2K18 PLAYLIST:
REGGAETON
I
f you’ve ever had a friend study abroad,
you know that once they return they are
particularly intolerable because they
never shut up about how amazing those
few months were. After spending a semester
studying in Spain, I am essentially obliga-
ted to tell everyone that the Spaniards do
everything better than anyone else. While I
was there one of the most glaringly obvious
things they do better is pop music – specifi-
cally, reggaeton.
The genre actually originated in Puerto Rico
in 1991, becoming known as “underground”
music because of the venues that played it.
It wasn’t until 2004 that reggaeton began
reaching America and Europe, largely thanks
to artists like Shakira and Daddy Yankee.

Reggaeton has a whole lot more than just
Justin Bieber’s “Despacito.” It essentially
dominates not only the airwaves, but the
club and bar scenes throughout Spain as
well. While nearly everyone abroad listens
to American music, Americans who listen
to music from other nationalities are much
harder to find. Part of this is because of
our enormously successful entertainment
industry – there doesn’t seem to be a need to
explore outside of our Spotify daily mixes.
While occasionally a reggaeton hit will make
it to the radio in the States, like “Despacito”
or some other Daddy Yankee song, we are
missing a ton of equally entertaining tracks
by limiting ourselves to these few.

BY GABRIELLA SAITTA
Women with bodacious curves deserve to
feel proud and stunning in what they wear.
So why are bathing-suits over the size of
10 so conservative? The average American
woman wears a size 16-18, yet time after time,
women everywhere are left feeling frustrated
and shameful while shopping, especially for
swimwear. Super model Hunter McGrady
takes action on the matter! It’s about damn
time we gave curvy women bathing-suits that
show off their beautiful bodies. Finally, the
sexy plus-size swimwear collection we’ve all
been waiting for by Hunter McGrady!
Like many women, Hunter McGrady found
herself feeling awful and disappointed with
her swimwear options, summer after summer.
She confesses that she felt cheated by the
fashion industry. Why were her friends able
to easily find the perfect, sexy bathing-suits?
Why should women above a certain size
have to cover up their curves that many of
us would kill to have? Well, instead of rolling
over to the pressures of society to cover up
with the options available, Hunter McGrady
went ahead and created her own dazzling,
sultry options.
