Why Debate?
Born out of political necessity, public debates for the highest office in the land began as largely ad hoc events but have become critical national tests of a candidate's ability to convey their message and avoid potential verbal pitfalls.
Candidates trailing in the polls or confident in their abilities have always proposed debates in an effort to gain an edge over a competitor. But as the mass media of radio and television emerged, the debates took on new importance.
One of the earliest presidential debates involved the 1948 Oregon Republican primary. New York Governor Thomas Dewey and former Minnesota Governor Harold Stassen debated outlawing the Communist Party in the U.S. Somewhere between 40 to 80 million listened to the first and only presidential debate to focus on one issue.
Eight years later the first televised presidential primary debate took place in Florida. Adlai Stevenson, former Illinois governor, and Estes Kefauver, former Tennessee senator, debated a range of topics as they competed for the Democratic nod.
But it was the presidential debate of 1960 is when the rules changed. By the time the Kennedy-Nixon debates were over, the power and potential importance of political debates seemed clear, as did the potential dangers of performing poorly. But the growing influence of the televised spectacle sent a chill through the presidential campaigns and it would be 16 years before they emerged again.
When, in 1976, the debates did reappear, the organization leading the charge was the League of Women Voters. Founded in 1920, the league sponsored regular debates between candidates for a variety of offices. The organization had been founded as an outgrowth of the women's suffrage movement, to help 20 million new voters carry out their civic responsibilities. In 1928, half hour debates were broadcast by NBC radio once a week for 10 months preceding the election.
As the League of Women Voters accepted the responsibility of organizing and running the debates, the pressure mounted.
"The moment we announced our criteria for candidate participation, we were fair game for alternative suggestions by political pundits and by the candidates as well," League of Women Voters chair Ruth Hinerfeld wrote in 1980. "We were advised to limit the debates to the major party candidates. We were urged to set a threshold higher -- or lower -- than the 15-percent mark we established for independent or minor party participation."
That year, intense bickering and political maneuvering between the major candidates resulted in one debate between Gov. Ronald Reagan and independent candidate Rep. John Anderson and another between Reagan and President Jimmy Carter.
"We have been disap pointed by the major party candidates' reluctance to face the American people," Hinerfeld wrote.
Amidst the controversy over controlling the guidelines, several panels conducted studies about the debates and concluded that an independent debate sponsor should be established. The Commission on Presidential Debates was created in 1987 and in 1988, the League bowed out of its decade of hosting presidential debates.
The debate commission, a bipartisan non-profit organization, accepts no money from the government or political parties, but raises funds from independent sources.
In order to participate in a commission debate, candidates must establish their constitutional eligibility for office, sufficient ballot access to be able to secure an Electoral College majority, and the support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate.
Preparing for the Debate
To do well in a televised presidential debate, the candidate has historically needed an ability to clearly express their ideas and goals while appearing poised and confident in front of an auditorium full or people and tens of millions of viewers at home.
With the exception of long-shot independent candidate John Anderson, who said he only reviewed policy before his debate, candidates have undergone intense programs of reviewing policies and honing their skills ahead of their debate.
One of the first step of preparing for a debate is anticipating the questions. In 1976, Jimmy Carter was sure he would be asked about his recent interview with Playboy.
"I was prepared for the question," he said in an interview with Jim Lehrer. "I thought the best way to handle it was to say well, I'm sorry that the interview came out, but I couldn't deny that the answers in Playboy were my own answers." By being ready for the question, President Carter was able to use the debate to put a very troubling issue behind him.
George H.W. Bush's team tried to predict the types of questions each journalist would ask. "Now this guy, you got Bernie Shaw on the panel and here's what he's probably gonna ask you. You got Leslie Stahl over here and she's known to go for this and that," President Bush told Jim Lehrer.
His prepping team then crafted the right answer that would satisfy the specific questioner.
After deciding which issues to focus on, staff members at the campaigns prepared briefing materials that were thoroughly reviewed by the candidates. This gave them the facts to draw from during the debates and helped them formulate succinct statements expressing their views.
President Ford said the briefings were extremely useful. "My staff put together two or three volumes of possible questions and suggested responses. I spent several days, if not more, going through the several volumes that they had arranged, and then we would have sort of preparatory debates where members of my staff would ask me questions and I would respond. That kind of preparation was very helpful, very valuable in anticipating what the various panel members would ask during the debates," he told Jim Lehrer.
But candidates did run into trouble by preparing too much. Many people thought President Ronald Reagan was tired and "out of it" during his first debate with Walter Mondale in 1984. But according to Reagan, he was over-trained.
"I just had more facts and figures poured at me for weeks than anyone could possibly sort out and use, and I call it overtraining. When I got there, I realized that I wracking my brain so much for facts and figures on whatever subject we were talking about, that I knew I didn't do well." Reagan was much more relaxed and persuasive in the second debate and he credits his performance to less training.
Sometimes the preparation did not have the desired effect. Dole's statement in the 1976 vice presidential debate that characterized all twentieth century wars as Democratic wars was derived from material in his briefing books.
"I had a stack of briefing notes about two feet high, which I think is the greatest about the debates is preparation because you have a chance to review everything and it really keeps you going in on the campaign. But, you know, that was in the briefing book, which I received from the Ford people, the national committee, and I guess I should have exercised my own judgment," Dole said.
His comments, widely seen as highly negative and inflammatory, helped tar Dole as an "attack dog" and made his 1996 run for the White House that much harder.
Practice debates are also a key part of debate planning for most candidates. These sessions were often taped and then critiqued by the candidates and their staffs. This allowed candidates to become more comfortable with the debate format so that they could better control how they were perceived by voters.
In 1984, Mondale and his debate adviser, Mike Soveran, the president of Columbia University practiced for days. Soveran played Reagan and they had a fake news panel. They set up lecterns in Mondale's home.
"We had a video tape as we'd look at things, and we mapped out a strategy for what approach I wanted to take, what questions are liable to come up and so on," he told Jim Lehrer. They also watched tapes of past debates.
To prepare to debate Senator Dole in 1996, President Clinton prepped with former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. "Mitchell was ruthless. I mean, the first time - the first debate we had in the preparation session he just killed me. You know, I walked in there; he had been preparing for weeks. He'd really done his homework, and I just kind of read the book in a cursory way, and he literally beat my brains out. I mean, it was - it was ruthless. They should have called it TKO before it was over and - so, we practiced and practiced and practiced, and I was - you know - ready to do whatever," he told Jim Lehrer.
Vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro found the whole process tiring.
"If you ask me a question, don't tell me what the question is in advance, cause I'd rather not know. I'd rather give you a spontaneous direct response to it. I also lose interest if I have to go over and over and over again because it looks to me if you're practicing it becomes artificial. So I just find the whole process very tedious," she said.
In the end, most of the candidates studied and practiced. Their carefully honed and memorized answers flow out of the candidates, but in the end it is often the unexpected moments of the debate that have lived on in the memories of the participants and the voters.

And if I could just interrupt you right now [but, of course]: to me that's the key. It's good because it shows these young people that you're talking to that with a little hard work, it doesn't matter where you came from, you can make it. And that's why you hope to see them on the bench. I totally appreciate that.
I don't know about you–and by you I mean the one person who might read this–I cringe any time I hear a white dude talking to a person of color about working hard and making it. I've written about Sotomayor and bootstraps before, but I just need to reiterate. Kyl's assertion that the recipe for success in this country is "a little hard work" plays right into this Ben Franklin, et. el.-inspired notion that that's how people get ahead in life. How American. But that kind of thinking obscures biases and institutional barriers that folks, who probably don't look anything like Jon Kyl, have to contend with every day. It assumes, for instance, that a little hard work can override an educational system in shambles, garner one a decent SAT score, and admission into college. It assumes that poor circumstances are the result of poor effort. It supposes that a little hard work can outdo racism or sexism or any other -ism that reinforces white supremacy. Believing this kind of stuff doesn't leave one time to critically examine the cohort of folks sitting in front of Sotomayor asking her questions. It sounds nice, but it evades what's really going on.
But I get it. This is something we all really want to believe. We want to think that we determine our success–or failure. We want to feel that if we just buckle down and grind it out, good things will come. That's comforting. It's nice to think that we got the job, into grad school, the promotion, or have money because of our deeds; that we deserve it. We want to identify with Sotomayor's story, because it makes us forget and not have to contend with the folks before her who didn't make it, and the folks after who won't. Those whose hard work never really seem to be enough. We don't want the disconcerting thought(s) that even if we follow the(ir) rules, and play the game with diligence that success can be elusive to some and an arbitrary stroke of luck to others. Thinking like that can be a real bummer. But what's the alternative? Believing George Bush worked his way into the White House?
And what drooling over Sotomayor's bootstraps and Obama's Horatio Alger remixes speeches about folks working hard, going to college, getting jobs, owning homes gets us is a pleasant case of amnesia. No one wants to remember that in capitalism, someone always has to lose, and when you couple that with a system dedicated to disenfranchising people of color, most of the losers will have melanin. That's the part that they want you to forget: that it's a competition, and that not everyone can make it, not even with a little hard work.
The other day, I read an article about Obama's highly touted campaign speech on race. Adam Mansbach writes, "The essence of white privilege is not knowing you have it; white people in America are bicyclists riding with the wind at their backs, never realizing that they owe part of their speed – whatever speed that is – to forces beyond their control. By no means does this guarantee success. But few whites are conditioned to contemplate how much worse off they might be if they had to grapple with factors like police profiling and housing discrimination, in addition to the other travails of being [a white] American[.]" Jon Kyl appreciates the rhetoric of hard work because it provides him with the energy to just keep peddling without having to stop and think about the wind helping him along, or how that same wind challenges the efforts of other bikers–you know, the ones who have bikes. He keeps taking that blue pill–because he can afford health care.
I think I just needed to say all of this aloud, to remind myself (and maybe others), because getting excited about seeing the "first [insert a non-white, male, and privileged identity here] person to [something a bunch of white guys have done before] may lull us into forgetting to keep our eyes on the ball. (Remember November?) It's really easy call to Sotomayor an exception to the rule without thinking about how she symbolically reinforces them. And sometimes it's really difficult to discern whether or not the tellers believe their story.
Or maybe I overdosed on red pills.

Drafting a roadmap for a climate-altered world
I was delighted back in May to receive an email from Andy Revkin letting me know he was coming to Ireland in early June and offering to meet up for a chat when he was in Dublin. We spent a very pleasant couple of hours in a city centre café one Sunday morning, where we were joined by environmental broadcaster, Duncan Stewart for an animated conversation. Afterwards, myself and Andy headed across to Stephen's Green and found a quiet spot where I recorded an interview with him on his thoughts and insights after more than three decades in the front line of climate and environmental reportage. Below, is the interview, as carried on the Life Science page of the Irish Times in early July (since this was recorded, Andy has taken on a new role as head of a new communications initiative at Columbia University)
ANDREW Revkin is an acclaimed US science and environment writer who has reported on the climate crisis since the late 1980s for the New York Times, Discover magazine and ProPublica. Author of several award-winning books, in 2018 Revkin joined the National Geographic Society as strategic adviser for environmental and science journalism. He is also a musician and song writer.
Revkin was in Wexford recently to speak at a symposium on clean cooking in the developing world, and sat down to discuss climate science, communicating global heating and how best to have the conversation about building a sustainable world.
JG: You've been on the science and climate reporting beat for over 30 years. What has and what hasn't changed in that time?
AR: So, half of my life has been exploring this question of how we build a sustainable relationship with the planet around us and with each other, mostly on climate, and the situation seems pretty screwed up. The story has been the same, essentially, since I was writing on it in the 1980s. We're adding gases to the atmosphere that don't dissipate quickly.
We're warming the planet, and there's lots of consequences. It's very hard to turn that back. The gas is cumulative. I tell my friends in America it's like thinking that if you slow your spending on your credit card, and you have a big debt, that your debt goes away. It's a building problem. The thing that's been the hardest for me to realise is that the issue is bigger than a pollution problem.
JG: Like the ozone hole in the 1980s?
AR: Well, ozone was this hopeful example. I think that lulled some of us into thinking, well CO2, CFCs, what's the difference? But there's a huge difference. The CO2 problem is so firmly linked to economies because, essentially, fossil fuels still underpin about 85 per cent of the global energy menu, even now 30 years after where we were in the 1980s. And that means the story is different. It's just profoundly bigger. And that's what has made it hard for me to figure out new paths to conveying that.
JG: You've looked at science communications, rather than just the science, moving from science reporting to looking at how we as humans work. Can you discuss that?
AR: It took me 18 years of climate reporting, in which I was just describing the thing, CO2, warming, sea level, blah, blah, blah, treaty law, end of story. And it wasn't until 2006 that I started talking to behavioural and social scientists. And that was my OMG moment as a journalist. Because what do we do as journalists? We convey information with the assumption that doing that will make the world change. And the social and behavioural scientists were saying: well it's more complicated than that. Information many times doesn't matter. What is more horrifying to journalists than that? And I started digging in on that [behavioural] science and it feels like that can lead you into paralysis too. But it actually leads to lots of opportunities for progress.
JG: Did that insight lead to you setting up the Dot Earth blog with the New York Times?
AR: Yes, and the blog ran for nine years (2006-2015) and 2,800 posts, and 100,000 comments that I had to mediate. To me what was valuable about the blog was that it's an engaged conversation heading in a direction. It's not about telling the world that I as a journalist know anything.
And it's also different than a journalist doing a story where you quote person X, and you quote person Y, and then you're done. On an issue like how do we develop a sustainable relationship with the planet as we head toward nine billion people by 2050? That's not a single-story question. It's not even a series. It has to be a conversation.
JG: Politics in the US has changed quite dramatically since Trump's election in 2016. As a long-time reporter, how do you feel about that?
AR: Well, like so many aspects of this challenge, it can lead you to want to drink a lot of Guinness and just hang out, like I do sometimes, and strum your guitar. But it leads to these two words jangling around in my head: urgency and patience. So how do you combine urgency and patience? How do you get up in the morning, and do it over again, and try to be a little better?
It's a discipline to understand the big picture. But just because Trump has co-opted social media that doesn't mean you abandon social media. It means you figure out how quickly we can use this amazing tool and global connectivity to foster progress, even with all the noise and polarisation that it can also cause.
JG: Would you feel this sense of an interconnected world also mirrors a world that turned out to be a lot smaller than maybe we grew up thinking?
AR:There are so many aspects of the climate challenge that are interdependent and interlinked. Our greenhouse gases are driving change in parts of the world that have never yet really produced any emissions of note. And they're the most vulnerable or most exposed, but how do you actualise that, how do you get American or European consumers to consciously integrate future risk to Bangladeshi kids and their prospects into daily life here?
This is a huge challenge – our brains are not set up for this very well. There's a whole body of science there too that hasn't really been applied to the sustainability and climate questions. I'm thinking about all the things we can do to test drive at least some of these possibilities, to link scientists together who aren't talking to each other, even social and physical scientists.
JG: What are your thoughts on the role of research?
AR: One of the hard realities in facing global warming that most campaigners are loath to accept, let alone embrace, is the need for vastly more science. I first wrote about the research gap in the New York Times in 2006 and not much has changed.
Just about every component of a Tesla was the result of basic R&D investments by the US government, mostly during the Cold War and space race. Elon Musksimply put them together in a novel way. You see hints of this gap out there.
The Green New Deal vision includes the word "research". But the issue is usually swamped by a tide of rhetoric like "all we lack is political will". That's simply not the case on a planet heading toward nine billion people seeking decent lives – two billion of whom right now have utterly indecent lives.
JG: Has journalism failed in terms of communicating not just the climate crisis but the wider existential crisis that we're approaching?
AR: Yeah, I think journalism is a terrible model. The things that get a story on the front page or on the nightly news are the antithesis of the dimensions of the climate problem that would be best for people to think about.
Because what do we gravitate to as journalists: conflict, debate, politics and something that had happened today, and climate change, despite many headlines, is still the biggest, and the most profound changes to the planet have still yet to come.
JG: How might journalism do better?
AR: For example, there's Solutionsjournalism.org. That is trying to chart new paths in which journalism serves as a discussion zone. You can have a community workshop and where you're not going to (cover) the town council meeting, you're holding the meeting, you're providing guidance – I'd rather have room for agreement than room for debate. Just debating doesn't really get you anywhere.
JG: Looking ahead, are you broadly optimistic or broadly pessimistic?
I kind of have a diurnal rhythm – I wake up in the morning optimistic and I usually go to bed sapped and a little discouraged by something I've learned. But I wake up the next morning and go at it again.
I find it's a mixed feeling of loss. The world I grew up with in the 20th century, at the height of the baby boom, when everything was science and progress – it's a much tougher world now. But every day, especially exploring this communications ecosystem, I see ways to accelerate at the personal or community level, some little upside progress, and that leaves me energised – as does going to the pub and singing.

The secret to a cornbread recipe with real corn flavor turned out to be pretty simple: Use corn, not just cornmeal. While fresh corn was best, frozen was nearly as good, and pureeing the kernels in a food processor made them easy to use while eliminating tough, chewy kernels. Since we couldn't assume that everyone would own the cast-iron skillet in which Southern cornbreads traditionally get their thick crust, we compensated by baking the bread at a higher than conventional temperature, producing a crunchy crust full of toasted corn flavor.

Three Things to Know: Celtics thrash Cavaliers, but it's not a statement game
By Kurt HelinJan 4, 2018, 8:55 AM EST
LOS ANGELES — Every day in the NBA there is a lot to unpack, so every weekday morning throughout the season we will give you the three things you need to know from the last 24 hours in the NBA.
1) Celtics easily handle Cavaliers at home… just don't read too much into it. A team can have an impressive win in early January. Certainly a confidence-boosting one.
However, there are no statement games in early January. Certainly not against a team stacked with guys who have rings and have been to multiple Finals, who know the roller coaster of the NBA season. In the same way that Cleveland's opening night win against Boston was no statement, neither was Boston's easy handling of the Cavaliers on Wednesday night, 102-88.
Give Boston credit — they made plays. Terry Rozier had 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting off the bench, and Marcus Smart was draining threes on his way to 15 points. Jayson Tatum added 15. Boston's defense did well to hold the Cavaliers to less than a point per possession in the game, although that was aided by some poor shooting from the Cavs (8-of-32 from three, due to tired legs on the second night of a back-to-back).
The best part of this game was Celtics fans giving Isaiah Thomas a standing ovation upon his return (he did not play as the Cavaliers try to ease him back into the rotation).
This was a game where Cleveland felt vulnerable. Again. The Cavs looked formidable (and played good defense) when they won 18-of-19 at one point, but outside that stretch they have been 7-12 and played poor defense. It's why teams — not just Boston, but also Toronto, Washington, Milwaukee — think these Cavaliers could be beaten. The warning is that Cleveland has had these mid-season slumps every year, and has gone on to win the East every year since LeBron returned. Still, the Cavaliers don't have that same sense of inevitability, of invincibility, that they've had in seasons past.
That's what will make the trade deadline interesting — will Washington or Milwaukee make a big play to get better and put themselves in the conversation? Will Toronto? Or, will Cleveland do something to solidify their spot at the top of the East and give them a better shot against Golden State (or whoever comes out of the West)? The next month or so until the NBA trade deadline is going to have a lot of twists and turns.
2) Steph gonna Steph: Curry drains game-winner. In his first game back from missing time with a sprained ankle, Stephen Curry dropped 10 threes (and 38 points). In his second game back from that sprained ankle, he had 32 points and did this:
Curry was playing at the level of garnering end-of-the-ballot MVP votes before his injury, and he has come back without missing a beat. Golden State was 27th in the NBA in three-point shooting percentage in the 11 games Curry was out, not having him there messed with the team's spacing and style, but with him back the Warriors look like themselves again.
Dallas had won four in a row before this loss and has played fantastically of late… but I still have to ask: Why was Dirk Nowitzki so far back on Curry's game-winning pick-and-roll? This play was not some never-before-seen bit of wizardry, the Warriors run picks 35 feet from the basket all the time because Curry is such a shooting threat, but once Curry came off the Draymond Green screen Nowitzki was back near the top of the key and Curry got a perfectly clean look moving toward the basket.
Curry's brilliance overshadowed a game-winner from Spencer Dinwiddie to lift the Nets past the Timberwolves.
3) Wednesday will be known as the Terrance Ferguson game. "It looked like an ocean. Like throwing a pebble in the ocean."
That's how rookie Terrance Ferguson — who five days before was down in the G-League so he could get a little run, then got the start Wednesday with Andre Roberson out — described his second half against the Lakers where he had 24 points. Ferguson was 2-of-16 from three all season entering this game, then was 6-of-8 from three in the second half Wednesday. He shot 9-of-11 overall in the half.
Oh, and he had these dunks.

— NBA (@NBA) January 4, 2018
"You're in Staples Center, world-famous place. You've gotta do something amazing," Ferguson said.
If you don't remember Ferguson from college coming into the NBA, that's because despite offers from Kansas, North Carolina, and Arizona (among others), he decided to get paid to play overseas in Australia. That's not for everyone, but it worked for Ferguson — he played for a year against men, learned how to be a professional, and while he probably slid down the draft board because of it (the Thunder got him at No. 21) it helped prepare him for life in the NBA.
As much fun as Ferguson going off was to watch, his teammates — especially Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook — going wild on the bench during his run was almost as entertaining.
"There's nothing like that," Anthony said. "There's no better feeling than that. Knowing how much hard work those guys put in, knowing how hard it is to get minutes in this league."
George said he and Anthony may have been more excited than Ferguson at the end of the game. It was PG13 who paid the rookie the best compliment of the night.
"The kid is really good, and he reminds me of myself a lot early on in the league, just a sponge trying to take everything in," George said. "He's special. He's a special weapon and a special talent."


I know I'm a little late to the game praising Glossier's Priming Moisturizer Rich ($35), but it had to be put in writing on SHEfinds because yeah, it's that good.
To be honest, I didn't know what a "rich" moisturizer was until this product launch (remember I'm the girl who isn't obsessed with makeup). However, by January of this year, my skin reached peak dryness and something had to be done. I think after living in New York City for over three years, my face just couldn't take it anymore and started rebelling. My go-to moisturizer that I use year-round just wasn't cutting it and after reading the glowing reviews of Priming Moisturizer Rich, I figured it was worth trying.
I had no idea my skin could even feel this soft–and this is coming from someone who never really had skin problems until recently. After dabbing about a dime-sized amount on my face (which is more than enough, trust me), this thick, heavy (but not sticky!) cream literally melted into my face and left me with a clean glow I thought only existed on Instagram. The next morning, I applied my usual makeup (CC cream, concealer, mascara) without any problems. My winter dryness is definitely gone and my face even has a brightness to it that didn't exist before. I do think this cream might be too heavy in the warmer months, but I will most definitely use mine up before then.
The fact that it was this easy to get soft, hydrated skin with just one product, applied once a day, still blows my mind! And if you're thinking $35 is steep for a face moisturizer, Google "rich moisturizer" and you'll see this one is on the cheap side.
One last thing! Priming Moisturizer Rich is paraben-, mineral oil-, and artificial fragrance-free, yet it has a slight lavender scent. It's not perfume-y at all and actually makes me feel like I'm using a luxurious spa product, which I basically am just minus the price tag!

In 1980, Mariauxy Castillo Vitale's first day at her neighborhood high school was quite a shock. "One of the students just threw a chair at the homeroom teacher. I went home and I told my mom, 'That school is not for me. I don't know where I can go but I don't want to go to that school," she said. She needed an alternative. Fast.
Her mother asked the principal at her brother's school for help choosing another school. Luckily, he had an idea. The principal told them about Cathedral and assisted in arranging her transfer. Mariauxy started a week late, without a uniform, and with limited English skills, as she had just emigrated from Ecuador two years earlier. Despite her initial nervousness, she had found a school where she could learn in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
"I was a little bit afraid, especially not being a freshman and being a sophomore, but it felt right. I became friends with a lot of people that I'm still friends with now," she said.
She also felt supported by her teachers. "I think the teachers there really do care for their students," she said. Mariauxy remembers her French, accounting, religion, and fitness classes the most fondly.
Although Mariauxy, who loved music, felt she wasn't ready to audition for Cathedral's Glee Club, it turns out that being at Cathedral helped her to launch a tremendous career in the music industry.
After graduating from Cathedral in 1983, Mariauxy went to Brooklyn College, where she intended to major in accounting. She quickly decided that this wasn't the right path for her. One of her friends from Cathedral, Lynda (LaVerne) Baquero, needed someone to fill in for her position at New York's Channel 47.
Lynda is now an Emmy-award winning reporter for NBC 4 New York. Back then, she thought Mariauxy's Spanish skills and her outgoing personality would make her a perfect fit for the channel. Mariauxy was tasked with writing, answering phones, and other duties as assigned. She loved the experience so much that she decided to switch her academic track. She graduated from Brooklyn College with a major in TV and radio production and a minor in photography.
Mariauxy's career took off immediately. She worked at MTV, starting out as intern. She became a production assistant and then advanced to being a writer and producer, working with stars like VJ Daisy Fuentes. "I loved it. We traveled the world. It was all about the music," she said.
Later, when MTV launched its Latin music channel, Mariauxy moved to Miami to help drive the launch. "I was the person in charge of all of the talent relations, such as contacting the record labels, getting the videos, and securing interviews," she said.
Mariauxy was with MTV for more than a decade. She worked on shows such as MTV Unplugged, where she booked artists including Ricky Martin, Shakira, and Maná, and achieved what she considers some of her proudest moments of her career so far.
Next, she joined Madonna's Maverick record label as the A&R rep looking for new talent to sign for the Latin division, called Maverick Musica. When Madonna sold the company back to Warner Music, the office in Miami closed, said Mariauxy. After freelancing for a while, a new opportunity opened up. "I ended up working for Ricky Martin for close to 10 years," she said. As part of Ricky Martin's management team, Mariauxy oversaw PR & marketing and promoted his record releases, appearances, and world tours.
Now, Mariauxy works at Apple, where she helps to drive sales in Latin American markets. "I'm identifying influencers in the region, working with them, and making sure that they are aware of what Apple is doing. I'm also doing placement of Apple products," Mariauxy said.
Through it all, Mariauxy always has been willing to take on new challenges and give whatever she is doing her all. She's worked with some of the world's best brands and with some of the most successful musicians as well. "I can't complain," said Mariauxy.
Mariauxy lives in Miami with her husband and rescued pets. She keeps up with her Cathedral classmates through the Class of 1983 Facebook page. Looking back, she feels grateful for her Cathedral experience. For example, the school's diversity helped prepare her to work with people from around the world. "I think CHS opened up my eyes to the idea that everybody is equal. It was a beautiful school," she said.
Also, without Cathedral, her story might have been very different. "If I wasn't there when Lynda told me to take over her internship, and with us being friends through Cathedral, who knows what I would be doing now," Mariauxy said.


This mask is an exact replica from my March bag - I did like this mask so I don't want to complain too much but I do look forward to seeing new things in my subscriptions!
Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua Mask ~ $3.50. Change your complexion with this renewing black mask enriched with various nutrients. Gets rid of excessive sebum, dead skin cell buildups, unclean skin, and dull-darkened skin. Formulated with extracts like Volcanic Ash, Sugar Maple Extract, Soybean Extract, and more to purify and tighten enlarged pores.
Leaders is a great mask brand - this one is very specialized so I am going to save it for when my skin isn't feeling great!
Etude House Korean Ginseng ~ $0.95. This mask sheet contains nourishing Korean Ginseng extract (Panax Ginseng Root Extract), enhancing a youthful complexion by revitalizing exhausted and lifeless skin.
Humanpia Costech Daylight & Hue Essence Sheet Mask "Cucumber" ~ $1.80. Concentrated high moisture and nutrition for cleaning ones skin, helps skin relax from fatigue and stress.
Sounds like exactly what I need right now - I will be trying this right away! This brand has been included before and I like their masks.
My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt Mask ~ $1.46 (10 for $14.60). Brightening, improving fine lines and oil control.
This mask is good for oil control and balancing - my skin isn't generally oil prone but with summer coming up it is certainly something I will need! Also, while I like My Beauty Diary this is the 5th MBD mask I have received in the first 3 months of this subscription - they have all been different types which I am happy with, but I would prefer a little more variety!
Hanaka Pomegranata + Q10 ~ $2.18 (5 masks for $10.90) This is a Botanic Treatment Reviving Mask for Resiliency.
I actually received this exact mask in my April Mask Maven. I recently tried a Hanaka mask and LOVED it, but I am not happy that this is only their 3rd bag and I have a repeat!
It's Skin Todak Todak Pack Vitality ~ $3.50. Leaves skin smooth, silky and moisturized. Contains grape which is full of vitamin C and moisture to create clean and healthy skin. Contains blueberry for youthful looking skin.
So Beauteque has this as a wash of pack; however, this particular type (there may have been more than 1 type sent out) is actually a sleeping pack (as per the It's Skin website), so you apply before bed and rinse it off in the morning! I love sleeping packs and these little todak todak packs have been on my list to try so I'm excited!
Nature Republic Shea Butter Hand & Nature Moisture Hand Mask ~ $4. This moisturizing hand mask is good for your everyday lifestyle and you can wear them as your daily gloves. This moisture hand mask "hugs" every inch of your hands and its rich ingredients af vanilla, shea butter, honey, milk, and almond leaves your dry and rough hands hydrated and silky, while rich collagen makes your hands as soft and smooth as a baby's.
I have tried little finger masks before and really liked them, so I believe I will like a whole hand mask just as much!!
Etude House Sunshine in Spoon Scrub Massage Yogurt - Raspberry ~ $4.50 for 2 pieces. This yogurt wash-off pack gently massages the skin with its peeling particles. The raspberry has an antioxidant effect that provides rich vitamins to achieve clear and soft skin.
These are different and I am happy that their are 2 of these masks to use!
This month's Beauteque's Mask Maven subscription came with 9 masks (10 if you include that the Etude House mask is actually 2), with a total value of $23.88. I never expect mask subscriptions to come with a huge value - I like them to discover new types of masks and different brands to try.
Overall, this month was just okay. There was some really great, new masks to try - pore-scaling, todak todak pack, hand mask etc. What I was upset about was that this is Mask Maven's 3rd month and I have already received 3 identical duplicate masks in this bag. I am fine with duplicate brands, but not fully duplicate products so soon!
I was actually going to cancel this subscription (just because I am trying to cut down and save a little money), but I forgot so it just renewed for another 3 months! I So, for June, July and August I will do comparison's between Mask Maven and Mask Genie!
Do you subscribe to Mask Maven? What do you think so far?
Wow. That many duplicates is VERY disappointing. I know not everyone gets the same masks every month but they definitely need to get some quality control going. And if that means sending everyone the same masks every month, they need to do it. I think they have ordering issues. It's hard because I love what they are doing but the execution sometimes fails.
Yes I agree - or at least keep track somehow of what they send to who! I really like Beauteque as well so I'm hoping that by subscribing for 3 more months I will see improvements with Mask Maven!! fingers crossed!!
