This Lips Tumblr will serve as a tool to share news and information about the production of the zine, as well as images, articles, and literature to help spark creativity!
Lips Richmond is an independent magazine, or zine, distributed bi-annually in Richmond, VA. Lips is a fun and sexy alternative to popular magazines that objectify bodies and fail to speak honestly about sex. The pages are filled with artwork, doodles, poems, stories and essays about gender identity and sex submitted by women and sexual minorities living in the South.
When we encourage sexual expression, we begin to paint a more complete picture of sex and love. We hope readers will learn from others, and use this information to work towards achieving acceptance of self and others as well as healthy relationships based on mutual understanding and pleasure.

“WHAT ARE YOU?”
I’m human, thanks for asking—
my heartbeat is nothing extraordinary.I’m a woman, thanks for asking—
I store all women’s insecurities in these thighs.I’m a feminist, thanks for asking—
my hips are a Women’s Movement.I’m Italian, thanks for asking—
don’t upset the olive grove on my skin.“Oh, I thought you were black.”
