The Punk Directory
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.
How to make a binbag dress
Indie arts and crafts: With Halloween coming up, everyone is looking for (cheap) original costumes. A binbag dress has an enticing aura of punk promise, it's more tacky than all the eighties put together and it's almost free!
The weird world of 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.
An interview with Freezepop
Music Interviews: Mitsy Mayhem interviews Liz Enthusiasm, the singer of electro-pop outfit Freezepop. Find out more about the band that brought us zippy lyrics like "Don't play with me / I'm not your toy. / Oh, can't you see / I am not your Gameboy" (a band in-joke, since they're apparently often asked if they've made their music on a Gameboy).
Gain the favour of a teacher with a magic spell
Magic and Sprituality: Got a teacher or professor who isn't seeing eye to eye with you? With the aid of your inner (potato) eye you can tweak the universe in a way to promote wisdom, understanding and communication between you and your tutor. Wondrous!

The 'how do you cope with stress' quiz
Personality Quiz: Are you a stress merchant or a psycho bitch? Let's face it, we probably all have a few bats loose in the attic. Have you ever woken up screaming only to realize you haven't yet fallen asleep? Are you someone who can't have a crisis for at least two weeks because your schedule is already full? This flippant and utterly unscientific quiz will tell you what kind of wide-eyed loon you are so you can show off to your friends!

Could this be you? We want to read your wonderful bitchin' words! Find out more...
Guidelines for Mookychick writers
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.
