Big Pilot’s Watch. Ref. 5004: Your wrist never felt this big before. Because the neatly arranged dial, so strongly reminiscent of cockpit instruments, contains everything you need for highaltitude flying with a safe, soft landing at the end. Small wonder, then, that IWC’s Pilot’s Watches have been around almost as long as aircrafts themselves. The first model was launched way back in 1936 and was followed four years later by the Big Pilot’s Watch with its 52 T.S.C. pocket watch calibre. The largest wristwatch of them all from IWC was equipped with a chunky crown and an extra long strap that permitted it to be worn over a flying suit.

Its precision was already up to chronometer standards. Another legendary Pilot’s Watch from Schaffhausen was the Mark 11, built between 1948 and 1984. It was the first model whose movement was housed in a second soft-iron inner case to protect it against magnetic fields.

But the history of IWC began much earlier than that. In 1868, an American watchmaker, F. A. Jones, founded the International Watch Company in Schaffhausen. Since then, the firm’s engineers have developed countless watches, such as the Grande Complication, the Ingenieur F. A. Jones. line, the Portu guese models, the Pilot’s Watch family, the Da Vinci and the Aquatimer

series. ‘Probus Scafusia’ (good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen) encapsulates this philosophy, and for over 100 years has been IWC’s seal of quality. The many technical achievements and innovations that have their origins in Schaffhausen have borne impressive testimony to this for over 140 years.

The Big Pilot’s Watch of today is the sum total of over 70 years’ experience in the design of Pilot’s Watches. It consists of 357 individual parts and has a case measuring 46.2 mm IWC-manufactured in diameter. The screw balance and precision adjustment guar- movement. antee excellent timekeeping. The pawl-winding system named after Albert Pellaton is bidirectional and builds up a seven-day power reserve, visible on the display, in next to no time. The soft-iron inner case protects the large IWC-manufactured 51111-calibre, even against strong magnetic fields. And, needless to say, envious glances.

MONTBLANC. THE TIMEWRITERS.

In 1821, Nicolas Rieussec changed watch-making forever with the invention of the first chronograph. Since “chronograph” literally means “writing time”, the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph rewrites timepiece history. Crafted in the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland, this masterpiece is a worthy tribute to its visionary namesake. Monopusher chronograph, self-winding manufacture movement. 30 min. and 60 sec. rotating disc counters fixed on the counter bridge.

PROFESSION: PILOT CAREER: ACTOR People are acquainted with the star, the multi-faceted actor. But John Travolta is also a seasoned pilot with more than 5,000 flight hours under his belt, and is certified on eight different aircraft, including the Boeing 747-400 Jumbo Jet. He nurtures a passion for everything that embodies the authentic spirit of aviation. Like Breitling wrist instruments. Founded in 1884, Breitling has shared all the finest hours in aeronautical history. Its chronographs meet the highest standards of precision, sturdiness and functionality, and are all equipped with movements that are chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute). One simply does not become an aviation supplier by chance.

v FROM THE PUBLISHER

The Message is the Medium friend recently asked me about the magazine business and the impact that innovations such as tablet computers (e.g., iPads) and electronic readers (e.g., Kindles) are having on the industry.

He didn’t say so directly, but his question implied that we probably perceive them as competition.

Quite the opposite, I answered. Why would we worry about anything that makes it easier to connect with the people who want to hear from us?

Sometimes, reality gets lost amid the hype. It’s common knowledge that audiences are spurning newspapers and broadcast media for online news and entertainment, but magazines are different. People still love magazines. Research says, in fact, readership is higher than ever, and includes an expanding audience of younger people. Readers still seek the kind of content magazines deliver. A new study from Affinity says 188 million American adults consider themselves magazine readers.

That’s about 90 percent of the U.S. adult population and holding steady.

Time and again, people say they enjoy magazines because they offer relevant, useful information as well as a tactile, visual and thoroughly engaging experience they can enjoy at their own pace. Even in this fast-paced world, magazine readers overwhelmingly make time to savor every page—editorial and advertising alike—and they ultimately regard magazines more trustworthy, more inspiring and more relaxing than any other medium.

Still, the best magazine companies have seized and acted upon the opportunities created by emerging technology. We can present messages in unique ways—video, searchable lists, podcasts or other additional content—as a companion to our print products, or let them stand on their own for audiences that prefer an electronic environment. Most top publishers have learned how to effectively blend the strengths of online media with the traditionally rich quality of print.

At our company, where most of us love our smartphones and other gadgets, we have embraced technology as an ever-growing pipeline for getting information into the hands of those who actively want it. Even so, chew on this for a while: In the 13 years since Google launched, U.S. magazine readership has grown by 11 percent, according to GfK Mediamark Research & Intelligence, an independent organization that studies consumer habits.

Yes, I told my friend, the magazine industry is just fine. Magazines have maintained their prominent place in the marketplace of information and ideas, even as new avenues arise. Our goal tomorrow will be the same as today: to create great products for motivated audiences and the advertisers who want to reach them—and deliver them every way we can.

t’s never easy compiling our annual signature feature, “The Palm Beach 20”—not because there is a shortage of fascinating Palm Beachers to spotlight, but because the list of candidates is so long that editing it down to a mere 20 is a challenge in itself. We should think ourselves fortunate for being surrounded by so many interesting characters from every walk of life, from entertainers to equestrians and from athletes to aristocrats.

This year’s lineup—our fourth annual—is a stellar representation of the complex and diverse world that is Palm Beach. To mention just a few of the names: Butch Trucks, the original drummer from the Allman Brothers who’s still at it after 42 years and has recently launched a business that may change the way we see live music; Bill Bone, the well-known trial lawyer, cycling team sponsor and community volunteer whose involvement—and infectious enthusiasm—earned him the chairmanship of the Palm Beach Centennial Commission; energy magnate Bill Koch, who recently founded a preparatory high school in West Palm Beach, giving students a huge new scope of educational opportunities; and internationally known dance photographer Steve Caras, whose life is the subject of a new documentary that will air on PBS nationwide. For the full list of “The Palm Beach 20,” turn to page 88.

While the “20” is the centerpiece of the March issue, there is much more to read. For starters, we focus on the vibrant spring collections with our fashion editorial featuring color blocks and patterns (“The Bright Stuff,” page 112) and our annual “From Runway to Reality” feature (page 130), where we distill runway trends down to their most wearable essence, with emphasis on the Palm Beach wardrobe. And for style that extends to entertaining, be sure to check out “The Ultimate Gift” (page 122), where we chronicle a fundraising dinner party at the home of Annie and Michael Falk. The scene was as beautiful as the purpose.

Enjoy the issue, and don’t forget to visit us at palmbeachillustrated.com for more content, including exclusive features, party photos, blogs and videos.

Important Safety Information What is the most important information you should know about Dysport ?

Spread of Toxin Effects: In some cases, the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may affect areas of the body away from the injection site. These effects can cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Symptoms of botulism can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death.

The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children and adults treated for muscle spasms, particularly in those patients who have underlying medical conditions that could make these symptoms more likely.

toxin product in the past, a breathing problem (such as asthma or emphysema), swallowing problems, bleeding problems, diabetes, a slow heart beat or other problem with your heart rate or rhythm, plans to have surgery, had surgery on your face, weakness of your forehead muscles (such as trouble raising your eyebrows), drooping eyelids, or any other change in the way your face normally looks. Patients with a disease that affects muscles and nerves who are treated with typical doses of Dysport may have a higher risk of serious side effects, including severe swallowing and breathing problems.

Human Albumin This product contains albumin taken from human plasma. Steps taken during donor screening and product manufacturing processes make the risk of spreading viral diseases extremely rare. In theory, there is also an extremely rare risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). No cases of spread of viral diseases or CJD have ever been reported for albumin.

Allergic Reaction to Injecting in the Skin

The toxic effects have been reported at doses similar to those used to treat muscle spasms in the neck. Lower doses, in both approved and unapproved uses, have also caused toxic effects. This includes treatment of children and adults for muscle spasms.

It is not known if an allergic reaction can be caused by injecting Dysport into the skin. The safety of treating excessive sweating with Dysport is not known.

These effects could make it unsafe for you to drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.

The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.

Do not have Dysport treatment if you: are allergic to Dysport or any of its ingredients (see the end of the Medication Guide for a list of ingredients), are allergic to cow’s milk protein, had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc® or Botox,® or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.

The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product. The dose of Dysport cannot be compared to the dose of any other botulinum toxin product you may have used.

Dysport may not be right for you if: you have surgical changes to your face, very weak muscles in the treatment area, your face looks very different from side to side, the injection site is inflamed, you have droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds, deep facial scars, thick oily skin, or if your wrinkles can’t be smoothed by spreading them apart.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have: a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), allergies to any botulinum toxin product or had any side effect from any botulinum

Common Side Effects

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products.

Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects.

Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first.

Especially tell your doctor if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months, have received injections of botulinum toxin, such as Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB) or Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) in the past (be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received), have recently received an antibiotic by injection, take muscle relaxants, take an allergy or cold medicine, or take a sleep medicine.

Use In Specific Populations Dysport should not be used in children or in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Ask your doctor if Dysport is right for you.

What is Dysport ?

Dysport is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used: t UP USFBU UIF BCOPSNBM IFBE QPTJUJPO and neck pain that happens with cervical dystonia (CD) in adults t UP JNQSPWF UIF MPPL PG NPEFSBUF UP severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults younger than 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary) CD is caused by muscle spasms in the neck. These spasms cause abnormal position of the head and often neck pain. After Dysport is injected into muscles, those muscles are weakened for up to 12 to 16 weeks or longer. This may help lessen your symptoms.

Frown lines (wrinkles) happen because the muscles that control facial expression are used often (muscle tightening over and over).

After Dysport is injected into the muscles that control facial expression, the medicine stops the tightening of these muscles for up to 4 months.

It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective in children under 18Â years of age.

It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective for the treatment of other types of muscle spasms. It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective for the treatment of other wrinkles.

forward QUESTIONS

Q 3

v LEIGH ANNE TUOHY

For Leigh Anne Tuohy the saying “to whom much is given, much is required” makes all the sense in the world. A few years ago, Tuohy and husband Sean adopted Michael Oher. Their story was chronicled in the 2009 movie The Blind Side. She and Sean have established Making It Happen to help underserved youth. Tuohy speaks at Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County’s thirteenth annual Old Bags Luncheon at The Breakers on March 22.

■ WHAT WILL BE YOUR MESSAGE AT THE LUNCHEON? That we all have value and God created everyone equally. I hope that after people hear me speak, they realize that most of the time we value people incorrectly and that, given the least bit of love and opportunity, you can change a life or improve someone’s lot in life.

■ WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST CHANGE IN YOUR FAMILY’S LIFE SINCE THE BLIND SIDE? We no longer have our lives as we knew them, and that is not all bad. We are humbled to get to go around speaking about the Michael Ohers of this world, who need an opportunity and a chance.

■ WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN OR TO RELAX? We have a home in the Florida Panhandle and I haven’t been there in almost a year. I have planned a few relaxing activities but each time something supersedes the plan. I believe, right now, while we have a platform and people are willing to listen, the more children we can get adopted, out of foster care and into forever families, then we have to keep forging ahead.

The Iron Mask Facial uses products by Dermophisiologique that cleanse, purify and firm your skin for a younger and brighter look. The unique treatment combines iron, lipids, zinc, beeswax and black cure oil. The application creates a magnetic field as it is massaged in to the skin creating a nonchemical mechanical toning action. The iron particles absorb dead skin cells and stimulate microcirculation. A special magnet is used to remove the iron particles and impurities for a deep-down clean, leaving your skin noticeably firmer and younger looking. (561-6533399, beautetherapies.com)

The Nam Hai is more than Vietnam’s first modern luxury resort. It symbolizes a closed economy opening its doors to the world. The beachside haven, which has appeared on the “best” lists of myriad travel publications since it opened in 2007, strives to stay ahead of the competition it inspired.

Located near the quaint ancient city of Hoi An, the resort immediately impresses, with palm trees towering over its 86 acres. Giant pools blend into the sweeping East Sea and the broad shorelineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tawny sand stretches for miles.

After arriving at the open reception area gleaming with rich teak, guests are whisked by golf cart to a lovely villa offering breathtaking views of the ocean. Under a tile roof inspired by traditional Vietnamese garden houses, a raised central platform supports a white-blanketed bed with black posts draped with soft gauze

curtains, which at night create the feeling of sleeping in a cozy cocoon. Behind the bed sits an eggshell-lacquer soaking tub, reflecting the multiple uses of Vietnamese living spaces. The bathroom is stunningly constructed of local stone. A separate, second shower is set in a private garden outside.

The accommodations are divided into one-bedroom hotel villas, and one- to fivebedroom privately owned pool villas. All are equipped with Bose sound systems, iPods preloaded with music, flat-screen televisions, Wi-Fi and a wet bar. Infinity pools distinguish the 40 privately owned villas, which feature 74

Range Rover’s Supercharged Autobiography is still the best 4x4 by far.

BY HOWARD WALKER

The most frequently asked question we auto critics get, apart from “Any chance you can arrange a Lamborghini for my kid’s bar mitzvah?,” is “What’s the best car?”

My usual answer tends to have more “Depends” in it than a Boca retirement home. Depends whether money’s no object—if not, go for a Rolls Phantom. Depends whether you want something for fun or functionality—go for fun every time. Depends whether you want to get ticketed for speeding every 15 minutes—hello, Bugatti Veyron.

Every once in a while, I’ll ponder this weighty conundrum over a Starbucks chai latte. Trouble is, I always come up with the same, semipredictable answer. Range Rover.

This piece of merry Olde England has come a long way since the first rude and crude examples sloshed through mud more than 40 years ago. These days, not only is it still the best 4x4 by far, it is a true leather-lined luxury sedan that can rub hubcaps with the likes of BMW’s 7-series, Mercedes’ S-Class and even Bentley’s Continental.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

What I love is its peerless combination of towering capability—it really will get you to the top of Kanjanjunga, just select low ratio—coupled with true technical sophistication and sumptuous, I-could-move-in-tomorrow luxury.

Take the latest 2011 Range Rover Autobiography I shared a few days with recently. It comes with a hand-stitched, glove-soft leather roof liner. And rear seats that not only power recline, but feature heating and cooling, and adjustable lumber support.

Throw in individual rear-seat DVD screens, laminated door glass to mute outdoor noise, and it’s like being in your own home movie theater. Junior Mints, anyone?

And you haven’t heard anything until you’ve heard Clapton played through the Autobiography’s thumping 1,200-watt, 19speaker Harman Kardon system. You could blow out the windows if you get crazy with the volume.

But it’s the fundamental rightness of the cabin that is so appealing. You sit high up in most big SUVs, but in the Range Rover the tops of the doors and dash are way low, and the windows so

And to drive it is to adore it. These days, the Range Rover shares a brand new 5.0-liter V-8 with Jaguarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship XJ sedan. Tuned for the Rover, this supercharged powerhouse cranks out a massive 510 horsepower and stump-uprooting 461 pound-feet of torque.

With all that muscle being directed to all four wheels through a Teflon-smooth six-speed automatic, the Autobiography can lunge from standstill to 60 mph in a staggering 5.9 seconds. Hitting the throttle is like opening the floodgates at the Hoover Dam; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much accelerate as whoooosh.

Of course I could fill the magazine with a description of all the Range Roverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical wizardry that enables it to climb up the sides of buildings. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s its patented Terrain Response system, its trio of locking differentials, its Hill Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control. Or its air suspension that can levitate the car to give a full 11 inches of ground clearance.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all truly remarkable stuff if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wading through water up to your door handles, or you take a wrong turn in the Serengeti.

But trust me, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably never need it. All you need to know is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like having a Swiss Army knife in your back

pocket, or 64 gigs, rather than 16, on your iPad. That said, take a Land Rover Experience driving school course, like I haveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;maybe at the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, or the Equinox in Manchester Village, Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and you will be blown away by the sheer off-road prowess of this remarkable machine. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even hose off the mud after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done.

Downsides? All that power and weight translates into so-so fuel economy. The official figures are 12 mpg in the city, 18 on the highway. And the folks at J.D. Power and Associates never think too much of Range Rover quality.

But here is the car for all seasons, a car for all reasons. Yes, it will set you back $109,965 for the loaded-to-the-gunwales Autobiographyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$21,485 over the standard supercharged model. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small price to pay for the only vehicle youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever need in life. â&#x2014;&#x2020;

Palm Beach Illustrated’s annual look at the fascinating people who are shaping the local landscape

The Movie Star GEORGE HAMILTON

Photographed by Robert Nelson at The Colony Hotel, Palm Beach

Actor George Hamilton has had a long presence in Palm Beach County. With his mother Anne, Hamilton moved to Palm Beach and attended Palm Beach High School. Now Hamilton splits his time between Los Angeles, where his eponymous production company is based, and West Palm Beach, where his 10-year-old son attends school. When Hamilton isn’t traveling around the world with his second son, he is, of course, working.

Hamilton finished filming a TV pilot in the Keys called Last Resort, and is involved in the upcoming documentary on his childhood friend, American photojournalist Sean Flynn. He’s also considering several parts, including one in the traveling production of La Cage Aux Folles and a movie about the art world. Hamilton also donates his time to work with Operation USA.

The Philanthropist MICHELE KESSLER

Photographed by Robert Nelson at the Kessler residence, Palm Beach

In Palm Beach social circles, Michele Kessler is known as the powerhouse chairman behind such major fundraisers as the International Red Cross Ball and the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach Gala. But not everyone is aware of her work on behalf of causes that are, perhaps, less glamorous and less wellknown. She serves as the global ambassador of the American Red Cross’ Measles Initiative—and not in name only. As the ambassador, she personally travels to places where measles is a threat (she recently was in Madagascar) and helps secure major gifts to vaccinate children around the world. “We’ve reduced measles by as much as 80 or 90 percent,” she says. Kessler also is passionate about erasing the stigma attached to mental health, and co-chairs the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Leadership Council for Psychiatry. And this is only the tip of her philanthropic iceberg, which also involves board seats on the William J. Clinton Foundation, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the United Way of Palm Beach, among others.

The Innovator

bill Koch

Photographed by Robert Nelson at Oxbow Carbon, West Palm Beach

Bill Koch’s father, Fred, instilled the importance of getting a good education in order to succeed in life from the time he was a young boy. Koch has always taken that lesson to heart, and is passing it on to his own six children with the creation of Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches, a private high school Koch founded that will welcome its first students in September. Koch, who also is the founder and president of the West Palm Beach-based Oxbow Carbon, found the perfect location for the school in the former Jewish Community Center in West Palm Beach. His goal is to have a school that is “run for the best benefit of the children,” and he is working toward that goal by finding the best administrators and teachers from across the country. In his rare spare time, Koch, who won the America’s Cup in 1992, still enjoys yachting competitively, as well as adding to his expansive wine and art collections.

The Leader BILL BONE

Photographed by Gregory Ross at the Worth Avenue Clock Tower, Palm Beach

When the Town of Palm Beach was looking for leading citizens to populate its Centennial Commission, Bill Bone was an obvious choice. The Palm Beach resident and founding partner of the Larmoyeux & Bone law firm has a reputation for getting things done, both in and out of the courtroom. Bone was ultimately elected chairman by his fellow commission members, and is overseeing the effort to honor the town’s 100-year anniversary through official and private events. Bone, who “was born in Good Sam and have lived in Palm Beach County all my life,” has long had an interest in such milestone celebrations. In 1987, as a young lawyer, he devised and led the plan to celebrate the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution; it was the first event ever held on Flagler Drive. When not working on behalf of clients or the community, Bone, a passionate recreational cyclist, sponsors the Bill Bone Racing Team, and is the “very proud father” of four teenagers.

The Collector JANE HOLZER

Photographed by Robert Nelson at the “Living Wall” on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach

Jane Holzer has a word for her motivation to collect: “sickness.” The former model, actress and Warhol “superstar” often referred to as Baby Jane Holzer has been buying art since the 1960s, and has developed both a significant collection and strong ties to the art world. In many ways, art has been a defining passion in Holzer’s life, but her love for Palm Beach is equally enduring. She grew up in Palm Beach and still has a home here, in addition to her residence in New York, so she feels very entrenched in the town. As a property owner on Worth Avenue, she was heavily involved in the restoration of the world-famous shopping street and currently is busy finding artists whose work can be exhibited at the pedestrian plaza along Hibiscus. She also curates the exhibitions of art and some jewelry for A.R.T. Worth Avenue, giving clients a glimpse at such significant works as Andy Warhol’s “Diamond Dust” paintings.

The Image Maker STEVEN CARAS

Photographed by Robert Nelson at the Kravis Center, West Palm Beach

In the realm of American dance photographers, West Palm Beach resident Steven Caras is a standout. A dancer with New York City Ballet for 14 years, he was noticed by the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, George Balanchine*, not only for his talent on stage but behind the lens, as well. From that initial encouragement was born a career as one of the foremost dance photographers of our time. Recently, Caras, who also is an author, lecturer and ballet master, was noticed by Emmy Award-winning filmmakers John Witek and Deborah Novak.

The duo chronicled his life in a public television documentary, Steven Caras: See Them Dance, which premiered February 24 at the Kravis Center and will air nationwide.

Photographed by Rob Nelson in studio

Best-selling suspense writer Tami Hoag is living a double life in Wellington.

Sometimes, she’s the brilliant author of 31 novels (“I think. I quit counting.”) with more on the way. Other times, she is a competitive equestrian, currently active in the challenging field of dressage. To train, she rides with a coach four times a week during the season, and rides all four of her horses every day. It was because of the horses that she became a year-round resident last year, as they could get the best care in Wellington’s famous horse community. Her latest novel, Secrets to the Grave, was just released, and she is getting started on her next book. When she’s not writing, researching or riding, Hoag enjoys being with friends and making trips to one of her favorite destinations—The Shoe Spa in Palm Beach Gardens.

Steve Rifkind is an urban music pioneer, founding Loud Records in 1992, which was home to Wu-Tang Clan, Three 6 Mafia and Xzibit, and Street Records Corporation (SRC) in 2002, which is distributed

by Universal Records. Rifkind discovered Boca Raton about a dozen years ago. Despite the long work commute to Los Angeles, Rifkind, who serves as CEO of SRC, moved to Boca with his children. In 2008, Rifkindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was diagnosed with breast cancer, at the same time local breast cancer organization Think Pink Rocks launched. The organization touched Rifkind on a personal level, and since its creation, Rifkind and SRC have done their part in the war against cancer, providing entertainment such as Queen Latifah and other SRC artists for the annual Think Pink Rocks concert.

The Fashion Veteran STEVEN STOLMAN

Photographed by Alissa Dragun at CityPlace South Tower, West Palm Beach

Steven Stolman is a man of many talents. The founder and creative director of his own line of resort wear, he eventually got out of the apparel business to work for a nonprofit, FoundCare, because he wanted to contribute in a meaningful way. But he missed fashion too much and, in a fortuitous coincidence, was asked by the Lilly Pulitzer company to serve as consulting designer and curator of its fiftieth anniversary retrospective. Now he moves in both worlds, as the design director of the shoe company Jack Rogers, which is slated to expand into a full lifestyle brand, and the special events director for Palm Beach Opera. “I’ve always been a multitasker,” he says, “way before that term was even invented.”

When Blair Brandt returned to Palm Beach after graduating from the University of Richmond, he went to work for real estate broker Christian Angle, where he had worked during school vacations as Angleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant. Brandt, 23, soon began helping college friends find a place to live upon graduation. The word of mouth about Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill soon spread. In May 2010, he and his friend, Belton Baker, launched The Next Step Realty, a company that hooks up newly graduated young professionals with leasing brokers who will help them find an apartment. The site currently has connections in 17 U.S. cities and 11 in Europe. As the only company marketing directly to new graduates, the customer base has grown steadily through social networking sites and word of mouth. Brandt is often quoted in the financial press, including Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the horn-rimmed glasses and mild-mannered demeanor fool you. Steve Geffrard is one of the fastest, quickest and strongest heavyweight amateur boxers in the country. Geffrard, 20, discovered the sport at 13 while exercising at the Boca Raton Police Athletic League. In 2010, the Boca Raton native, who now is a freshman at Nova Southeastern University studying business administration, won the triple crown of boxing and was named Male Athlete of the Year by USA Boxing. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next? The London Summer Olympics. Geffrard has secured a spot for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in August. When he is not studying and training, Geffrard works with Florida Youth Shines, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Photographed by Robert Nelson, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club & Spa, Jupiter

Mike Eruzione will always be remembered as the United States hockey team captain who scored the winning goal against the Soviets in the 1980 Olympics. But Eruzione is more than a winning goal. He created Winthrop Charities, named after his hometown of Winthrop, Massachusetts, an organization that donates funds to in-need Winthrop residents. He also serves as the assistant hockey coach at his former high school, director of special outreach for his alma mater, Boston University, is a motivational speaker and an independent business owner for all-natural health and wellness company Qivana. Eruzione has settled down comfortably in his role as a part-time local resident, staying at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club & Spa, Jupiter, where he has been a fractional homeowner and an ambassador for the club for the past five years, and enjoys playing golf. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an 8-handicap, by the way.

Paige Johnson

Photographed by Robert Nelson at the Salamander Farm, Wellington

Tomboy and beauty are adjectives that best describe Paige Johnson, an ambitious 25-year-old show jumper with a strong interest in fashion.

Johnson first took the reins at age 8, and now splits her time between The Plains, Virginia, and Wellington, competing year-round and practicing six days a week. The result is a string of awards. She took first place at Pennsylvania National Horse Show’s A/O Jumper Classic and at Washington International Horse Show’s A/O Jumper Classic both in 2008 and 2009, but was unable to compete in 2010 due to her injured horse. Johnson, the daughter of BET cofounder Sheila Johnson, is a beauty who has graced the pages of several national magazines. She’s also working toward a second career, with the possibilities of launching a fashion line and opening a boutique in Washington, D.C. or New York.

Marjorie Gubelmann may be known for setting fashion trends and hosting fabulous parties, but make no mistake: She is not simply a lady who lunches. Gubelmann, whose family has had a major presence in Palm Beach for decades, has built her company, Vie Luxe, from a small luxury candle purveyor to a formidable enterprise. Her latest offering is a “green” collection, Eco-Luxe, which combines luxury and eco-friendliness. Her long-term vision is to transcend into all sorts of lifestyle products for the home and expand Vie Luxe’s presence on the international stage (products are already available in London and Singapore). Gubelmann has combined her business sense with her lifestyle, basing her products on scent recollections from her travels to such destinations as the Maldives, Capri and Palm Beach, where she spent much of her childhood and still visits in the winter.

Raymond Floyd knows a thing or two about golf.

As a professional golfer, he has swept tournament after tournament on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. As a golf course architect, he has designed courses that draw upon the integrity of the land and are very playable, including Old Palm Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens. “The medal for me is to build a course that’s enjoyable,” he says. Though his accomplishments are many, the one he sites as a point of pride is his restoration and renovation of the Palm Beach Par 3. For the past three years, the Palm Beacher has focused on this course, making it playable not only for adults but also for underprivileged youngsters, who use the facility to learn the game. As a result of his efforts, the Par 3 was named “2010 New Golf Facility of the Year” by Hook A Kid On Golf.

Born and raised in Delray Beach, Tucker studied percussion at Florida Atlantic University and Berklee College of Music with a focus on vibraphones and marimba. He played throughout Europe and the United States, both on his own and accompanying other performers, including Ricky Martin and Dean Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Deana.

Tucker returned to Delray Beach and in 2007 founded The Tucker Academy for the Arts, a musical enrichment after-school facility in Parkland. While serving as managing partner for the academy, Tucker also is the artist in residence for percussion at the Plumosa School of the Arts, percussion director at Boca Raton High School and on the board of directors for Old School Square and Milagro Center.

BUTCH TRUCKS

Photographed by Gregory Ross at the Trucks residence, Palm Beach

As the original drummer of the Allman Brothers, Butch Trucks is no stranger to fame—and all that comes with it, good and bad. The good: going down in history as one of the founders of Southern Rock, being revered by millions of devoted fans, being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, performing with some of the best musicians on the planet. The bad: a nasty brush with addiction that, he says, “probably should have killed me.” He lived to tell about it, and now is evangelical about sobriety—as anyone who attended last month’s C.A.R.P. luncheon can attest to. Still performing with the band after 42 years, Trucks also has launched moogis.com, a Web-based “social network with content,” where subscribers can watch live music webcasts and network with each other.

The Ice Man Rob Van Winkle

Photo courtesy of DIY Network

Some people would be surprised that rock ’n’ roll rapper Rob Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) would make a success out of a television show about remodeling houses, but the Wellington resident takes it all in stride. “I just put a camera to what I’ve been doing for 15 years,” he says about The Vanilla Ice Project, which airs on the DIY Network. The reality show followed Van Winkle and his crew as they renovated a Palm Beach mansion that had been completely stripped by the previous owners. The second season will start filming when Van Winkle returns from England, where he is competing in Dancing on Ice. Far from a play on his stage name, the show is an ice dancing competition that takes him totally out of his element, but he’s loving it. He was encouraged to do it by his two daughters, Dusti, 13, and Keelee, 10, whom he calls “the greatest accomplishments of my life.”

Rena Rowan-Damone embodies the spirit of a strong, successful entrepreneur. The Palm Beacher survived World War II, life in Siberia and hard times as a divorced woman with four children in Philadelphia, all experiences that made her into the woman she is today. A fashion designer, she cofounded the Jones New York line in 1969. In 1995, Damone endowed the Rena Rowan Foundation for the Homeless, with several facilities in Philadelphia that care for homeless families and children. She is working to launch a local facility. As a breast cancer survivor, she established the Rena Rowan Breast Center at the University of Pennsylvania, which became accredited in 2010. Damone retired as head designer and executive vice president of Jones Apparel Group in 2000, two years after marrying singer Vic Damone.

Familiar man-about-town Piper Quinn has joined forces with long-time friend Chef Clay Conley to open up a new restaurant in Palm Beach. Buccan, according to Quinn, is the closest thing the island has to a New York or San Francisco restaurant experience.

He has invested in several other restaurants in the past, but this is the first one in his adopted hometown. The Washington, D.C. native jumped at the chance to work with Conley on this concept restaurant, which opened in January and has been enjoying a steady crowd of locals and visitors since. When he’s not watching over the business end of the restaurant, Quinn is working with his family’s Ohio-based manufacturing company, raising money for the Society of the Four Arts and the Flagler Museum, and planning his upcoming wedding with fiancée Sara Groff.

Annie and Michael Falk open their home for the Ultimate Dinner Party and discover that there are no strangers, only friends yet to be made.

On a clear fall evening, cocktail-attired guests begin to arrive for a festive dinner party. At the door, they are greeted by a member of staff offering Champagne on a silver tray. Then they proceed to the living room to greet the hosts and chat with the other guests over cocktails and hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres before sitting down to a fivecourse dinner paired with exquisite wines.

It sounds like a typical party in Palm Beach, but in this case not all the guests know each other, nor have they, in some cases, even met the hosts. Yet the evening unfolds perfectly, and by the end of the night, new connections are made and new friendships forged.

Welcome to the Ultimate Dinner Party.

More than a dinner party thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, well, ultimate, this intimate social event actually is a fundraiser benefiting the programs of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society of Florida, an organization that provides prevention and intervention services to at-risk children and families, including adoption. In a town where people often tire of yet another gala or luncheon, this is a refreshing change of pace, featuring a collection of dinner parties hosted by social luminaries in their private homes during the course of one evening in November. Supporters

are randomly assigned to each home, and they find out where they will be dining just before the event. The identity of their fellow guests is kept a surprise. That, of course, is part of the excitement.

Annie Falk, who is hosting one of the dinner parties with husband Michael, may be meeting many of her guests for the first time, but the scene she has set could be just as appropriate for a close

group of friends. The dining table is set with collected objects she loves and her favorite flowers arranged in a fun, organic way. Everything has a story to tell. Even tonight’s menu is a reflection of her personal passions.

“Hosts are encouraged to have fun with the party,” Falk says. “It’s an opportunity to show off your personal spirit and style.

You often don’t know your guests, so you

can connect with them based on the vision you put forward.”

In the planning stages, Falk’s vision for the table was to impart the patina of age and timeless glamour, with touches that are youthful and whimsical. “From a very young age, I have surrounded myself with antiques,” she says. “I love old objects, and feel more comfortable with older things around me.”

Her tablescape begins with a set of antique Limoges plates by Tressemanes & Vogt, circa late nineteenth century— “probably my favorites”—that are gilded and highly decorated. The ornate nature of the plates and their smaller size, typical of antique dinnerware, pose a challenge for the chef, who prefers white, undecorated surfaces for plating. To solve the dilemma, Falk has introduced a set of white palmbeachillustrated.com | march 2011 125

plates with a ruffled edge and gold trim, which complement the antique dishes and make the chef happy. On top of the white plates she has placed Portieux Champagne coupes with frosted crystal dolphin stems in green and amber.

The dinnerware is the basis for the rest of the design. The centerpiece is an amalgam of collected objects, such as mercury glass candlesticks cleverly used as vases for hanging amaranthus, green raku vessels that mimic the seeds found in nature, and old brass candlesticks hand-wrapped with fine silk flowers from Paris. The candlesticks were originally created for Hermès in Paris by Fabienne Marumo, who now has a shop in Palm Beach.

Set simply against the wood table are delicate pink peonies that impart an air of fragility and impermanence, an ethereal beauty that encapsulates all that is profound in nature.

As the guests enter the dining room, the table is luminous with candlelight and the soft glow from the crystal chandelier. The stage is set for a five-course feast prepared by volunteer Executive Chef Michael Kuckelman of Fiorentina in Lake Worth, with wines personally selected by Michael Falk.

“Michael and I took a wine course at Windows on the World when we were engaged,” says Falk. “Michael really took to it. It all clicked for him, and he wanted to master the

art of pairing wine [with food]. It has become a real passion. He has fun discovering new wines.”

The evening’s menu is unique in that every dish has been prepared with locally grown, organic and sustainable ingredients. Falk, who is passionate about the environment, insists on organic, healthful and mindful food for her family on an everyday basis, and for her guests. The guiding principle is supporting sustainable agricultural and fishing practices and responsible animal stewardship.

Chef Kuckelman has responded to the Falks’ challenge beautifully with such dishes as Herb-crusted New Zealand Rack of Lamb, featuring free-range lamb; Fennel and Mint Pan-seared Diver Scallops, featuring scallops harvested by hand from the waters of North Carolina; and the Applesmoked Breast of Duck, featuring Mennonite-raised duck. He also has added some fun, personal touches, such as a special chocolate and dried fruit brittle inspired by the Falks’ dolphin Champagne coupes.

With Michael and Annie Falk heading each end of the table, guests engage in conversation with newfound friends. Over a glorious dinner, some talk about their travels and adventures; others about education and their children; and others about their personal journeys, including one guest’s account of adopting three infants through the Children’s Home Society.

Reflecting on the evening a few weeks later, Falk says that one of the highlights was bringing the organization’s work to the forefront. “There were a few people at the dinner who were inspired to get involved

with CHS,” she says. “That’s the icing on the cake; it’s what you always hope for.”

On a personal level, she adds, “After all our years together, I still love seeing Michael having a good time. He’s very focused and devoted, so it’s nice to see him totally relax and enjoy himself.”

As a supporter of CHS and a believer in its programs, Falk also is excited that so much of the money raised at the Ultimate Dinner Party will go directly to the people who need it. The chefs, servers and hosts all donate their time and talent, and the food purveyors donate their goods, so practically all of the money raised can go to the charity.

Based on the concept of the Ultimate Dinner Party, Falk has been inspired to launch another project: a high-quality en-

tertaining book featuring the private parties of some of Palm Beach’s most wellknown individuals. She describes the tome, which will be nationally distributed, as an insightful and beautiful glimpse at a side of Palm Beach few people see, as well as a collection of recipes, tips and anecdotes by the area’s most stylish hosts. As with the Ultimate Dinner Party, everyone involved in producing the book is donating time, talent and resources, so that 100 percent of the royalties will be directed to the Children’s Home Society.

To be sure, a book like this is a massive undertaking, but it is Falk’s pleasure to do it. “CHS programs are run so well and they are so effective,” she says. “You can see they are making a difference.” u palmbeachillustrated.com | march 2011 129

TUSCAN POWERHOUSE

Big, bold Brunello di Montalcino delivers a perfect balance of depth and refinement.

BY MARK SPIVAK

138 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

In nineteenth-century Tuscany, the BiondiSanti family decided that a certain clone of Sangiovese could be used to produce glorious wines through the process of extended cask aging.

Though the rest of the world was slow to agree, the end result was Brunello di Montalcino, one of the iconic red wines of modern Italy, known for its captivating combination of power and finesse. At the end of World War II, the Biondi-Santi winery was still the only producer of Brunello, but the category grew exponentially over the next 50 years. Today there are nearly 250 estates in the region, making more than 500,000 cases of wine.

To the American public, the best-known producer is probably Castello Banfi, owned by the Mariani family. The massive property encompasses nearly 2,400 acres of vines, along with a castle and museum, a restaurant and a luxury hotel, and has become a favorite destination for U.S. visitors. Banfi Brunello also is relatively affordable, averaging $75 per bottle, compared to the $250-$300 typically charged

for a bottle of Biondi-Santi. In general, pricing is determined by many factorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total production, the location of the vineyards, the consumer demand for the wine, and whether the bottle is a regular Brunello (aged at least four years) or a riserva (a minimum of five years in cask and bottle prior to release).

As with other full-bodied Italian wines, such as Barolo, a sharp division exists between the traditional and modern styles of Brunello. Old-style Brunello is characterized by high acidity and formidable,

palate v pour sometimes astringent tannins that take many years of bottle aging to mellow. Producers working in the newer, more “international” style tend to make wines with higher alcohol levels, along with more forward fruit to make the wine appealing when young. Lisini, Salvioni and Il Poggione are examples of more traditional Brunello houses. Producers with one foot in each camp include Caparzo, Fattoria dei Barbi and Casanova di Neri. A good representation of the more modern style is Poggio Antico Altero, an estate established in 1983; this wine undergoes aging in small, new French oak barrels rather than the customary (and much larger) Slovenian oak casks, which results in a toastier and more dramatic texture.

The success of Brunello di Montalcino has attracted famous winemakers to the region from other parts of Italy. A case in point is Angelo Gaja of Piedmont, best known

A bottle of Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino and Castello Banfi

for his vineyard-designated Barbarescos.

“Montalcino was appealing to me because it was the cradle of Sangiovese,” Gaja says, “and they had the tradition of making wine from a single grape variety, like Barbaresco.”

He bought the estate of Pieve Santa Restituta in 1994, and today turns out two highly acclaimed Brunellos, Rennina and Sugarille.

Not all wine from the Montalcino area is Brunello, and not all of it is expensive. Many Brunello producers bottle a wine called Rosso di Montalcino, which is designed to be softer, fresher and best consumed when

young. A good Rosso will often contain some declassified Brunello, which lends structure and backbone to the wine; some will also contain small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah. Priced slightly higher than $20 per bottle, popular examples include Silvio Nardi and Sesta di Sopra; for wines closer to the $30 range, Valdicava and Altesino are good bets.

Whether Brunello or Rosso, the food matchups are similar: steak or lamb, game birds, and meat dishes in substantial or complex sauces. ◆

GREEK CHORUS The Palm Beach Steakhouse offers traditional steak house fare, with delightful Greek influences.

BY MARK SPIVAK

142 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The Palm Beach Steakhouse opened three years ago, on the site of the former Restaurant Janeiro. In many ways, the two establishments couldn’t be more different.

Janeiro’s decor was dimly lit, romantic and exotic, while the steak house is bright and open. The huge stuffed zebras are gone, but the roomy lounge still takes up nearly half of the floor space, welcoming guests with a long wooden bar and offering piano music to diners who linger. The dining area is a mix of banquettes and well-spaced tables, draped with white tablecloths and adorned with minimal place settings.

Andreas Kotsifos, the executive chef and owner, believes that “a steak house is more than just meat,” and his concept offers

something for everyone. In addition to the standard steaks and chops, the menu lists half a dozen seafood entrees, classics such as Steak Diane and Beef Wellington, and earthy dishes such as meat loaf, veal liver and baby back ribs. He has also seasoned the menu with items that reflect his Greek heritage.

Begin with unusual appetizers such as Gigantes ($8), giant lima beans simmered in a savory tomato sauce; the beans are tender and perfectly cooked, and the sauce is augmented with onions and fresh dill. The restaurant does a good version of Spinach Pie ($10), baby spinach baked with scallions, leeks, feta cheese, nutmeg and cumin, even if the pastry is tough on the night of our visit. The adventurous can try Saganaki ($10), sharp kefalograviera cheese imported from Greece and served flambé.

The beef at The Palm Beach Steakhouse is USDA Prime, grilled at 1,600 degrees to lock in the juices. Our New York Strip ($40) arrives charred on the outside and medium-rare within, accompanied by sautéed mushrooms and delightfully crisp potatoes. Wild Salmon ($35) is moist and flavorful, served on a bed of French green beans and garnished with a beurre blanc sauce. The Greek entrees include Mousaka and Pastichio (both $22).

Desserts are handmade by the chef; they rotate daily, and are well worth trying.

palate v taste We sample an extraordinary Bread Pudding with Jack Daniels Sauce ($7). Light and fluffy, topped with caramelized brown sugar and accented by the rich whiskey sauce, it is probably the best bread pudding this side of New Orleans.

The wine list is the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakest link. It contains around 75 selections, almost exclusively priced either under $50 or above $200. The more inexpensive bottles, along with the wines by the glass, are inconsistent in quality. Glasses of Maysara Pinot Gris from Oregon ($12) were slightly oxidized, while McManis Chardonnay from California ($8) was light and inoffensive.

The all-male service staff is friendly and accommodating, if not particularly polished.

Members of the management team are present and spend time surveying the room, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to interact with the guests. In the end, the genuine desire to please triumphs

over any minor lapses in service.

The Palm Beach Steakhouse offers an outstanding prix fixe menu every night of the week, featuring a choice of five appetizers, three soups or five salads, and 16 entrees. It includes a glass of wine, and at $35 is a bargain in Palm Beach. The bar is even more cost-effective, with $5 drinks and appetizers offered every night from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. It all adds up to a congenial, neighborhood restaurant rather than the formal steak houses weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown accustomed to. â&#x2014;&#x2020;

Atlantic Ocean Club, a farm-to-table seafood restaurant, is now open in Delray Beach, with a menu of dishes created using sustainably raised seafood. Highlights include Florida Black Grouper with potato gnocchi, braised escarole, field mushrooms and Spanish chorizo, and Loch Dart Salmon with shrimp, chanterelles, brussels sprouts and a red wine au jus. There also is a selection of wood-fired specialties, including Great Lakes Trout and Florida Yellowtail Snapper. Landlubbers, try the Creekstone Farm filet mignon or prime rib. We’re big fans of the shrimp ceviche on the Crudo Bar, but if you’re feeling adventurous, there is chilled octopus with watermelon, avocado, poppy seeds and Meyer lemon. The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, and transforms into an after-hours lounge Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, offering a special menu of treats.

THE RIGHT ANGLE The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach’s signature restaurant, Angle, had a good run for a while— outstanding food, creative decor, deep wine list—but the honeymoon was over far too soon. Now the restaurant has been reborn with an all-different food concept, hip music and a lively atmosphere. Though still very urban-cool, the new iteration is more, well, accessible. The menu features organic, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients, such as vegetables from Loxahatchee, New Smyrna Beach flounder, Fort Pierce golden tile and Key West pink shrimp. The beef is hormone- and antibiotic-free. Highly recommended: the Taylor Bay Scallops, served on the half shell with pomegranate and sweet corn puree, and, from the sides menu, the outrageously sinful blue cheese tater tots.

A major update and renovation on this Palm Beach County estate home began with the foyer. The original 8-foot entry doors were replaced with larger, custom milled, contemporary slab doors adorned with hand-forged nickel handles. The traditional iron railing of the grand staircase was replaced with a clean, open design, capped off with a chunky wenge wood slab and a tubular brushed nickel handrail. Stained wood treads and risers are highlighted with a neutral textured nubby runner, leading oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye to the second floor. A foyer chest displays the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture while providing storage. The nickel sconces highlight a mirror that reflects the staircase architecture, while the carpet mimics the tones of the living room beyond, and sits on the newly honed Saturnia stone floor.

Life Is More Beautiful without Bulges Dr. Supriya Tomar is pleased to introduce Coolsculpting, a cutting edge technology for fat removal. Coolsculpting is the first and only non-invasive technology that permanently removes fat.

How does Coolsculpting technology work?

Coolsculpting technology is based on the principle that fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than surrounding tissues. During the procedure an applicator is attached to the targeted area to extract energy and cool the underlying fat tissue. When fat cells are exposed to extreme cold, they undergo apoptosis (controlled cell death) and are gradually eliminated. This results in a visible, permanent reduction of fat bulges.

What can I expect?

During the procedure a specially designed vacuum applicator is applied to the treatment area and you will feel some cold and pressure. There is no need for anesthesia or pain medications. Most patients read a book, listen to music, watch television or sleep. Patients can resume daily activities immediately following the procedure.

What are the results?

Each Coolsculpting procedure results in a 20 percent reduction of fat in the treated area. Further fat reduction can be attained with additional procedures.

As long as you maintain your weight the results will be long term as this procedure eliminates fat permanently.

What areas can be treated?

3 procedure patient

Coolsculpting works best for pockets of fat that have not responded to a healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle. The most common areas being treated are love handles, upper and lower abdomen, mid back and bra line.

At SUPRIYA Dermatology and Laser Institute, Dr. Tomar offers her patients the perfect blend of science and aesthetics to improve the appearance and health of their skin. Using a combination of dermal fillers and Botox, Dr. Tomar is widely recognized for her unique and skillful approach to facial rejuvenation.

She is among Palm Beach’s busiest and most experienced injectors and is a recipient of the Platinum Award from both Allergan and Medicis.

OXBLOOD TEARDROP VASE #1, CLIFF LEE

In the early 1970s, Cliff Lee was a young, successful neurosurgeon. A few years into his career, he took a ceramics course to decompress and discovered a new talent. Today the doctor-turned-potter, who received his MFA in ceramics at James Madison University, practices the Chinese tradition of porcelain pottery. His surgeon hands allow him to create nature-inspired vessels that are beautifully symmetrical and embellished with meticulous carvings. To further enhance his work, Lee uses ancient formulas of Chinese monochromatic glazes. Lee’s pottery will be on display at the Palm Beach Fine Craft Show, March 4-6 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach. cliffleeporcelain.com —Lola Thélin

real estate spotlight MARCH 2011

As a new firm in town, what advantages do you bring

agenda v calendar

to potential buyers and sellers?

As in any business, but perhaps most so in real estate, relationships and contacts are paramount. All of our associates have a lifetime of experience of living in the Palm Beach market. Not only are they experts on the housing market, but there is a probably a good chance they know the owners personally. This is a great formula for getting listings and helping buyers with local knowledge.

How does today’s market on Palm Beach compare to what it was two years ago?

It’s night and day. First and foremost, there is substantial price stability in the market right now, which wasn’t the case in 2008 and 2009. In those two years, every property was constantly being re-priced. We have reached a price level where there is great velocity in the market, and buyers are taking advantage of the price changes.

Who should be buying now? And what should they be looking for in a broker and a brokerage firm?

Patience has been a virtue for buyers over the last two or three years, but I would caution buyers not to press their luck on prices much more. As I said, there is substantial velocity on the marketplace right now. Palm Beach has never been more affordable, and the last thing you want to do is waste all that patience by then missing an opportunity.

In terms of what to look for, one of the things we stress first and foremost at Barrett Welles is personal service.

I think some of that got lost in the bull market in Florida from 2000 to 2006 and never returned. As a new company, we don’t have that complacency and are able to make that commitment.

FINALE v PERSONAL STYLE Petra Levin began her days as a model in her native Germany, and while she is still known for her beauty, her philanthropic drive also has garnered attention. Petra has been involved with the Caron Renaissance gala for six consecutive years, as well as with the American Heart Association, American Folk Art Museum, 211 Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Children’s Home Society and the Simon Wiesenthal Center. While Petra does enjoy traveling the world, there is no better feeling than returning home to Palm Beach. “I have lived on the island for many years, and I really enjoy the intimate feeling the island has and, most importantly, the friendships I have developed throughout the years.” —Lola Thélin 1
