Getting your grimy, little hands on a copy of Danger! Hole zine

sometime in early June, 2007

I'm pretty damn lenient, and would you like to know why? I had my first serious run-in with a photocopy machine (7 copies of 10 two sided pages) today and I had an epiphany: this is going to be expensive. At least until I can recover from previous drug-usage and reclaim all my brain cells. In other words, I can be a ditz, and I fucked up on quite a few copies. A few rainforests later, I think I mastered the machine, but I learned quickly that money isn't going to be my main objective... not even close. I will make deals as often as my finances will allow, and I am willing to strike deals with individual buyers. Each issue (unless I have multiple collaborators, and the page count goes above 20) should cost around $2. I accept payments by mail for now (PayPal is pissing me off, so I won't have an account for another few days or so I DID, ACTUALLY, MASTER PAYPAL, AND IT'S AWESOME!).

There's nothing wrong with old-fashioned mail though, right? (Lucy Doyle, 8 Warren St, Lincoln Park NJ 07035, U.S.A.)

I also readily accept trades; you can comment me, message me, or e-mail me. All you need to do is contact me, and tell me a few things such as your name (optional, I guess, if you're that creepy), the name of your zine, the premise of your work, and the cost you'd usually charge. Since a lot of the exchanging will be done through postal-mail right now, I'd appreciate whether you're sending money or a zine that you include a stamp for me to write back to you with.

SUMMARY: payments can be made through snail-mail with cash (no credit cards, I will take checks though) + 1 stamp OR a zine + 1 stamp. Easy enough... but if not, feel free to contact me on this site or my e-mail address ((grrrlriots8me at hotmail dot com)) P.s. When sending cash, think logically: always conceal $, keeping it completely invisible. And if you do send a check, never ever ever send one blank. That's silly and dangerous. If you need my whole name, again, just ask!

Pre-Issue, June 2007

Well, kids, I just finished up my 'Dangerhole prologue', if you will. This isn't the first issue-- that I'm still working on. But this is a near must for anyone interested in up-and-coming issues. I explain myself here, give a quick synopsis of riot grrrl, feature a super-secret article (not such a secret anymore, I suppose), question feminism's relevance today, blah blah blah. 20 pg.s long, this pre-issue issue is on sale for $2

Issue 1 -Buysexuality-, July 2007

I'm pretty proud of this issue, it was my first "OFFICIAL" Danger Hole piece, and I've been through so much since I started constructing it. Originally, this was to be the other half of the June 2007 set, but I was recently hospitalized + put 3 weeks behind my original deadlines. I had my fair share of doubts and troubles during the production of this issue, but in the end, I feel completely confident that you will love it. This issue is 18 pgs. long and it's on sale for $2. This issue features a book review, articles on Xtina Aguilera as the new "faceoffeminism", American Apparel, and Guys Gone Wild, as well as a centerfold collage and short story about a potential lesbian affair.

Issue 2-Re-defining Girl-, August 2007

This issue ranks in at 50 pages, hosting multiple contributors (featuring zine queens, DIY business-woman heroines, and lovely grrrls-and boy- from around the world). Originally, Re-Defining Girl was never meant to get past 20 pages, and here we are a month later with more than 2x that! Because of the extra work (and trees) that went into producing this chunky little zine, I had to hike the price up to $3. This issue is worth it though, with a book review of Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: An Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes, an open-ended question on pro-or-con chivalry, 'i am a cliche' test, 'boy, the poster girl' a short fiction, D.I.Why?, some cute, sick little pictures drawn by Ms. Kt, and interview with Nicole Klein of 'The Hourglass', and more that you'll have to get an issue to find out about!

Issue 3-My Body's Image-, September 2007

Sorry for the delay, darlings; strange how 9 months into a year can be considered a "fresh start"...  Well a lot of things are changing around these parts: Issue 3 of Danger! hole, for example has gained a little weight since the last issue, and remains the same price!  This time around we have 66 pages, and still host a fabulous array of contributors.  Some names may look familiar to active zinesters, and there are the new ones as well.  As with Issue 2, because of the extra work + rainforests that went into producing My Body's Image, the price will stay at $3.  The issue features a double-book review of Cunt and The Vagina Monologues, a word search, resource links, 'Girl Dumb' short fiction, articles on pro-ED websites, the Dove Real Beauty campaign, and 'Girl-Lovin Yr body-- without losing yr mind'.  Of course, there are a few secrets to my zine-baby that you'll have to buy her to find out about!

Now when you get yr dirty, little hands on Danger! hole, you get the gift of stickers!  What else could anyone want?
 


Issue 4-When 'No' Means 'Yes'-, October 2007
Remember when I thought 66 pages was chunky?  This time, for our sexual harassment issue, our little baby is growing up + its morbid obesity is something no one is concerned about.  We barely scraped by finishing this issue on time (4 hours before the end of the month, to be exact) but boasting a healthy 84 pages, we aren't complaining! And at $3, you won't be complaining either!  We've got features like how to say "NO" in any language, an article on what YOU need to know about Date Rape Drugs, lyrics from the Dresden Dolls and Ms. Julie Ruin, 'How To: Kick A$$ Like You Mean It', 'Reality Show Rapists-in-Training' on The Pick-Up Artist, a piece from the lovely Ms. Lucy Gruesome, contributions from various kids on their own sexual harassment situations, a few fun games to pass the time, as always: a prose piece, a bit from the editor on Sexist humor, and more more more that you'll need to find out about on your own!

Issue 5-Cross My Legs & Hope To Die pt. 1-, November 2007
At 62 pages, Issue # 5 is certainly more lean than our previous issue; but that's not to say this zine-child isn't dense as hell!  In first grade, your darling Editor Liouxsie (who went by Daffodil Doyle at the time) brought in a fully illustrated parents-to-child guide for 'the Birds n Bees Talk' to my class... and the phone calls home began!  Apparently, my affinity for stirring up a bit of trouble with my comfort relating to sexuality and sexual health hasn't lessened over the years.  This time, perhaps, no one will tell on me?   Issue # 5 features the True and Untrue versions to the 10 steps (for putting on a condom), an article on electro-slut Peaches, a female-friendly sex store, the not-so-friendly catfight between pro-sex and anti-porn feminists, news of one Presidential candidate's controversial sex education in schools plan, several accounts of our contributors' sex ed in schools experiences, information on birth control and the latest rage in preventing girls from accessing birth control, a few interactive pieces, an interview with Sam of CODEWORD: Cereal, and more.  I gave away too much already, and now you've gotta get a peak at this issue!

Issue 6-when the girl rioted-, December 2007-February 2008
Typically, an issue of D!HZ eats up approximately a month to a month and a half of your precious editor's youth.  yet for seam-splitting Issue 6, three times that period was swallowed whole.  And if I do say so myself, the time and work really shows.  At a daunting 122 pages holding just short of 30 pieces, this issue is a mixed package of DIY style cut'n'paste style articles and the girth of a magazine done by someone with... a lotta time on her hands.  A few of the titles hosted include "The Unrequited Tsunami: manifestas through the decades", a colection and critique of the infamous media-on-grrrl critiques AS WELL AS a previously unpublished riot grrrl response, "Dirty Girl Germs" a contributor piece, an interview with and review of Kerri Koch and her documentary "Don't Need You: the Herstory of Riot Grrrl", interview and review of Queer Control records & the bands they are convinced will blow your mind and your speakers, a few withds with JD Glass- the young author of Punk Like Me, articles on groupies, the Spice Girls, punk chicks, a history of women in music, Rolling Stone magazine, and so much more my head's spinning.  This issue, if you aren't sold yet!, comes with the choice of a cossette tape (free of charge) or CD (for an additional $1).  This issue really is a riot of its own.  $4 (US), $5.50 (International).
