cover Dennis Dean Galleries Moves to the Royal Palm Resort

Award-winning photographer Dennis Dean continues to make his mark in the international art world. He will be moving his renowned galleries from its current home on Wilton Drive to the stunning newly refurbished Royal Palms Resort on the beach in Fort Lauderdale as of October 1. “This offer gives me the opportunity to have a different audience for my work from all over the world on a rotating weekly basis because of the constant flow of visitors who come to stay at the resort. “My work will be shown in the rooms, spa, fitness center, and the bar and grill. It is fantastic that guests will be surrounded by my work, and I am proud to be working with Royal Palms’ Managing Partner Mario Careaga.” Dennis is acclaimed for his creative abilities, strong composition, and dramatic lighting. He specializes in state-of-the-art digital photography for fitness, fashion, and fine art. Dennis published his first art book, “Within Reach,” to rave reviews. That led to his work being showcased in a plethora of art publications, fitness magazines, calendars, greeting cards, as well as countless exhibitions, including two in London at the Adonis Art Gallery. Another advantage of the move to the new

location is, as Dennis puts it, “I will be able to do shoots with guests on the property as well as offer locals the chance to be shot at a sleek and sexy location. We are working on Spa Packages that include a photo shoot as well as a day of pampering.” Dennis is the Creative Director and Photographer of Five Star Monkey’s Ruff Riders and Live Free Be Strong brands. He is also the Editorial Photographer for Mark and Passport Magazines, having shot countless covers and fashion layouts. Dennis says in conclusion, “The camera has been my best friend since the age of 14. We have created thousands and thousands of images throughout the years. I am a lover of art and beauty. When I photograph, I capture the moment that speaks to me and tells a story. Lighting and location are a key component in my work.” Stop by the resort to see Dennis’ work, or make an appointment through the spa at 954-564-6444, ext. 403. Dennis is available for a photo session by appointment only at 954-240-8307.

SnowBizNow You Can’t Stop the Beat By Nicholas Snow

o

There’s a breakout song from the hit Broadway stage and movie musical Hairspray in which an unlikely heroine, Tracy Turnblad, proclaims, “…You can’t stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky. You can wonder if you wanna but I never ask why. And if you try to hold me down, I’m gonna spit in your eye and say that you can’t stop the beat!” With so much going against us on so many levels worldwide (I’m not playing the victim, just stating the facts), most members of the LGBTQ community have been challenged from our earliest memories to even simply love and accept ourselves. Because of it, music in its many forms has helped us through our darkest hours. And those who have become our allies have been equally inspired by the soundtrack of our lives, their lives. I recently asked my LGBTQ friends and allies around the world about which songs and recording artists have defined their relationship to the LGBTQ experience. Fabrice from Trinidad and Tobago responded, “’I Am What I Am’ by Shirley Bassey,” because it reminds him, as he explained, “that I do not need to apologize or be ashamed for being me.” Richie from Florida added, “After I came out—a long time ago—‘La Cage Aux Folles’ was playing on Broadway. When ‘I Am What I Am’ came on, it resonated with the path I had taken to get to where I was. Of course I was more tastefully dressed then the cast but that is another story!” Timo from Finland voted for ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen” for reasons that “should be quite obvious when you consider the lyrics,” not to mention the title! Laura from Palm Springs was particularly moved by the music video for Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” explaining, “It wasn’t necessary for me to be more accepting, but I really enjoyed how ‘matter of fact’ it was about acceptance.” A publisher in Thailand responded, “It has to be Sir Elton. After he came out, his career suffered in the U.S. but he has gone on to be an everimproving musician, has raised millions for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and has led the way with his marriage to David Furnish. His courage is an inspiration.” Steve from across the pond likes Blur’s “Boys and Girls” which he first heard in Penang in 1994, citing the lyrics, “Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls, who do boys like they’re girls, who do girls like they’re boys, always should be someone you really love.” “Somehow it stuck in my head

18 | jumponmarkslist.com

and resurfaced years later when I started shagging Lady Boys, though apparently it has nothing to do with them,” said Steve. My college roommate (it was the summer of 1980 at Northern Arizona University) Edward, who now lives in L.A., cited Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy,” explaining, “In a small, West Texas town, it was almost impossible to grow up being myself. To come out being gay would have been almost a death sentence. Well, not quite that drastic, but I definitely would have been bullied at school.” My gal pal Karen in Sante Fe—who I met in the 1980’s in L.A., named the most obvious choice in today’s musical and cultural landscape explaining, “Being LBTG-adjacent, I would have to say Lady Gaga is my icon of people’s freedom to be who they are, and to love who they love. I have never understood why sexual orientation was such a big deal. My Lord, who cares? Love is love is love and we all are what we are.” Mark in Malaysia selected “Greatest Love of All” as made famous by Whitney Houston, proclaiming, “In the search for love and acceptance in a world that still chooses to stigmatize and discriminate against LGBT, the greatest thing we can do is love ourselves and let that love continue to flow throughout our lives.” “I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows. If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe. No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity, because the greatest love of all is happening to me…” Yes, “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all!” Follow Nicholas at www.Facebook.com/ SnowbizNow, www.Twitter.com/SnowbizNow, and at www.SnowbizNow.com.

fashion&style Style Concierge Highlights The Fashion Trends For Fall/Winter 2011 Menswear By Eric Christian

o

The fall and winter season is just around the corner. While many of us in Florida and warmer sections of the country are still enjoying swimsuits, the beach and the sun, those in cooler climes are contemplating and beginning to prepare their wardrobes for the seasons ahead. Sooner or later, the temperature will drop, and with it will come heavier clothing needs. Fortunately, fall and winter fashions are available for purchase in stores now. So what better time for the Style Concierge to tell you the fall/winter trends for men this season? VELVET HITS THE RUNWAYS Velvet has been around for quite some time now. It’s considered very classic and timeless if worn correctly. Velvet should never be worn over velvet but with denim, trousers, and khakis. It’s now come back as a “new” trend for the fall. It’s most commonly seen in burgundy, black, navy blue, and chocolate. It’s seen this season in runway shows from many designers including Lanvin, Gucci, Dsquared2, Dolce & Gabbana, and Etro. MILITARY INFLUENCE IS BACK AGAIN! For those of you who don’t like it, guess what? Seems as if it’s here to stay! Channel your inner sergeant when you stock

your fall and winter wardrobe this year--from army green, mocha, and brown to waist and doublebreasted trench coats that flatter the body and hide any embarrassing flaws during the cold winter months. Designers such as Alexander McQueen, Neil Barrett, Versace,and Burberry Prorsum continue to keep this trend alive this fall/winter 2011/2012 season.

Ralph Lauren Purple Label leather jacket with shearling collar $4,695 www.mrporter.com IT’S ALL ABOUT SHEARLING According to Women’s Wear Daily, the outerwear trend for fall/winter 2011 is shearling. This season, many designers such as Burberry Prorsum, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Rick Owens, Balmain, and Boss Black created their key jackets, coats, and blazers using this material that has become popular again. I am certainly excited this fall/ winter season to see what everyone will be wearing. Any of these styles can be found in all major department stores. For those of you that are on a budget, select look-alike styles at stores like Zara, Gap, Banana Republic, Top Shop, and H&M stores.

Celebrity Silhouette Sets Sail Part 1: Cruise Rapture

Last month I ventured to the Holy Land on the sophomore voyage of the new Celebrity Silhouette (celebritycruises. com) cruise ship. Over 3000 party-hungry men (and 17 brave women) had christened the ship two weeks prior on its maiden voyage from Italy to Israel and back, in association with Atlantis events. Though I chose to set sail on one of the regularly scheduled itineraries rather than indulging in the Atlantis hype, I found the Celebrity Silhouette exceptionally gay friendly, superbly service-oriented, and sensationally fun. I’m no stranger to cruising but this was my first Celebrity cruise (I am a Carnival and Princess regular). Immediately, I was blown away by the style and sophistication of the ship. Each of the common rooms impressed me more than the next. The ship has a youthful, whimsical and super stylish feel, with sexy interiors highly reminiscent of my favorite “W” hotels. The first days of the cruise were spent at sea. “Sea Days” tend to be my favorite days on any cruise, allowing me to relax completely without creating minute-to-

o

minute itineraries for thoroughly exploring a new city or island in just a few hours. Sea days were a time to get to know the ship inside and out. My balcony stateroom was spacious and modern, including an extra large bathroom, and a priceless view as we sailed passed Sicily and the Greek Islands. A lover of cocktails, I found the Martini Bar & Crush my favorite space on the ship (and the Raspberry Lemonade Martini arguably my favorite drink in the world)! Feeding off a 28-degree concept of deep glacial whites and blues with its Philippe Stark-style mega chairs and sleek chaise lounges, the ovalshaped bar comfortably seats a few dozen, sporting a counter made of solid ice. The Hideaway, two floors above, functions as an eclectic coffee and chill-out lounge area, where relaxation and good conversation unfolds over avante-garde seating areas resembling bird cages and nests. The world-class Aqua spa is flanked by the most expansive, state-of-the art fullscale gymnasium I have ever seen on the high seas! Quasar, the ship’s main nightclub across from the shopping arcade (which includes Michael Kors and other retail shops)


is a pimped out palladium that puts South Beach’s most popular trendsetters to shame! Besides the constant eating orgies in the regular dining rooms and all-youcan eat buffets, the ship boasts ten--yes ten---specialty-dining restaurants on board, including the interactive Lawn Club Grill (think: upscale BBQ on the top deck where a Celebrity Chef helps grill your selections and you make your own flatbreads) and traditional fine dining at Celebrity’s most renowned restaurant, Murano. Indeed, my sea days on the Celebrity Silhouette were long and lazy. I’d sleep in, order breakfast on my balcony and then head to the quiet Solstice deck on level 15 from some intense summer sunbathing. I caught up on my favorite magazines in the Library lounge and participated in a workshop or two that peaked my interest– like the Riedel Wine Workshop, which demonstrates how the shape and quality of a wine glass affects taste and smell of various wines and the iMovie workshop, so I could finally learn to use this useful application on my Mac! Lots of eye candy at the gym meant long hours of cardio and pumping iron to work off the colossal portions I had been consuming. I met some great people – both gay and straightmy first nights at the casino and at the “Friends of Dorothy” meeting, a group that proved to be tons of fun throughout the sailing. Throw some casino time in, lots of drinking, even more eating, late night dancing and some special events with the Captain – I probably would have been more than content with 12 “sea days!” But alas, Greece, Italy and Israel were calling; and our ports of call (including Rome, Santorini, and Haifa), were not to be missed…… To be continued next week with, Celebrity Silhouette Sets Sail, Part II: Ports of Call View more travel tips: AmazingGayTravel.com jumponmarkslist.com

If You Could Turn Back Time! Well, you can’t really, but you can take some measures to stall it a little. Face the facts. We are living in very stressful times. Worrying about your job and this crappy economy, not getting enough sleep, poor nutritional habits, etc. are just a few of the factors that speed up the aging process in one hell of a hurry. You can use botox, collagen and a top notch plastic surgeon to fight off the ravages of Father Time, but you may just go broke in the process. Result: more damn stress! Why not let Mark Magazine offer a few cost free suggestions this week on how to eliminate some of your stress and the wrinkles that come with it! Remember when your mother told you to stop scowling or your face would freeze that way? Well, your old lady had a point. Every time you cop a facial expression, tiny creases form underneath the surface of your skin; the more you do the expression, the deeper the creases. As you age and your skin loses moisture and elasticity, these lines turn into permanent deep grooves. Hint: so that you won’t end up looking like one of the apple trees in the “Wizard of Oz,” try to keep your eyes, eyebrows and forehead relaxed. Also, try sleeping on your back and avoid sleeping on your side with your face scrunched up in the pillow. Yes, more time on your back will keep you looking younger! And don’t forget the importance of moisturizing your skin at night and in the morning before you go to work. Yo-yo or crash diets are a “no-no”! While it’s tempting to starve yourself or try a new gimmick to shed fat fast, such strategies can wreak havoc with your heart, cause bagging, sagging skin, and make you fatter in the long run. Eat healthy and exercise regularly starting today! That waist and butt didn’t blimp out overnight, so it only makes sense that you can’t tone up and trim down and acquire a gorgeous body over night. Diet wisely by losing only 1-3 pounds per week and always combine a sound nutritional plan with a program of wise, consistent exercise. Stop smoking and eating so many sweets. Both of these vices can cause wrinkles by speeding up the degradation of elastin and collagen, both crucial skin proteins. In addition, cigarette smoking can dry out your skin and give you bad breath and yellow teeth. Lovely! Try eating more fruit instead of cupcakes and brownies. Try replacing cigarettes with more sex. Great cardio! Life is a bitch and then you die – and stress is here to stay. But when stress makes you feel out of control, certain catabolic hormones, like cortisol, adrenaline and neurodrenaline, rage wildly in your body speeding up the aging process. Try deep-

breathing activities like yoga and meditation—both can be done anywhere. Try listening to classical music. A little Mozart can make you calmer and smarter, too. Masturbation is also a great stress releaser, but not recommended at your job. A great tan is sexy. But years of baking and broiling can also cause skin to become dry, splotchy and wrinkled. To prevent these casualties and worse, use a sunscreen, a minimum of SPF-15 daily and your skin will retain its moisture and absorb the sun’s cancer fighting and bone building Vitamin D. Here’s to youth, beauty, joy and happiness. Remember, life is too short to be stressed and miserable.

Thinking about selling?

Here is what two of our clients had to say about their experience: “I carefully interviewed three realtors and all of them had strong opinions. Rick Gibson was the only one who did not focus on the negatives but rather on the positive features of the home, and how he could market them to the right buyer. The price he recommended was far different than the other two and I am grateful to Rick and his team for not only getting that price and recommending I turn down other offers, but for making the process a pleasure. I recommend him and his team without hesitation.� Pat Sheldon, 2011
