ince the 1st August 2011, with the approval of the Chief Registrar, it has been possible for a civil marriage ceremony and/or formation of a civil partnership to take place anywhere in (or over) the Isle of Man or its territorial waters provided certain conditions are met. This legislation meant that for the first time, it was possible for a wedding ceremony to take place aboard a boat here in the Isle of Man.

which took place on May 2nd. Joined by a close-knit group of friends and family, Heather and Stuart enjoyed a very private ceremony carried out by the Douglas General Registry, with a beautifully personal poem read by the Registrar, aboard the boat, already aptly named the Heather B ! Instead of an aisle, Heather walked down the plank to the sound of Il Divo’s version of the theme tune to Titanic! The nautical theme continued with photographs on Peel marina and beach followed by a fresh seafood buffet in the Peel Sailing and Cruising Club and an icing replica of the boat for a cake!

The sun is your skin’s biggest beauty enemy. With ozone levels at a record low and ultraviolet levels at all an all-time high, SPF should be part of our daily regimes, not something we reserve for holidays and heatwaves. Nearly a quarter of Brits (22%) only wear SPF when on holiday abroad, according to new research by Boots.
DILEMMA: I have leftover suncare from last summer and I’m not sure if it’s safe to use. SOLUTION: By law, any cosmetic product (including sunscreens) has to have a shelf-life of at least 30 months, or it has to be labelled with a use-by date. A product bought last summer should be fine to use up this summer, but products purchased two summers ago should probably be replaced. If you want to check a product, the best things to do is to look at it and smell it. It should appear bright and shiny with no seepage of any liquid (either watery or oily) and no separation. If there is any contamination, there’s usually an ‘off’ smell and the product should be discarded. DILEMMA: My make-up contains SPF but I don’t know if this is sufficient to protect me against the sun. SOLUTION: With ‘SPF’ written on many make up products, it can be tempting to skip applying sun protection all together, but this
can leave your skin dangerously exposed. The way you would apply foundation is unlikely to reach the SPF on the label. Get into the habit of using a high-factor SPF daily and then applying your make-up on top, or choose a high-tech SPF tinted moisturiser or sun BB. DILEMMA: I’m never entirely sure if I’m wearing enough SPF and how long each bottle should last. SOLUTION: A full body application should utilise at least 35ml, to ensure maximum coverage and complete protection. It’s often difficult to know how much is enough when it comes to applying sun lotion to yourself or your family, so look for guide bottles like Calypso’s Press And Protect, which has a chart on the back of the bottle showing how many presses are needed to cover each body part. DILEMMA: I burn very easily and would like to boost my skin’s resistance to sun damage. SOLUTION: Apart from applying an SPF and avoiding peak times when the sun is at its hottest, you can increase skin’s protection by eating antioxidants via fresh fruits and vegetables, or nutritional supplements. An excellent way to deliver powerful antioxidant protection to the skin is via topical application or Mesotherapy, which inserts an active cocktail of vitamins into the skin to provide key defence where it is needed.

n an attempt to check out his image and required credentials in 2014 Country Life magazine has launched its Gentleman of the Year Awards on how to identify a Modern Gentleman from a non gent.
BECAUSE QUALITY MATTERS
For statement lips, opt for a punchy red, like Topshop’s matte lipstick in Rio Rio, £8 (www.topshop.com).
She adds: “Manners suggests someone who thinks of the impact his actions have on others, like holding the door open for men and women alike and not chewing with his mouth open. While being clean and smelling nice, even if wearing a football shirt, is always a gentlemanly thing. I do draw the line at tattoos, I’m sure they are something a gentleman would never sport.”
BEAUTY HOARDING
If you’re celebrating your team’s victory after dark, make an impact with Ciate’s Corrupted Neon Shout Out kit. Sprinkle the glitter over wet polish for a sizzling finish and then light up the night with the clever topcoat, which glows under UV lights, £18 (Space NK).
‘We’re always keen to encourage drama group teams to visit the Island so we provide substantial travel allowances and are very grateful to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for their generous sponsorship, to the Isle of Man Arts Council, and to the Empress Hotel, which serves as festival HQ, for their support.’ The NDFA is keen that all generations and abilities have the opportunity to take part in amateur dramatics. ‘It was for this reason that in 2008 NDFA introduced a section in the finals devoted to those with learning difficulties. We’re enormously proud that the section made its début here in the Isle of Man that same year and that it prompted the formation of the Manx Gateway drama
group. And, in another move to promote amateur drama, the MADF set up a fund in 2008 to help some of the less financially resilient NDFA regional member groups stage future all-winners’ events. ‘The British All-Winners Festival of Plays, though, isn’t just about sitting in a theatre and watching a play. After every performance the adjudicator comes on stage to talk to the audience and goes into some detail about the play and the author’s aims, to heighten the playgoers’ enjoyment. ‘Simply put the aim of the festival is to provide as broad and inclusive a theatrical experience as possible.’

So the Modern Gentleman needs to heed good manners which, according to a recent guide to etiquette, underlines the fact they are definitely back in fashion. William Hanson, author of The Bluffer’s Guide to Etiquette believes the recession has done wonders for society’s manners.
Women waste 5,846 beauty products in their lifetime, amounting to an overall worth of £180,000, according to a new survey by Vaseline. Just 10% - that’s 649 - of beauty items purchased are used. On average, women buy 840 moisturisers, 360 nail varnishes and 300 lipsticks. Men, on the other hand, own an average of 12 products per year, 960 in their lifetime overall, and use all (100%) of them. The top three unused products hoarded by women are: nail varnishes, shampoo and conditioner, and lipsticks and lipglosses.

“When we suffer economically, we tend to focus on the parts of our lives that don’t cost money, like personal development. In the selfish boom years we’re greedy, it’s more ‘me, me, me’.” An interesting definition on what makes a gentleman comes from author Jilly Cooper, who will help judge the awards. He is someone, she says, who drives you home after he has been to bed with you while Joan Collins declares that a gentleman “never tells”.
in 2014
To most women the Modern Gentleman is now very much a family man. “When we look at some of the popular male role models such as David Beckham, Brad Pitt and Gary Barlow, men that women find attractive and men aspire to be like, the common denominator is that undoubtedly they are family men,” says Gillian Christian, senior associate with law firm Cains.
“Maybe I’m too old to talk about modern gentlemen but I would say a gentleman shouldn’t have pierced body parts and tattoos, so that would count Beckham out,” says Isle of Man-based retired businessman and entrepreneur Peter Verstage.
BUSINESS NIGHTLIFE
THERE ARE SOME CONCERTS THAT ARE SIMPLY MUCH MORE THAN CONCERTS. THEY ARE EVENTS.
“Certainly, they all dress well and are immaculately turned out, but it’s the respect they clearly have for their family which sets them apart. It’s something that’s become an increasingly important aspect of a celebrity’s public image. Gone are the days of the ‘bad boy’ era.”
For women an overriding expectation of their Modern Gent is that he will share the load 50/50 at home and is a role for the younger man that is newly aspirational.
T
his summer the Isle of Man will witness one such very special event. Pop royalty, The Jacksons will perform on the island for the very first time, in what promises to be a stunning show. Former original Jackson 5 members Marlon, Tito, Jermaine and Jackie have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. In 1970 they made music history as the first ever act to have all four of their debut singles go to number one on the American Billboard top 100. They instantly became an unstoppable global sensation.
“There is the apocryphal story of the man who asks the Lord where the toilets are and is told, ‘go down the corridor and turn right, you’ll see a door marked ‘Gentlemen’ but don’t let that deter you’.” A Modern Gentleman definitely doesn’t: •
Flash his cash
•
Talk to women’s chests
•
Get drunk and incapable
•
Be rude to waiters
•
Indulge in public displays of affection
•
Roar from the school touchline
•
Be slow to pick up the bill/get a round
•
Be greedy
•
Look bored
•
Be humourlessly opinionated

“A gentleman can still be discerned by his manners,” says Sarah Jarvis, marketing and PR manager with Sure. “Above all, if he is polite, thinks of himself after others and is genuinely pleasant to everyone, that would definitely make him a Modern Gentleman. I think a warm smile, good eye contact and a firm handshake will always be a gentlemanly thing.”

‘Interestingly, at a time when amateur drama festivals are on the decline in England, MADF’s Easter Festival of Plays at the Gaiety Theatre and the all-winners’ festival are, historically, oversubscribed.
Once upon a time a time the image was of tweed jackets, corduroy trousers, gentlemen’s clubs, cravat wearing smoothies and all too often alcohol soaked bigots.
KICK OFF YOUR TROPICAL SUMMER WITH THESE BRAZILIAN BEAUTIES.
Brown has gone via Brazil for beautifying inspiration. The limited edition Caju & Lime collection is inspired by Brazil’s signature cocktail, the Caipirinha, to celebrate the World Cup host. Layer up Body Wash, £18; Nourishing Body Lotion, £25 and Eau de Toilette, £36, to intensify the Brazilian spirit (www.moltonbrown.co.uk).
The festival is set to attract around 300 visitors, largely performers and officials. ‘This not only benefits the Manx economy but also makes for a great festival atmosphere as the majority of visitors stay for the whole week to enjoy the plays staged in one of Britain’s finest Victorian theatres, as well as the tours of the Island, theatre workshops and talks we arrange for them. This year we’re delighted that composer Stuart Brayson, who co-wrote the West End show From Here to Eternity with Sir Tim Rice, will be in conversation at the Empress Hotel with Tony Gibbs chief executive of NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association), sharing experiences and ideas to attract theatre audiences. Stuart will also be performing acoustic versions from the show.
Gentlemanliness is apparently Britain’s most enduring export but what makes a modern day gentleman?

Be a safe sun goddess with our expert golden guide. DILEMMA: I’d like to apply suncare in the mornings and be able to put my clothes on immediately afterwards. SOLUTION: Look for sun fluids with ‘Dry Touch’ technology. This type of suncare was a breakthrough in the US in 2013 and addressed a significant barrier for people who found sunscreen too thick and sticky for comfort. The same technology is becoming more popular over in the UK now too.
‘There’s a rigorous selection process we apply. NDFA council members read every play and to make sure standards remain high, we only consider productions awarded 80 or more marks out of a possible 100. And our final decision is based not only on marks awarded but also on the judges’ remarks. In other words, we look at the productions as a whole, not just at the performers’ acting skills.’

According to Country Life editor Mark Hedges a Modern Gentleman will text but never tweet, that’s seen as vulgar and showing off, nor would he be seen shirtless in public, eg Simon Cowell, definitely doesn’t eat in the street, may be drunk but never disorderly. He’s at ease in any situation, always puts others at ease and is a considerate lover, making love on his elbows!
