Grimpink in the Wild

Nerf Rebelle

When I did my post on Grimpink last month Gaie Sebold left a comment saying, “It’s funny ‘cos it (could be) true.” Well, scratch the “could be”. The picture above is of the Nerf Rebelle crossbow from a new Hasbro range designed to appeal to female fans of The Hunger Games. They already have a range of bows, of course, but someone in marketing decided that girls would not want one unless they could get one in pink. Jane Martinson has had a rant at The Guardian so that I don’t have to.

By the way, I did talk to Kameron Hurley at World Fantasy. She said she’d rather contribute a story than co-edit. One or two other people expressed interest too. But I have some other WTP projects to get out of the way first.

One thought on “Grimpink in the Wild

  1. I’d edit it… but for the lack of publisher backing, industry know-how, experience, and inappropriate (although perhaps amusing/ironic) gender identity…
