The Punk Directory

Punk directory review Book reviews: Some time in the early months of 2007, a group of people got together to try to redefine the youth with the Mohawk and covered in leather. The kid on the street corner smoking and spitting, waving a middle finger in the air. Yeah, that wonderful image of a 'punk'. And let me tell you, says Emma Wright, they weren't all too successful.

The weird world of Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo Icon of the week: Mexican Frida Kahlo was one of the most hypnotically entrancing surrealist painters of our time. She contracted polio, got crippled by a tram, became a revolutionary, wore traditional mexican dress with a surreal twist, conducted affairs with women and slept with Trotsky. In life and oils, she was a true artist. Frida Kahlo, we salute you.

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.
