| Both a literary magazine and a chronicle of girl culture, Bust was born in 1993.
With contributors who are funny, fierce, and too smart to be anything but feminist, Bust is the original grrrl zine, with a base of loyal female fans--all those women who know that Glamour is garbage, Vogue is vapid, and Cosmo is clueless. The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order contains brand new, funny, sharp, trenchant essays along with some of the best writings from the magazine: Courtney Love's (unsolicited) piece on Bad Girls; the already immortal "Don'ts For Boys"; an interview with girl-hero Judy Blume; and lots of other shocking, titillating, truthful articles. A kind of Our Bodies, Ourselves for Generation XX, The BUST Guide to the New Girl Order is destined to become required reading for today's hip urban girl and her admirers. Covering everything from boys to bras, sex to Sassy, Madonna to motherhood, this book contains new, sharp, trenchant essays introducing classic asricles from the magazine: Courtney Love’s (unsolicited) rant on Bad Girls; the already immortal "Don’ts for Boys"; an educational "Visit to the Museum of Menstruation"; and many other shocking, titillating, truthful pieces. If you’re looking for advice on how to attract a man or for weight-loss tips from the world’s thinnest models, this is not the book for you. But if you want to have some "broad"-minded fun, become a Bust-carrying member of the New Girl Order. NOW! |
