here’s to the lady who launched
La Cieca is proud to relaunch a completely overhauled parterre.com, previously seen in fragments, dribs and drabs, but now here to stay. The new look features a return to the (now) retro punky aesthetic of the early ’90s zine, updated fonts and all sorts of other improvements intended to enhance your reading and commenting pleasure.
Designer of the new parterre look is that Cardin of the CSS Nicholas Scholl, formerly of Trrill and currently busily tweeting from (at?) twitter.com/trrill. He is also a member of the team at Patent Leather Daddy.
Your doyenne welcomes your reactions to the new look.
I miss the black matte backgrounds and the commentaries that seemed to glow from within an inner heart of blind mystic darkness, lit by the supernal, to the sound of … well, whomever you liked.
To the sound of the only opera ever in the history of opera (or the last 12 months, whichever he knows more about) written about an opera singer! Because dead is the new 50… and white backgrounds are the new black backgrounds
I’m not sure when this changed, but I only just noticed that everyone here has stopped whingeing, squeaking, twittering etc. — never thought I’d say this, but I miss it a little. Seriously, though, why are all the pages so short? There’s too much clicking involved, and unless one comes here ten times a day (well, sometimes I do), one will end up missing items and stuff. Bring back the long legato line.
