Fresh, delicious and nutritious McClung's!

The new issue of McClung’s is born! Shiny and feisty, with that new magazine smell, it is a sight to behold.

But even if you can’t grasp its sleek design between your eager fingertips you can behold the beauty online. Now Ryerson’s magazine for independent, smart, sassy women is available here, to save you the trek to the nearest independent Toronto book store for those too far away.

You can browse or meander any of McClung’s three recent back issues interactively by flipping through each-and-every page and zooming in for close ups on articles and photography.

There are some awesome features about the world of “Wheelin’ Dames” in Toronto’s roller derby leagues, and the ways that intersexuality has become shunned from mainstream society and the medical community in “Charged with Gender”. There is even a She said/She said from a Barbie lover and a naysayer about whether life in plastic is fantastic or an anti-feminist statement. Then for anyone who has ever been curious about checking in with the ladies there is a DIY step-by-step breast self-exam.

You can check all that out and much more at McClung’s lovely new web site. If you thought it was hot before you were right, but now she has some nifty revamped features, like a happening blog and links to McClung's Rebel Grrrl's Music podcasts. McClung's radio features indendent female musicians and bands every Thursday from 5-6 p.m. on Ryerson's Spiritlive.net radio. So go take a gander and a listen and be sure to read the Winter 2010 issue of McClung’s on virtual newsstands now.
