hey say that things are easier said than done. I have learned that this is definitely true. During the production of the issue of Torch you are currently reading, I made a few discoveries. Never judge a book by its cover. My primary example for this is this issue. You will read stories about people on this campus that you never imagined could happen to anyone. I hope that more of us can open our minds and eyes to the world around us and realize that there is so much beyond the four walls in our own lives. The struggle is what makes life worth it. Some struggle more than others, but how could you ever know how much you really appreciate what you have if you didn’t have to work a little to get there? That being said, I’d like to thank everyone who helped Torch magazine with our “struggle” this semester. It was amazing to see so many groups of people at work to create one project. I’d like to thank my art director Mark Sutton. He was my voice of reason this semester and taught me everything i need to kow. I’d also like th thank Jay Seidel. He works day in and day out to create a passion for journalism in every student that he teaches. Looking back, this was one of the best struggles I’ve ever faced.

ailing from Southern California by way of Orange County, Beneath The Buried commonly known as BTB are looking to mix up the metal scene. Beneath The Buried members Kevin Beatty (Guitar), Danny Taylor (Guitar), Josh Covarrubias (Drums), Brian Cabral (Bass), and Kyle Gionet (Vocals) are looking to make it in the heavily dominated OC hardcore scene. We always strive to take things to the next level, but I don’t think we will ever be happy no matter where we are. Whether we sell one record or one million records we will still have a goal that we didn’t reach yet. This band has more drive than a V8 engine,” explains Beatty. Taylor and Beatty founded BTB back in 2009,

What the Band is listing to
“I went into work one day to show my brother my new amp and Danny came over and asked to play. Before I didn’t really like him he looked and still looks like a preppy surfer. Anyway, I asked if he wanted to jam and we did the next day. The rest is just history,” recalls Beatty of their first encounter. The band has a generous following that they call “The Buried,” which follow them from venue to venue just to see their band play and hang out after the show. BTB has played on the Sunset Strip with Los Angeles’ own glam metal band Steel Panther. “For myself, playing with Steel Panther was one of the most fun nights of my life,” explains Beatty. “We hung with Sebastian Bach, members of Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead, and Black Veil Brides.

super cool and we made a ton of new friends and new fans.” They have also played the Hottest 100 Music Festival with Bleeding Through, Stick To Your Guns, As Blood Runs Black, and Sleeping Giant, just to name a few of the bands. “It was the first time we played outside for a ‘real’ show, plus playing with Bleeding Through and As Blood Runs Black was pretty rad, they were great dudes,” explains Beatty. Beneath The Buried are hoping to drop some new material by the end of January, with the vocals of Kyle and possibly new songs. According to Beatty, Beneath The Buried will always strive to, “Stay driven, keep it heavy, and never accept anything that’s not the absolute best in our eyes.”

here’s no place like it. Walk through its doors and enter into the past. Where quality was first and high-end craftsmanship was the standard for all. Where records were spun instead of downloaded and where things were one-of-a kind, not mass-produced. The Out of Vogue vintage shop has had its roots in Fullerton for 15 years strong with no sign of letting up any time soon. But it isn’t just the items themselves that carry a long history with them, founder of Out of Vogue, Mike Atta, has quite an interesting history himself. The 50 year-old shop owner has made waves in the punk-rock beginnings at the ripe, young age of 17. In 1976 the band The Middle Class became the catalyst for the hardcore punk scene. The Middle Class sprouted in Santa Ana and the original line-up consisted of Mike as the guitarist and two brothers Jeff on vocals while Bruce played drums and friend Mike Patton played bass. “We weren’t really a hardcore punk band, but everybody said this [The Middle Class] first record lead to Black Flag. We were more of an art-punk band; it’s just that our songs were really fast. Like, we would play 20 songs in 20 minutes.” These one-minute songs have inspired a magnitude of legendary punk bands. Mike admits that their first original single can go for about $350, that’s if you can find one. Even original flyers made by the band range from $50-75 on eBay. Mike’s musical past has molded a loving bond between his fascination with antiques and his love for people. This urge to preserve the originality that past era’s encompassed, and to share it with the world isn’t something he inherited. “I never came from a background like that, I moved out of my parents house when I was 17,” he explains, “and since then I’ve always been into furniture design and guitars and stuff like that, I don’t know its weird...” The love he has for his work shines through with the relationships he has with his customers. An 80 year-old man came into the shop and Mike told the man that no new cowboy shirts have came in. After a light conversation the man went on his way. Mike then went on to talk about the mans lack of interest in anything but the vintage cowboy shirts he gets in. It’s often tough getting more than five minutes of Mike’s attention at a time because customers are consistently walking in and conversing about a piece they have on layaway, or wanting to show Mike some antique items they are willing to sell.

However, walk-ins are the main bloodline keeping his store going. It’s the customers and friends (the two go hand in hand) that come in with their grandparents’ old clothes or knick-knacks to sell. Most of what he has in the store have been from the item’s first owner. Besides having 100 percent authentic vintage pieces, he is known for his fair pricing. Out of Vogue is known for being an affordable vintage shop, one of the few in Southern California. His expertise on such a wide range of items comes from extensive experience. It’s important to know the demographic
piece of clothing is vintage is whether or not it’s made in China. “You can tell a lot by the label,” Mike explains. “If it’s made in China its obviously not vintage. It wasn’t until ‘86 that things started showing up from China.” But his shop is so much more than clothing. Original Star Wars action figures line the wall behind the counter; about 80 percent of them are still in their original packaging. There are also wide varieties of kitchenware, shoes, tables, lamps and most noticeably, guitars.
“A kid in an indie band just starting off can get a cool looking guitar that’s different from all the junk they sell for $100 at Guitar Center,” he explains. But by far his most interesting item is an old 50s miniature bomb shelter. It’s replica of a real bomb shelter used by salesmen looking for families who were afraid of nuclear warfare. While its unique, the $7,000 price tag isn’t enough to get Mike to sell it. Having so many diverse pieces draws a lot of attention. One of his biggest buyers was the producer of AMC’s hit TV show “Mad Men.”
One of his biggest buyers was the producer of AMC’s hit TV show “Mad Men” the items will sell to and the physicality of these buyers. He expresses the relationship between the year the clothing was made and its size. “Depending on clothes, when you get into the 1940s or 1950s clothes, a lot of the guys are bigger guys that like that stuff. So the smaller sizes you can’t do as much with.” He mentioned that the old 70s cowboy shirts he buys are on the smaller side, “because that’s what the skinny indie kids like to wear.” He also keeps an eye out for labels. One of the easiest ways to tell if a

The wall behind the counter is filled with rustic guitars. It’s probably the first thing you’ll notice upon entering the store. Most of them don’t have brand names on them in fact, I’m sure there’s nowhere in the country where you can get these guitars. They are Japanese vintage guitars ranging from 1940s-1970s and the price tag on them is cheaper than any old Gibson or Fender from that era. Mike takes pride in offering a stylish alternative from the beginning guitarist to a seasoned expert.
The set during the first three seasons had furniture that was bought from Out of Vogue. Unfortunately, the set designer doesn’t work for the show anymore leaving Mike without one of his biggest buyers. But profit was never the sole intention for the store. It’s the understanding of people and the joy he gets from selling antiques that makes him different than most sellers. In fact, he chooses not to compare his store to anyone else’s in the downtown area like Buffalo Exchange
or American Vintage, because quite frankly, there is no comparison. He doesn’t buy for today’s fashion. He ignores guidelines that try and fit vintage clothing into today’s trends. “I buy things that appeal to me,” he explains. “I always buy things thinking that if I don’t sell it, I have to keep it, so I better like it. A lot of vintage stores right now are about ‘90s vintage. To me, I’m like, that’s not vintage so I don’t care. The ‘90s happened last week.” To Mike, selling popular items would be to fill his store with “I Love Lucy” collectables, but he asks, “What’s so interesting about that?”
Running this store is never a chore for Mike he said that there hasn’t been one day yet that he’s come in and said to him “Man, I really wish I wasn’t here right now.” The interaction with people and how much he learns from the people he purchases items from is worth more than a profit. As for future stores opening around Southern California, don’t bet on it. Those who live in the Fullerton area be grateful for such a gem. His hands-on business isn’t something he’d want to risk losing by opening up stores in Santa Ana or Long Beach (where he’s been offered space). He is very much content with what he has now and isn’t interested in ‘taking over the world.’

t’s Saturday morning,
sun rays beaming in through the blinds are tickling your skin, and as you slowly wake up, you feel this flush of excitement: this is your first day off after a long week full of studying, exams and work shifts. You decide you deserve to sleep in and the only movement you will be making is to roll over to sleep for another hour. You victoriously turn off your alarm, flip your pillow and breathe a deep sigh of relief. However, there’s someone who isn’t happy with your decision. Your best friend sneaks up to your bed, jumps in, and starts licking your face as if it was covered in peanut butter. Man’s best friend… your dog! He has already finished his good night’s rest hours ago and spent all morning watching you, pacing around, waiting until you show signs of life. He has been cooped up all week, when you were gone for school and work, and short walks around the block aren’t enough anymore. Just like you, your dog needs to exercise and socialize.

Luckily, Orange County has many opportunities for you and your furry friend. For most OC residents, the beach seems to be the number one destination for the weekends, and there are a lot of options along Southern California’s jagged coastline. For dog-lovers, who want to share their beach fun with their canine companions, the closest option to Fullerton is Huntington Dog Beach, about 20 miles south of Fullerton. The 2,400 feet of dog-permitted beach stretch from Seapoint Street on the north to 21st Street on the south. It is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., every day of the year. Huntington Dog Beach was started by the late Martin Senate and a group of dog-owners in 1994 when they petitioned at Huntington City Hall, acquiring permission to use the stretch of land for dogs. The Preservation Society of Huntington Dog Beach has since then been funded solely through private donations, and members help on a volunteer basis to keep the beach clean and the doggie bag dispensers filled.

T.J. Daly, beach manager and president of the non-profit organization since Senate passed away in 2009, spends most of his time at Dog Beach, which explains his tanned skin. He often wears jeans and one of the Dog Beach shirts that are prodly deplayed. The cap on his head indicates that he knows this place well: it can get very hot and windy at Huntington Beach. During the week, Daly performs beach maintenance and on the weekends he sets up canopies at both ends to provide visitors with help and information. He sits in a campchair, surrounded by a selection of leashes, dog toys, zippers and t-shirts. Visitors who make a donation can choose a free gift from the Dog Beach merchandise. Daly always brings his own dog, too. Gambler, a Shetland sheepdog, is perched on top of one of the bags that are stuffed with t-shirts; the canopy at the beach seems like his second home. “My dog starts freaking out
four lights before we get here. They smell the ocean,” says Daly, smiling.
He lets his eyes wander across the beach, where doglovers come together daily to let their pets frolic, play and experience some freedom. You can’t tell if the guy, who is just throwing a tennis ball for his tail-wagging German Shepard, is a successful businessman, inhabiting one of the big villas near the beach, or if he is a college student, enjoying some time off before he has to clock in at the coffee shop in a couple of hours. You see happy families, laughing children, and of course small and big dogs chasing and playing with each other, often jumping into the water to cool off. “They call it ‘Doggy Disneyland’,” says Denis Hite, the longest serving beach representative, who has been with the organization since the beginning. “It’s like one big happy family. A lot of happy dogs, and a lot of happy people,” Daly adds. Hite, his companion at the canopy, is shaking his head in disagreement. “[There are] always a few unhappy, just to make it interesting,” he says. Hite is alluding to homeowners who live close by. “They try to get us closed down. [They] got together and complained about dog poop on the sidewalk,” explains Daly. Annoyed neighbors are not the only problem that this nonprofit organization has to deal with. “This is what pays for the Dog Beach, all funded by memberships and donations,” says Daly, pointing at the flyers for membership registration

Fullerton Pooch Park was established in June 2007 after a group of citizens petitioned to use the park space located next to the Hunt Branch Library as an off leash dog park. The park is run by volunteers of the Fullerton Dog Park Foundation, a non-profit organization. The Pooch Park is 1.5 acres divided into a large dog area, a small dog area, and a ‘chip park.’ It is open 7 a.m. to approximately 8 p.m., six days a week (it is closed every Wednesday for maintenance).

ver been stranded in a stall with no toilet paper in the restrooms on campus, or tried to sit down in the cafeteria but found a mess at the tables, or noticed the dust on the shelves in the library, or all the old gum all over the pavement in the quad and around campus? Probably not, because these are very rare occurrences, should they ever occur at all. The students, faculty and staff on campus are fortunate to have a maintenance and operations crew that takes care of all these things before they can be noticed. So instead, the crew goes unnoticed, as campus-goers tend to expect the bathrooms to be properly stocked, the cafeteria tables to be wiped clean and sanitary, the trash to be emptied and not overflowing, and the library to be dust-free. There is so much effort and hard work put in to this school campus behind the scenes that can so easily be overlooked on a busy day and just taken for granted. However, ask Facilities Director Chris Fighera, and that’s how she likes to keep it. Because, “when you notice it is when it’s bad.” Her office is a homey space of organized chaos with the typical computer sitting at an L-shaped desk with lots of loose papers that require her attention as well, and as her radio blows up about an overflowing toilet in the library, there is a wood carving of a phrase hanging above to remind her that “It’s all good.” Some of the hard-working custodial staff (From left): Tony Nava, Pedro Castillo, Robert Morgan, Estela Villegas, Pearl Olmos, Maureen Aranda and Henry Rivera.

To the right of all this commotion is even more paperwork that she is in charge of. Neatly stacked next to each other, on top of a filing cabinet, are five very full two-to-three inch binders. These binders contain manuals of all the compliances for each of the new buildings that have gone up within the last five years, as Fighera also serves as the liaison between the new construction and the already existing facilities now as well. This job for her entails making sure that any new equipment (electrical wiring, plumbing, or gas lines, etc.) appropriately coincides with the old and meets DSA (Department of State Architects) and Fire regulations and codes. When she’s not walking around campus with the fire department, examining every single room on every floor, including the roof and basement (which usually takes around 12 full days out of the year), or restricted to her computer, she is out taking care of her favorite duty: helping the custodial staff. I’m here to help them, the help starts here!” she exclaims of her unusual servanttype leadership. Fighera wants only the best she can give to her staff, and does an exceptional job making sure that they have needed tools and appliances so that they can do their jobs safely and properly. Fighera’s custodial crew consists of workers on campus almost 24-7 between all the shifts which run: 10 p.m.- 6:30a.m., 4a.m.-12: 30p.m., 6 a.m.-2:30 p.m. (16 people), 12:308:30 p.m. (two people), and 2 p.m.-10:30 p.m. (only one person). And to think there once was a time (well before Chirs Fighera arrived) when there was nobody working a day shift. How did they do it all? When you ask the lovely Estella Villegas, the most senior custodian on the staff and she will tell you,Villegas who has also had the most square footage to cover on campus. She worked 14 years on graveyard shifts. Manicuring wood in the old library and detailing all the rooms and halls within it as well as the old 400 building to name just a few jobs she did each night. It wasn’t until the new library opened in 2005 that she was the first to work a day shift, from six in the morning until two-thirty in the afternoon. “We are always looking for the best ways and new ideas to work and make the campus better.”
Just one of the many different responsiblities the day crew has is cleaning the schools pool. Torch • 19
Along with her is Pearl Olmos; together they are like two peas in a pod, even often finishing each other’s sentences. Olmos gloats about her hard working friend, Villegas, and refers to her as her “mother hen.” The 200 building is Pearl’s home away from home. “It’s really kinda like a hotel,” she explains, and she runs it like the manager, making sure her building is not just presentable, but immaculate. This includes table set-ups in the upstairs conference rooms, restrooms, elevators, hallways, and of course the cafeteria. She does an expert job keeping graffiti and carvings off the new, Hogwarts-like tables (and she also thanks the students for that), as that was a primary concern of hers upon learning that they would be wood only the bad.

believes that when people on campus, as well as management, stay positive and work to motivate each other, the workers are going to work better. Olmos agrees. She knows that “it’s not about the accolades.” She happily continues, “but I can honestly say that 99% of the people that we work with, the employees that are not custodial or maintenance, are very kind hearted with us. They know how hard we work and what it takes, and we take pride because of that.” Olmos admits that she doesn’t like complaining, but sometimes it’s hard not to, and reassures that she sees it’s only fair she tell both sides- the good and bad. The girls could not do it alone though, and they know this. Humbly wanting to be sure that this matter was understood, Olmos adds that “it really takes a whole crew” or a “village” as she often referrs to the team. It is everyone pulling together, doing his or her part that makes the campus run so well. From the one locksmith (more endearingly known as “the key guy”) on campus, Bob Mirieta, to John Begano, the “everything guy” (as the girls call him) whom works as a mechanic and electrician on campus. There is the pool mechanic and carpenter, David Wriker and Mike Sprague who goes out at night on a big Zambonilike vehicle to clean the parking garage, and a couple of the girls’ fellow custodians, Henry Rivera and Robert Morgan, and their manager Javier Sierra, Supervisor Chris Gomber, Cynthia Wafer who takes all the radio calls, Chris Fighera and the Vice President, Mike Perez are just a few that make it all work. The girls stress that there are numerous hands that go into all of the operations on campus to keep it clean and running smoothly, and they are just four of them. After all of the hard work that these amazing people put in on campus, they just hope that students remember that their help is a lot of help.

Health W
StreSS Much?
By Suleymi Recinos
e’ve all been there- more units than you can handle, annoying bosses, relationship drama, backstabbing friends, you name it. Well it’s time to take control! Fullerton College’s Deanna Farsakh shares her knowledge about what is really on students’ minds when they say they’re stressed. She gives us her advice to living a better life and avoiding serious health issues. Q: What do you notice are some of the most common types of stress students on this campus have? A: They’re stressed about everything. Traffic, parking, school work, relationship issues, work issues, picking their majors, forming their relationships. Q: What methods of stress relief do you recommend or see as most effective? A: Exercise because it’s the natural outlet for the body. Yoga and Taichi are two forms. Activities such as journaling, making music, aroma therapy, drinking chamomile tea, seeing colors such as green and blue, warm bathes to wind down. It mainly comes down to whatever makes the person happy and that doesn’t hurt them.
22 • Torch
Q: If stress isn’t managed or taken care of what health effects could take place? A: •Skin disorders such as: boils, psoriasis, acne. •Gain or lose weight. •Stomach ulcers and Acid Reflux disease •Heart attack/ stroke- elevated heart rate and elevated blood pressure during stress causes the heart to pump faster, causing blood pressure to rise. •Lower white blood cell count- immune system weakens due to stress and more likely to catch infections and colds.
Q & A
Q: What do you advise students to do when they are feeling stressed? A: I advise students to take it one step at a time, and ask for help if your feeling overwhelmed. Counseling with a PhD licensed psychologist is free for six visits the whole time students are attending Fullerton College.
They are available five days a week, and each session consists of forty five minutes. If the student should want more than six sessions the psychologist will work with the student to link them up to an outside referral. Q: What are habits students forming due to stress? A: •Smoking •Overeating, or not eating enough. Some overeat to take stress out on food. •Insomnia •High irritability and aggressiveness. •Drinking a lot of caffeine which causes dehydration if there isn’t enough water intake.

alking into a bar full of men who ride Harleys, wear a specific color and represent a specific symbol without being nervous or timid would probably a hard thing to do, right? Now how about this? Walk into a bar full of men riding Harleys, wearing a specific color but that symbolize authority and call themselves police men. Would the feeling of hesitation go away? Why is it that only certain men can associate themselves with a color, symbol, or object and not make the “general public” feel threatened? In today’s society there are many different ways of determining how the general public should view a man. We have our politicians, police men, athletes, religious groups, etc. All have something in common. The people involved with them represent themselves in a manner that allows the general public to know who they are associated with. Media outlets influence how we perceive these groups of individuals. Each of these groups have had positive and negative experiences with the manner in which the media outlets decide to portray their actions, but none have been affected the way biker clubs have from by media. Politicians, and members of religious groups have been involved in countless acts of sex scandals, drug abuse and violence that have been publicized. You can find endless amounts of articles about these groups

using their colors, symbols and objects they are associated with to justify their actions. But do you? Some of these people choose to do good while others do wrong, but none of their actions will change the way we perceive them. Why is this? Because the media will only give them what I like to call a slap on the wrist. Yes they are told they did wrong and are “punished� for their actions, but in reality their actions do not punish them in a way that will affect them just for being associated with a group of men. This is when we need to ask ourselves, why members of these groups can commit the same crime as a biker club member but be looked at completely different than the biker? We can argue that these men involve themselves in different circumstances and are around different walks of life, but it could simply be due to the fact that the media tells us one man’s colors
are good while the others are bad. The Hells Angels, Mongols, Pagans, Outlaws, Sons of Silence, Warlocks, Highwaymen, Bandidos, Free Souls, and Vagos are the top ten biker clubs in the eyes of the media. If you are familiar with these names you are familiar with the actions of these clubs. Or at least you may think you are. The men that wear the name, color and patch of their specific club are not only representing their loyalty to their club, but are constantly suffering for the choices of their other group members. The media takes advantage of their rough outer appearance and the fact that they ride Harleys and turn them into what the public will view as monsters. The problem with this
“Don’t believe everything you hear, or even see.” - Eddie Jones Chapter President
picture is not only the idea of these men having a bad reputation, but the fact that because of the reputation, they will always suffer worse consequences than others who commit the same crimes. If an NBA star and a biker both get caught for dealing drugs, raping a woman, or theft, who will get the bigger punishment? Whether we want to admit it or not, the biker will suffer more for his unlawful actions than the NBA star due to the simple fact that the media portrays NBA stars as good and bikers as bad. An NBA star doing wrong will not affect the way the public views them as a whole, while one biker doing wrong will, of course, affect the way the public views bikers as a whole, that doubble standard needs to stop, according to president of a chapter, Eddie Jones, one of the notorious bike clubs stated.

“Don’t believe everything you hear, or even see.” he says. This is as simple as the saying there are two sides to every story. He explained that he joined the club for a brotherhood. “I wasn’t close to my family growing up, I always felt excluded from the family events, I wanted a brotherhood and joining the club is where I found it.” These clubs are big on brotherhood and being loyal. One of the Hangarounds (who doesn’t want to be nammed) adds, “I am interested in this club because I am sick of unloyal people in my life, I want people I can trust and I know will have my back.” The fact that these men stay true to one another attracts them to the club, regardless of media attention. “I am proud to wear my colors and of who I am, if it weren’t for the club I would most likely be in prison or dead,” explains Jones. These men unite and work together to help each other, but because of the media attention we are forced to believe something like this could never be true. “Times have changed, we are not the way our brothers were when the club started, we have worse consequences for our actions and authority needs to see the modern reality of who we are” says Jones. It has even influenced those traid to protect and serve Jones. Many films shown to police in training about these bike clubs are films from the ‘70s, showing graphic details of men that are no longer an influence on the members. “I was standing in a bar and a cop made me go outside for questioning. When I got there, there were about fifteen cops just for me. They took pictures of my tattoos, my bike, and me. They questioned me and got all of my information. I still don’t know

why it was necessary. I didn’t do anything but stand in my bar in my colors. I actually thought it was pretty funny they thought they needed that many men to take me outside and ask me questions.” Many of these men experience situations like this. They are only seenand often judged for their interest in bikes and their outer appearance. This biker is a family man. He has children, a good job and lives in a nice neighborhood. “My club is a family club, it’s unfortunate that they [the media] take the actions of our father members and think they can even think we could be the same, times have changed, laws have changed, but mainly consequences have changed.”added Jones,” We have families but because of who we are we suffer greater consequences. I tend to think a lot more before doing anything.” “They are nothing but men in vests riding Harleys,” one of the Hangarounds stated. A biker stuck between a reputation influenced by the media and reality can only be seen as more than a color if we ourselves open our eyes.

ANDROGYNY ANDROGYNY ANDROGYNY Androgyny
Written By: Christopher Vincent Photography by: Kelsee LaRue
F
or most androgyny is considered taboo, for some it is an art and for others it’s something to stare at. Androgyny is having the characteristics or nature of both male and female. It’s that exclamation in your head that makes you ask “Is that a boy or a girl?”. It is beautiful, terrifying, and exciting all at once. Some famous androgynous figures include Boy George lead singer of Culture Club, Grace Jones a singer song writer of the 1980’s, Tilda Swinton a scottish actress, and Pete Burns lead singer of 80’s band dead or alive. Androgyny thrived off the 80’s music culture with Madonna, David Bowie, Annie Lenox, and Belle Stars. While celebrated on stage, it is looked down upon off. In our culture, men and women have certain gender roles society puts forth. When they aren’t carried out, however, it’s viewed as taboo. Such gender roles include men being masculine and muscular and women being feminine and petite. Someone who is androgynous will blur the line between the two gender roles. Androgyny is commonly misinterpreted for transgender. Transgendered individuals are people whose sex does not match with their gender. Sex is commonly thought of as between your legs and gender as between your ears, meaning sex is what you’re biologically born as and gender is what you identify as. When someone’s sex is male but they identify as female they are transgendered. When they wish to undergo sex changing surgeries, they are transexuals.

What is androgyny to you? Criswell Correa: Oh my that is a difficult question. I would have to say like the best of both worlds. As stupid as that sounds. Kelli Leckie: Not going with the gender roles that are put in place and just being masculine or feminine or a combination of whatever I feel that day. Kristen Leckie: Androgyny to me is just not feeding into gender binary, just kind of in the middle of everything, do whatever you want.
Is there ever any confusion when you go out in public? CC: Oh tons, tons, tons. Everyone at school thinks i’m a girl, which is hilarious. Whenever I go in the mens’ room they start running out because they think it’s the girls’ room. Ke L: Yea, um anywhere I go I get the looks or the questions but I really don’t care. Especially in the bathroom. The bathrooms the worst. Kr L: Yea, a lot, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m me and if they don’t like it they don’t like it.
What do you look for when you go out shopping for clothes? CC: Black. Black and kind of conservative. Ke L: I go to the men’s section because it’s more comfortable, fits my body better usually, usually I look to see if they have the same thing in little boy’s since it’s cheaper and usually look for things to mix and match. Kr L: Just whatever’s appealing to my, whatever I feel like fits me the best. I don’t really have a set gender area that I go to. I just pick whatever I like.
Do you look at all for a certain gender of clothing? CC: Anything that can fit me. So if you find something in the women’s section you’ll wear it? Same in the men’s? Kr L: It’s pretty half half for me. I don’t go to one specifically.
Torch • 35
CC: Yea. Is there any particular story you’d like to share? CC: I went on a date before and this guy, I thought he was bi, but at the end of the date he told me he was straight and he thought I was a girl. Ke L: This weekend I was in Walmart and I overheard someone say is that a lesbian or a little boy? Kr L: A lot of the times just in the bathroom people are confused, but honestly it doesn’t bother me anymore. If they’re uncomfortable thats their deal. I’m comfortable with me. I’m comfortable going to the bathroom in the women’s’ bathroom. It’s fine with me. How did that go? CC: He was actually quite nice. He was very mature about it, but it was still awkward, we were just sitting there eating, not even looking at each other. So he found out you weren’t a girl during the date?
36 • Torch
What did he say about that? CC: He kind of like, I wouldn’t say gasped, but he choked a bit. And then he noticed I didn’t have any....boobs when I bent over to get something. He didn’t really ask, he kind of stated it, like ‘you’re a guy?’. I kind of didn’t say anything,
You just tend to ignore any discrimination in public. Kr L: Yea I just tend to ignore it, but if it’s really bad, if they’re making me uncomfortable then i’ll make them really uncomfortable. I’ll try to really play on what they think I am. If they think i’m a man sometimes i’ll try to be funny and really try to represent myself as a man just to I sank in my seat and just... How does that make you feel? Ke L: I don’t really care because unless it’s malicious it’s ‘oh well I don’t really care what you think’. So you just brush it off? Ke L: Yea, I don’t really mind it at all. level. When were you uncomfortable? Kr L: Just a few times like I don’t know at school people just get really, um, they’ll mutter stuff under their breath but honestly it doesn’t bother me enough to really
make them really uncomfortable. Do you avoid bathrooms? CC: Oh every chance I get I never go to the bathroom unless i’m in my own home. Ke L: Yea usually I do. Unless I know at like school theres a couple bathrooms I can go into that are usually empty just because it’s sometimes uncomfortable and it just raises my anxiety and sometimes I I just feel like I might actually be in danger. Some days I just don’t care. Kr L: I used to a lot, when I was really uncomfortable with myself, but the more I represent myself in a way thats comfortable towards me, it doesn’t bother me although if I went to the women’s bathroom and they have a problem, they have a problem. It’s not mine it’s theirs. It doesn’t bother me at all unless it were to get physical then I would obviously have to take it to the same
have to deal with it. Do you view yourself as androgynous? CC: Definitely. Ke L: Yea, I don’t apply any gender or gender roles or gender norms to myself. Kr L: I just view myself as me, as kristen, but I mean I guess if I had to put a label on it I guess it would
Torch • 37
probably be androgynous. Do you go out to look andro or is it just your style thats andro? CC: More like my style. Definitely more or less of how I feel during the day. Do you ever aim to be androgynous? CC: If I have to go to a special event and i’m specifically asked to dress in a certain way then yea i’ll try for it. Ke L: I just wake up and put on whatever I feel like putting on and whether or not that is androgynous or not because in general I don’t really care what I look like unless I like it. Kr L: Not really. I just honestly wear whatever I want. Whatever I feel comfortable in that day whether it’s a woman’s top a men’s top.
38 • Torch
Whatever it is. If someone asked you to be more feminine what kind of event would that be? CC: Mostly like LGBT kind of
events and if it was more like masculine it’s more like formal events. Now do you have a preference of how You want to dress? If you want to look more masculine or more feminine or a mixture of the
school? Ke L: I’ve sworn off dresses. They’re uncomfortable. What is your definition of Sex and Gender. CC: Hmm, sex..I don’t know. I’ve never given that a thought before. Do you want an example? Think of sex as between your legs and gender as between your ears. Sex is what you’re born as and gender is what you identify as.
two? CC: I never really thought about it. Just whatever I put on. Would you ever wear a dress to CC: I would have to agree with that. Every word of it. What is your definition of Sex and Gender. Ke L: I feel like theres not really a set definition but sex for the most part is associated what the doctors thought you are at birth because they don’t do anything besides looking so thats usually what it is and gender is just gender expression whether you identify as male, female, gender queer, or non binary. It’s whatever the person identifies as. Kr L: Honestly I feel like both of those are totally up to the person and how they feel in their own body but a lot of what society tells you is sex with what you’re labeled with when you’re born
and gender is what you present yourself as afterward. Can you explain what non binary is? Ke L: Non binary is just not identifying with male or female because the binary is just binary so it’s either male or female which is not correct then it means because not everyone is just one or the other so non binary is just like being whatever you feel like you are with out going along with the gender roles or gender norms that are set by society. So you don’t believe in the saying sex is between your legs and gender is between your ears? Kr L: I feel like it’s all in your mind and how you feel about yourself. I don’t think it’s anything physical. How do you feel about androgyny being more acceptable for females than it is for males.
CC: I think it’s totally unfair, but I do see a change of it, you know, like we’re kind of moving in slowly is the whole idea and I think people are getting more comfortable. Places i’ve been to they’ve been getting more comfortable. Ke L: Thats definitely how it seems society views it. It doesn’t make sense to me. Honestly I feel like anyone should have the right to dress or look however they wish to be so in my mind it’s just dumb. Kr L: I feel like it’s really ridiculous. I feel like no matter what you identify as you should be able to identify yourself as however you feel. Its your body, its your choice. It shouldn’t be of the concern of anyone else really. Where is that? CC: Just out, like normal people’s response to me is more positive than negative, they’d have to be like some bigot homophobic hateful person for me to get like a negative response from. Torch • 39

Breaking the Rules How to make things work for you!

tepping out of line is what fashion represents, making your own trends and finding your special route that represents your sense of style is what a true fashionista is. This season that’s exactly what breaking the rules stands for. Rules? What rules? It’s all about going against the mold and standing strong as in
individual. The age old rule of not matching one color from head to toe has been tossed aside. Match your shoes to your bag and to your clothing and even to your jewelry. It’s about finding the right balance of color like a great jewel tone red or blue that’s pops so that your look exuberate confidence. Selecting a single tone and using it top to toe also can bring focus to a great colored hair or eyes, and compliment a skin tone just right. Mixing prints is another trend the masses turns their back on. What better reason to do it, then to go against what other’s deeming unacceptable. Mix it all, your zebra, polka dots, cheetah, and floral prints in every aspect of your clothing. The mix of prints actually blends well with each other in a way with balanced accessories, such as a neutral, black, or brown shoes or purse.

hen you have all those lovely summer dresses stored in the back of the closet because of the change of season. Bring it out for the night time for California weather is always just right. On a nice dinner or nighttime dancing, the summer dresses are appropriate. An earth tone dress goes well with the changing season and shows just the right amount of skin. As your matching from head to toe another rule can be broken. Don’t match from head to toe. Mix the colors like all earth tones, or bright tones together so the look has some kind of coordination. Not matching brings out the fashionista in every girl. Also you have the dreaded ugly sweater, a sweater used to only bring out the shameful. Not today! Wear an ugly sweater proud because they have such funky color coordination, and have a powerful color to them. When paired with an equally funky belt or black pants, shorts, or skirts the look is not ugly but beautiful. Breaking the rules of the fashion is the new trend in season. As it’s a trend it’s not actually, it’s a choice of the true fashionista create their own style based upon what doesn’t usually seem right. That’s exactly what this season is; trying new looks and making statements where others stop, look and think but appreciate.

n 2007, high school friends Anthony Gomez and Andrew James started a clothing line that represented the love they have for their city, Los Angeles. They called it FlyLA. Before launching the line, Gomez took classes at Mt. SAC and James studied art at Fullerton College. The two decided to sacrifice school and dropped everything to follow their passion in an effort to make their dream come true. They created the brand and gave FlyLA their full attention. For James, it was an easy choice because it fits what he believes. “Do what you love, follow your passion, not the money,” explains James about what guides him thought life. Gomez and James used all of the money they saved up from working their regular jobs to fun the production of FlyLA. They created t-shirts to give out at event, gave some to friends and family to distribute and to ‘get the word out’ about the new clothing brand. Growing up in Whittier, and having the support for friends and family, they worked hard to create and build the brand. They did what they could to help get the FlyLA name out to the masses. Even today, they continue market as much as they can and the guys are always excited to start new marketing ideas. “We hope to get a photo shoot going on of men and women wearing different items we have”, explains James. They are starting new merchandise lines like women’s shirts, stickers, and ‘snap-back’ hats. “Diversity is key,” says Gomez. “It’s rare to keep it rare.” The two want to focus the brand on the LA community, which includes a variety of Hip-hop, Rock, Reggie, metro, casual, women, and the skate community. FlyLA has participated in music shows representing ‘The Knux’ and they also took part in Hollywood’s ‘Fuze it World Wide’ fashion show. The team of FlyLA is still designing new shirts and producing new products. But the two continue to keeping the brand somewhat low key for now. Not feeling the pressure to grow quick. They’re

trying to grow it slow and stable. They don’t want any “haters” or disturbance from others. “We have lost friends through this process of FlyLA, some people want free shirts or free entrance to shows, but we have to make money too,” says James. “Some of our friends got jealous and wanted in on our project.” Despite being offered a deal to give up the rights to FlyLA by a much larger apparel company, the duo would never take their hands off the product they’ve nurtured. They continue to learn how to build a strong clothing brand, work on their website and maintain a large inventory for their consumers. They fulfill the demands of the customers, selling new produces like women’s tanks, women’s sizes of shirts and new shirt designs, and unisex accessories. They are now getting their feet wet with a new venture called Dub Citi, a company that produces shows for upcoming music artists. The collaboration with artists will gain attention for both Gomez and James with FlyLA and Dub Citi. Since those early years, the brand has continued to grow. While they now have a team of designers and extended help working for the company, Gomez and James continue to work the hard to keep the brand alive and true to the city they love. After all, FlyLA stands for ‘Forever Loving You LA’. Watch out SoCal, a new clothing brand has emerged and is heading to every young person who enjoys fashion, music, and individualism.

irst off, I would like to ask... who stoll all of my pens this semester. I started the semester with six, an i now am down to only two. I would like them back, they are Pilot G-2 0.5. Thanks. Alright, now on to the important stuff. If you question my choice of noun, please don’t, the word “stuff� I have chosen to use puts all of the documents, stories, photograhs, ideas, brainstorms, information ect. into a simple defining catagory that groups it simply into one simple catagory. I will now contiune. [Pause, breathe, continue] Ok, I hope you all enjoyed this issue of Fullerton College Torch magazine. Every semester is diferent, it has a spirit of its own. This semester, everyone will agree had ALOT of energy! In the first few weeks the room was a blaze with ideas flying around much like sparks of flames you see flying around at a bonfire.
What you have in your hands is just a small collection of the many ideas that were created in the early parts of the semester and now brought together in a printed presentation for you to enjoy. When I sat in the class brainstorm and listned to all of these ideas being passed all around, the first thing that came to mind was how to bring these stories to life visually. As a photographer and artist I take great pride in great work, and that is what my goal was. The collection of photographs merit great display to compiment the stories being told here in the Torch. Some of the stories that you probbaly have come across in this magazine might have caught your attention both something new and suprising or just something that sounded intresting or helpful. But, afterall, that is the goal of the Torch for it is a collection of students ideas to be shared with this issue.
One of the many shoots that happend this semester was that for the Androgyny article. With the help of the FC Photography Program which the Torch is very thankful of their equpment and the always wonderful skill of the Fullerton Cosmotology Department, a great shoot was able to be shot for the magazine. A variety of styles were saught. When it came to laying out the different features that are seen in this magazine. In past issues that I have worked on we played up two-page spreads. Not this time, I branched off to a simple typography oppener, or to inspiration from modern art. Like in past semesters and on into the future for the Torch, we will continue to push on with a bit of new mixed with a bit of old, pushing this magazine farther along here at Fullerton College. The desire to try new things and keep the tradition remains, and the staff looks to what is just beyond the horizon as the Torch blazes on into the future.
