Kiss Machine's 5-year anniversary "disposable" issue will be flying through the air to subscribers and newsstands mid-April. Contributors explore obsessive consumption, the glamorous cultural industry, extinction, garbage and fashion. Get performance instructions for your next shopping excursion, explore the disposable ages of woman, and read self-negating theory. The issue's framed by minimalist art by Vancouver's Sonja Ahlers (author of Temper, Temper and Fatal Distractions).
