Providing meals to deserving families Wells Fargo is proud to help United Way of Palm Beach County support Project ThanksgivingTM, an initiative to brighten the holiday season for local families.

We’ve contributed funds to help the organization provide Thanksgiving meals to thousands of deserving residents. Though Palm Beach County is generally regarded as affluent, the area faces poverty-related challenges similar to those found in other parts of the country. With a large population struggling with hunger and other basic daily requirements, Wells Fargo is glad to help assist those in need.

We believe that we can only be as strong as the communities in which we live and work, and we are honored to be a part of the greater Palm Beach community.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

riving around town, it’s easy to spot numerous local landmarks bearing the names of those who provided the financial backing to help make them possible. A museum here, a hospital wing there … indicators of great generosity surround us. Without the kindness of these benefactors, some of these structures might never have broken ground at all.

Still, my thoughts also turn to those who choose to give without fanfare or in smaller amounts. For every grant to fund construction of a library, there are countless others giving just-in-time donations to food banks and free clinics.

Our community wouldn’t be the same without both styles of benevolence.

When I talk with CEOs and board members of nonprofit organizations, as I frequently do on social occasions or at formal fundraising events, many of them share quiet concerns that affluent donors sometimes feel obligated to wait on the sidelines until there’s an immediate need for a sizable contribution to build a children’s camp, outfit a performing arts school or do anything else of a scope that might merit naming rights. They insist this reticence usually isn’t about ego, but more about a belief that only a handful of people have the resources to step in when the stakes are huge. They pick their spots.

I can appreciate that line of reasoning, but there is another, equally valid approach.

Americans are generous people. Last year, philanthropic giving in the United States totaled $290.9 billion, with more than 72 percent of that figure coming from individual donors. This fall, however, looks to be particularly critical for nonprofit organizations across the board. The Chronicle of Philanthropy recently reported that two out of three Americans are feeling pressure to cut back on charitable giving for the foreseeable future—which could be a sign of trouble for organizations, many of which had just begun to recover from declining donations in 2008 and 2009 with a modest 2-percent increase in 2010.

Considering this, now might be a good time for more of us to diversify our giving strategies. It can be just as impressive—and certainly have an appreciable impact—to distribute our generosity among several good causes rather than make one major contribution to a single recipient.

That said, I’d like to offer some words of encouragement during this month of Thanksgiving: We all can make a broad difference in these uncertain times with relatively minimal effort. We don’t have to fund buildings to substantially affect our community—although there’s certainly a place for that type of giving—but we can, and should, take equal pride in benevolence of any magnitude.

v EDITOR’S LETTER

All About Style s it just me or does it seem that season is already at full throttle? Already the calendar is crowded with social events as everyone gears up for another year of fundraising, friendraising and just plain celebrating. It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise; there is a lot to fit in, so launching into season earlier makes sense.

With that in mind, we have devoted our November issue to style for the season. We have reviewed the collections of fashion, accessories, jewelry and objects, and have culled the choices that resonate with a Palm Beach state of mind.

In “Days of Leisure,” we present the best of the resort collections against a backdrop of green lawns dotted with palms, the waves of the Atlantic and sparkling pools surrounded by hedges. It is a classic Palm Beach story, the perfect scene for our modern take on the nautical theme. With crisp silhouettes and punchy colors, the resort collections are super-wearable and will move you through the season in style. See the full story on page 64.

For the men, we take a fresh look at the classics. The focus is now on graphic prints, slim silhouettes and color blocking, all of which create a compelling reason for a wardrobe—and mood—shift. Photographer Bell Soto’s innovative story, “High Contrast,” begins on page 82.

When we think of season, we think of jewels. To that end, we present our roundup of ultimate pieces to invest in now. From a gem-encrusted peacock wrapped around your wrist to a fanciful Thai dancer animating your lapel, these jewels surely will be tomorrow’s collectible masterpieces. See “Points of Light” on page 90.

We love a great party. This month, we visit jeweler Michelle Farmer and hubby Peter at the Hamptons. Their outdoor dinner party, held over the summer, was the essence of casually elegant entertaining. Thanks in no small part to Jeff Fowler of The Breakers, who is both party planner and life of the party, the evening was full of wonderful little details like flowers from the Farmers’ garden, lights strung through the trees and a meal made with farm-fresh ingredients. To quote Jeff loosely, “Check it out, Gagas” (“A Very Gaga Evening,” page 74).

I hope our stylish lineup puts you in the mood for what promises to be a very festive season. Enjoy!

v Jon Lovitz

Funny man Jon Lovitz is a man of many faces.

He’s best known for his run on Saturday Night Live, where he was a cast member from 1985 to 1992, earning two Emmy nominations and creating such characters as Master Thespian, Hanukkah Harry and Tommy Flanagan of Pathological Liars Anonymous, for which he coined the catchphrase, “Yeah, that’s the ticket!” Lovitz also has appeared in movies including Big, A League of Their Own, The Wedding Singer and Rat Race. He’s lent his voice to The Simpsons and acted on Broadway in The Dinner Party, taking over Henry Winkler’s role as Albert Donay. Jon began doing stand-up comedy seven years ago and opened his own comedy club in 2007 in San Diego and another one at City Walk in Universal Studios Hollywood. He will perform at The Improv in West Palm Beach November 11-13.

—Jennifer Pfaff

Allan Amato

n Where do you get your material for stand-up?

I see something in the news or in life that makes me do a double-take in my brain and think, “What the hell is that about? That doesn’t make any sense.” n In your acting career, what role did you most enjoy playing and why?

A League of Their Own was probably the most fun, because I love baseball. I wanted to be a baseball player growing up. I also love women. And then I love movies from the ’40s. So it combined my love of baseball, women and movies—old movies. I was in heaven. n You’re known for being a funny guy.

What’s the serious side of Jon Lovitz like?

Even when I’m being funny, I’m being serious; I just say it in a funny way. I have a lot of close friends I’ve had for years, and my family is very supportive of each other. I’m sensitive. I think I’m too sensitive. I feel things too deeply.

diversions first class v seeing green The first St. Regis in the Caribbean brings a new level of luxury to Puerto Rico.

By Daphne Nikolopoulos

Ecotourism has become such an overused, and sometimes misused, term that it is refreshing to come across the real deal—a resort, for example, that has committed to the rigors of becoming an Audubon Internationalcertified Gold Signature Sanctuary, protecting a fragile ecosystem while offering guests the topmost luxury.

Opening page: The Boathouse is a launching point for scenic tours.

The green vision of the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Puerto Rico goes well beyond asking guests to reuse towels or offering energy-saving lightbulbs. The resort, which opened this time last year on the island’s pristine Bahia Beach, has been designed, constructed and maintained according to Audubon International’s strict standards. What does that mean? For starters, wildlife conservation—a big deal considering the breadth of the site’s native species of avifauna, sea turtles, manatees and fish—and habitat enhancement, which involved, among other things, the planting of more than 12,000 trees and 70,000 native plants.

The resort’s intricate Natural Resource Management Plan addressed everything from storm-water capture to the creation of an on-site plant nursery to perpetuate reforestation of the 483-acre property. The results of its efforts are palpable. Walk around the grounds, and you’re likely to feel like you are in a nature preserve.

Hiking, bird watching and kayaking let you get up close and personal with some of the native flora and fauna.

It’s almost hard to believe that in the midst of this pristine paradise is an iconic luxury hotel with such amenities as a Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant, a Remède Spa and golf by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The St. Regis Bahia Beach, the first St. Regis in the Caribbean, was built with two things in mind: the environ58

ment (the low-rise, plantation-style buildings are no higher than the treetops) and the guest experience.

As is typical of the St. Regis, the latter is uncompromised. The guest rooms and suites offer Kodak-moment views of Bahia Beach and the El Yunque National Forest, a Puerto Rican treasure. The famed butler service, which is central to the St. Regis experience, allows suite guests to travel without staff, as everything is seen to by a personal butler on-site. St. Regis butlers seamlessly take care of the small details, such as packing and unpacking, pressing, drawing a bath or delivering morning beverages along with a wakeup call. Quite simply put, it’s a necessary luxury.

The Jean-Georges restaurant, Fern, nods to native cuisine but elevates it. Situated on the second floor of the Plantation House, with floor-to-ceiling doors that open up to a balcony overlooking the Atlantic, the restaurant is a modern interpretation of regional cuisine. The team of chefs, under the supervision of the master, procures locally sourced fish and pro-

duce, and prepares them in the haute-cuisine fashion Vongerichten has become known for.

One of the biggest surprises is the spa. At first glance, the building looks modest. This isn’t the kind of grand sanctuary with soaring ceilings and massive water features that we have seen in so many luxury resorts—but the feeling it imparts is incomparable.

The spa’s seven massage villas are situated around a courtyard with a reflecting pool and lush garden.

Doors open to embrace the outdoors for a feeling of utter peace and relaxation.

The Remède treatments are based on Puerto Rican traditions. One of the most blissful is Queen Loiza’s Royal Treatment, which incorporates a sugar scrub, an invigorating Vichy shower, and a cellulite-reducing and circulation-stimulating massage with 24-karat gold shimmer oil. Though the experience concludes when the glass of Champagne is presented, the afterglow lingers into the evening.

The St. Regis Bahia Beach is a jewel among its surroundings. And, considering how breathtaking the surroundings are, that’s saying a lot. stregis.com/bahiabeach u

CALLING 911 An all-new Porsche 911 arrives in February, but the king-of-the-hill Turbo S will keep on delivering the biggest thrills. BY HOWARD WALKER Think of it as the automotive equivalent of wisps of chalkywhite smoke wafting from the Vatican chimney. For the millions of Porsche fans around the globe, the arrival of an all-new Porsche 911 is nothing less than a religious experience.

If you are a Porsh-a-ista, you’ll already know the new specs by heart—15 more horsepower for the Carrera S, bringing the tally to a nice round 400; the world’s first seven-speed manual gearbox; 14 percent better fuel economy; and all four wheels pulled, Play-Dohlike, farther apart for even greater glued-to-the-asphalt handling.

Grown men are already waiting expectantly in line, like teens queuing for Lady Gaga tickets, to be first to have this seventhgeneration 911 in their driveway. Early cars arrive in February with a sticker starting at $82,100.

But for all the salivating and heart-palpitating expectation, I hate to break the news that, despite its extreme-ish makeover, this newcomer still isn’t the ultimate 911. For me, that honor continues to go to—drum roll please—the big-bang 911 Turbo S. A week spent in the company of this sultan of speed only re60

inforced the true awesomeness of this 530-horsepower, twin turbocharged, all-wheel drive $162,000 firefox.

But with the arrival of the all-new 911, isn’t this Turbo S yesterday’s hero, relegated to littering up dealer lots, waiting for fire sale discounts and free-iPad-with-every-one offers?

That’s not the way Porsche engineers work. They take their sweet time developing new models, so the current Turbo S is slated for at least another year’s worth of production. For someone not known for exactly embracing change—I still have a Motorola Razr flip-phone and like my chinos with pleats—that’s just fine with me.

For here is one of the most volatile, most exhilarating rides you could ever ask for. Work it right, making use of its bottle-rocket “launch control” software to catapult you off the line, and you can run zero-to-60 in a stupid-fast 3.1 seconds; any faster and you’d risk detached retinas and your “outie” turning into an “innie.”

Yet this is only half the performance story. Come up behind a slo-mo SUV or languid Lexus on a long stretch of two-lane black-

top, pull back twice on the seven-speed twin-clutch PDK’s paddle shifters, floor the throttle and feel the warp-speed, beam-me-upScotty thrust of 516 pound-feet of torque.

But I lie. There’s actually a third half—if that’s possible—to the Porsche’s performance story: everyday drivability. Unlike so many hard-edged supercars where daily driving is like going 10 rounds with Sugar Ray Leonard, the Turbo S is a pussycat.

Just leave the automatic in “drive” and it’ll glide contentedly in stop-go traffic with hardly a peep from the flat-six nuclear powerplant hanging out the back. The steering is light and precise, the ride won’t beat you up and on the highway, you’ll average 25 to the gallon.

And the cozy cabin is a masterpiece of simplicity and style. Here, seats hold you like a big hug from an old friend, and the driving position is as close to perfection as you can get. Then there are all the little touches of luxury, like gorgeous two-tone leather and Alcantara trim, a thumping Bose surround sound stereo and a timing chronograph smack in the middle of the dash that I’d give anything to wear on my wrist.

But if you’re searching for Turbo S nirvana, find yourself a piece of twisting blacktop—and you may have to go to Georgia to find it— punch the “Sport” button and enjoy. The button pushing instantly

stiffens the shocks, sharpens the throttle response, increases the turbo boost and delivers even quicker transmission shifts. Ask it nicely, and it might even mop your brow.

Of course you need a proper racetrack to come even remotely close to exploring the handling limits of this magical machine.

Don’t worry. Your average interstate on-ramp will let you revel in the Turbo’s all-wheel drive traction and the standard Porsche Active Suspension Management system that makes minute millisecond adjustments to the suspension to optimize the handling.

Yes, you can wait till next fall for the all-new Turbo S to land. And there’s no doubt it’ll be worth the wait. But with a car this good, life’s too short to wait around.

Instant gratification is a wonderful thing. u

A VERY GAGA EVENING With the help of The Breakers’ Jeff Fowler, Michelle and Peter Farmer host an intimate dinner at their Hamptons home.

By Paige Bowers | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER 74

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Michelle and Peter Farmer wanted to christen their newly renovated Hamptons home and celebrate July Fourth by hosting an intimate dinner party with their closest friends. The couple envisioned a beautiful evening in their backyard, something that wasn’t too fussy or overdone. So they enlisted The Breakers’ event planner Jeff “Gaga” Fowler, a man who isn’t exactly known for planning low-key affairs.

“Jeff and I have done parties together before,” says Michelle, owner of Michelle Farmer Fine Jewelry. “I know that he does things that are crazy and over the top, but I also know that he’s from Connecticut, so he

has a conservative side. When he and I sat down to plan our July Fourth party, it started off being a dinner for 20, and then it turned into a party for 200 with Cirque du Soleil performers and an ice cream truck in the backyard.”

At the height of that brainstorming session, Fowler recalls that Peter “eventually threw his hands up in the air and cried, ‘Enough!’ So then it went back to being a dinner party for 20. Peter is always the voice of reason.”

And that’s not to say the party the Farmers hosted was any less dazzling than the 200-person bash Fowler threatened to throw. Ask any guest and they’ll tell you that their hosts welcomed them warmly for an evening of great food and simple elegance. That alone was no small feat.

Workmen were putting the finishing touches on the Farmers’ Provencal-

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

style home up until the day before the party, Michelle says, making for a hectic few days in the typically laidback Hamptons.

“Up here, there are generally bonfires on the beach and dinners in the backyard and everything has a lowkey and elegant feel,” Michelle says.

“Nothing is over-prepared. There are no butlers passing hors d’oeuvres.

No one’s wearing fancy gowns.”

As workmen installed a bathroom sink, Michelle and Fowler scoured local farm stands for fresh produce and found perfect wine pairings at local vineyards. They picked fresh herbs from the Farmers’ garden and found smooth, gray beach stones to use for place cards. The stones— with guests’ names written in red ink—were placed on a long, Tuscanstyle wooden table that was arranged under an elm tree in the hosts’ backyard. Instead of hiring a florist, Michelle picked blue and lavender hydrangeas from her garden and arranged them in small aluminum buckets, interspersing them with cream-colored candles along a burlap runner that stretched the length of the table. Then, she arranged the place settings: red and white floralpatterned Spode plates on sterling chargers, white linen napkins tied with pearl and leather necklaces that Michelle designed, flower petals scattered just so.

Lighting designer and dinner guest Helen Gifford designed lights that were strung in the tree, evoking “a little fairy wonderland scene” as soon as the sun set and fireflies began to sparkle, Michelle says. “The key is to have everything that you work with—food, plates and flowers—be beautiful, but to not go overboard,” Michelle says.

The same rule held true for the food.

“We both love food and that was the basis for this dinner,” Fowler says. “We didn’t want it to be contrived. We wanted it to be stuff we loved, like homemade shortcake biscuits and things that were really homey and yummy and delicious.”

Guests arrived at dusk wearing low-key linen dresses or jeans, depositing gifts of Champagne (or in photographer Elena Lusenti’s case, one of her large, framed portraits) with the hostess before ambling out to the back porch for cocktails. Among the invitees: Lusenti, Gifford, publicist Shamin Abas, polo player Yvonne Morabito, Susan and Jack Whitmore, personal trainer Meagen Springer, wine dealer Michael Cinque and architect Paul Rogers, who redesigned the Farmers’ home. Together, guests sipped grapefruit martinis (or “Gagatinis”) and Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé (which Fowler jokes is the “water of the Hamptons”)

and nibbled on Bloody Mary oyster shooters, “Gaga” flatbread with caramelized onion and fennel, and citrus vinaigrette on wonton chips. Latin guitarists from Elan Artists provided the background music.

Then, a dinner bell signaled the main event. Once guests took their spot underneath the great elm tree, the plates of food started arriving: beet tarts, rocket salad with fresh herbs, beef tenderloin salad, grilled vegetables, grilled Maine lobster tails with mango barbecue sauce and watermelon carpaccio, roasted fingerling potatoes, a brown tomato and onion salad with Asiago cheese, and grilled corn on the cob.

Amagansett Wines flowed freely.

“Peter got up and did a beautiful toast, thanking everyone who was responsible for the house being perfect and for the perfect night,” Michelle says. “Of course, we had Gaga, who did all the cooking and who made everything fabulous.”

Fowler raced back and forth between his seat at the table and the kitchen, checking plates and whipping cream as guests savored the special night.

“It was such a great mix of people,” Fowler says. “The big thing about a dinner party is how you seat people.

And people were placed so that they could meet new people and make new bonds and friendships. I’ve already gotten a few Facebook friend requests since that night.”

Lighting designer Helen Gifford set the mood by stringing lights through the trees.

The party went on to the wee hours of the morning.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Fowler got other keepsakes too.

“When I travel anywhere for an event, I start a journal,” he says. “And the journal has all my inspiration and ideas and paperwork in it. I got so much information and inspiration for this party, the journal just evolved into this list of the awesome things I did in the Hamptons since I arrived. So at the end of the night, I passed it around the party and everyone signed something in it.”

The Farmers also got their share of mementoes. Michelle has a vintage California Job Case—a tray that was once used to hold hot type for printers—and often asks guests to place something in it before they leave.

“People added their beach rocks, flowers, business cards, wine corks and little notes tied in twine,” Michelle says. “My husband added a dead beetle.”

After dinner, guests circled around a fire

pit for espresso, more cocktails and dessert from a shortcake bar that was on the other side of the elm tree. As guests topped shortcake with sugared strawberries, blueberries and blackberries and dollops of vanilla bean and chocolate whipped cream, DJ Adam Lipson played music, which enticed people to dance.

“We hung out until 2 a.m.,” Michelle laughs, adding that a handful of polo players showed up for the post-dinner fun. “Everyone was talking and singing and with the fire going, it was really nice.”

The morning after, the remaining few were treated to homemade blueberry pancakes for brunch before heading off for a day at the beach. Although there were no fireworks from the night before, there didn’t need to be.

“Everything was just bright and beautiful and perfect,” Michelle says. u

VIVa la revolucion Tequila, Mexico’s signature spirit, wins over America.

Tequila Don Julio

By Mark Spivak

98

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

There’s a revolution brewing in the Mexican province of Jalisco, and it has nothing to do with social unrest or affairs of state.

Jalisco is where tequila is produced. In the area surrounding the town of Tequila itself, the soil is perfect for the cultivation of blue agave.

The agave plants are shredded and pressed, and the juice is first fermented and then distilled to make one of the world’s most popular spirits.

Tequila suffered from a negative image until very recently. It was the drink of college fraternity houses and low-end bars, and most of the tequila consumed in this country was of inferior quality. The white, unaged version was frequently downed in shot form, accompanied by a pinch of salt and a slice of lime, while a great deal of the “aged” tequila sold in America was actually flavored with caramel to simulate the appearance of barrel aging. In the

superior category of tequila (those made with 100-percent agave), there are basic gradations: blanco or plata (unaged), reposado (two months to one year in barrel), añejo (one to three years) and extra añejo (more than three years in cask).

Tequila’s status has changed radically in the past decade as a result of the appearance of super-premium brands such as Patrón. Its white tequila, Patrón Silver, is double distilled and then filtered to produce a clean, fresh taste. It is targeted toward upscale vodka drinkers, and with a price tag of $40, it’s not likely to show up in fraternity houses anytime soon. Other white tequilas aimed at the same market niche include Herradura Blanco ($35) and the tripledistilled Sauza Tres Generaciones Plata ($45).

There’s been a considerable change in the extra añejo category as well. It’s not unusual for tequila lovers to spend $80 to $100 for these

bottles, and some of the top examples rival the best cognacs in price and complexity.

José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia ($130) is aged five years in a combination of French and American oak; each bottle is dated, numbered and sealed in wax. Don Julio Real, made in a special still and aged for three to five years, sells for $350. Cuervo’s top blends, such as the 1800 Colección ($1,600) and 250 Aniversario ($2,500), can compete with the top spirits in the world. These tequilas are best savored in a snifter, without additions or distractions.

The popularity of tequila locally has reached critical mass with the opening of Cantina Beach at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami.

Good from Every Angle

A meal at this Ritz-Carlton restaurant is delightful any way you look at it.

BY mark spivak

Clockwise from top: scallop ceviche, Florida mahi mahi, 28-day dryaged New York Strip.

102 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

After a hiatus of nearly two years, Angle, the signature restaurant of the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach, reopened to the public January 15.

The rich decor is as elegant as ever.

Warm earth tones dominate the room, highlighted by gold accents. Intimate banquettes line the walls, and the Onyx Table (a communal dining space) is at the center.

The temperature-controlled wine wall occupies the side nearest the entrance, tempting diners with gems.

The new Angle is actually better than the original, which is no small feat. The credit is mostly due to the enormous talent of Executive Chef Ryan Artim, who

has been at the hotel since 2006. Artim uses market-fresh ingredients to create a subtle, intriguing blend of Florida and Mediterranean cuisine, changing the menu with the seasons. The dishes are carefully conceived and beautifully presented, with no detail overlooked or out of place.

During a recent visit, the summer menu was still in force. A brilliant scallop ceviche ($14) begins the meal, with slices of perfectly fresh shellfish arranged on a large scallop shell. Enhanced with the sweetness of white peach vinaigrette and balanced by paper-thin slices of jalape単o, this is a memorable dish. Equally impressive is Peace River soft shell crab ($18), tender and juicy, lightly breaded and fried, taken to another level by an earthy kumquat jam. A dish of homemade potato gnocchi ($13) is airy and fluffy, dressed with peeky-

“Now, this is lamb,” exclaimed my companion as she cut into her buttery, flavorful rack ($48), accompanied by the roasted loin and napped in a cardamom jus. Seafood is the restaurant’s specialty, and all the fish (with the exception of Chilean sea bass) is wild and line caught. Gold Coast swordfish ($28) is moist and perfectly cooked, rubbed with a savory mojo that contrasts nicely with a honey vinaigrette. Crisp french fries ($6), lightly flavored with truffle oil, complete the entrées nicely.

The wine list contains several hundred selections, balanced between California and France, and actually features some well-aged and reasonably priced Bordeaux. Of the three dozen wines by the glass, Whispering Angel Rosé from Provence ($10) and Kim Crawford

The management is very involved as well, even when it comes to serving dishes or clearing empty plates.

Designed as a “day bedroom,” this is a place to get out of the heat and sun, take a nap, do some reading, have a cup of tea or review one’s social calendar for an hour or an afternoon. The pale green color sets a cool, relaxed mood and serves as background for an eclectic collection of fine antiques mixed with modern elements. The antique French mirrors reflect the light in the space and create a feeling of openness, making the room appear larger than it is. The daybed floats in the center of the room to create maximum space and also allows the room to serve as a guest bedroom when family or friends create a “full house” and extra sleeping space is needed.

Rest Easily Leaving a ring on the table is poor form. Perch your cocktail on one of the colorful porcelain Jet Set coasters ($48 set of four) by Jonathan Adler. Miami (305-576-0200, jonathanadler.com)

Olive You A wooden toothpick or a plastic sword is for amateurs. A true cocktail lover spears an olive or a pearl onion with something a bit more substantial. We love the Card cocktail picks ($225 set of four) from Tiffany & Co. Palm Beach (561-6596090, tiffany.com), Palm Beach Gardens (561622-2533) and Boca Raton (561-362-4334)

Best Shots Measure out the perfect amount for a cocktail, or just take sips from these European crystal shot glasses ($40 each, $265 set of six) from Moser. The Pebbles collection evokes the image of the glass being carved from ice.

Ginn’s, North Palm Beach (888-625-6464, moserusa.com)

Shake it up A sturdy yet elegant cocktail shaker is a must. We love this William Yeoward English crystal shaker in the Kelly pattern ($850) with matching highball, double old fashioned (shown) and martini glasses ($175 each). Mary Mahoney, Palm Beach (561655-8288, marymahoney.com)

culture v digital Finger Painting Poinciana Paradise, aj brockman

AJ Brockman has turned a disability into an amazing ability with his artwork. He has a progressive disease called spinal muscular atrophy, which has slowly caused him to lose body movement, limiting his hand use to only two fingers on his left hand. But, using just those two fingers and a laptop, the 23-year-old Palm Beach Gardens resident creates art through a method he calls digital painting. He studies different perspectives and proportions of photos and videos, building an image that emulates a vintage photograph. Brockman, who has been wheelchair-bound since the age of two, graduated valedictorian from Digital Media Arts College in Boca Raton in 2009 and has gone on to win multiple local art awards. This month, he’s exhibiting at 110 East Gallery in Delray Beach, an invitation-only studio. ajbrockman.com —Jennifer Pfaff

Art of a Hero When Navy SEAL Joshua Harris was killed in August 2008 while serving in Afghanistan, he left behind three bronze stars, a purple heart and, to the surprise of many, dozens of pieces of art he had created.

Although fellow service members knew Harris, a petty officer, as the point man for his SEAL platoon, few knew about his art background.

Before joining the Navy in 2000, Harris earned a degree in studio art in 1994 from Davidson College, studying in Prague, France and New York. In honor of his talent, his family is showcasing his work in museums as a traveling exhibit called “Art of a Hero.” The display, which features various pieces, including charcoals and watercolors, will be shown at the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce through November 14. “Some of his paintings are enigmatic. There’s no description, so no elaboration as far as what he was trying to convey,” says Rolf Snyder, marketing and media director of the museum. (772-595-5845, navysealmuseum.com) —Jennifer Pfaff

“Thank You for Giving Me My Life Back” It’s been three months since I had hip replacement surgery, and I’m back doing the things I love most. Thanks to the dedicated team at the Bethesda Orthopaedic Institute, I received state-of-the-art care that had me out of bed just 6 hours after surgery.

Pittsburgh native Bridget Koch never seems to sit still.

When she’s not going for a run in Palm Beach or biking in the mountains of Colorado, she’s spending time with her husband, businessman Bill Koch, and their six children. Her active lifestyle could be attributed to her sports background: She was an assistant producer for NBC’s Sportsworld and worked at the 1988 Summer Olympics. She’s also an active fundraiser for the Palm Beach Zoo, and will serve as the honorary chairperson at the annual zoo gala and dinner dance, January 12, 2012, at The Breakers.
