I'm Worried About Wine Moms

“Wine Mom” home decor has always both unsettled and fascinated me, particularly as a queer and trans person who grew up in a region known for wine tourism. I've gotten in the habit of documenting examples I run into in the wild as a sort of... casual cultural anthropology project? Give this zine a look if you'd like to join me in observing and reflecting on Wine Mom culture, and contextualizing it within a wider home decor genre I'd describe as "cis core."

This zine is a slightly deeper dive into a premise that I initially explored in a TikTok video, expanded to incorporate some of the additions and responses I received in the video comments.

Download options include a PDF formatted for digital reading, and a PDF that can print easily on one sheet of 8.5"x11" paper and fold into a small physical zine. If you like, you can check out this article for instructions on hold to fold one page zines.

A limited risograph print run of this zine, featuring red and orchid inks, will be available sometime in January 2021!
