BY BROOKE ROSSI As the power of known normalcy went off, the radiant light of the abstract flipped on. We woke up one day to find a shift in the air around us. As if it has become solid and rolled around in a triangular form, leaving only the path you are taking not extremely suffocating. Even taking steps felt strange, like instead of walking forward, you are moving forward but your joints in your legs move as if you are walking backward. Red meant go. Green meant stop. It made a mess of those who already had nerves crossing the street. Nothing made quite as much sense as it used to. But in the best way. People did not know what to think, people did not know what to feel.

Some people acted like nothing had changed, like they were parading around in what had always been normalcy to them.

It was as if we could reinvent ourselves. The most creative of creative people had a hay day with their new-found creative freedom. Not limited to tangible items around them, the abstract widening their perspectives.

A man can be seen taking a cylindrical object out of a cigarette box. But instead of lighting it, he pushes it into his mouth with one finger and blows a bubble with it. Walking past an Italian restaurant, you may see people grabbing noodles in order to tie their shoes. As if shoelaces were never invented. A close-up

Moments later, as you are drinking your hot coffee from the bowl they have given you, you see the gaggle of friends get up and grab another set of instruments, two intact guitars are placed into the hands of the two with guitar bowls. The live band plays after all, and the sweetness in their other guitar holes translates into the melodic music they produce.

In your next steps after leaving this coffee shop, you run into a young man, his torso brushing against you. Something near his belt loops seems to scratch your side. You turn to get a better look at him and you see he clamped jumper cables around the lip of his pants at his waist. He wears them as if they were suspenders. Today has been quite strange for you, but you are refreshed by this man’s style. Because while this is not the typical use of jumper cables, you are greatly surprised that this item looks fashionable on this man. So random, yet so alluring.

You think that your first step into the abstract may be clamping your jumper cables onto your own pants. Your experiences today have in no way prepared you for how different the world is now, but you take a sweet breath of relief as you can finally fall into the normalcy you have desired in the abstract.

Our previous issue, The Music Issue, was an ode to past, present and future icons in the music industry... but we aren’t done yet. This semester we had two opportunities to talk with some influential individuals in the independent music business.

Who is Early Eyes?

By Emily Bradley Early Eyes is an up-and-coming band from Minneapolis. With their smooth and funky, yet alternative sound, it is no wonder how their following is growing so quick after just meeting last fall. After seeing them live, I noticed how different their sound is, as well as their stage presence. It’s fantastic. The members of Early Eyes were kind enough to FaceTime me while I asked a million questions.

HOOPLAH ISSUE #12.5

Making Hooplah is a last-minute affair. Not a lot of thought is put into how the fuck we’re gonna make an issue, and usually we throw something together at the very last second and pray no one rips on the pure sketchiness of it. It’s nice being able to make a publication without having to worry about polishing it, but unfortunately this causes us to miss out on finer details and opportunities to create a really well-crafted piece.

I’ve admired FWD from afar for a while, and the sheer amount of attention put into its design often makes me hang my head in shame. Having to create a magazine of its scale while also maintaining excellent style and design is amazing to me. I feel comfortable knowing that Hooplah is typically looser and more stony with its brand, but damn if FWD just doesn’t always look cool as hell.

I was beyond excited when Daniel approached me about collaborating for this issue. What was initially a drunk agreement to make something together turned into an actual partnership, which is incredible because I’m almost positive only five percent of drunk agreements end up happening.

From the beginning we wanted to create something that enhanced the quality of both publications, while also maintaining their individual identities. This was a challenge due to the stylistic differences of both, but in the end we managed to find an equilibrium that we were both happy with.

Forward deciding to break up this edition into an assortment of smaller themes worked perfectly for us, and some of the usual Hooplah illustrators chose a theme they liked and made a piece for it. Issue 12.5 is all about adding to something larger, which is what making anything should be about. This collaboration has been awesome for the both of us, now check out this sexy little zine and enjoy the rest of Forward Untitled.

Exposed was used to create another texture and layer within each photo, and as a way to create both distance between the model and the viewer. It also brings the viewer closer by allowing them to see the the model in a raw and pure form. The sheets of vinyl were used as a way to highlight specific portions of the body as well.

This brings an interest to forms and parts of the bodies that would commonly be looked over.

BY JORDANNE BAETEN The idea of eating a raw diet is nothing new. The human race was founded on eating nothing but leafy greens. As we developed and modified throughout evolution, our bodies were introduced to foreign, processed substances with an intent to make our food last longer.

Many people believe that by eating these modified foods we are choosing to exchange the health and well-being of our body for convenience. A raw dieter’s goal of eating this way is to cleanse and bring their bodies back to thriving off a plant-based diet while eliminating unnatural or cooked foods.

The raw diet is one of the most popular detox trends of the moment.

As far as clothing goes, raw clothing is becoming an eco-friendly trend. Vegan leather, hemp, and organic cotton are all seen being produced more often.

Some of the benefits of these materials include being beneficial for animal life, having less harmful chemicals, and more ethical production.

RAW TREND REPORT

If that trend were to appear on the runway, many might find it

in the resurgence of corsets. The 16th century Elizabethan trend has made its way back into popular shows. United States companies like Dove and Aerie have been recently launching “love my body” type campaigns dominating industries. Their goal is to reinforce the idea that most women cannot conform to most runway trends. The two trends are quite conflicting, especially during what is now appearing to be the

While many fashionistas may feel compelled to add the piece to their wardrobe, the Euro trend might not be worth the consequences. The corset represented an era of women contorting their bodies to fit an unrealistic standard of beauty and status. The trend is comparable to foot-binding, a traditional

custom for women in China that lasted almost a millennium. Women would tie their feet tight and slip into heels almost three sizes too small. Women with smaller feet from binding would showcase their feet as a status symbol, saying, “I do not need to work therefore I can afford to bind my feet.” The idea behind this was for women to debut themselves as an eligible wife to upper class men.
