WE HOPE THAT WE COULD PRESENT NEW PEOPLE TO YOU THAT YOU LIKE AS WELL. WE ALREADY SAID IT IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS ISSUE: WE DON’T WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT’S COOL RIGHT NOW. THE PEOPLE THAT WE INTERVIEW OR PRESENT TO YOU ARE PEOPLE THAT WE LIKE, BECAUSE THEY INSPIRE US AND WE LOVE THE BEAUTY THEY CREATE. THAT’S IT. DON’T DEFINE BEAUTY ON WHAT YOU SEE ON THE STREETS. TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR YOURSELF. DON’T BE SCARED TO TRY OUT NEW THINGS USE YOUR IMAGINATION AND START SOMETHING BIG. THE FUNNY THING THAT NO ONE REALIZES IS THAT EVERYONE HAS THE POWER TO MAKE IT, BUT NO ONE IS TRYING.
