THEME 2 and holiday fun!

Hello Loves,


We're back, and jumping into the New Year with our second issue, fresh goals and some tricks up our sleeves. Thank you to everyone who contributed to Mad at Monday. Our first issue was a great success!


messy magazine is here to present you with your next challenge: our theme for issue two. We hope you are up for it, getting stretched out, warmed up and prepared!

Issue two's theme was created over many a gchat about the year end, the year beginning, all the fun looking back and forward that comes with it, the likes and the dislikes. But issue two is not about 2008, nor is it about 2009 (but if can be if you want!). It's about what you love, what you like, what you lost or wish you can lose.


So here is the official title for issue numero two:
Love it. Like it. Lose it.


Tell us anything you wish, superficial or profound, anything and everything goes. As usual, we want you, your thoughts, and your friends. So spill it.


For more information on submission types, our quick refresher can be found on our website. Go to www.messymagazine.org and click on submit for more details!


Submissions for Issue two, Love it. Like it. Lose it. are due Monday, December 21, 2008 by midnight. Please send works to info@messymagazine.org or submit online at our website.


Issue two will be out January 15, 2009 in an email box near you!


As always, if you have any questions please contact us!
