Join us to celebrate the publication of A Series of Attempts #3: ☆LOVING WOMEN★☆LE PONEY★ by Jordan/_ Hell!
Part archival remix, part recruitment manual, this pamphlet’s cast of BAD HORSEY GIRLS will teach you how to neigh, dance and flirt until the vampires come home. A Series of Attempts #3 opens with Jordan/_Hell’s new manifesto ☆ LOVING WOMEN ★, that takes the Nomadic Sisters 1976 publication by the same name as a departure point. From here, ★ LE PONEY ☆ then follows a string of lesbian ponies through a dimensional split. A dimensional split that looks suspiciously like the L.A./Parisian+ queer scene… (͠≖~≖ ͡ )
There’s coming-of-age. There’s intergenerational grudges. There’s murderous intent.
Sharpen your colouring pencils.
The night will be hosted, as always, by Donna The First. Expect horny horsey party games, cassette tapes, and live music.
