Issue #1 – 2002

Pretty Ugly #1 Cover

Our fantastic debut issue hit the distros and zine fairs in Summer of 2002, jammed packed with heaps of great rants, articles, interviews (with Sarah from Nitocris) and profiles on pioneering women Etta James and Diana Rigg. It also featured contributions from a big swag of Aussie zinestars including Ms Kylie Purr. Issue one continues to be much sought after but was sold out long ago. Here are some samples from this issue:
