Frozen Charlotte corpse doll. So-called after a girl who froze to death being driven to a ball. Wildly popular with C19th children as they only cost a penny & came in their own tiny coffins - with a message. They were also baked into cakes as a surprise.

the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.
