MINDFUL

THE POWER OF INTUITION

trip was planned, but something was telling her that it was not the right moment to travel. I suggested that she respect this feeling, explaining that her intuition was sending her a message. She decided to postpone her trip. During the time she would have been away, the roof of her house was damaged during a storm due to fallen trees. Because she heeded her intuition, my client was able to take charge of the situation and minimize the damage.

In another healing session, a man told me that he had accompanied a friend to hang glide, and suddenly had a premonition of a terrible outcome. He tried to persuade his friend not to glide, but the friend went anyway. Shortly after the jump, the glider folded inward, the man fell from a high altitude, and died. For years, my client felt guilty. He wished he had been more insistent, since his intuition had told him that his friend would be in danger.

Intuitive information that arrives to us is subtle. When it appears, it is important to recognize it as viable information and not dismiss it. As part of my spiritual healing practice, I teach adults how to pay attention to those subtle messages and prove their truths. I also suggest that adults teach children to honor their intuition. facebook.com/angelsantamarinaspiritualhealing

With my gift of spiritual perception, I see things differently.

Over the past 20 years, I have done over 2,000 healings.

My mind has opened up to a different understanding of reality that surrounds us.

I view intuition as a vital tool that people should make use of in their daily lives. As rational beings, we increase our knowledge, experiences and wisdom as we grow. As adults, we typically believe and trust our accumulated information more than our intuition for daily decision-making. Contrary to our accumulated knowledge and experience, we do not know the origin of intuition, or its level of accuracy. We typically do not trust intuition, because our experiences often do not allow us to develop that trust.

My experiences as a spiritual healer have allowed me to understand that intuition originates from a different level of reality. Intuition is a powerful source of wisdom given to everyone; it can guide our decisions in a way that is not comprehensible through reasoning.

In order to trust intuition, it is necessary to be attentive to its messages and accept its guidance. Start with the simple decisions of life.

For instance, one of my clients had promised her son that she would visit him abroad during the holidays. The 32

STAND UP FOR YOUR HEALTH Summer is the perfect time to get active. Here, the Wellness Foundation offers some actionable tips for “moments of movement.” Now get to it! BY ZOË KOBRIN

We’re all familiar with the benefits of exercising, but did you know that sitting for long periods of time could actually undo your efforts—and shorten your life?

Known as “sitting disease,” the problem is so serious that researchers are comparing it to smoking in terms of increased risk of death from heart disease. Prolonged periods of sitting wreak havoc on the body’s metabolic system—in addition to increasing the risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome and heart disease, they also heighten the danger of developing cancer and dementia. Even exercising for an hour each day can’t reverse the health hazards of sitting for hours at a time (though it does still help). The good news is, there’s a simple solution—getting up frequently and making a point to move more throughout the day.

It’s crucial that we plan for more moments of movement—and until they become habitual, gentle “nudges” are essential. For example, set an alarm on your phone to remind you to get up—once an hour for five minutes is a good way to start. You might also create reminders that pop up on your computer at work and post written or visual reminders on your desk. Below are some additional ideas to help you stand up for your health!

Get up and talk instead of emailing or texting if the recipient is in walking distance Meet friends for a long, relaxing walk instead of a drink or meal Hold walking or standing meetings at work Stand and move while you wait Obey the “one mile” rule—always try to walk to your destination if it is less than one mile away Make the most of chores by doing exercises such as lunges while vacuuming, squats while loading the dishwasher…gardening, lawn-mowing and raking leaves are also great workouts Let someone else have that parking spot up front—park farther away on purpose and walk Look for “exercise opportunities” throughout the day

Wellness Foundation is pleased to present the third of four articles in our Wellness 360 Series. We believe in a full circle approach to health; one that includes a plant-centric, whole-foods diet, physical activity, mindfulness, and social connection. In the last two articles, we provided some (whole) food for thought and talked about the importance of mindful moments. To learn more about our programs, visit our website at wfeh.org.

Walk around or in place while on the phone or watching TV Invest in a standing desk (or create your own) 34

@amandabisk

Summer is a perfect time to practice standing up for your health. Take advantage of the weather to get up and out—or just up! All of these small steps create big change.

It is a program designed to optimize health “from the inside out,” says Emblom Castro, whose 2013-founded Ojai, California-based Living Wholly (livingwholly.com) stages like-minded events around the country. Attendees can come for one day or stay at Serenbe or Foxhall for the full four days, which will 36

my mom’s friends have said, ‘I’m not spending money on that!’ They’re not connecting with the content, that this could change their lives. ‘Just give it a shot,’” she says she tells them.

A University of Santa Monica graduate in spiritual psychology, Emblom Castro extols the teachings and practices of holistic wellness in diet, exercise, meditating and avoiding toxins.

“There’s never been a more critical time for seeking wholeness in our lives,” Emblom Castro says about life in America today.

“Families are being separated. I believe that what we are going through is a dark night of the soul. To be frank, doing this in Georgia is a deeper calling for me, not just to create a wellness event. Education equals empowerment,” adds Emblom Castro, “and that is our assignment with Attune.”

The Attune event runs from Nov. 8-11, and is held in Serenbe, Georgia. Speakers include author Elizabeth Gilbert (Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear); neuroscientist Dr. Joe Dispenza; Gabby Bernstein, author and Ayurvedic nutritionist; spiritual guide and healer Shaman Durek, and others.

There will be live music and seated dinners throughout the event.

However well-meaning in their quest to bring wellness to the populace, healers and self-help gurus can sometimes come across as, well, kooky, in their certainty that they have all the answers to a life better lived.

That is why the candor of Jenny Emblom Castro, founder of Living Wholly, is so refreshing. She is the antithesis to the typecast of her trade.

A self-described former “party girl” born and raised in a conservative Alabama family, Emblom Castro, 40, says, “I’d been partying my ass off my whole life. Not everyone goes as hard as I did. That was my path, and it caught up with me.”

And of her own belief in spiritual and holistic teachings and retreats, she confides: “I grew up in a pretty conservative culture, and I still carry that part of me that wants to doubt it. My dad is a dentist; my mom, a teacher. My family challenges me on everything. So sometimes my own skepticism comes out, and I will have my doubts.” Now Emblom Castro is “coming home,” of sorts, with a November-set retreat, happening Down South. The directive: “To help educate and elevate the collective consciousness of the area,” she says.

SUMMER THRILLER

a private investigator whose eye for detail helps ground the plot’s revelations. “I love twists and turns, and any kind of psychological thriller from Patricia Highsmith’s novels to Hitchcock’s movies like Marnie,” says Sorkin, a native New Yorker and committed downtowner (she grew up in Soho and now lives in the Fi-Di with her husband, Ian Sorkin, a financial portfolio manager, and their 16-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter).

While the fast-paced novel is set farther uptown, Manhattan, overall, is as much a presence in the plot as the research that informs it. “We read hundreds of case studies to understand and get it right,” says Sorkin. Sounds intense, but doing the book was equal parts collaboration, intellectual exercise and empathetic connection for the two writers, who met when their kids went to Manhattan’s La Scuola d’Italia. Both drew on emotions their protagonist was experiencing, Tullan Holmqvist namely the “fear stage that parents go through, when you see your children growing up and know at some point ‘this room will be empty,’” says Sorkin, who manages the stress that comes along with a new book launch with yoga, restorative body work with Lexson Massage Therapy, and cooking farm-to-table meals out in the Hamptons for friends and family. That truly sounds like the most positive form of “domestic thriller” ever.

You may not know the term “domestic thriller,” but you probably have read one—that is, if your library holds books by Gillian Flynn, Greer Hendricks or B.A. Paris. This summer, add two new names to that list: authors Teresa Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist, whose novel The Woman in the Park (Beaufort Books) promises to be one of the best new iterations of the genre.

The story kicks off with a mystery: Police arrive at the New York City apartment of Sarah and Eric Rock, to ask Sarah about a missing person—a woman in the park. From that scene-setter to the epilogue, chapters told from Sarah’s point of view alternate with a psychiatrist’s session notes. We get to know the stylish, 40-something mother in therapy with a doctor who uses hypnosis in treatment. Adultery and madness, as well as erotomania, where a person believes another person is in love Teresa Sorkin with them, are explored, deepened with quotes from Émile Zola’s classic novel of passion and murder, Thérèse Raquin. To reveal more would spoil the surprises in this delicious tale, but suffice it to say, the authors have brought to life Sarah’s self-doubt, personal fears and face-off with reality on every page.

HOT STUFF

Infrared saunas like the ones from Sunlighten are sizzling wellness multitaskers, with benefits that include cardio conditioning, weight loss, collagenboosting and clear skin.

Struggling with hypertension? A statistically significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure is seen in as few as two weeks of far infrared sauna use, due to vasodilation of blood vessels. Furthermore, improvements in impaired endothelial function strongly suggest a protective role against atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Endothelial cells line the inside of your blood vessels, and their function is correlated with carotid artery thickness and coronary artery health. Plus, enhanced recovery and muscle healing allows for faster return to your regular activities.

Feeling great on the inside can be your secret. Looking fabulous on the outside is visible to the entire world. Wavelengths focused in the near infrared spectrum penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production and speeding wound-healing. The result: improvements in skin clarity, elasticity and tone; wrinkles are also reduced. Impurities that clog epidermal glands, and internal toxins, are released through the skin and easily washed away, leaving a vibrant complexion.

Summer poses exercise challenges, but opportunities always exist when obstacles force redirection. Why wait for stifling temperatures to drop? With so many unexpected therapeutic benefits, infrared saunas should be a regular part of your healthstyle routine now. sunlighten.com

When you think of saunas, do images of idyllic Scandinavian winter scenes come to mind? Most of us know the traditional benefits associated with sauna use, including relaxation, stress reduction, sweating and toxin release.

You don’t have to wait for frigid conditions to enjoy these other surprising infrared sauna health hacks.

Most people aren’t fortunate enough to live in Aspen, where year-round outdoor activities abound. In most of the United States, high temperatures and humidity preclude outdoor aerobic activities during the summer months. Perhaps injury or health conditions prevent you from regular cardio training. Try passive cardiovascular conditioning instead. A 15- to 30-minute far infrared sauna session has been clinically shown to increase heart rate and cardiac output, boost your metabolic rate and burn up to 600 calories. That is equivalent to a 60-minute jog. I have a Sunlighten at home and highly recommend the brand of infrared saunas.

Lazy days of summer don’t have to equate to weight gain. Within two weeks of daily far infrared sauna use, fasting blood sugar levels decrease by up to five points.

After three months, reduction in both weight and waist circumference are common. The mechanism responsible for these changes is thought to be increased glucose uptake by muscles.

COMPASSIONATE CANCER CARE

As a child growing up in Korea, Dr. Samuel Ryu found a small stick and started injecting it, like a syringe, into his mother’s arm. At least that’s the story that she relayed to him years later.

Dr. Ryu, the deputy director for Clinical Affairs for the Stony Brook University Cancer Center and designated director of the Phillips Family Cancer Center in Southampton, remembers making the decision to pursue a career in medicine while in high school. “Caring for human life appeared to be quite fascinating, and I felt that developing things to help mankind would be rewarding,” he says. “I have a big heart for helping people.”

He attended medical school in Korea, which was “extremely competitive,” he recalls. It was there he discovered a love for research, realizing he could save more lives by creating new treatments for illnesses than by ministering to patients individually. “That’s why I came to the U.S.,” he says.

“In the late ’80s, I dedicated myself to laboratory research for five years, and was able to publish.”

When Dr. Ryu heard Richard Klausner, then the director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), speak about the need for more clinical

Dr. Samuel Ryu’s philosophy: “See the person there.”

late ’90s, the technology was improving. By the year 2000, Dr, Ryu had successfully performed spinal radiosurgery on a cat, a mammal whose spines are much more flexible than those of humans. “I was convinced we could do it on humans,” says Dr. Ryu, “so we started the first clinical trial.”

Twenty years later, radiosurgery of the spine is a routine procedure. As cancer researchers have made headway, particularly with recent breakthroughs in immunotherapy for patients with solid tumors and blood cancers, Dr. Ryu’s priorities have shifted.

“In the 1990s, the goal of cancer treatment was to make people survive. Now, the survival rate is better, so we’re focused on quality of life.” Dr. Ryu, specifically, has studied how to mitigate the

trials designed to improve health outcomes, Dr. Ryu decided to dedicate himself to improving cancer care: He was then, and remains today, all about the patient. “When I see patients, I see the entire person, not only cancer. And when I talk to med students and residents, I say, ‘See the person there.’”

Dr. Ryu became known as an expert in the field of radiosurgery. While the technology has existed for 50 or 60 years, it was initially used to treat brain lesions.

But after performing the procedure during the 1990s, “I thought, we can probably do this on the spinal cord because it’s so targeted.

But with the spinal cord, there was the added risk of paralysis because, unlike the brain, the body has involuntary movement.” In the 44

If we know what that is, we can improve it.” Dr. Ryu admits that answers have been slow to materialize, but he’s made some progress. “A little bit of understanding adds a lot for quality of life,” he says.

Since joining the Department of Radiation Oncology at Stony Brook University Hospital in April of 2014 as Department Chair, Dr. Ryu spends much of his time mentoring junior faculty members. He continues his research into the most aggressive brain tumor cancers, or glioblastomas, like those that claimed the lives of both Sen. John McCain and Joe Biden’s son, Beau. Dr. Ryu is developing clinical trials so that patients with glioblastomas can be treated at the Phillips Family Cancer Center in Southampton. “Usually, they can only receive such clinical trial treatment at larger university hospitals,” he says. “Treatments should be made easy for the patient to be treated closer to home with family.”

CALORIES IN, CALORIES OUT.

the menu, their addictive qualities can make resistance even tougher, if not futile, for all but the most determined weight warrior.

So what’s the best strategy for those battling the weight beast? I like the multipronged approach: slashing refined carbs; dumping added sugar and processed foods completely; and keeping even naturally occurring sugars—like the kind in fruits and starchy veggies—to a minimum.

Maybe that sounds challenging, but you’ll be filling up on healthy whole foods instead of poisoning yourself with small portions of processed ones (leaving you hungry an hour later). The biggest bonus of all? Ditching sugar and refined carbs often cuts carbs enough to force the body to burn fat for fuel (instead of sugar and carbs), which is ideal for those looking to drop the pounds.

Your body is not a calculator. It’s an incredibly complex organism that needs proper hydration and food packed with minerals, nutrients and vitamins to function at its best.

As fun as it may be for some dieters to do the caloric math, a daily intake of 1,500 calories of crap is not remotely nutritionally equivalent to 1,500 calories of greens, pasture-raised meats and colorful veggies. If you eliminate processed foods from the equation and make whole foods your default, foods that are naturally high in satiating fiber and healthy fats, your body will be less prone to overeating and you can toss the calculator away. In other words, when it comes to calories, it’s the quality of the calories that matters. It’s about maximizing the nutrients per serving, and making sure there’s enough fiber, protein from healthy sources, and good fats in each meal to feel healthfully full and fueled.

But can’t you lose weight on a trendy crash diet? Of course you can, but at a cost. Extreme diets are rarely sustainable, often lead to rebound weight gain and bring with them side effects like slowed metabolism, low energy, lowered immunity and even hair loss for weeks afterward— terrible trade-offs all!

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHEN YOU EAT. Not true! When you eat matters, as does frequency, so ditch the multiple-mini-meal mantra that was all the rage a few years back. One of the best things you can do to help normalize weight is to practice intermittent fasting.

A traditional rule of thumb is to allow 12 to 16 hours between dinner and breakfast; for instance, dinner at 7PM and breakfast at 7AM. What’s the payoff? A more efficient metabolism. Your body will do more with less of everything—lower blood sugar and insulin levels, less fat buildup and inflammation. Think of it this way: Since we burn calories more efficiently, with less insulin, during the day, that’s when we should take in most of our calories, instead of dumping them on the late-night dinner plate just as our calorie-burning machinery is winding down. Unfortunately, those late-night noshes re-prime the insulin pump as we’re hitting the hay, making those calories less likely to be burned by our muscles—and more likely to be stored as fat. In other words, the battle of the bulge can be fought by ascribing to the old adage “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” Please note: “breakfast” just means break-fast; it’s your first meal after fasting overnight. Having that first meal later and your last meal earlier—that is, restricting the hours you eat to eight or 10—can be extremely helpful for weight loss.

HIT THE GYM HARD—EVERY DAY—TO DROP POUNDS. The more you move, the fitter you will be, but not necessarily thinner. Movement, as much as you can squeeze into the average day, is essential. Most of us, however, were raised to believe that more exercise equals more weight loss, but that’s not the case. In fact, working out like a pro athlete (when you’re not one) can have the opposite effect. Overdoing it by wearing yourself out with a pummeling daily gym routine or hours on the treadmill stresses the system, thereby boosting the production of cortisol, aka the ‘stress hormone.’ Higher cortisol levels can promote insulin resistance, which encourages the body to hold on to fat, making losing weight a lot tougher. And all that exercise will likely make you that much hungrier, so you’re likely to eat more.

What to do instead? Learn how to exercise smarter—not longer or harder. Move more every day and throughout the day. Mix up your routine. Walk outdoors one day and lift weights at the gym the next. Alternate spin class with yoga and some high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Change up movement daily to keep your body guessing and your hormones in balance.

HOW I SLEEP DOES NOT AFFECT MY WEIGHT. In a word, wrong! Sleep matters. A lot. And it can help keep your weight in check, so snooze if you want to lose (weight, that is). Ever notice how when you’re burning the candle at both ends, weight seems to skyrocket? Not getting enough sleep, especially chronic sleep deprivation, causes hormonal changes that can slow weight loss or, worse, promote weight gain. Shorting yourself on sleep reduces leptin, the hormone that helps regulate body weight. Bottom line: Get your rest if you want to win at weight loss. drfranklipman.com

EAT WHAT YOU WANT, JUST EAT SMALL PORTIONS. A little bit of everything is great in theory but, in practice, such a rational approach can be nearly impossible for those of us with weight issues. How much is too much can be tough to gauge. When sugar and refined carbs are on 48

THE NEXT WAVE IN LYME TREATMENT? The Rife machine, and its mighty audio weaponry, may provide a powerful path to healing.

BY SHARON CARDEL

irritability), tinnitus, vertigo and testicular/pelvic pain.

In the early ’90s, a man named Doug MacLean and his family became infected with Lyme disease. Incredibly ill and unable to find a cure for himself through traditional medicine, he went in search of anything that might help.

In time, he learned about Rife’s wave machines and built a version of his own. This was the birth of the Doug Coil machine. His design is still used by engineers around the country who build them for use by sufferers of chronic Lyme. The machines are made of four component parts: an amplifier, a frequency generator, a capacitor box and a wire coil. The concept is to emit sound waves at the right frequency, with enough amplitude, to damage the Lyme spirochetes.

MacLean was able to obtain bacteria from the CDC, and first conducted experiments on them in vitro. He was able to see the spirochetes become damaged and die off from the application of specific frequencies.

He then conducted experiments on himself and his wife. He was able to begin the process of putting together a methodology for systematically killing off the Lyme. He also documented the Jarisch-Herxheimer reactions that could be expected from release of neurotoxins during the process of die-off. These Herx reactions are common when taking antibiotics or applying any treatment that kills off the spirochetes that cause Lyme disease. When using a coil machine, it is important to regulate exposure, so that die-off is within a range that your body is able to adequately eliminate. Elimination of toxins is key to this method’s efficacy.

Stanislav Kondratiev

The CDC estimates that some 300,000 people will contract Lyme disease this year. Many will go undiagnosed, be misdiagnosed, or receive inadequate treatment. The path back to wellness from this illness is not always straight or well-defined. If the prescribed antibiotics are unable to eradicate the disease, a search for nontraditional modalities begins. Homeopathics, herbs, immune building, bee venom therapy, supplements, and so many other approaches can be incorporated into a protocol for healing.

In my desperation to find a cure for my many symptoms, I learned about a little-known method of treatment: a Rife machine. In the Lyme community, it is one of many go-to protocols. A Rife machine is an electromagnetic apparatus which emits variable audio waves that alter individual pathogens, such as the Lyme spirochete. Royal Rife was the inventor who developed the original technology. His research and execution built the original machines in the 1930s. Using the key scientific principles of inductance, resonance and frequency, he was able to achieve what he described as a “mortal oscillatory rate,” or MOR. These individual rates were shown to destroy microorganisms that lead to the many insidious manifestations of Lyme disease: fatigue, myalgia, headaches, fevers and/or chills, night sweats, gastrointestinal distress, swollen glands and/or sore throat, stiff neck, joint and muscle pain (migrating), back pain, jaw pain, chest pain and palpitations, cranial nerve disturbance (tingling sensations, numbness), sleep disturbance, problems with concentration and memory, psychiatric manifestations (depression, mood swings,

HYDROGEN THERAPY

By taming free radicals and combating cellular stress, inhaled H2 may offer a pipeline to improved health and well-being. BY TAPP FRANCKE free radicals and make them happy and content. In short, if everyone has a dance partner, no one feels the need to steal someone else’s.

But why hydrogen? Hydrogen is one of the most plentiful elements in the human body. Along with oxygen, nitrogen and carbon, these elements make up 96 percent of a person’s constitution. Hydrogen is present in the body mostly in the form of water. H20 is a molecule made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. As water makes up approximately 60 percent of the body, you can see how essential hydrogen is for our basic survival. H2 is particularly well-suited to this particular task because of its unique ability to disseminate through membranes—even through the hard-to-cross blood-brain barrier. What this means is that inhaled H2 can help to reduce oxidative stress damage throughout the body, including the brain.

Inhaled hydrogen therapy usually consists of inhaling the odorless gas through a nasal cannula, which takes half an hour. What the clients in my office report after using this therapy is that they feel happier and more energetic.

As H2 can protect your cells against oxidative damage, it can help both chronic and acute causes of cellular stress.

Chronic infections, methylation problems and autoimmune diseases all respond well to this helpful tool, as does anyone who experiences external stress from traffic, work, toxic relationships, or—let’s be real—just life. Continued use of this therapy can help to reduce both the internal and external signs of cellular damage and help us all to live longer, healthier and happier lives.

Inhaled hydrogen therapy is available at STANDwellness in Water Mill. standwellness.com

Inhaled hydrogen is making positive waves as the new “it” therapy on the integrative medicine scene. Why? Because molecular hydrogen (H2) is a potent cellular antioxidant with the capacity to increase the body’s pH and give us energy. Oxidative stress, which can come from both external and internal sources, is the big bad wolf in our current culture. Working too much, not enough downtime, not enough rest, poor food choices, chemical exposures and infections can all contribute to this stress-based energy-sucker.

Cellular damage from oxidative stress is a part of the natural process of aging. As the body gets older, it loses the ability to fight as efficiently against these free radicals.

Examples of the outward manifestations of this are wrinkles and decreased energy. Adding additional stress to the natural stress of aging is like adding fuel to the fire. More stress equals more free radicals.

Free radicals are the bad guys. Free radicals are unpaired electrons that roam around your body stealing other cell’s electrons. Our cells, like people, naturally want to be paired up. When they are single electrons (free radicals) they seek to find another electron to pair up with in order to stabilize them. What this does to the molecules the free radicals steal from is to destabilize them through a process called oxidation. This process can cause damage to the cell’s proteins, DNA and cellular membranes. This creates systemic inflammation and tissue damage, and is thought to be at the root cause of most diseases.

What the inhaled hydrogen does is to bind to those free radicals, satisfying them and rendering them harmless. Like match.com for electrons, the inhaled H2 provides a plethora of easily accessible antioxidants to pair up with the

By combining safe mercury-filling removal with high-dose vitamin C IVs, infrared therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatments, clients can experience enhanced detoxification and faster recovery.

Rejuvenation Health, 56 The Circle, East Hampton; 844.REJUVME; rejuvdentist.com

Walking into Rejuvenation Health, one feels an immediate sense of calm and serenity: The building’s clean, modern design offers a perfect setting for the cutting-edge treatments available from Dr. Gerry Curatola, a biologic restorative dentist raising the bar for wellness in the Hamptons. The Center, nestled in the heart of East Hampton, takes a biological approach, placing the focus on an individual’s natural ability to heal. Dr. Curatola’s mission for the Center, he says, is to “bring down the wall between medicine and dentistry.” He stresses the connection between oral health and all aspects of the human body.

Rejuvenation Health is built on four guiding principles: Each individual has a unique biochemical, microbial, genetic, psycho-emotional and spiritual composition.

HARVEST YARD

yard gardens will always be the highest in nutrient content, because there is much less time between harvest and consumption. Additionally, food sourced close to home will have a smaller carbon footprint, making it not just good for your health, but the planet!” Charlotte has influenced the way members of the firm eat, and is a big local proponent of a whole foods-based diet.

“We’re seeing more and more clients spend time in the garden with their kids,” observes Ian Hanbach, a partner at LaGuardia, who notes that clients keep small shovels and water pails so their kids can help maintain the garden. “It’s almost like we’re creating outdoor classrooms for children to learn about plant science and the local environment, and to experience growing their own food from seeds.”

The design and contents of each garden are assembled to suit their location. The result is a space that gives new meaning to the concept of outdoor living room.

Pictured here, a Sagaponack property—canopied by elm trees and surrounded by boxwood parterres, planters and an outdoor kitchen just beyond the gate—is highlighted by a custom-designed table for both daytime and evening alfresco dining. By allowing the participation of all members of the family, these spaces elevate the outdoor entertaining experience beyond just conversation at the dinner table. laguardiadesigngroup.com

What’s for lunch? Ask the leading landscape architecture firm in the Hamptons and they’ll tell you it’s all about locally grown organic food. But when they say locally grown, they don’t mean at the farm stand down the road; they mean in your very own organic garden. At LaGuardia Design Group, farm-to-table has become almost as important as design. “When you take organically grown vegetables picked at 5, place them on the grill at 7, and serve them at 7:30, right in the garden, your guests notice. And it tastes amazing,” says Chris LaGuardia, who has an organic garden at his home in Water Mill.

This social and culinary movement, which has taken over restaurant industry practices, promotes serving locally grown and organic food, most often by direct acquisition from the farm. LaGuardia Design Group has responded to this trend, and is expert at creating elegant spaces for growing, preparing and eating all within a few steps of the home. In addition to the planting beds, herbs grown in pots are picked for garnishes, seasoning, and the creation of evening cocktails.

Charlotte LaGuardia, daughter of Chris LaGuardia, a clinical nutritionist and owner of the integrative Thrive East in Water Mill, weighs in on the benefits of accessible clean eating: “There has been an increase in demand for quality, nutrient-dense food. Produce from local farms and back60

SOUL PROVIDER Khajak Keledjian, founder of Intermix, followed his passion for wellness and created the next-level meditation center and app, Inscape. Purist spoke with Keledjian about building a mindful business and finding peace in East Hampton. BY CRISTINA CUOMO • PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARILI FORASTIERI

S PAC E

The living room, which offers the feel of being outdoors, features an installation by artist Paul Villinski of dozens of butterflies made out of recycled cans. The sculpted butterflies flutter with a breeze.

CRISTINA CUOMO: What inspired Inscape?

KHAJAK KELEDJIAN: During 2008, the recession, I started doing meditation and yoga. I wanted to go somewhere, a physical location, where it’s calm, efficient, secular, modern, contemporary—an “inscape”—and I couldn’t find that in New York. I sold Intermix in 2012 to The Gap and decided to fill a void in the marketplace. When apps were taking off, I created an app as well. I wanted to put everything under one umbrella.

KK: The architect, Shigeru Ban, won a Pritzker Prize a couple of years ago. I fell in love with the house from the moment I saw it. For me it’s like a little sanctuary. When I bought the trees around me, they were like 15 to 20 feet in height; now they’re twice that size. It has a design that works very well in the wintertime and in the summertime. It’s not just a summer beach house, it’s summer and winter. I actually spend more time here in the winter than I do in summer. September through October and May through June are my favorite months here, because it’s quiet and relaxing. There’s less traffic.

The house has different zones—the living room, if you notice, it has two sections. One section is a little bit more playful, and another section is a little bit more flowy. The windows open all the way, so you don’t know if you’re inside or outside.

CC: What’s the science behind Inscape’s philosophy and technique?

KK: We don’t have our own; we’re not like TM, where we have a particular meditation. What we have done is worked with all the well-known teachers, yogis, on curating different types of modalities of meditations. We’ve put all the apps in one unique voice, so this way there is consistency for people who are coming to the physical studio and listening to the app. If you’re not able to fall asleep, or you left your office and need a quick afternoon lift, you can do an app in under five minutes. They all have the same background sounds, so they play off each other. Within each app are different techniques, different practices: Some are focus-based, some are mindfulness-based, some are mantra-based, some are soundscapes, some are body scans.

CC: In addition to meditating, what other daily or weekly practices do you use to maintain a sense of balance and well-being at home?

KK: Yoga, for sure. That’s my default six days a week, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half. Sometimes on a Sunday if I wake up really early, I can go for two hours. I like cycling, rowing, sometimes running, swimming.

Indoor, outdoor, I need to do it. I started kitesurfing eight years ago. I just went kitesurfing a month ago, and my posture, my flexibility, everything is just better. Ever since I started doing yoga, in the past 10 years, every workout I’ve done is better.

CC: You have a quite modern, simple, clean aesthetic and sensibility. Having been the founder of Intermix, at the forefront of curating fashion, and now moving into this wellness base, your home really reflects your professional path. Tell me about the design of your home.

MAKING PLANS

Reading architectural blueprints can be as absorbing and entertaining as diving into a blockbuster novel. BY JAMES MERRELL

Next, recognize that each path you take through a plan is like a plot, or subplot, in the lives of those who might live there. After all, every house will have lots of readers. Respect the fact that in a great story, even minor characters are essential to the impact and understanding of the final product. The passage from garage to kitchen, for instance, should be designed with as much care as the path from front door to living room. Houses are nothing if not evolving family epics.

The plans on this page have another quality worth mentioning: they possess an abstract and graphic beauty all their own. Like Moroccan tile patterns, great diagrams have the ability to trap us in their worlds. We might see symmetries at first, and think we understand their order.

Then we discover asymmetrical moments that contradict, and metaphors emerge. Order vs. chaos. Rules vs. license.

Code vs. mutation.

In his first—and most provocative—book, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, the noted architect Robert Venturi identified complexity and contradiction as two keys essential to architectural thought: our poetics. Opinions will vary, but there can be no doubt that, when viewed in this way, architecture has the capacity to produce pleasures well beyond those we associate with the images of luxury captured by photographs.

Most Hamptons houses are designed to fulfill client dreams of luxury and lifestyle, in a process that relies heavily on photos. But architecture is also an art, with the capacity to provoke thought. And you can’t see architectural thought in photos, really. You need to look at floor plans.

When I say this, my clients insist that they “can’t read plans.” This is no surprise, since we live in a world where even shelter magazines no longer print floor plans on their glossy pages. But plans do matter, because that’s where buildings are conceptualized—the napkin sketch. As the Renaissance architect, Leon Battista Alberti, famously proclaimed: Architects make drawings!

I assure my clients that plans are not difficult to read.

They are just diagrams, little different from a subway map or the game board for Clue. I also offer them this insight: Architecture is not just a visual art, it is a narrative art as well. You can employ the skills you acquired in school for analyzing books and movies to discover the art in our designs. If you know poetry, all the better.

Try this approach with the plans on this page. First, think of rooms as characters, then find the front door and start “walking” through the plans, looking for clues about each space. We’ve purposely removed the easy clues, like furniture and cabinetry, so you will have to look closely. You’ll quickly see how easy this becomes.

Flowing spaces and spectacular views at 2 West Water Street

WATERFRONT WONDER

residence comes with ample garage space.

The village of Sag Harbor, Jay Bialsky and attorney Adam Miller have collaborated to ensure the new residences will upgrade the landscape without straying from its traditional aesthetics. “The Adam Miller Group has been invaluable in helping to bring this vision to life in record time, utilizing their years of experience and stellar team,” says Bialsky. The land, originally owned by Greystone Development, was planned to house 13 condominiums. When Bialsky acquired the plots in 2018, he had a different vision.

Although it made economic sense to build up the spread, he always knew flowing spaces and a park would be a better fit for the community and his own family. In early 2019, Bialsky’s construction plans were adjusted, keeping the needs of neighboring residents in mind. The third unit was scaled down from 7,200 square feet to 5,600, and the rooftop pavilion reduced by 66 percent. Miller expresses his satisfaction with the agreement: “Working with Jay Bialsky on this challenging and rewarding transaction allowed us to exercise the depth of our real estate practice. With Jay’s incredible vision, attorneys Brian Desesa, Brian Locascio and I were able to navigate the real estate, the Village and the Town to negotiate a deal that will forever change the face of the Village and allow public access to a waterfront park.” 2wwsagharbor.com

Big upgrades are coming soon to the Sag Harbor bay. A new public park, named after late author and Sag Harbor resident John Steinbeck, will be a stone’s throw away from developer Jay Bialsky’s new waterfront residences, 2 West Water Street. Both spaces are designed to preserve and complement the character of historic Sag Harbor Village.

The development, located in one of the most coveted lifestyle destinations in the Hamptons, will blend modern luxuries with the tranquility of nature. Anticipated renovations of the neighboring Long Wharf, including a hardwood pedestrian boardwalk and viewing area, will soon unite it with both the park and new homes.

2 West Water Street is comprised of a trio of ultra-luxury waterfront residences (two of which are available for sale), and has the distinction of being Sag Harbor’s tallest new building in the last century. Spaces will feel light and airy, with an open breezeway providing stunning water views.

Embracing the rich history of Sag Harbor architecture, realized in contemporary form, 2WW’s groundbreaking design is rooted in the past, yet crafted with a look to the future.

The property’s strategic layout ensures residents will never have to hop in the car. One can fly in on a seaplane, or sail via yacht into one of the two boat slips included with each unit. Main Street’s world-class dining and shopping are only a short stroll away as well. If driving is your style, each 74

The private beach at Gurney’s Star Island Resort & Marina

ISLE OF ZEN

Gurney’s Resorts owner George Filopoulos speaks with Purist about the brand’s new Star Island location—a destination for sustainable dining (and vegan ice cream), sound sleep, seasonal boaters, therapeutic treatments and a private beach.

PURIST: What’s your vision for Gurney’s Star Island Resort & Marina?

George Filopoulos: With the new property, we are thrilled to unveil a second location in Montauk that extends the Gurney’s experience out to Star Island, while introducing a new type of stay, designed to feature amenities centered around the water, including fantastic guest accommodations, unique dining concepts, outdoor facilities and an array of private spaces for events. We’re also focused on community engagement by integrating local businesses and partnering with like-minded brands for wellness and retail pop-ups to elevate the guest experience. Our vision with the opening of Gurney’s Star Island Resort & Marina is to create a memorable destination for travelers, locals, boaters and large groups alike, through the incredible service and space.

PURIST: What sets Star Island apart from the other Gurney’s locations?

GF: When guests experience it, they are surrounded by the organic beauty of the destination, as the property delivers a lively waterfront vibe set against the backdrop of the area’s most impressive marina. It also brings an exciting addition to Montauk’s dining scene with Showfish, an original culinary concept that focuses on localism, seasonality and sustainability. We’re lucky to be in such an ingredient-rich area with so much access to world-class seafood and produce. And the resort is central to Montauk’s commercial fishing port, which means we can easily source tilefish, lobster, crab and more.

Favorable for families, Gurney’s Star Island has a stellar kids initiative and has partnered with the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program to deliver a custom youth-education program that includes impactful topics like water quality, aquaculture, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) and fisheries.

The sweetest part of the new resort is the opening of Van Leeuwen’s first brick-and-mortar scoop shop located in a hotel. It has been an honor for us to bring the beloved ice cream brand to Montauk to offer guests their signature scoops (classic and vegan options) as well as the new “Weekend at Gurney’s” creation—the ultimate s’mores flavor with a twist. gurneysresorts.com

PURIST: The 13-acre island underwent a whopping $13 million renovation to become the Gurney’s compound it is now. What inspired the design?

GF: The design stays true to the brand’s coastal aesthetic and origin. Inspired by its nautical history, the resort showcases an earthy, neutral color palette and maritime elements throughout its 107 guest rooms and public spaces. It’s home to the largest marina in the Hamptons, so our goal was to incorporate the stunning waterfront views as much as possible. From the tone of the walls and flooring to the light fixtures, we wanted to create a luxury feel without overpowering the natural setting, which is in many ways our 78

Louise Phillips Forbes makes a graceful segue from dance to real estate.

A fully renovated 1840s retreat in Sag Harbor

82

The dream of a career in dance is what brought Nashville native Louise Phillips Forbes to New York City. But a back injury sustained while auditioning for a revival of A Chorus Line led Phillips Forbes to her current profession, another field centering on movement. “In real estate,” says the Halstead agent, “we are dancing all the time!” Having mastered the complex choreography of buying and selling, renting and leasing, she appreciates the relationship between realty and rhythm: “Both demand self-discipline.”

Years of dance training show in the respect Phillips Forbes accords her body, no matter how overbooked her day becomes. Taking care to make time for meditation, she diligently avoids repetitive stress by alternating between different workout routines; hot yoga, SoulCycle and Punch Force are her current favorites. She also gets in a 6AM SportsLab date with her husband every week where they train together with owner John Lippert.

“Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn’t music,” wrote the poet William Stafford. Little wonder that Phillips Forbes, a mom of two, connects deeply with children wherever she goes, and is a proud 20-year supporter of Change for Kids. The nonprofit’s mission is to create opportunities for kids so they can overcome inequity. It provides critical support, experiences and access so kids in New York City public schools can reimagine their possibilities. “I can’t change the educational system,” she allows. “But by helping to overcome inequities, I can affect one child, one class, one school, one community at a time.” —Julia Szabo

HURRICANE SEASON PREP Ben Dollinger, risk adviser at Amaden Gay Agencies, gives top tips to make sure you’re prepared and covered.

1 Check your insurance coverage before hurricane season. Take note of specifics, including deductibles. Your coverage may vary based on storm category, flooding or wind damage.

Adjust your policy as necessary before an emergency, as most new policies take effect after 30 days.

2

Make a plan. Ensure everyone in

your home is aware of your community’s disaster-preparedness protocol, and establish a family-specific meet-up point in the event of an evacuation.

Assemble an emergency kit. Fill up gas tanks and charge electronics.

Keep water, nonperishable food, first-aid kits, blankets and batteries on hand. Store tools such as flashlights, chargers, jumper cables and repair kits in a safe, easily accessible place.

3

Protect your property. Trim large shrubbery in advance. Bring all lawn decorations, patio furniture, bicycles and other heavy outdoor belongings inside. Windows and doors should be 4

84

shuttered, awnings closed, and wall-hangings (art pieces, décor) should be taken down.

5 Secure important possessions and documents (birth certificates, financial records, insurance information) in waterproof containers. Keep a catalog with descriptions of high-value belongings, including jewelry and collectibles.

6 Prepare for flooding. Cars should be parked on high ground, if possible.

Household items should be stored in an interior room, and placed at least 3 inches off the floor. amadengay.com

to switch things up,” she says of her career pivot. “I felt like I needed a new challenge.”

Her quest for statement-making jewelry evolved into launching a line of her own. To do so, she tapped into her interior design skills—expert sourcing, refined curation and color balance—and began traveling to France and Italy to find inspiration and new materials. She named the line Merrichase, a term her late father coined to mean “happy hunt,” she explains. “It’s that feeling of experiencing something exciting.”

Now, with the opening of the pop-up Southampton storefront, Powers is thrilled to deliver that feeling in person, while continuing to sell online and at trunk shows. “People’s eyes light up when they walk in. I love seeing people find something that will make them the center of attention. I wish everyone could experience that.” To that end, Powers is already planning more Merrichase pop-ups in the future.

Merrichase, 56 Jobs Lane, Southampton; 631.377.3854; through Sept. 4.; merrichase.com.

Merrichase, Jennifer Powers’ bright and artistic costume jewelry and handbag label, is designed to be showstopping. Each item effortlessly balances color, texture and unexpectedly oversize proportions. A flower necklace is crafted with hand-poured glass and glossy pearls, while a tassel design features hand-crocheted silks in a rainbow of rich hues. “These are meant to catch people’s eyes,” Powers says of the items in her collections, which range in price from $100 to $1,000. “It is jewelry that starts conversations and gets reactions. Diamond studs don’t do that.”

The first Merrichase pop-up outpost opened in Southampton the week after Memorial Day, and it’s already a success. “One woman jogged by during her morning run and stopped right in front of the store. Then she came in and bought two pieces,” says Powers. “That’s the reaction I want people to have—a stop-in-their-tracks feeling.”

Creating looks that turn heads comes naturally to Powers, who spent two decades as an interior designer before venturing into the world of accessories in 2014. “It was time 98

STYLE GUYS

Designer Todd Snyder and photographer/model/restaurateur Lincoln Pilcher teamed up on a collaboration for Pilcher’s East Hampton hot spot Moby’s. Here, they give Purist some pointers on looking effortlessly chic and enjoying the ride. BY RAY ROGERS for a perfect summer evening, so it was amazing to capture that energy in our designs.

RAY ROGERS: Todd, you have what I’d consider a classic American sense of style—a sort of relaxed sophistication. What were some key influences or pivotal life experiences that have informed your aesthetic as a designer?

TODD SNYDER: I definitely love New York, and while the brand maintains those urban roots in its aesthetic, growing up in the Midwest has always influenced my approach to design and style.

My dad was a watch man, so he inspired my own love for timepieces. And in terms of style, my family always made a point to clean up, meaning look nice, for a meal, so I’ve grown to appreciate the importance of “cleaning up”—which you can do in big and small ways every day.

RR: Why was this partnership a good fit for each of you?

LP: Todd and I met, and we instantly shared the same ideas and views on what ‘summer in the Hamptons’ evoked. I have always loved Champion hoodies and Todd was already in partnership with them, so it was a perfect fit.

TS: I think our shared passion for the Hamptons is what made this partnership a great fit. Moby’s is the ideal spot

RR: Todd, what was your vision for the Moby’s apparel?

TS: I wanted to create something timeless that was reflective of Moby’s hip vibe and beautiful backdrop.

RR: Lincoln, how did you react when you saw the sketches and

final products?

LP: I loved them. We had begun our process with a drawing of a whale that one of our employees had done on a chalkboard ages ago, back at the old Moby’s venue. From there we added design elements, colors and our logos.

RR: Did you two know each other before collaborating?

TS: Yes, we were fast friends and I was drawn to his personal style. I also spend a lot of time at Moby’s when I’m in town, so it was inevitable that we’d get to know each other.

LP: I was part of his catalog and did an interview and shoot with his team, and from there it grew into a great summer collaboration with Moby’s.

RR: Todd, that car you tricked out is impossibly chic. That was your first automotive collaboration. What was that experience like for you?

TS: It was awesome to work with Nelson and Juan Diego 106

RR: Lincoln, coming from Australia, where your mom was the editor of Australian Vogue, I’m guessing you were surrounded by style and fashion from an early age, even before beginning to model or becoming a fashion photographer. What were your early influences that informed your sense of style?

LINCOLN PILCHER: My mother was an incredible style influence, both in fashion and entertaining. It was her sense of ease and simplicity that deeply resonated with me and helped shape my taste today. Our home in Australia was always a hub for her fashion friends, delicious long lunches on the deck. She is also an excellent cook, clean and simple beautiful meals with exquisite table settings.

RR: Is there a shared sense of style, values?

LP: Yes, we both have similar sensibilities in relation to what people would want from a T-shirt or hoodie.

Good quality and fun design were the common goals for this capsule collaboration.

TS: Absolutely. I think that’s what initially drew us together—we had a lot of the same style sensibilities, but also a passion for our work that drives us to deliver at the highest quality.

WEEKEND

Calle at The FJ Company for the Land Cruiser collaboration—really a dream come true, since I’ve been a fan of their work for over 10 years now. I was especially excited to put a more personal spin on these very classic trucks to make it more authentic to my brand. We picked out these great colors that are central to the brand’s aesthetic, and I wanted to work with Red Wing on a really special leather for the interior, so it was like combining the best parts of my world as a designer in this beautiful truck.

RR: It sold at the Moby’s event. Was it hard to part with?

TS: Definitely! All of the features of the Land Cruiser we created are so reflective of who I am and what inspires me, so I’m glad that the new owner gets to experience all of that firsthand and hopefully have the same great experience that I did.

RR: Lincoln, what’s your ride? If you had the opportunity to create a dream car, what would it look like?

LP: I drive a Chevy pickup, but I am on the hunt for a 1970s Porsche 911!

Pilcher displays effortless style in East Hampton.

RR: How much thought and care goes into the aesthetics of not just what you wear, but how you get around, where and how you live and work—does everything have a specific point of view, style-wise?

LP: My personal style is pretty effortless—out East, I’m surfing and at Moby’s, so it’s casual.

TS: I definitely put a lot of thought into everyday aesthetics, especially since my job always has me thinking visually about everything. I think the way you present yourself with your wardrobe, your car or your living space definitely affects your confidence and mood—and you can do it in a totally unpretentious, approachable way. I’m a huge fan of the classics, so I tend to gravitate toward tried-and-true styles, but I’m constantly thinking about how I can put my own twist on it and make it more modern.

environment, but in a way that still feels authentic to me. I get a lot of great design inspiration from doing that.

RR: You both work in pretty demanding industries. How do you keep sane and fit?

TS: I think it’s extremely important creatively to unplug and recharge every once in a while. As I mentioned, I love to travel and use this as my time to reset. It’s also important to stay physically active, and a good sweat can also help boost creativity. I’m personally a big fan of spinning and love to lock in and check out for 45 minutes.

LP: A good game of tennis is a must to clear the head! I also cycle and swim most mornings; Albert’s Landing is the best pool in the Hamptons.

RR: Lincoln, what are your plans for the last glorious days of summer? Moby’s is at its peak season now. Do you have any downtime? What do you make a point to sneak in, even if you don’t get much time off?

LP: There is not much downtime at the moment but any chance I get I head to Montauk for a surf and lunch at Hideaway.

RR: What is your ultimate summer hang—and how do you dress for it?

LP: Best summer hang is always a great day at the beach followed by a dinner at Moby’s! Buck Mason are my fave pants at the moment and I love a great RRL shirt and always a Vans slip-on, and of course a Todd Snyder Moby’s hoodie!

TS: I generally don’t have just one consistent spot, so I tend to go to a bunch of places for summer travel. Locally, I love hanging out at my friends’ places in the Hamptons for a dinner if we’re not at a restaurant in town. A light cotton shirt goes a long way in this heat, and I love a good pair of sneakers at any time of day.

RR: How about you, Todd? With fashion week coming up, do you get any R&R in?

TS: I start every season with a trip somewhere. I find that’s the best way to clear my head and force myself to think differently. And I switch it up destinations every year, so I don’t get stuck in a routine. In terms of travel style, I’m usually inspired by the destination itself, so I dress to adapt to my 108

HEALTHY SUMMER INDULGENCES

This season Juice Press offers new guilt-free ice cream, nonalcoholic beer, and other ideal ways to beat the heat and keep energized. BY JULIA SZABO protein granola (or choose from these other toppings: quinoa puffs, Tibetan goji berries, maple coconut flakes and chocolate chips).

Certain iconic beer brands have come under fire for brewing with GMO grains and corn syrup—and failing to disclose those ingredients. Taking a cue from Germany, where breweries hew to a centuries-old purity code and booze-free bier is guzzled by Olympic-caliber athletes, Juice Press serves a nonalcoholic beer made of just four components: water, barley, hops and yeast. Produced in collaboration with Athletic Brewing Company, it’s an effective energy drink that fights inflammation and boosts post-workout recovery.

For hard-core hydration, this summer’s limited-edition beverages are Watermelon Juice—liquid lycopene enhanced with “proviotic,” JP’s signature vegan probiotic— and Tart Cherry Coconut Water, a refreshing treat made of electrolyte-rich young Thai coconut. These taste even cooler sipped from reusable straws and containers—metal straws and S’well bottles, both, conveniently, now sold at Juice Press. juicepress.com.

For wellness warriors, summertime is about staying on the straight and narrow: keeping hydrated and combating the adverse effects of extreme heat. But it’s also the season of cold beers, wine coolers and ice cream. Appreciating this dilemma, Juice Press lets customers enjoy both sides of summer, the nice and the naughty.

(V)ice Cream is Juice Press’s take on the dairy-free frozen-treat trend. So, what distinguishes this craveable confection from so many others on the market? (V)ice Cream is so guilt-free, it’s practically a multivitamin: “Many nondairy ice creams use chemicals and processed ingredients to achieve their flavor and texture, as well as refined sugars to create a creamy consistency,” says Erica Karsch, Juice Press co-owner. “Instead, we handcrafted ours using a blend of superfood ingredients—like baobab, an African fruit high in antioxidants; kudzu root, an ancient Chinese root rich in iron and calcium; and arrowroot, a tropical plant containing B vitamins, zinc and magnesium.”

Add a scoop to your favorite Juice Press smoothie—and, if you skipped breakfast, enjoy it for dessert by crowning a bowl of (V)ice Cream with Juice Press’s delicious new 112

I wasn’t convinced pills were the answer. There had to be a link between what I was eating and my health. I cut diet soda out of my routine, and started drinking water instead.

Three months later, my acne was gone, I was bursting with energy, and I had lost 40 pounds.

During my time as founder and CEO, I have to say one of the coolest perks of the job is being a mentor to other women and men. A few years ago, my son said to me, “There aren’t very many female CEOs, so how did you get there? Because you’ve always been the CEO since I was little.”

Short answer: It’s taken a lot of patience and hard work. I meet lots of people right out of college who want to start their own company and I always tell them, “Walk before you run.” It’s not impossible to launch your own business, but there’s nothing wrong with working for someone for a while. Use it as a starting point for doing bigger and better things.

It’s also important to do something you truly care about. Passion is what fuels you, and I also think most people would love to say their legacy is, “I made a difference.”

THE SPIRIT OF THE ISLANDS

Lynn Calvo, creator of Montauk’s cult-favorite tiki bar, Lynn’s Hula Hut, just launched a tropical line of liquors, Hula Hut Spirits, inspired by the natural infusions she’s made over the years. BY RAY ROGERS Hula Hut Spirits comes in three tropical flavors.

The refreshing Hukilau Lemonade

Mango Cita

2 oz. Lé Tahitian vodka (Tahitian vanilla bean) ½ oz. fresh lemon juice 2 oz. mango nectar

Mango slice Combine vodka, lemon juice and mango nectar in an ice-filled shaker glass.

Shake, then strain into a 12 oz. glass full of ice.

Cut a slit in the mango slice and place on rim of glass.

Hukilau Lemonade

RR: You are inspired by Tahiti, Gauguin, the tropics. What speaks to your heart and soul about the tropical life?

LC: In the tropics, life is simpler, less is more, which is my philosophy when creating cocktails and spirits. It’s nature at its finest. There’s such an abundance of exotic fruits and herbs.

My creative juices go crazy when I’m in the tropics—no pun intended.

RR: Your brand is built around the idea that “Natural and fresh is best.” The clean spirits

are infused with organic, natural essences of ginger, lemongrass and Tahitian vanilla bean. How does that impact the flavor?

LC: Fresh is always best. It’s how I was brought up. My mother and my grandmother never opened a can of anything. Everything came from the garden.

Hula Hut Spirits began as my top three best-selling natural infusions at Lynn’s Hula Hut: Lé Hukilau vodka has a natural essence of ginger and lemongrass, Lé Tahitian vodka has the essence of Tahitian vanilla bean and pineapple, and Hula Juice rum is an all-natural spiced coconut rum with 14 trade-secret ingredients. You would think that a spiced coconut rum with pineapple juice would be way too sweet, but it’s not at all. It was important to create a spirit that came as close to the “Mother,” as I refer to the original recipes.

I wanted people to be able to enjoy these all year long.

There will also be several brand extensions such as ready-made cocktails—no mixing necessary!—and organic elixirs. The sky’s the limit. hulahutspirits.com.

RAY ROGERS: First you created Lynn’s Hula Hut in Montauk—a much-loved local tiki bar in the Montauk Boat Basin. How did Hula Hut Spirits evolve from there?

LYNN CALVO: Honestly, I never intended to write a cocktail book (Tiki With a Twist) or to start my own liquor brand. I just wanted to do something unique. I’m very passionate about flavors and experimenting with different ingredients, and I love to entertain. Time and time again people told me that I should bottle my infusions, that they were amazing. So I did.

“The brands we work with at The Surf Lodge and Sanctuary go a lot further than responsible products and packaging. They are giving back to the people and the bounty of nature that creates it all.” —Jayma Cardoso role models in the hospitality field in this regard?

JC: I’m a fan of Ronald Sanabria; he leads the Rainforest Alliance’s sustainable tourism program. He is a guardian of sustainable tourism.

PURIST: What are your criteria for responsible brand partnerships at the hotel and what brands you sell at Sanctuary?

JC: An earnest nature to sustainability, community, valuing your partners and a belief in well-being for future generations.

MH: I’ve been coming out to Montauk for my entire life.

Seeing how the town has changed, I try to stay authentic to the old Montauk, while incorporating some of the changes when forging brand partnerships for The Surf Lodge. Our partnerships feel very authentic to Montauk, while also catering to the needs of the new clientele here. We sell brands at The Sanctuary that I’ve found in my travels and that I knew should have a presence in Montauk. Most of the curation is what I use in my everyday wellness routine.

PURIST: How do you vet your partners to ensure everyone is as above-board as they claim?

JC: Certification goes a long way, but more important is commitment to

Groundwater quality is a big area of concern in Montauk. How did you find this solution and what went into the decision to upgrade to an innovative and alternative on-site wastewater treatment system?

JC: Being on Fort Pond, this has always been a priority for us. We worked with both the community and the Town of East Hampton.

There are many powerful and thoughtful voices that played a valuable role in helping us find the very best technology, so that we’d be an asset to the community in the preservation of our fresh water and the environment that thrives upon it.

community. The brands we work with go a lot further than responsible products and packaging... they are giving back to the people and the bounty of nature that creates it all.

PURIST: Tell us about the vegan, cruelty-free and clean beauty products you sell at Sanctuary—everything from Moon Juice to Supergoop! to Costa Brazil.

What’s inspiring about these brands, and bringing them to your clients?

JC: I’m really proud of all the brands we partner with but I hold dear to my heart Costa Brazil; they work closely with Conservation International, which protects the rainforest and indigenous people who inhabit it.

The rainforest creates more than the magic within their beautiful products; it’s the lifeblood of our world.

PURIST: You’ve eliminated single-use plastic at The Surf Lodge. Was that an easy choice to make?

JC: It’s the only choice to make; it’s our chance to be a part of establishing what we value in our community. Eliminating plastic and creating alternatives is vital to healing our oceans.

PURIST: Do the uniforms at Surf Lodge also speak to sustainability?

JC: We’re really blessed to be working with Mavrans for the men’s uniforms; the fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles. For the women’s uniform, it’s Farm Rio; they donate a tree to be planted in the Amazon for each purchase.

PURIST: Any other key ways The Surf Lodge and Sanctuary are focused on environmental sustainability?

JC: We’re also working with H&M Sustainability group and encouraging our guests to recycle their clothes in the H&M bin we have on property. And we partnered with PathWater, which makes reusable

PURIST: One of the biggest initiatives this year is the implementation of a new sustainable septic system.

and recyclable aluminum bottles with a high-quality water inside.

MH: We have partnered with Free People Movement, which just launched an eco-friendly three-piece Econyl workout set. For every 10,000 tons of Econyl raw material used to make this workout gear, as many as 70,000 barrels of crude oil are saved, and 51,100 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions are avoided, all the while reducing the global warming impact of nylon by up to 80 percent.

PURIST: Jayma, you were recently the recipient of the “Women Making Waves” award at the 5th Annual One Ocean charity event in Montauk, put on by the Surfrider Foundation. What did that mean to you?

JC: It’s one of the greatest honors bestowed upon me to help represent the Surfrider Foundation. This is an incredible community-based activation—I encourage everyone to get involved. Not only are you part of healing water, you meet unbelievable people and become part of a movement that will enrich your life and the world around you.

SUMMER JAMS

The Grammy-nominated duo Sofi Tukker, who DJ at The Surf Lodge on Sept. 1, curated the ultimate summer soundtrack for Purist. It’s full of global grooves, feel-good tunes, and a whole lotta love—exactly what you’d expect from this polyglot powerhouse pair.

“Not About You” by Haiku Hands “Haiku Hands are the ultimate dance party.

We love them and we’re taking them on tour with us because they are so fun.”

“Drogba (Joanna)”

by Afro B “We first heard this on a beach in Colombia with Bomba Estéreo, so now every time we hear it we think about dancing on the beach with some of our favorite people.”

“Juice” by Lizzo “This song makes us feel ourselves and feel her and feel the world.”

FIGHTING FOR A CLEAN FUTURE

When former Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa launched his new clean beauty brand, Costa Brazil, he partnered with Conservation International to ensure proper sourcing from the Brazilian Amazon. He’ll be in conversation with Conservation International’s Daniela Raik at Connect 4. BY R AY ROGERS carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and helping to regulate the global climate.

PURIST: How did this partnership come about between you and Conservation International?

FRANCISCO COSTA: I have been following Conservation International’s diligent efforts in the Amazon for some time; they invited me to sit on the board of the Americas and during this experience I came to realize the extent of their expertise and unparalleled understanding of the Amazon, both the nature and its tribes. They were the best-suited partner for us to foray into the Amazon and navigate its delicate complexities.

oxygen, and it’s also the source of 20 percent of the world’s freshwater. As the largest tropical forest and river basin in the world, the Amazon plays a critical role in supporting the lives of over 30 million people and 300 indigenous groups in nine countries.

The Amazon rainforest also acts as the ‘lungs of the Earth,’ absorbing

more than a beautiful, exotic tropical rainforest. It’s also an enormous source of food, water, medicine and cosmetics that we use in our daily lives. The Amazon region hosts the richest biodiversity of any ecosystem on the planet, with 10 percent of the world’s known species. The Amazon rainforest produces about 20 percent of the Earth’s 128

PURIST: Francisco, how has this commitment to clean beauty and the care of the Earth impacted the way you do business, and your day-to-day life?

FC: It affects every decision.

We are a company people believe in based on our principles, and these principles guide every decision we make, whether it’s minute or major. Every decision has a life cycle, and our job is to be mindful of it.

Francisco Costa and Daniela Raik will be speaking about healing properties of the Amazon and conservation on August 15 at 3PM.

PURIST: Can you give us a brief overview of the work you do with Conservation International and why it’s so vital right now?

DANIELA RAIK: Costa Brazil and Conservation International are working together to safeguard forests and preserve natural resources in the Brazilian region of the Amazon, while helping the beauty brand establish responsible sourcing practices at its origin. Conservation International receives a portion of the proceeds from each product that Costa Brazil sells, which supports the organization’s initiative that plants 75,000 trees in the Amazon each year.

The Amazon is much

PURIST: In what ways was working with Costa Brazil a good fit for Conservation International?

DR: Increasing global demand for natural resources places the Amazon, its people and the world at risk. With this in mind, Conservation International and its partners are pursuing an ambitious project for the revival of the Amazon. The project helps Brazil move towards its Paris Agreement target of reforesting 12 million hectares (29.7 million acres) of land by 2030.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE

A single, circular, black and white-colored analog clock adorned the off-white wall.

Groggy, my eyes strained then refocused. It was 4AM. I had been in limbo overnight waiting for an in-demand, overbooked, cheap wood-framed, rather uncomfortable single bed.

It was an early, solemn San Francisco morning: May 1, 2004. I was 23 years young.

My father and I had been in the filthy-sock-smelling emergency room overnight.

It wasn’t our first time in this predicament. He waited anxiously near the door of my linoleum-floored, whitewalled room. It was the third floor of the locked-down unit within the St. Francis Memorial Hospital Psychiatric Ward. We had been here before, three times in fact. So often that when a moment of levity passed, I referred to it as my exotic hotel stay. Time and again, I had to live in places like these—to equalize, to heal, and to regain a semblance of sanity. You did not misread that: I was in my third psychiatric hospital stay. I would see the inside of a place like this four more times over the course of the next seven years. Why? Well, the answer is not as simple as “I lost my mind” or “I just went nuts.” No, those self-berating descriptions are vague and quite frankly offensive to someone who

stayed in silence, keeping their stories to themselves.

Many have simply gone on with their lives, and eventually pass on of natural causes. Some have opened up, begun speaking about their experiences, sharing with the public what they can about the perils of suicidal ideation, great suffering and pain. These stories of triumph over adversity are not just important for read-

has suffered mentally like I have, and like I do. The answer is much more complex and quite detailed.

Number 26, I was number 26 of the 34 people who attempted to take their lives by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived.

Most have never regained full mobility. I have been blessed to regain all mobility and maintain my physical fitness. Others have 132

ers, and followers of the mental health movement (an absolute civil rights movement for this or any time), but imperative for so many people’s continued survival. In the drab, smelly hospital, focusing—not only on the health of my brain, my body, my metaphorical heart, and searching of the soul—became key.

The idea of achieving total physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health is what got me through from one day to the next. Morphing from the self-loathing, inner critical-thinking creature I had become would not be easy. Soon, I came to the realization that it was entirely possible, maybe even plausible. It would be the most likely outcome.

However, this alternate positive and potential reality would only be reachable with a tremendous amount of therapeutic dedication— and most of all, an unhindered, intense drive. The kind of drive that needed to be acted upon minute by taxing minute in order for me to survive and thrive.

I learned to utilize the kind of goal-setting devices needed to build the solid support of a group of personal protectors meant to guide me in times of episodic crisis. This was a group of loved ones, family, and friends who I would request to opt in to my ‘Let’s

Courtesy of Kevin Hines

Kevin Hines shares his truly miraculous story of surviving a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, and how he’s made it his life’s mission to help others who are suffering from depression and mental health issues.

Keep Kevin Alive’ plan. It is a quick guide to hope and healing, architecturally designed to fit my needs.

It was something concrete that could keep me going in rough times, and keep me alive when all I could do is ponder, and plan my death by suicide.

With the help of a Time magazine article on fighting bipolar disorder, depression and all the other symptoms of my disease, I formed a mental health plan. Both for staying on an even keel and for staying here during the worst of times.

MY 10 STEPS FOR STAYING MENTALLY WELL: 1 Therapy. I will use anything that works, from cognitive behavioral, breathing, art, music, to blue wave light-box therapies. All of these help me either stay stable or find a balance.

2 Sleep. Redeveloping a good to great circadian rhythm, a sleeping pattern that allows me to get at least five nights of seven to eight hours of sleep a week.

This gives me the rejuvenation my brain needs to function at its highest, and safest, level.

3 Education. This would be the education of my diagnosable mental illness, and the study of the various and most up-to-date, reputable, proven treatments available.

4 Exercise. My motto: If you are physically capable of exercise, it’s simple—move that body. Do the deed not for vanity, but to increase

levels of sanity. It has been proven that rigorous activity, and exercise for 23 minutes a day, leads to 12 hours of improved mood.

5 Meditation. Practicing regular daily meditation and focused breathing methods can help the body recuperate from stress. This gives us the ability to keep on keepin’ on.

6 Medication. This one is mainly for those with diagnosed mental health and behavioral health conditions. I take medications every day, around the same time a day. I take them with 100 percent accuracy each day because I understand they help me stabilize and keep off the crooked path.

7 Don’t use drugs or alcohol. I used to bingedrink until blackout drunk while on psychotropic medications. This is something that could have ended in an early death or even damage to parts of my brain. I never have used any other drug other than alcohol. My biological parents had the co-occurring diseases of manic depression (today bipolar disorder) and the serious disease of addiction. For that reason, recreational illicit drugs have always been off the table in my book. If you battle the disease of addiction, I hope this helps you consider seeking professional help to find the tools to help retrain your brain to live without such self-destructiveness.

8 Healthy eating and a clean living lifestyle. Eating foods that directly feed the

brain with good nutrition will help you stabilize your overall health.

9 Coping mechanisms.

Hobbies, tools, and helpful activities can help you stay grounded when fighting a brain disease. I walk in nature, sketch on sketch pads, read comic books, watch newly released movies, go on date nights with my wife, exercise for fun, and read a lot. All of these activities are my way of coping with my mental battles. When I hallucinate (which I do often enough), I ground myself with one of my coping mechanisms. I grasp my hands left to right, back and forth when I am self-aware enough to know that what I am seeing or hearing may not exist in anyone else’s reality. Those closest to me do not acknowledge that it is real to me, but that they are not experiencing the same things. Over time, with the coping and grounding exercises, I get past the distorted reality and eventually come back to true reality.

10 The Plan. I created my very own mental and brain health emergency plan.

The emergency plan has all of my doctors’ and clinicians’ names, phone numbers, email addresses and physical addresses. It also includes descriptions of my symptoms, signs, episode triggers, and more.

It contains copies of release forms signed by my personal protectors. These are people who I have I opted in to my plan, so that if any one of them wanted to call 133

one of my doctors at any time to discuss my treatment plan and/or symptoms, they have the authority to do so. They would be able to get a play-by-play, superseding HIPAA laws; this gives those closest to me the ability to be a part of my change and safety efforts at any given day. Why? The answer is simple: No one with a mental illness, a brain disease, or behavioral health battle can do this alone, and everyone needs help sometimes.

So there it is. This is how I fight to stay all kinds of well.

This is how I strive to live with my best brain ever.

Hope does help heal.

CONSCIOUS CONNECTOR Three simple, powerful ways to get together and grow. BY DONNA D’CRUZ

One of my favorite words is the Zulu word ubuntu—the essence of being human, which translates to “I am because we are.” Ubuntu speaks to the fact that you can’t exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks to our interconnectedness.

You can’t be a human being all by yourself, and when you have this quality— ubuntu—you are known for your generosity. “When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

We are wired for togetherness, for interpersonal interactions. Our body, mind and spirit display palpable signs of distress when we suffer from a lack of connection with other people.

In this incredible age of digital connectivity, we can be seduced by the (un) realness of our “likes” amongst our hundreds and sometimes thousands of “friends” through the many platforms which make us feel like we belong and that we are included. It’s a strange paradox that during this era of such über-connection many of us feel anxious, overly burdened, depressed and disconnected. I have been creating a daily series called “Morning Moments” as an offering and invitation to be—to be together, to be seen by others, to be connected.

I’m delighted to share three simple and accessible

done than there is on making time to connect with others. If you have a weekly calendar, look it over and schedule a night out with a friend or your partner. Making this time might surprise you, after you see how connecting with others shifts the quality of your relationships.

CONSCIOUSNESS HACK NO. 3: COMMUNICATE CONSCIOUSLY consciousness hacks…may they serve you well.

that influences your body, brain and behavior to help moderate stress, support mood imbalances and aid with sleep. Your brain also releases feel-good neurotransmitters, including dopamine, endorphins and serotonin, when a smile flashes across your face.

These brain chemicals aid in calming your nervous system by lowering your heart rate and blood pressure.

Dopamine gives the brain energy, motivation, a rush—and is necessary for habit change. Endorphins reduce your perception of pain and trigger a positive, euphoric feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. Serotonin can be thought of as the confidence molecule.

CONSCIOUSNESS HACK NO. 1: SMILE AND MAKE EYE CONTACT When you pass by a stranger, make eye contact and smile. Focus on creating a bright, cheerful smile and offer it to someone in passing, or try a loving smile toward a close friend or loved one; this is an easy way to deepen your connection. Making eye contact and choosing to be completely present with people cultivates a level of trust and safety that allows others to open up to you even more. You never know when a heartfelt smile or making eye contact will come at just the right time and have the positive effect that person may need.

When you smile, your brain basically has a party, as it releases over 100 neuropeptides that affect pretty much everything

CONSCIOUSNESS HACK NO. 2: SCHEDULE QUALITY TIME In today’s world, there’s a bigger emphasis on running around and getting things 134

Take the time to listen to others. Sometimes you might hear another person speak, but you don’t really listen to what they say. When you listen, are you already formulating your response? Do you cut them off with your own experiences? When you can listen from your heart, you’re able to make yourself present while someone else is speaking. When we feel heard, we deepen our connection to others.

The relationships we create need open and conscious communication.

Great communication asks that you show up in the conversation and stay present. When you can share your deep feelings, while searching for help from that person to meet your needs, it provides everyone with an opportunity to practice conscious communication. donnadcruz.com; sleepbeditations.com Donna D’Cruz will lead a guided meditation on August 14 and 15 at 12:30PM.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD

Environmental journalist Amanda Little predicts the state of sustenance in 2050.

The most striking paradox of the 21st century may be this: Human population is expected to surge from 7.5 billion to 9.5 billion by mid-century—yet the global food supply could plummet. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted a 2 to 6 percent decline in global crop yields every decade going forward due to drought, heat, flooding, superstorms, weather volatility, shifting seasons, invasive insects, and other symptoms of a warming planet.

For most of us, this still feels like an abstract problem—a crisis 30 years off—but disruptions in food supply are already evident almost everywhere. In July, when the heat wave swept Russia and Europe, it destroyed corn and wheat fields and crushed vineyards. Soon after Bordeaux reached a record 106° F, France’s minister of agriculture said the country’s coveted wine production would decline 13 percent. Many of the soy and corn farmers in the American Midwest, meanwhile, couldn’t plant their seeds when massive spring storms flooded the land, resulting in billions

can taste. This is already a kitchen table issue, in all senses. And what, you must wonder, lies ahead? What will be on our Thanksgiving tables in the year 2050? Will future historians look back on our current agricultural moment and see it as Dickens did Europe in the late 18th century—an age of belief and incredulity when “we had everything before us, we had nothing before us”?

According to the IPCC, we have good reason to believe we’re headed toward nothing. By the middle of this century, a recent report reads, the world may reach

of dollars of dollars of lost crops. Extreme weather events in recent years have also damaged or destroyed olive groves in Italy; citrus and peach orchards in Florida and Georgia; apple and cherry orchards in Wisconsin and Michigan; avocado farms in Mexico; and coffee and cacao farms in dozens of equatorial nations.

There’s been severe damage to dairy and livestock operations the world over.

The climatic threats to food production are incredibly varied and region-specific, but it all adds up to this: Climate change is becoming something we 135

“a threshold of global warming beyond which current agricultural practices can no longer support large human civilizations.” But that fate hinges on a key assumption—that current agricultural practices won’t change. And if my research has taught me anything, it’s that farmers, scientists, activists and engineers the world over are radically rethinking food production.

In my book, The Fate of Food: What We’ll Eat in A Bigger, Hotter, Smarter World, I took a five-year adventure into the lands, machines and minds working on the future of food. I traveled from small apple orchards in Wisconsin and tiny cornfields in Kenya to massive Norwegian fish farms and computerized foodscapes in Shanghai. I learned, through travels in more than a dozen countries and as many states, that human innovation, which marries new and old approaches to food production, can redefine sustainable food on a grand scale.

Amanda Little will be speaking on the future of global crop production on August 14 at 3:45 PM.

CC: You’ve tried everything.

MS: I’ve tried everything! And then it kind of went upside down again when I got pregnant, and I had a thyroid issue. Everything that I did that had worked just stopped working. I don’t know if it’s because my hormones changed, my body changed.

CC: So you discovered DanceBody?

MS: Katia’s amazing. What I love about her is you’ve got the dance, but you’ve also got that high-intensity interval training. She’s so fun, she’s so positive. I look at her ass and I’m like, “You give me hope of one day having half your tushie.”

CC: You literally changed your body within a year.

MS: I lost 16 pounds in six months.

CC: All from healthier eating, better food choices.

MS: And circuit training, and high-intensity training with dancing. It feels good. I’m a goal-setter. I was the little girl with the highlighter and the flash cards. I went to Vanderbilt—I wanted to be a lawyer. So it goes back to doing something and wanting to see results. That was hard with modeling. It’s always just gonna be like, Your nose is crooked, your calves are too big. With modeling, or being in the entertainment business, it’s just constant...are you ever enough? Do you look good enough? That pressure.

CC: Life philosophy?

Cristina Cuomo: I thought we’d start with fitness: how you got back into it recently, since becoming a mother.

Molly Sims: There’s a big difference between being skinny and healthy. Once you have children, that verbiage really changes. It’s not how much I weigh, it’s not my clothes size, it’s more about, how do I feel? I want to be as healthy as I can, and live as long as I can.

CC: To keep up with them.

MS: To keep up with them. Because they’re crazy! I ended up doing a lot of circuits for many years. I woke up and one day, about six months before my 45th birthday, and the tricks I’d done, the diets, all the things I could rely on, that I could do to drop 2 pounds, drop 5 pounds—everything just went out the window.

CC: So you changed it up.

MS: I stopped eating a lot of meat. I’m O-, I love protein, but for some reason I flipped everything on its head, and now I’m eating a lot of fish and vegetables, a lot more salads and a lot more whole foods. The first couple of months were a little bit hard. I started eating more fats; I see a really great nutritionist in LA, Kelly Leveque, who told me fat is not gonna hurt you. It’ll sustain you longer. It’ll make you feel more full. She always said, you need more plantbased protein. It was the same with working out. I was the

“Self-care is probably the most important thing when it comes to being a good partner, a good mom, a good friend, a good sister. “ MS: It’s definitely evolved. Even now, I’m a very old mother, in the sense that so many of my friends had their kids when they were younger; mine are 2, 4 and 7, and theirs are 8, 12 and 17.

CC: You were waiting for Mr. Right.

MS: I met Mr. Right, I met my little prince...well, my big prince, my 6-foot-5 prince [film producer Scott Stuber], later in life. I’m almost happy because I’m not the girl who feels, I missed that party, I wish I could’ve gone to that. I don’t have that FOMO; I’ve never been that girl.

CC: What about mindfulness? Do you do things to keep yourself balanced?

MS: Mindfulness is really important. I think self-care is probably the most important thing when it comes to being a good partner, a good mom, a good friend, a good sister. I love giving back. I work really hard for a charity called Baby2Baby. We help give diapers to over 200,000 children. We work with so many different charities and amazing people all over the United States. This is our seventh year.

In terms of mindfulness, I think being grateful and being grounded are really important. Because when that day

girl at SoulCycle who would never lift the 2-pound weights.

Stacey Griffith would spot me and I would say, “I can’t, Stacey! I can’t lift the weights!” I was so worried about it. To say to a model, “You’re going to be lifting weights” is such the antithesis. Long, leaner. Those are the words I’m used to hearing. Not “Hey, let’s lift.” So for me, now that I’m lifting like 10 or 15 pounds and doing these exercises, it has really made a huge difference in my energy. I’m not struggling to work out for an hour-and-a-half. I’m in and out in almost 45 minutes. As a mom of three, it’s hard to find that time.

CC: How old are the babies?

MS: They are 2, 4 and 7. It’s a commitment that makes me feel good. We play a lot of team sports; it’s really important for children. My little tribe and I have to be on the same team. We all have to work together.

CC: You grew up in Kentucky.

MS: That made it hard; that was the first change, you know? Being from Kentucky, the high-fat foods, the fried chicken, biscuits, bacon and gravy. I kind of mastered my diet through modeling, whether it be the South Beach diet, the grapefruit diet, the not-eating, the eating. The intermittent fasting.

THE VANISHING WORLD

Courtesy of Anne de Carbuccia

Artist Anne de Carbuccia travels the globe capturing the beauty and the sorrow of a world that’s being decimated by climate change and human behavior. Begun six years ago, her immersive body of work—a mixture of sculpture, shrines, photography and documentary film—feels more prescient than ever. Purist spoke with the committed environmentalist art-maker, who splits her time between Manhattan, Sagaponack and Milan, from her studio space at the famed Westbeth artist space on the West Side Highway.

“Queen Conch Fighting Erosion,” Grenadines, Caribbean, October 2014 147

RAY ROGERS: The images you’ve created for the One Planet One Future series evoke thoughts of time, life and death—our own lives and that of our planet. What was the impetus for this body of work?

ANNE DE CARBUCCIA: As an artist it’s always hard to understand where your creativity comes from, but I started this project over six years ago in September, and it’s my way of channeling my own anxieties, both as a human being and as a mother, for the future. I have three children, aged 11, 21 and 22. Six years ago nobody was really talking about climate breakdown, but I had been traveling a lot. I come from an island—I’m from Corsica—and I’ve been seeing the world change really fast. This is a life project, so probably what you see in the art is like a résumé of everything that I’ve worked on and loved. I’ve got an anthropological background, so I’m trying to do something that I’ve studied and has always fascinated me. You can probably argue that it’s the first artistic expression of human beings, in a way, if you go back to ancient times; people have always been creatively inspired by what they’re afraid of and what they admire.

RR: Tell me about the use of the skull and hourglass in what you call your “time shrines.”

ADC: The skull and the hourglass are classic symbols of 15th, 16th and 17th century vanities, or still life painting.

Being French, I have this very classical background, so still life painting always fascinated me, for many reasons. They were done in areas of transitions or of great plagues, or great transitional moments for human beings. The vanity is something that as a symbol always fascinated me and also I think in a way its significance got lost with time; in contemporary art, the skull is a skull. The real significance of the vanities and why they are used was lost. It’s not a symbol of death. It’s a symbol of choice, it’s here to remind us we’re all mortal, but that we have a choice in life, everyday we can choose between a positive and constructive life, or a superficial and vain life. We’re going through the biggest transition in the history of humankind; it’s very important, because it’s about each and every one of us right now. It’s all about individual choice. We’re past pointing fingers, we’re past saying who’s right or who’s wrong; it’s just about taking a stand. We all need to take a stand.

RR: Absolutely. It doesn’t even matter who’s right or who’s wrong. It matters what we do now.

ADC: So that significance of ‘you have a choice’ every day in your life. And I’m reminding you of this in this work, you can choose. So that whole, in a nutshell, my art is about bringing together what has always fascinated me and also things that are quite extreme. Because it’s like shrines and paganism and honoring things in nature or animals. But it’s also about this deeply religious significance of 16th and 17th century still life painting, which is about humbleness, and reminders, and about accepting our mortality and making the best of it, as opposed to refusing it and just ignoring it and leading these very superficial lives.

They say that there’s two types of photography: creative photography, which is the expression of an idea; and documentative photography, which is documenting a period or a moment in time. I like to believe that my work has both.

RR: It does.

ADC: It’s both creative and expressing with the time shrine, creating an installation, but I’m also documenting our planet. Over the past six years, a lot of the places I’ve documented have already [been impacted greatly]. I’m

addressing all our biggest challenges, from climate breakdown to endangered species and extinction, to forests and jungles to trash. So six years ago when I started, very few people got what I did. It’s like...what do you mean? She’s going around the world with an hourglass and a skull and she’s creating time shrines; nobody really kind of embraced it except for a few collectors, which is what really made me feel stronger. Today, everybody understands my work, I don’t need to explain it.

RR: What shifted?

ADC: The global consciousness. Climate breakdown is not really something that was addressed five or six years ago. Now, whether you believe in it or not, it’s everywhere and it’s being addressed and we’re living in it, actually.

We’re already starting to adapt. So now I’m shifting, I’m into adaptations. Until now I’ve been showing art saying, “It’s still here, but this is the problem,” and I’m showing what’s left, I’m showing the beauty that’s left. A lot of the work I’ve done now is gone, the images don’t exist anymore. For example, endangered species I’ve photographed, like Sudan, who was the last Northern white rhino on the planet.

He’s dead.

RR: It’s wild because these images are so beautiful and ethereal, but also heartbreaking. For instance, the piece that features the medusas (or jellyfish) tangled in plastic.

ADC: Yes. I think today you can communicate better with beauty in art than harsh words and difficult images. I think people kind of just shut off, or shut down once, if you provoke them with violence.

RR: It could be too much.

ADC: Yes, it’s too much. So there is definitely a seductive part in my art, even though I’m addressing difficult things.

Not everybody likes looking at the vanity, people are fascinated by it but others are disturbed by it. But aesthetically it functions. If you will look at it, whether you like the art or not, you will question, you will be interested in why, and then you’ll go to the caption. The caption has a poetic comment, but because I collaborate with so many scientists, it also has scientific data behind it. So that’s my scope: It’s the beauty and the sadness. I can say that beauty can save the world. That’s where I’m putting my vote.

RR: Has the project impacted your diet choices?

ADC: Definitely our eating choices are going to be key in the future—food and water, obviously. But food for two reasons:

for health reasons and for your impact on the planet. Reducing your meat consumption, especially cow meat, is key. So I don’t eat any cow meat, for example.

The only reason I still have meat in my diet is because, for instance, if I go for three weeks in the Himalayas, all the Budhists have to eat meat too, because that’s all there is: yak. But I really resist it. If you’re eating meat every day, and you do meatless Monday, that will already have a huge impact.

RR: Any top tips on what readers can do in their daily lives to make an impact?

ADC: Eat local. Eat seasonal. Reduce your meat consumption by 50 percent.

Completely get rid of disposable plastic— refuse it. Those are all things that are very easy to do. Please, please get a bamboo toothbrush. I’ve been underwater and seen turtles with toothbrushes up their nose. That’s another thing: As a consumer, you can make a really big difference.

Don’t let anybody tell you we have to wait for governments to make a difference, because we’re the ripple and we can really make a difference.

RR: Your work’s been exhibited all over the world, from Manhattan to Milan to Moscow. Do you notice differences in how people react to it, or is everybody on board with it?

ADC: Yeah, the latter, that’s what’s so shocking. For example, when I did my show in Moscow or even Naples, I thought, they’re not gonna get it. They have so many other issues and priorities, why would they get this? And they all got it. I think it’s because my art is emotional—I’m trying to find the keys to your heart. But I was very surprised in Russia, because I was being exhibited in a public museum, so the people—they don’t have anything there, they don’t even have proper TV, and the people can only afford a public museum because it’s very cheap—so I got a lot of very lower-middle-class people, and I had babushkas hugging me. We’re one species, and we’re all in the same boat, and people know that. Around the planet, very much, everybody knows.

RR: That’s a tragedy. You’ve seen extinctions and erosions and all kinds of damage. What keeps you hopeful?

ADC: It’s what keeps me active. I’m not hopeful. I’m active. You can’t be hopeful when you know what I know. But you can be active. Do something. And I think if everybody is active, we can avoid the worst. We will all have to adapt, how much we need to adapt. And also because I have kids. So I’m doing this for them. I’m doing it for the next generation. I’m doing it as a citizen, I’m doing it as a citizen of our planet. I choose Earth.

I’m not dreaming about living on Mars.

I love our planet, and this is where we belong, it’s perfect for us. We need to protect it. We need to really help it, and help ourselves.

THE SCULPTOR

LEGENDARY DESIGNER HELMUT LANG WALKED AWAY FROM A BRILLIANT CAREER IN FASHION TO PURSUE HIS ORIGINAL TRUE CALLING AS AN ARTIST. HAILED FOR HIS MINIMALISM, FORM AND CHOICE OF MATERIALS IN HIS COLLECTIONS, HE’S MET SIMILAR ACCLAIM FOR HIS ART SINCE LEAVING THE FASHION WORLD FOR GOOD IN 2004.

HERE, THE AUSTRIABORN, EAST HAMPTON-AND MANHATAN-BASED SCULPTOR TELLS PURIST ABOUT HIS WILL TO CREATE AND THE JOYS OF LIVING AN AUTHENTIC LIFE ON THE EAST END.

Ray Rogers: Since we are in East Hampton, let’s start by talking about “twenty-two,” your sculpture at LongHouse Reserve, which was installed in 2018. You’ve referred to it as possibly symbolic of a “tribe”—the grouping of 22 standing pillars, resembling human spines, or earthworms sprouting up from the ground. I know there can be a fine line between abstraction and realism or figuration. Does it speak to you differently when you see it today, or think about it now?

Helmut Lang: “twenty-two” was inspired by a grouping of fykes [long bag nets kept open by hoops], which appear all over the East End. They bring to mind a tribe or some kind of gathering or pagan ritual.

They do also evoke the spinal column, and reference the scale of the human body, as I do in many

of my works. It invites the viewer to consider the body less as a hierarchy of limbs and organs, but as a meshwork of equivalent and interchangeable elements. Examined closely, the kinetic work becomes distinctly biomorphic, changing infinitely depending on the variables of the surroundings.

Being a site-specific sculpture outdoors, its output varies greatly depending on the light of the day, the season of the year and the density of shadows the pillars cast on the ground, which are constantly moving throughout the day. The pillars are in a permanent position, but they appear to have movement throughout the day. I see the installation as I did when I handed it over to the public, but everyone who is seeing it is making a different connection or has a different impression, which is exactly what the installation is supposed to do.

Helmut Lang in his studio in East Hampton 153

RR: What was the installation process like—what kinds of considerations were made? Anything to say about the site location, what may be different/new in seeing the work outside of a gallery’s four walls?

HL: The artwork was made as a site-specific work, and its conception and installation process involved visiting the LongHouse grounds a few times to find the right placement for it. It then took two days to put it into a formation that I felt was interesting and strong enough to exist on its own, while being able to interact with the public. Visitors are actually intensely engaging with it. This my first outdoor installation, although there are quite a number of my sculptures that—in terms of the material composition and their formality—are able to equally live inside or outside. I am very interested in creating more site-specific works and outdoor sculptures. I think there is a different magic happening when artwork is placed in an outdoor context.

RR: What did it mean to you to have a piece here, in this iconic East Hampton location?

HL: LongHouse is a unique place that attracts visitors across generations. I have my studio on Long Island, and I work year-round out here, so it felt quite organic to have a piece on semipermanent or permanent view at LongHouse and be part of the local community.

The uniqueness is that the ground displays sculptures

of artists without the confinement of their origin or stature in the art world. It is a vision curated by Jack Lenor Larsen, supported by his great team that nourishes the grounds and spirit every day.

RR: When you first came to East Hampton, was the rich history of artists working out here over the years a draw? That magical light?

HL: I came out here a bit more than 20 years ago, and solidified it as an escape from my extremely busy work life in New York and Paris. I left my former occupation at the end of 2004 to commit myself to being an artist full-time, a practice I had pursued on and off throughout my prior career. I took a half-year break to reset, and during that time, it became somehow logical for me to have a studio here, instead of working from the one I had in Manhattan, as I could work undisturbed and at anytime without restrictions or distractions that an urban place imposes.

There are actually quite a substantial number of artists who work out here presently, which is not as well-known as it should be, although the Parrish Art Museum, Guild Hall, LongHouse, The Fireplace Project, the Halsey McKay Gallery and others are making efforts to change that. Of course all of us are somehow aware that we are on art-historical grounds, but beside that it is actually about living in the now and producing contemporary work.

RR: I used to see you running with your beautiful dogs on the beach between Indian Wells and Two Mile Hollow in the late afternoons years back. Is that still a part of your life?

HL: My routine has changed over the years, but it is still part of my life as I live right on the ocean.

RR: There’s something very meditative about silent beach walks. I personally find it conducive to creative thinking and problem solving. Do you find yourself working through pieces in your head like that? Or is it more about creating on the spot in the studio?

HL: You’re right, there is something meditative about it—or exhausting—as 154

I like to walk at a certain speed to clear my head and keep my body in shape at the same time. I prefer to exercise outdoors instead of in a confined space. I use that time to possibly not think about anything at all, and just be in the moment with the Atlantic Ocean. I like water. These moments without special creative purpose or engagement are equally important as the time one is dedicating to conscious activity. Creativity is an ongoing procedure that does not only happen physically in the studio.

Many of the unconscious creative impulses are created outside the studio. There is a lot of active and passive time that goes into creating art.

RR: You work with nontraditional material in your sculptures, like, for instance, memory foam or shredded garments from your runway shows of years past. What do you find interesting about materials that have had “past lives”?

HL: I have always worked with nontraditional mate155

MY LIFE. THIS IS JUST WHAT I HAVE TO DO.”

HL: Well, my brain will always be my brain, and what I am today is the sum of my experiences and life so far.

Every choice has its history, and sometimes moments that have been shoved into a corner are waiting for an outlet. I feel that my original intention to work in art was demanding to become a reality in the form of my present existence.

RR: Does your former life as a fashion designer inform your work as an artist?

HL: My former occupation as a fashion designer does not really inform my work.

But as I am always totally authentic in what I do, there are certainly similarities in the approach and in the relentless [pursuit] of achieving the best possible outcome. The difference is that I used to create the outer shell for a body, while I am now creating the body itself in the form of sculptures and three-dimensional wall objects.

rials if that was the right choice, without ignoring traditional materials if that was the right choice. Found materials, which I think is what you are referring to, which have had a past life, elements with irreplaceable presence, scars and memories of former purpose, are often the beginning of a process-oriented approach to sculpture. I don’t consciously use the information of where it came from. It kind of doesn’t matter. I’m not literally interested in the history, but rather in the possibilities. I treat it like every other material. As Louise Bourgeois said, “Materials are just materials, and are there to serve you.”

RR: What are you working on right now?

HL: I am preparing for exhibitions in New York, Washington D.C. and Europe. It is all happening from September this year and on, so I will probably not be leaving my studio much this summer.

RR: What compels you to create?

HL: I have always been compelled to create or to curate my environment independently of the matter or subject. That applies to many aspects of my life. This is just what I have to do. I can’t be any other way.

RR: Are creativity and wellness linked for you?

HL: I have to quote Louise again, who said, “Art is a guaranty of sanity.” I feel exactly the same, and being sane is definitely part of wellness.

THE $15K FACE CREAM In this exclusive excerpt from Is There Still Sex in the City? iconic New York woman

C A N DAC E B U S H N E L L

seeks and finds the ultimate beauty indulgence.

The interior didn’t disappoint. It was white and shiny, like one of those sleek stage sets on Broadway. Marble steps accented with gold led up to what could have been an actual small stage but instead contained the cash register.

I knew I’d made a mistake. This place was expensive—far too expensive for my budget. “I’m sorry. I can’t.”

“Come on. It will only take five minutes.” I balked. “Five minutes” in Madison World was fifteen or twenty anyplace else.

“You don’t have five minutes?” she asked, as if this couldn’t possibly be true. “Five minutes to look good for your boyfriend?”

I laughed. “I don’t have a boy-

friend.” “Maybe after you have this treatment you will.” She hustled me into a chair in front of the window.

Having removed my glasses, she was now patting my face like I was a bunny. “Pretty,” she said. “Why are you so pretty?”

This was an unanswerable question and one I immediately suspected she asked of all the women who took a seat in this chair. She pulled a giant syringe out of a drawer and, expurging a thick beige cream, patted it around the upper and lower lids of my left eye.

The result was like one of those magic science tricks—tiny dinosaurs that grow 1,000 percent in water—but the opposite.

Gone were the puffs and the lines.

157

The skin around my eyes was miraculously smooth.

My mood immediately lifted. If I could get rid of my puffs that easily, perhaps I could get rid of all of my lines. Younger face, fresh life. Maybe it wasn’t over after all. Maybe I could get on that big ride one more time.

The voice of Russian youth broke into my reverie: “Did you know we’re having a special? Four hundred dollars for the product and then you get a free facial,” said the modelly guy, who had strolled over to see the results.

“A facial, huh? You mean the whole face?” I examined the skin around my eyes. If they had something that worked this well for the rest of my face, I was desperate to try it.

And so I bought the miracle depuffer cream for four hundred dollars and booked an appointment for the facial the next day at three. “You’re lucky,” said the older guy. “Krystal is here tomorrow. She will do your treatment.”

“Who’s Krystal?” I asked. “She is the miracle worker of the skin.” “She’s a goddess,” agreed the modelly guy.

“She is the Mother Teresa of youth.”

And on and on they went about this mysterious Russian woman named Krystal.

“All I can say is, whatever she tells you to do, you’d better do it!” exclaimed the older guy.

Fuck. What the hell had I gotten myself into?

Whatever it was, I woke up the next morning determined to get out of it. Apparently the Russians sensed I might do this, because at nine o’clock sharp, I got a call from the girl at the store.

She was confirming my appointment. She told me how lucky I was.

Krystal was going to see me, and Krystal was going to change my life.

I didn’t have the nerve to cancel. I expected the treatment was going to

be something high tech and slightly medical. Instead, I was led over to yet another lighted makeup counter where I took a seat on a revolving stool. I must have looked skeptical because the crew kept coming by to extoll Krystal’s virtues. She was a skin genius. The older man informed me that I was very, very lucky that she happened to be in New York because she was almost never in New York.

“Where is she?” “Traveling all over the world. She goes to California. Switzerland. Paris.”

“And Russia? Right?” I said. He gave me a funny look. When they finally left me alone, I took off my glasses so I could see my phone. Krystal immediately came strolling out of a short open hallway.

She was very, very attractive. She was wearing a crisp white shirt, a black pencil skirt, and black pumps. She had white-blonde hair and eyes with light-blue irises encircled by a darker blue band. The tops of her breasts were visible through the open-necked collar of her shirt. She was carrying an iPad and a notebook, the kind you buy at the drugstore. There was a sharp air about her. She exuded purposefulness, as if she were playing a role.

She also had a pimple on her chin.

I saw it when she leaned in to take a closer look at my skin.

The pimple worried me. Did she not use her own products? Did any of these kids use the products? Like me, they probably couldn’t afford them.

None of their skin was that great.

And neither was mine. Krystal stepped back and looked at me sternly. “What kind of person are you?” she asked.

“Excuse me?” “Are you the kind of person who can handle the truth?” “I think so.” “I bet all your friends say you look good. This is true, yes?” “They’re my friends, so . . .” “But I am not your friend. Not yet.” Krystal sighed. “I’m going to be honest with you. Your skin looks bad.”

158

For a moment, I was stung. Damn friends. Krystal was right. I sighed.

“That’s why I’m here. I need to look better.” Krystal tapped my face. “You have a little too much filler in the cheeks.”

Every dermatologist said this and then went on to inject just a little more.

“And rosacea!” Yes, I had that as well.

So far nothing new here. But there was good news. “If you do everything I tell you I can fix your face. Your skin will be perfect. I can make it go back in age twenty years.”

Twenty years? That sounded like a tall order and probably not scientifically feasible. But I wasn’t ready to give up yet. “And you will not need to use Botox or fillers again,” she added.

That jolted me. Botox and fillers are the twin posts on which “looking younger” rests. If there really were some face cream out there that worked like Botox, even I would have heard of it by now.

And then I realized I had. Queenie had told me about it. How there were these people who got Upper East Side women to buy a whole bunch of products for thousands of dollars and they told them that they’d never need Botox or filler again.

Who would be so stupid as to believe that, I’d asked. I was about to find out.

“I think I can help you,” Krystal said.

She bent over a bit the way younger people do when they think someone is older than they really are and maybe can’t hear that well. My sight line was her cleavage. I quickly raised my eyes and stared into her eyes instead. “You have to promise me one thing.”

“What?” I asked. “If I tell you what to do, will you do it?” I hesitated, wondering if I could politely make an escape, but at that moment, the Greek girl threw a cape around my shoulders and a towel was wrapped around my neck and covered with plastic. The stool was turned so that I faced the mirror.

Caped and toweled, separated

WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? “And now we will begin the treatment,” Krystal said. She worked quickly, covering one-half of my face in a claylike goo. When she was finished, she stepped back so I could take a look She put her head next to mine, like we were two girls in a Snapchat photo.

“We do one side of your face first and then the other. So you can see the results before and after. Exciting, yes?”

“Yes. Very exciting.”

She sat down on her stool across from me. We smiled at each other.

“So,” I said, after a moment. “How long for each side?” She shrugged.

“Twenty? Twenty-five minutes?” My heart sank. That meant I was stuck here for at least a full hour.

The thought was agony. I wasn’t a big fan of beauty treatments because I didn’t have the patience to sit through them. What the hell was I supposed to do for the next fifty minutes?

It didn’t take long to find out.

Krystal picked up the pad of paper and a pencil and scooted closer. For a moment, I hoped she just wanted to make conversation. Instead she started asking me awkward questions about my finances.

How much money did I spend on Botox and filler a year? “Two thousand dollars?” I asked. She looked at me pityingly. “Most women spend twelve.”

She wrote something on the legal pad, which naturally I couldn’t see.

“How much do you spend on your skin routine?” “My routine?” “Cleanser, toner. Facials. A thousand a month?”

Certainly not. Krystal nodded and busied herself with the numbers. “Now this,” she said, “is what you spend for one year for your face. And this”—she pointed to another number—“is what you spend over two years.”

I didn’t want to have to ask for my glasses and then put them on over the

goop, so I did what I often do in these situations: I pretended I could see.

Besides, I could still read Krystal’s body language. And clearly I was meant to exhibit surprise and outrage.

I complied. With a flourish, she put

‘‘

Do you feel the heat?” she asked.

“Do you feel it?”

“Yes?” “It means the product is working.

from my glasses, I was a sitting duck. I widened my eyes and braced for what was to come.

a slash through the numbers and started on a new page. “What would you say if I could make your skin better without Botox or filler and you never have to buy skin cream again for two 159

years for half that price? And what if I said your skin could be twenty years younger in two years for even less than half of that? And what would you say if I could do all that for you and more.

What would you pay for that?”

“I have no idea.” She wrote down a number and circled it like a pretend schoolteacher. I began to feel queasy.

I was seriously out of my depth.

But how could that be? I was a grown woman in charge of my life and my pocketbook. Besides, how much could this damn face cream be?

She began grilling me about my habits. Did I have discipline? Did I know how to work a routine?

“A routine?” “So you don’t have one. If someone gives you a routine, would you do it?”

I probably absolutely would not.

Maybe I was too lazy, but all I could think about was please don’t give me another task. Please, don’t give me another—probably pointless— thing to do.

“I guess I could try,” I hedged. “And what about instructions?” “I can follow them.” “Because you have to do this facial once a month.” “What facial?”

I was confused. “I will teach you how to do it. And now we do the activation cream. It’s going to be a little hot.”

She rubbed a clear gel over the goop. It immediately began to heat up.

“Do you feel the heat?” she asked.

“Do you feel it?” “Yes?” “It means the product is working.” “So this really works?” She gave me a look. “Of course it works.” She produced “evidence.” Before and after photos on her iPad that she accessed through a link.

“We are not supposed to show them but”—she glanced around furtively—“I will show them to you.”

I wondered if this was some kind of double switchback maneuver. If the product worked, wouldn’t you want to show the before and after pictures?

Krystal explained that the people in the photos were from a small village in Siberia where no one had ever used

HOW MUCH?

‘‘

The moment I was ready to talk numbers, though, Krystal wasn’t. All of a sudden, Krystal wanted to talk about god. “This morning I wake up and I pray to god,” she said. “And god an-

zle me with the half of the two years and then two-thirds of the total math bullshit, but I told her to cut it out and give me the final number already. I began to get another very bad feeling when she refused to say the number out loud. When a person won’t say a number out loud it’s usually not good.

It’s what car salesmen do. Instead, she wrote something down, circled it, and turned the pad around so I could see.

This time I didn’t care how aged I looked. I leaned forward to squint at the numerals written on the pad.

They were blurry but I could make out a one, a five, and three zeros.

My mind couldn’t take it in at first—15,000? Fifteen thousand? 15K? Fifteen thousand dollars for face

Nevertheless, my resolve was stronger than a bad passport photo.

I sighed deeply. “I just can’t.” Sensing something wasn’t right, the older Russian guy strolled over.

“Is there a problem?” He looked from me to Krystal accusingly, as if we were both causing trouble in class.

As if I weren’t following the script and Krystal better get me back on board.

“Nope,” I said, with a glance at Krystal.

“No problem at all.” “Krystal is gonna change your life. You’re gonna see.

Whatever Krystal tell you to do, you’d better do it,” he reminded me. And he shook his finger.

Krystal announced that it was time to remove the mask. This was easier said than done. Getting the goop off

skin cream before. “Of course we pay them,” she said with a shrug.

I was hardly listening. I was transfixed by the images of wrinkled-apple-faced ladies transformed into smooth-faced beauty queens.

Okay, the results weren’t quite that dramatic. But they were dramatic enough. Enough that I couldn’t stop thinking about how that skin cream might work on me.

I had to have it.

Tell no one,” Krystal said.

“You must keep the secret of the cream. Wait until your friends mention your skin.

swered my prayers.”

“Really?” For a moment, I was puzzled. If I were trying to sell face cream in Madison World I’m not sure I’d talk about god as a sales technique.

“I think you’ve been sent here for a reason,” she said. No kidding. If you are sitting in a chair with mysterious goop on your face you should know you have been sent there for a reason. And the reason is simple: They are going to extract money from you, one way or another. They can do it painfully or they can do it nicely. But either way, you are not going to get out of that chair, you are not going home, you will not pass go ever again until you open your pocketbook and let them pluck out a few thousand.

Again, I asked how much.

Again, Krystal tried to bamboo-

cream? My heart began to beat in my lungs. I knew the face cream would be expensive but fifteen thousand dollars expensive? For a moment I felt as if I’d been shot into another universe. I tried to explain to Krystal in the clearest way possible. “I’m sorry. But I can’t afford to spend fifteen thousand dollars on face cream.”

“But it is really seventy-five hundred a year.” “I’m sorry. But I can’t afford to spend seventy-five hundred dollars a year on face cream.”

“But it is your face!” Krystal cried out, as if I were assailing the holy grail of womanhood. “It is what you present to the world. It is your passport to life.”

The word “passport” reminded me of my most recent passport photo taken six months earlier. I looked shockingly bad.

was tedious and time-consuming.

Everyone in the store crowded around to see the results. Of course, there weren’t any. But at that point, it didn’t matter.

FAKE BEAUTY With the goop off my face, I knew it was my last chance to break free. If I let them put the goop on the other side I was stuck there for another half hour. Thirty minutes of saying nyet.

There was no way I was going to run out into the street with a face full of goop.

They knew this as well. And so, no matter what excuses I made, the Russians batted them away by pointing out that I couldn’t possibly leave with one side of my face looking so much better than the other. “I’ve got a good

feeling about you,” Krystal said. “I really do think you were sent here for a reason. I make up my mind. I’m going to help you.”

“But—” “You have a lot of friends, right?” “Sure. I guess.” “I tell you what.

You and I are going to make a deal.”

I immediately seized on this as a possible way out of my dilemma. Even if I couldn’t afford the face cream, certainly I had friends who could?

“Yes, I have lots of friends,” I said.

“And believe me, they’re all going to want to buy this skin cream. I’ll tell them about it, just as soon as I get out of here.”

But Krystal wasn’t going to go for that either. “You will tell your friends about the products. But not until I tell you to.”

“Excuse me?” “Tell no one. You must keep the secret of the cream. Keep quiet and wait until your friends mention your skin. Until they say, ‘Hello, you look great. Your skin looks great.’ Then, and only then, will you tell them the secret.” “Is this some kind of Facebook thing?”

“I predict it will happen in about three to four months.” She pulled her stool closer. “Tell me the truth. Is it really about the money?”

“Well . . .” “How much do you spend on handbags?” “I don’t know.” I felt like someone was sticking needles in my eyes.

“What about shoes? What if I said I could give you a two- year supply of products for ten pairs of shoes.”

“No.” “You spend more money on your feet than your face? How long you gonna live like that?”

“I don’t know.” “How about eight pairs of shoes?” “Please,” I cried out.

“Five?” “I just can’t.” “What can you pay then?” she demanded. What could I say? Nothing? I can pay nothing? I looked around. Everyone in the store was staring at us.

“Maybe two and a half pairs?”

“That’s not enough. How about . . .”

Krystal wrote yet another number on the pad. She turned it around and

held it up to my face.

“Yes?” she asked. I looked at the number and gave up. “Yes,” I said.

“Yes.”

FACE CREAM AFTERSHOCK My wallet was four thousand dollars lighter and my schlepping bags twenty pounds heavier as I left the store in shock. I was loaded down with products in different colored boxes.

Inside the boxes were masks, ampules, creams, toners, cleansers, and scrubs, all of which came with instructions that included fuzzy photos of the products and the order in which to use them. “So they got you,” Queenie said when I returned to the Village that weekend. “Yes, they did.” “How much?” “Eeeee.” I hedged. Could I tell her the truth? No. I couldn’t even tell myself the truth. I couldn’t digest it. “Maybe two or three thousand?”

I lied. I couldn’t explain it to myself.

Was it possible that Krystal had somehow hypnotized me into spending all that money? Or was it just that I was too afraid to hurt her feelings or make her angry.

There was another part I didn’t want to admit, and it was that I really wanted that face cream. But mostly, I really wanted that face cream to work.

I needed something to make sense.

To not be a complete and utter waste of time.

Using the products wasn’t easy. My routine involved doing drippy masks and having to lie down with slimy pads over my eyes. It meant scheduling time to take care of my skin.

But damn if that face cream didn’t work and damn if it didn’t happen exactly the way Krystal said it would.

For the first six weeks, no one noticed. But then I went to my dermatologist and he exclaimed that my rosacea had improved. After three months, my housekeeper insisted that I looked much younger and happier.

After four months, I ran into old friends and they said they didn’t recognize me I looked so youthful.

161

I knew the effects wouldn’t last forever. The question was, what would I do when the cream ran out?

It happened sooner than expected.

Just when my skin was at the peak of dewiness, three of the products ran out at once. And so I did what any sensible person would do and looked up the ingredients online and found other products that claimed to do the same thing and were much cheaper.

And then I didn’t think about it, until finally, after the longest winter, the days began to warm up and the residents of Madison World came out, once again, into the sun.

And once again, the jewels glinted behind their plate glass windows while the mannequins sported outfits you could only wear in your imagination.

But not everything was the same.

There were more dark places. Empty stores boarded up behind brown construction paper.

And so it was with a strange sort of relief that I discovered the Russians were still there on the stoop, harassing passersby.

I wondered if they would recognize me.

“Hey!” called out the Greek girl. “I really like your style.” I paused. Was this groundhog day? Then I was annoyed.

“Are you kidding me? Don’t you remember? I came in here six months ago and got suckered into buying that face cream.”

“You’re one of our customers?” The girl looked at me as if she couldn’t believe it. Was I not good enough for this store or just too wrinkled to be one of their clients? And then I got it. Maybe she couldn’t believe I would be that stupid.

Here, she said, and pressed a sample packet of face cream into my hands. I took it.

CULTURAL LEADERS OF THE EAST END IN THE THIRD OF A SERIES, PURIST TALKS TO THE GUIDING LIGHTS OF SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTS INSTITUTIONS IN THE HAMPTONS

SAG HARBOR CINEMA

APRIL GORNIK AND GILLIAN GORDON HEAD OF THE SAG HARBOR CINEMA BOARD, AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SAG HARBOR CINEMA PHOTOGRAPHY BY RYAN MOORE FUN FACT: AG: A little girl gave us 35 cents at Harborfest last year as a donation, which was both funny and brought us to tears! It was very touching.

CINEMA PARADISO: The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center (SHC), a nonprofit multipurpose venue, opens in December 2019, replacing a fire-ravaged art house cinema. Artist April Gornik heads the board, and film industry veteran Gillian Gordon is the executive director. The theater has been showing movies since 1938.

BOOSTERS: GG: Steven Spielberg, Alec Baldwin and Gwyneth Paltrow have been incredibly supportive.

MISSION: April Gornik: “Education, outreach, positive economic impact on Main Street, and on Sag Harbor as a growing cultural center.”

Gillian Gordon: “A proper cultural institution, like Lincoln Center, MoMA or American Film Institute, but on a smaller scale.”

AMBITION: GG: I’ve had a fantasy about buying the SAC since I was about 15 years old.

WELLNESS PERK: AG: Watching the wild birds and the animals who live around us, like the osprey coming back and raising their young, and seeing them healthy and protected.

GG: In the Hamptons, when you eat something, it has come from the sea or from a field four hours earlier. You feel like a million bucks. Plus, I swim every day in the sea.

FAVORITE FILM AT SHC: AG: Moonlight, the last film that was playing at the Sag Harbor Cinema before the fire.

2019 HIGHLIGHTS: GG: This summer, director John Landis is curating a comedy series at Pierson High School; upcoming films include Landis’ Trading Places, A New Leaf and Soapdish.

WHERE WELLNESS MEETS CREATIVITY: AG: Art and creativity is the fuel of my life, period!

GG: We don’t have to be artists to be creative; film creates a space for thinking about that.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE: GG: It’s not just a theater, it’s a storefront for ideas, with old and first-run films, plus technology, like virtual reality.

JACK LENOR LARSEN FOUNDER, LONGHOUSE RESERVE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS: With over 60 contemporary pieces from a wide swath artists ranging from Yoko Ono to Dale Chihuly, from around the world

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS: “Interiors sort of stay the way you put them. But the grounds itself, they go out of bloom, they need cutting, they become too large…it’s very dynamic.

My favorite seasons are autumn and winter, when I can see the structure of the trees without the leaves.

And spring is a miracle.

Seeing them blooming, budding, shrubs and trees in full bloom, I enjoy that too.”

LongHouse

MISSION STATEMENT: Located on 16 acres, the 13,000-square-foot LongHouse features 18 spaces on four levels, and was envisioned as a case study to exemplify a creative approach to contemporary living. “I built it for the purpose of public viewing. I was curious to try to show people how you could not conform.

Modern houses pretty much looked alike; they were white and boxy. I wanted a sense of space and structure, materials.”

MAKER IN CHIEF: The esteemed textile designer—one of only four Americans to ever be honored with an exhibition at the Palais du Louvre—founded his fabrics company in 1952. “My leadership was as a chief maker. Whether it was carpets, furniture, textiles, ceramics, dinnerware, or towels and sheets, anything they’d let me make I tried, including 13 books.”

THE NEXT CHAPTER: “I’m writing a book now on famous people I’ve known— like Frank Lloyd Wright and Marilyn Monroe. When I had a very handsome Fifth Avenue showroom, Marilyn showed up with her new husband, Arthur Miller, and her decorator, and I got to know her.”

something you want to give your life to. And retirement is a terrible idea.

My [adopted] big brother was Stanley Marcus, who died at 96. But he worked the day before.

That’s my ambition.”

CREATING AROUND THE CLOCK: “I dream of things in my sleep, then get up and do something about it. And the time I’m doing it, it’s the most important thing there is. That process is very enriching.” and closer to home in the Hamptons (Willem de Kooning, Eric Fischl, and, more recently, Helmut Lang), there is surprise and awe around every bend.

“Sculpture is best outdoors, viewed with direct shade, shadow and contrasting with softer elements. We move our sculptures so people can see them in different spaces.”

SECRET TO A LONG, HAPPY LIFE: “‘Don’t get a job’ is my preaching to students,” says Larsen, who just turned 92 this August. “Their teachers and parents want them to get a job.

That’s a terrible idea! Find a vocation, 164

COMMUNITY OFFERINGS: There is a guided sound meditation on the lawn every Saturday at 8AM throughout the summer season. “It’s something we’ve been doing for 30 years—small group, but they keep coming. We also have 4,500 school students [that visit]. We teach cinematography in first grade, architecture in high school, product design in middle school.”

LIFE’S GREATEST JOYS: “Caring. Not the big things—it’s the little things that are soft, private, that really matter.”

EARLY DAYS: “We opened in ’92, and

Shonna Valeska

FAVORITE QUOTE: “Be an open bowl so some opportunity may fall in.”

“That was engraved in the college art museum in Seattle,” says Larsen, “and really appealed to me. Why not be an open Larsen, at bowl? That’s the story of home at my life.”

we had full events the day we opened. Before I really moved in we had a big celebration here and several exhibits. And the five years I lived next door, we were over here every summer with our guests showing them what was going on. The Times did a big story on us when we started and the headline was: ‘The House Jack Built, and Built, and Built.’ It was ambitious. It cost more money than I had and certainly more time, but we got through. Mortgages helped.”

VISION FOR THE FUTURE: “The house is already open to the public, and the guest rooms and downstairs will be more galleries.

It’ll be more like a museum.”

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: “The trees. The fact that I planted them. They were so little. And I planted them like they were born, and they were small, and now they’re not. Handsome, healthy and beautiful, several hundred kinds of trees. They’re good friends.”

WHAT WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? “That I’m still at it. People may remember the ’60s, when their mother bought Larsen fabrics. I’m doing a new collection, with Sunbrella, that will be out this year. It’ll be about the pattern and color. It’s more color than you’ve seen lately. If you look through magazines recently, there are huge white sofas, lots of them— whole rooms full. This is a reaction to that. Fabrics that you’ll learn to like again, that are important and personal. Mixing colors happily that are good together is the same as doing a flowerbed. Some of them are vivid, some are subtle.”

MISSION: The arts center’s magnificent home base, designed by architecture titan Grosvenor Atterbury, provides inspiration for SAC’s unique cultural programming. “SAC’s mission is to serve our East End community as a hub for arts and culture, while preserving and animating the iconic building and grounds of 25 Jobs Lane for future generations,” says Dunn.

cate ourselves to,” Dunn says. “I think the entirety of this arts and culture center is about wellness as a whole, but we do certainly make an effort to program specifically in the wellness lane, with things like meditation and yoga and other mind-body exercises. We view wellness as being as important as film, theater, or any of the other genres that we support.”

CAN’T MISS: The National Geographic Photo Ark exhibition by Joel Sartore, co-presented by SAC and the International Center of Photography, shines a light on the timely issue of extinction and the conservation movement’s positive impact. Focusing on animals from around the world, the show includes images of species specific to Long Island, such as the piping plover.

WELLNESS PERK: “Floating in the ocean, for me, is the most therapeutic thing,” says Kirwin. “Our Immersive Sound Meditation in the Galleries penetrates your body with the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, Tibetan and Himalayan bells, rain sticks, and more.

It’s a lot like floating, where you feel the current—it’s a sensation beyond words or sound.”

HOT AUGUST EVENTS: Theatre & Opera Mondays feature performances by early-career professionals and well-established veterans of theater, opera and jazz, plus concert readings of new works. On August 19, SAC presents the first act of composer Dan Mertzlufft’s never-before-seen new musical based on Jodi Picoult’s novel, House Rules, followed by a panel discussion.

FUTURE PERFECT: “When we piloted a storytelling evening, an older patron shared with me that her mother used to give piano lessons in our theater,” recalls Dunn. “It was very special to hear that story. SAC has a 99-year lease— our landlord is the Village of Southampton—so this organization is going to be here for generations to come.”

MASTERED METHOD

This August celebrates the 14th anniversary of Brownings Fitness, a private training studio in Manhattan and Southampton.

eas. She also does sports-specific golf and tennis workouts as well as helping people age younger, working on their posture and glute strength.

For Brownings’ nutritional clients, she creates a customized program—based on their goals—that runs from four to eight weeks; many clients choose to continue the program afterward. She is available 24/7 to her clients via text or email, and sends daily emails with meal plans; reviews menus at restaurants where her clients are eating; takes them food shopping and stocks their fridges; and organizes a personal chef to deliver meals. Each nutrition plan is customized in the same way—and yes, she’s strict, but she’s reasonable. She likes tequila (in moderation) and approves of complex carbohydrates like farro, brown rice, lentils or a slice of rye toast—paired with lots of vegetables, good fats and portion control.

The proof of BrowningMETHOD’s success is in the client results, which often show a loss of 20 to 30 pounds within two to four months. Plus, it’s been backed up by people like Rosanna Scotto, co-host of Good Day New York, and Estée Lauder Executive Group President John Demsey, who have both shed significant weight via the method.

And for those heading back to the city in September, keep your eyes and ears out for news later this year of a possible wellness facility, helmed by Browning, on the Upper East Side offering strength training, a yoga studio and nutritious fare.

“If your Ferrari has a flat tire, you call AAA and you fix it. You don’t leave your car to rust on the side of the road.” This metaphorical statement, referring to our bodies, is not surprising to hear from Mary Ann Browning, who spent years as a principal ballerina before her personal training career.

The veteran coach was working with clients long before the official inception of Brownings Fitness, and over the years, culminated with what became known as the BrowningMETHOD, a combination of weight training, cardio and nutrition. Browning says, “It’s about building muscle and burning fat with the right nutrition and cardio to not only lose weight, but to change your body shape, and to keep the weight off long-term.”

She stresses that there’s no “quick fix” here—her method is a way of life. Through hard work and dedication, clients indeed shed unwanted weight, but more importantly, they acquire a set of skills and create a new, healthy lifestyle.

According to Browning, statistics have shown that even once people have lost weight, it takes two years for their bodies to really adjust and maintain this new weight.

Meditators don’t reach an ultimate state of awareness and then cease their practice. Mind and body exercise work the same—you press on and find a way to continue folding what you’ve learned into your daily life.

Of course as a personal trainer, Browning and her staff of 50 (all trained by her), adjust her method to fit individual needs. For example, the program’s strength training involves lifting weights. If a client has a serious injury, she might adjust with lighter weights and more reps on able ar168

POWER MOVES

Katia Pryce created the DanceBody workout to keep clients, and herself, looking like professional dancers, athletic and strong.

I am always shocked that even self-described “non-dancers” enjoy dancing just as much as I do. Dance is an acquired skill, like learning to speak a foreign language; it stimulates your brain and creates new pathways, keeping you cognitively sharp. Yes, there is a slight learning curve, but if you’re willing to breach your comfort zone and learn something new (which, by the way, you should!) the benefits, physical and mental, are worth it. All I ask of my clients in class is that they just “keep moving.”

As a professional dancer, I’ve always had an innate sense of how to keep myself in shape—my body has always been my business. In that way, dancers by nature tend to lean toward a super-healthy, or a super-unhealthy, lifestyle—and I’ve experienced both sides of that coin. I’ve worked through my share of body dysmorphia, eating disorders, extreme exercising, and just plain torture. But luckily, I landed on the “healthy” side and am honored every day to share what works for me with others through DanceBody.

Beyond the typical exercise endorphin high, dancing to music in a group stimulates the primal reward centers in the brain, making you feel more connected, curbing feelings of anxiety and depression—which is why I refer to DanceBody as my organic Zoloft.

But what is a fit brain without a fit body? At 35, I’m in better shape now than when I was dancing professionally. Dancers employ the tactic of “high reps, low resistance” in order to achieve their desired “leanedout” result. The repetition ensures the muscles work to exhaustion, causing them to change shape, and the low resistance (mostly body weight) promises that the muscle fibers aren’t

tearing to rebuild larger. This style of movement creates defined legs, a perky butt, flat abs, a sculpted back, toned arms, amazing posture, and the most rewarding part: confidence.

DanceBody makes you want to dance like everyone is watching.

My goal is to make everyone around me feel powerful inside their own body.

There’s a certain kind of meditation when you hit that “sweet spot”: the music is moving you, muscle memory 170

kicks in, and you’re stepping in stride with the rest of the pack.

Ten years ago, I moved to the city alone, searching out the place where I fit. All I wanted was to feel connected to like-minded people in a powerful way. In the most unpredictable turn of events, starting DanceBody created the space for that to happen. Every day I get to go to work and dance with nice people to good music, and that’s my sweet spot. dancebody.com

COACHES

Stay in peak condition with the help of two East End all-stars in the fields of fitness, yoga and acupuncture.

JIMMY MINARDI: GRATITUDE WITHOUT ATTITUDE “Effort is between you and you,” and “Hack away the unnecessary” are a few of the gems Jimmy Minardi tosses out on beach workouts, surfer yoga class and cycling groups throughout the Hamptons. Retirement led Minardi, a former professional cyclist, body-builder, and ice hockey player, back home to East Hampton, where he trained with world-renowned Ashtanga master Beryl Bender Birch and embraced the yogi lifestyle. “I sleep and wake with the sun,” he says. “I eat and train with the seasons. I keep it simple and efficient.”

The Minardi Training founder’s results-driven, dynamic approach to fitness always keeps things playful. Students get nicknames like “Magic Hands,” or “Sassy.” Says the michievous mentor: “I like to create a team environment, not taking ourselves too seriously. I want you to get more out of your playtime.”

Class participants range from 14 to 70 years of age; students eagerly absorb the wisdom Minardi has gleaned.

Based in the Hamptons all summer, and in Santa Barbara and Aspen in winter, Minardi—whose mantra is to “use the outdoors as the world’s best gym”—aims to create awareness and promote longevity. “Aesthetics are nice, but I want you stable, mobile and strong. I want to keep you out of the injury bin.” minarditraining.com —Debra Rose

KEVIN MENARD: SPORTS MEDICINE ACUPUNCTURIST

Ten years ago, Kevin Menard trained for triathlons while pursuing a career in media business development. “I was working hard, playing hard and training hard—and I kept injuring myself.” His practice of meditation/yoga and martial arts led Menard to explore another Eastern discipline: acupuncture. “The needles kind of freaked me out,” he admits, “but after my first treatment, I was hooked.” When the economy crashed, Menard changed careers, studying to become a licensed acupuncturist, and becoming certified in sports medicine acupuncture.

Today, his Sag Harbor office is a mecca for musculoskeletal pain sufferers. Athletes to architects, brokers to beachcombers appreciate Menard’s modern approach to a traditional healing modality, which includes CBD. With chronic pain, “the body kind of forgets—that’s why people can walk around with pain for months, if not years. Sports medicine needling reminds the body and brain, ‘Hey, let’s focus back on this injury over here.’”

Menard’s spare time is spent not on triathlons, but on using needles to help troubled teens. When the East End experienced a high rate of teen suicide, Menard began offering free clinics for young people aged 12 to 19. “Parents have sent letters saying they hadn’t seen their kid smile in six months; now they’re laughing and showing optimism.

It’s amazing how inserting needles in people can have such dramatic effects on body and spirit—it just blows my mind.” menardacupuncture.com —Julia Szabo 172

NUMEROLOGY

If love and laughter are the best medicines, Jimmy Fallon has been healing people for decades.

Here, we take a look at The Tonight Show host and Sagaponack resident, who just launched a line of board games with Hasbro and wrote his third children’s book, This Is Baby, out in October.

Number of children’s books Fallon has written: Your Baby’s First Word Will Be DADA; Everything Is MAMA; and This Is Baby

Fallon had one semester left at The College of St. Rose in Albany, New York, before dropping out to pursue comedy. Fifteen years later, in 2009, he submitted his portfolio of work from the ensuing years to receive his BA.

MILLION Amount Fallon paid for his Sagaponack home in 2011.

The main house on the property was built in 1850.

HOROSCOPE: Sept. 19. Virgos are generally reserved and show their emotions carefully over time, but Fallon has three planets in Virgo and four planets in Libra. This helps him be gracious under stress and gives him a limitless source of artistic creativity, as well as the ability to see the wry humor in everyday events. His special brand of making people laugh is a mix of intellectual wit, keenly perceptive observations, and his own hilarious and instinctive reactions to spontaneous situations.

His chart shows that he is currently working very hard, and that this hard work will bring him to an even higher level of success by this winter and spring. —by Karen Thorne, karenthorne.com, @karenthorneastrologaie

PURE LOVE

Power couple Stefano Tonchi and David Maupin recharge at their Bridgehampton escape. BY DONNA BULSECO • PHOTOGRAPHY BY GREGG DELMAN tons, even off-season.” The bounty of farm-fresh vegetables and just-caught fish also makes them happy.

“We eat veggies from the garden, making corn salad with tomatoes and basil,” says Maupin, who is on the board of Edible Schoolyard NYC. “I love to grill, and we alternate between a vegetarian day, steaks, and the big summer tradition— having fish—sea bass, local swordfish, fresh calamari.

Stefano is the more accomplished chef.” Adds Tonchi, modestly: “David does the cookies and the focaccia, and the girls are adventurous and love oysters, clams and mussels; our most successful meal is our weekly spaghetti alle vongole.” And “if we are lazy” (there’s that word again), the family bikes to Yama-Q for sushi, or heads to Tutto Il Giorno for pasta or a meal at Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House.

While socializing takes second place to family time, the two of them are Tonchi and Maupin not monks—the couple look forward to the Perfect Earth Project benefit at Larry Gagosian’s place to celebrate the organization founded by landscape designer and pal Edwina von Gal, to promote toxin-free lawns and landscapes for the health of people, their pets and the planet. For Tonchi, who recently left Condé Nast, this summer is also about developing projects that “reevaluate esthetic value” and “continuing to do things I love—connecting contemporary art with fashion and the world of celebrities to put out a socially conscious message, to educate people and create some beautiful images.” Surrounded by the beauty of the Hamptons and the love of family and friends, inspiration comes easily.

They can be counted as two of the world’s accomplished overachievers—Stefano Tonchi, having helmed both T: The New York Times Style Magazine and, more recently, W, fashion’s edgiest and most elegant publication; and David Maupin, who, as a top art dealer, co-founded the influential Lehmann Maupin Gallery in 1996 with Rachel Lehmann, and last year wowed the art world with a gorgeous new three-story flagship in the Peter Marino-designed Getty building in Chelsea.

That said, these charming individuals, gamely waking up before daybreak for a Purist photo shoot, lead impressively balanced and nurturing lives as parents of twin 8-year-old girls, Isabella and Maura. The couple, who married in 2011, admit they like nothing more than lazing around in Bridgehampton, which holds all the restorative elements the East End of Long Island offers. “Our place here is a retreat,” says Maupin. “We keep a very low profile, spending time with our family and close friends, spending time together, decompressing, thinking, exercising, and taking advantage of our location.” In truth, that “lazing around” is far from lazy. “We like the natural beauty of places like Cedar Point, the wildlife refuge at Elizabeth A. Morton where there are osprey,” Maupin continues. “We go to The Springs for paddleboarding and hike in Montauk quite often.” This summer, they watched a school of dolphins cavorting in the ocean.

The steady, slow-it-down rhythm of life here has a pleasing effect. “Leaving on Friday evening after school has become a bit of tradition for the girls,” says Tonchi. “They are still at an age where we can push our love of the Hamp184
