Frankie Magazine – Issue 60

There are meditations on bad gift-giving and age-appropriate dress, a yummy guide to tea and cheese, a look at creative bartering (featuring flowers and pickles) and a chat with puberty poet laureate Judy Blume. We meet a lady making public art in Beirut and another who’s busy making wooden furniture from scratch. And for special birthday kicks, we give you a giant, hand-lettered alphabet poster and a special recipe guide featuring nosh from our favourite bits of pop culture: the Baby-sitters Club, Golden Girls, Twin Peaks and The Goodies. It really does have to be seen to be believed. Plus: cute woollens for winter, where lamingtons came from, a visit to the pet cemetary (not as depressing as it sounds), a crafty project to make your own giant YAY, and – possibly – the meaning of life.*
