Cute. What pops into your mind when you think about that word? Something is cute. Someone is cute. That is cute. You’re probably thinking about actions that lend to something being cute. It’s an interesting word isn’t it? As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone will share the same sentiment in what you think is cute. I think all of YOU are pretty cute.

It explores a different side of being cute, the side full of self-doubt, the agony of selfies, and makeup. The zine look as cuteness as a double-edged sword, mostly the edge that isn’t seen. What does it take to be cute? This zine may not give all the answers, but you will think about it.
