Lot's Wife Edition 1 2016

CARINA FLOREA
It’s not everyday that someone gives you the chance
to make a magazine, yet for some odd reason it
landed in our not so trusty hands. And with great
power, comes great responsibility, which is why we
felt it in our best interest to create a pretty magazine
that can keep you company on those long bus rides
home or when there’s lousy smarch weather outside.
Be sure to check out the tear-out poster/calendar
and hang it above your bed or colour it in as you
wish.
But I’ve got to admit, making a magazine
is hard work and we couldn’t of done it without
the help of our newly made team of beautiful and
amazing writers, illustrators and designers. Specifically,
Natalie, our designer who had to put up with
our terrible singing in the office for days on end, our
sub-editors and illustrators who have worked so hard
to help put this thing together, and just everyone
who came in during the holidays to make this thing
happen!

Hey sxc chicas and papas. I promise you, I initially
had something real good written up. I swear. Alas,
like everything else that manages to exist in my
world, I have left this to the night before the final
copy is due and am struggling to fill the void that is
currently my empty editorial space.
So here I am. Look, I’m not going to sugar
coat it: making a magazine is really fucking hard. It’s
almost as hard as boiling an egg properly (all those
‘perfect egg in 2 minute’ recipes are kidding themselves)
or sitting through an episode of Making a
Murderer without wanting to scream at the TV every
time an Avery says ‘yeah’.
In reality, thanks to a whole lot of uber-brilliant
people who chose to come to Clayton on their
holidays – you know who you are - this pillar of salt
(aka Edith) was able to remain upright and extra
salty. Right now, I feel like I’m delivering an Oscar
speech and the orchestra is ready to drown me out
but before I go, please read Lot’s lots. I’m about 81%
sure Sanders would approve and 19% sure Clinton
would hate it.
