Polo Partners Collingwood, a member of last year’s Coca-Cola team, which captured the Ylvisaker Memorial Cup at IPC. Collingwood also competed on the 2013 U.S. polo team in a tournament hosted by China’s Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club. PBI polo team member Facundo Obregon, rated at six goals, played in the 2012 U.S. Open finals with Lechuza Caracas and has taken the field with top-ranked teams in the United States and Argentina. Rounding out the foursome is team captain Jared Zenni, a two-goaler who will head to college after the 2014 season. Both from polo-playing families, Zenni and Laprida played together in 2013 on the Villa del Lago team, winning the prestigious Iglehart Cup at IPC. Every weekend our team is in play, we at PBI will, of course, be tweeting, pinning and checking in from the polo fields. Follow along with the hashtag #PBIPolo.

From the Editor
January, the beginning of the new year, seems like the perfect time to celebrate power in all its forms. This month marks the beginning of high-goal polo and equestrian season, and therefore the arrival of a number of highprofile athletes to our area (and, if I can gush a little here, the debut of our own polo team). The circuit of top art and automotive shows begins this month as well. And let us not forget all the power-socializing at countless balls and cocktail parties. In our Power Issue, we toast one of the most dynamic athletes of all time, golfer Greg Norman. Greg and his wife, Kiki, our cover subjects this month, may be among our community’s most notable residents, but they are so down-to-earth and welcoming, they immediately make strangers feel like friends. That genuine charm extends to their lifestyle, which Kiki defines as “barefoot elegance.” In “Island Vibe,” we take you inside the Normans’ home in Jupiter Island, which is a hub for casual entertaining among friends as well as a private retreat. Meet this power couple on page 66. In this issue, we also pay tribute to the men and women of ballet—and the photographer who captured their most glorious moments on stage. Steve Caras, himself a former dancer, has amassed a body of work of some 120,000 images—an oeuvre of remarkable historical and cultural relevance. Some of his most poignant are featured in the photo essay “The Joy of Dance,” on page 80. As we gear up for Super Bowl mania, we take a look at the big game’s fun side: tailgating. Three local designers and party planners give us their own spin on tailgating, Palm Beach-style, in “Touchdown” (page 102). If you enjoy entertaining on game day, check out these inspired vignettes for great decor and menu ideas. And what would a Power Issue be without a tribute to a floating masterpiece? We invite you inside Miss Budweiser, the historic fishing boat that once served the Anheuser-Busch family and has been restored by fifth-generation Busch heir Michael Flanigan. See how Michael and his wife, Cheri, have brought this phoenix back from the ashes in “Miss Budweiser,” page 76. Enjoy the issue!

Sriracha Deviled Eggs As the NFL playoffs reach super proportions—Super Bowl XLVIII is on February 2—we want to dish out a few recipes to make the tailgate a hit. When it comes to a simple yet delicious snack, nothing beats a deviled egg. Here, we’re serving a spicy number that’s sure to draw cheers. Ingredients 12 large free-range eggs 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise 2 tsps. Dijon mustard 4 tsps. Sriracha hot sauce 1 tsp. white wine vinegar Cilantro, finely chopped Kosher salt Fresh ground pepper Hard-boil the eggs; cool, peel and halve them. Carefully remove the yolks, reserving the whites for later. To mash the egg yolks, set a sieve over a bowl and gently push the yolks through with a fork. This will ensure an even, fluffy egg yolk paste. Mix in mayo, Sriracha sauce, mustard, vinegar and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste; combine until even and smooth. Add mixture into a piping bag and evenly pipe the yolk mixture into the reserved egg white halves. Top with a pinch of cilantro. For a fun take on party snacking, check out our guide to a DIY deviled egg bar at palm beachillustrated.com/deviledeggbar 22

Insider Webb's sketches, and other artifacts, will be on display at the Norton from January 16 to April 13.
In the 1960s and ’70s, as American culture shifted into a free-spirited, say-what-you-want movement, David Webb made a bold appearance through jewelry with his design ethos “the more barbaric, the better.” Inspired by nature and global destinations, Webb used modern art, art deco and pop art techniques to create statement pieces that shouted; his signature animal bangles were more aggressive than demure, and he used gold as a prime element, rather than an accent. Webb’s daring jewelry grabbed attention from society circles, including Hollywood, and has left a decades-long impression that still turns heads. On January 16, the Norton Museum of Art will present the first-ever retrospective of the late designer’s creations with “David Webb: Society’s Jeweler,” an 80-piece exhibition that includes jewelry and behindthe-scenes artifacts such as concept drawings and magazine clips. Turn the page for a Q&A with a local mother and daughter who have each been dedicated collectors of Webb’s fierce vintage treasures for more than 30 years. (561-832-5196, norton.org)

New Year’s Resolutions What will you resolve to do in 2014? Here’s what some of our readers said: Jay Cashmere, WPTV News Channel 5 anchor: “My New Year’s resolution for 2014 is to travel to a new location outside the U.S. My wife and I are adventure seekers, so finding a new destination to vacation always adds a level of excitement to the year.”

orothy Kohl stands over a magnificent array of jewels: a twoheaded dragon cuff, their mythical mouths biting each end of a diamond-studded clasp. An orange sorbet-hued, bubble gum-sized cocktail ring. An emerald green necklace of large geometric shapes accented with gold. Each was handcrafted by David Webb decades ago and underscores the reason Kohl has been collecting his bold jewels for the past 40 years. “I don’t think there is any designer with that level of sophistication whose work has stood the test of time more than David Webb,” she says. The sentiment echoes across the family tree, as Kohl’s daughter, Lori Gendelman, also began wearing David Webb pieces around the same time and has since amassed her own collection. The mother-daughter duo’s longtime affinity for the jewelry is one reason they are fitting chairpersons for the Norton Museum’s January 15 cocktail reception to kick off the “David Webb: Society’s Jeweler” exhibition (tickets cost $250, and proceeds benefit the Norton). They gave PBI a peek into their jewelry boxes and shared their admiration for the creator. (561-832-5196, norton.org/davidwebbpremiere) How long have you been collecting David Webb pieces? DK: I started collecting David Webb in the early 1970s and immediately developed an addiction. For any special occasion, like birthdays and anniversaries, I would always say to my husband that I would like to get a piece from David Webb. That’s how my collection grew. LG: The first David Webb pieces I purchased were in 1976 when I got married. I gave my husband a wedding gift of cufflinks and a stud set of tigers with emerald eyes. What’s a beloved piece in your collection? DK: A necklace, a cuff bracelet and earrings made of pearls, carved rubies and diamonds. It’s quite stunning and something I’ve never seen repeated. LG: I have a white enamel bracelet and earring set I enjoy and treasure. What excites you most about the exhibition? DK: It’s wonderful to be able show people through an exhibition jewelry of such quality and timelessness. ... During his relatively short life, Webb produced masses of jewelry. He must have stayed up every night designing. LG: I think David Webb is in a class of his own. His jewelry is so distinctive. I love his animal bracelets. Being such a fan, it will be such a treat to see all the different fabulous pieces in the exhibition.

Insider a shopper’s mecca for 25 years It’s hard to believe, but we’ve been shopping at The Gardens Mall since 1988. More than just a mall (and a beautiful one at that), it has become a gathering place for shopping, socializing, dining, attending charity events and ushering in the holidays with dazzling displays. In celebration of its silver anniversary, The Gardens Mall will host a series of chic events throughout the year, starting with a private reception January 25 to kick off its “25 Years of Giving” campaign, a charitable effort benefiting 25 nonprofits. It’s just one of the reasons we love The Gardens Mall—in fact, in wishing a happy anniversary, we’ve come up with 24 more. Our top five are below; see the full list at palmbeachillustrated.com/thegardensmall25
1. The spacious ground floor is put to good use for community events and exhibits throughout the year, including fashion shows, Art Arribada, Maltz Jupiter Theatre performances and displays, and the kickoff party for the Honda Classic. Every morning, a group of cardio lovers participates in the Mall Walker Program, burning calories by walking the 1.5 miles of upper and lower mall levels (and salivating at the window displays). The four sculptures in The Gardens Mall are more prominent than most visitors realize. For instance, Diana, made by Albert Wein in 1985 as a special commission for the mall, won the gold medal at the National Academy of Design’s annual exhibition. There are two Starbucks locations—one upstairs, one downstairs—so shoppers are never too far from a venti latte. Holidays at the mall are pure magic. Our favorite is the Christmas display, with glittering, tasteful decorations and the most jolly Santa in town.

Escape Tuscan Holiday
Revel and relax like a movie star at the five-star Castello di Casole. By ROBERT RAGAINI

With a whoosh of flame, our hot-air balloon rises above the rooftops of the Castello di Casole boutique resort and private residence club. Within the vast view of the rolling Tuscan landscape, the beauty of the golden-hued castle on the highest hilltop dominates the scene. Other elements we spy on our tour (arranged by the resort) that juxtapose old with new are the infinity pool in its garden setting, perfect rows of grapevines and farmhouses dotting the estate, where 200 years ago palmbeachillustrated.com | JANUARY 2014

the occupants tilled the soil. The farmhouses have been lavishly renovated and purchased by members of the Timber Resorts Residence Club, which owns the estate. The private homes are available for rentals. At the heart of the five-star Tuscan resort is the castle itself, with roots dating back to the year 998. Among the castle’s interesting inhabitants during its thousand-year history was aristocratic film director Luchino Visconti (1969’s The Damned and 1971’s Death in Venice), who owned what is now the main hotel villa of the castle compound in the 1960s. In those days, Visconti hosted a glittering array of Hollywood royalty, including Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor. When Colorado-based Timbers Resorts bought it in 2005, the intent, according to CEO David Burden, was “to bring a piece of history alive.” Although only one tower remains of the original tenth-century castle, old stones, terracotta tiles and reclaimed wood have been used in the recent restoration. The renovated 4,200-acre property opened last year with 41 suites in the manor house and 28 villas created from the farmhouse ruins. These are restored and finished in Tuscan style with luxurious modern amenities. “We combined the new with the old,” says 52

Escape Timbers Resorts Design Manager Alison Moore. “The bathrooms use a modern Italian approach with a lot of glass and mosaics. They’re really sensational.” The Castello is a boutique hotel with terraces, a pool, a fitness center and a spa inspired by the region’s fragrances and natural approach to diet and exercise. Among the most popular accommodations are in the Oliveto Suites, located in new buildings among lush grapevines and olive trees. Distinctly nonrustic, they are contemporary and stylish, but “guests feel the life of the farm, of the vineyards,” says Silvia Anichini, villa operations manager. Another vineyard element can be found under the vaulted ceilings of the old wine caves, which house the 5,400-square-foot Essere Spa. A favorite treatment is the Sacred Nature Ritual, 110 minutes of pure indulgence using olive oil infused with orange and cinnamon from the groves on the estate. When not in the mood for relaxing, guests find many activities to enjoy. They can take authentic cooking, art and language classes; attend outdoor concerts; tour vineyards; and bike, hike, walk and ride horseback on the extensive trail network. Sportsmen and women can hunt cinghiale, wild boar, with game wardens leading the hunt. If hunting truffles is more your style, in season locals and visitors follow guides under oaks and poplars in search of the elusive mushroom. For the cooks among us, kitchens in private villas are dream creations rendered in ochre and slate, vintage antiques, marble sinks and the latest pasta makers and chef’s ovens. Hand-painted Gianfranco Ballerini refrigerators can be stocked in advance by the staff. In Tuscany, of course, food is front and center. Sublime flavor is the mission within Chef Daniele Sera’s fine dining restaurant, Tosca. Under Murano glass chandeliers surrounded by restored stone walls, dine

Winery tours in the area are a must, as Tuscany is home to the Sangiovese grape, used in producing Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Super Tuscans. Bar Visconti, named for the movie director, is the spot for a convivial and sophisticated evening. The bar overlooks the dining terrace and pool area and features a wall fresco by a Tuscan artist. The atmosphere was designed to recall those lively parties Count Visconti was famous for hosting.

Argentine Siesta Lily Holt Dillon found her stride in Buenos Aires. Invited to visit the bustling metropolis by her goddaughter, Sophia Reynal, Dillon ended up staying for good. She launched a line of handcrafted shoes with showrooms in the Recoleta area of Buenos Aires (and on Worth Avenue) and also met husband Patrick in the city. now back in palm beach, the event planner and mother of two returns to Buenos Aires three to four times a year to visit friends and family and to produce events and weddings for Argentine clients.
PUERTO MADERO
Vibe: Bueno Aires is like living in Paris in the 1920s and 30s— lots of Old World charm with modern sophistication mixed in. The Argentines have very good taste in design.
Tourist faux pas: Buenos Aires is a city going through a political and economic crisis. Do not wear nice jewelry or carry a camera or nice handbag.
Fashion essentials for day and night: Blue jeans. Pair them with a blazer and any kind of high heel—the higher the better.
Best seat in the city: Poolside at the Faena in Puerto Madero. The hotel guests are movie stars to socialites, all international. It’s the best people-watching in town. (faenahotelanduniverse.com)
Guido
Best way to START THE DAY: Having coffee at Café Malba in the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires. (malba.org.ar) Local dish worth dreaming about: Panqueque con dulce de leche—crepes filled with dulce de leche that are grilled and served with vanilla ice cream. Hidden restaurant gem: Guido in Palermo makes fresh Italian food daily. There’s no menu, but servers continuously bring a different type of food and pasta until you cannot eat anymore. (guidorestaurant. com.ar) 56
Signature drink: For winter, Johnny Walker Black or Champagne. FAENA
Hometown good to sample and stockpile: Wine. All the wines in Argentina are fabulous! Mendoza is the province famous for wines, with Malbec the most famous type. Luigi Bosca is a favorite. (luigibosca.com)

A Ghostly Wraith Rolls-Royce’s dramatic new Wraith coupé combines head-spinning style with outrageous performance By Howard Walker Rolls-Royce does spooky exceedingly well. Just the whisper of the word “Phantom” can send an icy shiver down the backs of any prospective buyer. Then again, that frosty chill is more likely to come from the prospect of penning a check for the Phantom’s $400,000 asking price. The spooky nomenclature continues with the latest Ghost sedan. With so many hauntingly badged models, maybe there should have been a Stephen King edition along the way. And now comes the Wraith, Rolls-Royce’s exquisite new twodoor coupé, the most powerful and dynamic car in the company’s storied history. The Wraith name actually dates back to the late 1930s, when it was worn by a stately and upright Rolls with flowing fenders and huge standalone headlights. The definition of the word, according to Merriam-Webster, is “the exact likeness of a living person seen usually just before death as an apparition.” While this new Wraith is closely related to the Ghost sedan, its character is very different. Although you could never describe it as a sports car—at around 5,400 pounds, it’s too much of a porker for that— there’s an urgency and agility here that will surprise and delight the enthusiast driver. From a design perspective, it’s also much more than simply a twodoor version of the Ghost. There’s huge visual drama in the way the roof cascades down to the car’s rear bumper like an Aspen ski slope. 58
The car is imposing but not exactly beautiful. There’s something a little awkward and ungainly about the angle of the rear window and the thickness of the rear roof pillars. Adding two-tone paintwork—a $7,750 addition to the car’s $284,900 base price—only seems to heighten the awkwardness. There are no complaints when you ease open one of those massive rear-hinged coach doors (never call them suicide doors) and slide into the driver’s seat. The cabin of this new Wraith simply defines magnificence. Take the woodwork. It’s a type of Brazilian rosewood; Rolls-Royce calls it Canadel after the house in the South of France where founder Henry Royce used to spend his winters. The grain of the veneer is actually canted rearwards at 55 degrees, giving an arrow-like effect that runs through the cabin. You have to see it to believe it. Make no mistake: The Wraith is an accommodating four-seater with plenty of legroom, kneeroom and headroom for those in the back. Those huge doors also make getting into the individual rear seats surprisingly easy. Once there, you’ll count the minutes until sundown. That’s when the driver can switch on the Wraith’s unique Starlight headlining. This $13,000 option features a perforated leather roof panel illuminated by 1,340 fiber optic lights that twinkle like a starry night sky. Because each of the fiber optics is hand-woven, no two Starlight roofs twinkle the same. The folks at Rolls-Royce are happy to tell stories of owners requesting a galaxy of stars to precisely reflect the

night sky on the very day they were born. Chances are, however, drivers won’t have much time to gaze upwards at twinkling roofliners because they’ll be having way too much fun piloting this automotive powerhouse. Under that pool-table-long hood resides a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 that can unleash an insane 624 hp, which is 61 hp more than in the Ghost. Pedal to the floor, the Wraith is capable of scything from standstill to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and not quitting until the speedo is kissing the 155 mph mark. For a car that tips the scales at around 2.7 tons, the Wraith feels devastatingly quick. But unlike every previous Rolls-Royce, it boasts of its performance credentials with a deep, barrel-chested soundtrack like the one heard at NASCAR. Although it is definitely not a sports coupe— the car is too big and heavy for that—it does feel remarkably nimble and light-footed through the curves, thanks to its laser-precise steering and stiffer suspension. A Rolls-Royce that’s a blast to drive? Now that’s very spooky. «

A Beautiful Life Greg and Kiki Norman pose in the driveway of their Jupiter Island home with Greg's fun ride, a Mini Moke. The home, one of the oldest on Jupiter Island, was built at the turn of the twentieth century and was expanded over the years. Opposite page, top: The Golf Champion Trophy, a.k.a. Claret Jug, is reserved for the winner of The Open Championship, England's (and the world's) most important golf tournament. Greg has won The Open twice.

IslandVibe Legendary golfer Greg Norman and wife Kiki enjoy a lifestyle of “barefoot elegance” at their Jupiter Island home By Paige Bowers | Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz | Portrait (facing page) by Navid As a professional golfer, Greg Norman has always stood out. For starters, there’s his size: He’s six feet tall and muscular, too. Then there’s his distinctive Australian accent, great blond shock of hair and pearly white grin. Finally, there’s his dominance on the links: 331 consecutive weeks as the world’s number one golfer, 20 U.S. PGA Tour titles and two Open championships. That golf dominance didn’t stand out to Kirsten Kutner when she first met Norman at a tournament 20 years ago. After all, she says,

she had no interest in the sport. But her parents worked with a company that sponsored the event where Norman was playing, so she attended it with them. “I met Greg along with many other golfers,” she recalls. “He is the type of person who leaves an impression on anyone because he is so charismatic and magnetic. So I was impressed with him and my parents were, too. You can’t avoid being impressed by him.” Impressed or not, Kutner and Norman went their separate ways after that first encounter palmbeachillustrated.com | JANUARY 2014

Subtly Elegant Rooms in the original home, built in 1902 according to a mason's mark (above), were small, as evidenced by the living room (top). To celebrate its intimate scale, the Normans closed the east wall (where the mirror now sits), which opened up to the hallway. Lithographs of Henri Matisse's work flank the fireplace. The Nancy Corzine lamp, J. Robert Scott chinoiserie table and Ralph Lauren wallpaper lend a subtle glow.

and didn’t meet again for another 14 years. Both were in Cairo working on projects. He was building a golf course, as part of his golf and lifestyle business that had grown substantially since they first met. She was finishing the interior design of the Fairmont Towers hotel, which was only partially opened. “I stayed [at the Fairmont] overnight and bumped into Kirsten again,” Greg recalls. “And that was it.” They married three years ago and since then have merged their personal and professional lives in a way that is centered around their recently renovated home on Jupiter Island. “Greg’s phrase for the way we live is ‘barefoot elegance,’” says Kirsten, who is known as Kiki to her friends. “We spend most of our time at home and do all of our entertaining here. We enjoy having casual get-togethers and spend most of our time barefoot. There’s nothing pretentious about it. My two young children are running around screaming all the time, so it’s a lively house where there’s always something going on. Every day is different, and that’s part of being married to Greg.” The New England-style home first appealed to Greg in the mid-1980s when he grew tired of living in landlocked Orlando. He wanted to find a place to live on the water, in part to remind him of his childhood home (he grew up near Australia’s

Tables d'Haute Kiki likes setting a table that is fully decorated. "Every table is a mini interior design project," she says. For this dinner, she used Julisca plates, vintage Ralph Lauren Herringbone crystal and her collection of Victorian silver. The monogrammed silver goblets and cups are heirlooms from Greg's family. "I use them all the time," Kiki says. "They instantly make the table look elegant." The flowers, by Renny & Reed of Palm Beach, are beautiful assemblies of anemones, hydrangeas, roses and shaped boxwood. 70 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Great Barrier Reef) but also because he is a boating enthusiast. “Jack Nicklaus called me and told me about the house,” Greg says. “He said I needed to look at it. So I did and I bought it the same day.” The original home was built in 1902 and is situated on eight acres of property that stretches from the Intracoastal Waterway to the ocean. The home already had a wine cellar and a basement, but Greg redid the kitchen and added a full gym, putting greens, tennis courts, more living space and a movie theater. “It’s a compound that he doesn’t ever have to leave, and it gives Greg the privacy he really seeks,” Kiki says. “We’re very private, and our life is very intimate here.” The couple worked with Onshore Construction to update the home with a new foundation, shingles and wind-resistant windows and doors. The Normans were expecting a large group of guests at their home, so Onshore worked on an accelerated schedule. The company also collaborated with Kiki on the interior spaces for a coastal yet elegant feel.
066-NORMANS-0114.indd 71
“Kirsten was great to work with because she has excellent taste and feelings for the space,” says Onshore founder Dan Reedy. “With her design selections, it feels like the Normans are living in a perfect little jewel box. It’s a great look.” Kiki says she and Greg share the same spare, classic tastes, so it made her work inside the home easier. Because the home’s exterior is New England-influenced, she wanted the interiors to have a similar look. “We like things that have a sort of Ralph Lauren feel,” she says. “We’re not traditional and we’re not contemporary. We’re somewhere in between. We like things to look fresh, elegant and timeless. We don’t like clutter and we think little details—like just the right flower, candle or little object—make a big difference.” Greg, nicknamed the Great White Shark for both his aggressive style of play and history of swimming with the predators, now minds the details for his 20-year-old business, Great White Shark Enterprises, from a home office. The shark logo began in the 1980s, when Greg was palmbeachillustrated.com | JANUARY 2014

Hall of Fame The trophy hall (left) is a showcase of all of Greg's trophies (except his first Open Championship trophy, which he gave to his mother) since the 1970s. "His career is encapsulated in that hall," Kiki says. The cases, which Greg personally arranged, include hundreds of items, including two Claret Jugs, his first hole-in-one trophy and his first pro trophy (1976 West Lakes Classic).

endorsed by Reebok and collaborated with the company on a Greg Norman Collection of golf wear. “Reebok formulated the shark logo, and it got traction,” he says. “The Greg Norman Collection used to have the shark and Reebok [logos], but the company’s ultimate goal was to have the shark more prominent than Reebok and then ultimately just have the shark.” Reebok gave Greg the logo and licensed it from him, teaching him a lot about branding and marketing in the process. He says he used the strength of the logo to start his own company because he wanted to be more than a “pass-through entity.” “When you’re in an endorsement deal with a company, you’re paid as long as you wear their brand,” he says. “I wanted to build equity in my own brand, and so I started with businesses that were linked to the game of golf. Since then, I’ve gone off in tangents and looked at different businesses that weren’t attached to the sport.” His company has 17 different arms, dealing in everything from apparel to eyewear, golf course design to residential development, and premium beef to Australian wines. His two older children work for the family business, and Kiki is helping him extend his brand into interior design. “When you build a business, your fingers have to be in the pie all the time,” Greg says. “Now, I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve gotten quality people around me and given my family the opportunity to be in the business too. It’s allowed me to quietly step aside a bit and to be more of a chairman than a chief executive officer. The person whose example I love to follow is Ralph Lauren. If we can capture a small percentage of what he’s done, then I’ll be extremely happy.”

Party Central The grill house, adjacent to the pool, is Greg's favorite place to entertain. He can often be found behind the grill, cooking up Wagyu steaks and burgers for his guests. The open space, crafted of mahogany-stained pecky cypress and flagstone, is ideal for casual parties with good friends.

A Shore Thing During a particularly mean hurricane season, the Normans' beach house was almost destroyed. "The [cabana] next door was swept out to sea," Kiki says. "Greg was lucky." Because Jupiter Island homeowners cannot rebuild if they lose their foundation, Greg decided, at considerable expense, to raise the house onto pylons and build a seawall.
Resort Living The daybed (right) was designed by Kiki to match the grill house structure. Here, the couple spends time lounging, reading, napping or enjoying a sundowner. The resort-like pool (left) is decorated with platypus water fountains, a nod to Australia. Greg extended the pool to include a 15-foot-deep end and a 3-meter diving board. The landscaping was designed by Raymond Jungles of Miami.

Greg usually travels 35-40 weeks each year, but now that he’s older, he tries to restrict his travel to weekdays. “I hate to be away on weekends,” he says. “I don’t want my staff to be away from their families because I don’t want them to miss things with their kids like I once did. It kills you.” When he’s not on the road, he starts his days at 5:45 a.m. in his office, either spending his day in meetings or answering email and phone calls. Then he’ll spend two hours in the gym and hit some golf balls, mostly for fun. “I don’t enjoy practice and can’t compete the way I used to,” Greg explains. “I can still play well but not for 10 hours a day. I’ll go out with my friends and son at Royal Palm, Jupiter Country Club, Parkland, places like that. This year, I’ve maybe played eight rounds of golf total.”
066-NORMANS-0114.indd 75
When he does play, he has the luxury of golfing with some of the world’s most successful people. Right now, he’d love to play golf with both Presidents Bush, President Clinton, President Obama and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, so he could ask them what’s going on with foreign policy. Kiki is as busy as her husband, among her involvement at her children’s school and with Greg’s company, her own interior design projects—this year, she will work on the Palm House hotel in Palm Beach with HBA London, the interior design firm she has worked with for the past 14 years—and interest in Pilates and tennis. As someone who initially showed no interest in golf, she now admits she might take up the sport next year. One thing’s for certain: She won’t have to look far for a good instructor. « palmbeachillustrated.com | JANUARY 2014

BUDWEISER BOAT PHOTOGRAPHY BY DANIEL NEWCOMB
Anheuser-Busch heir Michael Flanigan reunites with the historic sport fishing boat that has been in his family for generations By Linda Marx
Cheri Flanigan was cooking in her northern California kitchen when her husband, Michael, walked in, shaking with excitement. Miss Budweiser was back. The lady of the hour was a historic family vessel since 1962, when Michael’s grandfather, August Gussie Busch Jr., purchased it from the late Kimberly-Clark Kleenex heir Jim Kimberly of Palm Beach. The boat was originally called The Blue Fox, but Michael’s grandfather renamed it to fit the family company it would serve, Anheuser-Busch. Michael, a fifth-generation AnheuserBusch heir, is a seasonal Palm Beacher who has fond memories of Miss Budweiser. As former Anheuser-Busch wholesalers, the Flanigans regularly took clients, friends and family fishing aboard the boat. They sold their business in 2004, and four years later 76

Far left: MMDesigns of Palm Beach created pillows, curtains and other accents using fabric from Perennials' Geez Louise collection. "The colors are about the sea, and the design is a beachside stripe," Mary Masri says.
Anheuser-Busch was sold to Belgian brewer InBev for $52 million. Since then, the Flanigans have lost contact with Miss Budweiser, and they missed her. “Gussie, my father, mother, uncle and many friends have enjoyed her,” Michael says. “She is the Ferrari of boats, a one-of-a-kind handbuilt masterpiece with simple and clean lines—very sexy, the epitome of a fishing boat. I had to have her.” Michael finalized the purchase of Miss Budweiser, who is docked at the Sailfish Marina on Singer Island, through a broker in early 2010. He spent the next two years rebuilding her with Mike Rybovich and Sons in West Palm Beach, the same esteemed boat-building family that created the vessel for Kimberly in the 1960s. Mary Masri of MMDesigns in Palm Beach redesigned the interior, giving nods to Budweiser in red, white and blue accents, including Budweiser-monogrammed 600-thread count sheets from Lanvin. Fourteen-feet wide with the same white ash-wood interior as the original, Miss Budweiser now has a top-of-the-line Furuno radar, 78
Cummins QSM 11 engines, Murray fighting chairs, a stunning salon, granite countertops from Brazil and L-shaped banquettes designed with striped azure Perennials outdoor fabric. Michael and Cheri were very involved in the interior redesign, helping select fabric samples and the color palette. They loved feeling the boat glide across the sea during the months leading up to the relaunch. “Michael was so excited,” Masri says. “His mother told me that he has been given the present of his life with this boat. He loves being on the sea and would spend 365 days a year onboard if he could.” To Michael, Miss Budweiser is a perfect fishing boat, outfitted with six bunk beds, two showers and toilets, and no fancy staterooms. Joined by a captain and mate, great friends and family members, the Flanigans can fish for a few days and enjoy another world at sea. “I have the thrill of my Busch heritage memories coming alive and also taking my family out on her and making new memories,” Michael says. Indeed, Cheri and their 22-year-old twins, John and Kenly, love their time aboard Miss Budweiser. As part-time Palm Beachers, they

grew up on the water. Ever since the Flanigans acquired the boat, the family’s trips to the island have become more frequent. “Our first real ride on the finished product was in December of 2012,” Cheri says. “Since we live in the mountains near Lake Tahoe, coming to Palm Beach and riding the waters on Miss Budweiser was exhilarating. The fish we caught were gorgeous, and we all had a Pirates of the Caribbean feeling while onboard. It was totally amazing.” While Cheri and her children enjoy the boat seasonally, Michael comes to Palm Beach every two weeks year-round and spends the majority of the time on the water. He charters Miss Budweiser for sightseeing and other tropical jaunts, exploring the Florida and Bahamian waters. He wants to form a tournament fishing team that could travel to New Jersey waters, fish for Atlantic blue marlin in St. Thomas, reel in dorado in the Lower Keys or catch sailfish off Palm Beach. With the sun bouncing off the water, Michael’s day is perfect when he is fishing aboard Miss Budweiser. “I love to catch a 400-pound fish after the fight of my life, pat the marlin on the head and watch him majestically swim away,” Michael says with a smile. “And seeing a pack of excited striped marlins balling thousands of sardines and feasting [is unbelievable]. These are some of the reasons I love the Miss Budweiser. I couldn’t be happier, and so is my family.” «

Jim Kimberly and The Blue Fox Designed and built by Rybovich and Sons in West Palm Beach, Miss Budweiser, originally called The Blue Fox, was the second boat ever built using the revolutionary cold-mold method. This is a lightweight process in which layers of wood with opposing grain patterns are glued to each other. Palm Beach sport fisherman-bon vivant Jim Kimberly was so impressed with the first successful cold-mold experiment that he gave Tommy Rybovich, a World War II pilot and designer with an artist’s flair, the $150,000 order to build a 50-foot sport fisherman using the same technique. He also commissioned Rybovich to create this boat with a mezzanine-style cockpit. Lighter and faster than conventionally planked boats, The Blue Fox was launched in late 1961 and set the stage for the eventual conversion of all-new hulls. The following year, Kimberly, who owned another boat, sold The Blue Fox to Anheuser-Busch’s Gussie Bush. It was renamed Miss Budweiser and eventually hosted many business bigwigs and celebrities like Frank Sinatra, who owned the Long Beach, California AnheuserBusch branch; Tim McCarver of the St. Louis Cardinals; and Bernie Little, head of the Miss Budweiser hydroplane team. Over the years, hundreds of people have enjoyed fishing aboard Miss Budweiser in Florida, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. —L.M.

teven Caras (above) began his career in dance with the New York City Ballet. Under the leadership of its founder, George Balanchine, Caras danced worldwide in works choreographed by Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. Balanchine also mentored Caras in dance photography, which led him to a second career after his dancing days were over. Celebrated as “one of the most revered image makers of dance in history,� Caras has amassed a body of work that includes 120,000 photographs, many of iconic dancers such as Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Caras now lectures and teaches, as well as raises funds for the arts. He is founding chairman of two local nonprofits, The Randolph A. Frank Prize for the Performing Arts and College Drive. A documentary on his life and career, Steven Caras: See Them Dance, was released by PBS in 2012 and won several awards, including an Emmy. It continues to air on PBS stations nationwide. In honor of his own transition from dance to photography, Caras will receive the Heart & Soul Award from Career Transition for Dancers, a profit organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, as well as outreach nationally, on January 29 during a dinner dance at The Breakers in Palm Beach.

SHADOW PLAY Dan Harris was one of Caras’ favorite dancers at Ballet Florida. This shot, circa late 1990s, was a studio experiment working with a ring light. The light’s “circling of the subject” shadow effect outlines Harris evenly, creating the illusion that he might be lying down or jumping very close to a wall or backdrop. Neither is true; he was jumping a good eight feet from the background.

During the bows, audience members were unyielding in anticipation of seeing him, and on this night—July 4, 1982—more than ever. Balanchine’s failing health was no secret and many sensed this could be one of his last public appearances. When he came into public view, the thunderous ovation shook the house as sailing white bouquets landed at his feet. It was, in fact, his final public appearance. “Mr. B.” passed away nine months later, on April 30, 1983.

tailgating palm beach-style
TOUCHDOWN
In Palm Beach, every event deserves to be done to the nines—even a Super Bowl tailgate. We asked three designers to create their versions of the ultimate tailgate, with winning results. BY MARY Murray | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROSE E. MARTIN
Black & Gold Glam Beth Beattie of Beth Beattie Branding, PR and Events crafted this upscale and modern tailgate—complete with an Airstream travel trailer and a powder blue Bentley—on the grounds of the International Polo Club Palm Beach. The Airstream was recently converted into a mobile party lounge by Aaron’s Catering of the Palm Beaches, which also provided the playful mini burgers garnished with mini beer mugs. The black, gold and white color scheme is carried through the black crocodile placemats, gold chargers and rimmed goblets (all from Panache) as well as the chevron rug and napkins and white floral displays from MB Flower Designs. Tailgaters can relax in high-top chairs from Idlewild Home Furnishings while sampling a cigar from the bar and, of course, enjoying the game on the flat screen.

Before, during and after the kickoff, guests can indulge in Veuve Clicquot, caviar blinis and beef sliders, also from Aaron’s Catering of the Palm Beaches. The moss tablecloth, handcrafted by Tom Mathieu and Co., is decorated with football field markings and complemented by candelabras wrapped in yellow roses and topped with silver footballs. The final touch: Harley the Lab, the perfect tailgate sidekick. Sheila Camp Motley Event Design and Management, Wellington (434-466-6939, sheilacampmotley.com) 104 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Chic Mobility This warm and welcoming display by Stephen Mooney Interiors offers the best in upscale tailgating: luxury and mobility. All of the furniture is collapsible and can be thrown in the back of the vintage Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The luxury comes in the stunning rug (from Stephen Mooney Interiors) as well as serving pieces, dishes and barware from William Yeoward Crystal, Ralph Lauren and Tiffany & Co. The crisp table linen from Pioneer Linens is the perfect backdrop to a delectable spread of treats and sweets from Amici Market, and a simple and vibrant display of hydrangeas completes the look.

hen Hamburger Heaven moved to Clematis Street one year ago after residing for 53 years at 314 South County Road, Dan Ponton couldn’t let the historic venue face an uncertain fate. He rescued the quintessential American diner space—a rarity in South Florida—polished the interior, leaving the iconic U-shaped counter intact, and respectfully transformed it into SurfSide Diner, a casual breakfast and lunch eatery that serves American comfort food. SurfSide couldn’t be more different from Club Colette, Ponton’s elite supper club on Peruvian Avenue, but it plays into the simple side of the owner, who loves diner fare and named the locale after his favorite beach in his hometown of Nantucket. Most importantly, the Hamburger Heaven regular can still enjoy a meal in classic surroundings as he and other faithfuls have for years. “I appreciate that people feel the same way about it. People would miss it if it was gone,” he says. Turn the page for more about SurfSide in a Q&A with Ponton. (561-659-7495) —Jennifer Pfaff

Why a diner? DP: I love diner food. I go to diners all the time, wherever I travel. There’s something about a diner that’s very American and comfortable. More specifically, I didn’t want this one to disappear. I’ve been going [there] for the better part of my adult life. It wasn’t a true diner but certainly dineresque. [Opening a diner] was completely out of my comfort zone—which was kind of the fun of it. SurfSide is named after your favorite beach in Nantucket. Was the diner influenced by New England in other ways? I would say the Palm Beach beachside lifestyle is the biggest influence. What’s appealing is it’s casual dining with a beachside location. SurfSide is obviously very different from Club Colette. Do they have anything in common? A lot, actually. Both have the same philosophy: We strive to give great food, a welcoming atmosphere and for everyone to feel special amongst friends. How you’re eating or what you’re eating is important, but quality and companionship is the most important thing. It’s about a relationship with the diner who comes in and the people serving you. What’s special to you about SurfSide? The location. I used to be there every day, sometimes twice a day. I’d get up, go get a newspaper, eat breakfast there, come to the office and if I had to have a lunch with
someone, I’d say, “Let’s go to Hamburger Heaven.” I appreciate that people feel the same way about it. People would miss it if it was gone. What’s special about [the interior] is the counter. It’s totally about the counter. You can come in by yourself and never feel isolated or alone. What’s your favorite item on the menu? Two of my favorite things to eat in the whole wide world are blueberry pancakes and turkey burger sliders. I could eat these every day of my life. I’m pretty spontaneous [laughs]. Not really. I’m such a creature of habit. Is there anything unexpected? We have a really good cappuccino, which is really not diner food. And we have a frozen yogurt machine. The yogurt is a no-fat delicious frozen yogurt. There’s a yogurt place I go to in Cape Cod, and I chased down the person there and said, “I’m opening a diner 3,000 miles away. I want to know how you do it.” And she told me. What should we order for our sweet tooth? Amazing chocolate pecan cookies and lemon meringue pie—really, really good pie. What dish is iconic SurfSide? Grilled cheese with bacon and tomato with a side of tomato soup. That is the ultimate comfort food. The bread’s like an inch thick, it’s grilled, there’s oodles of American cheese, crisp bacon—amazing. Can you sum up the SurfSide experience in one sentence? Classic comfort is always in style.
We may not have Trappist monasteries, but craft beer has a growing presence in South Florida. Due South Brewing Co. in Boynton Beach is a full-blown brewery with an adjacent taproom. In North County, Tequesta Brewing Co. turns out a full complement of ales, stouts and IPAs. The Funky Buddha opened three years ago as a brewpub and now operates a brewery in Oakland Park as well, where it makes craft beer for local distribution. Its core brews are the Hop Gun IPA and Floridian Hefewiesen, inspired by the unfiltered German wheat beers. “People who drink craft beer are passionate about it,” says John Linn, brand director for The Funky Buddha. “The number of local breweries is small, but demand is strong and the category is growing.” To sample the best locally produced craft beer along with top national labels, head to the annual Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival on January 25 at Roger Dean Stadium in Abacoa from 1-5 p.m. (jupitercraftbrewers festival.com)

HOT TODDIES
Hot toddies have been around nearly as long as whiskey. There was a toddy in India as early as the seventeenth century, and by the eighteenth century the practice of diluting Scotch with hot water was a common one because it helped mask the strong aroma and flavor of peat in the early malts. In many cultures, the hot toddy is believed to have medicinal or even curative powers. Depending on your point of view, this is either myth or wishful thinking, but there’s no denying its charm on a cold night. Even though we live in the Sunshine State, it can still get chilly on some winter evenings. Why wait until you get sick to indulge? According to Bob Routhier, veteran bartender at Ta-bóo on Worth Avenue, the new honey-flavored bourbons are all the rage for hot toddies. He recommends using 1.5 oz. of Jack Daniels Honey Bourbon or Jim Beam Red Stag, 4 oz. apple cider (not juice) and a cinnamon stick. “If you’re feeling really decadent,” he says, “you can put a pat of butter on top.” —M.S.

Sit at the Table This month kicks off the fourth season of Swank Table, the popular series of farm-to-table luncheons sponsored by Swank Specialty Produce in Loxahatchee. Guests are greeted by the chefs with a welcome cocktail and bite before taking a tour of South Florida’s leading organic producer. After grazing at an appetizer station, they sit down at a communal table for a seven-course menu, designed by a team of chefs and served family style. A portion of the proceeds from each event is donated to a local charity, such as the Milagro Center in Delray Beach. “These luncheons allow us to showcase the finest local chefs and bring food awareness to the public,” says Jodi Swank, who owns the farm with husband Darrin. “Palm Beach County has been very generous to us, and we want to give something back.” Most events run from noon to 4 p.m. and cost $155, including wine with each course; the entire series may be purchased for $560.

Taste Fresh from the Kitchen
A kitchen is said to be the heart of a home. Push through the
glass doors of Matthew Byrne’s bustling, hole-in-the-wall West Palm Beach resto, Kitchen, and you feel it instantly—a heartbeat. Byrne, who is Tiger Woods’ former personal chef, opened this intimate eatery in November with the goal of serving sophisticated (but not intimidating) fare in a relaxed, chic interior. Designed by Byrne’s wife and business partner, Aliza, it features Rolling Stone photos and a chalkboard wall scrawled with inspirational quotes. using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and purveyors, the menu offers dishes such as chicken schnitzel topped with sweet onion, mushroom, arugula and a fried egg ($26) and the Kitchen burger, a perfect mash-up of grass-fed chuck, brisket, short ribs, foie gras, American cheese and caramelized onions ($18). When asked about the biggest obstacle in running his own restaurant, Byrne says, “We keep running out of foie gras.” Tough life. (561-249-2281, kitchenpb.com) —kerry shorr

Bubbles of Distinction Celebrate extraordinary moments with an equally extraordinary bottle of Champagne By Mark SPivak
Above: Salon Champagne Right: Vines at Champagne Krug
Champagne is a mirror of the good life in all its forms— the beverage we choose for celebration and commemoration, to mark a milestone or to reward ourselves for a job well done. For those times when only the rarest and finest will do, here are three top choices: Krug: It’s fitting that Olivier Krug was chosen to be the featured vintner at this year’s Naples Winter Wine Festival. For six generations, Champagne Krug has epitomized excellence, providing a special experience prized above all others. The house was founded in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, an immigrant from the German city of Mainz. “My great-great-great grandfather had a vision,” Olivier says. “He knew that Champagne was about pleasure. His dream was to create Champagne that would be superlative every year, regardless of the quality of the vintage.” There are many factors that set Krug apart, but the most important is careful and artful blending, which is responsible for the wine’s complexity, harmony and finesse. The cornerstone of the production is Grande Cuvée ($210), referred to by some as a “multi-vintage” rather than nonvintage Champagne, containing wines from at least 10 different vintages, some of which are as old as 15 years. Salon: In the early years of the twentieth century, a Parisian furrier named Eugène Aimé Salon had a vision. He was convinced Chardonnay grapes from Le Mesnilsur-Oger could produce Champagne of great elegance and so superlative that it wouldn’t be necessary to add the customary Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier. Today, most connoisseurs believe he was right. He began making Champagne solely from Chardonnay grapes, a wine he shared only with friends. The first commercial release of Salon was 1921; there were a total of 37 vintages made during the twentieth century, an average of four per decade. The wine is powerful and ripe, with prominent acidity and a strong mineral underpinning. It’s not easy to find and averages $350 per bottle when available, but it is one of the most singular experiences in the world of Champagne.

Tree of Life Foundation International is a 501 C 3 Global fundraising organization that connects the gifts, talents and resources of individuals and worldwide organizations. Tree of Life Foundation International mission is to support non-profit organizations dedicated to rescue and defend the animals, protect the environment and fill the needs of the people. Working with committed organizations and volunteers we were able to help and save hundreds of animals, provide them with loving temporary care and find them well matched habitat and forever homes. Tree of Life Foundation International is proud to announce the adoption of two elephants by supporting IFAW to keep our elephants safe. The elephants were moved by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW – www.ifaw.org) to save them from persecution by local villagers trying to protect their crops and livelihoods from the animals. “This is a victory for both elephants and people – they have been engaged in a battle that has seen elephants cruelly wounded and killed, and many local people killed as well. Moving the elephants was, without a doubt, the only solution to a terrible situation for both the elephants
and the community. A total of 83 elephants were moved. All the elephants were moved safely and without incident, and released into Majete Wildlife Reserve, which is formally protected and offers the elephants a safe, secure home for the long-term.” Tree of Life Foundation recognized IFAW with the 2008 and 2011 Global Heart Award along with The Roar Foundation Shambala Preserve, Humane Society of Greater Miami, Palm Beach Zoo and Peggy Adams Animals Rescue League for their acts of generosity and goodwill. Amanda Schumacher is the Founder and CEO of the Tree of Life Foundation International and the foundation is supported by the Schumacher Family Foundation, which funds all administrative costs. All donations received 100% go back to the community and to non-profit organizations. We all can “give a gift of hope” that will make a positive impact in someone’s life. Please help us give hope, food, housing and love to so many animals, children, men and women throughout the world.

Dom Pérignon Oenothèque: This isn’t the stuff you buy at Costco. At rare intervals, the house of Moët rereleases exceptional vintages of Dom Pérignon, Champagne that has rested comfortably in the cellars of the châteaux at Épernay. They are disgorged before release and typically have a lower dosage (sweetness) level than the regular Dom. These bottles are rare gems, and prices reflect that: They start around $400 for recent vintages and climb as high as $1,600 for older years. The even rarer Oenothèque Rosé hovers around $1,000 per bottle. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to taste the 1990 and 2000 Oenothèque Rosé with Vincent Chaperon, winemaker for Dom Pérignon, who works under
current
David Iliff
Pour
Chef du Cave Richard Geoffroy. Chaperon is a selfdescribed risk-taker who views the process of creating Dom as an existential challenge. The 2000 is full-bodied and elegant in the mouth, with expansive flavors of wild strawberry and red raspberry. The most remarkable aspect of the wine is its finish. Rich and haunting, it seems to continue for a full minute. As good as it is, it pales next to the 1990, which has an amazing nose of pastry dough, tropical fruits and candied red berries, along with whiffs of mushroom and truffle. It is intense and complex on the palate, with unfolding layers of rhubarb and red fruits. And the finish? I’m still thinking about it, and that’s what I call length. «

The Perfect Match
Waterfront Properties’ Meike MacGregor and her husband, Jamie, are the ultimate duo in real estate and yachting by Nila Do
PROMOTION
They say sometimes it takes two. One counterpart can complement another’s already stellar work. Some of history’s most memorable moments are the result of dynamic duos: Abbott and Costello, Simon and Garfunkel, Sonny and Cher. In the case of Meike MacGregor, Singer Island’s top real estate agent in single-family homes, her counterpart is her husband, Jamie. When Meike married Jamie nine years ago, she couldn’t predict how much their relationship would bloom beyond their household and family. Through their separate jobs—Meike is one of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ top Realtors, and Jamie is president and broker of one of the world’s leading custom yacht brokerage firms— they have given clients a full-service offering, satisfying home and boating needs. Through their individual businesses, the couple refers clients to each other, sharing a trusted and reputable recommendation for either a yacht broker or luxury real estate agent. As Meike simplifies it, MacGregor Yachts is “basically Waterfront Properties for boaters. We both specialize in extremely high-end entities and a clientele who is savvy and who wants a luxury product.” A real estate specialist for more than 12 years, Meike has quickly become the top agent in Singer Island in her three short years with Waterfront Properties. She credits the company’s state-of-the-art lead system, innovative marketing and advertising strategies, and specialized and focused territory assignments that allow her to provide the highest service to her customers. Waterfront Properties, led by Managing Partner Rob Thomson, has long been the Palm Beaches’ and Treasure Coast’s most trusted name in high-end real estate. Meike says she couldn’t imagine a better company to work for. “When you are working for another company, you really have to figure it out yourself. It’s as if you’re on your own,” she says. “But it’s not like that at all at Waterfront Properties. If you want to succeed, they will help you get there. They will offer you the support you need, and then it’s up to you to succeed.” For husband Jamie, it’s a harmonious duet he’s happy to be a part of. A yacht and high-end sport fishing boat broker for nearly 23 years in the Palm Beach area, Jamie says yacht owners have the same vision for their high-end watercraft that they do when buying a home, which makes his and Meike’s partnership even more appropriate. “We’re associates to a certain extent,” Jamie says. “My business will always come first, but if an out-of-town client wants recommendations for a local Realtor, I feel comfortable referring him to Meike. There’s a certain peace of mind I have knowing that my client will be taken care of with the highest level of customer service.” Together, the couple balances an ideal working and personal relationship. Their individual jobs have given them each an opportunity to share ideas and grow personally and professionally.
“Meike and I are constantly bouncing ideas off each other on how to approach a certain situation,” Jamie says. “Because we’re both in such niche markets, it makes it easy to know that we understand where the other is coming from.” Even when her clients request specific details Meike might not have the answers to immediately, like if a boat can fit in a certain waterway, she feels comfortable asking Jamie for the answers. Jamie even remembers a time when the couple worked with each other to help a Maryland man find his ideal Singer Island abode. After purchasing numerous sports fishing boats and other crafts through MacGregor Yachts, the client wanted to set roots in Singer Island. Guess whom Jamie referred him to when it came to purchasing a home? “Something like that happens all the time with us,” Meike says. “Since Jamie’s clients are worldwide, they want to establish second and third homes in Singer Island. And I am able to help them with their residential goals.” The couple’s unofficial business partnership has helped their clients tenfold. For instance, some of Meike’s clients who enjoy living on the water don’t have a boat, she says. “I take that opportunity to suggest that if any of Jamie’s clients need dock space, I know of a client who can rent out a dock. It’s a win-win all the way around. It’s extra income for my client—especially being that most live here part time—and Jamie’s client gets a comfortable, safe place to keep their boat.” For this couple, whose respective jobs keep them busy and active, it’s a perfect partnership that has only made them better at their professions. “Jamie has always been driven. He’s always go, go, go,” Meike says. “What I’ve really learned from him that gets me inspired is how well he negotiates. He can negotiate the second he wakes up at the crack of dawn up to the moment he lays his head down to rest. I feed from that.”
But it’s not only Meike who has noticed a difference.
“I think that we inspire each other, and especially since Meike has moved to Waterfront, I think that her tempo has changed,” says Jamie. “I think that Waterfront has given her a lot of opportunities that she hasn’t had before with other real estate companies. It has allowed her to see how a company should run, and when she got to Waterfront Properties, she catapulted, becoming the No. 1 real estate agent in Singer Island.” For the MacGregors, life has been a perfect match in every sense of the phrase. The past nine years have been some of the best for them. As the parents to four children, the MacGregors have set fantastic roots here in the area. And don’t be surprised if you see them on the waterways, cruising on their 60-foot custom sport fishing boat, Mac Daddy.

Balance This year's race has new meaning for cancer survivor Mary Booher (above).
On January 25, Susan G. Komen South Florida will host the twenty-third annual Race for the Cure in downtown West Palm Beach. For Mary Booher, a founding board member of the South Florida chapter, this marathon is different from all the others—because it will be her first as a breast cancer survivor. Booher became involved with Komen at its inception for a number of reasons. In addition to being a physician’s wife with a passion for women’s health issues, she had also experienced the death of a close friend to the disease. “At the time, no one knew how to talk about it,” Booher says. For more than 20 years, she helped nurture and support the mission of Susan G. Komen South Florida as just that—a supporter. Then, in the spring of 2013, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly, her work became all the more personal. After undergoing a bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction on Mother’s Day weekend, Booher is now cancer free. “I want to now redouble my efforts and share what I wouldn’t have known if not for Komen,” she says. Booher’s story is just one of many, and on January 25, she will join other survivors in a race for the cure. (561-514-3020, komensouthflorida.org)

Balance Ancient Answer Pop quiz time: Name an ancient superfood packed with probiotics and once considered a source of family wealth among the tribes of Caucasus. Stumped? The answer is kefir, a fermented milk beverage consumed worldwide. Kefir differs from yogurt—the traditional form of fermented milk—because it is made only from kefir grains. It also contains much more probiotics, a live microbial food supplement that possesses gastrointestinal benefits. Today, kefir is most commonly consumed as a milk beverage, but it can also be added to smoothies. For tasty kefir recipes, visit our Health + Fitness board on Pinterest
Resolve to be Flexible Weight loss is the perennial New Year’s resolution. For 2014, resolve to be flexible by taking up (and maintaining) the Flexitarian Diet. Made popular by the book of the same name by certified nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner, this diet stresses meals rich in plants and low in meat. In essence, a flexitarian is a flexible vegetarian: one who minimizes meat without excluding it altogether. The diet does not enforce calorie restrictions but instead promotes fresh and seasonal foods formatted in flexible meal plans. The idea is to replace most meat with other foods rich in protein that also satisfy the craving for umami, a savory taste common in meats. Sample recipes include cauliflower mac and cheese, parsnip fries, tofu pesto scramble and gluten-free salmon cakes. Transitioning to a vegetable- and plant-heavy diet can have many health benefits. As outlined by the Mayo Clinic, those who eat a plant-based diet tend to consume fewer calories and less fat, weigh less and have lower cholesterol. (dawnjacksonblatner.com)
Female Focus
Prenatal Fitness Classes
Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful times in a woman’s life, but it doesn’t always feel that way. Prenatal exercise can help women find strength and comfort throughout pregnancy. According to the Mayo Clinic, prenatal exercise can ease or prevent discomforts like back pain as well as boost energy levels, aid in sleep, prevent excess weight gain and increase muscle strength. Low-impact exercises, such as walking, swimming and moderate aerobics, are ideal for expectant mothers, though a health care provider should be consulted. In Palm Beach County, there are a handful of prenatal exercise classes from which to choose. The Orchid Nest in Delray Beach hosts mothers-to-be at prenatal yoga classes,
held three times a week. Co-founder Lorie McCoy says the sequence of postures employed in the class is designed to increase flexibility, strength, circulation and balance while minimizing weight gain and back pain and easing stiff muscles. “The yoga techniques explored in this class allow participants to nurture and open their bodies throughout every stage of pregnancy,” McCoy says. (561-865-5692, orchidnest.com) For a personalized approach, visit Fitness Redefined in Jupiter, which offers Mommy Fitness classes taught in private or limited-size groups. “Every pregnant woman has her own unique set of strengths and limitations,” says Marissa Lavin, the developer of Fitness Redefined’s prenatal training program. The program focuses on core training, achieved through standing- or seated-position exercises. According to Lavin, exercises such as squatting strengthen the muscles and build vital core strength needed as the abdominal area stretches and the position of the pelvis and lower back shifts to accommodate a growing baby.

When the fount of Judy Blume wisdom has run dry, where can women turn to learn more about their bodies? On January 23, Johns Hopkins Medicine will host its women’s health conference, “A Woman’s Journey,” at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. The event features Johns Hopkins doctors speaking on a variety of topics, including how gender affects sleep patterns, the secrets to forgiveness and neurologic diseases.

Art Healing
Sonia Thomas is not your typical artist. She’s a board-certified art therapist and, with her company, Brush Strokes Art Therapy, she uses the process of making art to address her clients’ emotional needs. Based in South Florida, she offers onsite art therapy sessions throughout Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties dealing with issues such as grief and depression. We chatted with Thomas about her experience as an art therapist and the principles behind the practice. (954-856-3110, brushstrokesarttherapy.com) How would you describe the guiding philosophy behind art therapy? ST: The American Art Therapy Association is our national organization, and it says that the creative process involved in art making is healing and life enhancing. We’ve found that being able to use the creative process really helps your brain; it helps rebuild neurons. Sometimes it’s difficult for people to talk about how they’re feeling. When you’re using your hands, when you’re making art, it helps relax you to the point where it’s easier to talk.
Renee Taylor has always been on a diet. And not just any diet, but those from Hollywood: Marilyn Monroe loved grapes, Joan Crawford was told to eat raisins for iron deficiency and Grace Kelly drank lots of water after eating yogurt—so Taylor mimicked each, and others. “I was obsessed with: What did they eat? As if that was why they were so beautiful,” she says. The actress, best known for her role as Sylvia Fine on the ’90s sitcom The Nanny, cowrote with her director husband Joe Bologna My Life On A Diet, a oneperson humorous play that recounts her eating habits over the years. The show, which comes to the Plaza Theatre from January 16 to February 4, is based on true anecdotes—some funny, some not—from Taylor’s career and personal life. “That’s how I remember my life—what I was eating, what diet I was on,” she says. Just how many diets has she tried? “Thousands,” she says. Among the interesting ones is the Champagne diet, which requires dieters to consume two glasses of Champagne with each meal, Taylor says. “They said that cheap Champagne had more calories, so I had to drink Cristal,” she says. “So I became a $300-a-day drunk on that diet.” By the end of the show, audiences learn Taylor's underlying message: Food is a substitute for something deeper. “If you’re heavy, it’s okay. You just have to feel your feelings. That’s really what people are hungry for,” Taylor says. (561-588-1820, theplazatheatre.net)
Can you describe a typical art therapy session? We’ll talk about what’s happening with [the client] right now—good or bad. Based on those initial concerns, plus what’s happening in his or her life right now, we’ll come up with an art intervention to express that particular problem. I’ll give [the client] time to do that, and we’ll also talk about the process as [the client is] doing it. And then, when we’re done, making the art is really the heart of the process. We’ll look at the work and we’ll talk about it: What’s going on in this piece? How does it relate to what’s going on with you right now? The discussion part is really as important as the art itself. Does one need to be artistically inclined to benefit from art therapy? You definitely don’t have to be artistically inclined. This is not art class. You’re not being graded. It’s about getting dirty and working with the material and exploring it and using it in a way that’s [about] discovery, as opposed to being meticulous and making sure you’re using the right shading and the right tool.

Agenda Don't Speak
“The body says what words cannot.” This statement by the great twentieth-century choreographer Martha Graham summarizes her belief that the body can communicate far louder than words. Graham redefined modern dance in America, using the art form to comment on social issues. She founded her dance company in 1926 and proceeded to influence a generation of dancers and choreographers, including Twyla Tharp and Merce Cunningham. On January 14, the Martha Graham Dance Company will visit the Kravis Center to perform classic Graham works as well as new commissions that illustrate the choreographer’s lasting mark on dance. “Lamentation Variations,” for instance, is a tribute to one of Graham’s iconic solo performances as interpreted by three of today’s top choreographers. Tickets to the performance start at $20. (561-832-7469, kravis.org) —Mary Murray

Shades of Indigo For more than 25 years, singers Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have enchanted fans as folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls. On January 16, they will perform at the Kravis Center, accompanied by a full orchestra (tickets start at $25). We chatted with Ray about the show and her life as a musician. (561-832-7469, kravis.org) How does it feel to perform your songs with a full orchestra? It’s like being in the middle of a storm, but you’re not going to be hurt. It’s so dramatic, and there’s so much information happening. Emotionally, it’s pretty overwhelming, and I think it’s physically overwhelming because your brain is just being hit with all this musical input. It’s quite a challenge at first, and then once we learn how to stand our ground and feel stable in the midst of all that, we really are set free by it in some ways. When did you start writing music? I started writing songs in elementary school, like in the ’70s, but they were bad. I think I started writing pretty seriously around my freshman year of college, like around ’83. I really started to [reach] out to songwriters and seek out information about songwriting and really learn about it. Is performing something you’ve always enjoyed? I’ve always enjoyed it, but it never feels like performing; it feels like communing with song and the audience. Because [Emily and I] grew up playing in our English class and at camp and in more of an environment where you all were together, we didn’t really see the stage as a separate entity from the rest of the room. So, that’s kind of a blessing in a way, where we’ve just been able to be part of the experience in a way that brings everyone into it instead of this real division, because we’re not pop stars. … That’s just not who we are.

Palm Beach is home to yet another first-class music organization. In November, the Chamber Music Society of Palm Beach was formed with the mission to support and generate appreciation of chamber music.

Each is held at the Mar-a-Lago Club and features some of the world’s greatest musicians from groups such as the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra. This month, hear harpsichordist Paolo Bordignon and oboists Matthew Dine and Stephen Taylor on January 21. Three additional performances are scheduled for February, March and April.
