Shameless Issue 2 is launching this Sunday at Word On The Street, Toronto’s book and magazine festival.
WHEN: Sunday, Sept. 26, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE: Queen’s Park, behind the legislature building. Look for our booth in the magazine section, near the east end of the park.
WHY: We’re celebrating the launch of our second issue! Come say hello and pick up a copy of Issue 2. We’ll also be selling subscriptions, our famous one-inch buttons and Good Grooming For Girls, our new star-studded girl band/singer CD compilation.
WHY ELSE: Shameless Co-Editors & Co-Publishers Melinda and Nicole, plus some other fabulous women, will be taking part in a reading titled Girl Power at 2 p.m. in the Canadian Magazines Tent (Queen’s Park Cres. E., just north of Wellesley St.). Check out the program listing: “A new breed of smart, subversive women is contributing to the Canadian cultural landscape. Hear the latest from cool young writers, including selections from Shameless, a new progressive magazine for teen girls.”
IF YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN’T MAKE IT: Well, you’ll be missing the best literary fest around. But never fear. Issue 2 will be available at bookstores across the country in early October. Or you can order your subscription online, which saves you 25% off the newsstand price.
And what about the CD? You lucky devils, Good Grooming for Girls is available online for $10 (plus $3 shipping), and it’s being sold at Soundscapes (572 College St.) and Rotate This (620 Queen St. W.) in Toronto. The 22-track disc features tracks from Kimya Dawson, Mecca Normal, Arcade Fire, The Blow, Magneta Lane, Jill Barber, Scandalnavia, Republic of Safety, the Sick Lipstick and many, many more. The hand-packaged, limited-edition CD is a fundraiser to help us print the magazine.
That’s all for now. See you on Sunday!
Love,
Team Shameless

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
