And now for something completely different, I'm cataloging zines from Keight Bergmann's personal collection, plus a few from through the transom and the internet.
Also, today is Insurance Awareness Day, apparently. Insert derisive comment on the health insurance industry and US healthcare here.
Keight Zines
Buttons by Astrid (Stefanie?) Le Jeunesse with pictures by Tim Le Jeunesse, early 2000s?
I wish I could figure out more about this one. Keight thinks she bought it from a third party, so not much help there.
Sorry for the blurry cell-phone photo. If you can make the image out, can you place it in time or space?

"While we never 'played house' in the traditional sense of the term, my sister and I liked to pretend we were 20-something single women living on our own; sometimes we would pretend to be rich, but most of hte time we were struggleing to get by as aspiring actresses who had to forage in the woods for food."
