Hello.

We've been inspired by Highschool Hellcats this issue. From kitten-esque fashion to smoking wall hangings, we profile the geeks and goons that are turning us on.

The latest fashion shoot channels Lolita rebels and nocturnal bogans, whilst teensploitation films of the 50's gets thoroughly examined in Soundtrack to Parental Angst.

As the Spring weather finally greets us, we hope this inspires you to stay out just that little bit later and get into some boozy adventures to make your mother gasp.
