pinky issue 6

RESTOCKING THE WEEK OF 7/8; ORDERS PLACED BETWEEN 7/1 AND 7/8 WILL SHIP THE WEEK OF 7/8  

the theme of pinky 6 is "prisms, mirrors, and light." we were never supposed to see our faces this much, but we do. in the mirror, in the water, on our phones, in the security camera feed at the grocery store, in a glass door on a sunny day. the light is to blame for our hyper-visibility, but it's also the best way to find each other: in the sun. if we're really lucky, we'll catch each other just after a storm, a rainbow crystallizing above our heads like a hint.

if you haven't caught on by now, pinky 6 is our first ever pride issue! this issue was made by an all-queer staff, featuring all-queer artists. instead of slapping a rainbow on the cover, pinky 6 comes with a grid design so that you — or a queer girl in your life — can make it reflect your own version of queerness. it also comes with an exclusive, custom sticker pack of 3 sticky hands to represent the three totems of the issue: a prismatic one, a mirrored one, and a glow-in-the-dark one (for light); incorporate them into your design or save them for somewhere special, the choice is yours! the best part about being queer is that you can do things however you want.

inside the issue itself, you'll find:

• a conversation with light painter mary royall wilgis on the topic of light as queer joy
• conversations on queer style with online style icons anania (@anania00), jazmine brown (@thatcurlytop), maddie dragsbaek (@maddiedragsbaek), ocean van exel (@ocean.vanexel), jade fox (@iamjadefox), mac rose (@justmacrose), violet trinidad (@violetsw0rld), and nora yogurt (@norayogurt)

• short stories by sarah chin, faith kathleen, parker melnick, mokshali raman, & anna nightingale
