false 46659 2 "In <I>BUST</I> we've captured the voice of a brave new girl: one that is raw and real, straightforward and sarcastic, smart and silly, and liberally sprinkled with references to our own Girl Culture." So say Marcelle Karp and Debbie Stoller, smart, sassy founders of <I>BUST</I> ("the magazine for women with something to get off their chests"), and editors of this funky, fabulous, neofeminist manifesto. The <I>Guide to the New Girl Order</I> collects the best of <I>BUST</I>, including thoughtful articles, personal essays, and racy rants about anything from abortion to the lameness of the Lifetime television network. In their own words, they address "that shared set of female experiences that includes Barbies and blowjobs, sexism and shoplifting, <I>Vogue</I> and vaginas." <p> Having started out as a hand-stapled zine, <I>BUST</I> swims with an in-your-face, grrrl power attitude that alternately taunts, encourages, and calls readers to battle. Contributors range from mysterious authors with names like Betty Boob and Scarlett Fever to such famous femmes as Courtney Love. Karp and Stoller organize the pieces into sections labeled "Sex and the Thinking Girl, "Men Are from Uranus," etc., offering introductions for each that provide humor, insight, and cultural context. And with selections like "Sex, Lies, and Tampax," "How to Be as Horny as a Guy," and "Bitch on Heels," this is not your mother's ladies' journal. Also included are such hilarious explorations of pop culture as "The Mysterious Eroticism of Mini-Backpacks," "My Keanu, A Fantasy," and "Bring Me the Head of Melanie Banderas." Whether you're intimidated or intrigued by such an irreverent approach to redefining the feminine, there's only more to come--and there's no place to hide. As the editors warn, "Wake up and smell the lipgloss, ladies: the New Girl Order has arrived." <I>--Brangien Davis</I> 2334896 1 8 1999 The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order total:323|5:77|4:124|3:90|2:29|1:3| 323 1212 465 40 2 2 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jun 06 22:10:57 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 06 22:11:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu May 31 16:41:28 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 16 07:42:06 -0700 2007

It was less substantial and there was a lot more attempt at empty shock value by some of the writers. It probably works better as a periodic disposable magazine than as an attempt at essays with long-term relevance.
