boo! No tricks here. Just a big ole treat for our friends and listeners - thanks for picking up our second-ever issue of Yum Cha zine! Though it feels like this summer might never end (considering it is now early October and still in the mid-eighties here in NYC), we’re more than ready for the best of fall: stuffing our faces with pies, crisp days just cold enough that you don’t feel guilty for sitting on your couch all day, and of course Halloween (also known in our world as Thot Pride Parade, Wig Appreciation Day, or Candygiving). For our fall issue, our cover star is mooncake, and we made sure this zine was just as dense and sweet as the harvest snack. Inside you’ll find seasonally appropriate brain candy, like our last minute costume ideas, Lala’s mom’s famous pecan tassie recipe (it’s a tiny pecan pie!), and our favorite foliage-friendly tunes. We also talked to a couple of painters we admire, tackle the cheongsam trend, and give you part two of our hometown tour. Enjoy!
LOVE,
