"let's get lost" by victoria yee howe

Pretty engaging freight-hopping stories by a short young Chinese woman. Kind of bougie, too. But all this freight-hopping stuff is becoming just another bougie 'extreme' sport. She's an ex-sex worker, too, which is sort of hot, I suppose. Both the freight-hopping and the sex work seem to stem from some kind of Chinese macho thing.

She says a couple catty things about her freight-hopping buddy, Cameron, which is kind of sickening; it's like she's just using him.

She's into making artistic/artisan cakes these days. What is it about Asians and super sweet desserts? I used to go to a cyber cafe in Allston, MA, that was run by Koreans and frequented by Asians college students and they were always having these big social get-togethers where each kid would have a big goey dessert in front of them. They were very loud and really enjoyed themselves. I admired that and was jealous.

The 2 or 3 photos in this zine weren't that interesting, and $6 seems kind of steep. Just the kind of thing for a bougie old man like me to piss money away on, eh? And they ought to change the name of Microcosm to Bougiecosm.
