why. do. you. exist. It's like you are here to remind me the fun is over and it's time for work. I know already. I think we feel Monday so bad because our good times seem like they last forever on Friday and then Monday hits and we still have a taste for more. Why I must ask? Does that mean we are missing something? Maybe that's the reason we are mad at Monday's because it reminds us that nothing last forever and you have to capture the moment and live in it while it is happening. That is something many don't realize while the moment is happening. Live in it, Capture it and keep it forever. The good moments we share helps us stay afloat when the bad times come along. Don't miss it.
Sunday night marked the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, honoring teenagers’ favorite pieces of pop culture from not only film, TV, and music, but fashion, sports, and online as well. KYLE opened the show singing his hit single “iSpy” alongside Lil Yachty, who then performed “Forever Young.” Miley Cyrus was awarded the show’s highest honor, the ultimate choice award, for her decade-long involvement with Teen Choice. Bruno Mars, who couldn’t be at the awards show while on his 24K Magic Tour, accepted the visionary award through a video. He then surprised fans with a preview of his new “Versace on the Floor” music video featuring Zendaya. You can watch the official video here “Riverdale” was the big winner of the television section, winning all seven of the categories for which it was nominated. Fifth Harmony also impressed, winning all three of their nominations. Some honorees used their speeches as a platform to spread awareness given recent events in Charlottesville, Va. “With all the injustice and hatred and everything that is happening, not only in the world but in our country right now, I need for you young people to be educated, I need you to listen, I need you to pay attention, and I need you to go ahead and understand you have a voice and it is OK to use it when you see something bad happening,” Zendaya said while accepting the award for choice summer movie actress. “Do not let people tell you what you should feel.”

ADRIANNA DI LELLO How did you get into acting and was it a first love? What kind of roles do you hope you play in the future? My first love was dancing. I began dancing when I was 3 years old but always did musical theater I am really hoping that I can continue to do comedy numbers. My teachers encouraged me to work on and a range of roles in other genres. I love comedy not just my dance technique, but also my though. It feels very natural to me. performance quality. That naturally led to acting. After some begging my parents agreed to find me Do you have any upcoming projects? an agent and then my acting career began almost immediately. My first acting role took place at a We are promoting the second season of Backstage, musical theater camp where I got to act, sing and a Disney show about a performing arts high school. dance! I play a ballerina which again allows me to do something else that I love, dance! How did you get the role in Annedroids? I auditioned for the role, was called back to do chemistry reads with the other two leads on the show, Jadiel and Addy. Our chemistry was so obvious right from the beginning. They are great people and working with them was one of the best experiences of my life.
How did you get into dance and what do you plan to do with that talent?
I have an older sister who is a great dancer. Just like any younger sister you look up to your older siblings and want to be just like them. I wanted to dance just like her. I hope to continue dancing. It is a wonderful way to express yourself while also How did it feel when you found out you were staying fit. nominated for an Emmy? I was shocked. My mom got the call from my agent. She was in the other room and I could hear her screaming out. I initially thought something was wrong and then when I got on the phone with my agent he told me the news. I was so thrilled! Still a bit shocked! How does a young girl prepare for such an amazing event?
What is your advice to young girls like you who want to get into acting? I was fortunate to be on a show, Annedroids, that helped break down stereotypes about young girls and other issues like same sex marriage and single parent families and diversity. I would say to girls that no matter what role you are playing to know that you are capable of things that you haven't even imagined for yourself. Study hard. Acting is something that you work at just like anything else. And be kind to yourself. You will make mistakes and that's ok. That's when all the good learning really takes place.
It was so much fun. My friend and cast mate, Addison Holley was also nominated in the same category so we got to experience the event together! We planned our outfits and got our hair done and make up. We did most of the media events together too which was also so fun! Tell her how much you loved her interview by following her on Twitter @

FETISH
A GIRL IN WONDERLAND WRITTEN BY JASMINE MATOS
I’m quirky. I dress up to go to the grocery store and I sing along to Elvis Presley when I’m taking a shower. I’m obsessed with cat decor and I adore the color pink. I prefer staying in and reading a good book to going out and partying. James Dean is my Justin Bieber and I’m not much of a camper. You’re probably wondering why I’m telling you all these random facts about myself like I’m on a first date. Why am I telling you things about myself when you as a reader don’t even know me? Why should you know my favorite food (Pizza) and my favorite movie (Breakfast at Tiffany’s) when you cracked open this magazine to get a quick read? I want whoever reads this to know me. All the bits and pieces. The good, the bad, and the super weird. Okay, maybe not the SUPER weird but I want us to be friends. I want you to laugh with me and feel something when you read my work. I want this little relationship we have as writer and reader to be like a friendship. Like you’re at your favorite coffee shop with a hot cocoa talking with a good friend. So sit down, grab a cup of your favorite drink and let’s get to know each other.
share the same values and tastes. I didn’t enjoy partying, my music taste was a little out there, and so were my outfits. Everyone seemed to mesh together perfectly, and I stood out like a missing puzzle piece. I was running late one day during my freshman year and I ran to catch the bus that normally took me to my morning lecture. I enjoy dressing up for pretty much any occasion so it was no surprise I was wearing something dressy on this day. I, however, usually arrived early to the bus stop and was one of the first people to get on. Thankfully the bus driver saw my frantic waving and opened the doors for me. The bus was packed with students and they all stared at me when I walked on. Normally this wouldn’t bother me, but I noticed their eyes were directed at my outfit. I was sporting a pair of black overalls and an off the shoulder crop top. I was totally feeling it in the mirror before I left my dorm, but now it was making me feel like a complete dork. For a split second, I regretted my choice but then I realized this is who I am. I feel confident in this. Why do I care so much about what other people think? So I put my headphones and a big smile. I blasted my music and tightened the straps of my overalls.
Like a lot of girls growing up; I liked the color pink, I wanted to be a Disney princess, and I took ballet lessons. I didn’t like to get dirty, I collected Barbie dolls, and I wore dresses to school. Now as a twenty-yearold college girl, I’ve changed quite a bit but I still adore the color pink. When I started college, I realized how different I was than other girls my age. There was nothing wrong with these girls, but I just didn’t
Now as a junior, I express myself through my outfits. I found friends who share my taste in music and I smile at the confused stares. I’m not cookie cutter… and that’s totally ok. I’m a girl living in her own wonderland. I see things through rose colored glasses. I learned to embrace my quirkiness and I want you to do the same. This is for anyone who feels different and is thinking about changing. Don’t change.

GUIDELINES FOR A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH A CREATIVE WRITTEN BY HEYMISSCHRISSY
Ok. If you’re reading this you either date a creative or you want to date one. So here’s the real deal. Dating a creative can be one of the most beautiful things in the world. Whether your significant other is a singer, dancer, designer, rapper, painter, producer (or anything else in the creative realm) dating a creative is awesome because you get a front row seat to watch the person you like do something they love. Sounds pretty perfect right? Not all the time.
A lot of the time, from the outside looking in, people may assume that dating someone who is pursuing a career in the art or entertainment industry is simple and “fun”. Some may even go after an individual strictly for their status in their field (a terrible idea). Many of these relationships end up failing not only because people get into them for the wrong reasons, but also because certain things aren’t understood from day one. If done correctly, dating a creative can be a beautiful process. Here are some guidelines to help your relationship with a creative to be a success.
1. Be their number one fan.
3. Understand that networking is not flirting.
This may seem obvious but as hard as it may be to believe, many creatives are in relationships with individuals who don’t support their craft. Why would you date someone when you aren’t interested in the very thing that they consider their passion? The answer is unknown, yet it still happens. As a creative, (especially if you’re still on that underground, lesser known, local level) support means everything. Sometimes it can become discouraging performing in empty venues, not booking enough shoots a month, or not selling enough artwork. This is why it’s very that if you’re in a relationship with a creative you show active interest in their craft and support them 100 percent. Go to their shows. Look at their designs. Listen to their beats. Even things like a simple repost or share of their work can mean a lot. Showing a consistent, genuine interest in your significant artists work may mean the difference between a break up or a successful relationship.
In order for your creative to make it beyond anything other than being a local artist, they’re going to have to do some talking. A lot of it. If you’re out at an event and you see your significant other talking and mingling with other artists or people in their field, don’t be that person to become jealous and cause a scene. Keep in mind that networking is the only way to become introduced to bigger and better platforms. A lot of times you may think something is something that it’s not. With that being said, open lines of communication are always a must. Don’t assume anything and always ask questions. Imagine snapping on your guy about that “girl with the tight dress” that he seemed to be talking to a lot at his show only to find out she was trying to get his information to send to a major record label in hopes of getting him signed. Ooooh. That’s embarrassing.
2. Give them their space to work. One thing that a lot of people don’t seem to understand when noticing someone’s art or music or any other creative result is the amount of time and energy that goes into the process. While the results may be beautiful, the process itself can be long, grueling and sometimes draining. Your creative (if they’re serious about their craft) is going to spend hours upon hours working on it so that they can present a quality product. They aren’t going to be able to lay up under you all day every day. They aren’t going to be able to sit on FaceTime all night. You can’t be “clingy” and have a successful relationship with an aspiring creative. It just won’t work. Understand that they need time and space to themselves to work. The best way to deal with this is to learn the schedule of the times they are dedicating to their craft and work around it. Sometimes they might want you to accompany them to that studio session or photo shoot, but other times they may want to be alone for focus purposes. Understand that and as long as they’re being reasonable, work with them and find a happy balance. It will pay off in the long run.
4. Fans and groupies come with the territory. If you’re dating someone who is talented, fans will come. And if you’re dating someone who is talented and is somewhat attractive, groupies will come. Watch how your significant other responds to them and respond accordingly. If you see them entertaining groupies as more than groupies then it may be best to leave. However, if you see that your significant other is paying these groupies no mind, then do the same. Fans and groupies are part of the territory and if your girl/guy isn't making them relevant then neither should you. Keep it moving and remember most of them are fighting for a title that you already have. Creatives are interesting people and dating a creative can be even more interesting. Now that you’re aware of most of the ins and outs, you are now prepared to make your relationship with your creative a successful one.

ASIA MONET
How do you feel even now being the youngest to win the Star power National Championship?
How was the experience of having your own docu series?
When I look back, it was such a great feeling of completion at that age. I think at 5 years old, I was just excited to be on stage, but now I think...wow anything is possible if you believe and work hard.
Raising Asia was definitely a crazy experience, but through the good and bad times , I've learned from it and Im a stronger person from it now. I deal with a lot of different thing in my life. My choices are mine and I'm in such a happy place right now. I am glad to be past the Reality TV phase in my life.
What made you decide to be apart of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition? Abby's Ultimate Competition came out of nowhere! Lifetime happened to find me on YouTube, contacted my mom and they found out that I was turning 6 years old, which was way too young for the show at the time and that it wasn't going to work. Months went by and we got another call that they were still interested in me being on the show and would see if they could clear it. Long story short I ended up on the show, but due to my age, I could only be on set a short amount of time, which was less then the other teen dancers. I still convinced my mom to let me go on the show. I ended up going all the way to the finale, which was a win for me. It was crazy, but at the end I learned so much. You then ended up moving to Dance Moms, how was the change? I was offered a spot on Dance Moms, which at the time I had never heard of before, but my mom really didn't think I should be on the show. I wanted to at least dance and try it out. We ended up in Pittsburgh filming for Season 3, which was a total of 24 episodes. The change was shocking, but I adapted well and just took one day at a time. Being the youngest on the show that season, I tried to fit in but being an outsider was a challenge as well. In your opinion where should a dancer start if not on TV? I think as a dancer you need to start with some form of guidance or a mentor to make sure your foundation is strong. You also need to experience some form of competition, so you can be pushed and know what you need to improve on. You should push yourself to do different styles of dance that you're uncomfortable with so you can learn to grow.
Was it an easy decision when Lifetime brought it to you? When Lifetime offered my own show, I was excited! But my mom was worried it would be your typical reality series and not a docu-series. But at the end of the day, you just have to give the opportunities that come to you a chance. You learn from it, you take it as a another experience, and then you move on to better things. What made you venture off to acting? I always wanted to act and sing but going from one show to another I didn't have the time to focus on it consistently. I love the process of studying acting and want to continue to focus on growing with my acting. I still have so much to learn! It's not easy, but I'm willing to put in the time and sacrifice other activities right now. What has been your favorite role to play? I really liked the role of Jasmine on Grey's Anatomy, the character was challenging but at the same time I love the strength and emotion it made me have to really stay focused and in the moment. How was the Grey's Anatomy set? I love the cast and crew from the show! The set of course was amazing, it looks just like a real hospital. I was so grateful to land that role. Did you meet any cast regulars? Yes, my scenes were with all of the regulars!

MODEL AND ACTRESS, AVA ALLAN TALKS HER TIME ON PRETTY LITTLE LIARS
AVA ALLAN
Model and Actress, Ava Allan reached a big high in her career this year when she got her own character on the last season (EVER) of Pretty Little Liars. The character was a sassy mean girl named Alison. June 27th was the last PLL episode EVER! Crazy right? What was the last day of shooting like on set? Being a part of the last episode ever for Pretty Little Liars was so surreal! The table read was very emotional for the cast and crew... lots of tissues were being passed around. It was a bittersweet moment. My last day on set was again, very bittersweet! I watched the show since I was 10, so even from a "fan" point of view I was sad to know it was ending. I was also really excited for everyone to see the finale though, because Marlene King did a kick ass job of directing and writing the finale episode! Do you think you and your character have anything in common? No! Haha. Addison is a mean girl and lies and creates drama. She's definitely someone I am not! But that's why she was incredibly fun to play. What will you miss most about playing on PLL? The funny lines I got from the writers...! Addison was such a feisty, sassy character and Oliver Goldstick did a great job at making her come to life in the first episode she appeared in. What kind of character is your favorite to play?
All different characters! It's hard to just choose one... I love anything with depth. I like a challenge. I would say drama is definitely my favorite. How do you prepare before getting on camera? I just get into my character. I let the makeup, hair and wardrobe departments take of the rest. You and your sister recently posted a new video together on YouTube. Why is it important to have someone close like that in this business? It's the best because we understand each other. The excitement, the busy schedules, the endless amount of hard work, the dedication, the rejection, the love and passion for our careers- we share and understand it all. I'm really thankful that I'm so close with my sister. Summer is coming to an end and fall is slowly approaching. What is your favorite fall essentials? Big baggy sweaters, ankle boots, dark nail polish and lipstick. Also lattes (coffee is my thing year round though) (; Follow Ava on these networks: Twitter / AvaAvaAllan Instagram/ AvaAllan Facebook / Ava-Allan Youtube / AvaAllanActress Snapchat / AvaAllanSnaps
