Letter from the Editor This magazine is about all of the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online and in the digital world. I wanted to bring note to those and the people should be egnoledged in those forms. When trying to figure things out it as it is they needed to be exploited but in a good way and have a magazine they can express themselves freely. The magazine is all kinds of stories not just about them and the things around the world and takes you backstage into the places or their lives. Thank you for reading Hanna Tschudin- Editor

What was Lilly Singh up to before she became Superwoman? Lilly Singh had finished university, got her psychology degree, taken a year off, didn’t know what she wanted to do in life and so did nothing for one year. Then — not because she wanted to but because her parents told her to — started looking at doing her masters in counselling psychology. I remember writing the application for my masters and then going ‘Oh my god! I don’t even want to do these applications, how am I going to do this for four years?’ It was during that time, between sending applications, that I decided on doing YouTube videos seriously and I already had a few videos out at that time. At that moment, I walked up to my parents and was like ‘Hey! I’ve decided that I am not going to do my masters, and instead I am going to make YouTube videos!” When exactly did you start making videos? I can tell you the exact moment it happened. I had a few videos out at that time and I was coming out of a state of depression and I was confused. I was on a vacation in Mexico with my family and going for a walk – it was so like Bollywood – sat at the beach and had a talk with myself. I think for the first time I asked myself – ‘What makes you happy? What do you want to do?’ And the answer was: ‘Entertaining people makes me really happy.’ ‘What am I doing right now that involves that? I am making YouTube videos. So let’s put all my effort into that and see where it goes.’ The second I flew back home, I started making YouTube videos

How different is Lilly Singh from her online avatar IISuperwomanII? We are pretty much identical. The only difference is that Lilly sometimes gets scared, sad and tired whereas Superwoman is a performer – she will never get scared, sad or tired. She is super-confident all the time. But personality trait-wise, like not swearing, talking of unicorns and one love, that’s Lilly through and through. Which was a tougher stereotype to break – being an Indian or being a female comic? Definitely being Indian. There were already so many females on YouTube but I am pretty sure I am the first Indian big YouTuber that’s also female. When I first started, all the media I ever got was ‘Hey! There’s this Indian girl. And even though she is Indian she gets views and stuff.’ But now, it makes me really happy that in North America that’s not the headline anymore.

What makes your videos globally appealing? I think it’s the relatability. I think what people like about my channel is that I am not perfect. I always point to my pimple, my bad hair day…people relate to that. They are watching somebody who is exactly like them and talking about things that they experience as well. Your dream collaboration? It would obviously be with The Rock (Dwayne Johnson). But if I were to collaborate musically it would be with Beyonce, or Katy Perry, MIA, any of the Bachchans... I have a dream list of people.

Your thoughts on freedom of expression... No matter what I put out, somebody will be offended. I made a video on 10 reasons to smile, and it has dislikes. That should be an indication that there will be some who get offended not matter what you do. The best you can do as an entertainer or as someone who performs is to follow what you believe in. You can’t really do anything else. If you say ‘I don’t want to offend anyone’ then don’t get on stage. Just ask yourself ‘Do I think it is right? Do I think it is offensive? And do I think that everyone is okay to hear this? If I truly believe this then I should go and do this.’

hotographer Julius Schulmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photography spread California Mid-century modern around the world. Carefully composed and rtfully lighted, his images promoted not only new approaches o home design but also the ideal of idyllic California living â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a unny, suburban lifestyle played out in sleek, spacious, low-slung omes featuring ample glass, pools and patios.

“T

he subject is the power of photography,” Shulman explains. “I have thousands of slides, and Juergen and I have assembled them into almost 20 differzent lectures. And not just about architecture—I have pictures of cats and dogs, fashion pictures, flower photographs. I use them to do a lot of preaching to the students, to give them something to do with their lives, and keep them from dropping out of school.” It all adds up to a very full schedule, which Shulman handles largely by himself—“My daughter comes once a week from Santa Barbara and takes care of my business affairs, and does my shopping”—and with remarkable ease for a near-centenarian. Picking up the oversized calendar on which he records his appointments, Shulman walks me through a typical seven days: “Thom Mayne—we had lunch with him. Long Beach, AIA meeting. People were here for a meeting about my photography at the Getty [which houses his archive]. High school students, a lecture. Silver Lake, the Neutra house, they’re opening part of the lake frontage, I’m going to see that. USC, a lecture. Then an assignment, the Griffith Observatory—we’ve already we’ve already started that one.” Yet rather than seeming overtaxed, Shulman fairly exudes well-being. Like many elderly people with nothing left to prove, and who remain in demand both for their talents and as figures of veneration (think of George Burns), Shulman takes things very easy: He knows what his employers and admirers want, is happy to provide it, and accepts the resulting reaffirmation of his legend with a mix of playfully rampant immodesty and heartfelt gratitude. As the man himself puts it, “The world’s my onion.” Shulman is equally proud of his own lighting abilities. “I’ll show you something fascinating,” he says, holding up two exteriors of a new modernist home, designed for a family named Abidi, by architect James Tyler. In the first, the inside of the house is dark, resulting in a handsome, somewhat lifeless image. In the second, it’s been lit in a way that seems

a natural balance of indoor and outdoor illumination, yet expresses the structure’s relationship to its site and showcases the architecture’s transparency. “The house is transfigured,” Shulman explains.

“I have four Ts. Transcend is, I go beyond what the architect himself has seen. Transfigure—glamorize, dramatize with lighting, time of day. Translate—there are times, when you’re working with a man like Neutra, who wanted everything the way he wanted it—‘Put the camera here.’ And after he left, I’d put it back where I wanted it, and he wouldn’t know the difference—I translated. And fourth, I transform the composition with furniture movement.” To illustrate the latter, Shulman shows me an interior of the Abidi house that looks out from the living room, through a long glass wall, to the grounds. “Almost every one of my photographs has a diagonal leading you into the picture,” he says. Taking a notecard and pen, he draws a line from the lower left corner to the upper right, then a second perpendicular line from the lower right corner to the first line. Circling the intersection, he explains, “That’s the point of what we call ‘dynamic symmetry.’” When he holds up the photo again, I see that the line formed by the bottom of the glass wall—dividing inside from outside—roughly mirrors the diagonal he’s drawn. Shulman then indicates the second, perpendicular line created by

Sephora Cream Lip Stain 06 “Pink Soufflé”: I wear a lot of liquid lipsticks, because I love the long-lasting finish.

Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50: If you follow me on snapchat or instagram, you already know my love of Supergoop! sunscreen oil spray (I love it) and their everyday sunscreen, of which I have the giant jug, but their Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50 is a game changer for me.

bareMinerals Stroke Of Light Eye Brightener: Very rarely do I ever wear foundation, but I rely on good concealers to keep the dark circles at bay.

Urban Decay “Zodiac” Razor Sharp Longwear Liquid Eyeliner: I was a little devastated when Urban Decay discontinued their 24/7 liquid liners, and went into hoarder mode.

NARS “Brigitte” Audacious Lipstick: Speaking of getting asked about lip colors, this might be the top asked-about-lipstick. You can see it in action in this post. I usually go for mattes, and since this is a creamier finish, it’s a nice change! It’s my idea of the perfect color. In fact, if anyone knows of a liquid lipstick in this shade, let me know! I’d like to have it in other finishes. I’ve already gone through three full tubes of this lipstick. And that’s saying something, because I have a ridiculous amount of lipsticks to choose from (it’s my vice).

Too Faced Snow Bunny Luminous Bronzer: I know it might surprise you to see a bronzer on the list, since I’m a notoriously pale girl. But this is more of a blush-bronzer-highlighter all in one, which makes it a great choice for traveling. I give it a little swirl before sweeping on my cheeks, for a subtly sun-kissed glow.

LORAC Pro Matte Eyeshadow Palette: I picked up this palette on a whim, earlier this year, because I found myself in Los Angeles without any eyeshadows and Kim almost exclusively has rainbow shades in her bathroom (she has since picked up a Naked Palette, I do believe). Matte shadows can sometimes be a little chalky, but these are so buttery smooth and pigmented. I also like how flat and simple the package is; it’s easy to just throw it in my travel bag and not worry about it.

Sunday Riley Good Genes: I resisted this for so long, dismissing it as a blogger bandwagon product. I finally gave in and got a bottle of it, since Helena had been raving about it, and I am officially on that bandwagon. It’s one of those rare products whose results are almost immediate. Apparently my skin loves a lactic acid treatment, because it makes my skin feel incredibly smooth. I use it at night, post acid toner, pre serum and moisturizer, and wake up with glowing, soft skin. Sephora is usually generous with samples, so make sure you ask for one before you commit, because it’s not cheap. But good skincare is worth the investment, if you can afford it!

Killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani had sparked protests in Kashmir after which curfew was imposed in the region. Malala said that due to the weeks-long curfew imposed in Kashmir “many schools have been closed… keeping children away from their classrooms.” “I stand with the people of Kashmir. My 14 million Kashmiri sisters and brothers have always been close to my heart,” she said. Earlier this week, India sent an all-party delegation headed by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to hold parleys with various sections of the society and listened to their concerns as part of efforts to find a common solution to the current unrest.

The delegation earlier met Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti during which a detailed presentation was given by the state government highlighting various issues related to the current scenario in Jammu and Kashmir. While interacting with the delegation, Mehbooba said that Kashmir is a common issue of national interest and should not be viewed as a political issue. The all-party delegation also met the representatives of various political parties. The Hurriyat leaders, however, refused to meet with the all party delegation for peace talks on Kashmir.

Radcliffe failed to place at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, but did win the York Marathon that same year. Running the marathon at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, she suffered a muscle cramp and finished 23rd. She withdrew from competing at the 2012 Olympics. Background

Paula Jane Radcliffe was born on December 17, 1973, in Northwich, Cheshire, England. Despite being an asthmatic child when she first developed a passion for track and field, Radcliffe would go on to set and break her own world record in the women’s marathon, and become known as one of the world’s elite runners. Marathon Star After winning the world junior cross-country title in 1992, Radcliffe steadily developed as a distance runner. Following years of training, she won her first world cross-country long-course gold medal in 2001. She won her second in 2002. Other achievements include a gold medal in the 5,000 meters at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and the 10,000-meter gold at the 2002 European Championships. Radcliffe also won the Chicago Marathon (women’s division) in 2002, and was victorious at the London Marathon (women’s division) in both 2002 and 2003. At the 2002 Chicago Marathon, Radcliffe set a new women’s world marathon record time of 2 hours, 17 minutes and 18 seconds. That same year, she was named “Female Athlete of the Year” by the International Association of Athletics Federations. At the 2003 London Marathon, Radcliffe broke her own marathon record, finishing the race in 2 hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds—her best marathon time to date—on April 13, 2003.

2004 Olympic Games and Setbacks There were high hopes for Radcliffe prior to the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Unfortunately, those aspirations were dashed when Radcliffe failed to place in both the marathon and the 10,000-meter final. She did, however, win the New York Marathon later that year. Radcliffe shared her experiences as one of track and field’s top competitors in her 2004 autobiography, Paula: The Story So Far. The following year, the celebrated runner proved that her story was far from over. At the 2005 World Championship s in Helsinki, Finland, she won gold in the women’s marathon. In 2006, Radcliffe learned that she and Gary Lough, her husband and manager, were expecting their first child. She continued to run during her pregnancy, but modified her usually grueling training. Radcliffe gave birth to a daughter, Isla, on January 17, 2007. Returning to training, Radcliffe suffered a stress fracture in her back and subsequently decided not to compete at the 2007 World Championships, held in Osaka, Japan. By the fall of that year, however, she had healed and was ready to take on her next challenge. In November 2007, she won the women’s competition at the New York Marathon in a grueling duel with Ethopia’s Gete Wami. In Recent Years Citing a foot injury, Radcliffe withdrew from competing at the 2008 London Marathon. She then resumed her training in preparation for the women’s marathon at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, held in Beijing, China. There, however, another injury would interfere with the runner’s Olympic hopes. While running the marathon, she suffered a muscle cramp that slowed her down significantly, and subsequently finished 23rd in the race. In 2010, Radcliffe won induction into the England Athletics Hall of Fame. The following year, she placed third at the Berlin Marathon, finishing the women’s marathon in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 46 seconds—the fourth-fastest 2011 marathon time by a European runner. The following year, she was beaten by Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie at the Vienna Half Marathon. Again citing a foot injury, Radcliffe decided not to compete at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England.
