LETTER WE ♥ THIS MONTH Dear It GiRL, I first read your magazine while waiting at the doctor’s office. At first, I was complaining that it was taking too long for it to be our turn. Then I found your magazine, and I didn’t want to go in when the doctor called my name! I wanted to take the magazine with me, but Mum said I couldn’t and that she would buy me one on the way home – and she did! It was a whole different issue too! I buy It GiRL all the time now – I love it. ISMAY, 10, VIA EMAIL To It GiRL, Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVED the Labubu story in the last issue of It GiRL! I’m obsessed with Labubu, but I only have…

WET AND WILD I was on the bus on the way to school during a really bad storm. There was some flooding on the roads, so we all had to get off the bus up the road from the school, which was terrible because it was raining really heavily and so, so windy. I was walking to school as fast as I could, trying to stay as dry as possible, when all of a sudden a huge gust of wind came, turned my umbrella inside out, and kind of pushed me backwards. Not only was it completely embarrassing, but I ended up soaking wet and it took ages to dry. Gross. CAMILLE, 11, QLD MESSY SURPRISE We were on a school excursion, waiting for the train at Central Station. I…
