kalan BriGgs / username: itskalan from New York on his photographic
work and being comfortable in your own skin.
In these photos, the expression is proud and rebellious. Once you’re comfortable
in your own skin, it’s like a natural high. You can take on the world and that same
world revolves around you. Each model is wearing high-tops as a reference the
name of the project: Natural Highs. My primary interest in photography is people
and a mentor of mine suggested that I try mixing up my formula a bit to let the
location play a bigger role than the people. This is what came of it. (The Natural
Highs were taken in a public park in Mesquite, Texas.)

NEa mcmillan / username: 5Star from Newark on biochemically proven beauty tips.
Beauty is a MAJOR factor in fashion. In my eyes, anything that is fashionable is
beautiful. My favorite factoids acquired in science class would have to be about skin,
because clothes can never disguise natural beauty. When people ask, “What’s your se-
cret to having such clear skin?” I simply reply, “Nothing!” Personally, I do not use any
soap on my face at all, only hot water. Any type of steam opens the pores and cleanses
them thoroughly. Washing my face with hot water twice daily has done me extreme
amounts of justice. For sensitive skin, I would recommend a small amount of alco-
hol – the goal is to keep your pores clean. But as we all know, water and alcohol can
make skin ridiculously dry. To avoid that, I use unscented lotion. Want to know what’s
even better? Making lotion is super fun and super easy! I learned my secret recipe
for moisturizer two years ago in my high school chemistry class (my favorite class).
All you need is 1/3 cup of your favorite essential oils, 1 ¼ cup of water, and ¼ cup
of emulsifying wax (found at your local craft stores). First, heat the water in a small
saucepan and gradually melt the oil(s) and wax into it the mixture. Next, boil 2 cups
of water in a small pot. Pour the initial mixture into the boiling water and stir. Last but
certainly not least, let the mixture cool and then pour the entire mixture into a bottle of
your choice (good presentation is always a plus). Give it a few shakes and voilà! There
you have it: a soothing lotion with no additives to clog your pores.

Manuel aLmeida Vergara / username: quintela
Although at 17 I gave up the teenage dream that anarchy is a comfortable life
and a desirable social and political system, there is still a rebellious part of me
that keeps up the fantasy of living the life of an outlaw. It’s the part of me that,
when I’m standing in front of my closet each morning deciding what to wear,
does not think about whether it’s appropriate to wear glittery makeup to church
or if the 80s are dead or alive or dead again. So in general, I don’t believe in
rules of style. But if there is one rule I abide by it’s this: when it comes to your
wardrobe, do not fake anything ever. No labels, no cup size (except if you’ve
had plastic surgery, I love breast implants) and especially not animal products.
I have to admit this – although common sense tells me that it’s cruel and maybe
disgusting to wear dead animals. There`s no excuse but I have a genuine passion
and insatiable lust for real leather, fur, and feathers. Call it dreadful, but I’ve
chosen this hedonistic lifestyle that allows me my amusement and satisfaction
regardless of the consequences.
Photographer and dear friend Adrian Knuppertz shot this picture of me
wearing a piece from my small collection of six exquisite furs. Fox, mink, rab-
bit, goat… I have them all. My closet is like a little petting zoo for adults. This
vintage piece is made of red fox with fur pompoms and black calfskin inserts
on the arms. I bought it in my favorite shop, which sells dead people’s estates
in Berlin Neukölln. The shop is run by a rude old lady who determines prices
according to whether or not she likes you. Fortunately she seems to have a thing
for scatterbrained faggots, so I got the coat for a laughable price.

married life is ridiculous. Imagine walking into your living
room to find your husband nonchalantly watching septuagenarians have extremely graphic
shower sex on the television. The porn stars are not only old but also morbidly fat. My husband
explains, “I don’t like our new roommate. He has a gypsy vibe and he fucking refuses to use
doors. We’re gonna get fucking kicked out of this complex if he continues to climb in and out of
our windows. I’m trying to weird him out so that he chooses to leave on his own accord.” I don’t
want any part of this old-people-porn situation, so I peace out and find sanctuary at a nearby
bubble tea joint to play mancala by myself. Because we are a young couple who are trying to
put ourselves through school, we’ve had a number of roommates who we never really took the
time to screen. As it turns out, half our former roommates have been institutionalized at some
point in their lives.
I love being married almost as much as I love my husband. I am one of those annoying
needy people that constantly want people around me to validate my existence. I hate crying
alone and if I feel any urge to emote, I will immediately log on to Skype and video chat someone
just so they will ‘witness the occasion.’ In addition to the constant companionship, being mar-
ried means you can ditch stilettos on a Friday night, put on a mangy oversized tee, and watch
stupid shit on the Bravo network without feeling the need to go out and meet your generation in
strobe lighting. The wedding band has also proven to be a great douche repellent. Some lewd old
guys are completely unrelenting until I flash my cute heart-cut diamond in their face – wink –
and skip on home to my hubby. The whole brandishing-my-wedding-ring maneuver was pretty
foolproof. That is, until I moved to Las Vegas.

photos of clothes, models on catwalks, and all kinds of beauty products that appealed to me. I’m
drawn to clothing that is really unique and that not everybody would wear. The same goes for
the images on my wall. I’m really into the period between the 17th and 19th centuries. The way
the people lived and dressed back then interests me a lot. Contemporary people who are great
inspirations for me are celebrities like Shenae Grimes, Ashley Tisdale, and Alexa Chung. In this

A bOok-reading
kind of rEserve
by Cathy HOryn
Reading a woman’s description of her style, which is almost inevitably related to her character,
is a little like going backstage after a fashion show and asking a designer, “What were your
thoughts?” It always feels like cheating to me, and of course it denies all the senses. So I regret a
little that I read that Barkatt thinks of herself in twos; also, that she tends to run late. These char-
acteristics are quite visible in her clothes. What made me pick this particular woman to write
about? The trim leather shorts worn with tights and platform heels? The tights and the choice of
shoe reflect a desire to be sexy and noticed, with the added value of superiority easily attained
in a platform. But the shorts, however smart looking, reflect a book-reading sense of reserve and
comfort. It’s a disparity, a chink in the modern armor, that most of us not merely live with but
secretly desire, like a house in the country.

At 31, Luis Venegas is already a one-man editorial powerhouse. He produces and publishes
three magazines that, though they have small print runs, have a near-religious following: the
six-year-old Fanzine 137 – a compendium of everything Venegas cares about, Electric Youth
(EY!) Magateen – an oversized cornucopia of adolescent boyflesh started in 2008, and the high-
ly lauded Candy – the first truly queer fashion magazine on the planet, which was launched last
year. His all-encompassing, erudite view of the fashion universe is the foundation for Venegas’
next big project: the fashion academy he plans to start in 2011. It will be a place where people,
as he says, “who are interested in fashion learn about certain key moments from history, film
and pop culture.” To get a preview of the curriculum at Professor Venegas’ School of Fashion,
Suleman Anaya paid Venegas a visit at his apartment in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasaña,

Television
● Dynasty ● Dallas
What are you watching these days in your scarce spare time?
I am in the middle of a Dynasty marathon. I have the entire series on DVD, so I am re-
watching it. It’s so entertaining and educational.
That’s true. I grew up with Dynasty. My parents used to send me to bed before it came on, so I would watch
through the keyhole. It’s a seminal show. Is there a character you identify with?
Oh, I completely adore Alexis Colby – everything about her – from her bitchy English
to her wonderfully crazy outfits.
That’s funny, I think I used to like Crystal more than I liked Alexis. In fact, I wanted to be her. You were
way ahead of me for liking the cooler of the two rivals. What are your favorite fashion moments in Dynasty?
There are two looks in this series that I particularly love. One is when the Alexis charac-
ter, played by Joan Collins, is introduced for the first time. I don’t know if you remem-
ber that in the first season Blake Carrington accidentally killed [his homosexual son]
Steven’s boyfriend, so there is a trial. The season ends with a new character appearing
at the trial. It’s Alexis, and she’s wearing a Thierry Mugler-style white skirt-suit. The
jacket has black insets on the sides that make her look even thinner than she already is.
She wears this with a veiled hat and sunglasses. It’s very dramatic and absolutely crazy.
And there’s another great fashion moment, also in the first season, when Fallon wears
a red dress with white sleeves – it’s really great. Dynasty is my favorite TV series ever.
What about Dallas? That one was also hugely formative for me.
Yeah, Dallas is great. But it’s different because in Dallas they live on a ranch, you
know? I mean come on, it’s not the same thing. In Dynasty they have this palatial place
with an amazing library and that insane staircase – how many times did a character fall
down those stairs?! And you know, in Dynasty, when they wore furs it was real fur. Same
thing with the diamonds. Nothing was ever fake on that show. Especially Joan Collins’
character. What she wears is real Valentino and Chanel from that time. And I love the
fact that the evil woman is from Europe – it’s such an American idea of casting. And
Crystal is this blond, healthy, homemaking ideal of American femininity. It’s funny.

by mikaela JohansSon / username: melaa from Stockholm
Where? I had just moved to Barcelona, so it was on the metro somewhere
between Maragall and Parallel. My best friend Linda and I were on our
way to a party.
What were you w e a r i n g ? Purple tights from Gina Tricot, a black top from
TopShop, and a golden bra from American Apparel. I hope I smelled
like a beautiful flower!
Sex? Unfortunately not. I had to wait four months for something to happen.
Sleep? Linda and I shared a room at the time. I got 12 hours of sleep and I
loved it!
