It's never too early to become an at-home chef extraordinaire according to this week's V.I.P. Guest Chef Ed Covino! This is great news to Young Podcast Host Cristina Areu (and show researcher/co-host/sister Sofia Areu), who lacked the confidence to make a lasagna or Pasta Alfredo from scratch.Not only does Chef Covino, Bes'Dam Soup founder, inspire these two young hosts and all aspiring cooks (look out Food Network!), he reminds us that mistakes in the kitchen do happen. And that's ok!Does this mean the kids are cooking up Thanksgiving meals this year? Ummmm. Yeah, it does!
In this pre-Halloween spectacular, the Areu sisters get "Chongalicious" — with fashion, music, and comedy.

The best part: the Chonga movement is coming to you! (The Chonga Girls are on tour right now ... proving that this fun 305-area-code tradition is taking over the planet! Maybe.).
The CATALINA Stars have aligned this week to deliver "aerosol" art and inspiration from Artist Enrique Morales to Podcast Host Cristina Areu and Sister/Co-host/Researcher Sofia Areu ... and you! It's not often that art fans get to stare at a painting and ask its artist how it came to be. Sure, Cristina and Sofia have seen "spray paint" art in New York City as kids on the way to Central Park, but watching Enrique Morales create his colorful masterpieces is different. Originally from Mexico City, this painter explains how playing with fire, spray paint and music is a recipe for following dreams. But don't try the fire and spray paint part at home! Not yet. The sisters would like to interest you in a Pirates of the Caribbean artistic ride first ... with a one-of-a-kind, V.I.P., modern day Jack Sparrow ... who can paint!

(Thanks, RuPaul!) VIP Hair and Makeup Artist Rose Lionetti provides great hair and makeup advice to all while helping the Areu sisters grace the 21st Anniversary issue of CATALINA magazine ... with confidence! Getting in the zone to create a cover-worthy "rock and roll" looked easy thanks to previous CATALINA VIPs, the right soundtrack, ... bombshell pink lipstick and black eyeliner.
