We want them all, in our face, right now, amirite?! I can’t believe I didn’t even know how to do this: it took the Parisian All City blog to show me. But the French are good at shit like that: humbling you. So here is a humble preview of our humble magazine which I humbly present to you.
***UPDAAAAATE!!!!***** This is just a PREVIEW, you hear? As in a VIEW of the”PRE-s” variety. At 112 pages, the real thing is heavy enough to injure somebody. Namely, the postman.
So what was clear coming out of Round 1 was that neither of us got off too a particularly fantastic start lol. That and Mr craig_gee and I were pretty well tied so Round 2 required some serious ante up! It was my only chance to rebut and given that I seldom battle I figured since he’d already provided the ammo it’d be easier to flip on that than have to come with something fresh, right? Yeah, nah.

Fitzroy’s First Lady of hip hop, MC Class A, is about to drop a brand spanking new album called ‘Me, Me, Me & Him: The Secret Life of a Receptionist’ on September 17. And to wet your appetite, she’s whipped out this blazing clip for the first single, ‘So Bad’.
I caught up with Class A on Saturday for a quick photo shoot for the upcoming Female Sneaker Fiend book, Girls Got Kicks. As usual Class A was her gorgeous self, and having a gorgeous subject makes taking photos very easy! That and a barmy afternoon whizzing around the back streets of Fitzroy on a purple BMX, Bulmers in hand. I’m sure you’ll agree from the sneak peek of the flicks below, she’s a girl who’s going places (stay tuned for more on Class A in the next issue of C.O.P.!).
I’ve been loving this track by Blue King Brown after hearing it being bumped on community radio. After a bit of research I feel in love with it more when I found out that BKB in partnership with the The Body Shop and Childwise are giving away the MP3 of this track for free in hope of raising awareness of sex trafficking. The track is available for download here where you can also get information on how you can join the fight against sex trafficking and help the 2.5 million people worldwide who are trafficked each year, in particular the 1.8 million children who are victims of this horrendous abuse of human rights.
If you have any interest in music which is more than just meaningless repetitive lyrics then I encourage you to listen to Blue King Brown’s music which is not only enjoyable to listen to but also contains important activist messages and heartfelt meaning.
You can also find out about other activist causes Blue King Brown are involved in here.
I’m totally over the expectations set by the photoshopped fembots that pass for models these days. I mean it’s like “whatever”, we all get it’s fake, it’s OK, who cares. However there are certain areas of a lady’s daily toilette where I absolutely have to put my minimally pedicured foot down. Moustaches. On chicks. Have got. To go.
Guys trim their facial hair, so it looks all cheery and jaunty and bushy-looking: this is how one must maintain a face garden if one is going to cultivate one. Moustachio’d ladies however tend to pretend like it’s not even there, so it ends up growing more like some weepy kind of nose creeper. Those face pubes make me sick, lady. Working in the glamorous field of aged care, you’d think I could write an illustrated guide to lady whiskers, but nay, the worst offenders are not the cotton-tops: it’s middle-aged Canadian women at the supermarket who have so much facial hair, their toothbrush gets jealous.
You’re a grown-ass woman, so I assume you can track yourself down a jar of Nair right? Cool now apply the whole thing with a shovel. That shit is nasty.
It’s not everyday you meet a chick so hot you have to put a bag over her face to avoid people molesting your magazine. Let alone one who is willing to make her first magazine cover ‘anonymous’. Meet Amanda Miller. She’s been so dope about being this season’s mystery girl (she was also the beer-and-bling-swilling lady of the night in our recent flyer if you recall) we thought we’d uncover the beauty and the brains behind the balaclava. As it turns out, bein’ all covered up makes a refreshing change for our Miss Amanda…
The sneering face of Issue 3 disguises the biggest edition of C.O.P. to date, with 112 pages of the world’s best female creatives inside. Featuring the likes of Martha Cooper, Jean Grey, Invincible, TheBoobs, JERK, MOTEL7, Muay Thai champs, graf on guys, a guide to the perfect steak, the Skanks & Ladettes Board Game, handicapping that girls can understand and more, C.O.P. is the world’s only half-decent magazine for girls who are really not at all.

There are few opportunites in life where you get to tear strips of someone you’ve never met, are never likely to meet and who will turn around and congratulate you on your effort. Unless you’re partial to a bit of battle rap that is. It occured to me a few nights ago whilst drowning in my own self pity that perhaps all I need to do to feel a bit better is cut sick and let some insults fly. As such, I decided to take my pent up anger to ‘the boards’ (aka my favourite forum on which I oft talk hip hop shit with other losers who have no life) and find myself someone who was looking to do the same. The original emcee battle board to be precise. While horny people meet on the net to fuck, angry people who call themselves emcee meet on the net to come up with creative ways to insult one another.

Unless it’s for a rad new Aussie publication such as this, in which case I’m imagining queues of cool cats with sketchbooks rather than old ladies carrying erotic novels tucked between incontinence pads and heart medication in their purse.

Being the diverse, attractive broads that we are, we have all had our fair share of dating horror stories (i.e., it seems many of the C.O.P ladies are wife’d up, so this pertains to the BEFORE wife’d up stage of your lives, lol).
Due to the fact that my experience was so funny and wrong, I thought I’d share it for others to chuckle about with me. (more…)
