DESCRIPTION:With a new issue, “Fake,” set to hit newsstands, Bitch: Feminist 
 Response to Pop Culture will be hosting a night of local, feminist-friendly 
 talent on Saturday, October 16th. The Fake party will benefit the 
 independent, nonprofit publication.  “This party works in the same way as 
 our magazine: it’s important for our ideas to be out there, to interact 
 with our readers, and to honor artists who represent what we find exciting 
 and interesting about current culture,” said Publisher Lisa Jervis.  
 Named 2004’s Best Girl Band by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Lipstick 
 Conspiracy are plotting to persuade the world to look beyond gender, via 
 sassy power-pop and a glamour-laden show. The inspired rock of the Cold War 
 proclaims that revolution isn't quiet.\n These two groups will be joined by 
 three Mills music students, Lizzy and the Redbirds, performing 60s girl 
 group songs, with an intimate and original approach.  The Fake party will 
 be held at the hip and historical Mile High Club, a perfect fit for one of 
 Oakland’s long-running, independent publishing luminaries.  Since 1996, 
 Bitch has been a witty, vital voice in feminist and pop-culture criticism, 
 looking at everything from books to billboards to bra ads through an 
 analytical-yet-fun, sharp-yet-sympathetic lens and celebrating the feminist 
 culture-makers who are transforming the media with their unique 
 contributions.   Further explaining Bitch’s place in our media-driven 
 world, Editorial/Creative Director Andi Zeisler remarked: “Bitch puts a 
 lucid, balanced face on feminism for devoted social-justice crusaders, 
 TV-obsessed couch potatoes, and everyone in between.”  The spanking-new 
 Fake issue (Fall 2004) is a characteristically chock-full 96 pages of 
 interviews, essays, and opinions. We chat with crusading comedian Janeane 
 Garofalo of Air America; Jennifer Abbott, co-director of award-winning 
 documentary The Corporation; and local gangsta-rap upstart JenRO. 
 Elsewhere, senior editor Rachel Fudge examines the marketing of ironic 
 hipster-racism by Urban Outfitters and Abercrombie & Fitch, and contributor 
 Shauna Swartz delves uneasily into the world of online porn 
 "humilitainment." Oh, and we all celebrate the joy of faux-from hair 
 extensions to Space Food Sticks-in The Fake List.  About B-Word Worldwide: 
 Nonprofit B-Word Worldwide, Inc. DBA Bitch Publications, publishes a 
 quarterly print magazine entitled Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture. 
 With more than 150,000 readers per issue, Bitch exists as a major fixture 
 in modern feminism and independent media.  \n
