It\u2019s purely a sample of all that\u2019s to come! We have dedicated this edition to the artist. You will get to learn about many wonderfully talented artists in several different styles of media that I will expand on.<\/p>\n<p>As before we are featuring fashion, music, design, travel and culinary. We\u2019re going to India, and I\u2019m going to tell you a little about my trip to Korea! Our fashion portion is stunning and will wow you when you see the newly designed array of fashions that David Tupaz and friends have come up with this season. And you get to meet our beautiful cover model Corazon Ugalde Yelen Armenta.<\/p>\n<p>Our music section features the continued saga of the new release Las Vegas Suite. Brian Thornton will take us on a tour of the newly opened European Kitchen and Bath showroom inside the Las Vegas Design Center here in Las Vegas. Take a trip to NYC and visit the Steinway factory that our youngest contributor, Roxy Jones, will tell us about and I\u2019m going to tell you about a friend who travels the world with UFC.<\/p>\n<p>Before you move on to this awesome edition, let me tell you a little about my recent trip to Korea. I spent most of my visit in South Korea but was able to make a visit to the DMZ. Seoul is a beautiful and extremely large city and portions of the city reflect its growth. Not too far up from Seoul is the DMZ (Demilitarized Military Zone). The road is filled with barbed wire fences and when you arrive at the actual border it is very interesting to be able to peer over in North Korea. It was definitely a very worthwhile trip to the Zone.<\/p>\n<p>Most of my time was spent in a relatively \u201cnew\u201d city, Songdo, which is basically a suburb of Incheon, which is a suburb of Seoul. If you haven\u2019t been and ever have the opportunity to check out Korea, I would recommend it.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Stearns will take you on a magical tour of India. His many adventures and actual meeting with the Maharaja are delightful and the photos will intrigue you.<\/p>\n<p>The Arts District in Las Vegas has so many multi-talented participants and we are so happy to share work and stories with you about four awesome participants. I had the pleasure to meet Deana Khoshhaba, Alexander Huerta, Phyllis Pezzella and Dray Wilmore.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in this issue you\u2019ll learn about the fascinating Pahrump Valley Winery. We then visit the newest hot spot of eateries in Las Vegas called Hexxed with Janice Marie Wilson. While we are on the Strip, we visit diptyque, a new perfumery inside the beautiful Shoppes at the Wynn. We learned about the art of makeup from Judith August. Writer Joan Peck introduces us to sculptor Stacey Jacobson, artist and designer Deborah Pittman and silk painter, Suzanne Silk.<\/p>\n<p>So, sit back, relax and enjoy the world of Chic Compass.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:9%;--awb-padding-right:9%;--awb-padding-bottom:9%;--awb-padding-left:9%;--awb-bg-color:#0c0c0d;--awb-bg-color-hover:#0c0c0d;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content-centered\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1021],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-issue-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chiccompass.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
