KAT WAWRYKOW OWNER OF UNCULTURED PHOTOGRAPHS & INTERVIEW BY: JENNA BENTZEN
She is the epitome of inner beauty. Her genuine kindness, compassion and concern for those involved in her life is astounding. She is like the gift that keeps on giving: in the many forms of wisdom, creativity, wit, magic and funky fresh fun. Her relentless ambition to pursue whatever her big, beautiful heart desires has driven her to delve into her interests of fashion, photography and art media - with UNCULTURED. Kat truly is outrageous. I personally don’t think she gives herself enough credit. She’s the kind of person that is shockingly spontaneous, and can bring out her feisty kitty claws to pump up the party. She believes in creating fun and is wickedly good at it. Working with her and being her best friend is never a dull moment and always humbling. She is an inspiration with her award winning art and effortless grace. Being the creative museling she is, there is not a doubt in mind that she will take UNCULTURED to bigger, bolder places. Age On the brink of 18 Nicknames Kitty, Kitten, Miss Kat, JB Tell us about yourself ? “I own and am the editor-in-chief of UNCULTURED. I do the design of the magazine layouts, interview creative people like fashion bloggers, designers and artists, oversee and write columns, hunt thrift shops for fun and for the store, and bake with Jenna. I am a creative director for the promo films, do photography for the store and for my portfolio, longboard when I can to breathe, illustrate almost on a daily basis and oh yeah, I also do tumblr and watch old disney films on my VCR. I hope I can buy a new one, mine is on the verge of breaking down.” Something you can always giggle about? “That I can share the fact that when I was little, my finger got cut off in a door - but then regrew. (people’s faces are the best to watch in response)” What inspires you most? “Watching the world around me grow and then swell with creative energy, movement and ideas. Epiphanies are always waiting to be found, whether to be discovered through human interaction or just experience. God always seems to know the right place and the right time to hit you in the face with a rad idea.” Where do you reside/hope to reside in the future? “I live on the West Coast of Canada. I hope one day to reside in Australia, or some tropical rainforest - yet to be quite honest, my home is so far the best place on Earth besides Santorini, Greece (I recommend stopping by). My dream residence is a mixture of sorts and so far has only been found in the ‘mind’s eye’ as it were.” What first got you involved in art, and why? “There is no such thing as an event of discovery of art for me. My whole life is a creation and I’m just a vessel of that creativity. I suppose I could say that high school was my gateway to freedom; where I realized that art is real, - it is important and the very basis of individuality, expression and rebellion. So when I entered the art room in the ninth grade, you could say the journey began.” Who is an artist that you look up to? “I can’t say that there is just one, since I respect so many gifted souls. To name a few: Banksy, Blu, Swoon, Alex Pardee, Chuck Close-Up, and of course my all time favorite illustrator, Norman Rockwell. I would also like to mention Said the Whale, Maroon 5, and Bahamas (musicians are artists too), although take my word for it - this is not the full list by any means.” All hours mexican fiesta or rocky mountain climbing adventure? “How about a mexican restaurant atop a great mountain? Now that would be worth the climb, as it would be both an adventure
and a reward.” Favorite bands? “To list a few: Said the Whale, Bahamas, Maroon 5, Florence + the Machine, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, Girl Talk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deerhunter, ADELE, The Tallest Man on Earth, Bon Iver, Bishop Allen, Bravery, Sea Wolf, City and Colour, Beach House, Cold War Kids, Coldplay, Foster the People, Fun., Generationals, Fruit Bats, Graffiti6, Grouplove, Library Voices, Gotye, Kimbra, Grizzly Bear, Iron & Wine, Kid Sister, Mayer Hawthrone, MGMT, Mumford & Sons, Oberhofer, Octoberman, Oh Land, Passion Pit, Phoenix, Switchfoot, David Crowder Band, and Vampire Weekend.” When was the last time you felt compelled to drop everything and just DANCE? “This last week at school in the middle of art class “You’re the One That I Want” came on the music speakers in the room and Jenna and I jumped on complimentary tables and lip-snag the ode. And yes, 27 other dumbfounded beings watched us in sheer disbelief.” What do you hope to accomplish with UNCULTURED? “I want to accomplish our mission statement: ‘To bring you honest quality, hand-picked vintage, which radiates personality and individuality. To encourage and motivate a generation built on a foundation of ‘organic-humanity’ thinking: one who believes in love, faith, real people, the simple beauties of life, a global family and the sui generis of every person’s soul. And to widen your mind with potential, creativity, knowledge, and ideas made possible by utilizing the full spectrum of art.’” What are 5 things on your bucket list? “a) Own a 1957’s Thunderbird b) Complete my degree in illustration c) Work for Disney and/or Pixar for a time of my life d) Travel to every single continent on the planet (including the Arctic & Antarctic) e) Marry the love of my life” Favorite quote? “So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”-Isaiah 41:10” What is something you have lust for? “I have a lust for life. I am a pioneer and deeply desire the fullest life existence can offer. I want the biggest, the best, the loveliest and the most precious experiences that I can share with others and those I hold dear to my heart. I want to be changed and to do the good plans God’s set out for me to accomplish. I want my life to serve a great purpose, so I may touch many people’s hearts and create a beautiful family which includes every single soul I contact. I just want to always be joyful. That is a zealous life.” Any last words? “I don’t care who you are, where you come from, or what you believe in. But I love you, and you are important. If anything, you will change the world, not in the b.s. way the media implies, but because you impact those who you come into contact with. You are strange. You are wonderful. On a side note, art triumphs academia any day - because it is true passion and feeling. And lastly, I just want to thank you for reading my magazine. It’s my baby, and her growth is truly beautiful.” ▲
When Kat approached me with the idea of an International Playlist, I wasn’t too pumped about it. I just wasn’t sure where to start. Then I started thinking about road trips, and traveling to new places. What else would fuel your fire for wanderlust than a playlist filled with all the songs from places you’re going to see? So these are a collection of my personal favorites and new bands that I’ve been recommended. Here’s to culture! AUSTRALIA, Torquay: Xavier Rudd - Follow The Sun Providing you with a great transition into summer. Rudd’s music is simple, yet complex and always contains a great message. I suggest listening to “The Wind Cries Mary”, his rendition of Jimi Hendrix, of course. I thought it was extremely clever to use his excellent skill of the didgeridoo in that piece. His music is lively and upbeat - perfect for days at the beach. NEW ZEALAND, Hamilton: Kimbra - Good Intent It’s still taking me a bit to warm up to Kimbra. I have a strange relationship with her music - I recognize and am totally for her career. She is undeniably gifted with her voice and is wickedly creative. She reminds me a bit of Nina Simone because they both have a deep voice, but it remains feminine and sultry. USA, Manhattan: Gogol Bordello - American Wedding These guys are incredibly funny. Firstly, my friend Arielle was the one who introduced me to them. At first I wasn’t a fan of this unheard of “gypsy punk” music. But it wasn’t until after I saw Wristcutters: A Love Story (in which lead singer Eugene Hütz starred in) that I became a fan, as their music was part of the film’s soundtrack. Something about the road trip-feel of their car rides made me lust after this band. No doubt this is fun to dance to with a lively bunch of people whilst sharing some good wine on a sunny evening. Side note: I have a strange attraction to Eugene. I think it’s because he’s ferociously strange .. and he has an awesome ‘stache. ITALY, Rome: DJ Satomi - Castle in the Sky Thanks to said boyfriend, I now have a soft spot to techno. Sadly, I have stared up at my ceiling in bed blasting this as my only means of enduring a brief lapse of insomnia. On a brighter note, this song brings on intense euphoria - it's impossible to feel incapable of anything when this song is playing. Some of Satomi’s music is a little too much for me, but “Waves” and “Wonderland” are songs alike with this in some fashion that I highly recommend. EUROPE, Belgium: Gotye - I Feel Better If you feel like dancing, this song will definitely inspire you. Jumping on the beds and bouncing off the walls really wouldn’t be out of the ordinary when this song’s playing. When Kat and I blast this we feel like we’re in a gospel choir. Hand claps included, naturally.
CANADA, Montreal: Desire - Under Your Spell I’m both shocked and pumped that this trio comes from my homeland. No, I have not seen Drive, I found their music elsewhere. And I love it. It’s 80’s techno-pop-electro-madonnaesque. This is best listened to loud, and clearly. I repeat this song over and over and still love it. I just feel like I’m the primmest chick around when the beat hits my ears. It’s dark, grungy and somewhat mysterious. Please don’t laugh at my descriptors, I’m just a very excited fan with a faulty tongue. SOUTH AFRICA: Die Antwoord - Enter the Ninja If you aren’t convinced by Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er’s appearances, this rap-rave group are downright weird. And that’s why I love them. “Evil Boy” (my personal troll song for Kat) offers the perfect combination of humor (watch the video - you’ll understand it all) and intelligence that a good song needs. These guys act completely ridiculous at times, but I have to commend them for just being who they are... This is my philosophy too ... and I know people think I’m crazy. “I Fink U Freeky” is fantastic for suspense-climax fulfillment when embarking on an epic journey (as Tom and I discovered). Bottom line: these guys are just fun. Plus, Yo-Landi is freakin’ hot. FRANCE, Tours: Ez3kiel - Another Now this band, whose music is classified as magnet-dub, was recommended to me for this playlist by Kimiko Fraser (see pg. 25). Although this band is a little dark for this playlist (which seems to be going in the upbeat direction) I found that they were just too cool to leave out. Definitely up my alley, and I’m impressed. It was difficult to pick only one song because I found all of their songs to be unique and interesting as hell. I’m sure if on your road trip and you’re feeling like you need some intensity, you can skip to this song. And lastly, never underestimate the magic of instrumental music. SOUTH KOREA: Girl’s Day - Nothing Lasts Forever Unless you've listened to K-Pop I suggest you don't diss it. I can proudly say that my boyfriend found this gem ... I can also honestly say I don’t want to know how. The bottom line is that So Jin, Ji Hae, Min Ah, Yura & Hyeri kill it. They’ve offered countless memories for my group of friends and I. Shame? I have none. TIP: Blast this while driving illegally with your friends - you’ll feel badass.This song is magical and has been blasted numerously during late night car escapades. ▲

HIT ME LIKE A MAN, LOVE ME LIKE A WOMAN It was her captivating look that first caught my eye: waist length blonde hair, black-as-night eye makeup and impossibly tall heels accenting legs that go on forever. Not to mention the lingerie apparel that 19-year-old Taylor Momsen rocks regularly like jeans and a t-shirt. When I found out she had a band, The Pretty Reckless, my curiosity was instantly piqued. What I found was bonkers, to say the least. I was and still am taken aback by her sultry powerhouse voice. There definitely isn’t anyone in the business of my knowledge that can belt, moan, scream and croon as she does. And amazingly she is only a year older than I. By listening to songs from their 2010 debut album Light Me Up the general flavour was easily received. Interestingly enough, I find this group both diverse and unique. “Miss Nothing” and “Make Me Wanna Die” are both a mix of classic rock, 90’s grunge with perhaps (dare I say) metal elements. I mean this in the way that their music is heavy, pulsating and at the same time invigorating. Simply put, TPR is the best kind of music to listen to when getting ready for a night out, partying and generally if you’re wearing heels and walking anywhere. I guarantee you’ll adopt a flawless strut and receive a few doubletakes. Of course there are comparisons. Taylor Momsen has relentlessly been compared to miss Courtney Love (who is a badass herself !). I definitely sense some Hole influences, especially with “Miss Nothing”, but Taylor herself has remarked upon the issue,
“She just isn’t one of my idols or direct influences, despite what people think. The public decided that for themselves, but I’m not going to complain, because she is great.”
So needless to say perhaps that’s my own imagination getting carried away. Nonetheless, TPR’s sound is unique. Though their songs are different sounding, they still maintain the I-don’t-give-af*** attitude. Which perhaps is an element of UNCULTURED ... respectively. Hit Me Like a Man, their new EP released March of this year offers impressive range and technical skills. I personally think Ben Phillips, the lead guitarist and backup vocals, does a spectacular job. His guitar solo in “Under the Water” is filled with energy and versatility. The fact that this is more of a ballad for them is amazing. Momsen’s screeches (appropriately near the climax of the song) give me goosebumps. TPR pulls it off effortlessly, of course. It is mainly the Taylor Momsen Show, but not in vain - she’s just a show-stoppin’ chick. Phillips to me is a perfect second mate: he is skilled at what he does and brings some personality to the table. Their energy that feeds off of each other in live performances is nice to see and they’re great at interacting with the crowd; they definitely get everyone pumped to party. Live performances in general for The Pretty Reckless are indeed just that ... pretty reckless. Whether it’s Momsen flashing the crowd or belting out raunchiness you’re bound to leave extremely satisfied. And despite the age difference of the members (Mark Damon - bass, Jamie Perkins - drums) I think it’s safe to say they collaborate extremely well and professionally. As far as lyrics go, I don’t feel that they contain too much substance in their first album, but with Hit Me Like a Man I feel that Momsen and friends did expand their creativity. I’m super excited to see what kind of direction they are going to take in the future and I can definitely say that I am one of their fans. They launched a North American tour in January of this year and unfortunately I missed them while they were in my area, but I’ll be searching to catch them next time ... see you there!

THE RED JACKET $25 M-L BUY IT NOW AT: UNCULTURED.STORENVY.COM
Hi, I’m Sideara! I’m 18 years old and currently getting packed up to move to LA. Once there, I’ll be working on designing, photography, and acting. I’m really hoping I’ll find an apartment that allows animals because I have 2 cats that are my lil’ children and my cute baby jungle carpet python. When I’m not obsessing over my pets I’m working on my clothing line NIN3 with one of my best friends, Devon. My friends and I love to go on adventures and dance around to funky music, like most girls our age. I have an amazing group of friends because each and every one of them is their own person. I like to surround myself with people who strive to accept themselves. I hope to travel the world, and am saving up to visit my other best friend Lee after [they] get out of the Israeli army. UNCULTURED: You started the clothing line NIN3 with your friend
Devon, tell us how it got started and what NIN3 is all about? SIDEARA: “Devon and I have always created things together. In the last few years we started screen printing designs on pieces we’d made and loved them too much not to share. The number 9 increasingly became more and more of an interesting subject to us and the two interests clicked. We hope to spread a message of selflove; something that sadly seems to be a challenge in this mediariddled world of ours.” U: What is your creative process for NIN3? What is the interaction
with the photographers, models, other workers? S: “Well, the reality is we’re just teenage girls. This brand is our dream and we’ve decided to pursue it while we’re young. Right now I’m the brand’s photographer and we use our friends as our models. Everything is fun! As far as the creative process goes, Dev & I brainstorm ideas then come together to blend them with both of our personalities mixed in.”
U: Where do you hope NIN3 will go/do for the world? S: “My dream for NIN3 is that it will help change the way people think about themselves. In the area we’ve grown up in I’ve found it’s routine for someone to stand in front of a mirror with their friends and talk about all the things they don’t like about themselves. It seems like it’s almost automatic for girls to compare themselves negatively to others, and its toxic! There’s so much angst and anxiety generated by all the shit media shoves down our throats. We aim to help relieve that, so when you wear our clothes not only do you feel hot, but you’re reminded not to compare or care what anyone else is doing. Cause it really doesn’t fucking matter!” U: Tell us about your personal style evolution. S: “Fashion has never been a big thing for me. I don’t even really like the word fashion, haha. Designing is a passion but as far as what’s in and out- I hate that mindset! The fashion industry sends a lot of negative messages that are so opposite from what fashion can actually give. When I was younger, fresh out of private school & thrown into the public school system, I was oblivious to the [fact] that other people even cared about what you were wearing. I didn’t think twice about what I put on in the morning. Soon I was ridiculed harshly and found myself lonely and friendless. I tried hard to alter my style so I could fit in with the other kids; I wanted to be liked so badly that it was what made everyone hate me in the end. It took a school of kids disliking me to realize that no matter what I did to be liked, I couldn’t win. I realized that even if it did work they wouldn’t like me for me - it’d be for the face I put on for them. I grew tired of trying and failing to fit into their ideas of what I should be. By the time I entered high school, I was out of energy and I didn’t want to try anymore. Thank god! I wanted to go all out and do anything and everything I wanted to do. Whatever came to mind, I acted on it. This got me into a bit of trouble but had a very interesting impact on my style. As the years have gone by and I’ve continued dressing for me and no one else, more and more people have taken a positive interest in what I wear. I can’t explain how good that makes me feel.”
U: What are we on the brink of ? (Interpret this as you like) S: “I don’t think there’s a way to tell. You could be on the cusp of the greatest moment in your life, or your best idea, and not have a clue. The future is a mystery and I’m okay with that.” U: You are on a plane that's about to go down, crashing in a valley.
You have 3 minutes to select 5 items to take with you after you escape the landed plane, what do you take and why? S: “Uh, uh, uh, food, gun, pack of flares, phone, beach chair! The first four for obvious reasons, and the last to enjoy myself while I wait for help. ” U: How would you define your personal style? What you tend to lean
towards? S: “This type of question is hard for me to answer… My personal style is what I like to wear, it changes every day. I can’t think of it any other way. ” U: Are there any patterns or fabrics you avoid? S: “I like to avoid anything itchy or uncomfortable. Polyester isn’t my favorite either. Other than that, no… I am one of those people who isn’t a fan of the brown and black combo though.” U: Have you seen any good bands live lately? S: “Ugh, not in a while! The Fiona Apple concert is coming up though and I’m dying broke but need to find a way. My birthday’s coming up so I’ll be asking anyone and everyone who cares for me for donations. I’ll be there.” U: What is your favorite statement piece? S: “I guess one of my best pieces is this beautiful neon green dress by Brian Lichtenberg. I guess its statement is “I’m wearing Brian Lichtenberg so obviously all is right with the world”” U: Have you ever been a protester? If so, for what & what did you
do? If not, what would you become a protester for? S: “I haven’t, but I’m strongly for marriage equality. Nobody should be able to have a say in who gets married, I think it’s a right. It’s super fucked up that it’s an issue for people to understand that. Recently Obama announced he supports gay marriage, and it was a big deal. I wish it wasn’t, it should be normal to be a decent human being. ” U: What is your definition of "true beauty"? S: “If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. “A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." Roald Dahl says it best. A beautiful person has honest intentions and a positive outlook. That is true beauty. If you’re with someone who doesn’t recognize that, walk away. ” U: Who or what are your inspirations, creatively & style wise? S: “Music is a huge inspiration for me and can get me into very creative moods. Fiona Apple & Amy Winehouse are game changers. I like to surround myself with creative people also. My good friend Jason Altaan draws and has inspired me a lot.
Style-wise I’m inspired by anyone with distinct personal style, from my friend Anja to Buddhist monks. I guess if I really think about it my mom has had the biggest impact on my style. She loves bright colors and some of my favorite outfits of hers have been all one color or matching pattern. I steal her clothes all the time! She’s collected her clothes throughout her life so she’s got a pretty thrifty vibe. Mostly I collect inspiration randomly, and from different things. Its not too hard for me to get inspired.” U: How can young girls define themselves? Through fashion?
Through action? S: “It takes a lot to get to know yourself. A lot of young people become stressed as they feel like they have to have their whole lives figured out by the time they’re off to college, but you don’t and it’s normal if you haven’t got a clue. If you do what you enjoy and surround yourself with people you love, you won’t need to worry about defining yourself. You’ll figure it out. Act on what you believe in.”
U: What is the most important thing to you? S: “I want the people I love to be happy. I have too much faith in people [and] it’s hard for me to give up on anyone. Actually, I guess if I’m being truly honest, my happiness is the most important thing to me. It may sound selfish but I’m trying to be smart. You gotta learn to love yourself before you can learn to love anyone else.” U: Tell us your hair color/hair style history. S: “When I was in high school I dyed my hair a different color every month. Red, black, dark purple, but I’d always end up back at blonde. Now I keep it blonde but fuck around with different colors for the bottom half of my hair. Right now they’re yellow and green! ” U: Define yourself in 5 words. S: “Oy, I’m horrible at this!! Gold, laughing, loyal, free, guarded.”
U: Last question. It’s known that many North Americans have weight
problems, especially young people. What can be done so young people live a better lifestyle? S: “I just don’t know. I hate the idea of speaking to kids too much about food and being healthy, you’ll get fat and this and that. It may be too late now but if we just offered more healthy options and the most popular food wasn’t also the worst for you, kids would be healthier. If healthy food wasn’t so damn expensive that would help too. Starts with parenting! Surround your kid with good food and try to get them into healthy habits.” U: Any last words? S: “Thanks for the interview!! Everyone reading this should find somewhere you can see the entire sky today, like the top of a mountain. Then close your eyes and scream your head off. It’s good stuff !” ▲
We Are Hairy, Aren’t We?
INTERVIEW BY: KAT WAWRYKOW PHOTOGRAPHS BY: SARAH CAULFIELD
Hello my name is Sarah Caulfield I'm 23, located in Newport, Wales. I'm a painter at the moment, but I've been a hand drawn animator for a while too, coming from an art and graphics background. I've just recently started We Are Hairy People, selling hand painted apparel on Asos, where I run the whole business. I'd love it if one day I could just be the painter, but for now I'm the painter, marketer, model, photographer, accountant, and organizer of all that other business stuff ! It's a job that requires five or six hot chocolates a day. Every thing seems to have come together at the right time for me to be able to manage this job though: I have lots of encouraging, creative friends to help me out, especially my photographer Nick Shand, and favorite W.A.H.P model - Zoey Groves. I'm also very hard working, I've been modeling for 5 years so I have good contacts and a knowledge of advertising. I've just got married and have moved in with my husband, so have a spare room to use as my studio, and of course I have my very supportive cat, Paddy who thinks that all of my endeavors are totally dope. UNCULTURED: Your style is beautiful and simple. Tell us a
little bit how you have developed your own personal style. SARAH: “Oh thanks, that's nice to hear because it [is] what I try to go for! Beauty and simplicity [are] some things I greatly value; I feel like I've only just started developing my own personal style. [With my style,] I like to think about God and what that mysterious thing is like.. which is very changeable [for me], [as] I can come at it from lots of different angles depending on how my faith is going. But there is usually some sort of beautiful simplicity to Him in my view, a little bit like a poem, which I then have used to create my art and [then] put it on to apparel. The difficult thing is that the influential designer collections need to be considered more now that I am in a commercial business - as I need to sell so that I can keep painting, and things that are on trend sell faster, there are some pieces that follow trends, and some that don't. I'd prefer to not have to focus on trends so much in the future and rather to create them.” U: Where did your love for art start, and what is the story of how
you became an animator? S: “I love creating life from nothing, which is why I'm passionate about animation. I wanted to animate since I found a love for Wallace and Gromit which I shared with my dad. The last animation I made just before Christmas, is called called Edwin & The Bear and was awarded funding from IdeasTap. I'm sure I'll animate again soon, but without funding it's not much of an option, and I love being self employed, I'm not sure I could ever work for someone else, because I just want to do what I want to!” U: How does your art translate into your style? S: “I love everything handmade, which is why all of my animation is drawn frame by frame with pencil, and all my Tshirts painted stoke by stoke with a paintbrush. Art is only really art to me if it is done from heart to hand. This style is coming back in, as people start to get sick of machines. Art is like community, it has to be personal. Boo 3D, computer drawn, mass produced, blugh!”
U: What are your fashion & artistic inspirations? S: “I love Jonathan Sanders. The colours, simplicity, patterns all of it is always wonderful.” U: What role does photography play in your clothing line and your
creative outlets? S: “I love having my work turned in to an image which captures more than just the piece on it's own. It's very important to me. I scouted the 2012 W.A.H.P models for about 3 months before deciding on my final 6, and have finally found a perfect photographer with the same passion and heart as myself, but far more skilled who can create exactly what I want, without me intervening. Some of his photography is used in my Asos Boutique.” U: What is most important to you? S: “Fulfillment.” U: Some of your lookbook looks are extremely creative, high-fashion,
representing different collections. What are the stories behind them? S: “Being a model based in Newport, I have a lot of contacts with Fashion Students, so a lot of the looks on there are shoots of their work that I've been inspired by.” U: What are 3 essential things in your closet? S: “Woolens, woolens, woolens. Wales is cold and rainy! I don't generally get to own the pieces I love, as I have such expensive taste. I always say, ‘just because I love a piece, it doesn't mean I need to own it’, because when I die, I can't take it with me... Instead I appreciate the art of it and use it to inspire my own art.” U: What world issue is currently on your mind? S: “I wish everyone knew how much God loves them - I sometimes do and sometimes don't know for myself, it's a difficult thing, but I do believe it would change an awful lot about life on earth.” U: What are some of the things on your bucket list? S: “I want to love to the best of my ability.” U: Do you have any special talents? S: “I once ate 96 bourbons in a day...” U: Last question, what advice would you give to young people when
they are just leaving the nest? S: “The world tells you that success will make you happy, I believe this is a lie. Decide what your most important things are and invest your life in to them - not for selfish gain but for honest living, being true to who you are and what you love.” U: Any last words? S: “My last words should be said in animation, as my life is pictorial rather than word-orial haha, Follow this link, the p a s s w o r d i s e d w i n s b e a r : h t t p : / / v i m e o . c o m / sarahmaxinewilliams/edwinandthebear” ▲
Have you ever heard the saying, “things happen for a reason?” Well, discovering Margaret J. was simply that proverb. I discovered her as a fashion blogger, looking for the next big thing in street fashion. When I stumbled upon her blog her attitude, confidence and style convinced me that she was it. What I didn’t realize is that Margaret, a 20-year-old native from Warsaw, Poland, had an impressive resume to boot, one that is not just limited to mere fashion blogging. She is an up-andcoming Polish singer, is recording for movies and commercials alike, has a champion sled-dog brother and oh yeah, is also an educated woman. Margaret introduced me to her band’s Myspace page and YouTube profile so I could sample some of her music. What I found full-out shocked me. “I started singing [about] 8 years ago. In the beginning I was really bad. I mean, my friends who were singing were 100 times better than me. But I really liked it, so I practiced for a long time. [Then] one day I realized that I am good at this - and then everything started,” she tells me. It’s hard to believe her, since she has me hooked with one listen. I can easily see Margaret J topping the North American charts with her new single, “Thank You Very Much” (which you can find the link to on our blog). It has everything I adored in her Lookbook and blog pictures: attitude, confidence and beauty. I want to tell someone off, get dressed up with friends and go find trouble. Her lyrics have that bit of sass that makes you wish you were her or wish you could possess that same persona. I wondered how a girl like this came to grace the charts, and more importantly why hadn't I heard her sooner. “The most important thing is to believe in yourself, and for me, it [took] touring. I was so stubborn, that`s why I [started to] travel every week - 600km to [different] cities to get lessons and practice [using] my voice. Then I [started] some bands, [and am] recording some vocals for commercials and movies. I`m still trying to[get] noticed, [but] now I have a band with whom I’ve recorded some singles,” Margaret says to me. Like ‘Thank You Very Much’, I know that Margaret has a long, and wonderful career ahead of her. Even her Polish singles sound amazing, and I have no doubt the North American audience will accept her with open arms. “I hate ice cream, I love tattoos, I’m studying at SWPS in the English Department, and I’ve lived alone since I was 16,” she chirps. “I’m proud of myself [for living alone].” she adds. Margaret seems to be full of surprises. Her style seems to echo that well, and is attracting a lot of attention on the popular street style website, LOOKBOOK.NU. “I think that it’s very important to be yourself. When you copy somebody else’s style, it never works. You can look very stylish, but ... how you feel in outfit makes you more beautiful or ugly.” When I asked her how her style has evolved she was quick to answer with enthusiasm. “[I’m still] searching. It’s still changing. I have favorite [go-to] pieces [for when] I’m in a rush. I always feel good [in my gotos], but I like challenges. I like experimenting [by] playing with [different] colors and fabrics.” Margaret’s sense of fashion seems to be a gateway for so many creative endeavors, it keeps me wondering what she will be up to next. “Fashion [really] impacts my life. First of all, I’m officially a workalcoholic. But thanks to my blog I see that my life has a direction and is very nice. But what’s more is that my blog and my fashion life help me with my singing. It’s the best thing that could [have] happened to me. I see that people from [all over] the whole world [are] listening to my covers & singles, and I know that it’s a small piece of [the global] audience but hey, I’m just [getting] started and I am doing my best to show myself, my music and
my fashion to the world.” she adds. Pinning down Margaret’s inspirations is a tough one, since she has so many different creative outlets on the go. “For me, art, fashion, the movie industry and music... everything is about creating - everything inspires me on the same level. I love Banksy [note: A UK graffiti artist] - he has great sense of mood, very smart guy, I love his pieces. For music - [everything] from Beyonce to Regina Spector. I love playing with their works [by making covers]. For fashion- [I like street fashion because] the best part is that there isn’t any rules. I [also] love “Song of Style” fashion blog and some Polish designers. I mean, it’s hard to tell about all my inspirations because there are too many!” Lastly, I inquired about the place she calls home. Poland is an evolving country in the midst of growth and cultural change Margaret tells me, “First of all, Polish people are very friendly and hospitable. We are also a smart nation, but that doesn’t [necessarily] mean that we are intelligent - just smart. You know... We are educated. But we complain a lot. I mean too much and [it] makes drama. But we’re cool. We [also] like helping each other, and like to get noticed. Poland is progressing though .. [so] it’s really hard to define [our culture].” Being from the West Coast of Canada, I was interested in what Poland has to offer. Lately, UNCULTURED has been attracting a lot of eyes from this European nation, so I was curious to find out why. By getting to know Margaret, what I see - I like. I have to agree, Polish people are cool and ahead of the times. Margaret and her band, Margaret J Project, have a shining future ahead of them and I’m pleased to be part of their beginnings. As we wrapped up our interview, I had to ask her, “Any last words?” “My fashion philosophy is: ‘Be well dressed, with a well dressed mind.’ I love wise, stylish women. I love watching them and I believe that`s not only [just] about your clothes. You always should believe in something.” she says satisfied. ▲

RECIPE FOR THE SOUL:
COOKIE CUPCAKES R E C I P E A D A P T E D B Y : J E N N A B E N T Z E N P H O T O G R A P H S B Y : K A T W A W R Y K O W
INGREDIENTS Cookie Mix: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
directions 1.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Cupcake Mix: 10 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix 11 1 1/3 cups water 12 1/3 cup canola oil 13 3 eggs Additional Fun Stuff: 14 Paper muffin liners 15 Any garnishes you like; cookie crumbs, frostings and icings
BAKER’S NOTES: Although the recipe requires 16-18 minutes, I baked mine for 14 and they came out perfect. Some of the reviews said theirs came out dry, which I avoided by decreasing the baking time. For my frostings, I used Betty Crocker Whipped Vanilla Frosting and a homemade chocolate icing. I used some of the leftover cookie dough to place on top and crushed Smarties for an extra touch. People will hoard you, so be wary of bringing them to public places.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, sea salt and set aside. Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg and the vanilla extract, beat until smooth. Then mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Mix just enough to evenly combine, afterwards forming the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Lastly, place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until solid, about 2 hours. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Make sure they are solidly frozen. Take them out only upon use. Next, preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). and line 24 muffin cups with your paper liners. After the two hours, to start making your cupcake mix beat 3 eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add the cake mix, water, and canola oil and continue beating for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each 2/3 full. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake. You don’t have to push it down to the bottom, it will sink if it wants to. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake portion of the cupcake (not the cookie dough ball) comes clean, about 16-18 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. ▲
CHANGE FOR CHARITY i n t e r v i e w “This is fun” she tells me. We are sitting in her high school and simultaneously as we do the interview, she is sketching in a large book. Her drawings look as if she is an animator at Disney - which she informs me she be will one day, and her detail is amazing. She has long brown hair that has been braided down like Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games. Her appearance is Victorian and Steampunk, and she has the sweetest laughter. I’d place her somewhere between Belle from Beauty and the Beast + Ghandi. She is kind and hard-working and has decided to make an arrangement with UNCULTURED to start selling both her accessory lines, The Paper Crane Project & The Croquet For Charity Hairpins at our store (beginning at the end of JUNE)! “I’m giving 100% of the Croquet For Charity’s profits to World Vision, she told me when we were setting up the finalities of the business deal. I jumped at the idea, I thought it was heartfelt and perfect as this is Change for Charity season, here at UNCULTURED. UNCULTURED: Who are you and what do you do? KIMIKO: “My name is Kimiko Fraser, and I do arts and crafts. I am 16 years old.” U: Where did you get the idea to start the paper crane project and the
croquet hairpins? K: “The paper cranes... I literally just started making them out of starbursts wrappers because I was bored. [As for] the croquet flowers, I had a lot of odds and ends from [different] knitting projects, [so] I made all these little flowers and [then] needed something to do with them. It was actually my mother who had the idea to make them into hairpins, and then I thought I should sell them. [I thought] perhaps I would sell them at school for World Vision but never had the time to do so.”
quote of the month: “Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy.

w a w r y k o w
U: What does charity mean to you? K: “I think it is something that God wants us to do, to help one another and to share, because we are very privileged and we can help others and at this time in my life I can’t go on missions trips but I can still help others in this way. ” U: Why is it important to give back? K: “Because we have been blessed with so many things and some people have not been blessed with quite as much so its important for us to share.” U: Why world vision? K: “because world vision is far as I know a Christian organization and I know they have done many good things, and they don’t just help just one country they help more than one. Im not sure how many, but more than one.” U: Where do you hope to take your accessory line? K: “ I do want to design some more, which might not happen until the summer. *Laughs* My mom and I will eventually start an online stores for ourselves.” U: What are your future plans? K: “I don’t know for sure, but there are things id like to focus on like art or history, and id like to work for Disney or Pixar.” U: Any last words? K: “Enjoy the hairpins!” ▲

For another, how can it be the survival of the
L
iving vs. existing ILLUSTRATION BY: MAGDALENA WOLAN WORDS BY: KAT WAWRYKOW
What exactly is your definition of living? The answer is rhetorical. It shouldn’t be something we have to think about to answer. To live is not to exist - that is the answer. To some, this will sound confusing and rather illogical, but I promise you it isn’t. To exist is simple, it is to be, to float, to wander aimlessly. With existing, nothing really matters and there is no beginning and there is no end. And if there is, it doesn’t even matter. But to live, now that is colorful. It is swelling with potential, ambition, discovery, zeal, and emotional connection. Now the real question is, do you just exist or do you live? What does your answer matter? It means everything. If you just merely exist, you are wasting your time here on this earth. You were placed here, in this place, with these people, at this time for a very special purpose whether you know it or not. You are meant to have amazing experiences, feel deep passionate emotions and learn great lessons. Every single day must be magical, even if it was to simply feel the grass between your fingers. If we choose to live, life is better. Living is lifting the veil from our heads and seeing the world through new eyes. There is meaning and purpose to every situation, bad or good, and there is an interwoven tapestry of lives being connected. To see it for what it is is brilliance. The truth is we are here for a short time, whether we like it or not, so why not make our time here a wonderful adventure rather than ho-hum? My problem is that I have to live amongst the blind. Graduation is seconds away, and all that I see is a confused herd of sheep. Some nervous for their next steps of university, trade schools or traveling - but many just lost. Many have wasted their adolescence avoiding reality, avoiding work, avoiding effort, avoiding mannerisms, avoiding experiences like volunteering or surfing or photography, to instead just settle. Settle. Settle for the standard status quo of drinking and puking weekend after weekend. I get it, great fun for everyone in the moment and memories up the ying yang. Hey, I saw a guy puke over the front door of one of my good friend’s houses, just as I went to leave her party. I sure as hell won’t forget that too quickly... But after 12 years of school, you start to realize after all this time you have no talents or abilities or accomplishments to show for it. (Excluding of course your depleted liver). What is my point? Everything in moderation. Living at its finest is living on the edge. Challenging your fears and carrying your cross daily. It is doing what you are too paralyzed to face,
putting yourself in uncomfortable situations, trying new things, walking against the grain, going far away and coming back, being able to have fun without a vice. Oooh, that last one. To have fun sober. That is the ticket. If your most exciting memories can’t be done sober, it is like saying you can only live while you are asleep. There is something wrong with that equation. Am I saying stay away from everything and anything? No way. I am saying try something new. Try a new way of being for a term and see if you feel change, feel more creative, feel more accomplished, feel more experienced, feel like you actually lived. What about the classic rut? I think most people have forgotten what it is like to sit down with their parents at the dinner table and have a conversation. I’ve heard people say, well we have nothing in common and there is nothing to talk about. For starters, they brought you into this world, so yes, you do have something in common. Secondly, you have much to talk about. How you felt today. What you did today. Where you went today. How work went that day. This isn’t sort of a how-to segment, since most people don’t live with their parents, or won’t eventually. It is a reminder that being in touch with those you love may spark a conversation of exciting events or hilarity they faced that day. Even if your rut is merely repeating the same chain of events over and over. You do have free time. You could drive to a waterfall or randomly gorge on doughnuts. Do you see where I’m going? Do you understand what I’m really saying, not just what’s typed out in English? When I walk across that stage, I know where I am going next. I’m ready to get out of here and start a fresh new chapter of life. Change more. Eat more. Travel more. Experience more. Live more. I feel that I am among few who feel similar to me, and my empathetic side feels remorse for those who will feel a shrill of fear and anxiety because this true reality is about to hit them in the face. This is a metaphor. The metaphor is simple. It is “to be free”. When you are faced with the truth, don’t deny it. Set yourself up to face head on with living, call in sick from your job, drive to another province or state. Ask a stranger a daunting question. Don’t take your car out, take the bus. Ask an old enemy to lunch. Go take a solo hobby class, just for the heck of it. Breath and smell the roses, literally, when is the last time you did that? If you got anything from this month’s editor’s rant, it is do something with yourself. You’re too valuable and intelligent for this nonsense of floating. I’m sick of seeing you go to waste. ▲
WORDS BY: KAT WAWRYKOW ILLUSTRATION BY: GRAHAM CHORNY It feels like only yesterday that I heard the words, “Hang me up to dry, you rung me out too, too, too many times...” , “blame it on my A.D.D. baby...”, and “just put my body, in a box...” Much of the time I did not know if the audience was singing louder than the artist’s themselves. What I speak of is Rifflandia - Victoria’s own brainchild. The music festival last year held names like the Cold War Kids, City & Colour and AWOLNATION to name a few. I truly mean this, because there were hundreds of performers playing over the weekend of sun. It was my first time at the festival, and I instantly knew that I would be back again and again throughout the years to follow. It is my misfortune to be move cross the country before the festival commences this year, however Toronto will hold its own shows.
This truly got me thinking that I need to list the
festivals I desire to see this summer before I hop town. In doing so, I realized that my residence is home to some of the most treasured festivals there is to offer, excluding just the treat of some of our most favorite musicians. Our environment is suited to this life - one of excitement, symphony and community. The Coast offers camping, hiking, and a covering of sweet nature to act as a backdrop to festivals and events alike. I am excited to attend these events over the years to come, and thought I should let the residences know of some shows coming our way so we won’t miss snatching up the tickets. (Which I should point out, are fairly cheap despite the standard idea of festival pricing or hefty prices of “big names”.) So lay back, get your snack sack ready, sunglasses on, and relax to the smooth sounds of summer. ▲
