“A memorable night doesn’t start when the guests sit down; it starts when they walk in the door.”

“For Wilder, the most important part of any outdoor event is the lighting. It sets the tone, the mood, and the atmosphere, and helps your guests settle in and enjoy themselves. Creating an intimate environment in the great outdoors—or your deck, backyard, or rooftop terrace—can be challenging. But we have a few lighting ideas to help you set the perfect mood for your nighttime gathering.”

Jean Jullien “When it comes to having a party, go bold, be extravagant, go over the top—have an extravaganza!”

Patrick Janelle

“An element of surprise is a way to engage guests and show that you’ve been thinking about them in advance. When I co-host Spring Street Social Society, we never tell guests where they are going until the morning of a gathering, and we often sprinkle surprise performances throughout the night.”

“Want to host beautifully? Get an accurate headcount before hosting your bash! Once you know how many guests you’ll be entertaining take my simple equation into consideration to calculate how much Stella Artois and liquor you’ll need to keep your party refreshed at all times. If your friends are as fun and festive as mine are, it’s better to err on the safe side and keep even a few more options tucked away out of

A STEP INSIDE THE EXPANSIVE BAY FRONT ESTATE THE TOWN IS TALKING ABOUT

BUILDER: RICHARD PERRONE, PERRONE CONSTRUCTION ARCHITECT: CLIFFORD SCHOLZ, CMSA ARCHITECTS

cqua Vita is as expansive as it is stunning. The estate is entered through a beautiful gated wall designed to compliment and enhance the overall feel of the spaces beyond, passing through this structure the home becomes the focus and the surrounding grounds beautifully accent it. As you drive the long paver drive to the home the grounds are highly manicured, a seamless mix of giant old oaks, cedar trees, ferns, lush mature vegetation as well as stately royal palms carefully chosen to compliment a yard that at once seems both natural as well as highly manicured.

The home itself is a nod to the beautiful Palm Beach beachfront estate homes that seem to carry an uncanny sense of barefoot elegance. The true to style architecture is the work of the highly regarded architectural firm CMSA and headed by its principal Cliffrod M. Scholz whom Perrone Construction has worked with for over 32 years out of their 37 years in business. “We have this philosophy that I promote in our company” says Richard Perrone “Start right, stay right. I believe one of the first steps in starting right is

choosing the right architect for any given project, we’ve worked with Cliff on many incredible homes, homes that are highly sought after in Sarasota. We work incredibly well with him and he is definitely a guy who just ‘gets it’. Working with them is always a pleasure and this project was especially fun and I think the end product really speaks to the ability and synergy of this team”

The master suites is immediately impressive. The second floor of the home is devoted to the master suite which includes its own utility room, office, balconies, sitting room and coffee bar.

Lynne Koy:

Attitude = Altitude By Nicole Carbon “If I had a crystal ball, I wouldn’t be a Realtor,” Lynne Koy said to a client just prior to our meeting. Lynne may not have a crystal ball, but what she does have is a strong work ethic, perseverance, and the ability to solve problems. She shared her story of how she built a prosperous business from the ground up, her philosophy, and the three sides to the triangle of her success. Lynne started in the real estate business in Chicago as a single mother with two children and was discouraged by her instructor to enter the industry as a woman in her position. It didn’t stop her, she went on to build a thriving business. “Courage is taking those first steps to your happiness or your dream, even if you can’t see the path ahead,” she shares. Years later, she made the move to Longboat Key to take care of her aging parents. Once again, she started from scratch, she didn’t know a thing about the area and had to rebuild her business, but quickly caught on to its appealing low-key vibe, and its thriving arts and cultural scene surrounded by some of the nation’s most beautiful beaches. Applying her determination and noseto-the-ground work ethic, she started her marketing efforts with letters to each of her neighbors in the condo where she was living on Longboat Key. It was 1985 and interest rates were 1820%, to say the market wasn’t bright is an understatement. One couple in the building recognized Lynne’s enthusiasm and work ethic and called her to list their condo. They took a chance on her, and it’s something she never forgets.

Lynne Koy (941) 544.5117 LKoy@ColdwellBanker.com www.LynneKoy.com Coldwell Banker Previews 201 Gulf of Mexico Drive Longboat Key, FL 34228

She references Tim McGraw’s song Humble and Kind, “When you get to where you are going, don’t forget to turn back around and help the next one in line.” “None of us do it alone,” she says about success. There were mentors and clients that helped along the way and Lynne admits to having two full-time assistants and a business partner. The community has been good to her and she gives back through her volunteer work, which is key to her work/life balance. Two of the organizations she supports include Safe Place Rape and Crisis Center (SPARCC) and Meals on Wheels.

Her attitude is key, she exudes happiness and joy, “There’s a joy about my life,” says Lynne. She’s also a perfectionist and realizes that perfection may be unattainable, but by trying, you might reach excellence. She strives to give her customer the “Best experience they have ever had.” “Communication is the key. I form a ‘partnership’ with my clients.” She has a triangle-theory strategy, the sides are a marketing plan and pricing, the base is the real estate agent and the company. A natural problem solver, she shares, “The way you treat your problems, determines their size.” Solving the clients’ problem of selling their home at the right price, she admits is a bit of a puzzle. When clients ask, when is a good time to sell, she says, “Now is the time; you can’t predict the future, there is no right time.” She’s been in the community for 32 years and lived on Bird Key for 17 of those. It’s where she does a majority of her $40 million-per-year business. She loves the neighborhood because of its walkability to downtown, its diversity with 525 home sites, and the Bird Key Yacht Club, offering much more than boating and tennis, there’s yoga, art openings, and kayaking. She also has a fondness for nearby St. Armand’s Circle, Lido, and Longboat Key, stating that Longboat boasts 10.5 miles of powder white sand, 56 holes of golf, and bays on either side. Most recently, she was awarded 941CEO’s Greater Good Award recognizing her outstanding service as a realtor out of 600 area realtors. In her next chapter, she looks forward to more time for volunteer work, international travel, and more time to spend with her eight-year-old granddaughter. She has a daily routine of solving a word puzzle and a morning workout. Not slowing down anytime soon she’s contemplating taking up

kayaking.

REAL | letter from the publisher

Getting REAL With Jack Dowd “Events Happen, Experiences Are Created.” Ed Bertha In a span of sixty days REAL Exclusive Magazine produced “Last Call” Recalled and Arts on the Bay. Both events featured renowned artwork from artist Jack Dowd. For “Last Call” Recalled we brought out of storage “Last Call”, a twenty two foot bar scene with 13 life size replicas of individuals Jack met while owning bars up north. When Dimmitt Automotive’s State Street Studio’s doors opened at 6:00 pm, the line waiting to enter spanned the length of State Street to Orange Avenue. It was a packed house and certainly the place to be that evening in Sarasota.

Waiting to enter “Last Call” Recalled

Next up at Arts on the Bay we displayed, in a gallery like setting, “27”. “27” consists of twelve large format paintings of musicians who departed earth at the tender age of 27. This event was hosted at Lynne Koy’s Acqua Vita bay front estate listing on Longboat Key. Estimates have two football fields of cars valet parked that evening. Once again, Arts on the Bay was the place to be that evening. What makes us different? It’s pretty simple. We don’t host an event. At REAL we produce an experience. When you’re looking at your next outing why not give Kim Burns (215499-0444) at REAL Exclusive Magazine a call? Together we’ll make you and your affair unique and memorable.

here are four elements to the proof of general negligence found in the common law:

1) Duty -- The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff; 2) A breach -- A failure to fulfil the duty; 3) Causation -- The breach led to the injuries; and

Each of the elements must be proved if an injured party is to prevail in a law suit for injuries based on any type of negligence. However, there are two situations in which the proof of negligence is simpler. The first applies to the violation of a nontraffic penal statute. Florida Standard Jury Instruction 401.8 makes such a violation “negligence per se”. Such a violation, if proved, is deemed to be proof of negligence, bypassing the first two elements listed above.

Building code violations do not reach the status of negligence per se, but it is obvious that there is great value in allowing such violations as objective standards to help determine the existence of negligence. A jury when presented with objective evidence of a code violation will have a much easier time finding for the injured party as opposed to a general case for which there may not be hard standards that can be applied. Whenever possible, an attorney representing an injured party will want to find an ordinance, statute or code that falls with these Instructions. Either one will provide a greater chance of success.

4) Damages -- A monetized value of the injury.

Building code violations, among others, are included in Instruction 401.9, by which the proof of a building code violation may be considered by the jury, together with the other facts and circumstances, when determining the existence of negligence.

REAL | financial By Craig M. Steinhoff

What Is Leadership?

We’re not all “born” leaders. So how can we identify the skills and qualities to take our organization to the next level?

together What is Leadership? Now that 2017 is upon us, its time to focus on making a fresh start. Develop personal and professional resolutions that you can accomplish. If you’re responsible for a team – either a stay-at-home mom running a household or a Corporate CEO running a multi-billiondollar entity, focusing on your leadership skills is likely a great place to start. Creating good systems for your team or drawing up effective operational guidelines that will help team members get through the day-to-day detail of their jobs are great management activities. However, leadership is more about creating and communicating a vision and motivating people to work towards it. Leadership is about developing highly motivated, goal oriented people, and creating a climate in which they can perform to their fullest potential.

Keep focus on solving problems, not on personal performance or assigning blame in a problematic situation. Demand openness. If a leader is quick to identify and address his or her own mistakes, he or she keeps a focus on results and reinforces everyone’s perception of honesty and integrity. Decision Making in an Open Atmosphere A culture in which everyone is focused on results and where team members are encouraged to openly debate, speak out and take risks, is known as a flexible environment. As a leader you need to be confident and command respect by being well informed about the key areas of your business. Demonstrating a desire for your own continuing education helps build a culture of a “learning organization”; lead by example in this area.

Developing a Vision

Mentoring Your Team

A leader’s primary purpose is to provide an overall sense of vision about the future direction of the company and to ensure that this vision is the bellwether for all strategic and operational decisions. It’s not always easy to formulate a direct, strategic vision statement.

Finally, a key aspect of leadership is mentoring. Mentoring means encouraging your team to take responsibility for improving their own performance, but also giving them guidance on how to achieve this. Reward success frequently and in an informal way. Organizations needs both good leaders and good managers; because of the rapid change occurring today.

Team members that don’t have a clear sense of the group’s vision often lack purpose, become frustrated and do not offer input that could improve policies and processes. This means more than hanging a wall plaque; it is communicating the vision at a high level and relaying the major strategies needed to achieve it. Motivation in the Workplace Another key goal in bringing team members together is to determine what values are important and then practice them, both individually and collectively. To set this process in motion, run workshops on organizational values, such as customer service standards or resolving conflicts, using different scenarios on problem situations and teaching the right and expected way to resolve them.

If you haven’t done so already, start the journey to being an effective leader by executing a strategic planning exercise to work out your organization’s vision, the goals you need to achieve to make it a reality, and the strategies you’ll use to achieve the goals. The more you practice, the more you will be able to effectively motivate the team towards achieving the goals needed for your continuing success.

FOOD IS MEDICINE – BENEFITS OF GHEE “Let medicine be thy food and let food be thy medicine” A term Hippocrates used to relay his belief that eating nutritious food is the basis for good health. For those of us with food allergies or intolerance, even the diets labeled as healthy or antiinflammatory can still cause problems. A food allergy triggers the immune system to react to the proteins in a food and causes a histamine reaction. It is usually more severe and immediate reaction with a small amount of the food whereas food intolerance may require a higher quantity of the food to cause problems. The symptoms are typically less severe and not life threatening. Because the two share similar symptoms, it can be difficult to distinguish between them. Some common symptoms are nausea, stomach aches, diarrhea, or runny nose. Food intolerance can also resemble age related digestive changes such as gluten and lactose intolerance due to under production of enzymes, bloating due to decreased elasticity, and constipation due to slowing of contractions in the large intestine. Whether it is allergy, intolerance or aging, decreasing the amount of food that triggers these symptoms is helpful to maintain good health. Butter is a popular ingredient in many recipes. It can be an allergen to some or just an intolerance due to casein (a milk protein) or lactose. A typical substitute for butter is oil. When replacing butter with oil, you may lose the richness butter gives the recipe as well as the ability to hold products together. When butter cools down, it solidifies making it great for cakes or other baked goods. Olive oil on the other hand, is a liquid in its heated state, as well as when it is cooled. Coconut oil is a popular replacement these days and comes closer to the properties of butter in that it also may solidify in a cooled state yet it has a very strong flavor which may change the taste of the recipe.

Ghee is a type of butter with milk solids (casein, whey, lactose) and water removed. It has a strong aromatic flavor and is able to replace butter on a 1:1 ratio yet typically you are able to use less Ghee compared to butter. Depending on the recipe, it may also need to be adjusted due to additional moisture Ghee provides. When utilizing Ghee to reduce your dairy intake, it is important to note that if you have an allergy you should be cautious with the product you choose as some Ghee may continue to have a small amount of proteins that you may react to. This is especially true if you are making your own at home. Some benefits of Ghee: •

Its high smoke point allows you to cook or fry with it without breaking down into free radicals.

•

It can improve digestion by increasing gastric acid.

•

It does not spoil easily so it does not need refrigeration.

•

It is rich in the oil soluble vitamins A, D and E.

•

If it is sourced from grass fed cows, it contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid – an antioxidant with antiviral properties

La Dolce Vita with Kimberly Burns and Sandra Halliday. Kim and Sandra will take readers on a journey through their reviews of restaurants and businesses along with other venues and products in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. In their first venture, the reader will experience unique reviewing of restaurants through conveyance of taste, texture, aroma, and visual presentation of a restaurant’s dishes. Entertaining insight on the ambience and the general impression of the restaurant, as well as on the staff ’s knowledge and attention to the diner’s needs, will engage the reader in a culinary journey. Promoting the Sarasota Region as one of the top South West Florida destinations for the well-travelled and discerning gourmand, as well as, promoting local businesses is their goal. Reviews will discuss whether the restaurant was successful in creating the dining ambience as marketed and if the staff had created a pleasant experience for the diner. The staff ’s knowledge will be tested in pairing wine with the menu and the reviewers will also seek to discover how the restaurant stands out from its competition. The discerning gourmand diner also wants to know the culinary tradition of the chef, his or her specialty dishes, training, and if s/he had worked internationally and if the chefs

support local farmers by purchasing locally farmed organic produce. Dining is a social event and we eat out to enjoy convivial moments with the good company of our friends and family. Kim and Sandra will discuss the wine list and the range and variety of the restaurant’s offering of adult beverages. Was the mixologist knowledgeable in recommending drinks when the customer had a particular preference on how s/he likes a cocktail prepared? For the diner who has health concerns, reviews will enlighten the reader on the restaurant’s selection of healthy meals, if the establishment will provide for alternate food choices and diets such as vegan or macrobiotic, have a glutenfree menu, and offer nutritional content or caloric amounts. Today’s diner is so much more informed on the impact of one’s diet and how it affects the health and well-being of the individual. Kim and Sandra’s discussion of their gastronomic experience will help the reader to decide if the restaurant being reviewed would be an establishment where one would want to visit and feel excited about having a wonderful time on a night out. Bon Appetit!

LBar has something for everyone. Leave your worries at the door and be ready for a good time. Pull up a chair, raise a glass, and cheers to the speak-easy times.

FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers Spelled Different Because We Are Different

It may be totally obvious but “Physical” by Olivia Newton John is the most popular physical therapy song.

Do you have aches and pains that are slowly starting to creep up? Maybe you’re not as agile as you were in your youth. You notice your waistline has slowly started to expand. Let’s face it, when the body starts to deteriorate and we feel it’s beyond our control, it can be a bit scary. It’s inevitable though; these are all parts of aging, right? Think again! You don’t have to suffer and accept what seem to be the “normal signs of aging”, there’s a way to stop this slow decline and repair and maybe even reverse the damage that has been done. A unique medical and scientific-based physical therapy organization, called FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, is providing solutions to what may seem to be unavoidable side effects of getting older. Here, the therapists are offering the distinct and comprehensive approach of, “fixing bodies and changing lives” and are achieving this with world class doctors of physical therapy and high tech orthopedic and balance Spokesperson and patient, Olivia Newton-John, age 69 is living proof of the results that take place when treated at a FYZICAL equipment. center.

Not surprisingly, there is a direct cofounder of FYZICAL. correlation between balance and injuries due to a fall. All FYZICAL therapists go through advanced training by Brian Werner, PT, MPT, National Director of Balance Center Programs and a recognized “guru” in the field of vestibular rehabilitation and research. This training allows for a deep knowledge on the diagnosis of patient disorders to determine the ideal treatment method. Below is a sample of the many scenarios associated with balance disorders. If you can answer yes to any of the questions below, FYZICAL therapy could help: ☐☐ Have you fallen more than once in the past year? ☐☐ Do you have difficulty sitting down or getting up from a seated or lying position? ☐☐ Do you have numbness or loss of sensation in legs and/or feet? ☐☐ Do you feel unsteady on uneven surfaces? Extensive specialist testing with state-of-the-art equipment and hands-on physical therapy are performed for improving balance and vertigo. In patients with chronic balance problems, only vestibular rehabilitation has shown to improve function and performance when compared to medical therapy or general exercises.

Balance therapy could also be beneficial to you if you: • • • • • • •

Live with vertigo or a balance dysfunction; Want to feel better and move better when you are out in the community; Need to recover from chronic dizziness; Want to overcome a disorder or neurological condition that is causing you to fall or fear falling; Have been in an auto accident or injured on the job and are experiencing dizziness; Want to improve your strength, endurance, and physical conditioning; Would like to prevent a risk of falling.

The therapists at FYZICAL realize how vitaly important balance is for independent living, as well as for work activities, walking, exercise, sports, and loving life in general. The Safety Overhead System (SOS) is a harness support system with an overhead track and moveable trolly that allows the patient, while in a secure harness, the ability to perform exercises without fear of falling down, which enables the Physical Therapists at Fyzical to gently push for progress. Other key benefits of the SOS include the following:

One of the ways patients rehab back-to-health is through a Therapy Pool Treadmill offered at this state-of-the-art center. Aquatic programs are personalized to fit the needs of each patient.

Patients can trust that they are in good hands. This empathetic nature is carried on throughout the treatment. Concerns are addressed with compassion, from being in pain, to not being able to lift your grandchild, to the fear of falling when stepping up onto a curb. When a patient graduates from their injury recovery, there are often happy tears because of the transformation back to their normal lifestyle or better. Word

COOLSCULPTING

Now FDA-cleared to treat upper arm fat with the release of the “new” CoolAdvantage Petite Applicator

Renowned Harvard University scientists, Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD, observed that some children got dimples due to eating popsicles. The idea that cold can selectively affect and eliminate fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue was the insight behind Cryolipolysis®, the proven science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based.

oolSculpting is the innovative cooling process developed by scientists at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you. The “new” Cool Advantage Petite applicator was designed specifically to protect the delicate structures of the arms during treatment. It may interest you to know that arms are the third largest area of concern for over 14M people surveyed. The Cool Advantage Petite applicator is the latest addition to the Cool Advantage family. The Cool Advantage family of applicators offer shorter treatment times, greater patient comfort and treat more tissue than the parallel plates applicators. The Petite comes with two interchangeable contours designed to uniquely treat the upper arm area in just 35 minutes.

The CoolSculpting procedure is: • • • • • •

Taxing Matters For Non-Residents What season Is it? Some might say “Spring” as temperatures are in the 70s, others may say “Tourist Season” as they sit patiently in heavy traffic, but as I write this article I am working on my annual accounts, so I would say “It’s Tax Season!”

t is this time of year when I get questions from some of my overseas customers who are working on their tax returns too, and I thought it might be useful to spend a few minutes looking at how foreign real estate owners are viewed by the U.S. tax system. First, I must say I am a REALTOR® and not a CPA or tax advisor. When tax questions arise, I refer my customers to an expert in this field. I have worked for many years with Renea Glendinning, CPA who heads the international tax practice of Kerkering Barberio from their offices in downtown Sarasota. I thank Renea for allowing me to reproduce some of her sage advice here. Foreign residents who own real estate in the United States generally pay taxes when that property generates income, when they sell the property and make a capital gain, and potentially at the time of their death. Most of us are familiar with filing our annual Federal tax returns. It may surprise you to know that a foreign owner of real estate who receives rental income may choose whether to file an income tax return or not! How so? U.S. tax laws allow a foreign owner, or his rental agent, to simply remit 30% of all rental income directly to the IRS. While this negates the need to file a tax return, it is not always the most efficient approach from a tax perspective. Many overseas landlords choose to file an itemized return and benefit from deductions which can include property taxes, mortgage interest, repairs, depreciation and other expenses. A strong real estate market coupled with the strength of the U.S. Dollar means this

could be a good time for foreign owners to sell their property here and realize a capital gain. The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) was enacted in 1980, and revised last year, to ensure that foreign owners who dispose of real estate assets pay any capital gains tax due, prior to repatriating funds to their home country. This is achieved by a “withholding”. Simply put, at the closing of a real estate transaction, the closing agent withholds 10% or 15% of the sale price of the property and remits this amount to the IRS. The amount held usually far exceeds any tax which will be due. The seller then files a tax return showing the capital gain and actual tax due. The IRS deducts tax due from the withheld amount and refunds the balance to the seller. Sounds easy, but the process can be tedious and it may be a long time before the seller of real estate receives his funds from the IRS. The good news for foreign sellers is that there are some things that can be done to reduce the amount of the withholding. Your tax advisor can assist with this, but do consult with them sooner rather than later. Don’t wait until a few days before

38 | REAL EXCLUSIVE | GetRealExclusive.com

closing, or worse, once the withholding has been made. While income and capital gains tax calculations are very similar for U.S. residents and non-residents, that is not the case for estate tax. For instance, the U.S. tax resident enjoys a significant tax exemption on the value of their estate. Not so for most non-residents. This is an area where foreign owners would most definitely benefit from detailed tax planning with their CPA or tax attorney. Estate tax planning can be done at any time. For example, how you hold title to a property can have a significant effect on estate taxes. If you already own real estate, title can be changed to provide a more efficient estate tax strategy – it is not too late. Whatever season it is, let’s hope it’s not too taxing!

Bride Makeup Trial

makeup trial is a session with a potential makeup artist. Trials generally give the bride a sense for how the makeup artist would apply her makeup on her wedding day.

You can save some of the images from Pinterest, Instagram, Magazines any image can exemplify your desire for the final look…

Some makeup artists are also hair stylists, allowing them to do a hair trial as well.

3. Know your “don’ts - Print some examples of styles you don’t like and the MUA must avoid at all costs.

Makeup trials can range between $85 - $150. You can have as many makeup trials as you want to determine which artists are more suitable to your taste. 1. Know your skin - Be sure to tell the Makeup Artist (MUA) what type of skin you have and any other important information about your skin. They will decide what products to use on you based on this information. 2. Know your style - Do some research before the trial and bring some pictures, some examples of the styles you like. Even though you may have mastered the art of applying your own makeup, you might not be translating your style accurately when it comes to your makeup trial. Getting across the look you like to the experts can be tricky! To learn how to make the most of your makeup trial — and how to avoid the most common makeup trial mistakes.

Believe me that can save you a lot of misunderstanding and disappointment…….

Be Specific You may say natural but want false individual lashes at the same time. Rather than describing what you want as “smoky” or “natural” and using words that might be interpreted differently by the expert, you should start by telling the artist which features you want to accentuate and/or play down. For example, you can say that you want your eyes to pop, and she may recommend a more dramatic eye and neutral face and lips. Try to be as specific as possible in your verbal descriptions.

3. Take Pictures That is how you will remember months from now the look you like for the final wedding day. I also suggest to my brides that they buy the lipstick or lip gloss we used at the trial, so they can have it for touchups. Book your trial from two months to two weeks prior to the wedding date. Hair and makeup trials are a lot of fun! They are also a very important appointment. The trial day is to create just what you want in radiant bridal makeup and beautiful bridal hair styling. It is to create the best look personalized specially for you. The trial gives both you as the bride and MUA the opportunity to get to know each other and feel completely comfortable. “ Remember Speak Up ”

2. Bring the Goods Provide as many props and visuals as possible, including makeup products you love, as well as magazines with your favorite looks.

Spring Has Sprung LOOK fresh and hopeful for the spring season of 2017!

“REMEMBER THAT COLOUR IS A VITAL PART OF A SPRING WARDROBE; IT’S A SEASON OF NEW LIFE AND VIBRANCY.”

T’S officially spring and it is now time for rejuvenation and fresh-starts.

Spring is the transitional period, the time of year where we have the opportunity to start anew and reinvent ourselves. Think light fabrics: cotton, poplin, merino, and other soft and supple materials. Patterns add much-needed colour to your outfitthink floral, paisley, camo, tattersall, flecked, and feathered, – but beware of overdose; no one wants to look like a peacock.

I’m not saying that you should completely rehaul your wardrobe, but there is no better time to rejig your style and shed the weight of last year’s faux pas after 2016’s final Springtime in 2017 is all about that curtain. vibrancy and the colour! Your clothes can All of your chunky knits, parkas, fluffy socks and darkest colours should be stored away to make room for the lighter pieces, both in weight and colour.

reflect this perfectly and correspond to the mood and shades of the season ahead. If all else fails pastels are your best friend. As spring is balanced on the edge of winter and summer, balance is the key to your outfits. Balance pastels with reliable neutrals like grey, beige, and stone. Khaki is seeing a resurgence, which is good news as it’s so versatile, viable for professional looks or more of a street style flavour.

Down with dull and drab, up with fresh and zesty! It’s time to shop for spring 2017 fashion

trends. There are tons of totally wearable— looks that you can get our hands on. Let’s take a peek at my three (3) favorite spring fashion trends for some outfit ideas, and start planning and plotting our style for spring 2017.

One Shoulder The spring 2017 fashion trends have an answer to this summer’s off-the-shoulder phenomenon: the one-shoulder top or off-the-shoulder dress like shown here. The options range from ‘80s-inspired to deconstructed shirting. Vibrant Stripes You’ll find stripes this spring season, but I remember the last time they were this bright and bold. They’re especially fresh in the form of a knit dress. Romantic Patchwork We saw florals for fall and we were convinced the look was anything but hippie dippy. Which is why I am very happy to see them return for spring in the form of floaty dresses at labels like No. 21 (with sequins no less) and Rag & Bone. My REAL Style readers - Spring has Sprung! Be bold and experiment with different styles and aesthetics. This is the season to look fresh and hopeful! Becca Z. Towery Fashion Stylist/Image Consultant

REAL | comedy

Comedian Steve Mittleman Stand Up Comedy At Its Best EB: Hi Steve. So let’s get to it. How long have you been doing stand-up? SM: I started on December 16th, 40 years ago. EB: You remember the very first day. Wow! SM: I do. It meant a lot. I think I wanted to do stand-up right out of the womb. EB: How did you get into this line of work?

By Ed Bertha

hen LA’s Comedy Store hosted auditions for Steve Martin’s film ‘Roxanne’, dozens of great comics, Steve Mittleman included, faced a professional’s worst enemy, lack of time to prepare. The Store also had a limited number of spots for auditions. Steve stopped by anyway, someone cancelled, and he got the shot. After the auditions, the film’s producers asked for only one comedian they’d seen that evening. Before he knew it, Mittleman found himself hauling a fire hose around Canada playing the quirky fireman in Steve Martin’s hit film. Let’s spend a few minutes with Steve Mittleman.

SM: Line by line. Joke by joke. Stage time and more stage time. Back in the day there were the clubs in NY and I’d go on 10 – 15 times a week. You get pretty good after a few years. Back then that evolved into getting comedy club gigs. I went from not working to headlining after I won The Big Laff-Off on Showtime. It was a very exciting time. The goal back then was to do Carson. That took me a while. In the meantime I become a road warrior. I was also fortunate because as I was developing my stand-up and style I had done about 50 national commercials. That gave me the income to pick and choose where and when I wanted to go on the road. I was a real character and fell into all that TV and the exposure doesn’t hurt. EB: I see you do endless shows. SM: Thousands. I still love it. I think comedy saved my life. Classic unaffectionate home and making my family laugh was a way of bonding with them. I was the youngest – many comics are the youngest. Lotta therapy. I seem to be much more at peace and have a lot more perspective of late. Maybe I’m maturing? Is that possible? EB: Aside from the commercials you look so familiar. Where else have we seen you? SM: I’ve been on over a hundred TV shows (Carson, Leno, Letterman, HBO, Showtime, etc.) and on a few sitcoms (ie. Mad About You), in some movies - most notably Roxanne with Steve Martin. I’m one of the rare comics that appeared on The Tonight Show with both Carson and Leno. I miss Johnny. My idol happened to also be a fan of mine. I also loved Jack Benny and Rodney. Jackie Mason too. There’s too many great comics to count. EB: It turns out Dangerfield got a lot of respect. What do you focus on lately? SM: In addition to clubs, I travel the country doing corporate gigs and private parties. I’ll do an awards show, an employee appreciation, a 50th anniversary, a 90th birthday – you get the idea... I’ve become very malleable. I can customize material. Even host and will do auctions. Always learning new things over the years. I’ve become a seasoned pro with I believe a great track record.

EB: I browsed some of your testimonials. SM: I’m grateful for happy customers. There’s good word of mouth. All I need is good lighting, good sound and an audience. EB: What’s coming up? SM: Jeff Foxworthy just asked me to be part of the rotation on his XM Comedy Channel. That’s great exposure. EB: You know him? SM: Started out together. I recently bumped into Jeff in Maui. I was there for a gig and he was at the same resort on vacation with his family. He’s a true gentleman. EB: TV coming up? SM: I’m working on a set for Fallon. That means I’ll have appeared on The Tonight Show with 3 of the hosts. It’s a kick and great exposure. I remember watching it when I was so young. I think I was 10. EB: What’s the strangest thing you’ve done in your career? SM: I had a makeover on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. EB: Your home? SM: My face! Now I have a chin! EB: Really? I thought that was some of your signature material. Chin was weak huh? SM: Weak? It used to take me 3 - 4 hours to change a pillowcase! EB: So funny. But you look handsome now and you’re still funny? SM: Yes, it made me better. Forced me to grow. I didn’t just want to do self-deprecating material anymore. EB: Can we see your makeover anywhere? SM: It’s online, on my web site, www.SteveMittleman.com. EB: Now I’m curious. SM: You can see me on YouTube on Larry King too talking about it. I’m with all the doctors from the show. I have a good dozen funny tapes on YouTube. EB: Well, I hope to see you live sometime soon. SM: Sounds like a plan. In the interim check out all my videos on YouTube. There’s quite a few!

“Jack Dowd is a contemporary social realist; a connoisseur of American types; the boisterous, eccentric, innocently hilarious individuals who rarely become the subject of art. Dowd celebrates America’s idiosyncratic extended family in his ongoing series of full sized figures, with affection, humor and satiric wit. His insight into the human psyche gives Dowd the ability to create a depth of character in sculpture so profound that he is now considered one of the most significant artists of the 21st Century.”
