EDITOR’S PICK THROUGH INDIVIDALITY
and creativity, fashion trends are born. No one starts a trend for the purpose of mass consumption, rather, they want to step away from the norm. Yet once we see a new idea or design, we thirst for it and it becomes trend.

When a straight male portrays himself as gay to “fit in” to a gay situation. E.g. “The four girls dragged him to a gay bar where he arrived fashionably gay.”
“Clothes can suggest, persuade, connote, insinuate, or indeed lie, and apply subtle pressure while their wearer is speaking frankly and straightforwardly of other matters.”

INTERVIEW
THE FENUXE INTERVIEW
Some people think
of egg nog and mistletoe when they think of Christmas. Leslie Jordan thinks of a transgendered lesbian who's lamenting the loss of her vagina while getting ready for the Christmas Drag King Competition. It's just one of the off-kilter characters he plays in his upcoming show at the Buckhead Theatre, Deck Them Halls Y'all! The Emmy Award-winning actor and playwright's gay card is in platinum thanks to iconic roles as Karen Walker's pretentious rival Beverley Leslie on Will & Grace and as Brother Boy in the Sordid Lives film and TV series. He's a familiar face to the Atlanta theater scene thanks to past visits for his shows My Trip Down the Pink Carpet, Like a Dog on Linoleum, and Full of Gin & Regret. Jordan called us from West Hollywood to talk Deck Them Halls, coming out in Atlanta in the 70s, Swinging Richards, and the Will & Grace reunion that almost was.
14 FENUXE.COM
So Leslie, you lived in Atlanta in the mid-70s? I got out of high school in 1973 and did one semester in Knoxville at The University of Tennessee and I thought, “Honey, this old girl's gotta come out of that closet.” And I headed to Atlanta, GA in 1974. Backstreet was called Peaches Backdoor and it was just the upstairs area, not that downstairs area at all. The Armory was there, The Cove. All those bars were there, Lord have mercy.
Has there ever been any talk of a Will & Grace reunion? Well, my phone rang about a year ago and Megan Mullally said to me, “Honey, what do you think of Karen: The Musical? We'll do a Broadway show just you and me.” Karen Walker and Beverley Leslie on The Great White Way. And I said, “But honey you don't own that character, you can't just go do a musical. You have to clear it with NBC and the creators, it would be a fortune.” And she said, “Oh honey, I've done that.” So we had this musical in development, it was so secretive. Then about three or four months ago NBC called and snatched it right out from under us. She said she had already cleared it and she hadn't. [laughs]
So how did Deck Them Halls Y'all come about? I've been wanting to write something for a long time that didn't have anything to do with me. You know how all my stuff is about me, I'm just so tired of me. And I wrote the funniest thing I have ever written. It's three generations in this white trash family and they're all celebrating Christmas in their own sort of way. The grandmother is an aging stripper and I come out in full drag. Her name is Mee-Maw. She's the matriarch of this family. Her daughter is a transgendered lesbian who is lamenting the loss of her pussy during Christmastime. She misses it! When she was in high school she had a baby and that's the third generation. He's little Ronnie Lee Posey. He's 10-years-old and he's got potential. It's just me in full character. I spent a fortune on costumes. I'm gonna sing and dance. It's just a dog and pony show.
Was it more or less difficult putting together a fictional show versus an autobiographical show like you're used to? It was so easy. I thought, “My God I've got a million stories in me anyway.” And since I'm not writing about myself, I don't have to stick to the truth. When you're writing a character that you've invented, you can just go crazy. I am so excited about this because it opened a whole new creative door. I thought, “I can take these characters and run with them forever!”
What's your favorite song and dance number from the show? My favorite one is the transgendered lesbian, she's trying to win a karaoke contest. It's drag king night at the local gay bar and she's going to put a mustache on and do “Blue Christmas” by Elvis. She's trying to win $300 so she can pay for rent at the Sober Living House. She has a crystal meth problem. [laughs]
So it's just your classic Christmas show. [laughs] Yeah. And she's still kinda jerky. I don't know if you've ever seen anybody strung out on crystal but they're kinda jerky and squirmy-actin' ya know? They think people are after them. So bless her heart, she gets up there
to sing “Blue Christmas” and she can't quite get through it because she's so squirmy and jerky. [laughs]
Will you be spending much time in Atlanta while you're here? Any visits to Swinging Richards? I'm gonna go one night to Swinging Richards. I go to Swinging Richards one time just to see who the new boys are and introduce myself and welcome them to town. I'll really just be there about three days. But I'll be featured daily at The Flying Biscuit or the Einstein Bagels at Ansley Mall, that's my breakfast place.
Deck Them Halls Y’all!

COATCHECK We all want the
whole package – and then some. But pausing to consider the little things is crucial, especially when purchasing your winter coat. Take in these simple tips and you'll be a city standout throughout the season.
Simple collar.
Quit with the vampire look and give your neck accessories room to breath.
Understated buttons.
Lose the 90s pea coat “anchor”style ornaments.
Over exaggerated and elaborate cuffs for that
extra powerful impression.
Very slight but purposeful taper at the waist. Adds a
slimming look while not making it seem like you're trying too hard.

Length of coat should cut mid-thigh.
Shorter coats don't compliment the waistline and longer ones look, well... cultish.
THE FOUR-SEASON STUNNER Take a Spin With Us in the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet
By Colin Mathews
WHAT BETTER WAY to
show off your gym-tight body, healthy spray-tan glow (or the gift of naturally dark skin), or the fancy couture you just purchased at Neiman’s while stuck in traffic than through the open top of a sexy convertible? And whether you’re Adonis, Aphrodite, or more of an Armani, there’s always the undeniable thrill of taking in a crisp breeze while hearing the bark of a high-performance engine. What’s not to love about a convertible? Inclement weather, that’s what. In four-season cities like Atlanta, soft-top convertibles have traditionally been seasonal indulgences with penalties in cabin noise, structural rigidity, practicality, and even water leaks in inclement weather and carwashes. Enter the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet. This thoroughly redesigned take on the soft-top convertible sports a stiffened chassis to make up for the loss of its roof, a triple-thick soft top that provides a hushed interior, comfy back seats, and even a decent size trunk considering the roof that eats into luggage space. The feature that makes this truly a year-round top-down cruiser is Mercedes’ new AirScarf,
18 FENUXE.COM
which blankets the neck and upper body in toasty air emanating from vents in the front seatbacks. In concert with heated seats and Mercedes new AIRCAP Automatic Draft Stop – a clever windblocker that rises from the top of the windshield with the touch of a button, arcing air up and well away from your freshly-coiffed hairdo – it seems the engineers at Mercedes have finally managed sensible top-down operation for the unsensibly stylish. The Quartz Blue E550 Cabriolet drew admiring (and hateful) looks everywhere we drove, emitted a thrilling V-8 rumble while keeping up with Corvettes and Porsches, and had a cruise control system so smart it brings the car smoothly to a halt without the need to touch the brakes. On the downside, our loaded model was nearly 80K, a bit floaty in the handling department, and had so many tiny buttons on the dashboard we sometimes wished for a magnifying glass. With the base V-6, which is more than adequate in the acceleration department as well as easier on fuel, you can get into this machine in the low- to mid-60s. For the stylish exhibitionist who wants a no-compromises convertible, this Benz may just be the best ride yet.

While replenishing the stock of his custom jewelry at local upscale boutique Resale Therapy, Gary Talbert had an idea: design a unique piece of jewelry that can be worn by both men and women called the lariat. The 40-inch neck chain decorated with pendants became an instant hit and was the catalyst for the dynamic new jewelry line Boy Jewels. Talbert is a longtime Atlanta resident who got his start in the jewelry market with Kavae’ Designs, which he introduced at AmericasMart in 2006 before the Boy Jewels inspiration struck him last year. He incorporates silver, smart glass, and semiprecious stones focusing on the finish and feel
of the Boy Jewels pieces to help him determine the final look. The color depends on the season, so for winter it’s warmer, muted colors. Black chains and pendants in particular make a very bold statement and are selling fast. Recently, he’s also been experimenting with mismatched metals and asymmetrical designs, making Boy Jewels a constantly evolving, innovative line for the man or woman with an eye for individuality and a bit of a wild side. Boy Jewels can be found at Resale Therapy, e.k. taylor, or at www.boyjewels.com.
JOE KNOWS
JEANS Local devotees of the red-hot Joe’s Jeans clothing line have had to choose from slim pickings at boutiques and department stores. Until now.
But it’s typically the jeans that most are after, and Joe’s keeps it simple through five men’s styles with nicknames like The Brixton, The Classic, The Outsider, The Rebel, and The Rocker.
“We finally just decided to do a whole boutique from top to bottom,” says Scott Manus, manager of Atlanta’s first full scale Joe’s Jeans boutique store now open at Phipps Plaza. The entire line of sexy but effortless pieces are available locally for the first time, from jeans and t-shirts to button-downs, bags, and belts.
Joe’s namesake Joe Dahan created the men’s-shop-within-a-women’s-shop concept specifically for the Phipps location. It’s a fitting idea considering many of Joe’s items are unisex. Anybody up for a good old-fashioned gender bend?

The Joe’s Jeans movement has been a huge success in Europe and is soon moving into the Middle East, but luckily Atlanta’s got first dibs on the hottest looks throughout the winter season.

Dear Mary, I think I’ve outgrown my circle of friends. Don’t get me wrong, I love hitting up a bar or a club every once in awhile, but my friends look at me funny if I don’t want to go out four or five times a week. They keep complaining I’m getting old. It’s not that at all. I’m jealous of the people who go to a play or even a movie every once in awhile. How do I expand my horizons without alienating my friends?
Signed, Motivated for More
Dear Motivated, I understand where you’re coming from. Gone are the days when I can jump out of bed after three hours of sleep, shake off my residual bar buzz/hangover and be a productive human being all while planning what kind of alcohol-fueled mischief I will get into later that evening. But guess what? I do it anyway. I’m no quitter. If you pass up one night at the bar, you might miss something. What something? I have no idea, but if you aren’t there, you’ll miss it, and you’ll be sorry. Tip you say? If all the late nights are taking a toll on your appearance, try this top beauty trick: keep two spoons in the freezer. If you wake up one morning and find your eyes are puffy and dull, grab those two spoons and just shove them right up your ass. I can assure you, two frozen spoons in the keester will open your eyes in a hurry, giving you a youthful, slightly psychotic look. But never let someone calling you old stop you from doing something you want to do. There is so much wonderful culture here in Atlanta and if your friends can’t appreciate that, it is certainly time to branch out. Don’t burn your bridges with your club-going pals, though; like you said, going out to the club occasionally is fun. Also, one day, all but the most dedicated of them will realize they want something a little more substantial out of life than a series of one-night stands and hungover mornings, and when they do, you can welcome them with open arms into the world of grown ups.

At Cobb Wellness Center, our goal is to help you renew, rejuvenate and restore, inside and out. Accelerated aging is associated with poor diet, stress and poor nutrition. We combine age management, cosmetic medicine and nutritional therapies to help you get healthy, balanced and beautiful. Hormone balancing, nutritional therapies and cosmetic treatments help you look and feel great. Our skin care programs incorporate internal wellness therapies as well as outer cosmetic treatments.
Dr. Kelley is a board certified OB/GYN physician who has been in practice for fifteen years. She has incorporated cosmetic medicine into her wellness practice. Her patients appreciate cosmetic treatments that can help them rejuvenate their skin and body. Combining small procedures, like Botox and wrinkle fillers in a liquid lift, can rejuvenate the face without surgery. With hormone imbalances and stress we can get unwanted fat deposits. Dr. Kelley’s body sculpting procedures include Mesotherapy and in-office Liposuction that helps contour the body. During your complimentary consultation with Dr. Kelley, she will recommend the best procedure for you.

VIRGO Berets are in. Wear one that brings out the color in your eyes. LIBRA The 90’s are over and leather should never be worn below the belt… unless it’s a pair of shoes.
