WALKING DEAD BEAUTY

ollyanna McIntosh turns heads every time she P walks on set, whether it be as a director, producer, or actor. You may have seen her in the film The Woman, or in her recurring role as Jadis in the The Walking Dead, or a number of indie and foreign movies. The trilingual, Scottish star was raised in Scotland, Portugal, and Colombia before eventually moving to London at the age of 16. As a childhood hobby, she acted in regional theater. Eventually modeling and playing small roles would lead her to begin a degree in theater, an arena in which she would end up producing and directing. After some times in theater, Pollyanna took the next step in her career, “Love took me to LA at 22 and it was there I started auditioning for more film....My first American film was produced and directed by an Emerson graduate: Andrew van den Houten...” Thoroughly enjoying the initial experience, she has since filmed two more movies with van den Houten. She shares, “It’s great to work with people who have been there with me since the start of things.” She has definitely found her niche and feels, ‘if anything defines my career it’s playing weird, off kilter characters.” Although The City of Angels obviously treated Pollyanna well, the The Walking Dead star is no longer living in Los Angeles. “I’ve relocated to Atlanta for the show ‘til the end of the year, so I’m discovering this new city and I love it.”

R5’s

ELLINGTON RATLIFF

entertainment

words by Daniel Larsen

“I grew up in Los Angeles and as a kid, nothing is more of a letdown than when you end up at a healthy restaurant and order some good ol’ pancakes and out comes this nasty multi-grain mushy glob of an excuse for pancakes.” An L.A. native and lover of good pancakes, Ellington Ratliff is most known for being the drummer in the pop rock band, R5. With more than 25 million fans, R5 has performed all over the world alongside bands such as The Chainsmokers, Panic! At The Disco, and Weezer. However, Ellington’s career began long before R5 was formed in 2009. Having descended from a family filled with successful entertainers whose own careers span the likes of film, television, and Broadway, he had his first audition at three months old. The accomplished dancer, actor, and musician describes himself as one who practically came dancing out of the womb. Having collected various film and television credits throughout his youth, Ellington’s passion eventually led him to music. As a man whose heart and soul bleeds music it’s quite befitting that Ellington Ratliff was named for one of the most famed jazz musicians of all time: Duke Ellington. We asked him how he felt about his name: “I like being named after a Jazz Great. It’s a lot to live up to, but at the same time, about every third Starbucks I order on average, I get an ‘Ooo I love that name’. So that’s nice as well.” It was in middle school Ellington discovered his knack for music. “Oddly enough I started on trombone. You could start playing in the school band in 4th grade and I wanted to play the drums. We were friends with the band teacher and he discouraged me from choosing drums, saying it was very boring in the beginning and that I should choose something else and then switch to drums after a couple years. I remembered watching some dude slay

the trombone at some event my parents took me to, so that inspired the choice.” Although he is R5’s drummer, Ellington’s trombone skills never went to waste. On their last album, Sometime Last Night, Ellington shares, “I played trombone on the song “F.e.e.l.g.o.o.d” and with some tuning, it ended up sounding dope.” While spending time with friends and in middle school bands, Ellington began to toy around with writing music. Fast-forward and the Lynch family would eventually see him perform live with his band. Ellington made sure the performance was memorable with some good old-fashioned crowd surfing. He knew the band for about a year before they played together. R5’s need for a drummer and the chemistry between the band and Ellington led them to invite him to join the band in 2009, and the rest is history. Some of you may know Ellington has a fondness for one particular band mate - the beautiful Rydel. Rydel and Ellington have been dating for some time and we can only imagine what it’s like travelling the world and doing what you love with your significant other. Ellington tells us, “We’re more carefree on tour because we have less to worry about. We just make sure we’re at the stage come showtime and everything else is taken care of. We just moved into a house in LA, so we have to deal with adult things together like bills and when to turn on the air conditioning which leads to bickering about stupid stuff. But we’re thankful for our situation and excited at the same time.” It seems as though when they’re not performing in stadiums all over the world, the two are just a normal couple, figuring life out.

AUTUMN SPICE beauty

Put down your pumpkin spice latte – this year the mellow tones of fall are taking a back seat to the exciting and the bold. Makeup’s soft autumnal themes are being replaced with strength. Put your girl power behind a lip that commands attention or an eye that defies convention. You get to choose which way you want it, but Luca girl, this is the time to stand up and be counted.

Deep Into Dressage


103 ur Fall Sports feature is the O beautiful eighteen-yearold Kate Kudelko, an FEI level dressage Young Rider for the USA. She has been riding for almost seven years and owns two lovely horses named Mr. B and Watson. She recently shared with us the details of this beautifully elegant sport. Dressage... She explains, “Competitive dressage is an Olympic sport where a horse and rider combination must perform a premade ‘test’ that contains various rigorous movements within that specific level. A combination may also compete in a musical freestyle, where the riders choreograph their own routine and perform it to their choice of music. ‘Dressage’ comes from French, literally translating to ‘training’, which makes it the basis for relatively every other equestrian sport, from stadium jumping to western pleasure. The goal of dressage training is to essentially create a supple, fit, and trustworthy horse through the use of various gymnastic exercises.” Once a rider gets a basic riding education, they will usually split off into whatever particular equestrian discipline clicks with them the best, “Some prefer the high adrenaline rush found in stadium jumping and cross country, while others, like myself, prefer to stay on the ground and work on mechanics.” Many spectators consider dressage to be a form of dance between a horse and its rider, an aesthetic experience that is indefinitely a hidden gem. Beginnings... Kate become involved with horses back in 2011 when her family purchased her first horse named Watson, a little paint horse

who was saved from an auction by a wonderful woman. She started doing dressage shortly after getting Watson. She laughs, “When I say that we started from ground zero, I actually mean more like ground-negative 20. I had only been riding for two months and Watson had very minimal dressage training, so the combination was quite the spectacle. We initially were not very successful in our showing career, despite the fact we were competing at the lowest possible level.” Although friends and barnmates advised her to sell Watson for a “real” dressage horse, she chose instead to keep trying with him. Six and a half years later, he has blossomed into a competitive upper level dressage horse, has

placed 3rd at regionals back in 2014, and is helping Kate earn her USDF Bronze medal. She credits Watson and her amazing trainer for where she is today in her riding career. Training... At the moment, Kate is riding roughly 5 days a week and working out on the side so that she can stay in enough shape to keep up with her horses’ fitness. Three of those days she rides with both Mr. B and Watson, the other two are just with Mr. B. She takes one lesson per week with her trainer and participates in clinics with other reputable trainers in the area every several months.
