A Letter From the Editor I’m very excited about this particular (June 2016) issue of Sawyer because it was very easy to get creative with a theme like ‘the Addams Family.’ The mystical and macabre family of characters first appeared in a 60’s sitcom, and became a 90’s cult favorite when it hit the big screen in ’91. There are so many existing artistic interpretations of this movie, and adding my style to the mix with this issue was so much fun. I decided to avoid colors that weren't red, black, or white, which mirrors the coloring in the movies (and b&w tv show). The Addams’ have all the color they need inside. This issue also marks the start of Summer. Summer, for me, is always interesting because it can go one of two ways. If you have lots of opportunities to see your friends every day and go to beaches and take vacations, then Summer is kind of the best. Even so, if you have nothing to do but sit in the heat, watch 20 new shows on Netflix, and sleep, then Summer tends to be kind of depressing…unless you make your own fun. So, as we begin the highly anticipated/dreaded Summer season this year, I strongly encourage you to replace your boredom with creativity. Make playlists of new music, write them out in unique ways and distribute them, in person or over email, Spotify, Soundcloud,etc. Watch new movies, watch old movies, read books because you find them interesting (books you're forced to read always seem to be the worst ones), try your hand at makeup or painting, learn how to code online. If you don't have any passions or interests, find some. I believe in you!

Capricorns are always ready to help, and are very loyal friends, just like thing. capricorns also prefer to do their own thing and fade into the background, which may just explain why we don't always see thing around the addams family.

leo (july 23-august 22) some of the worst traits found in leos are bossiness, and being self-centered and egotistical. These are also the main characteristics of the gold digging, manipulative Debbie Jellinsky- even though she has killer monologue skills.
virgo (august 23-september 22) virgos are notoriously organized ‘neat freaks’ who are mysterious and enjoy time alone. this sounds just like lurch, who is often found organizing the addams mansion. he also is very introverted, and doesn’t say much.

(Don’t) Say You’re Sorry by Sarah Kendric Everywhere I go, people-especially girls and young women-are apologizing unnecessarily. To be clear, you should absolutely apologize when it’s warranted-those who you offend, hurt, hinder, etc. definitely deserve verbal compensation for your wrongs. I’m talking about trivial, everyday instances in which the person you apologize to definitely wasn’t looking or asking for an ‘I’m sorry.’ Remember, the goal is never to be rude, but to instead realize the worth of our actions and to know when we’re sorry for doing nothing wrong. I’m absolutely guilty of this, and even as I started paying attention to my frequent apologies, I couldn’t help myself from uttering them regardless. I find myself apologizing for brushing past others, whenever I ‘interrupt’ anyone, I’ll even apologize on the behalf of others, like if someone else bumped into me. A quick ‘sorry’ seems to have grown into a common courtesy with no alternative, and over the past few months, I’ve noticed that I’m clearly not the only one around me who would agree. Equally upsetting is the fact that women are always apologizing more frequently than men, and especially they’ve done nothing wrong. If I were to be more extreme, I would suggest that this sad ratio is rooted in female inferiority to men, which provokes the urge to apologize for merely existing. On a note of lesser severity, we may also just be lacking an alternative to our constant stream of apologies. So, this month (and all following months, for that matter) to really think through your apologies before you deliver them. Ask yourself if they can be replaced with an ‘excuse me’ or omitted entirely. By doing so, we’re not allowing ourselves to feel ‘lesser than’ or that we’re constantly doing wrong. Our actual apologies will be more genuine. Our selfesteem and confidence will grow and become more apparent to others as we become more self-assured in our social and professional lives, now and in our futures.

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT Wollstonecraft was an English writer, philosopher and women’s right advocates in the 18th century. In 1792, she practically founded the Women’s Movement with her most famous book, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. It discussed equal education, sharing responsibilities as parents, double standards, and the consequences of sexual exploitation in women. This work not only inspired the likes of Susan B. Anthony, but her daughter went on to write Frankenstein, which integrated Wollstonecraft’s philosophy. She was also notably anti-abortion.

FRIDA KAHLO After suffering injuries following a bus crash Kahlo was in as a teenager, she began to paint. Her love for portraiture evolved into an outlet for her political views and a way to show the female condition in an honest way by painting realistic bodies and touching upon unaddressed issues for women such as miscarriage and depression. She fought for her art to be recognized as equally as a male’s would, and brought to the forefront women’s struggles in their process of self-determination.

DOROTHY PARKER Dorothy Parker was a poet most popular in the 20s and 30s. Known for her sharp, intellectual wit, her career as a writer reached success previously unprecedented for women. The majority of her works bore messages of equality. She also produced short fiction, articles and drama reviews. Quotes include: “Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses” and “she was pleased to have him come and never sorry to see him go.” COCO CHANEL Before her name became a globally recognized brand, Coco Chanel was providing new ways for women to feel powerful and liberated. In a time when femininity was emphasized in the world of fashion, the designs of Chanel provided an alternative for women who didn't fit into the ‘sit still look pretty’ mold. She grew to be a respected designer in her time, in which the industry was male-dominated. Her clothes focused on comfort and mobility rather than ‘proper’ style, and combined the vocabulary of male and female fashion.

SYLVIA PLATH Plath, an ambitious poet turned author who suffered from depression, is best known for her 1963 book The Bell Jar, which provided an unfiltered look at the life of a depressed woman. Plath gave a voice to women who struggled with balancing their aspirations and their careers with being a good wife and mother. She was definitely ahead of her time in the respect that she devoted much of her time and energy to her career and writing, despite the fact that women of the time were supposed to serve only their husbands and families. Her depression tragically led to her infamous suicide in 1963.
6
ALICE WALKER An activist and author of The Color Purple, Walker coined the term ‘womanism,’ which she believed more accurately represented the perspective and feelings for black women. Womanism includes loving women and their culture, and includes the word ‘man.’ Walker stated that this is a recognition of the importance of men as partner’s in a black woman’s life. Walker is also known for her efforts in liberal politics, civil rights, and her work at Ms. Magazine.

GLORIA STEINEM Gloria Steinem became unanimous with the word feminism in the 60’s and 70’s because of her work in activism and efforts toward justice equality for women. The co-founder of the feminist Ms. Magazine, Steinem also began several organizations for women such as the Women’s Action Alliance, the Ms. Foundation For Women, and the Women’s Media Center. Throughout her journalism career, she advocated for abortion and taking pride in menstruation. She also campaigned for the Equal Rights Amendment, protested apartheid. BELL HOOKS An influential feminist and social activist, hooks targets the relation of feminism to race and class. An author of numerous works (her most famous being Ain’t I a Woman?) and lectures, hooks links black women and culture to other veins of feminism. She discusses sexism and racism, media portrayals, education, and the disregard for race and class within traditional feminism. She also contributed her voice in the conversation of Feminist theory in the hopes of diversifying the topic. hooks has also called for men to participate in the feminist movement and sees them as imperative to the success of the cause. MAYA ANGELOUU Maya Angelou is a poet, public speaker, and activist (among many other skills) known for her seven biographies, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She advocated for civil rights with friend Martin Luther King Jr. and approached her poetry with a defiant feminist stance. She encouraged girls (black girls in particular) to take pride in their bodies and view themselves as beautiful. She became a voice of feminism that was accessible, relatable, and unapologetic.

Start o by adding a thin layer of primer to moisturize your face and minimize pores, Since Morticia has #flawless porcelain skin, color correct and conceal any red areas or blemishes by cancelling them out with a pale green concealer. Apply this to the skin using a dotting motion rater than drawing lines. This makes the concealer easier to blend. To create a fairer complexion, use a foundation slightly lighter than your own skin tone. Make sure you blend the foundation onto your jawline and neck!

Morticia has cut-a-bitch sharp cheekbones, use a cool brown contour shade to define your jawline and cheekbones using a flat brush for control,
4
Although Morticia is usually seen with a all-matte face, in this look, we’re using a small amount of shimmery highlight on the highest point of the cheekbones to really accentuate them. To keep the rest of your face shine-free, dust it with translucent finishing powder. Sawyer Magazine / 30

To start the eyes, brush your eyebrows through with brow gel to tame them. Then, using a small, angled brush, fill in sparse areas and create the shape with brow powder. Morticia’s eyebrows are on the thin side and practically black, so don’t exaggerate the size and use a brow powder darker than you usually would.
6
Before you start on your eyeshadow, use a small piece of tape to create a sharp edge for your eyeshadow and liner. For an idea angle, make sure the edge of the tape connects the very end of your brow to the outer edge of your lash line. Start off with a simmer champagne shade all over the lid and inner corner. Using a cool grey shade, layer it onto the lid and blend out to the tape.
7
Directly below your actual crease, mimic the shape of the crease with a darker gunmetal color, sweeping it on the lid and out to the tape. Lightly blend out the edges of this color with the lighter grey on the lid.
8
With an angled eyeshadow brush and a matte black powdered eyeshadow, carefully add a single line of shadow along your crease. With a liquid eyeliner, draw a thin line along the lash line and extend it to the tape line. Remember, the eyeliner for this look isn't very graphic, it’s just meant to elongate the eyes and accentuate them. Rim the center of your waterline with a very small amount of black shadow and an angled brush. Apply a few coats of elongating and separating mascara, then remove the tape.
lips:

To recreate Morticia’s signature red lip, start by applying a true, deep red color to the edges of your lips, blending in towards the center. With a scarlet color, fill in the rest of your lip, creating a defined cupid’s bow,
10
From here. you can choose what type of finish you want for your lip! For a darker, glossy look, add semitransparent black gloss and apply a generous amount using a lip brush (shown at center). For a slightly holographic sheen on a mostly matte lip, carefully coat on some Sigma holographic gloss. No matter what finish you decide on, highlight your cupid’s bow with a touch of shimmery champagne eyeshadow, and sharpen the edges of your lip with a concealer that matches your foundation. Make sure you use a brush for this step! đ&#x;’Ť đ&#x;’Ť đ&#x;’Ť
