The October 2021 issue of Khameleon Magazine is here!
Break out the jack-o’-lanterns because spooky season is here. When October hits, there is always an eerie aura that comes with it. I feel everyone’s dark side comes out to play. I tend to think during Halloween season people enjoy breaking the rules a bit and engage in more sinful activities. And nothing is more symbolically sinful than the apple. In a positive lens, we associate the apple as a classic Americana symbol of knowledge and warm apple pie. But in a darker lens, it’s the fruit of temptation. Adam and Eve ate one, Snow White ate one, the list goes on of those whose minds were filled with curiosity on what an apple may bring them when one is eaten.
This month, I’ve have found inspiration through the apple – in beauty with a poison apple color palette, in an apple-infused cocktail recipe perfect for the fall, and as the customary symbol affiliated with this fall’s academia-inspired fashion trend.
This issue also features local Des Moines Peruvian restaurant Panka, tips and tricks on how to host a Halloween Party, a trip to Salem, and the origins of Halloween and traditions of Día de los Muertos.
October is a time to indulge into temptation, be curious and take a little risk and see what happens. As the saying goes, “curiosity killed the cat”. Luckily it’s also said that cats apparently have nine lives. This month, pick your poison on whether you want to be a sinner or a saint.
