Tadao Ando: The Urban Guerrilla 

Husband and wife Jay Z and Beyoncé recently purchased a beachfront mansion in Malibu for $200 million, and it currently stands as California’s most expensive home ever sold.

The property spans 30,000 square feet, and the structure itself is made of almost entirely concrete – one of the most expensive construction materials currently on the market. And guess what? This home was designed by an architect with no college degree and no formal education in architecture.

It was designed by the self-proclaimed “urban guerrilla” aka the samurai architect: Tadao Ando.

The Lion King: The Return of Simba

The best part of first grade, or any grade after that, was when we used to see the teacher wheeling in the tv/vcr on that black cart. Grant it they had no idea how to use, by the way. But, this action alone that let you know that you were in for a fun day, regardless of what movie was going to be played. The Lion King is one that we watched that’s pretty memorable for me. The range of emotions from beginning to end was something I don’t think any of us who grew up in the 90’s will ever forget. One of the best animated movies I’ve ever seen, even as an adult. And in the era of remakes, it was only right for Disney to remake it and modernize it.

Charles Harbison: A Balance of Contradictions

Have you ever wondered what preppiness, Yves Klein, Aaliyah's 'Rock the Boat,' and a Slim Aaron's photo of Katharine Hepburn in a Rolls-Royce at Montego Bay have in common? If you are like most people, including myself, these thoughts have probably never crossed your mind all at once. This laundry list of random nouns however, is nothing less than the self-described 2014 collection of one of fashion’s most popular new designers, Charles Harbison.

Baj: Decatur At Heart

“What’s most important to me is to be relatable. I don’t want to be out of reach, I want people to know that I am a regular person...I’m not out here to compete with anyone.

I’m going to try to outdo myself every single time.”

-Baj

Introverted, laid back and down to earth, she is the epitome of a “girl next door.” At 5’4 and 125 pounds, the singer/dancer/songwriter is simple and low key, embracing her very own authentic flavor and style.
