Inkabilly the Emporium for all things awesome .. according to Burlesque Baby Magazine!

By Lee Franklin

We are super chuffed by the article written about us by Burlesque Baby!

A few weeks ago, Sharon Kay (previously of Milk Cow Magazine) got in touch with us to say she had discovered us on Instagram and was so impressed that she wanted to write about us for her new venture Burlesque Baby, which is a fabulous online vintage, alternative and modern news magazine covering all aspects of not only Burlesque culture, but the Rockabilly and Retro Pin Up scene (generally all the lovely mid century vintage-inspired genres!).

This week she published this article about our business called Inkabilly the Emporium for all things awesome ... which ... well, quite honestly made us blush!

Go check out this great magazine!

Hi Scott, I’m afraid I’m not going to be of much help … sorry. I think actual paper magazines are becoming a thing of the past unfortunately … but I have found Atomic magazine which you can order via Blurb.co.uk

Hello,
I used to have the magazine, Vintage milkcow.
I used to really enjoy this.
Is there any other magazines, which may have replaced this?
As in the paper based format?

Many thanks,
Scott
