LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Scott Arthur, Director of Public Relations,| Star of Hope Mission, with Carla Valencia de Martinez
W
E ARE SO GLAD THAT OCTOBER’S COVER DARIO FRANCHITTI IS ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERING. Back in Indianapolis, Franchitti underwent successful surgery to repair the talus bone in his right ankle and is awaiting a second surgery to the right ankle. Franchitti shared, “I’m overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and I’m thankful to have such a great family and such wonderful friends and fans. Thanks to everyone at the hospital and the track who took such good care of me during my stay in Houston. I look forward to watching Scott, Alex and the Target team next weekend on television, and will be pulling for them as they go for another championship.” 002houston looks forward to seeing him back in action soon! By the time this issue drops we will be in the throes of the holiday season! I love this time of year!! Family, friends, food and fun! I am so blessed to live this life and November is a reminder to me to give thanks. HOUSTON HAS LONG BEEN ONE OF THE MOST GENEROUS CITIES TO ALL ITS LOCAL NONPROFITS, OF WHICH THERE ARE SO MANY THAT I COULDN’T EVEN FIND A FIRM NUMBER ON JUST HOW MANY THERE ARE! This is of course a great thing because it means the people who most need help are able to find it in some form. We feature a few local nonprofits close to my heart: Neighborhood Centers helped my family within the first few years we lived in Houston, Star of Hope, Casa de Esperanza and Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston’s Meals on Wheels were familiar to me from my younger days of community service instilled in us at Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart. Their stories are far too great to tell in their entirety on a mere four pages plus images, so hopefully the words I used combined with the captivating images taken by Gabriella Nissen will propel you to visit their website, deliver a meal to a senior, donate or simply give thanks for the life you lead.
Thank you for letting this be my job every day and your support of 002houston magazine. Happy Thanksgiving! Carla Valencia de Martinéz Editor-in-Chief | Creative Director

BUN
ON OUR
RADAR
THIS WILL BE A BUSY MONTH FOR RAPPER BUN B. IN ADDITION TO THE RELEASE OF HIS FOURTH SOLO ALBUM, THE EPILOGUE, HE WILL MAKE AN APPEARANCE ON NOVEMBER 14 WITH THE HOUSTON SYMPHONY. THE HOUSTON IN CONCERT AGAINST HATE WILL BE HELD AT JONES HALL IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE, AND WILL HONOR LOCAL EDUCATION AND CIVIL RIGHTS HEROES, ESTHER CAMPOS, MICHAEL FEINBERG, DR. THOMAS FREEMAN AND CAROL SHATTUCK. IT ALSO DOUBLES AS A CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION FOR BOTH ORGANIZATIONS. BUN HAS COMPOSED ORIGINAL LYRICS FOR A COMPOSITION TO BE PERFORMED WITH THE SYMPHONY AND CONDUCTED BY ROBERT FRANZ. ACTRESS ALFRE WOODARD WILL ALSO APPEAR AT THE EVENT.
SO THE HOUSTON SYMPHONY REACHED OUT TO YOU? Yeah. I think they were just trying to incorporate something from modern time into the program. The program that they’re doing is a pretty big cause — the ADL’s 100-year anniversary — so they’re just trying to put something together that’s really respective of Houston. DID YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS FIGURES BEING HONORED? Only the Byrd family. I met James Byrd’s son Ross before on a couple of occasions, but that’s one of the only people that I would know directly. BEING A CONCERT AGAINST HATE — THE WAY WE SEE HATE SORT OF EVOLVING IN THIS TIME OF ONLINE BULLYING, DO YOU FEEL LIKE THERE’S A SORT OF URGENCY TO THIS NOW THAT MAYBE DIDN’T EXIST A DECADE AGO? Oh yeah. I think it’s just every day that we wake up and we see hate in this world is a day to rise to action. 8. november 13 | www.002mag.com
AS FAR AS THE CREATIVE PART OF IT, ARE YOU FINDING YOURSELF APPROACHING IT ANY DIFFERENTLY? Nah, because it’s not like I’m doing a full concert. It’s not like I’m doing four or five different songs or whatever. I’m doing one song; it’s actually not a Bun B song. It’ll be some original lyrics to some other chosen music. But no, I’m not approaching it any different. Maybe just lyrically — lyrically it might be a little different, but I’m not fittin’ to square myself up or anything like that. The lyrics will be appropriate for the time and the place and the venue. ARE YOU REALLY GONNA WEAR A TUX? Why not? by Lance Scott Walker

REEN PLATE FOODS’ BAKED GOODS AND SWEET TREATS INCORPORATE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES INTO TRADITIONALLY UNHEALTHY SNACKS. “MY FAVORITE IS MY CHERRY CHOCOLATE NUBBLER,” REVEALS GREEN PLATE FOUNDER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER LISA POUND. They’re just sinfully delicious! My daughter LOVES them. I like them with a glass of wine and she likes them in her lunch box.” This local company recently inked a deal with Memorial Hermann–TMC to supply the hospital with baked goods and snacks. The company also supplies Texas Children’s Hospital and select Whole Foods, H•E•B, Fiesta Market Place, Freshii and My Fit Foods locations, in addition to providing retail and institutional catering services. “We can do whole vegan meals, whole gluten-free meals…we offer hormone-free meat, lots of fresh vegetables and platters of our amazing baked goods,” says Pound.

“After I had my daughter, I was very disappointed with the convenient food options for children. And I made a completely new connection between what you eat and your health. I haven’t seen companies using fruits and vegetables to replace oils and sugars, and making a product that tastes good and is reasonably priced.” (A six-pack of Green Plate Food’s cookies at H•E•B retails for $3.50.) www.greenplatekitchen.com.

CHEF’S SPECIAL
CHEF BUDDY CHARITY
FAVORITE LATE NIGHT SPOT FOR A BITE? Rapid Rays in Saco, Maine. Here in Houston I would have to say “at home” watching a DVR’d episode of “Restaurant Impossible.” Robert Irvine is amazing. BEST BREAKFAST? French Toast (my mom’s way – bread dipped in an egg and milk mixture – nothing fancy, browned in a buttered pan) with maple syrup and butter (lots of both), two link sausages and a slice of bacon, freshsqueezed OJ with a hot cup of coffee. BEST BRUNCH? Blueberry Bagel (butter toasted), American cheese, sautéed onions, thinly sliced steak, garlic powder and an egg over medium. WHAT INGREDIENT CAN YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT IN THE KITCHEN? 2 – salt and pepper (re: Robert Irvine) WHAT UTENSIL CAN YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT? A white-handled, (sharp) serrated paring multipurpose knife. WHAT’S YOUR PET PEEVE? I have so many! I like a clean kitchen, so clean up after yourself! Be organized! Have a plan! If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! Above all ... be ready and on time for the day, event, etc. I can’t stand not being READY. FAVORITE AFFORDABLE WINE? Anything that says MOSCATO! There are lots of cheap ones. I’ve found a few expensive ones also. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHEF? Rishi Singh of Boheme. He loves my food, so he’s my favorite chef. He’s the only chef I know personally. One day (soon) I’m going to go to his restaurant. WHAT’S YOUR WORST CLIENT EXPERIENCE? The customer that I never got to meet. They reviewed us on Yelp. They said, in short, we will have to take the cheesy decorations off of our front windows before they would even visit our restaurant. The decorations are awesome scenes of our food and Maine. We got a 1- or 2star review from someone who never even tried the food. WORST nonclient experience ever!
MAINE-LY SANDWICHES
IS THERE A FOOD YOU WON’T EAT? There is one I won’t eat again. My wife is from Louisiana. Talk about cuisine! I met my first jalapeño shortly after we were married. I’ve learned all about Hot and Spicy because of Louisiana. I was also introduced to some major comfort foods. SO, back to the food I will not eat again: BOILED OKRA! Just won’t do it! SLIMY and DISGUSTING! WHAT IS YOUR COMFORT FOOD? Potatoes! I find a good and simple Shepherd’s Pie to be most comforting. Browned hamburger, cream-style corn and whole kernel mixed, topped with fresh whipped/buttery mashed potatoes (lots of them), salt/pepper, baked for 15 min, at 400 degrees. Shepherd’s Pie brings me back to my childhood like ratatouille does for the food critic in the “Ratatouille” movie. DO YOU USE A RECIPE, OR DO WING IT? I use recipes without measuring. I have never had the patience for measuring spoons or cups. Shhhhh! Don’t tell my employees. AT HOME, WHAT DO YOU KEEP ON HAND TO SERVE DROP-IN GUESTS? I like to have a little of everything on hand at home for drop-in guests – they are usually my kids and grandkids. You have to have milk, everyone’s favorite cereal, eggs/bread (for a quick scrambled egg sandwich), lots of breakfast foods (breakfast is an anytime meal). I also like to have a large variety of beverages. Also, I like to have the ingredients for a quick crab cake and remoulade at all times. WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO FIND IN YOUR HOME REFRIGERATOR? Left-over boiled OKRA.

DINE WRITE
CARNIVORE HEAVEN TEXAS DE BRAZIL
By Jeff Lane
GRE RED
IF YOU HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED A CHURRASCARIA STYLE RESTAURANT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL AROUND TOWN, BUT LET ME SUGGEST ONE OF THE LATEST ADDITIONS. IT’S TEXAS DE BRAZIL ON TOWN & COUNTRY IN THE CITYCENTRE COMPLEX THERE JUST INSIDE BELTWAY 8 AT I-10.
IT’S MEAT-LOVING BLISS. I met an old friend of mine, a fellow carnivore, at the bar on a Tuesday. We sat and caught up. He opted for a martini; I went with the signature cocktail, the Caipirinha. They have many flavor options for that classic Brazilian standard, but I wanted the traditional version, with the distinct lime flavor. Quite refreshing. We took a table right in the middle of the main room. Unlike some other churrascarias I’ve frequented, which have brighter lighting, this room had softer, lower light. It felt more like dinner. The walls are a rich red and one long wall is a glass-encased wine cellar that stretched, it appeared, well above 12 feet. They’re stocked in vino. I splurged on some Jordan Cabernet, which is always a home run. This time was no exception. But they had a special on a unique wine from Chile: The Triple C. My buddy was familiar. Said it’s like dessert it’s so rich.

LAMB CHOPS
So we stuck with the Jordan. But my palate is insisting on a return visit for the other grapes. While beer and wine and spirits all have their own prices, the dining prices are pretty simple. There’s a full price, which includes meat, and a light price if you just want salad. Now, make no mistake, it’s quite a salad bar, an island of fresh vegetables and salads and cheese and cured salami and all sorts delectable items. Over 50, I believe. I sampled fresh artichoke hearts lightly coated with spices with a kick. And paper-thin slices of spiced pineapple. But careful that you save room for the star attraction. ALSO IMPORTANT: Maintain control over the very important piece of equipment at your table, a disc, about the size of a silver dollar. Green on one side, red on the other.

When green side up, prepare for servers to appear suddenly with skewers of grilled wonderfulness, seared perfectly on the outside and melt-in-yourmouth tender on the inside. We’re talking sirloin and sausages, beef wrapped in bacon, magnificent ribs, chicken coated in Parmesan, tender lamb and more. It’s right off the fire and it’s fantastic. As long as your disk is green side up, these highly trained, eager servers will make sure, as our server, Casey, put it, “you never see the bottom of your plate.” They carve slices off while the meat is still on the skewer. You’re equipped with some tongs to take the handoff. Very manly. The dessert tray was adorned in delightful decadence – Brazilian cheesecake, crème brûlée, Key Lime Pie, flan and the like. I committed to the Banana’s Foster Pie, and it delivered. I’m sated just thinking about.

OSTERIA MAZZANTINI | CHEF JOHN SHEELY
CUISINE Rustic Italian | www.osteriamazzantini.com | 2200 Post Oak | 713.993.9898
HOURS Mon - Thurs 11am – 3pm; 5 – 10pm | Fri/Sat 11am – 3pm; 5:30 – 11pm | Sunday Brunch: 10am – 3pm
John Sheely’s family hails from the Tuscan region of Italy, arriving in the U.S. in the late 1800s where they eventually became Funghi merchants in Galveston while the other side of the family became winemakers in Napa. The lineage serves Sheely well at his still-thriving Mockingbird Bistro and now at his rustic Italian spot, Mazzantini (in honor of his grandmother), honoring the heritage, traditions and values that the family brought with them from the old country. WITH EXECUTIVE CHEF PAUL LEWIS (FORMERLY OF CULLEN’S) AT THE HELM, THE EMPHASIS IS ON QUALITY INGREDIENTS TREATED WITH RESPECT AND LOVE. The chefs had known and admired each other’s work for more than a decade and both are ardent supporters of locally sourced seasonal ingredients. The resulting rustic Italian fare
new discovery
The “funghi” appetizer of wild mushrooms, goat cheese polenta, asiago fonduta and balsamic jus was ultra-creamy and earthy – perfect for fall. Pastas are made in-house, served in unexpected combinations like the cappelletti filled with veal, pork, spinach, golden raisins, crispy sage, tomato “brodo” and basil oil. The swordfish with a fennel and citrus salad served atop rapini and a warm agradolce sauce was exquisitely fresh and balanced, and the beet salad featuring roasted red and golden beets along with thin slices of raw candy stripe beets on an herbed ricotta, bitter mizuna leaves and a pine nut vinaigrette instantly became our favorite beet salad ever. Like Mockingbird, there’s a great happy hour menu from 5 until 7 daily, a clever cocktail list featuring fresh takes on vintage libations and a beautiful wine list.
COSTA BRAVA BISTRO | CHEF KITTY BAILEY
CUISINE Spanish with French Influence | www.costabravabistro.com 5115 Bellaire Blvd. | 713.839.1005
HOURS Mon - Fri 11am – 2:30pm; 5 – 10pm; Sat 5 – 10pm; Closed Sun
Regulars from the neighborhood and folks in the know have been buzzing about Costa Brava Bistro for months while the rest of us have been losing out. I had no idea the cozy spot tucked away in a small strip center on Bellaire Boulevard at S. Rice was dishing out some of the most interesting and delicious cuisine in the city along with a full bar, nice wine list and art by famed painter Manuel Chacon. CO-OWNERS AND BEST FRIENDS ANGELES DUENES AND CATHERINE “KITTY” BAILEY MET WHEN BOTH WORKED AT THE LATE CEN’TANNI RESTAURANT in Shepherd Square. Duenes, a native of Madrid, and Bailey, a native of Houston, dreamed of opening a Spanish restaurant. Over the years, they each worked to learn the business inside and out via myriad roles in the industry, including working alongside some big name chefs. THE RESULT IS SUBLIME SPANISH CUISINE WITH A LITTLE FRENCH THROWN IN FOR TECHNIQUE AND FLAVOR.

feels unique and fresh, especially when served on the grapevine and lemon treelined patio facing the open green space of the office park at 2200 Post Oak.
While many of the recipes, such as the scrumptious Paella are handed down from Angeles’ family in Spain, others originated with Catherine. Soups are standouts. The Garlic shrimp velvety chilled potato leek is somehow rich while not heavy. The smooth, vivid gazpacho rocks, as does the hearty white bean with chorizo. Salad lovers rejoice with numerous options like a baby arugula and Belgian endive salad served with goat cheese and piquillo peppers tossed in an out-of-the-ordinary almond-garlic vinaigrette. We were also crazy about the romaine salad with shaved Manchego and marinated boquerones. A fish Potato leek more similar to smelt than anchovy, the hand-butchered filet is marinated in vinegar and olive oil and placed atop the lightly dressed lettuce for a fantastic result. Don’t miss the garlicky/olive oil jumbo shrimp either – and use the delicious bread to soak up every drop.

OSTERIA COPPA | CHEF BRANDI KEY
CUISINE Italian/Pizza | www.coppaosteriahouston.com 5210 Morningside | 713.522.3535 HOURS: Mon - Thu 11am – 10pm; | Friday - Sat 11am – 11pm; Sun 11am – 9pm
CHEF BRANDI KEY JUST OPENED THIS RESTAURANT IN WEST UNIVERSITY, SISTER OF HER ORIGINAL COPPA ON WASHINGTON AVENUE. While they have part of their name in common, the new space has a different feel – light, bright and very open in terms of kitchen view, all very much on purpose and all the more fun for guests. Key expresses her cuisine with ingredients she is inspired by – what she likes to eat the most and what makes her passionate about cooking, which typically stems from the Mediterranean. Being able to find all of those inspirations from Italy built the menus for both restaurants, though Key is quick to point out that she didn’t want to be limited to any one region, preferring to cook from all of them, including Sardinia and Sicily to encompass her “whole idea” of what Italian cuisine could be.
Spaghetti carbonara
An example of her beyond-typical take would be the lamb sausage burger, featuring a juicy lamb sausage patty served on Texas toast with a dressing of yogurt, sliced cucumber, mint, arugula and feta. Closer to what you might expect is the stellar version of spaghetti carbonara with housemade pasta, plenty of black pepper, parsley, salumi toscano, egg yolk and parmesan cream. (Gluten-free pastas are also available.)
The “dough room” sits in the middle of the restaurant, where guests can see the magic of pasta and dough being created. Fabulous pizza is a big focus here, with some options exclusive to the West U location. A real bonus is the walkup window, where slices of the daily selection are served to the area, which has a lot of foot and bike traffic. It’s a real complement to the neighborhood.

GORO & GUN
306 Main St.| Houston, TX 77002 832.708.6195 | twitter.com/GoroNGun I frequent Goro & Gun for lunch because they have gotten great with practice. I loved the tempura short rib when they opened but the menu has blossomed with time. Today I had the Karaage – a Japanese fried chicken – on a bed of rice which had a rich miso butter. One of my favorite people joined me for a bite: Bun B loves G&G too. He’s such a hard worker and I’m inspired every time I get to spend a minute with him.
BAR BOHEME 307 Fairview | Houston, TX 77006 713.529.1099 | www.barboheme.com I do PR for Bar Boheme so I find myself there just about every day also. Whether I’m hosting media or working with the chef on a new promotion, somehow I end up on my favorite patio. Today, we were working on a new promotion which has become a big hit: Test Kitchen Tuesday. Every Tuesday, Chef Rishi tries out a new menu item and it has been a great success. I really love my jobs!

CLUB/LOUNGE REVIEW
Photography by Daniel Ortiz
BARBARELLA
DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION
I
T’S PRETTY RARE FOR US TO LOOK AROUND A BAR AND SEE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING PURE BOUNDLESS ENJOYMENT. LIVING IN THE MOMENT, DANCING LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING, WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. AT 12:45 ON A RECENT FRIDAY NIGHT, THIS WE SAW, AND THIS, MY FRIENDS, IS WHAT OUR CITY IS ALL ABOUT. THIS IS NOT
TO SAY THIS EXPERIENCE DOES NOT ALREADY EXIST IN HOUSTON, BUT IF YOUR LOINS BURN FOR DANCING HOW YOU WOULD WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING BUT INSTEAD ARE SURROUNDED BY ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE (AND WE STRESS ALL) YOU COULD POSSIBLY EVER WANT TO BE SURROUNDED BY DOING THE EXACT SAME THING – IT’S TIME TO HEAD DOWN TO MIDTOWN.
Dance clubs with video displays and theme nights are not exactly new to Houston…but Barbarella is no normal dance club. On our Friday visit, aka New Noise Fridays, the music (and the dancing) was spot on! The sequence of Chvrches -> Phoenix -> Santigold ->Twin Shadow - > M83 (M83 really had everyone going) was so new and so noise! Check out the website for details like set lists, DJs, etc., and the Thursday through Sunday theme schedule - we are sure one of these nights will fit any agenda. Jacinto Street
Barbarella is here. Thank you for hopping in your spaceship and landing here in Space City. When you recently moved into the old Status Lounge you picked well because you likely didn’t have to do much to make it the video dance dive bar you are known for. Prime example, that part of your balcony area that looks like someone dropped a small bomb on it. 2404 San We admit the balcony does have great views of downtown Houston, TX 77002 Houston. But this, the bean bag room, the orange water www.barbarellatx.com jugs (think sports team days!), the random photobooth, we know these are all part of your divey charm, and we like HOURS: Thursday – Saturday: 9:30pm to 2am your charm. Sunday: 10pm to 2am
Barbarella Austin has been awarded the best theme night 3 years running… will she win over Houston as well? Sure looked like she had that Friday night.

ocal artist HANA HILLEROVA’S Houston, Can You Hear Me? is one of the many represented works at Houston’s IAH airport. Part of the permanent collection located in Terminal A, the powder-coated aluminum stars hover over travelers as they move on the escalators. Pamela Ingersoll, Director of the Airports’ Public Art Program, walked me through a tour of the new Portable Works Collection in Terminals A + D including cases built specifically for the sculpturebased works. “I love to people watch, and it’s especially fun to watch people’s reactions to the art,” shared Ingersoll. Mostly craft artists, the pieces include jewelry and Flowers by JIM LOVE, ELIZABETH DELYRIA’S lifelike trees which upon closer examination reveal they are expertly crafted ceramics and OMAR ANGEL PEREZ’S wood-carved stilett”O”s. The “gallery” of paintings is something Ingersoll hopes to grow, but is already impressive including works by AARON PARAZETTE and Houston Fine Art Fair’s Artist of the Year ROBERT PRUITT’S Oba.

GISH at the MOVIES ART FILMS ARE GOOD FOR THE SOUL… TAKE A FRIEND TO ONE.
It’s time for the Houston Cinema Arts Festival hosted by the Houston Cinema Art Society (www.cinemartsociety.org), which will take place 11/6 – 10. Artistic Director Richard Herskowitz and Executive Director Trish Rigdon have smartly centered the Festival on venues in downtown Houston and the Museum District: Sundance Cinemas Houston (www.sundancecinemas.net); The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (www.mfah.org); Asia Society Texas Center (www.asiasociety.org/texas); the Aurora Picture Show (www.auroropictureshow.org); and the Sam Houston Hotel (www.samhoustonhotel.com). • The MFAH (www.mfah.org) is busy this month, starting with “The Out List” documentary on 11/4 by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders which focuses on high-profile members of the LGBTQ community, including stars such as Ellen DeGeneres and Lady Bunny (pictured in a photograph by Greenfield-Sanders). 1975 wasn’t a good time to be a woman in Mozambique, especially for the title character in “Virgin Margarida” (pictured) [onscreen 11/21 at the Houston Museum of African American Culture (www.hmaac.org)], who is mistakenly taken to a re-education camp. • The Aurora Picture Show (www.aurorapictureshow.org) is having fun with Whole Foods Market at their “Bike-In” (11/2) outdoors at Sesquicentennial Park; and the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center (www.erjcc.org) hosts their annual Jewish Book and Arts Fair (11/2 – 11/18), which includes “The Gatekeepers” (11/17), a film about Israel’s secretive internal security service. The Orange Show (www.orangeshow.org) is screening one of my favorite Houston-based films “Reality Bites (pictured) on 11/23. • “La Triste Historia - Animated Film + Music” (11/1 – 11/3) is a special, one-time-only event featuring the world premiere of a film and symphony commissioned by the Houston Symphony (www.houstonsymphony.org). • And just in time for the holidays, November also ushers in the latest Hunger Games installment, “Catching Fire” (11/22); and the Studio Movie Grill (www.studiomoviegrill.com) is hosting a fun Brews ‘n Views screening of “The Hangover” on 11/7. • Here’s some good film news: Since only 30% of characters in films are women, a group of dedicated Houston women decided to change those dreary stats by forming POW Producers (www.powproducers.com), an innovative production company whose bold mission is to tell the stories of women with movies, television and musicals. Stay tuned for news of their films!

AUL SWEN LOVES AFRICA. HE FIRST VISITED IN 1998, INTRODUCED TO THE DARK CONTINENT BY THE LATE CORBET BISHOP, A NATIVE HOUSTONIAN WHO HAD A SAFARI COMPANY IN TANZANIA. ON THAT FIRST TRIP, SWEN, A PHOTOGRAPHER, CAPTURED ON FILM MASAI WARRIORS, BREATH-TAKING PURPLE VISTAS AND, OF COURSE, COUNTLESS SPECIES OF ANIMALS RUNNING FREE IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. by Jeff Lane Photography by Paul Swen
November 13 Issue_002houston 10/22/13 5:50 PM Page 37
Africa, in turn, captured a part of Swen’s soul. Holding his hands up, about two to three feet apart, he said, “When I first saw the little beat-up tin sign that read ‘Serengeti National Park’ I cried. I couldn’t believe I was actually there. It was a life dream and now it’s part of my work. There are places in Africa where you can still see nature play out the way it has for, well, almost as long as there have been mammals,” said Swen. “We should be very grateful for that and do what we can to preserve it.” Since ’98, Swen has been on expeditions to remote areas around the globe – East Africa, West Africa, Malaysia, Borneo. In addition to the Houston Zoo, other zoos and organizations have been granted the use of his work in their own conservation efforts. On November 14, Gremillion & Co. Fine Art, Inc., will host an opening event cosponsored by the Houston Zoo, featuring Swen’s wildlife photography. Included will be stunning shots of cats and cape buffalo, elephants and gorillas, hippos and rhinos and some rare species seldom caught on camera. The work will remain up through Thanksgiving. Proceeds will go to elephant conservation, an issue very important to the artist. “We have a huge need for elephant conservation,” he said. “There was a worldwide ban on ivory, but some countries have relaxed controls. Meaning, they have allowed the sale of ivory that they say is left over from the old days or was retrieved from ‘legal hunting.’ “In reality, there is no way to effectively trace where any ivory comes from. Since ivory cannot be bought in most places legally, elephant poaching has skyrocketed. Massive numbers of elephants are being slaughtered, especially in Africa. So, elephant numbers that had rebounded from heavy poaching from the 1970s and before, are now dwindling.” Swen went on to say that poaching is not just harmful (read deadly) to individual animals with large tusks. “Killing the elders essentially erases the memories and direction of the entire herd. Babies are left motherless and die. Herds no longer know the way to specific watering holes and die of dehydration. When populations get too low, they can no longer reproduce effectively and the whole herd is wiped out.” “The Houston Zoo is one of the most prolific fundraisers and donors to conservation work,” Swen said. “They are one of the few zoos with a portion of every year’s budget and proceeds going to conservation. A couple years ago, I hosted a showing of some of my work in Africa at the Zoo’s main hall,” he said. “All the profits went to conservation efforts that the Zoo supports after doing diligent research. That show was a big hit. So, we want to do it again.” The money goes toward protecting wilderness areas, educating the people in endangered regions about the harm being done, as well as to research groups who are on the ground and who have first-hand knowledge of the problems. The work is beautiful. So come check it out. Score some high value art and help an extremely important cause. ART FOR ANIMAL CONSERVATION: Featuring Photography by Paul Swen Gremillion & Co.

RECORDING
LOWER LIFE FORM Interview by Lance Scott Walker
R
Photography by Anthony Rathbun
Ryan “Eggy” Egbert, Ryan Butcher, Jon Durbin, Phillip Vaughn goes by PhD, Broui Forward goes by Brew
APPERS PHD AND BREW ARE THE MOUTHPIECES FOR LOWER LIFE FORM, A GROUP STARTED BY PHD AND DJ ISH BACK IN 2003 THAT HAS SINCE MORPHED INTO A FULL, LIVE BAND INCLUDING BREW’S BROTHER C.O.S. (PRODUCTION, MULTIMEDIA), RYAN “EGGY” EGBERT (DRUMS), RYAN BUTHER (BASS/SYNTH/GUITAR/PERCUSSION), ANDREW STRANE (KEYS/SYNTH), JON DURBIN (TRUMPET/SYNTH/PERCUSSION) AND CORY WILSON (SAX/BARITONE/FLUTE). THEIR NEWEST RELEASE AS A BAND IS CALLED 21 HUMP STREET, AND THE TWO MCS PLAN TO RELEASE AN ALBUM WITH LOCAL PRODUCER ECLASS IN THE NEW YEAR.
So when did you actually start making music? Writing your own raps and kind of the idea that you were gonna maybe do something with it, be an MC someday? PhD: I started recording at 21, just with different people like… I would go into the studio. But at that time, I used to skate for Zoo York, so I was living in New Jersey and I would go to New York, and like DJ Ani and this guy Eli, they had like a little makeshift studio at the Zoo office, so I would go there sometimes and just spit a couple verses here and there on stuff that they had for me. Nothing really happened with that stuff. And then, after that, I got back home and just really started hittin’ it. I got home, met up with Ish at the Wax [Museum] through a mutual friend. He had beats and I had rhymes and that was it and we got together and then the next thing you know, Lower Life Form was formed. So that’s basically my background and how the group initially got started, with just Ish and I. Brew, were you already rapping, too? Did you do any recordings before Lower Life Form? Brew: Oh yeah, man. Man, I started rappin’ after high school. I was like in about the eighth grade, man — I was rappin’ and just doin’ little ciphers and freestyle stuff. You know, around the city they had like these little clubs that my older brother, you know, sneak in, man. And they would be doin’… y’all remember this club back in the gap, man, called Magic Bus?
38. november 13 | www.002mag.com
PhD: Yeah, yeah. Off of Richmond, right? Brew: Yeah, yeah. A little hole in the wall joint, man. That cats used to hit up, man. And I used to just go in there and freestyle. And like after high school, I hooked up with these guys that I knew from my neighborhood, and we formed a group. There was like 13 of us, and it was called Master Cipher. My buddy Rob P, he had a little setup in his garage his mom let him have. Had a mic and everything. We had the turntables, and when we put on the vinyl — it was like some old Souls of Mischief or some… you know, we was heavy into the Wu-Tang and everything — so we’d just take the instrumentals, man, and record some freestyle tapes and whatnot, and so that’s where the whole hunger, and then the whole… the whole rap thing started. What neighborhood are you from? Brew: Missouri City. We stayed in a subdivision called Hunters Glen 3. So that’s where everything kinda started, and the spot where we used to kinda… kinda the birthplace of everything was called The Red Room. We just homed at The Red Room. That’s where we were. And at that time you guys are doing something different — you’re talking about mid-’90s? Yeah, like, you know, ’93, ’94.
Okay, mid-’90s, but not before there were rappers coming out of Missouri City. Brew: There was a couple of other guys that rapped, you know, throughout Missouri City. We had, you know, we had some influences, man, we had Street Military back then, Killa Klan… so we had some guys out of Missouri City that already had a name for theyself, you know what I mean? And we knew ’em all, man, we just… we had our own little crew. We kinda rubbed shoulders with them a little bit here and there because we all was from the same little area. But Street Military, really, they made it big, because they had a couple of guys from Missouri City and a couple of guys from South Park. And so you guys first connected in 2003, 2004, somewhere in there? PhD: Yeah, somewhere in there. Somewhere in that range I guess. What was that — The Industry Café, is that what it was called at that time, Brew? You talking about the place in Chinatown? PhD: I think that’s where we actually first met, I think at the Industry Café. It was whenever they had a hip-hop showcase kind of thing. I think I did a set as Lower Life Form and Brew did a set as Dark Suns I believe.

CASA DE ESPERANZA
CHILDREN OF NEGLECT AND ABUSE
ARE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE AND FAMILIES ARE GIVEN HOPE. THEIR HEARTS ARE OPENED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A FULL, SUCCESSFUL LIFE. Casa de Esperanza’s first priority is always to reunite the family. Sadly, in some cases it becomes quickly apparent that foster care or adoption are the only route. I sat down for an impromptu chat with founders Kathy Foster and Bill Jones who shared their amazing story, one that could not possibly fit here. Kathy was working at a local social service agency in a program for mothers with children. For about a year she had been working with a young mother of four who met a man and decided to move her family in with him. Foster tried to talk her out of it. “There was just no talking her out of moving out. She called me about two months after, and he had beaten her 17-month-old to death over potty training. And it was because she had no one to watch her children. It was at that point that we started thinking, if she had had someone to take care of her children, she could have moved out, figured out what he was like and then could have moved her children, but there was nobody to take care of her children. If there were a place where people could bring their children where they could live safely and the parents could sort out their lives.” Jones never imagined Casa would grow to what it is today. “I think we had it clearly in our minds
what we wanted to do: We felt like it would be great to be able to take care of kids that were in crisis, to work with their families to help them through that crisis and then return the children to their family. We only thought it would be one house and we could have been happy working in one house forever. I don’t think we ever thought it was short-term, but we had no idea it would grow,” he shared. Hands of Hope is Casa de Esperanza’s internship program recruiting recent college graduates to live and
work in the Residential Program, the agency’s foster homes, parenting the children. The program has grown to a neighborhood with ten homes near the Texas Medical Center. “People are always saying, ‘you need to change the systems,’ but you have to take care of the kids and in the meantime what you hope is that these young people in the Hands of Hope program, who are the brightest and come from the best colleges to spend a year here, will go back to their community and they will change the world.” Casa has had college grads in the Hands of Hope program since 1983. “One of those interns came for a summer project, went back, got married, had a child and then called and said she was ready to adopt from Casa and adopted two little boys. Today she’s a doctor and works in a poverty sector practice,” shares Foster. This is a prime example of young people changing the system and one of similar stories Foster shared with me about past interns.
Casa de Esperanza is a safe place for children in crisis due to abuse, neglect or the effects of HIV, providing residential care and coordinating medical and psychological services according to the needs of each child.

NONPROFIT
INTERFAITH MINISTRIES FOR GREATER HOUSTON’S
MEALS ON WHEELS TAKES CARE OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS WHO HAVE ALREADY DONE THEIR GREATER GOOD FOR THE CITY AND NOW NEED A HELPING HAND. I met Ms. Johnnie Walker (on page 40) on our delivery route with driver Eunice McDonald. The retired 85-year-old was a Nurse’s Assistant for 37 years at the Methodist Hospital. She shares, “I spent my life serving others, and now God has provided those to help serve me.” About 4,000 meals are delivered daily during a regular weekday. Andrea Fineman, Communications Manager at Interfaith Ministries, tells us that many of these seniors don’t have family nearby and can’t get around a kitchen. “It’s really important that we come and see them,” some developing relationships with their drivers as we saw with Ms. Walker and Eunice. Thanksgiving is an opportunity for community support. Last year over 3,000 seniors were fed and this year they need volunteer drivers to help deliver 3–5 drops.
For more information on Thanksgiving deliveries and even more volunteer opportunities, please visit www.imgh.org or call 713.533.4900.
NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS “EXISTS TO KEEP THE REGION A PLACE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL THOSE WILLING TO WORK FOR A BETTER LIFE.” Founded in 1907 by Alice Graham Baker (Secretary of State James Baker’s grandmother) with one belief, that no matter what status or race, that anyone has, as a resident of Houston, the right to decent living. Director of Marketing and Communications Stephenie Olguin sums it up best, saying, “We bring education, connection and resources to build neighborhoods that work. We are able to transform communities based on ‘Appreciative Inquiry’ – our asset-based approach. We don’t go into a neighborhood and tell them they are broken and try to fix them. We go where we are invited and say ‘Wow, these are your strengths, you can bring so much to the table.’ We want to build on their dreams and aspirations. We want people to be self-sufficient and become leaders and drive the economy to make Houston a better place for everyone. We are transforming communities in a bigger way.” It seems pretty simple to me: It’s community helping community to create community. But every community is different and Neighborhood Centers tailors their programs based on what the area needs. “We offer residents the support they need to get an education, achieve financial stability and become actively involved in their community for good.”

It’s soon to be the 2nd largest foot race in the city. 15,000 participants come. We invite everyone to make this their new Thanksgiving family tradition,” shares Olguin.
Act. Share. Get Involved! Volunteers are the foundation for continued success. Visit www.neighborhood-centers.org/ for more information on how to get involved.

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS SCOTT ARTHUR SHARES, “AT
STAR OF HOPE
WE TAKE CARE OF 1,200 HOMELESS MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN EVERY DAY.” Started in 1907 (that’s 106 years ago!), the Mission has three facilities in and around the downtown area: The Men’s Center, Women and Family Emergency Center and The Transitional Living Center, which is where we toured, with room for 63 families and 44 single women. “For the last five years, the Emergency Center has been over capacity. Last night 123 women and children slept on the floor because we did not have room for them, all 296 beds were already full,” shares Arthur. “There are two types of homelessness – generational and situational. In the generational category families and single women make the rounds from shelter to shelter, to hotels and abandoned buildings and to the homes of family and friends. That’s how they were raised. We try and break that cycle. Then there’s the situational category where a catastrophic life-changing event like cancer, a car accident, a huge fire – after a while the dominoes fall and the family support system fails. In addition, many of the women we serve are victims of domestic violence or human trafficking (Houston is in the top 5 in the nation for human trafficking, a horrifying number) and are hiding.”
Star of Hope does so much more than I can sum up in this little box, please visit www.sohmission.org to learn more about their mission. 8,000 –10,000 homeless on the streets in Houston. | 7,000 volunteers give their time to Star of Hope. 5,000 meals are served weekly at the Transitional Center. | Over 60,000 diapers were given to babies in a year. 211 employees keep Star of Hope running. | 95% of the $23 million budget comes from the community.

AN OPEN EXCHANGE WITH
MARTHA TURNER
MARTHA! MARTHA! MARTHA!
by Tricia Harrison
Photography by Kennon Evett
H
OUSTON REAL ESTATE ICON MARTHA TURNER KNEW AS A LITTLE GIRL THAT SHE WOULD ONE DAY BECOME A SUCCESS BECAUSE SHE KNEW SHE WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN. AFTER A 15-YEAR PERIOD AS A DEVOTED SCHOOLTEACHER, TURNER LAUNCHED HER REAL ESTATE BUSINESS WHEN INTEREST RATES WERE SOARING AND AGENTS WERE BAILING ON THE MARKET. WHEN QUESTIONED WHY SHE WOULD PURSUE SUCH AN UNSTABLE BUSINESS, THE FIERCE OPTIMIST SAID, “I’LL BE THE ONLY ONE SELLING HOUSES.” WITH NEARLY TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN SALES IN 2012, TURNER APPRECIATES EVERY BIT OF HER UNPARALLELED SUCCESS AND AT 73 SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN. SHE IS ONE OF HOUSTON’S MOST ACTIVE AND BENEVOLENT PHILANTHROPISTS, PARTICIPATING IN MORE THAN 30 CIVIC AND CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES. YOU’VE NEVER MET A MORE MOTIVATED, INSPIRING AND HARD-WORKING TRAILBLAZER THAN MARTHA TURNER.
HARRISON: WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT BEING A CHILD? TURNER: Oh, I can tell you exactly! Playing paper dolls. I used to dream about being Kelly Keen and I remember thinking when I grow up I want to have beautiful suits and I want to know how to put my make up on and I want my hair to look perfect every day and I also want a big office to go work in. That was my dream as a little girl, and guess what – it happened! HARRISON: HOW DO YOU FEED YOUR SOUL? TURNER: One of the ways I feed my soul is mentoring. I have 228 agents and people come in and ask what do you think about this or that, and it may be something about real estate or something else. I get to mentor all day long and I love it. And then, I like to read positive books or magazine articles. HARRISON: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE IS? TURNER: It is “here’s to loving, living, laughing, no more whining, worrying, working.” Also, to forgive. And it’s not something I was born with. I taught myself to not let things that were wrong and happened in the past stay up here [points to head] and harbor them. I forgive people, let it go and go on.
HARRISON: IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE? TURNER: I would love to sit down and visit with Georgia O’Keefe. She was a trailblazer and didn’t even think about age. HARRISON: IF YOU WERE AN ANIMAL, WHICH ANIMAL WOULD YOU BE? TURNER: I’d like to be an eagle. They are strong and graceful and very self-sufficient.
HARRISON: WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF COURAGE? I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT. TURNER: Courage is fear that has said a prayer. I put courage right on the same level as self-esteem. It’s how I feel about myself in making things happen in my life.
HARRISON: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A CHILD? TURNER: I used to tell the children I taught, there is nothing in the world that you can’t be. If you dream about it and you write your goals, you can do it. I’d tell them that nothing – nothing – is impossible. I’d tell them what Winston Churchill said: “Never, never, never give up.”
HARRISON: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THE MEANING OF LIFE IS? TURNER: Life is a journey that has been given to us by God. How we live it is our own choice, but it is a gift from Him.
Founder and CEO of Harrison Coaching + Consulting, a boutique coaching and consulting firm, Tricia Harrison is also a lawyer, writer, motivational speaker and champion of our triumphant human spirit.

Sundown at The Grove presented by Jaguar Houston Central, the popular 10-week after-work craft beer event series, came to a close on September 18, featuring selections from Houston’s own Saint Arnold Brewery. Hundreds turned up to watch the sun go down at The Grove’s Vista Room and Treehouse Bar overlooking Discovery Green. While sipping Saint Arnold Lawnmower, Santos, Elissa IPA and Amber Ale and tasting custom-made bites – including Okra & Summer Corn with Cajun Smoked Ham; Braised Chicken Thigh Tacos with Habanero Tomato Salsa, Cabbage and Radish; Chopped Burnt End BBQ Brisket with Potato Salad; and Mini Black Bean Chili Bread Bowls with Brazos Valley Cheddar – from The Grove’s chefs, craft beer enthusiasts mixed and mingled to a groovin’ playlist from Saint Arnold executive chef Ryan Savoie.

randon Licatino and Brandy Chu had been cooking up the CUTTHROAT concept for about a year. The pair had gone to barber school together and are a rarity in the hair world in that they not only are licensed cosmetologists, but licensed barbers. What does this mean to you? Licatino and Chu know their way around scissor cuts, clippers and straight razors. In other words, Cutthroat is a jack of all trades – hair-related, of course. And it’s all for men. They researched the concept and were influenced by Sfc in San Francisco and the Blind Barber in NYC.
STYLE +LEISURE
“Everything fell into place like it was meant to be. It took about two months to get the space ready and open. We haven’t had that many hiccups,” shared Chu. The two still work at Licatino’s Roots Salon and moved all the male clients to the barber shop. There’s also a Kegerator ensuring a fresh, cold draft beer for guest.

HIS MONTH IT’S ALL ABOUT THE ANIMAL PRINT. EVEN THOUGH ANIMAL PRINTS CAN BE FOUND ALL YEAR LONG, THEY HAVE REALLY TAKEN THE SPOTLIGHT THIS SEASON: CHEETAH, LEOPARD, ZEBRA... I’VE EVEN SEEN DALMATIAN! ALONG WITH THE ENDLESS AMOUNT OF PRINTS ARE THE ENDLESS WAYS TO WEAR THEM. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF THE MANY THAT WE WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE MONTH! I’m a HUGE fan of doing print on print. Here, the prints on the shoes and pants are not identical but same color scheme so it worked. To balance the look I kept the top simple and added a few dainty pieces of jewelry.
Tank: Zara A.L.C. pants: Neiman Marcus Manolo Blahnik pumps: Neiman Marcus Eddie Borgo bracelets: Neiman Marcus Lionette 3-layered necklace: www.lionetteny.com
If wearing big pops of prints is not your thing then you can always incorporate a print with smaller details. Here the shoes fit the bill. With an otherwise neutral outfit I was able to have more fun with the jewelry – and instead of being dainty, I went statement! Helmut Lang leather jacket: Neiman Marcus Haute Hippie sequin skirt: Neiman Marcus Christian Louboutin shoes: Neiman Marcus Alexis Bittar necklace: Neiman Marcus -Follow me on Instagram, @marzifat, along with special guest Grace Salinas from @BohoBlack for the month of October for more animal print looks. 58. november 13 | www.002mag.com

MALTA St. George events space
J
By Sandra Ramani
UST 60 MILES SOUTH OF ITALY SITS A SCENIC TRIO OF ENGLISH-SPEAKING ISLANDS WITH WORLDCLASS DIVING, EXCELLENT EATS, MAJOR HISTORIC SITES AND PLENTY OF SUN-KISSED CHARM – ALL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ATTRACTING BRITISH AND EUROPEAN VISITORS FOR YEARS. BUT WHILE AMERICAN POP CULTURE FANS MIGHT RECOGNIZE MALTA AS A FILMING LOCATION FOR THINGS LIKE “GAME OF THRONES” AND “GLADIATOR,” AND HISTORY BUFFS WOULD KNOW ABOUT ITS IMPORTANCE DURING WORLD WAR II OR, EVEN FURTHER BACK, THE LEGENDARY KNIGHTS OF MALTA (WHOSE BOXY CROSS STILL ADORNS THE NATIONAL FLAG), MOST US TRAVELERS AREN’T AWARE OF WHAT AWAITS ON THIS MEDITERRANEAN ARCHIPELAGO. HERE’S JUST A TASTE.
THE BASICS Malta (population 400,000) is made up of three islands: The largest, Malta, is the commercial, cultural and governmental hub; second biggest, Gozo, is dotted with farms, fishing villages and lovely beaches; and tiny Comino has just one hotel and a few residents. Over the centuries, the islands have been the domain of everyone from the ancient Phoenicians and Byzantines to the Arabs, Knights of Malta and Napoleon Bonaparte, but it was 160-odd years of British rule that left English – along with Maltese – as a main language. www.visitmalta.com WHAT TO SEE Built in the 16th century, and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, capital city Valletta is made for wandering, with elegant gardens, steep streets lined with mom-and-pop stores and a unique mix of architecture (from French and Victorian confections to a contemporary Renzo Piano complex). Save a day just for cultural

sites like the National Museum of Archaeology, Casa Rocca Piccola (a private palace filled with period furnishings) and the ornate St. John’s Co-Cathedral, built by the Knights and now housing a rare signed Caravaggio painting. With roots going back to the Phoenicians, the Arabs and European nobility, the walled city of Mdina – also known as the Silent City – showcases Malta’s rich and tangled history. Only about 300 people live here now, but you can wander through the maze of streets to check out historic palazzos or pop into a shop to snag a gold Maltese cross. Home to civilizations as far back at 5200 BC, Malta has an astounding number of archeological sites, from the Bronze Age and beyond. Explore catacombs, tombs, burial sites and ancient temple complexes, like the Hypogeum underground labyrinth. (See Visit Malta for a list.)

WHERE TO PLAY Take the ferry from Malta to Gozo for a day in the sun. There are archeological sites and cultural spots (like Knights-era watchtowers and in-use salt pans) on this island, too, but the pace here is so relaxed and the farmto-sea scenery so idyllic, we recommend heading to a beach town like Marsalforn for a dip in the Mediterranean and a waterside meal of fresh fish or wood-fired pizzas. On main island Malta, St. Julien’s Bay is nightlife central, with several streets dedicated to bars and clubs. The crowd skews younger, but if you’re up for going out, there’s always a party here. Overlooking the Grand Harbour, where sea battles once raged and cruise ships now dock, the pastel facades of the newly restored, 250-year-old Valletta Waterfront lead to a row of trendy restaurants and bars, serving everything from Cantonese and Latin fusion to Sicilian fare, all using fresh Med ingredients. WHERE TO STAY Malta is where it all began for the now-global Corinthia Hotels, and the brand’s stellar options on the main island are the best places to enjoy modern comforts with local flare. The historic Corinthia Palace, the very first property, is set in a leafy area near the Presidential Palace and San Anton Gardens, and retains the feel of a posh villa, with a classic decor, elegant restaurants (including a stellar pan-Asian spot) and comfortable rooms; there’re also indoor and outdoor pools and a spa complex. At the more contemporary Corinthia St. George’s Bay, rooms look out onto the sea, small private beach and multi-level pool complex, from where you can tweet your order to the bar. Snag a table at the Grill 3301 Terrace for the best sunset views. www.corinthia.com

CHAD LANDRY
e were turned on to Landry last year in a profile we did featuring his leather works and jewelry. But this time around, we can’t get enough of his Vine videos and Instagram account featuring his teacup chihuahua Olivia. “Olivia is my little girl, she’s six and from Dallas from some lady. She was supposed to be a tea cup, but she kept growing.”
“I like being visual. I come from a small town where it was all about sports. I didn’t care, so I was always making stuff. My sister taught me the whole beauty industry and I started doing hair. I like being visual. I’m very socially awkward, especially when it comes to big groups. When I’m one-on-one I’m fine. It’s [social media] a way to stay in hiding but express my humorous side.”
The New Orleans transplant (from the swamps) made it to Houston by way of Dallas eight years ago and has worked at Roots Salon for two years (which coincidentally is also owned by Brandon Licatino, whose Cutthroat is featured in this issue on page 56.)
“Where else am I going to show that headpiece on Olivia other than Instagram and Vine? You can be so creative on Vine, and people are doing such creative things with that six seconds. You need a lot of animation and tools and you need a lot of time! It doesn’t seem like you do, but you do.”

WHERE TO LIVE NOW
THE HEIGHTS
Photography by Omar Mejia
SEEING THAT THE MARKET IS HOT RIGHT NOW, AND THERE AREN’T ENOUGH HOUSES ON THE MARKET, IT ONLY MADE SENSE TO FEATURE ONE OF THE MOST HISTORIC AND QUAINT NEIGHBORHOODS LOCATED MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN AS WELL AS THE GALLERIA AREA. The Houston Heights does not conform to construction trends which is why it really hasn’t changed since Oscar Martin Carter developed it in 1886 to appeal to the middle class. Today young families and creatives live in the area in original or remodeled bungalows and Victorian replicas. Although there is new construction, they must conform to strict deed restrictions. The Heights Playground in Donovan Park is a true gem right off the Heights Blvd. esplanade, as is Marmion Park. The Heights Neighborhood Library is a beautifully restored historic building offering the community a bevy of programs. West 19th Street is home to a bevy of acclaimed restaurants, galleries, antique shops and boutiques, and is home to the yearly White Linen Nights. Ruggles Green, Liberty Kitchen, Revival Market, Shade, City Oven and Tacos A Go-Go are a few of the restaurants that call The Heights home.

TOOLS AND GADGETS
BIRKSUN SOLAR BACKPACK When traveling, many of the electronic devices people rely upon do not have sufficient battery life to make it through the day. To settle this issue, I toted around a solar backpack from BirkSun for a few weeks. All while soaking up the sun to recharge all the devices I carry. BirkSun solar backpacks were created to assist people with spending time outdoors but with the assurance that they will never again be stranded without power. A built-in battery pack is the heart of the backpack and can be charged via sunlight or a power outlet. A variety of devices can be charged while inside the backpack using 8 pin, 30 pin, mini- and micro-USB adapters. If you are an outdoors lover this comes in handy, especially in emergency situations. $150
SPOILER SHIELD APP I wasn’t able to watch last weekend’s Texans game when it aired live, meaning I faced a risk bigger than JJ Watt running after me: spoilers. Come Monday morning, one look at Facebook or Twitter and I’d almost certainly read something that gave away game details. Spoiler Shield for iOS to the rescue! (It’s coming soon for Android.) This ingenious app filters your feeds so you can stay social-media active while avoiding accidental spoilers. And it works with not only NFL and MLB but also TV shows. The app is basically a Facebook and Twitter viewer that blocks whatever you tell it to block from a preset list. If any of these blocked items appears in your Facebook or Twitter feed, you’ll see a Spoiler Shield banner where the post would usually be. If you decide you want to read what’s behind it, just double-tap. Free
SMART BARTENDER I’ve been thinking of changing my moniker to “The High-Tech Bartender.” If I do, then I will be using this revolutionary home bartending device called Perfect Drink. It’s a smart scale and app that lets you choose from hundreds of drink recipes, follow realtime pouring instructions, and watch as a virtual glass fills on your smartphone or tablet. That way, you know exactly how much to pour and when to stop. Place any glass (or the included shaker) on the smart scale. Perfect Drink lets you choose any serving size, so you can make everything from single serving to party pitcher. The scale automatically weighs each ingredient as you pour and alerts you when to stop. As the ingredients reach the fill line, it alerts you to move on to the next ingredient. $70

The Brew

CROSSWORD

REVIVAL
Photography by Sofia van der Dys
MARKET THE WHO: The hottest butcher in town also has a fantastic little coffee outpost. Staffed by some real friendly and passionate folks, Revival’s coffee rivals that of most great Houston coffee bars – most just don’t offer outside skirt steak or housemade cured meats, local produce and a wide assortment of craft groceries along with it! We could argue that local Heights folks and just about everyone else in Houston knows all about this though as weekends and daily lunches bring in the crowds! THE BREW: Hitting on the local theme, Revival uses locally roasted beans from none other than Greenway Coffee based right here in Houston. Rotating cold brew, drip brew and espresso can be mixed with local milk and housemade syrups to make just about any drink you could possibly want. Try the espresso flight for a unique way to experience the many favors of espresso. THE FOOD: The recently introduced daily breakfast menu with single specials every Saturday (bagels, kolachies, pancakes, arepas and more!) are the high notes. The coffee bar stocks pastries, housemade breakfast tacos and cake for your afternoon delight. Pastry? Fluff Bakery and other local options are in the coolers just past the meat. Some real interesting lunch options and prepared foods for dinner are available as well. OVERHEARD IN THE CROWD: “You should absolutely join us for supper club Wednesday nights.” Typical Heights, and we love it.
