CONtENtS

Dear Friend,

Summer is finally here and so comes many days turning into nights

hanging out with friends wondering where the time has gone. We

all have bonds of friendship unique to each union. However, the

commonality in all friendships is the freedom that comes in no other

type of relationship. From air tea parties to G.I. Joes, seances to jam

sessions, only talking to each-other at parties to sharing a plate of

fries and Matzo Ball soup at three in the morning, we all have our

little rituals that feel like only ours with our friend. With no fear of

judgement we are free to be ourselves and are appreciated for every

bit of us. In this issue we take a walk down memory

lane with brilliant retro inspired fashion

stories by Dove Shore, Frankie Batista,

Tatijana Shoan, and Harry Fellows; we see

the friends of Suckers live out their dream

to have their music heard, and we gain

insight into the secret language between

friends Codi Barbini and Christopher

Golden through their photography showcase

Talking by Installments. All made possible

with a little help from our friends. In this

issue every page is a product of a true

collaboration between old friends and new.

It’s a beautiful thing.

xo,

Eryka

Frankie Batista is considered among the most talented and highly anticipated emerging photographers of his generation. The Miami born, Los Angeles based art director turned photographer has quickly garnered success with a diverse range of clientele, from record labels to top editorial fashion publications. Frankie focuses on creating compelling and emotive fashion-forward lenswork, with a commitment to capturing images that go beyond the boundaries of their printed page. Combining this fresh vision with a delicate attention to detail, his work exerts a sense of character all its own.

Photographer Tatijana Shoan enjoyed early spring in New York by taking her model around the city and photographing her in the last designer spring collections. “The Brooklyn Bridge was particularly fun. The tour-ists went crazy!” Tatijana lives in NYC and is currently working on directing and filming a music video for rock legend, Joe Lynn Turner.

Harry E. Fellows was born and raised in Washington D.C. where his mother bought him his first camera, by request, from a second hand store at the age of 14. His early experimentation with art was expressed through his interest in Graffiti. Harry could be found in the middle of the night, writing “Space” in the shadows and alleys of D.C. and Maryland. In college at the University of Colorado at Boulder, he studied to become a scientist, a herpetologist specifically, but found that he was much more drawn to his elective art classes. In 2001, Fellows enrolled at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, and spent the next four years educating himself on the fundamentals of photography. In 2004 when he moved to New York City, where he assisted photographers such as Mark Seliger and Joshua Jordan. Since settling into his Williamsburg, Brooklyn studio, Fellows has been published in Nikki Style Magazine, Grand Sierra Magazine, Zink Magazine, Spanish Elle, Capital File Magazine, Blue, Mode St. Barts and others. In his free time, he continues to enjoy his love for nature and travel photography.

Melinda Tbell is an inspired freelance fashion stylist known for her boundless energy and eye for detail. Her body of work exemplifies her ability to channel the unique spirit of her clients via dynamic use of fabric, form, texture, and color. Highly skilled at pairing clothing and accessories in fresh and unexpected ways, Melinda also brings an aptitude for organization, forward thinking, and results-driven commercial art. The result is passionate, insightful work that captures attention, exudes emotion, and ultimately tells a compelling style story.

Wild SmileS and Black SheepWild SMilES and Black SHEEp

By: laura Prudom

Photography: harry fellowsStylist: jessica dell Groomer: jamal hodges

There’s a delightful dishevelment to the Brooklyn-based band

Suckers, a breezy quartet of pop-rock experimentalists who

defy definition with every performance. They’ve drawn

overused comparisons to MGMT and Chairlift, but trying to fit

them into a niche already carved by other artists is to do the

band a great disservice.

Wild SmileS and Black Sheep


SUCkERSForeplay

is certainly not a word that has any place in the Suckers’ dictionary; from the surreal video for their infectious tune ‘Easy Chairs,’ in which the heads of the band members float through dreamlike skyscapes on insect bodies, to their chaotic live performances, the Suckers seem determined to buck expectations. While Walker admits that the dizzying video for ‘Chairs’ was actually the brainchild of Pan’s brother Craig, he’s eager to build on the kooky vibe the band captured for the track; “I’d rather have videos that leave people feeling awkward, creeped out, or inspired – otherwise, what’s the point?”

Similarly, the band’s live shows have garnered

much online attention, integrating interpretive

dancers, projections and found instruments in

addition to the Suckers’ already eclectic sounds.

But like everything else in the quartet’s unpredictable repertoire, there’s little

planning involved. “Most of it comes together when we’re actually performing,”

says Walker, who’s known for donning plastic beads, headscarves and messy,

Bowie-esque make-up on stage, “we’ll just have friends join us and do things

and we’ll leave it up to them to incorporate their own ideas into our performance.”

It’s a far cry from the perfectly choreographed (and, dare we say, soulless?)

performances that often populate the grand stages of the AMAs or Grammys, but

that casual authenticity is undoubtedly part of the band’s charm, and Walker has

no intention of stopping short. “I’d like to get more intent upon what we’re going

to do performance-wise and make it a bigger show,” he insists, voice lighting

up with enthusiasm. “It’s a lot more exciting to go to a show where it seems that

there’s purpose behind it visually, rather than just you playing your music live.”

CONVENTIONAL


SUCkERS

It’s no surprise that Walker is drawn to making musical statements that push people out of their comfort zones, it’s apparently a habit he’s nurtured for quite some time.“I faked my own death once and basically had my entire hometown believing that I’d died in a knife attack in New Orleans,” he chuckles sheepishly, when asked to disclose something that readers might be surprised to know about him -- mission accomplished. “I guess it was more of a social experiment;

I wanted to see how far I could actually go and whether people would believe it or not. I felt bad afterwards, I guess I never really thought it through, or that they’d respond the way that they did!

Luckily for the music industry, rumours of Walker’s death were greatly exaggerated, and now the band is wholly focused on making a splash on the mainstream scene, or at least getting to a position where everyone can quit their day jobs. “Music is slowly becoming our lives, but we’re looking forward to the day we don’t have to rely on anything but playing music.”

“ “


SUCkERS


SUCkERS

The Suckers are far from a one trick pony, though;

if their multi-instrumentalism wasn’t proof enough

of that, Walker also lets slip that he, Austin and Pan

are visual artists in addition to musical maestros,

with a background in painting and sculpting, but

confesses that the sudden success of the band has

curtailed his other artistic endeavours. “I kind of go

all out in one direction and forget about everything

else; if I’m exerting all of my energy into one thing,

I feel like the outcome is going to be a lot better than

if I’m spreading myself thinly amongst many things,”

the singer reasons.

We have a feeling that his single-minded focus will

pay off; the band has climbed enough ‘Must Watch’

lists in the past year that their break-out credentials

are all-but assured, and Walker is confident in the

Suckers’ appeal. He doesn’t miss a beat when we go

all high school on him, challenging him to predict

where the Suckers will be in five years. “Hopefully at

the Grammys,” he laughs. “Gotta aim big!”

We have a feeling we’ll see them there.

“Our photographs are a reflection of our lives, feelings we have and have had, experiences we have lived, and memories we have made: each time representing a new piece of the same life. They are about traveling, moving, memory and our own ambiguity.”

”We remember what we want to. We re-live things we believe we lived. The lack of memory, the malfunction of the brain – not allowing it to record or to remember – defines actuality.”

“Each image is a reminder of a different place and feeling, or in some cases emphasizes a current feeling, which will undoubtedly pass: each time representing a new piece of the same life.”

“There is something considerable in the familiarity of places one has visited and then visited again: each time representing a new piece of the same life. It’s almost as if growing up in a place gives you a name, a preconceived notion of who you are. Changing places changes that; as does returning. What does it mean to exist in one place, and then quickly move onto another: each time representing a new piece of the same life.”

Third in line,

The two before me walked more

briskly, with more purpose.

I just followed.


CODI bARbINI

It was dark outside.

Exiting the small square house,

walking through the small porch

onto the cement path, the grass

was un-kept, and weeds grew

through the cracks.

Eyes down mostly, eyes shot up in

the trees, there are people in

the trees.

I think.


CODI bARbINI

The doors opened.

They slid sideways, there aren’t

any seats, just tools. Standing

there hunched.

I’m too tall.


CODI bARbINI

Palms down flat on the bottom of the van.

A tool comes down. It didn’t hurt, but

it should have.

The white porcelain was cold against my back.

I liked it.


CODI bARbINI

How long has it been, eyes stay

closed, everything is shifting back

and forth.

Matching the silence of the

swaying van, I was afraid to breathe.


CODI bARbINI

It opens, climb out, eyes on the ground.

It is dark, too dark. Up hundreds of

stairs. The apartment smells like mold,

and cigarettes.

I go first.


CODI bARbINI

Through the mirror,

eyes make contact, hold.

I smile,

we’re both smiling

We were driving across the country. We were in the desert. Looking out the back window I noticed little black dots hopping across the land. I

turned around, there were more, some were flying, hitting the windshield. We had to slow down. I could smell them cooking on the heat of the car

The Ocean from this or that side. This white cliff over that white cliff - one whiter than the other.

We drank tea and ate strange sandwiches along the way.

We talked about our families, the history of the places, but

mostly we walked.

in reTrospeCT:By eryka clayton & jessica blosser

Viewpoints began to shift to more liberal ideologies of equality, peace and freedom, all built on the bonds of friends and the support of one’s peers. This season’s fashions embody obvious similarities to the original time of bellbottoms and fringed leather jackets stemming from our own political happenings and societal changes.

As we look into four decades past at our reflection we see fashion has evolved in the same vein as our society. At Etro, the bohemian gypsy swept the room with floral print blouses, details of leather fringes and hemlines that glided along the runway. This mixture of elements created a sense of peaceful harmony, each look fitting with the next, bringing us back to the days where community was the soul of pop-culture. The inspiration of peace and love in this season’s fashions may not be something that sticks in trends to come, but incorporating these perspectives of idealism, freedom of choice, and peace into our everyday lives may make our world a little more hopeful, and in turn, allow us to come to the realization that at the end of the day, love is all we need.

The 1970’s were a turning point in fashion and in the development of a new lifestyle and politics.

style of one’s existence - the characteristic mode of one’s

actions is basically, ultimately what matters. For if man

defines himself by doing, then style is doubly definitive

While technology may have diluted what constitutes a “friend” these days what’s not to be overlooked is the value technology can add to the relationships we care about most. If you’re like most of us, you’ve traded in your Myspace account for Facebook, Twitter and a smart phone. High-speed internet provides us millions of pages of information and answers to our every question just a click away via Google or Bing.

Living in the world of high-speed internet, handheld gadgets, iPads, and the biggest shift of advertising dollars in history, things can be a little over stimulating at times. Remember this.

Time goes by fast. People go in and out of your life. you should never miss the oppor-tunity to tell people how much they mean to you. And with today’s technology keeping in touch with friends has never been easier if you follow a few ground rules of online netiquette.

Here’s are some online do’s and don’ts to strengthen the bond with your friends without ruffling any virtual feathers: • DOSendyourbffsuplifting,motivational,orheartfelttextmessagesjustto wish them a fabulous day and let them know you are thinking about them. • DON’TRelyontextmessagingorinstantmessagingforanythingimportant.• DOEliminatemasstextingsuspicionbyincludingpersonalizednamesinany text message that could be misinterpreted as a mass text.• DON’TRandomlywalkawayfromonlinechatswithoutindicatingthatyouare done chatting. Common courtesy people. • DOGoonlineandsendyourbffflowersandsignthecard,“Someonewho thinks you’re special.” Guy, girl, doesn’t really matter. Why? Just because. • DON’TPutembarrassingorcontroversialpicturesoffriendsonlinewithout their permission. you’ll thank me later.

Netiquette for Friends:Friend request: Accept 0 Ignore 0

• DOHaveapresenceintheironlineworld–writesomethingpositiveor uplifting on their Facebook wall. Follow them on Twitter. Get involved! • DON’TCriticize,condemn,complain,orarguewithfriendsonline.Refrain from posting obnoxious comments on their profiles. • DOHelpyourfriendsputtheirbestfootforwardonline.Recommendtheir work or company on your blog.• DORespondviathesamemeansofcommunicationsomeonereachedout to you in. However, it’s acceptable to be more personal (ie. return an email with a phone call).• DON’TInundatepeoplewithmultiplemessagesifthey’renotresponding.• DOGetyourclosefriendstojoinSkypeoruseiChatvideotomakephone calls. It’s way cooler than your average phone call and it’s free. • DON’THidebehindtechnologytoavoidconversationsyou’reputtingoff.• DOSendyourfriendslinkstoarticlesyouthinktheywillenjoy.• DON’TForwardchainlettersorjokes.They’renotthatfunny.Ifthisisthe only time you keep in touch online then you are officially known as “that guy/ girl” when you’re not around. • DOSende-cards.Thereareanumberoffreeonlinesitesthatallowyouto send your friends personalized e-greeting cards.

While nothing replaces the face-to-face bonding with our bffs, these days technology can be used effectively to fill the gaps. If your friends are technologically adverse, take the time to teach them a cool new way to keep in touch.

Technology is our friend and it’s here to stay.
