Photographer Filippo Del Vita's image was inspired by Takeshi Kitano's "Dolls" -
a tale of two lovers that
draws parallels to our message. Photo collection appeared in a previous issue of
Salon City Magazine.
A Conscious Choice
"Beauty or Cruelty"
Salon City Editor's Message
By Steven & Annie Casciola
Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon offer us a true opportunity to rethink
the way we choose to react to
a star's passing and to speak of their life accomplishments.
We can choose to watch media - like the BET Awards that project the beautiful contributions
of these icons - or we can choose to focus on media where a more cruel-like message
repeats a daily dosage of a star's darker, painful moments.
We pass no judgement on anyone, regardless of the choice. But choices have consequences
- and they say more about who we are than the actual person we may be talking about.
Michael Jackson
"You and I must make a pact. We must bring salvation back. Where there is Love,
I'll be there."
MichaelJackson [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102624396789&s=14280&e=001GCAXImtF_LU8hx4BvrRsF1kspqJBEd1f_dSaWFjhBI0VuiAvV616PpyeR6I5fQlTHV-R-y_-_llUU1rsdWbBAD4MBzPDOM_hgfcFhYbtQpA4r6OPyhTAsQ==]When
stars like Michael first began singing, most of us could only be their fans. We
didn't have You Tube, Facebook and Twitter to express our own ideas with.
Today, we have all become content-creators just like the stars we are following.
We can express our comments freely. We say what we want, when we want and to whom
we want - even if it's unsubstantiated and hurts someone.
Unlike the profound lyrics created by stars like Michael, talk is cheap for some
people. There are no
paparazzi following them every minute of the day and night - or someone trying to
grab a piece of their fortune by
suing them with lawsuits that create expensive, messy and long-lasting trials negatively
played out in front of the world. Yet, through it all, gifted artists try to keep
the balance and beauty in their hearts and minds. Most chose beauty and we are the
better for it.
"Yes, stars can get addicted. But so can viewers with
their daily dose of soulless mass media.
Both can numb you to real life."
Farrah Fawcett
FarrahFawcett_5 [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102624396789&s=14280&e=001GCAXImtF_LU8hx4BvrRsF1kspqJBEd1f_dSaWFjhBI0VuiAvV616PpyeR6I5fQlTHV-R-y_-_llUU1rsdWbBAD4MBzPDOM_hgfcFhYbtQpA4r6OPyhTAsQ==]So
many are becoming insatiable consumers of mass media's dummy-downed language of
quick sound bites and 10-second content. They are also getting used to the addicting
new style of this slick and powerful sensationalism.
Mass media can be like a drug that makes you want more and more of it each day.
Some have given permission to mass media to play them. Others have figured out how
to play media back with their own bold content. Of these, there are those who find
more pleasure in talking trash than about someone's beauty. There are those who
say that viewers will not watch a good story as much as a bad one. That may be true
sometimes, but not in all cases. Again, it's about personal choice.
There is a price for this type of sensationalistic content, and we're paying for
it in a number of ways in our communities - too many to mention here. But we can
turn it around. The key is to place beauty, wellness and balance as a first priority
- economically, environmentally, educationally, socially, in media and spiritually.
"We can choose to elevate the level
of beauty in our communication."
Ed McMahon
EdMcMahon2 [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102624396789&s=14280&e=001GCAXImtF_LU8hx4BvrRsF1kspqJBEd1f_dSaWFjhBI0VuiAvV616PpyeR6I5fQlTHV-R-y_-_llUU1rsdWbBAD4MBzPDOM_hgfcFhYbtQpA4r6OPyhTAsQ==]People
are beginning to listen more deeply and sharing social networking time more wisely.
That's a positive step. Many are expressing kinder, more compassionate and positive
thoughts about stars and the timeless gifts they've given society.
Beautymakers know this. After all, they create the legendary looks of the stars
we love. They are a part of their inner circles and contribute to their message
and public persona.
They do not find satisfaction in raising their stars'
personas up a pole, to be prodded and poked at by pseudo-pundits
hired by mass media to show slicker, but often soulless, reflections of
beauty.
Beautymakers have chosen to hold back on any temptation to exploit an artist they
helped be more beautiful. True Beautymakers choose to honor the life of an artist
with beauty -- always.
Yes, this is the state of media, fans and pop culture today. The best and worst.
"We're turning the tide for better,
more beautiful media."
There are media organizations that are choosing to take a higher, nobler road. They
are featuring beauty over cruelty in the content they create. We applaud their direction
and admire the fact that they can still create entertaining content.
Choose beauty over cruelty. In your heart of hearts, isn't this the best way to
honor the incredible artistry of stars like Michael, Ed and Farrah? We say yes.
"We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So lets start giving."

readers take time to reflect
on the ideas and thoughts presented in our emails and publications. For that
matter, any good message from any magazine.

have truly begun to do your part in creating the next wave of our
American Dream and success. And going forward, we welcome you to the ever-evolving
world at Salon City; where the adventure begins daily. BE! Well!

About Photographer Filippo Del Vita:
My "Dolls" image ( seen above ) - which appeared in a previous issue of Salon City
magazine - was inspired by Takeshi Kitano's movie "Dolls". The original story is
very dramatic and related to Japanese culture. As an Italian living in New York
City, I wanted to show a lighter story - but still with a sad end. The two are in
love. They are happy together and enjoying the green environment around them. But
nothing in this world lasts forever. Soon the trees will lose their leaves and the
colors will change. It will be the end of the love, but there is a hope - after
the fall and the winter, the spring will come back again.
About Takeshi Kitano's "Dolls" [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102624396789&s=14280&e=001GCAXImtF_LWtm5b5pc0lNcqJcCTr0-Y9RE-inF6GTFdWd37HFXOX2Cs9gzkIq5e0iP1iZUD2MZBoY_tO3281RMeHJ-AVnlnPNp5vpfKdX5SHOFAHYef6D8wduH8mxmE7ThRf3FZU38KPn0RkpUwy4w==]

There aren't many movies more visually beautiful than Takeshi Kitano's odd, but
moving "Dolls." The rich red and gold of autumn foliage, luscious pink cherry blossoms,
and white, glimmering winter snow: Kitano trails a lost, enigmatic young couple's
journey through the seasons. The man keeps his partner on a leash, a long red cord,
to keep her from wandering away; the girl's failed suicide attempt binds them together
forever, ironically after he has broken off the engagement to marry a woman he does
not love. Kitano interweaves this tragic tale with two other elegiac stories. In
one, a woman brings lunch to a park for over three decades, waiting for a lost
love to return. In the third, a disfigured pop star is followed by a devoted fan
who would go to any length for the chance to meet her. - Written by Jurgen Fauth
