So, if you are like me and like shopping early for the holidays please make sure to pick up a few of these charms as stocking stuffers!

From the Bitch Magazine site: www.bitchmagazine.org
First the bad news: The print publishing industry as a whole is staring into a void. Across the board, newsstand magazine sales are in a slump, subscriber numbers are down, and paper and postal costs continue to rise. But it’s not magazines like US Weekly or Vogue that you’ll see disappearing from the newsstands—they have the parent companies and the resources to weather industry ill winds. It’s the small, independent magazines like Bitch that will disappear, because the odds are already stacked high against us. And simply put: Bitch needs to raise $40,000 by October in order to print the next issue of Bitch.
They are asking each of you who values independent, nonprofit media and intelligent feminist cultural analysis to contribute what you can to ensure that Bitch thrives.
The 2nd annual DIY Factory will showcase 50+ alternative arts and crafts vendors epitomizing the Do-It-Yourself ethic.

The first 100 guests will receive a free handmade goody bag stuffed with some great loot from our vendors and sponsors!
