Emmanuel Gutierrez (MannyMUA) is well known for his presence on YouTube. However, YouTube wasn’t his first option. Originally, he was in pre-med school. Although, somehow, he ended up in the makeup industry.

“I was in pre-med, which was such a different route for me. I was so interested in makeup but I got such pressure to follow what my family and friends wanted me to do.”- Manny atManny “MannyMUA” Gutierrez VidCon 2016.

Many see this collaboration as a big deal because it is showing that makeup is gender neutral and helping to put an end to the social stigma of that not being true.

Now many are realizing that beauty isn’t just a thing for women, but for men as well.

Manny wants all of you to , “lash like a boss”. This statement is more than it seems, it shows that no matter the gender, you can work minimal makeup to full face. Ω

El Paso is not a terribly fashion forward city... For now.

However, more and more younger people seem to be leaving the city and returning with innovative ideas and bringing back more of the latest trends back to El Paso.

Many of these people have become teachers in school classes involving newer technologies and vocational programs, such as the ones offered at CCTE. Jacob Alaniz set out to the fashion design program. Three Rocket seniors are now in their second year of the class: Marcy Alderete, Ruby Alvarado, and Grace Muus; each working on their own clothing line to be displayed at the annual fashion show at the tech center.

Photographer Jacob Alaniz set up for a photoshoot with all three creative individuals’ articles of clothing that have

This year the self-proclaim Irvin Print Media Program changed gears in their news coverage ideas and decided to start theming their issues.

Theming the issues was a twofold plan to not only increase the reader rate of the newspaper but also to deliver information and news in a way that would interest the student body as well.

“I feel that not only going digital but also starting with something the kids like [fashion] will help us make enough waves to start coming back into the people’s collective consciences. You walk the halls and the only people who really know the name of the paper and the yearbook or that they even exist are Irvin alumni teachers or those who legitimately love journalism,” said Advanced Journalism Advisor Isaac Medina

The photography talent

amongst the journalism classes is by far at its highest this year and we can only hope that starting with images will get people hooked on the story as well.

“From a design perspective, it’s way different than just a regular newspaper. The Newspaper is boring and the magazine is more of a cultural thing.” Said senior photographer Jacob Alaniz

Although the “NewsMagazine” has faced financial and various other struggles the staff and advisor still strive to make it something that can be a becon to not only the school but the community as well.

“This is the 21st century, and if the district and my superiors wants me to teach them to understand the world they are inheriting after graduation, then the program and its practices need to match up,” said Medina.

90’s Trends

What’s all the rage about?

By Alyssa Lomeli

There are so many trends from the 90’s that shouldn’t ever come back, but some came back and are here to stay.

CHOKERS

If there was a trend that made a full comeback, it was definitely the choker. From the likes of Kylie Jenner to your neighbor down the street, everyone

DENIM JACKETS

Denim never really seems to go out of style, but it was extremely popular in the 90’s, with a loose, boxy style that was paired with almost any outfit. Today, the modern day jean jacket is a bit more fitted and cropped, but still with a flare that can be worn with almost every outfit.

was totally rocking the choker.

DARK LIPSTICK

Back in the 90’s, the only lipstick anybody used was either brown or berry, and today is no different.

CROP TOPS

The shrunken shirts are basically all the shirts that were in the closets of teenage girls in the 90’s. And there are more crop tops than ever in every school hallway and every street style star is rocking.

With Maybelline Blackest Berry lipstick and Urban Decay Vice lipstick in Blackmail, every lipstick brand has some sort of dark lipstick, just like how everybody from Drew Barrymore to Winona Ryder was wearing it then and now, celebrities like Taylor Swift and Zendaya are pulling off

At Irvin students have gave their opinion about this term. “I think that this term is good i do it but not often it all depends on my mood”.

Brenda Lopez explained in what occasion they would use athleisure. “The term is very useful and we can use frequently, I do it from Monday to Friday.

I usually use athleisure due to the fact that i am in the soccer team and we have to use clothing needed to be comfortable for practice”. Lesley Gaytan showed how big athleisure is in her life. “Its great that people dont have to dress up everyday, I dont really do athleisure but when i do its because I couldnt decide what to wear and it s in her life.
