Review of Her Suit, the zine-spiration for this blog
Here's the review by Carla, the zine librarian at Wellington central library, where my zine is held.
"Her Suit is a zine about hair. From what I understand Alex Papanastasiou has used this zine as an opportunity to share and liberate her good and bad hair-related experiences. I really like this zine because it is so personal, I also love her blog. Alex tells us about the comments she has received about her hair, some of them are quite funny while others are quite heartbreaking. I think this zine is really valuable because it challenges our preconception of beauty. It’s in our zine collection now – come and check it out and see how you feel after reading it. (Carlita)"

The show being curated by a male however, sits uneasy with me and I attempt to address this unease in Hair Transposal_Hommage.
