Dear Rebels,
This week, I’ve been juggling a wild little mix of glitter, spreadsheets, and group texts—which is exactly how I like it.
On the Fashion Rebel front, things are moving. I’ve been working with a fellow rebel to help spread the word about her badass new project, the Queer Trans Marketplace — an indie alternative to Etsy where LGBTQ+ makers can sell their work without selling their souls. (Yes, it’s in the next issue. Yes, you’re gonna love it.)
I’ve also reached out to a potential interviewee for the November issue. No spoilers yet, but if this works out, we are entering full rebel diva territory.
Behind the scenes, I’ve been:
✨ Drafting a super fun quiz for the August issue (think chaos gremlin meets fashion oracle)
💸 Exploring a Gumroad affiliate program so my favorite rebels (that’s you) could earn cash for every issue you help sell
📬 Giving Patreon gremlins an exclusive first look at the quiz this week
🧾 Researching the costs and logistics of making Fashion Rebel Nation an official LLC (because yes, this rebellion deserves legal standing)
Outside the magazine, I’m also prepping for a 25th anniversary weekend with four of my oldest friends—because apparently, we’ve been weird together since dial-up internet and butterfly clips. As soon as I’m back from that, I’ll be diving headfirst into final edits and layout to get the August issue ready for its big debut.
Let’s do a quick glitter check-in:
Magazine quiz? Written. ✍️
Patreon perks? Dropped today. 🎁
Legal paperwork? Staring at me with a slightly menacing aura. 📄
My heart? Full of rebellious joy. 💖
And hey, if you haven’t joined the gremlins on Patreon yet—this is your sign. You’ll get behind-the-scenes chaos, early peeks, and my eternal gratitude in the form of typos, bonus rants, and virtual hugs.
The rebellion’s heating up, and I’m so damn glad you’re here for it.
with love, glitter, and a pocket full of good trouble,
