ISSUE 50
Blood, sweat, tears, cake-nibbling, trips to the country, nostalgic viewings of Twin Peaks ... frankie issue 50 has taken a lot of doing, but finally it's ready to go out into the world, make friends and influence people.
Boasting a special, crafty, embossed cover (it's nice to stroke, we've checked), the big five-oh is full of ace stuff like: life advice from Beth Ditto, real-life magic tricks, progressive Swedish pronouns, a philosophy of stuff, lots of sarcastic '90s girls, a look at life on the farm, multi-coloured pigeons, famous people who flunked, musings on being 20-something with Tori Amos and a bumper baking special that'll keep you in the kitchen making cakes well into next year.
There's all our regular bits and bobs focusing on art, design, fashion, craft, silliness and real-life stories, plus lots of extra bells and whistles that make this the biggest, heftiest, most full-of-stuff frankie ever.
Hope you enjoy!
Here's something a little special for your Wednesday morning, franksters! The amazing team at Studio Something came down to our issue 50 shindig last week and filmed a little stop motion video of the whole hurrah. It includes dancing bingo markers, mini hot dogs, a kiss-blowing Benjamin Law, rad backing music by one of our bands for the night The Good China and lots of fun and frivolity.
