Tearaway
Tearaway Magazine started in the 1980s in Wanganui, using typewriters as its tool. After spending some time in the vegetable garden, Vicki and John Francis had a creative spark and decided to launch a magazine. While there was likely more to their inspiration, let's focus on the exciting part. This magazine aimed to connect with the youth of Aotearoa, especially the generation before the internet took over. It sought to offer guidance on life without sounding preachy. It aimed to share news on fashion and music without being superficial. Most importantly, it would serve as a gathering space for Kiwi teens, sporting their bright high-tops and iconic mullets, to engage in discussions about the topics that truly mattered to them. The magazine was distributed free of charge to high schools across the country, ensuring access for all young readers.

Walking into the Radical Optimism tour, my hopes were super high last night, having constantly heard what an incredible performer Dua Lipa is. But whatever my expectations, I was in no way prepared for the absolute spectacle that Dua Lipa is on tour. With a show split into 5 “acts”, Dua paid homage to all of her past eras, not just her recent work – meaning everyone knew a song and could enjoy it.
