different countries from there and it’s really inexpensive. One of my favorite days there was at Shangri La. Beautiful, cultural, and exotic in every way. AB: Favorite shops in your town, Dallas... holly: I still love going to the Malls,

although in Dallas the outdoor malls have gotten really popular. Highland Park Village in Dallas has all kinds of high end boutiques, including Christian Louboutin and Frederic Fekkai, but I still gravitate to Willow Bend Mall, because it’s in the suburb that I live in and I love all the amazing stores and events that take place there.

the face to face interaction is priceless. Also, because I have such an incredible team at my office, I am able to work from anywhere. Being able to travel and enjoy life, and knowing that you are taking care of the people that count on you and are paying for your services. AB: What do you love about South Florida? New York? holly: This is a good question be-

cause these two states represent the two sides of my personality. I love the hustle and bustle of New York, the lights, the shows, all the incredible food and shopping. I never get tired of all the small family shops

S I’ve been to a lot of beaches in the US, but I prefer the East Coast. I love Destin. The beaches are so white and beautiful, and it’s so casual.

S AB: Favorite restaurants holly: My favorite restaurant is

“Cut” in Las Vegas. My husband and I got married there and went to that place that night. A year later we went back and did a ceremony again, just for fun. It’s the most incredible steak place in the world!

and go about six times a year! I’ve thought about getting a place but the truth is that I love to travel so much and to so many places, that I

can’t make sense of doing it. That’s why I love Dallas as a hub. It’s so easy to get everywhere and the economy is great! Very prosperous and good real estate, also a quick flight to the East and West coast!

things. I don’t risk being out of town without the essentials. Of course I pack clothes, and my stylist, Laurie Graham Style, taught me to lay out outfits complete with shoes and jewelry to make

sure that each day I have everything I need. AB: Favorite city in the world? holly: Singapore is really fascinat-

In South Florida, it’s so warm and relaxed. Everyone of all income levels are easy going and slow moving. Sometimes when I’m there I want everyone to speed up, but then I remember that it’s me that needs to slow down. I feel relaxed, grounded, and inspired there. I love meeting so many amazing people with incredible stories there too. There is a lot of money in both states, but in New York, you can see the major contrast of money. The di-

n your search for the allusive Pat Nix you may find yourself leisurely strolling the Boulevards of Paris, crossing the open plains of Texas or sauntering down the famed Worth Avenue where you discover this Paradise - window shopping amongst the world’s ultimate luxury stores, shops and boutiques on one of the most beautiful avenues imaginable; such is Palm Beach. But where is she? You then step into her elevator and enter her world. Because of her renown we cannot divulge the actual location but suffice it to say it is one of the most engaging and absolutely lovely, let alone awe inspiring locations in the US. No wonder she finds inspiration there. Having recently relocated from her legendary brownstone in Gramercy Park, NYC it’s not surprising she, most fortunately for us, discovered her new xanadu in Palm Beach. Her home and studio graciously rambles through numerous elegant and large high ceilinged rooms surrounded on one side by large orangery windows and balconies amongst the tops of Royal Palms on the other by French

Art Bodega | hidden treasures doors opening out onto a gorgeous second floor garden replete with fine sculpture and lush vegetation. Immediately one’s spirit is lifted not by the privacy of her lovely environment but by her thoroughly engaging colorful artwork which is displayed throughout. You can’t talk, you are in the trance of her creation. You meet this quick witted, fun, wonderful, petite, vivacious blonde and this is the Pat Nix you are seeking; one of the art world’s treasures; an American Icon! Albeit a very well known and globally respected artist she originally hails from Texas yet has lived and traveled extensively. She is a devoted mother who can recount holding a baby in her arms while creating some of the most popular images of flowers. She smiles and giggles as she tells tales of her own family life in Texas, her young years as a mother, then her years studying with the fabulous and popular art teacher Vaclav Vytlacil in NYC at the Art Students League.

er work includes, but is not limited at all to her famous collages, mixed media works and her shadow boxes that her friend, Andy Warhol, coveted. Pat started her artistic endeavors at age 11 growing up in El Paso as an only child, without cousins. Cutely she remarks that for her family she was ‘the only game in town’. She would entertain herself and easily fall in love with all sorts of images she encountered. Her first was a birthday card sent by her maternal grandmother. The image was of a lovely rose that she just had to copy. She sold her copy for $35 to her first Collector thus starting an affair that has lasted many decades creating sheer joy for her

my work was very serious from the beginning

S As an art student in New York City, Nix would receive objects from art collectors and friends, which she will then use in art creations. Her art boxes were so captivating, Andy Warhol wanted to buy all of them.

numerous eager and anxious Collectors; individual, Institutional and Corporate. At this interview she had just returned to Palm Beach from a very successful solo show at a Texas Museum. Picture this: she is riding her bicycle on a back road near her grandmother’s home in Big Springs, Texas when she spots a piece of weathered white wood by the roadside. She grabs it, drags it home and paints on it the image of a flowering weeping peach tree, and again sells it for $35. Critics and curators alike are astounded that she was totally self taught as a child. It was in 1972 that one of her best friends, Elaine de Koon-

ing, a very famous artist, along with her husband, Willem, strongly urged her to move to NYC immediately and join the American art movement of the time. That is when she found Vaclav Vytlacil at the Art Students League where she studied off and on over the next dozen years. Vaclav when asked about her would reply with that famous twinkle in his eye, ‘Oh, that little girl with those Big paintings?” As she stated to us, “my work was very serious from the beginning; I live in my own world”. You recognize and admire this revealing aspect as you view her latest unfinished work mounted on John Singer Sargent’s tall, heavy, paint

covered wooden easel surrounded by an artist’s work table of half spent oils, brushes and other tools of creation.

eated below one of her portraits of Elizabeth I Patricia happily recalled for us how, married at 17, she would hurriedly put their 3 children down for their nap. Magically she would enter her little art world and take over the kitchen spreading her paints and materials everywhere; on top of the washer, the dryer, the kitchen table, the floor, cabinets and even

the stove, where she painted her well known little flower ditties, mostly ‘floppy poppies’ and would sell them to an eager group of collectors for $100 each. She said the food that came from that kitchen wasn’t great however, her children did grow to sufficient size and became successful lawyers. She used the proceeds to travel back and forth to NYC to study and start exhibiting at the Tower Gallery in Southampton. She became friends with many artists, some of who also exhibited at the Tower Gallery including Any Warhol, Larry Rivers, Louise Nevelson and Alfonso Ossorio sharing their lives, loves and friends during that amazingly creative American art period.

he was academically precocious, casting aside what might be described by others as normal social development intent on exploring her magical and creative genius. On the mixed media side her artwork combines items she collects and those given by her friends, curators, collectors and unknown people who admire her work, all kinds of bits and pieces; a lone earring or glove, buttons, beads, pieces of broken ceramic, furniture and glass, doll heads, arms, legs and eyes, leather, paper photographs and uncounted items of familiarity. She then creates perhaps a Series, including several pieces be they long and hung in line like belts of fantasia along on a large wall or items intricately placed in creations of framed boards or multi embossed levels of intrinsic involvement – all speaking of the powerful meaning she envisions in each work. Some get it and others obviously don’t yet either way you are immersed in another world of communication, her world. Patricia Nix’s absolutely amazing oil on canvas paintings are of fabled stature and highly prized.

The objects are drawn from the Al Thani collection, notable for the quality and size of its precious stones, both unmounted and set in jewellery. It reflects India’s position over many centuries as an international market for precious stones, including diamonds from its famous Golconda mines, emeralds from South America, rubies from Burma, spinels from central Asia and sapphires from Sri Lanka. The Mughal emperors and their successors used objects made of luxury materials in their court rituals and the exhibition will highlight the techniques used by goldsmiths in the Indian subcontinent to make them. The exhibition also includes three important loans from the Royal Collection, lent by Her Majesty The Queen including a jewelled bird from the gold canopy of Tipu Sultan’s throne. The exhibition is drawn from the Al Thani Collection – the private collection formed by Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani  Brooch set with emeralds, sapphires and diamonds, 1922, Cartier, Paris, France.

There will also be contemporary pieces made by JAR of Paris and Bhagat of Mumbai which combine Mughal inspiration and Art Deco influences.

Dr. Tabasum

Mir A glam star conquering television By Rebeca Herrero

anhattan, New York- I arrived at an office building in Soho thinking I was going to find a doctor’s office. When I enter the premises where dermatologist Tabasum Mir sees clients, I find a spectacular venue where mirrors decorate the entrance, with a glamorous chandelier and periodicals highlighting the space atmosphere for you to read and enjoy. Well it happens that Dr. Tabasum Mir is more than a doctor, she has become a TV personality and fashion influencer thanks to her appearances on Bravo’s “The Singles Project”. When I meet her she is beautiful, tall, and exotic, her looks are also a symbol of her aura. Perfectly coiffed and dressed, she goes straight to business about her blogosphere world, where she has more than 50,000 followers on her social media who belong to her name and fun tags. She has created a blog called GlamMir where you can find interviews with television personalities, see photos of her wearing the latest fashion and fascinating make up. On top of it all, as well as being a New

York socialite and knowing everyone about town, she has a good heart. “I was always very ambitious, I started college when I was 16 years, I knew I had to work hard to become a doctor,” says Mir whose instinctual drive brought her to New York eventually. Born in Karshmari, near the Himalayan mountains (on the Indian side), Mir came to the United States with her father at a really young age. She grew up in Washington D.C., but now lives and loves the concrete peaks of Manhattan. Now having her own practice in downtown New York, Mir realized as a young specialist she could not work for someone else. “I knew I was never going to be happy. I am not the typical dermatologist from the Upper East Side, I work hard to bring my clients downtown. It’s been a learning experience, knowing how to develop your own business, at times it can be challenging but it is the most rewarding,” admits this determined stunner. Her place of work is very opulent. She describes herself as a creative type that does all her own decor, recreating a look and feel that reflects her personality. It is very welcoming and appealing to the eye. 

t’s important to Mir to makes sure her appointments are met on time, and her punctuality reflects her dedication to her patients. They are her priority. “The great thing about having your own practice is the reason I can manage my hours. I can set up appointments and commit to my patients, while I can organize a social and glamorous schedule on the side. It is important for my traveling needs,” affirms Mir. Recently she traveled to Houston for a conference as she is constantly keeping track of the latest trends on skin treatments. During her photo shoot with us, she made sure we got advice about skin ailments, maintaining the concern and professionalism of the exceptional specialist that she is. Seeing Tabasum Mir in action during the photo shoot at Art Space in Manhattan was in many ways a spectacle of art and fashion. Glam34 | ART BODEGA | september / october 2015 | www.artbodega.com

orous dresses that cost thousands of dollars were worn at ease, perfectly fitting her statuesque physique. Another interesting point about her social media component is that she provides fashion advice, or simply makes a recommendation, and giving advice about what to buy online. Not many doctors can say they have this side job that lifts her status as one of the most attractive celebs in the country.

ecently featured in Ok Magazine as one of the most stunning celebs on the red carpet, she does not let the buzz get in her head. “I want people to know that first and foremost I am a doctor. I am young, yes I have been offered some TV roles, but I think television is a platform to do broader things, help people and it a major trend that is here to stay”, concludes Mir, while wearing the latest designs of Sha Ali Ahmad, Cenia, Silvia Tcherassi and Ann Taylor.  For more information on Tabasum Mir go to: www.mirskin.com

WHAT MAKES THIS PROPERTY COMPLETELY UNIQUE IN THE CULINARY WORLD? In Riviera Maya, we have developed the first authentic culinary theatrical experience of its kind in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. Bringing to life a fine dining experience that mirrors the content of a Cirque du Soleil performance – both in menu and presentation – was no simple feat. Vidanta executive chef Alexis Bostelmann worked hand-in-hand with creators for Cirque du Soleil to refine and hone a menu that traced the show’s both Mexican and Canadian roots, while also considering a variety of operational challenges – imagine preparing to serve 200 of the same dish in the same prepared manner each night. Sourcing local and responsibility grown, farmed or fished ingredients was a huge undertaking. The cuisine itself visitors will find playful and intriguing – from our appetizer of “Dragon’s Breath” to the selection of a land, sea or garden entrée (rotates seasonally) to dessert served up in a most creative manner. Even your menu itself is edible parchment! Guests of JOYA that opt to include the dinner service are also treated to an entertaining prelude act, complete with a string quartet and mischievous characters from JOYA, giving them an intimate and interactive setting to begin immersing themselves in the show experience.

ne of the best destinations in Mexico are the Vidanta Resorts and Hotels. One of its many properties is the Vidanta Riviera Maya, an outstanding “mega-resort” that features the Joya Cirque de Soleil show. Here the company explains to Art Bodega Magazine why they are so unique in their element.

What makes your hotels stand out? At Vidanta resorts and hotels, we put our guests first. Many of the guests that visit our resorts in Mexico’s premier beach destinations have been members with Vidanta for decades – and some have even passed their membership down to their children! We’re a 40-plus year old tourism developer with a proven track record of continuing to push the boundaries of luxury vacation travel. These are destinations in Mexico and Latin America that are very appealing, what specific plans have you outlined in the past years to expand it and excel. Vidanta carefully selects the most luxurious locations for its resort and hotel properties. Since starting in 1974 with one hotel in Mazatlan, our founder (now retired), Daniel Chavez Moran, executed a careful expansion plan to develop wonderful resort attractions across Mexico’s most desired beach destinations. In recent years, Vidanta has expanded the footprint and offerings at its two premier destinations - Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta and Vidanta Riviera Maya – to such a degree that we consider them “megaresorts.” At these properties you will find multiple hotel/resort brands housed in one 42 | ART BODEGA | september / october 2015 | www.artbodega.com

common property, as well as luxury golf courses, private beaches, fine dining and casual restaurants and more. In Riviera Maya, we developed and launche JOYA by Cirque du Soleil at the Vidanta Theater in 2014. The theater, located on a property adjacent to the Vidanta Riviera Maya resort, was designed and built by Vidanta to exclusively house the first permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Mexico, JOYA. The show has been a great success for visitation to Mexico and the Cancun/Riviera Maya area. At Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, we are finishing the development of a Greg Norman Golf Course Design signature course that will open in January 2016. Already the largest golf course operator in Mexico, Vidanta Golf has additional plans to bring a second Greg Norman course to our Los Cabos resort within the next five years. This summer, in conjunction with Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto, Vidanta announced a $1.3 billion investment in the development of the Mexico tourism industry over the next decade. In addition to property enhancements, our investment in tourism will also bring major attractions and attention to all of Mexico. In Nuevo Vallarta we are in the early stages of developing a theme park experience in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil – the entertainment park would be the first of its kind as is expected to open in 2019. In Cabo, we have plans to develop an expansive new resort along the East Cape in the near future. Describe your favorite locations and why?

specialized vacation journey. Which is one of the reasons our members have been so apt to return to Vidanta resorts year-after-year: for members that enroll with us in long-term contract, we offer the ability to travel to any of our resorts annually. So why you may first fall in love with Vidanta at Nuevo Vallarta, you have access to our properties at Riviera Maya, Los Cobos, Puerto Penasco, Acapulco, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Among our selection of resorts, the Grand Luxxe Nuevo Vallarta is AAA Five Diamond award-winning, and we count multiple AAA Four-Diamond award-winning resorts among our best properties. One of the projects that most exemplifies Vidanta’s approach to developing vacation dreams is the Vidanta Theater in Riviera Maya. Building new within the Riviera Maya jungle is a careful balance of preserving the natural jungle habitat and constructing spaces that visitors find alluring, easy to access and amazing. That’s what we’ve accomplished in Riviera Maya – a home for Cirque du Soleil that is an escape into the natural jungle; a beautiful testament to preserving and using the natural environment to bring an experience to life more fully. Anyone who visits to see JOYA will recognize the correlation between the environment setting and the show itself.

You have Cirque de Soleil, what do audiences tell you after watching the show during dinner, whose idea it was? The inspiration to build a permanent Cirque du Soleil project in Mexico – one that would be one-of-a-kind and reinvent the entertainment market – was the joint idea from Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalliberte and Grupo Vidanta founder Daniel Chavez Moran. The two visionaries challenged their teams to imagine new vacation dreams that would benefit all of the country of Mexico. The final product delivered was created by the artists at Cirque du Soleil with input from the Vidanta culinary, operational and leadership teams. Audience reaction in the first 10 months of the show run has been extremely positive! We have operated a near-sellout of the theater each of the five nights the show is available per week. The show will go on hiatus during the month of September as the artists are given a much-deserved vacation, and is reopening in early October. Ticket sales are already underway. How do you allocate so many inventive and highly produced shows in these properties, do you value the context of the city? How many cities? With each and every project developed by Vidanta, we seek to bring to life the best of our destinations in terms of heritage and culture. Much of our guest programming at Vidanta Riviera Maya is developed in Mexican tradition. JOYA’s storyline traces Mexico’s cultural heritage Joya’s storyline through an exquisite dining experience and acrobatic traces Mexico’s Cirque du Soleil perforcultural heritage through mance. Other projects inan exquisite dining clude our annual Novemexperience and acrobatic ber representation of the Dia de Muertos altars that Cirque du Soleil honor the dead, and invite performance. our guests to a celebration complete with “calaveritas” (allusive poems) and Mexican themed costumes. The evening showcases Mexican folklore, as well as cultural and gastronomic heritage. Our goal is to bring worldclass entertainment to all of Mexico and Latin America. What we have begun in Riviera Maya and Nuevo Vallarta, we plan to extend to Los Cabos in the near future and all of our resorts and properties as time allows.  www.artbodega.com | SEPTEMBER / october 2015 | ART BODEGA | 43

What have you learned in your travels around the world that separates you from other Medspa Physicians? I have seen different perspectives, products and techniques. I have trained in unique approaches in the cosmetic and anti-aging field Which international conference has inspired you the most? I have attended dozens of conferences across the US and in other countries. The International Congress of Aesthetic Dermatology in Bangkok, Thailand and both The International Masters Course on Aging Skin in Paris

and in Dubai were the most inspirational. How do you decipher which conference will be the most beneficial to travel to? I read extensively regarding new procedures and techniques. I look for conferences that offer

52 | ART BODEGA | september / october 2015 | www.artbodega.com

advanced training on the subject that is important to me. I enjoy when I stumble upon new ideas.

What is the coolest beauty therapy you’ve seen thus far and in what country? When I visited the Himba tribe in Northern Namibia, Africa, I was intrigued by their youthful looking skin despite living naked in the harsh environment of the Namibian desert. Their beauty remedy to which they attribute their youthful looking skin consists of a potion made from cow dunge and clay.

Why is traveling an important part of your selection process of new technologies? As we all know, the Europeans are always ahead of us when it comes to minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and regenerative medicine. They usually have years of experience with new approaches that may be introduced years later in the US. It’s important to me to explore different countries’ techniques.

You are originally from Europe, so why did you choose the University of Miami School of Medicine in South Florida? I wanted to receive extensive training on a diverse population with a prestigious organization. Why do clients travel from around the world to visit your medical spa? I pride myself on innovative and creative treatment therapies. My clients usually receive services in other states and countries. When they arrive here in South Florida, I am told that many of the services I offer are limited at other places. My staff is exceptional, they provide smiling faces and stellar service.

In which country have you learned the most about beauty and antiaging? and why? Definitely Paris. What I love about the approach in France is that people truly seek a natural approach. Microcurrent is an example of a technology that I learned about years ago that had been used in Europe many years prior. Microcurrent lifts and tones the face giving a nice youthful lift.

What skincare product do you most favor and why? Tensage Intensive Serum Ampoules. I like Tensage Ampoules because of its natural ability to heal and repair using a secretion from a spanish snail. There are extensive clinical studies that prove its effectiveness.

Have you formed any relationship with other Medspa Physicians or medical spas in other countries? If so, how has this helped you? Yes. I have a very strong relationships with a medical spas in Hungary and Turkey. We exchange ideas and keep each other informed on recent updates in the industry. What country would you like to visit next to research new beauty techniques? India. Because I haven’t explored that market yet. And I’d like to see a completely different point of view in the anti-aging and cosmetic arena. They have unique raw materials that are not available anywhere else so far and I would love to learn more about it. Tensage Intensive Serum Ampoules are one of MD Beauty Labs favorite products available.

Why do you enjoy traveling and why does it play an important role in the choices you make for your cosmetic practice? I’ve always enjoyed traveling and I have seen more advances internationally in the cosmetic industry than we have here in the US. In the states it takes many years to approve technologies and products. These same products have been safely and effectively used for many years prior in other countries. It’s important for me to get out and explore all aspects of the industry so I can position myself as an expert in the field.

A Beauty

Where are your offices located? I have two offices. One is a 4100 sq ft Medical Spa in West Palm Beach called MD Beauty Labs and the other is in Palm Beach. It’s called BioAgeMD.

“

r. Dadurian has been known for her extensive travels around the world and being on the forefront of technology. Her spas in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach are a must for the client who expects a complete service that satisfies their aesthetic desires. Be it MD Beauty Labs or Bioage MD, these centers are a worldwide destination for the most demanding individual that seeks perfection, good treatment and beautiful results! Here she talks about her practice and one of her biggest passions, traveling.

Why are your services considered Luxury? Luxury to me is something you don’t need but can’t live without. I think a lot of beauty therapies fall under that realm. However, looking good results in a more confident “feel good” attitude. So the fact that I offer the latest technologies in an upscale environment makes it a luxury.  For more information visit www.drdadurian.com or call MD Beauty Labs 561-513-5817 or Bioage MD 561-288-6678 www.artbodega.com | SEPTEMBER / october 2015 | ART BODEGA | 53
