EDITor’S lETTEr

We be illing on them suckas who be ducking us! Basically. Yup, its that time of the year and we’re here to make one thing clear—competitors, you should not stand near. At least when our product is so incredibly awesome, real, and RAW. See you can’t talk about it (the streets), if you don’t live it. Here Angeles whether it’s in the streets or about the streets, our team has lived and seen it first hand. Angeles Magazine is here to provide you with the first hand knowledge of what is going on in the streets. We cover and bring you a wide range of street topics. Whether it be about the massive street art movement and the artists’ behind the eye popping media stopping works (whether legal or illegal), to the strong presence of the underground hip hop culture and movement. We also cover politics and social events/problems (an informed citizen is a happy citizen—well not all the time). We even cover the most unthinkable. We have street coverage to inform you about the massive gang culture present in LA. Because again this is Los Angeles, the City of Angels. Or as some like to call it, “Lost Angeles.” Whether if your an Angel or a Lost Angel, you will love this magazine. From the people, for the people.

— Peace. Angel Palma

The Worldand Style of

“Dear contemporaries, don’t you realise how dif-ferent we are? Although I depict you as equals and like the ancients you never change.” - Piero Fornasetti

Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti (1913–1988) transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring

his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he created a wide range of works, including idealized architec-tural fantasy drawings, book designs, and provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury liner Andrea Doria. Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, Fornasetti was rediscov-ered in the 1980s and has remained much sought-after by collectors worldwide. Featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is de-signed to be an “artist’s book” that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti’s own approach to design.

The Real West Side StoriesAngelesAngeles

10Love

Reasonsto Fall in

do we really need an excuse.By Kendra Lyon

10. It makes you better-looking.

This is not a joke. Believe it or not, falling in love can really make you look a lot better. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t care about your physi-cal appearance, fall in love and see how you would change. When you’re in love, you will always try to look your very best not just to im-press the one you love but also to feel good about yourself. You feel

conscious about your outfit, your hair and your movements.

Even when you don’t exert any effort on improving your appear-ance, love really brings something magical to its victims. When people are in love, they smile a lot. There is a certain glowing aura that people in love emit that radiates happiness.

9. It makesyou nicer.

How can you be mean to people around you when there is someone who makes every min-ute of your life wonder-ful? When people are in love, we tend to focus on our feelings for that lucky person and pay not much attention to other things, much less to the things that make our blood reach the

boiling point. And be-cause there is someone who makes us smile every time, it is hard to frown and make other people’s lives miser-able. We tend to forget our bitter past and our plans of revenge in the future because what matters is the present.

8. It makes you richer.

It doesn’t mean that you should marry Donald Trump or some other billionaire. Even if you fall in love with an average guy, you have more chances of getting rich. This is because you are more inspired to work and you have another reason to work

hard. Intentionally or unintentionally, you will find yourself doing your job a little less exhaust-ing because the feel-ing of going home to someone you love keeps you through the day in a way that you don’t realize how much work you have done. This

7. It makes you healthier.

When you’re in love, you care about yourself. It’s not just physical appearance, it is your overall well-being including your health. If you used to ignore that migraine you’ve been enduring for years, when you’re in love, there is a high chance that you would call your doctor for an appoint-ment and schedule a check-up. You might even undergo tests that you have been putting

off for the longest time like mammogram and PSA. When you’re in love, there is an intense urge to care for your health because you want to live long, because you have a good reason to. You want to live long not just for yourself but also for that special someone.

If suicidal thoughts enter your mind all the time, you will forget about them altogether

when you fall in love. You have a reason to live now and you know how your self-destruc-tion makes him or her feel. And you don’t want him/her to be hurt, especially not by you.

is true. Studies have shown that individuals in long-term commit-ted relationships earn more than those who stay single. So if you want to get rich, fall in love.

6. It makes you mushier.

There’s nothing wrong with being mushy. It only means that you are sentimental and emo-tional. It only means that you care about how other people feel, es-pecially the person you are in love with. If you have always thought that the lines uttered in those romantic mov-ies are stupid, you will

be surprised to find yourself in one, saying those mushy lines. It is alright. There is nothing unmanly about expressing how you feel and letting your significant other know how important he or she is to you. It is not a crime. Being mushy is not a crime.

5. It makes you stronger.Although it can also make you weaker in certain ways, falling in love makes you stron-ger. How? First of all, sex is a good workout. Haha.

Seriously, people in love want and try to be strong for themselves and those we care for. We will do and endure anything to protect the person we love and give them what he or she wants. When we are sick, we want to get better fast so we can enjoy more time with him or her. We become stronger so we can catch them when they fall and lift them when

their down.

Being strong can also be interpreted in an-other way. Some people can take all the pain that love brings just so they don’t lose them. Even when they are hurt by factors rang-ing from differences to third party to family, they choose to stay in the relationship because they are strong enough and they know that it will pass. Love is not easy to let go. If we can keep it, we will. Love is like that. It’s pleasure and pain rolled into one and it takes a lot of strength. Love is not for the weak-hearted.

4. It makes you wiser.

Being in a relationship is not all about sun-shines and rainbows. There are bad, depress-ing moments, too. Al-though it is not a good reason to fall in love, it is not a reason not to, either. In fact, mistakes are essential in love. Each mistake teaches

you something impor-tant. Every time you make a mistake, you learn. And every time you learn, you become wiser. This enables you not to do the same mis-takes again. Being wise means growing up. And it takes grownups to run a relationship.

3. It makes you moreresponsible.

If your life is in disar-ray, you will set ev-erything straight when you’re in love. You will find a good job because you think of your future together. You will take good care of your finances. You will fix your relationship with

your family. You will forget about your un-finished business with your exes. You will even clean your room, which you haven’t done since you hit puberty. When you’re in love, your life develops a sense of direction.

2. It makes you more creative.

When you’re in love, you think of new ways to take your loved one’s breath away. You can-not do things over and over again or you will beth get tired. You will be forced to come up with new, refreshing ways of saying “I love you,” of celebrating anniversaries, of letting him or her know how you feel. In some cases, people find themselves learning or trying to do things new to them like writing songs or doing something embarrass-ing. The funny part is, you don’t complain because you enjoy do-ing it. Weird, but you really do.

Another way of being creative is when he or she asks you where you

have been last night. Yeah, that will really squeeze out all the cre-ative juices in you.

1. It makes you happier.

When you’re in love, you will never find yourself alone. You al-ready have a partner to do things with and it’s not just sex. Yes, sex makes people happy but it’s more than that. Simple activities can become fantastic when you do it with some-one, especially with the one you truly treasure. These things will make you happy and it will show big time. You’ll be surprised that you will see yourself smil-ing and laughing all the freaking damn time. You think about him or her, you smile. You see him/her walking, you smile. You see him/her trip on her toe, you smile. When you’re in love, you always think positive.

TwistAnything but the Ordinary

Angeles 21

Over the years many adjectives have been used to describe Frank Gehry’s creations, including edgy, forward-looking, aston-ishing, and weird. Anything but ordinary, Gehry challenged the mainstream in the

1970s and 1980s when he used everyday materials such as cardboard to make furniture, and chain-link fencing to construct buildings. Collectors sought his whimsical lamps and chairs, and Gehry-designed office buildings and homes were scattered in cities all over the world, but the maverick architect did not achieve real fame until the late 1990s. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, unveiled by Gehry in 1997, made him a celebrity at the age of sixty-eight. Since then, countless urban commis-sions have come Gehry’s way, and he is considered to be one of the most important and innovative architects of the twenty-first century. In October of 2003, the Los Angeles landscape was enhanced by Gehry’s latest triumph, the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic continues its reinvention of the concept of a 21st-century orches-tra under the vibrant leadership of Gustavo Dudamel. Embarking on its 92nd season in 2010/11, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras and is received enthusi-astically by audiences and critics alike. Both at home and abroad, the Philharmonic is leading the

way in innovative programming and redefining the musical experi-ence.

This view is shared by more than one million listeners who experience live performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic each year. The Philharmonic dem-onstrates a breadth and depth of programming unrivaled by other orchestras and cultural institu-

tions, performing or presenting nearly 300 concerts throughout the year at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, a popular summer tradition since 1922. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles also extends far beyond regular symphonic performances in a concert hall, embracing the schools, churches, and neighbor-hood centers of a vastly diverse

community.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent sym-phony orchestra in 1919. The 94 musicians of the new ensemble met for their first rehearsal Mon-day morning, October 13 of that year, under the direction of Walter

Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had brought from the St. Paul (Minne-sota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the orchestra’s premiere perfor-mance before a capacity audience of 2,400 at Trinity Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles. The audi-ence heard Dvořák’s New World Symphony, Liszt’s Les Préludes, the Overture to Weber’s Oberon, and Chabrier’s España. Rothwell remained the orches-tra’s Music Director until his death in 1927. Since then, ten renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933); Otto Klemperer (1933-1939); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (1985-1989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-pres-ent).

Following its opening season in 1919/1920, the orchestra made Philharmonic Auditorium, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Ol-ive, its home for the next 44 years. In 1964, the orchestra moved to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music Center, which was its winter home until its final performances there in May 2003.

In October 2003, the doors to one of the world’s most celebrated venues — the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall — were opened and the Los Angeles Philharmonic took the stage in its new home, which has become known not only as a local cultural landmark, but also as “…a sensational place to hear music... In richness of sound, it has few rivals on the international scene, and in terms of visual drama it may have no rival at all.” (The New Yorker) Praise for both the design and the acoustics of the Hall has been effusive, and the glistening curved steel exterior of the 293,000-square-foot Walt Dis-

into certain artists’ or composers’ work. The Los Angeles Philhar-monic’s commitment to the presentation of music of our time is evident in its subscription concerts, the exhilarating Green Umbrella series, and its extensive commission-ing initiatives. Now in its 29th year, the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, devoted exclusive-ly to performing composi-tions on the cutting edge of the repertoire, attracts leading composers and performers of contempo-rary music.

The Los Angeles Philhar-monic Association expands its cultural offerings by producing concerts featur-ing distinguished artists in recital, jazz, world music, songbook, and visiting
