l’étoile magazine has been keeping secrets from you. Over the past year, we
have quietly planned the launch of the new l’étoile as a full-size, biannual
fashion and art book. We kept as mum as we could, but spring is here and
it’s finally time to share our secrets. We’re going to tell you everything.
l’étoile debuted in the spring of 2005 as a half-size fashion magazine lovingly
assembled by a handful of friends. A second issue was released in the fall of
that same year, followed by a third issue in spring of 2006. Then it disappeared.
Although the staff kept the Twin Cities plugged into the local arts community
at letoilemagazine.com, and continued to host and sponsor events, everyone
wanted to know: where is the magazine?
Before we could release the issue, we had to find our voice. Over glasses of
wine at Clubhouse Jäger and pints of beer at the CC Club, we were constantly
hashing out what makes l’étoile different. We wanted to create a magazine
that truly celebrates and encourages imagination. It takes incredible bravery
to create something and put it on display for the world to judge. l’étoile
magazine is dedicated to the people that take that risk. This issue is a romantic
journey into the minds and hearts of artists.
In these pages, Twin Cities designer Laura Fulk models her own dresses. The
contrasting colors and flowing lines of her pieces would have looked exquisite
on a model, but it’s especially engaging to see an artist wrap herself in her
own work (particularly an artist as easygoing and photogenic as Fulk).
In Let’s Pretend, married couple Ben Olson and Emma Berg provide us with
a glimpse into the fantastical world of an artist and his muse. Olson has been
known to wake his sleeping wife in the middle of the night to pose for him.
Berg, a tiny sprite with sharp and expressive features, sparkles as the object
of his obsession. Photographed in their home, the couple tells an intimate
story of love, commitment, and inspiration.
I’m particularly excited to introduce our Submissions section. Artists from all
over the world were intrigued by the concept of l’étoile and submitted their
work to the magazine. The creative flood transformed us into matchmakers,
pairing artwork from local and international artists. The result is a unique
exhibition of beauty readers can behold just by turning the page. After a long
silence, l’étoile is no longer in the business of keeping secrets.

What is sound collage? You can compare sound collage artists to
photo collagists who cut imagery from photographs to assemble
new work. Sound collage artists use playback equipment to
both cut into previously existing sound recordings, and then
assemble their brand new works of collage.
How is SAR different from other radio shows? It’s a weekly
audio art show, focused on artists who create with splashes of
sound, that are appropriated, manipulated, and juxtaposed to
form new works of sonic art.
Recommend three SAR-approved artists: My label,
Recombinations, has just co-released a wonderful new album
of sound collage by Lecture On Nothing, called ‘September 10.’
Wayne Butane and The Tape-Beatles are two favorites, with two
wildly different approaches to the art of sound collage
What is your most current art project? I just wrapped several
new works of my own sound collage for display at Rosalux
Gallery.
Describe your dream date: We would begin by roller skating
through the Andes, and end by devouring each other alive. In
between, probably something simple like dinner and a movie.
Some Assembly Required airs in the Twin Cities on Saturday
afternoons from 2-3 on 770 Radio K. For more information, visit
some-assembly-required.net.

Why do you paint? It’s a reaction to my environment and
a way to express my beliefs.
Who is your favorite artist? Vincent Van Gogh. He never
stopped, even when everyone around him told him he
should.
You’re known around the Twin Cities for your signature
‘Impeach Bush’ vest. Did you make it? Yes.
Is it true that you’re a fit model? Yes. I try on clothes for
Target. It’s like being the kicker for a pro football league,
but less stressful.
Are you really married? Stop teasing.

What is your preferred artistic medium? Film and video,
with music infused. I would love to play music, and then
do my own videos and get paid for it. As of now, I’m doing
it without getting paid.
Who has influenced your aesthetic the most? John
Kricfalusi, Robert Rodriguez, Lloyd Kaufman, Michael
Jackson, Led Zeppelin.
What would you do if you couldn’t be an artist? I would
be a nomadic mask maker in Borneo.
How old were you when you saw your first horror movie?
What was it? During the heyday of VHS rental, I remember
sneaking into the living room and hiding behind a couch
while my parents watched the movie A Nightmare on Elm
Street.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Flight is too easy; it’s equivalent to freedom, which is what
I think someone my age is constantly seeking. But if I had
to choose just one superpower, it would be superspeed,
much like the Flash.

Why tree houses? I’ve always been a fort kid. A few years ago,
my dad suggested we build a tree house in the backyard.
Did you ever think building tree houses could be a career?
During the first project, I was just obsessed with building the
ultimate tree house. While I was working on it, I never dreamt of
it catching on beyond that.
Have you ever been afraid of heights? No. You can even ask
my mom. I’ve been climbing out of the car and scaling the
countertops since I was three.
Are you a hippie? I don’t think I would classify myself as a hippie.
It’s too much of that free love, hunkydory, co-op thing. I want to
affect things on a larger scale.
What’s your all-time favorite Halloween costume? The
Minnesota Ice King. That costume’s lived through four different
generations, four years in a row.

It’s nice to see that there are still some
celebrity couples who know how to bow
out. While the media bombards us with
daily reports of paternity tests, drunken
escapades, and dangerous brushes with
the paparazzi, it’s incredibly refreshing to
see two loved and respected superstars
separate with class and dignity.
After a storied past, with little much in
the way of juicy gossip, the breakup of Mr.
Guthrie and Ms. Walker surprised many
locals, though industry insiders had been
aware of the longtime duo’s eventual
demise for several months. As popular
matchmaker Michael Graves sewed the
relationship between Target and the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts, eyes began
to wander for Guthrie and Walker. With
the careers of both continuing to boom, it
was inevitable that their loving run would
have to come to an end.
The couple’s power struggle officially
came to a head in mid-2006, when
Guthrie packed up and moved to new
digs along the Mississippi River. Though
friends had been trying to lure him
away for years, many find it ironic that
architect Jean Nouvel, a Frenchman
with little experience in the love and
lives of American entertainment, would
ultimately be responsible for the split.
While many prayed the two might have
a change of heart, Ms. Walker swung her
wrecking ball and emerged with a new
look. The makeover ended speculation of
a rekindling by removing all visible signs
of her relationship with Mr. Guthrie.
Though their reign as the Twin Cities
golden couple has come to an end,
Guthrie and Walker appear to still think
of each other fondly. In the shadow of
Guthrie’s new home sits Spoonriver
Restaurant, perhaps an homage to his
former lady’s Spoonbridge and Cherry.
With new friends and opportunities
greeting the now separate pair at every
corner, the single life seems to suit them
well.

Three years ago, the thirty-something Los Angeles native made a tough decision: he left his role as DJ to the acclaimed hip-hop group Jurassic 5 and started a solo career. The transition required patience and a new sense of dedication. He hunted for records in Brazil and logged hours listening to alt-rock radio.
The long hours paid off with his most recent release, last year’s ‘The Audience’s Listening’. In addition to establishing McFadden as a solo artist in the underground hip-hop scene, Apple picked up a track to use in their iPod nano advertisements and he has since toured with Shakira. McFadden’s appeal to indie music lovers, Top 40 listeners, and a major corporation is the direct result of a sound that incorporates music from all over the globe. “[The Audience’s Listening is] a hybrid of sounds: rockabilly, old school hip-hop, Ethiopian jazz, electro, Latin funk, they all made their way into the album. And they’re all meshed up together so it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact elements as they’re happening.”
McFadden chocks up the lengthy chunk of time it took to record his solo album to first album jitters. “At times, I felt like a struggling, single, pregnant mother, but then, I had my baby and a huge weight was lifted as I let it spread its wings and fly freely into the world.”
Although switching labels to move to Warner Elektra was a major change in representation, McFadden seems unaffected. He looks at the record deal as a way to bring his music to a wider audience. McFadden says, “Hip-hop should be fun. It can have mainstream hits and still have underground acceptance.” Mainstream singles and underground credibility? Cut Chemist may just get to have his cake and eat it, too.

More than half of the band may have no relationship
to Minneapolis, but with LFTR PLLR’s former frontman
Craig Finn and bassist-turned-guitarist Tad Kubler as its
founders, The Hold Steady is like a project completed
from LFTR PLLR’s blueprints. Though they’ve left us for
Brooklyn’s bigger digs, repositioned Finn and Kubler
still esteem the Minneapolis music scene, and still
consider us home.
“I definitely consider myself a Minneapolitan,” said
Finn, who grew up in Edina. “I think wherever you go
through puberty, that’s where you’re from, no matter
how much you move.” As a teenager, Finn would escape
the confines of the suburbs by taking the bus into town
to see shows at First Avenue. These early experiences
began to shape him as a rock-n-roller. Kubler grew up in
a small city in Southern Wisconsin and says that “Cheap
Trick, Kiss, ACDC, Led Zepplin—kind of that first era
of rock and roll— was kind of what initially excited me
about music. That’s essentially how I learned to play
guitar, was just sitting down with those records and just
keep putting the needle back…until I figured out what
they were doing.” Kubler and Finn joined up to form
LFTR PLLR in the mid-90s. The band released three LPs
and an EP, gaining a devoted Twin Cities fanbase before
breaking up in 2000.
According to Finn, the new Hold Steady album, “Boys
and Girls in America,” is an exploration into the quest
for romance in U.S. culture. “There’s so many things you
get smarter about as you get older, but somehow love
is something that you don’t—like you don’t understand
it better at 35 than you do at 17,” Finn says. Even now
as a transplant, Finn’s longtime love affair with his
hometown keeps him writing Minneapolis-flavored
stories in his song lyrics.
“I think Minneapolis has gotta be the best music city
in the country. Part of what you do in Minneapolis is
go see music. If you go to shows in other cities the
crowds are less diverse…. there’s not that kind of cross
over thing….When I lived [in Minneapolis, it was] very
natural to do a LFTR PLLR/ Dillinger Four/Atmosphere
show.” Finn credits long-standing alternative music
performance and media venues, such as First Ave, The
City Pages, and the newer Current radio station, for
shaping our stellar music terrain.
“I have a really romantic vision of Minneapolis,” he
admits. “I don’t know if other people do, but I just think
there’s something really romantic about the whole
thing—with the two cities and the Mississippi river and
all this, and then the outline of the suburbs, the wide
open spaces… I think it’s just brilliant and it’s extremely
American.”

ECLECTIC
COIFFURE / TREEHOUSE
RECORDS STYLE
Being part of Twin Cities styling collective eclecticoiffeur is akin to
being in a band; each member plays a different part (hair, makeup, and
fashion) with different instruments (scissors, makeup brushes, and pins)
to create a cohesive piece of art. When presented with the opportunity
to produce a photo shoot for l’étoile, we instinctually turned to one of our
biggest inspirations: music. From the Kurt Cobain-inspired look I rocked
in high school, to a recent photo shoot that I styled to channel ‘60s-era
Velvet Underground, musicians have always been my fashion muses.
The Who personified the mod revolution of the ‘60s, while Jim Morrison
brought his bad-boy hippie style to the realm of psychedelic rock. Mick
Jagger’s colorful, androgynous style of the ‘70s characterized a decade.
Duran Duran exemplified dark and sexy in the ‘80s, while ‘90s gothic
troubadour Nick Cave was elegantly disheveled. What better subjects for
our reimaginations than some of the Twin Cities rock icons of today?

Benjamin Fredrickson’s unique designs keep him ahead
of the curve in menswear. A lifelong interest in fashion and
a background in photography made the shift to fashion
design a natural progression. Ben’s screen-printed tees
and patch worked ponchos have been sold locally and
in New York City boutiques. His designs were recently
featured in Japanese street style magazine Popeye.
He is currently developing his 2007 fall collection.

namesake appropriaTely represenTs
The Tough buT whimsiCal view ungemaCh
has of his paTh To inTernaTional
reCogniTion and suCCess. afTer winningDensity Studios’ “The Art of Design” showcase, his work
has been shown all around the Twin Cities, as well as in
Portland, Oregon, and even the German design magazine
LOW.
The self-described media “molester” began designing for
local musicians he met in the hip-hop scene.
“I decided I was going to be a rapper,” Ungemach says
of his decision to drop out of the Art Institute at the age
of 19. Having previously indulged in graffiti, Ungemach
submerged himself into the local hip-hop scene, mingling
with local artists and trading designs for studio time.
“I wasn’t a great rapper, but oddly enough that’s where my
design career started,” Ungemach said. “A flyer here, an
hour in the booth there, an album cover here, a few beats
there… Sooner or later I realized I had more fun making
album covers than albums, and more fun making flyers
than playing shows.”
Not only did the hip-hop scene provide him with local artists
as potential clientele, it also taught him unconventional
ways of promoting himself.
“Almost every show I would go to back in the day, I would
see MCs outside with a backpack full of CD’s to sell to the
people coming out.” Ungemach took this idea, and turned
it into an unusual approach for marketing his designs. “I
became a whore. I went to every show with a stack of
business cards and my portfolio. As soon as whoever was
on stage was done playing, I would shove a card at them
and ask if they had any flyer/t-shirt/ poster/ sticker/ album
cover work they needed done.”
But this approach alone didn’t earn enough to pay the bills.
Ungemach credits the support of his girlfriend with helping
him stay afloat, “she was gracious enough to accept the
risk of me possibly not having my half of the rent. Without
that support, I never would have had the balls.”
Also credited for his success were Unicus and the
Dinkytowner, who hired Ungemach to produce a monthly
flyer for The Hook Up, a weekly hip-hop showcase.
“Every flyer had my website on it, so it was like a monthly
business card,” Ungemach said. “Also, getting to design
the new Dinkytowner logo and paint a huge mural of it
behind the stage with my name in the corner didn’t hurt
with getting my name out either.”
But it wasn’t until a local media manufacturing firm took
notice that Ungemach’s career turned professional. “So
during my freelance stint I was getting a lot of album
cover work, at least four of those albums went through
Copycats Media. I included a biz card with every project.
Eventually, I got an email that asked if I wanted a job in the
art department.”

It was this job at Copycats Media that offered Ungemach
the high-end knowledge that he desired. “Through
Copycats I learned more than I even knew there was to
know… At this point, I’m working full time at Copycats,
then I come home and work another 6 hours on freelance.
I’m never not working on something.”
Although his work at Copycats Media often requires him to
cater to the clients’ wants and needs, Ungemach’s design
process is largely unchanged from his earlier work. I
nfluenced by such artists as Saul Bass and Will Bradley,
Ungemach’s work is ever evolving.
“A lot of the time I like to start by drawing something, be
it the letters or a person, or if I can’t think of anything I
go through my sketchbooks… Of course [I] find as many
elements specific to the client, like a logo or a picture or
images that fit the theme. I bring all that into Photoshop,
molest the hell out of it, then bring it into illustrator…and
molest it further. I continue molesting the elements and
fonts until it doesn’t suck, and then I send it to the client,”
Ungemach said of his process. “At least that’s one of my
methods. Sometimes there is much less molesting.”
When he looks back at his career, Ungemach has few
regrets. “I do sincerely apologize to everyone I cornered
after a show and forced to look at my portfolio, made
listen to my speech about why I should do their next
album cover.”
One thing’s for sure: the strategic use of texture and
details in every one of Ungemach’s designs now speak for
themselves.

know your luxury labels and their proponents:
Krug: Krug has gained popularity as the champagne of
Ernest Hemingway, Francis Bacon, and Madonna. The
international club scene, the latest symbol of shameless
consumption, has most recently endorsed Krug. The
production of this house is miniscule, at approximately
600,000 bottles annually, and the sudden demand for
this ultra polished, well-heeled wine may drive prices up
even higher.
Bollinger: Bolly was brought back into the limelight with
the recent release of Casino Royale, in which it was featured
as 007’s champagne of choice. Bollinger’s prestige label
Grand Anneé, which translates approximately to “great
vintage,” was originally celebrated in Evelyn Waugh’s
novel Decline and Fall.
Moët & Chandon: Moët & Chandon produces Dom
Perignon, the signature cuvée named after the French
monk who was originally credited as the inventor of
the methode champenoise. Dom no longer fetches the
nosebleed premium it did twenty or thirty years ago,
but it still holds steady as one of the top three prestige
cuveés consumed annually.
Salon: Salon only produces vintage, blanc de blancs (100%
Chardonnay) champagne, on a practically microscopic
scale. The house of Salon, which was originally owned
by a Parisian furrier, epitomizes a precious and very
expensive wine that has a cult following with sommeliers
and old money aristocracy. If you don’t know how much
Salon costs, you probably can’t afford it.
Tattinger: A house founded in 1734, Tattinger’s prestige
release, Comtes de Champagne, is a precisely produced,
vintage wine, that is supported by a major following in
Japan, as well as a developing popularity in the newly
burgeoning Chinese economy.
Veuve Clicquot: Veuve Clicquot shrewdly determined the
destiny of success of one of champagne’s most famous
houses. Clicquot’s Yellow Label non-vintage champagne
has practically become a household name for Americans,
while their prestige cuvee, La Grande Dame, is their best
kept secret.
Looking At Luxe
The presentation of a bottle of champagne is precious,
beautiful, and unlike any other agricultural product.
Thanks to the graphic aesthetic of champagne, these
wines are the articulation of a design tradition unrivaled
in the display of old world grandeur. No other luxury
product in the world, saving fine perfume, commands
such a layered, semiotic control over its followers than true
champagne. The labeling and bottling of champagne is a
feat of design that should be celebrated and understood
for its ability to convey the nuances of the world’s most
precious libation. Apart from enjoying the lavish bubbles
of champagne, looking at the labels and artwork of these
wines is a pleasure unto itself.
The advent of the lithography process in Czechoslovakia
(1798) permitted wine labeling to expand throughout
Europe during the early 19th Century. Mass scale printing
and branding occurred for the first time, with true
attention to detail and signature style, leading to the
development of product monikers.
The elaboration of sumptuous champagne labels and
signature branding steadily evolved as the popularity
of champagne increased and the Industrial Age created
an upper-middle class. It was during this time that the
development of prestige labels occurred, the most famous
being Louis Roederer’s Cristal, a champagne created in
1876 for the specific taste of Russian Czar Alexander II.
Cristal’s distinctive gold label, and puntless, clear, glass
bottle (clear for the detection of poison) distinguish it
still, announcing an extravagant, “blinged-out” style
that has appealed to hip-hop moguls such as Jay-Z and
Diddy.
The 20th Century gave rise to a plethora of prestige
cuvée and vintage champagnes, which today can retail
upwards of $500 per bottle. These champagnes, whether
successful because of celebrity endorsements or finely
developed cult status, boast some of the industry’s most
beautifully detailed labels.
Even if you can’t afford to sample these absurdly
expensive wines, feasting on their presentation and
graphic tradition is in reach for all of us with an eye for
detail.

water makes up the better part of the human body. we may not consider
how this defines us as individuals, but we are bound to this physical
reminder of our relationship to the environment. as we plumb the depths
of our consciousness, consider the hydro-oxygen in our composition.
The following pieces were designed to measure this very element of our
existence. by measuring the amount of water in a particular human being
in varying containers, the display demonstrates the personality of the
individual. why not find the measure of the one you love?

Matt and Amy Terry
Owners of Maude Salon
Upon entering Maude Salon, it is impossible not to
be charmed. If the happy colors and vintage furniture
don’t get you, the delightful owners and their Yorkshire
Terrier, Beatrice, will. Matt and Amy Terry opened
Maude Salon almost two years ago. The business
allows the couple to spend their workdays together
(she is a stylist; he is a freelance web designer), while
also affording them the luxury of bringing their dog to
work. Tucked away next to Altered Aesthetics Gallery
in the Qarma Building, Maude Salon fits right into the
Northeast Minneapolis artistic community. The aqua
walls and carefully selected kitsch (such as a set of
green, plastic hedges) create an inviting atmosphere
that is capable of putting even the most scissorphobic
at ease. Harold and Maude posters and rows of brightly
colored hair extensions say, “Life’s short. Dye your hair
pink.” Even Beatrice adds to the pleasant environment
(clients confirm that Beatrice will be in the salon when
scheduling their appointments). Whether you’re trying
out rainbow hair extensions or just taking a little off
the top, you’ll leave Maude with a cheery disposition.

Sean Tubridy
Graphic Designer and Illustrator
Shelves of robot figures. A Fisher Price record player. A
gumball machine. No, this is not the fantasy bedroom of
eight year-old boys the world over, it is the very grown up
studio of graphic designer and illustrator Sean Tubridy.
As a one man business, Tubridy requires a space where
he can display his work, meet with clients, and work
on his designs. His entire studio appears effortlessly
clean and organized, from the rows of his prints, to the
small, glass dishes holding buttons that he’s designed.
The space presents an image of an artist with a sense
of humor balanced with a commitment to perfection.
Polaroids hang on the wall in meticulously straight rows.
Karin Jacobson
Jewelry Designer
Karin Jacobson is a lesson in juxtaposition. Her designs
are fun and feminine, but her materials, mostly lab-
grown gems and precious metals, are substantial,
lending a healthy weight to each of her pieces. This
contrast extends to her studio, which is divided into
a space to showcase her jewelry and a workspace to
create it. She keeps her display area clean and minimal,
with nods to her design inspirations, such as Japanese
pop culture, comic book art, and retro science fiction.
Framed panels from her Super Karin comic book
(designed by Sean Tubridy) and an Asian floral banner
hang on the walls (one of which is painted cotton
candy pink). White metal lockers and a pink couch
state that Jacobson is not an artist who takes herself
too seriously. Her workspace, however, means business.
And that business is filthy. Drawers in her workbench
are brimming with tools and supplies. Countertops
are covered with works in progress and coiled metal
shavings. It takes a lot of machinery to create that
delicate, dragonfly pendant. The studio suggests that
Jacobson may have found the perfect balance; she
likes pretty things, but she still loves to get dirty.
superkarin.com
Skateboards and snowboards designed by Tubridy
stand at attention. Even the Japanese lanterns hang
from the ceiling in a perfect arrangement. The color
scheme is unexpected and appealing; tomato red and
avocado green furniture stand out against the light
blue and white walls. The entire effect of the studio is
impressive, especially given that it was put together by
a grown man obsessed with robots.

Steve Rossow
Instrument Building and Repair
Interior design hasn’t been necessary for Steve
Rossow’s studio. In his profession, tools and supplies
are more appealing than any picture he could hang on
the wall. Rossow, who’s been building and repairing
instruments for eight years, spends his days in a
woodworker’s paradise. Lumber is stacked in racks
against the wall in the entryway; the richly saturated
boards, in shades ranging from creamy white to deep
amber, best the most beautiful wallpaper. Completed
guitars, violins, mandolins, and banjos are displayed
42
as shining works of art. Chests and shelves of tools are not
meant to serve an aesthetic purpose, but there is definite
appeal to the sense of order. A cello and an ancient violin
lie in mid-repair on his worktable, vulnerable and in need
of attention. The feel of the studio is somehow romantic,
as if each instrument has its own personality and its own
particular needs. When sunlight streams through the
windows and illuminates flecks of sawdust in the air, the
effect is heavenly.

Ben Olson and Emma Berg live in a shadowbox. Furnishings are scarce, but the rooms overflow with
art. Tall canvases lean against doorways, casting long shadows across the hardwood floors. Paintings
and photographs from dear friends overlap on walls, competing for attention. As the sole subjects of
Olson’s paintings, the couple knows how it feels to be on display. At exhibitions, they are surrounded
by their own faces, which gaze out through sentimental seas of color and Olson’s signature red acrylic.
Olson considers the painted subjects to be characters of his creation, but it’s not surprising that a
stranger may assume he is seeing the couple’s most private moments.
Olson and Berg embody the dynamic relationship between an artist and his muse. This devotion
inspired Creative Director and romantic voyeur, Molly Roark, to create a story that explores a journey
through abstract thought, provocation, and divine partnership.

A background in fine arts has fueled Laura Fulk’s longtime love of
clothing as sculpture. With every piece, she strives to breathe life
into a movable, wearable article of clothing. By tying in themes of
female identity and empowerment, she loads each ensemble with
narrative and possibility. Fulk’s designs encourage the wearer to
step outside herself, contemplate, reflect, and discover.
On the following pages, Fulk models her collection from Voltage:
Fashion Amplified 2007. Makeup-smeared fabric and abstract
construction follow the revolution of the ‘50s idealized woman.
Drab, outdated colors and textures are challenged by futuristic
shapes and blinding white. Fulk’s designs will continue to provoke
on April 28, when her fashion event, Charmageddon, materializes
at Susan Hensel Gallery.
Select pieces available at Cliché in Minneapolis.

Jack Kerouac hated the rules. Despite his
athleticism, he was kicked off the Columbia
football team for fighting with his coach,
and discharged from the U.S. Navy for his
“indifferent disposition.” In his writing, he
avoided the period for the ellipse and the
dash. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t conform
to his own style. In 1959, when he made his
appearance on The Tonight Show with host
Steve Allen, Kerouac wore a smart one-button
wool suit while he read On the Road with Allen
accompanying him on piano. His only nod to
the “Beat Generation” was the rumpled collar
of his polo shirt poking out underneath his
jacket. And when it came to avoiding that terse,
inhibited punctuation mark, it wasn’t because
Jack actually hated the period—he just didn’t
have time for it. He controlled his thoughts on
the page in the same way a jazz musician or
a Buddhist monk controls his breathing. There
was a form to what Kerouac called the “holy
contour of life,” he just allowed his life to find
its own.

get the lookWomen of Shatner
Space…the final coiffure. These are the voyages of the
“Women of Shatner.” It’s a Spring/Summer mission: to
explore strange new curls, to seek out new looks and new
creations, to boldly go where no woman has gone before.
Shatner’s women are women of strength, women of
beauty. They are queens, priestesses, warriors, villains,
and heroines.
Shatner women wear bold, beautiful, complicated
formations: galactic, metallic ribbons woven into
topknot braids that wind into interstellar arrangements.
Constellations of globular curls, rolled and fastened with
braids atop the crown, extend down and around the
Vulcan ear. Side ponytails, knotted and pinned, below a
wormhole of braids and knots, adorn the crown. Rope-
like knot braids twist into futuristic side buns. Beam my
updo Scotty!
Coney Island Baby
Great minds think alike. For Kymare’s 2007 Summer
Collection, designer Kim Wormgoor uses organic
shapes and optical art inspired by the modernism of
Scandinavian artists. Similar architectural themes and
innovative concepts exist in “Vivid Manifesto,” Aveda’s
2007 Spring/Summer collection for hair.
Our model, Carol, won’t get lost under the boardwalk
with her playful summer makeup and bold hairstyle. Add
gloss and shine to the skin with MAC Pro Gloss and Blush
Creme. Get Carol’s vibrant eyes by sweeping Beautiful
Iris shadow over the lid and accenting the bottom lash
line. Don’t forget your falsies even at the beach. Wink,
Wink! Like hair, this season’s lips are all about different
textures and a range of colors. If you just can’t choose
one color, wear them all: Beautiful, Oh Baby Lip Gloss,
Flanplastico Lacquer, and Dreamy Lip Glass. All makeup
by MAC.
Don’t forget the SPF! Slather your skin and your hair
with it. To prevent vibrant violet hair color from fading in
the sun, Carol cleanses and hydrates her hair with Aveda
Color Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by
an application of Aveda Color Conserve Sun Protector
from roots to ends.
The strength of Carol’s hairstyle is in the cut. Only
a Mason Pearson brush and a blow dryer are needed
to smooth the shape into place. A quick finish with
Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip creates luster and
definition. Top it off with a flower petal bathing cap that
provides fashion as well as function. Surf’s up!
Off the Road
In the spirit of adventurous, intellectual artists, the iconic
American males portrayed in “Off the Road” exemplify a
return to classic men’s grooming.
Mikal Arnold’s James Dean pomp is styled with Aveda
Men Pure-formance Grooming Clay that enhances his
signature quiff in front, creating medium hold and
separation throughout.
Trenton Raygor’s hair is worn shorter in back and
longer in front for a boyish 1940’s shape, and is finished
with Aveda Men Pure-formance Grooming Cream for
flexibility and light control.
Croix Clayton wears a classic taper styled with Aveda
Men Pure-formance Pomade, for style control and
brilliant shine on his ultra short sides and top.
Matty Schindler’s hair tapers in back and gets
progressively longer through the front. A simple air dry
and moderate amount of Aveda Men Pure-formance
Liquid Pomade draws out his natural Ginsberg wave.
Gabe Barnett’s Dylan-esque shag needs nothing more
than a little Aveda Men
Pure-formance Pomade to create height on top and
random texture throughout.
