A Note from our Award winning Editor...

Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us! Lifestyle magazine is 5 years old this issue. Sixty months of producing a glossy magazine for the region without skipping any issues. Where others have tried, we have succeeded. It is down to having a solid vision, belief in yourself and a dependable team to deliver what we promise. It has not been easy, and there have been tears but as I keep telling my colleagues, if it was easy, everyone would do it.

To celebrate our achievement in association with Haydock Park Racecourse, we are holding a party at Bierkeller in May, our good friends who are providing a full carvery roast buffet and free arrival drink for all guests. Tickets are just £5 so please go to: www.eventbrite.com/edit?eid=5702420092 !"#$%&'#())#*+,#-.-/&"0#%&#1,*2%"-"#&*#3-#(#4,-(&#/%4'&#5))-6#$%&'# fantastic entertainment. !1,%)#%"#(#$*/6-,7+)#2*/&'0#&'-#6(8"#(,-#)*/4-,#5))-6#$%&'#&'-# promise of sunnier times to come (we hope). To celebrate the season we have some fantastic fashion pages. And now is no better time than to launch Liverpool Fashion Week 2013.Each year just gets bigger and better and this year is no exception.

We have teamed up with Asia Europe Models and are planning a huge Asian fusion night. In addition FashionOne TV (,-#9*2%/4#+1#&*#5)2#&'-#"'*$"#(/6#%&#$%))#3-#3,*(69("&#(9,*""# freesat channels across the uk and across cable channels in 120 countries. We are extremely proud to represent Liverpool across a global fashion network and this provides an excellent opportunity for designers and models to showcase themselves to the rest of the world.

This issue sees our usual array of news and events happening throughout the region. I am especially delighted to catch up with my good friend Pete Price who met Justin Bieber on his recent UK visit. His story is fascinating and we have the exclusive.

There is so much talent around in the city at the moment and we are trying to give them all a platform within Lifestyle magazine. Read more inside.

As we celebrate the latest edition to our family with our latest opening in St Johns shopping centre we would like to thank all our loyal customers from the past and welcome any new customers in the future. We also want to announce our forthcoming website going live very soon, “like” us on facebook to be kept up to date with our launch date.

VENTS NEWS AND E MYSTERY SHOPPERS LOVE LUNCH IN LIVERPOOL Food lovers have given Liverpool city centre’s lunchtime offer a massive thumbs up according to a major mystery shop survey.

Satisfaction levels have reached an all time high according to the survey, commissioned

by City Central BID, in which 30 food outlets scored a whopping 89% approval rating ­ compared to 77% when the survey last took place at the end of 2011.

Of those assessed this January (/6#:-3,+(,80#5.-#3+"%/-""-"# scored top marks (Bella Italia on Ranelagh Street, Buffalo Jacks in Queen Square, Café Rouge and Carluccio’s in Metquarter and Soul Café in Bold Street) compared to none in the last survey.

Equally, just three eateries scored below 80% and none below 72% ­ unlike last time when 11 had scores below that rating.

The bars, cafes and restaurants were judged across seven categories from branch appearance to product placement and sales technique.

All 30 scored more than 90% in four sections ­ arrival and greeting, staff image, quality of drinks & food and state of environment & toilets.

Only in sales did the business score below par – at an average 68%.

This trend was also borne out in a wider survey of the city centre’s retail sector in which a further 100 shops were assessed.

In this section customers gave Liverpool’s shops a 81% overall rating ­ almost equal to the 82% rating in 2011.

But there was a huge rise in those achieving a perfect 100% ­ 20 in all (one in four of these 20 also achieved 100% last time) – and a record 7 out of 10 shops achieving an 80% or better rating.

Their 1984 debut single Relax was famously boycotted

by Radio One DJ Mike Read for being too explicit. The track became one of the biggest­selling UK singles of all time.

by Brian Nash the bands bass player. He recreates the meteoric rise of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, from the struggling days of obscurity, to a record­breaking run

by Joy Lewis of chart hits around the world.

O

ur favourite outspoken DJ and award winning personality Pete Price said, "These idiots on twitter like to have a go, they call me Mr name dropper, but the fact is that I know a lot of people. They are just looking for any excuse to slag me off. When they tweeted about Justine Bieber I thought long and hard and thought, 'who are these arseholes?' and then said to myself, 'actually I am going to get a photo of me with the hottest guy of the planet'.

Pete already had secured tickets to the concert but was not prepared for what was to happen next. He said, "It was pandamodium, I mean complete chaos.

There were 3000 people who had slept out all night and blankets were strewn across the road, they had just left them. This was by far the craziest thing I have ever seen, far worse than the Beatles era, so much bigger.

Anyway I was with my friends and we had tickets but not for meet and greet. But these Burley security staff herded us into queues. For two hours we stood in a queue and then it started to move. My friend had a pass and gave it to me to hold along with his coat.

As we were moving along the line my friends went through to their seating, I said I would join them and in a split second I jumped into the meet and greet queue even though I didn't have a wrist band! I went through four sets of security and waited my turn for my picture with Justin. No one asked me for any ID. It was like a conveyor belt of people, it was "right stand there, snap picture and leave." Anyway I stood and got my picture taken with him. He didn't say anything, there wasn't time and in fact he seemed a bit bewildered by the whole scenario to be honest. Th funny thing was that there was a huge table of presents his fans had bought him and mountains of cakes people had made him.

The security told us that Justin would get to see them all, but he didn't because I ate one of the cakes... I was starving after queuing for over two hours!"

Y!/8$(8# A# 5/())8# 9(+4'&# +1# $%&'# 28# 7,%-/6"# (/6# &'-8#

asked me where I had gone. I told them I went off to see Justin Bieber, they couldn't believe it!" So who is next for Pete to papped with? The Pope of course!

Talking seriously with Pete he is appalled by the dangers of twitter and social media especially when it gets out of hand. He says, "It is the modern form of bulling and I am sick of it. It is disgraceful that someone can hide behind an email address, not be known to you and send you the most disgusting messages. But it is them who are the cowards. I can deal with it because I am an old man, what does concern me is the young people, they can't. Once I was on the radio and someone tweeted to get me off the air and block the phones. A load of sheep then followed this person, and they all blocked the phones. My bosses in London were asking what was going on, so I posted my actual phone number on twitter and said if anyone had a problem with me to call me. Out of 50,000 people how many do you think actually did ­ 3. It just goes to show you these people are cowards. It makes me so cross but what I would advise people is that this is a hate crime so go to the police and thank god you can block them."

On a lighter note Pete has endless tales to tell of celebrities he has met. "These people are legends, real stars, not people who have been on the telly for 5 minutes. Proper legends like Liz Taylor, Bob Monkhouse, Cilla Black. I would love to meet Barbara Streisand again, the last time I met her was outside a restaurant in Hollywood, I became all tongue tied and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak. I would actually like to talk to her properly!

By Make­up Artist Shiovonne Grant

ith summer fast approaching it’s time to refresh your make-up bag with a few products essential for the warmer weather. In my opinion it’s best to opt for makeup that feels light and looks natural. Any product too thick or heavily applied is more likely to feel uncomfortable and sweat off in the heat. So I’ve put together my top 3 summer make-up essentials to show you that using just a few products can help you to get that fresh summer look.

Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF15 This award winning moisturizer provides everything your skin will need in the summer to get that ‘no make­up’ look. It gives an instant hydrating boost and hides any imperfections while still leaving your coverage looking natural. It feels refreshingly light and contains SPF15 protection which is essential in the sunny weather.

Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara We all love to having long full lashes but wearing false ones when hot isn’t always a good idea. It 9(/##3-##6%759+)&##5/6%/4##(##2("9(,(##$'%9'##4%.-"##&'-## same impressive look but lancome Hypnose Drama gives fuller looking lashes in one step. This popular mascara is quite expensive (£22 ) but as you only need to apply a few strokes each day, it will last longer. The super­sized brush creates extreme volume and length which really enhances your lashes. It is also also available to purchase in waterproof, this is the perfect product to buy if you are going on holiday and like to put on mascara for going to the beach or relaxing around the pool.

Barry M Lip Gloss Wands !"##)%1"&%9E##9(/##3-##W+%&-##6,8%/4##A##5/6## that glosses and balms are a better option in the summer. Barry M is a favourite brand of mine, it doesn’t break the bank and the lip gloss wands are a particular favourite.

They aren’t as sticky as most glosses I have tried and don’t dry out your lips. There is a wide range of shades available so if you prefer something nude and under stated or bright and colourful you’re sure &*##5/6##*/-##&'(&##"+%&"##8*+@ Whether you choose to wear these 3 products individually or together they will help to give you a subtle make­up look that will compliment your summer glow.

The focus of the festival, which has been organised to promote the city’s historic St George’s Quarter, will be around St George’s Hall and St John’s Gardens which will also host a fun fair and various themed stalls including a hog­roast.

Dragon inspired Superlambananas will take up residence in Queen Square with activities also planned for Williamson Square at the Liverpool Bandstand including performances by the community choir of the Royal Court.

There will be a host of indoor fun too at the World Museum, Walker Art Gallery and St George’s Hall ranging from medieval arts workshops and story­telling to costume dressing and a knight’s trail.

Children are being invited to attend the FREE event in fancy dress on the theme of Knights, Dragons and Princesses with prizes for under­10s and under­5s.

Those attending in fancy dress will also be able to enjoy discounts at restaurants in Queen Square and discounted car­parking at Queen Square Car Park.

Liverpool’s inaugural St George’s Day Festival will begin at 11am when Mike The Knight will meet a very special dragon on St George’s 16 LIFESTYLE

Plateau. The event is scheduled to end at 5pm.

The celebration marks a momentous week for Liverpool with the city celebrating its inaugural Literary Festival – In Other Words – on April 23rd to mark the re­ opening of Central Library on May 17, which sits in the heart of St George’s Quarter.

A new website will promote the quarter and further events are being planned to promote its offer.

GIRLS ALOUD say farewell to their fans on their last night of their tour !"#$%#&'())&)#*&+,-./&0$#1&2-/3(/"#$4-5

E

xcitement rose in the arena long before the girls appeared on stage. X Factor singer Amelia Lily was their supporting act and gave a belting rendition of her hit "You Give Joy" ahead of the release of her debut album next month. Wearing a crystal encrusted black dress embelished with feathers, she seemed at ease on the stage. It appeared that her mentoring from Kelly Rowland had paid off.

A short interval and Girls Aloud bounced onto stage in an explosion of glitter and sequins opening the show with The Sound of the Underground. They wore black bodices with sequins and chains with back sequin ankle boots. "Liverpool is very special to all of us and we thank youâ&#x20AC;?.

The 21­song set included all their favourite hits; On The Metro, Can't Speak French, Jump, something Nw and The Promise. When they sang there ballard "Beautiful 'Caus you Love me", they asked the audience to put the lights on their phone and the whole stadium lit up spectacularly, it was a lovely sight.

No one seemed to mind several off key notes as the audience poured love onto their pop princess heroines with cheers throughout their performances. Their energy on the stage was a delight to watch and their special friendship and fondness for each other was evident to see. What made the night different from other concerts I have been to is that the girls really tried hard to engage with the audience. They bent down throughout the evening to touch their fans, blew kisses to their fans and constantly thanked them for their support over the last ten years. It was endearing to see that they haven't forgotten who helped them in their rise to success.

It’s been 100 years since the floral pavilion theatre first opened its doors.

O

n 3rd May 1913, the new Victoria Gardens were opened by the Earl of Derby. The new gardens replaced an ageing row of seaside guest houses with a scandalous reputation, and included an open­ air pavilion and bandstand. The entertainment element of the new development was seen as a key attraction in bringing back visitors to New Brighton, even then.

Following these improvements, the BBC began broadcasting the popular show, New Brighton Follies, which became famous all over the country and even had its own comic strip in the News Of The World.

Over the years, the Pavilion became the home of numerous popular summer season programmes such as Summer Showtime and the long­running Melody Inn Revue. It was in 1966 and 1965 that the glass was taken out and replaced by metal sheeting and new scenery wings and dressing rooms were added alongside heating and lighting facilities.

is the latest in laser lipolysis, offering you a way to achieve inch loss and body contouring with no pain, no needles and no down time.

The i-lipo uses a low level of visible red laser light to stimulate the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural processes that empty the stored fat contents inside fat cells.

The laser light absorbs into individual fat cells in the treatment area, temporarily opening pores in the cell walls through which the cell contents can escape. This does not affect the neighbouring structure such as skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves. The contents of the cells are collected by the lymphatic system and transported to the areas of the body where they can be metabolised into energy during exercise. This metabolism of the contents permanently removes them from the body leaving smaller fat cells and giving you inch loss.

Laserlift anti-aging Face Lift The new anti-aging hyaluronic acid treatment with cold laser technology with immediate visible results and long term benefits. Laserlift combines the bio-stimulation technology with the aesthetic benefits of hyaluronic acid. This combination of techniques provides noticeable improvement in skin tone after just one treatment. A course of treatments can result in amazing long term aesthetic improvement.

The treatment is non-invasive and pain free.

Nikki Graham and Liam Kinney chat to Lifestyle...

We are an events and entertainment company called ‘Kindy&Cindy’ and we specialise in glamorizing the club life and entertainment industry aswell as catering for fashionshows, corporate events celebrations and charitable events. We have been providing Liverpool, Wirral and Chester with entertainment from 4/5(0<%53).'"#%$/%#&/2*("+#%3)5% !"'%6"'3$&'"#% #().'% September 2012.

What we offer: We have a range of high class 1,*7-""%*/()# "&%)&# $()E-,"0# 5,-# breathers, Showgirls/dancers plus many more multi­skilled acts such as Ariel artists and angle grinding performers. We also offer a variety of children’s entertainment, including sweet carts and character acts.

Not forgetting Make­up artists and beauticians, from me ‘Nikki Gdollz’ make­up and VC perfections pretty white smile teeth whitening and beauty.

Why we set it up: We set up the ‘Kindy&Cindy’ events company because with the knowledge between us, from my modelling and fashion career and my experience of the make­up industry to Liam’s performing arts background, it just felt right to put something together what we both love. We work together combining our different ideas and inspirations to always produce something new and fresh with an unexpected twist on the themed nights.

Where we get our ideas: We are inspired by the whole mardi­gras and carnival scene, we )*.-#'*$#4)(2*,*+"#&'-%,#*+&5&"#(,-# with the massive head dresses and sparkly costumes. We also love the classic Moulin Rouge and Vegas style, anything that’s really over the top and exaggerated really! Most of our headdresses and costumes are hand made by ourselves, so we know that nobody else will have our designs.

What we cater for: We cater for seasonal occasions and a variety of events from weddings to fashion shows, or corporate events and children’s parties. We do lots of charity based work and fashion related such as beauty pageants etc.

We can provide: D% Showgirls D% Stilt walkers D% Hostesses D% Fire breathers D% Multi skilled acts D% Our DJ franny Donovan D% Dancers D% plus much more What event has been your favourite?

Liverpool Fashion week was amazing for us I always enjoy modelling at fashion week anyway ,but to be on the other side of things and interact with the croud was brilliant. Our favourite event to date was the Liverpool Lifestyle Awards as we are residency for Monique’s entertainment and they won the award for a second time for Club of the year. This incidentally is were we are holding our massive launch night with an Alice in Wonderland round the bend theme.

Do you get nervous before a show?

Before we do meet and greet at an -.-/&#$-#()$(8"#4-&#&'-#3+&&-,?%-"0# but we love to meet new people and mingle with the clients and guests.

How do you cope with competition?

We raise the bar each time on our performances and costumes,

most of our wardrobe is hand made or one off pieces from various designers. We like to be unique and put events together that haven’t been done before or put a twist on things. We don’t see others as competition as we like to outsource and help other companies in events providing them with dancers or hostesses etc.

Where do you look for new ideas?

We look for new ideas and inspiration from various fashion shows and magazines like Vogue an Victoria’s secret fashion shows. A lot of our ideas are American Las Vegas styles.

What does the rest of the year hold?

Since Liverpool Fashion Week 2012 our business and client base has really expanded, so we are continuing with the events and entertainment in Liverpool, Chester and Wirral. We are in talks with clients in Marbella and Ibiza so we are hoping to go over when the summer kicks in with something fresh that they haven’t seen yet over there.

NO EXCUSES! @kirsty_combat

It’s that time of year again where we’ve all given up on our new years resolutions, we’re back to our normal eating habits and can’t be bothered exercising, can’t afford to join the gym… I’ve heard all the excuses time and time again.

But, the sun might sneak its way back to Britain (let’s not hold our breath) and it will get us thinking about the summer fashions. Tiny shorts, legs out. Cropped tops, tummy’s out. Vests, arms on show after they’ve all been hidden away under your $**))8#J+21-,"#(/6#J-(/"#())#$%/&-,@#a-&K"#2(E-#cjQf#&'-#8-(,#$-#5/())8#4-&#&'(&# beach body we’ve always dreamed of NO EXCUSES!

JAMES JOHN TURNER James John Turner, a singer­ songwriter, was born and bred in Liverpool. The city's diverse musical melting pot $("# (# '-(68# %/?+-/9-# */# James, who started playing guitar and singing from a ridiculously young age and unbelievably played gigs at the Liverpool Cavern (the Junior Cavern sessions) from the tender age of 9.

After leaving school, James began working at Liverpool docks, but he continued to throw himself into his music, and played most evenings and weekends in the city.

After quitting his day job James fronted several different line­ups including Lies all Lies, playing a rock'n'roll­meets­ new­wave guitar style music; hanging around in the legendary Eric’s Club. Later he fronted The Electric Morning and released records on the Liverpool indie label Probe Records. But not wanting to just be a local band, the Electric Morning toured with American bands such as the Rain Parade, True West, and The Long Riders, playing all around the UK and Europe. Both John Peel and Andy Kershaw played the Electric Morning records enthusiastically. James quickly attracted the interest of the UK music media. Kev Sampson in Melody Maker said "it's the singer that makes this lot special, with a manic stage presence and a huge Bono style voice". After paying his dues on the road James decided to open a studio, which turned out to be the renowned Liverpool Hard City Studios. It was in Hard City that James recorded his debut solo album: The Believer that was 5/%"'-6# (/6# 2("&-,-6# &'-# ()3+2# %/# &'-# $*,)6# 7(2*+"# Abbey Road Studios.

The Believer was released to massively positive critical acclaim, and singles released from the album garnered extensive national and European radio playlisting. Such was the interest generated that the album was selected

by Virgin/BPI for their Best of British US Campaign, which distributed The Believer in Virgin shops throughout North America. James was the only male singer/songwriter selected for this campaign, and the response was immense with all copies selling out.

“James J Turner is a superb talent” Classic Rock Society Magazine “How Could We Be Wrong? is one of the best folk rock records of the year, probably the very best. A must listen release”.

Award success for Belvoir’s Liverpool offices Belvoir Lettings are incredibly proud to announce that their Liverpool offices have won the award for the Best Lettings Agent 2012 at the Liverpool Lifestyle Awards.

The Liverpool Lifestyle Awards are an annual event held in celebration of Liverpool’s local businesses and took place at the prestigious Crowne Plaza Hotel on the 23rd February.

“It’s absolutely fantastic that Belvoir’s Liverpool offices have won this award,” says the proprietor of the Belvoir Liverpool West Derby office, Adam Rastall. “It’s great to be recognised for the hard work that we do, especially when there’s such strong competition in the Liverpool area.

“The awards are voted for online by the public so winning is basically an endorsement from our customers. I’m delighted!”

Proprietor of Belvoir Liverpool South Martin Unsworth agrees.

“I’m very pleased that we’ve won the award in recognition of the hard work that we do here in Liverpool,” he says.

“The Belvoir brand has grown considerably in the city over the last couple of years and I think we won because of the strength of the brand and our good customer service. Both landlords and tenants are recommending us and we’re getting a lot of business through word-of-mouth.”

Paul Rice proprietor of Belvoir Liverpool Central adds, “It is a privilege to win such an award – it will have a positive impact on all Belvoir’s Liverpool offices, plus it will help reinforce our good reputation throughout the area.

“I attended the ceremony and it was a fantastic evening, which was very well organised. I was very impressed with it and, of course, extremely proud when Belvoir won.”

Belvoir’s CEO Dorian Gonsalves says, “We are extremely proud of our Liverpool offices for winning this prestigious award. Good customer service is one of Belvoir’s three core principles and we sincerely feel this award is well-deserved recognition of their commitment to their landlords and tenants. Congratulations.”

! y a w a e k a T Ta l k s I n di a n

by Joy Lewis

Hardeep Singh Kohli would like to invite you to his brand new show, Indian Takeaway.

The country is obsessed with curry. That much we know. But how do Hardeep's home-cooked curries - the recipes inspired by his Mum and his Gran - compare to the local Indian Takeaways we love and adore?

At the beginning of each show Hardeep will order a takeaway live on stage for delivery to the theatre, having selected a local Indian takeaway from audience suggestions submitted via HardeepLive.com. He will then order an audience member’s favourite meal. Whilst waiting for the order to arrive Hardeep will cook his own food.

Two curries with side orders of delicious cooking tips and lip-smacking Comedy. What’s not to like?

You’ve been taking your live shows on the road and to Edinburgh for about three years ­ how did come up with the idea of combining cooking and comedy?

It came about because I’m not really that funny. Well I am funny but others are funnier. But I can cook, that I am good at. Because I don’t know anybody else who can cook as well as me and be a bit funny at the same time then I thought it would work. While I’m cooking to keep everybody entertained I tell stories, about my love of food, my years of being a waiter, and the culture clash of growing up as a Scottish Indian.

Curry is the British national dish, why do you think everybody here loves it so much?

It’s slightly addictive, I think that’s mainly it. British food is really great but Indian food is the exact opposite because it’s so spicy, and people always go with the opposite of the things that they know, don’t they?

Do you give the audience a taste?

Who normally wins, you or the delivery?

Mostly me! They wouldn’t dare choose otherwise – laughs. Okay so it’s not always me, a few times over the past three years it has sometimes been the takeaway!

Have you had any onstage cooking disaster yet?

Not yet no, crazy hey? Maybe because my audience watches me very closely and they are more than eager to point out if anything is going wrong!

Is there a particular dish you cook for your show or do you chop and change?

I change the dish every night, to keep it fresh for me, otherwise it would just get boring. One of my favourites is lamb curry in black pepper. Pepper provides a different sort of heat ­ it will make you sweat a bit, but it’s not mental. And because I’m North Indian, I always defer to bread rather than rice to accompany a curry.

What’s your favourite curry dish?

Easy, my mum's lamb curry is my favourite and it’s the best, although I've got to travel all the way to Glasgow to get it.

Sadly, mum hasn't set up a delivery service yet.

You have been doing this for three years, will you carry on or try something new?

Dunno, I’m an old guy now you know, I’ve been doing this for 25 years now. I might carry on with the radio presenting – I have the face for radio ­ or do more writing, who knows what the future will bring. That’s the joy of this life isn’t it? We have no idea what’s round the corner.

When are you bringing the show to Liverpool?

26th April at the Floral Pavilion Theatre on the Wirral, looking forward to it!
