About WLBD

As seen on TresSugar!
Before there were blogs, there were zines.
In 1998, I went through a bad break-up. So I wrote, and copied, and stapled and distributed. It was both therapy and way to find my place again in the outside world.
I haven’t looked at the zines in years. And some of it is embarrassing now. Really embarrassing. But, I will be true to my 27-year-old self and let them go, with minor blackouts to protect the identities of those who may not have minded appearing in 50 Xerox copies but would be offended by an appearance on the world wide internets.

All for Poo

The knife’s got my number

Going a little font crazy with the Performa 400.

Eff that, man!

It took a long time to draw all those little squares. I actually remembered this as being dirtier than it is, which just tells me that I drop the f-bomb exponentially more often than I did 10 years ago…

Know your rights!

The lesson here is not to get yourself all bent out of shape about trivial crap. No one was asking me to act so lame, or suggesting it, I acted lame and wasted my life all on my own, because I thought that’s what being a good girlfriend should be.  I never, once, in four [...]
