Dizzy Up The Girl Cover Model
Namuncura Mckoy
Mr Dizzy Ink, Lord of the Prints, Paper Papa... kidding, just Craig Proud. I'm lucky enough to run the creative print studio Dizzy Ink, whilst also making Notts Zine Fest happen each year AND run Notts Zine Library.
Time, as usual! We're always gratefully swamped in projects! We're buuuuuuuuuuusy!!! Also, collaging so many different styles and elements together can be difficult - they've been created to be strong in and of themselves so putting them all together can be hard as they all want to clash.
Well the second cover I designed was meant to be April 2020 to celebrate our five year birthday, and that kinda went out the window for obvious reasons. It was about a self directed project I've been running around fruit sticker design so it had to be printed really to reflect the physical nature of stickers. We parked it and will be doing it April 2025 for our TEN years of business - how wild!
Zines are great, they're personal publications directly from the makers. These makers are extremely talented at writing, drawing, designing and publishing content on niche topics often overlooked by mainstream media. Zines are powerful statements and honestly so utterly enjoyable to experience. If you want to keep up-to-date with zine happenings around the city follow @dizzy.ink @nottszinefest @nottszinelibrary on Instagram!
When she passed away in the mid-'90s, Krissy was at the top of her modeling career. She had appeared in dozens of fashion shows with her big sister and landed coveted magazine covers and campaigns for brands like Cover Girl.
It was Niki who found her sister unconscious at the family's home in Florida in July of 1995. Despite efforts to revive her, she was pronounced dead at the hospital. The cause was a rare heart condition called Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia or ARVD.
According to the American Heart Association, ARVD occurs if the muscle tissue in the right ventricle dies and is replaced with scar tissue, which can ultimately disrupt the heart's electrical signals and cause arrhythmias.
If you have symptoms of shortness of breath, if you have palpitations, if you feel dizzy the first place you have to think is your heart. So what I tell everyone is don't diagnose yourself, just go to the doctor," she added.

The idea for this website began about 7 years ago when I was first diagnosed with chronic vestibular migraine (you can read my full story at that link). I quickly realized there weren't any resources for following a migraine diet and also for people who had this specific type of migraine.
When you're just starting a migraine diet, you're usually not feeling up for the amount of work it takes to implement into your life. I knew there had to be an easier way for people, and I missed being able to go to my favorite food blogs and cookbooks to make what I wanted. Not only that, but I wanted people with vestibular migraine to not feel so alone on this journey. There are many migraine websites out there, but very few spoke about vestibular migraine.
This was also during a time that I lost my job because of my illness. As someone who has always identified heavily with career, I felt totally confused on what to do next. This state of unknown made me depressed and I knew I had to find a new purpose. So I bought the website domain, learned photography and how to write recipes, and researched and spoke with doctors about migraine treatments, especially for those with vestibular migraine. I even tried a lot of new treatments on myself, just to see how they worked! Some of them which originated from my own experimentation and positive results have become common recommendations now, like magnesium threonate.
My love for cooking began in college, but when I started my first job away from home and friends, I spent many nights alone learning new recipes. I was self-taught by reading cookbooks and experimenting with recipes from Ina Garten, Julia Child, Martha Stewart, Bon Appetit and Deb Perelman from Smitten Kitchen. As I became a better cook, I furthered my education in cooking techniques by taking classes around the world, with culinary arts programs in Dallas, Texas, The Cooks Atelier in Beaune, France and Alexia Cooking School in Italy.
My first cookbook, The Dizzy Cook, was published February 2020 and has been considered an Amazon Bestseller in the Pain Management category and has 700+ reviews. It is available at bookstores everywhere. My second cookbook, The Mediterranean Migraine Diet, was done in partnership with neurologist Dr. Shin Beh, and is also available everywhere.
I currently live in Dallas, TX with my husband Casey and two dogs, Ellie and Cocoa, a 2 year old boy and a baby girl. I went through years of infertility and recurrent miscarriage before we landed on IVF, which brought my amazing son. Our daughter came as a surprise! She spent time in the NICU before finally coming home with us 3 months ago.
Today this website has bloomed into a bestselling cookbook, sold on Amazon and through The Dizzy Cook Shop (purchasing here supports me and this site directly) and has over 300,000 page views a month. I also run The Dizzy Cook Recipe Chat which helps people with making my recipes and following the diet directly.
As a follow up to a migraine elimination diet, patients need something that is healthy and sustainable to support their brain health. This is why I partnered with my neurologist Dr. Shin Beh to bring you this book that focuses on what foods boost brain health and support the migraine patient in their healing journey. It's sold on Amazon as well as The Dizzy Cook Shop.
Much of my time is spent volunteering and organizing events for the Vestibular Disorders Association and Miles for Migraine as a Social Events team leader and patient board advisor. I helped organize VEDA's Life Rebalanced Conference, on-boarded vestibular ambassadors, and written informative articles for their website. As part of the first Life Rebalanced Chronicles cast, I shared about my journey with vestibular migraine.
I love collaborating with brands and companies I respect and believe in. Please contact me at ali...@thedizzycook.com if you're interested in working together and I will send over my media kit.
I currently don't accept guests posts unless I personally invite you to write for the website. I also don't allow sharing or copying of my photography or recipes without explicit permission. Please email me if you're interested in this kind of arrangement.
Dizzy has three main attires. Her black dress in Guilty Gear X has a long skirt that reaches up to the ankle, low laced off-shoulder neckline and fitter sleeves. Her usual outfit, the one she wears during battle, is a tight, provocative suit, with two belts crossed over barely covering her chest area with her midriff exposed, and white, puffy sleeves cover her arms. In Revelator, a buttoned shirt-like panel is added for a more conservative look, and feather-like plates replace the puffy sleeves. Her third outfit is her Jellyfish Pirates uniform that includes a short sailor top and jeans shorts. Her boots are the same.
As a half-Gear, despite her chronological age, Dizzy has matured at a rapid rate. Given her kind's superior ability to absorb and process information, by the age of three, she is essentially equivalent to an adult human,[7] mentally older than a 20-year-old.[5] Gentle and kind towards those she encounters, Dizzy has a motherly demeanor[11] coupled with an honest heart and a pure mind.[7]
The details of Dizzy's birth are unclear, only that her mother is Justice[8] and that she was born in 2177[note 1] while Justice was still sealed.[note 2] In any case, Dizzy was found as an infant and raised by an elderly, childless couple.[11] After six months, the other villagers became afraid due to Dizzy's accelerated growth, and even more so after she grew wings and a tail.[15] As it became clear she was at least part Gear,[7] the village believed her to be a "monster" and tried to dispose of her.[11]
To protect her, the couple hid Dizzy away in the Forest of Demons.[7] At first they would visit her, but they gradually became distant and never came back, and Dizzy got used to living alone. One day, she befriended Josephine, a blind girl who thought Dizzy to be an angel. Dizzy let her visit all she wanted, but told her not to bring strangers.[11]
Sometime in 2181,[16] though, Josephine and "Kliff" entered the woods as they ran away from Venom, who wanted to kidnap Josephine in order to lure Faust out. After Josephine got hurt, Dizzy and Kliff took her to Faust's clinic, and Kliff revealed to Dizzy their real name, Testament, and that they, too, were a Gear. Faust successfully treated Josephine and finally cured her blindness, but she noticed Dizzy's tail. Aware of Dizzy's return, the villagers burned Faust's clinic in an attempt to kill her, and Necro and Undine retaliated despite Dizzy's pleas. Testament thus vowed to protect Dizzy and subdued her. No one was seriously hurt, but Josephine slapped Dizzy, calling her a demon, and then told her to return to the forest. Saddened, Dizzy left accompanied by Testament before she could see Josephine's change of heart thanks to Faust's words.[11]
Following the incident, around October,[note 3] the world learns of her existence,[17] and the government makes several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate her.[16] As captain of the IPF, Ky Kiske comes to the forest to investigate those responsible for the announcement.[17] Questioning his sense of justice after the last tournament,[16] Ky Kiske comes to meet her; Dizzy asks him if being prepared to protect someone means being prepared to hurt another. Ky answers that pain is intrinsic to a human world, and so he questions the value of power. Dizzy laments not having a strong heart like his, and Ky decides to fight her, showing her that there are humans who can handle her power.[14]
