OK, Gentlemen

YOU’VE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR YOUR TURN. Last month, we brought you our Ladies issue—it is ladies first, after all—and this month, we present our “Gents” issue, celebrating all things masculine.

Of course, there’s Father’s Day on June 16—and there are so many more reasons why it’s great to be a guy this month. With the summer season underway, the long, sunny days can be filled with backyard cookouts, baseball games, camping trips, fishing excursions and so much more.

To gather information for this issue, we looked to the experts: the men of​ Chesterfield! You might even recognize a few faces. ​Wanting to get shape this summer and looking to improve your physical fitness? Are you ready for better skin with the latest in technology?

So, gents, crack open a cold one—or make it a perfect date night with our featured choice for dinner and a movie—because this month is all about you!

“These treatments and products simply weren’t an option for men in the past, because we didn’t even know they existed,” he says.

Jahidi says now spa-based options for men are tremendous ways to “preserve health and sexiness.”

Coming from an athletic and team-dominated background, Jahidi says men who used to be interested in cosmetics and primping products were called “pretty boys.”

“Now, we’re all being that guy,” he chuckles.

Beth says skinBe professionals also are able to help stimulate hair follicles for anyone who suffers from hair loss with their PRP treatment.

“Nutrition and hydration can play a key role in hair, skin and nail health. Oftentimes, we combine this with a skinBe cocktail drip loaded with nutrients and extra biotin to achieve optimal hair growth and results.”

“Not only do we offer options that require no downtime, but we also deliver advanced techniques to get optimal results. More than ever, men are understanding the value of skincare. Skincare is the foundation of everything anti-aging; without it, everything else would be a waste,” Beth says.

Men taking steps in this healthy spa arena is simply about feeling the best they can feel, from the inside out!

LANDMARK THEATRES PLAZA FRONTENAC CINEMA Just a floor above the Canyon Café in Plaza Frontenac, you will find one of the most quaint and exclusive art house movie theaters in St. Louis. And if you’re looking for the perfect dessert option after your meal, you can find St. Louis’ own Ted Drewes frozen custard in the concession area, along with the most scrumptious popcorn and candy options you can find anywhere. But, if having a libation while you watch a newly released film is more of what you had in mind, Plaza Frontenac Cinema serves craft beer options, along with wine daily throughout the week. And if you visit on the weekends, there are full bar options to enjoy, including an exclusive selection of spirits, along with sophisticated cocktails made just for you.

YESTERDAY What happens when you combine Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), with Oscar-nominated screenwriter Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually)? You get the perfect romantic comedy for your next date night when you get the opportunity to meet Jack Malik (Himesh Patal), a struggling singer-songwriter with big dreams of becoming a star, even though it seems those dreams are fading fast. When a freak accident seems to have whipped the Beatles and their incredible music from existence, Jack now finds himself in a very peculiar situation, when he starts performing the greatest songs of all time to a world that has never heard them before. As Jack is thrust into the spotlight, he finds that the life he’s longed for isn’t quite as sweet as he thought it would be. And it might just cost him the only person in his life he’s ever truly cared about.

Rated PG-13, Yesterday also stars Lily James, Ana de Armas, Kate McKinnon, Ed Sheeran and James Corden and is scheduled for release in theatres on June 28.

Rich’s travel escapades began when he was 17 years old. Unbeknownst to his parents, he skipped school and used an aviation pass to fly to and from Washington, D.C., all in one day, making it home in time to join supper. His next secret trip to Florida didn’t end well when an airline worker alerted his pilot father that he had someone to welcome at the airport!

M.D. STANDS FOR MAGICAL DOCTOR

Chesterfield Lifestyle | June 2019

(CON TI N UED)

JUST ONE OF DR. SILBER'S

Amy Tucker family

SUCCESS STORIES: One area cancer survivor is ecstatic with Dr. Silber's knowledge and expertise.

When Amy Tucker was 19, she was diagnosed with advanced cancer and was told she would never have children, even if her cancer could be cured.

In 1997, Amy’s treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma

began

with

chemotherapy.

She did go into remission, but her cancer returned. In 1998, she needed more sterilizing cancer treatment. One of her health care providers told her about Dr. Silber’s pioneering research in fertility preservation, and she decided to have him remove and freeze one of her ovaries.

Amy has been in remission since 2001.

But the treatment that saved her life also left her menopausal and otherwise unable to have children.

"Freezing my ovary didn't delay chemo treatment, so I gave it a shot," Amy says.

"I didn't really have time to think how life-changing transplants might be."

In January 2009, Amy returned to Dr. Silber so he could transplant her ovarian tissue, which more than a decade earlier was frozen. By working with him, she became a grateful mother of a son born in 2010: Grant Patrick Tucker.

Dr. Silber says Amy is the first U.S. cancer survivor to give birth to a baby as a result of ovary freezing and transplantation.

Amy kept on that path with Dr. Silber, but the second section of her frozen ovary never resulted in a pregnancy. Still remaining optimistic, Amy and her husband tried another transplant from the third and last section of her frozen ovary, which fortunately resulted in their daughter, Faith, being born in 2016.

She says after they had two children, of both genders, they were thinking life is good. Then, boom—the surprise pregnancy of twins came along! Harper and Avery were born about 16 months later in 2018.

"I think we were in shock during that entire pregnancy," she admits.

Amy's tip to others facing infertility is to accept there will be struggles but to lean on faith, be open to new research and to allow things to happen in time.

“WITH HALF AN HOUR OF GETTING MY SEVERANCE DEAL, I BOOKED THREE FLIGHTS: ONE TO ARGENTINA TO RIDE HORSES AND LEARN THE TANGO, ONE TO COLORADO TO SKI FOR A MONTH AND ONE TO THE HIMALAYAS.”

STEPHEN SPARROW IS ON A MISSION SAVING THE SNOW LEOPARD ONE BOTTLE OF VODKA AT A TIME ARTICLE LINDA F. JARRETT

46

Chesterfield Lifestyle | June 2019

WHEN TRANSPLANTED ENGLISHMAN AND ENTREPRENEUR STEPHEN SPARROW TOOK A TRIP TO THE HIMALAYAS AND LEARNED THERE WERE LESS THAN 7,000 SNOW LEOPARDS LEFT IN EXISTENCE, HIS INNATE SENSE OF PHILANTHROPISM BEGAN TO STIR. Stephen’s interest in helping others began after graduating from Oxford University when he established a charity in Grahamstown, South Africa, for underprivileged children to get an education.

Working on safaris also spurred his interest in wildlife conservation.

It was a long and winding road to producing vodka, however.

After working in a London law firm for a few weeks, he joined Jackie Stewart’s racing team, Stewart Grand Prix 1998, that subsequently became Jaguar Racing.

After six years, he moved to Allied Domecq, an international spirits company, as global vice president, but a year later, the company was sold.

“With half an hour of getting my severance deal, I booked three flights: one to Argentina to ride horses and learn the tango, one to Colorado to ski for a month and one to the Himalayas,” he says.

The flight to the Himalayas changed Stephen’s life.

Although he did not see the snow leopard on that trip, he learned that the animal is a keystone creature in the central Asian mountain range which provides the water source to 60% of the planet.

He found out about the Snow Leopard Trust that helps local communities living near snow leopards, and when he returned to London, he established a subsidiary.

“You help snow leopards by helping the local communities predator-proof their livestock, educate the villagers to avoid retaliation killings and incentivize them to protect the leopards,” he says.

“I was interested in the Snow Leopard Trust because it was about community-based conservation, and the way you help the snow leopard survive in the wild is by helping the local people,” he says.

Stephen knew the booze business from his work with Allied Domecq, so to fund the trust, he trademarked the Snow Leopard name for a vodka, a product that mirrored the majesty of the creature he wanted to save from extinction.

“It would have to be a great vodka made from the greatest grain,” he says. “I chose spelt which is the purest and most expensive wheat and has a lovely vanilla, nutty flavor that transcends into the vodka.

“It’s distilled in Poland since the Poles make the best vodka and have been making it the longest,” he says.

With his apartment as his office, he used his bicycle, “Geronimo,” to deliver the vodka to nine pubs around London.

“My close friend, Peter Phillips, the Queen’s eldest grandson, served Snow Leopard Vodka as the only drink at his wedding at Windsor Castle,” he says, “and Prince William was photographed getting off a helicopter with a three-liter bottle of Snow Leopard in his hand, and that got in the press.”

Stephen knew that if he wanted to fully fund the Trust, he would have to get a trade partner. Six years ago, he merged with The Edrington Group who urged him to move to America, where super-premium vodka is the most popular.

“And the Midwest, in particular, is where we had a good distributor and where there are a lot of independent bars and restaurants, and Midwesterners are a friendly lot,” he says, smiling. “I’m a Cardinals and Blues fan now, and we’ve done Jammin’ at the Zoo and some events at the Missouri Botanical Garden.”

Stephen finally got not only a look but a picture of a snow leopard.

A severe cold front struck Mongolia nine years ago, wiping out much of the villagers’ livestock, and Stephen realized they would be desperate.

“The Trust was just starting, but I raided my bank and donated $15,000 to the 200 families, and they asked me to come and visit,” he says.

“I went to Mongolia, and on my fourth day, we were trekking and came across an ibex carcass,” he says.

“I saw a snow leopard and managed to get a picture with my handheld camera, and I’m elated,” he says. “We’re walking back, and an old man from the village was sitting on a wall and asked my translator, ‘Why is that man from far far away so smiley?’ She said that I’d just gotten a great shot of a snow leopard, and I was thankful that I’d been invited to Mongolia. The old man smiled and said to my translator, ‘No, the snow leopard came to pay his respects.’”

The Snow Leopard Trust receives 15% from each bottle sold.

what it is There are many different types of fades, but ultimately a fade haircut is one that tapers in length the further down you go on the back and sides, meaning it isn’t trimmed to just one standard length all around. The level of fade (low, mid or high) depends on what point the shortest part of the hair begins to fade into a longer length.

The quiff

what it is Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back.

The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take.

ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to brush back instead of standing straight up.

PARTING THOUGHTS

Jim Mills T r i b u t e

ST. LOUIS MOTORCARS' PARTNER LOST AT YOUNG AGE OF 56 ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON

ONE OF JIM MILLS’ PASSIONS IN LIFE WAS CARS, TOPPED ONLY BY HIS FAMILY. As co-owner of St. Louis Motorcars at 1 Arnage Blvd. in Chesterfield, Jim—also known as J.J.—led by example and was considered an amazing person, business partner, boss, mentor, community leader, family member and friend.

Unfortunately, on April 8, he died unexpectedly.

England native Graham Hill, who’s been Jim’s business partner since 2000–2001, says he relished teaching Jim the ropes of the auto industry and building a destination dealership together in Chesterfield starting in 2002. Prior to that, J.J. ran a $200 million corporation. He had held positions of increasing responsibility with corporations in the previous 15 years of his business career. He was known for having excellent business experience, knowledge and acumen.

“J.J. was well-rounded, and we traveled all over Europe together,” Graham says. “Some of our best times came from exploring classic and exotic cars.”

St. Louis Motorcars now is a factoryauthorized Motorcar Dealership for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Bentley Motors, Aston Martin, Lotus, Lamborghini and Bugatti.

Graham says he focused on sales while J.J. spearheaded operations and services of the dealership. In that capacity, Graham says J.J. often could be found with oil and grease up to his elbows.

“He was always rebuilding things and kept me guessing about what I would see.”

Graham says J.J. was a huge gun enthusiast who also amassed military equipment, such as World War II machines. He adds J.J. also loved his dogs and that he stayed red-eyed for a week
