ZINE LOVE- DUPE!
In the throes of Olympic fever, I have been a negligent editor and blogger to say the least. Although arguably it is my personal support that led to Team GB's stomping victory (you're welcome guys). BUT Issue #4 is on its way AND there's lots of news.
Back in July 'The Hairy Issue' the debut zine project of art collective Dupe was released. Beautifully printed and curated, it mixes writing, photography and illustration on the theme of 'Hair' with humour and poignancy. Personal highlights include the photography of Jorge Antony Stride (who I used to work with at a bowling alley) and 'A Ginger Childhood' by Benedict Le Gauche (who also has red hair).
Spread by Jorge Antony Stride
Dupe have now rolled this out to become a multi-media platform, including an online TV channel, interviewing voices from across the creative spectrum in a way that is as fun as it is evocative.
Please visit their blog for more information and to buy The Hairy Issue.

ISSUE #4: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: FOOD
"Food Glorious Food.
Hot sausage and mustard
something something custard!"
Issue #3 isn't even cold and we're already flirting with the beginnings of Issue #4 on the theme of "Food": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food
Food and our relationship with it is something that encompasses both the every day and the extreme, phobias and fetishes, determined deprivation or enforced excess. It is something that is influenced by personal taste, images of ourselves we wish to project and a distinct tapestry of cultures and traditions.
From tzatziki to tzimmes, from smorgasbord to stromboli, from best to wurst (I'm so sorry for that one) there's plenty to write about what we stuff in our mouths and up them guts.
Ponytail is happy to accept short stories, poetry, comic strips/ graphic pieces, and non-fiction writing/ personal essays.
The deadline is Monday 16th July.
Please email all work to ponytail[dot]zine[at]gmail[dot]com
Bon Appétit and we look forward to reading your offerings.
Ponytail.

BANANAFISH- a call for volunteers
Ponytail is proud to present.......Bananafish. A monthly spoken word night to take place at the lovely The Vintage Emporium Cafe on Bacon Street (off Brick Lane) More details to follow on specific dates (around the end of May) but for the moment we're looking for readers.
Whether you're a well-seasoned public speaker or have never done it before- why not give it a go at Bananafish. We're looking for fictional tales or true life happenings.
Come along and don't be shy! (I'll be public reading for the first time since school at Bananafish and I essentially still have the voice of an 11 year old.)
Please email ponytail[dot]zine[at]gmail[dot]com for more information.
