EGIRL Magazine #1 ed. by Katherine Dee
“What is the egirl? [This] print magazine puts it all in a timeline. Writing by internet culture reporter and amateur anthropologist Katherine Dee. Supported by sumptuous illustrations from Kristina Tzekova, Blaise Larmee, Bubbles, Raighne.
Issue #001 is an interactive timeline beginning in 1982. Minitel launches in France, where the seeds of cybersex and electronic romances are planted, and eventually blossom. We time travel, meeting early webcam girls like Jennicam, migrating to and away from Yahoo! Groups and LiveJournal communities and Tumblr and MySpace, finally, ending in 2024, when the $egirl token is launched and Hegelian E-girl Council is formed. Along the way, we encounter #GamerGate, and /r9k/, ASMR, cosplay, and TikTok, and meet characters like Bailey Jay, Belle Delphine, and “CLASSY” Fred Blassie.”
