Frankie, Issue 65

Frankie is the thinking girl’s guide to everything that’s good in the worlds of fashion, craft, music, film, illustration and pretty much anything else worth checking out. An adorable Australian title that continues to flourish thanks to a fiercely loyal readership, Frankie was crowned both Australian Magazine of the Year and Australian Fashion Magazine of the Year at the 2012 Australia Magazine Awards.

In this issue:
Inside this issue we’ve got a pair of history detectives, some semi-drunken whisky reviews, and pom poms at the North Pole, plus a properly tiny house in Christchurch and a spirited defence of being boring. We chat with handy types working in old-fashioned trades – if you ever wanted to know how to make a rocking horse, here’s your chance – and several unscary folk who work with dead people. There’s a look at some very important moments in glitter history, and the definitive reasons why Mondays suck. Plus pretty prosthetic legs, the joys of clean sheets and going bra-free, and the knowledge that Paula Abdul probably invented the Running Man. Want more? We also have a dreamy ’70s-tinged sci-fi vision of the future, and a slightly sick-making view of the recipes of the past (fish custard does not sound good)
