Phew... after a hectic month gathering articles, developing a magazine and getting to grips with a design package the editor is taking a well earned rest in Taurus with a large glass of wine!
There's only one problem... I am now addicted to this site and Taurus is fuelling the habit with it's free Wi Fi.
Just wanted to give a special thanks to Iain and Polly at Taurus for their enthusiasm and encourgament with the site.

After reading Lucy's article about Easter and excess chocolate i have decided to give up chocolate for lent... so far so good! I can't say the same for my declaration that I would also give up alcohol and caffiene.
Enjoy the site! Leila

I'm starting to get excited about Queer Up North, it's only a couple of months away check out our Queer Up North page for regular updates.
Easter weekend is here and I'm enjoying a leisurely morning updating the website.
We have a friend staying over this weekend, so we did the right thing and went out for a bit of culture yesterday. If you loved the advert where the choir used their voices to replicate the sound of a Honda you might just be interested in seeing the d&ad exhibition, on till 6th April at The Urbis www.urbis.org.uk/
Also at the Urbis is 'How Manga took over the world'- I'm not really into Manga, but the exhibition is well worth a peek, and there is a little something for Hello Kitty and Kill Bill fans too.
I'm off to decorate an egg now!
Okay, so it's a little bit early to up and writing a blog on a Sunday... !
Check out the new features for Edition 2 of Zhoosh!... it's taken a while but Edition 2 is almost ready, and will be available to download by the end of the week... you can read some selected articles online now!
So why am I up so early? tooth ache... although technically speaking the tooth was removed on Friday, so it's more of a gum ache, and what better to take my mind off the agonising pain than update the Zhoosh site.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who had emailed and used the contact us page to enquire about edition 2. We had a few production problems, including a laptop death... but we are now back on track and planning the Edition 3, the Pride issue.
As always, if you have any ideas, comments or questions.. just email me at
Wow! we've had over 70 downloads of the magazine in 2 days...
