ADRIAN GONZALES
Though this photographer can be reserved at first, get to know him and he might demonstrate his fiercest model moves. He would rather not compete with his subjects in a Blue Steel pose-off, but behind the camera, Adrian gets all the best angles. See for yourself in our Block Party (96), with plenty of clothes for the bros to ogle. In particular, Adrian is eyeing the lobster shirt. Good luck to anyone who wants to fight him over it, by the way; Adrian knows judo.

TINETTE HERRERA
Fairy faces, high ponytails, bronze tans, and finger waves— Tinette delivers. For this issue, our trusty gal pal did hair and makeup for fashion editorial “Lady Labyrinth” (54) as well as our Block Party (96) pages. We think Nicki Minaj would be proud, Tinette brings a touch of Barbie to every shoot—from her pink carryall with her collection of pink iPhone cases and pink accessories, down to the pink peeptoes. And if you ask her why, “Pink is cute and sexy combined.”

NIKKIE PO
Meet the other Nikkie on the cover this month. Her electrifying illustrations translate Nicki Minaj’s multifaceted characteristics into titles that are tripping, flipping, and so belligerent. Dear old Nikkie’s art reflects her own personality: spontaneous, bright, and full of energy. Our former art director brings her HYFR philosophy everywhere, whether she’s designing logos, taking tequila shots, hitting the dance floor, or ordering McNuggets right before passing out. She’s a woman, hear her roar.

LORIS PEÑA
This month, wish a happy birthday to STATUS’ very own fashion dragon lady. Yup, Loris’ hot-blooded flair is blazin’ and fly like a monster do. A hundred mother lovers can’t tell this self-professed Nicki Minaj (84) nut to slow down. When Loris hops in the race, she dominates all avenues. She can be stylin’ in dainty Orientalism one day and show up in hood rat luxe the next; it’s all about that young money attitude. So don’t miss the fashions in our Swag section (62) and our opulent “Lady Labyrinth” story (54), okay?
Nicki Nicki Nicki, put it on my army.
