TRIBU’S is the product of a collaborative 

effort involving a team of rebels who embarked on the 

intellectual adventure of making room for different voices. 

It also acts as a daring platform to share different visions of 

the contemporary world. 

TRIBU’S seeks to penetrate the reader’s fiber, 

not only with eroticism and implicit nudity but with daring 

topics that arouse your critical thinking. This issue of 

TRIBU’S you are about to explore is only an appetizer and 

we hope you can enjoy it with pleasure. 

The magazine is a representation through which 

we intend that modern men and women experience life 

through their sometimes guilty pleasures: travel, sexuality, 

gastronomy, fashion technology, art, jewelry, photography 

and urban culture. It is aimed at bold thinking, sans taboos, 

demanding and aesthetics-loving readers. By offering a 

solid visual proposal we seek to turn our publication into a 

symbol of prestige and excellence. 

Every four weeks there will be a new format in 

the digital world full of relevant and topical content. But 

that’s not all, because our magazine is also intended for the 

physical enjoyment of the tangible through its hard-copy 

version. 

This first edition is born in February, the love 

and heartbreaking month, because February the 14 is for 

everyone! For those who live the magic of love, for those 

who say that it is better to be alone than in bad company, 

and for those who suffer by having a Cupid with bad aim. 

February is a month to enjoy the good and bad of love, a 

month for releasing this publication.

TRIBU’S MAGAZINE | INTERVIEW 


GABO 

AN INTERVIEW WITH 

GABRIELE SATURNO 

T’s: Give us a brief introduction about yourself 

GABO: My name is Gabriele Saturno, but most people know me 

as Gabo. I was born in Venezuela in 1992, I am 25 years old 

and I live in Miami. I have a degree in sound engineering, but 

I’ve always been passionate about health issues, nutrition, and 

fitness. In summary, my interests are music, sport and demand 

myself to be better every day in order to inspire others to do 

the same and help them be more active and improve their way 

of life. 

T’s: How long have you been training? 

GABO: I started training weights about 12 years ago. But I 

decided to change the use of weights to more training with my 

own weight (better known as calisthenics) about 5 years ago. 

At the same time I also started my daily yoga routine and today 

I practice both disciplines. 

T’s: Before starting to train calisthenics, did you practice any 

other sport or anything related? 

GABO: I did Karate for 15 years, a bit of swimming, tennis and 

my religious training of weights in the gym. 

T’s: How is a typical training day for you? 

GABO: It varies greatly and depends on the time, but now I 

like to walk at a slow pace every morning before sunrise to 

awaken the body. Then I do a little yoga for stretching and 

starting the day with energy. At about 10 a.m. or 11 a.m., I do 

my main calisthenics training that lasts approximately 2 hours. 

Then late in the afternoon I do another yoga session focused 

in technique and movements in order to improve myself. Apart 

from that, I always try to be in motion to keep my body active 

or to practice any movement. Every second of practice counts! 

10 

11



T’s: Do you have a workout routine? Weights, 

machines or anything like that? 

GABO: I used to lift weights for a very long time. 

Then I combined weights with calisthenics, but 

at this moment I prefer to use my own weight. I 

come back to weights from time to time to attack 

certain areas of the body that deserve extra 

attention. 

T’s: How did you train to learn and master your 

static movements, such as planche push-ups, 

front lever and others? Did you have any routine 

or special method or were you just testing until 

you succeeded? 

GABO: This type of movements requires consistent 

training, but they are also very strong for 

the nervous system so getting enough rest 

is a priority. I made them consistently with 

progressions and routines that I discovered along 

the way. Definitely it was not something I pulled 

out of the hat! 

T’s: Are you on a diet or on special food? 

GABO: I don’t like the word diet because I feel that 

when you are on a diet, you eventually are going 

to quit. I prefer to say that I care about what I 

eat because I do know the effect that it has not 

only in my body, but in how I feel and in my state 

of mind. But to answer the question, I practice 

intermittent fasting (more for the effect that it 

has on health than for the external effect that it 

has on the body) and I am more inclined to a diet 

low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats. 

12 

13



T’s: Could you give us an example of a day in 

your diet? 

GABO: Of course! In the morning while I am in 

my period of fasting I only drink water, tea, and 

I occasionally drink coffee and other beverages 

such as lemon water or water with apple cider 

vinegar. Everything that I mentioned here has a 

specific purpose depending on the day. I always 

have my first meal after noon, usually at 2 or 3 

p.m., and my second meal at around 7 or 8 p.m. 

Both meals are quite large and consist of a large 

amount of vegetables (asparagus and cauliflower 

are my two favorites), a moderate protein portion 

(usually eggs, salmon, sardines, chicken or beef), 

a small portion of complex carbohydrates in a 

single meal depending on the intensity of training 

(commonly sweet potato, oatmeal, or lentils) and 

a lot of healthy fats such as avocado, coconut 

oil, olive oil or animal fat (I’m not vegan, but I 

make sure I only eat extreme high quality meat 

from cows that are fed only on grass and nothing 

more). Let’s say this is my typical day, but every 

day is different and I eat intuitively. Some days 

I only have a meal at the end of the day, others 

I have breakfast and do my 3 or 4 meals a day. 

Some days I like having a snack, others don’t. 

Anyway I try to listen to my body, and I eat high 

nutritional value foods and I control the portions 

as much as possible. 

14 

15



T’s: Do you take any kind of supplements? 

GABO: Yes, quite a bit. But they are not the 

supplements that we are accustomed to hear. 

I do not do creatine, pre-workout drinks or 

BCAA (I did drink them, but now I do not see 

that they benefit me at all on my goals). I’m now 

more inclined to natural Chinese herbs such as 

Maca, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola and medicinal 

mushrooms like Chaga, Reishi and Lion’s Mane. 

And when it comes to pills and vitamins, you 

cannot miss fish oil, probiotics and digestive 

enzymes. Other supplements I take include 

magnesium, vitamin D and a complex B. I use 

them to improve the way I feel internally and 

mentally because that has a direct impact on 

my training. 

T’s: What is the best moment in your career 

you remember? 

GABO: Well, I daresay all, because each one has 

taught me something different and has led 

me to this precise moment in which I am very 

grateful to be. 

T’s: Who do you admire most in the world of 

calisthenics? 

GABO: Many people, starting, of course, with my 

team THENX (Chris Heria, Osvaldo Lugones 

and Stefan Heria). There are great athletes such 

as Erick Ortiz, Sergio Ordonez, Laroza, among 

many others. I also have great admiration for 

the work of Daniel [Vadnal] (FitnessFAQs), Tom 

Merrick (The Bodyweight Warrior) and Alex 

[Lorenz] and Sven [Kohl] (CaliMove). 

T’s: Have you got some words for those who 

are reading this interview? 

16 

GABO: Thank you for taking the time to read the 

entire interview and I hope this information 

will be of any help! Remember that moving is 

living and that your body is your temple and 

your vehicle to live this wonderful gift called 

life. Take care for it as much as you can. Cheers 

to all!

TRIBES AND 

TATTOOS: 

THE MOST ICONIC TATTOOS 

AROUND THE WORLD 

Tattoos today are no longer a taboo but a cultural explosion that 

increasingly has a greater number of followers seeking to modify their 

bodies through this art—once considered more as a rite and practiced by 

different cultures around the world in different eras and contexts. 

In order to understand the evolution of tattoo art, it is essential to know 

its mostly painful techniques—through which each tribe or culture carried 

out their rituals. 

If you are interested to know how and where this tradition began, 

keep reading. 

18 

19



New Zealand 

The first stop on the road is New Zealand, one 

of the most isolated places on Earth and home 

to the Maori people, known for their warrior 

spirit and their facial tattoos, whose spiral-like 

patterns are inspired by nature. 

When people of the South Pacific emigrated 

to the current New Zealand, body tattoos were 

replaced by facial tattoos. They were called Moko 

or Ta Moko and provided detailed information 

about the wearer, his/her family and social 

standing. They were also considered as a beauty 

symbol for women and a war symbol for men. 

The 18th-century British explorers almost put 

an end to this ancient practice. Their admiration 

for those facial tattoos became a hobby and they 

began collecting mummified, tattooed heads of 

Maori warriors. The massacres forced the Maori 

people to leave aside their tradition. 

“ 

Maori tattoos were made with a 

chisel-like instrument called Uhi. 

After healing, the wound was again 

opened to form a scar and then it 

was filled with tree sap and soot. 

Hawaiian tribal tattoos resemble the Moko 

tattoos from New Zealand, courtesy of the 

Polynesian culture that discovered these islands. 

It is an ancient art usually done with needles 

made of fish fin spines, wild boar teeth and bird 

beaks. 

Tattoos in Polynesian culture were used to 

indicate social status, who you were, what you 

did for a living, number of battles you won and 

men you killed. There was also the belief that 

tattoos were shields that protected you from 

physical injuries and evil spirits. 

Tattoos were considered a sign of transformation, 

which symbolized the fact that a man ceased to 

belong to his mother and became part of the 

“House of Men” and was ready to begin to hunt, 

fish and grow. After having it done, eating was 

the traditional ceremony.

Peru 

In 1984 in the mountains of northern Peru, 

the right arm of a mummy belonging to the 

Lambayeque people preserving her skin 

tattoos, and more surprising, in part of her 

bone was discovered. 

The Lambayeque people lived off fishing, their 

gods came from the sea and their tattoos were 

dominated by the waves, birds and fish. 

It is believed that some tattoos in South 

America, Asia, and the Arctic were made by 

sewing them directly to the skin with the aid of 

bone needles, tendons of animals and soot ink. 

In Nubia, southern Egypt, tattoos were 

exclusively for women. Tattoos designs 

served a protective and magical functions, 

the latter being a characteristic that many 

cultures conferred to them. 

Japan 

Despite not being considered a tribe, the 

Japanese irezumi (tattooing) artists had to 

hide for a long time for the sake of their art, 

since authorities have sought to eradicate 

this tradition because of its relationship with 

the members of the Yakuza, the Japanese 

mafia. 

Tattoos were illegal and still today they can 

be considered a problem, being associated 

with these gangs in Japan, since they were 

a symbol of rebellion and solidarity against 

the society at the time. 

Japanese tattooing originated in the mid- 

17th century, when Japan ruling class 

began to use the ink as a visible mark of 

punishment. Criminals and prisoners were 

tattooed on their faces and arms, and 

became marginalized by society. 

Egypt 

They were used as a kind of passport to life 

after death, and during the Middle Kingdom 

tattoos were a culturally very well-accepted 

social practice. 

One of the most famous tattooed mummies 

uncovered, Amunet, Priestess of the Goddess 

Hathor, which was discovered in 1891 by 

the French Egyptologist Eugène Grébaut in 

Thebes, shows patterns of tattooed lines 

and dashes on her arms, thighs, and lower 

abdomen These tattoos are interpreted 

by some scholars as fertility and maternity 

symbols. 

Japanese traditional irezumi is done by using 

a pair of bamboo sticks with 36 needles at 

each end, at a speed of 90 to 120 hits per 

minute. 

Currently some collectors buy and sell 

tattooed human skins taken from their 

wearers after dying.

THESE ARE THE IPHONE X TIPS 

APPLE WANTS YOU TO KNOW 

Along with extensive product descriptions, Apple 

is publishing a range of articles, support notes and 

video to help new iPhone X users learn how to 

get the most from their brand-new device. 

A NEW GENERATION 

With an eye on the next 10 years of smartphone 

evolution, Apple is adopting a new approach 

with the launch of the new device. 

This extends beyond seeding a few vbloggers 

with demo units or using quotes within iPhone 

X marketing — the company is also working to 

make sure new users can access the best possible 

advice to help them make use of the product. 

GET FAMILIAR WITH IPHONE X USER 

INTERFACE 

The loss of the Home button is one key reason 

the company is taking such pains to explain how 

its new device works. 

Apple knows its Home button UI paradigm pretty 

much defined the entire smartphone industry 

(which is why everyone else has an equivalent), 

so it knows it must work to help its customers 

make the transition. One good way to achieve 

this is to help the broader public (not just new 

iPhone owners) to understand the new UI. 

8 THINGS YOU’LL WANT TO TRY FIRST 

WITH YOUR IPHONE X 

Anecdotally, most people I have spoken with 

have found the transition much simpler than 

they expected, but a little familiarity has to help. 

Apple has also published a range of tech support 

articles to help you both understand Face ID and 

to resolve any problems with the tech. 

Examples include: 

• Get help with Face ID on your iPhone X 

• Use Face ID on iPhone X 

• Set up Face ID 

• Unlock with Face ID 

• Make purchases with Face ID 

• Swipe to get around 

• Sign in with Face ID 

APPLE’S TIPS 

Apple puts its Tips app on every iOS device. This now offers eight iPhone X tips that explain 

some of the new ways things work on the new smartphone. 

• Turn off iPhone X 

• Face ID 

• Say it with Animoji 

• Tap to wake 

• On your way with Apple Pay 

• Multitasking 

• Go straight home 

• Ask Sir 

These tips (along with tips for iOS 11) are available within the app. 

Apple has also published the latest edition of its iPhone User Guide for iOS 11.1.

Apple doesn’t just want to sell phones; 

it wants to sell the best phones. 

“ 

Apple doesn’t just want to sell phones; it 

wants to sell the best phones. So, it really 

needs to work hard to get the message over 

as to how advanced its solutions are. 

Initial sales data suggests this is working. 

The latest Localytics data suggests huge 

interest in Appe’s new iPhone range this 

season, though perhaps not as high as 

that which greeted the release of iPhone 

6 in 2014. (Though that is likely in part 

attributable to price.) 

Meanwhile, additional data supplied to me 

by SEMRush suggests that search volume 

for the new iPhone 8 and X devices utterly 

eclipsed that generated by the release of 

the Pixel 2XL. And while the iPhone 8 failed 

to match the interest suggested by activity 

for iPhone 7 and 6, it did exceed that which 

greeted the iPhone 6s. 

These data points add a certain amount of 

substance to Slice Intelligence’s claim that 

iPhone X is the largest single product launch 

in Apple’s history. “In the first four days of 

orders, the iPhone X sold 25 percent more 

units than the previous record holder, the 

iPhone 6,” Slice said. 

iPhone X purchasers are also being offered 

free 30-minute online training sessions, 

during which an Apple specialist will explain 

how to use the device.

TRIBU’S MAGAZINE | ZONE GALLERY 


Female representations of religions 

ranging from African to the indigenous 

culture including Europe are presented in 

these works through deconstruction. 

As if it were a grand collage, each 

work is, at the same time, a composition of 

multiple images that achieves a whole. “In 

every session I took between 500 and 800 

photographs from a script and then I used an 

editing program like a blank canvas to make 

post production and overlay photographs 

with minimal editing to put together the 

exhibition as a grand collage,” said Santos. 

About the origin of this work full of 

symbolism and religious iconography, Santos 

details that it is integrated in his alreadydeveloped 

interest in the spirituality, nature, 

and nude, “but not with the intention to 

generate sex exploitation but to highlight its 

spiritual value.” 

The exhibition, held on May 2015 

in Arles, France, within the framework 

of the 15th European Festival of Nude 

Photography, was recently presented 

in Brazil, as part of the 11th Paraty em 

Foco festival. In this renowned festival, 

photographers of the stature of André 

Cypriano, Marcelo Brodsky, Miguel Rio 

Branco, Martin Parr, Marcos López, Cristina 

de Middel, Pep Bonet, Márcio Vasconcelos, 

among many others, have exposed their 

works. 

THE GODDESSES 

INCARNATE 

28 

Femininity and its links with the spirituality of ancient cultures are represented in the series 

“The Goddesses Incarnate” by Venezuelan photographer Jorge Luis Santos. This creation, composed 

of eleven photographs, was awarded first place at the 11th Paraty em foco festival in Brazil (2015), 

one of the major Latin America artistic photography competitions. 

The series, which was completed in 2015 and elaborated during the past two years, presents 

eleven different deities incarnate by ordinary Venezuelan women, without retouching. “You can say 

it is a tribute to the female goddess and how every woman can be a goddess if she wishes and 

applies the power that man has taken from her for fear,” reflects the artist.

JORGE LUIS SANTOS GARCÍA 

A SHORT RESUME 

30 

“ 

A prize is always a boost, and 

when it is an international one, it 

has greater importance because the 

jury don´t know you or your career. 

The goddesses were the ones who 

spoke and charmed the members of 

the jury. It was not my name or my 

work, it was they,” Santos says. “This 

is a project that collides with our 

“Miss culture” and it is committed to 

showing the femininity from its true 

power”, concludes the photographer. 

He works as a freelance 

photographer. His personal 

work focuses on three pillars: 

spirituality, nature and sexuality. 

These pillars allow him to enter 

in documentary photography of 

religious and folk manifestations, 

in nature photography as an 

approach of the knowledge of “I” 

and in the nude as an explanation 

tool of human joy as a divine fact. 

He finally mixes these three pillars conveniently to express ideas 

and personal concepts. 

He started in photography as an autodidact in 1986. He began 

his formal training in 2006 in the hands of master photographers and 

institutions in Caracas. 

His first solo exhibition was in 1998 and to date has participated 

in 21 national exhibitions (Venezuela) and 4 international exhibitions in 

Argentina, Spain, France and Chile. 

His works have been presented in 102 exhibitions: 62 in Venezuela 

and 40 in Argentina, Australia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Brazil, Bulgaria, 

Ecuador, France, India, Spain and Uruguay. 

His photos have been awarded several prizes in Venezuela, Cuba, 

Ecuador and Argentina and they are present in national and foreign 

institutions. 

He is the author of three books: Palmero Is Faith and Hill; Pedregal, 

The Same Ones As Yesterday; and I ask, I promise and pay. 

The first two books are listed in the library of the Metropolitan 

Museum of Art in New York, and in the library of the MoMA in New York, 

among other important institutions.

TRIBU’S MAGAZINE | MEGATRAINING 


AVOIDINGTHE 

REBOUND 

EFFECT 

Beginning a diet may be a traumatic 

experience for many people, but it’s even more 

frustrating to regain and add more weight once 

you’ve finished the diet regime you’ve been on. 

When that happens it is said that the person 

suffered from a “rebound effect”. The rebound 

effect is considered to be the regaining of the 

pounds that were lost with a diet after a weight 

loss regime is finished. 

This secondary, unwanted, adverse, or inverse 

reaction produced by an organism when stimuli 

of various kinds are withdrawn is also known 

as the “yo-yo effect”. It is frequently related to 

sudden weight gain that occurs after removing a 

hypocaloric diet. It also goes hand in hand with 

the addictive properties of certain psychotropic 

substances or unwanted side effects from 

various drugs, medicines and chemicals. 

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF 

THE REBOUND EFFECT? 

Although there are several, one of the 

main causes occurs when a person tends to 

eliminate habits followed during a diet and 

retake those who led him or her to suffer from 

overweight: for example, not eating healthy, 

not watching over amounts, not exercising and 

especially not having a good daily routine. 

SOLUTIONS 

If you do not want to regain weight after 

dieting, do not deprive yourself of foods you 

really like while you’re on a diet. In other words, 

if you like carbohydrates, eat a bit of whole grain 

bread or replace it. If you preferred vegetarian 

food, prepare soy meat. If you used to have fast 

food meals from time to time, add a hamburger 

and fries in your calorie plan. This is a long term 

strategy of feeding and must be flexible and 

realistic, otherwise you’re going to gain weight 

at the end. 

The most important thing is to try to 

eat foods that make you feel satisfied but, at 

the same time, low-calorie foods. Controlling 

what you eat in the long term has more to do 

with feeling well and satisfied than having an 

indomitable will-power. 

If you eat delicious foods and you don’t 

feel private throughout the day, weight loss may 

be easier. And if you can learn to be satisfied 

while you’re on a diet, then it will be even easier 

to stay on your weight once you’ve finished the 

diet regime, simply because you can consume 

more calories. 

The main advantage of making a diet 

with your own custom plan is that you can 

choose foods based on your preferences, in this 

way you are programming yourself.

YOU CAN ALSO 

MAKE RESISTANCE EXERCISES 

HOW TO ACHIEVE GOOD 

PERFORMANCE IN THIS TRAINING? 

“ 

Megatraining is a system and a way 

for the practitioner to achieve, in 

record time, an improvement in 

his/her physical and mental health, 

as this is a 100% safe and effective 

multidisciplinary training. 

Resistance exercises (e.g. weights, fitness) 

involve the larger muscle groups and a higher 

level of muscular intensity occurs during your 

training. This activates dormant metabolism and 

helps prevent the regaining of the lost fat. We 

recommend the MEGA Training System. MEGA 

stands for “Miguel Eduardo García Aponte’s.” 

WHAT IS MEGA? 

It is a system and a way for the practitioner to 

achieve, in record time, an improvement in his/ 

her physical and mental health, as this is a 100% 

safe and effective multidisciplinary training 

system without risk of injuries, since it meets all 

the principles of Physiology Sciences: “Part of 

biology which studies the functions of human 

beings”; Biomechanics: “Science that studies 

the forces and accelerations acting on living 

organisms” and finally Kinesiology: “Discipline 

that studies the muscular activity of the human 

body.” 

To achieve optimal results this training should 

be carried out depending on the plan use for 

each person, with an ideal time of an hour for 

three or five days a week. 

All training plans are accompanied by a nutritional 

plan. This plan goes according to physiological 

and morphological characteristics of each 

person, as well as the respective requirements 

that he/she has to achieve the goals set before 

beginning MEGA Training. 

Should be noted that once you start this training, 

the results will notice after the first three months, 

then it will gradually increase until reaching nine 

months (depending on the initial condition in 

which you were), and by that time you will look 

different in terms of musculature, resistance, 

capacity and above all you’ll be without a trace 

of the dreaded rebound effect. 

HOW MEGA TRAINING SYSTEM 

WAS BORN? 

After 17 years of practice and studies on the 

fitness world, Miguel García Aponte combined 

the best of different training systems: Tae Punch, 

Boxing, Kick Boxing, weight training, metabolic 

circuit training, suspension training, functional 

training, indoor cycling and stretching. The 

MEGA training system was created in 2013.

latest trends and news in this fashion section. 

We want to tell you that in the latest Paris Show 

-this last september- , were 550 journalists from 

25 countries gathered in Paris alongside some of 

the world’s most devoted, and wealthiest, highfashion 

consumers for the unveiling of the Fall- 

Winter 2017-2018 Haute Couture collections, 

so the show it was displayed for just three days, 

as opposed to the eight-day ready-to-wear 

marathon, and only six to seven shows per day, 

just for say one of the changes. 

To keep pace with the industry’s shift to ready-towear, 

the guardians of high fashion are opening 

their arms to a growing number of designers 

outside the strict confines of haute couture. 

There was a time when it could be possible 

for haute couture to be considered passé, but 

today people are looking for individualism and 

uniqueness, mixed with a strong aesthetic 

dimension. 

It’s not just the couture calendar that stands 

to benefit. An invitation to show at couture 

immediately elevates a ready-to-wear designer’s 

standing. Plus, there’s the opportunity to work 

with the bounty of artisans the city provides, as 

Proenza Shoulder’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro 

Hernandez that they wanted to utilize Paris’s 

rich history of couture and work with many 

independent ateliers on their collection. 

As a result, the balance of power seems to be 

shifting from aesthetic influencers to Instagram 

influencers. From fashion to fashion entertainment. 

If you measure success during shows simply by 

viewership, by clicks and buzz, that’s probably 

absolutely fine. More people may be watching 

more catwalks. But if you measure success by 

the ability to bring decision makers to the city 

because they have to see — for themselves, not 

through a screen — the way a garment moves 

on the body, how it can resonate in the memory 

and change the way an individual may dress so 

that consumers look to Paris like the leadership, 

it might not be. 

Insiders are lining up in opposing camps: those 

who see a crisis and those who roll their eyes at 

the angst. Has never been a time before when 

people are so open to trying new things and 

doing different things. 

The representative Carolyn B. Maloney, 

Democrat of New York, has held a series of news 

conferences detailing the value of fashion week 

(note: fashion week, not fashion) to the city. Its 

contribution to the bottom line — in hotels, car 

services, restaurants, florists, hairdressers and 

the like — is enormous. | Maria Jose Bernechea

T’s: What adjectives could 

be used to describe your 

personality? 

NS: I’m very kind and beautiful, 

with good sense of humour, 

have a perfect taste in any 

aspects, friendly and stylish, 

with the shining smile, bright 

and hot like a sun, attractive 

like a goddess of love, 

gorgeous and sensitive. 

T’s: Until modeling call at your 

door, how was your life? 

NS: I had a great life before, 

but I felt like I’m missing 

something... like I didn’t 

found myself yet... And then 

I was invited to take part in 

a photosession, they were 

impressed by my photogenic 

personality, so I decided to try 

the model bussiness. 

T’s: Were there preconceived 

ideas of the modeling career 

that have changed in a positive 

or negative way according to 

your own experience? 

NS: In a career of a model 

I don’t see anything bad 

but transient. At first I had 

I preconception that this 

activity is silly, but that’s not 

true. People that I met during 

my career were really smart 

and talented and I’m just an 

instrument to interpretative 

their thoughts and feelings.

T’s: What are your goals in the short and medium 

term?, How are you preparing to achieve those goals?

interesting and versatile events and projects. And in 

some time after I would like to sign up a contract with 

one of the famous fashionable agencies. 

T’s: What is the biggest mistake you’ve made in your 

career?, What did you learn from that experience? 

NS: My biggest mistake was the fact that I became the 

model too late, and the lesson I gain from this is: If 

you have some interesting ideas and ambitions do not 

hesitate to bring them to life as fast as you can, and 

don’t put them in a “long box”. 

T’s: How do you see the modeling market in Florida? 

NS: I think that Florida Fashion market is one of world’s 

most famous and respectful. 

T’s: How is your relationship? 

NS: Perfect as always. 

T’s: What’s your more recurrent sexual fantasy? 

NS: I would like to keep it in a secret, until the moment 

I’ll provide it into life, then I will share it with you ;) 

T’s: Have you put to test your most intimate fantasies? 

NS: Yes I did and it was gorgeous! 

T’s: Do you explore your body to discover your 

erogenous zones? 

NS: Yes, and I think everyone should do it with his own 

body, you have to know yourself better. 

T’s: How does it feel to be Tribu´s February girl? 

NS: It’s so exciting, so I just can’t wait to hold it my 

hands!

TRIBU’S MAGAZINE | SEXUALITY 


GRAB HIM! 

LEARN HOW TO GIVE THE 

SINGAPORE KISS 

WITH YOUR VAGINAL MUSCLES! 

The Singapore kiss, also known as kabbazah or 

“holder” in the Arabic world, pompoir (“pahmpour”) 

in the Tamil language of southern India, 

cocomordan or “bitting vagina” by Haitians, or 

cangrejera in some Latin American countries, is 

the ability of some women to contract the vaginal 

muscles at their own will. For gynecologists, on the 

other hand, it is a physiological and involuntary 

movement that occurs in the vagina during sexual 

intercourse and, by doing some simple exercises, it 

may be controlled. 

Actually many people agree that it is an ability that 

can be developed, therefore my friends, today we 

will begin with your exercise plan which I have 

called “You can really give a Singapore kiss.” 

While the Singapore kiss is a series of involuntary 

movements that occur in the vagina muscles, 

sexologists know that there is a great chance to train 

those same muscles to get powerful contractions 

and thereby improve the female orgasm, as well as 

the feeling of tightness in the man’s penis.

Kegels exercises are simple clench-and-release exercises that you 

can do to make the muscles of your pelvic floor stronger. 

First, you must identify these muscles. They are located just to 

the inside of the labia minora (the inner vaginal “lips”). In order 

to recognize them, when you go to urinate, you voluntarily must 

stop the urine stream. You have to identify which muscles you 

are contracting. These are the same muscles that you have to 

contract during sexual intercourse. 

Once you have identified and voluntarily contracted your vaginal 

muscles, you have to improve them through proper exercise: 

Tighten your vaginal muscles as if you’re trying to stop yourself 

from peeing for 10 seconds, release them, and repeat this exercise 

three or four sets of 10 contractions every day. 

The beauty of Kegels is that you can really do 

them just about anywhere, anytime. Whether 

you are alone, or accompanied, at work or 

if you are resting, no one will know you are 

exercising unless you tell them! 

Kegels exercises are used to prevent and 

treat urinary incontinence, i.e. when women 

have leaks. 

While performing Kegels exercises, some 

women can even experience sexual 

pleasure. There is evidence that performing 

these exercises cause a tighter grip during 

intercourse and may increase sexual desire in 

both members of the couple. 

The vagina is a fragile tissue surrounded by 

strong muscles. As time goes by or due to the 

strain of childbirth, these muscles may get 

weaker. 

It is important to acknowledge that the vagina 

is a muscle and as such you must exercise it. 

Remember “Muscles which are not exercised 

become weak and may eventually atrophy.” 

So go ahead, girls, exercise those vaginal 

muscles...and you, guys, stimulate them for a 

change.

TRIBU’S MAGAZINE | GASTRONOMY 

MOLECULAR 

GASTRONOMY 

Cocktails in ice spheres, olive oil caviar, and 

disappearing transparent ravioli. Sounds good? 

Well, these are not the only examples of molecular 

gastronomy. Molecular cuisine combines physics 

and chemistry to transform the tastes and textures 

of food. The result? An all new and innovative 

culinary experience. 

On March 14, 1969, Nicholas Kurti held a 

conference entitled: “The physicist in the kitchen”, 

in which explained his concept of the use of 

scientific knowledge to improve food. The story 

goes that he opened the conference with the 

following sentence: “I think, with a profound 

sadness about our civilization, that while we are 

measuring the temperature in the atmosphere 

of Venus, we ignore the temperature inside our 

soufflés”. 

Many modern chefs do not accept the term 

molecular cuisine to describe their cooking style 

and prefer other terms such as “modern cuisine”, 

59



“modernist cuisine”, “experimental cuisine” 

or “avant-garde cuisine”. British chef Heston 

Blumenthal said that the term molecular cuisine 

sounds elitist and inaccessible, as if you’d need a 

degree in rocket science to enjoy it. In the end, 

molecular gastronomy or molecular cuisine - or 

whatever you want to call this cooking style - 

refers to the more experimental cuisine driven by 

the desire of modern chefs to explore the world’s 

great variety of ingredients, techniques and tools. 

The research of molecular cuisine begins in the 

kitchen, where chefs study how food tastes and 

behaves under different temperatures, pressures 

and other scientific conditions. 

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS 

Molecular cuisine experiments have resulted in 

new innovative dishes such as hot gelatins, airs, 

faux caviar, spherical ravioli, crab ice cream and 

olive oil spiral. Spanish chef Ferran Adrià from El 

Bulli restaurant uses alginates for his spherification 

system to create spheres that literally burst in your 

mouth. British chef Heston Blumenthal from The 

Fat Duck restaurant discovered the ability of fat to 

hold flavor and created a dish that had three flavors 

- basil, olive oil and onion - with each flavor being 

perceived in sequence. The potential of molecular 

gastronomy is huge. It is revolutionizing the 

traditional cuisine and transforming dinning into a 

surprising emotional and sensory experience. 

or salt, but this is prohibited in molecular gastronomy. You have 

to use food’s own juices to get the flavor you are seeking without 

altering them. 

DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES 

NOTHING IS FRIED 

In molecular cuisine no dish or food is going to be 

fried. If you want to achieve the same consistency, 

you use liquid nitrogen. Besides, this makes food 

healthier. 

There is not just one kind of technique for molecular cuisine. 

Some of the options are, to make foams, vacuum cooking, internal 

cooking, or cooking with liquid nitrogen. So it does not matter the 

dish, as long as you use any of those techniques, you already have 

molecular cuisine. 

TRANSFORMING 

THE TEXTURES OF FOOD 

60 

USING FOOD’S OWN JUICE 

To give more flavor to food many people use spices 

Molecular gastronomy does not seek to change the taste of food 

but its texture. For example, transform a fruit into foam or make 

ravioli transparent. 

61



MOLECULAR 

RESTAURANTS 

GASTRONOMY 

Although molecular cuisine has become a popular 

cooking style, there are restaurants that still do not 

dare to try it. But there are some chefs that already 

made it an essential part of their dishes. One of 

them is Pierre Gagnaire, the head chef and owner of 

the eponymous Pierre Gagnaire restaurant at 6 rue 

Balzac in Paris. 

USING LESS ENERGY 

Molecular gastronomy does not resort to traditional 

cooking or evaporation processes. This is because 

these techniques consume too much energy. So 

you can use science to manage to lower the cost of 

preparation. 

IT’S AN ART 

The chefs are always looking for experience things 

differently with each dish. Molecular cuisine let them 

change shapes, tastes, smells and dish presentations. 

So your cuisine will never be the same for your 

customers. 

NEW DISCOVERIES 

Unique flavors in each ingredient have been 

discovered in molecular cuisine. Temperature and 

ways of cooking can alter food’s original flavor, yet 

molecular cuisine helps maintain the original flavor.

FIVE-STAR 

SUMMER 

In the southern hemisphere, the heat came 

along with the first cruise ships on 21st 

December, when the summer started in the 

5-star South American tourism center of 

Punta del Este, one of the most exclusive 

seaside resort in the continent, located on the 

east coast of Uruguay, in the Department of 

Maldonado. 

Sure you’ve heard more about this peninsular 

city than Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital, 

and this is because famous people from all over 

the world have chosen it to spend a VIP holiday 

in the best Hollywood star style. Shakira, Luis 

Miguel, Ricky Martin and Cameron Diaz are 

just some of the people who often visit Punta 

del Este. 

65



In 2017, Forbes magazine 

highlighted several natural charms that 

you should not miss if you visit Punta 

del Este, unforgettable ones that remain 

in your memory and why not, in a 

publication for social networks. 

Visitors can choose between the 

wonderful and quiet Mansa Beach, ideal 

for a family walk, and the wild waves of 

the Atlantic in Brava Beach, where you 

can see a sculpture called The Hand of 

Punta del Este, made by Chilean artist 

Mario Irarrázabal in February 1982. Also 

known as “the fingers”, it is a perfect 

spot for a holiday selfie and if the phone 

is not enough, a drone can capture 

the moment from the air for a perfect 

postcard. 

So far you can add several photos 

to your album, but certainly the best ones 

can be from the Casapueblo museum, in 

Punta Ballenas, a magical place built by 

the Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaro, 

in which every afternoon since 1994, 

the Ceremony of the Sun is performed 

on the museum terraces where minutes 

before sunset, the artist’s voice from a 

recording, dedicates a poem to the sun 

to bid him farewell. 

Punta del Este has all the 

conditions to enjoy a five-star holiday. 

Two airports can accommodate private 

jets, and according to the director of 

Estilo Punta Internacional magazine, 

and organizer of a recent exhibition 

devoted precisely to VIP customers, 

“the first week of January there are 

62 private jets and 80 helicopters at 

Punta del Este airport.” In addition, the 

resort concentrates a great number of 

exclusive hotels and glitzy restaurants, 

a golf club, polo, many yachts, and many 

Ferrari and BMW on the streets. 

If you do not have a jet or a 

helicopter, the good news is that you 

can get to Punta Del Este by car or bus 

line from Montevideo in a pleasant 

journey of just over two hours to enjoy 

what is left of the summer that ends on 

March 20. 

But it is not only the scenery that 

invites you to enjoy this South American 

paradise.
