ABOUT EMILY AUGUST:

Please visit emilyaugust.com.

Writer, photographer, musician, obsessor of fashion, champion of plus sized fashion, creator of feathery things, collector of books and records and cassette tapes, zine collaborator, cat financier, seam ripper, nostalgia junky, and thinker of silly thoughts.

I have a lot that makes me myself. One of the main things is that I collect nice vintage things and realize that I can't keep them all. Another is that I have been learning to create rather than consume, and I recently quit my full-time job to pursue something more rewarding and creative.

I grew up on the Jersey Shore, and currently live in beautiful, historic downtown Jersey City, ten minutes outside of Manhattan. I work in Greenwich Village in a setting that allows me time to pursue other creative interests and find fabulous vintage wares. I am disappointed at the cost differential of thrift stores in the city compared to back home, but I am determined to keep it up.

About my music and zines: I have a little handmade CD-r EP you can buy in my shop, that was put out by Monotone Records. Please visit Monotone Records to find out about more great lo-fi, home-recorded music.
