. E N I Z MAGA ONE Perfectly Well-Mannered, Everything that isn’t.
“ Don’t say the old screamed. Bring let her scream.
d lady her on and -Mark Twain
Dear Reader, I present to you a Magazine titled “Perfectly Well-Mannered”. Not for just one person, but for all different kinds of people. Yes, this letter is very short and sweet. I am not a writer but I am a creative and I do have millions of ideas. When I put PWM together, It gave me the space to put majority of my ideas and everything I love onto one platform. I come across different artists on social media or in public everyday that deserve more attention. From Graffiti to Infused Foods, there is always a group of Artists that aren’t getting the “support” they deserve. I made the Magazine part of PWM to collaborate with different artists and give them a platform to showcase and advertise their works of art. Giving them the option of something old or something new, I told each of the Featured Artists to send me a piece that represents them and their brand of work. The purpose is solely for advertisement and “giving credit where it’s due”. PWM as a brand purposely favor the unruly and hardworking. The irony has a lot to do with why I chose the name and a lot to do with the Artists I feature. So if you are wondering why all of the artists I collaborate with are “twisted with a bit of sweet,” that is why. They remind myself of why I love art so much and what inspires me to do it. Thank You to everyone who helped me work on this and to all the Artists that contributed to making the first issue happen. If you are reading this and want to be in the next issue, please email us at pwmmagazine@gmail. com and after that enjoy some rad shopping and events at perfectlywellmannered.com -Kaleemah Morse

Portrait By: Christina Baik Instagram@christina.baik
“What better way to pay tribute towards the release
of PWM than a portrait of the creator behind it all. I used the watercolor’s fluidity to capture her beauty and a graphic black and white logo pattern in the background to produce contrast. There’s not much to say when the subject of my piece triggered such powerful inspiration simply just by her aura and presence.”

As I was leaving Los Angeles in a couple of days, I realized that i’d be leaving the city where I work best in. Being the frantic that I am, I had to take advantage of the connections and resources I had before leaving. Knowing that I had PWM in progress and no clothing done for it, I quickly gathered who I knew and made the finish product come to life. Von Redmond, a close friend and business partner of mine decided to help. We both went to seek out materials, refine designs I already had, and put the together samples in a matter of three days. We camped out in my old dorm room to sew and plan for the first Perfectly Well-Mannered Clothing and Magazine photoshoot. Within those three days, I also gathered three different models that represented the three different styles of women. By picking Karson, Sigany, and Halle and having them wear a PWM shirt styled different ways; it shows how any person can rock PWM clothing without feeling as if they don’t fit a brand ideal. I want to showcase that whatever category you put yourself in PWM accepts & respects you, your style, and drive to be yourself. For this first launch, I am only releasing three shirts in three different colors to see how people will take it upon themselves to style. Something so simple and stylish could become apart of an outrageous “slay” for a bad bitch or the perfect performance fit for a rockstar. Enjoy, Kaleemah Morse P.S.

Deliberate. Demanding. Decadent. The common roach infests the summer nights of L.A. This illustration is inspired by a friends
story of a walk in the warm L.A. Summer. It encapsulates Snow White’s unique ability to attract the most peaceful of wildlife, but in modern Los Angeles, everyone can be a simply, song-filled princess and attract their very own swarm. The roaches are a testament to survival, just as the
classic Disney telling of Snow White will infect the souls of many to come. In truth, I just love creating the undesired and making their home on an illustration of beauty. The most relieving time, is knowing that these little monsters are mere fiction, in told by their cartoon figure, but be careful as reality has an awful way of creeping up.

This is an open door that I’ve found myself walking through, and although the room is dark, I am the light that shines. Truth is I’m not happy because my purpose can’t fit inside me anymore. It needs a bigger stage, I believe we all are destine for the greater good, to serve others but we must first use the key, (the key of your passion) to open the door and walk right through. Watch how the world shakes like “loose change”. Don’t be afraid to bet on yourself even if the odds are against you. We need to look life in the face and say...I got this, don’t let your death be local... die worldwide.

As I got older I decided to take the smarter route and began focusing on making music. My music is different from the average person because everyone either has sound or are actually lyrical. Me? I do both.” -TRIP 6 TRILL

DY WOCKHAR “Music is my meditation, I listen to music 25/7 weather it’s my music or anyone else’s. My homies inspire me everyday to strive & grind in life and rap. I started rapping with Maar in highschool and have been working hard in the studio every since. I plan to take rap wherever it takes me, im just along for the ride. There’s so much room in the industry nowadays for everybody to eat. One day I want to make music that impacts and relates to everyone. I’m inspired by Amy Winehouse, Key!, Lucki, XXXtencasion, and Trippie Red because they all make timeless music and I want my music to really mean something to people like them. Soon I’ll be dropping more music and content in 2019 with Maar. More videos, music, and more. Thank you to everybody who show love and support so far and they plan is only to grow bigger and bigger. Shoutout to Leemer (Kaleemah Morse) and UNKN STUDIOS for always holding it down.” -WOCKHARDYY
