paGE 12:
But the good news for you is
that even if you’re growing up in
a place where everyone is gay,
it’s still fucking lonely and weird.
Which I think is good.
Nico Muhly bares all at The Leather Bar...
paGE 12:
It is so strong in everybody,
everybody loves their instinct and
follows it, but they get caught up
in society, slowly you get caught
up in this stampede of information
and bullshit. You get caught up
and your true self gets lost.
...as does Jónsi.
paGE 22:
The festival boasted just as much
bad music as good, but that’s
somewhat beside the point: the
event’s the thing. Parents wheel
out well-bundled infants in stroll-
ers, dads hoist excitable four
year-olds up on their shoulders,
grandparents mill around by the
hot dog stand.
IAldrei fór ég suður continues to dazzle
paGE 6:
Being taken seriously as a strip-
per is an uphill battle all over
the world, and certainly in some
cultures more than in others. It is
perhaps not surprising that Ice-
land’s strippers don’t have a for-
mal union or spokesperson, con-
sidering the increased stigma and
risks that sex workers, who are
also undocumented immigrants,
face in coming out and publicly
standing up for their rights.
Is the case of feminism, gender politics, por-
nography and human trafficking perhaps more
complicated than some people like to think?
paGE 8:
In the weeks after the first fissure
ripping open, the eruption has
remained pretty small, but ex-
tremely exciting.
Grapevine’s volcanologist student friend
James Ashworth gets excited. Like the rest
of us.
