Ro Shon Hometown: L.A LARKIN POE HOMETOWN: Atlanta INFLUENCES: Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Band ALBUM: Kin, out now WEBSITE: larkinpoe.com AS DESCENDANTS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE, SISTER DUO Larkin Poe has extended a long line of talented yet tempestuous artists. “We have a very colorful family history,” says Rebecca Lovell, 23. “There were a lot of creative, hot-headed and intelligent branches that went against the grain in our family tree.” Early on, Larkin Poe tapped into some of that. “Musically we’ve been a bit schizophrenic in our choices over the years,” says Megan Lovell, 25. “But we found a way to piece the fragments of our artistic personalities and musical tastes together.” Larkin Poe opened shows for Elvis Costello, and more recently released their debut album, Kin, for which they wrote together for the first time. “There are touchy factors at play in the creative process: ego, personal perspective—or in our case, sibling ISSUE #38rivalry,” says Rebecca. “But as a result of collaborating, we’ve become MMUSICMAG.COM closer and the songs have become better.” RO SHON HOMETOWN: L.A. INFLUENCES: Prince, will.i.am, Michael Jackson ALBUM: I Am Ro Shon EP, out now WEBSITE: roshon.com RO SHON BURST ONTO THE SCENE AS STAR OF THE Disney hit show Shake It Up and celebrity dancer on Dancing With Gabriel Santiago, Keta; Mark Hug, Larkin Poe the Stars. But he decided to take a break from TV to focus on his greatest passion. “Music is something I’ve done all my life,” says Ro Shon, 23. “But I haven’t really taken that step to say, ‘Here I am!’ So now I’m taking those steps and people are hearing the songs I wrote and produced.” Signed to Universal Republic/Lava Records, Ro Shon—born Roshon Fegan—has produced tracks for Wiz Khalifa and Britney Spears, and has been selected as a brand ambassador for Casio. His new single, “Bout That,” is a prelude to more music to be released. “I think the extremity is within the music, within the passion,” he says. “If you love it and you work hard enough, the proof is in the pudding. If you have great music, it’s going to be heard.” 17 M mag 38.indd 17 3/16/15 1:08 AM ISSUE #38 M MUSIC & MUSICIANS MAGAZINE MARCH/APRIL 2011 M MUSIC & MUSICIANS MAGAZINE.

  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

    The Pledge DRAKE'S TAKE: FAREWELL! BY DRAKE VORDERSTRASSE, PRESIDENT During their term, the 2019-2020 Nebraska FBLA State Officers have SPRING 2020 had the chance to lead our organization in the discovery of a world of opportunity. From Omaha to San Antonio and from Denver to Kearney, our state has left a memorable trail for us to reflect upon as the FBLA membership year begins to draw to a close. nebraskafbla.org Jency, our State Parliamentarian, never failed to make everyone on the @NebraskaFBLA team feel like a Star. She has been a true friend to each member of the Nebraska FBLA officer team, but still found a way to keep us all organized when we got off-track during a meeting. @nebraskafbla Our Reporter, Sadie, ensured that each officer was well-informed of upcoming deadlines and of course, how far we were from completing our terms. Her service as a State Officer and a National Council Member is admirable, to say the least . Connor, our Treasurer, could always be relied on for a quick morale boost. Whether it be his exuberant energy, expansive knowledge of NEBRASKA FBLA 2019-2020 random trivia, or bizarre obsession with dinner rolls, Connor certainly A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY set the pace for the rest of the officer team. Our State Secretary, Megan, is perhaps best known for her aptitude for sarcasm. Her passion for the March of Dimes, phenomenal work ethic, and questionable vernacular made Megan quite the triple threat as our Secretary. Thank you to Ethan, our State VP, for providing endless laughs with stories about his campaign booth antics.
