ta, that he would be freed if he left the country. Promising to send for his wife (whom he’d later divorce) and son, Arnaz’s father set out for Miami.

A Latino’s Legacy

In June 1934, the 17-year-old Desi arrived in America and was greeted by his father, who had established an import-export company with two other refugees in Miami. To save money, father and son lived in the company warehouse and ate cans of pork-and-beans. They used baseball bats to ward off the rats that scurried through the building. After school, young Arnaz worked cleaning bird cages for a man who sold canaries in drug stores.

esiderio Alberto Arnaz y De Acha III better known as Desi Arnaz was born on March 2, 1917 in Santiago, Cuba. He is best known for the popular 1950s television show “I Love Lucy”, a situation comedy that he helped create along with his wife Lucille Ball, to whom he was married from 1940 to 1960. Arnaz played “Ricky Ricardo,” a struggling Cuban-born bandleader whose high-spirited wife Lucy (played by Ball) was forever engaged in some sort of comedic mischief. Behind the scenes, Arnaz was known as a savvy businessman and producer and a trailblazer in the early years of television.

Desi came from well made family.

Desi father was a mayor of Santiago and a wealthy property owner whose holdings included a cattle ranch, two dairy farms, and a villa on a small island in Santiago Bay. Desi’s mother, the former Dolores de Acha, was the daughter of one of the founders of the Bacardi rum company. As a teenager, Arnaz was expected to attend college before embarking on a career in law and politics. His fled from Cuba changed the direction of Arnaz’s life. In August 1933, the Arnaz home in Santiago was burned and ransacked. While Arnaz and his mother managed to escape to safety, his father, a newly elected congressman, was put in prison. While there, he was advised by the new chief of state, Fulgencio Batis-

Arnaz musical beginnings was recommended to a band-leader by a girlfriend’s grandfather.

Armed with a used guitar, purchased for $5 from a pawnshop, and a facility with the instrument - he’d used it often in Cuba to serenade the opposite sex - Arnaz persuaded his father to let him take this new $39-a-week job at the Roney Plaza Hotel.

Xavier Cugat, the “king” of Latin dance music soon discovered the young musician. Upon graduating from high school and serving a stint in the Cugat orchestra, Arnaz debuted his own band in Miami Beach in December 1937. The Desi Arnaz Orchestra won favorable reviews in New York and Miami. Collaborators, Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers, asked the young orchestra leader to audition for their upcoming Broadway musical Too Many Girls. Arnaz landed the part of the Latin American exchange student. Soon the 23-year-old was on his way to Hollywood to appear in the film version of the musical, starring 28year-old studio actress, Lucille Ball.

Lucy and Desi’s first scene together in the movie Too Many Girls required him to take one glance at her and swoon dead away in ecstasy. It didn’t take much acting skill; by then, they were already in love in real life.

The relationship was passionate and tumultuous from the start, punctuated by clashes of temper and jealousy. Many of the dis-

agreements centered on Arnaz’s flirtatious nature. Still, they came to care deeply for one another. Arnaz called her “Lucy” even though she had long called herself “Lucille.” He didn’t like the name Lucille, Arnaz recalled in his autobiography. “That name had been used by other men. ‘Lucy’ was mine alone.”On November 30, 1940, Ball and Arnaz were married in Connecticut with a wedding ring purchased at the last minute from Woolworth’s.

In 1948, Arnaz and Ball formed Desilu Productions to coordinate their various stage, screen, and radio activities. A year later, Arnaz asked Ball to marry him again - this time in an official Catholic ceremony. The ceremony was later played out again, albeit in a more fanciful manner, in an episode of I Love Lucy.

Productions continued as a successful and influential company. Desilu produced “December Bride”, “Make Room for Daddy”, “Our Miss Brooks,” “The Untouchables,” and other shows.

On July 17, 1951, just as scriptwriters were putting the finishing touches on I Love Lucy for the show’s October 15, 1951 premiere. The principal characters were Ricky Ricardo, a struggling Latin bandleader who would burst into Spanish whenever he got particularly exasperated, and his wife Lucy, a wacky housewife with showbiz aspirations but no real talent. Before long, I Love Lucy was a smash hit, televised around the world. “Rather than repelling audiences as CBS had feared,” wrote Harris, “Desi’s flamboyant Cuban-ness apparently had the opposite effect of attracting

Desi originated many techniques that are now standard procedure in series television, including the use of several cameras to film the performance, preceding performances with a warm up man, filming before a live audience, and the re-running of films of old episodes.

By 1950, Arnaz and Ball had both established themselves in the medium of radio.

Arnaz first served as the band leader for Bob Hope’s radio show, then as host of the musical quiz show Your Tropical Trip; Ball portrayed the scatter brained housewife on the radio serial “My Favorite Husband”.

When the CBS television network decided to turn My Favorite Husband into a TV series, Ball insisted that Arnaz be cast as her husband. As the show’s producer as well as its leading man, Arnaz helped bring moviequality techniques. Desi originated many techniques that are now standard procedure in series television, including the use of several cameras to film the performance, preceding performances with a warm up man, filming before a live audience, and the re-running of films of old episodes. At the time, normal practice was to broadcast live from a studio in New York. Desi’s innovations allowed “I Love Lucy” to be filmed at Desilu in Hollywood and broadcast from New York via film. The existence of a broadcast quality film print for each episode also opened the way to syndication of the series, which is still widely aired today.

Even after “I Love Lucy” ended, Desilu

such hits as Our Miss Brooks, The Untouchables, and The Danny Thomas Show.

Arnaz and Ball also appeared together in movies such as The Long, Long Trailer and Forever, Darling. In 1957, Desilu bought RKO Studios, where he and Ball had met in 1940. By the mid-195Os Desilu was an empire that grossed about $15 million annually and employed 800 people.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Arnaz remained active in show business. In 1967, he launched the NBC series The Mothers-in-Law, starring Eve Arden and Kaye Ballard. In 1976, Arnaz published his autobiography, A Book, which included an epilogue about Ball that stated, “I loved her very much and, in my own and perhaps peculiar way, I will always love her.” Arnaz appeared on Saturday Night Live with Desi Jr. to promote the book.

In 1986, after years of smoking four or five Cuban cigars a day, Arnaz was diagnosed with lung cancer. Lucille Ball stayed with him for several hours before he lapsed into a coma. He died in the arms of his daughter, Lucie, on December 2, 1986.

viewers.” Casting Arnaz as a TV husband was “a case of awkwardness being recognized as an asset,” observed a critic for the New York Times. The show won Emmy awards in 1952 and 1953 for best situation comedy.

Arnaz attributed the success of the show mostly to his wife’s performance as the daffy Lucy. Madelyn Pugh Davis, a writer for the show, said in People magazine in 1991: “He always knew she was the star.

Never in all those years did I ever hear him say, where’s my part?” Under Arnaz’s direction, Desilu Productions became a media giant. In 1955 I Love Lucy began re-broadcasting earlier episodes - the first reruns ever shown of a current prime-time show - because so many viewers with brand-new televisions had missed the show’s early years. As the New York Times observed, “The appeal of reusable filmed programs led eventually to a seismic shift in television production from New York to Hollywood, and made the program’s creators millionaires.”

In addition to I Love Lucy, Desilu produced

Latinos Paving The Way

DJ KRIM: I feel that its good when they are hyping you up but sometimes they do carry about, the show is not about them Its about the DJ and the MC comes second. So I have been to turn them off. I mean if there is an acappella in a song i want the people to hear it not the MC talking over it that’s when i turn them off.

HG:When you DJ do you have your set planned or do you pre plan your set?

DJ KRIM: When i first started I thought that was you were suppose to do, but as i started growing you can’t that do that because every club I do there are so many DJ’s. Every club will book 3 or 4 guys and am at the point that i will be playing later on through the night and lets says the other two guys before me just played the song that i was going to play then I don’t know what am going to do. So learning from experience I pretty much wing it and feed off from the crowd.

HG:What advice do you have for up and coming DJ’s?

DJ KRIM: Don’t be such a hurry to try and make money and make things happen. Of course when we all first started we started on Vinyl and you had to practice at least six months to just match a beat and continuously practice and continuously DJ house parties for free. Back then when I started I never asked how much I was excited to play in front of people. Don’t be such a hurry to make money because the last thing you want when someone does actually book you and they see that you are starting out that could really hurt you in the long run.

For more information and updates about DJ KRIM, visit his website: www.djkrim.net and keep a look out for him on facebook and twitter.

HG:Which song never fails in the dance floor?

HG: How long have you been DJing?

DJ KRIM: 13 years

ESTILO MAGAZINE | Volume 1

HG: Tell us what was your first event and how memorable was it?

DJ KRIM: The first thing i did that was big was a sushi place at Dos Lagos. Within like a month the place was crazy. My name got built there really quick They Busboys working like Bouncers. From there I started to get know from local promoters HG How did you get the name DJ KRIM? DJ KRIM: Growing up in Orange County and going to Disneyland with my friends was the place to go to and of course we loved picking up on girls and we never used our real names. My fake name was Jonah’s KRIM . When I started to DJ it became DJ KRIM I wanted it to have a back story HG What do you think about the MC’s?

DJ KRIM: I must have to say Shake that monkey from Too Short you can never go wrong with Too Short HG So tell us in your down time how do you relax?

DJ KRIM:You would think i would be out around the town but i like to be at home watching TV with my wife or go out to dinner or movies the complete opposite of my job.

HG: I understand you were voted the number 1 DJ in the Inland Empire how did that feel for you?

DJ KRIM: Honestly it was a crazy story i mean there are guys that campaign for things like that and I found out by some guy who told me congratulations for being voted the number 1 DJ and I looked at him and remembering saying to him congratulations for what? Mind you this was a big tattooed dude and i was calling him a liar LOL. I still couldn’t believe it until i got home and looked it up online and that’s when it hit me that it was true.

Latinos Paving The Way

DJ KRIM: I feel that its good when they are hyping you up but sometimes they do carry about, the show is not about them Its about the DJ and the MC comes second. So I have been to turn them off. I mean if there is an acappella in a song i want the people to hear it not the MC talking over it that’s when i turn them off.

HG:When you DJ do you have your set planned or do you pre plan your set?

DJ KRIM: When i first started I thought that was you were suppose to do, but as i started growing you can’t that do that because every club I do there are so many DJ’s. Every club will book 3 or 4 guys and am at the point that i will be playing later on through the night and lets says the other two guys before me just played the song that i was going to play then I don’t know what am going to do. So learning from experience I pretty much wing it and feed off from the crowd.

HG:What advice do you have for up and coming DJ’s?

DJ KRIM: Don’t be such a hurry to try and make money and make things happen. Of course when we all first started we started on Vinyl and you had to practice at least six months to just match a beat and continuously practice and continuously DJ house parties for free. Back then when I started I never asked how much I was excited to play in front of people. Don’t be such a hurry to make money because the last thing you want when someone does actually book you and they see that you are starting out that could really hurt you in the long run.

mooth, clear and flawless skin is an indication of good health, not just of beauty. Whatever lifestyle choices we make, or whatever forms of abuse we make our bodies go through, such as drinking, bingeing and smoking, getting stressed out lots of times, or lack of exercise and sleep, show easily enough on our skin. It is easy to tell if a person is not of good health: she always looks wan and sallow, her skin dry and flaking, and most likely sporting dark circles under the eyes. A person who is at the peak of health has smooth and soft skin that is alit with a rosy glow.

Many women go to day spas to pamper their skin and make them look nice and healthy. Spas have special treatments that can rejuvenate the skin, take the toxins out of the body, and make the skin look younger and looking fresh.

If you go to a spa to get your skin pampered, what treatments should you go for and what should you expect? Listed below are basic treatments you can find in a spa:

Body scrub. A body scrub exfoliates and removes the dead skin cells from the body using different types of oils and salts. This hydrates and makes the skin of the body soft and smooth.

Body mask. Body masks are also used for exfoliating and for removing dead skin cells from the body. It works exactly the same way as the facial mask.

Body wrap. In a body wrap treatment, certain creams, liquids or a special mud is applied to the body. The body is then wrapped tightly and allowed to stay so for a period of time. A body wrap treatment is supposed to detoxicate the body, or maybe help the body shed off a few pounds.

Day spas also offer different kinds of massages to relax the body, to relieve it from stress and detoxicate it. Having healthy, glowing skin, after all, is an inside job.

If you are feeling pain or stressed out, it is best to relieve these aches and pains through massage so the skin would look healthy and beautiful.

Visit a day spa and pamper your skin every once in a while. It will do your skin and your health a world of good.

Facials. A facial is a way of deep cleansing the skin, removing the dirt, the impurities and the blackheads from the face. After a facial the skin of your face should feel clean, soft and hydrated.

Facial mask. The idea of the facial mask is to make your skin feel tighter, smoother and hydrated. It is also supposed to exfoliate your skin and remove the dirt and dead skin cells from it, as well as to treat acne. Facial masks are ESTILO MAGAZINE | Volume 1

Estilo had the opportunity to interview the members of the group about their journey as Sonsoles this far. The band was formed in 2006 and the name “Sonsoles”, was inspired by the little sister of a friend who was a former guitar player for the band. When asked to explain the meaning of the name Sonsoles, they simply stated, “It’s a common Spanish female name that refers to ‘beautiful eyes’.” The band went through tedious amounts of construction before they became the band that they are today.

ESTILO MAGAZINE | Volume 1

Ceasar Abrego and Steve Baltazar put ads on Craiglist for local musicians to audition for opening spots in the band and that is when Jose Hernandez, and Lonni Moreno joined in to finalize the formation of Sonsoles in 2008.

They each derive from different backgrounds that include: Spain, Mexico, El Salvador, even right from our backyard, Los Angeles. They all have been exposed to different sounds, but the great characteristic trait about their music is they incorporate the variety of sound they know, to make a unique sound that gets the crowd going. The members added,“ The love of Latin music is what we all share in common.”

Sonsoles is currently involved in a contest for radio station, Super Estrella, for a chance to play at Staple Centers. Playing Staples Centers has been a dream of theirs that they are hoping to fulfill through this competition. They plan on adding extra rehearsal time and putting their all into this particular chapter of their life. Although Sonsoles is not signed with any label at this time, they are extremely happy with where they are at. Band members, Steve and Jose,

say they do it for their love of music.

Sonsoles music covers topics that every culture can relate with: love and lost loves.

They’ve played in venues such as Dodger stadium and Angel stadium, to a more intimate setting such as the House of Blues.

No matter where they play, they show their love of music to their fans and try their best to interact with the audience in order to put on an amazing show. They are currently working hard to record a new album in hopes of becoming one step closer to fulfilling their dreams. They are a passionate, hardworking, fun loving group of guys that can’t wait to take the Latin music world by storm.

Mary-Kate Fitzpatrick is the reining Miss Hispanidad International. She won her title in 2011 where she represented her culture of Colombia. When asked how she felt about running for MHI she answered...”I was concerned before I entered MHI that I wasn’t affiliated with my Colombian culture. I really wanted to embrace it and to have it more apart of me and when I finally started realizing it wasn’t about speaking spanish, it wasn’t about looking hispanic, it was about embracing who you are and your blood and where you come from.

Once I started to open up to that, everything really started to change and I started becoming more comfortable with myself and learning about my culture was probably the most amazing part because I learned so many things in the pageant that I never would have learned if I hadn’t entered to begin with.”

Mary-Kate is currently a full time student in college studying film and editing. She aspires to become a Director and produce her own films and is working towards achieving those goals today. Mary-Kate loves being in front of the camera just as much as behind the camera, and models to help pay for her equipment.

She’s modeled for well known brands and loves what she does. She is Vice President of her student body class and will be running for President next year.
