LETTER from theEDITOR
In thIs vibrant global
community, Los Angeles, home of four million where over two hundred different languages are spoken, everything amazes us – the city, the culture, and the arts – from architecture to people, from food to fashion.
Embodying the unique energy and creative spirit of the city, the Walt Disney Concert Hall talks, sings, dances, and plays for Los Angeles. For ten years, it has been one of the most mesmerizing and inviting urban landmarks of LA, and is designed by the architect Frank Gehry to stand among the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world. Well, the truth is: it is LA.
This summer we explore the Walt Disney Concert Hall from the stainless steel curves of its exterior to its state-of-the-art acoustics within, showing you exactly how for ten years it manages to keep screaming for glamour. And we take you deeper into the mind and work of Gehry to find out his source of inspiration.
Treat yourself a journey in the beloved Los Angeles with us; stimulate your taste buds, vision, and mind; reward yourself with tasty (healthy and organic) dishes and fashion.
So please feel free to kick back and relax, readers. Los Angeles is served.

the World and style of fornasetti
“Dear contemporaries, don’t you realise
how different we are? Although I depict you as equals and like the ancients you never change.”
–Piero Fornasetti
piero fornasetti (10 November
1913 - 1988) was an
Italian painter, sculptor,
interior decorator
aengraver.
Combining whimsy
and elegance, Piero
Fornasetti (1913–1988)
transformed everyday
objects like cups,
scarves, and screens
into works of art
featuring his
idiosyncratic leitmotifs,
such as the hand,
the female face, and
luminescent fish.
Additionally, he created
a wide range of works,
including idealized
architectural fantasy
drawings, book designs,
and provocative nudes,
as well as the decor for
the luxury liner Andrea
Doria. Perhaps most
famous for dazzling
pieces of trompe l’oeil
furniture, Fornasetti
was rediscovered in the
1980s and has remained
much sought-after by
collectors worldwide.
Featuring 2,800
illustrations, many never
before published, the
monograph is designed
to be an “artist’s book”
that reflects as faithfully
as possible Fornasetti’s
own approach to design.

1010 It makes you better-looking.
This is not a joke. Believe it or not, falling
in love can really make you look a lot better. If
you’re the type of person who doesn’t care about
your physical appearance, fall in love and see how
you would change. When you’re in love, you will
always try to look your very best not just to impress
the one you love but also to feel good about yourself.
You feel conscious about your outfit, your hair and
your movements.
Even when you don’t exert any effort on improving your
appearance, love really brings something magical to its victims.
When people are in love, they smile a lot. There is a certain
glowing aura that people in love emit that radiates happiness.

9 It makes you nicer.How can you be mean to
people around you when
there is someone who
makes every minute of
your life wonderful? When
people are in love, we tend
to focus on our feelings for
that lucky person and pay
not much attention to other
things, much less to the
things that make our blood
reach the boiling point. And
because there is someone
who makes us smile every
time, it is hard to frown
and make other people’s
lives miserable. We tend
to forget our bitter past
and our plans of revenge
in the future because what
matters is the present.
8 It makes you richer.It doesn’t mean that you
should marry Donald
Trump or some other
billionaire. Even if you
fall in love with an average
guy, you have more
chances of getting rich.
This is because you are
more inspired to work and
you have another reason
to work hard. Intentionally
or unintentionally, you will
find yourself doing your
job a little less exhausting
because the feeling of
going home to someone
you love keeps you through
the day in a way that you
don’t realize how much
work you have done. This
is true. Studies have
shown that individuals
in long-term committed
relationships earn more
than those who stay
single. So if you want
to get rich, fall in love.
7 It makes you healthier.
When you’re in love, you
care about yourself. It’s not
just physical appearance,
it is your overall well-being
including your health. If
you used to ignore that
migraine you’ve been
enduring for years, when
you’re in love, there is a
high chance that you would
call your doctor for an
appointment and schedule
a check-up. You might
even undergo tests that
you have been putting off
for the longest time like
mammogram and PSA.
When you’re in love, there
is an intense urge to care
for your health because you
want to live long, because
you have a good reason to.
You want to live long not
just for yourself but also
for that special someone.
If suicidal thoughts
enter your mind all the
time, you will forget
about them altogether
when you fall in love.
You have a reason to live
now and you know how
your self-destruction
makes him or her feel.
And you don’t want
him/her to be hurt,
especially not by you.

FALL IN
LOVE
6 It makes you mushier.There’s nothing wrong with being mushy. It only
means that you are sentimental and emotional. It
only means that you care about how other people
feel, especially the person you are in
love with. If you have always thought
that the lines uttered in those
romantic movies are stupid, you will
be surprised to find yourself in one,
saying those mushy lines. It is alright.
There is nothing unmanly about
expressing how you feel and letting
your significant other know how
important he or she is to you. It is not
a crime. Being mushy is not a crime.
5 It makes you stronger.Although it can also make you
weaker in certain ways, falling
in love makes you stronger.
How? First of all, sex is a good workout. Haha.
Seriously, people in love want and try to be strong
for themselves and those we care for. We will do and
endure anything to protect the person we love and
give them what he or she wants. When we are sick,
we want to get better fast so we can enjoy
more time with him or her. We become
stronger so we can catch them when they
fall and lift them when they are down.
Being strong can also be interpreted
in another way. Some people can take all
the pain that love brings just so they don’t
lose them. Even when they are hurt by
factors ranging from differences to third
party to family, they choose to stay in
the relationship because they are strong
enough and they know that it will
pass. Love is not easy to let go. If we can
keep it, we will. Love is like that. It’s pleasure
and pain rolled into one and it takes a
lot of strength. Love is not for the weak-hearted.
4 It makes you wiser.Being in a relationship
is not all about sunshines
and rainbows. There
are bad, depressing
moments, too. Although
it is not a good reason
to fall in love, it is not
a reason not to, either.
In fact, mistakes are
essential in love. Each
mistake teaches you
something important.
Every time you make
a mistake, you learn.
And every time you
learn, you become wiser.
This enables you not to
do the same mistakes
again. Being wise means
growing up. And it
takes grownups to
run a relationship.
3 It makes you more responsible.
If your life is in disarray,
you will set everything
straight when you’re in
love. You will find a good
job because you think
of your future together.
You will take good care
of your finances. You
will fix your relationship
with your family. You
will forget about your
unfinished business
with your exes. You will
even clean your room,
which you haven’t done
since you hit puberty.
When you’re in love,
your life develops a
sense of direction.
2 It makes you more creative.
When you’re in love,
you think of new ways
to take your loved
one’s breath away. You
cannot do things over
and over again or you
will beth get tired. You
will be forced to come
up with new, refreshing
ways of saying “I love
you,” of celebrating
anniversaries, of letting
him or her know how
you feel. In some cases,
people find themselves
learning or trying to do
things new to them like
writing songs or doing
something embarrassing.
The funny part is, you
don’t complain because
you enjoy doing it. Weird,
but you really do.
Another way of being
creative is when he or
she asks you where you
have been last night.
Yeah, that will really
squeeze out all the
creative juices in you.
1 It makes you happier.
When you’re in love,
you will never find
yourself alone. You
already have a partner
to do things with and
it’s not just sex. Yes, sex
makes people happy
but it’s more than that.
Simple activities can
become fantastic when
you do it with someone,
especially with the
one you truly treasure.
These things will make
you happy and it will
show big time. You’ll be
surprised that you will
see yourself smiling and
laughing all the freaking
damn time. You think
about him or her, you
smile. You see him/
her walking, you smile.
You see him/her trip
on her toe, you smile.
When you’re in love, you
always think positive.
Individuals in long-term committed
relationships earn more
than those who stay single
First of all, sex is a good
workout.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic continues its reinvention of the concept of a 21st-century orchestra under the
vibrant leadership of Gustavo Dudamel. Embarking on its 92nd season in 2010/11, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras and is received enthusiastically by audiences and critics alike. Both at home and abroad, the Philharmonic is leading the way in innovative programming and redefining the musical experience.
1 9
This view is shared by more than one million listeners who experience live performances
by the Los Angeles Philharmonic each year. The Philharmonic demonstrates a breadth and depth of programming unrivaled by other orchestras and cultural institutions, performing or presenting nearly 300 concerts throughout the year at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, a popular summer tradition since 1922. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles also extends far beyond regular symphonic performances in a concert hall, embracing the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a vastly diverse community.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. The 94 musicians of the new ensemble met for their first rehearsal Monday morning, October 13 of that year, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had brought from the St. Paul (Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the orchestra’s premiere performance before a capacity audience of 2,400 at Trinity Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles. The audience heard Dvořák’s New World Symphony, Liszt’s Les Préludes, the Overture to Weber’s Oberon, and Chabrier’s España.

Rothwell remained the orchestra’s Music Director until his death in 1927. Since then, ten renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933); Otto Klemperer (1933-1939); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (1985-1989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present).
Following its opening season in 1919/1920, the orchestra made Philharmonic Auditorium, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Olive, its home for the next 44 years. In 1964, the orchestra moved to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music Center, which was its winter home until its final performances there in May 2003.
In October 2003, the doors to one of the world’s most celebrated venues — the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall — were opened and the Los Angeles Philharmonic took the stage in its new home, which has become known not only as a local cultural landmark, but also as “…a sensational place to hear music...

at all.” (The New Yorker) Praise for both the design and the acoustics of the Hall has been effusive, and the glistening curved steel exterior of the 293,000-square-foot Walt Disney Concert Hall embodies the energy, imagination, and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.
Inspired to consider new directions, Gustavo Dudamel and the Philharmonic aim to find programming that remains faithful to tradition, yet also seeks new ground, new audiences, and new ways to enhance the symphonic music experience. During its 30-week winter subscription season of 110 performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Philharmonic creates festivals, artist residencies, and other thematic programs designed to delve further into certain artists’ or composers’ work.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s commitment to the presentation of music of our time is evident in its subscription concerts, the exhilarating
Green Umbrella series, and its extensive commissioning initiatives. Now in its 29th year, the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, devoted exclusively to performing compositions on the cutting edge of the repertoire, attracts leading composers and performers of contemporary music.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association expands its cultural offerings by producing concerts featuring distinguished artists in recital, jazz, world music, songbook, and visiting orchestra performances, in addition to special holiday concerts and series of organ recitals, chamber music, and baroque music.
The Philharmonic has led the way into the digital age, with groundbreaking web and mobile device applications. Through an ongoing partnership with Deutsche Grammophon, the orchestra has a substantial catalog of concerts available online, including the first classical music video released on iTunes.

you’ve been dying to try that new shampoo that’s supposed to make
your hair thick, lush and shiny. you can’t wait to use that new exfoliating scrub because the label tells you that it’s going to make your skin soft and glowing. you love that new cologne; every time you wear it you get so many compliments on how great you smell!
you love these products and how they make you look and feel, but did it ever occur to you that what you put on your hair or your skin could make you sick? did you know these products contain chemicals, toxins and hormones that can cause anything from an unsightly rash to learning difficulties to birth defects
and even cancer? even though each product may contain a limited amount of these toxins, please keep in mind, most people use several products each day, from the moment they wake up (soap, shampoo, conditioner, shave cream, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, make up) until they go to bed. after many years

of daily use, these toxins accumulate in your body to cause the ailments i’ve listed above, among many others. if they cause these concerns for adults, just imagine the damage they can do to children who are smaller and weigh less. although each product you may use may contain a restricted amount of chemicals, hormones and toxins, they can, and many times they do cause a myriad of damage to us all.
not only are these beauty products toxic for humans, they are toxic to the environment, as well. many of these products are made with petroleum-based ingredients, which contributes to global warming. did you know that if you switch just one bottle of a petroleum based product for a vegetable based product we could save 81,000 barrels of oil in one year. how’s that for incentive to switch?
so now you decide it’s time to go “green”, you go to the health food store and purchase “organic” or “natural” products and you n o longer have to worry about these concerns ...or do you?
