THE BACHELORETTE S16. E8. | TAYSHIA + JOJO

If you have yet to see episode 8, spoilers are ahead! Tonight on ABC’s The Bachelorette we see that JoJo Fletcher is on tonight’s episode! Chris is taking his kid to college so she will be hosting this week - which is so fun (we also love that she can design a house, flip a house and has an amazing Etsy collab filled with fab decor). The first date is with our Style Director’s dear friend, Franco Lacosta (he has been apart of a number of the dates that involves photography and keeping the memories of that date) who styled the date, photographed it and had pieces from his line, Franco Lacosta NY as well. Tayshia and Zac had a fun date of different outfits wearing eveningwear and bridal. The date continued with their dinner which allowed Zac to share things that he went through from getting a brain tumor, beginning to take medications, getting married and realizing that he went down a dark road that led him to a 4 month stay in rehab. The very rehab facility that he attended, he is now on the board. We liked Zack initially when we first met him so we’re glad that he is continuing on as he will get the rose.

A group date of art and expression is next on the list. The guys will need to sketch a nude couple (although they were thinking that they would be stripping down again). Bennett gets the chance to sit with Tayshia as they are making their artwork. It’s essentially an arts and crafts date that allows them to share more about one another. She ends up hanging out everyone later on in the group date and getting to know them more. We find out more about Ben how he battled an eating disorder which is a topic that people don’t think about as it pertains to men. We have always liked Ben and we think that he’s definitely on Tayshia’s mind for sure! Tayshia gives a rose during the group date to Ben and it’s not just because he got buck naked during the artistic portion, but him sharing his story.

For Tayshia’s one on one date with Eazy, they decide to conquer their fears and go on a ghost hunt on the property that they are staying at. We were so excited to see how they were progressing and learned that she felt that she couldn’t get to where he was and ultimately, sent him home! This was a surprise for sure as we thought that he was definitely in the lead.

WIth Eazy being sent home, JoJo comes in letting the guys know that the cocktail party is still happening, but prior to that she will need to speak with Bennett and Noah to find out about the petty drama that is taking place. JoJo also shares that there is no way that both of them will be able to stay and one will be sent home prior to continuing on.

Prior to the cocktail party, we see Noah and Bennett waiting on Tayshia. After going back and forth, Bennett leaves and comes back with a present for Noah, It’s a series of gifts that refer to the fact that Bennett feels that Noah is young and too immature. When Tayshia arrives, she tries to let them speak but comes to the conclusion that she will not continue with their mutual childish games. We’ll have to wait until next week.

Each night, we’ll tweet The Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns (it will be interesting to see how Hometowns will take place - we’re assuming families will be quarantined) if we were choosing right now! We will also say who we think should take it all.

We also suggest a podcast that we’re newly obsessed with, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour which is hosted by Rachel Lindsay (contestant on The Bachelor Season 21; The Bachelorette Season 13) and co-hosted by Becca Kufrin (contestant on The Bachelor Season 22; The Bachelorette Season 14) to get their feedback!

LAST EPISODE

We cheered on Ben, Ivan and Eazy and added Brendan because Tayshia seemed to have an instant connection with them. We felt that Brendan would propose to her and that she would accept.

WEEK 7 (TAYSHIA’s 3rd)

When it comes to Hometown’s we think that it will be Ben, Brendan, Ivan and Zac - but we still think Zac will find love.

ATHLEISURE MAG | NOV ISSUE #59

In this month’s issue as we continue into the fall, our Nov Issue #59 is covered by one of Athleisure Mag’s favorite EDM artists, SOFI TUKKER. Our virtual cover shoot showcases fun vibrant fashion worn by the duo ranging from varying forms of lounge and WFH looks. We talk to them about their musical background, how they came to working with one another, a number of their achievements and how they have navigated these past few months by continuing to stay connected with their fans and their upcoming econcert that takes place on Dec 4th! This month we interviewed Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst who is also a full time correspondent for EXTRA. We talked about her competing in the pageant system, recently crowning Miss USA 2020 at Graceland earlier this month. In addition we talk about her work in law, her focus on social justice and the importance for empowering women. We’re fans of BRAVO’s Million Dollar Listing franchise and this month, we interviewed Million Dollar Listing LA’s Tracy Tutor to talk about her work in the residential luxury market, being a broker in a competitive industry, how she balances her life as a mom, her focus on fitness and how she empowers women. Just in time for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays, we talked with Chef David Rose, Food Network Personality and Executive Chef of Omaha Steaks. He talks about how we can still celebrate even thought our holidays will look a little different. He provides tips and his go to meals that he enjoys smoking and grilling. We also talk with Chef Ruben Rodriguez in this month’s The Art of the Snack about his latest restaurant, Amigo Nia. He shares his culinary influence, what you can expect when enjoying pickup and delivery as well as his plans as he heads into 2021.

This month, our cover SOFI TUKKER shares their 9PLAYLIST as well as providing a fun video of their 9MIX. Normani shares her favorites and why in our 9LIST STORI3S.

THE BACHELORETTE S16. E7. | TAYSHIA MAKES MOVES

If you have yet to see episode 7, spoilers are ahead! Tonight on ABC’s The Bachelorette we find out that there is a group date for the guys to write a song about Tayshia. The winner will win a one-on-one date. We thought that Kenny (who manages boy bands) would be a shoe in on this one. Now of course, you can manage a band and not be able to sing or write, but we had hope. But it was Ivan who brought it home. Having the opportunity to hear about his Filipino-Black background, how important family is to him, his role as a big brother, how he processed his brother’s incarceration, stepping up to be there for his niece, his thoughts on 2020 in terms of social justice and more - made us really like him so much more! Hearing Tayshia recognize that he gets where she is as she is of Mexican-Black descent and grew up in Orange County, when she tries to respond on how George Floyd and other incidents have impacted her, she is brought to tears. This was such a moment that really made them bond and also grapple with the entire situation. Let’s not forget that she is only the second Bachelorette that is Black and the upcoming Bachelor will be the first Black Bachelor in the franchise which will kick off in early Jan! Needless to say, Ivan gets the rose and enjoys a night of wine, games, and watching home videos.

The next day, a group date (without Noah who ALREADY has a rose - we have to say, that he’s much better without the mustache) meets up with Tayshia, former Bachelorette Becca and previous Bachelor contestant Sydney. The guys in this date are broken up into groups on a scavenger hunt. This activity feels a bit interactive because everyone on the property can hear some of the tasks that they’re doing - but, it’s all in good fun. Although Zack gets the rose from this portion of the group date, you can tell that she is actively looking to make bonds and give each guy a chance.

It seems like a couple of guys got the same idea to visit Tayshia at her room to try and broker some time. Ben was scolded last episode for waiting to connect with her and she let him know that the date was over. Ed apparently went to the wrong door and knocked on Chris’ door. Chris did let him in - but I guess there aren’t any bonus points being made for being able to come to his room and to enjoy a drink with him.

Tayshia has the cocktail party with all the guys and Noah brings up a few things that include the guys questioning him getting the rose. So she talks to the guys to set the record straight and to cancel the remainder of the cocktail party. Needless to say, the tension has hit yet another level as a number of the guys who have yet to talk with her are concerned as well as those that have already secured a rose. So now, we move into the last portion of the night. Tayshia eliminates: Chasen, Joe, Kenny

Each night, we’ll tweet The Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns (it will be interesting to see how Hometowns will take place - we’re assuming families will be quarantined) if we were choosing right now! We will also say who we think should take it all.

We also suggest a podcast that we’re newly obsessed with, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour which is hosted by Rachel Lindsay (contestant on The Bachelor Season 21; The Bachelorette Season 13) and co-hosted by Becca Kufrin (contestant on The Bachelor Season 22; The Bachelorette Season 14) to get their feedback!

LAST EPISODE

We cheered on Kenny, Eazy and Joe and added Brendan because Tayshia seemed to have an instant connection with them. We felt that Kenny would propose to her and that she would accept.

WEEK 7 (TAYSHIA’s 3rd)

When it comes to Hometown’s we think that it will be Brendan and Eazy from last week are in the mix. We’re going to add Ben and Ivan into this group - but we still think Brendan will find love.

THE BACHELORETTE S16. E6. | TAYSHIA'S FIRST ROSE CEREMONY

If you have yet to see episode 6, spoilers are ahead! Tonight on ABC’s The Bachelorette we finally get a full episode of Tayshia as she goes on an array of dates with the guys in the house. Tonight’s dates took us through finding out the kind of guy that she wants through drills, wrestling and an awkward group date! We also see Tayshia settling into her role, squashing conflict and getting in some grooming advice.

Unfortunately, tonight’s episode is not drama free with a double dip date that took place with Noah. Maybe the drama between Ed and Chasen will be directed toward them. Since the rose ceremony took place in the middle of the episode, we’ll have to wait until next week to see who will continue on as they navigate through the journey. Before the next rose ceremony, we will also see a few more dates and we’ll see whether Noah will still be asked on a date as he jumped into a group date in this episode.

This cookbook was created by Chef Christopher Styler and is accompanied by photos shot by NYT food photographer An-drew Scrivani. In addition to the recipes, readers will enjoy fun quotes, insider info, and photos from the show.

You'll be able to cook a number of recipes that are inspired by the show from Italian meals like Clams Fra Diavlo in Sophia's chapter, Southern food such as honey-bourbon glazed carrots in Blanche's section, Scandanavian dishes by Rose such as St. Olaf Friend-ship Cake and of course cheesecakes - a golden favorite. In addition, you'll find drinks, appetizers, salads and mains.

THE DROP WITH STEVE AOKI

We're sure that we have all been listening to a lot more music as we have navigated these past few months as it's a way to transport ourselves to another level even when our environment may look way to familiar at this point. This month's cover of Athleisure Mag is entertainer, DJ, record producer, music executive and entrepreneur Steve Aoki. We've always been fans of the energy that he creates when he's at his shows, his music as well as his focus on putting good into the world with The AOKI FOUNDATION whose primary goal is supporting organizations in the brain science and research areas with a specific focus on regenerative medicine and brain preservation.

In addition to our virtual cover editorial shoot with Steve, we delved into his career, his label DIM MAK, his placement in the Smithsonian Museum, the importance of diversification while being true to the core of business, Neon Future series, Blue: The Color of Noise and his process in music and collaborative projects.

ATHLEISURE MAG: What was the moment when you realized that you wanted to be in the entertainment industry?

STEVE AOKI: Oh man entertainment is such a broad word and some of these answers are probably not going to be straight forward. I got into music when I was a teenager and then that became my whole life blood. Everything I did was involving music in every facet of life. It just became my lifestyle. From the friends I chose, to the food I ate – when I was growing up as a teenager – there was a very specific kind of music that I listened to and everyone was vegetarian. Pretty much everything down to the way that I dressed. It just became – it just became me so. So once I figured out what I wanted to devote my life to, that of course, changes over time. So from when I was a teenager, to college, to post college, young adult – my music style changed and the way that I interpreted music and played music changed as well.

So, I was in bands in the beginning and then I became a DJ and then at that point, in the early 2000’s, I actually started seeing that what I was doing with music was actually making a profit. It was making money. Because up until then, I never looked at music as a profitable enterprise. I never thought about it that way because you give so much to something, if you really care about, it’s not like you care about getting something back. What you get back is the love that it gives you, the feelings that it gives you, the community that it brings to you. As I started DJing, I started realizing that at that point I was DJing small clubs and festivals. That’s really when that major moment came when I was like, “wow I’m on a big stage and I need to not just play records and music” – which some of them were my own and a lot at that time, were of the culture. It then became, how do I engage with these people and entertain these people?

So then that term, “entertainment” came into the fold much later in my career. I would say that it came into the fold when I played Coachella the second time in 2009, not even the first time. It was that moment when I had the budget and I could build out the stage design and I could think about ideas that could present to different parts of my show like stage diving. These stage dives aren’t like a moment where you are methodical, you feel the moment, everyone’s ready for it and you jump into the crowd. There are moments when you think, this is going to engage with people, this is going to be entertaining. I bring my raft out and I start floating on the people, they haven’t seen that yet – that’s entertaining. There’s all these little things that I did with the people like the cakes. It’s an entertaining part of a Steve Aoki show. People remember for the rest of their lives and they’ll say, “40 years ago I saw a Steve Aoki show, I don’t remember the songs but he did cake my friend in the face and it was the best day of her life!" You know what I mean?

AM: Exactly yeah!

SA: I would say 2009 it all came together. Long answer for you!

AM: But that’s a great answer though. It’s all about a progression and just how things come together.

How would you define your musical style?

SA: My musical style is very fluid and of the moment and I like that. I like that like, it’s very much a gut and it’s based on feelings and it’s always going to change. It’s always going to change with my feelings and however way I feel about things or the moment on how I internalize that and not just consume, but how do I create that and how do I create from that?

I think that that’s something that I learned at a young age. When you are inspired or when you absorb something that makes you feel a certain way that it hasn’t made you feel before, like you know the best way for me to engage with that feeling is to create from it. It’s like anything, when you do it over and over again, you just get better at the process of doing it. You might not be great at it in terms of the output, but you get better at the process and that’s what’s more important than the output because the output is entirely subjective. Whether someone likes it or not is not what’s important. That’s another thing that I learned through this whole thing – whether people like my music or my output shouldn’t reflect why I did it and why I liked the process of it. I think about that question and it’s very complex. It’s not just I’m EDM or I’m this. Music is always going to change and it’s based on feelings. If you take down all the identities, all the titles and the genres – if there was no such thing as hip hop or rock or EDM and people were just like, “yo I just like the song.” When you hear a song for the first time and you’re listening to something that is totally different – you shouldn’t be limited to, “this is weird that I like it.” It shouldn’t make you feel weird. If it makes you feel really good, then that’s the whole point of it.

AM: Right and sometimes listening to the same artist and the same song at different points in your life, have a different connection and you can enjoy it. Our co-founder’s great uncle was tenor saxophonist, Joe Henderson and as a kid hearing him, she didn’t respect the fullness of his work.

SA: Yeah.

AM: And then in college, there was a whole other world of understanding that gave those songs meaning.

SA: Right right!

AM: You are someone who has worked with so many artists across so many different genres as a DJ, musician, producer, music exec – what is that process like for you when you’re thinking of collaborating with somebody?

SA: Yeah, when I’m collaborating with different artists, I think that one of the biggest lessons that I have learned is to just go in there and go in with a blank slate. A lot of people want you to come in there with all of your ammunition and basically all of your knowledge base. I’d rather go in there as a student. You know, they want to work with you and at this point in my career, they want to work with you too! I know what I can bring to the table, but it’s almost like when you watch an improv comedy skit, you never know what’s going to happen. Like, “hey someone say an action – running, someone say a sport – wrestling,” and then you kind of take those moments and you just be free on where it will go. That journey is really exciting to come from that place. Of course, your intuition and experience in terms of how and the way you process and supply chain your music and the way you work your music – how you’re going to work all of that – it’s innately going to come out. Sometimes you need the structure, but I prefer having the blank slate for the most part. Unless if you’re on a time crunch – a time crunch is a whole other story. Because then I’m like, “ok I just need to have the hook.” From the hook, I’m able to build you know – I can build that idea. I generally start from there if I can’t get into the studio with the artist. I just need a hook. I just need that part that gets stuck in my head and I will allow that to just linger in my head for a long time and then melodies start coming out in the studio and then I pick the best one. You stay on that melody for a day or two to make sure that it’s the right melody – because sometimes the first time you’ve heard it, it’s the best thing that you have ever heard and then you realize a day later, “oh my God, it’s awful.”

AM: Definitely! What’s that like when you have something that’s already existed. We love Michael Jackson – Thriller (Steve Aoki Midnight Hour Remix) and I also like Steve Aoki & Darren Criss - Crash Into Me cover of Dave Matthews Band. When people already know the songs, do you have a different approach when you’re deconstructing it to make it your own?

SA: Yeah, yeah exactly. When I do remixes of my own tracks – like in the case of Crash Into Me with Darren Criss (Glee, Hollywood, The Assassination of Gianni Versace), I can’t play the original at my own shows because it’s too mellow. When I’m playing an EDM show, I need that energy bursting at the seams and I need that drop to do exactly that. I need the dance floor to be bouncing. It’s all about Darren’s voice, Dave Matthews incredible lyrics, the melody and you combine that with a huge drop that’s signature to my sound and people will just lose their minds you know? You want to push purposeful.

AM: Are there genres that you've yet to do that you want to place the Aoki touch on?

SA: Yes. I mean there is no genre that can limit me. I just – I want to work with every genre and I really want to keep spanning the globe. That’s the other thing to, I travel so much and I’m so fortunate to be able to hear and know and learn about not just what’s happening in different parts of the world that are already popular, but also like what’s brewing. What’s brewing in South Africa, when I was out there, I was listening to some music and it was like, “yo this is the next wave in South Africa.” I want to know about it and I want to meet them. I want to hear the songs and I want to get the vibe, the flow and the dance culture that’s with it. You know, music brings people together so you have to understand what kind of dance moves that they are doing to it. How are they bringing it to their culture. Basically, I just want to keep expanding, keep exploring and it’s limitless. There’s always something new out there.

AM: How did you feel being the first EDM artist to be included in the Smithsonian? How impactful was it to see your gear housed in the same space as DJ Bob Casey’s from the 50's as well as Grand Masterflash’s turntables and now you’re literally being enshrined in such a historical place?

SA: Even when you say that out loud …

AM: It’s mindblowing.

SA: It’s totally wild you know? I remember when I went to the Smithsonian after they asked if we would be part of it. I met with them and did the interview there and walked through it and I felt like I was leaving my body and watching myself and I was like, “holy shit!” I just freaked out. I mean, it’s incredible you know – an incredible feeling. It’s the kind of thing that you’ll say, “wow in 60 years someone is going to say in the 2010’s there was an Asian DJ and there was a thing called EDM and this is what people did when they went out to festivals. And here is a typical show.” It was really cool to think that wow, 60 or 70 years later, someone is going to look at that and say, “that’s cool.” And you know, in that regard to, I’m proud that you know, I’m representing for Asians in that way too.

AM: As someone who is as busy as you are, who does travel so much, why is fitness, health and wellness so important to you?

SA: Oh God, it’s so crucial and integral. You have to train your body and mind to be able to run the marathon over and over again. You can’t just wake up – before you get out and run, you have to stretch. Before you do anything – I mean, I’m stretching constantly and that stretch is mindfulness. And as I do more mindfulness, actively, and I start learning more about myself – my mind, my body rhythms – it’s really fun. When you’re sitting there meditating, some people think, “oh it’s so boring.” When you get into that space, you get into where you’re finally supposed to be – it’s incredible to get into that space where nothing else really matters. That phone call, that schedule – all these things in life – comparing yourself to this person to that person – that thing – the anxieties of the world. If you can calm all of those things, it’s a really wonderful place to learn to get to. I think that it’s not just for someone like me that was running around like I was prior to COVID-19 like I did, I think it’s really helpful for everybody. For me especially, I need to absolutely make sure that I’m on the practice and I just love having it.

AM: Just looking at your portfolio, it’s so expansive between your music, Pizzaoki, your label DIM MAK as well as DIM MAK En Fuego, your clothing lines, companies that you have invested in like Liquid I.V. which we are huge fans of. How important was it for you that regardless of the vertical, to diversify your portfolio beyond your industry that you work in whether it’s creating ventures or investing?

SA: I mean, yeah, in life, I think that diversification is always a positive. Of course, you know it says a lot when you see someone that dives into their craft 110%. I’ve seen that in Japan especially, with artists that’s into their craft whether it’s even sushi chefs that spend their entire life just focusing on that and I love that – I love that. I’m such a fan of that and I admire and I respect that. It’s important that I have that too because my main core the whole of my operation is music. Music creation, music production and playing – playing my music out to the world. That has to be grounded. That has to be an anchor and platform and if I don’t have that, I can’t diversify. I think what the important lesson is here – is that diversification is always positive. You need to have your main business, whatever it is, whatever your main passion is – it has to be grounded so deeply into what you do and you have to be a craftsman in that space. Once you have that, then you can start building outward. You know, we only have one life, experience it. Experience as much as you can. All of these different things that were created in all of these different worlds is extremely fun for me. I enjoy it. I love it and if I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t be doing it. You have to love what you do and you have to love the process – not what is actually going to be in the end result. It’s always about the process.

AM: With so many artists, because of COVID-19 doing their performances virtually and I know that you’re known as a Techno Futurist Optimist with an interest in the intersectionality between humanity and technology, how do you think this digital reliance will impact the industry long term once we’re able to get back into a new normal.

SA: I think that in a hopeful sense that we will all get back to what we all love. You can’t deny live experiences and live shows. There is nothing that compares to that. A virtual show is like 1/10th of the experience and not a 100% of the experience. That’s why they were so big all around the world. We’re social creatures and beings. We love being around people and experiencing things together. We’re not a solo species. We need to feel energy and those feelings with other people. You can’t deny that and I think that hopefully, there will be a vaccine that will be administered around the world where we don’t have to worry about COVID deaths and COVID tragedies that are happening. But until then, the digital space is what I had to do. I think that all of us have had to take that because now there is an infrastructure being built around the digital space of experience and it’s evolving quite quickly. You know, I just played an Oculus show where you put on an Oculus headset and you’re talking to people from all around the world. As a fan watching the show, you can look to your right and your left and there’s another fan watching that same show from a different country. You can actually socially engage with them. The infrastructure is being built in such a way that there’s going to be more of a catch and they will be able to bring more of a better experience. I think that once we get back to IRL shows, there will still be that people will want to do that and be apart of that. I think that at least with COVID and people being in that business, it has created a space for it to grow. But, you can’t compare that when you’re talking about a live show.

AM: Last year, you published your memoir Blue: The Color of Noise, why did you want to write this and what was that process like for you?

SA: It took me about 6 years. It took me a long long time. It definitely wasn’t like, “ok, I’m going to get this done – I just need to do this.” It was an ongoing process and it started out being like the history of DIM MAK first. So I was like, DIM MAK is going to hit 20 years – we’re at almost 25 now. I thought I would do the history of DIM MAK, a 20 year book and I started writing stories about when I started DIM MAK back in ’96 when I was in college. I wrote about the struggles and all of the good stuff that you want to read – incredible stories. Then I realized, this was more about a memoir about my life and DIM MAK is a part of my life. It’s a big part of my life, but I felt that I should expand more and at that point, a few years after as I was touching on the history of my label, I started talking about the harder things that were very difficult to open up about like the death of my father (editors note: Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki, a wrestler and restaurateur who founded the restaurant chain Benihana), the death of some of my friends that made a huge impact on my life and then as I got deeper, I started seeing a therapist that helped me to actually bring out some more of my introspective feelings that had to be kind of unearthed. You know, it was therapeutic to be able to write the book and a lot of that went into it. I also – you know when a lot of people think about the history of Steve Aoki, they say, “oh yeah, he’s the guy that throws cakes at people at shows.” Well I just wanted people to know that there is a lot more than just that.

AM: You dropped Neon Future IV this spring which I know is part of the Neon Future series that you began in 2015, tell us about the series in general and what can you share about the 27 track album that you just dropped?

SA: Neon Future is a concept that I came up with and is exactly what you said earlier. I really look at the future as an optimist and I look at technology with an optimist lens. I look at tech in a way that can help us and enhance us to be more of a creative or imaginative species. At the end of the day, we want to save ourselves and saving ourselves will be saving our planet as well. With tech, we can advance that and become more of an intelligent species. That’s why Neon Future is a colorful future. And so really making sure that for me personally, the musical concept, I wanted to educate it by having scientists on the album. So it’s not just about having a collection of songs for each album, but to really validate my point, I reached out to scientists that were very difficult to get a hold of. Some of the people were harder to get a hold of than some of the biggest talents that I have worked with. I had to do a lot of explaining, fly and meet people and do a lot of work in that regard because I care so much about that space and I also love bridging the science community and the electronic dance music community in a way that hasn’t been done before.

Like Ray Kurzweil to Yuval Harari to J.J. Abrams to Bill Nye and so forth and so forth. It started off as one album and the second album was going and then I said, you know what, it’s too good to end. Then the third and then I built the studio between the second and the third and I call it Neon Future Cave and then between the third and the fourth album, I started creating the comic Neon Future with Tom Bilyeu because Neon Future really deserves to be graphically laid out with its storyline. Which presents a world that we can imagine and with every comic book story, you need to have conflict so we had to make it like a dystopia that we want to make it like a utopia instead of the opposite. It just kept on growing and it had a mind of it’s own and it became AI! It became its own thing. It’s almost funny that this project almost became it’s own powerhouse that I couldn’t even stop which is kind of cool. We’ll see. Because of my next project, this puts Neon Future IV as the last of the series so far. We’ll see if it continues as I have a few other concepts that I want to develop. My main baby is Neon Future that’s for sure.

CHAMELEON: HOLLYWOOD CON QUEEN

Campside Media

Apple Podcast

In the entertainment industry, there are a number of scams from casting calls, seeking investments for productions and more. In CHAMELEON: Hollywood Con Queen, this scam has taken place for a number of years and has targeted stylists, makeup artists, fitness trainers and more. It utilizes a Hollywood hierarchy where everyone is connected via a network of assistants who talk to one another in order to connect top agents, directors and producers. Due to the lack of direct conversations, the head of this scam has impersonated assistants as well as directors and producers in order to get the intended victim to spend their own money to go overseas and to willingly provide money without understanding that they are furthering the activity of the scam.

As the listener learns how the scam takes place and learns about those that are involved, we're brought into a world that affects everyone that is involved in the industry. We also hear from those in the industry who were conned, those who unknowingly introduced people to the con as well as those whose identity was used to keep the scheme running.

THE BACHELORETTE S16. E5. | WELCOME TAYSHIA

When ABC’s The Bachelorette kicked off last month, we thought that we wouldn’t be sharing weekly updates etc with Clare Crawley. With our insider info and as many people found out in weeks leading up to the first episode, we knew that she would not be The Bachelorette for the whole season. Each week we watched and last week, we finally saw her onscreen; however, the guys didn’t meet her, thus we held off from a recap. So tonight with one of our faves firmly in the seat, Tayshia Adams, we’re excited to go back to our scheduled posts on what took place, who we’re thinking will get down on the knee and more!

We meet Tayshia after Dale Moss proposes to Clare and they make an immediate exit after a long day of one on one time with one another. Meanwhile, the remaining guys who have no idea what’s going on except for the fact that Clare is not interested in them as she found love, believe that they will pack up the next day to return home after spending all the time quarantining to find their love journey. Chris pops in to let them know that should they choose, they can stay as they have another Bachelorette coming and they have until later tonight to decide if they will stay or not. The remaining 16 guys debate, take time etc and they all decide to stay. They meet Tayshia and are cautiously optimistic, although we know that Jason is having a hard time along with a few others. But smooth sailing in 2020 is not exactly something that stays around, Tayshia is pulled to get her limo moment with 4 additional guys who join the house. Their icy reception by the other men reminds us that it will be a bumpy road. We take a bit of a break to do a catch up with Dale and Clare. We hoped that there wouldn’t be an hour+ segment with these two. Thankfully they literally got their 15 mins and we were in the midst of Tayshia’s first dates which every guy was guaranteed that they would have one whether it was a group date (water basketball with some of the new guys thrown in) and a one on one. We also loved that on her first night, although first impression roses were given, she cleared the air quickly by saying that she wasn’t going to send anyone home so that she got time with everyone. This night also brought Jason’s feelings up when he let her know that he would be unable to stay due to falling in love with Clare. We’re still absorbing everything that happened, but we’re glad that the fun is back in the show and we have our eye on a few that we will be interested to see how things go!

Each night, we’ll tweet The Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns (it will be interesting to see how Hometowns will take place - we’re assuming families will be quarantined) if we were choosing right now! We will also say who we think should take it all.

We also suggest a podcast that we’re newly obsessed with, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour which is hosted by Rachel Lindsay (contestant on The Bachelor Season 21; The Bachelorette Season 13) and co-hosted by Becca Kufrin (contestant on The Bachelor Season 22; The Bachelorette Season 14) to get their feedback!

---

LAST EPISODE

We know that we liked these guys even though Clare was Team Dale all day - but we’re loving Kenny, Joe, Eazy and Zac. Kenny’s proposal will be accepted.

WEEK 5 (TAYSHIA’s 1st)

It’s too soon so we’re going to roll over most of last week’s picks. But we’re going to swap Zac for one of the new guys, Spencer (we’re not fans, but there is no denying that she is intrigued by him). Kenny, Eazy and Joe are still in the Hometown picks. We still think that Kenny will propose.

WE'RE @ THE SPA WITH ICONA POP + SOFI TUKKER

Over the past few months, we have navigated a number of life changes that have given new meaning to the term and ever evolving, "new normal." In the midst of these crazy times, we have also embraced things that we have always enjoyed - even if it is in a new way! Once again, music comes to the rescue as it makes our activities enhanced on all levels. When we first heard of Icona Pop and SOFI TUKKER's song Spa, we loved the fact that it had fun lyrics, a catchy tune and embraces something that we have been enjoying from home.

We had to catch up with both groups to find out how this song came together, how they have been working in these times and what they have coming up!

ATHLEISURE MAG: We have been fans of Icona Pop and SOFI TUKKER for a number of years – from pre partying, at the club, fun dinners, at PROPEL CO:LABS Fitness Festival in NY, Ultra Music’s Party here in NY during NYFW and when we’re cycling in studio. We also love hearing your music in commercials, shows etc. So it’s no surprise that when your team sent us the link to Spa, we’ve been jamming to it for the past few days and feel that it definitely needs to be in the mix of Athleisure songs for sure. Before we get into the song, how have you been spending these past crazy months?

ICONA POP: Wow thank you for all the love and support, that means a lot!

In the beginning, we felt very lost. Everything got canceled and life was just weird.

We decided first to take the time to reflect and breathe for a second. But after that we got so inspired so we locked ourselves in the studio and been super creative from there.

It started with us djing online and then we started our ”rave spa”. We´ve been connecting with all our fans around the world. And the best part is that we’ve had the time to sit down and write a lot of new music.

We’ve come to really appreciate the things you can do from your studio and laptop.

SOFI TUKKER: We started livestreaming on basically the first day of lockdown. At first, it was really random. Soph was working out and Tuck was Djing and our photographer started livestreaming the whole thing. We did it again the next day with Soph also DJing and it was so fun to connect with people so we committed to doing it every single day. We have been doing daily live dj sets every day now for 122 days. It's turned out to be such a meaningful time, being able to connect with people daily and find joy and positivity, even in pretty dire times. The community that's built around the sets calls themselves the Freak Fam and it keeps growing!

AM: In terms of staying fit, what are your workouts like and have you embraced new modalities especially during these crazy times?

IP: Its been very cool to join live stream work outs and also a lot of Swedish gyms have been having outdoor activities.

We try to move everyday before going to the studio. Doesn’t matter if its gym, walking running or whatever. But that really gives you endorphins and makes you stay focused the rest of the day.

It’s also different depending on how stressful it is, how much time and also how you´re feeling in your body that day.

Usually when its stressful or you have a lot in your head and you still need to release some steam, its amazing to lift weights, but also to do things that make you calm down like yoga or pilates.

ST: I've found working out to help so much during these times. I don't feel as stir crazy cuz I really am using all my energy in a day! I go on really long bike rides, I do HIIT training in the backyard, I practice yoga, I use the Peloton, I go rollerblading, I go on runs, I workout on the beach... pretty much anything, I try to switch it up all the time and keep my body guessing!

AM: How has creating music been for you during this time?

IP: It's been both good and bad.

We get a lot of our inspiration from traveling and now we’ve been in the same place for months. But somehow it's like life catches up with you and you can tap in to emotions that you haven't had the time to explore before.

Also the pressure to release music has been very low. But somehow we’ve released more music then in years this year. Feels like people really need it right now.

ST: We've been able to get so much done, since we aren't traveling!! We've created a ton of new music, and we usually test it out during the livestream and then workshop it and bring it back into the studio to tweak. It's a really fun way to make music and really cool to involve everybody throughout the whole process more than ever.

AM: How do you stay inspired as there is more time being at home versus traveling and having in person events?

IP: We absolutely love hugging and kissing our fans, so we really miss that. Even though we love seeing the world, the traveling part can put a lot of pressure on your body. So we guess its been good to stay at one place and slow down for a minute. And also, it's been very interesting for us with all the new ”normal” routines.

ST: The daily DJ sets really inspire us. We are constantly listening to music and testing it out and seeing how people react. And we've started doing a couple days a week of guest dj sets, so we are really active in the livestreaming world and constantly feeling inspired by not just the music we're playing but also the music other people are playing in their sets.

AM: Both of you have found great ways to stay connected with your fans, do you have any virtual events that we should know about and have you started working on IRL events?

IP: We live for our "Rave spa” that we have on our instagram live.

We try to do it once a week and then people can ask us whatever they want while we dj and are having a spa. We also do QandAs with our fans and try to involve them a lot in our everyday life. We also been playing live at empty clubs or arenas and streaming it to different places. We have an amazing live show prepared so as soon as the world opens up for touring, we will be there. We can’t wait!

ST: Yessss! Aside from our daily dj sets which you can find @sofitukkeroffical on twitch and @sofitukker on facebook and IG live, we are doing our first ever eConcert!!!! It's on December 4th and it's really excited because with this technology, the community will actually be present with us during the live show. We will be able to really see and hear everybody who is with us, with big screens in front of us while we are performing live. We can't wait. We haven't done our live show since the pandemic started and this will be truly next level technology we can't wait to all be together! You can find tickets on our website sofitukker.com.

AM: How do you define the Icona Pop sound?

IP: Electronic pop, driving drums, chanting choirs and a punk attitude.

AM: How do you define the SOFI TUKKER sound?

ST: We try not to define it so that we can always stay open to whatever inspires us in the studio. But it's always made to dance to, and we try to keep things joyful. Even in more emotional lyrics, we are a big fan of the cry-dance track.

AM: How did Spa come about and what was the intent behind creating it?

IP: We´ve been big Sofi Tukker fans for years. We bumped into each other in a elevator in New York and fell in love with them and decided to write together. A couple of weeks later we sat in the studio together and we started to talk about how much we love going to the spa. And realized That, that is the best way of ending every evening. After a show, a stressful day, if your being at a club, imagine to end that party night in a spa :) What a dream!

ST: We had wanted to get into the studio together for a while so we were soooo giddy when we finally were in there together. We vibed so well together and had big friend crushes!! So we were just goofing off and having fun and I think spa just came up in conversation and naturally made its way into a song. we were both vibing on acid house and techno and at first thought it didn't even need lyrics, but then we had so much fun with them.

AM: What was the thought behind both groups coming together?

IP: It felt so right from the instant second we met. Its all about the energy, and we really felt how we were vibing the second we met. Like we’ve known them for years.

ST: We have been Icona Pop fans for a while and then we randomly met each other in an elevator in New York and became instant friends. We knew we had to get into the studio together cuz we had such a good vibe among us.

AM: What are you doing in terms of promoting this song?

IP: We've done a lot of online interviews, zoom chats with our fans, playing the song in our dj sets and the response have been great so far. We love our fans, they are so creative. We get so happy when they put up videos of themselves in robes, cucumbers on their eyes, having a sparty in their living room.

ST: Rebranding cucumbers as "cukes" from now on.

AM: Will you guys collab again on another song together?

IP: Absolutely, we've already talked to Sophie and Tucker that we have to write more music asap and go on spa tour together.

ST: We'd love to!

AM: When you’re spa’ing from home, what are 3 things that you have to have to get into that mood?

IP: A robe

A good facial (Zo skin care - sulfur mask) And to lite some candles (its all about the mood).

And some great music off course. Our absolute favourite thing is the sauna. Its the best way to relax :).

ST: A candle

A robe

A bathtub

ATHLEISURE LIST | PRECISION FIT

Presence Fit is founded by Dr. Masaki Nakada and Robert Jadon. Dr. Nakada received his PhD from UCLA in Computer Science with an emphasis on human biomechanics, while Robert Jadon is a serial, technology entrepreneur.

There are new, live classes everyday, and there is also a library of On Demand classes. Presence's signature 40min HIIT workout is what got the company started, with a combination of strength and cardio. There are strength and mobility classes, as well as body-specific routines.

Instructors have a live video feed of each member, and that is supplemented with artificial intelligence, and HR monitoring to give them the most complete picture of the participants. There is also 2-way audio available, so participants can ask questions or request modifications and get direct responses from the trainer without distracting the class.

By having 2-way audio before and after class, as well as the ability to see if a friend is in the class, members can get get the workout they need, and enjoy it in a group setting. Since your video feed is only visible to the instructor, you never have to worry about anyone else in the class seeing you. It's completely private in that regard. We think it's the best of both worlds, combining community and privacy in a mobile platform.

Members can connect their Apple Watch to have their heart rate sent in real-time to our trainers so they can adjust their coaching accordingly. The trainer dashboard allows them to see a video of the member, their HR, and our mobile tracking using artificial intelligence which shows form, reps and activity.

Classes are expanding to include yoga, barre, and pilates to complement HIIT and strength training. These will be available live as well as On Demand.
