When it comes to celebration, empowerment and encouragement of Chicano culture and community, Elvira Zamora is the resident queen. She is the founder of Chicano Elegance, an artistic movement rooted in honoring and commemorating the rich beauty, fashion history and overall style of the Chicano culture, people and history.

Elvira is rooted in the business of fashion, but was feeling discouraged with the lack of representation in the industry; as a gesture of resistance to counter act the cultural appropriation she saw proliferating the fashion trade, she created the Chicano Elegance Gala, highlighting incredible Chicano and Latino creatives, giving them a platform for their work to be cherished and celebrated. While the organization is rooted in Los Angeles, the vibe is nationwide, with galas being executed on both coasts.

She is currently doing a Southern California tour to promote her coffee table book, Chicano Elegance, showcasing stunning images from galas on both coasts, celebrating the very best of Chicano culture and community. She is also co-hosting "Cruisin' Colorado," with Pasadena staple, Tepito Coffee, promising an afternoon of lowriders, Chicano fashion, poetry and cultural performances.

Sometimes you just gotta get behind the mics and execute an audio download of the week and its affairs; so we did just that.

Join Randi & Frankie as they discuss a week of indulging in new restaurants and bars, getting a tattoo & covering a Grammy Awards event!

We also dig into a concept that has been on the minds of many; living a more "analog" lifestyle. Frankie & Randi discuss "touching grass," having a "dumb" phone & ditching screens to gain a deeper connection with loved ones & community.

We, of course, did some name dropping of great haunts in Los Angeles, and here's how to find them on socials.

Aly Rose's passion for the beauty industry was formed in her early years; just like many of us, the makeup of her family matriarchs was fodder for play; the difference with Aly was that by 7 years old, she had already mastered full beat makeup. She honed her skills, perfecting makeup looks for friends and family for events like dances, weddings and the like. She created a career path for her that led to becoming certified in theatrical makeup at Orange Coast College, and at the ripe old age of 16, she began a management career in beauty. Aly juggled her passion for beauty with higher education, studying Film, TV, and Public Relations at one of the most recognized universities, University of Southern California. During this time, she managed the Urban Decay counter, served as a lead makeup artist, and assisted with glamorous red carpet events. After earning her BA from USC, she was recruited by Victoria's Secret Beauty, where I had the pleasure of meeting and working with her, as she successfully managed a team of beauty specialists. Running into each other at a USC football tailgate and hearing about her plans of starting her own makeup artistry company was exciting and empowering; she truly was and is built for the beauty industry.

Aly has continued to empower women worldwide through her artistry. Along the way, she has conquered a battle with cancer, embarked on the journey of motherhood with two spirited boys, and embraced every day to the fullest. She is an inspiration, a mentor, and the future of makeup artistry.
