37928b61234f/X%2B2%2B%281%29.png Features - X Looks at Desire with Joy, Longing and Terror The discourse around sex scenes in cinema feels inescapable. Whenever a film comes out that explores desire, certain corners of Twitter will inevitably blow up on whether sex scenes are “necessary,” or if they just exist to provide some kind of titillation for the audience. This - seemingly endless - moment of uncertainty about exploring sex and sexuality on-screen feels linked to current cinematic monolith: superhero movies. Two hours of spectacle featuring actors in impossible physical shape as they fight and shoot and blast their way towards saving the world. But their bodies, relationships, and desires all feel cold and sterile; whether it’s the seeming lack of chemistry between Tom Holland and Zendaya in the Spider-Man films, or the utterly sexless relationship that never quite develops between Bruce Banner and the Black Widow in Age of Ultron. Mainstream cinema has a lot of body problems; from the homogeny of body types on screen, to the fact that neither films nor audiences seem to know what to do with those bodies once they’re in front of the camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba54485f-5733-4396-a973-cab6894b13e9/X%2B1%2B%281%29.png Features - X Looks at Desire with Joy, Longing and Terror - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-lost-in-late-night-movies monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a9cad8de-36bc-41d2-9d38-92534bee6796/late%2Bnight%2B2%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Lost in Late Night Movies “All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight.” I recently had the opportunity to host an online screening as part of Polyester’s partnership with MUBI and I loved every second of it. I’m constantly analysing the films I love, particularly the camp and glamour of Golden Age Hollywood, the transcendental experiments of 60s European Art House, and the nightmares of the French New Extremity, so I was particularly excited to present the 2021 film Titane and facilitate a discussion about it afterwards. Titane is a confrontational French body horror spectacle that deals with identity and found family, and both unsettles and exalts the viewer in the surreal and visceral flesh. It was perfect. I’d been told about the event a few weeks before and knew that it would be a fun evening, but it wasn’t until I was filming the second take of my opening welcome for instagram in the Polyester studio, in my full face, wig, boa dress, complete with drink sponsor and brand names already on my tongue that I realised what I was doing, WHO I was: I was Elvira. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b3f7d0f-362a-4d6a-9316-20b604f2bee4/late%2Bnight%2B1%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Lost in Late Night Movies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/eve-esfandiari-denney-on-poetry-as-gathering-ephemera monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6272d1dc-2c2b-4321-a768-b497d2f3905d/Author%2BPortrait_EveEsfandiari-Denney.jpg Features - Eve Esfandiari Denney on Poetry as Gathering Ephemera British Iranian/Roma poet Eve Esfandiari-Denney’s debut publication My Bodies This Morning This Evening is out this year with Bad Betty Press, packed with acute and tender explorations of subjects ranging from a fragmentary documentation of Roma language to a portrait of Patty and Selma Bouvier.

Legend has it that St. Michael disguised himself as a devil, but took on the celestial blue hue to mock the devil in order to drive him away. In contrast, dark-coloured devils are reminiscent of the long-departed slaves of the sugar plantation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5fdb5096-3741-493a-8e8f-563ceb4cd1e5/Screenshot%2B%28108%29.png Features - Engulfed in Colour Celebrates Trinidad’s Blue Devil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb7dbb6d-ddb7-468e-badb-1d922619e85c/Screenshot%2B%28109%29.png Features - Engulfed in Colour Celebrates Trinidad’s Blue Devil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d92cbc12-3318-4e5b-8649-980fe51b7118/Screenshot%2B%28110%29.png Features - Engulfed in Colour Celebrates Trinidad’s Blue Devil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ea786ea-5256-4faa-a86e-8e90b78db747/Screenshot%2B%28113%29.png Features - Engulfed in Colour Celebrates Trinidad’s Blue Devil - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dressing-dykes-the-fashion-of-the-lesbian-sex-wars monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6147ad93-d491-4c10-b675-45d8cbfad883/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-04-05%2Bat%2B11.31.44%2BAM.jpeg Features - Dressing Dykes: The Fashion of the Lesbian Sex Wars The lesbian sex wars of the 1970s and 80s were… complex. On the one hand, there were feminists - often lesbian feminists - fighting for liberation, shouting back against male violence and criticising the misogyny of porn culture at the time. On the other were “pro-sex” feminists - again, often lesbians - who were also fighting for liberation, only from a different perspective. While anti-pornography feminists argued that porn normalised and reinforced violence against women, “pro-sex” feminists thought that no type of sex or sexuality was innately bad, and could in fact be a positive experience. They asserted that the patriarchy was the problem, not sex itself. Both factions of the lesbian sex wars ended up, perhaps, simplifying reality. Andrew McBride, in an article on OutHistory (which you should check out if you want a more detailed analysis of the sex wars themselves), writes that “both camps became dogmatic in their ideologies and refused to see the complexities and intricacies of the issues.” This played out predictably - there was a strong distrust and dislike between anti-porn lesbian feminists and pro-sex lesbians. Because of this, the clothes worn by those on either side of the debate acted as uniforms and markers of difference. If someone was firmly in one camp, and dressed to prove it, there were certain lesbian spaces in which they couldn’t step foot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c89fa576-e710-4fa0-9e2c-90b3a9ea9b2e/unnamed%2B%285%29.png Features - Dressing Dykes: The Fashion of the Lesbian Sex Wars - Make it stand out Bettye Lane, ‘Christopher Street,’ Christopher Street Liberation Day March, 1978, New York City.

Before all this there was The Red Shoes (1948), the technicolour classic based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy-tale of the same name. This film presents itself as another potential campy classic, with the quirky stagehands and the quick talking choreographers snapping fingers at the beautiful dancers on their last legs. But, like all great memorable films, we’re snapped out of this familiar narrative and brought into something completely otherworldly at the halfway mark. After lead dancer Vicky (Moira Shearer) has the strenuous rehearsals of The Red Shoes, with the composer Julian (Marius Goring) being told to play the musical score during her every meal so it sticks in her every thought, we are waiting for the curtains to open. We have a luxury as the film’s audience of seeing this performance from every angle, we’re on the stage with her. We see the sweat dripping down her forehead and her perspective as she twirls and twirls and cuts focus on the men who are pushing her to her limit, showing the chaos and beauty perfectly. As later in the film Vicky will be made to choose between her ballet career or her lover which brings her to her unfortunate fate, her intense performance overlaps with the ballet and her personal fears and desires. This is where we see Vicky’s life and the fairy-tale overlap, the orchestra and the dancers are accompaniments to her personal story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92ae57dc-21a4-4671-81be-824abb1b9add/Screenshot%2B%28105%29.png Features - Film Fatale: The Red Shoes and the Tortured Artist - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/titane-captures-the-weird-wonderful-world-of-chosen-families monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/66c58c09-791c-4b3e-adc1-95529ba00c15/Marylou%2Bposter.jpeg Features - Titane Captures the Weird, Wonderful World of Chosen Families When I was 18, I had a few good mates. One was a small man in his fifties who wore a ruffle cravat and liked playing show tunes at the piano. Another was a biker in his late thirties who had a gun collection in his house. And then there were all the people I'd catch regularly at bars like The Joiners Arms in Hackney or Camden’s The Good Mixer. People who were older, stranger and bolder than myself. People who had stories to tell, but didn't always tell them. People who, somehow, made me feel more comfortable and free than anyone I went to college with. At the time, I thought I must be a real freak. Why couldn't I make friends with people my own age, and do normal things like gossip about boys and dance to Taio Cruz in the club (this was 2010)? But as I got older I realised that it's fine to feel out-of-step with your most immediate peers. For queer people especially, it's normal to forge your own community outside the confines of what's expected – this is a language we speak fluently. And for queer people who have been rejected by blood relatives (which does not include me), chosen families are often a part of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ccf7629-5b1f-469e-bd8d-b95cbac3d164/Titane-Spot-2%2B%281%29.jpeg Features - Titane Captures the Weird, Wonderful World of Chosen Families - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/my-little-space monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b623d840-8e4e-4e68-ad07-fa3c7bb5336a/Mylittlespace%2B%281%29.jpg Features - My Little Space Revisits the Childhood Bedroom as an Adult What we had in mind were the growth and development, both intimate and personal, in the same space where childhood and teenage years have been lived.

These contradictory images of sweet, young girls who were both virginal yet highly sexualised became the dominant archetype of what a girl should be. Then Avril Lavigne came along. When Avril Lavigne’s debut album Let Go was released in 2002, I was obsessed. Who wasn’t? The image of this baggy-clothed and heavy eye make-up-wearing teen struck a chord that I still struggle to articulate. Avril wasn’t afraid to irritate people; to call a person out, to tell a boy to fuck off, to be angry when she was angry, and to sing about it to the whole world in a way that her contemporaries seemed to veer away from. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/angel-on-speed-dial-how-should-i-find-a-new-love-interest monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1b2cc27-6187-406f-a90b-9633e607685d/jaliessa.png Features - Angel on Speed Dial: How Do I Find a New Love Interest? - Make it stand out YOU ASKED: How should I find a new love interest?

For the obvious reason of her comparatively tiny height of 5”5, but also she had the kind of main character energy that gave IT girl rather than clothes horse. This was a time when IT girls had very few channels to portray their IT factor, and none directly in their control, yet her personality was so compelling that, even without a social media narrative, Devon still inspired a cult fanship that felt very much personality driven. The first time I remember being struck by an image of Devon was in this March 2000 shoot for Vogue Paris by Satoshi Saikusa. I loved her because she felt teenage and rebellious, grunge as well as glamour. It’s a weird thing to say about someone so beautiful but something about Devon also felt attainable to preteen me. She was impish rather than ethereal, someone I could try to emulate unlike the issue’s cover model Rhea Durham, who seemed so grown up and refined. A quick aside - one thing that continues to frustrate me is how long I have to spend researching to find out who did the makeup on these older shoots. On this occasion I literally had to buy the magazine on eBay to find and properly credit the makeup to James Kaliardos yet the photographer and stylist (Isabella Blow, of course) are listed everywhere online. Especially annoying when I think that the beauty work in this shoot is - although low key and naturalistic - an essential part of the myth making of Devon Aoki. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/brain-v-body-how-gendered-illnesses-affect-non-binary-people monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4f5dbb31-93ee-474c-827e-4c66d59edfb8/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2022-03-21%2Bat%2B1.52.11%2BPM.jpeg Features - Brain v.

For those that don't know, 'SLIP SLAP SLOP' is a campaign slogan to remind people to protect themselves from sun damage when at the beach: slip on a shirt, slap on a hat and slop on some suncream. These are those sweaty, tantrum-filled, sunburnt family beach days out I am from Sydney and spent my childhood there but then moved to London for my teen years where I now still live and work.14 years on, I still miss Sydney. I miss beach culture. As I've grown up, I've come to realise that nothing quite soothes me like the sound of waves washing up on the sand. They make me feel safe and whisper the remnants of happy childhood memories in my ear. I wanted to create work in my home city that not only laughs at the dry, graceless side of white beach culture but also to merge my present with my past and honour the memory I hold in my head of sitting in my mothers arms, staring at the evening waves after a long day of swimming and sibling fights. The peace amongst chaos. And everything it has given me since. SLIP SLAP SLOP shows the chaos, but it makes me remember the evening peace.

Art Assassin: How I Set Up a Project Space In these columns, I will describe Arcadia Missa’s trajectory, from a project space and studios to a commercial gallery and small publishing house. My main role now is as a gallerist. The role of the gallery in relation to artists can be confusing and oblique if coming to contemporary art from the outside—I’ll be going into more detail on the artist-gallerist relationship in subsequent columns, but for now, I do want to say that it’s a big red flag if a gallery asks you to pay them a hire fee to do a show. Arcadia Missa was set up in 2011. Coming out of university, I’d just started to enjoy talking about art and having a sort of place of assembly, so I felt a need to create space to continue enjoying and exploring this. How I set up Arcadia Missa can’t really be used as much of a guide—although I had seen London rapidly gentrified, become more expensive and untenable for many to live in, looking back on 2011 from 2022, it definitely was an easier time. My university fees were £3,000 a year. I took the tuition fees and maintenance loans and worked 4 days a week. I don’t know if I would have gone to art school if I faced today’s living costs and tuition fees of £9,000 a year. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/hot-and-sexy-digital-collage monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ba4086ce-4054-48cc-a69a-46e9c25a0136/HYoungblood_Rubenesque.jpg Features - Check Out These Hot and Sexy Digital Collages Playing with sexual absurdism, rejecting conservatism, embracing sweetness and serenity.

Whores are seldom invited to these shows of solidarity, in fact quite often we’re explicitly left off the guest list, our very presence can be enough (apparently) to confirm the hold that patriarchy has over society. Us poor broken hookers, with our poor broken bodies, and poor broken childhoods aren’t considered an acceptable addition to the movement when we’re asking for rights. We host our own, of course. No one throws a protest like prostitutes, we use our bodies in ways that have feminists screaming at our complicity with patriarchy, I’ve honestly never known one group of people get so upset at bare flesh. They can scream all they want, nudity certainly helps to pull a crowd. The issue is, those of us who take to the streets - all bare flesh, loud voices and smoke cannons - are the ones for whom visibility comes easy. For some, visibility can be fatal. I say that with no irony, no exaggeration - for some whores, visibility kills. We lose our lives by the hands of men, but also by the hand of the state. Poverty is and always will be the most prolific serial killer. There’s a rumour that floats around that sex work is the largest direct transfer of wealth from rich to poor. I’ve never quite caught the source of this elusive fact; like so many aspects of the industry, it’s not easily accessible. Maybe it’s not even correct - I’ve heard it and spoken it so many times that maybe it’s just been willed into truthfulness. If we take this as fact, though, then we can see why the vast majority of the sex work population gets left out of marches… because famously poor people are excluded from loud and shouty movements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb296876-7229-431a-8ef6-43f15ef145c9/24D00B72-BAF5-4291-9427-162973A0FE3B.jpeg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Protests for Prostitutes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/596b016b-2caf-4d99-a0c5-443019416826/0A22AD2D-6B17-4CD9-A026-AE976659C900.jpeg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Protests for Prostitutes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/moon-power-make-up monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1b3b9ebb-cd05-437e-b90f-c1e4d60f6479/IMG_3963.jpg Features - Moon Power Make-Up Focuses on Anime’s Heroines ‘MOON POWER MAKE-UP’ is a beauty editorial which celebrates the strength and femininity of anime heroines, capturing both their toughness and softness; the title being a double entendre of cosmetics and the phrase Sailor Moon famously shouts during transformation.

Hi, we are SickSadGirlz We’re Rosa Mercuriadis and Kenzie Bryant and we started a cozy corner of the internet called SickSadGirlz. It’s a community for anyone who has ever felt sick, ever felt sad or ever felt like a girl, come join us on Instagram to read girlz stories, lol at memes and find out about our weekly community meetings where we share our experience, strength and hope with one another to help carry the burden of existence! We bring our own experience with physical, mental and spiritual illness to the table in hopes it will emancipate us from suffering alone and empower others to share their own stories. Kenzie is a songwriting queen with a heart condition (it’s literally to big, but the same could definitely be said figuratively.) Rosa is a music exec with 12 years sobriety and a list of lupus symptoms as far as the eye can see. Together we try to face life in the way that it feels rather than in the insurmountable list of things we have to face as women with physical, mental and spiritual health conditions. When we entered the Polyester Dollhouse we immediately felt at home and convinced the Polyester crew to let us invade with our very own brand of coziness! So here we are!

My parents used to tell me that the past should be left by the wayside, that everything unfortunate that happened in the past should be ignored, and that life should move on. They said that resentments will fade away as wounds heal on their own. Personally, I don’t believe that reflecting on the past implies becoming trapped in it or refusing to move forward. To my surprise, immersing myself in memories and taking a fresh look at them enabled me to define my artistic practice and visual style. Rather than running away from traumatic events, I transform them into new images by filtering them through the lenses of magic, nostalgia, and humor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4630d8ed-4039-472e-8ba2-beed989881b4/WatchingTv2.jpg Features - Caterpillar Girls is the 3D Art Series Exposing Gender as a Social Construct - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-greta-isaac monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/da9e68dd-645e-4420-9b09-9ab8bb4cf7b6/gretta.png Features - Glad Rags: Greta Isaac Get your glad rags on gang!

As well as how she dealt with the discourse surrounding her appearance, and what roles she'd most like to play next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b69ec534-5bf1-4878-bc72-1ca7ff714785/Smiles4Milesaltcrop.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/127f76f2-778b-4bb0-b495-224aa0470eda/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR%2B%2814%29%2BFINAL.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ba4882e-af06-40b0-8e0d-8537d4c09862/PolyesterChloeCherry_COLLAGE04FINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/38b9d565-eba3-4024-b3ac-dbe7462b5d82/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2833%29-FinalWeb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f2e22159-1e3b-448f-82d2-d8fdd23d2ba8/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2845%29AFINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd3ec815-033e-4304-9ee6-1f296605efd9/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2844crop%29FINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fbdb175b-56b9-43d2-a3ce-0edc18ce3c75/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2843%29-FinalWeb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d51a32c-4349-46e8-9fee-40cd531ed809/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2836%29-FINAL-Web%281%29.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b289db9b-94bc-4dd8-a4f7-086b3251ba90/PolyesterChloeCherry_COLLAGE01FINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/41ba3915-29d9-45e3-a03b-514ecfce4cf1/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2812%29FINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d65d4ce7-a5fb-43cd-b559-f8024a919151/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2810%292FINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a0ce833-7946-4248-b8bf-f2c12b4b20d1/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2819%29-FINALweb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aacb3604-cbb5-49b2-ab18-8f6cdec8c63e/ChloeCherryPolyesterHR-%2817%29FINAL-sqWeb.jpg Features - Chloe Cherry is TV's Most Loveable Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/pip-millett-on-friendship-loss-and-her-new-single-ride-with-me monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ea4a2f71-538f-4251-bb00-f7f032f173b8/pip.png Features - Pip Millett on Friendship, Loss and Her New Single 'Ride With Me' Manchester singer-songwriter Pip Millett is a rising star.

I wrote this album trying to digest the past 7 years of my life. The star chasing, the glamour, the fun, the shit, the gas lighting, the stress, all the places, all the people, the power-alien-fantastical-dream-explosive journey. When I pulled the plug in 2019, realising I needed to focus on my mental as well as general health, my whole world was spinning. It took me a long time, and I still don’t see things clearly (if such a thing is even possible). It just so happens that I took a break right as the world ground to a halt due to covid and I found myself spinning, processing, and reflecting along with everyone else. Writing this album helped me digest it all and sink back into a less spinning self. This is what I remember: https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-safe-and-environmental-sickness monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2eddb5bb-3d10-455a-8880-e70ae7df419c/safe%2B1.jpg Features - Film Fatale: Safe and Environmental Sickness Are You Allergic to the 21st Century? Amongst the pastel furnishings and pearl necklaces, Carol White (Julianne Moore) is getting sicker. To make things worse, no one really believes her. But why would they? Her life is beautiful, yet she still passes out at the baby shower and her nose bleeds after she gets a perm. From the get-go, Carol keeps her distance from everyone; she doesn’t speak much (when she tries, she’s talked over) and she’s always perched slightly too far from whoever she’s with. She’s a lonely woman lost in her own surroundings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4cbedbf7-3b6b-45dd-a39a-4c808d0fa781/safe%2B2.jpg Features - Film Fatale: Safe and Environmental Sickness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c492fb5-57a5-4d74-85bc-9523ba7d5c9e/safe%2B3.jpg Features - Film Fatale: Safe and Environmental Sickness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/mina-le-is-writing-fashion-history monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9334f9df-e8ee-41a5-a37f-ae2aa24e78cf/Mina%2BLe%2Bcover.jpg Features - Mina Le is Writing Fashion History It’s 2010 and you’re holed up in your bedroom after another terrible day at school.

At least, this is how we think of her today, with the words sapphic and lesbian originating from her name and home island of Lesbos. Yet, her identity and the desires expressed in her poems have been debated for thousands of years. Sappho has always been an icon for her poetry, her talent garnering her title of the “Tenth Muse” or “The Poetess”. As would be expected, her legacy has prevailed through millennia. The love that she professed for women in her poetry couldn’t be erased, despite the efforts of multiple generations; no matter what, she remains the lesbian icon. This is the story of the creation of the original lesbian look. A quick note: This column is not about Sappho’s actual sexuality. Instead, this the story of how Sappho has become a figurehead of lesbian iconography. The clothes she wore (or the clothes we think she wore) are lesbian because they’ve has been claimed as lesbian. To quote Laura Darling’s fantastic article about Sappho on the podcast Making Queer History, “she is a symbol. Despite the efforts of biased academics, she will remain that for many years to come.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ebc59bf0-ba45-4d22-8751-317537ad9493/unnamed+%282%29.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Sappho and the Original Lesbian Look - Make it stand out Lawrence Alma-Tadema, ‘Sappho and Alcaeus’, oil on panel, 1881.

Quickie with an Artist: Maisie Cousins - Make it stand out Maisie Cousins is a photographer of grotesque beauty. Her images are slimy, juicy and utterly satisfying, making you want to push your fingers into the image and onto the skin of her subjects. She had no hesitation in shooting Bjork and Anna Calvi with intense detail, every hair on their faces visible. Her work has been exhibited across London, Los Angeles and Milan where the sheer evocative, indulgent nature of her work forces you to take notice. She’s one of a kind. We got her to answer some pressing questions: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/733f1ae5-a0b7-45ea-8313-17b5073dce14/maisie-cousins-13.jpg Features - Quickie with an Artist: Maisie Cousins - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b2ec5ab-7564-42e4-ae2e-26b38624acd4/e6c802b1f6f1d68d0483e42311581d39.jpg Features - Quickie with an Artist: Maisie Cousins - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-how-do-i-keep-my-eye-makeup-in-place monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2087b841-9bb7-49f9-bda3-bb8d0099dbf7/alex1+%281%29.png Features - Agony Al: How do I Keep My Eye Makeup in Place? - Make it stand out You asked: how do I keep my eye makeup in place? When I asked for your beauty dilemmas this month, I was inundated with questions about making eye makeup last: everything from eye primers for hooded lids, stopping eyeliner smudging, and how to prevent leaking eyes. It feels like the perfect time to answer all of your eye makeup questions, because I’m going through a breakup with my first love, so am in a near constant state of hysteria. IT. IS. ROUGH. I’m somebody that cries regularly anyway, but the thought of spending my life without my 6” emotional support butch has my eyes streaming more than usual. If I don’t take concrete steps to budge proof my makeup, I look like Alice Cooper five minutes after I’ve applied my mazzy. There’s so much shame around being emotional post breakup; we’re encouraged to win by moving on fast, sucking up our tears, and carrying on like everything is normal. I’ve been telling people that I’m doing absolutely fine post breakup with 3/4 of my eyebrows shaved off and an open wound on my undereye where I used nail scissors to gouge out my millia. I am NOT fine! Crying is healing, so why are we made to feel ashamed of doing it? It’s a huge adjustment to lose the person in your life you were closest to. I won’t stop crying, but I won’t let it ruin my beat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f985e450-6a7e-4c8d-af2a-968298f21993/alex2.png Features - Agony Al: How do I Keep My Eye Makeup in Place?

This year feels like a fresh slap for me because I was happily in a long term relationship for the previous five, and it lead to me thinking about breakups and heartache as acts of self destructive empowerment. I remember my favourite ever Polyester event, Valentine’s Day HeartBreak Karaoke hosted by me at The Curtain in London, and participating in a panel discussion about breakups with glamour gal Honey Kinney. I have personal sorrow down to a fine art. I moped around the house listening to tragic music, I flung drinks out of windows, moisturised my skin with my own tears. I also made a zine after I caught a boyfriend cheating on me, chronicling my anger, trauma and sexual healing. I exhibited this zine (and an altar covered in the pages from it) in a gallery in Brighton with the now defunct Trace art collective. In going through my archives, I also found this great list on how to get over a break up that I think was included in the marketing for the show, and I was pleasantly surprised about how relevant it still is. So as my Valentine’s Day gift to you, I present you with: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7659551e-d0e9-4a82-8f7d-535e3d213b50/20.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Best Breakup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d4d57cae-f5cd-4ad5-ae1f-a8c28a2ea221/15+%281%29.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Best Breakup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/576ce020-0e57-4d99-a0d7-99b7d419003b/17.jpg Features - Culture Slut: The Best Breakup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/we-go-together-now-or-nah monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69d5ae2c-4bc4-4279-b8e9-2844c9578f32/marquita.png Features - We Go Together Now or Nah - Make it stand out Weary of all the “talking” stages and wasted interactions that ended in ghosting, I decided some years ago to take a step back from romance and focus on my mental health. I could no longer endure sitting over a cocktail across from someone who declares themselves a “sapiosexual” because they nut every time they hear an SAT word. I would feel physically ill having to answer questions like “why don’t you want to have kids?” and finding it hard to restrain myself from knocking over my tequila and screaming “because I don’t want to turn my vagina into a gore tunnel! Is that okay with you chief?” I could not handle any more suggested Myers-Briggs questionnaires and synastry chart evaluations. No more “do you like pineapple on your pizza?” taste assessments. Just spit in my mouth and get my name tattooed on your clavicle already, I can’t take it! It’s easy to get burnt out from dating because so much of it is affectation, repetition and feigning interest in trivial shit. I want only mention Béla Tarr and pretend to care that you’re learning macramé. You ask me what I like to do for fun and I try to answer like I haven’t been asked that a painful amount of times. And as much as I wish I could just lock eyes with a beautiful stranger in the Trader Joe’s as we both reach for the cookie butter, we live in a time where swiping on dating apps is the reality and it’s very exhausting. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/berries-amp-dream monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f8abbaa2-3b39-4ca6-83ec-58e6bce5cd7b/1Y7A0574.jpg Features - Berries &amp; Dream is All About the Dreams of Childhood - Make it stand out Berries and Dream is inspired by childlike fantasy and, of course, fruit.

Makeup tips for dry, winter skin. I promised a part two to my dry, winter skin regimen and the universe really delivered for you, because my skin has never been more parched. For almost two weeks, I’ve been bed bound with a hacking cough, phlegm so gluey you could paper walls with it, and a body weighed down with aches all over. The worst part? I was isolating in my butch girlfriend’s flat: the land that skincare forgot. I didn’t think my biologically leathery skin could get more dry, but wiping my nose with her eco toilet paper (good for the environment, really scratchy), washing my face with bar soap and sleeping on a bed that doesn’t have satin pillowcases has really shown me that it can get much, much worse. Thankfully, I’m back at home and reunited with my precious humidifier, fancy bedding and creams. I’ve been marinating in moisturiser, but the damage has been done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2de9efb0-9e86-411b-8e3f-a1e40347b434/al2.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c2f664d7-8ad1-40e0-8684-db06beff00ad/al3.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c830b9bc-4ac8-48a8-bb54-fd6ea153b245/al4.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc7e9ee4-5bbb-498b-9945-060f3cb69c5b/al5.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/47ba36d1-b371-4ce8-9635-e772af1274b0/al6.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/381f4c46-8d0d-4017-a716-fdb07298981c/al7.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39bcdc93-7260-42bb-8f47-0abcee3b224a/al8.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81196b81-5277-45d1-98d8-eabb08c6a9b5/al8.5.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/08ffee92-a46e-450c-9e91-8370409b4cb1/al9.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/296871ce-5168-458d-87bd-bf140e4056c0/al10.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69b351af-c90c-4cc7-93f3-8fcae89934f9/al11.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21821b4f-cbc6-443f-8b20-905bb2381c6c/al12.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1850a30c-155b-4a40-9dd6-85bdd4a06b4a/al14.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19592c94-b9a8-4263-b6fd-2c7a1b3304d5/al16.png Features - Agony Al: Makeup Tips for Dry, Winter Skin&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/bet-on-rio-romeo monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c298e938-9c90-4b0e-98c6-29b77493369e/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2846%29.png Features - Rio Romeo is Our Valentine this Year - Make it stand out Rio Romeo is an interdisciplinary artist based just outside of Los Angeles.

It’s an umbrella term that’s used for anything that is distasteful, cheesy, kitsch, camp, overly sentimental etc., and was being used to describe the films, and particularly the women in these films, of Pedro Almodóvar. By the tone of voice and scrunched up face of the teacher as she said it, cursi felt like it was supposed to be a negative word, but I could only hear positives, these were some of my favourite adjectives. Despite the negative connotations of the word, cursi is probably the easiest and most accurate description of an Almodóvar film. They’re sumptuous melodramas, that differ from each other – some make you laugh while others make you cry, some are irreverent and fun while others challenge your thoughts. What remains the same throughout his repertoire are the Pop Art colour palettes and incredible outfits. Squeaky voiced Kika (Verónica Forqué) flits about in floral flirty dresses in Kika (1993), while in Talk to Her (2002), Lydia (Rosario Flores) cuts an incredibly sexy, androgynous figure in her dramatic Matador outfit. Two very different looks that instantly distinguishes their personalities, but equally flamboyant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b95a915c-61df-401c-b4a4-81e57e6cebbb/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2844%29.png Features - I Want To Be an Almodóvar Girl - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-autistic-whoring-or-an-anti-work-manifesto monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9028606f-0f68-40c0-91d2-0cb3ee208201/qwc%2Bautistic%2Bwhoring%2B1.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Autistic Whoring, or An Anti-Work Manifesto - Make it stand out There are not that many things that are for certain, in this life, but so far, this much I know for sure: put a comraderie of sex workers in a room, and leave them to chat about anything, and two things are almost guaranteed to happen. We will always start complaining and swapping horror stories about clients - we all have some, whether scary, disgusting or funny, and sharing them in those makeshift, spontaneous circles is one of those rituals that keep us sane and heal us from stigma. And there will always be someone who mentions being neurodivergent, followed by at least one other who will chime “Me too!”, as excited as the only two visibly queer people at an extended conservative family function. The thrill of joy in recognition of shared experiences never gets old, at least for me. Neurodivergence is a broad category. The term was coined by an autistic sociologist, Judy Singer, to move away from overtly pathologising descriptors and emphasize that ‘divergent’ neurotypes, while potentially impairing, are not in and of themselves ‘disordered’, but rather a part of natural human diversity. Other than autism and ADHD, neurodivergence encompasses a number of different ‘conditions’ (reductive and controversial though this term may be), such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, Tourette’s, OCD, and a host of other developmental/learning disabilities. This, plus the variety of ways each of these can present in every different person affected, mean that there are virtually infinite possible perspectives on sex work and neurodivergence (and mine is limited to only what I have experienced - namely, on how autism and ADHD affect full service sex work). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd03fc0a-05d0-4460-a1ad-bb4282bc281a/qwc%2Bautistic%2Bwhoring%2B2.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Autistic Whoring, or An Anti-Work Manifesto - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6219df58-a777-4490-8367-821ad934014a/qwc%2Bautistic%2Bwhoring%2B3.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Autistic Whoring, or An Anti-Work Manifesto - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-archivist-mcqueen-97 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b54af4ca-fbe4-415a-b0fb-360d77d800d6/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2834%29.png Features - Beauty Archivist: McQueen '97 - Make it stand out It’s 1997 and you’re sitting cross legged on the floor of Borough Market, cig in hand. It's the 90’s, so think grim industrial space below some train tracks, not expensive groceries. It’s dark with a sort of malevolent red light that barely illuminates the faces of the people sitting next to you. The crowd is really rowdy and gate crashers have knocked through the metal barriers. The front row is fashion students and anyone that could push up front, both Gallagher brothers and Joan Collins are somewhere in the crush but the Harrods team turned up then left. You’re at Lee McQueen’s first show - under brand name Alexander McQueen - since his widely trashed debut with Givenchy. Stella Tennant opens the show, but it’s hard to tell it’s even her because of two deep slashes of eyeliner totally obscuring her optical bone, carving her temples and almost disfiguring her nose; pinching it into an entirely different proportion. Then Debra Shaw, her face also totally remodelled by the two dark shapes and one white contact lens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ee0b3a0-5be6-4ee6-af35-7d8dc2e2d19f/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2836%29.png Features - Beauty Archivist: McQueen '97 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-the-rise-of-female-rap-has-impacted-amp-empowered-modern-rnb-voices monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b853e5c3-53c6-468b-ace2-2c01352f1f72/gladrags.png Features - How the Rise of Female Rap has Impacted and Empowered Modern R’n’B Voices - Make it stand out When I first started focusing on making music I already knew a lot of the traditional R&B like the back of my hand. The way it was made, the structure, the sounds - all very predictable. The stories that were told were heavily based on love and heartbreak. Every song was either about missing someone or loving someone hard. For me, I feel as though these stories are told best in R&B compared to any other genre. No other genre can compare when it comes to these feelings being expressed through music. Over time, I noticed that the stories were told in the same way, over and over again, which is great and fine, but every genre must move forward and has to merge with other elements of music in order to stay interesting. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-we-can-learn-from-real-housewives monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ae44a44-d4b8-4c4b-bd3a-0ea562ac62df/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2822%29+%281%29.png Features - What We Can Learn From Real Housewives - Make it stand out My obsession with Real Housewives has baffled many of my friends, family and partners, they can’t fathom how I can sit there and watch entitled women scream at each other while they wear a dress worth more than my car. The fascination began during my first degree, I caught an episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and something about the bleached hair and shiny jewels lulled me into an almost catatonic state. When you’re someone whose worth is tied to productivity, it’s a god-send when you come across something that allows you to truly relax. Real Housewives however, offers something more than just a substance free form of escapism; it’s a grotesque staging of the consequences for women when aligning themselves with the Patriarchy. As you can imagine, most of the housewives got where they are largely on looks with the various franchises made up of either former models or pageant girls. The few that were neither of these most likely still enjoyed the spoils of pretty privilege, allowing them to achieve what they probably didn’t deserve to achieve. Who can blame these women when most of us are raised to value their looks above all else. Some of us aren’t as fortunate to be born as the standard, and so we either have to brutalise ourselves in order to meet it or rip out the internal narrative installed in us and rebuild our self-worth from the ground up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c1ac741-21ad-4ec4-ac27-c68b04d10c74/realhousewives.png Features - What We Can Learn From Real Housewives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-dirty-versachi monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bfe861a6-8234-4568-a220-47478e61b8e6/gladraggs.png Features - Glad Rags: Dirty Versachi - Make it stand out Get your glad rags on gang!

But what about more recent drag king fashion history? How did we get from the breeches-wearing women of the 18th century to drag kings as we know them today? The past and our present are linked materially, by commonalities in the clothes that adorn out bodies, and this is no less true for those who take to the stage in tuxedos and trousers, drawn-on moustaches and slicked-back hair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d4696b5-4b37-4db9-be01-aed780a4ea9a/unnamed+%283%29.png Features - Dressing Dykes: The History of the Lesbian Drag King, Part 2 - Make it stand out Vesta Tilley, c. 1900.

Exploring the space, Ambar found a large Victorian era dollhouse in Automata's basement, and used it as her main subject and inspiration. With dolls and props purchased from the historic craft store Kit Kraft (now sadly closed), she created scenarios involving three young dolls staying home and having a quiet night. Unbeknownst to them, they were in a haunted house. Inspired by films like "Hausu" (1977) and "Black Christmas" (1974) where a group of girls face death and other frights, MY DOLLHOUSE takes on this horror genre in surprising ways. IN this case, the young dolls encounter a hungry soul-eating (doll)house.

I asked what type of tutorials you wanted from me this year, and it seems every one of you is enrolling at Euphoria High, because the response was OVERWHELMINGLY in favour of editorial graphic liner. My New Years rezzy is to break out of my makeup rut (and, as it has been for the past five years, to learn the splits. Maybe this year binge watching Cheer will give me the push I deserve?), and Euphoria-esque liner is the perfect way to do that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2ebbd685-329f-48f1-893b-f8e8c3d555f5/al1.png Features - Agony Al: How Can I Get More Editorial with My Makeup?

You’d think it was some twee statement, casting off technology for the purity of art. But instead, I was 13 and miserable, on Easter holiday from school, and my mum had confiscated my devices after I wrote her a letter and slid it under her bedroom door to tell her I was self-harming and I had finally accepted that I needed support. I thought I was damaged goods, she thought the internet was poisoning me. I think I resented her for years, still touchy when my parents need to borrow my phone or want to see what I’m doing online, but I get it more and more as the years go by. At 23, I’m getting close to what she must have felt, that understanding panging at me each time I scroll on TikTok and see pale thighs in American Apparel skirts, Skins clips discovered by a new audience and a fresh generation talking about Tumblr’s old toxic indie sleaze aesthetic without knowing what it was like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db307078-3040-4785-97ed-c714e9ca8ae9/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2820%29.png Features - I Need to Talk About What Tumblr Was Really Like - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/behind-the-salad-pt-3 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93ded4da-8ca7-4d03-ab9b-c002cb47979d/finalbts%2B2%2B%281%29.jpeg Features - Behind The Salad Pt. 3, On Being Arab Americans - Make it stand out In this three-part video series, our favorite sister-collaborator duo are telling us more about the web series Between Two Salads, explore sense of identity through setting (cities), as sisters and finally as Arab Americans.

The shops are out of fresh food because this is Post -Brexit Britain, so you have the pack of Super Noodles at the back of your cupboard you’ve been saving for a rainy day.

I really don't. Yet I keep doing it. Over and over and over again. I let them fuck me from behind, doggy-style, missionary or 69. Sometimes I fuck them. Hard. I ride them until their eyes roll back in their heads and they can't control how their faces contort. I suck them off, I lick their balls, I scratch their chest and bite their lips. Not too hard though – I need to provide the perfect girlfriend experience. I'm a lesbian, and I'm a whore. Society often paints sex workers as hypersexual straight, cis women – sensual seductresses who enjoy the attention they get from men. This does not account for the many non-binary and trans sex workers, queer workers in general, and workers who don’t experience a lot of sexual attraction/gratification, if any. Demisexuality falls on the asexual spectrum; it generally means only being attracted to people after a strong bond has been formed. For many demisexuals, sex is not a high priority, even in relationships. For me, it often means thinking of sex makes me feel a bit grossed out, or that I simply don't feel like it. The majority of my physical needs can be met by hugging my friends, holding hands or cuddling. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy sex full stop, just that it doesn't rate high on my list of preferred activities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b470748-34d1-4786-8366-a1bc2dc4cff0/Postbutt%232%2BChaoying%2BRao%2B2021.jpg Features - Queer Whore Collective: Straight for Pay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/surrealogy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d7266ed-3251-4043-a612-f82c8a0c922a/gemini.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Are you confused by your past? Are you dreading your future? Are the two starting to fuse together, turning your brain into mush, while you try to process everything that was and everything that will be at the same time? Let us show you one of the possible future worlds. Surrealogy is a collection of 12 images based on the zodiac signs. The work took two years to complete, from careful planning to meticulous shooting to arduous post-production. It is now finished, it is complete, it is alive. Surrealogy = the surreal + astrology, transforming all the star signs into visions of the uncanny, sights of the unseen, depictions of the inexplicable. A collaboration between graphic artist Fanny Pápay and photographer Éva Szombat, both well known for their style and substance in their native Hungary, Surrealogy is a collection of the zodiac signs, illustrated by a stream of free association symbols and signifiers, from lava lamps in transparent shoes through bizarre contact lenses to miniature glacier water bottles hydrating the tears of an angel, images of the unreal, of nature off the track, of time out of joint, of emotions running amok. Telling your future was never so deliciously depraved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1069df12-9ab4-4c52-a493-b2be9f10b5e5/kos.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e758ecba-2df1-4906-8244-113da7c8840d/leo1.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7839fc7-5269-46b7-9bc5-c82778c59923/nyilas.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fda7ce2-d12c-4c29-8fc4-25d023f52334/Surrealogy2.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1c772bfa-a64c-467b-b73b-7ca3ce5c8ac1/Surrealogy1.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9354329d-6891-42e0-8d34-a4b85ddcf51a/Surrealogy3.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/11096da5-f0ff-4c41-ae38-077e36e67ed1/Surrealogy7.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fd4be5dd-46bf-45eb-a8ff-89aba348c738/Surrealogy9.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24da31ab-8ad0-44af-82ba-33446e6e02e6/Surrealogy10.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49ee7937-a66b-4ae0-890d-85df0dfe189f/Surrealogy11.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/328d17d1-69c6-47b8-a20f-e654b3058e01/Surrealogy12.jpg Features - Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dedicated-to-the-press-they-are-more-interested-in-fame-than-revolution monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e38ff9be-7c5a-4bc4-bbe7-43114f3d7b6d/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2811%29+%281%29.png Features - Dedicated to the Press: They are More Interested in Fame Than Revolution! - Make it stand out The third and finale part of this column will illustrate how feminists Germaine Greer and Gloria Steinem were able to control the way mainstream media publications represented them and retained their intellectualism, because their feminist politics was seen as harmless. Revolutionary Assata Shakur, (a leading figure in the 1970s Black Liberation Army) like Kate Millett and Angela Davis, was treated with little respect by mainstream media publications because they fought for the abolition of the patriarchy, capitalism and other forms of oppression. Mainstream media publications worked to delegitimise Shakur, Millett and Davis because their politics threatened commercial media. Millett and Davis possessed no control over how mainstream media publications in the 1970s portrayed them. Steinem did not share this experience when she became associated with the WLM. After a prolific freelance writing career that cultivated her celebrity in the 60s, Steinem's political interests and writing led her into women’s politics in the 70s. Steinem often recounts that her feminist awakening occurred when she attended an abortion hearing in 1969 for New York magazine. As someone who had an illegal abortion, Steinem realised that she shared the same secret as other women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b37d35f5-2222-4014-bbed-5846ef32457f/Screenshot%2B%28898%29.png Features - Dedicated to the Press: They are More Interested in Fame Than Revolution! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/250d72da-101b-4d24-a474-9aff28d6a48b/1ff5b0abc219739691591a5f66e037f8.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press: They are More Interested in Fame Than Revolution! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f73c9758-7b86-4b6d-9fc4-a64fef79791e/fbtzzfms5diy+%281%29.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press: They are More Interested in Fame Than Revolution! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4441b5a9-30b1-411b-b78c-35ee62b057d4/Assata-Shakur-716x1024+%281%29.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press: They are More Interested in Fame Than Revolution! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/behind-the-salad-pt-2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f758b33a-223c-4844-b584-6589ee378789/finalbts%2B2+%281%29.jpeg Features - Behind The Salad Pt. 2 Discusses Why Collaborating as Sisters is Especially Special - Make it stand out In this three-part video series, are favorite sister-collaborator duo are telling us more about the web series Between Two Salads, explore sense of identity through setting (cities), as sisters and finally as Arab Americans.

We can’t wait to see quantified figures describing our own listening habits, no, our own personalities, back to us. You think you played the new Lizzo song over a thousand times, and when Spotify tells you it was actually 1376 times you feel vindicated. You love seeing the analysis of your music taste, what genres you listen to most, how many minutes you’ve spent with one artist. You cant wait to proudly display your most played artists if you think they are cool, or share with your friends your truly unhinged listening choices. I had a friend (an editor of a certain zine) have both The Sims 2 soundtrack and the Trolls soundtrack show up in her top five, and if that's not something to be worried about then I don’t know what is. Personally, I am a devotee of the sad, the gloomy, and the heart wrenching. FKA Twigs’ sad/sexy masterpiece Cellophane has been in my top three most played songs every year since it’s first release, even in years where I hadn't gone through massive breakups. I am an absolute glutton for emotional terrorism and I relish every second of it. On the occasions I get ill and have to take to my bed for a few days, I play soft, mournful choral music and dream about my own death. I’ve even laid out my own fake flowers around my bed, as if it was Valentino’s funeral. I counted down the days before Beth Gibbons’ release of Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, poised in perfect anticipation for the agonies it could exact on my willing soul. When my five year relationship ended last summer, the only thing I could think of to bring me joy was compiling a playlist of the saddest songs I could find, and then lay in my bed, listening to it, doing nothing else but letting the waves of romantic generational sorrow wash over me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5dc9b301-0201-4803-9170-fa672f889184/sad%2Bsongs%2B2%2Bcopy.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: The Best Sad Songs Ever Written - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/glad-rags-anna-sofia monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b567fed8-f620-4378-9208-f7d12309c4d9/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2823%29.png Features - Glad Rags: Anna Sofia is Making Moves - Make it stand out Get your glad rags on gang because our newest column to join the Dollhouse is a look at some of our favourite musician's best garms.

Gladys Bentley: blues singer, tuxedo wearer and lady lover. In the words of Saidiya Hartman in her fantastic book Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, “Bentley was abundant flesh, art in motion.” In the words of Bentley herself, from 1952 when she had left the stage and all that came with it, “a big, successful star – and sad, lonely person.” There are many ways to read Bentley’s life, and one of them is through clothing. The clothes she wore not only had an impact when they were first paraded around the streets of New York City, but have continually influenced queer culture and fashion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9bad32b7-9bf5-48ad-9d23-648c3507aa52/unnamed%2B%281%29+%283%29.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: The Miraculous Masculinity of Gladys Bentley - Make it stand out Gladys Bentley, c. 1940.

I’ve nurtured, invested and overall gave my heart and soul to this project. Collectively, it has taken me about two years to write this record. Originally, the title of the EP was going to be called “Pollen” (like the 5th track on the project) with a mostly different track list, but it overall didn’t grab me the way I envisioned it would. And, one night, the word Telenovela came to me in a dream; and from that point on I knew what direction was calling me. My producer, Bryan Cardenas and I, scrapped most of the tracks and started from scratch. Beginning with such an attractive name such as Telenovela, the inspiration flowed through me like water. I had the color red in mind when writing my melodies and lyrics. Passion and lust are amongst my favorite things in life, so I like to have my music embody what the color red makes me feel like. To me, the story of Telenovela is a coming of age one, where metamorphosis prevails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2e9fc691-263a-4a55-b253-ce65dc776447/Andria%2BRose%2BPolyester%2BZine%2B1.jpg Features - Living a Telenovela Kind of Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/a-gift-certificate-to-get-my-favorite-cds monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04e62192-99d9-4f8e-8f74-1bf0a36f1acb/1%2B%283%29.jpg Features - Rebecca Black’s Xmas Playlist: A Gift Certificate to Get My Favorite CDs - Make it stand out ‘Tis the season dolls and we’re celebrating the holidays with an eight days of Christmas countdown a la Destiny’s Child. For the 3rd day of Xmas, when my baby gave to me a gift certificate to get my favorite CDs, Rebecca Black joined us with a playlist, with each track representing a city she’s playing on her “Rebecca Black Was Here” North American Tour. Images by Carianne Older. I had to kick off my Polyester Holiday Playlist with my brand new song “Read My Mind" featuring Slayyyter. One of the most exciting things about going on tour is getting to play my new music for the first time ever, including the songs off my last project "Rebecca Black Was Here”. It feels sooooo good to have this newest song drop right before it kicks off as a fresh surprise, especially since this tour is my first ever headlining tour. I am dedicating this playlist to songs + artists hailing from each place I'll get to visit on my “Rebecca Black Was Here” North American Tour this coming January, starting with a couple songs by a few of my favorite artists based from the DC/DMV area, Rico Nasty, Snail Mail, and Kali Uchis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1397385-6fd6-4d1d-9039-cf38433c1b4d/1%2B%282%29.jpg Features - Rebecca Black’s Xmas Playlist: A Gift Certificate to Get My Favorite CDs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/exploring-heartbreak-with-sasha-keable monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b225e746-6d74-4c29-9d68-4fde7c0bcedb/IMG_7257.jfif Features - Exploring Heartbreak with Sasha Keable - Make it stand out Sasha Keable is a force to be reckoned with.

Millett’s celebrity visibility was seen as unproductive by the radical and lesbian branch of the WLM, whereas the productivity of Davis’s celebrity to the communist movement outweighed the unproductive aspects of celebrity visibility. Millett became a member of National Organization for Women (NOW) when it was founded in 1966. NOW saw themselves as the spokespeople for the WLM, and from its formation, the positive portrayal of the Feminist movement was essential to them. This is evident in NOW's press handbook from 1971, adapted from NOW's 1968 Public Relations Guidelines. One of their main goals was to: 'give the general public an honest picture of the Feminist Movement.’ NOW wanted to ensure that they could control how the Feminist movement was portrayed to encourage recruitment and win community support. This is why NOW developed and distributed media kits to local chapters of the organisation; to ensure that members knew how to deal with the media to guarantee favourable coverage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9729a2b-8838-4178-94d9-1e9cbd40162b/FIG%2B1+%281%29.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press: No Bloody Leaders! - Make it stand out GETTY IMAGES: Two women toss items into the Freedom Trash Can while a female reporter looks on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/385c3699-0be6-45fd-ba58-91381bb1257a/FIG%2B2+%281%29.png Features - Dedicated to the Press: No Bloody Leaders! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fbf324a5-c3cf-493e-b90b-8a4b11171f25/FIG%2B3+%281%29.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press: No Bloody Leaders! - Make it stand out The Irish Times, 1971 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/34eb47ff-9695-477f-b7e3-d148cb130cb1/FIG%2B4.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press: No Bloody Leaders! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tracing-spaces monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/51f5be8e-b263-46d8-9b52-3be35f03e33e/TS_3.jpg Features - Tracing Spaces - Exploring Our Abortion Journeys - Make it stand out ‘We challenge the narrative that there are good, bad, acceptable or unacceptable abortions; People have abortions, and we support them.

Whatever your story, you are welcome here.’ Monday 1st November marked the end of the first (and maybe last) cycle of Tracing Spaces, a temporary support group living and breathing in a temporary space. Similar to Gordon Matta Clarke’s work interventions on buildings that will would soon demolished, Tracing Spaces was a temporary space for folks who had walked the abortion journey path during the pandemic to meet and explore their experience.

The lyrics and textures of the song evoke a sense of desperate discovery of having found something or someone that can't be ignored or given up– a realization that feels so resolute that the thought of life before it feels like a dream. The music video for Choose Me centers on an internal exploration of Khang's gender nonconformity. It features Khang and movement director Matilda Sakamoto, and follows the reckoning tension between the masculine and feminine aspects of a person's inner life through impressions of intrapersonal strain (as opposed to any hyper-characterized form of masculinity or femininity.), depicted through abstract scenes of obsession and violence, as well as ecstasy and bliss. Undertoning the video are visual inspirations from Japanese psychological thriller anime movie Perfect Blue (1997) and various Hong Kong new wave films. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/keep-your-eyes-peeled-for-poppy-otoole monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/24718ef6-c314-4a22-8dde-692ce5c585a5/poppycoveropt2%2Bpinktext.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out At the time of writing, it’s day 13 of Poppy O’Toole’s viral 25 Days of Potatoes AKA TaterTot day! Cushiony spuds — not to be confused with Poppy’s famous ‘Potato Pillows’ — are spiked with rock salt, and to the untrained eye bear a pleasing resemblance to the famous ‘15-Hour Potato’. The time-consuming tattie was Poppy’s most viral video of 2021 with a whopping 18 million views on TikTok and its own highlight reel on Instagram. By now, Poppy’s rags-to-riches story is cemented in social media folklore, she’s a breath of fresh air in the often-stuffy foodie arena and a poster girl for TikTok’s star-making power. A fairytale for the modern era, Poppy’s ascent from pandemic redundancy and being rejected for a job at Iceland to celebrity chef and getting gifted trips to Barbados is what #dreams are made of. But unlike the now-famous recipes, her success isn’t easily replicated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa4c9ebd-4fbd-41c8-a79c-57f5732f805e/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2021-12-16%2Bat%2B9.55.54%2BPM+%281%29.jpeg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48909767-0a9f-4e02-84df-13814f08c32a/poppyxpolyester3.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7b5b1626-859b-48ea-99da-1da7ca099e1e/poppyxpolyester4.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/845d3b4a-07f8-4223-b943-d9d4c4563d4f/poppyxpolyester1.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6689ca46-5659-430e-b0b1-8e2c62a6e2ff/poppyxpolyester2.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4501d197-4fe3-4ebc-84cf-cab1753f30d7/poppyxpolyester7.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b419326-39af-4d1c-9698-f4d5c6b3cd3f/poppyxpolyester5.jpg Features - Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Poppy O'Toole - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/going-steady-with-amelia-dimoldenberg monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/695c7f1c-2f97-437e-8fcd-6f09e637881a/amelia%2Bcover%2Bv3.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out In 2016, the bubblegum feminists of the internet were gifted a new catchphrase: Resting Bitch Face. The crux of the term was to criticise the notion that a woman who isn’t smiling - or looking interested at the very least - would be seen as a bitch by a patriarchal society. Because a resting bitch face, (also known as an RBF), was seen as undesirable to men, thousands of internet savvy millennials were practising their scowls for selfies and sitting sullenly in local coffee shops, while simultaneously taking Buzzfeed quizzes to see which celebrity RBF represented us the best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/992d3bb0-da9f-42dd-b4f4-40b536612ab8/ameliaxpolyester8.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/283ddca8-d4ee-4663-b23b-113cce095f5d/ameliaxpolyester6.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/956174fd-7521-4330-a983-c016c197f733/amelia-%2Bed%2Bsmall.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5819d17-8328-4c76-80ac-de7f92b66cf3/ameliaxpolyester1jpg.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ad335839-091e-4f88-9743-744523c0a35d/ameliaxpolyester2.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0cba8f15-3b57-4bc8-bde8-88ca8c7431e5/ameliaxpolyester4.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/30197f0c-ef25-4dbb-9a0f-03a858e24b85/ameliaxpolyester3.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/11fc663a-2f61-40af-bd7d-f0c0f608686f/ameliaxpolyester7.jpg Features - Going Steady with Amelia Dimoldenberg - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/queer-whore-collective-venus-in-furlough monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83bae438-0901-4254-8016-88c8c480c6ac/Untitled-1%2B%281%29.png Features - Queer Whore Collective: Venus in Furlough - Make it stand out When Covid-19 first took hold, people in recognised forms of employment began discussing the social distancing measures introduced in their workplaces; protective screens between desks…virtual meetings…work bubbles. Sex Workers tried their best to do the same. "We could offer medical roleplays using masks and latex gloves?" "What about financial domination where we just take the money and run?" "Does anyone know how to give a hands-free tantric orgasm?" "Should we just move over to Only Fans?" Sadly, though, the majority of bookings you get as a full-service sex worker (someone who has physical sexual contact with their clients) take place within 2 metres of your punter and involve swapping saliva. In my personal experience, the whole Pretty Woman 'no kissing on the lips' rule is more of a 'don't walk on the grass' kind of bylaw - unrealistic and hard to maintain. And while it was resourceful (as well as a testament to this community's creative spirit) to think up specialised roleplays as workarounds, it meant taking a huge financial hit, since the most common request we tend to get, the 'girlfriend experience', just couldn't be safely replicated under these new circumstances.

Covid prevented the gathering last year, and though the weather was against us this time, many turned out to hear the speakers and the recital of names being read aloud. The names ranged from the 70s to just this year, there were people who I had known, some I remembered from previous memorials, and some I heard for the first time. Many had no surnames, or were just nicknames; Auntie Phyllis, Pepper, Scottish John, people now who only exist in memories and stories. It was very moving, a necessary reminder of generational loss and community strength. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/93116e18-08f5-4029-900d-3f66d5b1e362/glory%2Bto%2Bjudy%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Why is Diva Worship Important to Gay People? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/saturday-yawning-with-flowerovlove monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd4438a8-f5bc-493c-a64c-c2b4809696dc/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2810%29.png Features - Saturday Yawning with Flowerovlove - Make it stand out Joyce Cisse AKA Flowerovlove is the definition of a London cool girl.

Some things I found again in a much better condition. Some things I’m destined to never reunite with. Some things I’m still waiting for. Everyone seems a bit lost lately too. The world is full of whispers which we can’t trust to hold onto. So we exist loosely. In my loose existence, the question ‘what is truth and what is fable?’ transfixed me. The question became my life source. I made 5 songs and 3 visual projects in response to it called ‘misconceptions’ and put it on the internet for any other lost people. Along the journey, I learnt a few things about the art of existing loosely which the lovely people at Polyester have asked me to share. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af013e8d-8daf-4b99-9db4-f1c738eee549/photo%2Bcredit%2B-%2BTheodorah%2BNdlovu%2B%40lifethroughmylense_pro.jpeg Features - Existing Loosely: A Guide To Being Lost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0f8db70b-7235-40f3-9cfb-908f8a7a9ea6/photo%2Bcredit%2B-%2BBridie%2BO%27Sullivan%2B%40bridieosullivan_.jpeg Features - Existing Loosely: A Guide To Being Lost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/016e6f5d-574d-4ef8-a23e-854557ee1ff9/2%2Bphoto%2Bcredit%2B-%2BTheodorah%2BNdlovu%2B%40lifethroughmylense_pro.jpeg Features - Existing Loosely: A Guide To Being Lost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c3bf8f2-a370-41d6-b7a7-f050dc5c2779/2%2Bphoto%2Bcredit%2B-%2BBridie%2BO%27Sullivan%2B%40bridieosullivan_%2B.jpeg Features - Existing Loosely: A Guide To Being Lost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dressing-dykes-the-history-of-the-lesbian-drag-king-part-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7d5dade7-e1d1-4714-be9f-a1bc31ad13d1/drag%2Bking2.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: The History of the Lesbian Drag King, Part 1 - Make it stand out It’s a common misconception that drag is a new phenomenon, but the history of drag can be traced back hundreds of years. The role of the drag king - these days, far less talked about than drag queens, and undeservedly so - has a long lineage, stretching back to travelling troupes of performers in the 1950s and 60s, the music hall of the 1900s and the stages of the 18th century. The thing that binds these stories together is the clothes worn on the bodies of these performers. Though we can never be sure of the gender or sexual identity of historical figures, particularly when they moved through the world in as non-normative a way as those I’m about to list, there’s a strong connection between drag king history and lesbian fashion history. In these stories, clothes become not just fabric but opportunity, trousers or breeches become not just two-legged garments but a symbol of freedom. A woman - or someone understood as a woman by the society around them - couldn’t dress in men’s clothing unless she had certain protections, such as the possession of immense wealth and an uncontestable social station. Barring this, a cross-dressing woman (who we could now read as a trans man) would need to live a full-time male lifestyle and be able to “pass” as a man. There was one alternative to either of these circumstances: all the way back in the 1700s and up to relatively recently, the one scenario where cross-dressing has been accepted by the general public is for that public’s entertainment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2117ed49-0873-4bce-a414-ec558a5d6ee7/unnamed%2B%281%29+%283%29.png Features - Dressing Dykes: The History of the Lesbian Drag King, Part 1 - Make it stand out Mademoiselle de Raucourt by Sigmund Freudenberger, 1772.

These images confront a contradiction of an emotional ambivalence modern glamour can have on us by how we are simultaneously freed by fashion yet also constricted by old ideas. The works of art the models wear challenge the stereotypical views on Romanian culture by using latex to express a contemporary state of view. The latex ages as the models do and serve as a metaphor for our identities as women being in a constant flux. (You can see the change in color of the garments between the models). Fashion photography is used as a language to unveil how much pleasure and detachment fashion can provide. I photographed these two women in a dreamlike underwater environment to show ideas of free flowing in an inorganic way as our pleasure is almost a synthetic sensation as it becomes what we think it’s supposed to be; but we now take it back. A new world is created through the collaboration of the 6 women creators where females can rewrite their destinies and reclaim their expressions through extensions of their skin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/02c6a0b1-6b41-47b4-9bd8-23d25308de35/pipencolorenafashionshoot3.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3dabe2b9-4fc5-4176-9053-1b0e2aec7459/pipencolorenafashionshoot4.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e5a35ee3-7c8a-4422-a6b0-ea5311af63ff/pipencolorenafashionshoot5.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b6674b62-bec8-4e51-aeaf-10d329f51239/pipencolorenafashionshoot6.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d02bd753-f10f-46bb-80c3-b085711820b1/pipencolorenafashionshoot7.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d66febd-5651-41df-a60c-7eba5fbcaa05/pipencolorenafashionshoot8.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b98477c0-eadf-4a3d-85d3-33aa05a99238/pipencolorenafashionshoot9.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a50f0b21-e284-408f-ab81-69d892cb178a/pipencolorenafashionshoot11.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8646b890-94ef-45fb-bbbe-93c8e4b6ed53/pipencolorenafashionshoot12.jpeg Features - Genesis is the Editorial Exploring Glamour’s Ambivalence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/go-hard-then-go-home monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a06bcd81-b806-4689-aeb5-2f71fd7d1344/polyester-01.png Features - Go Hard, Then Go Home - How Turning 30 Differs for Everyone - Make it stand out It’s the plot of every Reese Witherspoon-starring rom-com: twenty-something woman returns home after failing at life in the big city, whereupon she meets a handsome young farmhand and kickstarts her career by overhauling her small town’s radio station/newspaper/flailing economy, while simultaneously mending her fraught relationship with her family. But what if there is no handsome farmhand? No career to resurrect, and no family to make amends with? What if, in fact, all Reese Witherspoon and I have in common is failing? And above all, what if it’s not funny? I moved to New York two years ago, when I was 27. ‘Why’ is the question I am most often asked (other than whether or not I’m from Australia), and after all this time, I think I finally have the answer: I was bored.

Sexual assault victims finally liberated from years of silence, took to social media to call out their abusers. I watched my Facebook fill with people I knew, incidents I was aware of, and situations I could never imagine. I loved my abuser, which felt like a betrayal of the movement, but this was my truth, an indisputable fact in my head. How bad could it be if we dated for six months? What did it matter if consent wasn’t there? I drafted my own post and hovered over the send button, wondering if I should string him out dry for the world to see. The answer seemed easy. That night haunted me well past my 20’s, so why shouldn’t I publicly out him? I felt stuck between joining the party and quietly heading home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/441b0757-4865-49d7-9222-00990ce08c3a/Nuance%2Bof%2BHealing_1.png Features - Promising Young Woman, Feel Good, I May Destroy You, and the Nuance of Healing Outside From Sexual Assault - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-full-face monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/03ac33dc-2d9e-49f5-869e-e8ab0ae6eedc/lindsay%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Full Face &amp; Wearing Makeup Authentically - Make it stand out “I’m tired of the traditional make up tropes of masking and concealment, instead we are focusing on illumination and highlighting.” The newest entry into the celebrity beauty coliseum is none other than former One Direction boy-next-door turned ambiguously-queer-but-not-queer-maybe-who-knows superstar Harry Styles with his Pleasing ‘life brand’, and baby, I’m not having it. The history of celebrity endorsed beauty products is as old as celebrity itself, from Jean Harlow eye brow stencils to Elizabeth Taylor perfumes to youtuber eye shadow palettes, people have been moved by the faces that speak to them, for better or worse. the celebrity beauty industry goes through trends, just like everything else, like how ten-to-fifteen years ago everyone (and I mean everyone) had a perfume in their name (INCLUDING One Direction). There is something mysterious and enjoyable about a celebrity perfume I think, an ephemeral connection to your teenage idol, going to school smelling like Beyonce (rich and sensual), or Britney (sugary and fruity) , or The Cheeky Girls (vimto and teen discos), feeling like you’ve been anointed in true Diva Worship, truly transcendent over the mere mortals with their Impulse body sprays and floral Nivea roll-ons. But, alas, the world moves on and we are well into the age of celebrities opening their own beauty lines and ‘life brands’, whether we want them or not. Today, everyone and their mother have their own eye shadow palette (500 ways to sell 15 browns and a beige), and they’ve started the march on celebrity skin products, from Harry’s Pleasing Pen to Kylie Skin’s Hydrate and Glow, and it feels like there is everything still to play for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/88a69730-fc7f-406a-9db7-6f0a9af81eb2/kazuo%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Full Face &amp; Wearing Makeup Authentically - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/spin-shop monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8bd2d4b9-d357-4aac-8de3-abef60b421fd/IMG_1690.jpg Features - Spin Shop - The Short Story That is Like a Hardcore Workout - Make it stand out I take a line of cocaine off my spin instructor’s bra strap in Spin Shop’s bathroom, an initiation. The instructor, Nikki, is probably a size 34C or 32D. The line of her cleavage is pale from where fake tanner was either washed or sweated away. Since I’m new, I get the biggest bump. I sniff hard and leave nothing behind. The bathroom is the only room in the studio that isn’t heated to 90 degrees. There’s a poster above the toilet that says, Every brunette needs a blonde best friend. Nikki is blonde. She’s wearing all white, the only one of us in the color. I got an email 48-hours ago that listed Spin Shop’s rules, which included a strict, all-black dress code. The teachers wear white, the front desk staff wear red. There’s another poster over the sink, no mirror, that says, Happiness is a choice! A pile of before and after pictures sits on a small wooden table between the toilet and the sink; it is where magazines would’ve gone in another place, another gym. On top: a picture of a white woman’s toned stomach exposed by pulled-down black leggings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4cfe9197-d6ef-4199-bbcf-150bcc40bd80/IMG_1687.jpg Features - Spin Shop - The Short Story That is Like a Hardcore Workout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5fda4b03-53fa-4e7a-ba04-77446027ec98/IMG_1689.jpg Features - Spin Shop - The Short Story That is Like a Hardcore Workout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af8d8458-0d30-4a7d-99bb-050f9c96adb0/IMG_1688.jpg Features - Spin Shop - The Short Story That is Like a Hardcore Workout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dedicated-to-the-press-nbspextra-extra-have-you-read-about-angela-davis-amp-kate-millett monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0f231afb-c264-4837-bdee-7e2341527adc/image1.jpeg Features - Dedicated to the Press:&nbsp;Extra! Extra! Have You Read About Angela Davis &amp; Kate Millett? - Make it stand out This column offers an original contribution to the existing historiography on social movements and the mass media by investigating radical American feminists who became celebrities in the 1970s. Mainstream celebrity feminism, as demonstrated by Nathalie Weidhase, is characterised by ‘Whiteness.’ Political writer Todd Gitlin argued that the mass media looked for movement leaders who were both ‘flamboyant’ and ‘reformist’ in their politics. Radical feminist Kate Millett and Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Angela Davis disrupted these conventions of celebrity yet still reached celebrity status, becoming the face of their respective movements at this time. This is why they are significant to study. To begin my column this essay investigates how mainstream newspapers and commercial magazines utilised sexist feminist stereotypes to depict Millett and how racist stereotypes were used to describe Davis. In the end, these representations and dilutions defined the WLM, feminism and the BPP, impacting the public debate about feminism and Black liberation at this time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dba3817d-c4c2-4b8e-99af-dfb73283c906/Fig%2B1.jpg Features - Dedicated to the Press:&nbsp;Extra!

I’m talking pure maximalism: big hair, long nails, tight fitting clothes in garish colours, strong accents, loud jewellery, swearing and a lot of animal print. In the context of mob films, these women, who are mostly working class, are considered tacky, and quite often conforming to the over-the-top stereotype of Italian Americans. However, pop these looks onto the fabulously rich and watch the tacky connotations disappear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0b3c85c0-9089-4af6-ad69-1ceac0a3e880/Karen%2BHill.jpg Features - Mob Wife Glamour: Gorgeous or Gaudy? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/film-fatale-hausu-and-experimental-horror monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c2f43b19-c25e-4c42-a642-6fbb4acc7886/unnamed%2B%281%29+%282%29.png Features - Film Fatale: Hausu and Experimental Horror - Make it stand out House or Hausu (1977) dir.

Christala who runs the In Our Hands programme - aka, the nail bars - and Elise, one of the young people who used to access these services, speak to our deputy editor Gina Tonic about the importance of saving spaces like these from being shut down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28af521a-3c00-45f8-974b-9ff4afa58959/IGsaveourspacewithlogo.png Features - How Creativity Fights Knife Crime - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/five-front-people-on-the-importance-of-on-stage-style monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1cd405c5-4271-467c-904f-846484d40554/05_Group_Shot_0717.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out It is not an understatement to say that the view of fashion as frivolous is sexist. The female dominated interest draws mass critique across the board by those who don’t see it as a legitimate art form. For artists, this gets even more complex as an interest in style can be interpreted as a distraction from their own creative outlets. To take a look at the importance of style - specifically for women and non binary people - we interviewed five of our favourite front people on why their stage outfits are integral to their performance as a musician. In collaboration with Dr. Martens, to celebrate the launch of their latest collaboration with Heaven by Marc Jacobs shoe release, this feature and the accompanying editorial highlights the versatility of the new Audrick silhouette boot and shoe alongside our musicians’ favourite looks for performing. This new collection is a “tribute to the intricate web of subculture” and so too does this feature look to celebrate the vastly diverse stage outfits of musicians and why they are all equally as important and a valid form of self expression. Our front people line up consists of Nuha Ruby Ra, Gia Ford, Orchid and Thigh High and below you can find their important takes on stage style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/529b3c2d-0440-4fc0-af02-8a6aba3a8fc7/03_Orchid_0487.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5d296f7a-75a5-4bc7-81da-9c75a388e4b6/04_Thigh-High_0689.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b37ef155-fdf6-4da4-a234-c29277a8fc84/03_Orchid_0527.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c5d409e7-0f0f-4b2c-a92c-8f82f1077697/02_Gia-Ford_0349.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2d4cc44f-835a-4d7f-8aec-f70791e063ed/01_NUHA_0088.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4c3c01ba-22d5-4b08-a696-0d974d0bc293/04_Thigh-High_0659.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60fe9d18-6289-4b5a-bf81-659185101de0/01_NUHA_0092.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27b1a2c9-8687-4a69-826d-7c910f9159f5/02_Gia-Ford_0316.jpg Features - Five Front People on the Importance of On Stage Style - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dani-miller-on-discovering-yourself-fucking-up-amp-celebrating-platonic-romance monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/511578d4-58fc-4939-a668-8c20631e6815/Dani-12+%281%29.jpg Features - Dani Miller on Discovering Yourself, Fucking Up &amp; Celebrating Platonic Romance - Make it stand out For many creatives, lockdown wasn’t too far of a stretch from their usual work routines.

Bare with us on this one. We don’t just mean that infamous CCTV footage we’ve spent months trying to forget. But also his annoucement that came last autumn, after months of it being illegal to touch someone outside of your household, that we no longer needed to socially distance. Well, only if we were in “established relationships”. Did anyone else panic about asking the person they were seeing if you’re “established” or not? Or how to even ask that? When Hancock was pressed to define this, he laughed and avoided the question. We weren’t exactly expecting him to pull up a PowerPoint presentation detailing the ins and outs of being in a situationship, but his laugh confirmed one of the truths of the pandemic: sex didn’t exist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28adfa72-16cf-4fd9-8ce0-925c8b1d59f5/yas.png Features - Anxiety &amp; Vibrators: How the Pandemic Changed Our Sex Lives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/swt-valli-hi-on-self-worth-amp-reaching-a-nirvana-in-recent-releases monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f094d5d-8502-442a-9bbf-147ccce4a3df/Midnightangel.png Features - Swt Valli Hi on Self Worth &amp; Reaching a Nirvana in Recent Releases - Make it stand out Captivating vocals molded by a distinctive bassline, Nirvana is the perfect introspective jam – a sultry beginning to your Autumn.

Most of the time, the specific lesbian history of “femme” is invisible. This lesbian history is a rich and a complex one, going back to the lesbian bars of the 1950s and even further, defined by clothing and makeup but also by actions and sexuality. Femme is a concept that has been repeatedly misused and misunderstood. The misuse of “femme” appears in phrases like “women and femmes”, inherently tying womanhood to femininity, which - as any butch would attest to - is far from the truth. Its misunderstanding appears in lesbian feminist politics of the 1970s and 80s, where the butch/femme dynamic was considered oppressive. For lesbian feminists, butches and femmes were reproducing heterosexual relationship dynamics in their masculinity and femininity, apparently confirming that in all relationships someone did have to wear the trousers. Femmes, in their lipstick and high heels, were thought to be the opposite of radical. If a lesbian wasn’t dressed in the androgynous 70s “dyke uniform” of jeans, t-shirts, or maybe a pair of dungarees, then she might as well have not been a lesbian at all. But what isn’t radical about a femme dressed up for a female lover? A femme who walks through the city without a man? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3f164e21-d845-4bd2-aef1-29db78097490/unnamed+%281%29.png Features - Dressing Dykes: Femme Fashion History - Make it stand out (Brassaï, ‘Le Monocle, the Bar, Paris.’ 1933, Paris.

I’d never really watched anything from the 1940s, never mind going in the deep end with a black and white screwball comedy. But I was instantly obsessed. The dialogue is witty and races along at breakneck speed. On average the normal rate of dialogue in most films is 90 words a minute - His Girl Friday clocks in at around 240 words a minute. Subtitles are essential. The director Howard Hawks was inspired to make the film after hosting a dinner party and starting a discussion about dialogue. He pulled out a copy of the play The Front Page to demonstrate the snappy exchanges between characters. A female guest took the role of a male character and Hawks realised the dialogue sounded much better with a woman reading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec8e4407-6b69-4160-aea9-5d92a6f330ed/IMG_4025.jfif Features - Film Fatale: The Hawksian Woman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/68562c10-68b9-4fd8-9553-b838a5f5a376/IMG_4029.jfif Features - Film Fatale: The Hawksian Woman - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/imanigold-on-liberation-music-angry-women-and-the-healing-power-of-artnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aede6e82-05e5-496c-a14e-d212f93bbc05/Screenshot%2B%28705%29.png Features - Imanigold on Liberation Music, Angry Women and the Healing Power of art&nbsp; - Make it stand out IMANIGOLD are an indie rock band and art collective for marginalised people based in Harlem, New York.

I thought it was never going to happen, but I’ve finally gathered my peanuts in a bowl, mushed them into a thick crunchy paste, and can say that I’m finally ready to spread this peanut butter to the far corners of the slice of toast that is what you’re about to read. I was recently confronted with the harsh, soul-crushing truth that I was an emotionally abusive human being. What people would commonly do when they are hit with such a difficult reality is either lash out or find a million excuses to excuse their behaviour.

She is also known to have otherworldly powers as she came from the mythical land of Annwn. She is always followed by her three song birds who can sing anyone to sleep and wake the dead from their slumber. She got herself out of an arranged marriage twice and ended up bagging the himbo prince of her dreams, Pwyll of Dyfed and later became the Queen of Dyfed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dbaecb7e-02dc-465f-9d5c-1d57c0017648/gwenhidw%2Bpoly.jpg Features - On Greek &amp; Welsh Witches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/825f0bde-7485-4ab7-b986-d451105d6430/beauty%2Bstandards%2Bpoly.jpg Features - On Greek &amp; Welsh Witches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1630b4b1-60ee-4172-b92c-658e09756f9e/madea.jpg Features - On Greek &amp; Welsh Witches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3bba080d-12dd-4058-95c7-371fd51662e0/circe%2Bpoly.jpg Features - On Greek &amp; Welsh Witches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dark-ages-closing-shift monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bc8ee0a-f5ae-46e5-9d63-ba169ce78cc7/Jacob%2Billo%2Bhannah%2Bross.jpeg Features - Dark Ages: Closing Shift - Make it stand out Fatalism is very in. A series of systematic setbacks which, today at least, require that I take a nap after answering two emails. I guess we have become so familiar with victim rhetoric that we’re comfortable repurposing it to suit our whims. It’s tempting to think everything is out of our control. I’m all for easy outs… which is to say, life has gotten much, much better after unfollowing the digital sinkholes which insist I care about dumb shit. No one I’ve met has a healthy relationship with social media, yet we engage as though we have no choice. “I have to stay up-to-date for work,” is the favorite lie. But when you let go of the compulsion to be an authority on culture, you will probably find yourself more informed. Someone will always jump to tell you what’s happening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c43ecebb-2583-4e0a-958b-a7c10d7ab5b2/Jacob%2Billo%2Bhannah%2Bross%2B2.jpeg Features - Dark Ages: Closing Shift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/rebecca-black-is-learning-to-find-joy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6ae7222d-c1fc-438e-9626-57dfe45dd026/Rebecca%2BBlack%2Bcover%2B2.jpg Features - Rebecca Black is Learning to Find Joy - Make it stand out “I’m twenty four now, and people can be so surprised by the kind of music I make now, or the way I dress or the way I look… Like guys, I’m not thirteen anymore. We all evolve.” Singer and Youtuber Rebecca Black passionately confesses this to me while we chat about Solar Power by Lorde and the evolution of a musician’s music as they age. Rebecca, who is never not without a smile on her face, appears warm, confident and content as we chat about what it was like being a former child star (via the internet), kindness and how she’s just having fun with her music. In a 2009 interview, renowned feminist author bell hooks stated that "we don't live in a culture that really loves children." Rebecca knows this first hand after her music video for her monumental 2011 single Friday went viral on Youtube and attracted a significant amount of negative press. In 2017, Rebecca wrote an article for NBC News about being a target of internet hate; she wrote, "The fact that there was a human, a person - a thirteen year-old-girl - on the other side of the screen seemingly escaped so many people's attention." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/46a57170-a68f-4f0d-bb69-94e7c09a913c/Screenshot%2B%28677%29.png Features - Rebecca Black is Learning to Find Joy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c5e51d00-c540-4e41-a0d9-2681c6582d83/Screenshot%2B%28679%29.png Features - Rebecca Black is Learning to Find Joy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5bb858b8-e687-45cd-a806-1b6d9ec1b952/Screenshot%2B%28682%29.png Features - Rebecca Black is Learning to Find Joy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/305bccb2-f8f6-4203-a34a-2f77f7a2f048/Screenshot%2B%28684%29.png Features - Rebecca Black is Learning to Find Joy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f11d95e1-7d1a-4155-9a61-5ddb1dd48275/Screenshot%2B%28681%29.png Features - Rebecca Black is Learning to Find Joy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-how-do-i-keep-dry-flaky-skin-at-baynbsp monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/55b82c33-893e-4830-bdf0-22cbd5a5e2d6/u.png Features - Agony Al: How Do I Keep Dry, Flaky Skin at Bay?&nbsp; - Make it stand out YOU ASKED: How do I keep dry, flaky skin at bay? Autumn is in full swing which means it’s getting colder, pumpkin spice is being forced down our throats, baby faced freshers have me questioning my own mortality and, the spookiest thing of all, my skin gets really, really, REALLY dry. I guess my body is really invested in Halloween, cos when the weather changes I blend right in with the decorations: I’m pale, dry and rotting like a cadaver. The cooler months bring with them a shit load of drying elements: cold air reduces sebum production, harsh wind ravages what little oil remains on your skin, and then to top it off, the steps you take to battle the frost prune you up too; hot baths and dry central heating MASSIVELY dehydrate your skin! Is it any wonder seasonal depression exists? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1275307e-f258-4e23-9b60-b7cd7c559d6b/rainbow-pastel-ombre-wall-mural.png Features - Agony Al: How Do I Keep Dry, Flaky Skin at Bay?&nbsp;

She is a true performer at heart and puts everything into her live performance from outfits to stage setup to lights to writing, recording and producing everything from her bedroom.

To me, being a witch means seeing that our words, our rituals, have an effect. It’s about owning that effect; whittling it and working with it. It’s about how many things we can consider as conscious, and as family. We are not all one, we are a connected multiplicity of gorgeous difference. It’s about where we feel empowered. For me, I have always found power in the oceans of my emotions and in the corners of my queer/trans identity(s). Queer power, queer rituals, queer family… What opportunities for magical thinking come from walking the way of a marginalised creature. For me, my witchcraft and weirdnesses have always been sisters. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dressing-dykes-harlems-power-couple-edna-and-olivia monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/98d9130d-dfdc-4d8f-9bf5-4ab965351fcb/Harlem%27s%2Bpower%2Bcouple%2B-%2BEdna%2Band%2BOlivia%2Bdancing.png Features - Dressing Dykes: Harlem's Power Couple, Edna and Olivia - Make it stand out Have you ever heard of Edna Thomas? The most common answer to that question is probably “no”. I’d never heard her name until I read Saidiya Hartman’s incredible Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, where Edna appears among a cast hand-picked from the ticket stubs of Harlem’s history. Despite Edna’s name slipping to the sidelines, her legacy still takes centre stage; she was an actress, and part of the first generation of Black actresses making their names on the stages of New York City. She started her career with the Lafayette Players in the 1920s and gradually became a leading lady. Her biggest role was as Lady Macbeth 1936, and she appeared on the silver screen once, in 1951, as a supporting role to Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. Photographs of her are housed in galleries and archives from the US to the UK. In almost all, she is in costume. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1ea999c1-3fa6-4dfe-82af-4769a2b9e63e/Macbeth-14-Thomas.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Harlem's Power Couple, Edna and Olivia - Make it stand out Edna Thomas as Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, 1936. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8198fd57-4d97-479f-8bac-da501d8704b1/Harlem%27s%2Bpower%2Bcouple%2B-%2BOlivia%2Bconfessing%2Bher%2Blove%2Bto%2BEdna.png Features - Dressing Dykes: Harlem's Power Couple, Edna and Olivia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c350e6a8-cfcb-48c7-bb06-e452109a2006/gettyimages-639620626-1024x1024+%281%29.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Harlem's Power Couple, Edna and Olivia - Make it stand out Olivia Wyndham, 1925, by Berenice Abbott. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de6c9a01-c602-44f2-a898-3481d7f66bad/unnamed%2B%286%29.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Harlem's Power Couple, Edna and Olivia - Make it stand out A dinner party at the Thomases.

We created an imaginative food brand called Nuage-En-Ciel which sells unrealistic and quirky food products. This series is the advertisement campaign for Nuage-En-Ciel’s food products. The inspiration for this story came from the movie "The Greatest Showman" and specifically from a very short scene where the circus poster gets stuck on a milk bottle to advertise their show; that was when I (Alma Rosaz) knew this would be the idea for our collaboration. The name "Nuage-En-Ciel" came from the main red thread present in my work - the blue sky filled with clouds. We then decided to create very quirky food products - such as the fish lollipop - in order to make the story very kitsch and 'out there', which is what we aim to achieve through our respective works. The food products were designed and illustrated by Chloe Azulay in Bangkok, Thailand, and the shoot and editing was done in London, UK by Alma Rosaz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b3cc19a4-9a0e-48bc-9da1-076f6ff09350/Magda%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Nuage-En-Ciel is the Brainchild of Alma Rosaz and Chloe Azulay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1e530b1-fbbe-4506-a1f5-518ff9c78538/Mia1%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Nuage-En-Ciel is the Brainchild of Alma Rosaz and Chloe Azulay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9bea95c-f73d-434b-b32a-805ac34eb29f/Mia2%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Nuage-En-Ciel is the Brainchild of Alma Rosaz and Chloe Azulay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3738a693-c18c-4a79-8a9b-1aef686f8d9f/Mia3%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Nuage-En-Ciel is the Brainchild of Alma Rosaz and Chloe Azulay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3a7f87d6-0d8f-4b18-b104-b054ff23c3dc/Savannah1%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Nuage-En-Ciel is the Brainchild of Alma Rosaz and Chloe Azulay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b964dd53-e740-4a6e-bfdc-331d9aecbcd4/Savannah2%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Nuage-En-Ciel is the Brainchild of Alma Rosaz and Chloe Azulay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/celestial-body monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d27f697f-0263-4fd5-bb5b-6fd5dec60e3c/ANG_2021_0001.jpg Features - Celestial Body is the Body Twisting Look at Transcencence - Make it stand out This shoot came together in a beautiful combination of luck, circumstance and experimentation. The title, Celestial Body, reflects the model's transcendence into a new realm within these images. The star shaped light flares and Ang’s movements came together to transport me from a loft studio in Toronto to a whole other planet. Working with a great little team of 3 I took a lot of inspiration from their artistry and energy.

The new gender neutral lyrics of ‘It’s Raining Them’, a Deezer Original, not only add inclusivity to the track, but celebration for non binary and trans individuals. To ensure the lyrics of ‘It’s Raining Them’ were fully inclusive, Deezer worked closely with Gendered Intelligence, a charity that raises awareness of gender diversity and aims to improve trans people’s quality of life. Deezer also wanted to ensure it gave back to the community and has committed to donating all of its streaming revenue from It’s Raining Them to Gendered Intelligence for one year. With an internet history in parodying pop songs, this reworking by Mila Jam and Gendered Intelligence is a rewriting of past narratives in a modern context, without removing the fun or joy of the original. Polyester spoke with the video vixen all about her activist work both online and offline, the importance of aesthetics and her history of challenging norms. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/bobbi-summers-and-lily-makowski-on-hating-people-people-hating-them-amp-the-realities-of-the-queer-experience monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1702a7d-b59a-44cb-87b0-24f476bd223f/IHPPHM%2BStill%2B15.jpg Features - Bobbi Summers and Lily Makowski on Hating People, People Hating Them &amp; the Realities of the Queer Experience - Make it stand out I Hate People, People Hate Me is the type of misanthropic lyric your favourite emo band would scream on the Kerrang! music channel at 12pm on a Saturday and you would scream back. It is also the kind of phrase that you would revisit in the same song ten years later during an emo renaissance that all twenty-somethings experience and think to yourself: That has only gotten truer as I have gotten older. Well surprise - I Hate People, People Hate Me is not a lyric at all, but the title to Bobbi Summers’ digital series debut exploring queer identity in a time where queerness has no only been mainstreamed, but commodified. Unfortunately, our stories aren’t as simple or straightforward as the ‘finding yourself’ archetype may make it seem. When not fitting into society’s ideals, this new potential upcoming CBC Gem original series is asking who wants to fit into society anyway and more importantly: Isn’t chucking a middle finger up to said societal expectations a lot more fun that bending to fit within them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/555a38e0-8925-4ac1-8ba3-fed3f75a8fde/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B-%2B2021-09-20T141440.808.png Features - Bobbi Summers and Lily Makowski on Hating People, People Hating Them &amp; the Realities of the Queer Experience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/4walls monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f16151a7-ee54-42da-9836-413988b83f9e/4walls.jpg Features - 4Walls is a Photographic Emotional Rollercoaster - Make it stand out 4Walls presents 4 stages of our life and focuses on showing the different emotions and feelings during the process.

My Merseyside town didn’t hold much mystique to me at the time. The pubs, Betfred’s and gloomy skies never struck me as a place which could hold up a cinematic scene. It was no place for a desertscape road trip or a stylish coming of age drama. Particularly with the representation of Northwest England in the media being so crass, I didn’t want to see a caricature of a working class scouser. Even the attempts in the media with showing a ‘real’ story with ‘real’ people, it almost always still feels like it was made for people on the outside looking in. With these thoughts in mind, I didn’t do too much film watching from my own region. It was only until recently when I began to shift my attention away from places I can only dream of and onto places I’ve lived, that I discovered that I was wrong about a lot of things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e301a654-54d0-4162-89d2-37051dcc7fc2/Screenshot%2B%28575%29.png Features - Film Fatale: Letters to Brezhnev and the Love for Liverpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4a125e74-a96e-4d2f-81b3-349f2339f893/Screenshot%2B%28573%29.png Features - Film Fatale: Letters to Brezhnev and the Love for Liverpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-most-used-kit-products monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e72a2156-3624-419b-b97d-865e2b761f9c/tumblr_nuswtviIZj1tf8vylo1_1280.png Features - Agony Al: Most Used Kit Products - Make it stand out You asked: What products are professional makeup artists actually using in their kit? Though we try and pretend we aren’t, humans are hardwired to be nosy. That’s why MTV’s Room Raiders was allowed to air, What’s In My Bag videos rack up millions of views and close friend stories exist, duh. When I tell people I’m a makeup artist, I’m almost always met with a barrage of questions: “what foundation do you use?”, “does primer really work?”, “my cousin is a makeup artist, why don’t you use the same eyeshadows as her?” etc. etc. and honestly, I completely get it.

Every day, on arriving home from school, her dad’s worn-out, wobbly Blond Ambition VHS would be inserted into the video player, and Leung would sit down in front of the TV to watch the singer’s raunchy, transgressive performance from start to finish. “She was head-to-toe in all those incredible Jean Paul Gaultier outfits, and it was the first time I’d ever seen fashion like that,” she recalls as we talk over the phone. “It was so sexy and risqué, and even though I was only five or six, I remember just being immediately intrigued.” What came next were a series of childlike attempts to emulate Madonna’s looks that involved Leung diving into her mum’s wardrobe. Dragging old bras out of her drawers, the burgeoning designer would take scissors to their cups and add additional padding in a bid to recreate Gaultier’s iconic cones in her living room before parading around the house in her botched-together pieces. “I was always very creative, I loved to draw, and paint, and make things with my hands,” she explains. “My family didn’t have a lot of money back then, though, so unsurprisingly my mom was not happy to find me chopping up her underwear to copy Madonna. They won’t let me forget it, they still bring it up all the time,” she adds with a laugh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83f755fe-19e6-4f34-b199-8bc5b045d686/IMG_4828.jpg Features - Yeha Leung on Keeping It Creepy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ee0b559-4adc-45a9-b53f-a66f77ab5b5f/IMG_4889.jpg Features - Yeha Leung on Keeping It Creepy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3abbb6ff-76bf-4828-8ae7-ddf570db8641/IMG_4958%2Btight%2Bteaser.jpg Features - Yeha Leung on Keeping It Creepy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c371e13-15df-43c2-b08d-6c7c57ef281e/IMG_5013.jpg Features - Yeha Leung on Keeping It Creepy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3e137079-bc5d-4138-865a-335be413b297/IMG_5167.jpg Features - Yeha Leung on Keeping It Creepy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ccf0ce1-651e-4450-86a2-13a650d0ffa4/IMG_5123%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Yeha Leung on Keeping It Creepy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/skin-dream monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b903537-9f1d-4a27-8331-8e547f36e4c0/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B-%2B2021-09-13T110220.541.png Features - Skin Dream is the Illustration Series Embodying the Fantasy of the Female Form - Make it stand out My work deals with the ideas of fantasy and illusion in the sexualized feminine form as frequently depicted in porn.

This is no different when it comes to lesbian style, especially at times when lesbians faced social and possibly legal consequences if their lifestyles were public knowledge. In these cases, the little things are sometimes the most important part of an outfit. This still rings true today - sometimes, a person might not be out, or might not feel safe to be so in a certain place or situation, and need to use their accessories to subtly represent their true self. Fashion signals are how we reach out to each other in more minute ways. We’ve all heard of the phrase “actions speak louder than words”, but perhaps we should change “actions” to “clothes”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f67a94bb-731c-4095-b38f-d20acb8d017e/unnamed%2B%281%29.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: A Brief History of Lesbian Fashion Signals - Make it stand out Fig. 1: Brassaï.

It’s easy to see metaphors in this desert, the big skies and vast quiet presumably ripe with inspiration for artist types. It’s also a gentrification that the Santa Fe government has come to rely on, peddling a tourist narrative that this city, just shy of 100,000, is a global arts center. Georgia O’Keeffe pioneered this idea; trading New York for New Mexico for health and revelation. Over the next half century, lesser artists would follow suit—though every bar in the town closes at 11pm, so how thriving can the arts community really be? “There’s not much to do here besides drink and couple up,” a sexy local with bad teeth admits, “maybe that’s why we have some of the highest teen pregnancy and DWI rates in the country.” She then convinces me to buy a pasta called the ‘Sophia Loren’ and suggests I visit a downtown motel at 3AM to spot a ghost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0d87434-1e47-4ef8-8ed2-0c09b71f081e/jacob3.jpeg Features - Dark Ages: Land of Enchantment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-did-nobody-give-a-f-about-disability-pride-month monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8368ad48-0c8c-4023-9d27-340bdefccedf/illo1.jpg Features - Why Did Nobody Give a Fuck About Disability Pride Month? - Make it stand out June is LGBTQIA+ Pride month - but you probably know that already, unless you have been living under a rock . It is everywhere. Some claim that the month, which began to commemorate the month of June - the month when the Stonewall riots took place - has lost some of its impact nowadays. What started as a celebration of queer culture has become too corporate. Brands are quick to add a rainbow to their logo and are equally as quick to take it down again when the 1st July rolls around. Whatever your view on Pride is, you have undoubtedly heard of it. But what do you know about Disability Pride Month? Disability Pride started out as one day and is now a month long celebration commemorating the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act in July 1990 – a groundbreaking civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against disabled people. Now, in the UK and worldwide, disabled people take the month of July to share the pride we feel and work towards ending any stigma.

Like a comet crossing the sky, our friendship felt too good to be true, a storybook that continued to unravel from the beginning. Growing up down the street, we cemented ourselves as sisters more than friends, weaving through the trials and tribulations time had to offer. Now, post college, that time serves more an enemy than a friend, ripping us apart as we grew miles away from each other. Bickering is never solved, differences less lovable than they were before. We fight often and now, the silence is deafening, one that spans seas instead of states. Last I checked, she had me blocked on Instagram. Friendship breakups, though less sensationalized than romantic ones, hold a different, more desperate, heartbreak than goodbyes we were conditioned to expect. As Scaachi Koul wrote in her book One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter, “Your life's greatest heartbreaks are so often your friends. Dating isn't always built for permanence, but friendship often is.” The sentiment is something easily relatable, one that cuts to the core. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa19bbcf-7334-4202-aa4b-fc986bbf5d39/AL_PZ_Final2.png Features - Never Have I Ever, SOUR, and the Exploration of Friendship Breakups in Art - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/phenix-on-life-activism-and-the-importance-of-fashion-on-her-identity monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79e8b2b8-bf53-4205-8c8b-158b00dd8a89/raetillyphotography-phenixstudioshoot-polyesterzinesubmission-2.jpg Features - Phenix on Life, Activism and the Importance of Fashion on her Identity - Make it stand out The best part about being in such creative and politically conscious spaces are without a doubt the people you meet along the way. If you are lucky, some of these relationships progress past coming together for professional or political actions and grow into honest friendships. This kind of intimacy often creates unique environments for creativity to thrive. My friend Phenix (@thisisphenix) and I love combining our personal hang outs with creative projects. We recently shot a series of portraits in my studio whilst chatting about Phenix’s life, activist work, and how fashion has held a special meaning to her as a trans woman: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/16d2a3b6-536a-4961-b739-ecaa84aa9d65/raetillyphotography-phenixstudioshoot-polyesterzinesubmission-1.jpg Features - Phenix on Life, Activism and the Importance of Fashion on her Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a877f0cc-614d-425a-a994-60da1669f908/raetillyphotography-phenixstudioshoot-polyesterzinesubmission-6.jpg Features - Phenix on Life, Activism and the Importance of Fashion on her Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a4bed3e4-222f-4a56-bd33-31a95d15b741/raetillyphotography-phenixstudioshoot-polyesterzinesubmission-10.jpg Features - Phenix on Life, Activism and the Importance of Fashion on her Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac4196f6-524f-420d-8e10-47da262da587/raetillyphotography-phenixstudioshoot-polyesterzinesubmission-7.jpg Features - Phenix on Life, Activism and the Importance of Fashion on her Identity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-aces-on-the-pandemic-social-media-amp-new-music monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3530224d-5c8f-4e12-8006-bde371a74dc2/000004150006.png Features - The Aces on the Pandemic, Social Media &amp; New Music - Make it stand out Opening back up Zoom after over three months of being Zoom/Google Meet/ Microsoft Teams free, wasn’t the most comforting feeling. But this time, instead of makeshift pub quizzes with friends or glitchy film nights, I was logging into Zoom to catch up with The Aces - a band who always see the glass half full and whose discography will provide the soundtrack to your summer. With an endearing relatability, sparkling guitars and anthemic choruses, The Aces’ have known each other since elementary school and explore growing up, falling in love and mental health in the 21st century with exceptional honesty. When Cristal (vocals, guitar), Alisa (drums), McKenna (bass) and Katie (guitar) called us up, (and after a few unsurprising technical difficulties), we chatted about making music in quarantine, their upcoming tour and even the promise of new music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7223eade-bc50-42f7-a67b-426b568f79d7/6.png Features - The Aces on the Pandemic, Social Media &amp; New Music - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/aphrodite monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2237373e-981d-4961-a9d1-c1fac6063363/APHRODITE-1.jpg Features - Aphrodite is Savana Ogburn’s Ode to Camp Aquatics - Make it stand out Kristen and I are good friends and collaborators but we live in different states, so we frequently find ourselves planning weekend shoots when we visit each other. We think of these shoots as the Project Runway of photography- we have 72 hours and limited resources to make something magical! This particular shoot was born from Kristen and I’s mutual love for all things campy and aquatic. Think: the mermaids from the original animated Peter Pan, Lady Gaga’s Venus and You and I looks, Tim Walker and Kristen Mcmenamy’s iconic mermaid images, among others. We crafted the headpiece from an old plastic hat, silk flowers, and hot glue, and sourced starfish and seashells for the rest of the costume. We shot stills and video on a green screen so that Kristen, who is an amazing animator, could stitch together surreal beach scenes for Aphrodite to live in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb2c5fe9-cd64-43c0-9fc2-50211751715e/APHRODITE-2.jpg Features - Aphrodite is Savana Ogburn’s Ode to Camp Aquatics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bc6d719-491f-4bdf-a8ed-d50aee49a933/APHRODITE-3.jpg Features - Aphrodite is Savana Ogburn’s Ode to Camp Aquatics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd1870f3-620f-4302-a46d-ded7655d0e8c/APHRODITE-5.jpg Features - Aphrodite is Savana Ogburn’s Ode to Camp Aquatics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/99f7f5a9-d026-4b97-b7a9-6173e16ae796/APHRODITE-6.jpg Features - Aphrodite is Savana Ogburn’s Ode to Camp Aquatics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2fb0e128-4680-4287-bab3-47ee84d387b2/APHRODITE-8.jpg Features - Aphrodite is Savana Ogburn’s Ode to Camp Aquatics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-lip-liner-101 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7047e944-9a14-455a-86c1-a52272e26d82/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%2893%29.png Features - Agony Al: Lip Liner 101 - Make it stand out YOU ASKED: just *how* do you use lip liner?

However, the most difficult part for me personally was the limbo of lockdown; feeling a sense of hopelessness and the consistent boredom of pure nothingness. It was at that moment I knew I needed change, something to look forward to and to channel all this built up energy into. I live by the seaside, so I found myself going to the beach a lot, reflecting and trying to find a way I could get back into photography, once the restrictions allowed it. I wanted to create a character inspired by the seaside, whilst still representing my own experiences through lockdown. The beach and cliffs seemed like the ideal place to embody the notion of solitude, especially during the pandemic with its more muted, subtle tones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6779ab3d-586f-4d4a-8ae2-73d95f55afc0/Piece-1.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f9884e2f-b6e7-4d48-a723-e231ee696998/Piece-4.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/930592cb-b0c4-477c-bcff-2154bac49452/Piece-3.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f1e9ff6-31fb-4113-ad31-d044e4b64dc6/Piece-6.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b78e92b4-04aa-40cc-902e-f68df4494c80/Piece-7.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79f491e1-d5d2-452e-ae14-642a3e8fd267/Piece-8.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d4c5071-178f-4c95-ba16-4f20ace31bb4/Piece-12.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c4be113-91fd-4148-9243-18aa190272cb/Piece-13.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/05f4b8fc-39d9-45db-bd6f-3468aa6c3112/Piece-22.jpg Features - Flourish is Characterising the Seaside - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/frasier-truth-now monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/13bb3ed8-9a8e-4256-8e1e-02d452bbbc88/august%2Bcover.jpg Features - Frasier Truth Now - An Exclusive Short Story from Eliza Clark - Make it stand out To the Keeper of Evil Knowledge – you know who you are, In 2004, I saw a very strange episode of the sitcom Frasier. I was home sick from school, watching Channel 4. Friends was on at 7:30, and Everybody Loves Raymond at 8, and Cheers at 8:30 then Frasier at 9. I would usually be on my way to the bus stop just after Raymond ended. And I would lament that Channel 4 forced me to sit through endless episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond – when a tiny adjustment to their schedule would put a far superior sitcom (Frasier) on at much more accessible time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48dbbf29-6fd3-47bf-bbfd-5f84c8e6b86e/Neil%2Bfalling%2Binto%2Bcheers.jpg Features - Frasier Truth Now - An Exclusive Short Story from Eliza Clark - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dream-body monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/57082c8c-15f3-45ac-9750-0fb001a13723/Dream%2BBody-3.jpg Features - Dream Body is Using the Grotesque to Celebrate Ourselves - Make it stand out It’s never fails to blow my mind how weird it is that we have learnt to be disgusted, freaked out and disturbed by bodies and body parts.

Their body of work allows for those informal, often authentic moments to play out before the lens in a way mainstream photographers could never mimic. These spaces that provide a setting for Emily’s work are under constant threat by far-right groups, acting as an unfortunate catalyst. One that reminds them of the significance of their practice, photographic proof that these communities exist beyond pride month. Alongside their ongoing archive, Emily also captures members of their community through beautiful editorials that reflect their subject’s own style, always considering how they would want to be photographed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cc9ec8f3-ad30-481e-adec-2db7d96bf046/img20210616_17345122edit4web1.jpg Features - Emily Rose England on Subverting the Male Gaze and the Aesthetics of Queerness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9a13207-2f0c-4501-8294-de116219eaaa/img20210616_19520345editweb1.jpg Features - Emily Rose England on Subverting the Male Gaze and the Aesthetics of Queerness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/behind-the-curtain monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9dc5bbea-2732-4d7d-af17-4e2fed44853e/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-1-2.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out A voyeuristic view on female sexuality and sensuality leads the way for this Behind the Curtain editorial by Lissyelle Laricchia, for when Hot Vamp Summer drips its way into those long summer nights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eeb4a73d-ac01-443e-99f6-1523df82d13c/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-12.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cab5a47f-7ea3-4a27-bcc9-ad78ef1baab1/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-13.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1b86d274-0535-480b-b527-845781703d87/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-1.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/38b5cf8a-3a68-4a01-b58e-e6eed19cb674/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-2.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/190ae4bd-b090-42df-81fa-05488a80fa82/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-3.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1763364b-3a6e-465f-9a49-90cf915dba4c/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-8.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7081ff55-6090-4f47-b824-acb464a7daf4/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-9.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/71a8921b-3a31-4616-906e-31d17760321a/Polyester%2Bx%2BLissyelle-10.jpg Features - Behind The Curtain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/techno-in-interstellar-district monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d73c91cf-bb11-4105-9e76-3a2c2b5e47e9/IMAGEN10.jpg Features - Techno in Interstellar District - A Futuristic Editorial - Make it stand out From the outside, when the door of the club is opened, you can hear techno clearly, but when the door closes. only the deepest and darkest beats, like the district of a city overrun by chaos, the sound of sirens and smoke from the sewers.

While the struggles of womanhood are axiomatic, Jeanetta in turn asks her audience to acknowledge the unique plight and positioning of Black women that renders their mistreatment invisible, creating a pretext for hushed isolation. Below is a preview of poetry from the collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60ccd3f7-7450-457f-9dc7-d4ff8aa159a1/Jeanetta%2Bedited%2B2.jpg Features - Black Venus Fly Trap: Poetry from Jeanetta Rich - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2bd235bb-d6c6-42a8-9464-e46826a0be66/Jeanetta%2Bedited%2B1.jpg Features - Black Venus Fly Trap: Poetry from Jeanetta Rich - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-to-have-a-hot-vamp-summer monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e86fafce-8d7a-4853-a394-706615dccd0f/BAG.jpg Features - How to Have a Hot Vamp Summer - Make it stand out Samirah Raheem is a legend, and not just in the internet sense of the word. You may recognise Samirah from her viral Slut Walk interview from 2017, in which a younger Samirah calmly tore down one right winger’s attempted attack on the protest. Since then, she has continued to challenge patriarchal ideas about sexuality, power and women’s bodies. Everyone and their nan has seen the video between Samirah and conservative pundit Jesse Peterson. Still, the declarations made by Samirah then still ring true and should be reiterated by everyone, everywhere forever: “I own my body. My body is not a political playground. It’s not a place for legislation. It’s mine, and it’s my future.” Men have feared the sentiments raised by Samirah for centuries. This fear of female agency can be seen as far back as Bram Stoker’s Gothic horror novel Dracula. The 1897 vampire tale directly reflected male anxiety about the emerging figure of the New Woman in 1890s London: By 1870, Parliament passed the Forster’s Education Act which ensured that Great Britain provided education to all children age five to twelve. This led to the rapid development of more public schools and mass education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdf55fd2-6207-4faf-ae06-85cd581ef4ca/CHERRY.jpg Features - How to Have a Hot Vamp Summer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8da862a1-9d44-4c08-9536-a5bb1d343995/HEEL.jpg Features - How to Have a Hot Vamp Summer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/be-more-theda monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b2fc50a-822a-4c73-9f2e-ce5810be0a6a/valentino%2Bvamp.png Features - Be More Theda - Make it stand out The original vamp, this beauty editorial is an ode to silent cinema’s Theda Bara.

She seduces us, like she does with the feeble male protagonist, with her silent stares and tilted sunglasses. We wonder what her intentions are, we wonder if she’s really human. Even with her lack of words, she steals every scene with ease. This type of woman in horror explores the boundaries between power, sex and gender - a lady that gets what she wants by making use of the to-be-looked-at-ness she never asked for. There’s an overwhelming amount of horror films that feature a woman who’s end goal is consumption. It’s usually blood that they’re after, especially with the sexy vampire craze of Jean Rollin. There’s a clear contrast between a woman who seconds ago was composed to now being animalistic and overwhelmed with the desire to feed off of the life sources she’s manipulated and drawn in. It’s gratifying to watch the on-screen woman get what she wants, especially in a horror setting, where she typically almost always has been a cowering victim. They satisfy their hunger and there’s no holding back, only some simple strategy to lure in her next meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79380405-f1d1-40e5-9e84-df2fb0904f3d/daughters9soft99.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c8ca01eb-b9be-48f2-b7fd-94626b70c9d6/lips777.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9e9443d1-3b30-42a5-8b7b-d243c37df870/lips10soft100.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7e990e6-f3f1-4998-ae02-002336c72ba2/lips3soft1.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7128dd5b-5719-4d40-99c6-acae458f6785/worm8soft88.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6a8fbadb-c77a-4f37-a1f5-b6c7748f6dcd/daughters3soft33.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/62d0969e-418b-4b30-ad14-70d6e7ba24da/daughters4soft44%2Bcopy.png Features - Film Fatales: Celebrating Cinema’s Vamps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-glowy-base-routine-for-textured-skin monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bea36601-3847-412c-9ed3-63839fe3dec2/GS13.png Features - Agony Al: Glowy Base Routine for Textured Skin - Make it stand out YOU ASKED: how can I get glowy, summer skin when I have spots and texture? Maybe it’s how gross makeup can feel under a mask (but not with these tips hehe), maybe it’s because heavy makeup feels oppressive after a year inside and barefaced, or maybe a more minimal routine feels more financially viable in the current economic client: I wish I could time travel to boot the more-than-hourly-minimum-wage powder 2019 me baked my face with out of my wasteful hands! But in a post lockdown world, everything is getting lighter: our wallets, our tolerance for government nonsense and, most interesting to me, our base makeup. I’m a recovering full coverage foundation addict, but even I have found myself reaching for skin tints or forgoing foundation altogether. I have always struggled with acne and even though my skin is the best it’s ever been, it’s FAR from perfect. I’m currently going through a purging phase with my prescription retinol so I have the holy trinity of skin issues: redness, peeling AND spots. Despite this, my inbox has been blowing up with questions about my current foundation! HUH?

Natalie was many things - an heiress, salonist and writer, an American in Paris and a socialite, a proud lesbian and a non-monogamist. She was rich, rich, rich, and her social and financial position offered her freedoms that most women couldn’t even imagine. She could declare, in the early 20th century, that “I am a lesbian. One need not hide it nor boast of it, though being other than normal is a perilous advantage.” She lived until the age of 95, dying in 1972. She lived her life sensationally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a17851c9-8a34-4c74-95bc-e1d21a4bb535/polyester_3.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Natalie Barney, a Lesbian Style Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c3ab0072-a7f4-41b4-ae9a-9240084560e0/polyester_2.jpg Features - Dressing Dykes: Natalie Barney, a Lesbian Style Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-duality-of-gemma monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/def6d691-a50d-41b5-a013-ba25a7746d80/gemma%2Bcollins%2Bhot%2Bvamp%2Bsummer%2Bcoverjpg.jpeg Features - The Duality of Gemma Collins - Make it stand out Every morning Gemma Collins wakes up and has two cups of tea because “one is not enough” — already, the perfect analogy is provided to me within minutes of our phone conversation. One brew is not enough for The GC, and neither should it be.

From the murder of Ahmad Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Dominique Rem’mie Fells, and countless others, it felt like death was hovering around every corner. Around this time, I was physically and mentally exhausted. I did not know how to deal with all the death, pain and sadness. However, Ziwe Fumudoh’s comedy show Baited, which she moved to Instagram live from Youtube, brought levity during a time when it felt difficult to laugh. Ziwe explained in a Vanity Fair article that her ultimate goal with her Instagram live show is to have “a good discussion about race and entertain people.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fbfdf1c0-b322-4ef7-9b6d-08db3546cc7f/ZIWE_04.jpg Features - How Ziwe Revolutionised The Interview Format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/49359e69-acaa-4945-ab18-0515f1757d61/ZIWE_09.jpg Features - How Ziwe Revolutionised The Interview Format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7f711995-0ca9-47d4-8283-136c1cc63f33/ZIWE_06.jpg Features - How Ziwe Revolutionised The Interview Format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/348f6e28-7095-4c8e-a4ce-490343b2dd7b/ZIWE_08.jpg Features - How Ziwe Revolutionised The Interview Format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/be84cda0-edd2-4ac1-856c-1e2913c4cce9/ZIWE_14.jpg Features - How Ziwe Revolutionised The Interview Format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/where-autism-and-feminism-intersect monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/27543a7e-c16c-49bf-b862-8755afe7549e/polyeter-%2Bautism%2Bmette%2Billustration%2Bcopy.png Features - Where Autism and Feminism Intersect - Make it stand out Autism has a gendered bias: Support and diagnosis is angled towards cisgendered boys and men who present traditional behaviours and traits typically associated with cognitive difference. There’s a historic understanding of autism as overt and explicit, with a narrow range of attributes and actions that imitate stereotypes. Assumptions all too often rest on the expectation of a special interest in trains, ear defenders, and no eye contact, all contributing to a profile of autism that doesn’t always apply. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d2ccf500-4356-4e54-8c64-8de9826a574e/polyester-%2Bautism%2Bmette%2Billustration%2B2%2Bcopy.png Features - Where Autism and Feminism Intersect - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/allie-rowbottom-on-social-media-plastic-surgery-and-being-objectified monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c38e7fe0-8f8f-48f2-9054-d90dd5a352b3/02+%281%29.jpg Features - Allie Rowbottom on Social Media, Plastic Surgery and Being Objectified - Make it stand out It’s difficult to write about social media, to write about the ways it shapes and will continue to shape the way we think and act. It is most often documented as purely superficial, a necessary evil. But how do you write about a platform that is experienced differently by each of its users? Editorial teams and writers rooms are all trying to capture this reckoning, a moment in time that at the very least feels transformative. Very few writers do it well, even less bring nuance to the subject the way Allie Rowbottom does in her sophomore novel- AESTHETICA. As a writer she is acutely aware of the worlds she writes about, striking a difficult balance between aspirational and bleak. Her debut novel, a memoir, follows the lives of three generations of women in her family-who are incidentally the heirs of the Jell-O fortune, and explores repressed trauma and mental illness using the cultural upheaval of America in the mid to late 20th century as a backdrop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b8913d63-51ad-4c4f-9a6e-236f363788bf/01+%281%29.jpg Features - Allie Rowbottom on Social Media, Plastic Surgery and Being Objectified - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ecb59d57-af89-419d-899a-44a930090bc6/threeeeeee.jpg Features - Allie Rowbottom on Social Media, Plastic Surgery and Being Objectified - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cca10792-c34f-4a3c-bbe1-1da28f240e32/07.jpg Features - Allie Rowbottom on Social Media, Plastic Surgery and Being Objectified - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/dark-ages-girlboss-let-me-go monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/de87944e-a24f-4d5c-a800-46c94206332d/unnamed%2B%281%29.png Features - Dark Ages: Girlboss, Let Me Go - Make it stand out “I can’t wait to work, to have a job, to have responsibility,” a ten year-old in adult-face tells the audience. “I’m most fulfilled when I’m contributing.” She blinks her fake lashes. Her father, who created the super conference she’s speaking at, is watching offstage. She beckons the arena to repeat after her: “I am going to work more! I am going to do more!” The crowd cheers. In a different video, the minor’s parents, motivational speakers and marketing consultants, say they consider success to be their third child. Over dinner with the intent to impress, friends tell me about brands they’re working with, though I cannot fault their timing since, on some level, I exude an energy which makes people want to flex on me. At 5AM a tourist asks how I managed to work several jobs while I was in college—I’m confused by the question, as if performing tasks for money is ever coupled with genuine inspiration. Capitalism continues to harsh my buzz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7ad91bbb-77f6-4fe8-98f8-9568f98eebbf/unnamed%2B%282%29+%281%29.png Features - Dark Ages: Girlboss, Let Me Go - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7809eafb-586e-41ba-909a-713ca5118752/unnamed.png Features - Dark Ages: Girlboss, Let Me Go - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/all-the-things-daisy-said monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8d1532f1-12c3-4b57-bd00-a103d569b88f/all-the-things-she-said.jpg Features - All The Things Daisy Said - Make it stand out Sapphics, WLWs, gal pals, the list goes on of internet slang - derived from everything from memes to Greek poets - for referring to lesbian and bi people. It is undoubtable that the internet has revolutionised the ways in which we speak about our sexualities, but is it also responsible for changing queer culture itself? In her book All The Things She Said: Everything I Know About Modern Lesbian and Bi Culture, journalist and editor Daisy Jones interrogates current lesbian and bisexual culture in its many forms. Both anecdotal and analytical, the book is a celebration of her identity as well as how young British people interact with queerness in the past decade. Our deputy editor Gina Tonic spoke with Daisy over email to deep dive into how a person puts together a book as exceptional as this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28c68643-06b2-427b-949c-1dd8b247685e/jo%2Bkiely.jpeg Features - All The Things Daisy Said - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-thirty-flirty-and-dying monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/57612e31-e0b7-4435-aa4f-fc20a35868b0/thirty%2Band%2Bflirty%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Thirty, Flirty and Dying - Make it stand out Gals, this is it: I’m turning thirty and I have no idea how to feel. The world is still so changed from Covid that it doesn’t look like how I pictured making this next step in my life, but then again, I don’t look anything like how I imagined thirty would. Live fast, die young, leave a beautiful corpse. Too late for that. When we are young, we have ideas about what we will be like when we get older, how we will live, what we will wear, who we will have in our lives, but it rarely rings true when the time comes. At 20 I had taken what Hollywood gave me and felt confident that my 30s would be a comfortable existence in penthouse apartments (or at least a two bed flat in Dalston with a balcony and a communal garden) with a high paying fashion magazine job (ha!), gorgeous clothes, a wide circle of glamorous and well connected friends, a handsome and loving fiancée, and, in my softer moments, maybe even a little fluffy cat. I would have brunch with the girls and go to sample sales. I would go on dates to art galleries and talk knowledgeable about the latest Gursky exhibition at the Hayward. I would be inundated with invitations to parties and private views and VIP night club experiences. I would know someone who knew someone who knew Anna Wintour and would privately think about leaving London behind for making a go of it in New York. I would go to concept restaurants and eat Heston Blumenthal style de-constructed steak and frites, garnished with gold leaf and an as yet undiscovered South American herb. I would have birthday cakes made by artisan bakers with candles but no mention of an actual age on it. I would have a skin care routine and sleep in silk sheets in a vast white bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b9724c8b-d7c6-442e-9312-deca30d14065/thirty%2Bflirty%2Band%2Bthriving%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Thirty, Flirty and Dying - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/megane-mercury-amp-queer-community-in-madrid monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/17eb8ade-6783-4da7-93e3-5777a508cf72/Megane-cover.gif Features - Megane Mercury &amp; Queer Community in Madrid - Make it stand out Megane Mercury is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Spain: They’re a model, photographer, videographer and musician. Honestly, you name it, Megane does it. They are also the winner of our Queer Creative Fund in collaboration with Monki and this month’s Dollhouse cover star. Though Megane works within several different artistic disciplines, a common thread runs through all of their work: the exploration of race and gender through different perspectives. There’s always this fear as a person of colour that If you are not highlighting your community or the struggles they’ve gone through in your work, you are somehow misusing your voice. Megane rejects this notion. “It’s true that race, gender and sexuality are very present in my work - from representation to deeper and more intricate stuff - but it really depends on the project.” Megane explains, “For instance, my last EP was about my experiences and traumas related to a past relationship. I want to explore anything that moves me, that I find interesting or that is funny to me.” Megane refuses to be boxed in, and rightly so. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2375acc9-567e-47a9-a6ad-df474256e7ef/_MG_3713_instagram.jpg Features - Megane Mercury &amp; Queer Community in Madrid - Make it stand out In order: navxja: Multidisciplinary artist, Oumou: model and event organizer, sketchylis: Digital artist and illustrator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5d36fd80-b322-438e-959e-6f11cce3f9ca/_MG_3681_instagram.jpg Features - Megane Mercury &amp; Queer Community in Madrid - Make it stand out In order: Riri Ratata: Voguer, performer and DJ, Nayare Soledad Otorongx: Travesti, trans-disciplinary artist and poet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c644ccff-4ed4-4baf-a28e-5f8333342af4/_MG_3040%2B1_instagram.jpg Features - Megane Mercury &amp; Queer Community in Madrid - Make it stand out Baddie: Dancer, performer and model https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/286c4cfa-8586-4170-8560-1d525c26137d/_MG_3625_instagram.jpg Features - Megane Mercury &amp; Queer Community in Madrid - Make it stand out In order: Nayare Soledad Otorongx: Travesti, trans-disciplinary artist and poet, Ezekiel Monjes: Visual artist, Anna Fux: Visual artist and writer, Oumou: model and event organiser, sketchylis: Digital artist and illustrator, navxja: Multidisciplinary artist, Gad Yola: Drag artist, Galaxia: Artist, performer, event organizer and makeup artist, Riri Ratata: Voguer, performer and DJ https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shoving-from-all-sides-putting-dykes-front-and-centre monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/552d75f6-c512-4a20-9ed5-6fa792fb2834/Roxana%2BHalls%2B-%2BPortrait%2Bof%2Bthe%2BArtist%2Band%2BHer%2BWife.jpg Features - Shoving From All Sides: Putting Dykes Front and Centre - Make it stand out I first saw Jessica Tanzer’s photography when I walked into Gay’s The Word, years ago, embarking on a voyage of self discovery, and asked Jim if he knew where I could find any lesbian magazines. I had been working at a popular gay scene magazine that year; designing the page layouts and editing the photos; mostly neutralising the skin-tone of red-faced bears seen partying at XXL. There were two free weekly magazines primarily run by and for gay men in London at the time, both of which were widely available in queer venues throughout the city, but nothing of the kind for lesbian culture. Friends and I had started talking about setting up a magazine of our own and had heard that there used to be more lesbian magazines available, many years ago. I was intrigued, hence the trip to see Jim. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a9a20e08-8aaa-4298-abd4-f93d22dad1b9/IMG_3321.jpg Features - Shoving From All Sides: Putting Dykes Front and Centre - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/78d098be-3c56-408d-b166-c2d328bb790e/Bella%2BPodpadec%2B-%2BBig%2BJoanie%2B.jpg Features - Shoving From All Sides: Putting Dykes Front and Centre - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/452bf7fe-9799-445e-811c-e0589cfebfed/Chain%2BReaction%2Bevent%2Bposter%2B1%2B-%2Bfrom%2Bthe%2Bpersonal%2Barchive%2Bof%2BKaren%2BFisch%2Baka%2BKing%2BFrankie%2BSinatra.jpeg Features - Shoving From All Sides: Putting Dykes Front and Centre - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5701c4e6-5b22-4af2-8bbf-86b387af6b26/Sadie%2BLee%2B-%2BVenus%2BEnvy.jpg Features - Shoving From All Sides: Putting Dykes Front and Centre - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/agony-al-masc-makeup-amp-beginners-glam monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e9260e56-ef80-4e0e-8389-5fc2ff17401f/BF11.png Features - Agony Al: Masc Makeup &amp; Beginners Glam - Make it stand out YOU ASKED: I’m a cis man and want to start wearing makeup. How? Firstly, sincere congratulations on taking steps to be the version of yourself you want to be. We live in a world where femininity is frowned upon, and your average cishet man’s beauty routine is supermarket moisturiser, Lynx Africa and a crusty bar of soap that’s tasked with cleaning everything from anus to forehead, so to buck against that is brave. Makeup is such a tool of self-actualisation and expression, a way to make your identity visible in a way that transcends language. The best bit? It can easily be wiped off if you’re in a situation where looking anything but cishet can be dangerous. I’m excited for you to start ya makeup journey! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8ee3330f-d267-4c6d-a3c8-616df37f4535/BF11.png Features - Agony Al: Masc Makeup &amp;

The lineage of lesbians stretches back hundreds of years, and the clothing that they wore was often representative of that, if not the language that they had to describe themselves. When we talk about “fashion history” there’s probably a few things that come to your mind - perhaps designers like Dior or Chanel, models like Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell, or maybe Bridgerton-esque period costumes, with heaving bosoms and full skirts. Lesbians seem invisible in this landscape of lace and corsets, runways and magazines. The truth is, though, like with most things - we are everywhere. Not invisible, but under-researched and under-represented. I spend my days researching lesbian fashion histories for my blog, Dressing Dykes, so I have examples piled up, ready to share. The following overview is just the start of a monthly column doing a deep dive on different eras of dyke fashion choices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cfd29412-44db-4396-994a-bdeab5e4d7e3/SH%2BThe%2BDollhouse%2BAnne%2Bfinal.png Features - Dressing Dykes: The History of Fashion is Full of Lesbians - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/15d67dd9-dfcc-4f86-ab9f-6ff76296d8fb/SH%2BThe%2BDollhouse%2BStorme%2Bfinal.png Features - Dressing Dykes: The History of Fashion is Full of Lesbians - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/when-life-gives-you-ginny-lemons monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/263d8fc2-6fab-4669-8717-cecaa32cd8d2/Ginny%2BLemon%2B6%2B-%2B%40emwajones.jpg Features - When Life Gives You Ginny Lemons - Make it stand out Celebrities just aren’t what they used to be: Long gone are the days of the rivalries and call outs of old Hollywood and the early noughties. The stars of the screen - both silver and cellular - are more focused on creating a brand over causing controversy. While this may mean that vicariously getting drama through the celeb world just isn’t the same, it also means when a unique character steps foot into the scene, they stand out more than ever before. Enter Ginny Lemon: the midlands maverick who took RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season two by storm until they removed themselves from the BBC 3 show. In the time since, the yellow haired superstar has been causing mischief online and offline, making sure their iconic exit is far from the last piece of legendary antics you’ll see from this performer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/350ec4e1-6c61-4718-876b-fc3a98ae6d08/Ginny%2BLemon%2B20%2B-%2B%40emwajones.jpg Features - When Life Gives You Ginny Lemons - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/83c9755f-48ad-4461-b9e5-7b83364f7b16/Ginny%2BLemon%2B12%2B-%2B%40emwajones.jpg Features - When Life Gives You Ginny Lemons - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92129211-aa52-4f68-afbc-5d33cf966e29/Ginny%2BLemon%2B9%2B-%2B%40emwajones.jpg Features - When Life Gives You Ginny Lemons - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e7134e88-a1d9-4e29-b81c-fc1a619bd3af/Ginny%2BLemon%2B1%2B-%2B%40emwajones.jpg Features - When Life Gives You Ginny Lemons - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/witch-week-with-princess-julia monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77c92b47-ac4f-451e-ac28-9a8c12a39e93/IMG_7017.jfif Features - Witch Week with Princess Julia - Make it stand out Enlightenment, spirituality, answers to questions and a glimpse into the future whilst acknowledging the past... Us humans are fascinated with the meaning of life, tapping into a higher power and making sense of this mortal coil. An existence that surely must have some purpose whilst we dwell on this planet. The idea that a series of symbols may hold the secrets of our lives spans back to ancient times and in fact when I did a bit of online research I discovered that the concept of tarot cards seems to have emerged with the superpowers of the Egyptian civilisation. They actually had a grip on things and probably know more than we know now when you think about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/109877b5-b29f-471a-90e9-4f1c17cc4651/tarot%2Bone.jpg Features - Witch Week with Princess Julia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cadd4840-87ab-48e9-9ab6-18e009a059ba/tarot%2Btwo.jpg Features - Witch Week with Princess Julia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/forest-dinner monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c25ba17-b9d5-4fa3-8d02-53b69d4ae6da/09%2Bcopy%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Forest Dinner is Here to Subvert Gender Roles - Make it stand out The interaction of an LGBTQ couple internally, in terms of communication and survival as a same-sex couple in modern times and externally how they are stigmatized by the outside world, and finally the effort to socialize and create a seemingly traditional family. Pink and blue color to present the pattern of a seemingly socially acceptable relationship (pink = woman, blue = man / the roles of both sexes).

My grandmother taught me to sew when I was five and I still use those skills today. I’ve dabbled in painting, crafting, bead work, writing, self portraiture and photography. Always feeding my creativity to see it flourish in the work I would make. Being an artist has helped me express myself in countless ways and certainly saved me in others. But, as per the 21st century, I never felt like I really had the time to dive deeply into these creative waters. Then a global pandemic and lockdown happened: Even though I was given all the time in the world, the stress of it totally whipped out my creative drive. I’d get spurts of energy early on in lockdown but generally really didn’t feel that connected to anything I was creating. Or if I started a project, I would end up losing steam and quickly just giving up. Forcing it definitely didn’t work either - resulting in more self loathing and loads of imposter syndrome. Because yes of course I’ve always created, but now that I really had the time, I couldn’t produce anything. Had I just been faking it this whole time? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/119b49b2-3c87-4fd7-953f-67a530d9ff4b/ginab.png Features - Why Creative Hibernation is Necessary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81d0ac16-6056-4304-b10f-c9923d79a165/ginac.png Features - Why Creative Hibernation is Necessary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/fuck-pride-month monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0d273ce6-99d4-424c-bcb4-4f100c185043/Dollhouse_Pride_1.png Features - Fuck Pride Month - Make it stand out Yay! Get happy queers, because it’s “PRIDE MONTH”!! Now, I can hear some of you thinking: “What exactly IS “Pride Month?” Well, in case you have missed the updates from the Grand High Council Of Global Queer Cultures, June is now officially the month we have been allocated to celebrate our sexual and gender identities. You can read all about it on The Guardian, The Independent and even The Sun, and The BBC confidently tells us that “June is Pride Month”. Only the thing is: IT”S NOT. June is NOT the UK’s “Pride Month”. The most cursory of Google searches (using the term “Pride Month UK”) brings up these dates: “Tuesday 1st February 2022 - Monday 28th February 2022”. That’s because the closest relation we have to a “Pride Month” in this country (and which sometimes gets confusingly labelled as “Pride Month”) is LGBT History Month which happens every February. Popular and influential media outlets that are keen to tell us that “June Is Global Pride Month” are contradicted by that bastion of deep-dive research and radical thought, Wikipedia, which states that “Pride month is not recognized internationally as Pride celebrations take place in many other places at different times”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c3ff08e-2ded-4934-ad8c-b5c86d883c0d/Dollhouse_Pride_2.png Features - Fuck Pride Month - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9ae1e875-5466-48f6-8543-1e33881e95ec/Dollhouse_Pride_3.png Features - Fuck Pride Month - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-sickening monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d3ef7f2b-5b78-4049-82fa-11afc769e294/the%2Bsickening%2B%28colour%29%2Bp1.png Features - The Sickening - A Comic on Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8a07dccf-28c2-461a-b731-a460237dac11/the%2Bsickening%2B%28colour%29%2Bp2.png Features - The Sickening - A Comic on Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/804fa786-679d-46ae-8796-903bd132f89e/the%2Bsickening%2B%28colour%29%2Bp3.png Features - The Sickening - A Comic on Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f8c2d97a-c36f-4b49-afe0-16d343a0db04/the%2Bsickening%2B%28colour%29%2Bp4.png Features - The Sickening - A Comic on Illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/what-it-feels-like-for-an-icon monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c1cddd12-73ec-4108-a2bb-15d46c1c5e5e/paris%2Bcover%2Bfinaljpg.jpg Features - Paris Lees and What It Feels Like For An Icon - Make it stand out I still remember the first time I heard about Paris Lees, it was a couple of weeks after I came out as trans myself in 2013. I remember so vividly, because at that time, before the Laverne’s and Janet’s (…and Caitlyn’s lol) of modern day trans representation, it was SO rare to see trans people in the media, especially being positively represented. In the ten years post-Nadia on Big Brother and pre-Paris the only time you saw trans people in the media would be either as punchlines in popular films and sitcoms or as punching-bags on shows like Jerry Springer and Maury. It is undeniable that Paris was the start of this new wave of trans representation here in the UK. However, for me, it’s never just been about surface level representation with Paris - it wasn’t just about her being represented as a trans person, it’s always been about what she represented as a trans person. Which was, ironically, that she was so much more than just trans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4480e8be-69aa-4a69-b75d-db48fe00343a/paris%2B1.jpg Features - Paris Lees and What It Feels Like For An Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f24ba404-4dc9-4890-8b69-684a6f55704e/paris%2B6.jpg Features - Paris Lees and What It Feels Like For An Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae29c2a6-5095-4287-a4d3-e993101daea1/paris%2B7.jpg Features - Paris Lees and What It Feels Like For An Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e806ce58-d74f-4997-8254-b7c65d23ab16/paris%2B2.jpg Features - Paris Lees and What It Feels Like For An Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1a5e58cf-302f-4c21-8abf-f95f5ffb3311/paris%2B9.jpg Features - Paris Lees and What It Feels Like For An Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/babys-first-redundancy monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/adffc82c-47aa-4394-9f4a-fefb334eef92/babys%2Bfirst%2Bredundancy.jpeg Features - Baby’s First Redundancy - Make it stand out Young people’s careers — and I don’t think that this is too strong a statement — have been completely and utterly fucked over by the pandemic. Nearly 700,000 Brits lost their jobs as soon as Covid made its happy way into our shires, and those who didn’t were stuck inside furloughed, clawing at the walls, or working from home, spending day in and day out sat on the same spot of their sofa. While the older generations with their 4 bed houses that they bought for £12.50 in 1987 have been able to leisurely move between rooms (!) and perhaps escape to a garden (!!), the majority of young people in the UK have no such luxury; living in small one-bedroom flats with their prized monstera plant being the closest thing they have to a green space. For most of the pandemic, I was one such worker-from-home. However, everything changed when one rogue Monday last month, me and the rest of my close-knit team got the fateful meeting invite. The dread started to creep in when we were told that HR were going to be present. The words “lay-offs” started to bounce around in our group chat, accompanied by nervous jokes about us all being fired. Surely they won’t do it, I thought. Surely, after working hard for the last year, they won’t be turfing us out into the cold realities of the job market. As it turned out, I was wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eeb7f696-a083-4513-ad55-d74052b3a57c/it%27s%2Ba%2Bredundancy.jpeg Features - Baby’s First Redundancy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-60s-cinema monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2a07070e-0ba2-4163-a27b-0295b7eee83a/anita%2Beckberg%2Bla%2Bdolce%2Bvita%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: 60s Cinema - Make it stand out You want a Bugatti?

I dream of dreaming, of shutting my lids and drifting to la-la land, waking only at the designated time. Reaching sleep takes a generous administration of Zopiclone, 37 position shifts, a poorly executed meditation session and a desperate plea to the gods. I first experienced insomnia during Year 6 SATs; anxious about the next day’s exam, I tossed and turned as the arms on my dolphin clock raced to morning. I recall my mom running me a bath to relax as the sky cracked into apricot, and I sobbed. I would come to accept insomnia as a given in periods of high pressure and do my best to prepare – going to bed earlier, avoiding certain foods, no screen time after 9. But, as the effectiveness of each attempt failed, I realised that despite fastidiously controlling my environment, my insomnia was fuelled by outside forces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aaeea3a4-6a69-4f75-b963-2e98a5f87aec/A7A74DA5-A2AE-458A-B304-FE1E4A7F5682.jpeg Features - Bring Me A Dream: On Insomnia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1894f4be-b417-4e98-a622-8d6745d30327/C1643282-52D8-41C0-B13E-30040733D85A.jpeg Features - Bring Me A Dream: On Insomnia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/come-the-fuck-on-bridget monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3eebe9d8-0af6-4193-a11d-c83f17ca5a7b/Bridget2_Lily%2BBlakely.jpg Features - Come the Fuck On Bridget! - Make it stand out This year marks 20 years since the release of Bridget Jones’ Diary, a film about a 30-something-year-old woman and her daily struggles with love, work and weight, based on the column and book by writer Helen Fielding. My first introduction to Bridget was in a cinema in my hometown, a small island in Essex, about an hour outside London. I started with the sequel — The Edge of Reason. I was twelve years old, and this was my review: It’s over the top. American actress Renee Zellweger’s accent as the protagonist, British Bridget Jones, wasn’t believable. I wasn’t going to be a fan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/39185519-bee9-47f1-9f25-6baf99629f11/Bridget3_Lily%2BBlakely.jpg Features - Come the Fuck On Bridget! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/231ba66f-5e80-4ec7-8138-e88912566491/Bridget1_Lily%2BBlakely.jpg Features - Come the Fuck On Bridget! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sunsets monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dcb7fa6a-c1ef-495c-9f1e-c7c8a8da08b4/_FINALS-EU6A5330-Edit.jpg Features - Sunsets Celebrates the Divine Femininity of Nature - Make it stand out In this editorial for the Dollhouse, our beauty editor Grace Ellington looks at the reliability of the sunset to be beautiful.

Both models trailblazing a way through an industry that has been too uniform for too long, Emma and Nyome are redefining what it means to be a supermodel. Less about looking a certain way, they show that true beauty and superpower comes from inner strength and self-belief. In an exclusive shoot for the Polyester Dollhouse, Emma has gone behind the camera to shoot Nyome as a 90’s supermodel, showcasing her in an entirely new light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ddc67948-b355-4675-88f3-975a3955a4cc/Nyome_001.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2937f2db-28ec-428a-9212-78f695641469/Nyome_004.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8404583b-ee9c-46f7-af33-917cf7861b4c/Nyome_015.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ab286126-d494-409e-b91d-462f1c606081/Nyome_006.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e46055b-02f0-4cc1-accb-2ed9caf9205f/Nyome_005.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/85be0d14-3a49-4d3d-8ee8-558683c0fa42/Nyome_011.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbb79c6a-0281-4984-af2f-d7e6107ecc66/Nyome_012.jpg Features - In Conversation: Emma Breschi and Nyome Nicholas-Williams on Representation, Manifestation and Making It as a Model - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-amulets-megan monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9c41b630-719f-4966-8493-b04a6bd356ab/megan%2Bamulet.png Features - Beauty Amulets: Megan - Make it stand out 2005 was a special year. My uniform was a pair of black skinny jeans from Dorothy Perkins, long sleeved black top from Primark and purple Converses. I frequently made trips to either Pontypridd’s Claire’s or the Blue Banana in Cardiff to buy yet more stripy arm warmers and stroke the very expensive Nightmare Before Christmas merch. Whilst flipping my poor attempt at a Hayley Williams hair cut in my Kerrang wallpapered bedroom, I was meticulously drawing black circles around my eyes and wiping them off again with baby wipes. Repeating this until I perfected the ultimate emo eye. In 2004, My Chemical Romance’s, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge album was released, and I was introduced to every emo’s dream, Gerard Way. Way taught me everything was going to be okay, that it didn’t matter if I wore black and no one else did, that I didn’t need to buy Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, and to say f**k off to all those girls at school who didn’t want to be friends with me because I was fat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9ba1736-44ea-4e16-93f6-0e127e8cad76/megan%2Bamulet%2B2.png Features - Beauty Amulets: Megan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9470e020-8dbc-427c-acb0-c25f033e0da3/megan%2Bamulet%2B3.png Features - Beauty Amulets: Megan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/heres-to-you-avalon-lurks monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc1810c4-ea2e-4d0b-bd54-3b4da7a3e173/avalon%2B2.jpg Features - Here's to You Avalon Lurks - Make it stand out With her first album approaching, Avalon Lurks is an artist that knows how to create her own world through song. Her track Papi Chulo embodies the feeling of driving through a warm summer’s night, and the music video takes us on a trip to Lurks’ dreamy world. Filmed in 16mm, the video draws us into the hazy neon lights of the Californian night. Lurks' Chicana culture and her attention to the detail makes for her unique style and sound through the blending of genres. Catholic imagery and the air of mysticism in both her visuals and sound creates her atmospheric presence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f9cc89f1-3ff6-4e93-95b3-b1b0fa1d569d/avalon%2B1.jpg Features - Here's to You Avalon Lurks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6bde7dbc-da66-46c9-8551-67824cd45a17/avalon%2B4.jpg Features - Here's to You Avalon Lurks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/570c5ef5-1893-4259-a942-c72f6f316f58/avalon%2B3.jpg Features - Here's to You Avalon Lurks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-belle-of-the-ball monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ec6add12-7e83-4f77-84bd-cecde74d3c8a/0001070-R1-28-29.jpg Features - The Belle of the Ball - Make it stand out Now, it’s a strange way to start a synth- soul R&B new age EP review to reference a long-dead white CIS guy, who sported a rather fetching moustache and had quite the reputation to be one of the most famous and celebrated classical composers of the 1800s. But here I am, and here you are. Stay on this path with me. Johann Strauss II’s ‘The Blue Danube’ that runs over 10 minutes long, takes the listener on the journey along Vienna’s most iconic attractions, from its’ trickling birth in the mountain springs, to the harsh and chaotic notes of the river rapids, all leading to a boastful crescendo right in the heart of Vienna, a sparkling jewel at the heart of the city.

It was a very glamorous and exciting portrayal of life as a sexy, money swindling, stripper in the US of A, baby! Well, stripping in the UK is literally nothing like that. The amount of turmoil you actually have to undergo as any kind of sex worker is ridiculously undermined, but there seems to be a distinct lack of knowledge on what it is like to be an exotic dancer in the UK. No one talks about the nights that you leave the strip club £20 down because you had to pay your house fee, and there were no customers that night, or you got unlucky, or having your rent due in four days and needing to somehow magic up a solid £600 in that time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5025efdd-e62d-4155-bb96-eb43d2ab6d7a/kate2.jpeg Features - What People Don’t Tell You About Stripping in the UK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5623103a-11b9-41ec-a401-30dc7ae12f04/kate3.jpeg Features - What People Don’t Tell You About Stripping in the UK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bbd02515-b8aa-4110-b211-a9cc647ece9d/kate4.jpeg Features - What People Don’t Tell You About Stripping in the UK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/earth-lurker monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5dc81fcc-c1c1-4b93-aae0-3dd431fe1a7a/EL%2B2%2B-%2B2%2Bfinal%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Earth Lurker - Make it stand out Earth Lurker is an exploration of Dark beauty of nature - from the roots.

But I have been living in New York... only, I am in a small town, the town I grew up in? I recognize these houses. This dream recalls them with such detail, I remember suffocating. How am I living back home again? Getting back to New York is all that matters. This I know, but what I do not know is how I might find a means of getting there. I have no money and no way of making any. Nor can I regain my composure. I barely am able to hold a thought, let alone come up with a plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3fb077a0-f043-418e-b4d4-ff8ea073116c/jen2+%281%29.jpeg Features - I Dream Again of Houses: A Diary on Dreams, and Leaving New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d2b90a60-9a86-4533-8549-d22fbeb4cc51/jen5.jpeg Features - I Dream Again of Houses: A Diary on Dreams, and Leaving New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f03f4129-a3f2-4fe6-b7b1-177a9941d658/jen7+%281%29.jpeg Features - I Dream Again of Houses: A Diary on Dreams, and Leaving New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/35b93ba1-f5c1-4ee1-bfed-6357bd22a665/jen6.jpeg Features - I Dream Again of Houses: A Diary on Dreams, and Leaving New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d0311bf9-4561-4f83-ac87-43f3b5b5f07d/jen3.jpeg Features - I Dream Again of Houses: A Diary on Dreams, and Leaving New York City - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/keeping-an-eye-out-for-nosebleed-fitz monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/413a7c21-553c-4be0-b6f9-1ed70c799609/may%2Bcover%2Bnosebleedfitzzoomin.jpg Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Conquering the Internet From Carlisle It was towards the end of 2019 when I first scrolled upon Nosebleed Fitz on my For You Page. TikTok was still a baby, and so was Bella. Only 17 but with her signature unruly black hair, she grinned at the camera clutching a quiche, declaring proudly that it wasn’t burnt and that “quiche Wednesdays” would be going ahead as planned. It stood out in a sea of videos congested with dance trends and before and after makeup reveals; here was an androgynous icon with an unexpectedly broad Cumbrian accent. “That was the start of it all.” Fitz laughs, when I bring the video up. She’s got the same striking presence on our video call a year on from the quiche debut; donned in a casual vest and her now-red hair up in a messy bun, she’s still filled with a presence that instantly makes me feel at ease. Fitz’ presence is grounding and down to earth – a million miles away from her newfound career as one of the UK’s biggest and most distinctly recognisable TikTok creators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21e47cf6-aaea-40d2-b712-828bc15e37dd/1.jpg Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6fb41f2c-e34b-4bf5-a2ec-bedee6d0a273/2.jpg Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6c3304d3-026c-436d-8882-9b24555e38f5/3.jpg Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2297fd93-a19c-4996-ba01-95604d314b4d/4.jpg Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/89776549-bfeb-4c8b-8c1a-a93e672fead3/bella%2B6.png Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6d09dd02-56c4-4ee8-b827-2d05583cef5b/5.jpg Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b82cf0b-dde3-40e9-a12a-8569731e8755/bella%2B9.png Features - Keeping an Eye Out For Nosebleed Fitz - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/culture-slut-gay-gifts-and-pride-parades monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/274d7ade-8dd9-441e-8e5b-8d644873ae47/GLAM%2BPEOPLE%2B2%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Gay Gifts and Pride Parades - Make it stand out Ladies and gentlethems, I must be honest with you: I’m very depressed right now. Brighton Pride has just announced the cancellation of the annual Pride Parade (and associated events) for the second year running, which makes me want to lay down in the woods for an eternal sleep. I know that the reasons for it are solid, I know that its probably the best and safest decision, and that it cant have been easy to make. I know that the dangers of Covid aren't over, and that we still need to be cautious and careful. I also know that mainstream Pride events have problems with corruption, racism, exclusion, erasure, transphobia, rainbow capitalism, assimilationism and patriarchal oppression, but GODDAMNIT I JUST WANT TO COVER MYSELF WITH GLITTER AND RUN THROUGH THE STREETS WITH HOARDES OF MY QUEER COMRADES. I want to mix a giant bottle of vodka with diet coke and drink it sitting on the curb. I want to agonise over which party I’m going to go to at night, try to have a recharging disco nap and accidentally sleep straight through ‘til 1am but still make it out again. I want to have the world’s worst hangover on the Sunday but still head out to the street parties and then the closing parties. I want to see the giant street sweeping machines out and about on Monday morning as I head home, vacuuming up the glitter and confetti from the gutter. But most of all, I want the few days we are permitted each year to truly live as unapologetically as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7d614699-c3d2-4838-bbe9-ed635c7f4ba7/GLAM%2BPEOPLE%2B1%2Bcopy.jpg Features - Culture Slut: Gay Gifts and Pride Parades - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/my-biggest-enemy-is-me monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1afdc217-350b-445f-8c85-0719358219f0/%E2%80%9CMy%2Bbiggest%2Benemy%2Bis%2Bme%2B_%2BPop%2Ba%2B911%E2%80%9D..jpg Features - My Biggest Enemy is Me - Make it stand out And capitalist structures of oppression : Lady Gaga’s Chromatica The snow/ice felt like something different, a refreshing change in the air’s consistency and therefore a welcome atmospheric adjustment.

The page, which is home to some of the New Yorker’s portfolio, is a space of beauty and safety, celebrating diversity in all its forms. Her bright, bold and powerful work has grabbed the attention of tens of thousands of followers, as well as being featured in magazines like New York Magazine, the New Yorker, VICE and Refinery29. I asked Rochelle some questions about her art, where it comes from, what it means to her to be a size-inclusive photographer and where she draws inspiration from. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ecdaae5e-98f9-47bc-9bd3-2808a84d8504/RochelleB_polyesterSelf_9870.jpg Features - Photographing Identity with Rochelle Brock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/08892e29-7ccf-4c33-a055-f286db90eac5/RochelleB_polyesterSelf_9798.jpg Features - Photographing Identity with Rochelle Brock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/does-poland-hate-women monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7516212-2f17-40fb-b69c-30ca96fd8458/protest.jpg Features - Does Poland Hate Women? - Make it stand out Warsaw, November 2020 The air vibrates with anticipation and suppressed anger. Suppressed for now. The voices all blend into one, in faces lies understanding. The wind is cold but it doesn't discourage, it adds to determination. It adds to raising tension lined with solidarity. Then it starts. The men in uniforms move towards the people, the line between a source of help and perpetrators turning blurry. Someone screams, pepper spray in their eyes. The chanting seems to float over the crowds, over the flares and banners. One of them reads: "I wish I could abort my government." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e35bbbe6-4643-496b-ae4c-13b01fa037f7/reaching_out.jpg Features - Does Poland Hate Women? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/85c6901f-2439-4b61-8c6b-bcc509dc990b/handmaid.jpg Features - Does Poland Hate Women? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bed566a3-6d53-4a18-b2f0-75a2361c53c2/repercussions.jpg Features - Does Poland Hate Women? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/florals-for-spring monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5ae85bb8-fcfc-41e1-9534-c11a77d90b95/GRAPHIC.FLOWER.jpg Features - Florals for Spring: Alice Dodd’s Ode to Flowers - Make it stand out Makeup artist Alice Dodds is inspired by the idea of florals for spring (groundbreaking) whilst taking current Instagram trends and colour pallets and showing them in her own abstracted, camp way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/876b2455-1e3c-43b4-9e4a-75690af9aad0/DIAMONTE.FLOWER.jpg Features - Florals for Spring: Alice Dodd’s Ode to Flowers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f9563e6-dc0f-45f8-b263-06ccf356d65f/AIRBRUSH.FLOWER.jpg Features - Florals for Spring: Alice Dodd’s Ode to Flowers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/covers monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/69c639d9-ec74-47d4-9d04-53b9a0bb28ad/Image%2B3%2B%2B18%2Bcopie.jpg Features - Covers is the Editorial Celebrating Y2K R’N’’B - Make it stand out Covers is a series taking influence from old RnB album covers of the 2000's.

There are good nights, there are bad nights, and you need a good night. In the dark of the club we were all beautiful, all hair, shadow, lashes, scent. We’d all start in the hole: $100 to the managers for a “stage fee”, $20 to tip the make-up artist, tip-outs at close to the house mom, DJ, “private room concierge”. When the night is good, the grip around your ankle thick, you almost forget that the club is set up to fleece you, the stripper, as much as the clientele, or when the men are only buying you drinks, you may forget this point entirely, and your mind will spin a logic about the last good night: it was the dress, the lashes . . . no: it was the perfume. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bd6812d0-2151-4b39-a2d9-0b56a27a67a1/image_6487327%2B%282%29.jfif Features - Beauty Amulets: Rachel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d5e5c56a-9a1e-4ba3-8def-513b9cd8bc6f/image_6487327%2B%281%29.jfif Features - Beauty Amulets: Rachel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/2b-or-not-2b monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56ba2d3b-ed4b-4f02-a3ce-658c9c24ad0f/Untitled.png Features - 2B or Not 2B - Make it stand out Knock, knock, who’s at the door? “2B or not 2B” is a short digital fashion film directed by Noemi Tombeur and Daphne Simons portraying a fictional story about mental health.

Veronica Lake, with her iconic peek-a-boo hairstyle, plays Jennifer - a resurrected 270 year old witch. Back in the Salem Witch Trails, Jennifer and her father Daniel, are burnt at the stake and buried under an oak tree to contain their unrested spirits. Jennifer curses her accuser, Jonathan Wooley, to marry the ‘wrong woman’ along with the rest of his male bloodline for decades to come. Fast forward to the 1940’s and she’s back, but accidentally falls in love when a spell goes wrong. Jennifer is playful and child-like - a bit different to how you would think an ancient witch would be. She slides down (and up) the staircase banister, messes up her spells and, even before drinking the love potion, is focusing her energies on being flirtatious and beautiful.

No, I had said. I also didn’t work out intensely, didn’t have any family history of degenerative musculoskeletal diseases. I hadn’t fallen recently either. I was only twenty-three. Even though none of the risk factors seemed to line up, the pain radiating down the right side of my body was very real, and very much sounded like sciatic nerve pain according to my web searches. The PA reached the same diagnosis and sent me for x-rays. Before I was wheeled out of the room she asked if I had questions.

Fat art is currently having its fifteen minutes, alongside the over saturation of body positivity in the media, and arguments are breaking out alongside it. Is it fair when thin artists use fat bodies in their work not only for profit, but for the clout of being inclusive? Will fat art be a flash in the pan in terms of popularity, or is diverse body representation here to stay? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/836877b9-23d0-4af9-97e8-274c6e255e63/SM069_ShonaMcAndrew_Casey_2021.jpg Features - Being Seen &amp; Seeing Others: How the Art World Treats Fat Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fb7a8b48-3e05-4574-a0dd-7d74004fdb1a/IMG_0583.jpg Features - Being Seen &amp; Seeing Others: How the Art World Treats Fat Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f7361cf0-0a75-444d-98d3-54abeef0e918/deja.jpeg Features - Being Seen &amp; Seeing Others: How the Art World Treats Fat Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2bafa59b-9251-4f0b-b3b9-1365b9a11d29/Screenshot%2B2021-04-19%2Bat%2B16.18.52.png Features - Being Seen &amp; Seeing Others: How the Art World Treats Fat Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3050de40-f4ce-4977-a8e2-e4dc7f279386/7.jpg Features - Being Seen &amp; Seeing Others: How the Art World Treats Fat Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/31d11080-1da6-434b-81c0-45d72d1f2bb1/SM045_ShonaMcAndrew_StarGazing_2020.jpg Features - Being Seen &amp; Seeing Others: How the Art World Treats Fat Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-simple-life-on-mars monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ecf289d-d7c8-4335-bc71-de2e20923e3e/Simple%2BLife%2B7.jpg Features - The Simple Life on Mars - Make it stand out We developed this concept during lockdown and took inspiration from early 2000s cultural icons such as Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton as well as Barbarella and Trinity from The Matrix.

The loss of this physical realm of self expression and unadulterated joy has really hit heavy one year on. But, at last, a glimmer of hope is on the horizon. The government roadmap has projected the reopening of clubs to be the 21st of June, and even if it doesn't happen, that is at least a point in the future to focus; a possibility that reminds that one day this will all be over and we will be able to dance with our friends again. It’s one thing to hear your favourite song being warbled by your laptop speakers as you sit in bed, but its entirely another to hear it in club, from a speaker as big as your torso, to feel the music deep in your veins and truly allow yourself to be transported, limbs thrown about in wild abandon! This last year has been as close as we have been since the days of witch burnings for communal dancing to practically be declared illegal. When you dance, the power of the universe flows through you, you become a conduit to the global consciousness of joy, it is truly The Way, The Bliss, The Love. Dancing is alchemical. Dancing is the exploration of gnostic mysteries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92c89117-aed3-4bd5-b899-21efb73464a4/misha%2B2.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: On Dancing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-amulets-nadiah monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8290e846-e9f8-4e8b-9d5e-ed0ca8eb4cf7/QKZS0369.jpeg Features - Beauty Amulets: Nadiah - Make it stand out Yves Saint Laurent Vernis A Levres Glossy Stain As a teenager I’d frequently take long bus trips after school up to Selfridges and Harrods just to try on as many shades of lipstick/gloss I could find. I remember walking around both stores in my school uniform, constantly in awe trying on sample after sample, patiently saving up my lunch money so I could finally buy a product I could cherish and finally take home as my very own. Growing up I always loved the idea of make up and its endless possibilities, I would rush to the magazine stands in WHSmith every Friday just to see what looks had been created for the models on the catwalk, I’d read about the products, and the interviews whilst fantasising myself wearing the look on my own imaginary runway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/79fb51c4-9932-41e5-ada7-0c4c66c5b82e/IMG_4014.jpeg Features - Beauty Amulets: Nadiah - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/19d7b4f9-5813-4370-a092-17c66e0e41c2/IMG_E3431.jpeg Features - Beauty Amulets: Nadiah - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ce4ff452-2365-454b-8af5-cbd5cc56f960/amulet1.jpeg Features - Beauty Amulets: Nadiah - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/ramona-slicks-guide-to-being-a-bimbo monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e517e5bd-a72e-42a4-a109-a1a52b587b72/ramona2.jpeg Features - Ramona Slick's Guide to Being a Bimbo - Make it stand out What do you think of when you hear the word bimbo? “Bleached-blonde hair, massive implants, heavy makeup, platform heels, and stripper-approved outfits?” Anna Nicole Smith? Paris Hilton? Anna Faris in House Bunny? Historically the bimbo movement’s beginnings are firmly rooted in kink culture and body modification but social media has stepped in to shake up that definition. It’s evolved the concept from straight up bimbofication, to having those like Alicia Amira championing female empowerment with her Be a Bimbo movement: A bimbo is now in charge of her sexuality. An empowered, blonde bitch! Ramona Slick thinks of all this and more. They’re a drag queen, a burlesque dancer, a stripper, a sex worker and an all round glamorous femme-fatale. As someone who’s been a fan of theirs since Tumblr was the centre of my universe they have always championed high femme beauty through their aesthetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/67f06eb3-30cd-462c-a07b-caa607d3c6de/Ramona%2B1.jpeg Features - Ramona Slick's Guide to Being a Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/851db3ca-a2ca-4c84-a08f-45b79644133d/ramona.jpeg Features - Ramona Slick's Guide to Being a Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/433bf5b9-2531-4722-b457-0a6aa3189d1e/Ramona%2B3.jpeg Features - Ramona Slick's Guide to Being a Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9dc1904c-cdb9-4f90-95a9-85b82bdb4162/ramona3.jpeg Features - Ramona Slick's Guide to Being a Bimbo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/soft-fabrics-for-soft-feelings monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/699ed6f0-dac1-440e-a6b6-2adc8cdce8a2/oda1.jpeg Features - Soft Fabrics for Soft Feelings - Make it stand out I stood in the airport like a 5’7 Sully in an ankle-grazing faux fur coat that amplified my physical size feeling terrified.

These groups and individuals encompass more than a gender identity but a fight for equality. Coined in solidarity with non-conforming women or non-binary individuals are groups of “womxn” opting for inclusivity – but who are womxn? Only in 2019 was womxn added to Dictionary.com defining the word as: ‘a woman (used, especially in intersectional feminism, as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans and nonbinary women).’ The history of womxn is fairly infantile - which implies the identities of those since included in the umbrella term womxn as also new. They are not. This seemingly revolutionary spelling is doing more to highlight disparities of gender and erasing a non-binary identity with a simple “x” to mark the spot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fc0b3931-0cf9-42aa-8e2b-17732cb55931/annie%2B2.jpeg Features - Women VS Womxn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5093aed2-073a-4e66-8b41-f05d18f98071/annie%2B3.jpeg Features - Women VS Womxn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-investigation-on-gendered-violence-injustice-amp-true-crime monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7381ec5a-fec5-480f-a027-35a0128f606d/franz%2B1.png Features - The Investigation: On Gendered Violence, Injustice &amp; True Crime When I told my sister that I was watching The Investigation, the BBC’s latest instalment of Scandi-noir, she glanced scathingly over at me: ‘another one where a woman’s murdered and a team of male policemen search for her violated body?’ Yeah, I guess she’s right. Directed by Tobias Lindholm, the series is a slow-paced true crime drama closely based on the case for the murder of 30-year-old Swedish journalist Kim Wall. The media attention in the wake of her 2017 disappearance was extreme. By the end of that year, over 60,000 articles had been written worldwide about the horrific circumstances of her death – the largest homemade submarine in the world, the dismemberment, the pieces of her body being dredged from the ocean over the following months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06cfafa7-71c1-4c60-b29c-6e97fb5cb42b/franz%2B2.png Features - The Investigation: On Gendered Violence, Injustice &amp; True Crime - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c63fe79-6249-4909-8e13-eaee1c4af4e9/franz%2B3.png Features - The Investigation: On Gendered Violence, Injustice &amp; True Crime - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/heavenly-creatures monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/60198d30-a01a-49b4-9e7d-850af9871358/IMG_3921.png Features - Heavenly Creatures - Make it stand out Heavenly Creatures is about being queer, being a person of color, being trans, and of coming to terms and dealing with society’s notion of beauty. It questions what is considered beautiful, what is considered noteworthy, what is considered valuable. Muted pastel tones serve as the backdrop to the vibrant models, demanding and commanding attention. The focus is not on beauty itself but on queering, de-gendering, and decolonizing our constructs of what we consider beautiful to create our own concepts of beauty.

No one's scared of me, no one dreads me walking into a room. A’Whora is the fantasy of being intimidating, of using drag as a way to be everything that I'm not.” Boyle, who grew up in Nottinghamshire and made his way down south to study at the London College of Fashion long before he became A’Whora, found that instead of the threatening alter-ego that is his drag persona, his Northern charm would be their way to succeed in the capital city. Hailing from up North from a working class background, A’Whora tells me, was a blessing and curse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/97deed18-c45e-4d8a-afe3-d69fcc40fe5c/intimidating-quote.gif Features - If You’re Feeling Sinister: A’Whora’s Villain Origin Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6df54740-ed32-4f83-afe3-eacc2bfe4f00/villain-quote.gif Features - If You’re Feeling Sinister: A’Whora’s Villain Origin Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9b84ea45-e668-40a7-8129-ce214dd1ed12/collage%2B1.png Features - If You’re Feeling Sinister: A’Whora’s Villain Origin Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fcb0afd2-05c0-4598-80eb-d0ee8ce393f8/a-more-a.gif Features - If You’re Feeling Sinister: A’Whora’s Villain Origin Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/getting-irl-with-yung-cyber-princess monthly 0.5 2023-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/94c2486d-6b00-48e8-bd61-e731c4572219/2A7831E8-0351-4032-B51F-A8640ED6F3A8.jpeg Features - Getting IRL with Yung Cyber Princess Yung Cyber Princess, or YCP is a digital creator and musician who makes digital art and visuals for herself as well as for brands like Telfar, Ella Loca and FreakCityLA.

In French, it is called l’esprit de l’escalier, which translates to the mind on the staircase - that particular feeling of knowing what you should have said when it is too late. I think about the time I gave an entirely improvised dance performance for a holiday camp talent show and how I was suddenly so embarrassed that I ran off stage and hid, leaving my partner alone. I think about the time I was sent to all-day detention at secondary school because I was wearing a skirt (scandal!) and instead of doing the work teachers sent up, I wrote sad self-defeatist poetry. But more than anything else, I think about the 2019 Met Gala Camp: Notes On Fashion, and the truly shocking way in which nearly every attendee completely missed the mark. Watching the fashion elite (and Rita Ora) scramble around to make sense of the intangible nature of camp was truly a sight to behold, and whilst so many tried so hard, so little was achieved. What was proved on the pink carpet that night was that campness is innate: It's not a costume, it's not a style, it barely has any signifiers - something is either camp or it is not. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1b969199-ef91-48d6-98d2-46c85afa0e45/Misha%2BTallulah%2Bcollage%2B2.jpeg Features - Culture Slut: Tallulah Bankhead &amp; Camp Failure - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/sigil-making-for-creativity monthly 0.5 2023-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/792d9854-0e9d-435e-9a04-4866ea6a34a4/w9.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity Happy Pisces season! Spring is approaching and it's time to bask in the creativity and embrace all the overflowing emotions. As a Cancer baby, I adore the artistic and, of course, witchy feelings that come with these signs. As many of us will still be at home and trying to cook up creative projects, I’ll be taking you through how to create a sigil for creativity, and then incorporate it into a simple spell candle. A sigil is a symbol that represents a specific intention. A sigil can be used in many different types of magic, and it's such a simple yet effective way of always carrying or incorporating your magical intentions with you in your everyday life. I’ll be showing you the way I create my sigils, but there are many other ways you can create them. The most important factor is that it feels effective and personal to your own goals and desires, so I encourage you to play around with the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8f53e41f-e76f-41b1-9044-520e430b2af0/w1.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ff824563-1dd8-4484-916c-156f96698ce8/w3.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a65d1244-a536-4465-9061-6855031fe88f/w4.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2cd9d412-a8f9-4311-968d-ab0615adf6a2/w5.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9be1e99e-7181-4703-89f3-052dd7fb1020/w6.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/572235f7-9aa4-4671-965d-956e9452e5d4/sigil.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3088c187-610d-42d1-8006-be3cf61e1fc5/w7.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c7eaf36c-7fa0-4e54-bba8-dea7a9c1112b/w8.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77cde923-6656-47b2-a0ae-25525b94224e/w9+%281%29.png Features - Sigil Making For Creativity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beauty-amulets-orchid monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/92d767e5-c9d0-464b-9f12-184eca365e5b/ORCHID_POLYESTER%2B%2828%2Bof%2B30%29.jpeg Features - Beauty Amulets: Orchid and Her Kajal An amulet is a small object that brings you good luck or protects you from harm; an item of folk magic with power and potency because of the meaning you give to it.

In a nutshell, I was providing a challenge to all the ‘feminist’ cis white men on Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder. How does Kyle gracefully and casually embrace a sex worker, without fetishing their work? The answer is - they can’t! Now of course when dating online, you’re gonna get a whole mixed bag of people (especially If you got desperate like me and widened your radius to the edge of the M25) in hopes of finding one singular hot and cool person. I had heard depressing stories prior to signing up to dating apps from my vanilla friends: About being ghosted weeks into a fairly serious situationship, being fucked and chucked by someone who promised them they’d get a dog together, down to pettier but still awful events, like matching with someone just to be insulted on their looks, or absolutely cringe sexting. So you can assume my expectations were pretty low going in, and just about hit rock bottom afterwards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0739f9c9-b868-454f-a1ae-1f9a727bb651/katy1.png Features - The Madonna-Stripper Complex: Online Dating, A Sex Worker’s Point of View - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f9bbc5ab-42a5-45e7-970d-dc2156b503bf/katy2.png Features - The Madonna-Stripper Complex: Online Dating, A Sex Worker’s Point of View - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jesse-jo-starks-guide-on-navigating-your-creative-process monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e904144-0eab-4979-a151-030d0c079fa9/852A6636-edit1.jpeg Features - Jesse Jo Stark’s Guide to Navigating Your Creative Process No other industry has been impacted by side hustle culture more than the creative industry. Most creatives are multi-hyphenates, partially because of different outlets having different self-expression benefits, but mainly because the gig economy demands we become career chameleons - and it can be exhausting having to direct these different parts of yourself in creatively meaningful ways. Jesse Jo Stark understands these difficulties better than anyone. 2020 not only saw her releasing the songs ‘Tangerine’ and ‘Die Young’, but also expanding her merchandise brand, Deadly Doll (named after one of her earlier songs). Working on these different projects has taught her the complexities of artistic fluidity and how to nurture creative channels so that practices stay fulfilling and authentic. As her new merch line for Deadly Doll drops and she prepares for her next venture, here’s Stark’s advice on navigating your creative process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dc7a61e9-e4b6-4937-ae10-d2f0291ea91c/852A6521-edit1%2B%281%29.jpeg Features - Jesse Jo Stark’s Guide to Navigating Your Creative Process - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e23b9392-c3d7-43c1-b4e1-e194f92d7767/852A6731-edit1.jpeg Features - Jesse Jo Stark’s Guide to Navigating Your Creative Process - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6d9cc3ef-05a3-42ea-b696-6fe3acc7331e/852A6671-edit1.jpeg Features - Jesse Jo Stark’s Guide to Navigating Your Creative Process - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/melissa-broder-wants-us-to-suffer-together monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c282bf7d-3238-45cc-bcb6-b263111bef0c/melissa%2Bbroder%2Bcover%2Bcopy.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together Content Warning: Discussion of Eating Disorders There was once a time when you and I had no anxiety. We were carefree. Melissa Broder understands this too; the epigraph to her new novel Milk Fed is a quote from the philosopher Thomas Hobbes that reads, “My mother gave birth to twins: myself and fear.” When we’re thrust out from the womb into the cold, unforgiving world: welcome, it’s time for a life of existential suffering. But it could be worse. At least we’re all forced to exist in our human bodies suffering together. The themes of Melissa’s work as a poet, essayist and novelist cover read like a DSM entry for the affliction that is modern life: alongside fear, there is depression, the void, internet addiction, spirituality, lust and unrequited love. Her Twitter account So Sad Today made mental illness and general malaise into a 180-characters art-form. Her debut novel The Pisces was about a woman who falls in lust with a merman. Her second Milk Fed, is a novel set in LA about Rachel, an anorexic Jewish woman in her twenties who lusts after a larger Orthodox Jewish woman, Miriam. Miriam introduces Rachel to the joys of frozen yoghurt with toppings – a lot of toppings – while for Miriam, Rachel represents living freer in another way, unconcerned by heteronormativity. It’s a sensuous and tender story about searching for meaning, relinquishing control from the matriarch and eating both pussy and food well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cfe23a37-d54b-4bf7-b6ec-508c7399fb00/10.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/177a630c-4067-457b-bdd1-b97b5cfd354f/3.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b03d76a-c661-40d3-aef4-3ec046c6f660/7.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b8ac7e4-5ffa-4b21-96e4-f516cd94904a/13.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/764bccac-0fee-4efc-b374-fdd5936b7423/5.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e5b9e0d-ec39-4d17-9ec0-66619cb7feef/4.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cbebfa07-a445-4c8d-9ce8-decd031e3b98/badfood.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a89c720b-f1d4-411b-83c6-452ca9ca6aae/good.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ccdb2de5-074e-46dd-939d-7d8ebaa4b034/11.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2b7d6ad3-58e0-489e-b2d4-fa4913f491ae/2.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1ca18a0-c486-45e5-a332-a5827ebc5347/6.jpeg Features - Melissa Broder Wants Us To Suffer Together - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/platonic-love-girls-by-boys-in-lockdown monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b4b80bf8-43b6-4afb-ac5f-8259275d09b5/Vivek%2BVadoliya%2B1.jpeg Features - Platonic Love - Girls by Boys in Lockdown For her first piece as Polyester’s beauty editor, Grace Ellington commissioned four men to collaborate with their female lockdown platonic partners on a beauty shoot.

The conversation takes them on a journey through Belgian parks, French cinema, Commedia dell’arte, and into the ineffable world of lucid dreams. The moment Sold Out and I first meet, a warm wave of familiarity washes over me. I am sipping tea in my living room while she is sitting in her studio, tucked away in the French countryside. I can see one of her watercolour illustrations on the wall behind her, and I can’t take my eyes off it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/52e9800c-abdc-4bd5-a440-2138b8c48fee/Capture%2Bd%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%2B2022-12-02%2B%C3%A0%2B18.58.43.png Features - Lady Sold Out: She Who Dreams Wins - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/acb96093-0024-4f47-b626-af15320c4d49/V+1.jpg Features - Lady Sold Out: She Who Dreams Wins - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/why-social-media-should-pay-creatives monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fa64aadb-1d4e-4e08-9bfb-d587f50cfed5/social%2Bmedia%2Bshould%2Bpay%2Bcreatives%2B1%2Bolasadownik.jpeg Features - Why Social Media Should Pay Creatives For someone who researches social media and whose professional life as a photographer and writer relies on a social media presence of some sort, I have a very strange addiction. I am completely addicted to reading books and watching documentaries that decry social media and call for us to delete our accounts and live in an off-grid way like our parents did. After each book be it Digital Minimalism, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism or How to do Nothing Resisting the Attention Economy, I decide that I’m going to quit social media, that I’m going to live in a walden-esque utopia free from digital distraction. But I never quite manage it, after a day or two the desire for a cheeky scroll overwhelms me and I’m back on Instagram like a patient on a drip. Atop my pile of failed social media retreats, I began to wonder why this wasn’t working for me. Why I simply cannot go cold turkey from social media? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1f6559b5-7b83-446e-a6d3-1e352651a7b7/social%2Bmedia%2Bshould%2Bpay%2Bcreatives%2B3%2Bolasadownik.jpeg Features - Why Social Media Should Pay Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bfe11f99-acae-4893-a00f-993fa515d51a/social%2Bmedia%2Bshould%2Bpay%2Bcreatives%2B2%2Bolasadownik.jpeg Features - Why Social Media Should Pay Creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/new-media-and-lazy-writing-speaking-with-critic-lauren-oyler-about-her-debut-novel monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/45cc078b-2704-4cbb-88a2-b34d1e243862/polyester1final.jpeg Features - New Media and Lazy Writing, Speaking with Critic Lauren Oyler about her Debut Novel No one really believes that criticism is as worthy of being called “art” as the art in discussion. When big time art critic Jerry Saltz said as much and more on Twitter the other day, he was firmly ratioed. But criticism, at its best, can do a lot. It can elegantly inform, deeply analyse, put words to a formless suspicion you had while watching/reading/listening. Critic Lauren Oyler has brought some spice to the culture criticism world over the last few years by writing plainly about over-hyped or popular work. It’s proved to be an attention-grabbing approach: I am yet to meet a creative person who doesn’t enjoy morbidly deconstructing or griping and moaning about work that made someone rich, work that disappointed or missed a trick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d966a269-8c22-4ef0-bf30-662317bad3a6/polyester3final.jpeg Features - New Media and Lazy Writing, Speaking with Critic Lauren Oyler about her Debut Novel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1255cdc0-2551-43f9-a694-58ddf8ef2046/polyester2final.jpeg Features - New Media and Lazy Writing, Speaking with Critic Lauren Oyler about her Debut Novel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/valentines-day-self-love-spell-candle monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0cb6c585-6cb8-4c53-84b0-3d111897d2b2/self%2Blove%2B1.png Features - How to Make a Valentine's Day Self-Love Spell Candle Whether you’re spending Valentine’s with your SO, alone, or with friends, there is always room for self-love. I’m going to go through how I make my favorite self-love spell candle, which can be used by itself or incorporated into wider rituals. Candles are ideal for spells like this because as you light the wick, there is an idea of the energy you created being drawn out into the world. The flame is a constant moving thing, representing life and an ever-growing intent. As you light this candle, imagine igniting all the intention and desire you put into it.

LGBTQ+ teens had yet to take a strong leap into mainstream TV and media, so they had to make do with the queer-coded subtexts of Robbie Williams’ videos and Sailor Moon (Uranus and Neptune, girlfriends or cousins?). Or maybe that was just me. We had no Love Simon gentle-romance stories, no Miseducation Of Cameron Post or Alex Strangelove, just the occasional fleeting glimpse of a gay corpse on Crime Scene Investigation, or, slightly better, a suspicious sex worker accused of murder on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (hey, at least they had lines.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4188483d-83db-4f4b-bda8-bebe4d1326fd/angels.jpeg Features - Culture Slut - Show Me Love: 19 Years of t.A.T.u. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/link-in-bio-how-problematic-pandemic-trends-are-bad-for-sex-worker-business monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c09f80b2-a853-4a1e-ab7c-02447e6fde0d/2_polyester_caroaltavilla.png Features - Link in Bio:&nbsp;How Problematic Pandemic Trends are Bad for Sex Worker Business Considering the post-apocalyptic shit show we are undergoing at current, I’m sure many of your personal lives are in total disarray due to Miss Rona. Some of you may have lost your job, or partner, or maybe like me you’ve lost your entire fucking mind. Perhaps to make up for the lack of cash flow in your life, you decided to shift an erratic array of clothing from the remnants of your wardrobe, or maybe you put your hat of bravery on and decide to dip your toes in to the world of sex work by creating an Only Fans account. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last year: Only Fans is a platform for creators to paywall content of their choosing. This could be anything, from stand-up comedy, to makeup tutorials, but the site is renowned for its pornographic content. It’s selling point being that anyone could start up an account, and you are able to have regular contact with the creators - think Patreon, with added smut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8fbd21ba-1299-4320-863e-9cd86926a0fd/1_polyester_caroaltavilla.png Features - Link in Bio:&nbsp;How Problematic Pandemic Trends are Bad for Sex Worker Business - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5e6c9ed8-2579-400a-b624-3c019461c7a7/3_polyester_caroaltavilla.png Features - Link in Bio:&nbsp;How Problematic Pandemic Trends are Bad for Sex Worker Business - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5d19c6b7-1239-4a31-baff-1ccf448a108c/4_polyester_caroaltavilla.png Features - Link in Bio:&nbsp;How Problematic Pandemic Trends are Bad for Sex Worker Business - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e85ac892-559a-4e0c-9248-050618870a93/5_polyester_caroaltavilla.png Features - Link in Bio:&nbsp;How Problematic Pandemic Trends are Bad for Sex Worker Business - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/color-tv-queen-beds-exotik-dreams monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c48aac66-96ce-4d0f-9242-86b8568a7d15/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams12.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage My work Color TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is about facing our own cultural heritage—through the world of Hungarian motels built during the regime change— and my personal self-definition. Around 1989, the Hungarian nation experienced enormous political, economic and social change and, as a result, the whole nation experienced being in an in-between space, a liminal space: they had to grow up to handle problems never lived through before their generation. People experienced euphoria and excitement alongside fear and anxiety at the same time, as they did not know what the future might hold. Their escapism materialized as exotic dreams about Western trends, wealth, life and opportunities they might encounter. These special motels that I photographed genuinely preserve the atmosphere of the transformation from socialism into a democratic states’ unique era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476710803-A7GP39U3HEQJ1HVMAO55/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams1.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476710890-ZHNW76QJQ50DXE0P1SH8/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams19.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476711959-T0UJYBLG9Y02P9C9RWLD/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams22.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476712137-J49QV2CIT8JODCQCHL63/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams20.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476713028-M42K80YR4OGX9J88OQFU/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams18.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476713278-1YDLQIZUC5KEB6O9PS7H/image-asset.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476714115-ZFK55AA0M5K9D3IQQBKF/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams13.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476714431-YSWMJI9R3UK2TSUDE1XP/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams9.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476715100-6E3B14OSJGXEIA9RUQFZ/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams4.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1676476715548-SNSEIGP2LKNTGXGABMOT/re%CC%81dlinghanna-color%2Btv%2Cqueen%2Bbeds%2Cexotik%2Bdreams3.jpeg Features - Colour TV, Queen Beds, Exotik Dreams is the Editorial Exploring Hungarian Cultural Heritage https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/beloved monthly 0.5 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3d9d68f6-41aa-4cfe-ae5e-7617d787929c/uzi%2Celvira%2Cstage%2Caltar%2C2.jpeg Features - Beloved During winter time I wanted to make a deep dive into my work, "why and where and what am I doing" analyzing and consciously putting intention into the new year. Interested in finding patterns and understanding one's own purpose with creating. Reading and reflecting, connecting with the notion of other people only being the reflection of yourself; shuffling what you're sending out, back into a somewhat more logic order to comprehend.

Of all the transformative experiences that made up my year abroad in Spain, being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) during the strict coronavirus lockdown was by far the most surreal. My mood became unpredictable; I'd snap at the smallest inconvenience. There were days where my depression got the better of me and I barely had the energy to brush my teeth. Painful patches of acne broke out over my face and back, and my lower stomach felt bloated and cramped. And if that wasn't bad enough, my period had gone AWOL. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06f443b9-a3fa-40fa-883d-bc5f956a03f2/simpsons%2Bsirens.jpeg Features - Demystifying PCOS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-artists-giving-us-hope-for-the-future monthly 0.5 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a9f929de-b88f-4cd7-b1ae-3bd4f44b0683/clarice%2Btudor%2Bcover.jpeg Features - The Artists Giving Us Hope For The Future For many of us, I think it’s fair to say we assumed we would wake up on 1st January 2021 and - like a carriage turned into a pumpkin at midnight - the world would be magically back to normal. If anything, things have been steadily declining as this year has started. And while it may seem hard to hold on to hope as we approach the year anniversary for this pandemic, we decided to shine a spotlight on the artists giving Polyester inspiration to keep going. From photographers to 3D artists, from illustrators to activists, the following creatives have collaborated with us on producing imagery that represents their take on the new year. Shared below alongside paragraphs on what 2021 means for themselves and their practices, we’re proud to present Polyester’s picks for inspirational artists that give us hope for the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6a28c4fe-eed5-42a7-bcd5-b0dac278ab54/mexakitchencover.jpeg Features - The Artists Giving Us Hope For The Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dad46cfd-f0fa-4c4e-9cdd-404d067ab87c/glamhag%2Bcover2.jpeg Features - The Artists Giving Us Hope For The Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b02d53ec-c772-4da5-a54c-e19287f4ef13/iscreamcolourcoverfin.jpeg Features - The Artists Giving Us Hope For The Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ae8383cd-da24-4b63-aa96-5e3f59f7b591/radam%2Bpolyester%2Bzine%2Bcover.jpeg Features - The Artists Giving Us Hope For The Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0182e86f-6677-4cc3-afd1-ca0aa4bd8991/sasha1cover.jpeg Features - The Artists Giving Us Hope For The Future - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/new-year-spell-guide monthly 0.5 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a05e3343-70f8-4a21-a442-e3addd899241/newyear1.png Features - New Year Spell Guide The new year is always a time for reflection and change, so here are 3 ways to banish the bad in your life and bring in the good using some witchcraft… If you don’t have the specific herbs mentioned below, see what you already have in your kitchen and do some research on what they correspond with.

Born out of second-wave feminism and its fury towards the patriarchy, rape-revenge films seek to remedy the notion that victims of rape must stay silent. However, despite commonly featuring female protagonists, few of these films can actually be considered feminist since many perpetuate victim-blaming, implicitly glorify male violence and favour graphic brutality over any psychological exploration of the consequences of trauma. This is the direct result of male direction and women being denied the ability to tell their own stories from their perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a63b4c53-4602-4e4f-883c-9d5baf55895a/Polyester-Cat-teal.jpeg Features - The Power of Revenge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6b249741-372f-4838-ba39-5f7fbe71db02/Polyester-Snake.jpeg Features - The Power of Revenge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dbdd3873-97e0-437e-841c-e20858efefbd/Polyester%2BBlue%2BFinal.jpeg Features - The Power of Revenge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/each-goddess-a-trust-fund-the-ecstatic-economy-of-miranda-july monthly 0.5 2023-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f29c8d80-a7eb-4d49-8231-5f79991aa000/MIRANDACOVERFINALISED.jpeg Features - Each Goddess A Trust Fund: The Ecstatic Economy of Miranda July When Kajillionaire begins, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. July’s unusual and androgynous heroine, Old Dolio (played by Evan Rachel Wood) feels for the world in a slouchy haze.

Three years on from the movement, the film industry doesn’t feel all that much different for it. Instead of instigating an entire change in the industry’s treatment and representation of women, it feels more like Hollywood sacrificed a few big names to save face, then carried on as if back to normal. Because of this, making it in media as a female identified or non binary person — especially those people of colour, those over a certain weight, disabled people, those with differing sexualities, or an intersection of all of the above — is still just as difficult as ever. For those breaking into the industry, or at least, those without a famous and/or rich relative, assistance, patience, and guidance is needed in order to simply get a foot in the door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/58b359d2-2a87-454e-9689-23ab85347a3c/2.jpeg Features - The Girls in Film Guide to Making Movies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bfa0faf2-aa66-464b-a7fa-f74f487baa7e/3.jpeg Features - The Girls in Film Guide to Making Movies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dfca04cc-dba4-4b75-9354-4b37eb2534cd/4.jpeg Features - The Girls in Film Guide to Making Movies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6d6262c-c334-474e-990d-fba217457f3c/reach+out.jpeg Features - The Girls in Film Guide to Making Movies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/how-to-be-authentic-to-yourself-with-malik-nashad-sharpe-and-chidera-eggerue monthly 0.5 2023-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d1596f40-f0aa-451e-bdba-7f1475803ce3/erode6.jpeg Features - How to Be Authentic to Yourself, with Malik Nashad Sharpe and Chidera Eggerue - Make it stand out Choreographer and creative Malik Nashad Sharpe has utilised lockdown to create MISS ME ERODE, a mini collection of clothing with a pointed non-binary view that looks to take on traditional fashion’s binaries.

The moon was in Taurus, meaning this is the perfect time for grounding and reflection. Some candle magic will be a great way to channel this and set some intention into the universe. The candle will include Sandalwood essential oil, a quartz stone, a moonstone, and some rosemary to enhance grounding and cleansing. Sandalwood is often used for protection and grounding, moonstone promotes calmness and resonates with the full moon’s feminine energy, rosemary protects, and clear quartz helps with clarity and amplifies any spell its used with. With these elements combined, you’re looking at a perfect candle for the full moon and making it yourself will really enhance it to your personal energies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d13c58be-f1f8-427f-9f73-829b98e1dae0/candle+1.png Features - How to Make a Full Moon Spell Candle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/cf3049c5-37fe-42b8-b722-7bdd2444db76/candle2.png Features - How to Make a Full Moon Spell Candle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/548a6668-ebaa-40a0-8da2-74ed192e3919/candle4.png Features - How to Make a Full Moon Spell Candle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee373b4e-ac6e-463a-be4d-5448a9b3f1a2/candle5.png Features - How to Make a Full Moon Spell Candle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7cad0c51-f5cb-4b98-8a60-5a3a235e2419/candle6.png Features - How to Make a Full Moon Spell Candle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/wu-zetian-is-taking-apart-slut-shaming-in-chinese-culture monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b821b0e-5b04-4137-bd4a-9290c95c26f2/19.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out I want to convey my personal views on slut-shaming from the perspective of Chinese classical culture, because Chinese women’s clothing culture has always been more conservative than western. Society is progressing, but backward concepts still exist. Many girls and women are afraid of wearing the clothes they like because of those criticisms. Wu Zetian was the only female emperor in Chinese history: It's very legendary how she broke through all kinds of obstacles to realize her dream from rock bottom. However, in order to prevent women from competing for power, later historians attacked her and called her slut and evil to warn other women. The character in my editorial is representative of Wu Zetian as well as women in modern society. I put traditional costume elements together with feminine elements to create an anti-traditional “slut” image, She is strong and powerful and she wears whatever she wants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28ce7e86-bef8-42b9-9528-47b7889eed45/1.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/fdaed9a7-938b-489c-a143-f4a3ab1da192/16.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/576ca608-dbdb-4082-a180-817a3c30ed10/18.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3ea58c17-a424-4dff-ab8f-f2ec07929042/3.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f7ad9468-65d2-471e-8766-4fa66cc0241f/21.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b7fe8bc3-81e8-42c3-8bfe-fe996392cc7f/10.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/614884c3-d855-4e8c-802a-df92230ece9f/9.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/661d34e6-08ce-437e-ae39-10d4dfb83788/20.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f1bd9143-a380-45de-91d5-76f02a089162/22.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/a0de7cce-6d88-4bc4-adf4-cdbe2de156b0/12_B.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/d7d32798-5dad-4c58-acce-d1a094a7c499/4.jpg Features - Wu Zetian is Taking Apart Slut Shaming in Chinese Culture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jimbos-guide-to-life monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/20e15c22-e696-4f3a-8012-9bd29c6e057a/jimbo+1.jpeg Features - Jimbo’s Guide to Life - Make it stand out Who among us would really choose a wad of cash over being the most liked person in the room? Hear me out: when Aja switched the script on crowning a Miss Congeniality for RuPaul’s Drag Race by declaring it instead as a “fan favourite” award in the cast reunion episode of series nine, the role of winning Drag Race changed forever. As much as we would all like to take home the crown, the one hundred thousand dollars, and a place in the Drag Race hall of fame, the lasting infamousy of being the show’s standout will do more not just for an alumni’s career, but assumedly their self worth too. Enter JIMBO, the charismatic clown who stole the entire show for season one of Canada’s Drag Race, the spin off of the American series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5813b57f-feb3-457c-b72f-d021803b1098/jimbo+2.jpeg Features - Jimbo’s Guide to Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b215a166-f9f6-4626-92d4-09aeee1b5254/jimo+3.png Features - Jimbo’s Guide to Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4575feaa-036c-47d5-b79e-a23d841f6aa7/jimbo+4.jpeg Features - Jimbo’s Guide to Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/travis-alabanza-puts-trans-femininity-centre-stage monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9759d432-4e34-40ed-8105-89d42e53267c/travis.jpeg Features - Travis Alabanza Puts Trans-Femininity Centre Stage - Make it stand out Theatres, in many ways, have always represented the upper-echelons of society. I have a few memories of visiting them; pantomimes at Christmas time, or grabbing a pair of cut-price tickets to a musical on the West End during an afternoon off — but for many people, seeing themselves on stage in such a prestigious setting is one of only fantasy. Travis Alabanza is here to change that. The artist, writer, and performer uses the stage as a space to open up the world of theatre to conversations around gender; with Travis climbing the ranks of underground venues to a sell-out stint of their solo show, Burgerz, culminating in back to back performances at London’s Southbank Centre. Burgerz both placed the reality of transphobic violence straight in the faces of those who can afford to ignore it; the ranks of middle class, cis theatre goers and critics, whilst also providing a huge moment for those who most needed it — queer, trans, and gender non-conforming people who have have never seen their experiences so candidly represented in such a prestigious setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/06f4d2ce-3904-43ed-abb2-47c81a02c7d7/travis+2.jpeg Features - Travis Alabanza Puts Trans-Femininity Centre Stage - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4350fae8-ca23-4c4d-8125-1455414973c0/travis+3.jpeg Features - Travis Alabanza Puts Trans-Femininity Centre Stage - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lua monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1bac1ec2-bb06-4a2c-9f08-d4ae43671de4/beans.jpeg Features - Lua - Make it stand out CW: eating disorders, mental health, body image, self-harm You’re lying in bed listening to ‘Lua’ by Bright Eyes but you're not skinny, or even standing in a doorway.

What does worry me is the ease at which we blame our issues with social media— especially Instagram — on this omnipresent algorithm, and whether this prevents us from getting to the root of the problem. As defined by Jamie Bartlett in his book The People Vs Tech, algorithms are simply a ‘mathematical technique, a set of instructions that a computer follows to execute a command which filter, predict, correlate, target and learn’.

First thrown into the spotlight in 2014 when they released their self-titled EP, Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad were just teenagers. Now six years in, their music is beloved by fans all over the world. Their 2014 song ‘Slutmouth’ became something of an underground feminist anthem, and they have since continued to write music that hits with an all-too-relatable combination of vulnerability and anger. Listening through Girlpool’s back catalogue, each of their three albums reads like a time capsule of very specific anxieties, pleasures and pains relevant to that period of the band’s life. First releasing music when they were in their late teens, Harmony and Avery have written songs together for the whole existence of Girlpool. Consequently, their music tracks their movement from adolescence into reluctant adulthood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/164f7838-59bc-40da-bfdd-97924a7868dd/girlpool+2.png Features - Growing Up as Girlpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/54f42540-261b-4219-b104-ddedb9e849fa/girlpool+3.jpeg Features - Growing Up as Girlpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7bb85749-6fba-4a1d-b9fe-86889af6dcda/girlpool+4.jpeg Features - Growing Up as Girlpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0e600bad-7fe8-4a67-9426-051626a2a6e6/girlpool+5.jpeg Features - Growing Up as Girlpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f5159d57-04c7-47b3-a501-4d048ef17c6d/girlpool+6.jpeg Features - Growing Up as Girlpool - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lily-bloom-in-last-of-the-summer-whine monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/77068999-4cd1-4760-8806-35bda339e67d/lily.jpeg Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out I’m a transformative artist and content creator. Using myself as the subject, I draw my references broadly from classic horror to fetish. I produce my images from start to finish, with each having its own unique narrative. In this series, I wanted to take the piss out of my silliest insecurities. I can spend a whole day with my judgement clouded by the thought of what I might look like or did look like a month ago. I needed to make something loveable with all that hateful energy. Confronting the solitary nature of my work was also important to me with this series. I questioned the relationship I have with my images and let friends in on the process. Knowing I can ask friends for help and still have the images feel like my own has truly expanded how I view my work. I used to drink Diet Coke and ever since I made the irreversible leap to full fat, I’ve worried for my oral health. That fuzzy feeling of your enamel eroding is part of Coke’s thrill, right? I haven’t had a cavity yet but I can hear the tooth fairies wings fluttering behind me every time I crack open a can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/c9e997b7-b048-4015-bb36-ac81ed2b3429/lily+2.png Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e1b065fd-1086-46ae-88f2-843e5e00191b/lily+3.jpeg Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/140c9b3f-ee22-4b44-a863-281e0d0fdcee/lily+4.png Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/321cc93c-377b-40a9-a436-f78a729c1ab0/lily+5.jpeg Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3cbb2917-1086-444b-8edc-eff389384140/lily+6.png Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2f44b639-b904-47e4-8b36-8324f03052fc/lily+7.jpeg Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f0fbae6a-f559-43b8-bcba-b9d5adffd632/lily+8.jpeg Features - Lily Bloom in Last of the Summer Whine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/coming-out-of-their-grave-amp-aleias-snails-are-doing-just-fine monthly 0.5 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4b30c304-b8ae-4592-bc97-b2f1f498d823/snail.jpeg Features - Coming Out Of Their Grave... &amp; Aleia's Snails Are Doing Just Fine - Make it stand out Snails as artistic muses don’t necessarily scream romance — but in Aleia Murawski’s hands, snails, frogs and guinea pigs all become the great romantic leads you never knew you needed. Together with artist Samuel Copeland, she transforms her slimy subjects into hunky coastguards, Vegas gamblers, or mourners gathering around a hearse. Having created work for SSENSE, Apple and Nike, both Murawski’s personal and commercial work combine her singular vision with genuine heart. Using miniatures that she finds on walks around her hometown of Chicago, Murawski creates luscious miniature sets that luxuriate in bright colours and soft lighting. Hers is a world where anything can happen: where houses fly, snails get married and macaroni cheese makes for a relaxing bath. These vignettes are surprisingly human, strikingly tender. In her Instagram captions Murawski is very open about how she and Copeland create the special effects that they use, but the magic extends beyond fake blood and green screens. By replacing humans with snails and other creepy crawlies, Murawski forces us to pause and consider her portraits with new eyes, and a refreshed sense of empathy for ourselves and those around us. For our special Valentine’s day issue, Aleia created an exclusive photo series for us featuring her gorgeous snails. She chatted to us below about how she sets up her shots, why death and loss is an integral part of love, and what we can learn from her snail scenes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/787d0e91-7ab0-4dd1-bade-225bc7378a17/snail+2.jpeg Features - Coming Out Of Their Grave... &amp; Aleia's Snails Are Doing Just Fine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6d09377-ae71-42c0-9632-38db327eb3be/snail+3.jpeg Features - Coming Out Of Their Grave... &amp; Aleia's Snails Are Doing Just Fine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/tavis-book-club monthly 0.5 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/098a90a8-3083-4b6c-9fd0-6301477c4057/tavi.jpeg Features - Tavi’s Book Club - Make it stand out The one and only Tavi Gevinson, past editor of Rookie, a writer and actress, has given us some of her top book recommendations to keep you going through this lockdown. Ever since, I dunno, day ten of self-isolation, I haven’t started reading any well-written book without immediately thinking fuck you and bitterly folding it shut. It just doesn’t feel like the time for stunning prose. Not because I’m against distractions--I love distractions--but because it asks too much of my brain. I now have sudden swaths of alleged free time, but I’m learning that I tire easily after a day of working from home, feeding myself, reading the news, checking in on friends, thinking hard about showering, and receiving a dozen misinformed texts that are all like, “Hey. My cousin’s friend’s newborn works at the Pentagon and said that Governor Cuomo is about to do a lockdown on all shipments of the one organic deodorant you found that actually works. Stock up.

Women fascinate me, and I am totally in awe of them: their emotional capacity, their strength and how their bodies can adapt and change. I think where my photography has taken me is also massively to do with the fact that my own mother died when I was twenty one. Vivienne Morgan Chandler was her name – an actress, model and analogue photographer herself. I still use her old 35mm camera. She was the absolute light of my life; we were so close and I really leaned on her, for everything. Because of the lack of physical presence from my own mother, I feel on a subconscious level that this is why I have decided to photograph mothers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/11b32d28-60e5-4b7e-8544-9c95767a535b/charlotte+2.jpeg Features - Mother’s Day: Oonagh Bush and Charlotte Patmore’s Exploration of Mother Daughter Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/db98e428-5092-4456-b8a2-b798e3b64a77/charlotte+3.jpeg Features - Mother’s Day: Oonagh Bush and Charlotte Patmore’s Exploration of Mother Daughter Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/66053865-c376-475f-ba5a-d764ca203ec8/charlotte+4.jpeg Features - Mother’s Day: Oonagh Bush and Charlotte Patmore’s Exploration of Mother Daughter Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/lucky-and-laurences-bedroom-editorial monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0bd87164-c2b5-4c46-8a42-130db61a9d9d/lucky.jpeg Features - Lucky and Laurence’s Bedroom Editorial - Make it stand out Laurence: The year is 2011.

Many of us grew up watching The O.C, The Hills and The Simple Life, while reading trashy magazines peddling the ‘lollipop head’ described the starlets of the aforementioned shows. Size 0 was what we were told to all strive for, despite the fact many of these celebrities were clearly unwell. Teen magazines told us what not to wear, what makeup boys hated, and how to enter the world as an acceptable vision of womanhood. In the midst of this, two sisters, Aimee Lou and Emily Wood, were growing up in a sleepy village tucked in the heart of Stockport, Manchester. Spending their days scribbling on each other’s dolls heads, executing pranks, and daydreaming of playing a more positive role in the world they saw largely only through their TV screens and in the pages of publications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/04731f03-0d0b-466c-9c79-03f39a17398b/aimee+and+emily+2.jpeg Features - At Home with Emily and Aimee Lou Wood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/was-i-right-all-along-on-ocd-and-the-pandemic monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7314ada5-5cff-4531-b69d-71f8758e05b1/ocd+1.jpeg Features - Was I Right All Along?

It was difficult, seeing as I’d taken what I’d saved of my various medications from the last 2 months. I was dizzy as I turned the hot tap down, making the water tepid. I wasn’t sure exactly what I’d read in a book before, about how water draws blood from a wound faster than if you were dry. I didn’t remember whether it was hot or cold water. My ill logic led me to find somewhere in the middle. It didn’t matter though, because the razor blades I employed were too blunt to make more than a superficial mark up my wrists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f5bfe0ea-211d-47d8-8db9-7b4528ec19ba/water+2.png Features - On Water, A Self Reflection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/af748b7b-4042-47c0-8c55-c3ec1f3cd6bb/water+3.png Features - On Water, A Self Reflection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-world-according-to-ash-sarkar monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6b978272-aae4-4dbe-ac8b-27c278ce88d7/ash+sarkar.jpeg Features - The World According to Ash Sarkar - Make it stand out It’s 10:00 AM sharp, I’m calling Ash Sarkar and she’s elbow deep in flour and butter. “I’m making, as I speak to you, a lemon tart for my boyfriend’s birthday.” I couldn’t be more obsessed.

Approaching beauty in a grotesque way, drawing from both grandeur and bleakness of the tsarist Russia, is ironic and relevant.

We aimed to parallel the medieval turmoil with the current decay and stagnation and injustice of Russia under Putin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/6bd5eefa-3988-4805-a8c1-dab954103053/cholera+2.jpeg Features - Beauty in the Time of Cholera Examines at Beauty Standards in Russia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c8f1927-6ac4-4156-a226-e7e242a06f42/cholera+3.png Features - Beauty in the Time of Cholera Examines at Beauty Standards in Russia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/bb0f2663-995e-4d9b-964f-44911a744f95/cholera+4.jpeg Features - Beauty in the Time of Cholera Examines at Beauty Standards in Russia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/16445ef4-bffc-4d95-8894-0d5843b8bf0f/cholera+5.png Features - Beauty in the Time of Cholera Examines at Beauty Standards in Russia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/85c89f92-b2e3-4546-ba8c-cb7280a8b834/cholera+6.jpeg Features - Beauty in the Time of Cholera Examines at Beauty Standards in Russia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/eb97a7c8-e100-4f4f-80bb-974e95d06a1e/cholera+7.jpeg Features - Beauty in the Time of Cholera Examines at Beauty Standards in Russia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/the-wrath-of-the-retweet-and-how-hashtags-can-be-reductive-to-activism monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f6a3b507-96ac-4eaf-b53c-1ceeacf182f5/hands.jpeg Features - The Wrath of the Retweet and How Hashtags Can Be Reductive to Activism - Make it stand out OK, OK, OK ! I can hear you objecting that hashtag movements can be important, so yes, this clicktivism intervention does indeed come with a caveat. Viral activism can have its uses by mobilising outrage and making resistance both visible and accessible for a number of worthwhile causes. #MuteRKelly is a movement that emerged in late 2017 amidst mounting sexual-abuse accusations against disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly. It provided a course of action for thousands of people who didn’t consider themselves activists but simply wanted vigilante justice to prevail where law enforcement had not. The hashtag offered an objective to what had previously been stifled outrage and subdued whispers in an entertainment industry that had never quite managed to convincingly ‘cancel’ the singer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/aa218477-2544-4c10-b758-d3ab0fb6f0b5/phone.jpeg Features - The Wrath of the Retweet and How Hashtags Can Be Reductive to Activism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/dd612be5-ab93-4113-9c3c-0601b51e56d7/coin.jpeg Features - The Wrath of the Retweet and How Hashtags Can Be Reductive to Activism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/cookiee-kawaii-sugar-spice-and-all-things-nice monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/18dc5fa0-78f8-48c4-b6e3-044b38b8fab2/cookie.jpeg Features - Cookiee Kawaii - Sugar, Spice and All Things Nice - Make it stand out If you were to tell our 2019 selves that the next big sound of the summer would involve a viral TikTok dance, to a song about shaking your ass, layered over a beat manufactured from a squeaky bed frame, whilst being stuck at home during a pandemic; I’d tell you to back it up.

The latter is a self-taught photographer and creative director with a singular creative vision, unafraid of pursuing it to the very end, whatever the cost. Melanie creates all of Gia’s visuals, and the couple are a lesson in teamwork making the dream work: Gia recently terminated her contract with her old record label Dirty Hit due to the label’s treatment of Melanie as a woman of colour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b168842e-d649-40f6-bcca-1ae1894097dd/mel+and+gia+1.png Features - When 2 Become 1: Gia Ford and Melanie Lehmann In Conversation - Make it stand out Melanie wears Earrings - Sandy T.H.

I spent some time in South Africa as well, doing some decolonial work out there. Essentially, spirituality is something that’s important to the Free Black University, and I started exploring pre-colonial African roots to spiritual and ancestral connection. In the West, there’s that separation between rationality and religion, but prior to colonisation, that split didn’t exist. That means that the way that people thought and produced knowledge would have been entwined with a spiritual understanding of the world. As I got deeper into that spirituality, the Free Black University was a message that I was given, and it’s what I’m bringing into fruition with the guide of pre-colonial orishas and ancestors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ac768e70-d205-4afd-ab35-fa11e8a1712c/TFBU+1.jpeg Features - The Free Black University is Focusing on Healing Through Education - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9d1c72f1-6ff8-45ae-b74a-a6598bc97215/TFBU+2.jpeg Features - The Free Black University is Focusing on Healing Through Education - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/vestiges-20-is-exploring-what-utopia-looks-like-for-people-of-colour monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/16182231-3f7d-42c0-8034-4baae094af22/vestige+1.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Vestiges 2.0 is a series diving into manufactured utopias, building itself on the language of mainstream fantasy and sci fi media (spaces that PoC are largely absent from or exist in a fetishised and tokenised state) and subverting it. The fantastical and otherworldly narratives in the media’s collective psyche often fails to centre stories around multi-faceted PoC characters. Vestiges 2.0 is a series creating a new utopia with a South Asian protagonist, set amidst manicured, hyperreal kitsch landscapes. The central figure exists in limbo, suspended in time and undergoing stages of metamorphosis. She is a pensive contemporary avatar of Durga, a pixie elf, a mermaid, a bored Barbarella, questioning and dismantling the tropes that populate these troubled landscapes - often the male gaze, fetishisation, whitewashing and cultural appropriation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ee1a3a24-8be6-44b5-93e1-c97566942f88/vestiger+2.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9fdaefc3-35e9-49c0-abf5-77b08b16e01a/vestige+3.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2640610e-f62d-445e-8723-c211c61e4619/vestige+4.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e723780-8d12-4240-b0e9-995b1250d6ea/vestige+5.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5925b380-79b2-43d2-83ee-ac4ff935f957/vestige+6.png Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/56d378da-2e50-4faf-b433-8bd122d276cd/vestige+7.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/2c46597b-4edf-4a5a-a254-b3a8fefb525a/vestige+8.jpeg Features - Vestiges 2.0 is Exploring What Utopia Looks Like for People of Colour - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/from-inspo-to-activism-how-infographics-changed-instagram monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8c078097-2694-4150-8284-75b8f32b56e1/sophie+1.jpeg Features - From Inspo to Activism: How Infographics Changed Instagram - Make it stand out One morning less than six months ago, Sophie Williams woke up to thousands of new Instagram followers.

Suddenly media outlets were expressing a renewed interest in publishing and promoting “new diverse perspectives”, as a way of remedying the racism they were being forced to contend with. And there I was, conveniently falling under the crudely defined “new diverse” ambit as an unpublished “brown” “woman” — who, as it would happen, had desperately been craving publication and promotion. The thing is, I’m sceptical of diversity as practiced by historically un-diverse institutions. I get the idea behind it: that, in theory, if you’re not white, male and middle class, you’re potentially locked out of some system or network that’s important to penetrate in order to achieve as much as your average white, male, middle-class person. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/check-yourself-is-the-comic-asking-you-to-explore-your-own-toxicity monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3c806086-ec12-478e-b033-6b0091d2fef8/deeana.png Features - Check Yourself is the Comic Asking You to Explore Your Own Toxicity - Make it stand out Deeana is a freelance comic artist who produced Check Yourself for the Polyester Newsletter, looking at how toxicity in your life isn’t always necessarily coming from the people around you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7e86d072-4500-4973-b61f-8c591313280c/check+1.png Features - Check Yourself is the Comic Asking You to Explore Your Own Toxicity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/42e63e15-056c-48a3-b19b-cfa443f517eb/check+2.png Features - Check Yourself is the Comic Asking You to Explore Your Own Toxicity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/juno-birch-phones-home monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/e806edff-16e2-4324-b346-136acf3209a4/IMG_0238.jpg Features - Juno Birch Phones Home - Make it stand out In the basement of a rock bar in rainy Manchester, the Creatures of Catharsis queer cabaret night used to run every few months.

In the time since, Birch has appeared on the stage across the world - including LA, her own Birch Brunch in London and many a basement across her hometown of Manchester. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/463766b1-bb88-4652-926c-bd60f96ce825/IMG_9888.jpg Features - Juno Birch Phones Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/81907e97-4dde-43a7-86f5-042cdf5c851b/IMG_0069.jpg Features - Juno Birch Phones Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/57596dd1-1736-41a5-8208-3620cd18e0d5/22.jpg Features - Juno Birch Phones Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/7808ae67-a837-4f93-9ff2-aca00ecf259a/IMG_0137.jpg Features - Juno Birch Phones Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/nasty-is-the-editorial-exploring-east-asian-masculinity monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/4d359abe-f793-4956-b56f-7f914f7efb24/nasty.jpeg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out In this editorial, photographer Weishan Hu turns her lens towards the sensual and flamboyant side of East Asian masculinity, one that disrupts the hegemonic notions of masculinity as well as the accepted but stereotypical impression of Chinese men. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/9dacd891-5f88-4ce6-ad58-f0d030351015/1.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/1174d27a-16ef-4853-9caf-68c35d8ff742/IMG_6692%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/5cb34dbe-6049-4feb-a67d-67e53650bf6d/6O2A1860+2.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/48079d45-1596-4573-84e5-91b2cfc7ed5c/2.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/21bafd1e-80b5-4d74-96fa-4638cee15722/butt+closeuo.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0523919c-b2f7-4b9c-bf78-83c65cb308e9/IMG_6646.JPG Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/71dca5ab-a348-4260-97f6-ec370d0321b5/3.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0af895be-80a7-46e8-a497-815ba91d1509/03030010%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC+blue%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC.jpg Features - Nasty is the Editorial Exploring East Asian Masculinity - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/these-collages-are-making-a-statement-on-body-autonomy monthly 0.5 2023-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/3b12ceb8-c9c3-4dec-8bda-9b779d9df850/collage+1.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy Hi, my name is Z Benedict. I’m an artist from Los Angeles California that makes mixed media analogue collage from vintage Playboy magazines. Each image is taken directly from a magazine, hand cut, and then collaged onto a vintage or antique item. When people view my artwork, I want the audience to feel empowered and open to question society’s taboo on the nude fem body. I want to continue to challenge people's perceptions of how we view sexuality and the preconceived notions people hold towards erotic artwork. This series of collages on heels symbolizes my belief in the need to decriminalize sex work and fight censorship of the fem body. Utilizing platform heels allows me to take my art into a wearable medium that brings a whole new life to my collages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/304cda3f-2412-4b84-89bf-ce4f9ef081ca/collage+2.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/8b4654e0-10ab-4c84-b7bc-cee3781dc607/collage+3.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f2cbd95f-efcb-4d72-81b3-5e36b6c3c08a/collage+5.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Shoes: Pleaser | Tights: Gucci https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ccd311d9-a4ee-49b7-a569-fa9d118d8a67/collage+4.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/b9af9a66-bf49-40ba-99f9-b13010d529ee/collage+6.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/61866b21-90cb-4749-9d75-80d1fe2234d1/collage+7.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/28421eae-4339-46eb-b64a-35b3d5d7c354/collage+8.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/f708d715-04c4-464c-9835-4ee725bff499/collage+9.jpeg Features - These Collages are Making a Statement on Body Autonomy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/shiny-shiny-shiny-boots-of-faux-leather-how-fetishwear-went-mainstream monthly 0.5 2023-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/32bf0e92-3e45-4a09-b483-e3b56427499f/leather.png Features - Shiny Shiny Shiny Boots of Faux Leather: How Fetishwear Went Mainstream - Make it stand out If you close your eyes and think “fetish” you might have visions of thigh high boots, garter belts, leather harnesses, collars, shiny latex, catsuits, tight corsets, fishnet tights, gloves, form fitting leather pants, and of course black leather. This “look” has been crafted by sex workers and queer fetishists over the course of decades and has become one of the most influential, polarizing, and enduring references in fashion history, one that continues to spark debate about feminism, appropriation, and vulgarity. The classic fetish aesthetic is borne of two moments of cultural zeitgeist; the Victorian era and World War II. Women’s Victorian dress was both deeply steeped in eroticism and deeply afraid of it. Fashionable women’s dress called for high breasts, waists defined by corsets, hips exaggerated by padding and bustles all concealed beneath long high necked dresses and stockings. This required layered structural undergarments including corsets, stockings, and garters all of which have lasted to this day as iconic examples of feminine ‘sexiness’ - even though they are no longer part of the average woman’s daily undergarments. There was and is an alluring illicitness to showing what is under the outer trappings of women’s dress; revealing the complex hidden mechanics of a constructed ideal of femininity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/0c1105dd-a4cd-44ff-b1b5-02248324bedb/fetish+2.png Features - Shiny Shiny Shiny Boots of Faux Leather: How Fetishwear Went Mainstream - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.polyesterzine.com/features/jenn-lehwalds-guide-to-creating-a-guide-for-polyester monthly 0.5 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63beb1552f2a41471a264ee4/ca4d8733-4e9c-4de8-bd22-1e86406d7678/WhatsApp+Image+2026-02-04+at+17.15.30+%286%29.jpeg Features - Jenn Lehwald’s Guide To Creating A Guide For Polyester - Make it stand out Jenn Lehwald is the Social Editor at Polyester.
