Years ago, when BUTT magazine first came out, there was supposed to be a lesbian equivalent called KUTT, but I never saw one and it might have just turned out be a rumor. However, the audience is there for a smart, real, alternative magazine by and about queer female artists. Enter Girls Like Us, a mag based in the Netherlands that is anti-vanilla, pro-edge and basically as cool as it gets. I was window shopping over at Chicago Comics on Clark on Monday, and somehow, they got a shipment of back issues, including issue #1!! Head over right now for the out of print editions featuring Peaches, Katie Sketch, and other fine female artists. The current issue has a brief interview with Faye Driscoll, a choreogapher whose work can be seen with Chicago’s Same Planet Different World Dance, a fresh modern dance company.

Kutt was a real but short-lived mag put together by Jessica Gysel who is now the editor of Girls Like Us. Kutt was hard to find… I looked around for it for ages and only found one issue.
