i love aging! is a publication celebrating the art of dress as an ongoing experience, because fashion is FUN and your authentic style is something to be celebrated.
You won't find us on the socials* (unless someone shares about this magic), but you will find us on the comforting, tangible pages of a MAGAZINE, the lost art which brought so much joy and inspiration to us as pre-internet youngsters growing up in the (in general) cultural wasteland of the midwest.
why i love aging!?
because it means we aren't dead!
stay in the loop to know when issue one
of i love aging! is available by
🔥🔥signing up for the double gemini newsletter here🔥🔥
*yes, you may be wondering, "how do I find out when the issue drops if you’re not on the sacred socials?"
The best way to know about magazine updates is to subscribe to the editor's Double Gemini newsletter... or you can follow @stainedghost on Instagram where we will be sharing the bare minimum announcement content because after spending almost 15 years giving away our beautiful creative genius for free to make tech bros more money, we are working to minimize how much we continue to contribute to these platforms. Because that shit sucks.
We’re (sort of ) doing this the old-fashioned way, so tell your friends and stay tuned to learn more!
