Oh, Butt…

Posted by on December 15 at 12:50 PM

In my column this week I write that in Portland “the bookstores carry things that you’d never find here,” and one of my examples is Amsterdam’s BUTT magazine, which I bought at Powell’s and which Elliott Bay Book Company, University Book Store, Third Place Books, Barnes & Noble, SPU bookstore, SU bookstore, Broadway News, Bulldog News, and Left Bank Books don’t carry. (God love my intern.)

But! But but but! It has come to my attention that Bailey/Coy Books on Broadway has been carrying BUTT for years. Also, Toys in Babeland carries it, and Confounded Books carries it sometimes.

Anyway, more about BUTT: If you’re a fan of the Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears — who by the way interviews Justin Bond (AKA Kiki, of Kiki & Herb) in this week’s Stranger — here is a BUTT magazine piece about him from February 2004. And here is a slideshow of pictures of his butt.

Does Bailey/Coy -- or any book or magazine store closer than Counter Media -- carry $pread magazine ("by sex workers, for sex workers")? I'm not a sex worker, but I liked the two copies I bought last time I was in Portland and have been looking for issue 3 here in Seattle.

I am almost certain that both BUTT and $PREAD can be found at Toys in Babeland.

The best way to make sure you'll always find $pread and to help keep the magazine alive at the same time, is to subscribe directly at the website. Check out www.spreadmagazine.org/subscribe.
Thanks!
