I don’t think I’ll ever get over the the fact that people I don’t know read Worn…I found this image on some random Japanese blog called P-heavy’s diary.

I’ve never worried in my life about being too old to wear something. I’ve chatised our managing editor for shying away from headbands. (Seriously, she looks really adorable in them) Just this week I was slipping a bow in my hair and had a little Bunny McDougal moment. I took it off. I’ve been annoyed at myself ever since. Next week I’m back on the bow wagon.

I make resolutions for Worn every year. This year, a big one is to take the show on the road more. 2008 was our busiest season yet: City of Craft, Word on the Street, and Canzine in Toronto, Puces POP and Expozine in Montreal, Ladyfest in Ottawa, DIYnot? in Waterloo, and Kazine in Guelph. I’d like to start going to a few father away in 2009, I’ve heard good things about Renegade in New York and Chicago, Crafty Bastard in Washington and the Portland Zine Symposium especially makes me drool. We are not quite ready for overseas, but I’d love to attend Colophone next biennial.

Anyone else know of any shows Worn ought to check out, either zine or crafty, but especially independent magazine?

Former Worn intern Adey sent me a link to Polish blogger Lady Alice who is a mere fourteen years old. She describes herself as “Trendsetter and shopaholic. However really reasonable and not extravagant. Oversensitive to aesthetic. But tolerant. Strongly attached to her opinions and outlook. Unfortunately a pedant.”

I wish I had been this cool in high school.
