Sophie just started a really awesome online zine called Grrrl Beat. She would love for you to contribute!
“For those of you who don’t know me personally, I have a lot of crazy ideas. Edible guitar picks… a Hello-Kitty themed spacecraft… life-size cardboard cutouts of Alex Turner (ermmm maybe I shouldn’t have left that one in there)… the list goes on and on. But finally, I’ve arrived at an idea more realistic than building a spacecraft and less creepy than the Alex Turner thing: an online zine! It’s called GRRRL BEAT and basically I want it to be a super-cool forum where people can go to read and talk about music, culture, fashion, art, books, feminism, you name it! It will also be a place where young artists and musicians can post their work and receive feedback from our online community. But I don’t want this to be just a website with me ranting and raving about whatever pops into my head (as fascinating as that would surely be). I want YOUR contributions! Would you like to contribute articles, art, music, or anything else? I want to hear from you! Are you a writer, looking for a place to share your views on music or a political issue? Are you an artist who wants to post some art you’ve been working on? Are you Joey Ramone calling from the grave?! Anyways, if you have any interest in this project please email me at grrrlbeat@gmail.com and let me know a little about yourself and what you’d be interested in posting on the site. I look forward to hearing from you all!” -Sophie](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnvmjivfjM1qamc4zo1_1280.png)

This is me at 17. Two years before this was taken I had reddish brown feathered hair and was secretly still playing with Barbies. One year before I had a bob and looked like a 16 year old soccer mom (I was going for preppy but soccer mom is what actually happened). I’ve been thinking about being a teenager a lot lately because I recently did an interview with Izzy from Care Bears on Fire for my friend Matt Wolf’s Teenager blog. Also because I am teaching a lyric writing workshop on Monday at the Brooklyn Rock Camp for Girls. I remember being nervous as a teen, numbed out and self hating, but it was also such a great time for experimentation and figuring out what my aestetic was, what kind of music I REALLY liked vs.what was cool. I went thru a truly embarrassing Jim Morrison faze and I HATE what the Doors sound like. I think it was more about his pasty drug ridden body. A year before that all my fantasies were fueled by a huge black and white poster of Mikael Baryshnikov in tights. WTF???? Weird to look back and not have any memory of where you were coming from. Anyways, it gives me so much joy to know that these teenage girls are making music together. I mean seriously, I couldn’t even imagine being in a band when I was in highschool.
