Behind The Seams: The Weird and Wonderful World of McGrew Studios

Dec 31, 2024 | slugmag.com | Emma Anderson

Jennifer McGrew is no ordinary professional. On the day we meet for coffee to discuss her business, McGrew Studios, she also has plans to track down a specific piece of band equipment and talk fabric with a fellow artisan. When I ask about her job title, she slides me a glittery business card that reads “Director of Disguises.” It’s a fitting moniker — McGrew does it all, including costume fabrication, multimedia design and mascot creation.

Stay weird.

One that’ll challenge society’s ideas of, not only the sport itself, but that of gender as well.

Second Sunday Tea: Spill That Tea, Sis!

Nov 14, 2024 | slugmag.com | Emma Anderson
