months of single-handed ad sales, publisher Deb Rochford personally hand-delivered 7,000 copies of the inaugural mag to 19 schools. And now? Well, our teen writing staff and street team alone represent 30 schools. We deliver to 157 schools and 398 drop spots around the Valley. Next stop: Tucson. Those students who began reading us as freshmen graduated a couple of months ago; we now welcome amongst our 36,000+ readers a new crop of freshmen who will see us through our next three anniversaries as well. Whether you’re a new reader or have had us on your nightstand for years, we want to thank you for your support.

Featurted Contributors We asked four of our staffers about their most memorable fashion faux pas…

styling Wardrobe Veronica Sherbina

“My most memorable fashion faux-pas was in early elementary school,” says dtk Co-Editor Taylor Turkeltaub, a Chaparral senior. “My mother loved to dress me up like a pretty little girl in brightly colored cotton dresses with these massive, almost offensive flowers printed all over them. I, however, was a determined tomboy. I would play in the dirt and suffocate those bright flowers, and I would also never, ever brush my hair because I was always afraid my hair would fall out if I did. So between my feral hair and dainty dresses, my fashion taylor style as a young child was ‘contradiction.’”

Jenna Goulder, who co-wrote the fashion features in this issue, is a senior at Xavier and in her second year writing for the magazine. Jenna has had her fair share of fashion hiccups; after all, interjecting personality into a uniform is fraught with pitfalls. Once, as a freshman, she says she remembers “going to school with my shirt collar buttoned all the way up to my neck jenna and my sleeves buttoned at the wrists, then looking around and noticing that I was the only one who was dressed so ridiculously. Now I know that you are supposed to roll up your shirt sleeves and loosen a few of the buttons.”

“Just like any other teenager, I go through phases where I become obsessed with a certain style or trend,” says Perry senior Abby Rudd. “As a cheerleader I love collecting different t-shirts or tanks from all the competitions I go to, and now I have at least 100. Sophomore year I wore one of my cheer shirts almost every day of second semester; what I thought was extremely comfortable just made me look like a slob. I still enjoy collecting these shirts, but some pieces of clothes should just be saved for home.” Abby put together the “Perry-tory” section in this issue.

Music Co-Editor Jordan Laughlin is a senior at Mountain Pointe, and she says that her all-time favorite fashion faux pas is fanny packs. “I never had the guts to wear one until we had an ‘80s theme for a spirit week,” Jordan says of the universally unflattering hip-purses. “That whole day I never had to worry about leaving my bag around because I had everything attached to me in my fanny. They come in all different colors, and if I could I would rock one every single day matching my outfits.” azTeenmagazine.com

Whether or not you’ve been to an azTeen Bash before, prepare yourself for a new experience. We still have great music, free food, a photo booth and incredible raffle prizes, but this time we’re bringing the party to the Southeast Valley. Come check it out and see how we can be all-new and just like you remember us, both at the same time!

ans are used to seeing the crazy, kinetically energized antics that the members of one-of-a-kind, genre-defying Weird Is the New Cool do on stage. The band, whose sound is sort of a cross between Sublime, Gym Class Heroes and Drunken Immortals, puts on as high-energy a show as you will see all year – part of the reason this will be their third Bash appearance, a record for azTeen events. It’s really no surprise, then, that when vocalist Kyle Collins wanted to celebrate his 21st b-day, he chose to do so at Peter Piper Pizza. But first things first. Gotta visit the studio. Walking through the unassuming door simply adorned with the letters WINC, I am greeted by a guy napping on this couch. This turns out to be WINC

drummer Tim Yokley. He graciously shows me around, from the beautifully decorated practice space to the loft with the mixing boards and sound system. Authority Zero pumps through the sound system, and after awhile the rest of the boys from the band make a loud and festive entrance. Crouching to fit inside the low-roofed loft, Kyle Collins, Nate and Cash – the guys prefer not to use last names – introduce themselves to me. Right away I know that this band is unlike any other I’d ever had the chance to meet and hang out with. After rallying the troops, we are on our way to Peter Piper Pizza for an impromptu birthday celebration for brand-new legal adult Kyle. Our multi-car caravan has some difficulty navigating the Tempe streets, and the birthday boy and I are the only ones to make it to PPP on the first try. We wait for the rest of the guys while kids run by our booth, screaming and laughing. Finally, the other guys show up with the band’s newest member, bassist Kenny, who looks like he has been kidnapped from his day job. Filling up three booths, we discuss important topics, such as skeeball, while Cash randomly fires off blasts from an airhorn. Do the members of WINC let slip any musical insights that will revolutionize the industry? Nope. They just reinforce my conviction that they are the best choice to head up the azHallowTeen Bash – as fun, energetic and creative as their music. As I say my goodbyes, the guys are still in their booths, laughing, and I leave knowing that with these guys on stage, the event will be night no one will forget.

eoria Liberty senior Destinee Quinn will reveal her pop/country gifts to the Southeast Valley during an acoustic set to open the azHallowTeen Bash. Here Destinee, who is also an azTeen model, tells readers why they should come out and take a listen. What should fans expect from you at the show? “I am super-excited to have a blast at the azHallowTeen Bash with all of you. Don’t you worry -- just because I am acoustic doesn’t mean there is any less energy coming from me. I am a country artist, and if you don’t like country, after hearing me you just might! I will be playing originals and awesome covers that aren’t country, but I make them my own. Bottom line, we are going to have fun, and I can’t wait to kick-start the night!” Do you have a following yet in the Southeast Valley? “I live and perform mostly on the west side, so currently I have a small following on the opposite side. I am hoping this show will make that a lot bigger.” azTeenmagazine.com

For those who don’t know you, what would you tell them about you and your music? “I am country but love to rock out! I am a good mix of Carrie Underwood and a little bit of Taylor Swift. If you know other country artists such as Miranda Lambert, I would say I am more like her when it comes to my live performances.” Got any good Halloween memories? “My favorite costume would have to be my Pink Power Ranger costume in third grade. I remember that all the girls except me were princesses and girly things. The following year I was Sleeping Beauty, who is my favorite, and had the cutest pink princess dress!” To hear Destinee before the Bash, check her out at Youtube.com/DestineeQuinnMusic, Myspace.com/DestineeQuinnMusic and Twitter. com/destineequinn.

❤ fairline yet?

you will!

ne of the things we like best about hosting our Bashes is the opportunity to introduce new bands to Valley teenagers. That’s definitely the case with Fairline, a 7-month-old, still-drummer-less alt-pop/ rock quartet whose members hail from Gilbert (Trey), Wisconsin, Washington state and Colorado. Band members Nathaniel Moon (piano and lead vocals), Trey Nickelson (lead guitar), Jake Randle (bass guitar and keys) and Kevin Fisher (guitar and vocals) talked to us about the Halloweens of their past and what fans can expect from them at the show. Check them out at myspace. com/fairline.

azTeen: How would you describe your music? Is there a well-known band you would compare your sound to? Nathaniel Moon: I’ve heard we sound like several different artists, from Maroon 5 and John Legend to Coldplay and The Fray. I’d say that’s pretty close. azTeen: What can those who come to the

show expect from Fairline? NM: They can expect some dancing, of course, a lot of smiles, hanging out afterwards AND a secret surprise in our set. Trey Nickelson: Seeing, Feeling, Hearing, something different. We want to do our best to step up our live show always.

azTeen: Any memorable Halloweens (or Halloween costumes) in any of the band member’s pasts? Jake Randle: Most memorable Halloween costume would be dressing as Flavor Flav. Gold teeth, Viking hat and giant clock necklace. NM: Last year I was a killer whale. My friend Elizabeth used a black hoody and

sewed on a fin on the back and teeth on the hood. It was rad! Kevin Fisher: Last Halloween I was Bill Murray’s character Steve Zissou from Life Aquatic. TN: I was my best friend for Halloween one year… kinda weird. azTeen: What’s your favorite Halloween candy?

JR: My favorite Halloween candy has always been the blue-wrapped, vanilla-flavored tootsie rolls. They were always a great find when sorting everything out on the floor after a long night; it was the cheap candy that belonged with the Snickers/Twix etc. TN: Laffy Taffy. Every flavor minus banana

azTeen: What’s your dream tour? (Bands can be current or past) NM: An Evening With The Maine. This tour right here is a dream COME TRUE! All my favorite guys are on the tour. I wish A Rocket To The Moon or Brighten Could Be on it too! However, I know I’d also like to tour with Cat Power, Ryan Adams and Rufus Wainwright -- that’d be amazing! JR: My dream tour would be Kanye West, Glassjaw, Loudermilk and JUSTICE! TN: Jimmy Eat World, Ryan Adams, John Mayer, Phoenix, Paper Route and Justice. KF: The Beatles, Bjork, Sigur Ros and Jeff Buckley. azTeen: Anything else you want our

readers and Bash guests to know about the band or you as individuals? NM: We love meeting people and getting to know others, so whether it’s online or in person we hope to meet you all soon! JR: Something that wasn’t asked: I love country and classical music. TN: Current music I am listening to: The Cinematic Orchestra KF: Our goal is creating music that can make a difference. We always encourage ourselves to take risks and not to fall under any sound or ideals but ones we believe in and are passionate about. —Jordan Laughlin

5 7 The gaggle of models in our futuristic Fashion issue dish on style … and their stuck-on-an-island must-haves

Ozzy Rodriguez Hamilton ‘13

Anchor piece of your dream wardrobe? Some stylish aviator glasses. Celeb whose personal style you most envy? Placebo’s lead singer, Brian Molko, because his style is edgy and so different. What would you not be caught dead in? Band tees, because everyone wears them and I like to make my own style. Your approach to fashion in 10 words or less? Go all the way or not at all. You’re in isolation for 6 months – yikes! What you gonna bring? Other person? My girlfriend, Amber. One artist’s music? Band of Horses. DVD? Superbad. Never gets old. Book? Shakespeare’s amazing A Midsummer Night’s Dream. 3 random items? A comb, a pizza and a bar of soap. Pet? My pet snake, Jack. He’s the most loving pet I’ve ever had.

Fashion 2010

Katie Grinstead Xavier ‘11

Favorite accessory? Purses. I love the trendy, small, long-strapped purses for daily use, but I especially like oversized purses if I want to sneak snack into the movies or pull a Paris Hilton and carry around my eight dogs in my purse… that is, if I had eight dogs. Anchor piece of your dream wardrobe? A simple black blazer with subtle embroidery that blends into the fabric. Armani. I feel like with this particular item of clothing, my wardrobe could be more versatile and open to change. What celeb’s personal style do you most admire? Zooey Deschanel. I envy her classic but chic style. What are the biggest trends at Xavier right now? Because we’re required to wear uniforms, the girls at Xavier get really creative. Van’s are always in, Tom’s are now big, and flashy headbands. Describe your approach to fashion in 10 words or less. Fashion is always changing; I should be too.

Harris Chandler ‘11 3Cadija Whose personal style do you most admire? I love Blake Lively’s style because she swags out everything she wears, just like me. What are the biggest trends at Chandler? At my school you won’t be able to walk down the hall without seeing at least 10 different kinds of Jordans, and girls in baggy boy shorts. You’re in isolation for 6 months. What do you bring? Person? My main chick LaRonda Dalovis Prince. Music? Everything from Aaliyah. DVD? Either Love and Basketball or the entire True Blood series. 3 random items? Chapstick, a Chipotle burrito and dental floss. Pet? Mookie, my Yorkshire terrier. The ability to change your underwear every day, text or watch TV? Text.

Arnoldo Flores Hamilton ‘12

Whose personal style do you most admire? Cristiano Ronaldo. I like soccer, and he’s always got the best kicks and style on and off the field. What would you not be caught dead in? Really tight neon clothing … ugh.

azTeenmagazine.com

8 What are the biggest trends at Hamilton? Silly bandz. Even the teachers wear them now. Wooow. You’re in isolation for 6 months. What do you bring? Person? My brother Alfonso. Music? Pitbull. DVD? White Chicks. It always makes me laugh. Reading material? Motor Trend Magazine. 3 random items? Phone, hair gel, food. The ability to change your underwear daily, text or watch TV? Underwear is important, but hey, I’m isolated, so who’s gonna know? I’d rather text. Sanchez Hamilton ‘12 5 Violeta Fave article of clothing? Skinny jeans. Whose personal style do you most admire? Vanessa Hudgens. It’s very diverse, and she always stands out in a crowd. What would you never be caught dead in? Anything that made me look like a guy. I could never wear saggy jeans or khaki shorts. I’m also not into showing a lot of bling so that I look like a disco ball. You’re isolated for 6 months. What do you bring? Person? My friend Rachel because she is not a drama queen and we always have fun together. Music?

Katy Perry. Her songs are fun. DVD? Eclipse, because it is my favorite of the Twilight movies and I can’t stop looking at Taylor Lautner. “Fresh Prince” Fakir Mountain Pointe ‘11 6 Leland Fave item of clothing? To tell you the truth, I definitely love all clothing! Tees, tanks, jeans, shorts, jackets, hats … but I think my favorite is shoes. Nikes, Jordans, and of course the Chuck Tayyyys! Shoes are an important thing. They’re your base! When somebody checks you out from head to toe, that’s the toe part. If you have nice clothes but are rocking some busted kicks, you really need to rethink your investments. Can’t wear the same shoes two days in a row. Ya just can’t! Anchor item of your dream wardrobe? Maybe a FAT chain that says ‘LELAND F’ or something intense like a sick Louis Vuitton belt. Whose style do you most admire? Kanye West would definitely be the man. I’d also have to say Wil Smith when he was the Fresh Prince and had the flattop. I’ve always loved Michael Jackson ‘fits – so different, so creative – RIP, MJ. What would you never be caught dead in? FAKE JORDANS!!! NEVER, EVER, EVER!!! Other than that, I feel like I can put a little Leland on anything. Describe your approach to style in 10 words or less. Originality, wear my personality. Try to be different than everyone. (10 words – yes!) You’re isolated for 6 months. What do you bring? Pet? Elephant. I’ve always wanted to sit on one. Either a pillow and blanket, toothbrush and toothpaste or soap? See, now this one’s hard. Will soap and toothpaste really last six months? Probably not, right? Then I’m stinky, I lose my teeth and have no pillow or blanket. So I choose the pillow and blanket. Charles McClintock ‘11 7 Naomi What’s your favorite item of clothing? I am absolutely in love with brightly colored, high-wasted skirts. They are a very feminine, pretty article of clothing that is as easy to throw on as a pair of jeans. What’s the anchor piece of your dream wardrobe – in other words, what one item would you buy if money were no object? Big poofy pink dresses! They’re pretty! Do you know how many nice comments I would get if I walked around my school in big poofy pink dresses? Whose personal style do you most admire? Zoe Saldana. She is absolutely gorgeous without being overly exposed. What would you not be caught dead in? Those new rompers. They just remind me of a big unitard, and I don’t see myself being able to pull off one. What’s the biggest trend at McClintock right now? Silly bandz.

You’re isolated for 6 months. What do you bring? Person? My best friend, Heather. What’s better than having your absolute best friend with whom you can talk about anything for six months? Way better than taking a lame boy. Music? Drake. I’m in love with country music, but if for six months I could only listen to the words of Drake, I’d be completely fine with that. Something to read? azTeen! It’s what I enjoy reading the best! The ability to either text, watch TV or change your underwear daily? Well, I feel like it’s a lose-lose situation either way. So if you can keep away the judgment, I think I’d pick texting. Wight Hamilton ‘13 8 Hayden What would be the anchor piece to your dream wardrobe? A pair of Christian Louboutin pumps. I love the signature red soles! What would you not be caught dead in? Overalls! Some people can pull them off. I don’t know if I’m one of them or not, but I’m not brave enough to find out. What’s trending at Hamilton right now? Rompers, high-wasted skirts and for the guys, LRG shirts. A lot of people are also starting to wear Tom’s shoes. Describe your approach to style in 10 words or less. A little vintage and always unique. You’re stranded! What do you take? Person? My best friend, Blane. Music? The Beatles! DVD? Anchorman … because it’s kind of a big deal. Book? To Kill a Mockingbird. 3 random items? My bed, more food and Oreo’s (because milk’s favorite cookie is also Hayden’s favorite cookie). Pet? My golden retriever, Katie, because she’s the happiest dog on the planet. Ranshaw Xavier, ‘14 9 Chloe Fave accessory? My Chanel logo earrings. They add that Chanel class to any outfit, and a bit of sparkle and shine too. If money were no object, what would fill your closet? Gorgeous red-soled Louboutins in every color imaginable. Shoes are every girl’s guilty pleasure. Personal style icon? Lourdes Ciccone Leon, Madonna’s daughter. Her style is so fresh and fierce, and I love how she takes retro trends and makes them new again. What would you never be caught dead wearing? Ugg boots and short-shorts together. Mixing summer and winter into one look is a recipe for a hot mess! What’s hot at Xavier? The biggest trend is Vera Bradley – almost everyone has a backpack, lunchbox or wallet. What’s your fashion philosophy in 10 words or less? “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” – Coco Chanel

Cheap chic! We were thrilled recently when the folks at Almost Famous sent us over some samples of their fall line. Why were we so excited? Well, AF’s jackets, tops and pants are fashion-forward (military jackets, overalls, acidwashed, distressed for this season), but even better? Item prices are below $50. Available at most department stores (Dillard’s, Macy’s, JC Penney), AF is worth a look. Check ‘em out at AlmostFamousClothing.com.

“I don’t like the new style of women’s sandals. The ones that go up the ankle, they look like they’re from the Roman era: I just think they’re ridiculous. If you’re going to wear sandals you don’t have to be fancy.”

Violence 101

by Denis Wright Equal parts bright and misguided, Hamish is a New Zealand teen who believes that violence is the solution to most of life’s obstacles. He’s smart enough to know, though, that he might need to find another way to navigate life if he expects to succeed at anything. He’s a Kiwi, but his struggle is universal.

You’re gonna love the outlandish stilettos from the house of Gasoline Glamour. It’s too bad, actually, because you can’t afford them – seriously, they are sick, studded, spiked and jeweled towering stilettos so pricey that you have to contact the company to get a price. Still, if you love fashion, you’ve gotta check ‘em out. GasolineGlamour.com. azTeenmagazine.com

A look at some Valley athletes and why their coaches say you should keep your eye on them this fall

Who: Alex Arroyo Where: Marcos de Niza ‘11 What: Swim Why you should care: Alex has been a top-4 finisher in every City and Region race he has swam in since freshman year. His best events are the 100 Fly, in which his personal best is 1:04.37, and the 500 Free, where he boasts a time of 5:36.07. Last year his 400 Relay team broke its own school record. What he says: “The first time I went swimming I was 10 months old. After that, I just kept on swimming. I am motivated to continue swimming because it is such a rewarding sport. My hard work truly pays off when the time comes to swim fast at meets.”

Who: Michael Okonkwo Where: Chandler ‘11 What: Football Why you should care: Michael, a wide receiver for the Wolves, was both their leading receiver in ’09 and the team’s Most Improved Player, logging 25 catches for more than 500 yards. This year, he and the rest of the team most certainly have their sights set on their Oct. 1 matchup against cross-town rival Hamilton. What he says: “I love football because it is a way of expressing life. It’s fun, and I believe I was meant to play the sport since the start.”

Who: Trey Kennedy Where: Desert Vista ‘11 What: Cross Country Why you should care: In track season, Trey runs the mile in 4:42; his best 5K time is 16:36. He was 10th last year in the uber-tough 5AI Fiesta Region and hopes to help the Thunder best its 4th-place finish at State in November. What he says: “I love running because you are your own greatest competitor, and if you are enough you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Plus, I love all my teammates because without them, I wouldn’t be able to push myself the way I do.”

Who: Jade Martinez Where: Notre Dame ‘12 What: Volleyball Why you should care: Last year’s stats included 73 kills, 15 aces and 34 total blocks, earning her the title of top middle blocker in Arizona’s 4AII and number 6 in the state overall. She’s played varsity all four years for the Saints and a Junior Olympian with her club team. What she says: “What I love most about volleyball is the competitiveness and the excitement that I feel when I’m out on the court. There’s nothing better than the rush right after you have spiked the ball back on the other team’s side of the court.” Who: Christian Markey Where: Arcadia ‘11 What: Cross Country Why you should care: A 4-year member of the Titans’ varsity XC team, Christian was third in Region last year and boasts a 15:30 best in the 5K. He has posted outstanding times in the state’s toughest meets, including the QC Twilight Desert Festival, the Four Corners Invite and the Scottsdale Running Company’s XC Festival. What he says: “I love cross country because while I’m running, I feel free, and it’s a refreshing feeling. After the run, I feel accomplished and proud of myself for finishing.”

Who: Marissa Opatz Where: Desert Mountain ‘11 What: Cross Country and Track Why you should care: A 4-year member of the Wolves varsity squad, Marissa has been shattering school records (4X4 Relay, 3200, 4X8 Relay) since freshman year and has been awarded DMHS’s Most Valuable Runner status every year. She’s a Junior Olympics regional champ in the 800 and age-group top 3 in the PF Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll half marathon. What she says: “I feel free when running. Before races I’ll be stressed and scared, but once I step onto the track or XC course, it all goes away. The amazing feeling of running your hardest and knowing that was the best you could do, as well as the people and rewards that come with the hard work you put into it are just incredible.” Who: Garrett Holle Where: Mountain Pointe ‘11 What: Football Why you should care: An integral part of the Pride’s outstanding squad that finished 12-1 in ’09, Garrett logged critical catches in the team’s most important games and plans to do so again this year. The wide receiver/defensive back has been on varsity for three years. What he says: “Football is basically my life. However, it means more to me than just a game that I play, because it teaches me to succeed in life and to succeed as a person as well.”

Who: Christian Mancha Where: Marcos de Niza ‘11 What: Football Why you should care: A defensive end for the Padres, Christian has 67 career tackles, 12 sacks and one fumble recovery for a touchdown. He was a Cox 7 Scholar Athlete of the Week and was named to the 2nd Team All Region team in ’09, when Marcos was the 5AII State runners-up. What he says: “I sacrifice many things for football, from my social life to sleep, and I happily give it up. I give up my entire body, coming home every day bruised and sore. But it all feels good, even the pain, because it allows me to succeed and play the great game of football.” Who: Dominic Sotelo Where: Marcos de Niza ‘11 What: Football Why you should care: Dominic, a defensive back and running back, racked up 493 yards in 91 carries last season, along with 42 total points and 37 tackles and 35 assists for the Padres defensively. What he says: “I feel a little nervous before a game, but then I feel all the adrenaline through us “Band of Brothers.” When I’m out on the field, I just want to show all that I have.”

Who: Dylan Busch Where: Desert Ridge, ‘11 What: Golf Why you should care: A four-year member of the Jaguars’ varsity team, Dylan helped lead DRHS to a 3rd-place finish in State last year. Dylan, a team captain, placed 12th in the state individually and 2nd in the Ping Tournament. He played his first tourney at age 5. What he says: As a kid, Dylan was asked if he wanted to be the next Tiger Woods. His response now: “Tiger who? I want to be the first Dylan Busch.”

Who: Victoria Sheets Where: Gilbert ‘11 What: Color Guard Why you should care: Victoria was the Tigers’ Rookie of the Year as a freshman, Junior Performer of the Year as a junior, and now, as a senior, is Unit Captain for the GHS varsity Black Guard, the ’10 State Champs. Gilbert’s Tiger Pride Marching Band is one of only two bands selected to represent Arizona at the National Band Championships on New Year’s Eve. What she says: “To me, marching band is special because it’s not like any other sport. Your score depends on the amount of energy the band has as a whole and how together we are. Because of this, everyone in band becomes a family so we can share our energy on the field.” azTeenmagazine.com

Who: Chris Felix Where: Mountain Pointe ‘11 What: Golf Why you should care: Chris’s personal best is a 66 on the Ken McDonald course. He won the ’09 Super Regional tourney and was second in the Tempe City tournament and qualified for State. His 300+-yard drive places him in the upper echelon of Arizona’s junior golfers, and last year was the Junior Golf Association Arizona Player of the Year. What he says: “With great practice and determination, there is no telling how far you can go. Fashion 2010

“Scott and me dancing at Scott’s sister’s wedding!” -Caitlin O’Donahue, Horizon ‘11

“We look our best when we walk to the block in confidence at the State Championships. We are the Highland 4x100 freestyle relay.” -Nicole Barker, Highland ‘11

“My friends and I totally looked our best when we all went to prom this year! Everyone had their hair and makeup done. Our dresses were all beautiful and each fit everyone perfectly! It was the greatest night.” -Gina Losole, Notre Dame ‘11

“The best I ever looked was at prom because I felt like I could rock a runway show.”

- Kenzie Hulme, Hamilton ‘11

“I don’t believe there is one time where I have felt most beautiful. I feel beautiful when I am with my friends laughing and being silly. That is when I am most happy and confident and feel that I am beautiful.” – Victoria Zimmerman, Desert Mountain ‘12

“My best friend and I love to dress up for special occasions. We love to take our time to get ready and look nice. My favorite thing about dressing up would probably be wearing heels; I think shoes can really make an outfit!” -Victoria Victor, Pinnacle ‘12

The best I ever looked is when I seriously think about what I wear. I like to coordinate outfits and I like to look good, so I try to look good all the time if I can.” -Clare Chang, Desert Mountain ‘12

“I felt absolutely stunning at my best friend’s Sweet 16. My dress was gorgeous, my hair was flawless and my make-up was done to perfection. Yet the real reason I felt so beautiful was because I spent the night surrounded by my closest friends dancing our butts off and making memories that will last forever.” -Sierra Blair-Coyle, Chaparral ‘12

“The best my friends and I ever looked was at prom this year. It was fun to see each other so dressed up because we’re usually always in our school uniforms. It was definitely different seeing everyone in long dresses with their hair and makeup done.” - Katherine Shaoul, Xavier ‘11 azTeenmagazine.com

10 “I look my best after a day of surfing.”

- Brandon Mayhew, Phoenix Country Day ‘12

11 “Even though I was just trying on dresses

with my friends, I still felt like a princess.”

—Sara Green, Xavier ‘13

12 “I don’t dress up very often, so it was

a nice change to wear a suit – especially because I was able to wear one of those pocket handkerchiefs with it that matched my tie! The suit makes me look bigger and the Napoleon look gives me more power!” -Danny DeMilto, Millennium ‘11

13 “We all wore elegant, flowing dresses,

each of which stood out with its own unique color and glow. Our hair looked flawless in various styles of delicate curls or simple French braids. We each had a special choice of jewelry to individualize our look, and no matter how much makeup we wore, our natural beauty shone through to make our prom evening spectacular.” —Mitali Kini, Desert Mountain ‘11

f Lady Gaga can pull off a red lace Alexander McQueen frock and matching facemask/crown hybrid at the VMAs, surely a fashionforward student here can do the same thing in English class, right? Right? Well, not exactly. Some looks are best left to celebs. And sometimes, even less avant garde styles just won’t work for even the best-dressed kids in school – unless, of course, you go to school with Lourdes or one of the Olsen twins. Now, that’s not to say you’re not fabulous. But let’s take a look at a couple of obstacles in the road for Valley teens who aspire to bring a little flash and panache to our high desert: Cold, hard cash We’re not talking about the $240 you saved after a summer of babysitting (which, if spent wisely, could score you an entire new wardrobe from Wet Seal or Pac Sun or Torrid, or one really amazing pair of Rock & Republic jeans). Even a pair of leather over-the-knee Dolce Vita boots will set you back $308 – and that’s a steal

compared to the $1,900 you would drop for a pair of Jimmy Choo’s new sky-high black leather peep-toe short boots. And yet, there’s hope. Not hope that you can afford Jimmy Choos anytime soon, but hope that you can score some designer-esque looks for less. Many stores carry clothes that resemble these out-of-reach trends so that teenagers can look fashionable but keep it affordable. “If a collection is showing in Spring, you will see the line in stores sometime in August for Fall,” said Terri Camberlango, owner of the Agency Arizona, a modeling agency. This means that if you see clothes that you like on the runway, you can find similar looks in stores pretty quickly after that.

Fashionicons

Our picks for the men and women who set the standard for style over the past 100 years. Their common thread: Each knew what looked good and was willing to buck the norm. Bold confidence is what makes an icon.

the valley can teens rock designer duds? back because you’re wearing your fuchsia houndstooth swing coat in the “fall” or “winter” in Arizona. In, say, Chicago, your cost per wear for such an item would be pretty low. Let’s say you splurge and pay $300 for said coat. There, the average low temp is 47.5 degrees in May and 14.3 degrees in January. From November through March, the average high does not get above 47. So, if you wear your coat four times a week for those five months and you keep the coat for five years, your CPW is 66 cents per wear. In Phoenix, the coldest it has EVER gotten was 16 degrees. And that was ONE TIME. In 1913. How amazing would it be to have been the one girl with a gorgeous fuchsia houndstooth swing coat on the January

day in 1913, walking down Central Avenue all bundled up and nodding like “That’s right, I’m warm AND stylish, so HA.” So, stick with shorts and tank tops. Your CPW there? Like, .003 cents, if it’s even that high. Because of our proximity to the West Coast, Arizonans are not only quick to get new looks, but our style profile is laid-back and casual. “I’ve noticed that in states more on the West Coast such as California, New Mexico and of course, Arizona, people tend to dress more like they are going to the beach or casually and comfortably,” notes Millennium senior Sara Feinerman. “On the East Coast in states like North Carolina and New York, people are definitely more high-class in their outfits as well as their personalities and lifestyles.” So, a closetful of designer coats and boots might not be in your future, but is that really so bad? We live in a land of year-round shorts and eight months of swimsuits, and both are on sale right now.

(Hot) haute fashion: cool, casual and cutting-edge looks rule in the Valley From Bears to Broncos, students show off their own style personalities

ashion is an important part of a teenager’s identity, defining one’s personality, expressing emotions and helping convey a sense of style that is unique to each individual. Ideally, students’ styles are like fingerprints: no two are alike. And if two students within one school have wildly different styles, those differences are magnified manyfold when you look at the entire Valley. azTeen spoke to students at Basha, Chaparral, Dobson, Millennium, Xavier and Brophy to hear how they each rock their clothes in a different way. At Basha, students report that they dress to fit their own styles, with each person wearing what they like and what makes them feel comfortable. Says senior Nicole Keefe: “Well, at Basha we really have a mix of fashions. Some people just wear jeans and a t-shirt, while others wear fancier things. Everyone definitely shows off their unique style. I mean, there are days you definitely see some outrageous outfits.” Students at Chaparral show their different fashion tastes with fashion trends that spread quickly and make an impact. Students, such as senior Julee Morrison, are big on accessorizing their outfits. “I wear tons of bracelets all the time,” she says. Also popular amongst Basha Bears are long shirts and leggings or high-waisted skirts and heels. In the winter, Uggs, leggings, and sweaters rule, while in the summer,

most girls go casual in shorts and tank tops. At Dobson, “students usually just wear jeans and a t-shirt,” says Carolyn Malone, a junior there. That’s not to say that there aren’t any trends, though. Students dress up on game days, too. “We have Color Day on Friday, and people wear their blue shirts,” she says. Fashion at Millennium is free-form. As senior Sara Feinerman says, “At Millennium, everyone dresses their own way. Whether it’s following what is seen on the runway, in the media, on friends or on strangers, everyone has their own look.” At Xavier, it’s a little harder for students to express their style in school because of the plaid-skirt uniform requirement. So, Gators show off their style when classes let out. At combined Brophy/Xavier dances, a variety of styles are on display, although outfits usually go with the theme of the dance. “We had a dance last year where the theme was ‘the future,’ and people really went all out,” says senior Zoe Flood Tardino. Brophy boys have to wear a uniform as well, consisting of shorts or pants and a collared shirt. They guys show their style at dances as well, dressing with the theme just as the girls do. “Outside of school boys usually just wear shorts or jeans and a t-shirt,” says Brophy senior Patrick Wolf. Every school has its own personality, and their approach to fashion is no different.

what’s in your closet? asked four seniors from two different schools – Chaparral and Millennium – to share their thoughts on fashion and style. Chaparral student Nicole Parker says she likes to wear “anything that I feel comfortable in but that is also trendy and cute.” Her school, she says, is a hotbed for trends, but only those that are affordable. Also, in many cases, she adds, school “isn’t really the right environment for [trends found in magazines].” But fellow Firebird Julee Morrison thinks that school is the perfect place to try out looks she finds in the media. Julee says her favorite outfit is“shorts and a cute shirt and sandals.” She accessorizes her outfits with the

same “necklace, silver bracelet, brown bracelet, hemp bracelet, and earring.” Millennium student Kelsey Hanks says that her favorite outfit is “a light denim pair of skinny jeans with a dark blue v-neck, a vintage belt and a pair of silver dangly earrings with maybe a few rings.” Allie Parkhurst, also from Millennium, prefers her favorite “pair of old, worn-out jeans with a white tank top and a vintage t-shirt from Germany. I always accessorize with my purity ring and no other jewelry.” Though these students all wear different styles and accessorize differently, they unite over the common theme that fashion is universal and helps teenagers truly express themselves.

“Tell us about youwr do o money situation. H does it w o h d n a , it le d n a h u yo affect your life?”

Hunter Schwarz

“Money is always an issue. You learn to save and make decisions about what’s really worth buying, though. Just don’t get into debt. I have too many friends who used a credit card to spend money they didn’t have, and they’re paying for it now.”

Emily Rader

NAU ’12; is majoring in Political Science and Journalism

“I have a merit-based scholarship that covers my tuition, and I work as a Resident Assistant to pay for my housing and meal plan on campus. I’m very fortunate that my parents can help cover all the additional costs such as books and class fees.”

Lulu Contreras

Brigham Young University ‘12; is majoring in Communications

panel delivers the lowdown on campus life

Scottsdale Community College ’13, is majoring in Business

“Being in community college is definitely helpful to my money situation. I am receiving financial aid, and with the lower costs, it is able to cover tuition and texts. Personal funds, such as food money, gas money, etc., come from my parents. Since it is my last semester in community college, I recently took out a small student loan for when I transfer and financial aid is not able to cover tuition at a state university.”

Marcea Decker UofA ‘13; is majoring in

Economics and minoring in Geography and the Japanese Language

“Money is totally a concern. I completely pay for college myself, and it’s really stressful. If it weren’t for the scholarships and grants that I have gotten, I would have to take out a boatload of loans. Textbooks are unbelievably expensive, but I’m a really frugal person so I always find ways to curb that cost, or any other college expenses for that matter. I guess I’m glad I’m not way into fashion because I probably only have enough money to buy a new piece of clothing maybe twice a year.”

Lindsay Jakows

Rob Stanford University of Redlands ‘12; is a Philosophy Major

with an Asian Studies minor and an emphasis on Pre-Law

“Yes, money is a concern. I worked in a kindergarten class helping the teacher out, and the majority of my funds come from this job. If there was a dollar amount labeled “too much,” then that’s how much I spend in a week. A good portion of my money is spent when I go out with friends, so it definitely affects my life socially.”

Emmanuell Maldonado

ASU ’12; is majoring in Business

“Money situation is not so much of a concern as I have been running my own business franchise since I was 18, so I have been pretty proactive about my financial situation for some time now. However, books do have a price, and financial aid has become a great friend to me. Most classes are in lecture halls, and if you’re not paying attention, you can get lost quick. So your studies have precedence over your money situation. However, having a coffee allowance every morning does get you to class with a smile.”

“I have a work-study job during the school year that basically allows me to keep up my car payments and have a little left over for other necessary spending, and I receive several different types of grants and scholarships, including a small Speech and Debate scholarship. Since I go to a private university, I also appealed my aid and received another large assistance grant. I have a few loans and my dad has a parent loan, but those are relatively small compared to the rest of the financial aid. Always ask your financial aid office what other scholarships are out there for you!”

Corinne Solheid

University of Minnesota ’13; is majoring in Biochemistry/ Pre-Med and minoring in Spanish

“Money is definitely a big concern for me. I am lucky to have a great scholarship at my school, but I still have to be very careful with money so that I can afford tuition, rent, groceries, etc. I have two jobs on campus now. One job is working at the recreation center and the other is working in a research lab. I don’t actually spend that much money in a week because everyone else on campus also has really tight budgets, so it’s pretty easy to find cheap or free things to do around campus.” 38

“For money, I have a scholarship that helps out with some of my tuition. My parents are very kind in giving me money for the rest and for living expenses. At times it gets a little rough with money, but honestly I have realized that eating at home saves so much money! When I do that I have enough left over to go out a little bit, but most of the stuff socially I do not involving school does not require a ton of money, so it works out well. For the most part, money is not a huge concern, however it is definitely a different way of living when you realize what is important to buy and what isn’t.”

Zachary Gastony, Texas A&M University

“Howdy! <-- I’m still getting used to everyone replacing the word “hi” with that. College life is pretty awesome, starting off here with Gig ‘Em Week, which is basically just ton of activities to get freshman introduced to each other. My biggest worry of making friends here has dissolved as I meet new people here daily. I have also managed to become pretty good friends with some guys in the same hall as me, and have partied hard with them before school starts on the 30th. I’m not really looking forward to the school part of college, but we’ll see how it goes. My roommate moved in finally and he seems to be a pretty chill guy, but we’ll see.”

Brittany Hardy, Princeton University

“I haven’t started school just yet, but I’m already running around getting last minute things. I finally bought a fridge and got some winter clothes for the brutal weather that will most definitely come my way this year. Despite the nostalgic emotions I’m bombarded with, I’m getting somewhat excited for school. I’m about to go to a community service program the school offers right before move-in. I’m looking forward to helping out at this shelter called Anchor House in Trenton, NJ, that houses teens and adults and also provides mentoring. I’m not exactly sure what we will be doing, but just knowing that I’ll be helping people less fortunate than I, which is all that really matters to me right now. Summer is coming to a close and I still feel like there is so much I need to do. I’m trying to finish up this book called The Blue Sweater by Jacqueline Novogratz for school about how Novogratz started a microfinancing organization to help African women tackle poverty.”

freshmen Checking in with our frosh 6 found them all with a few days of college under their belts or just about ready to start school. Here’s how they’re navigating the classroom and their home and social lives.

Hillary Burgess, The University of Texas

“So far my classes are going well! They all seem pretty interesting, but have a TON of reading. I was surprised at how few people brought laptops to class (2 of my classes forbid them); I thought I was gonna be the only one with a notebook and pen. There are about a million and five organizations that I’ve checked out, but after a service event, lunch and a party with a spirit and social organization called the Texas Wrangler Darlins, I realized that they were made for me and are now the only thing I’m trying out for. In the upcoming weeks, I have rush events for them, such as an informal interview and a “bar tab” party. I hope I get in! Things with Matt are going amazingly well. We both do our own thing for most of the day but try to make significant time to hang out together. He is excited for me to become a Darlin’! Oh, and I got into the parking garage I wanted, which is a huge deal too.”

Vivian Padilla, ASU

“I’ll be the first to admit that I was feeling a little iffy about college; I’m a big fan of having everything structured and the same day after day because it allows me to be more organized. But college is honestly a lot more laid-back than high school ever was, and I’m loving every single moment. College is a place where you’re in charge of yourself and of your work – you do as you wish and you’re the boss. Plus, going to college is like having half days over and over again, and some of us are even lucky enough to not have school five days in a row. Plus, it’s really nice during your long breaks in between classes to go down to the U-Cent or to the First Amendment Forum in the Cronkite building and watch CNN while checking your Facebook on your laptop or calling up your friends or munching on yummy snacks (because the rule of “no eating, no cell phones” doesn’t exist in college). Yup, college is pretty cool.”

Emily Piskulick, Gonzaga University “Well, orientation is offi-

cially over! I moved in the morning of Friday, August 27, and I absolutely LOVE my dorm. I was worried that it would feel lonely here, because my building is so big, but it feels like home already. Knowing some people from high school definitely made the transition easier. My roommate Kennedy, who I knew from high school, and I have gotten along great; I am sure we will continue to be great friends! Orientation went really smoothly, I made a ton of new friends so that was encouraging. Plus, my parents left today, so I am officially on my own- so exciting! I start my classes in a few days, which I am kind of nervous for, but I am sure that everything will end up fine as long as I stay on top of my work. I’m so excited that this portion of my life has begun!”

Corey edwards, UofA “It’s been a week since I got here, and I already feel like I’ve been here longer. Moving in was simple enough, and my roommate is pretty cool. After unpacking all of my clothes and other things I finally managed to get my parents to leave, but not until after they took me and a couple friends out to breakfast. So far, the college experience has been great! I’ve been spending time with friends (the period of time I spent away from them all summer doesn’t even matter), meeting some new people, and of course still getting my dreaded work done. I’m still looking forward to the rest of the year and the years to come.”

Written and compiled by Abby Rudd, Perry ‘11

Perry pride belies its youth Pumas are Chandler’s new cubs on the block

ost new schools take a few years to hit their stride, but not Perry. Upon its opening in July 2007, Perry generated buzz amongst students, parents and administrators within the Chandler district and throughout the Southeast Valley as a dynamic and diverse school on a mission to produce graduates who are not only

well-educated but confident, wellrounded and unique individuals as well. With its the sleek, white hallways, always-accommodating teachers and bustling campus, Perry already has identity and tradition. Perry’s motto – “Pride, Progress, Purpose” – is a mantra for the 2,200 cardinal-red-and-navy-clad Pumas who continue to build their legacy.

did you know…? … Perry is part of the Chandler Unified School District, yet the buildings are located in the city of Gilbert. … The Renaissance Program encourages students to be eager to learn, to move in the correct direction and to thrive in the educational environment.

… Each month there are many activities for that emphasize the importance of the Fine Arts Department at Perry. 42

… The Puma logo was changed after Perry had been open for one year.

… In 2010, Perry had its first graduating class.

what’s it like to be a Puma? “It’s exciting and new things happen every day, but no matter where you go, school will always be school.” – Morgan Sorensen, ‘11

… The architecture of the school is almost identical to that of neighboring Basha, minus one building.

… The library at Perry is one of few to not arrange the books by the Dewey Decimal system.

“Truly amazing, because Perry is filled with a diverse group of people that treat each other well.” – Sarah Miller, ‘12

“Well, Perry is an experience unlike any other I have ever had before because of the many people who go here.” – Alec Alabado, ‘11

“I enjoy being a Puma because we are setting the standards for the future generations to come.”

“It is cool to be a Puma because since we are a new school we set the traditions that future Pumas will follow.”

– Dustin Dunning, ‘11

“Rawr! We are pumalicious.”

– Taylor Marmie, ‘11

– Blayne Perrine, ‘11

– Veronica Brunson, ‘12

“I love everything about the school, but the size of the campus does not accommodate the amount of students who go here.” “To be a Puma or to not be a Puma? Be a Puma, because everyone is

respectful and does not laugh at you for things you do during class.”

– Amanda Biggers, ‘13

“Being a Puma is like galloping on a big blue and red cloud of joy.” – Wil Schommer, ‘11

“I used to go to (another Chandler high school) and being a Puma is way better. I feel more like I belong with the people here.” – Anthony Proano, ‘11

“I love Perry, and I love going to school knowing that I am in a safe environment.”

– Korttney Phillips, ‘11

“It’s awesome being a Puma, but because we are a new school there are no traditions to follow. At first Perry felt like a junior high, but now that the amount of students has increased, it is starting to feel more like a normal high school.” – Kreslin Leon, ‘11

the rep:

Was the original mascot of Perry supposed to be a penguin, or has it always been a puma?

the response:

“I think the Chandler Unified School District board voted on it directly while the school was being built. The three options were Penguins, Pumas and Panthers. Initially, it was going to be the Panthers until they found it to be a mascot of another school. In the end, the ‘Pumas’ were chosen to represent Perry.” – Mike Thomas, ‘11

“what fashion trend do you wish would just die already?” “Guys who think it’s cool to wear pants that are WAY TOO BIG that will keep falling down unless they hold them up!!!” – Terra Appelmanome, homeschooled

“Probably the really high skirts with the tight tank tops underneath. It’s cute every once in a while, but not as an everyday outfit.” – Mia Lauren Morande, Chaparral ‘13

“Well wearing a rosary around your neck has to be the worst trend. Half of the people who wear them do not know what they are called or used for.” – Alec Johnson, Perry ‘11

“I really don’t like jean miniskirts. I think that fashion trend should die.” – Zoe Flood Tardino, Xavier ‘11

“Crocs, definitely. Although they may be cute on young children, when you hit the age of 6, Crocs need to go.” – Paige Kube, Desert Mountain ‘11

“A fashion trend I feel should just die already is fedora hats because they are being overworn, and not everyone can pull them off.” – Torri Levy, Cactus Shadows ‘11

“Bright-colored skinny jeans!”

– Gregg Fimbres, Cesar Chavez ‘12

“Crocs should die!

You should only wear them if you’re over 75.”

– Jose Luis Gomez, Tolleson ‘12

“The fashion trend I wish would just die already would have to be those shirts that are tight at the bottom but really loose and flowy at the top.” – Anna Chevalier, Xavier ‘13

Fashion 2010

“Maybe the emo phase or just the way people dress so dark and mean and put loads of makeup on just so they can look ugly or scary. And maybe the stupid phrases t-shirts, like ‘You are my sunshine’ with like a little sun and rainbow, or like ‘You’re the salt and I’m the peppa.’ Ha ha.” – Brittney Thompson, Millennium ‘12

“Uggs in the summer with shorts!!! Ugh.”

“Wearing fake glasses is a fashion trend that needs to die. There is no point in wearing plastic-lens glasses when you don’t need them.” – Sam Greenhalgh, Highland ‘12

‘Oh God, there are so many...

Probably the poof. Like, the bump-it.” – Mary Kading, Millennium ‘11

– Melissa Chavez, Chaparral ‘11

“Shorts, slippers and oversized sweatshirts are never a good “ combo. These girls look like People wear too many at a time.” they’re weather-confused. – Maddie Giancola, Xavier ‘12. Put on a cute sweater and a pair of flats and you will “I can’t stand when girls wear the shorts with the writing on them. I don’t be just as comfy and look want to be a creeper and read it, but 10 times cuter.”

Silly Bandz!

I’m also curious to see what it says.” – Jack Martin, Pinnacle ‘12

“I can’t stand ‘Jeggings’ (Jeans that look like leggings). They are so ugly, I mean, if you’re going to wear jeans, then wear jeans. If you’re going to wear leggings, then wear leggings. Don’t wear both! And for some people, it is not flattering at all because they’re really tight, so if someone doesn’t have the physique for ‘jeggings,’ then they’re just a hot mess, minus the hot.” – Kristen Fajardo, Perry ‘13

“I wish rompers would go out of style. They are very unflattering and not cute.” – Victoria Donlon, Mountain Pointe ‘11

“Girls that wear

beanie hats that are barely on their heads. Why would you wear a hat if it doesn’t even stay on your head? They have to bobby-pin the hat to make it stay in place.” – Taylor Speth, Highland ‘12 azTeenmagazine.com

– Taylor Kerley, Desert Mountain ‘12

“Hmmm....one trend I would like to see extinguished would have to be capri pants on boys. Yes, I know it’s hot in Arizona, but there is nothing more ridiculous than a boy wearing capri pants. It’s just wrong.” – Thomas Galewski, Desert Mountain ‘11

“What is up with those glasses? I really wish the people who wear the fake glasses would wake up one day and realize how silly they look. Please kill this trend!” – Hailey Brichacek, Saguaro ‘11

“Guys and their stupid baggy pants. No one wants to see their boxers; it’s just plain gross.” – Melissa Turkenkopf, Agua Fria ‘12

“Gauchos! They are so third grade!”
