“I completed my first issue on the road, doing conference calls in sound check, writing while we were driving,” she said. While Barber-Way has mostly been able to keep the demands of her two careers from colliding, last September she took on the executive editor job just as White Lung was about to head off for tour. A critically acclaimed force, they interrogate society’s failures through Barber-Way’s full-throated screams and croons. Publicly, Barber-Way is better known for her job as the lead singer of White Lung, a band that emerged from Vancouver’s DIY punk scene. Before joining the staff, she had worked for 10 years as a freelance writer, authoring an advice column for the Vancouver Courier about sex and relationships, interviewing people like rapper Danny Brown and adult impresario Larry Flynt, and exploring topics like anal weed lube and pro-anorexia websites. “She’s got inventive ways to show off her vagina,” Oldmen marveled.īarber-Way, 32, took over Penthouse’s top editorial position in the fall of 2017, promoted after a short stint as its senior editor. “It’s also quite vagina-based,” Oldmen replied. “There’s not a lot cute or pretty faces,” Barber-Way said. Barber-Way then conferred with photographer Suss Oldmen (a pseudonym) over a copy of the 22-year-old issue. A forklift was located so was a spigot and a back seat where Raven could hose herself off for the final setup of the day.

The shoot featuring Lindemulder-a Penthouse favorite and Vivid Video contract girl who would later appear on the cover of Blink-182’s album Enema of the State-was truly strange. Barber-Way’s concept was to reimagine one of her favorite things that Penthouse had ever run - a pictorial from June 1996 that featured Janine Lindemulder, photographed by porn veteran Earl Miller.
The late April shoot was for the magazine’s upcoming Punks and Outlaws issue. “Fuck, I already have to pee,” said Mish Barber-Way, the magazine’s executive editor. The call sheet for Leigh Raven’s Penthouse photo shoot had come with this warning: “We are shooting at an old junkyard, and the bathroom situation is NOT the finest.” But when the small crew and the talent arrived at Cadillac King in the desert town of Llano, California, they learned from the guy living on the property that the one toilet actually broke months ago and there were no plans to fix it.
