[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] Hard to believe we are supposed to be buying our fall wardrobes now (actually, I think the retail world considers this really late). But Madison Avenue hype aside, sometimes we do need a little push to get the ball rolling, which is just what all those catalogs we get in the mail are trying to do. First and foremost, there’s the ‘moto’ look—you can see it in today’s style section and in just about every catalog of the season. As far as I can make out, it refers to leather, in general, with a focus on jackets, boots and other regalia adorned with zippers and studs meant to simulate ‘motorcycle wear.’ Of course, I’ve never seen anyone on a motorcycle dressed in Ralph Lauren Black Label. But that’s the general idea. And I am glad to see smaller purses making a comeback. I could never understand the allure of those jumbo (and very heavy) leather bags women have been toting around on their forearms for the past decade. Have designers finally realized women have other things to carry? Like briefcases, laptops, diaper bags and sometimes a child or two. Then there are animal prints. If the catalogs are to be believed, you can now mix them—I’d say this one is only for the bold. Better suited for popular consumption: pointy-toed shoes and black lace, as well as the colors purple and red. But if you choose to wear the two colors together, be forewarned: they are the official colors of the Red Hat Society, a group of “women who enjoy acting silly and childlike while wearing red hats and purple outfits.”

their time and money to help the poor in Africa. But severe poverty can be found much closer to home. Just an hour’s drive southwest of St. Louis, hunger and unemployment are facts of everyday life. Many people who live there can’t afford things most of us take for granted, including food, toothpaste and toilet paper. Since 1942, The Rural Parish Workers have served the poor in Washington County. “This small group of Catholic women is committed to improving the quality of life for families in this destitute area,” explains Joann Rull, a member of Friends of the Rural Parish Workers, a St. Louis group dedicated to supporting their efforts. “The Workers assist residents with basic needs, both material and spiritual.” “If you can’t feed your kids or pay your utility bills, the Workers are there for you,” says Diane Garea, also a member of Friends. “If you need medical or legal aid, a ride to the doctor, or someone to lend a hand and a heart during a rough time, you can count on them. If you need gas money to get to work, it’s yours. If you give them a dollar, they’ll stretch it to help as many people as possible. Their door is always open. They never turn anyone away.” Based at St. Michael House in Fertile, Mo. (near Potosi), the Workers reach more than 3,000 people each year. Services include a food pantry, self-help work programs, and educational, religious and social activities. “The residents are proud and hard-working, but they lack jobs since the mines dried up and several factories left the area,” Rull explains. “The Workers restore their dignity and productivity, and partner with area leaders and agencies to find long-term solutions for economic problems.” The Workers receive some financial assistance from the Archdiocese of St. Louis, but much of their funding comes from the annual Friends of the Rural Parish Workers Luncheon and Fashion Show. This year’s event, Oct. 24 at The Ritz-Carlton, is co-chaired by Rull and Garea. The runway show, hosted by Guy Phillips and Kathy Ferrara, features fashions from Chesterfield Mall and West County Center. Participating stores include Eddie Bauer, Francesca’s Collections, The Limited, and White House | Black Market at both malls; and Apricot Lane, Camille La Vie, Dillard’s, Gap, Monsoon Children and Old Navy at Chesterfield Mall. The fashion show is produced by StLouisInStyle.com. “We’re honored to help the Rural Parish Workers accomplish their mission,” says Sean Phillips, founder of StLouisInStyle and regional marketing director of CBL & Associates Properties, which owns and operates Chesterfield Mall and West County Center. “It’s a labor of love for us.” Last year’s show raised $52,500. “Washington County is our Africa, but the families who live there don’t have a movie star to draw attention to their plight,” Garea says. “But they do have the Rural Parish Workers. And these selfless, holy women rely on us to help them carry out God’s work.”

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.
When I was living in Glendale, a neighbor occasionally parked his work van on the street … during the day. But nobody left their work or personal vehicles on the street overnight, because they might have been ticketed. I provide this information for perspective re: a proposal that, at this writing, Chesterfield city officials were to have considered Sept. 9: No commercial vehicles may be parked overnight on residential streets. It looked as though the measure would pass easily; the city council’s preliminary vote was 6-1. Curious bit of class warfare going on here. In an upscale community like Chesterfield, it makes sense that folks shouldn’t park their ice-cream trucks or flat-beds in full view of the neighbors, who might have a Lexus SUV, let’s say, which would also eliminate advertising emblazoned on vehicles. Wonder what this means for the sellers of Mary Kay cosmetics or Silpada jewelry, who note as much with decals in said SUV windows? St. Louis County government is based in Clayton. City government is based in St. Louis, which acts as its own county, and has since it split from the county in the mid-1800s. Many say the two governments should be merged to pare down expenses, at least on duplicating services between the two entities. The process of cooperation has begun, with the St. Louis Economic Development Corp. having officially made a start July 1 of working side-by-side with the St. Louis County Economic Council. Well, lawmakers got an unexpected earful about the broader issue during a public hearing that was supposed to have been dedicated to equitable sharing of sales taxes. It takes patience just to make it through the name of this body (take a deep breath; you’re gonna need it): Joint Interim Committee on St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area Governance and Taxation. Seems pretty specific to me. But, it’s politics. Trying to shoehorn discussion of irrelevant issues into a dialogue … or unrelated action items into a bill … is the way we don’t get things done in this country.
OF THE
Glum Schoolkid No. 1 (while texting): What’d you do this summer? Glum Schoolkid No. 2 (while watching YouTube video on iPhone): Video games, mostly. You? Glum Schoolkid No. 1 (after texting ‘omg lol’): Hung out at the pool, mostly. How boring. Glum Schoolkid No. 2: I know, right? Harrumph. While, alas, I’d wager that some hundred dozen or so kids were that under-stimulated over the summer vacation, others stayed busy working, volunteering or at camp—and Emma Page sewed pillowcases. A fifth grader at St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Des Peres, Emma didn’t even know how—at first. But her equally enterprising grandmother showed her the ropes (threads?), and by the end of the summer Emma had completed 15 pillowcases that she donated to St. Louis Children’s Hospital (plus two pairs of PJs, one for herself and another for an exchange student who lives with her family). She’d gotten the idea from her American Girl magazine. Hey, kids, now you have the idea from ours. No need for boring summers ever again. The Culpeppers on Kirkwood Road has closed, we’re sorry to say, but good news: rumor has it that Steve Gontram is opening a second 5-star burger there. That Culpeppers had been open nearly 20 years, closing Sept. 4, and the Creve Coeur restaurant closed last month. For those still eager for this particular version of pub grub, including Buffalo-style hot wings that aren’t quite three-alarm, the remaining eatery is in the CWE at Euclid and Maryland avenues, where the company put down its roots in 1935. There are two in St. Charles County, in O’Fallon and St. Charles. Those still deliver the full array of menu items … we just don’t know how far they’ll go. How urgently do you need your care? It seems to depend on which hospital group thinks another might be getting a bigger slice of this lucrative pie, so the urgency may not necessarily
be for your benefit, but instead for the hospital corporation’s bottom line. How do we know the so called ‘Doc-in-aBox’ business is booming? Well, really, we don’t. But that has to be one of the reasons for the urgency in building urgent-care centers here, there and everywhere. One of the most recent announcements comes from St. Luke’s, with news of its seventh center to open in our area. The hospital reportedly will spend $700,000 on its center in Ladue Crossing, 8857 Ladue Road. It is slated to open in November. I guess, in some hospital ERs, that’s about the same time the doctor will see you. When old fellers sitting on the front stoop run out of things to say about the hometown baseball team, idle chatter may resume for another couple hours when someone says, Some stretch of weather we’re having, eh? Yeah, there was that unseasonably cool stretch last month … which ironically brings us to the subject of global warming, a long-term challenge that has a lot more to do with greenhouse gases and shrinking ice caps than a few weeks of abnormal local forecasts here and there. A former vice president, Al Gore, called it An Inconvenient Truth in his eponymous,
Oscar-winning film. Richmond Heights Sept. on 26 (6-8 p.m.) will present Weather You Like It Or Not, during which Larry Lazar of Climate Reality St. Louis will discuss climate change. David Gipson, assistant city manager, will lay out what the city has done—and area residents can do—to save energy and money. The city has implemented a $2.8 million energy-saving initiative that stands to save $60,000 annually in energy costs. Money, of course, isn’t really the issue here, people; how about the well-being of the planet? The slang term ‘holy roller’ gets a different spin at Epiphany Lanes, an eight-lane bowling alley in the recreation building at Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church in southwest St. Louis. You don’t have to be a member of the church, and certainly not much of a bowler, to avail yourself of the old-school recreational facility. It’s a throwback to the days when a Catholic parish was more like the community center, where neighborhood folks got married and buried (well, had their send-offs from life before they were laid to rest elsewhere). Kids went to school there, and it most likely didn’t matter whether you were Protestant,

Jewish or whatever: you could still probably join the soccer team. We didn’t see any vintage league shirts when we prayed for strikes (and, lo, were bestowed a few) at this retro joint, built in 1950 and just a hop off I-44 in either

four young’uns. And, for a little extra per lane, you can even cosmic bowl—does anybody remember what that is? Or, is the correct phrase ‘to bowl cosmically’? Difficult to comprehend that, in little over a week, sculptor and artistic visionary Bob Cassilly will have been gone two years. He died Sept. 26, 2011, with his boots on, quite literally, when the bulldozer he was operating at his latest project, Cementland in north St. Louis, flipped over. Although projects that were under way may continue, how could a man who would vandalize his own sculpture be replaced? (In a fit of pique over a coat of sealant workers applied to his reptiles in Turtle Park, he spray-painted them with graffiti.) Cassilly was famed far and wide for his animal sculptures, from the sea lion fountains at Saint Louis Zoo, hippos at a playground in NYC’s Central Park, to the TALLEST! sculpture in Texas—a giraffe at the Dallas Zoo that’s some 68-feet-tall, hooves to tongue tip. Visitors to the Old Orchard section of his hometown, Webster Groves, might not know that the groupings of red
concrete apple chairs (each with a big bite taken out, (the better to sit in them, my dear) at Gazebo Park and elsewhere, are Cassilly originals. In 1972 in Rome, the sculptor happened to be admiring a masterpiece when a madman leapt from the crowd and started chipping away with a geologist’s hammer. Cassilly was credited with subduing Laszlo Toth until authorities took him away, but not before he had struck Michelangelo’s Pietà more than a dozen times, breaking off the Virgin Mary’s arm and badly chipping the face. Her nose was never found. Perhaps his most beloved legacy is City Museum, a wonderland of ‘repurposed’ industrial and architectural objects, recognized by the hippo and praying mantis visible on the rooftop. It attracts hundreds of thousands yearly; 600,000 in 2007. Cassilly reportedly was trying to outdo himself at Cementland. If it is ever finished, who could know whether it may be remotely similar to Cassilly’s grand plan … at least, on any particular day?

CHARLIE’S TOWN
[ Talk about being in the right place at the right time. In the mid-1990s, JACK DORSEY was working
at his mother’s Shenandoah Coffee Company in St. Louis’ Compton Heights neighborhood. One day, a co-worker of Jim McKelvey’s walked in and asked if anyone knew how to program computers. “My mother immediately pointed to me because she knew I knew nothing about espresso or cappuccino, which was my job,” Dorsey remembers. He immediately began interning at McKelvey’s computer company, Mira. The pair later started the mobile payments company Square in 2008. Forbes says most of 36-yearold Dorsey’s $1.1 billion estimated net worth “is derived from his roughly 25 percent stake in Square.” ] [ Singer/songwriter PAUL WILLIAMS (Evergreen, We’ve Only Just Begun, Rainbow Connection) has mixed emotions remembering his appearance in Finian’s Rainbow at The Muny in 1976. At the time, Williams was battling alcoholism. During the show, he hid in the set’s wishing well to drink beer. The sound of beer cans popping open was caught on mike and puzzled the sound technicians and the audience. Today, Williams has been sober for 23 years and is out with the almost-35th anniversary edition of The Muppet Movie soundtrack. ] [ In a recent column I lamented the slipshod landscaping and maintenance of Missouri’s highways. DENNIS

suggested I tour Iowa. The Hawkeye State uses native prairie plants in the majority of roadside seedings to produce sustainable color. According to Waldum, the results are strikingly beautiful. ] [ I also wrote how one could spend a whole week’s vacation just on I-44. Several alert readers informed me of TRAVELING THROUGH ILLINOIS:
STORIES OF I-55 LANDMARKS AND LANDSCAPES BETWEEN CHICAGO AND ST. LOUIS by LuAnn Cadden and Ted Cable. The
book, organized by mile marker, points out illustrious connections, a mystery mansion, important monuments, curiosities and historical towns. ] [ Guests of CLAYTON’S 100TH BIRTHDAY PARTY at the Ritz-Carlton Nov. 29, 2013 can now receive a deluxe room rate of $159 (plus tax) that night, about $70 off the standard rate.

[BACKTALK A NEW KIND OF ADVICE COLUMN by raschelle burton & patty hannum I HAVE A CLOSE FRIEND WHO ALWAYS GETS ME THE STRANGEST BIRTHDAY GIFTS. IT’S AS IF SHE HAS NO IDEA WHO I AM OR WHAT I LIKE. MAYBE SHE IS RE-GIFTING? I LOVE MY FRIEND, BUT I HATE HER GIFTS—ANY SUGGESTIONS?

ARRIVALS from
RASCHELLE: Wow, what is the matter with her? How dare she give you a gift you don’t want? Doesn’t she check your wish lists before she makes a purchase? Why are you even friends with her? Yes, I do have a suggestion. And I mean this in the nicest way possible: zip it! That’s right, we all need to take a breath and remember that the gift of a gift is not the gift itself, but the act of giving. She took the time and money to remember you. As for the re-gifting theory, you’ll never know, so just assume she is. And then decide how important gifts are to you in this friendship. While you work that out, try to remember what your mother may not have taught you: smile, say thank you, and when you’re alone shove that stupid gift in a box with the other stuff you’ll re-gift yourself one day. PATTY: I do appreciate Raschelle’s comments concerning the acting of giving, but I must say, What the what? Yes, from a Miss Manners point of view, we should appreciate the spirit of a gift, but if this is one of your close friends and she always gets it wrong, I have to question what kind of friend she really is. OK, I know that sounds a little harsh and could be the reason I don’t have that many friends and yes, I am one of those people who spends a lot of time thinking about gifts, buying gifts and wrapping gifts, so I do have high expectations. That said, it isn’t worth the break-up of a friendship or even the aggravation this is causing. Why not just suggest to your friend that you stop the gift giving and just take each other out for lunch or dinner for your special occasions? Trust me, a meal with a little wine and a lot of laughs is the best gift ever. I RECENTLY MOVED TO ST. LOUIS AND I AM ALWAYS SO SURPRISED WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ME WHERE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY PEOPLE DO THIS? WHAT DO YOU SAY IF YOU DID NOT GO TO HIGH SCHOOL HERE? — BAFFLED BY ODD QUESTION
PATTY: Oh, yes, that question. I have lived in St. Louis my entire life and hate that question, yet I find myself asking it of anyone new I meet. Why? For me, it is the easiest way to make a connection. My next question then is, “Oh, do you know so and so?” Yes, it is an odd St. Louis thing, like sweet tea is in the South. If you did not grow up in St. Louis, either answer with your alma mater’s name or make one up. My favorite is St. Ginger’s of Gilligan’s Island. I do know that some people think asking the question is a veiled attempt to determine your social or economic status. Not true, we’re looking at your car and its bumper stickers to do that. RASCHELLE: I’ve lived here for just a little more than four years, and it’s clear that I will never be accepted as a native because I cannot answer this question properly. But the good news is, I’ve only been asked this question once, and the woman who asked it was clearly so befuddled by social norms that asking this odd question was the least of her worries. In fact, when I couldn’t answer to her satisfaction she blurted out: “You know, I don’t really need any more friends.” So I think you should use the question as a filter of your own. If anyone asks you the question again, just say: “You know, I don’t really need any more friends.” That ought to clear things right up.

MAGNIFICENT] MISSOURI
by tony di martino
IT BEGAN, AS MANY INSPIRED PROJECTS DO, ON A LONG CAR TRIP. After a board meeting at Shaw Nature Reserve, Dan Burkhardt and John McPheeters were driving back to St. Louis along Interstate Highway 44. “As we were passing through this amazing countryside, it occurred to us that many groups are doing wonderful things to conserve our natural resources,” Burkhardt says. “But they seldom connect with each other, or with the general public. So we decided to bring everyone together—and throw some great parties.” That was the start of Magnificent Missouri, a nonprofit that organizes fundraising events to benefit 23 regional environmental and conservation groups. “We try to find better ways to foster collaboration among the groups, and to make St. Louisans more aware of the abundant beauty around us,” McPheeters explains. Both men are dedicated environmentalists. McPheeters, owner of Bowood Farms and Cafe Osage in the Central West End, has a farm in Clarksville, Mo.; Burkhardt, managing director at Oakwood Medical Ventures, was raised on a farm. He also owns Bethlehem Valley Vineyards near Marthasville and, with his wife, Connie, established the Katy Land Trust, an organization dedicated to preserving Missouri farms and forests. “But our goal with Magnificent Missouri is to attract people who aren’t environmentalists,” McPheeters says. “What’s the one thing that no one can resist? Great food!” So the first major event he and Burkhardt organized, with help from Gerard Craft (of Niche, Taste and Pastaria) and other top chefs, was the Magnificent Missouri dinner series, a five-part movable feast featuring local foods, set in the countryside that produced them. Food is also the lure at Magnificent Missouri’s second annual Conservation Celebration, Oct. 13 at the Daniel Boone Home in Defiance, Mo. At the event, standout chefs will grill local foods over an open fire, and serve them with Missouri beers and wines. Participating chefs are Craft, Patrick Connolly of Basso, Mike Randolph of Little Country Gentleman, Josh Galliano of The Libertine, Nick Martinkovic of Central Table Food Hall, Nick Miller of Harvest and Kevin Nashan of Sidney Street Cafe. Tickets are $200; $100 for people under 30 and $50 for kids; proceeds go to Nine Network of Public Media to support conservation programming. “The menu will offer the very best from Missouri waters and farms,” Craft says. “My fellow chefs and I are dedicated to interpreting our amazing culinary heritage—and to replacing and protecting Missouri’s bounty, so future generations can enjoy it.” “There’s so much more to our state than most of us are aware of,” Burkhardt says. “Join us Oct. 13 for a day of food, music and fun in the magnificent Missouri countryside. Come outside and play!” PARTICIPATING IN THE OCT. 13 CONSERVATION CELEBRATION ARE CHEFS GERARD CRAFT AND KEVIN NASHAN (SEATED) AND (STANDING) MIKE RANDOLPH, PATRICK CONNOLLY, NICK MILLER, JOSH GALLIANO AND NICK MARTINKOVIC.

River Country by rebecca koenig
The sunrise fishing trip, the rowdy family rafting adventure, the proposal at a romantic overlook: these are the moments Missouri River Country celebrates. The new anthology of essays and images tells the story of the river that gives the state its name and livelihood. What began as a personal project for Oakwood Medical Ventures managing director and farmer Dan Burkhardt grew into a statewide collaboration. “The book meandered like the Missouri River used to,” Burkhardt says. He originally planned to hire a travel writer, but soon realized, Why not let the people tell the stories themselves? So he solicited contributions from dozens of Missouri experts in different fields, plus Gov. Jay Nixon and senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt.

BLUFFS OF THE MISSISSIPPI BY BRYAN HAYNES
Conservation is the subtext of the anthology, but in his introduction Burkhardt describes it as simply “an appreciation book … a thank-you letter to the explorers, historians, preservationists, writers, photographers, conservationists, farmers and artists who have worked along the river.” He does want it to encourage readers to value the region’s natural resources, though, having learned from his parents that the land will take care of those who take care of it. “That was the farmers philosophy,” he explains. “As society has gotten more away from agriculture, not many people are aware of that ethic anymore.” Burkhardt hopes Missouri River Country will remind them. Quoting his mentor and Katy Trail founder Ted Jones, he says, “ ‘People in the city will respect the country more if we give them a way to see it.’” PHOTO BY DANNY BROWN

PETER RAVEN
by tony di martino | photos by bill barrett
Peter Raven’s lifelong mission to save the earth began when he was growing up in San Francisco. “I was 6 years old and home sick with the measles when I read a book about insects,” he recalls. “I was fascinated by the idea that butterflies came from caterpillars—and that every aspect of nature was interconnected. As soon as I felt better, I decided to go outside and take a good look around.” He’s still looking. Raven, an internationally renowned botanist, is a passionate advocate for conservation, a sustainable environment and the preservation of endangered plants and their ecosystems. He has received the National Medal of Science, the highest scientific award in the U.S., and has been honored by Time magazine as a ‘Hero for the Planet.’ As head of Missouri Botanical Garden for four decades, he helped build it into a world leader in research and education. “We now have community wide sustainability, recycling and outreach programs and one of the three largest plant science programs in the world, with projects in 35 countries,” he says. In his current role as Garden president emeritus and consultant, he works to preserve and protect the environment, collaborating with the Center for Plant Conservation, a network of 39 botanic institutions that protect threatened species by banking seeds for future germination. He’s involved in plant restoration efforts at the Garden’s Shaw Nature Reserve, 2,500 acres of natural Ozark landscape and managed plant collections in Gray Summit, Mo. He also successfully spearheaded statewide efforts to control bush honeysuckle, an invasive weed that threatened to overrun Missouri woodlands a few years ago. Raven doesn’t always like what he sees. “Let’s not sugarcoat it: The world is clearly headed downhill,” he says. “The threats facing the rich array of life on the planet are severe. Humanity is using resources and producing carbon dioxide emissions at a rate much higher than what nature can reabsorb and regenerate, draining our natural capital rapidly instead of living off the interest. This results in the depletion of resources that all species, including our own, depend on for life itself.” Global climate change is a major factor that’s driving many plant species to extinction, he notes. “We’ve got to deal with it, or we’ll destroy the rapidly dwindling supply of resources, submerge both coasts and burn to a crisp.” But we have a choice, he adds. “Each and every one of us has an opportunity to decide where the destruction stops. We can recycle, drive a smaller car, and generally meet our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It’s not too late to make a difference—it’s what I’ve devoted my life to.”
Will Missouri’s streams and hillsides still be here for our grandchildren and their children? Yes, if these two environmentalists have anything to do with it.
PAT JONES
The late Edward D. ‘Ted’ Jones took a small family investment business and turned it into a nationwide, 12,000-branch network of financial services offices. But that wasn’t his only legacy. He also donated $2.2 million toward the acquisition and development of the Katy Trail, then spent more than 10 years championing the project, lobbying the Missouri legislature for approval and ensuring the trail was adopted as a state park. These days, everybody seems to love hiking and biking the trail, but it wasn’t always so popular. “The hardest work Ted ever did was getting the legislature to accept the idea,” recalls his wife of 40 years, Pat Jones. “He faced a lot of opposition, particularly from farm groups, who feared the trail would invade their privacy and invite crime. But he loved nature, and he wanted to give everyone from the city an opportunity to enjoy it. When he wanted something, he wouldn’t give up until he got it.” Pat Young and Ted Jones grew up in St. Louis “within rock-throwing distance of each other,” Jones recalls. “But both of us always preferred the country.” Appropriately enough, they met on a bike trip when they were 15 years old and were sweethearts from that moment on. Ted Jones passed away in 1990, just after the trail opened. His widow has continued to support environmental issues throughout Missouri and Illinois, including the protection of 100,000 acres of watershed land along the Current River. “People have no business running sewer lines into creeks and putting pig lots in the watersheds,” she says. “They have to get over the idea of, It’s my land, I can do what I want. Yes, you can do what you want—as long as you don’t harm your neighbor.” Jones has been dubbed ‘Prairie Godmother’ for her work with the Prairie Fork Conservation Area, 711 acres in Williamsburg that she donated to the Missouri Department of Conservation in 1997. “Farming and development have devoured all but a fraction of the 15 million acres of prairie that once covered Missouri,” she says. “The prairie is home to hundreds of threatened native grasses, wildflowers and wild creatures. We’re trying to restore and preserve them while also serving as an educational resource and nature sanctuary for schoolkids. They need to know there’s a world beyond their mowed yard in the suburbs.” Born in 1925, Jones is still pretty feisty. “We’ve got to get carbon emissions out of the air—it’s destroying our planet! I’m all for a hydrogen-based economy. We have the technology to use water to generate electricity. I want to live long enough to see it happen.”

THREE-YEAR-OLD MAC DREW HIS MOM A PICTURE OF A HEART. “For Daniel,” he explained–his brother Daniel, who had recently passed away. Through Project Flutter, a new Friends of Wings initiative, an artist turned Mac’s sweet sketch into a beautiful poster, the sales of which benefit Wings, the BJC pediatric hospice program. “This was a way to honor families and share with the community the child’s artful expression in a tangible way,” says Friends of Wings founder Asha Zimmerman. Wings provides support and health care options for families who have children with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. Fundraising is provided by Friends of Wings, which developed the poster series idea while looking for a new and different fundraising concept. Zimmerman turned to Moosylvania, a full-service digital advertising agency based in Maplewood whose COO, Nick Foppe, expressed interest in a collaboration. Foppe’s kids, he explains, wanted to do something for sick kids, so he met with Zimmerman to brainstorm. “We talked about what we thought would be a synergistic program,” Foppe says. “Wouldn’t it be really cool if we created a poster series that we could sell online and at exhibits and displays? We’d pair a designer with a child, and they’d come up with different inspirational ideas.” Twenty graphic artists from Moosylvania volunteered for the project. Each met a young patient or bereaved child and learned about his or her hobbies, hopes and personality. “We gave a portfolio of children to the designers and they read the bios and figured out what resonated with them,” Foppe says. “People made a connection to the child before they collaborated creatively. It allowed them to be inspired to design something on behalf of the child.” Using a gray, pink and green color palette, the artists then translated the conversations they’d shared with the children into works of art. The kids left direct imprints, too: Each poster features a child’s hand-drawn butterfly. The posters debuted at a kickoff party at Moosylvania’s headquarters, where the artists and their young muses gathered to celebrate. The posters, later exhibited at Saks Fifth Avenue in July, are still available for purchase online at flutter.friendsofwings.org. Nearly 300 have been sold for $30 each. “The public has gotten really inspired by this,” Foppe says. “The posters are beautiful. People who were buying were excited to frame them and put them in their homes as artwork.” As for Mac’s heart, it’s now a glowing constellation in the night sky. A rocket ship blasts off below, headed straight for it. “Let love fly,” the poster reads in homes and offices around St. Louis, a tribute to one brother’s love.

A CHARCOAL SKETCH OF ABBY SCHWARTZ
and Jordan Durlester holding hands under the chuppah will forever preserve their Oct. 27 wedding. The Rock Hill couple quickly realized they were meant for each other after meeting in San Francisco, where Abby, then a law student, was visiting a friend. “He proposed within five months, which startled both of our families,” Abby says. “I was going for what I thought was a routine visit on Rosh Hashana. Jordan picked me up, took me to a pretty overlook, and asked. I was shocked. He’d secretly flown out my mom and grandma, who were back waiting for us at his parents’ house.” Jordan’s Orthodox family members needed to walk from the ceremony to the reception, so the couple chose the Chase Park Plaza as their venue. “We really wanted someplace that had some history to it,” Abby says. The charcoal drawing, done by ‘Original Butt Sketch’ artist Krandel Lee Newton, was partially a tribute to Abby’s late father, whom Newton had sketched years before. “We tried to do things we thought would honor him, while it was still fun, because that’s what he would have wanted,” Abby says. Plus, Newton’s sketches of guests made unique mementos. “I was kind of sick of the photo booth situation,” Abby explains. The bride wore her mother’s veil, and the groom’s uncle, a retired rabbi, officiated. The wedding united their families despite their new baseball rivalry: The St. Louis Cardinals, the Schwartzs’ team, had just lost the National League Championship to the San Francisco Giants, the Durlesters’ team. “There were jokes throughout the weekend about it,” Abby says. “His family was way more gracious than mine would have been!”

ACQUIRING GOODS FROM EXOTIC LOCALES is one of the pleasures of traveling, but with the spring arrival of Pace Farias Collections, an international-flavored boutique, St. Louisans don’t need to board a plane to make their wardrobes more worldly. Fashion might not seem like the obvious choice for someone with a career history like St. Louis-raised Suzanne Pace, who co-owns the boutique with her husband, Ricardo Farias Nicolopulos. She lived all over the world as a successful businesswoman, then transitioned to the art world, representing Mexican artists in New York and even directing St. Louis’ Sheldon Art Galleries in the late 1990s before returning to St. Louis for her son’s education. But Pace Farias is the culmination of her interests and talents. “Fashion is a way to combine an interest in culture, history and art,” she says. “When it uses ethnic and cultural traditions, fashion is another way of presenting art, especially if it’s designed by artists.” And wearable art from all around the world is precisely the boutique’s niche, says Pace. “One can easily go to China and pick up mass-produced, beautiful clothing, but our collection’s mission is to work with designers whose products are made by hand and carefully selected,” she says. Pace Farias’ merchandise includes Italian leather handbags from Francesca Evangelista, Greek goddess sandals from Eleftheria and Greek jewelry from Mary Samoli. The boutique’s primary collection is from Mexican fashion house Pineda Covalin, which uses traditional Mayan, Aztec, Oaxacan and Colombian patterns and symbols. “The pieces feature amazing designs from Mexico and beautiful silk scarves, tunics and accessories,” Pace says. “They’re just exquisite.” (Pace and Nicolopulos also own a store in Athens ASHLEY FLETCHER MODELS A PINEDA COVALIN called Anneta Farias, which also carries WRAP AND JEWELRY BY MARY SAMOLI Pineda Covalin.) PHOTO BY ROBERT L BROWN PHOTOGRAPHY It’s not just international designers who have captured Pace’s interest—her store also will be collaborating with local artists, starting with naturalist painter Mary Sprague. “We have a scarf coming out by Mary in the fall that’s based on her rhinoceros paintings,” Pace says. “It’s a way for more people to have access to her images in a very fun way. That’s kind of the direction we’re moving in—finding renowned artists and transferring their work to wearable art.” Bringing together far-flung, high-end designers makes the store unique to St. Louis, says Pace. “We are the only shop in the U.S., apart from one small store in Miami, to carry Pineda Covalin and we’re the only shop in the Midwest to carry Francesca Evangelista handbags,” she says. “You’re not going to find a lot of our merchandise anywhere else in St. Louis, or the rest of the country.” This month, Pace Farias is showcasing haute couture pieces from Pineda Covalin and Sona, a Milan-based cashmere designer, in the St. Louis Fashion Week fashion show at Plaza Frontenac. “It’s very exciting to have this in St. Louis,” Pace says. “Events like this certainly didn’t exist when I grew up here, so it’s fun to see St. Louis taking fashion seriously.”
Lingerie & Swimwear Excludes prior sales & special orders, in-stock merchandise only.

Transitioning from one season to the next is actually more mental that seasonal. I always feel ready for the next season way before our St. Louis weather dictates it. So rather than delving into full-blown fall fashion, we take a look at transitional dressing—a much more realistic option for these temps. Dresses provide the perfect canvas for summer-to-fall dressing, with vivid colors and patterns leading the way. And what’s fall without the perfect leather jacket? Come see how to effortlessly make the leap from summer to fall.

kiss aging lips goodbye //
[ FALL BEAUTY by sarah savat
Fall is the perfect time to consider cosmetic procedures like face-lifts, chemical peels and facial fillers. Your skin is protected from summer’s harsh sunlight—and you’ll look great for the holidays.
Fillers are the least invasive and quickest way to get significantly softer, sexier lips, according to DR. MICHELE KOO OF AESTHETIC & HAND SURGERY INSTITUTE. “The entire face, not only the lips, loses volume and plumpness with age,” Koo explains. “The borders of the lips may become more sharp instead of round. Fillers soften and add fullness to the lips, which softens the entire appearance of the face. And, if done with skill, augmented lips can look extremely natural. ” Koo’s filler of choice for lips is Juvéderm. “It’s more forgiving and softer than others—fillers such as Artecoll and Radiesse can be lumpy,” she says. Juvederm typically lasts a year to 18 months; though results vary; some fillers are semi-permanent and can take years to dissolve. The most common side effect is bruising, which typically clears up within a week. “There’s a risk for tissue loss, as well, which is why I recommend seeing an experienced plastic surgeon who’s qualified to deal with potential complications,” Koo says. “I inject every single one of my patients myself, so I fully understand their comfort levels and desired outcomes. I also know exactly how their lips will respond.”

When most people say ‘full face-lift,’ they generally mean a jawline/neck-lift, plus eyelid surgery and brow-lift surgery. Full face-lifts are the best option for treating more advanced aging and changes in the jawline and neck. Compared to mini face-lifts, the results are much better and last much longer. A traditional full face-lift lasts five to 10 years. These days, face-lifts are done safely under sedation, with no need for general anesthesia. And, instead of merely pulling the skin tight, they work on the ‘foundation’ of the face—the muscular layer—for a more natural-looking, lasting result. If you’re considering a face-lift, visit with an expert cosmetic surgeon who routinely deals with many different face shapes, tissue types and builds. No two faces are alike, and only an expert has the range of options needed to take the best course of action from start to finish.
>> dr. judith gurley, JUDITH GURLEY PLASTIC SURGERY
If you’re considering a facial procedure, my advice is don’t wait too long—enjoy the results now. A face-lift gives you tighter facial skin, a smoother jowl-line and a cleaner distinction between chin and neck. For some younger individuals with less facial aging, a mini lift may be all that’s needed for a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Mini lifts are less invasive and require less downtime. They’re also less expensive, but the results last only one to three years. Most adults require more extensive correction, where the neck, jawline and cheeks are improved. Today’s face-lifts are better than ever. Surgeons strategically place incisions within the hairline or along natural creases to minimize the visibility of scars. And contouring with fat allows us to uniquely tailor the procedure for the patient. Like all surgeries, there are potential risks, which can include loss of hair along scars, loss of skin, asymmetry, nerve injury and contour deformity. To minimize risks, do your homework and make sure you choose an experienced surgeon.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2013
In recent years, there has been a change of opinion in how rhinoplasty surgery should be performed. We now recognize that it’s important to protect or enhance the architectural integrity of the nose to get the best long-term outcome. Rhinoplasties done 30 to 40 years ago don’t look as good today because less attention was paid to these factors. Noses naturally change over time; the skin sleeve of the nose gets thinner, including the layer of fat and muscle overlying the cartilage and bone. For patients who lack natural architectural integrity, we can borrow cartilage from the septum, a rib or possibly from the ear. There are two basic types of rhinoplasties: closed and open procedures. In my practice, a vast majority of rhinoplasties are performed with the closed technique. Because the incisions are made inside the nose, the closed procedure requires less time to heal and causes less swelling. The open technique requires an incision on the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils on the base of the nose. This procedure gives more direct exposure to the nasal anatomy and is indicated when the anatomy of the nose is more complex. The open procedure leaves a visible scar.
>> dr. john chi, WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
The nose is a central structure on the face, but it should not be the focal point of attention. An aesthetically balanced nose draws attention to the individual’s eyes without drawing attention to itself. While many patients can articulate the perceived flaws in their nasal appearance, rarely do they appreciate the need to maintain harmony between their nose and the rest of their face. Achieving this balance requires a facial plastic surgeon to tailor the procedure according to each patient’s nose, facial structure and ethnicity. Today, surgeons also try to preserve key structural components of the nose to avoid the look of having had ‘work done.’ A major consideration in rhinoplasty is the state of the skin of the nose. The condition of nasal skin can impact a lot of different aspects of facial appearance. A carefully tailored skincare regimen can improve blemishes, acne, pore size and other skin problems that may draw attention to the nose, further highlighting perceived abnormalities. Prior to a consultation, the patient should try to prioritize their concerns, such as complaints about aesthetics and function, concerns about needles and surgery, down time or recovery time after treatment and surgical versus non-surgical treatments.

[ facial fillers ] Facial fillers are an excellent, minimally invasive alternative to plastic surgery. Local experts say they look so natural, no one has to know your secret. >> dr. dee anna glaser, SLUCARE
This is a really exciting time for facial fillers. The newest generation of fillers, including Juvéderm and Restylane, feature hyaluronic acid and offer better, longer-lasting results. We also recently finished clinical trials on Juvéderm Voluma XC, the first FDA-approved filler for cheek enhancement, which will possibly hit the market later this year. Fillers are a great option for busy people who want to restore their facial volume for a natural, more youthful appearance with little or no downtime. The best candidates are those who are starting to lose some facial volume due to aging or weight loss, people who have mild acne or chickenpox scars, or people who maintain a very lean body and therefore have an older-looking face. Fillers may not be the best option for individuals with deeply damaged or saggy skin, or very deep, ice-pick acne scars. For the best outcomes, look for a doctor who understands natural aspects of facial beauty and will deliver an individualized approach, rather than someone who follows a standard protocol. It’s all about developing a strategy or plan that will enhance your look.
>> jackie carr, N.P., LICENSED AESTHETICIAN,
OPHTHALMIC PLASTIC AND COSMETIC SURGERY INC. Most fillers aren’t permanent, but are considered long-lasting. Each person breaks down products at a different rate. Some individuals come in every six months, while others can have good results that last a year or more. Although tempting, permanent fillers may not be a good thing, especially if you don’t like the outcome! Swelling, redness and bruising are the most frequently encountered side effects. They typically resolve within 10 days after injection. A good filler, when placed properly, looks natural, has a good length of duration and can be reversed easily if it results in an undesirable outcome. Some fillers can be dissolved. For optimal results, it may be best to use a combination of fillers to address different needs.
Dr. L. Mike Nayak specializes in Botox, dermal fillers, and plastic surgery of the face. By combining surgical, nonsurgical, and laser techniques, Dr. Nayak can safely achieve dramatic yet natural facial rejuvenation in both men and women. And, because most procedures can be done without general anesthesia in our AAAHC-accredited office operating suite, risk and cost are reduced.

Chemical peels can treat a number of skin issues, including surface roughness, fine wrinkling, acne bumps, uneven coloration, some precancerous lesions, clogged pores, and dry or flaking skin, according to DR. JOE MUCCINI OF MIDAMERICA SKIN, HEALTH & VITALITY CENTER. “Compared to over-the-counter chemical peels, the peels in a doctor’s office are often more aggressive and can go much deeper,” Muccini says. “They can accomplish more.” Peels also can be use in conjunction with other treatments, like laser or light-based therapy, to achieve the optimal effect, he adds. “Prior to getting a chemical peel, it’s important to use sunscreen and avoid sun exposure,” he says. “Women also should avoid wearing makeup. Some of the more aggressive peels require a preparatory skin conditioning regimen.” The immediate effects and healing process will depend on the depth of the peel and the type of material used, Muccini notes. “Light peels may cause brightening, shininess, some flakiness and a little pinkness, but require no downtime,” he says. “Deeper peels cause shedding and peeling of the skin to different degrees.” Possible complications can include, but are not limited to, hyperpigmentation, scarring, exacerbation of cold sores and infections. “The risks are greater with more aggressive peels,” Muccini says. “To minimize risks, choose reputable, experienced doctors who can help avoid complications or manage them if they occur.”

stopping cancer’s spread
assessing alzheimer’s
A new procedure, HIPEC, at SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL may help patients whose cancers have spread through their abdomens. Previously, colorectal, mesothelioma and ovarian cancer patients had few treatment options. Now, using HIPEC, doctors remove all visible tumors, circulate heated chemotherapy to target cancer cells, and massage the abdomen for up to 90 minutes. This method is thought to increase tumor destruction, break down scar tissue and improve drug delivery timing.
Scanning brain networks may be an effective method for identifying early Alzheimer’s disease, researchers at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE published in Journal of the American Medical Associations Neurology. Previously, doctors looking for early signs of the disease checked spinal fluid for two chemical markers. fMRI scans for damage in the brain regions associated with memory proved equally effective and less invasive. DR. BEAU ANCES, associate professor of neurology and biomedical engineering, was the senior author.
a drinking–and–eating problem
viruses trigger copd
The proclivities for alcohol dependence and disordered eating may be genetically linked, according to scientists at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. Their findings, published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, draw from studies of nearly 6,000 adult twins in Australia that identified common genetic factors contributing to alcoholism and binging and purging habits. According to MELISSA A. MUNN-CHERNOFF, the study’s first author, this research could help alcohol and eating disorder therapists better diagnose and treat patients.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which inflames the lower airways and destroys lung tissue, is the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. A new WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation shows that viruses, not just smoke exposure, can trigger COPD. After exposure to viruses, the immune system may overreact and cause cells in the body’s airways to overproduce mucus, which impedes normal breathing. Monitoring the molecules that trigger this reaction may allow doctors to prevent COPD. DR. DEREK BYERS, assistant professor of medicine, was the study’s lead author.
triggering cancer treatment
alcohol and breast cancer
A SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY study identified a new treatment option for patients with melanoma brain metastases. Published in Chemotherapy Research and Practice, the findings suggest that large doses of interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) trigger the body’s immune system to destroy melanoma skin cancer cells that have spread to the brain. During treatment, patients receive the immune-system-stimulating medication via IV for six days in the hospital, and repeat the process three more times. Associate professor of internal medicine DR. JOHN RICHART was the study’s principal investigator, and Dr. Melinda Chu was the first author.
A new study from WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE links frequent adolescent alcohol consumption in women to breast cancer. Young women who average a drink a day between their first periods and first pregnancies show an increased risk of developing breast cancer, according to research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Daily drinking—or weekend binge drinking—also increases a woman’s risk of proliferative benign breast disease, which can lead to breast cancer. DR. YING LIU was the paper’s first author.
Ask the Expert
Question: I have pain and numbness in my right hand. My doctor feels my symptoms are likely due to carpal tunnel syndrome and has recommended evaluation by a surgeon. Is there a test that can determine the underlying cause of my symptoms?
Answer:
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common problem, characterized by numbness, pain and sometimes weakness in the hands. Conditions associated with carpal tunnel syndrome include obesity, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, arthritis, diabetes, and trauma. Tendon inflammation caused by repetitive work, such as typing or manual labor, is also associated. Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression of the median nerve as it traverses a narrow passageway at the wrist (known as the carpal tunnel) to reach the hand.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2013
However, not all patients with numbness in the hands have carpal tunnel syndrome. There are many other disorders that can create similar symptoms, including a pinched nerve in the neck, injury to the brachial plexus (a bundle of nerves in the shoulder area), compression of other nerves that go to the hand (particularly the ulnar nerve at the elbow), diseases affecting the spinal cord, and, occasionally, diseases affecting the brain. All of these possibilities should be considered before reaching a diagnosis, and often times a physical exam alone cannot differentiate between these conditions. In your situation, standard protocol involves an electrodiagnostic study – also known as nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG), a very sensitive tool used in detecting carpal tunnel syndrome and many of the other alternative diagnoses listed above. Data from the study can quantify the severity of the nerve damage and guide therapeutic recommendations. The results would also assure you and your physician of an accurate diagnosis. If the study does not indicate carpal tunnel syndrome, the information can be utilized by your doctor to guide investigations for alternative causes. A physician who is acquainted with peripheral nerve disease and is qualified in performing electrodiagnostic studies is able to differentiate disorders mimicking carpal tunnel syndrome. It is important that your electrodiagnostic study be conducted by a skilled physician, ideally board certified in neurology and electrodiagnostic medicine. Accurate interpretation is of the utmost importance given the implications of a misdiagnosis (e.g. unnecessary surgery, an alternative cause going untreated). The diagnosis will only be as precise as the information supplied by the person administering the test and interpreting the results.
WHAT IS ELASTIN INFUSION THERAPY? DARPA, a covert agency of the Dept. of Defense, commissioned a regenerative medicine study in 2006 designed to help soldiers who were wounded in Iraq. Dr. Burt Ensley, a microbiologist with 19 US patents, participated in this study. As an expert in plant biotechnology, Dr. Ensley discovered a new protein promoting faster healing for wounds with virtually no scarring. The proteins potential use as a cosmeceutical was confirmed in a study conducted by Steve Lamb, MD. The study revealed a 45% reduction on wrinkles over a 60-day period. Strotheide Face, Weight, and Body uses a protocol developed by Dr. Ensley (in corroboration with TBI) using a much higher level of potency that can obtain these same results in a 45-minute, in-office, non-invasive, painless treatment using microcurrent.
WHAT IS MICROCURRENT? Similar to a battery running down after long usage, cells in the body have been found to recover vitality when being “recharged” with an infinitesimally small, painless, controlled, electrical stimulation resulting in the toning of muscles and increased production of elastin and collagen. Strotheide Face, Weight, and Body uses exclusive protocols to infuse Dr. Ensley’s discovery using microcurrent that synthesizes the product into human elastin proteins.

THREE INDISPUTABLE FACTS have a dramatic impact on the body manifesting an overall aged appearance: 1. After turning 12 years old, the body no longer produces elastin, and existing levels of elastin deteriorate during the aging process. Medical science has deemed this deterioration process irreversible. RESULTS? Jowls, flaccid skin and a reduction of the body’s ability to retain collagen (hydration) 2. After puberty the body’s production of collagen falls off 1 to 2 percent per year and the effects are cumulative. Therefore, by the age of 45 to 50, the body could be producing about half as much collagen as it did at a younger age. RESULTS? Severe loss of hydration in the dermis level of the skin creating wrinkles, crow’s feet and the appearance of dull and aging skin. 3. Loss of muscle tone. No one is immune to the long term effects of gravity. RESULTS? Loss of body tone, “muffin” tops, stretch marks, flabby thighs, droopy buttocks, and “love handles”
[DESIGNER TREND REPORT MAKEUP by marylyn simpson | photo by charles barnes
LAST MONTH MARKED Marc Jacobs’ foray into the illustrious world of beauty. From eye-catching nail lacquer to an army of lip colors fit for the trendiest of makeup-lovers, Marc Jacobs Beauty is fast becoming one of the most talked-about designer makeup lines on the market. But Jacobs certainly isn’t the first or last designer to expand a clothing empire into beauty. Since Chanel introduced Chanel No. 5 nearly a century ago, high-end designers have been launching beauty lines with insurmountable success. Here’s a look at some of the most sought-after designer makeup brands and the history that has solidified them as leaders in today’s ever-evolving world of beauty.
[ damsel in dior ] >>DIORSKIN NUDE GLOW SKIN PERFECTING BEAUTY BALM >>DIORSHOW BUILDABLE VOLUME MASCARA
Long before Dior dominated the mascara market, Christian Dior was known for his matte lipsticks. With the release of his lipstick line in 1954, he soon parlayed his cosmetic success into an expanded makeup line that included nail colors and lip gloss. Now considered one of the most in-demand makeup lines in the world, it continues to lead the pack with cutting-edge anti-aging products. Dior was the first to use the anti-aging agent liposome. Be sure to check out Dior’s fall beauty collection. It does not disappoint with palettes of earth tone metallics. NEIMAN MARCUS, $25 AND $44
[ new kid on the block ] >>MARC JACOBS BEAUTY STYLE EYE-CON NO. 3 >>MARC JACOBS BEAUTY GENIUS GEL SUPER CHARGED FOUNDATION
It’s not just hype. Marc Jacobs Beauty continues Jacobs’ philosophy of mixing youth, confidence and experimentation to create a product that truly captures the designer’s essence. His Style Eye-Con No. 3 eye shadow contains a mash-up of neutral and bold tones that seamlessly take your look from day to night. His Genius Gel Super-Charged Foundation is unlike anything else on the market, thanks to its gel consistency and anti-aging properties. A foundation that doesn’t settle in fine lines? Genius! SEPHORA, $39 AND $48
[ the game changer ] >>TOM FORD NEROLI PORTOFINO
Tom Ford may be the coolest kid on the style block, but before the days of running his own fashion empire, Ford was the creative genius and savior of fashion houses Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. After breathing new life into the classic couturiers, Ford launched his own fashion and beauty line in 2006. His intoxicating brand of sexy-meets-luxury is evident in everything from highly coveted fragrances to must-have lipsticks. NEIMAN MARCUS, $290
[ classic coco ] >>CHANEL SUBLIMAGE MASQUE >>CHANEL QUADRA EYE SHADOW IN 43 MYSTERE
Coco Chanel launched her iconic Chanel No.5 perfume in 1921 and forever changed the beauty landscape. In less than a decade, she released her expanded makeup line, which retains its esteem in the beauty industry. Today, Chanel Beaute encompasses everything from trend-setting nail colors to Sublimage, one of the most sophisticated anti-aging lines on the market. And while Chanel’s beauty line has become a tour de force within the industry, her signature red lipstick continues to inspire a new generation of makeup-lovers. NEIMAN MARCUS, $190 AND $59
[ from couture to cat eyes ] >>YVES SAINT LAURENT TOUCHE ECLAT >>YVES SAINT LAURENT GLOSSY STAIN
In 1978, Yves Saint Laurent gave “a face to the woman he dresses,” and has been doing just that ever since. From La Laque Couture nail polish to gorgeous glosses, YSL Beauty has become synonymous with bright colors and signature gold packaging. This fall celebrates 20 years of the Touche Eclat concealer pen, a best-seller and beauty essential. NEIMAN MARCUS, $40 AND $34

WHAT’S YOUR FITNESS
ROUTINE?] [ JANE OVERTON by stephanie zeilenga
WARM UP I don’t stretch before I run. I start out slowly and, once my body is warm, I start picking up the pace. ROUTINE My weekly routine consists of weight training and classes at Lifetime Fitness, and outdoor running. At the gym I cross-train with weights twice a week and attend kickboxing class and cross-fit class once a week. I run 3 to 4 miles three days a week and complete a long run of about 7 miles twice a week, usually with my husband on Sundays. On my day off, which is usually Saturday, I still try to be active by going for a long walk with my dog or swimming and water skiing at Lake of the Ozarks. COOL DOWN I like to do a few yoga moves to stretch.

motivation for exercise, but so is guilt-free wine drinking. And it’s precisely weight, wine and the post-workout kick of endorphins that have been motivating Jane Overton of Chesterfield to commit to running for 35 years. “I feel relaxed after I run and then I can drink more red wine at the end of the day and not feel guilty,” she says. Since beginning to run as a college freshman at Central Missouri University to keep off those dreaded freshman 15, her dedication to the sport has never wavered. “I run five to six days a week,” she says. “I do a long run of about 7 miles with my husband on the weekends, and during the week I run on a trail in Lake Chesterfield for 3 to 5 miles, depending on how much time I have.” And there’s not much to keep Overton, who has never stepped foot on a treadmill, from fitting in a few miles almost every day. “The only
she says. “There can be a foot of snow and we go running.” Outside of her normal routine, Overton plays tennis three days a week at Woodsmill Racquet Club and has been doing so for two decades. “I’m probably the oldest-standing member in their club for women’s tennis,” she says. “I even played when I was pregnant with my daughter.” Rare for a longtime runner, Overton has never been injured. “Knock on wood, but I’ve never had any injuries or surgeries, and the key could be that every three months I buy new Asic gel running shoes,” she says. She also credits her long-lasting athleticism to staying hydrated. “As far as being healthy, I would say the key is to drink a ton of water,” she says. “I think water is the fountain of youth. Water and wine—it turns into wine at night!”

WHILE I’D CALL THIS attractive restaurant a modern American bistro, there are international touches, most notably, French, Mexican and Italian. The decor is a little bit fin de siècle, with Impressionist reproductions on the walls, red linens and ivory and red flock carpets. It is the tonier, Wildwood cousin to Cuisine d’Art in Creve Coeur, as both are owned by Beth Williams. Menu items reflect eclectic gastronomy from all over, with things like truffle oil frites, ricotta gnudi, fish tacos, tempura-fried green beans, hummus and chicken fried pork belly. An expansive and very attractive patio offers dining al fresco to the trickle of a nearby waterfall fountain and live music, if you go at the right time of year. A calamari starter ($12) was a plentiful bowlful of tender squid all fried up and dotted with chunks of banana pepper. The cornmeal crust was light and
flaky—very appealing. The ‘seasonal soup of the day,’ in our case, was cold yellow tomato curry with shrimp. A pureed soup, its strong curry flavor overshadowed the tomato, although some of the characteristic acid tones broke through. A topping of flaky coconut and generous chunks of shrimp made up for any disappointment over the tomatoes. The Halibut ($27), a divine fish anyway, received excellent treatment here, liberally browned in butter to yield an irresistible crust, top and bottom. It sat on a bed of uber-creamy risotto with asparagus spears, saffron beurre blanc and some tangy smoked grape tomatoes— an excellent blend of creamy and tart, nutty and smooth. A flatbread of Mediterranean Fig ($14) was similarly satisfying, especially the well-browned, cracker-thin crust. The topping was on the sweet side, as you’d

expect from figs, its pearl onions and drizzle of balsamic adding more sugar. Tempering the sweet were bits of pancetta, asiago, spinach and goat cheese. The Shrimp & Scallops ($28), an angel hair pasta dish with a delicious wild mushroom-truffle oil sauce, oven-roasted tomatoes and bits of spinach, was good. It had very nicely done (and large) crustaceans and a creamy sauce. A shared side of Spinach & Kale ($6) was outstanding, crisp and laden with oil in the best possible way (that’s why you have to share it). The desserts are beautiful, things like chocolate mousse cake, chess pie and my pick, pink peppercorn panna cotta ($7). Possibly the richest I’ve eaten, it had the faintest hint of pepper and came with a lemony tuile on top and pistachio-mint puree on the side. Excellent all around.

[APRONOMICS KYLE MATHIS TASTE
PHOTO LEISURE ALBUM
by rebecca koenig | photos by bill barrett AMERICAN HISTORY PLAYS OUT across the pages of the Taste cocktail menu, which lists drinks by their years of birth. A sip of Mint Julep evokes the optimism of the frontier, circa 1790. A Sidecar tastes like Roaring Twenties freedom. A pink Cosmopolitan screams outrageous ’80s. “Our predecessors created all these wonderful classic cocktails that work every single time you make them,” says Taste bar manager Kyle Mathis. “If you use those and build outward, you can come up with a balanced cocktail every single time.” Balance is essential for Mathis, both behind the bar and behind the scenes. It’s his job to keep glasses full, staff members happy and the 200-bottle inventory stocked. Most important, he dreams up the drinks. Taste serves more than 30 classic cocktails and two dozen original concoctions with names like ‘What a Cousin Wants,’ ‘Curious Flowers’ and ‘Summertime Clothes.’ No matter which flavors Mathis adds to his potions, he says, “Balance is the No. 1 important thing.” That philosophy earned him one of 52 spots in the United States Bartenders’ Guild Most Imaginative Bartender Cocktail Competition, Sept. 8 in Los Vegas. Fine dining found Mathis during his senior year at Saint Louis University. “I was looking for a little extra money, and one of my buddies worked at a restaurant in town and they needed a busser,” he says. “It happened to be at Niche. I took the job and six months later I found myself falling in love with food, hospitality and eventually wine.” By the time he graduated, he had worked his way up to become a server. “I completely changed my direction and forgot about my finance degree,” he says. After two years at Niche, Mathis moved to California to work in wine production. Returning to his hometown in February 2011, he got a job at Taste,
learning from noted mixologist Ted Kilgore. “The best way to learn is through an apprenticeship,” Mathis says. “Ted Kilgore is the man in St. Louis, and in the Midwest. Ted’s gotta be the best guy to learn from. I ended up falling in love with cocktails.” Entering the cocktail contest circuit was the natural next step. At his mentor’s urging, Mathis participated in the 2013 Riverfront Times Iron Fork mixology competition—and won. “I sort of caught the bug,” he says. “I threw recipes in every competition I could get my hands on. I made it to national finals in the Beefeater 24 U.S. Bartender Guild [contest].” Mathis entered the Most Imaginative competition at the local level in July with a recipe he calls Pattu Punch. Judges named it the most creative cocktail, so Mathis advanced to the national contest as the St. Louis representative. The event, sponsored by Bombay Sapphire gin and GQ Magazine, pitted him against 51 other regional winners. “Since Bombay is an imagination-based competition, they let us do whatever we wanted,” he reports. “Makes for really, really interesting drinks.” Although he craves the rush of competition, Mathis is just as happy to be back at Taste serving customers. “I absolutely love being behind the bar and taking care of people,” he says. Especially those adventurous ones who ask for his recommendations. “‘I’ll put myself in your hands,’ they say. ‘Make sure it’s not too sweet.’” His own drink of choice reflects that desire for balance. “A Negroni without a doubt is my favorite cocktail,” Mathis says. “Bittersweet, bright and dark at the same time.”

The Spectacular Now joins the canon of melancholy high school movie classics. Fun-loving senior Sutter Keeley (Miles Teller) has a goofball reputation he’s proud of, a college application he needs to finish and a beautiful ex-girlfriend he wants to win back. A night of hard partying lands him on the front lawn of Aimee Finicky (Shailene Woodley), a shy classmate whose listening skills (and geometry homework help) intrigue him. As their romance evolves, they embolden each other to confront their dysfunctional families. But Aimee’s admiration can’t fill Sutter’s emptiness—or beat his drinking problem. The film’s ambiguity may leave you aching, but it will stick with you and you’ll be glad you saw it. SHOULD YOU SEE IT? It’s funny, sweet, sad and well-acted; don’t miss this one. —R.K.

in Ladue features five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, but its grand size is far from its most outstanding feature. “It has everything you could want and more,” says homeowner Steve Fischer, an entrepreneur and owner of BriteStar, a home health company. “It’s like being on vacation every day,” he says of the home he occupied for four years. Although Fischer recollects spending many an afternoon grilling out by the pool, he says the kitchen is a “cook’s paradise.” It includes a wood-beamed ceiling, six-burner Viking gas stove, two dishwashers, two built-in microwaves and a warming drawer. “There’s also a butler’s pantry with a dishwasher for wine glasses and glassware. But it’s functional and not overkill,” he says. Just off the kitchen and great room is a wine cellar that could accommodate even the most enthusiastic collector. “It holds 1,000 bottles and is right on the main floor, which is rare because most wine cellars are in the basement,” Fischer notes. “It was great for hosting wine events and parties, which we occasionally did.” As for relaxation time, Fischer says his family spent many hours in a high-tech room where they watched games, television and movies on the big screen. And when Fischer says ‘big,’ he means it. “We have a media room with tiered, leather seating and a 120-inch television,” he says. “You go in and dim the lights, the TV turns on and at the end of the movie, the lights come back on.” Although the home is roomy, it always felt personal, says Fischer. “It’s a large house but doesn’t feel overly large,” he explains. “It is elegance that is comfy, and normally those two attributes don’t mix.” With 1.84 acres, Fischer says they had plenty of room to create an outdoor playground, as well. The PHOTOS BY STEVEN B. SMITH professionally landscaped grounds feature a 20-by-40-foot pool, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor TV and a pool house. “The pool is spectacular,” Fischer says. “It’s like a resort out there. The outdoor entertainment area has all hidden speakers and I had a system put in with a bass that’s buried in the yard.” Not surprising, Fischer, who is moving on to a smaller home in the central corridor, says he will miss 26 Clermont Lane. “This is about as good as it gets but I’m looking for something a little more manageable,” he says. “My life has changed since I moved into the home on Clermont. I’ve got wonderful kids, and it’s our time together that really makes a house special.”

TOWN& NEIGHBORHOOD LADUE | THE DESLOGES by stephanie zeilenga LADUE HAS BEEN THE BACKDROP for the Desloge family’s story from the beginning. It was where Ali and her husband David grew up as friends, and where they fell in love as adults after a chance reconnection at Busch’s Grove, the iconic, now-closed Ladue restaurant. And the story doesn’t end there: The couple is currently raising their own family in the same little corner of St. Louis they’ve always called home. Q. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STAY IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE YOU WERE RAISED? A. Our relationship blossomed in Ladue. We were probably at each others’ houses every weekend growing up.
My husband was very close to my parents and would come over for dinner and a swim. And it was the same for me with his parents. It’s a wonderful place to live and I’m happy to be in St. Louis and have our kids grow up the same way I grew up. We wanted to stay in a place where we feel comfortable and happy raising our own family.
Q. WHAT MAKES LADUE STAND OUT IN ST. LOUIS? A. The classic architecture, the big yards and the landscaping really set Ladue apart. I also think it has a great
community feel. My husband and I grew up going to St. Louis Country Club and we love that our kids can experience the same swimming, tennis and golf that we did as kids.
Q. WHY DOES THE AREA WORK SO WELL FOR YOUR FAMILY? A. It’s got a fantastic school district. Our two oldest children go to Conway. We also like being able to walk
the kids to school and having a lot of other families around. It’s a very safe neighborhood and I love that I don’t have to worry when my kids ride their bikes around the neighborhood or to a friend’s house.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHY? A. My husband is a teacher at Burroughs, so it is very close to his work. We also love the shopping, particularly
Ladue Market or any of the cute little boutiques. We love that the area is close to Clayton and we’re a stone’s throw away from the highway, so it’s easy to get downtown to catch a game.
ALI AND DAVEY DESLOGE WITH FINLAY, TUCKER AND COOPER
[ family faves ] BEST RESTAURANTS>> If we’re in the mood for a sports bar, we love Sportsman’s Park and Lester’s. We also love Truffles, which has fantastic live music and cocktails. BEST HANGOUT SPOTS>> We do a lot with friends around the neighborhood, including cookouts in the backyard and having kids over to swim. BEST DATE SPOT>> We like to go to BrickTop’s or Fleming’s, which has a great little bar menu so you can catch something quick and then run to a movie. BEST SHOPPING>> The Woman’s Exchange, Cha and Alixandra Collections are all great boutiques. And there’s Imagination Toys for the kids.

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,
My mom says you can give me some advice on a house I will soon move into. The landscaping needs a complete overhaul but I don’t know where to start. Please let me know your thoughts. ———MOTHER KNOWS BEST
DEAR MOTHER KNOWS BEST,
AFTER
BEFORE
A quick analysis of this property reveals a chunky brick house atop an abrupt and (no doubt) hard-to-maintain hill. The landscaping is doing it no favors, either, looking haphazard and unappealing. I suggest some diversion tactics. The bottom half of the brick front wall needs to be hidden with a tall evergreen hedge. This improves the proportions of the façade and focuses attention on the more interesting porch. In front of this, I would layer day lilies and lariope grass to add texture, interest, color and charm. In other words, take the eye off the architecture and put it on the landscaping. In a similar vein, I would accentuate the porch with two long, custom-built planter boxes filled with red geraniums and sweet potato vines that will cascade down the bland wall. I also suggest covering the hill with ivy and shaping the trees a bit. To me, the house now has a more inviting and cared-for look. The architecture here will never be noteworthy, but the landscape could be. I hope you and your mom like the suggestions. Good Luck. ———HOMEWORK HOMEWORK IS PENNED BY PAUL DOERNER, PRESIDENT, THE LAWRENCE GROUP. IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR HOME CRITIQUED, CONTACT US AT HOMEWORK@TOWNANDSTYLE.COM

dream it.
With the bounty of late-summer herbs hopefully still flourishing in your garden, you may find yourself at a loss for what to do with them all. Well, using herbs in floral arrangements can offer an unexpected, creative take on a classic arrangement. BASIL
BASIL
DILL
DAHLIAS AND MINT
Most gardeners keep basil pinched back so the leaves stay flavorful. However, if you let your basil mature, you’ll discover its spiky blooms add an interesting texture to an arrangement. Create an arrangement with leaves from both sweet basil and purple basil for a real ‘wow’ factor. The glossy green of sweet basil leaves provides a nice backdrop for the coppery glow of the purple-bronze leaves of purple basil. Dill, with its blue-green foliage atop tall, slender stalks, makes a colorful yet subtle backdrop to show off other herbs and flowers. The feathery leaves and lacy flowers add a light, airy feel to arrangements. Floral designers frequently choose dill, with its chartreuse flowers, to replace baby’s breath as filler in bouquets.
LAVENDER
Lavender, most commonly known for its calming quality, is one of my favorite herbs. A few sprigs in a vase on the nightstand will have you drifting off to sleep in no time.
SPANISH LAVENDER
MINT

The bright green of mint leaves is a nice complement to roses or other colorful blooms like dahlias. Some fresh sprigs around the house also offer a nice way to perfume the air.
PINEAPPLE SAGE
CHOCOLATE MINT
Fill your house with the leaves and blooms of pineapple sage for an instant trip to the tropics. Fragrant, pineapple-scented leaves perfume the summer air, then burst onto the scene with vibrant, scarlet-red blooms. The leaves and blooms certainly stand on their own in an arrangement, or you can pair the red flowers against a backdrop of purple flowers for a bold statement.
ROSEMARY
Rosemary sprigs create a subtle backdrop to complement showier flowers, like roses. Rosemary produces beautiful flowers in white or shades of blue that make a nice arrangement on their own. Place fresh sprigs in rooms where you need to be alert: the clean, alpine scent invigorates the mind and senses.
