SUBS EXTENDED TO MAY 18!
arrives june 5, 2020.
What We’re Looking For:
Labels: The world is defined by them in order to offer us clarity, guidance, and certainty. At least, seemingly. Often, though, labels can be confining, and confusing, and this can apply especially in regards to our sexualities.
So, what does a bi-sexual person look like? What can they believe in? What are their lives shaped of?
For the Bi Babes Issue 2020, we could tell you that we are looking for ______, ______ and _____. And maybe those blanks could include our desires to learn about your heartbreaks, and your magic, and your specific kind of kinks. Maybe. And we would accept those things, but also, understand that we would accept those things + more. And that MORE can be whatever it is that gives your words and your art fire.
At Pussy Magic we do not confine, label, or demand that you fulfill preconceived expectations. So––submit your work. We just want your absolute best, Bi Babes.
Note: Not everyone’s “out”. We understand and we accept anonymous submissions and/or if you email us but note that you want to be anonymous we will honor your request!
