21.01.2022 FINDING THE LIGHT Shit times, yeah? Don’t worry, this isn’t another virus update. It is however, a magazine update. Due to external pressures and limited resources, we have been forced to push our release date for Issue 3 back to April 5. We do apologise for this but you all know what’s going on right now so we are doing the best we can to keep forging ahead without reducing the quality of our product. We love this li’l mag and we will do whatever it takes to keep it going.... Thanks to those of you who are helping to keep the wheels turning. Because of you, we can see the light. Issue 3 is looking fucking beautiful btw. Just wait til you wrap your eyes ‘round this sucker. ____________________ Image of the Zeplins taken by Ricky Gestro

20.01.2022 ENTHRAL This time last year the UM team were at Dark Mofo festival, enjoying the winter solstice celebrations. Corona thwarted our plans to return this year and along with it, the plans of many couples who were planning to elope with us. So, with no solstice weddings to feature in Issue 4, what on earth will emerge?... Just. You. Wait. _______________ Heart-stopping image @davelepage_

19.01.2022 HOTTER THAN HELL When it came time to put plans in place for their wedding, they firmly agreed on most things, including their ceremony location. They wanted their wedding day to reflect who they are and have a dark and moody atmosphere. Given that Justin is a cremator and Rachel is a badass bitch who dances for satan, Ross Bay Cemetery felt like an obvious choice.

19.01.2022 RE-HITCHED, BITCH. Renewing our vows was a chance to stop. Take stock. Reflect on how far we’ve come as a couple, declare that we’ve kicked that ‘seven-year-itch’ in the balls, to make a new pact that we’re still in it for the long haul and scream our love from the mighty Blue Mountains. We told no one our plans; this moment would be just for us and our daughter. We felt the powerful emotion and intimacy that were absent on our wedding day and we’ve become even more obsessed... with one another. - Jac the Hitcher ____________________ Read more about Jac and her man, Dylan, getting re-hitched in the current Issue which is online and free now.
