The Mega-Zine Museum

DORMANT ASSASSIN This town is dead. But let's still put flowers on its tomb. Thought we'd begin on a light note today — Thanx!
THE SNAIL MASTER WLW — If you reveal your true identity I will give you my last 3 chocolate hob nobs. Oh, and £10. Mmmm... let's see... not even for your last three Rolos!
VENUS IN COMBAT TROUSERS Soon the whole planet will be overrun by people resembling the cartoon women in Elvis costumes and push-up bras. Must dash off to M&S, don't wanna be left behind.
STEPPING INTO THE PAST
The '80s: | Aaaaaggghhhh! I hated them, I shall always hate them. |
The music: | New romantics. What was that all about? |
The fashions: | Big shoulders aren't for me. |
The hair: | Hairspray galore. No ta. |
This is a public warning: Never let them happen again. Ever!
Alonza's Half-Sister
A Wham revival in your honour methinks
DEAR ZINE, AN INTRODUCTION
Before leaving my place of learning, my English literature tutor branded me as her "Browen Paragon".
Amazingly I heard her (I was switching from Placebo to Radiohead). I smiled, then thought, then smiled again.
Now I have a name. I am Browen Paragon and I introduce myself to the 'Zine.
Browen Paragon
Welcome! Placebo to Radiohead? No! No!
AVOID DOUGHNUT DISINTEGRATION
MYSTERIOUS CHICK
In response to your questions about our beloved WLW: most certainly male and cute (oh yes).
His home planet is KORN country (full of Korn music, Munky + lookalikes + goths, grungers + skaters) and his favourite Ziner is — you guessed it — me!
LESTAT
PS WLW. I said you were cute, so publish this — remember flattery will get you everywhere.
Pure speculation will get you nowhere
ROUND THE HANDBAG TO AGADOO DO DO
ZINERS
Please correct me if I'm wrong — but it seems to me that you're all unhappy or lonely. I'm usually quite adept, but sometimes misguided, in judging others.
I know 'Zine is a forum for the empty-hearted or lonely-souled, but it can be a place to share joy.
At the moment I am very happy and content within myself, I've started going with a lad I like. Wish me luck.
Wishing you all love and happiness.
Breath of fresh air
You certainly are — Good Luck!
SUCH A NICE LETTER
