Ponytail is bending down on one knee and asking you for submissions to our next issue on the theme of Brief Encounters. Brief Encounters can have long lasting reverberations on how we live our lives or they can merely be a passing moment soon forgotten. They can be emotional, social or cultural exchanges, human interactions or encounters with nature, the paranormal. They can be romantic or otherwise. Maybe you just want to write about how they should have just had sex in the film instead of increasingly fraught cups of tea. Just go for it. </div>
<br />
<br />
This New Yorker podcast of Roy Spivey by Miranda July read by David Sedaris is a good point of departure for the theme both as a narrative catalyst and as a narrative constraint. It's sad and hilarious:<br />

<br />
Ponytail happily accepts short stories, humour pieces, personal essays, poetry and comic strips or pieces.<br />
Please send to all submissions (or any questions you might have) to ponytail.zine[at]gmail.com by<br />

Comin'atcha January 2012. <br />It's the best issue yet in my opinion. <br />In the mean while here's a 'teaser' for you- a photo of our cover star Jean-Paul. My mum kissed Jean-Paul on a school trip to Belgium in 1972, from which she returned with 3 stale baguettes and this passport photo. On the back of the photo she has written Jean-Pol. Belgium 1972. She has always been very organised like that. <br />Jean-Pol came on something of a lover's pilgrimage to Croydon of all places, and declared his love to young Sharon in the doorway of my grandparents' house (he was inexplicably never invited in) and returned dejected and dare we say a little wiser to Belgium.<br />He is occasionally referred to as "the one who turned up on the doorstep who was the spit of Sacha Distel" by my Nana over a sherry or two.Ponytailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03219719614649384113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450146426330577851.post-3148689225456807452011-11-11T12:56:00.001+00:002011-11-11T12:59:28.896+00:00Friday's Inspiration: Gordon and ShelleyLove and The Other. <br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X6Eh7CJamGE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Ponytailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03219719614649384113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450146426330577851.post-14556178364931422582011-11-10T09:41:00.004+00:002011-11-10T09:55:37.873+00:00Thursday's Inspiration: Michel et Patricia<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mfD8pJ2H3AE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br />Today's inspiration comes from the 1960 film A Bout de Souffle (Breathless) by Jean- Luc Goddard. Without giving too much away (besides posting the final scene) the plot can be summarised thus: <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Love! Betrayal! Crime! Cigarettes! Paris!</span><br /><br />Patricia's otherness comes from her foreignness, both in France and the criminal underworld she finds herself involved in. This clip shows how a wall of verbal misunderstanding heightens her otherness, and her communication with Michel is reduced to gesticulation. Maybe you can write about an experience living in another country, the feeling of never being able to express yourself completely in a second language, or if life has taken you that way life in a criminal underworld in which you grass up a French man.<br />Various translations of the ending can be found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathless_%281960_film%29#Closing_dialogue">here</a>.Ponytailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03219719614649384113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450146426330577851.post-50605878920760659492011-11-09T09:46:00.002+00:002011-11-09T10:22:45.714+00:00Wednesday's Inspiration: JD Salinger"Offhand, I can remember three girls in my life who have struck me as having unclassifiably great beauty at first sight. One was a thin girl in a black bathing suit who was having a lot of trouble putting up an orange umbrella at Jones Beach, circa 1936. The second was a girl aboard a Caribbean cruise ship in 1939, who threw her cigarette lighter at a porpoise. And the third was the Chief's girl Mary Hudson" <br /><br />JD Salinger, 'The Laughing Man' from For Esme With Love And Squalor. Which you can (should) buy <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Esm%C3%A9-Love-Squalor-Other-Stories/dp/0140237534/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320834051&sr=8-2">here</a> or if you're in London, <a href="http://www.skoob.com/">here</a>. <br /><br /><br />So Wednesday's idea is the Other as an object of desire. But really, just an opportunity to share two things: a piece of The Laughing Man, my favourite short story and secondly, the wonderful image of a girl throwing a lighter at a porpoise. Not that I condone animal cruelty- eat dolphin- friendly kids.Ponytailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03219719614649384113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450146426330577851.post-14368492074238580042011-11-08T10:08:00.002+00:002011-11-08T10:13:01.260+00:00Tuesday's Inspiration: Miranda July on Strangers at The School of Life.Something to get the think box revved up for Issue #3 (are you writing something? Write something! Do it!). I recently attended a sermon by super-human Miranda July on Strangers at the brilliant School of Life.I was late and sweaty and at the back, so I didn't have a stranger to hold arms with, I held my own arm which felt sad and familiar. The idea of strangers, and the strangeness of interacting with unknown people in a situation like this feeds quite nicely into Issue #3's theme of The Other. <br /><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/31283902?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/31283902">Miranda July on Strangers</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/theschooloflife">The School of Life</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Ponytailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03219719614649384113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450146426330577851.post-80251485197755282302011-11-07T10:59:00.004+00:002011-11-08T10:13:55.699+00:00Monday's Inspiration: Dorothy Parker"To her who had laughed so much, crying was delicious.
