​People are writing about Pleasure Pie!

Suzi Grossman, blogger from Suzi Looks at Lots of Art writes:

"With all the media control of nipples, I just had to have this whimsical endorsement of all that is the nipple by Pleasure Pie."

She also included this photo of Pleasure Pie’s Nipples for Everyone! post card:

Thanks Suzi!

Joseph Difazio of the BDC Wire also wrote about Pleasure Pie in his coverage of the Zine Fest. He writes:

"Nicole Mazzeo created her very first zine for the fest, Pleasure Pie, to talk about and illustrate issues regarding consent and body positivity."

He mixed up the name of the zine with the name of the organization, but everything else is on point!

Thanks everyone!

Also, check back soon for news about a Pleasure Pie launch party that’s in the works…

Did you miss the zine fest? Do you live outside of Boston? No problem! The internet and snail mail exist for this exact reason.

I put everything I’ve been working on out into the world yesterday!

I spent the day tabling at New England Zine Fest in Cambridge, MA.

It was an incredibly fulfilling experience! So many people loved my creations. It was really encouraging to get positive feedback. I’ve spent many hours working on all of this, and it meant so much to me that people were passionate about it.

I’m excited to make more things!

7 Awesome Zine Fest Moments:

1. Someone told me that with all the controversy between sex positivity and feminism, my work is “exactly what [they] think sex positivity should look like.”

2. Someone from Papercut Zine Library liked my Choose Your Own Consensual Adventure zine and invited me to table at the Boston Zine Fair in October!

3. Another person from Papercut Zine Library liked the zine and asked if I wanted to donate it to the library for circulation. Yes! I donated one on the spot.

4. Someone from Support Boston asked if they could consign the zine to sell at shows. Yes! I gave them some zines and calendars.

5. Someone called Choose Your Own Consensual Adventure “amazing.” Someone else said that it is “an important thing to exist.”

6. Multiple people who work with youth bought the zine to use in their programs.

7. Someone that works with Bedsider bought the zine as a work purchase. So official! I gave them a free What’s Your Contraceptive Personality quiz because I referenced Bedsider when making it!

​I sold dozens of zines, calendars, quizzes, and postcards! Check back soon for information on buying my stuff online. :)

Yay!

A new zine is in the works! See this and more at my table at the New England Zine Fest on Saturday, August 16 from 12-6 at the Cambridge YMCA.

Update: You can now find this zine on Etsy here!
