2009- to quote Twinkle and Tinsel’s recent show- ‘it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.’
Last year was a hard one for many. Every letter of the celebrity alphabet took a hit, the recession claimed our jobs and our spending power, more troops were lost in Iraq, it seemed the year had been under some bad stars or planetary eclipse- if you believe in such things. Jack battled on through it’s own fair share of knocks, as did the team. But, like the troupers we are, we took each knock on the chin, then asked for another and powered on to the end of 09 which thankfully was not completely devoid of highlights.
On the positive side we came back into A4 print, an event punctuated by what many described as a New York squat party. We managed to avoid a night in A&E after that pesky port-a-loo door incident. John and Laura joined the team, James left it – sort of. We had a brilliant exhibition full of our photographers and contributing artists, recorded our own Christmas song, made a lot of new friends including one who insisted on bringing us cooked pumpkin & chicken and one who liked to talk about transvestites. And lastly but by no means least, we welcomed Josh Spero as Contributing Features Editor and Aradia Crockett as Contributing Fashion Editor.
So onto this year where we will be reaching even more of you thanks to your stockist suggestions. A full list of stockists can be found on the website www.whosjack.org (which has had its own revamp) or in our back pages.
We have good feelings about 2010. Happy New Year from all of us at Jack.
