i started pink poodle zine in the summer of 2000 as an outlet for mixing my art and writing. it's been through a lot and has come along way. pink poodle is nomadic on its own and likes spending time in far-off places like zinefests and shows and backpockets. there IS a mascot in the form of a wind-up pink poodle toy, and glamourous people, like the world's greatest bif naked, scotty sexx, gillian hanna, and doug fury have all begged to have their picture taken with her. despite all this, the pink poodle mascot is quite humble and likes having her picture taken with "common people too", she says.
