My friend says:
"It's like Vogue had a baby with Monty Python"
VOGOFF is 122 pages of the whimsy, wit, and weirdness of women of a certain age living under lockdown. Art, photos, articles - so much stuff and nonsense.
Launched in 2012, VOGOFF is renowned for its highest standards of baselessness among discerning immature people (40+).
LAUGH! - the Mayo Clinic says it's good for you.
Below is the pdf. <<Sorry, this is no longer available>>

Special thanks to Sarah @farkingdelightful on Instagram for the work she did helping me get this together and to Shelley, Forest City Fashionista @fcfashionista, for her ongoing support of VOGOFF. And thanks to everyone who joined this time. You guys are awesome!
<<SORRY, SOLD OUT!!>>
Now you can also purchase a PRINT VERSION of this issue from the publisher, Blurb, who will ship it to you direct. It's $27.99 (Cdn) or about $21 US, plus shipping. This is the publisher's fee plus $1 for me to help with the next issue. I chose the best paper and cover so it feels deeeeluxe. Hahaha.
Wow, this is a feast of entertainment for our covid secluded, recluded, deluded world! It's going to take me some time to look at all this - time is something I have plenty of. Brilliant, Mel!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Val, for your awesome contribution. xox
DeleteOh my, it's a feast beyond all measure. And I have all the time in the world to enjoy every morsel. It definitely needs to go on the news stands for a big price, bay-bee. Maybe by subscription? I'm in. And you are out of this world, Mel. Woo-hoo. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a better partner for wing-walking than you, Pao. A big price would be wonderful. And subscriptions, yeeeeah-ah. We need a sponsor!! If you know anyone, please send him/her my way. I'd love to do a new issue. This one is sold out. Heh. Thanks for your incredible contribution. Priceless.
DeleteHahahahaha! LOVED this! So many pieces stood out, the wing walking, the power helmuts (truly this IS a great idea!), the soil sofa, the pug on PU (hello cutie!), the exercise routine and then Dr. Slumptz getting caught off guard by selfie paparazzi, pickle in a ditch (why didn't I think of that?) no wonder you stay so thin...you're eating electric pineapples. And those fierce murder hags! My new shoe hoarding heros.
ReplyDeleteI want a herpes hat and some maraschino boots.
So fun seeing the REAL Judith, binging on popcorn and Netflix. Haha! I'll be calling Spacegal Spiffy and her sidekick the next time I need help which will probably be after I've graduated up to practicing Whirling Diva and slammed myself into several walls.
This was delightful! Thanks for putting a huge smile on my face this morning! This is your best issue ever.
Suzanne
Suzanne, you have been such a huge supporter of all my creative projects and I'm glad you were able to contribute to this one. Your wedding photo cracked me up!!! I hope your Whirling Diva moves are going well. xox
DeleteWoo!! I can't wait to sit down and read this properly...then send it out to everyone I know!!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazeballs for doing this - what a TON of work, Mel!
Love it, love it, love it!
XOS
I'm was really lucky to have Sarah help out with this issue. Tons of work but the pleasure and distraction factors kept me at it. Again, you are awesome. Thanks. xox
DeleteAmazing! I love it! So smart & funny; very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you liked it!! Thanks for reading.
DeleteThis is so Fabulous just as you are as well!!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Gosh, thanks. Hahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteWell done. Loved seeing some faces from the past. I will have to try harder for inclusion in the next issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Tami - it was great for me too seeing so many familiar faces again. I'll look for your submission for the next one!
DeleteThis was great fun to work on; thank you for providing a project to work on during lockdown. The finished product is all kinds of awesome - so much talent here! Thanks for all the hours of creating, agonizing, and farking that you put into this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support, Shelley, through this whole process. You are such an amazing friend. Your contribution was perfect and summed up the cartoonish/alien situation we all find ourselves in. With the help of SpaceGal Spiffy and Spacekitty Sylvester, we shall prevail!
DeleteI envie your creative and original brain. What a entertainment!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this entertained you. It's something I had to do to keep busy and stop thinking about the world, know what I mean?
DeleteI envie your creative and original brain. What a entertainment!
ReplyDeleteSO FARKING GREAT!!!!!!! xxox
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne!! The many faces of Anne is an outstanding contribution. Thanks for all the time and care you put into your submission. xox
DeleteOmg, this is amazing! It's a fashion magazine zine!! And apparently there are other issues that had somehow escaped me. I bow down to your absurdist, avant garde brilliance. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not bad at absurd - it's real life that perplexes. Heh. Thanks for checking out all of these issues!!
DeleteThe BEST! Your brain is a national treasure. Oscar-worthy, I say, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Patti, you are awesome. Thanks so much. xox
DeleteYesss!!! I have opened it and will enjoy it during my lunchbreak later!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee hee. I hope it doesn't put you off your lunch! Thanks, Kezzie.
DeleteHurray! So glad to know you are well and thriving.
ReplyDeleteI'm hanging in there. I hope you are too!
DeleteThis is terrific. It is too late this evening to give it my full attention, but i will be back for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Hi Greetje! I'm a bit slow in replying... Hahaha. Well, the magazine is sold out for now - I hope you got a chance to see it. But wait for the new issue - maybe. Perhaps.
DeleteI finally read it. It was a damned good read. Had so much laughs. Thank you all.
DeleteGreetje
PS too bad my menopause is over. Would have loved to make money with a power helmet.
I'm glad you liked it, Greetje! We have similar tastes in humour I think. That power helmet is genius, right!! I don't suppose if I put an antenna on my bike helmet it would work...
DeleteLoved it all, but mostly the fact that almost all the articles included someone drinking adult beverages! To excess!!! Makes me feel less alone. lol
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! I hadn't realized. And even if the beverages were not visible, their effect is always evident in the content. You are never alone, darling!
DeleteOverwhelming Fabulousness! And So Much Fun!!
ReplyDeleteLove it all!!
besos
Thanks, Monica. It was a blast to make. I'm so glad you like it!
DeleteI bought three copies of it in real physical print, and they are GORGEOUS, Mel, You done good. I've got a spread and am tootin' about it on today's post, plus I stole your picture and put it in the sidebar so I can have it forever and love it and hug it and call it George.
ReplyDeleteI still have your Yam magazines. When we can safely visit, I'll bring them! For now, masks on, baby.
Thanks so much, Sheila. Three copies?! Woo hoo! Your piece was excellent - thanks so much.
