PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Dear Readers, While the month of June brings with it the beginning of summer, the season's warm entrance this year comes with a hope that we have not seen in a while. Not only is the summer season well on its way, it seems that we are nearing the light at the end of the tunnel with this pandemic. After over a year of social distancing, covering our smiles, and refraining from handshakes and hugs, we are now reaching a point where we are nearing normalcy once again. While it is always important to be conscientious and maintain proper safety measures, it is so fantastic to think that we are on our way to living life as it should be.

So, we hope that you get out and enjoy all that this summer has to offer, especially now that we can begin supporting our local shops, boutiques, and restaurants, as well as our worldclass theme parks. Whether you opt to spend a day in the sunshine hitting the parks with family or going out for a summer evening of dining and drinks, be sure to remember how fortunate we are to enjoy this season together.

This June issue of Orlando Style celebrates the joys of summer, along with ways you can get out and partake in the Central Florida summer—ways we were not able to in 2020. Take a look at our summer fashion articles to get ahead of the latest trends for the season of fun in the sun. Wherever the season takes you, you'll want to have a refreshing drink on hand, and as 2021 marks the 100-year anniversary of the Bloody Mary, this delicious, classic concoction is the perfect choice for your go-to summer beverage.

This season is also a great opportunity to invest in real estate or start looking for the perfect home for you and your family. You'll find the best realtors ® for your property needs in our 5-Star Realtors ® special feature. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, these realtors ® will help lead you in the right direction with their professional guidance, knowledge, and skill sets. In addition, our Portfolio Luxury Real Estate section will open your eyes to some of the best properties in the Orlando area. Perhaps your dream home awaits in the following pages!

You will also be enthralled with this month's travel article, featuring Kenshō Psarou, an invigorating resort nestled between the luscious blue waters and pristine beaches of Mykonos, Greece. This amazing beachfront vacation spot will transform your summer into a magical experience.

Wherever this summer takes you, make sure it is one to remember.

Sincerely,

Sven J. Bode Publisher

M Y KO N O S KENSHŌ PSAROU, THE ISLAND’S FINEST, WELCOMES BACK VISITORS

By Cathleen K. Bode

Southeast of Mykonos town, on the most iconic sandy beach, stands Kenshō Psarou, the ultraluxury retreat and the cosmopolitan heartbeat of the Greek island.

Kenshō Psarou attracts the rich and famous who come to ‘flock and dock’ their yachts and soak up the Grecian sunshine in style. Kenshō’s world-class restaurant and chic lounge bar provide the perfect setting for an afternoon of lite bites, chilled beats, sexy vibes, shisha, and relaxation.

The ‘Chic Comfort’ menu includes dishes of ‘King Crab Leg Alaska’, ‘Tagliata Japanese Wagyu’ and ‘Coconut Exotic’ whilst the ‘All Day Sushi Menu’ offers delicious plates such as ‘Spicy Sea Bass’, ‘Spider Maki’ and ‘Wagu Caviar’ – along with sumptuous cocktails and fine wines.

CELEBRITY SOUP

SURPRISING CELEBRITY BIRTHPLACES

Celebs who weren't born where you might think!

While the rich and famous are commonly associated with the cities they were raised in, quite a few were born in completely different countries that they may appear to have no connection to at first glance.

From celebrities born to military parents overseas, to the offspring of jetsetting parents who worked together—keep on reading to learn about the surprising birth places for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars!

KEANU REEVES - Beirut, Lebanon

Our first celebrity probably has one of the most diverse backgrounds on the entire list! Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon on September 2, 1964.

His mother, an English woman from Essex, was a costume designer and performer who was working in Lebanon when she met his father. Reeve’s father hails from Hawaii and is of Native Hawaiian, Chinese, English, Irish and Portuguese descent. In fact, Reeve’s home decor today remains heavily influenced by his Chinese-Hawaiian heritage. After his parents divorced in1966, Reeves' mother moved the family to Sydney, Australia and then to New York City before eventually settling down in Toronto which is where Reeves calls home.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX - Río Piedras, Puerto Rico

The third of five children—all of whom have pursued acting—Joaquin Phoenix was born Joaquin Bottom on October 28, 1974 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. His American parents met when his mother was hitchhiking in California so how did the family end up all the way in Puerto Rico?

After the birth of their second child, the Bottoms joined the religious cult Children of God and began traveling throughout South America and Puerto Rico as missionaries. When the family finally broke away from the group and settled down in Florida, they legally adopted the surname Phoenix to symbolize their new beginning.

BRUCE WILLIS - Idar-Oberstein, West Germany

Though he moved to the United States before he was three, American actor Bruce Willis was actually born on a US military base in the West German town of Idar-Oberstein on March 19, 1955. His father was a U.S. soldier and his German mother hailed from Kassel. After being discharged from the military in 1957, Willis’ father moved the family to his hometown of Carneys Point, New Jersey. Willis has spoken some German in various interviews, but he is not fluent and native listeners have described his language ability as being broken.

MARTIN LAWRENCE - Frankfurt, Germany

Much like Willis, renowned comedian Martin Lawrence’s father was also stationed in Germany at the time of his birth. The fourth of six children, Lawrence was born on April 16, 1965 in Frankfurt and he continued to live in Germany until he was seven. At that time Lawrence’s father left the military and the family moved back to the United States to settle down in the Washington, D.C. area.

EMMA WATSON - Paris, France

If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter film franchise—or simply someone who doesn’t live under a rock—you are most likely well aware of British actress Emma Watson, but did you know that she was actually born in France?

Emma lived with her English parents in Maisons-Laffitte near Paris until the age of five when her family returned to Britain and her parents divorced.

Though Watson claims to speak some French, she admits it is not as good as it used to be.

NICOLE KIDMAN - Honolulu, Hawaii

It may already be common knowledge that Nicole Kidman is Australian, but few may realize that she was actually born in America! Kidman made her grand entrance into this world in Honolulu, Hawaii on June 29, 1967. Both of her Australian parents were in the United States on student visas at the time with her father being a graduate student at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. Kidman was only four when the family moved back to Australia, but the Academy Award-winning actress retained her dual citizenship and eventually returned to America to further her acting career.

MILA KUNIS - Chernivtsi, Ukraine

Mila Kunis was born Milena Markovna Kunis on August 14, 1983 in Chernivtsi, Ukrainian SSR. The Black Swan actress’ first language is Russian and it was actually her only language when she moved with her family to America at just 7 years old. Kunis has spoken openly about that time of her life saying her family decided to leave the former Soviet Union because they saw no future there for Mila or her brother. In 1991, the family made the move to Los Angeles, California with just $250 to their name. "That was all we were allowed to take with us,” Kunis said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. “My parents had given up good jobs and degrees, which were not transferable." Well if Kunis’ wildly successful acting career is any indication, I think it’s safe to say that her parent’s gamble for a better life 30 years ago has paid off!

LUPITA NYONG'O - Mexico City, Mexico

Could you imagine two countries feuding over the right to “claim” your success and accomplishments under their respective nationalities? Well that’s exactly what Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong'o has struggled with ever since her career began to take off. Nyong’o was born in 1983 in Mexico City, but her parents are of Kenyan origin and she returned with her family to Kenya when she was less than one year old. However, at age 16 her parents sent her back to Mexico for 7 months to learn Spanish which she still speaks fluently today. Kenyan and Mexican tabloids are frequently in a tug-of-war for the prize of claiming the Academy Award-winning actress as their own, but Nyong’o has firmly put the debate to rest in an interview saying, "I've seen the quarrels over my nationality, but I'm Kenyan and Mexican at the same time. So again, I am Mexican-Kenyan and I am fascinated by carne asada tacos."

“In 2019, we sent out a key signal with the debut of our first all-electric sports car,” said Oliver Blume Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, at the world premiere of the new, even more versatile derivative. “We see ourselves as pioneers of sustainable mobility: by 2025, half of all the new vehicles we will deliver will have an electrified drive – either fully electric or plug-in hybrid. In 2020, one in three of all vehicles we delivered in Europe had an electric powertrain. The future belongs to electric mobility. With the Taycan Cross Turismo, we’re taking another major step in this direction.”

• The Taycan 4 Cross Turismo with 280 kW (380 PS; CO2 emissions combined 0 g/ km, Electricity consumption combined 28.1 kwh/100 km), overboost power for Launch Control 350 kW (476 PS), acceleration 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, top speed 220 km/h, range (WLTP) 389 – 456 km • The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo with 360 kW (490 PS; CO2 emissions combined 0 g/ km, Electricity consumption combined 28.1 kwh/100 km), overboost power with Launch Control 420 kW (571 PS), acceleration 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, top speed 240 km/h, range (WLTP) 388 – 452 km • The Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo with 460 kW (625 PS; CO2 emissions combined 0 g/ km, Electricity consumption combined 28.7 kwh/100 km), overboost power with Launch Control 500 kW (680 PS), acceleration 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, top speed 250 km/h, range (WLTP) 395 – 452 km • The Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo with 460 kW (625 PS; CO2 emissions combined 0 g/ km, Electricity consumption combined 29.4 kwh/100 km), overboost power with Launch Control 560 kW (761 PS), acceleration 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, top speed 250 km/h, range (WLTP) 388 – 419 km.

The high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension comes as standard on all four models. The optional Off-Road package increases ground clearance by up to 30 mm. This means that the Cross Turismo can also be driven on demanding off-road terrain.

The standard “Gravel Mode” improves the suitability of the new model for driving on rough roads.

In terms of its visual appearance, the Taycan Cross Turismo closely follows the Mission E

Cross Turismo concept study presented at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show: Its silhouette is defined by the sporty roofline sloping downward to the rear – called a “flyline” by the Porsche designers. Off-road design elements include wheel arch trims, unique front and rear lower aprons and side sills. As part of the Off-Road Design package, the Cross Turismo has special flaps at the corners of the front and rear bumpers and at the ends of the sills. These make for a striking exterior as well as providing protection from stone impacts.

Sporty accessories: new rear carrier and Porsche e-bikes Especially for the Taycan Cross Turismo, Porsche has developed a rear carrier for up to three bicycles that sets the benchmark in terms of package size and handling. It can be used universally for different types of bikes.

One of its innovative feature is that the tailgate can be opened even when the rear carrier is loaded.

Porsche is also presenting two high-quality e-bikes at the same time – the eBike Sport and the eBike Cross. With their timeless design as well as their powerful and sustainable drive technology, they are perfectly matched to the Taycan Cross Turismo.

High-tech appearance for a hightech vehicle The world premiere of the new Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo took place in the Hyperbowl Studio at the Munich Trade Fair Centre.

This spectacular new studio brings together the worlds of film and reality: a 270-degree curved LED wall, 40 metres long and 5.5 m tall, is combined with an LED ceiling to provide a 478 square-metre screen surface with 70 million pixels.

Passion & Honesty Jeff Husby

Jeff Husby has been passionate about boating since an early age. He aspired to be the best in his industry while climbing through the ranks and living the boating lifestyle. “Nothing better than a day on the water with Family and Friends,” says Husby.

His drive and passion began with Southeast Correct Craft in 1993. For 6 straight years he personally earned the #1 global award for top retail sales for Correct Craft. In 2008, he founded his own dealership—Regal & Nautique of Orlando—and has propelled it into a world class organization currently ranked in the #3 position of the Boating Industry Top 100 in North America.

Other major industry accolades under Husby’s leadership include 9x Top 100 Dealer ranking including designation in 2018 and 2020 as the Nation’s best in class service department; 2019 and 2020 MRAA Top 10 Best Dealerships to Work For; 10 consecutive years as a Top 10 Nautique Dealer and winner

of the 2019 Nautique President’s Award; Top 10 Regal Dealer with previous #1 ranking for single store sales; along with multiple Industry CSI award recognitions.

In August of 2020 Husby expanded his footprint and became partner, President and CEO of WaterSports Central LLC, a boat dealership with 6 retail locations across Georgia and South Carolina. Husby remains at the helm of Regal & Nautique of Orlando as owner and GM. This new dual role provides ample opportunity to maximize the strengths and shared resources between both companies in a continued and focused effort to elevate the customer experience.

Husby is excited for the future and always looking for future opportunities!

Jean DeVeney & Edson de Freitas New Age Real Estate Group | Kylin Realty Jean and Edson felt that "NEW AGE" was an appropriate name for their real estate vision for the future, now that the world is working toward a post pandemic world. This vision combines Jean's almost thirty years of local real estate experience with Edson's command of technology and marketing. In addition, two realtors are better able to focus on the Buyers/Sellers's needs and offer almost 24/7 accessibility. Edson and Jean's NEW AGE approach to the future of the real estate market is to offer full service, a true concierge approach for the client's needs. Both realtors have extensive networks in all related areas; including investments, financing, appraising, stagings, repairs and title/closing services. Edson has additional expertise in international immigration and relocations, rentals and property management.

professionalism, transparency and availability was a perfect match and the result was NEW AGE Real Estate Group.

They both believe in community involvement and service, and support several local and national charities with their time and donations.

NEW AGE offers several levels of Buyer/Seller rebates, as well as special rebates to those who serve, protect and defend; and all the occupations that are considered "front line" during this pandemic.

Jean and Edson abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics and pledge to protect and promote the interests of their clients.

Jean honed her skills as a General Manager of a residential and commercial builder/development firm in Houston, before coming to Orlando in 1985.

She worked as a Construction/Client Coordinator for Design Homes of Winter Park with multiple projects in Isleworth, Winter Park, Windermere and Dr. Phillips. After coming to Orlando, she earned her real estate license and jointed Re/Max SW concentrating on residential sales and investments.

Recently, they joined Kylin Realty, after being very impressed with the international clientele and dedication to service the brokerage offers. Kylin has recently expanded to a new branch office in the Dr. Phillips area and offers a variety of up to the minute marketing and technological tools for all Buyers, Sellers and Investors. Their innovation, commitment to excellence and exposure in the world market makes Kylin Realty stand out from other real estate companies.

Edson was born in Brazil and speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish. He attended law school before moving to Orlando. He was with WRA with an extensive international client base, when Jean brought an offer to one of his listings. They realized their real estate philosophy of the client first,

Jean and Edson thank you for letting them be a part of your life...it is not just about the sale, it is about becoming your Real Estate Consultant for Life.

Danny Hilwa, P.A. ALHS Millennium Homes Realty, LLC, Accredited Luxury Home Specialist Danny Hilwa has a unique passion for Orlando, having lived in the area for 43 years since he was 3 years old. Attending Park Maitland, Trinity Prep and Rollins College he has watched Central Florida develop from a small town into the magnificent city that it is today.

He has been licensed for 20 years specializing solely in high-end luxury properties, gaining intense experience with a proven track record of results with top sales and numerous awards throughout his career. He is an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) and is fluent in English, Spanish and Arabic.

Danny believes that the key to this industry is loyalty and taking the time to treat each client like family rather than as a transaction, many agents preach this but rarely follow through and try to juggle many clients at once. As a result he is proud and humbled to have an amazing reputation built by repeat clients and referrals using very little self-advertising. He is committed to his family and feels his upbringing is the cornerstone of his success. In fact he is fortunate to have both his parents and his brother as neighbors in his community, which he feels is his biggest blessing. Danny and His wife Diana love to travel experiencing cultures and learning traditions abroad.

Over the years he has developed amazing skills in the art of negotiation because all the postcards and ads mean nothing if your agent does not understand that the core of real estate is intense and calculated negotiation.

Danny is proud to have closed over $115 million in personal sales and these earned numbers are his own. The general public does not realize

that most agents often combine the sales figures of multiple agents in their office as a team and lump their sales figure in their advertisements to show a cumulative but misleading volume to lure your business. Many do the same when representing “combined years of experience.” Always remember that even the best surgeon can only do so many procedures without sacrificing the quality and attention to each patient. Please remember that you will truly only be hiring ONE agent to represent you, even in the largest office or the best team it will be one individual you will be calling consistently for help. If it seems that your agent is boasting sales that seem so high and unrealistic-that is exactly what they are doing.

Remember when you get a 'Just Sold' card in the mail most of the time the agent who mailed it to you DID NOT actually sell that home, they merely are letting you know it just sold with their photo nearby misleading you to believe they they were involved. There are many excellent agents in Orlando and Danny urges you to find the agent, not the office, who will give you the attention you need and deserve to make the process work in your best interest.

Find the agent that wants to represent you not sell you. As a resident of Vizcaya, Danny specializes solely in Dr. Phillips, Windermere and Lake Nona, with 100 percent of his sales in these areas that he knows and loves. He is truly honored to be able to be a part of Orlando's growth and would love the opportunity to represent you and your family. Considering his humility and dedication to the luxury market and Danny's love for Orlando, his motto remains the same from the day he started two decades ago: "The one thing money will never buy you is class!"

Edward Johnston 2020 – Year of Reflection and Reset Last year forced many of us to reflect on what is really important in life. It became an invaluable reset to the “rat race” in which we often find ourselves. We realized we’ve habitually taken family and friends for granted, especially during a time when we couldn’t be with the ones we love, just when we needed them most. The material things we once thought were so important, weren’t that important anymore. The security, safety, and comfort of our homes became paramount.

As a nation, we’ve spent more time at home and reset the value we place on it. Our homes are much more than a place to hang your hat and it’s definitely where the heart is. Our homes are now our foundation, where our families and extended families can come together and be safe.

This greater appreciation of homes is the driving force to the Great American House Rush of 2021. The Florida housing inventory is the lowest it’s been in decades, with more buyers than homes for sale.

Additionally, Florida has opened its doors to an influx of new telecommuters from other states, where they can sell their homes for values that are far superior to those in Florida. This gives our out-ofstate buyers the ability to make cash offers which is great for sellers while making it extremely difficult for local buyers to secure their dream homes.

Kyle Madorin Upwell Realty

Founder of Upwell Realty, Kyle Madorin gained wide recognition in Orlando and nationally for his exceptional concierge service in real estate.

Ranked as one of the Top 100 Agents in the United States by RateMyAgent in 2021, he offers his clients a rare level of personalized attention that diverse positions in customer relations have fine-tuned.

Like many Orlando residents, it was Walt Disney World that beckoned Kyle Madorin from his midwestern home when he first moved to the area in 1999.

After growing up in Chicago’s west suburbs, Kyle studied public relations at Bradley University, where he obtained an advanced internship in guest relations with Disney. Kyle quickly fell in love with Orlando while making his mark at Walt Disney World, earning positions as a Magic Kingdom tour guide and a VIP guide for celebrities and international dignitaries. Through Disney’s extensive training regimen and Kyle’s hands-on experiences in these unique roles, he developed the high standards of personalized service and attention to detail for which he is known. Recruited to be the executive administrator for the former CEO of Lord & Taylor and chairman of the board of Ann Taylor in Greenwich, Connecticut, he further engaged his talent for delivering singular client experiences.

After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Kyle and his wife, Shalea, relocated to Louisiana to help her parents rebuild their company. Shalea and Kyle used their acumen to assist with the expansion of her family’s wedding business, which became the No. 1 venue in New Orleans and a destination for weddings throughout the region. After seven successful years of growth, and spurred by his own experiences in the field, Kyle sought a new challenge with no ceiling: real estate.

Kyle has been an Orlando real estate agent since 2013. In addition to being Gold Key Certified for Excellence in Professionalism by the Orlando Regional Realtor® Association, he has consistently performed in the top 1% of real estate agents in the Orlando area and has been recognized as a Top 500 Agent by Orlando Real Producers magazine. Fortified by numerous agent of the year awards and a HomeLight top producer designation, Kyle is a former chairman of his previous brokerage’s Agent Leadership Council. A Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) and Million Dollar Guild appointee, Kyle has achieved top performance levels in the luxury sector. Still, he provides the same high-touch service to all clients, regardless of price point.

Real estate professionals, according to Kyle, are not salespeople but service providers. Motivated by a genuine commitment to his clients’ goals and happiness, he started Upwell Realty with the objective of exceeding expectations throughout every transaction. “As boutique brokerage,” Kyle said, “we ensure customer happiness is each agent’s guiding principle, and their dedication to their clients’ dreams is evident in everything they do.

While life moves forward, everything should be getting better, brighter, and progressing toward a more promising future. Moving up and living well.

Our name embodies that sentiment. Our hope is everyone from first-time homebuyers to luxury investors who partner with Upwell will never think about real estate in the same way again.”

BLOODY MARY TURNS Yes, you read that right! The famous Bloody Mary turns 100 this year. The Bloody Mary’s origins are cloudy, but if the story of Fernand Petiot, who’s said to have first made the drink at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris in 1921, is to be believed, this year marks the cocktail’s 100th birthday - and it will carry on for 100 more. His creation was popularized by the city’s cocktail crowd. Since then it has been a staple of hotels and upscale restaurants all over the world, also gaining the reputation of the “hangover cure”.

Classic Bloody Mary - 1 teaspoon sea salt - 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger vodka

Nowadays, the Bloody Mary is very versatile; no Bloody Mary is the same. Each bartender, each mixologist has their own twist and has experimented with the ingredients to find their favorite combination. Tomato juice is the only ingredient that will always remain the same, for it

is the base of the drink. After that, the creativity can get wild. Some add celery salt, some add the actual celery stick. Worcestershire sauce is another common ingredient, along with olives and garlic powder. There are those who like their Bloody Mary to be spicy and will have the cocktail with some Tabasco or a dash of cayenne pepper.

The Bloody Mary isn’t your ordinary cocktail, and it is definitely an acquired taste, not for everyone.

But we understand their appeal, for after all, they are the first properly savory cocktail. Simplicity is key to a great cocktail, but that doesn’t mean that there can't be room for invention and experimentation - that is how the Bloody Mary was born anyways.

- 3/4 cup spicy tomatovegetable juice cocktail - 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce - 1 dash hot pepper sauce - salt and pepper to taste - 1 stalk celery - 2 stuffed green olives Salt the rim of a tall glass.

To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rim of the glass on a damp towel and press into the salt.

Fill the glass with ice cubes.

In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine the vodka, vegetable juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass.

Garnish with a stalk of celery and olives stuck onto a toothpick.

- Enjoy!
