Here's What We Have:

Where would you rather be on Halloween night than a Brooklyn venue, hearing live music while dancing in costume with your friends (or by yourself)? The answer is nowhere . Especially when the live music you’re seeing is Double Standard – an NYC-based girl band beginning their takeover of the indie rock scene.  The band consists of Lydia Eberling (lead singer), Siena Moran (vocals & guitar), Lauren Dinhofer (lead guitar), Zoë Arora (bass), and Meg Cournoyer (drums). Each member showcases vital attributes to the band, which further enhanced their stage presence. Their individual talent is evident as their personalities shine through each song. While the band is just at the start of their career, they released their lead single, “Crush” just a week prior, along with merch and an eager support system. October 31st at Brooklyn Made marked just their second live performance. I must say, for only their second show, they filled the venue in a way most opening acts do not! It was not only impressive but also exciting to see the committed support for a new all-female band. Opening for Phoneboy  alongside Divine Sweater , the theme of the show was “Night of the Living Prom.” Playing into the theme, the band dressed for a spookier prom, a zombie prom. As the band walked out on stage in their bloody gowns and blazers, the energy in the room was visible and felt in many ways, through the jumping and shouting of the crowd and the uplifting support of close friends. Having a spot in the back of the audience really allows you to take your surroundings in and further analyze the energy the room has. Getting to see the stage in its entirety, each member settling into their positions, the room filled with fans and supporters alike. The crowd anticipated music and danced in silly costumes, seeing characters such as princesses, witches, vampires, you name it, making the feeling in the room noteworthy. A Halloween show is just special. Double Standard  exceeded expectations for putting on a rocking show. With the first two tracks reeling the audience in and prepping the crowd for the setlist, the band got more and more confident with each track. Their new single “Crush” was the third song played, which I’m sure was heard from outside of the venue. Clearly excited to play a song that’s out on all streaming platforms, their energy was lively and exuberant. The song displays a sense of yearning, which was felt through the live instrumentals. Punchy drums and a powerful electric guitar paired perfectly with Eberling’s bright vocals. The catchy chorus, “I think I’ve been waiting for you!” was shouted by the members and even some people in the audience who knew the lyrics, further delivering this honest and angsty feel to the track. They performed a cover right after their lead single, and you really can’t go wrong with an ABBA song. Double Standard  just continued to hype up the audience. Their rendition of “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” uplifted the crowd, and Arora’s sick bassline enticed us all. Their harmonies melded beautifully together as if they were made to sing together, transcending the room we were in. Moran’s vocals entering in on the fifth song stuck out to me, as they were mellifluous and compelling. Their song “To Maine” featured thundering drums by Cournoyer following Eberling’s strong vocals that held the room spellbound. The song held an energy that was infectious to everybody in the crowd. The last two songs really showcased the band's collective chemistry and how well they work together on stage. “Butterfly Bomb” was melodically beautiful, keeping us all engaged with the sonic expression of the lyricism. Eberling’s emotional performance and the harmonies with Moran were incredibly powerful. Arora and Moran were in sync, shredding on the guitar and bass, rocking out with each other. Again, the emotion in the song was felt through the powerful instrumentals, performance, and angry screaming at the end of the song! Their last song, “Bushwick Khole”, started off by asking the men in the audience to make some noise, and once they did, she screamed, “FUCK YOU GUYS!” All I gotta say is, it was awesome. Dinhofer’s riffs created a transcendental listening experience as the theatrics on stage continued. The band truly performed with sassy and quirky lyrics as they got on the floor of the stage and acted it all out. Their energetic movement and visible joy of performing were palpable all the way in the back. To end my thoughts of the night, it’s a pleasure being able to see and write about an all-girl rock band in this small indie rock bubble we have. In an industry oversaturated with indie boy bands, it’s important to uplift and appreciate the female voices and talents that might escape us. Each song held a mesmerizing spirit, an eye-catching performance, and candor within the lyricism that made the show so enjoyable. I’m excited to experience the future of Double Standard and what they have in store.

This spooky season, the pull to watch horror movies is stronger than the urge to make unnecessary sequels out of dead horror franchises cough cough Friday the 13th & Nightmare on Elm Street  (and I may finally be able to say Scream(!?) ). I have dedicated the month of October to watching one Halloween-themed movie a day. This has allowed me to be introduced to some intuitive and strong final girls, and it reminded me of my favorites. Here are five of my favorite Final Girls in horror (in no particular order). These girls have not only defeated their movie’s “big bad,” but by the time you get there, you are deeply rooting for them. There are so many horror movies these days where the final girls merely walk into that situation, but these girls have been put through the wringer and have made it out because they were smart and, in some cases, won in the long run.  Major spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution! Margot from The Menu (2022) The Menu  follows our main character Margo, played by Ana Taylor-Joy, and her date Tyler as they are shipped to a remote island for the dinner of a lifetime at an exclusive, luxury restaurant. As time goes on the dinner appears to be more personal and sinister than it may have first appeared as deaths start to pile up and it is revealed that by the end of the night, everyone will be dead. We find out that Margo is a paid escort and was brought there because the restaurant does not take parties of one and Tyler and his previous girlfriend broke up. Every single other person who is in attendance for this dinner represents some part of the restaurant industry Head Chef Slowik, the creative mind behind this dinner, dispises. It is revealed that Tyler knew from the start what Slowik’s plan was and that he brought Margo, sentencing her to death. Margo later denounces Slowik’s work by calling out how pretentious and unfulfilling the meal was. She challenges him to make something truly meaningful and filling - a cheeseburger. He prepares it with care and places it in front of Margo. She takes a singular bite and asks for it to go. Slowik, defeated, prepares the once-bitten cheeseburger to go and allows Margo to sail away from the island while everyone else goes up in flames during the final course, the deconstructed s’more. The movie ends as she sits on the boat, eats her cheeseburger, and watches the restaurant burn with everyone inside. Margo ends up in a murder-suicide plot that was never meant for her and she can use the personal life of Chef Slowik to find a way to break him, gain his approval, and be released from her fate. Grace Le Domas from Ready or Not (2019) When Grace Le Domas, played by Samara Weaving, is forced into a murderous game of Hide and Seek and has to hide for her life, she doesn’t let herself go easily. The Le Domas family, heirs to a board game empire, has a ritual that keeps their family prosperous. Typically, it’s a simple game like Chess or Old Maid, but on the random chance they pull the game Hide and Seek, a sacrifice of the newlywed into the family is demanded. The rest of Grace’s new family suits up with various weapons and gives her a 100-second head start. Grace manages to kill a number of her new husband’s family before sunrise after being captured and escaped several times. At sunrise, the family had lost the game and they all burst into an explosion of blood and guts by the curse. She goes out as the house burns to a crisp. She fought hard to beat the game, killing three people directly and managing to take several injuries just to wait out the clock, ending a ritualistic tradition older than anyone alive in the Le Domas family. Anita "Needy" Lesnicki from Jennifer’s Body  (2009) Amanda Seyfried plays a mousy and timid teen as her best friend, Jennifer, becomes sexy, confident, and supernatural after a satanic ritual goes wrong. Needy gains this sort of sixth sense for Jennifer’s actions. Needy feels that Jennifer is about to do something bad and she finds Jennifer covered in blood and then she shows up completely normal in Needy’s bedroom not too soon later. The body of Jennifer’s first victim is ripped up like spaghetti and she then sets her sights on Chip, a boy Needy had an interest in and a blooming romance with. Jennifer convinces Chip that Needy is romantically involved with another man, so she becomes distant and then moves on Chip. When he doesn’t fall for it, she attacks him. Needy finds them and tries to save Chip but he eventually dies. So much of their friendship involves Needy being put down by Jennifer to make her feel better, so seeing that Jennifer could not even give Needy the one guy who she wanted and who wanted her back shows how much she didn’t care for the friendship where Needy would have given anything for Jennifer. The two fight, Jennifer bites Needy, she gains some of Jennifer’s powers, and then she kills Jennifer. Needy then goes on a murder spree and kills the band members who tried to kill Jennifer and turned her into the satanic monster. Jennifer in this film is the definition of a maneater and she has so many wonderful scenes, making this my favorite of Megan Fox’s roles. Needy, having this arc of strength and eventually having to kill her best friend, becomes quickly pitied but also rootable. Having credits showcase how the band members were murdered gives us closure that Needy got her bloody revenge and where she was not able to save her best friend, she was able to avenge her.  Frida from Blink Twice  (2024) In the most recent entry in this list, Blink Twice  follows Frida, played by Naomi Ackie, as she joins rich tech mogul Slater King, played by Channing Tatum, and his friends on his private island. They spend their days drinking by the pool in bliss and spend their nights with gaps in their memory. When her friend mysteriously disappears and no one can remember her, she becomes suspicious and realizes something more is happening. It is revealed that the perfume they wear each day erases their traumatic memories, so each night the women are chased down and trapped by the men to be abused and assaulted. She aids in the murder of all of the men who harmed her and her friends except for Slater. She burns the house down with everyone inside, pulling Slater out with her. She watches the house burn down (a common final girl trope as we have seen) as she tends to Slater. After a time jump we find that they got married and she took control of the company. She uses the same perfume liquid infused in his vape to put him into a state of unawareness and debilitation.  After fighting for her life, she was able to secure a place in high society at Slater King’s expense, which may just be a worse fate than death.  Sidney Prescott from Scream 1-5 (1996 - 2022) For the first four movies in this franchise, Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, is actively targeted by her boyfriend, her best friend, her (now ex) boyfriend’s mom, her half-brother, and her cousin. She was shot & stabbed several times and watched her friends and family die. She fought for her life,i fought for her life again, and again, and again. By the fifth movie, she finally passes the final girl torch to characters Tara and Sam Carpenter. Sam is revealed to be the daughter of Billy Loomis, Sidney's ex-boyfriend, and one of the original killers. By the fifth movie, taking place over ten years after the events of Scream 4  we find that she has married the detective Mark Kincaid from the previous movie and they have three kids in NYC. After four movies of trauma and played a hand in the murder of each of the final killers of each movie. When she finally gets freedom from the curse of the final girl, it feels well worth it.  I love horror movies, but it is usually such a struggle to feel fully satisfied by the endings of the characters you watch. In these movies though, I can proudly say that you feel content when the film ends. There may be some common tropes even in a successful final girl, like walking away from the main location, now set ablaze, while they watch in with an unphased look, but it’s a satisfying ending nonetheless. And honestly, who can fault a girl for doing Hot Girl Shit and making her way out of a horror movie where she kicks ass in style. I believe the horror franchise needs to look towards these formulas more seriously as it allows us to want to come back to these stories again and again. There is currently a sequel to Ready or Not  in the works that I am so excited for, and even though Scream 5-6 was not great in execution, I enjoyed our sister duo of final girls, especially Sam Carpenter. If you want to root for some strong women through a horror movie, I would recommend these films, and I can’t wait to see what the horror genre continues to do with their final girls!

As a horror lover, I love whenever Halloween rolls around. While I can find an excuse to watch a scary movie anytime of the year, my tangents on practical effects become tolerable around October. I’m like one of those people who start celebrating Christmas even before Thanksgiving; as soon as a leaf turns orange, I bring out the Notes App of costumes I’ve been planning all year.  That said, when I mention that I like horror movies (especially in the “good for her” variety), I always get recommended the same films; Ti West’s X trilogy, The Love Witch , Midsommar (not really “good for her” horror, but great to know y’all would join a creepy white people cult). I like those movies just fine, but I was excited and then subsequently disappointed by Maxxxine since I saw Pearl  years ago. I’m also one of those pretentious film nerds that can stomach subtitles, so I’m a sucker for artsy foreign films. So unfortunately, it wouldn’t be right for me to gatekeep; based on movies everyone already knows and loves, here’s my certified “if you like this, try that” list (horror movie edition)! If you like American Psycho , try… Man Bites Dog: a Belgian mockumentary where the film crew follows and films the exploits of Ben, a serial killer. Surprisingly, it’s also a black comedy. Like with American Psycho, if you can get a few laughs out of some truly horrific scenes (and glean a little social commentary as well), Ben might become the new Patrick Bateman. If you like Jennifer’s Body , try… Raw: a French coming-of-age film about a girl who discovers her budding sexuality… By eating people. This one’s for my cannibalism girlies out there, especially when cannibalism is a metaphor for love/sex. Other entries for “puberty is terrifying so we’ll make it slay and scary” films (my favorite subgenre in the “good for her” category) include Ginger Snaps and Bones and All.  If you like Hereditary , try… Tigers Are Not Afraid: oh, you have generational trauma and you’re attracted to media that explores that theme through a supernatural lens? Except this one involves a little girl being haunted by her mother, who was killed by the Mexican cartel? And then you remember, oh yeah, the director based this OFF HER OWN EXPERIENCES (minus the ghosts… presumably) If you like Midsommar , try… The Wolf House : okay, I was kidding about the creepy white people cult… But speaking of creepy white people cults, this film is based off of a real one! This film is an animated (stop-motion with drawn elements) psychedelic fairy tale based off of Colonia Dignidad, a real-life Nazi cult that escaped to Chile and abused children, and is fashioned as a propaganda film produced by the leader to further brainwash followers into staying.  If you like Friday the 13th , try… Sleepaway Camp : saved the surprise for last! I’ve scrolled to the bottom of Tubi’s horror section, so I love niche slashers as well. Personally, I find Friday the 13th , as revolutionary as it was, a bit primitive in comparison to its counterparts. Sleepaway Camp , however, is anything but primitive. The acting is hilarious (camp, if you will…), the kills are incredible, especially given that they were done practically, and the killer? While argued that the twist was done in poor taste, an icon nonetheless…  Written by Ava Sharahy Photography by Francesca DiMiceli Talent: Sawyer Evans

Mini Issue 02 - Rebirth May 2024 Spring – a time of change, evolution, recreation, reevaluation, and renewal. We take this time to look within and rediscover ourselves. Take this time to invite new beginnings, new journeys, and be reborn. ​ We find rebirth in the country aesthetic through timeless yet ever evolving styles. Each generation has reinvented the country look, all the while keeping it classic and chic. Through music, fashion, and pop culture the country phenomenon rebirths itself time and time again. ​ We find rebirth in Persephone because that is the epitome of her being. She is the definition of fertility and spring- her return is equivalent to rebirth. According to the ancient greeks, Persephone is a big reason as to why there are four sunny seasons and the rest cold. We find rebirth in Bloom because it symbolizes renewal, growth, and the cycle of life. the blooming flowers emerge from what seems like lifeless, reminding us that beauty and exuberance can arise from adversity and hardship. Like the rose that grew from concrete. ​ As we make the journey through the seasons of life, we find rebirth in a multitude of ways—whether in the serene embrace of the country, the timeless allure of Persephone's return, or the vibrant flowers that adorn our world. Each symbolizes renewal, growth, and the perpetual cycle of transformation. So, let us embrace change, evolution, and the endless possibilities of new beginnings as we continue to rediscover ourselves and bloom once again with each passing day.
