Tennessee’s First SMILE New and Minimally-invasive Surgery for Myopia (Nearsightedness) is First Major Advance in LASIK Technology in 25 Years, Reducing Dependence on Glasses and Contacts short pulses is used to make small incision in the cornea to create a disc-shaped piece of tissue. This tissue is then removed by the surgeon though the opening which causes the corneal shape to change, permanently changing the prescription. SMILE has a proven track record of success. It has been used internationally since 2011 and more than 750,000 procedures have been performed worldwide. Dr. Wang noted that currently, the procedure has not been approved to treat large amounts of astigmatism and cannot treat farsightedness and that LASIK is still a better option for a majority of the patients seeking laser vision correction.
The first major advance in LASIK technology in 25 years, the SMILE procedure, was performed in Nashville recently at Wang Vision 3D Cataract & LASIK Center by its director, internationally renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Ming Wang, Harvard & MIYT (MD, magna cum laude); PhD (laser physics). “We are extremely very excited to be the first again to introduce the next generation laser correction procedure to the state, helping out patients with this new and minimally invasive procedure,” said Dr. Wang. Myopia is a common eye condition in which close objects can be seen clearly but distant objects are blurry without correction. LASIK and PRK have been the main stay treatments for myopia for over two decades. But SMILE, which stands for SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction, has unique advantages over LASIK. The SMILE surgery is minimally invasive as the surgeon needs only to create a small, precise opening to correct vision. No flap is needed. The laser incision is smaller than 5 millimeters for SMILE, compared to approximately 20 millimeters for LASIK. This
helps the cornea to retain more of its natural strength and reduces the risk of rare flap complications. Dry eye after SMILE is also reduced compared with LASIK, as nerves responsible for tear production during the cornea remain more intact in SMILE. One of the state’s first SMILE patients was Margaret Coleman, 34, a manager of the world-famous Bluebird Café, in Nashville, which was prominently featured in the ABC TV drama “Nashville”, among others. Ms. Coleman has had poor eyesight all of her life, legal blind in both eyes without correction. Ms. Coleman’s 3D Laser SMILE procedure went beautifully and she is thrilled to have her crystal clear new vision and newly gained independence on glasses or contacts and being one of the first patients in the state to receive SMILE!
Dr. Ming Wang, a Harvard & MIT graduate (MD, magna cum laude), is the CEO of Aier-USA, Director of Wang Vision 3D Cataract & LASIK Center and one of the few laser eye surgeons in the world today who holds a doctorate degree in laser physics. He has performed over 55,000 procedures, including on over 4,000 doctors. Dr. Wang published 8 textbooks and a paper in the world-renowned journal Nature, holds several US patents and performed the world’s first laser-assisted artificial cornea implantation. He established a 501c(3) non-profit charity, Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration, which to date has helped patients from more than 40 states in the U.S. and 55 countries, with all sight restoration surgeries performed free-of-charge. Dr. Wang is the Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.
“I am so happy!!!”, exclaimed Margaret at her postop visit. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the VisuMax Femtosecond Laser for SMILE procedure for -1 to -8 D myopia with up to 0.5D astigmatism. During a SMILE procedure, a femtosecond laser with precise

Rest and Recover Finding a happier, healthier you this summer We blinked and Swan Ball was here again! There were plenty of exciting surprises in store for the 55th annual gala, chaired by Jody Hull and Amy Liz Riddick, not the least of which was the unveiling of the renovated Cheekwood Mansion. Guests also enjoyed seeing Carolina Herrera in the crowd and a performance from Sheryl Crow. And in a Swan Ball first, there were televisions set up in the tent so guests could watch the Preds play! We’ve got the full story about the Swan Ball (page 61), the Patrons Party (page 54), the Auction Party (page 51) and the Jewelry Party (page 18). And since everyone looks their absolute best at the Swan Ball, it seemed like the perfect issue to focus on health and beauty. For our feature, we’re taking you inside

East Nashville’s Lemon Laine (page 72) sells all-natural beauty products, cosmetics, oils, snacks and supplements in the prettiest little boutique I’ve ever seen. Belle Meade’s Pure Float + Sweat Studio (page 76) is sharing the healing benefits of infrared saunas and float therapy, and Rhapsody Spa (page 74) is bringing relaxation to downtown Nashville. Unwind at one — or all three — this summer. If you’re not quite ready to let go of the lively spring schedule, relive the excitement of events like Broadway Brunch (page 26), Generous Helpings (page 30), Ladies’ Spring Outing (page 37) and more.

What is your philosophy about beauty? That the goal is to look like the best version of you. The point of meeting with me is to establish a plan to create and maintain an overall healthy appearance. I often see the domino effect — once someone’s skin improves, their diet improves, the sleep routine improves and so on. I live for hearing people tell me that their mental and physical health improved after starting a professional relationship with me. What is the beauty product you can’t live without? Sunscreen. I’m obsessed with preventing premature skin aging and skin cancer that is associated with UV exposure. Plus, my SPF product doubles as my makeup, so it’s something I use daily.
What is your favorite place to grab cocktails in town? Saint Añejo, especially for brunch. Pair their kale salad with chicken with a cocktail! Of course, I’m currently ordering sparkling water with crushed orange slices since I’m pregnant.
What is one beauty trend you wish would go away? Tanning. I admit that I’m guilty of visiting tanning beds — even though I was in high school at the time! I even believed that the tanning bed helped clear breakouts, but there is still no truth to this theory. Tanning can actually lead to enlarged pores and, on an even more serious note, it increases your risk of melanoma.
When you have out-of-town guests visiting, where do you love taking them? L.A. Jackson. Even though I’ve been in Nashville for 15 years, I still find the view stunning. I also love the swanky décor and their playlist (nothing tops old school rap and Champagne).
What is the most common question you hear from patients? “What do I need to do to be happy with the appearance of my skin without wearing makeup?”
What is your favorite locally made product? Meaningful Randomness by Sabrina James. Her jewelry ranges from simple and sexy to artful and bold. I always say she makes wearwith-everything jewelry. And also, Thread Co., which was co-founded by my girlfriend Gracie Moakler. They’ve created a clothing collection that’s office-appropriate yet casual, and the clothing is made in Nashville.
What are the new treatments/ products that you’re really excited about? Advancements in technology for dermal fillers. Companies are creating fillers that provide longer-lasting and more natural-looking results.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A marine biologist. I lived in Arizona until I was 14 and spent a lot of time in San Diego. When I wasn’t attempting to body board on the San Diego beaches, I was wandering the Birch Aquarium where I learned about the ocean world.

Sunset Safari Kick-Off 5.10.17
a flock of co-chairs and a herd of host committee members descended upon the home of Rick Hart to kick off this year’s Sunset Safari. The 20th anniversary of this popular party — where adults and animals mingle with one another at the Nashville Zoo — promises to be the best yet. It’s never a zoo event without some of its inhabitants in attendance, and the kick-off was no exception. A stunning hyacinth parrot, cuddly de-scented skunk and an enormous red-tailed boa constrictor joined in the fun.

Pinwheel Garden Party 5.20.17
Torrential downpours couldn’t dampen the spirits of partygoers at Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee’s annual Pinwheel Garden Party. Everyone enjoyed cocktails and hors d’œuvres and remained nice and dry under a tent set amid Julia and John Morris’ lovely gardens. While lawn games and rock skipping were no longer an option, the rain did not deter a rapid-fire live auction featuring a signed guitar from Kenny Chesney and signed gear from Brad Paisley followed by bluegrass tunes from The Grass Stains.

Beth Curley’s Retirement Party 5.22.17
more than 150 well-wishers gathered at Nashville Public Television to honor Beth Curley upon her retirement from the organization. Lush arrangements from Phillipe Chadwick and Nick Maynard’s Electric Flora lit up the station’s studios. While everyone noshed on hearty bites from Bacon & Caviar, Beth explained she won’t be taking it easy. Her next project is raising funds for NPT’s documentary on Tennessee’s women’s suffrage movement slated for release to coincide with the anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment. by Holly Hoffman photographs by Daniel Meigs

Brew at the Zoo 6.2.17
It was a picture-perfect night for Brew at the Zoo, where nearly 3,500 party animals came out to enjoy the after-hours, adults-only party at the Nashville Zoo. More than 60 craft breweries — including local faves Yazoo, Black Abbey and Jackalope, among others — were on tap to serve up 2-ounce pours of their popular beers. Guests explored the park, including the new spider monkey exhibit, making sure to load up on sustenance from some of the city’s best food trucks in between tastings. by NaNcy Floyd photographs by Jen McDonalD

Miss Martha’s Ice Cream Crankin’ 6.11.17
With blazing temperatures reaching nearly 100 degrees, what better way to spend an afternoon than surrounded by homemade ice cream? Thankfully, Miss Martha’s Ice Cream Crankin’ provided all the tasty treats imaginable at the annual family-friendly fundraiser. This year, Steve Morris took home the grand prize with his mouth-watering creation: 2x Chocolate Cherry Oreos and Cream. For more than 15 years, Purity Dairy has partnered with East Nashville-based nonprofit Martha O’Bryan Center to discover new ice cream flavors and, more importantly, raise money to help transform the lives of those living in poverty through work, education, employment and fellowship. by KathleeN albrIttoN photographs by Daniel Meigs

Nothing Like It Enjoying the unpredictability of live theater at Nashville Rep’s Broadway Brunch Rick and Vicki Horne
A
s Representative Jim Cooper said to a rapt crowd at Nashville Rep’s Broadway Brunch, “There is nothing like live theater.” We couldn’t agree more. The lively crowd at this new annual tradition got a firsthand taste of just how exciting live theater can be during this breakfast-and-a-show event. Attendees started off the fun on a Sunday by sipping mimosas and bloody marys at City Winery. The powerhouse crowd included a lot of heavy hitters, including many of Nashville’s strong female leaders like the Belcourt’s Stephanie Silverman, TPAC’s Kathleen O’Brien, NPT’s Beth Curley, Conexión Américas’ Renata Soto and the incomparable Martha Ingram. Event chair John Lasiter kicked off the festivities with a few words of welcome before introducing another powerhouse lady: artistic director René Copeland, who he referred to as “the epitome of all that is theater in this town.” René riled up the crowd with her spunk and charisma as she revealed the shows that the Rep will be producing in the 2017-18 season, including a hot new adaptation of Sense & Sensibility (“not your mother’s Jane Austen,” she promised), the political satire Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, the witty Smart People that explores the nature of race, and Inherit the Wind, a collaboration with Lipscomb that will close the season. (Fear not, the always-popular A Christmas Story will be returning as well!) After presenting the Applause Award to Kathleen O’Brien for her leadership and commitment to the Rep, René turned over the stage to Megan Murphy Chambers, Tim Fudge, Shawn Knight, Jennifer Whitcomb-Oliva and Martha Wilkinson. The five actors started their Broadway revue with a performance of “Say Yes” that required a little audience participation, something that wasn’t hard to obtain in this boisterous crowd (and something the actors joked would warm everyone up to say “yes” to the impending live auction). The cast took turns performing show tunes before they began chanting, “We want Billy,” the intro to “All I Care About” from Chicago. Fortunately, Rep fave Eddie George was in the crowd and happy to reprise his Broadway role as Billy Flynn. He jumped up on the stage and belted out the tune, much to the ecstatic delight of the crowd, reminding all of how unpredictable and entertaining live theater can be. There is truly nothing like it!

Building Bridges Waverly Crenshaw honored at Francis S. Guess Bridge to Equality Luncheon
L
ast year, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee held the inaugural Francis S. Guess Bridge to Equality Luncheon to benefit the fund created in memory of the much-beloved community leader. Francis worked tirelessly building bridges and connecting others to help create equality, and the luncheon honors an individual who similarly impacts their community. Family and friends, including those nearest and dearest to Francis, filled the Music City Center for the second annual luncheon where Waverly Crenshaw received the Bridge to Equality Award. A Nashville native, Waverly dreamed of becoming an attorney as a child. The graduate of McGavock High School, Vanderbilt and its law school has had an impressive career crossing bridges in both professional and social worlds. In April, he became the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. When not practicing law, he makes a profound impact connecting people as a community and philanthropic leader. The luncheon was a celebration of the legacy of Francis and the work of his great friend, Waverly. While guests enjoyed a hearty lunch from MCC’s chef Max, a thought-provoking video played with city leaders and citizen activists answering the questions: “What is equality?” “Who helped build your bridge to equality?” and “What more needs to be done?” Considering the many lives Waverly has touched, the list of potential speakers for the event must have been lengthy. Five individuals who have crossed and built their own bridges to equality — Paul Galloway, Jared Mollenkof, Charlie Strobel, Beverly Keel and Jayme Coleman Williams — were selected. Following a brief video, inaugural award recipient Ben Rechter presented the award and passed the baton to Waverly. As she bid the packed ballroom farewell, emcee Vicki Yates reminded guests that many of them were beneficiaries of bridges that Francis built and encouraged “each and every one of us to look for opportunities to connect people, like Francis did and Waverly does, every day.”

Dining Out Sampling 30 restaurants in one night at Generous Helpings
T
hese days, it seems like the most common question in Nashville revolves around where to eat dinner. Second Harvest removed the guesswork at Generous Helpings, where chair Amanda Virgillito and her small but mighty team of volunteers brought together 30 of the hottest restaurants in town under one roof. “We commit to working with locally owned restaurants,” Amanda said, pointing out that there were four restaurants at the event that hadn’t even opened yet. “What I love about this event is that it’s spread out; you can mingle and really get to know the chefs and where the food comes from. You can basically dine at 30 restaurants in one night.” And that’s exactly what everyone did. Guests arrived at City Winery to find both floors taken over by the event, with restaurants serving up bite-sized dishes both upstairs and downstairs. On the savory end of the spectrum, Barcelona — the chic Edgehill Village wine bar — dished out Porter Road Butcher sausage paella from the largest paella pan we’ve ever seen. Tánsuo˘, the new upscale Chinese restaurant from Maneet Chauhan, showcased its inventive take on unsuspecting dishes with a flavorful Sichuan cucumber salad while right beside them Two Ten Jack put a Japanese spin on potato salad served alongside their divine chicken meatballs. There were mini grilled cheese sandwiches (cooked up fresh for each guest by The Grilled Cheeserie), burger sliders courtesy of City Winery and plentiful plates of pad thai from Thai Esane. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper meal without dessert, and there were plenty of sweet offerings available. Samples from Christie Cookie, Olive & Sinclair and Goo Goo Cluster were snatched up enthusiastically in addition to more elaborate desserts ranging from panna cotta (Etc.) to strawberry shortcake (Holler & Dash and Salt & Vine). Guests left with full bellies, a full list of where to dine next and the satisfaction of contributing to the $92,000 that was raised for Second Harvest’s mission to end hunger in Middle Tennessee.

Celebrating a Year of Work Alumnae collections dazzle at the O’More Fashion Show
W
ith storm clouds looming outside, attendees took their seats at the annual O’More College of Design Fashion Show, anxiously awaiting the start of the students’ runway shows. The culmination of a year’s worth of work, the evening began with O’More faculty member Kevin Crouch as he presented several stunning gowns with hats and fascinators benefiting the upcoming Steeplechase festivities. Spectators were touched by the GiGi’s Playhouse Project show, where students within the network of Down syndrome achievement centers modeled the looks themselves. Every piece was designed with the individual model in mind and took into account the specific challenges children with Down syndrome face. Guests witnessed princesses, kings and ninjas twirl down the runway, grinning from ear to ear. Amax models floated through the rooms of the storied O’More home in luxurious garments crafted using Eastman Naia cellulosic yarn, made from renewable wood pulp. Student Ashleigh Cain was awarded the 2017 Naia from Eastman Scholarship, and her pleated camel-colored evening gown shone on the runway. Notable alumnae amazed attendees with their varied collections. Jessica Bornick presented her Owelette capsule collection of whimsical mother-daughter clothing while Jamie Frazier and Hannah Jones of Jamie + the Jones sent marbleized silks and delicately appliquéd linen pieces down the runway. Ashley Balding of Ona Rex showed her convertible and vibrantly colored nylon and cotton creations, inventively trussed with paracord. Six of the seniors presented full collections with influences ranging from minimalism to the juxtaposition of urban versus organic design. Smaller groups of looks also made their way through the O’More halls including athleisure, career and bridal wear. Guests agreed the imaginative structural denim collection sponsored by Olah Inc. was one of the showstoppers. Partygoers enjoyed the rest of the evening mingling throughout the house and on the school’s grounds, sampling from varied hors d’œuvres and enjoying drinks as they walked by portraits of the graduating students on the walls, affording everyone a look into each new designer’s process and personality. by Hunter Claire Rogers pho t ographs by Daniel Meigs

From the Heart The Hermitage welcomes Laura Bush to the 117th Spring Outing

n 2009, former first lady Laura Bush was so moved by a visit to The Hermitage that she told the staff to let her know if there was ever anything she could do to help. This spring, they took her up on the offer by inviting her to speak at the 117th Spring Outing. According to Frances Spradley, regent of the Andrew Jackson Foundation, Laura was “the first person that came to mind for many” to celebrate not only the yearly luncheon but the 250th birthday of Andrew Jackson, which is being commemorated all year long at the historic home. The decision was clearly the right one as a record-breaking crowd of 700 braved the heat to hear the poised author and activist speak at the event. Prior to lunch on the lawn, an intimate Patrons Party was held in the mansion. Guests waited patiently to have their photo taken with Laura inside the entry hall before making their way to the back lawn where they were greeted with Champagne and autographed copies of Laura’s new book, Spoken From the Heart. Many attendees meandered through the nearby garden to see the new reflection bench that was added in Laura’s honor. Following lunch, everyone had a chance to hear from the former first lady. Her longtime friend Karyn Frist introduced her, saying, “No matter what political party you’re affiliated with, everyone admires, respects and appreciates Laura Bush.” As Laura took the podium and acknowledged Andrew Jackson’s 250th birthday celebration, she joked, “Since George and I just turned 70, even 250 is starting to sound young.” After giving updates on her family, Laura, a longtime advocate for education and literacy, lauded the Andrew Jackson Foundation for promoting the study of American history and educating over 30,000 visitors each year. She recalled her teaching career and her time in the White House, remembering the people and encounters that inspired and challenged her along the way. “The choices we make now will shape the next generation,” she said, reminding the crowd that sometimes it’s the smallest things that often make the biggest difference. by Nancy Floyd pho t ographs by Eric England and TO MMY LA WSON

Get in the Swim Making a splash at Boots & Bubbles
D
espite severe storm forecasts on a recent Sunday afternoon, the skies cleared, and the sun came out, ensuring that the third annual Boots & Bubbles would be a huge success. The all-you-can-eat crawfish boil has become a traditional celebration following the Special Olympics Tennessee State Summer Games for the Nashville Dolphins, the organization that provides aquatics programming for children and adults with special needs. Dolphins supporters of all ages filled the superbly landscaped grounds at Julia and John Morris’ Oak Hill retreat for mudbugs, music and beer. The sun-drenched afternoon included listening to classic pop, rock and soul favorites from Fade to Black and playing lawn games — cornhole for the adults and a bouncy house and a playset for the little ones. Any ticketholder who stayed home fearing downpours missed out on winning some fabulous raffle items like a getaway to a house on Center Hill Lake. The aroma of spices and seasonings filled the air, and the minute mountains of steaming crawfish, corn and potatoes were poured onto two large tables, bean bags were tossed to the ground. A few guests took “all you can eat” literally, filling their checkerboard baskets to overflowing. The organization’s Junior Board, which plans and executes the event, made certain there were plenty of refreshing signature cocktails and icy cold beers to wash down the crustaceans. Before the afternoon was over, everyone — including even the youngest reveler — was dancing. Proudly wearing medals around their necks, members of the Dolphins swim team joined in the fun as Fade to Black played into the waning afternoon hours. The number of swimmers participating in Nashville Dolphins programs has expanded to 225 — from beginners learning to kick and blow bubbles to the swim team members, who take lessons in six area pools. Funds raised at Boots & Bubbles support these programs, which are free of charge to all participants.

Growing up on Music Country Grand Prix
F
or 29 years, the Tractor Supply Company’s Music Country Grand Prix — benefiting Saddle Up, an equine-assisted program for children and adults with disabilities — was described as the best kept secret in Nashville. Now, over 1,000 attendees of all ages make their way to Sissie Anderton’s beautiful Brownland Farm to partake in one of the premier show-jumping events in the nation. “This event features the type of riveting competition seen at the Olympics as participants contend for the $40,000 purse,” explained co-chairs Sarah Ingram and Jennifer Pennington. In addition to the breathtaking match-up and a significant silent auction, featuring one-of-a-kind trips and unique items, the Grand Prix includes a patrons tent with a scrumptious summer supper and a Jack Daniel’s sponsored bar as well as a specially created People Prix — in which children can test their jumping abilities over custom-made jumps. Over 500 patrons sitting at rectangular tables covered in bright DayGlo cloths enjoyed a magnificent view of the tournament course while sipping on the signature drink — the Up and Over — made of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, sweet and sour mix and Sprite. To the delight of volunteers and supporters alike, the bountiful buffet was again presented by Puckett’s and Wild Iris. MBA student Rhys Rutherford opened the concours with an emotional rendition of our national anthem, and Abbie Clark presented the flag as well as the 2017 honorees. There was a lovely light breeze, and families frolicked in the bucolic setting. “This year, despite the improvement of moving to the middle of the farm to expand the venue, community support and attendance has grown, so we oversold our patron tables, filled our six cabanas, and our grandstands are brimming over,” exclaimed Jennifer. “Next year, we will put in more cabanas, tables and bleachers so that we are ready; we have plenty of room here to grow!”

Forever Young More than a feeling at Prom Night
A
cast of characters from high school days celebrated a familiar rite of passage at Prom Night at Hampton High. This was only the third fundraiser for the Nashville Conflict Resolution Center, each time held at the Hampton Avenue home of Bette and Mark Christoferson. This year, more than 200 people put on taffeta and tuxes and filled the couple’s backyard, which substituted for a gym, complete with a balloon arch and a throne for the king and queen of the prom. Taking inspiration from proms of any era, guests arrived in all sorts of costumes — and stories to go with them. The student body president, Bette, showed off her “baby bump” under a slinky gown. She shrugged and explained that the “baby Daddy” — and real life husband — Mark (a British exchange student with Austin Powers teeth) had been her homecoming date. Decked out in bathrobes, Arden and Charlie McElroy came as bleary-eyed parents waiting for their teens to come home. Doing his best to keep watch over all these crazy kids was the principal of Hampton High, Mac Pirkle. After a buffet dinner from Kalamatas, a former prom queen — title-winning female impersonator Brooke Lynn Hytes — returned to campus for old times’ sake and entertained the crowd. A heavy metal band (aka Mark, Mac and Tom Potter) performed “School’s Out” before Jerry Geraghty and Rosemary Weldon were named king and queen. The dance floor was packed until DJ Luke closed the night spinning one last favorite dance number. Everyone was having such a great time that it’s likely many broke their curfews. NCRC provides restorative mediation services free of charge to over 1,200 vulnerable individuals and families each year, helping them stabilize family, school, work and housing situations. For 17 years, it has served as Davidson County’s only nonprofit mediation center. This year, Prom Night proceeds totaled more than $30,000; one more reason why this outrageous party is not to be missed!

The Fabric of Our Lives Thoroughly Southern at Seriously Seersucker
B
y the time Memorial Day hits, seersucker season is in full swing. More than 100 years ago, Joseph Haspel invented the modern-day version of the puckered fabric to fight steamy New Orleans summers. Since then, the seersucker suit has been a go-to for stylish Southern gents. Nowhere is the striped mainstay celebrated with more zeal than at Robert Hicks’ Seriously Seersucker, which raises funds for student scholarships at O’More College of Design. This year, the party was moved to earlier in the “season” to coincide with National Seersucker Day, giving some guests a first chance to break out their ensembles and allowing everyone to make the most of their swanky attire. Revelers wore all styles and colors of the striped fabric to the shindig. One lady looking exceptionally crisp in her blue and white, off-the-shoulder dress was special guest Laurie Haspel Aronson — Joseph’s great-granddaughter and president of the brand — while Robert sported the line’s extremely dapper suit in deep navy and black Italian seersucker. A crowd chose to remain near the bars and the seemingly bottomless pitchers of peach Old Fashioneds at dinnertime. Some perused the tidy and spectacular auction curated by Ann Owens that included a getaway in Leiper’s Fork, a killer whiskey collection, and Haspel’s popular (and at the time, sold out) Krewe tuxedo in the navy and black fabric with a black satin grosgrain lapel and stripe down the pant leg. Gents not wanting to risk losing to a higher bidder could order one with a portion of the proceeds going directly to O’More. When they finally made their way through the very Southern supper buffet, attendees piled their plates with beef short ribs and white cheddar grits, Nashville hot chicken bites, pimento cheese on cornbread and, of course, fried green tomatoes from Dani Kates. As the last pecan tart was consumed, Bizz & Everyday People took the stage, and guests took to the dance floor for more revelry until it was time to return home and hang up their suits until next time.

Keep Calm and Bid On Hockey is no competition for the Swan Ball Auction Party
Co-chairs Jody Hull and Amy Liz Riddick

S
wan Ball co-chairs Jody Hull and Amy Liz Riddick were unflappable. The coolest sport in the world had nothing on the coolest party in town. It just so happened that the NHL Conference Final, pitting our beloved Nashville Predators against the Anaheim Ducks here in Nashville, fell on the same night as the always highly anticipated Swan Ball Auction Party. Auction Party co-chairs Paige Bainbridge, Shannon Finucane and Elizabeth Lamar planned for a sold-out party, and that it was. As guests poured into Belle Meade Country Club, they cheerfully accepted flutes of Kenwood Yulupa Brut and filling snacks like pimento cheese toast points, french fry cones and cheeseburger sliders. Armed with alcohol and appetizers, they began bidding on an extensive collection of getaways, experiences and parties. Auction co-chairs Carter Dawson, Amy Richards and Rebecca Rutledge secured 75 domestic and international trips and local treasures for the silent auction while the live auction contained 20 oneof-a-kind adventures that can be found only at this event. Lexie Armstrong and Blair Laborde brought the beauty of Cheekwood’s gardens into the club with loads of greenery, including a wall of Kimberly ferns, oversized succulents and two moss-covered bars in the tent. Throughout all the rooms, a palette of cool gray-blue, white and twine kept the atmosphere elegant and fresh. Lexie, known for her watercolors, provided banners featuring the Swan Ball crest and swan at the entrance and in the main bar. While plasma screens throughout the club helped guests keep track of bidding, strategically placed TVs ensured that they could also follow the game. Sotheby’s auctioneer Christina Williams kept the bidding lively. Laurie and Steve Eskind won the Chicago trip that included every imaginable Windy City experience — plus, they get to visit their daughter, Julie. The bidding remained active until the end, possibly fueled by the club’s signature Yoli and caramel fudge ball pops at dessert. It was a winning night for all; the Swan Ball Auction was wildly successful, and the Preds won the conference championship! by Holly Hoffman pho t ographs by Daniel Meigs continued on page 52

Coming Home The newly renovated Cheekwood Mansion plays host to the Swan Ball Patrons Party
Rob and co-chair Jody Hull
W
hen it comes to the Swan Ball, Cheekwood is always the star of the show. The estate not only plays host each year; it’s the beneficiary of the white-tie event, one of the oldest charity galas in the South. This year, however, Cheekwood was truly the belle of the ball as the fundraiser also served as an unveiling of sorts of the recently refurnished mansion, and guests at the Patrons Party were among the first to see the Country Place Era estate restored to its former glory. This intimate event, typically held in a private home, was hosted at the mansion to give patrons the first glimpse of the renovated home. Guests were greeted by the soft strains of a string trio as they flowed into the mansion for cocktails and hors d’œuvres. Leslie Jones, vice president of museum affairs and curator of decorative arts, held court in the drawing room, answering questions about the home’s renovation. The room — which was formerly bare, save for a piano — has come to life with furnishings, draperies and art, many of which were original pieces owned by the Cheek family in the 1930s. Partygoers couldn’t hide their astonishment as they admired the transformation of the familiar — and formerly empty — rooms that have been touched by the restoration. The amazement continued in the dining room where Mish Tworkowski, the Swan Ball’s featured jeweler, had a display of beautiful pieces available for purchase. A lot of patient and nervous-looking gents waited nearby as their wives browsed the jewelry, some even going so far as to jokingly offer payment to anyone who could successfully pull their date away from the glass cases before a purchase was made. Fortunately, a portion of the proceeds go back to Cheekwood, so those sparkly new purchases were for a good cause. The night concluded with a lavish three-course dinner in Massey Hall, outfitted in lush coral and pink hues — the kind of evening that would’ve made Mabel and Leslie Cheek proud!

W
hile 50,000 Preds fans took over downtown for the first home game of the Stanley Cup final, there was a much swankier viewing party happening across town at the Cheekwood Mansion. Thanks to some quick thinking by co-chairs Jody Hull and Amy Liz Riddick, guests of the Swan Ball needn’t choose between the white-tie gala and the highly anticipated game. With televisions installed in the tent on Swan Lawn, partygoers could simultaneously show their support for Cheekwood and the Predators, and that’s exactly what many of them did. In addition to the lavish gowns and tailored tuxes, there was quite a bit of Preds memorabilia spotted in the crowd. From ball caps to beaded necklaces to giant foam hats, fans weren’t afraid to show their Smashville pride. Even Sheryl Crow got in on the excitement, plucking a Preds cap from the crowd to wear for part of her performance. And while quite a few gents were reluctant to leave their posts at the TVs, the game — and the big win — only added to the jovial mood at the affair, which boasted far more to enjoy than simply hockey. Jeweler Mish Tworkowski had his gorgeous collection on display in the dining room; the Wisteria Arbor was packed with revelers enjoying the warm night and the spectacular views, and, of course, the newly furnished library and drawing room attracted a steady stream of admirers. Although many didn’t want to leave the TVs to sit for dinner, the lively auction and the presentation of the Swan Award to the incomparable Carolina Herrera were enticing enough to pull them from the game. Following dinner (and the Preds’ victory), Sheryl Crow took the stage for an hour-long set of her beloved hits, joking about how much her band fretted over what to wear to the ball. (Ultimately, Sheryl settled on a pair of fantastic sequined pants for the occasion.) Once her performance ended, the adorable, young attendees of the Late Party flooded into the mansion, kicking up their heels to the Heather Hayes Experience while sliders from Krystal were passed through the crowd on silver platters. Downtown Nashville’s Preds party had nothing on this celebration! by Nancy Floyd and Holly Hoffman pho t ographs by Eric England and Dani el Meigs continued on page 62

Lemon L aine
Inside East Nashville’s all-natural beauty shop When it comes to all-natural beauty products, the market can be overwhelming and confusing. What products work? How well do they work? And which ones really are natural, organic and good for you? Beauty industry expert Laura Lemon is taking the guesswork out of all-natural beauty at Lemon Laine, an adorable East Nashville retail shop focused on skincare, makeup and overall wellness. “I want to create a space where women can discover beauty and find what works for them,” she says. At Lemon Laine, women can feel, smell and sample products, learn about new brands and get advice on what will work best for their individual needs. With over 10 years of experience in the beauty industry, Laura’s résumé includes working as a makeup artist at Saks, a natural beauty buyer for Walmart, in sales and marketing for Yes to Carrots and in product development for Juice Beauty, where she helped launch the Goop skincare line. She also studied holistic nutrition at Berkeley. “I wanted to be a nutritionist, but I just love products,” she says. With Lemon Laine, she returns to her retail roots, creating a welcoming environment for modern women looking to incorporate wellness into their beauty routine. The store only sells all-natural products, a majority of which aren’t found anywhere else in Nashville, and the selection includes facial cleansers, moisturizers, masks, body wash, hair care products, cosmetics and wellness products, ranging from supplements to teas. The heart and soul of the store is the oil bar, where women can have a customized organic oil blend crafted specifically for their skin’s needs. by Nancy Floyd Pho t ogra phs by Emil y B. Hall

The Rhaps od y Spa
Inside The Westin Nashville’s signature spa
To think you should only visit a hotel spa when on vacation is a thing of the past. With the recent opening of the Rhapsody Spa in The Westin Nashville, luxurious treatments once reserved for out-of-town indulgences are now meant to be enjoyed at home. Spa amenities include nine treatment rooms, private showers with steam, a shared traditional dry sauna and a serene relaxation lounge. The spa succeeds at its goal to help each client look and feel his or her best while having naturally beautiful skin and a renewed sense of inner calm. Natural materials are used extensively in the 6,000-square-foot space with a carefully crafted aesthetic that sets the tone for a tranquil spa experience. Stone, wood, tiles and pebbles cover walls, ceilings and floors and create pathways leading through the reception area and beyond, and the lush living wall of air plants is emblematic of The Westin’s signature wellness programs. The inner rooms exude an atmosphere of stylishness and calm, and the Nail Lounge has woven wood ceilings while the Relaxation Room offers a place to unwind with luxurious chaises and illuminated natural stone. Each treatment room surrounds clients with warm wood, tile accent walls and custom lighting. Aromatherapy and sensory experience play an important part in all spa treatments. In addition to U.K. brand ESPA as its core product line, the spa also offers a range of natural products and treatments and uses Éminence Organic Skin Care and FarmHouse Fresh products for decadent manicures and pedicures. It is also one of a very few places in town that carries Jane Iredale makeup. by H oll y hoffman Pho t ogra phs by daniel meigs

Inside the modern place to float
Pure Sweat + Float Studio brings a new way to think about health and wellness. With exclusive state-of-the-art equipment, it provides a dynamic combination of medical grade heat therapy and floatation therapy that cannot be found elsewhere in Nashville. Set in Westgate Center, the studio is a healthy haven on the edge of Belle Meade. People of all body types, those with chronic pain and disease and even cancer survivors are reaping the therapeutic benefits of floating and sauna experiences. Owner Candice Bruder’s goal is to bring wellness to others and give people a rewarding experience while enhancing their health. “There is no prescription once you’re in there,” she says. “There’s no right or wrong. Figure out what feels best and do whatever makes you feel good.” Float pods have music options — including bringing one’s own playlist — and saunas feature touch-screen tablets with built-in media apps including Netflix and Pandora. Adjustable lighting allows for even further personalization. The mPulse sauna cabins, found only at the studio, deliver the most effective infrared therapy available, combining the full spectrum of near, middle and far infrared wavelengths. Infrared, an invisible wavelength of medical grade light, safely penetrates human tissue to raise core body temperature and release a much higher percentage of toxins than with a traditional sauna and includes other benefits as well. Floatation therapy combines the power of weightlessness, total stillness and soothing Epsom salt water to act together as a healing force. The studio’s exclusive Evolution Float Pods are the same pods used by the New England Patriots and the U.S. Navy Seals. Tennessee Titans players have also become enthusiasts about the accelerated physical recovery, anxiety reduction and improved mental clarity that floating brings. by H oll y hoffman Pho t ogra phs by daniel meigs and Heidi R oss

Both of the Float Pods contain nearly 1,000 pounds of the finest Epsom salt dissolved in about 12 inches of pristine water, maintained at body temperature. The high salt content allows any size user to float effortlessly on the surface. The reduction of outside environmental influences provides a deeply relaxing — and thoroughly enjoyable — atmosphere. Adjustable lids, lights and music allow each user to customize his or her personal floating experience for maximum enjoyment.

Five sauna cabins are housed in separate private rooms. A standard session lasts 40 minutes, with all wavelengths set at 100 percent strength to deliver the most effective infrared therapy available. Each wavelength targets different parts of the body to produce a full range of health benefits. Far infrared waves address detoxification, weight loss (burning up to 600 calories in 30 minutes) and lowering blood pressure. Middle infrared helps with pain relief, improved circulation and weight loss. Near infrared aids cell health, wound healing and anti-aging concerns.

Riley n o t r a B Carolyn marries Lunen n o V t r w Ro be e h t t a M
Carolyn Riley and Matt Von Lunen met through mutual friend Laurence Chenery Hawkins in January 2014. Matt proposed July Fourth weekend in 2016 at the Rileys’ lake house in Rock Island. The couple married in December at West End United Methodist Church where Carolyn’s parents married almost 40 years earlier. Carolyn wore her grandmother’s dress, which was also previously worn by her mother. The lace appliqués on the dress were from her great-grandmother’s wedding dress from 1918. Carolyn now wears Matt’s mother’s engagement ring, and Matt wears Carolyn’s grandfather’s wedding band. The Rev. Michael Williams officiated, and family friend Kathy West designed the flowers, including the bride’s bouquet of white roses, peonies and lisianthus.
The reception was at The Bell Tower, where guests dined on chicken roulade, Parmesan risotto, haricots verts and spinach salad with goat cheese, pine nuts and cranberries. They danced to top hits from the ’60s to present day by Raye Raye and Them. Traditions from Western Pennsylvania, where Matt grew up, highlighted the festivities. In lieu of a groom’s cake, they served “gobs” or whoopie pies, which are popular with the Amish. Among the Eastern European immigrants who settled the area, it is commonplace to have a table bearing thousands of cookies made by friends and family for guests to take home and enjoy later. Also tied to Eastern European tradition was the bridal dance — sometimes called apron dance, dollar dance or redovy — performed to polka music.
The bride’s attendants, wearing aprons, offered shots for a dollar with a chance to dance briefly with the bride. Soon everyone was dancing in circles around Carolyn trying to prevent Matt from having the last dance — before finally allowing him the privilege. After a wedding trip to Argentina, the newlyweds returned to Nashville where Carolyn is a registered nurse at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and Matt is a planning, research and development division administrator at Greater Nashville Regional Council. Carolyn is a graduate of Harpeth Hall and The University of Tennessee. Matt holds a B.A. from The University of the South and an M.A. from American University. Their parents are Laura and Robert Riley of Nashville and Mark and Jana Von Lunen of Davidsville, Pennsylvania. by Sandy Nelson

Pizza Perfection What’s cooking at Porta Via and Nicky’s Coal Fired by Carrington Fox
Nicky’s Coal Fired 5026 Centennial Blvd. 615-678-4289 nickysnashville.com
Porta Via Ristorante e Bar 21 White Bridge Road, Suite 104 615-356-0001 eatatportavia.com
Located in the Stocking 51 building ( formerly Belle Meade Hosiery), The Nations’ new dinnertime landmark balances casual and easygoing attitude with culinary and cocktail sophistication. Nicky’s massive two-chamber oven is fired by coal, with one side churning out pizzas (gorgonzola with dates, kale with clams, sausage with pea shoots and fermented chili) in 30 seconds and the other side burning lower and slower for stuffed artichokes, whole fish with caper-fennel relish, and beef with herbs, olive oil, lemon and sea salt.
When Porta Via earned official VPN certification in 2011 for upholding the art and tradition of Neapolitan pizza-making, the neighborhood not only raised its pie game, it got a dining destination equally attractive for an afternoon treat and a romantic culinary rendezvous. Artisanal crusts topped with mozzarella, pancetta, pine nuts, scallops, ricotta, rapini, Gouda, asparagus, steak, arugula and basil may be the marquee attractions, but Porta Via is more than a pizza joint. The sleek shotgun space showcases decadent European extremes, ranging from jewel-colored gelato at the bar just inside the door to thin fire-pocked crusts cooked in the 800-degree dome oven on display at the rear of the dining room.
pho t ograph by Eric England
pho t ograph by Eric England
To call Nicky’s a “mom-and-pop” operation might give the wrong impression of the young, dynamic owners, but the cheerful and gracious presence of executive chef Tony and general manager Caroline Galzin lends homespun coziness to the former industrial space. Talk to Tony for two seconds, and you’ll know he’s serious about his ingredients and techniques. Pastas are made by hand; charcuterie is aged in-house, and pizza toppings — including housemade pepperoni and mortadella — ride on crust made from a sourdough starter that Tony and Caroline lugged with them when they relocated from Chicago five years ago. But there’s nothing stuffy about the menu at Nicky’s, where drinks include Fernet-Branca and Coca-Cola, frozen like a boozy Coke Icee.
Chef Giovanni brings freshness, depth and variety to lunch, dinner and brunch menus of antipasti, housemade pastas, paninis, calzones, salads, veal marsala and saltimbocca, chicken piccata, shrimp scampi, eggs Benedict, blackened shrimp polenta and Nutella crepes. (Gluten-free pizzas are also available.) A choreography of pizzaioli stretching and decorating circles of handmade dough makes for an appetizing (and family-friendly) spectacle in this charming neighborhood restaurant and bar, but if you’re not up for dinner and a show, you can always place an order to go — no surprise at a restaurant whose Italian name translates to “carry-out.”

SLEEP In addition to guestrooms in the main hotel and in the Manor House across the street, guests have their choice of executive king rooms, which include a large living room and an additional 200 square feet, or onebedroom suites with a dining area and private sitting room with a pull-out sofa bed. Rooms are palatial and well-appointed with roomy bathrooms that boast oversized soaking tubs, glass-enclosed showers with rain-style showerheads, and carved wood and marble vanities.
EAT The Red Stag Grill — serving breakfast or brunch, lunch and dinner daily — continues the hunting lodge feel, both in décor and fare, with a menu that incorporates local ingredients into contemporary European cuisine. Game-heavy entrées shine on the dinner menu in dishes like the Quail Two Ways appetizer and the Mountain River Elk Loin (served with potato-leek soubise, broccolini, grilled spring onions and huckleberry vincotto) while the breakfast and lunch offerings run the gamut of lighter fare (think fresh smoothies and salads) to heartier dishes like smoked trout Benedict and shrimp and grits.
RELAX Located on the third floor, the Poseidon Spa is small but proficient at dispensing relaxation. The adept staff utilizes hot stones, heated towels, healthy oils, therapeutic botanicals and natural products in the array of massages, facials and body treatments offered for men and women. Add an enhancement — ranging from a collagen eye treatment to an ocean foot polish — for an even more luxurious treatment. You won’t regret it!
Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville
PLAY It’s easy to spend an entire day touring the 8,000-acre Biltmore Estate, which, in addition to the 179,000-square-foot mansion, also includes breathtaking gardens, shopping, dining and the Biltmore winery, the most visited winery in the country. If you’re looking for excitement, head over to the Adventure Center of Asheville for a canopy zip line tour. The two-hour tour, which includes 11 zip lines, overlooks both downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains for an unforgettable adventure.
Asheville, North Carolina
A stone’s throw from the entrance to the Biltmore Estate, the Grand Bohemian Hotel is snugly situated in the center of Biltmore Village, offering guests a chic and charming place to call home during a visit to Asheville. Taking design cues from the famous estate that now serves as a neighbor, the lobby of the hotel could’ve easily been a hunting lodge for the Vanderbilt family. A four-sided, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the inviting space, which is accented with warm hues, wood paneling, animal trophies, antler chandeliers and rich furnishings. The Old World charm and aesthetic overflows to the guestrooms, which boast velvet-tufted headboards, plush bedding, original artwork and luxe bathrooms. An easy drive to Asheville’s many hikes, restaurants and attractions, the Grand Bohemian puts you at the center of the city’s vibrant culture and scenic vistas, but with the relaxing Poseidon Spa, the Grand Bohemian Art Gallery and the Red Stag Grill at your fingertips, you may never want to leave. by Nancy Floyd

Home Away From Home Chris, 44, and Victoria, 31, envisioned a place where families could have dinner on a weeknight as well as a restaurant where special occasions are celebrated. “It’s really about being a place for people to connect with one another,” says Victoria. The approachable menu, relaxed seating and (intentionally) mismatched estate silverware is designed to make guests view the restaurant as their own dinner table. “We try to do recognizable food,” says Victoria, “but with surprising flavors.”
Answer
Pho t ogra phs by ck dirks and the andrews
agency
When it comes to the age-old debate about what to do for dinner, restaurateurs Victoria Rothberg and Chris Raucci think they just might have the answer. After years as chain restaurant road warriors, opening locations of Houston’s and Ted’s Montana Grill all over the country, Victoria and Chris wanted to settle down and have a place of their own. While out to dinner one night three years ago in their home base of Atlanta, the “business partners and best friends” sketched the design for their dream restaurant. This spring, it came to fruition when Answer opened in Sylvan Park. The restaurant seats 70 inside and an additional 28 on the patio. The bright airy décor has a modern but laid-back feel with one wall lined with comfortable leather banquette seating and wood tables by Range Projects, a Chattanoogabased custom furniture company. San Francisco designer Hannah Collins, who met Victoria years ago at Houston’s when Hannah was a waitress, worked with the owners to make their vision a reality. by Whitney Clay
Somet hing for Ever yone
Call
The globally inspired menu offers pizza with taleggio, mortadella, sweet onion and pistachios, trout with arugula and pea purée and a molasses peppercorn steak. There are also chicken, lamb and tofu dishes for good measure. When friends get together for a dinner out, frequently there’s one who vetoes plans, say for Mexican or Chinese, lamenting he or she had it the night before. “We didn’t want that veto vote,” says Chris. The solution? Having something for everyone.
Both Chris and Victoria started on their career paths early on. Victoria worked in a restaurant in high school, and Chris started even earlier. “My family owned a neighborhood restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina,” says Chris. “Even when I was young in Memphis, we had family friends who owned a little neighborhood restaurant where we would go. My parents would drop us off, and we would wash dishes. My brother was 8, and I was 10 ... It’s always been in our upbringing and in our family and in our blood.”

L ike a G oo d N eig hbor Before they even moved to Nashville, Chris and Victoria were knocking on doors in Sylvan Park, introducing themselves to their soon-to-be neighbors. The restaurant at 132 46th Ave. N. is in a primarily residential area. “The woman in the yellow house has been a huge supporter,” says Victoria. “Her son works here. They came for brunch on Sunday. We are turning into her kitchen.” Chris recalled, smiling, that he recently noticed the parking lot was empty, but the restaurant was packed. Everyone had walked.

Expert etiquette advice from John Bridges
ChurCh SChool Our son is bringing a couple of friends, with whom he plays basketball and soccer, along on our summer trip to the beach. It turns out that one of them comes from a family that’s extremely conservative in every way — politicswise and religion-wise. We didn’t know this when we told our 10-year-old to pick whom he pleased. His mother has already asked that we find a church of their sort, so we can all go there together on Sunday. My husband and I are not particularly religious, so we’re tempted to tell our son to find another friend. Maybe his parents will learn something from that. Are we right? —Anonymous, Nashville Who’s teaching Sunday school here — your 10-year-old? Why does your kid have to tackle tough ethics and probably lose a friend in the process? The two kids seem to get along, out on the soccer field. I bet they don’t talk a lot of religion. Maybe that’s why your kid never brought it up. The mother may be rigid, and she may be out to preach to you, but you’ll want to be careful not to start trading sermonettes. (You’d sound pretty hot under the collar — if you were wearing one.) You’re going on a vacation, so you get to call the shots. Will the kid be keeping count of your daily intake of margaritas? (Keep that answer to yourself.) But if the kid is one of your son’s best pals, and if he actually likes church — or his mother says he does — he can pack a fresh polo. You or your crew can go along with him. World wars have been started by less — and ended up with something a whole lot hotter than sunburn.
Grandmama’S Boy I have a new grandboy. My husband and I are divorced, but he brought his new wife to the bris ceremony. They’ve been married less than a year, but I didn’t mind her being there. However, the ex-husband was going around the reception, saying, “I want you to meet the new grandmother,” meaning her. He was totally over the top. I didn’t know what to say, but it has to stop. I don’t want the woman calling herself the baby’s grandmother. I have no idea what she should be called, but I may have a few ideas. Any suggestions? —Lucinda, Nashville

Headlines 6X6 Banner Art.indd 1
Was your ex-husband always such an ass at a party? I guess there was an open bar. I’m sure you’ll be around the baby more often than the step-grandmother, but the baby’s parents deserve to be alerted. It’s highly unlikely they’ll start calling her “Granny,” “Grandma,” or the classic “Nana.” You need not fear. What you’re angry about is your ex’s behavior, which was unforgivable. But to keep your heart at ease, have you negotiated name-calling with the other legitimate grandparents? (Are there just a pair, or are there more?) If they’re not stopped, little children have a tendency to call their grandparents whatever they please. This is a decision for the wee one’s parents, not for you. Bring him a teddy bear. He’ll love his Nana. 1/14/14 2:10 PM

Welcome Home Twenty years of friendship and counting
Word on the street is that 100 people move to Nashville a day. Mostly, that statistic scares me, but in this instance, it makes me ecstatic. One of those 100 is a Nashville native finally returning home to her roots — my dearest, closest friend, Liz. Let me be quick to say that Liz would be mortified if she knew I was writing about her in the public sphere. Let me then add a hearty: too bad. Liz and I both left Nashville nearly two decades ago, the summer after we graduated college. We were 21 years into a lifelong friendship and on the cusp of some eye-opening adventures — not that we hadn’t logged our fair share of those already. Nearly every week of our elementary and middle school years, we stayed up late jumping on the trampoline and telling each other secrets in the dark. We alternated between playing blissfully and bossing each other around, holding a grudge and then getting over it. We took baths together — and later trips together. Inside jokes grew, and other friendships were formed — but none like this one. My first ceremonial beer was shared with Liz, the two of us sitting on a hill overlooking Old Hickory Lake. My junior year, I studied abroad in Australia, and she came all the way over to visit me. And so, when it was time to do something fun after college, naturally we made plans to do it
together. It was “Manhattan here we come” in a Budget moving van. With the help of her dad’s fixit man, we packed up our meager belongings: a couple of dressers and Duffel bags, a ratty sofa and some chairs, as well as hanging bags with our brand new work outfits in them. We hugged our moms goodbye, smiled for a picture, pulled out of the driveway and promptly went to Bread & Company for Tahitian vanilla lattes. Two days of driving later, we crossed the Queensboro Bridge, barreling our way into the city with yellow taxis crisscrossing our path and honking angrily at us. All I remember is that we started laughing so hard that I literally couldn’t see from the tears pouring out of my eyes. Of all of our adventures, this one was tops. With a map and a mess of prayers, we finally pulled up in front of our apartment and then promptly threw the van in park, flicked on the hazards and stepped out into “the real world.” That was two decades ago, and Liz has been in the same city ever since. Now, as of this month, we’re back in our hometown — together. With daughters only four weeks apart in age, it will be their turn to spend the night at each other’s houses, staying up late and telling each other secrets in the dark. That’s pretty much what Liz and I will still be doing, too.

The Age Gap Gen X at the Swan Ball and beyond
THANK YOU BETSY FOR DOING HAIR & MAKEUP FOR THE NFOCUS LADIES FOR THE SWAN BALL!
Sign up To receive the best of Nfocus in your inbox and get early invites to all our exclusive events.
the waves of new generations entering our lives represent an organic shift. It’s not just in workplaces; it’s at fundraisers, in the stands at Preds and Titans games, next to your car in traffic — headphones, anyone? Our sweet Gen X-ers (ages 37-52) are solid deliverers, bringing manpower, energy and expertise to events as storied as the Swan Ball and coming into their own in terms of community leadership. Tech-savvy millennials (ages 23-36) are elbowing for room in the workplace and on the dance floor — and getting elbowed back. I witnessed a Gen X-er maneuver in front of an ambitious and unaware millennial as Sheryl Crow sang just above them. My dear, your time in front of the stage will come, just not quite yet. And those fidget spinners? Made for the Gen Z (ages 5-22) up-and-comers, the oldest of which are just about to graduate from college and enter the workplace. Heads up, they’re starting to be added to invitation lists across town. As for us baby boomers (ages 53-71), we’re dancing a little farther back on the dance floor as we hold on longer in the workplace and continue to support our favorite charities in perhaps more selective ways. It’s fun to pick up a few tricks from the on-top-of-it younger peeps. Several years ago, the Chamber of Commerce recognized that baby boomers were moving to Nashville in notable numbers. A little research found that their millennial children had already moved here for the jobs, the affordable living, and the many entertainment and volunteer options here. (OK, I made up that part about volunteering, but it’s true.) Baby boomers are simpler; they just want to stay close to the kids. Other info on how the generations are impacting Nashville comes from Amy Lynch, the blogger, speaker and consultant who has made the study of generations her hallmark. She said Gen Z, sometimes called
Gen Edge, grew up explaining technology to their parents. One friend learned to use Open Table from her 5-year-old, sociologically a “boomlet.” The young Gen Z’s are much more practical than millennials, Amy said, “because they lived through the 2008 financial meltdown. They saw friends and relatives lose their homes and jobs.” They have less ego about job titles. Manufacturing, which has moved high tech with developments like 3-D printing, sounds good to them: safe, dependable, a portable craft. They’ll be building Swan Ball sets ... and an app that calls the valet when you’re ready to leave the party. While Gen Z is part of the disruption of the work force — and the nonprofit world — they are also integral to managing the chaos underway. Every generation contributes to safely navigating through this shift. Boomers bring a long perspective and the wisdom of experience. Gen X-ers, entrepreneurial and individualistic, can be a bit cynical when it comes to institutions like government and marriage. They’re still peeved about their parents’ divorce. They will question the motives of each participant in change and brainstorm crazy options that have never been tried before. Millennials, on the other hand, respect authority and tend to have good relationships with their ever-present parents because they know the world is a scary place, having witnessed the Challenger explosion, the horror of Columbine and the twin towers falling just as they were beginning to come of age. We have to protect these people! (I hope the Gen Edge kids are working on an app for all this.) Amy’s book with more on this comes out in September, GenIQ: Generational Intelligence for an Age of Disruption. I’m going to be first in line at the book store — which marks me as a boomer — while the other generations can access it on Amazon.

Pho t ogra phs cour tesy of O ’More C ollege of Design
By Design 1979
In 1970, interior designer Eloise Pitts O’More opened her eponymous School of Interior Architecture and Design in her Victorian home on West Main Street in historic downtown Franklin. The school’s reputation grew, and by 1979, it moved to its present location at the Abbey Leix Mansion, an Italianate Manor home built in 1866. The campus now consists of six buildings, but the mansion remains the center of the campus to 180 students who earn Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in graphic design, fashion and interior design, exercising their considerable talents in Nashville and beyond.
