Sonja Blade has returned to the game.. not as a player.. but a BOSS, not
a pawn but a QUEEN. she “made some corrections, got some connec-
tions and”.. ok.. she wrote a song about it.. wanna hear it? here goes.

Sonja Blade’s insertion into the rap game started at a young age and
was developed from the streets of Brooklyn, NY. Her first big break came
when she teamed up with super producer Dj Clark Kent, who also had
his imprint on another well known and successful Brooklyn rapper, Jay Z.
Sonja, under the guidance of Clark Kent, began to make a serious buzz
and made people take notice.

After appearing on several mixtapes and building her underground buzz

Ms. Blade and Clark Kent went to work on getting Sonja a recording
deal. With long hours and hard work Sonja’s project was finally ready for
the labels to experience what everybody else was talking about. It didn’t
take long for Virgin Records to see what the underground market already
saw.

Signed to Virgin Records Sonja be-
gan to put together a serious album
employing the production skills of Dj
Premier, Just Blaze, Chucky Thomp-
son, Rocwilder, the Neptunes, Dj
Scratch and Featured artists such as
Busta Rhymes, Nate Dogg and Carl
Thomas. Her first single, ‘Look 4 Tha
Name’ produced by Dj Premier was a
smash hit. It introduced Ms. Blade to
the entire world and Dj’s such as Kay
Slay, Dj Absolut, Kid Capri and many
others took notice of the single and
started to give it serious airplay.

2005

tion company had a problem with Vir-
gin.. nulls the deal.. leaves Sonja out..
dayum. talk about stunning.. im sure
that took young Sonja for a loop.. but
she didn’t quit.. legal docs, this, that
and the other thing seemed to stand in
her way.. kinda like Ciara..

2011

Steppin out earlier this year at the
Gwen Stefani NYFW show Sonja was
TIGHT under the lights.. bringing her

Tell me about your journey so far in which is Top of Tha World Entertain- from when i have a song its just music
hiphop ment and .. that’s it. you know instrumental.. ideas come.

Long journey … long journey .. inter-
esting... I was signed with a produc-
tion company back in about 1998 that
company was signed to Virgin records
worked with a lot of famous producers
a lot of artists.. uh. It was interesting
at the time.. my production company
had to get some things straight with
Virgin Records and things didn’t work
out.. so through that time I’ve just been
waiting for things to work themselves
out and now.. I’m back with Ellet Street
Entertainment and my own company
Tell me about your writing, I mean
there’s a lot of skill in what you do and
it comes through in your work.. tell me
about the process.
Well I listen to everybody.. I listen to
Rock and Roll, I listen to Gospel, I
listen to Jazz, I listen to Country and
Western.. everything around me is
inspiration for me so that’s where my
writing comes from.. real life experi-
ences. and i just love to write..even if
i didnt rap.. i always love to write and
um thats where the process comes
you got mcs from all over, down south,
midwest, west coast, uk even japan..
they all come with a distinct swagga..
tell me about Brooklyn swagga..
brooklyn swagga.. brooklyn swagga..
thats an interesting question. nobody
ever asked me that before.. well im
from Brooklyn if you may not know..
that im from BedStuy DoOrDie..
youknowwhatimsayin.. you know how
we do it.. where biggie from where jay
z from.. so that answer your question
right there.. you see the swag..
MAM! 19
Foxy Brown, Lil Kim.. we all got the
swag.
Brooklyn Swag is that.. yameen.. how
we talk thats how we do it.. it aint a
whole lot to it.. it is what it is.. thats the
swagga.. you cant really answer that
you just gotta see it.. you just gotta
see it.
ok.. in the game Brooklyn has been
on top since what.. day one? some
people say yall invented it.. but imma
say Philly invented it..
laughs.. [*did you hear Philly invented
it?*]
thats my version..
we’ll talk.
where do you see NY now.
NY .. it will never die.. i dont care who..
the south.. midwest.. i dont care where
its happenin at now.. overseas NY is ..
you know they say the Bronx created
it.. thats NY.. NY we have our own dis-
tinct language.. our own distinct swag
if you will .. the music its classics that
we dance to each and everyday. it de-
rived from NY and other artists took it
and you know.. they run with it.. every-
body has their moment.. but brooklyn
is where its derived from.. so where’s
brooklyn now? where we’ve always
been.. everybody has thier time ..
music evolves. what comes around
goes around.. i listen to all of it..
south, midwest... like i said i listen to
everything.. but NY.. everybody gives
NY their respect.. no matter where you
go.. i dont care if they want to admit it
or not. they give NY thier respect.. its
like “yo son.. im doin my thing now but
i used to listen to you back in the day”
its always NY.. i dont care who want to
admit it or not.. thats it..
tell me about “No Quitta”
No Quitta, that song is.. it just came
about.. i didnt even write the title No
Quitta.. it was so inspiring.. i heard
it and said.. you know what.. i gotta
put some words to this beat.. the
music spoke to me.. it told me what
to write..   No Quitta’s about me not
giving up, not giving up on myself and
people who gave up on me.. i still
believed in myself.. like i said in the
MAM! 20
song.. “things may not have panned
out, but im still here, still doing it, still
have talent, people want to hear me,
people want to see me. im here.. i cant
give up.. i cant quit. like my lyrics say
in the song.. “now i got connections,
made some corrections” that’s it..
i had to get some things straight, now
im back.. can’t quit. “Dream is but a
Dream if you dont find a way to fight..
lost inside the dark but you can see a
glimpse of light .. it feels like a strug-
gle, its been so long since i’ve been
down this road.
what do you see in the future..
i see myself in a better position than
i am now.. more successful. i have
some artists that i am working with, my
own label up and running, a business
partner ..
ok.. you graduated huh?
i guess you could say that.. i got on
my cap and gown right now..
what do you think of the state of
hiphop female
state of hiphop in general is an excit-
ing time.. for me.. there are alot of
different types of hiphop.. you got
the country.. the dance and still the
hardcore..
females.. to me its almost non ex-
istant.. we had to fight for our place
in it.. but once we got in it.. just tryna
keep up with the males.. i think the
foxy browns, the kims, the eves, mis-
sy.. they were so successful they are
doing other things.. they dont really
have to be out right now. it still some
females out there that are talented and
still waiting to be heard.
for somebody to re-open the door
again.. and i think Nicky is the one
who is making that happen.. i think
she is adorable.. and i think she is
doing exactly what she is supposed to
do.. this is her niche, this is her brand,
and people are excited by it.. so i dont
hate on her.. i congratulate her.. its
allowing.. its opening the doors for
me and everybody else out there.. but
females are always gonna try to see
who is on top its competitive.. its not
for me personally not a war.. but who
is the best.. nobody wants to be on the
bottom..
well you’ve taken a stance as being
the Anti-Barbie. can you tell me about
that..
anti-barbie? lol. listen im from Brook-
lyn, im not a really prissy girl.. im a
very strong woman, black, african
american at that. i’ve never owned a
barbie doll in my life.. i dont hate white
people but.. i aint really seen too many
black barbie dolls out there so to me
i cant really identify with that. uhm,
im everything that she’s not. i write
my own music, i own my own label,
i write for people, everything on me
is natural.. aint nothin been made on
me.. so whatever God gave me thats
what im gonna work with and im not
really animated like that so that’s to
me.. Anti-Barbie..
so you are coming with skills, micro-
phone dexterity.
basic basic basic.. where people can
understand me.. i think when you are
at a loss for words you gotta be ani-
mated and make up stuff in between..
im comin.. im tangible, im real, my skill
has always been there.. i mean if you
like me you like me if you dont you
dont.. im not a fame whore..or any-
thing like that.. so im real.. im tangible
and thats because where i grew up
from.. i have to stay grounded
thank you Sonja

The Little Channel That Could Makes
It Big In NYC
byline Ann Brown
There are big things going on at The
Africa Channel. And things are about
to get bigger, announces Bob Reid,
EVP and General Manager at The
Africa Channel.
The Africa Channel recently launched
in high definition for Time Warner´s
New York City users. The Africa
Channel HD is now available on Chan-
nel 787, in addition to Channel 87 in
SD. The HD launch of the network in-
cludes over one million digital custom-
ers in four NYC boroughs (Manhattan,
Queens, Staten Island and western
Brooklyn) as well as Mt. Vernon,
Hudson Valley (Orange, Sullivan,
Ulster Counties and parts of Duchess,
Greene and Delaware Counties) and
in New Jersey in Bergen and Hudson
Counties.
“The HD launch in New York is a
significant milestone for The Africa
Channel as it demonstrates that Time
Warner is confident in the value of the
high quality entertainment available
on a network. We are the only network
that showcases the incredible beauty
MAM! 26
and culture of Africa,” Reid points out.
“It also demonstrates the faith Time
Warner has in our future.”
The Africa Channel is a showcase
for what many consider the African
Continent's most outstanding English
language television series, specials,
documentaries feature films, music,
event specials, biographies, soap
operas, current business analysis,
cultural and historical programs. “Our
shows reflect the people of Africa, their
incredible stories, their daily lives, mu-
sic and art, as well as their successes,
celebrations and challenges,” explains
Reid. “This is something you see no
where else on television - Africa from
an African point of view.”
And for Black History month, they
had even more special programming.
They aired Africa First: Behind the
Cameras, a behind-the-scenes special
on Focus Features' unique Africa
First initiative, which awards $10,000
production grants each year to African
writer/directors. They also aired the
short film Saint Louis Blues, which
was produced under the Africa First
program banner. Additionally, the net-
work aired three more shorts produced
under the Africa First banner, including
The Abyss Boys, Pumzi [Breath]and
The Tunnel.The network also initi-
ated a yearlong “Know Your Heritage
Campaign” featuring a series of sixty
second vignettes using DNA testing to
reveal the African countries of origin
for celebrities and other notables.
Continues Reid, “Our mission? To
open up a daily window into modern
African life and, in the process, help
demystify Africa for American viewers.”
For the first time on U.S. television,
American audiences can connect with
an aspect of Africa that has eluded
them until now - urban Africa, coming
to life on a daily basis and presented
in a way that American TV viewers can
understand and appreciate the culture.
Although all the shows will not be in
HD, there is plenty of programming—
new and old---to entertain all viewers.
Such as, the new series Filmmak-
ers, which focuses on movie making
in Africa; Behind the Words, which
profiles the Continent’s literary giants;
and Africa Laughs, which features
stand-up comedians. In addition ,
there are documentaries such as
Isaiah Washington’s Passport to Sierra
Leone, which chronicles the journey of
actor/philanthropist Isaiah Washington
who became the first African American
to be given dual citizenship based
on DNA confirmation of his ancestry.
Moreover, the network also airs Afri-
can Presidents, a series of programs
featuring exclusive interviews and
coverage of African Heads of State, as
well as specials that spotlight African
art, sports and music.
Among the most popular shows
include a range of English language
programming of news and informa-
tion, travel and lifestyle, music, soap
operas, dramatic series, talk shows,
reality, biographies, current business
analysis, feature films and special
events, as well as cultural and histori-
cal programs that reflect the people of
Africa. Some of the Network’s highly
acclaimed series include the travel se-
ries Africa Within and Studio 53; reality
series Project Fame Africa and All You
Need is Love; the popular dramatic
series Jacob’s Cross, Generations and
Isidingo. The daily music-series, Afri-
ca Music and the groundbreaking mu-
sic and interview series, Soundtracks
at REDKiva and Africa SoundStage
have become proven hits. Addition-
ally, the network offers documentaries
and informational programming such
as The Soul of the Ashanti; a two-hour
special covering President Obama’s
visit to Ghana, Akwaaba! Ghana
Welcomes The Obamas; a profile of
Senegalese-American hip-hop and
R&B music artist, Akon; and exclusive
coverage of the Pan African Film and
Arts Festival.
The Africa Channel has been part of
the Time Warner New York lineup for
some time, the big news is the HD
programming the mega media giant
will now carry for network.
To the critics who claim that The Africa
Channel is mostly white-controlled and
focuses too much attention on South
Africa, Reid says the allegations are
just not true. “Our top executives and
founder are black and while we do
have South African programming, it is
just some of the shows we have. We
have shows from across the Conti-
nent. We are preparing even more
original programming on our own and
actually hope to return to Africa to
broadcast there are well.”
He adds, “We are the first channel
to celebrate the daily successes,
celebrations and challenges of peo-
ple living throughout Africa, all via a
general entertainment network. The
English-language programming from
the Continent is commercially sup-
ported and seen on cable systems in
Los Angeles; Houston and Ft. Worth,
Texas; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta
and Macon, Georgia; Detroit, Michi-
gan; New Orleans, Baton Rouge and
Lafayette, Louisiana; Hampton Roads,
Virginia; Inland Empire, California;
Memphis, Tennessee; the Bahamas,
Trinidad, Jamaica and Barbados in the
Caribbean; and on SKY in the United
Kingdom.”
The Africa Channel was founded by
longtime television industry execu-
tives James Makawa, Jacob Arback
and Richard Hammer, along with
initial partners such as former United
Nations Ambassador Andrew Young
and his company, Goodworks Interna-
tional; NBA stars Dikembe Mutombo
and Theo Ratliff. The family owned
fund Williams Group Holdings is the
network’s largest single investor.
The Africa Channel is prepared, as
Obama recently proclaimed in his
State of the Union speech, “We do big
things.” LUSH FRESH HANDMADE

 its about time Barbie got a
make-over.. this time she’s from
Brooklyn!

MAM! 33
Calls to Young Money were left unanswered so we called our boy DJ Wiki.. here’s what he had to say
about Barbie.

Onika Tanya Maraj (born December 8, 1984), better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj (pro-
nounced [miˈnaʒ]), is a Trinidadian hip hop and R&B recording artist and songwriter.She first saw
fame when she signed a record deal with Young Money Entertainment and then later Cash Money
Records. She has successfully released her debut album, which charted at number-one on the Bill-
board 200 albums chart.
In August 2009, Minaj signed to Young Money Entertainment with distribution from Universal Motown.
In Minaj’s early career, she released three mixtapes, Playtime Is Over, Sucka Free, and Beam Me
Up Scotty. Minaj was discovered by fellow American rapper Lil Wayne and, after the three mixtapes,
Minaj signed a deal with Young Money Entertainment. After signing the deal, Minaj began working
on her debut album, titled Pink Friday, which charted at number-two on the US Billboard 200, kept off
the top spot by Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Minaj became the first artist ever
to have seven songs within the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Her second single, “Your Love”,
reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, making Minaj the first female artist to top
the chart unaccompanied since 2002. Minaj became the first female artist to be included on MTV’s
Annual Hottest MC List. One month after the release of Pink Friday, Minaj’s album gained a Platinum
certification in the United States. Minaj is known for collaborating with numerous artists and guest
raps on many popular singles.
Alter egos
While growing up Minaj was surrounded by constant trouble and fighting between her parents. To
escape her real life problems she would create characters and live her life through them. In an
interview with New York she stated, “[t]o get away from all their fighting, I would imagine being a new
person. “Cookie” was my first identity—that stayed with me for a while. I went on to “Harajuku Bar-
bie”, then “Nicki Minaj”. Fantasy was my reality.”
For her debut album, Minaj created another alter-ego named “Roman Zolanski”. She stated that in
songs like “Bottoms Up” with Trey Songz it is not Minaj rapping, but instead Roman Zolanski, and
claims that Roman is her “twin sister”. She claims that she was born inside her, out of rage, and be-
comes her when she is angry. She has also said ‘She is a demon inside her’. Roman has been com-
pared to Eminem’s alter ego Slim Shady, and on the song “Roman’s Revenge” from Pink Friday,
Minaj and Eminem collaborate, using these alter egos. Roman also has a “mother” called “Mar-
tha Zolanski”, who also appeared on the song Roman’s Revenge, with a British accent. Martha
appears in the video for “Moment 4 Life” where she appears to be Minaj’s magical Godmother.
In songs such as “All I Do Is Win (Remix)” it is Minaj rapping. Minaj stated that on her debut
album, fans will get to “meet” Nicki, Roman and Onika.
On November 18, 2010 Minaj assumed a different alter-ego named “Nicki Teresa”.
Wearing a colorful scarf around her head, she went around as the “healer to her fans”
as she visited them at The Garden of Dreams Foundation at Fuse studios in New
York City. Minaj made an appearance on Lopez Tonight on December 6, 2010
and presented a different alter-ego for the Spanish-inspired occasion, named
“Rosa” (pronounced Rrrrrosa).
Influences
Minaj has stated that artists who have influenced her musical style in-
clude Lil Wayne, Lauryn Hill, Jadakiss, Natasha Bedingfield, Foxy
Brown, and Missy Elliott.

PhillyCAM is the non-profit designated
by the City of Philadelphia to
operate its public access television
network.
On October 23, 2009 PhillyCAM start-
ed cablecasting on Comcast 66/966
and Verizon 29/30. This is a landmark
achievement in a city that fought for 27
years to finally get its public access
television.
Our Mission
The mission of the PhillyCAM is to
provide Philadelphia residents and
organizations with the opportunity to
communicate with each other through
the creation and distribution of non-
commercial media.=A0 PhillyCAM
provides residents and community
organizations access to media-making
tools, training and opportunities for
interaction between diverse communi-
ties.
The purpose and intent of the PhillyC-
AM is to operate a vibrant community
media center in Philadelphia which is
accessible and welcoming to all
residents and provides a valuable
means for people to gain access to
and training in the use of new digital
media technologies, including comput-
ers, Internet, radio, video, and televi-
sion, that enable people to address
the diverse social and cultural needs
of their communities. All Philadelphi-
MAMi Magazine TV - Mix Video Show is seen on PhillyCam Sundays at 11:30pm
ans, not just the influential, will have
the opportunity to make and watch
programs about themselves, their
lives, and interests, as well as utilize
other new technologies.
What’s Public Access?
Public access is a system on cable
television, which provides people with
access to equipment and training to
make and broadcast their own
non-commercial programs, publicize
their activities or get their message out
without having to buy airtime.
The public receives access to these
facilities as compensation from the
cable companies that are given the
right to do business within a given
municipality, including the use of public
rights of way (sidewalks,
telephone poles, etc.). This compensa-
tion is in the form of franchise fees
that are paid to the City and an agree-
ment to provide facilities and
equipment and channel capacity for
public access.
Public access cable is not the same as
public broadcasting. Public or
community access programming and
content production is open to every-
one in the community on a typically
first come first served basis. Public
access serves as an “electronic park”
where people from all different types of
communities have the opportunity to
share their views and information on
just about anything “arts and culture,
sports, cooking, religion, education,
local issues, national news, health
concerns” the list is only limited by the
people’s imagination.
Other Highlights
* PhillyCAM is offering classes in Digi-
tal Video Production and Final Cut
Pro Editing. Classes are $75 per ses-
sion.
* In August 2011, PhillyCAM will open
its new community media center in
Center City (699 Ranstead Street).
* The next Philly Member Orientation
is April 12 at 6:30pm. This session is
free to the public and provides an op-
portunity for the community to learn
all about PhillyCAM.

porting PhillyCAM, they can become a

HYDRATION
The key to supple, youthful skin depends on moisturizers to
keep it hydrated. Different skin types tend to benefit best
PHOTOGRAPHER ERNEST COLLINS
from certain moisturizing products that are created with spe-
MAKE-UP ARTIST DELISA LEE
cific skin types in mind. Dry skin tends to benefit best with a
STYLIST J.LYNTRELL
cream base emollient moisturizer. Oily skin can benefit from
MODEL-MEGAN LEWIS -AGENCY
a water based moisturizer. For skin that is excessively oily,

a gentle and oil free moisturizer works great. Normal skin

works best with a light weight moisturizer that has SPF 15.

FOUNDATION
Choosing the right foundation is fundamental to achiev-
ing beautiful, radiant skin. Foundations come in various
forms and finishes, tinted moisturizers are for women
with minimal flaws, it leaves a dewy finish. Liquid
foundation offers light to medium coverage, it can range
from oil free to hydrating finishes. Cream foundations
range from stick to compact forms.

Choosing the right shade of foundation is essential

to creating a flawless face. Most women have uneven
discoloration to the skin and one to two color might be
needed to create the perfect look.

MAM! 75
 To create this seasons hottest look,
MakeUp Artist Delisa Lee set the stage by
using Mac Pro Longwear SPF 10 founda-
tion. Completed by Beach loose powder
buffed onto the kin by NARS. Peony
blush by Bobby Brown was blended on
the cheeks. On the Eyes, Daphe matte
eyeshadow on the lids, Strade eyeshadow
on the brow bone by NARS. Smolder
Eyeliner was used to rim around the
lashline, follwed with #43 lashes all from
MAC. For a muted berry lip, #18 Noir
Laque by Yves Saint Laurent was used.

MAM! 76
POWDER
Powders serve various purposes. Loose powder is used to set cream base
foundations. Pressed powders are great for touching up oily parts of the
face, such as the T-zone. Illuminating powders are beautiful to put on the
high points of face where the Sun would naturally hit your face. When ap-
plying powder, be careful not to be heavy handed or else it can look ashy.

 Assets to Protect? Read this!
Crashing the Dollar:
Special Offer by Pat Boone
Pat Boone

What’s so special about this book?

TEN YEARS AGO I told Americans to read ONE book
to understand the BIGGEST financial story of the new
millennium: Rediscovering GOLD in the 21st Century
by Swiss America Chairman Craig R. Smith.
Rediscovering GOLD explained in layman terms why a
new, generational bull market in precious metals had
just begun. Those who followed Mr . Smith’s advice
protected their life savings during the recent
devastating economic downturns.
TODAY, I am telling you to read ANOTHER book:
Crashing the Dollar: How to Survive a
Global Currency Collapse, to understand
why our paper money is about to turn into ashes.
Mr. Smith provides innovative strategies to renew
America’s economy and, if we prepare wisely, to
save ourselves and our families from the economic
death spiral of extreme debt and unpopular
government policies we now face.
To help prepare Americans for the dollar’s
demise right now, I have a very special offer:
Mr. Smith and I want to get a FREE copy of Crashing the Dollar
into the hands of every American with assets to protect. Call 1-888-669-0179
and tell them you want the “Special Pat Boone Book Offer.”

Photography has become an intrinsic
part of my life and I can’t imagine
a day when I will ever stop taking
images. Once you start, you never
stop. My introduction to photography
started with an old Minolta 35mm
film camera while attending school
as a Freshman at Rowan University
in 1998. I had some long nights in
the darkroom developing black &
white photos of anything that was
interesting to me. In addition, I also
received a degree in Graphic Design.
Website: http://kamilekuntzphotography.carbonmade.com/
I believe that photography is the best
medium for me to express my ideas
to the world, and making beautiful
photographs that people enjoy is a
reward that is worthwhile. When I
started my photography experience, I
began photographing landscapes and
environments while also beginning
as a wedding photographer. About
3 years later, fashion and beauty
photography became the major
source of interest and a new driving
passion. With past experience behind
the camera, it was easier to focus on
the creative aspects of fashion and
beauty projects. While still keeping my
spectrum in photography as broad as I
can by touching fine art.

For Spring 2011 French Connection
continues to question what it means to
be a Man or a Woman. Our “You are
Man?” and “You are Woman?” cam-
paign follows on from the two award
winning 2010 campaigns featuring
French Connections’ “The Man” and
“The Woman”. This season we have
decided to challenge our customers
in the way they consider themselves.
Moving forward from the idealized im-
age of Man and Woman we have cre-
ated scenarios that confront the viewer
with the question “You are Man?” and
“You are Woman?”.
For two weeks, French Connection
set up THE MAN CAMP on the Isle of
Malta and THE WOMAN CAMP on the
Isle of Gozo and dared our ambas-
sadors to discover what it meant to be
a Man or Woman in the 21st century.
Exploring ideas of how gender and so-
ciety dictate how we are meant to act,
we asked them to perform a series
of tasks (ride a horse in the sea, look
spectacular atop an inflatable animal,
dance on piano keys, wrestle a biker,
the list goes on) – all of these were
captured on film to help define wheth-
er “You are Man?” Or “You are Wom-
an?”. We also like to think it pushed
the boundaries of fashion photography
and was pretty fun too.
We scoured Europe to find ambas-
sadors that represented their sex with
the joie de vivre, sophistication and ir-
reverence of French Connection. Peo-
ple who knew their own style, weren’t
faddish and were up for experiment-
ing. We think we did quite well.
Our Ambassadors of Manhood:
Bertrand Le Pluard We found Bert
on the streets of Paris, he described
himself: “I’m an image maker,
illiterate diarist, suburban freak,
99cents oracle, hippie whore, style
remedy, digitalcrash, socialized
hermit and ego shaman...” We think
that says it all. Daniel Hills Dan was
discovered lurking on the streets
of London. He is a surfer, famed
polymath and a musician in a band
MAM! 90
called Friendship. Paul Hamy A
French-American Artist based in
Paris. Paul was one of the founders
of the French Arts collective Pain-
O-Chokolat and when he finds time
models for Marc Jacobs and Yves
Saint Laurent.
Our Ambassadors of Womanhood:
Ludmilla Dom Perigon We found
Ludmilla in Paris. She loves horses
(which are sadly in scant supply in
the city of light) and she can also
play the piano with her feet. Clever
girl. Simone Van Werkhoven Has
an amazing name. Simone is ach-
ingly hip and hails from Holland
but lives around the corner from
Ludmilla in Paris. Eden Clarke
Eden grew up on the glamorous Isle
of White and occasionally appears
on the cover of Vogue. Polina Sova
Loves to speak Norwegian mingled
with Russian as she graffiti’s in East
London. She learnt to roller-skate
powered by fire extinguishers for
our short films.
French Connection worked again
with photography and film collec-
tive Blinkk, 192 Productions and
the creative team at Fallon. The
team created over 60 original shots
and 6 short films that capture the
spirit of Femininity and Masculin-
ity.
To compliment the campaign
French Connection will be launch-
ing a global Film competition in
March 2011 to discover if people
really are Man and WOMAN
enough? The films will be broadcast
throughout the world commencing
April 1st 2011.

 Stretches of silk capture brilliant polarizations of color from
artisans’ prismatic imaginations. The dance of paisley, peacock,
figure, and leaf motifs along the four-yard to six-yard sari border
finish into the pallu, a vigorous one-yard culmination of patterns
representing the beauty of the sari and, subsequently, the wearer.

MAM! 93
 Today’s sari threads emulate the opulence of India’s recent
history when, less than a century ago, India’s royalty and
elite wore garments woven with authentic gold thread
and precious jewels. Generations later, silk saris continue
to don guests for festive occasions, and elaborate hand-
made jewelry of genuine and simulated gold and gems are
added to match. Hindus often wear bindis which are placed
between the brows; for modern convenience and fashion,
bindis take the form of stickers decorated with colorful
rhinestones and design.

MAM! 94
Beyond the visual, meaning behind Indian dress is more
layered than the sari. The bindi denotes the point of meditative
introspection, a person’s inner ‘third’ eye. Vermillion pervades
Indian design and décor as it represents veracity and relays
auspiciousness. A bride’s dress is traditionally red, and the depth
of her henna’s red color indicates her providence in marriage.
Motifs allude to national treasures as the peacock is India’s
national bird, paisley corresponds with mangoes, and figures and
leaves indicate people’s regard for nature.

MAM! 95
MAM! 96
 Depending on the angle, a viewer can interpret the color of
the lavender sari as it is woven with pink and purple threads,
but no interpretation can diminish the symbolic and aesthetic
exquisiteness a sari brings to bodies of all sizes, shapes, and color.

Eindhoven, Netherlands – Vogel’s®
www.vogels.com www.ipadonthewall.
com/usa, the European market leader
in Audio/Video & TV mounting solu-
tions, announced today the world-wide
launch of the new patented RingO®
universal tablet mounting system for
iPad 2, iPad, and Galaxy Tab, with
new versions for additional tablets
available at a later date. The RingO
system allows users to mount their
tablet onto virtually any surface: wall,
car, tile, boat, to enjoy watching mov-
ies, reading the latest news, or using
any app, hands free.
Snap On & Off to Quickly Move iPad 2
from One Location to Next
MAM! 90
RingO’s key feature is its simplicity –
its modular design lets users quickly
snap the RingO Cover onto a tablet,
which then can be clicked securely
onto a variety of RingO mounts: Wall
Mount, Car Mount, Flexible Mount
and others. Just quickly squeeze the
mount clips to release the iPad from
the mount, click quickly onto the next
Mount, and your tablet is ready to use
wherever it’s needed.
RingO to Support a Range of Major
Tablets
Introduced in Europe at IFA in Berlin
on September 2010, under the name
Mount & Cover, Vogel’s launched the
mounting system for original iPad in
the U.S. at Macworld Expo in San
Francisco, January 2011, under the
new RingO trademarked name, which
better captures the essence of the
circular mounting design. Albert Zee-
man, VP Innovations at Vogel’s, said:
“We simply needed a better name for
our patented system. Mount & Cover
was focused on the original iPad,
while RingO will support a range of
major tablets. It is our expectation that
tablet and accessory manufacturers
will be excited by the potential, and will
seek to license RingO for incorpora-
tion into their products.”
RingO for iPad 2 and other tablets
will be available internationally in late
April from major retailers and Apple
Premium Resellers, priced at: $69.99
for the Starter Pack and $99.99 for the
Car Pack. For more information, see

The 2012 Hummer H4 is one of the specialized brands of cars that are slated to be launched in the market in early
2012. The car is manufactured by the Hummer Division of the well known automobile giant General Motors and
seems that it will enjoy a good market in the long run.

Extreme off-road capabilities. As anyone who has a serious off-road can attest, has done, is the size of your op-
ponent on the track, so that a smaller, but still Hummer off-road-ready, perhaps in the HX concept (see below)
it makes perfect sense. The HX gives us a good insight into the upcoming H4 and if you show this new entry
off-road equipment of the car, which is a strong addition to the lineup. The HX-sport full-time four-wheel drive (of
course) with locking front and rear differentials, 35-inch tires, a 3.6-liter direct-injection V-6, and an electronic stabi-
lizer separated on non – that unmistakable blocky styling.

The interior of the 2012 Hummer H4 will be characterized by more leg and seating space, bigger doors and rear
portion and so on. The 35 inch tires will also enhance the grip and help the driver to drive more smoothly on un-
even terrains.

 Good news for anyone dreaming about getting a shiny new Audi for cruising through town, the price of entry has
just come down significantly. There is a catch however, because that mid-engined driving force is you.

The Audi Duo bike was created in collaboration with Portland Oregon bike maker Renovo, where their specialty
is making bikes that use hardwood frames. In addition to looking extra classy, Renovo says that the wood frame
is actually lighter than an aluminum one, and it gives the bike a much more comfortable ride.

The Audi Duo comes in three flavors, the city-centric Duo City and Duo Sport, and a stripped down model for
road racing called the Duo Road. The first two come with 8-speed internal hub gearing, while the Road has a
20-speed racing setup.

They certainly look super stylish, but with prices ranging from $ 6,530 to $7,460 a pop, I’m not sure if I’d feel
comfortable chaining one of those “city” versions to a lamp post while I went to the movies.

Ulysse Nardin is known for his unique timepieces. The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer is now all set to conquer
the world of watchmaking with Alexander the Great Minute Repeater Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts,
unveiled at Baselworld 2011. This collector edition celebrates the most successful leader in the history of the
world by immortalizing him on its limited edition timepiece. The dial depicts Alexander the Great clad in armor and
engaged in battle, including five handcrafted figures in all. Besides the fighting jaquemarts, one of the highlights
of the watch is the movements of the Jaquemarts, which are synchronized with the sound of gongs, moving to
the minutes, quarters and hours. This is the only Jaquemart that moves on the minutes.

The mechanical movements are housed in an 18-karat white gold or rose gold 4N, one-minute tourbillon is also
integrated into the dial. The Westminster has four gongs, each with a different tone (Mi-Do-Re-Sol). The basic
movement features 36 jewels, and all movement parts are decorated, angled and finished by hand. The watch
features a polycrystalline diamond dial.

“This decorative diamond is the culmination of millions of small, faceted diamond crystals engineered to grow
together to form a continuous diamond layer.”

The diamond surface sparkles with intensity, exhibiting various colors depending on its purity. The watch is water-
resistant to 30 meters. And, only one hundred of these will be available for sale worldwide.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Around the full moon in Libra on the
17th of April, you will be experiencing
your personal growth and optimism
as it will be reflected in your rela-
tions with others. Perhaps a rela-
tive, friend, or business associate will
introduce you to a foreign concept,
idea, or activity. It is also possible that
interactions with others will challenge
your professional aspirations, prompt-
ing you to re-evaluate the strength of
your convictions and the value such
relationships are to your life. May 17th
will see a full moon in Scorpio, reflect-
ing your usage of personal resources,
your level of attachment to material
possessions, and the extent to which
MAM! 146
you allow your wealth to define you.
There will be a need to find balance
between your personal values/con-
victions and those of others. Your
long term goals may not be easy to
define at this time, and this is due to
a subtle shift in direction which will
coincide with a reorientation toward
the groups (friends, etc) you identify
yourself with. The best usage of this
energy if you find yourself foggy or
confused is to surrender your goal
setting/planning at this time and allow
your ideas to float freely. Things will
become clearer to you after this tran-
sit passes in a few days. The Lunar
eclipse on June 15th will expose the
extent to which you need to broaden
your horizons. This energy will last
through September and may include
publishing, work involving travel long
distances or to foreign destinations,
and/or your beliefs and to what extent
they support your needs at this time
in your life.
Taurus (April 20-May20)
The full moon on April 17th will bring
to light the connection between your
spiritual state and the extent to which
it affects the functioning of your
physical body. Decisions are made
under full moons, and it is likely that
decisions at this time will be centered
around letting go of behaviors and
thought patterns that work against
your best efforts, especially with
regard to your usage of personal
finances and income potential. As
you are in this housecleaning phase
you will be reviewing the manner in
which your personal skills/talents are
currently being used and feel pressure
to acknowledge your self worth. Your
relationships with employers may also
come under evaluation as you decide
if your current position allows room
for personal growth. May’s full moon
on the 17th will highlight your relation-
ships and may involve your expecta-
tions of a partner (business or person-
al) or the expectations your partner
has of you. You will need to strike
a balance between what you want
and the the needs of others. You
may feel pressure to define your long
term goals, yet at this time you may
find it easier to allow things to unfold
naturally in their own time. You will
obtain better clarity in time. The lu-
nar eclipse on June 15th will bring into
focus your personal finances as well as
money you owe to others. This could
involve expenses regarding children or
creative pursuits such as vacation pay-
ments. Also possible is that a belief
system or foreign experience initiates
you into a deeper understanding of
yourself and your place in the world.
This phase will have effects through
September.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
April’s Full Moon on the 15th and
the days surrounding, will see you
developing your long term goals and
plans through expanding your connec-
tions with like-minded individuals to
lay a solid foundation for your growth.
Much of your energy will be going
into taking a new approach to group
activities and having the courage to
let your light shine. A key individual
may play an integral role in helping
to make this happen, and a decision
will need to be made. Also of neces-
sity will be the need to re-evaluate to
what extent you are limiting yourself
in the sharing of your personal talents.
The world needs them at this time in
order to solidify your future, and you
are in the process of working with this
knowledge. There may be a person
or event that serves as the light bulb
of change for you at this time. May’s
full moon will fall on May17th this year
and prompt you to examine to what
extent you can be of service to those
in need. There could be a relative or
close friend that requires some emo-
tional, monetary, or spiritual support
at this time. It is also possible that the
rules and regulations of your profes-
sion become unclear and that you
will have to make a decision based on
faith. If this is so, take heart: the Uni-
verse is wise, even if not immediately
apparent. May represents an annual
cycle of clearing out the old to make
space for the new. The Lunar eclipse
on June 15th will bring to light your
relationship needs, with emphasis on
your need to communicate your point
of view to others so they can truly
know you. There may be a circum-
stance with another individual that
propels you to confront your behavior
and shows you what is and isn’t work-
ing for your wellbeing. Ultimately,
all of our relations with others are
opportunities for us to see ourselves
clearly. This phase will span until
September and may involve several of
these transformative experiences with
others.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The full moon on the 17th of April will
see you taking note of your profes-
sional developments and ambitions
since your new year began at your
last birthday. Here is a time when you
stand to receive recognition for your
efforts and will be able to evaluate
the growth that has taken place since
then. It is also a time when you may
wish to explore and experiment with
your career options, as well as look
at the skills you have which could
expand your career potential should
you choose to develop them. There
will be a need to maintain balance
at this time, as the activities of your
private life will also require atten-
tion. You will be just coming out of
a phase of evaluating your relation-
ships with others and their support of
your ambitions and goals. Soon you
will be moving forward on your uphill
climb toward outer success. May’s full
moon on the 17th will be a dynamic
movement requiring decision making
and necessary changes. These chang-
es will involve your long term plans
and the steps you are taking to make
them a reality. It will also involve the
friends, groups, organizations you
associate yourself with to help make
this possible. It will be necessary
for such groups to leave you feeling
inspired with a feeling of joy, vitality,
and hope for the future. This period
may involve some confusion regard-
ing which path to follow, groups to
associate with, or what steps to take.
The best usage of this period will be
to allow events to unfold naturally,
and allow yourself permission to be at
peace with your intention for self bet-
terment. Things will become clearer
after this transit passes, yet also, you
may find that your view has shifted for
the better. The lunar eclipse on June
15th will initiate a 3 month period that
will highlight for you how well you are
functioning on all levels (body/mind/
spirit) and give indication as to what
needs improvement. Letting go of any
unproductive ways of thinking/com-
municating will serve the larger trans-
formation of self you are experiencing
through your relationships, and open
the door to more joy and love.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
April’s full Moon on the 17th will
provide you with greater perspec-
tive on your achievements and life
developments since your last birth-
day. Perhaps you will finalize plans
for a vacation or decide to expand
your knowledge through taking up an
educational venture. As you are in
the process of redefining the way you
communicate with others, especially
those in the workplace, you may find
challenges to initiating your ideas. Try
an approach that is inclusive of every-
one’s ideas, and don’t take offense to
other points of view. May’s full moon
on the 17th will bring perspective on
personal matters and those related
to career. Perhaps a re-evaluation of
your behavior will serve you at this
time, or the need to strike a balance
between the time you invest in your
work and having time to rejuvenate at
home shows itself. A financial mat-
ter may require your attention at this
time. The full moon will highlight any
details that may have been left out
or may be confusing, so be sure to
double check the terms of payment
and repayment agreements. Things
will become clearer after this transit.
The lunar eclipse on June 15th will
highlight your need to experience joy.
This could take the form of embracing
and sharing certain talents that you
MAM! 147
have with the world at large, or the
need to engage in some spontaneous
fun activities. Children may become
prominent at this time, and you may
also see yourself constructing long
term plans for your future. Friends
and groups play an important role in
our future, because to some extent
our friends are a reflection of the
talents and qualities that lie within
us. This movement will have effects
through September. There is a reori-
entation occurring at this time with
regard to the usage of your skills, and
the deep inner work you undertake at
this time to unlock your potential will
be evident to those with whom you
associate.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
April’s full moon (17th) could see you
spending more money than usual.
Perhaps toward renovating your living
space, or updating your wardrobe for
a new professional endeavor. Your
personal values will be highlighted
this month as you begin to look
toward ways to begin planning for
your future. This could also include
relations with someone who will offer
beneficial help in consolidating and
building your resources for your own
personal growth. You may find that
you will have to restrict your spending
or develop a more realistic spend-
ing plan in order to create a surplus
of resources for growth and move-
ment. This will be an opportunity
to learn temperance with regard to
spending and will secure your success
in this area in the future. May’s full
moon (17th) is all about developing a
greater perspective on your life. You
will have an opportunity to share
your personal opinions with relatives
and close friends, but you will also be
challenged to see the bigger picture in
some way. This can manifest in your
encountering some philosophical or
religious belief system that challenges
your old ways of thinking, or it could
be that a person from another walk of
life offers the opportunity to see the
world through different eyes. A rela-
tionship prompt you to make neces-
sary changes within yourself. It could
MAM! 148
be that you are looking for a partner
to fulfill some sense of incomplete-
ness, or it could be that boundary
issues need to be addressed (such as
the gray areas sometimes encoun-
tered when dating). Either way, the
best way to navigate this transit is to
go with the flow and not try to hard
to force clarity. Things will become
more clear as this transit passes. The
full moon eclipse in June (on the
15TH) will bring your personal needs
to the surface. Perhaps you will find
that retiring to your home to rest and
rejuvenate will support your efficiency
in your affairs outside of the home.
It is also possible that you will come
to a conclusion about your ambitions
and resolve to begin the upward climb
toward achieving them. There will be
a need to release old behaviors and
thought patterns that could block your
forward movement. This movement
will last through September. You have
been tapping into your deepest pas-
sions, and these months will propel
you forward into realizing your goals.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
April’s full moon on the 17th will high-
light your commitments. Perhaps you
have a long term plan that will allow
you to express your creativity. It could
also be that a friend, group or associ-
ate asks for a commitment from you
that will impact your daily schedule.
This movement will ultimately provide
you with interactions with others that
will challenge you to develop a clearer
perspective on where you stand. Ulti-
mately, this full moon will give you the
opportunity to experience through
your relations with others the more
appropriate ways of behaving that you
are building into the way you interact
with the world. The full moon in May
on the 17th will highlight you income,
self esteem, and spending. The extent
to which you are attached to your
material possessions will affect the
self-esteem component. The value
of your skills and talents at work or in
your chosen profession may cause you
to ask yourself some questions regard-
ing the right environment for you to
showcase you skills. Physical symp-
toms that appear at this time serve as
indicators of a need to address imbal-
ances on an emotional level. The full
moon eclipse on June 15th brings per-
spective to your way of thinking and
plans for the future. Through Sep-
tember you can expect to see yourself
revising your previous goals and plans
to include more of your experience
since last you set out to achieve them.
As you are in the process of clearing
out old ways of behaving and thinking
that have outgrown their usefulness,
you will find that you have made way
for helpful information to come your
way either through circumstances
or people who come into your life as
“helpers”.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
The full moon in April will highlight
developments in your efforts for self-
improvement. This may manifest as
body work such as exercise and diet
detail, or through initiating a project
at your job which allows you to use
your innate abilities and skills. An
increase in job responsibilities may
also lead to a raise. It is also possible
that you may take on the authorita-
tive role over others and that this will
require you to invest more of your
time and energy into overseeing their
works. It is also likely at this time
that your attention will be on build-
ing stable expectations for the groups
in which you find yourself a part,
and that may place you in the role of
problem solver. Much of your energy
at this time will be required to handle
responsibilities and you should work
to face honestly and squarely with any
self-doubts you may have about your
abilities. Fear is a necessary emotion
to control overextending ourselves,
but it can also be dangerous if we
allow it to prevent us from venturing
out into new frontiers. It’s time to
clear out negative ways of thinking
to make space for new experiences!
May’s full moon on the 17th will bring
commitments into focus. These are
all commitments, including those ex-
pectations placed upon you by others.
The challenge here may be that your
expectations of others may not be
clear, or that their expectation of you
may not be clear. You may experience
a longing to have some time to be free
from restrictions and express yourself
outside of expectations that have
become stale and routine. Acknowl-
dge these feelings and know that as
this transit passes, the opportunity to
have such an experience will present
itself organically. The full moon lunar
eclipse on June 15th will highlight your
income needs and resource manage-
ment through September. This may
also include how you handle debt and
the deeper emotional aspects of your
relationships. Old ways of thinking
and communicating are passing away
within you if you allow them, you will
be challenged now to be honest with
others about your needs and with
yourself.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December
21)
April’s full moon will highlight your
creativity, self-expression, relations
with your inner child, and the sources
of joy in your life. With your ruling
planet, Jupiter, in Aries you could see
yourself naturally wanting to expand
your creativity. Your self esteem is
taking a step toward expansion as you
allow your light to shine more and
more. Here we can see you initiating
one or several of your talents and
bringing them forth into the world to
announce your presence. There could
also be career implications associ-
ated with this newfound self realiza-
tion. Your friendships and groups you
associate with will reflect this new
cycle of movement. There may be
a process of reviewing and editing
the circles with whom you associate
as you are solidifying your forward
movement and accomplishment of
your goals. The full moon on May 17th
will highlight your body’s functioning
in relation to your spiritual and emo-
tional state. Full moon’s are times of
resolution and decisions, so this may
be a good time to take a look at your
bodily diet and exercise needs as well
as any unresolved emotional material
that could have a negative effect on
your body and mind. This is a clearing
out moon, a time to wake up to the
thoughts and behaviors that under-
mine your best efforts. Emotional
habits from the past may resurface at
this time and force you to acknowl-
edge their need to be cleansed so
as to enter a new cycle. Some may
experience this movement as an over-
whelming emotional outburst, others
may experience a longing for some-
one or something. The lunar eclipse
in June 15 will highlight the communi-
cation properties in your relationships
as well as the need for you to assert
yourself and be clear with others
about where you stand. Your usage
of resources will also be evaluated as
you are in the process of transform-
ing your personal values into a more
realistic and useable form. This could
include a change in budget attitudes
or circumstances that force you to be
conservative regarding spending. This
trend will span through September.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The full moon in April on the 17th will
highlight the extent to which you have
solidified your ambitions through ac-
cessing and using the skills and experi-
ence you have cultivated over the last
14 years. This is part of a two year pe-
riod of evaluation and exploration into
your chosen field(s) of expertise. It is
also a time of editing avenues that are
will not prove fruitful for your future.
There is often pressure to succeed or
prove yourself under this transit, how-
ever most recognition at this time will
be for accomplishments and experi-
ences you have completed previously.
This full moon is supported by the de-
velopment of an emotional hope and
optimism that will prove useful as you
open doors to opportunities not avail-
able at other times. The full moon in
May on the 17th will reflect your long
term goals and plans as evidenced by
the development of your self –expres-
sion and ability to access the desires
of your heart. The sun’s position at
this time will provide energy for taking
part in activities that bring joy, and
it is through these activities that you
can gain a sense of the type of groups,
organizations, friends, and causes
you would most benefit from associ-
ating with. It is through connecting
with something larger than ourselves
that we pave our future. If you are
involved in artistic pursuits you could
see a surge in your ability to use
words and symbols creatively at this
time. The lunar eclipse in June on the
15th will reflect developments in your
day-to-day responsibilities such as
work and bodily health maintenance
as well as the necessary inner house-
cleaning of negative thought patterns
and emotions that impact your ability
to function. This moon represents an
annual emotional cleansing, and due
to the power of eclipses this cleansing
will span through September. You are
in the process of transforming how
you interact with the world and at
this time you may find that your body
is communicating to you what be-
haviors and activities are draining or
pulling on your necessary resources.
This wisdom (sometimes evidenced
by physical symptoms) is a beneficial
occurrence empowering you to make
a choice to move toward greater bal-
ance.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
April’s full moon will reflect the
development the tools necessary
to communicate your thoughts and
ideas for the future to others. You
can expect the tempo of your daily
activities to increase as you will have
plenty to do, schedules, deadlines,
etc. Perhaps a partner (business or
personal) at this time helps you to
expand your goals with some inno-
vative advice. It may also be that a
personal assistant helps you to expand
the range of activities you can fit into
the day. Your creative impulse will
be burning bright at this time as this
dynamic creative energy shows you
paths to greater understanding and
efficiency. This understanding will be
based on knowledge gained through
experience. Here too we also see a
clearing out of ways of thinking and
behaving that will limit your forward
movement. This may include letting
go of thoughts, emotions, or people
which are not supportive of your best
MAM! 149
efforts. You have the courage at this
time to experiment and breathe life
into new ideas, so have fun! The full
moon in May (17th) will bring your
focus onto your personal/private life
and the foundations upon which all
your endeavors are built. This can
manifest as dealings with family mem-
bers, or as a focus on emotional habits
and patterns you have developed over
time. These things serve as the basis
from which success or failure is built
in each of our lives. Your professional
life will reflect the inner work you do
at this time of year, and perhaps you
will provide nurturing and support
for someone else at this time who
needs it. There may be some financial
concerns concerning home repairs or
business overhead. It is also possible
that a relative or other close relation-
ship could use some of your charity.
It may only be that some advice and
spiritual support is all that is neces-
sary. A successful navigation of this
energy is to be as clear as possible as
to expectations, which would include
contracts, receipts, etc., and to avoid
setting up a dependent relationship.
The lunar eclipse on June 15 will begin
a three month trend toward solidify-
ing your long term goals. This trend
will last through September and will
involve building upon your achieve-
ments through connecting with other
individuals, groups, or causes that can
give you a wider perspective and op-

portunities for your future. June will
largely present opportunities to expe-
rience joy in your life, and it is through
embracing this experience (via devel-
opment of personal talents or crafts)
that you will attract the groups and
friends who will support your best ef-
forts indicated above.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
The full moon in April on the 17th will
reflect your finances and manage-
ment of your personal resources. You
could have seen an increase in your
income potential this year, and your
job may ask more of you in return
for increased income. This could be
through overtime or multiple job op-
portunities. There may also be some
expenditures for creative pursuits
such as vacation or children. Also,
this full moon will reflect the extent
to which old patterns of behavior limit
your future possibilities, and need to
be released so that growth can occur.
This is likely to make itself evident
through your interactions with others
that force you to examine the motiva-
tions behind your behavior and open
the door to new ways of being. Your
relationship to paying debts, trust
between you and another, and the
deeper emotional aspects of yourself
that arise within relationships are
some of the examples of the energies
being restructured at this time. May’s
algie@mamimedia.com
full moon on the 17th will reflect the
extent to which you can be of service
to others. Perhaps a relative or co-
worker could benefit from a different
perspective only you can bring. It is
also possible that a break away from
your daily schedule could invigorate
you with some much needed fresh air
and life. The challenge at this time
may be that you feel guilty about
leaving responsibilities that others
have come to rely upon you for, yet in
your efforts to be charitable to others
it is also important that you include
yourself as worthy of your own loving
kindness. If you are so moved to take
a small vacation, do so in the spirit of
self-healing and rejuvenation. The
lunar eclipse in June on the 15th sets
off a period of ambitious action and
goal setting that will span through
September. The skills, talents, and
crafts that have made up your profes-

About the Books Editor:

Rahiem Jerome Brooks is the breakout novelist with an overwhelming reservoir

of criminal tales that motivate American denizen to be overprotective with their
personal data, i.e. social security number, pin number, and account number. His
debut street thriller, LAUGH NOW won 2010 African-Americans on the Move
Book Club’s (AAMBC) Book of the Year. And he has pending nominations for two
awards: 2011 AAMBC (Author of the Year and Breakout Author of the Year); and,
2011 CREATIVE EXCELLENCE AWARDS (Most Creative Plot and Best Couple).
His second novel, CON TEST, a mystery is set to release April 11, 2011.

Since 1995, Rahiem Brooks has done hundreds of interviews with con men and
swindlers in county, state and federal prisons; after all, he was locked down in
them, too. He spawned tougher white collar crimes law and the Truncated Act.
Hollywood blockbusters like Oceans Eleven and Italian Job that do not affect
ordinary citizens are nothing more than entertainment. Through fictional accounts
of his former crimes, Rahiem conveys the types of white-collar crimes that ob-
struct the livelihood of identity theft victims, by chronicling how con men acquire
someones identity profile from an avaricious car salesman or medical records

specialist for a small fee, and commences to rob the

national economy to the tune of 14-billion dollars a
year. Rahiem’s novels prompt retailers to thoroughly
scrutinize every transaction, and not to allow a
teenager to use the credit card in the name, Dr. John
Warwick. Sounds absurd, and it is; however, suc-
cessful swindlers like Rahiem has used credit cards
with the last name Romanovski, Wu, and Philippidis.
A glimpse at Rahiem’s press photo evidence, he is
not a Wu.

Rahiem Brooks plans to continue his Film/TV

certificate program at University of California, Los
Angeles, and currently lives in Philadelphia building
his Prodigy Publishing Group brand. Visit his web

 STELLA SIMONA
Caleb Wilson, is a photographer
born in Torrance, California. He is the
owner and executive photographer
of his own photography company
with his longtime partner and wife to
be Stella Simona. They currently are
based out of Los Angeles. Initially
Caleb launched his career in the
industry through the modeling world.
Panamanian/American born, his
exotic physical look continued to book
him work, It was during his time as a
model that he met Stella Simona, a
talented individual herself was making
her own way in the modeling world
at the time. There could be no better
perfect match. After a short period
of being exposed to various aspects
of the industry through modeling, he
began to take particular interest in the
creative elements. Shortly thereafter
with the help of his girlfriend at the
time- now fiancé, the duo opted to
experience life behind the camera. So,
they switched gears, picked up their
first Nikon, and began photographing
each other In due time, the couple
noticed that they both had a knack
for photography so they began
photographing nature, cities, animals
MAM! 154
-- anything that would catch their eye.
This became an outlet and passion
and not soon after a logical and very
lucrative business venture for the
young couple and “Stella Simona
Photography” (named after his partner
and girlfriend) was born.
 Soon after shooting his fiancé a
number of times, he began directing
his attention towards newer subjects,
he set his sights on working with
many a number of aspiring models.
Being exposed to the modeling world
himself, his fiancé gave him the idea
to start delegating advice and direction
to clients who wanted to pursue
modeling. As the word quickly spread
of the two model/photographers who
were suddenly making waves in the
industry with their work. Today Caleb
Wilson and his fiancé Stella Simona
continue their journey following their
passion as well rounded fashion
photographers. Stella Simona
Photography is now a buzzing firm
of budding photographers under the
instruction and leadership of Caleb
and his fiancé. They work with actors,
actresses, musical artist, designers,
agencies models just to name a
few subjects of their lenses. They
orchestrate everything from family
photos to ad campaigns as well as
shooting for the continuously growing
number of fans across the U.S. who
helped catapult them into success.
As he continued to capture the world
thru his lens, people began to take
notice of his work and the work of his
fiancé. For a muse he likes to look at
the world around him for what it is,
capture, and share it with the world.
He expresses through his work his
world and the way he sees it. He sees
most of his subjects in an attractively
balanced binary between hard edge
and soft subject. There is an aura
of elegance, posterity, and a slight
grittiness more like a rough ambiance
that is signature only to Caleb Wilson.
As a photographer he provides a
simple, elegant snapshot of life’s
complexities. He is not one to be
overlooked just “23” he is a forced not
to be underestimated.
