<p>"During the recent 24 hour (fan)zine workshop at Le Space I made another 24 hour zine (although, as usual, it took me a bit longer than 24 hours to finish it). In a nostalgic mood I decided to track back my musical fandom journey during my teenage years in the mid-end 90s, evolving from pop bands to female-fronted punk and metal. The zine also delves into curiosities from the 2000s, (lack of) diversity in representation, and gender troubles while growing older. Even Chainsaw Bunny has an appearance!"--From zinester's website. <a href="https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/new-zine-from-spice-girls-to-riot-grrrls/">https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/new-zine-from-spice-girls-to-riot-grrrls/</a></p>
