Raised by gypsies and a fast talker, Kingsley left home at 19 to study mental health at a university in London. He was the first to go to school in his family. Since then, he has worked in psychiatric wards in Maudsley Hospital and is full of wild tales that go like, “The work was pretty jank and some nutty bird put her baby in the oven and burnt the poor thing crisp, then some other woman put de-icer in her husband’s curry to have a claim up on his life insurance, but instead of killing him, he went blind and deaf, no shit.” Now he travels taking photos of weirdos taking a nap.

ZINE CREAMERS - ZONKED #4
FUN for everyone, apparently
The guys at FEREF “Know FUN sells”. What’s really lucky is that there was a whole brand of FUN that they could just co-opt, therefore saving them the hassle of making their own kind of fun. A FUN magazine reader showed us this yesterday, it’s just another wonderful reason to arm the homeless and send them into Soho. Read more »
ZINE CREAMERS 1994: ABC NO RIO
I’m not sure if you know but ABC is a city-owned estate and we’re renting this space. They’re trying to evict us but we’ve been squatting on the upper floors. It’s not easy being an 18-year-old living in the rotten apple’s Lower East Side. Well, its a paradise to me but also a struggle. Its getting really cold and… I mean, I really don’t have good family but I met these kids on Rivington a while back and share so many of the same passions and we really have each other’s backs. It kinda feels like the T.R. house in Suburbia but not 1984, ’cause it’s 1994. It’s kind of funny–us squatting here has delayed the ousting process but a few of us have been arrested. The government, they don’t understand our growing community. They don’t understand this solidarity. Read more »
Ligerbeat’s Out
Back when our American office interviewed the ladies from Ligerbeat, that magazine dedicated to anything dick, they had no idea what the first issue would look like. They thought the teaser photos circulating indicated simply some inkling of camp, even if it was still thoroughly abased and tasteless. Well, the premiere issue’s out now and wow, we had no idea this kind of low-rent filth could come from the minds of ladies. It’s actually shocking. If our last thing about nutsacks didn’t seriously change your mind about the whole vagina-is-grosser-than-balls debate, this should do it. Only take a peek if you’re old enough to be in a porno.

Zine Morgue - Screw it
The zygote blood of shitty zines aborted before they ever got a chance to breathe the sour air of nerd halitosis is some tasty, tasty stuff. Here’s a gem we got from someone who ran the computer lab in the children’s section of a suburban library. One of his buddies, an eight-year-old jock named Anthony, scribbled down this scorching missive against the three people he hates most in life: some bitch teacher, a coach who’s probably too busy ruffling hair and patting rumps to notice his talent, and an attention-desperate once-famous athlete. It’s amazingly impressive how, in all his rage, he still meticulously follows the stringent set of laws governing the Five Paragraph Essay.
Dos and Dont’s
It’s kind of cool seeing places like Venezuela and Hungary get their own Ugly Betty franchise but someone really needs to step up the QC.

OK, Grandma, get a move on with the fucking groceries already. I’m starving for a fajita over here.
