Hello, meet my friend Cassie Grzymkowski, circa 2003, author of Beating Zombie Hearts #1 and Make Me a Mixtape. shes going to kill me for posting this.
We met at some art summer camp. This was the first day and we had a really awkward all-girls dance party on a roof where no one knew each other. We were most likely listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs, sweating Karen O., or else !!!. You ain't a baby no more baby, you ain't no bigger than before baby...
This page is from Vice's the "Down and Out" issue, and that's what she looked like when Beating Zombie Hearts was made. Cassie was probably wearing that T-shirt sweater skirt the whole time (you can learn how to make it in Make Me a Mixtape zine but my mom threw that out). Shopping at Beacon's I see...
Interesting...
Eat me!
Katy... Kickball Katy... Ultimate BFFs. Check out their band, they're soo deck.
OK, five years later... Here is the most recent zine, still silly crafty Cassie.
Yeah, what gives?
And ends with a calendar that folds out!
I have no clue what state you are in anymore, Cassie, but happy birthday!
MAGGIE LEE
people really use the word "deck"? i thought that was strictly for the hipster handbook.

I love the fake advertisement. And to make it an Above the Influence ad? That's plain genius.

the teen mag is so accurate i'm kind of questioning whether or not it's supposed to be a parody.

lawwwn is a total lame-o. man i remember reading her lj back in the day... only because she was friends with mine. boy someone tried so hard to fit in oooof. same with casssie. total hipster. once she moved to brooklyn she played it too cool even ignored some friends. oh well her band sucks anyways.

the teen zine is pretty much a word for word copy of an existing issue. which makes it even more brilliant.
