In This Issue:
One of the most common questions we receive at frankie is: “How do you choose which stories to tell?”
It’s a tough one to answer because, honestly, there are a million things we think about when putting a new issue together, but here are just a few.
Sometimes we tell a story just for the fun of it – the topic sparked our curiosity and down the research rabbit hole we tumbled. That was the case for our comb (sorry) through the long history of wigs on page 21. Now who said education had to be boring?! (I’m currently obsessed with RuPaul’s Drag Race as a result of researching this one.)
Many articles arise because we’re passionate about a particular subject, which is exactly why we asked self-professed fangirl Freya Bennett to explore the importance of fandom culture on page 79. (I guess you could say we’re passionate about…

Dear frankie, Years ago I read an article in my mum’s frankie magazine (issue 109) about a Victorian underwater hockey player who was competing for Australia. I had never heard of underwater hockey before and I was instantly intrigued. I had just left my synchronised swimming team and was looking for a new water sport. I asked my mum if I could give it a go and unbelievably there was a club playing right near my house. I was 14 at the time. Four years later, I am now about to represent Australia as the captain of the Under-19 Women’s team at the World Championships in Turkey! I wanted to reach out and thank frankie for celebrating and promoting such diverse, unusual and wonderful pockets of life. If not…

POSITIVE PENNANTS
Aside from delivering a dose of kitschy nostalgic charm, these pennants by SAGE x CLARE also inject a hefty heaping of positivity. Phrases like “stay wild” and “be kind” may be simple, but sometimes a little jolt is all you need to turn that frown upside down. And on those days when even a positive affirmation doesn’t do the trick, you can try aggressively waving the flag up and down until the rage within you literally runs out of energy. Nab one for 49 bucks at sageandclare.com
LITTLE MEMORIES
There was a peaceful period of time in the early 2000s when physical photo albums coexisted alongside MySpace. Family and travel snaps went in the album; pouty selfies went online. Oh, sweet balance! When we saw this mini album…

While some of us only feel soccer fever whenever the Matildas or Socceroos are carving it up, for others soccer is as much about community as competition.
Rain or shine, every week on a Wednesday evening up to 100 members of the Spikey Dykes descend on an inner north Melbourne/Naarm soccer pitch, ready to play.
The social soccer group, started in October 2024 by Maïa Mattisse, was born from a desire to create a space to hang out in a free and accessible way. Thanks to word of mouth and a strong Instagram presence, Spikey Dykes has grown quickly, welcoming “dykes and sapphics of all expressions, with all skill levels,” says club president Jaiya Aryal.
They don’t play “typical soccer”, explains Jaiya. While a standard soccer team fields 11 players…

WIG LIKE AN EGYPTIAN If we listed all of the beauty innovations that ancient Egyptians came up with, we’d be here all day. So let’s just talk about the one that matters here: wigs. Worn by the most important people in ancient Egyptian society, these fancy head coverings signalled authority, could be worn for certain duties and ceremonies, and protected wearers’ heads from the blazing sun and heat. They were also nifty for preventing head lice, as the natural hair underneath would be cut short or shaved off entirely.
The British Museum houses a wig from the 18th Dynasty (1539 to 1292 BCE) that belonged to a male official. It’s made of human hair coated in beeswax and resin, and consists of two parts – a pile of tight, light-brown…
fairy tales and fire
Tell us about your art background. I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, where I first began learning ceramics. During my studies there, I explored many different techniques and started turning my imagination and little doodles into three-dimensional clay forms. That was when I really fell in love with clay as a material that could bring ideas to life.
When I moved to the United Kingdom at 23 to study my MA in ceramics at the Royal College of Art, my practice became much freer and more playful. I had space to experiment, make mistakes and develop my own visual language. By my second year, I began creating work inspired by Korean mythology and my South Korean heritage, combining these stories with a joyful, personal aesthetic.

emotional labour
I recently had an exciting phone interview with a marketing agency in Melbourne/Naarm’s north. After many exhausting years of freelancing, I decided it was time to go corporate. The interview went well and the hirer appeared impressed by my freelancing portfolio – an admiration I wish could be passed to my mother who still wishes I had just finished my teaching degree.
An hour or so after the phone call, I was asked to complete a task. Instead of simply sending through a Google document with my answers, I created a 13-page marketing strategy for a potential client. In dating terms, the hirer and I had ‘matched’ and now I wanted to seal the deal by impressing someone I hadn’t met yet. After that, I was offered another interview… In…

I was making a prose-poetry chapbook for my Honours in creative writing and the idea that the project centred on was what I called “the romance of being not in love”.
It’s when you have that feeling of romance in a situation that no one would normally associate with that word. It was kind of the main driving force in my life at the time, because everything was filtered through the project – I was constantly thinking of things through the lens of the idea of romance, but it was a realigning of that idea. Like, seeing an eclipse and there’s no one around to talk to about it, and so you’re just experiencing it by yourself. Or when somebody leaves you an answering-machine message and it’s just the sound…
i love my shop
Where are you located? We’re at 287 Wellington Street, Collingwood, Melbourne. It’s a neighbourhood we really love. There’s such a great creative energy around here – the art, the culture, the kind of people it attracts. It felt like a natural fit for what we’re trying to do with Chotto Motto.
How did Chotto Motto start? We started in 2019 with the idea of creating a one-of-a-kind Japanese restaurant that would also showcase Shōwa era Japanese vintage items. I’m a massive collector of that stuff, and honestly if I bring any more of it home I’ll start to look a bit crazy, so it’s great to have a place where it can all live and be appreciated.

JACK VENING RECKONS PLATES ARE GREAT.
One of my favourite moments in any piece of fiction occurs in the short story “I Bought a Little City” by Donald Barthelme. The narrator (new owner of the eponymous little city) is touring one of the nice new parks he’s just created when he witnesses a man playing the bongos. “I hate bongo drums,” he says. “I started to tell him to stop playing those goddamn bongo drums, but then I said to myself, ‘No, that’s not right. You got to let him play his goddamn bongo drums if he feels like it. It’s part of the misery of democracy, to which I subscribe.’”
This line bubbles to the surface any time I’m exposed to what I would call my own personal miseries…
