They write about genetics, astronomy, cats, paganism, feminism, losing their keys, boys, bands, fun illegal things, the perils of being a woman and the joys of having the world at your feet. Could this be you? We want to read your wonderful bitchin' words! Find out more...

Oh, and if you see us in the press, let us know. We're curious about these things. mookychick (at) yahoo.co.uk


Mission statement

Mookychick believes that climbing trees and riding giant turtles is more fun and girly than worrying about make-up. But if you want to worry about make-up instead of turtles? Fine by us. Be you feminist, kitten, punk, emo, indie, goth, witch, vegan, horror junky, intellectual, corset queen, geek, unicorn, sea monkey... be you into alternative style, alternative health, spirituality, comics, manga, j-pop, harajuku or jock culture... we will always love you.
