+ time to grab some scrumptious baked goods at pattycake bakery. + words & photos: lexie alley
s a student at Ohio State, it has been my goal
this year to experience as much of what Columbus has to offer as possible. With a large college population, the city of Columbus has become known for its wide variety of eateries and shops. Pattycake Bakery has become one of the go-to places in Columbus, OH, known for their delicious baked goods that consistently receive rave reviews. There’s a catch though; everything is gluten-free or vegan, and they use all natural ingredients. Depending on the item, Pattycake Bakery goods are 65-90% organic, and 0-100% whole grain. Despite this, I’ve yet to meet anyone who can even tell the difference, with many saying that the bakery actually produces better deserts and treats than their non-vegan counterparts. I decided I needed to pay this bakery a personal visit. After waiting in line behind multiple buying dozens of cookies and cupcakes, I was greeted with a pleasant, warm smile and a hello. The shop is very small, with a chalkboard hand written with the vast array of options available. I was overwhelmed by choices and the smell of sweet sugar in the air. After some consultation it was suggested I try their fresh baked cinnamon rolls, which were still hot out of the oven, their strawberry cream filled cupcakes, or their tollhouse cookies. I ended up going for the strawberry cream filled cupcakes, and devoured one as soon as I got home (you know, to taste test) and I was blown away. It was perfectly moist, and the balance of all of the flavors and the light taste of strawberry was absolutely delicious. Had I not been told I would have never guessed the cupcake was vegan. I learned that Pattycake Bakery also hand-makes all of their baked goods, and the homemade taste is undeniable. If you are ever in the Columbus area, be sure to stop by this bakery and pick up a few treats for yourself. Pattycake Bakery also now has an online shop where you can order their baked goods and have them delivered to your home. They also have an ingredients listing there as well, if you’re curious just how they make their products. All around, it was a 5 star experience. I highly recommend it!

They brothers admit that they don’t even have a favorite video that they’ve made, saying “that’s like picking a favorite child, you just don’t do it!” Besides film, both brothers are really into music. “We’re very into music (hence a whole sitcom about it) and have a love for Saddle Creek bands: Cursive, The Faint, etc. Also, we really love certain metal bands, which was all we listened to when we were teenagers.” When asked if he ever wished they had pursued other careers, Benny responded “Never, though we’ve had other jobs. I worked in theme parks for parts of a decade prior to doing this, so it’s been a fun ride getting here literally.” His favorite part about what he does is the way they’re able to connect with their viewers. “[I love] being able to connect with people from around the world through our content. We really feel they are part of what we do every step of the way.” The Fine Brothers’ hard work and true passion has paid off. Recently, their YouTube channel reached over 5 million subscribers, and that is no easy feat. It really shows that you can accomplish anything with effort and a love for what you do. “It’s hard to fathom. We also reached more than a billion video views recently, it’s not something you really can quantify. It blows our minds literally every time our videos are seen.” Currently residing in Los Angeles, the brothers told us some of their favorite local spots. “Big fan of Aroma Cafe in Studio City which it’s chill vibe, good food and you can bring your dog. Also, the Griffith Park Observatory is always awesome, and it’s free to boot!” Lastly, for any aspiring filmmakers out there, Benny offered some advice “Learn how to engage your audience online. You can make your epic passion project independently one day if you are smart about the contacts you create beforehand to build your audience. Either way, as audiences and technology evolve, you will need extra experiences to go along with your content to keep them a super fan.”

U
pon listening to San Cisco’s catchy tune, “Awkward” it’s
no wonder why the song has warranted them so much success. In the twelve short months following the release of their single and album of the same name, San Cisco’s popularity has obviously skyrocketed. The infectious indie pop gem earned them a spot in the Top 10 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 for 2011 and nearly three million views on YouTube, not to mention a nomination for an Unearthed J Award. When examining the amount of recognition San Cisco has received, one might be surprised to learn that they haven’t been in the business for all that long. The indie pop quartet emerged from Fremantle, Western Australia back in 2009. Founding members Josh (guitar/keyboards/vocals) and Jordi (lead vocals/guitar) had originally bonded over their love of skateboarding, but a passion for music was the key motivator behind the creation of the band. Soon after, fellow classmates Nick Gardener (bass) and Scarlett Stevens (drums) were added to the lineup to create the quirky musical group that is San Cisco. Although their discography is short, it doesn’t make it any less spectacular. In fact, the latest single off their self-titled LPhas proven that San Cisco is anything but a one-hit wonder.“Fred Astaire” delivers a beat that will leave you tapping your feet and dishes out lyrics that’ll stick in your head for days, making it quite clear that “Fred Astaire” is just as much of a hit as “Awkward.” The song is accompanied by plenty of other equallyfantastic tracks, all of which

Photographer Chris McCoy was originally interested in videography. He started out taking videos of local shows and even videos of a cat. However, he started taking pictures and that just stuck with him. He still shoots videos every once in a while though. But when it comes to photography, he says “I love everything about concert photography from the process of getting approved to shoot the show, to actually being there and it’s a plus being that much closer to the artists you enjoy listening to, each show is a new opportunity.” McCoy believes that his pictures have a certain style to them, a technique that he’s developed well. “It’s film manipulation but still keeps its original digital look. I’ve been told it’s a style I’m good at. Many do it, but it’s difficult to do correctly.” With his technique along with most of the technical side of photography, McCoy learned by teaching himself to develop his own skills. “With original guidance from other filmmakers and photographers, along with occasional web videos, I began to learn more and more about both photography and the industry,” says McCoy. And for any of you into photography, McCoy uses a Canon 7D body with a 50mm 1:8 lens or a 2470mm 2:8 lens. Being a professional photographer definitely has both pros and cons. McCoy said that some of the definite pros are meeting new people, traveling, and capturing the memories. He also discussed some of the cons to his job. “The con of being a professional photographer is that people taking advantage of you and what you do.” McCoys advice, and this applies to everyone, not just budding photographers, is to “always be willing to learn, no matter how much you think you know about photography. If you want to do something with it, take it seriously. Instead of feeling threatened by other’s success, be thankful people are willing to work as hard as you.” Coming from Lexington, Kentucky, McCoy shared some of the many benefits of the city. “[It’s] a great place to live; beautiful city, great people, plenty of local music, and location wise, it’s close to a lot of other big cities. Downtown Lexington is always a “happening place” and it’s got a cool mixture of both old and new.”

I met up with Jordan Witzigreuter, the lead vocalist in the act The Ready Set, to take a couple shots of him on his bus before he hit the stage on the Summerfest Tour. He was the opening act for established groups T. Mills, Breathe Carolina, and We The Kings. I had never seen The Ready Set live but based on his mild demeanor I expected a pretty chill opening act, with a slow build throughout the show in preparation for We The Kings. I was very wrong. As soon as Jordan and his band took the stage they gave everything they had and The Ready Set put on an unforgettable performance. Full of plenty of jumping, mic-stand twirling, and organized movement across the stage, The Ready Set was a solid act to open up Summerfest that got everyone engaged and on their feet. As they churned out catchy anthem one after the other, it’s a wonder some of the audience lasted the whole show. The long running hit “Love Like Woe,” was especially popular with the crowd, with seemingly every member singing along knowing every word. Although the Summerfest Tour has now come to an end, it would definitely be recommended that you keep The Ready Set on your “must watch” list when they come back in your area again.

residency in los angeles, california + shows that you can only have fun when you are being yourself.
B
efore Alexa Losey hit the small screen of your com-
puter, she was training for the big leagues. With the same passion, she posts all kinds of videos to her channel ranging from her obsession with Taco Bell to beautifully shot look books. As an eighteen year old, Losey grew up fast because of her goals for the future. “I always forget I’m 18,” says Losey. “I started taking on adult responsibilities and pursuing my dreams full force when I was 16. I feel like I’ve been an adult for so long. When I do remember I am just a kid I pull out the Disney VHS collection and find the nearest Hello Kitty popsicles.” Losey’s channel focuses mainly on fashion and following trends with videos that are created by season. She keeps up with runway work, but it’s also clear that Losey has a great sense of street style and can mix the two. Losey explains, “When I become obsessed with something, I know it’s time to make a video about it.” These days, one could look at beauty and fashion channels for hours online but Losey strives to stand out. “I’ve always loved style since I was a little girl. It was always a big part of my life. When you do what you love everything works out right.” Losey details, “Most of my friends aren’t super into fashion, so when I’m with them its more about the fun and madness we come up with rather than what we have on our face or bodies. I try to not limit myself to the conventional beauty guru videos.” And Losey is right in calling herself unconventional. When asked how she shops for clothes, Losey has a lengthy response. “To a clothing item or let things grow on you? I used to go with my gut until I realized I had way too many clothes then I kinda had to cut down. Now I work with what I have in my closet already but I make it work with the upcoming season and I keep my eyes out for what I need. That being said I am still guilty of buying something if have to have it.” With a great mix of DIY and brand name clothing Losey recommends Buffalo Exchange, Wasteland, Crossroads, and in general, thrift stores for all you, shoppers that want to look fabulous.

In fact, she’s quite the colorful character. For one, she absolutely adores horror films and cats. In addition to this, one might be shocked to learn that she was previously a gymnast for fifteen years. Though there is no telling where Paige will be in the next few years, she hopes that by then she’ll have started her own clothing company. Until then she intends to continue blogging and inspiring others to embrace their personal style. “Be yourself and wear what you love. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say, “Wow, I love your outfit. I wish I could pull that off.” Who says you can’t? Fashion is all about taking risks and not worrying about what other people think.”

lauren riihimaki
For Lauren Riihimaki, being a “Youtuber” is not just a
hobby, but also a passion. Since she has garnered an audience of over 230,000 subscribers in just a year, you can say she’s grown quite successful at it. After entering college, Rihimaki realized that school was not enough for her to fully express her creativity. So, she turned to blogging. “My program didn’t quite satisfy my constant need for creativity in my life and I needed some sort of outlet to express myself,” she said. “So it was then, in the depths of my university residence room, that my blog was created.” Soon, blogging was not enough to describe in detail her DIY tutorials. YouTube became the perfect outlet to showcase her crafting skills, especially once she established her online persona, LaurDIY. “As I got further engrossed into the YouTube world, I realized that there was so much opportunity for sharing all the ideas and tutorials that I had been compiling,” said Riihimaki. “I’ve spent hours gluegunning, glittering, nailing and creating, and I’ve loved every minute of it.” Riihimaki’s videos range from crafts like bleachdying your denim shorts to fashion lookbooks. For anyone looking for the perfect craft to spice up their dorm rooms, Rihimaki’s tutorials are ideal. She combines a friendly vibe with easy to follow instructions to bring an ease to crafts that, for most of us, do not seem easy. After watching her videos, you know her craving for creativity has been more than satisfied. + words: jessica goldman // + photo: lauren riihimaki

jackie young
Based in Orange County, musician Jackie Young only has
one priority – music. Originally from Seal Beach, this California native grew up listening to pop music, but ultimately fell in love with soul. Now, she writes and records both genres. She is heavily influenced by the jazziness of the late Amy Winehouse and poppy melodies of Parachute. Musician Allen Stone, in particular, is someone she really looks up to. Young began taking classical voice lessons at the age of fourteen and soon discovered her amazing ability for songwriting, where she claims she can be both introspective and extroverted at the same time. Recently she released her first single “Can’t Make This Right,” co-written and produced with Jesse Barrera. Young stated that Allen Stone has enough soul to float a boat, when really her vocals and tunes have just the same ability and gradually, she is on her way to sailing even further lengths. She has also already had a couple of shows under her belt and having opened up for artists such as Teddy Geiger, PK and This Century. Young is currently on an indefinite leave from schooling at the Berklee College of Music’s Management program to work on her craft. She is often in the studio working hard on what she loves and looks to be what she is destined to do. Her audience and fans keep the new rising artist eager to create more music. + words: gleann ignacio // + photo: lhoycel marie

rebecca black T
here are more than a handful of words that can stick
out and describe this generation. Words like twerking, One Direction, tweet, Apple, swag, 3D, Teen Mom, hipsters, supernatural, viral – oh and Friday! It is quite clear everyone knows where we are headed with this. That is right! Rebecca Black. Let us take this back to the year 2011, Rebecca Black first broke out onto the scene when her first single and music video “Friday” made its way on YouTube. Believing that only her family and friends would see the video, Black had not anticipated the overwhelming response.The video became viral and Rebecca Black was then named one of the year’s fastest web searches. She had become an overnight sensation. Since then the song has been featured almost everywhere! The hype from her first single has landed Black as a guest on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and Jay Leno’s late night talk show as well as becoming one of the songs sung on the hit TV series Glee, and has awarded her with a Teen Choice Award for ‘Best Web Star’ and Variety’s 2011 ‘Youth Impact Honoree’. Black was also complimented by mega pop star Lady Gaga, quoting: “Rebecca Black is genius.” Many artists known and unknown perform the song at their own concerts as well as performing live and working with Katy Perry. Rebecca Black was a sensation! It is now 2013 and Black has gone through and experienced a lot since the viral video. She is actually still making videos and producing them regularly on YouTube. “I’ve been an avid YouTube viewer for so long and have wanted to branch out [making videos],” Black speaks out. Despite the negative comments, the only people she listens to are her friends, “I think what really gave me that extra push was the support of all my friends who have been on YouTube for a

So how does a typical schedule plan look like for Rebecca Black? “I find myself filming on the weekends a lot and editing after I finish homework,” she answers. Black has learned to adjust with her new lifestyle, but admits it can also get a bit hectic, “I still find myself rushing the day before I upload trying to get a video together, but it’s worth it in the end!” Technology plays a key role in today’s generation as well, but social media is the leading way for those to stay connected; whether it is with friends or family and in this digital age it is a crucial tool to success. Black enjoys having conversations over the internet with her fans, chatting with them as if they were like her own friends. “I met my best friend over the internet!” she pointed out, but even then the cons can overshadow the pros. “I have to say that my least favorite [on social media] would have to be the lack of privacy,” she admits. Unfortunately, the media loses sight of that. However, some of Black’s owns tweets on Twitter can become a bit personal and she is aware of it; responding with: “I mostly just blurt out what’s on my mind or what I’m thinking of.” Clearly aware she explains: “A lot of the time I tweet a whole lot of nothing, but I try to stray away from that because I think it’s pretty boring,” she laughs and continues, “sometimes I’ll go a couple of days without posting anything, but it’s just because I don’t have anything interesting to say!” There is a side that the world has not seen of Rebecca Black, a difference in between her videos and her music.

CONT’D wear rings on almost every finger sometimes! I just love the layered look and I think it can bring something unique to a simple outfit,” she tips. (Rebecca loves to find colors of a darker shade and specifically wearing burgundy or navy blue colors). To relax, she enjoys a cup of mint tea to calm herself down and prepare for bed. Another thing she loves is her beanies. They act as one of her life savers, especially on crazy, bad hair days, “it gets so windy in Southern California during fall and they help keep my hair from flying everywhere!” We then asked Rebecca our golden question: what is your favorite local place? “My favorite place is The Lab!” she replied. Located in Costa Mesa, it is a place where Black loves to shop and have lunch with friends, “the atmosphere is so chill and relaxing,” she says and then included her top three places to visit along the Lab! First being Milk & Honey, which is within the area and has Black finding herself grubbing at in any time of the year while also pointing out that, “it has the best lavender lattes and frozen yogurt in the world!” Second on her list is Balboa Island, a place where she has been visiting since she was young, “I’ve met the best people there,” Black recalls, “I love riding my bike all the way down to the beach and taking a break on the pier to grabbing a bite to eat. It’s become a bit of a tradition in a way.” Lastly, third is The Observatory, “This is one of my favorite places to see shows. They have all different kinds of artists and it’s so different from going to see a show in a stadium,” she compares. Black has made quite an impression on the Internet and in music. “Friday” was not her only single to reach over a million views. Her following single, “My Moment”, had accumulated over six million views in less than 2 days and the other singles follow in. Like it or not, Rebecca Black will always be around and never forgotten. As for her videos, well you can look forward to the weekend because a new video will be ready to upload by Friday!

ith 35,400 subscribers but only twenty vid-
eos, one might wonder how the pair of Sam and Orion got to be so popular, so fast. Describing themselves as, “Just two best friends with a dysfunctional yet entertaining relationship,” it’s clear that these two have the whole “girls next door” thing down pat and they aren’t afraid to be loud, embarrassed or enthusiastic about everything to make sure you enjoy their videos. Though they only met online a year ago, the two seem to have such a sister-like relationship. After officially meeting this past January, Orion and Sam just clicked. Both share the experience of coming from small towns, so it’s clear wanting to try new things and be new people motivated their friendship and their channel “I grew up in a small southern hometown so I was definitely a black sheep! Many people here don’t really do much and they like to stay in one place rather than going out and seeing the world. That really motivated me to be “the change” and to move on and discover what else this world holds for me!” says Orion. Both add, “We both thought it would be a good idea to start a channel together, just for fun! We never expected it to grow into what it has become.” Now that their channel has gained popularity, Orion and Sam can definitely agree their lives has changed. “It’s weird because now when I go to my local mall, that I’ve went to my entire life, people will stop me because they watch our videos and recognize me from the internet!” says Orion. This of course happened in tenfold when the pair at-

tended Vidcon this year. Both can attest: “Honestly meeting our viewers was one of the main highlights of Vidcon. It was so humbling to have people come up and want to meet us because they enjoy our videos! Also being able to experience LA for the first time was amazing.

What topped off our entire trip was that we got to be reunited with some of our closest pals from the YouTube community!” Even though the two loved the LA experience, Sam and Orion still love their hometowns. Sam’s favorite spot? Atlantic Station. “Especially in the fall and winter,” she says, “I love the vibe!” Orion keeps it classic, citing her local Starbucks as her favorite spot because when she walks in the baristas already know her order and there’s free wifi. One might think that living in two different places might keep Orion and Sam from getting really close, but it is clear that the two know each other very well. Sam describes Orion as “fearless, passionate, and ingenious” while Orion describes Sam as “ambitious, determined, and optimistic.” These traits will surely serve them well as they work towards their goals for the next year. “I just hope people keep watching and enjoying what we create. I hope that through our videos we can make people happy and inspire them to also spread that happiness. Personally, I hope to further my dance career!” says Sam. Orion adds, “A year from now I hope that people will still enjoy the things we put out for them and continue to support us the way they do and hopefully one day I could be a part of AwesomenessTV! Aside from YouTube, I’m still trying to discover exactly who I am and what I want to do. So, who knows what the future will hold for me!” And of course, Sam and Orion know they couldn’t do all of this without their viewers. To you, Orion says, “You’ve made such a huge impact on my life and I love you endlessly” and Sam adds, “Just thank you so much for being the most supportive and raddest group of people out there! Keep helping us spread positivity and one day we can change things. Love you guys!”

f forced to describe her YouTube
channel in five words, Meredith Foster would say “inspiring, positive, relatable, helpful and exciting.” It’s clear that her viewers feel the same because her subscriber base has grown immensely over the last three years and continues to increase. The stylish YouTuber, commonly known as stilababe09, has certainly made her mark on the YouTube community. Since her channel’s beginnings back in 2010 she’s managed to engage plenty of users with her beauty-oriented videos. Having recently hit her millionth subscriber, it’s evident that Meredith has gained a loyal following, but still manages to remain extremely humbled. She intends to stay dedicated to her fans and hopes that, through continual and regular updating, they’ll see she’s wholeheartedly invested. Though her channel may have only begun three years ago, her interest in makeup goes back a little farther than that. “I remember being ten or eleven and going into my mom’s makeup drawer and playing around with eyeshadow and lipstick. [I] didn’t get really serious about it until I was thirteen and making videos.” Experimenting with her mom’s makeup might have initially piqued her interest, that isn’t the motivator behind the creation of her channel.“I first became involved because I was intrigued by other girls’ beauty tutorials and wanted to try it myself. I was interested in makeup, hair and fashion, so the beauty genre was a perfect fit.”
