not only did we ocus on springromance this issue, but we also
included a great deal o art
editorial work. Our cover icon,
Ashley Hinshaw, was so much
un to work with. She has three big movies out
and is making her way through this competitive
industry with her head set strong on her shoulders.
Ive noticed lately that a lot o people are really
ocusing on sel-empowerment, meditation and
really trying to become stronger individuals. I
truly believe that you cant be happy with your
surroundings, including your loved ones, riends,
coworkers and overall environment, until you are
happy with your own person. You need to enjoy
being around yoursel beore others can enjoy
being around you. So i you nd yoursel unhappy,
nd the root cause and work on resolving it.
People always ask me how I know what the right
things are to wear or buy when I go shopping. This
is my rule: I it isnt comortable, dont buy it. I
you dont love it, dont buy it. I its too tight, toobig or just doesnt t right, dont buy it. You may
sometimes think: I can get away with thisthat
just means its not right. My avorite things to wear
include a pair o skinny jeans, a white tank (Hanes),
and then dress it up with some cute shoes and
jewelry. One cannot go wrong with that combo.
Ive learned a lot being in the ashion world, and
the most important thing I can tell people is this:be yoursel, no matter what. Lastly, be comortable
in you.
Hope you enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed
creating it!

Red wine cupcakes with creamcheese rosting! Does it get
any better than that? Ive yetto come across any. Thesecupcakes are the tastiest Ive
made. They werent too di-cult to make but i you attemptthem I recommend wearing an
apron because as we all know,red wine stains, and its easy to
get carried away when using anelectric mixer. The batter andwine is supposed to stay IN thebowl.
dcts:
In a heatproo bowl combine
cocoa powder and chocolatechips and pour in the boilingwater. Using a whisk, stir the
chocolate until its all melted. Ina larger bowl, cream the butterand sugar together. Then beat
in each egg one at a time untiltheyre all mixed in. In a sepa-rate bowl combine the four,
baking powder, and salt. Thenslowly add that to the mixturemaking sure its all combined.
Add some o the chocolate tothe mixture, then some o the
wine, alternating until all o it blended. Pour batter into you
papered mun tins, almost athe way to the top. Awesome tiI learned rom my mom: Use a
ice cream scoop to spoon youbatter into the cupcake paperIt is SO much easier than any
thing else Ive tried! Pop thosin the oven at 350 degrees fo
about 20 minutes and let cool.
stg:
Beat the butter with the salt unt
its nice and fuy. Then add thcream cheese and continue beating until its all combined. Ad
the powdered sugar to the bowabout 1/2 C at at a time and beato combine. Keep adding mor
until the rosting is at the consistency and sweetness-level thayou desire.
The site recommends a Shirawine, which I used, because o it
sweeter taste. I added some resugar sprinkles to top them oand give them an extra sparkle.

With a US cosmetic
market reaching closeto $17.5 billion, plas-tic surgery is huge and
not going out o styleanytime soon. Chances are that you or oneof your BFFs has already had or is think-
ing o having a rejuvenating procedure in
the next ve years. Statistics rom the year2010 shows that 91% of patients were
women and approximately ve millionprocedures (including both surgical andminimally invasive) were perormed. The
top ve surgical procedures include breastaugmentation, nose reshaping, eyelidsurgery, liposuction and tummy
tuck. Any person is an educatedconsumer likely has done some personal
research to investigate the details o these
surgeries, but do you know everythingthere is to know about them?
Breast augmentation surgery began in1962 with the rst silicone-gel breastimplant. A couple years later, the rst
saline breast implant was introduced by
a company in France. When compared tothe silicone variety, the saline-gel implants
have demonstrated a higher likelihood ocosmetic side eects such as rippling orwrinkling; thus the now th generation
silicone-gel breast implant is the preerredchoice or both breast augmentation andreconstructive surgeries. Complications
such as breast implant rupture, breastpain, skin wrinkling or unavorable

scarring may occur. The age and designo a medical breast implant will mostlikely predict the rupture rate. Saline based
implants have been noted to have a 7-10%rupture risk at 10 years post-implantation.Newer generation silicone breast implants
have a better, approximate 1% rupture rateat about 6 years post-implantation, which
is a median age or the implant. Either dueto device leakage or excessive scar tissueormation causing capsular contracture,the odds o repair or revision surgeries
are approximately 20% at three yearspost-surgery and 3% at seven years post-surgery. Although controversial in the
past, most studies have not supported anydenite link between silicone-gel breastimplants and the onset o rheumatologic
or autoimmune disease.
Amongst the benets o breast
augmentation surgery are the aestheticand mental health aspects. Most surveysollowing surgery indicate that women
experience improvement in physicalhealth, appearance, social lie, sel-
condence, sel-esteem and sexualunctioning. Many women look orwardto enjoying the pleasure o wearing clotheswithout having to support their breasts
with pushup bras or showing o theirbodies in bikinis that they couldnt pull obeore. Others just want to get rid o breast
sagginess that has occurred over timeeither rom weight loss, nursing babiesor just getting older. No matter what the
reason or the breast augmentation, one
should always weigh the benets vs. therisks mentioned above, including the cost
o such surgeries. It is also a good idea tohave at least a second or even third opiniondepending on the area you live in and the
accessibility to experienced board-certiedplastic surgeons.
Nose reshaping, or rhinoplasty, is apopular procedure that is used to address
developmental (such as clet lip andpalate) or injury-related abnormalities(such as nasal racture or blunt trauma)to the physical appearance o the nose.
Closed, as opposed to open, rhinoplastyoers quicker recovery, decreased damage,less visible scarring, and less swelling
ater the procedure. Complications orhinoplasty are o lower likelihood butmay include post-operative bleeding,
inection, scars that impact the breathingrom airways, or accidental peroration othe nasal septum. Also, i too much o the
nasal ramework is removed, then it mayhave a negative consequence on the shapeand stature o the nose. Now the pros o
nose reshaping include eeling good aboutones appearance by removing deormities(either by injury or birth deect) or
improvement o breathing by opening upnasal passages. The aesthetic improvement
7/31/2019 Icon spr-2012
33/121sprinG 2012 iCon 3
can be achieved in a relatively short periodo time and is permanent.
Our third topic o plastic surgery dealswith eyelid surgery or commonly
reerred to as blepharoplasty. As acosmetic procedure, it is done to improve
puy lower eyelid bags and to reducethe wrinkling o skin. The proceduremay be important i it involves uppereyelid skin protrusion that aects the
individuals peripheral vision, whichmay impact their ability to drive or read.Although initial swelling and bruising
resolve ater a couple weeks post-surgery, the ull benets and stability othe procedure are seen several months
ater surgery. Scars, when they occur,are typically well hidden and disappearin due time. Although the risks o
eyelid surgery (such as blindness,blurred vision, corneal abrasion anddry eye syndrome) appear to be low, the
benets o improved appearance andimproved eyesight can be long-lastingand satisactory or many patients.
Liposuction is a term that most peoplehave likely heard in their lietime thus
ar. Basically, the idea involves removingat rom various parts o the body suchas the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and
arms. Here is a chance to get the bodyyou always wanted but simply could notully achieve with diet and exercise alone;
also it becomes a great way to improveyour physique and condence. It is notused to treat obesity or get rid o cellulite/
stretch marks. The risk and complicationsincrease with the more at that is removed,sometimes causing lumpiness or dents
in the skin. Bruising, swelling, pain andnumbness are short-lived eects ollowingliposuction and typically resolve in a ew
weeks. More serious complications includeallergic reactions to medications usedduring surgery or anesthetic (lidocaine)
toxicity, inection , damage to the skin,
puncture to an internal organ, bloodclots or at clots, fuid imbalance and even
burns (by riction o the cannula used orvia the ultrasound device emanating heat).Generally speaking, liposuction is eective
at removing at deposits in small areas.Improvement in body contour is visible
either immediately ater surgery or withinmonths as the swelling disappears. Theresults may be long-lasting i one continuesto exercise, eats a healthy diet and does not
gain weight. Fatty bulges may likely returnater liposuction i weight is gained again.
Last but not least, a tummy tuck orabdominoplasty is a surgical procedureaimed at making the abdomen more
rm. The procedure involves removingextra skin and at rom the middle andlower abdomen to then tighten the muscle
and ascia o theabdominal wall. Itis usually popular
with women whohave loose tissuesater pregnancy or
individuals with
sagging ater losinga greater amount o
weight. More seriouscomplications romthis procedure
include blood clots(lung clots rombeing inactive ater
surgery, strokes,heart attacks),inections, bleeding,
fuid accumulation,pain, nerve damage,and heavy scarring.
Whether you decideto do a completeor mini tummy tuck, benets include
better dened abdominal muscles, tighterskin, reduced or removed cellulite/stretchmarks, and o course looking great in a
bikini or bathing suit.

Graduating rom CornellUniversity, Dr. Diaz attend-
ed the prestigious AlbertEinstein College o Medi-
cine in New York with the intention o
going into the eld o cardiothoracicsurgery. Ater his rst year he aggres-sively sought an internship with a
heart surgeon, however upon work-ing alongside his mentor discovered
that although he had tremendousrespect and admiration or the eldit was also very emotionally drain-ing. He explains that what he hadnt
realized was how many amilies hewould have to deliver bad news toand how oten. In his second year
o medical school he was burdenedwith the new idea o nding adierent area o surgery that he was
interested in, and began looking intothe many dierent types.
Taking an internship at a hospitalwith a plastic surgeon, Diaz ound
his true passion.
I loved it so much, and thought
it was so interesting because everyday was so dierent. One day we
would be reconstructing a breastcancer patients breast, and thenext day a deormity in a child.
Though excited about hisnewound calling, Diaz consideredthe lengthy amount o time it would
take to achieve his goal: our yearso medical school and anotherve o surgical training, topped
with still another two years oplastic and reconstructive surgery
training. Driven and ambitious,he approached the chie o plasticsurgery - something unheard o
or a second year medical student- and asked how he could nishhis schooling aster. Simply and
sternly he was told, Graduaterst in your class. He was then
inormed o a special acceleratedprogram available to the topgraduating medical studentswhich allows them to combine
both trainings in ve years ratherthan seven, and this is what hestrived to accomplish.
Simultaneously working excessivelyto be the best academically, Diaz

was also always the lie o the party -always socializing, attending eventsand parties, never revealing the
endless hours he spent reading andre-reading all o his text books andstudying during any spare minute
he had.
Diaz eorts paid o. At graduation,
he was the only medical student inthe entire class to win an award inall three categories o academics,
scientic research, and volunteerwork. The academic award wasthe Alpha Omega Alpha; a strictly
academic award thats only given tothe top 10% of medical students. Most
importantly, the Board o Medicineand the Board o Plastic Surgeonsgranted him the opportunity to dothe accelerated program at the Albert
Einstein College o Medicine.
Now a well-known plastic surgeon
in Beverly Hills, Diaz explainedthe pros and cons o being a plasticsurgeon. He strongly emphasized
how rewarding it is to be able to helppeople eel better about themselves,
and says its truly lie surgery becausethere may be one thing about their
eatures a person doesnt like, andby xing just one thing their wholelives are altered because o howmuch it boosts their condence. He
suggests, or instance, to imagine ayoung girl whos very pretty but wasborn with a large nose, which she is
sel-conscious about. By adjustingsomething so small as a nose, thisgirls entire lie will be changed, rom
her social lie in high school andcollege to potential relationshipsand lie partners, all because o one
surgical procedure. He says knowingthat hes helped improve someoneslie is the true reward.
Aside rom plastic and recon-structive surgery, Diaz also does
plastic surgery on burn patientstwice a week. He loves these oper-ations very much, and is honored
to help so many people that suerrom such disguring incidents.The amount o heartelt emotion
Diaz speaks with about his workshows a truly genuine passion or
helping others through his ownpersonal skills.
Although his list o pros heavily
out-weigh the cons, he does havea ew minor ones, rstly being, ocourse, the extensive schooling,
that demanded time and extremeeort rom his lie. He says thatbeing a plastic surgeon in Beverly
Hills is hard because theres somuch competition. The majority
o surgeons specialize in a certainarea in order to prevail. Diaz
ocuses mainly on acial and breastsurgery although he said he wouldenjoy working in all aspects o theeld. He states, Beverly Hills is
ull o plastic surgeons; you have tond a niche that makes you standout somehow in order to succeed.
When I inquired about what hedoes when a patient comes in who
has clearly already had too muchplastic surgery, his response was arespectable one. Regardless o the
money he would make by just doingthe surgery requested, Diaz willactually turn away patients who come
in wanting excessive procedures that
they dont look like they need. Hecompared it to aspiring actors - i
you take every audition and everyrole you get rather than workinghard or the good roles, youre going
to end up burning yoursel andyour name out, and then nobody isgoing to want you. The same goes or
surgeons. I you operate on someonewho looks like theyve had too many
procedures, they may end up lookingworse and then the surgeon ends upwith a bad reputation.
Diaz plastic surgery practice has beenso successul that he has been eaturedon television shows such as Dr.
90210, Dr. Drews Lifechangers, E!News and NBCs Extra.
Diaz is currently in the processo creating a skin care line that
he believes will make skin lookrejuvenated and younger.
Additionally, Dr. Diaz has receiveda degree with distinction in PlasticSurgery Research or articles hes
published about plastic surgery. Hehas received awards rom the NewYork Regional Society o Plastic
Surgery, the Monteore MedicalCenter and the Albert EinsteinCollege o Medicine.

every year crowdsat the Sundance
Film Festival unofcially anoint
a new It girl, and this year itsGina Rodriguez turn. NYU gradRodriguez, a 27-year-old Puerto
Rican rom Chicago, headlines an
all-star cast in the critical successFilly Brown.
As Gina herself puts it, FillyBrown is awesome. Im biased
because my ace is in every rame.Filly is a girl from East L.A. whois the matriarch o her amily.
Her mother is incarcerated,shes got a single dad, shewatches over her little sister and
she loves music. Its just likeanyone would love anything,like dancing or bioengineering -
they have a passion and a dreamor something.
Though easy comparisons wouldbe to Craig Brewers TerrenceHoward-starring Hustle &
Flow and Curtis Hansons
Eminem semi-biography 8Mile, Filly focuses more on
the amily contingent. Says Gina,It goes back to story, which Ireally like because its not this
rap battle or $10,000 and allher problems are ixed. Thatsnot the way the world works. It
just so happens that through herattempt to help the amily hermusic gets out there a little bit.
Its not like superstardom, butshes ound by an indie label,
which exposes her to a biggerlabel, and everything comescrashing down because its built
on lies and deception.
Regarding what she considersthe heart o the picturesamilial core, she continues, Idont think a lot o critics have
spoken about the psychology o[the ilm]. People we love, wesomehow dont see their laws.
Sometimes we dont want to seethem; sometimes we try to ignorethem. The reviews will say, Filly
Brown is nave. I look at myather, who I love tremendously,and he has signiicant laws and
only now as an adult am I ableto see them. When I was youngerhe was a god! I wonder what it is
when we watch a movie - how westop looking with our hearts.
Since the acceptance toSundance, let alone the preceding

opportunity to work on the lmalongside Lou Diamond Phillips,Emilio Rivera, Jenni Rivera and the
legendary Edward James Olmos,all o whom she was inspirationallywelcomed by, Ginas lie has hit the
ast track. Things have propelledrather quickly, and the peoplearound me suddenly think Im
amous and rich which is hystericalbecause Im neither. They think
you change when really yourelike, No, youre changing! I justate a $2.99 salad from Pavillion!
Chill out, you know? Lie is notthat dierent. Everybody says,Oh, are you gonna buy a new car?
Are you gonna move? No, Imgonna drive my 99 Honda andIm not moving because I love my
neighborhood and I love my rent!They dont know the inside scoopwhere youre still eating avocado
sandwiches or dinner. And I loveavocado sandwiches!
Its really interesting to parallelthe lm with whats going on inmy lie and what would go on in
anybodys lie when you get knee-deep in the industry and youcan be changed, morphed and
molded in to something thatsnot you. And when its not you,how lasting is it, really?
One could sensibly presume theexcitement eervescing romevery minute o Ginas lie is
new, but her outlook has beenemphatically optimistic or as longas she can remember. My ather
used to always say to me when Iwas younger, Gina, the worstthing that can happen is you die.
As morbid as that sounds, its true.Lie kind o rocks i you look at it
glass-hal-ull. Everyone says, Staylike that, because youre gonna getjaded! Why? I dont get it, I look
at these people who do what theylove every day and Im like, howare you not on top o the world?
I see lie a little dierently. I dontknow, maybe I dont see lie a littledierently; maybe Im completely
out o my mind. I eel like theindustry is dying or positivity,because people are so blown away
that Im like this. We dont have tobe jaded and negative and nasty;life is way too good for that. We
should want to help each otherout. We should want to change theworld. We should want to use our
money or good!
What truly keeps Gina going these
days is the deserved recognition oher art. Thats all Ive ever reallywanted. For me, this is all really
exciting and really great, and Ijust want to do more and better.People will look and say, Wow, she
can act! Its like, Thank you! Ivebeen working so hard to let yousee that! Now that you know, lets
make some awesome art!
Before Filly Brown, Gina co-
starred as, as she puts it, a crazyPuerto Rican rom the block in
the teen hip-hop comedy GoFor It, which released throughLionsgate On Demand. Filly
came her way when its directorsapproached her upon the Go ForIt screening at the Los Angeles
Latino International Film Festival.Through their interest, the helpo riend Jesse Garcia (actor,
Quinceaera) and just howimpressed Gina was with the script- which she read in under an hour
- the career-making role was hers.I called [Jesse] back and Im like,Dude, love it! And hes like, You
did not nish reading it that ast.A ew days later Jesse got me anaudition and that same night they
pretty much oered me the role.
Gina perormed spoken word
during her time at NYU, butthe rapping in Filly was a newundertaking. Its really interesting

because each article kind o changesit - they say something dierent, like
that I trained or months. I did nottrain or months! I did not train atall! I wish I had trained or months;
I probably would have been waybetter! I just literally threw mysel
in to the recording studio. I tookthe same approach to acting as Idid to the music. Knowing exactlywhat the lyrics were - having my
lines like butter - it was somethingI didnt have to worry about. Anykind o research I might do or a
script, I did or the music. I wouldwatch other recording artists andpick up their little tips by seeing
how ar they stood rom the mic orhow they would annunciate certainthings or what made them more
comortable - some wanted to be inthe dark, some wanted ull light. Idid all the music beore the shoot.
I started recording December5th and we started shootingJanuary 3rd.
There were rappers who cameon set and were like, Your voice
is dope, I want you to be on mysong! And I would go in to theirstudio and record with them and it
would be an entirely dierent styleo music. Ive done rockabilly tohardcore gangsta rap.
Ater the movie was done I was inthe studio re-recording all the songs,
because at that point I was so muchmore condent on the microphone.Ive been doing it ever since, so now
Ive been doing music or about ayear. Its about exercising it andbeing willing to trip and all and get
back up. Im now talking to labelsabout continuing to do music. Itsa newfound passion. Who knew I
would love to rap so much?
Filly Brown comes at an interesting
time or Latino cinema. Just likewith black cinema, which outside
Tyler Perrys circle has seen dicultygarnering unding (I.E. Spike Leeswould-have-been Inside Man

nanced Red Tails), distributorsare araid to pick up lms they

Understanding both thesituations nancial and cultural
aspects, Gina is passionate aboutshiting the mentality. She oers,I think its a problem on both
sides. I think we the Latino
audience have done somethingthat has given Hollywood a ear.
We are 18% of the viewership, butwe dont watch our own movies.A Better Lie, which is about a
Mexican gardener - we all need togo see that! Its the same with RedTails. All black people, Latinos,
and everybody should see that!
Until we unite, Hollywoods not
going to look at it any dierently.And you cant look at Hollywoodand be like, Oh, thats just racist.
You wont pick up a Latinomovie because youre white.No, its money! They want a
movie thats gonna sell! Latinosneed to start watching Latinomovies so Hollywood can see we
actually have a hunger or it! Our
population is dying for this! Weredying to see color on the screen, to
see interracial relationships; weredying to see lie!
It takes eort on both ends. Ittakes Hollywood to take a riskand realize the world is hungry
or it, and it needs to be marketedcorrectly. My lm Go For It, a
hip-hop movie that happened tohave all brown people, didnt haveone billboard or commercial. Ipeople actually knew it existed,
it may have done better. Its acombination o so many things.
We need the world to unite andwatch these movies because itmatters! Red Tails, Filly Brown,
they matter or our movement!
Theres a parting o the Red Seathat needs to happen where we see
our aces on blockbuster moviesbecause were good actors. Imnot the skinniest girl, Im not
the prettiest girl, but I can act
my arse o! Thats what I do likeits nobodys business! I can do
dramatic, I can do comedic; I wantto work with Woody Allen andQuentin Tarantino! I want to be
in Christopher Nolans next lm!I should have been in Inception!But weve got to get out there and
show the power on both ends.Its not just one persons ault.I we get Latinos to unite and
Hollywood to take a risk, I thinkboth ends would prot!
Concerning Filly Brownspecically, Gina continues,Its unny, one critic was like,
They dont even speak Spanish!Really? Do we have to? I grew up
in Chicago with English as myrst language. I wanted to wear
Abercrombie & Fitch in highschool, and I wear J.Crew now!Filly Brown is a third-generation
Latino story about the kid who
grew up like anybody else. Its anormal story about chasing ater
your dreams and ghting or youramily, it just happens that itsdone by a bunch o brown people.
Its really important we get [thelm] out there because there are
a whole bunch o Latino kids - Iknow because I was one o them- who just want to see their story
on screen, where its not likeLa Rasta, and theres a fag, andtheres a rosary. I dont have those
things in my house. Thats ourstory. Were normal. Filly Brownis a part of that movement. First-,
second-, third-generation Latino,American, anything! I I want

anything to catapult more thanmy career, its that. I want to see
a change. I want little Latina girlsto know they dont have to getpregnant at 16 because thats not
the reality anymore.
Lets be honest - TV and moviesand the Internet, thats educationnowadays. It sickens me, but letsbe real - when we were younger,
we did not have a cell phoneattached to our braid. I didnt geta cell phone until I was in college!
That needs to change, and it needsto be more refective o whatsgoing on in the world. I want to be
a role model or these little girls,
because when I was growing up Isure didnt have any.
Shes on the right path - on theloaded docket or Gina is not only
a yet-to-be-determined programon ABC (or which she hopes tond the right match where I get
to do something motivationaland encouraging and non-
stereotypical), but also severallms reuniting her with Michael
Olmos, Edward James Olmos -or, as she calls him, Eddie - and
her Filly Brown director YoussefDelara, respectively. Ever humble,she states, Theyre such brilliant
directors; that they want to workwith me again is such an honor.
For Delara, shell be starringalongside Dustin Homans sonMax in Snap. For Eddie andJoe Youngs grandson Bobby shell
get to sing in This Little SpanishTown (working title).
Perhaps most thrillingly, withMichael Olmos lm, The Girl,Gina will take on the lead as one o
the greatest types o characters a
movie can be about - a boxer. Thestory means a lot to me because
its her and her ather and theirrise to success together. My atheris a reeree or boxing; he was a
championship boxer. You hearme talk about him a lot, becausehes a huge motivation in my lie.
Hes my best riend. He made mewho I am. When I was younger he
would whisper in my ear when Iwas sleeping, You can be anythingyou want to be! And I would wakeup and be like, Dad! What are you
doing! Im in high school, youcant do this! And hed be like, Goback to sleep. Im talking to your
subconscious, Im not talkingto you.
The Girl and Gina Rodriguezcoming together is an idealcoincidence, as the lm will tread
not only in to that history with herather but also her own past in thesquared circle. I started boxing
when I was about three. I was soexcited to show Michael thesepictures o me where the gloves
are as big as my whole body, andIm just trying to hold up my arms
because theyre so huge. And I get
to share that with him and showhim how much the story actually
means to me. My ather can bein the lm as well - he can be theone that trains me - so I eel really
blessed my ather and I will be ableto work together, doing what I loveand doing what he loves.
No matter what happens, Gina
wont soon orget Sundance. To
gi lkIm not the most ashion-orward
person. I dress like a little boy.I dress in bow ties and bigglasses. Im able to dress like
a little boy because I love Ted
Baker. Ted Baker rocks my world.Its never really cleavage and
short skirts, its always buttoned-up collared shirts and tuxedopants. I also love Madewell. Asmuch as they wont sponsor me,
they should! They dont sponsoranyone! I I could I would dresslike a Parisian and faunt around
Europe in my awesome outts.

You just see one good movie ateranother. Its so encouraging, somotivating - you sit there and listen
to people speak at the panels andyoure just like, Im gonna leave, soI can go make a movie right now!
I want to be at Sundance next year
with my directorial debut, writtenand starred!
When asked if she feels the need
to pinch hersel, Gina gushes,Oh, my goodness, Im literallysqueezing my thigh right now!
Yes, yes, yes! Because you knowwhat? Every single day o my liehas been a success. I get to wake
up and do what I love, or at least
try! I think a lot o us orgetthat. Were like, Im not thereyet! I havent made it! I haventarrived! I dont want to arrive!
Its not about the end result. Idont want this to end! I dontneed it all to happen today. We
take these awesome steps andorget to look down and think,Im on this awesome step! I cant

the whole project is being lmedover twelve years, so you get to see

is how the shows progressed, and Ithink the character becomes morelikable. I dont think hes dumb, I
just think he has the intelligence o
a six-year-old. Hes underdevelopeda bit, so hes very nave, innocent and
playul, and he speaks his mind. Iget to tap in to what its like to be achild again, when you dont care that
youre shirtless, dancing and washinga car. Its not dicult anymore.

not a dancer, and to my knowledgeno one on set is a dancer or ableto give me tips. Its just that when
action is called, you just go or it.Theyll bring in some music and Illjust go crazy. The notes yelled will be
like, Less humping! More dancing!

just great people to be around - verysupportive, and we all try to hang

which he does in the episode so thatstranslated in to lie to some extent.

potential to develop in to a recurringlove interest in a second season.

Thats the best approach I can have- to just go have un - because Iwas scared. Its being me, not me

just being on this show with these
people. I like doing television butultimately I want to do lms,
you know? I dont know exactlywhat kind o lms. I dont havemy ideal lm in my head right
now, but last time someoneasked me I said I wanted todo a Mission: Impossible
sort o thing. Ive alwaysthought it would eel good
to be a Jason Bourne or anEthan Hunt. That wouldbe such a un project totackle - something thats
super-active. Weve got along, unexpected career aheado us so Im sure Ill have a ew more
identities down the line.
Y bsly th sh ct l. Wht sy tss g tl?Yeah man, theyre trying to keep me
shirtless on this show. Ive alwaysbeen active. I was the captain o myfootball team. Weight lifting and all
that was always just a part o thegame. I do whatever I can. When Imoved out here I remained active -
my big thing now is a type o workoutcalled CrossFit. Its not a lot of plate
pinches or arm curls; its more powercleans and rope climbs - that bootcamp sort o eel. I love that. Theykick my ass. Some guys take it way
too seriously and they do somethingcalled the Paleo diet, which is eatingas i youre in the Paleolithic Era -
hunting and gathering. I just try toeat really clean.

Starting the show at the meretween age of 14, Nathan says
he had never really given toomuch thought to his personalstyle. He hadnt been to any
red carpet events yet, and didnt particularlyknow what to wear; he just dressed like anaverage kid in tees and button-downs.
Being on iCarly caused me to gure outwhat I enjoyed wearing, Nathan says o his
style decisions.
Nathan claims that his character, Freddie,
has had an infuence on what he wears,himsel. As an opposite eect, he tends to
stray rom the typical horizontal-stripedAbercrombie & Fitch polo shirts that were
selected or his wardrobe, and purposelytries not to wear them as a distinctionbetween his character and his own
individuality. Nathan nds this style to bevery specic to his character, and once evensaw a kid at a Halloween event dressed up
like Freddie with the classic striped shirt.Now, however, as the shows characters havematured, hes been able to grow out o it.
The look Nathan wears most oten thesedays is a long-sleeved button-down with
the sleeves rolled up (he hates when thesleeves are cued at his wrist), generally

plaid but sometimes solid colors.
He enjoys wearing patterns becausehe eels a shirt is more versatile thatway, and can be combined with a
graphic tee underneath.
Typically Nathan will wear jeans
with the button-downs, andjokingly states he has come to
terms with wearing the now-trendytighter pants or guys rather than his
preerential loose boot-cuts. Hescome to like the trend and thinks itone o his better style upgrades.
I had to get used to wearing slimt recently because I noticed that
when photos are taken, it justdoesnt look good.
Not only does Nathan get to wear allthe mature Freddies clothing, he alsohas very cool stylists on the show who
know his body type and the clothesthat t him best. This team has helpedguide his ashion sensibility.
He also has two teenage co-stars whohave a similar eect to that o the
stylists. He says they dont necessarilygive him any particular advice, buti he came in wearing something
stupid they wouldnt hesitate totell him. He very much appreciateshaving some perspectives rom peers
closer in age.
Growing up - not to mention going
through puberty - on the show,
demonstrates a lot o change inNathans life and in his style. Whenasked how it elt to go rom picked
on to crushed on, and Nathan sayswhen the show rst started healways hoped his character would
undergo some sort o change, andit denitely did! When he nally
started getting older his styleollowed the course o nature, going
rom layered sweatshirts to tighter,more orm-tting tees.
Considering his new spot as oneo the top male heartthrobs, thequestion arises as to whether
Nathans heavily emale an basehas any infuence on what he wears.Nathan says it does have a little bit
o infuence, and that while hes notparticularly in tune with what girlslike guys to wear he does get positive
eedback on his and his charactersrespective styles.
I wish I could just have a checkliston what girls like guys to weargirls are all dierent, some like guys
who wear skinny jeans, and somelike guys who dont. I just wish theyall didnt like skinny jeans, because I
dont like them, Nathan jokes.
As hes had to attend more and more
ormal events and award shows,Nathans style has transormed intowhat he calls a balance between
younger and older; he doesnt like
dressing like a kid and wants to beseen as an adult, yet he wants tolook age-appropriate. His personal
avorite wardrobe piece or anythingancy is a vest, and he has worn themor the past three Nickelodeon Kids
Choice Awards. For these events hesa big an o classier looks, and says i
he could choose a label he wanted towear hed pick Armani or Ted Baker,
and that he usually wears a lot oHugo Boss.
I try to remind people that Imbecoming a man, so I try to dressmysel in more o a proessional way.
As or that head o hair, Nathan saysit has undergone several evolutions
over the past two years. He says hisrst hairstyle was his biggest mistake;he had the whole top o his head in
some sort o spiked aro that madeit look gigantic. From there he wentwith the ront fip, which then became
more o a lited comb-over look, butthat was only because he was tryingto grow his hair out and that was the
only style that worked with the longhair. He then decided to cut it shortand spike it out in the ront. Recently,
at the Australian Kids Choice Awards,his stylist told him she wanted to trysomething dierent. She cut his hair
and used a bunch o products hehad never seen beore, and when henally got to see it, he liked it a lot.

65/121sprinG 2012 iCon 6
So now hes combined the last two
styles in a sort o combed-over andpieced look he says is an extensiono the combination younger and
older look.
Now graduating over rom
television to movies, Nathanimparted that his recent characterin the lm Game o Your Lie was
very interesting to play because itinvolved a style he wasnt used toat all. His character, Phillip, is a
video gamer who wears nothingbut black - a color that proved
quite uncomortable in the hotAtlanta summer weather in whichthe movie was lmed. He was,however, very excited when he got
to wear a black vest in one o thenal scenes. He admits the styletook some getting used to but it
was neat being involved in such adierent project.
As hes been getting older,Nickelodeon has been aging upNathans wardrobe, and those
Australian Kids Choice Awardshave had the most major aecton his style thus ar. Nathan says
he was styled with with jackets,and one he liked a lot was agrey trench coat rom H&M
that he elt dressed up anythingunderneath it. He said that awardshow aected him signiicantly,
because it was the irst time theyreally tried to age him up. On thered carpets he would be styled
with nice jeans, a button-downand a nice blazer, which was theoldest hes ever looked. He now
wears a lot o jackets, and usuallycarries one around in his carjust in case the warm Caliornia
weather takes a turn and gives
him an excuse.
When it comes to letting his
extensive emale an base knowhis take on emale styles, hesaid hes not incredibly picky
and respects a girl who iscomortable enough towear a shirt and jeans and
shoes - one who doesnthave to hide behind anyancy clothes or labels
unless at a ancy event.Quickly remembering
hes talking to aashion magazine, hecharmingly adds thathe has nothing against
skirts and dresses, andalso likes the girly typestu too. As with many
guys, he also preers lessmakeup and simplerlooks, noting that less is
always more.
As his exciting career progresses,
Nathan attests that its all withplenty o help and motivationrom his an base. He loves his
ans and his whole experiencewith iCarly would becompletely dierent without
their support. He also says thatthanks to Twitter, its really easyto have a personal connection
with ans because its so easyto update, and he likes thatpeople can eel closer to him
and whats going on in hislie. He said he made a Twitteraccount at rst to simply stay
connected and ollow people,and he now has about hal amillion ollowers.

ull o wit, charm, andbeauty, Ashley Hinshawgives a glimpse into her
exciting and ast-moving
lie while being preppedfor her Icon cover shoot. From
childhood dreams to dreams cometrue, her journey has been somethingyoud expect to see in a movie.
Ashley says she always wanted tobe an actress while growing up in
Indiana, and laughingly admitsshed always get animal roles suchas Toto and a bird in Alice in
Wonderland. She even played a tree,but that never discouraged her. Shewanted to move to Los Angeles ater
high school to be discovered, andas ate would have it, a well-knownNew York ashion photographer
Bruce Weber discovered her, leadingAshley to Abercrombie & Fitch andHollister ads.
Ashleys modeling career excelledrapidly, landing her in shoots all over
the world. She even had an apartmentin Paris because she was back andorth between there and New York so
much. Its crazy; starting in JanuaryI had never let the United States, andby June I had been all over the world,
she observes.
During her modeling career, Ashleyadmits that she was a lot more stylishin New York compared to the morelaid back vibe o Los Angeles. She
used to wear a lot o black in NewYork and Paris, but in Los Angelesshe loves to perk up an outt with
color. She likes looks such as Odelin,Parker, Ir Le Vigne and AlexanderWang, which she nds simple with a

versatile and comortable.
Ashleys staple shoe is a suede boot,
and her avorite boot designer isElizabeth & James. In Los Angeles,Ashley rocks Converse, and says she
is denitely not a an o fip-fops.At the shoot Ashley wears a pair oworn fat leather boots she got rom
a movie she was in, keeping thembecause she liked them so much.
In her makeup bag you wouldnd Mac eye shadows, especiallyin natural neutral colors or a light
purple. Shes also big on mascara,especially since she has blondeeyelashes, and loves her mascara
by Dior. Recently shes been gettinginto red lips, and admits that youdenitely have to have the right
mentality to wear it. She recounts,I remember I wore red lips to theTeen Vogue party and was nervous
at rst; you denitely have to bebold to wear it.
As or those perect blonde locks,Ashley says the hairstyles shestrending toward now are the low
ponytail, the sh tail, and the lowbraid, though she likes to changethings up. She once dyed her hair
red and loved it!
Ashley says she loves modeling
but wanted to act more thananything, and apparently
destiny agreed. She ell

so quickly, and in January of 2010she moved to Los Angeles with noconnections. She says that even
though initially she would lose partsto bigger names, she was overlyrealistic, living in the moment, and
extremely appreciative.
Not being well known yet proved
to have a bright side when itlanded Ashley a role in theupcoming movie LOL eaturing
Miley Cyrus. Ashley says theywere looking or someone lesserknown to play Mileys characters
best riend. Ashley says working
with Miley or her rst big jobwas amazing yet intimidating,
but that the star wasvery down to Earth andwelcoming.
Two weeks ater nishinglming or LOL, Ashley
was in South Aricalming the 21st CenturyFox movie Chronicle.
She claims it wasprobably her avorite tolm because o the great
location and cast. Themovie ollows three boys whoaccidentally obtain superpowers,
using them or un at rst buteventually nding themselvesin a whirlwind o predicaments.

Next Ashley ilmed the movie
Cherry, set to debut in Marchand starring James Franco and
Heather Graham. She plays anestranged prostitute, which shedescribes as interesting because
it was the role urthest romher and a great opportunityto take a journey away rom

As her dream o acting rapidly turnsinto an amazing reality, Ashley is so

a clothes hanger.
In her downtime, Ashley enjoyshanging out in Santa Barbara. Shes
