FALL 2008 ISSUE

Freaky Fashion

Don’t put away that Halloween Costume just yet!

By Penelope E. Davidsen

With the advent of shows such as Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model, many of us are becoming armchair fashionistas, or fashionmistas, depending upon your sex.  If you want to wow your son/daughter, niece or nephew, let them in on the latest trend.  Goth and Punk styles are back on the scene.  What you pick up at your local shopping plaza for a Halloween costume may show up on the runways as hip and edgy.  Dressing up as a Pirate or Witch for Halloween? Give the outfit to your daughter and let her have a blast cutting it up and wearing it to the movies with friends. She’s likely to be the trendiest one in the bunch and you can have all the credit.  Is your husband dressing up as Mel Gibson in Braveheart? Plaids and tartans are chic and classic styles that are back on the rise.  This may be more palatable for some parents and offers something less revealing, but just as stylish. Show off your fashion sense to the younger generation and become their American Idol!

A Word With You

Enjoy our new look! Thanks to the marvelous talents of Lissa Wyrwicz along with our joining up with the Southern Maine Signal Magazine In this, our FALL ISSUE of 2008, we do the dance macabre with weird and creepy stories. We hope to inform you with our articles and flabbergast you with fiction. As usual, we invite you to read and encourage you to pass on copies of our humble ‘zine to family and friends in the hopes of broadening our subscription base.

OUR SUMMER ISSUE HAD MOST SALES EVER! It is our hope that this one and fture issues will fare as well and even better.

And remember, if you’re a burgeoning writer or artist, IDEAGEMS ® PUBLICATIONS could be your first step in building your portfolio. To date, more than a dozen of our writers have been picked up by mainstream publishers. So check out our submission guidelines and send us your work today!
