Subculture

Rufio Vasquez our favorite biker comes from a Chicano background of tough love. His mother, Sylvia Vasquez was diagnosed with Cancer when Rufio was only 6 years old. “I lived my entire life not knowing if I would have a mother” he said. According to Rufio he grew up in an environment where he had to be a strong young man. Growing...

I was getting very worried. The deadlines for the pictures where coming up and my face, Rufio had already cancelled 3 appointments we made for the photo-shoot. Our magazine’s editor in chief, Genna Gold reminded me that part of the job is to be persistent. Call him, text him, email him. “Annoy the shit out of this guy” she said with...

The fall semester continues and The Bull Magazine’s articles have officially gone from a good  idea to a tough homework assignment and deadline. The newsroom has a permanent energy of intensity as the writers and photographers keep up with the weekly assignments, maintain a job, other classes and personal lives. A confused look was on our editors face last Tuesday, after...

It has been a busy week at the Pierce college newsroom. Everyone has been putting in time, hard work and a lot of sweat to put this magazine together. As of now my number one priority is to take many pictures. With Sean and Emelyne it has been nothing but a learning experience and lots of fun. Sean, is not...

A beautiful redheaded girl dressed in all black holding what appeared to be a...

It’s Thursday evening and my classes are finally over for the day. My friend Ana and I are excited to get out of school and hang out at home. As we walk towards the school parking lot we hear a loud growl. The kind that instantly makes you want to look. The loud sound was coming from a motorcycle;...

Sean Oliver has not always been the 6’4, 242 pounds muscle man he is today. The bodybuilder who has won titles such as Mr. Fitness, Mr. Los Angeles and Mr. California was once a 310 pound teenager. “I lost 140 pounds” Sean said. The Pierce College student, at the age of 16 began his journey in fitness. Oliver started working out...

My great grandmother was a strict, cool woman that was never without a hat and a pair of calf-skin gloves. She was impeccably dressed–usually in one of her many designer ensembles that she held in the same esteem as a Rodeo Drive knock off. Her personality was just as sharp as her impossibly high cheekbones and perfectly polished nails....

After a long summer spent filling my passport with long awaited stamps and working at my favorite store K.Sp. *wink* it is time to get back in the journalistic saddle. With the Bull Magazine‘s theme set on “Culture/Subculture” a great many ideas for possible stories were thrown around the newsroom like colored powder on Holi Day in India. Now although I am...
