Stunna Girl – CRN

Rapper and television personality, Stunna Girl (@stunnagirl), remains a force to be reckoned with. Her unapologetic and edgy style resonates with fans far and wide. Her newest single “Courtesy of a Rich N*gga” (“CRN”) is out now accompanied by a music video. The song is a testament to her confidence and self-made attitude, featuring bars that celebrate a lavish, luxury lifestyle. With a smooth, catchy hook and lyrics honoring her supportive man, Stunna Girl’s signature raw lyricism takes center stage, making this track a must-listen. Listen to “CRN” here.

“This song was inspired by my husband and how he spoils me,” Stunna Girl says of the new single. “But also myself and how ima boss on my own. The record is real player. It’s for people who grind like myself and have a companion who matches their fly.”

Stunna Girl burst onto the scene with her viral hit “Runway,” amassing an impressive 15 million views on YouTube, and her latest sensation, “Like Dat,“ boasts over 7.3 million views on YouTube. Notably, the track has received two remixes, one featuring French Montana and the other JT of the City Girls. “Wake Dis Shit Up,” featuring Mozzy, is another hit, where the two Californian artists effortlessly deliver their distinctive, self-assured flows over an uptempo beat.

In early 2023, Stunna Girl graced the screens of the Zeus Network’s popular reality show, Baddies West, quickly winning over the hearts of viewers and becoming a fan-favorite. Throughout the season, fans had the opportunity to witness her authentic and unwavering spirit, a reflection of the passion that stems from her music.

Now, she’s pursuing music full-time. Stunna Girl’s rise to stardom is directly a reflection of her relentless work ethic and resilience. Her musical journey draws inspiration from her upbringing and her escape from the streets of Sacramento. Alongside her new single, “CRN,” Stunna Girl has her sights set on the release of a highly-anticipated album, poised to further solidify her status as a rising star who’s elevating with every release.

The Hunger Games

Geffen Records will release The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (Music From & Inspired By) — the official soundtrack to the highly anticipated new film in The Hunger Games saga arriving the same day as the movie’s release. Go HERE to pre-save/pre-add The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (Music From & Inspired By).

Last Friday marked the premiere of “The Hanging Tree,” the first song released from the soundtrack. In the upcoming film (a prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy), audiences will witness the origin of the storied song when Lucy Gray Baird (Zegler) sings it for the very first time. Also heard in the second official trailer for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, “The Hanging Tree” has been passed down through generations and was previously performed by Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.

View the featurette HERE to go behind-the-scenes with THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES director Francis Lawrence, producer Nina Jacobson and executive music producer Dave Cobb as they discuss the creative process for the film’s original songs. This exclusive new look at the music of the film shows how filmmakers, composer James Newton Howard, and Rachel Zegler “Lucy Gray Baird” bring the songs from Suzanne Collins’ bestselling novel to life, with previously unseen footage.

The latest release in the blockbuster franchise based on the novels by Suzanne Collins, THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES takes place 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical president of Panem. Directed by Francis Lawrence (who also directed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Parts 1 and 2), the new film stars Zegler alongside Tom Blyth, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman, and Viola Davis.

THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.

Unlocking the Power

of Health in Transit

By: Dr. Dana Cohen, M.D., author of “Quench”

When it comes to maintaining optimal health and well-being, how you fuel yourself while on the road plays a crucial role. For the avid traveler, understanding the connection between what you consume and the immune system’s ability to fend off virus infections is paramount for smooth sailing.

The Nutritional Foundation of Immune Resilience

Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense against infections, and it relies on a balanced intake of essential nutrients to function optimally. For travelers seeking to bolster their immune systems and protect against viral infections, the right nutrition and supplementation is key. Foods high in antioxidants, such as colorful fruits and vegetables, provide the body with the tools it needs to combat viruses and maintain overall health. Consider adding these immune-boosting foods to your travel diet:

Citrus Fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are packed with vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that supports immune function. Vitamin C can help your body fend off infections and reduce the duration and severity of illnesses. If you have a difficult time finding fresh citrus fruit when traveling, take packets of vitamin C powder with you to mix in water or try vitamin C chewable supplements that can be taken without water. 

Mushrooms: Particularly varieties like shiitake and maitake mushrooms, are renowned for their immune-boosting properties. They contain compounds like alpha-glucans and beta-glucans that can stimulate and enhance the activity of immune cells, helping the body’s defense mechanisms operate at their best. The most effective way to reap the immunity benefits of mushrooms is through supplementation. You can unleash your immune system’s ability to fight viruses like high-risk HPV infections, COVID-19 and flu strains with AHCC® supplementation. Derived from shiitake mushroom mycelia, this naturally cultured extract has undergone extensive research, with over 30 human clinical studies and 50 papers in Indexed MEDLINE journals supporting its efficacy.

Green Juices: Packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like leafy greens, cucumbers, and celery, offer a refreshing and convenient way to boost immune health while staying hydrated during travel. These juices are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can fortify the immune system, helping your body fend off potential infections. Additionally, their high-water content helps combat dehydration, a common concern during travel, ensuring you stay energized and revitalized while on the go. 

Empowering On-The-Go Health

For those who love to travel, understanding the influence of diet on immune function is key to unlocking your full health potential while on the go. By incorporating immune-boosting foods like citrus fruits, mushrooms, green juices, and considering supplements like vitamin C and AHCC, you can take proactive steps to support your immune system no matter where you go!

ANDREW HOPKINS ART

Unknown Caller

On view at Robin Gibson Gallery
28 October – 18 November 2023

Opening Saturday, October 28, 3-5pm

Sydney NSW 2010 Australia

My compositions often start with bursts of color and paint, building into slow and considered finished works which often relate to place. Forms develop and evolve within the layering of paint, through a process of revisions, reprisals, and counterattacks. I use the line of the horizon in all my paintings as a ‘stage’ for the paint – to mirror the rhythm of clouds, set against a collage of a memory of the urban landscape. — Andrew Hopkins

Andrew Hopkins is a Sydney based artist who completed his BFA at the National Art School Sydney in 2009. He was a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Traveling Scholarship in 2016 and 2017 and a finalist in the William Fletcher Biennial Traveling Fellowship Residency at the British School at Rome in 2013. His works are held in numerous private & corporate collections, including Allens Sydney.

The Pearl Cullinan

‘The Pearl Cullinan’ was commissioned in early 2022 by a longstanding Rolls-Royce client to mark his father’s 90th birthday. Regional Director, César Habib, and Bespoke Lead Designer Michelle Lusby was originally introduced to the father with the purpose of understanding his passions and life story; these meetings provided valuable insights to inform the design direction for the commission.

BESPOKE PEARL ROSE EXTERIOR FINISH

The Bespoke Pearl Rose finish is inspired by the color of the owner’s most prized pearl in his extensive, world-class collection and is reserved exclusively for this motor car: it will not be available to any other client in future. Paint specialists at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood
used carefully selected pigments to replicate a delicate hint of pink rarely found in natural pearls. Unusually, the paint combines both metallic and pearlescent effects to give exceptional depth and luster.

Perfecting the finish required around 30 different iterations, each applied to a full-sized body panel. These were pre-checked under daylight simulation lamps in the Atelier at Goodwood, then
sent to the client to make sure the color was correct when viewed under the Middle Eastern sun.

The paint also underwent extensive technical testing to ensure it will remain unaltered by heat or UV light over its lifetime.

The Pearl Rose finish is complemented with a single coachline, applied by hand in Rose Gold paint, to match the rose gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. The rose gold theme also extends to the bespoke treadplates, which are revealed on each of the four door sills upon opening.

INTERIOR: THE ART OF PRESENTATION

The interior of ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ features two different leather colors. The front seats – where the father prefers to travel as a passenger – are finished in his favorite Cashmere Grey. In
reference to the family’s heritage, the rear seats are trimmed in Ardent Red, which takes inspiration from the color of the material on which pearls are presented to customers, to best highlight their subtle natural colour variations. In a similar vein, the burr walnut veneer echoes the wooden presentation boxes in which pearls are traditionally handed over to customers upon purchase.

Bespoke embroidery detailing includes ‘RR’ monograms in Rose Gold thread on the headrests and rear seat inserts in Grace White, inspired by the symmetrical growth patterns of an oyster
shell and angled at the same precise 55 degrees as the veneer.

A CELEBRATION OF MOTHER-OF-PEARL

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is delighted to present ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ – a magnificent, one-of-one Bespoke motor car commissioned by the owner’s family to mark a significant birthday. It is also the first Bespoke project to be revealed by the Private Office Dubai, which works with local
Dealer Partners to bring the authentic Goodwood experience to clients across the Middle East region.

‘The Pearl Cullinan’ features the most extensive use of mother-of-pearl ever seen in a Rolls-Royce motor car. The natural variations of this beautiful material created opportunities and challenges
in equal measure for the marque’s designers and craftspeople.

This is particularly apparent with the detailed design of the rear Picnic Tables. The upper surface features an intricate, circular pattern inspired by traditional Arabic design that draws the eye inwards to a central point. Each tabletop is then inlaid with 1,351 separate pieces of mother-of-
pearl, everyone individually selected and placed by hand in the surrounding burr walnut marquetry and sealed with clear lacquer. The natural shade and color differences in both the
mother-of-pearl and the wood mean each tabletop is a unique work of art.

The burr walnut fascia incorporates an exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay inspired by traditional Middle Eastern art. At its center is the Arabic word for ‘father,’ inlaid in stainless steel. In a first
for Rolls-Royce, the bespoke dashboard clock is set in a mother-of-pearl surround; the dial and hands are in rose gold. The center rotary dial is also finished with mother-of-pearl, giving it a
tactile, jewel-like quality. Above the occupants, the Bespoke Starlight Headliner shows the sky as it appeared on the night and at the very place the commissioning client’s father was born.

Michelle Lusby, Bespoke Lead Designer at the Private Office Dubai, said, “For me, there was a huge emotional connection with this Bespoke project. I had the privilege of spending time with the commissioning family, which allowed me to discuss details of the design directly with them and really understand their true significance. Their unique use of mother-of-pearl was a great creative and technical challenge for us: to see the picnic tables go from my original digital designs to those beautiful, highly detailed finished works of art was fantastic. This is a truly
special commission in so many ways, and a project we aspire to have as Rolls-Royce designers. Emotions inspire our imaginations.”
