VEGASBIRTHDAY

RIKER & ROCKY

Birthdays are always a bigcelebration with family and

friends at a party or just at yourhouse with a cake, but for Riker

and Rocky they spent theirbirthdays in Vegas. The pair

brought their family along for thecrazy ride of clubs, hotels, and to

check out the venue for theirthree day concert series in theglamorous "Venetian" runningfrom Decemeber 29 to New

Year's Day. We know that therewas and will be more shenanigans

in Vegas for the band and thesephotos clearly tell us that "what

happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"applies.

Real orRumor?

Ryland and Savannah broke up? This rumor has been spreading

around the R5Family for a litt le while and we don?t blame you for wondering if they broke up. As of now we think they are stil l together because they haven?t come forward and told the fandom about their relationship. Yes, they are both doing there own thing, but that doesn?t mean they aren?t stil l together. Right now it?s stil l a rumor and we think they are stil l together because of this evidence.

R5 has a new movie coming out on DVD? I wish this was true but it?s not at all. On Amazon, there was a R5 movie that was coming out this December. The movie called ?R5-The Time is Now? was a documentary movie about their l ives just l ike ?All Day All Night.? With more investigation into this rumor, the movie description and appearance looked fake and was not verif ied by the band or their management. So please, R5 Family, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MOVIE! It is a fake and the person behind it just wants your money.

R5 has a new movie coming out on DVD?

Rumor

RumorFrom @rylandr5 on Instagram

From amazon.com

RumorRydel was caught vaping?

R5?s photographer, Will Von Bolton, was in Vegas with R5 and he captured a girl that looks very similar to Rydel. The mystery blonde girl with pink acrylics made some of the R5Family think it was Rydel smoking a vapor in the streets of Vegas. Of course this is a rumor because Rydel hasn?t made any inference of smoking in the past and she doesn?t even like alcohol let alone smoking. In the photo, the mystery girl looks a litt le older than Rydel hence the small wrinkles. You can also tell that the girl?s nose is dif ferent from Rydel?s. The girl?s nose is more pointed at the end then Rydel?s.

EUROPEin

Europe has always been a

top touring stop for all bands,

but for R5 their dream of

going to Europe has changed

dramatically. The band has

been to Europe three times

ever since the Louder Tour.

Along with playing sold out

shows every night, the band

explores the cities, try

different foods you can’t find

in America and being tourists.

In this photo essay, be

prepared for cuteness, food

and a lot Smiles (pun

intended) across their faces.

Do's and Don't's

on R5 Twitterby Maegan

DOMeet new people!

Social Media is an amazing way for people to meet peoplewith the same interest. The R5 Family is a big fandom on

Twitter and you can see that. Make sure you use it to youradvantage; but remember be use all the Internet safety stuff

you have learned your whole life.

DON'THate on people!

Everybody is human and makes mistakes but be nice. Don't besomeone who says things online that they wouldn't say in

person. You're allowed to have your opinions on, for example.the boys relationships, but that doesn't mean you can tweet

them mean things.

DON'TMake fake accounts for the band.

Don't pretend you are them so you can get follows or people'sinformation. A couple band members have posted in the lastcouple months that there are fake accounts out there. If it is

not verified, its not them!

DOBe careful

You never know who youare talking to online, but

that doesn't mean to stayaway from everyone! Be

cautious when tellingpeople over the internet

personal things aboutyourself, like where youlive or where you work.

MarinaMeet

For Marina, her hobby has

always been art. She first draws

whatever she wishes, scans them

into a computer, then edits them

on Photoshop to create beautiful

works of art. The 18 year old

from Russia loves to hang out

with her friends, draw (of

course) and “drink (lime juice)

and be merry.” To her drawing is

an outlet of creativity and she

doesn’t care if it’s “perfect.”

Marina or marina_r5family from

Instagram has been featured on

the R5Family Art page on

countless times and her page has

been liked by Alexa Dowd once.

With 129 followers, she is the

new upcoming featured artist

this issue of the R5Family

Magazine. Follow her on

Instagram @ marina_r5family

for more art!

How did you learn how to

draw like that? It’s very

different.

I choose the pictures I like

and apply effects after

drawing.

Do you do that on a

computer?

On the phone.

Cool! What apps do you use

if you use any?

Normal photoshop.

If you could sit down a

celebrity and draw them

who would it be?

R5 groups are steep.

What gets you in the mood

to draw?

Listening to music.

Do you have anyone that

inspires you? A friend or a

family member?

My younger brother, he is

invited to try to draw.

Is he good at drawing like

yourself?

Yeah but does not paint

portraits.

What advice do you have

for people who want to learn

how to draw?

Let them try to draw, learn,

try and not to be in despair!

Who is your favorite

member in R5?

Ross, I love them all very

much and would like to go to

their concert.

Why do you love Ross?

He is a very talented, smart,

funny, beautiful and also

loves his fans as they did.

What do you like to do in

your free time?

Drawing.

What is your best piece of

artwork?

There is no such.

Well I think all of your

artwork is amazing! You are

so talented. Do you want a

career in art at all?

Thanks very nice. No I think

there is just a hobby in my

spare time.

What would you like to do

in the future then?

I don’t know, maybe be a

psychologist, but a dream of

mine is to be an actor.

What’s your favorite song

from R5? It can be a new or

old one.

The new album is a

masterpiece. From the old

one I liked I Want U Bad,

Forget About You and all of

the new.

World Choreography Awards Experience

Written By: Lucy The World Choreograhy Awards were held on November 16th. The R5Family were elated that the bassist and DWTS runner up Riker had been given the opportunity to host the event. One lucky girl, @savvyriker, on Twitter, was able to go and see the show as well as meeting the man himself and we have managed to grab a quick interview with her so she could share her experience with us.

L: Hey! So how was it l ike meet ing Riker?

@Savvyriker: It was the best experience of my entire life. I was really nervous at f irst to go up to him and say hi and ask for a picture, but he was so sweet and made me feel comfortable like I was talking to a friend. And I hugged him and said I love him, and we took our picture. He was so kind and thanked me for coming. :)

L: How did you get t ickets?

@Savvyriker: Well, I mentioned it to my mom in the car one day after school not even expecting her to want to go, but she asked me how much tickets were, and when we got home I looked them up on the website and she bought them for us.

L: How did you to meet Riker? Did you just see him on the st reet or was it under a dif ferent circumstance?

@Savvyriker: I was waiting in the lobby before the show because they hadn't begun to let people into the house to their seats yet, and I looked to the left of me and all of R5 was walking towards me because they were going to go out to the red carpet to take pictures there and I caught some of them before and met the rest after they were on the red carpet.

L: Who did you get pictures with?

@Savvyriker: All of R5 and Courtney and Vanni! I saw Ryland a lot, but I never had to opportunity to get a picture with him.

L: Any of the performances that stood out to you?

@Savvyriker: Well, Riker's l itt le jive he did at the beginning was for sure a highlight. The opening piece for the second half of the show which was about anti-bullying was also a stand out. The choreography (done by Jessica Starr) was excellent and creative!

L: Was there anything bad in the awards at al l?

@Savvyriker: Personally, I didn't f ind any faults with the show. It was amazingly well done!
