Publisher’s Thoughts This issue, I greatly enjoyed, as I got to have fun as a photographer, stylist and booker, all at once.
5
The May issue was initially supposed to be "The Latino Issue". However, since I wasn't able to acquire all the Latino models, designers, stylists and makeup artists in a timely manner, I decided to dedicate this issue to 2 amazing designers; The Legendary Adrian Alicea and the amazing designer from Washington DC, Darryl Terrell. Also in this issue, I tried out a great recipe for buffalo wings from www.allrecipes.com. I also acquired a new Event Editor, Artez Bailey, who's actually a model & actor for Jones Model & Talent Management and now is located in Entertainment Capital of the World, Hollywood, California. Artez will bring exciting images of events from the West Coast. Such as his coverage of The Showbiz Expo that was held in Los Angeles. Moreover, the phenomenal photographer, Seth London covered the Moncler Collection, which they produced a "flash mob" in Grand Central during NY Fashion Week in February 2011. Next, we are proud to feature the velvet voice of late night radio, Mr. Lenny Green, who has been on the airwaves for the last past 15 years and has placed WRKS-FM, 98.7 KISSing After Dark on the map in the Tri-State area. From the "Land Down Under" we are honored to feature Shoalin Kung-fu Master, Shifu Brett Russell. He has an amazing story. From California, we have jewelry designer, YCB, which we gave an 8 page spread since her collection is stunning. Hailing from New York City, we have film-maker, Linette Lucas. I'm pleased to know her prior to starting her company and feel like "proud papa" to be able to see her mature into a great young woman and an amazing entrepreneur. I also got to cover P. Scott's informal fashion show, which was colorful (to say the least). Enjoy the images within. Lastly, The 5 Magazine is proud to present its newest Eye Candy, Mr. Raheem Lee. This former Playgirl and cover model is looking to make his mark in the mainstream modeling arena and has just signed with Jones Model & Talent Management and is fast on his way to becoming a super model. Check out his "too hott for print" 8 page spread. The 5 Magazine would like to apologize for the delay with the May Issue. However, sometimes the best things in life are worth the wait. Enjoy!

most listened to air shift award at the only 24 hour commercial station in the state. Connecticut music listeners voted Lenny as their favorite radio host and honored him with an on-air proclamation from New Haven Mayor John C. Daniels. He is also the recipient of Billboard Magazine’s “Air Personality of the Year” Award, an honor given to him by his peers in the radio/music industry. In 1995, Green joined the WRKS/98.7 KISS-FM family as Assistant Program Director, where he remains today, now as a syndicated on-air personality. Over the years, Lenny has interviewed a veritable Who’s Who of celebrities from music, film, theater and the like, including Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Billy Dee Williams, Mary J. Blige, Ashford and Simpson, Lionel Richie, Jay-Z, Smokey Robinson, the late great Barry White and Gerald Levert, as well as countless other A-list names. In addition to his radio duties, Lenny emcees celebrity concerts, does voiceover work and radio programming consulting. He is tireless in his community work, so that he can assist others, hosting numerous charity events and lending his time to a variety of worthwhile causes. He is also a budding writer, as a contributor to the best-selling book, “Souls Of My Brothers.” Green helped organize and develop an artist management/event marketing company, High End Entertainment, because he believes in not only helping others, but wants to assist in developing the next generation of superstars. A definitive entertainment industry professional, Lenny and his distinctive, silky baritone voice have carved out a prominent, noteworthy niche in radio. Although on urban stations across the country, evening slow jam broadcasts are traditionally Quiet Storm shows, anyone can hear that with KISSing After Dark, there’s definitely no need for quiet – the Perfect Storm sounds like Lenny Green.

It’s his voice, that unmistakable deep, rich sound. With a vocal tone and smooth delivery that could melt gla ciers, Lenny Green was destined for stardom. The host of the wildly popular nationally syndicated radio show “KISSing After Dark with Lenny Green,” Lenny makes his home at the show’s flagship station, the highly rated Tri-state (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) radio station WRKS/98.7 KISS-FM. Recently syndicated by SupeRadio, Green’s weekday 7:00 pm to 12:00 midnight show will soon blossom out to be heard in cities across the United States. Green is the undisputed master of creating a relaxed, romantic atmosphere for his listeners, while playing the best variety of old school and today’s R&B music, to ease them into unwinding after their stress-filled days. He sets THE MOOD unlike anyone else. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Green grew up singing around the house with his mother and brother, with an appreciation of the R&B, hiphop, jazz and gospel sounds. At the age of twelve, he made his public singing debut at the World Famous Apollo Theatre’s Amateur Night, as the lead singer of his teenage R&B trio. They won second place, leading to many paid engagements throughout New York City. Later, as a student at Kingsborough Community College, he set his sights on radio, studying Broadcast Communications there, becoming an in-demand voice, both on campus and regionally. Green began his radio career as many do, outside of his home market, as an on-air personality in Richmond, VA. Later, he was morning/midday man and eventually evening host, while also holding down the Music Director spot, at WNHC-AM Radio in New Haven, CT, as he worked his way back toward home. He made waves within Connecticut, receiving the

Filmaker: Linette Lucas
Being born in the Bronx - the same birthplace as film icons Woody Allen and Al Pacino - Linette Lucas knew that she too was destined for greatness.
At a very young age, she possessed a creative essence that would eventually lead her to act & direct. From acting in plays to playing musical instruments and performing in talent shows, her love of the fine arts could hardly be ignored. When she finished school, the Hunter College graduate eagerly reunited with her creative aspirations and explored the entertainment industry. After attending countless acting auditions and media workshops, Linette was enabled to interpret the role of an actor, but adamantly recognized the role of a director. Without question, she was destined to direct. As destiny would have it, the opportunity to assist an associate with reading through up and coming screenwriters' scripts came up. Soon enough, she landed a job as an acting teacher at KAPLAN-CUNY CAT (Creative Arts Team) where she attended various middle schools in NYC teaching a five-day workshop. The experience bettered her acting and increased her awareness of directing. This then lead her to attend NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies Film Production program - where prominent directors Oliver Stone, M. Night Shyamalan, Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee have sat behind the camera. Next up was Linette Lucas. In NYU SCPS, Linette acquired skills that every great director should have. She brilliantly incorporated her knowledge with creativity and produced exceptional film projects which successfully garnered two scholarships: NYU's Technisphere Achievement Award & Scholarship and The Andreas Zahler Scholarship. Both granted her the opportunity to shoot her latest project Friend & Foe and attend courses that would further hone her craft, respectively. Linette is currently on her way to becoming one of the greats. Determined to follow in the path of the other great directors before her, the young director has become a trailblazer herself. It takes effortless brilliance, captivating storytelling and relentless passion - all of which are the ingredients to becoming a phenomenal director. And wouldn't you know, that's the recipe to Linette Lucas.
