Hello! My name is Ivana Stab. I’ll be 21 in February. I live in a middle-of-nowhere suburb, but thankfully it is located in Sydney. I’ll be starting my year of Honours early in 2010 to wrap up a Bachelor of Arts (Politics and International Relations). I make perzines and fanzines and sometimes write CD and gig reviews for various websites. Mostly I chain-smoke in Hyde Park and talk incessantly.

Once upon a time, I visited Livejournal religiously. Then it became a bit of a ghost town but I realised recently I really miss it. I’ve met lots of amazing people through this website; some of those people have become good friends of mine “in real life”. I discovered many of my interests and musical loves by stumbling upon them on Livejournal. I’m hoping things will become a bit more lively here so it’d be nice to meet some new people, hence this introductory post.

Hi! I'm the founder, editor and owner of N.E.E.T. Magazine, an online magazine that showcases independent, handmade, eco-friendly, and vintage fashion and design!

www.neetmagazine.com

N.E.E.T. began in December 2005 as a quarterly, online publication, laid out in a magazine format - as a showcase for grassroots creativity. N.E.E.T. is the first of its kind - online, free and packed with everyone from a crafter creating from their kitchen table, to a fashion design graduate straight out of college, to a team of people doing it for the love of it.



BUST called N.E.E.T. "A box of tasty visual bonbons and a brilliant take on the magalog genre", Venus Zine said "N.E.E.T. is highly addictive.. you'll think you've stumbled upon NYLON's funkier, thrift-store chic little sister." and Katie White from The Ting Tings said in Elle that "Neetmagazine.com features all the best vintage clothes on the internet and makes them look special."



N.E.E.T. has just released its seventeenth issue which you can view online at: www.neetmagazine.com...

I've been so nervous to do one of these! Lately, for some reason, I've felt like my life is completely monotonous and far from interesting. I'm incorrect. ( Definitely. )

Hello you lovely community, you. I'm Kat.



( introduction post )

$2.98. I've always wanted one of these clocks. It does work, but the hands for Toyko and New York are a little loose.

( A variety of things. )

ok ladies and gents, this is something of a mixed bag: self promotion, a wee intro and a couple of questions....




i like drawing, i do it all the time, and ive recently decided to try and make some money out of it...
( sore arms and ink stains )

The week before last I flew to Atlanta, GA for this big party being thrown to commemorate the 70th anniversary of my favorite movie, Gone with the Wind (no, I'm not one of those people who dress up in costumes, although I have been told I'd make a good southern belle...hmmm). There I met up with two friends from Warsaw, Poland, and we took a "gone with the wind" roadtrip through the South. It's something I'd wanted to do for years and years, particularly as this was my first time to that part of the US. Our route took us from Atlanta to Jonesboro, which is slightly south, and then to Savannah and Charleston and back. Savannah was my favorite--it's the definition of southern charm and the architecture is amazing (as is Charleston).

My main reason for wanting to go to Savannah was to visit Bonaventure Cemetery, which is referenced in one of my fave non-fiction books, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt (haven't read it? Recommended!). It was built on what used to be the grounds of a plantation, on a bluff overlooking the Savannah River. The cover of Berendt's book features a statue called The Bird Girl, which became so famous after the book was published that it was taken out of the cemetery and put in a museum.

Still, Bonaventure Cemetery is all sorts of creepy and amazing. So, I thought I'd share some of my photos.


Little Gracie Watson is one of the most visited graves in the cemetery. Gracie died from pneumonia when she was 6 years old, and a year later, sculptor John Walz carved this life-size statue from a photo taken shortly before she died. Her grave has become to popular that caretakers at Bonventure had to erect an iron fence around it to keep tourists out.

( i love old cemeteries )

Hello! Long time lurker, this is such a great community for some artisic inspiration. Now I guess I'll go on ahead and introduce myself! ( My name is Jenna Nation, and I am nothing but a southern belle. )

Hello, I figured it was about time for an introduction. I'm Danielle, I'm 19 (20 on December 7 aka Pearl Harbor Day) and I'm currently at Keene State College in New Hampshire. I'm going to be an English major, but that's really only because I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I'm really into photography, although I don't consider myself exceptionally good at it, but I'd like to keep learning about it. I listen to music pretty much nonstop and my all time favorite band will always be Brand New. Right now I'm also really into Band of Horses, Cobra Starship, Northstar, Kings of Leon, MGMT, Paramore, and basically anything that's fun. I'm completely obsessed with Harry Potter and True Blood, and I probably watch way too much tv (Gossip Girl, Glee, Heroes, Gilmore Girls, etc). I'm also obsessed with buying clothes, it's pretty bad. I can't really think of any other interesting things to say about myself so how about some pictures? I would love some new friends too!
