What is the definition of style? I believe it is acquiring and selecting the finest life has<br />
to offer – be it in the way you dress, what you buy, what you read, how you eat or<br />
how you act. In this issue, as always, we bring you the best of Christchurch’s style.<br />
On page 20 we profile Ben Foster, a figurative and abstract sculptor. His works<br />
are instantly recognisable, all created in his studio on the Kaikoura coast and now<br />
sought-after on an international level.<br />
On page 12, I had the pleasure to interview Phil Stanton, co-founder of <strong>The</strong> Blue<br />
Man group. HIs passion and vision has created a world phenomenon that entertains<br />
and astonishes audiences worldwide.<br />
We have a sneak peek at a new home that is one of the finalists for this year’s<br />
Master Builders House of <strong>The</strong> Year and get some inside information from judge<br />
Faye Pearson-Green. It’s time to dream a little with our luxurious bedroom edit<br />
in our interiors section, where you’ll find the secrets to enjoying a peaceful night’s<br />
sleep, with tips on how to feng shui your bedroom.<br />
With the ball season fast approaching, we have some stunning gowns in our<br />
fashion section. Scorching red, sparkling sequins and luxurious furs are set to make a<br />
statement this season.<br />

On your marks, get set, and go! <strong>The</strong> Christchurch Airport<br />
Marathon is on the 5th of <strong>June</strong>. Inspired by the 1974<br />
Commonwealth Games marathon, it is known as one of the<br />
fastest courses in the world. This year, the route will take<br />
runners from the start line in Cathedral Square, around<br />
Hagley Park, before heading east along the Avon River, and<br />
finally returning back to the city-centre finish line. If you<br />
need an incentive to get running, all adult entrants go in the<br />
draw to win a tip to Paris.<br />
Candy &<br />
Cuba<br />
Designer Fiona Jackson<br />
has launched a new range<br />
known as Cuba & Candy, now<br />
available at Quinns. Living<br />
in Dubai, Fiona’s collection<br />
is inspired by the vibrant<br />
colours of the Arabian Gulf,<br />
and seamlessly blends classic,<br />
tailored sophistication with<br />
the pulse and excitement of<br />
the Middle East. <strong>The</strong> 21-piece<br />
range is full of exquisite<br />
fabrics and bright colours. We<br />
love this Gucci-inspired dress.<br />
<strong>The</strong> STolen<br />
Kiwi film producer Emily Corcoran has started production on a new film, <strong>The</strong> Stolen. Set in<br />
New Zealand’s South Island during the gold rush years of the 1860s, the narrative follows<br />
the story of a woman who must find her kidnapped son. Filming has started at Ferrymead<br />
Heritage Park, with an international cast that includes Alice Eve, recently in <strong>Star</strong> Trek: Into<br />
Darkness and Jack Davenport, known for his roles in Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Rocky<br />
Horror Picture Show creator, Richard O’Brien will also play a part in the film. We can expect<br />
to see <strong>The</strong> Stolen in cinemas in November this year.<br />

KurioSa<br />
Located just before Prebbleton, at 430 Springs Road, is a destination for antique lovers. After seven years of operating <strong>The</strong> White Cat<br />
Emporium in Cheviot, Graham Weaver and partner Lal decided to retire, but, wanting to keep the business in the family, they passed the<br />
reins to son Ezra, who had always had a passion for antiquity. Ezra Weaver and his partner Sacha Coogan have recreated <strong>The</strong> White Cat<br />
Emporium as Kuriosa in Prebbleton. It represents the couple’s vision of having a taste of Europe on offer just outside the city. <strong>The</strong> beautiful<br />
surroundings certainly make you feel like you’re standing in a rural paddock in Lyon, France. <strong>The</strong> store stocks high-end, one-of-a-kind, handsourced<br />
antiques from Italy, France and various markets across Europe.<br />
KÃKano Café<br />

SChool<br />
<strong>The</strong> first of its kind in the South<br />
Island, this new business focuses<br />
on sustainable and ethically<br />
grown produce. Its aim is to bring<br />
healthy and nutritious food to<br />
Christchurch through cooking<br />
classes, a café, and events. In time<br />
the team will offer salads and coldpressed<br />
juices delivered to<br />

ChurraSCo<br />
Located at 505 Papanui Road, there is no<br />
ordering or waiting at Churrasco. Meals<br />
are served in “Rodizo style”, which means a<br />
variety of dishes are served continuously to<br />
your table. “Churrasco” refers to barbecue art<br />
from Brazil, where meat is traditionally placed<br />
on skewers and grilled on an open-flame<br />
charcoal rotisserie.<br />

Five<br />
Minutes<br />
With Phil Stanton<br />
Phil Stanton is co-founder of the Blue Man Group and a<br />
Grammy-nominated musician, composer, writer and performer.<br />
Speaking with Victoria Tait he talks about how the Blue Man concept<br />
has evolved over the years and what we can expect to see at their firstever<br />
Christchurch performance. <strong>The</strong> Blue Man Group will be<br />
performing at Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal form the 21st <strong>June</strong>-3rd July.<br />
You started the Blue Man Group back in<br />
1988. How would you say the show has<br />
developed and changed since then?<br />
Well, it has always been an experiment,<br />
or an exploration of the things that<br />
made us feel truly human, the things that<br />
excited us – art, science, and human<br />
connection. I would say that the goal of<br />
the show hasn’t changed – the goal has<br />
always been to bring a group of strangers<br />
together for a moment of collective<br />
euphoria. But the specific things we<br />
explore over the course of the show are<br />
different, because of course, the world is<br />
different, technology has evolved.<br />
For those who don’t know, can<br />
you briefly explain what sort of<br />
entertainment we can expect to see<br />
from the Blue Man Group?<br />
I think that you can expect to experience<br />
a very visceral type of entertainment. We<br />
really hope to make you feel things, to<br />
feel perhaps a little stirring inside yourself,<br />
a reminder of how you used to feel as a<br />
child. Maybe a refresher on how to see<br />
the world with a sense of wonder again.<br />

Style | interview 13<br />
What does the blue face paint represent?<br />
We didn’t really overanalyse in the beginning. We knew we wanted<br />
an image that would be arresting, that might cut through the visual<br />
noise. As we walked down the streets of New York, we wondered<br />
what would cause people to stop and look, to break out of their<br />
own thoughts for a moment and reconnect, interact with the world<br />
around them, and the image of this bald and blue character came<br />
to mind.<br />
Why don’t the Blue Men speak?<br />
Funny thing, the Blue Men seem to say much more without<br />
speaking than they do with words.<br />
Do you know how many Blue Men there are worldwide? And,<br />
also, what do you need to become a Blue Man?<br />
We probably have about 50 active Blue Men in the world at any<br />
given time. Our casting team typically sees about 1000 people in<br />
order to find just seven. It takes a very unique skill set to be a Blue<br />
Man. <strong>The</strong>re needs to be a visual uniformity to the Blue Men, so<br />
you have to be between 5'10" and 6'2", you need to be a skilled<br />
drummer, and acting training is definitely an asset.<br />
What’s the biggest misconception about the group?<br />
Great question. I think that most people don’t know how often<br />
we are working on new content and updating the show with new<br />
material. We always want to keep the show fresh and relevant,<br />
responding to the world around us.<br />
In your other shows you supply raincoats for some audience<br />
members? Can you tell us why? And will this be something we<br />
will see in Christchurch?<br />
Well, they protect clothing from any stray paint that might find its<br />
way off the stage, but even better – they add a bit of excitement<br />
and anticipation. You just never know what might happen.

SHOGA Gala Dinner at ilex Botanic Gardens<br />
<strong>The</strong> cold rain mellowed into a steady drizzle, anointing the mid-city woodland of Hagley<br />
Park as darkness fell. Through the soft cloak of night, the sound of footsteps echoed<br />
as a procession of guests made their way to ilex. <strong>The</strong> function centre in the Botanic<br />
Gardens was trimmed for a banquet, as elegantly as the attendees were dressed for the<br />
evening. <strong>The</strong> Selwyn House Old Girls' Association (SHOGA) had staged the inaugural<br />
gala dinner as an opportunity to celebrate the past, maintain the present and look to<br />
the future of Selwyn House School.<br />

Candy & Cuba Fashion Show<br />
at Quinns of Merivale<br />
Sugarplums and divinely delicious garments were on the menu<br />
at Quinns of Merivale when Fiona Jackson brought her exotic<br />
collection to town. Glamorous, yes, but classy to the maximum,<br />
the fashion feast both teased and appeased the appetites of eyes<br />
and sweet teeth alike. Jars of sinfully toothsome confectionery,<br />
vied for attention with the heavenly creations modelled expertly<br />
on the boutique floor. Each morsel, made either of fondant<br />
or fabric, made one crave for more and fuelled the desire for<br />
excellence in garments and chocolate. <strong>The</strong> dream of wonder<br />
ended all too soon as the last high heel clicked off the catwalk,<br />
but there was a lot of candy to polish off before evening’s end!<br />

GRACI Foundation Fundraiser<br />
<strong>The</strong> crystalline sweep of the Christchurch Art Gallery was<br />
lit up like a belt of diamonds, welcoming guests to the fun<br />
within. <strong>The</strong> array of fine food and French Champagne, which<br />
flavoured the evening with edible opulence, gilded the more<br />
serious agenda of the party. <strong>The</strong> GRACI Foundation, which is<br />
another name for the Gynaecological Cancer Research Trust,<br />
organised the event to raise much-needed funds to combat<br />
the many manifestations of this disease. Silent and live<br />
auctions – the latter loud with enthusiastic bidding – took<br />
place causing money to flow in to support the cause. Added<br />
to that, a jolly good time was had by all.<br />

Ben<br />
Foster<br />
the Balance oF<br />
Form and motion<br />
Ben Foster creates life-sized animal sculptures out of<br />
enamel-coated aluminium. He speaks with Victoria Tait<br />
about his career, passions and international clients.<br />
Ben Foster comes across as one of those rare<br />
characters content and at peace with his life, and<br />
hugely passionate about his career. Given this, it is not<br />
surprising Ben’s works of art can now be found all over<br />
the world, including Brazil, london, dubai, singapore<br />
and australia. he recently took a commission in the<br />
French riviera, creating two dogs to sit on the side of<br />
an infinity pool overlooking the mountains.<br />
From a young age, Ben was enthusiastic about art and<br />
was fortunate enough to have his mother and father<br />
encourage him. at the age of 16, he left high school in<br />
hawke’s Bay to pursue his love at art school. “my tutor<br />
took me aside and said although he could see art was<br />
my true passion he felt I would benefit from gaining<br />
some life experience,” Ben recounts. he soon put his<br />
tuition on hold and instead took up a furniture-making<br />
apprenticeship, which later led to boat building.<br />
in his early twenties he moved to christchurch and<br />
was involved in fitting out the interior of a 60ft yacht.<br />
a fondness for sailing and the sea then encouraged<br />
him to accept the challenge of sailing from nelson to<br />
new caledonia with three friends on a 38ft yacht.<br />
the plan was for it to take seven days, but, due to<br />
some unpredictable weather conditions, it took three<br />
weeks. This affinity with the ocean and natural world<br />
has inspired Ben’s work, with the physical landscape so<br />
present in his designs.<br />
at the age of 26, Ben’s life took a turn for the better,<br />
as he met his now-wife liana. Understanding art was his<br />
first love and vocation, Liana prompted Ben to return<br />
to study, which saw him graduate from christchurch<br />
Polytechnic institute of technology (today’s ara<br />
institute of canterbury), before the pair set their sights<br />
on travelling europe.<br />
While overseas, Ben saw first-hand that “sculpting<br />
could be a viable option for a career”. With the<br />
influences of the European art world behind him and<br />
a new worldly perspective on life, Ben and his wife<br />
returned to new Zealand focused on making art his<br />
career first and foremost.<br />
the couple intended on settling in a main city,<br />
but instead fell in love with the Kaikoura coast – a<br />
place that speaks to Ben’s artistic side. “my work is<br />
largely a response to the natural environment. For<br />
example, Golden Boy is the trusty labrador, who is a<br />
work companion and man’s best friend, Shadow (shark
sculpture) is a misunderstood creature that plays a large role<br />
in my everyday life, as i’m a surfer.<br />
“i like to see the humour and light harnessed when<br />
people view my work – it’s that instant recognition.”<br />
Ben tells Style he recently he had an email from a woman<br />
who has a tattoo of Golden Boy, and another person who<br />
has a large image of it covering their livingroom wall.<br />
“as an artist it’s great to see what your work means to<br />
people and how they interpret it.”<br />
So, how did Ben find his place in this animal world?<br />
it all started with an exhibition he was involved in at the<br />
Auckland Art Gallery where the topic was to find your<br />
sense of self, and for this Ben chose a seal.<br />
“i’ve always loved the seal, and living in Kaikoura and<br />
surfing, they play a large role in my everyday life. <strong>The</strong> piece<br />
sold straight away and that was the beginning of it all.”<br />
Although Ben’s figurative animal sculptors have gained a<br />
huge international following he also sculpts abstract works.<br />
“i like to go back and forth between the two pieces. my<br />
abstract works are also very linked to my environment<br />
exploring the erosion, sand, wind, and the surf.”<br />
What’s next on the cards for Ben Foster? This year,<br />
he has already sold Speedy, the greyhound, to a couple he<br />
met at dinner in london. he is working on a commission<br />
from dubai for a falcon and the next project he’s thinking<br />
of is a deer – “Just the simple form of the doe, peeled<br />
back”. he will be holding another solo show in auckland<br />
this november and, possibly – hopefully – something in<br />
christchurch in the near future.<br />

LYNETTE MCFADDEN<br />
BUSINESS OWNER, HARCOURTS GOLD GOLD<br />
AND AND WELL WELL KNOWN BUSINESSWOMAN<br />
CONFERENCES<br />
Should I I go or<br />
should I I stay?<br />
I have I just just returned from a a conference.<br />
It It was industry-related (no (no surprise),<br />
company-affiliated, and the the 20th<br />
annual event that I have I attended in in<br />
my my tenure as as a a business owner. It It would<br />
be be fair fair to to say say that over the the years I’ve I’ve<br />
developed both a a healthy appreciation<br />
of of what it it must take to to host such large<br />
events and a a love-hate relationship for for<br />
how they unfold.<br />
On On the the love side of of the the ledger is is<br />
the the chance to to learn new ideas and<br />
methods, and revisit others that, whilst<br />
not not so so new, remain highly relevant.<br />
I also I also love love the the chance to to reconnect and and<br />
network with friends I’ve I’ve made during the the<br />
years through periods of of both struggle<br />
and and triumph. And And I particularly I love love the the<br />
opportunity to to measure and and benchmark<br />
our our company’s considerable efforts against<br />
peers from around New Zealand and and other<br />
countries throughout the the world where this this<br />
brand now operates. This This includes Australia,<br />
South Africa, America, Canada, parts of of the the<br />
Pacific, and and Asia.<br />
It’s It’s a melting a pot pot of of activity and and effort, and and<br />
my my strong sense of of competition is is always<br />
in in overdrive when awards are are given out out<br />
based on on performance. What I’m I’m not not so so<br />
enamoured by by are are some of of the the speakers<br />
I’ve I’ve been exposed to, to, whose topics and and<br />
presentation skills needed more work and and<br />
effort. I’ve I’ve listened to to rhetoric that that was was either<br />
out-of-date or or so so futuristic and and doomsdayish<br />
that that some members of of the the audience<br />
wondered if they if had had chosen the the right<br />
profession. I’ve I’ve taken part part in in more breakouout<br />
sessions than I can I can remember and and I’ve I’ve<br />
ish<br />
snoozed my my way way through presentations<br />
that that should never have progressed past past the the<br />
‘thought bubble’ stage. When that that did did occur<br />
I’d I’d either quietly take take my my leave or, or, as as captive,<br />
bored audiences around the the world do, do, I’d I’d<br />
switch my my attention to to my my cell cell phone.<br />
I now I think the the essence of of a great a conference includes the the following<br />
three things:<br />
1. 1. Inspiration – – all all of of us us need to to be be inspired;<br />
it it could be be as as simple and and as as uplifting as as a a<br />
song. I once I heard Dave Dobbyn sing sing our our<br />
national anthem at at the the start of of one one of of the the<br />
20 20 conferences I’ve I’ve been recounting. It It was was<br />
moving, deeply emotional and and followed up up<br />
by by Loyal. In In that that small moment he he and and the the<br />
conference organisers had had the the attendees<br />
in in the the palms of of their hands. We We were<br />
inspired, engaged, and and ready and and waiting for for<br />
whatever the the next two two days held. I’ve I’ve had had<br />
my my life life changed by by inspirational speakers,<br />
some of of whom were world-renowned<br />
and and others more like like the the man next door.<br />
Personally I’m I’m very very partial to to the the ‘rags to to<br />
riches’ story and and the the working class kid kid who<br />
goes on on to to great success. Gets me me every<br />
time, which is is no no surprise.<br />
2. 2. Connection – – to to the the audience; their<br />
needs and and how they can can benefit. Sometimes<br />
speakers are are so so unrelated that that audiences<br />
struggle to to get get any any value. <strong>The</strong> <strong>The</strong> cross-over<br />
interest points that that conference organisers<br />
had had hoped for for just just get get lost lost in in the the confusion<br />
of of divergent topics and and lofty audio visuals.<br />
3. 3. Fun Fun – – every conference needs some<br />
fun fun and and a chance a for for celebration. Evening<br />
functions are are usually very very expensive and and<br />
organisers need to to be be appreciative of of this, this,<br />
paying attention to to both the the big big ticket and and<br />
small detail items.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re you you have it: it: 20 20 years of of attendance<br />
boils down to to three items, but but those are are the the<br />
biggies for for me me – – as as are are the the awards we we have<br />
just just received. <strong>The</strong> <strong>The</strong> biggest of of which is is that that<br />
our our flagship office, Papanui, is is the the Number 1 1<br />
office for for Harcourts out out of of 800 800 other offices<br />
around the the world. I’d I’d go go to to any any conference<br />
and and travel anywhere in in the the world to to accept<br />
that that accolade!<br />

House of the Year competition.<br />
PhotograPhy cHaRlie jackson<br />
More than 330 homes will be assessed for this<br />
year’s registered Master Builders house of the<br />
year, with judges travelling around new Zealand<br />
to make their assessments at the time of writing<br />
and winners set to be announced later, in July<br />
and august. a team of industry experts is tasked<br />
with finding the best builds in the country, looking<br />
for top quality in new homes, show homes,<br />
renovations and the homes of builders. Style has<br />
been allowed a sneak peak inside one home,<br />
but must keep mum on certain aspects, until the<br />
winners are revealed.<br />
What we can tell you is that this house is a<br />
finalist in Gold & Category Award Carters New<br />
home $1 million-$2 million build. it’s located in<br />
Marshlands and built by Metzger Builders, who<br />
have won a gold award five years in a row at<br />
house of the year. last year, Metzger Builders<br />
was awarded the Supreme award and canterbury<br />
registered Master Builders 2015 house of the<br />
Year; Gold & Category Award Carters New<br />
home $1 million-$2 million; and Plumbing<br />
World Bathroom excellence award, for a build<br />
in clearwater.

i have been a designer in the<br />
industry for over 30 years. in<br />
christchurch i have worked for<br />
some very talented architects before<br />
becoming my own boss for the last<br />
20 years. i have worked across the<br />
spectrum of design over the years,<br />
from new homes, alterations great<br />
and small, with a bit of commercial<br />
work, such as restaurants. in 2014,<br />
i was asked to put my name forward<br />
for consideration to become a judge.<br />
like all the judges, we go through<br />
an intensive training process, and<br />
after this i was lucky enough to be<br />
selected.<br />

lalique<br />
René-Jules Lalique founded Lalique more than a century<br />
ago, in 1888. Initially a jewellery designer, he thrived as a<br />
freelancer during the art nouveau movement in Paris. He<br />
opened his first store in 1885, on Place Gaillon, and, by<br />
1890, had expanded to three more shops in Paris. It was<br />
then he started the transition from jewellery to enamel<br />
and glass. After his death in 1945, the company was<br />
passed down to his son Marc, who was to bring Lalique<br />
into the age of crystal, while the fragrance business was<br />
developed later, by his daughter Marie-Claude Lalique.<br />
In 2008, the business was sold to Swiss-owned company<br />
Art and Fragrance, under the management of Silvio Denz.<br />
Through these changes the brand has endured the test of<br />
time and become the ultimate symbol of French luxury.<br />
Our lux pick for this month is the Tourbillons Grand Vase.<br />

How to Feng SHui<br />
Your Bedroom<br />
Are you having trouble sleeping? With a few small<br />
changes to your bedroom layout you’ll find the<br />
bedroom can become a peaceful, sleep-inducing<br />
atmosphere.<br />
Bed placement. This is crucial, as it reflects your wealth, health,<br />
and love life. Your bed should be placed at the furthest point<br />
of the room, facing the door but not in line with it. it should<br />
also be a good height to allow energy to pass under.<br />
Choose earth tones. By using a neutral colour palette you<br />
will welcome a peaceful atmosphere. Feng-shui specialists<br />
recommend warm earth and skin tones, such as cream, peach<br />
and tan, as well as light blue and grey. Avoid bright colours,<br />
such as red and orange.<br />
Create balance and symmetry. use identical bedside tables<br />
and lamps to create symmetry and balance.<br />
Remove any technology. televisions, computers, and phones<br />
give off a lot of energy. the bedroom should be a place of rest<br />
and contemplation, without the distraction of the stresses of<br />
the day.<br />
Be careful with mirror placement. mirrors are usually bad<br />
feng shui as they bounce energy, which can, in turn, keep you<br />
awake and restless. if you must have a mirror in the bedroom,<br />
think about placing it behind closed doors.<br />

State-ofthe-art<br />
heating<br />
fireplaces are a key architectural design element to the home<br />
and, more than often, the focal point of the room. gone are the<br />
decorative mantels and in their place are bold design statements<br />
with angular corners and modern shapes. if you are looking for<br />
a fireplace for the living room, office, bedroom or outdoor area,<br />
remember you are not only look for a heat source, but the<br />
statement to the room. We’ve put together a selection of the<br />
most state-of-the-art fireplace designs currently available.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Inset Fireplace<br />
this creates a clean, modern look to any room, while<br />
allowing you to add your own individual style on the<br />
hearth and surrounding wall. a large brick effect, as<br />
shown here, can create a strong focal point.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Corner Fireplace<br />
Corner fireplaces add an interesting dimension<br />
to a room. these are best suited to small homes,<br />
where there is no space for a regular fireplace.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hanging<br />
Fireplace<br />
these sculptural pieces are as<br />
much an investment in art as<br />
they are a solution to warmth<br />
during the winter months. if<br />
your house doesn’t have a<br />
fireplace, this is super-stylish<br />
heating option.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Freestanding<br />
Fireplace<br />
<strong>The</strong> freestanding fireplace has<br />
taken a futuristic turn. if it’s a<br />
statement you are looking for, an<br />
ethanol fireplace makes a feature<br />
of any space – indoor or out.

Winter FroST<br />
And PlAnTS<br />
Landscape architect Craig Wilson offers advice on how to<br />
prepare your garden for Canterbury’s hard winter frost.<br />
Good landscape design is always<br />
a considered response to the<br />
requirements of a design brief. When<br />
designing in Canterbury there are<br />
some specific factors that need to<br />
be allowed for to create landscapes<br />
that are great spaces for people to<br />
be in and that are visually cohesive,<br />
distinctive and successful.<br />
A factor that can’t be ignored in<br />
Canterbury is its regular, hard winter<br />
frosts. This will have a distinct impact<br />
on garden design. Plant selection in<br />
Canterbury requires specimens that<br />
have a good degree of ‘hardiness’,<br />
which describes a plant’s ability<br />
to survive frosts. This means, for<br />
example, we generally can’t plant the<br />
frost-tender subtropicals that do so<br />
well in Auckland’s climate, or even<br />
some of the frost-tender natives<br />
people love, such as nikau palms<br />
and pohutukawas.<br />
However, the frequency of frosts<br />
and a cooler winter, coupled with<br />
a warm summer, will also mean<br />
Canterbury gets true seasons and our<br />
flowering plants and trees will tend<br />
to put on better seasonal displays<br />
than our ‘sister’ northern cities. If you<br />
live in Sumner, or on one of the hill<br />
suburbs, chances are your property is<br />
above the ‘frost line’ and you can get<br />
away with a wider plant selection –<br />
frost-tender succulents, for example,<br />
which just won’t survive on the flat.<br />
In these scenarios a good degree<br />
of local knowledge and an ability to<br />
read existing vegetation patterns is<br />
essential for successful garden design<br />
that works with an existing niche<br />
microclimate.<br />
Pockets of frost shelter can be<br />
established over time on most<br />
properties by plantings and built<br />
structures that create their own<br />
microclimate and protection. A<br />
shrub or tree canopy can provide<br />
shelter for frost-tender seedlings and<br />
young plants to establish. <strong>The</strong> eave<br />
overhang on a house can provide<br />
some frost shelter, which citrus,<br />
for example, will typically require.<br />
Another unexpected frost-free place<br />
around most homes is beside the<br />
external heat-pump condenser unit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> airflow of the operating unit in<br />
winter creates an airflow that can<br />
stops a frost settling, allowing for<br />
some interesting plant choices.<br />

activity zones for different age groups.<br />
Activities include a four-metre-wide slide<br />
and double flying fox, water play with<br />
cannons, sprinklers and a splash pad with<br />
controllable jets. For little ones there is a<br />
sandpit area, rockers and a crawl tunnel.<br />

PlayGround<br />
Noticing a lack of playgrounds in<br />
the Merivale area, the Merivale<br />
Community Playground Society<br />
arranged for a playground design<br />
to be presented to the local<br />
Community Board. This was<br />
considered and then approved<br />
in August 2014. <strong>The</strong> council was<br />
unable to pay for the full cost of<br />
installation so the society raised<br />
funds through the Give A Little<br />
project. $12,205 was donated<br />
by 12 generous donors. <strong>The</strong><br />
playground features interactive<br />
play equipment including an arc<br />
ladder, bird’s nest swing and<br />
Jupiter carousel. <strong>The</strong> play area<br />
is between Rugby Street and<br />
Office Road.<br />

This unique playground is situated in a<br />
new subdivision of Rolleston. With a farm<br />
theme, the playground has both physical<br />
and imaginative play options. Activities<br />
include a pretend wool shed and a basket<br />
swing for children. A separate toddlers’<br />
playground with a water play area features<br />
as part of the landscaping.<br />
Halswell doMain<br />
Set in the beautiful reserve, this playground has the added<br />
benefit of connecting children with nature. <strong>The</strong>re is a pond<br />
with natural wildlife, easy trails for family walks and paths<br />
and bridges that create a natural play area. <strong>The</strong> main feature<br />
in this new playground is a gorgeous train. For a moving<br />
experience, visit on a Sunday, and hop on the miniature<br />
railway. Halswell Miniature Trains runs rides for $2, from<br />
1-4pm. Often there are remote-controlled sailboats on the<br />
lake, too.

Building companies build show homes to demonstrate<br />
their workmanship, display innovative design ideas and<br />
present a snapshot into a new and luxurious lifestyle,<br />
featuring all the latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.<br />
A show home can inspire you in a way nothing else<br />
can. You can absorb the ambience they present and<br />
admire the innovative techniques, new materials<br />
and technology.<br />
You can ask questions, take notes and compare. You<br />
can see at a glance features you would love to emulate<br />
or would avoid when building your home.<br />
Best of all, you will see the building company's<br />
attention to detail.<br />
Show homes are the perfect way to get a good idea<br />
of pricing, discover good quality and value, learn about<br />
superior use of space,<br />
future-proofing, ongoing maintenance and long-term<br />
returns.<br />

• What is your exterior style? What kind of<br />
homes do you like? Look around and take a<br />
mental note of what you are drawn to most.<br />
• What kind of exterior materials do you like?<br />
once you’ve worked out the look you like,<br />
research what materials are available and<br />
find out about their durability.<br />
• How will you use your house?<br />
it’s important to most people to have<br />
good indoor/outdoor flow and attractive,<br />
sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your<br />
home in various seasons.<br />
• Landscaping is important. Look around and<br />
consider what you like and don’t like. Are<br />
you a structured formal garden type or do<br />
you like a contemporary native style?<br />
• Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t just<br />
buzzwords anymore. It’s very important<br />
for your new home to be environmentally<br />
friendly. Research insulation requirements,<br />
solar hot water heating, ventilation options<br />
and new technology to ensure your home<br />
will be affordable to run.<br />
• Interior décor is really exciting. This is<br />
where show homes can really help you get<br />
to know current trends, colours, beautiful<br />
furnishings and furniture. Collect home<br />
magazines and figure out what you'd love to<br />
emulate.<br />
• Also pause to give thought to architectural<br />
components inside.<br />
Do you like a raised ceiling? What kind of<br />
finishing do top homes use and which styles<br />
are you are drawn to?<br />
• Heating is also a consideration. Have a look<br />
at what show homes are offering.<br />
• Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show<br />
homes give you insight into the latest styles,<br />
materials and storage facilities available.<br />
• Bathrooms are another big component.<br />
they need to be as luxurious as you can<br />
make them, so start dreaming...<br />

Helen nutt:<br />
A BotAnicAl<br />
Artist<br />
Anne Hudson explores the<br />
difference between botanical art, botanical<br />
illustration and painting flowers. Through<br />
Helen Nutt’s artistry she finds a new<br />
appreciation for botanical paintings.<br />
I love flowers, and I love paintings of<br />
flowers, but Helen Nutt’s paintings<br />
are not just beautiful they are also<br />
scientifically correct; they are a record<br />
of a species. Helen is a botanical<br />
illustrator and artist.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> greatest flower painters have<br />
been those who have found beauty<br />
in truth; who have understood plants<br />
scientifically, but who have yet seen and<br />
described them with the eye and hand of<br />
the artist.” – Wilfrid Blunt.<br />
What is the difference between<br />
botanical art, botanical illustration and<br />
painting flowers? Botanical illustration<br />
is concerned with the scientific<br />
identification of a plant. <strong>The</strong> illustration<br />
must be accurate so that the viewer<br />
might use the information to identify<br />
the plant in its natural habitat.<br />
Botanical art, on the other hand,<br />
emphasises the flower and is less<br />
concerned with providing all the<br />
botanical information. <strong>The</strong> aim is to<br />
draw on the aesthetic qualities of the<br />
plant to show the beauty of the plant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last category, flower painting, is<br />
about pleasing the viewer with a nicely<br />
composed representation of flowers<br />
and does not have to be accurate – in<br />
fact, it may only give an impression of<br />
the plant.<br />
Helen Nutt’s paintings seem to<br />
encompass all three definitions; they<br />
are accurate, beautiful and aesthetically<br />
pleasing. Helen trained in Australia at<br />
the acclaimed Melbourne Botanical<br />
School, which encouraged her<br />
attention for detail and a passion for<br />
the pursuit of excellence in her work.<br />
As one of New Zealand’s finest<br />
botanical artist she is a leader in<br />
this field. Helen is meticulous in her<br />
research, studying the plant over its<br />
life cycle, so as to understand the<br />
plant through the seasons from winter<br />
dormancy, to leaf bud, to blossom,<br />
petal fall and to the ripening fruit<br />
or flower. All of which is recorded<br />
meticulously in her workbook using<br />
pencil. “Observation is the key,” says<br />
Helen, “My subject is drawn true to<br />
size and I usually spend time preparing<br />
a tonal drawing, recording the direction<br />
of light onto the plant and where it<br />
falls together with notes about the<br />
botanical features of the plant including<br />
its colour. Light gives the painting<br />
life. <strong>The</strong> final painting is done with<br />
watercolour taking many hours of<br />
patient concentration.<br />
“It is surely a labour of love but<br />
when I have finished I feel the painting<br />
is a part of me.”<br />
Helen’s interest and commitment<br />
led her to becoming founding and past<br />
president of the Botanical Art Society<br />
of NZ Inc. She has also exhibited in the<br />
Canterbury Plains Florigium, which was<br />
prepared for the Christchurch Botanic<br />
Garden’s 150th birthday celebration<br />
in 2014.<br />
You might ask, “What is a<br />
florigium?” This art genre likes to use<br />
correct classical terms. A florigium<br />
is an exhibition of plants that are<br />
site-specific in that they are from a<br />
particular geographic area, in this case<br />
the Canterbury Plains. <strong>The</strong> artist’s<br />
objective is to compile a collection<br />
of scaled, measured and botanically<br />
correct paintings and drawings of<br />
plants from a specific location. Helen’s<br />
Clematis paniculata was included in<br />
the Christchurch Botanic Garden’s<br />
Collection.<br />
Opportunities to exhibit are<br />
rare, but Helen Nutt’s paintings are<br />
appropriately part of the North<br />
Canterbury’s Art in a Garden’s<br />
exhibitions, too.<br />
Helen’s commitment to this genre<br />
has convinced me to look at botanical<br />
paintings with a new appreciation for<br />
not only their aesthetic appeal, but also<br />
their accurate portrayal of nature.<br />

<strong>The</strong> MeT Ball<br />
<strong>The</strong> Metropolitan Museum of Art<br />
closed down its halls in May for the<br />
<strong>2016</strong> Met Gala, also known as Met Ball.<br />
This is an annual fundraising gala for the<br />
benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of<br />

City. Each year’s event celebrates the<br />
theme of that year’s costume institute<br />
exhibition; guests are expected to<br />

With the sugar debate on every mother’s mind, we look at some<br />
natural sugar substitutes for home baking.<br />
Honey: Scrumptious honey is packed full of antioxidants and is the perfect<br />
sweetener for cakes and biscuits.<br />
Apple sauce: Instead of white sugar, swap in an equal amount of apple<br />
sauce. <strong>The</strong> natural sweetness from delicious apples is perfect in an afterdinner<br />
treat.<br />
Dates: With a low glycaemic index and a subtle sweetness, dates are<br />
perfect for brownie batter or the base of homemade granola bars.<br />
Substitute two-thirds of a cup for one cup of regular sugar.<br />
Puréed Banana: In the next loaf of banana bread, try using extra-ripe<br />
bananas and eliminating the sugar. <strong>The</strong> fruit naturally becomes sweeter as it<br />
ripens, so there’s no need for extra sugar.<br />

Who stands<br />
behind the chair?<br />
stylist Dean Mooney has 28 years’ experience,<br />
international training and has been a salon owner for<br />
17 years. this month, he gives us his advice on how to<br />
find a hair professional to suit your specific needs.<br />
i’m not going to give you a list of colour and<br />
style dos and don’ts for the coming season<br />
– i know you wouldn’t have to look far and<br />
wide to find hints and tips contradicting these<br />
thoughts. <strong>The</strong>re are so many people in the<br />
hair industry competing for your custom that<br />
it can get a little confusing.<br />
We live in a wonderful time where just<br />
about anything goes. through media our<br />
world has evolved to put nearly every choice<br />
in front of us. With styles ranging from the<br />
geometric verve of 1960s’ Vidal Sassoon,<br />
to the raw energy and texture of 1970s’<br />
punk, the charm and sophistication of 1920s’<br />
finger waves and curls, right through to the<br />
victory rolls and quiffs of the 1950s’ rockabilly<br />
pin-up. Never before have all of these styles<br />
competed in the same fashion market, and<br />
yet, here we are.<br />
How do you find a stylist to suit your style?<br />
<strong>The</strong> single most important decision you can<br />
make is choosing the right hair professional<br />
to suit your taste, your expectations and your<br />
needs. each stylist has a certain set of skills.<br />
thinking all styles and all stylists are the same<br />
would be like expecting your local Indian<br />
restaurant to add a Spanish paella or Italian<br />
pasta dish to your order.<br />
When considering a change i strongly<br />
advise asking someone whose hair you<br />
admire. the advice of friends and colleagues is<br />
fine, but remember they are advising on what<br />
makes them happy, and that may be different<br />
to what you want.<br />
be honest about your own hair<br />
requirements; daily maintenance required,<br />
products needed and budget for cutting and/<br />
or colouring work. All these things play an<br />
important part in choosing a stylist. It is often<br />
a good idea to arrange a consultation with a<br />
new stylist before embarking on a change.<br />
<strong>The</strong> old saying “A picture says a thousand<br />
words” is hugely appropriate. Look for<br />
pictures that represent important details of<br />
the style you want (things like the outline,<br />
layers, length, fringe, colour, movement<br />
and texture). a good stylist will use their<br />
experience of face and body shapes, hair<br />

your maintenance routine,<br />
your expectations and<br />
preferences to put together a<br />
recommendation.<br />
Don’t be put off if a stylist<br />
enquires about products you<br />
use on your hair at home.<br />
these can seriously affect the<br />
quality of styling and especially<br />
chemical procedures. Most<br />
people wouldn’t dream of<br />
washing a delicate mohair<br />
jumper on a heavy-duty cycle<br />
in the washing machine,<br />
and yet undermine their<br />
investment in a colour and cut<br />
by using below-standard haircare<br />
products.<br />
My own style is to work<br />
as closely with how the hair<br />
grows and falls naturally, cutting<br />
to enhance its own qualities.<br />
When my client’s needs go<br />
beyond my specific set of<br />
skills, it is my responsibility to<br />
recommend another stylist to<br />
meet their needs, in-house or<br />
in another establishment.<br />
remember, it’s all about you.<br />

5 tipS<br />
for optimal NutritioN<br />
Holistic health and fitness specialist<br />
Elly McGuinness looks at how nutritional<br />
choices can have a huge impact on our health.<br />
<strong>The</strong> degree to which your body is nourished with<br />
optimal nutritional choices will have a profound effect<br />
on your overall health and wellbeing. It will influence<br />
your energy levels, your mental wellbeing, your ability<br />
to burn fat, and the strength of your immune system,<br />
among other things.<br />
One of the most outstanding figures in the history<br />
of medicine was the Greek physician Hippocrates. He<br />
sums up the importance of optimal nutrition choices in<br />
one line: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy<br />
food.”<br />
With winter upon us, now is a great time to focus on<br />
increasing the number of positive choices when it comes<br />
to nourishing our bodies with great nutrition.<br />
Top 5 Tips for<br />
opTimaL nuTriTion:<br />
Base your nutritional regime around wholefoods<br />
Think nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, pulses and meat. make<br />
choices in these food groups that are as close to the original food as<br />
possible. This helps ensure the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients<br />
are still intact. for example, raw almonds instead of roasted and/or<br />
salted ones.<br />

Choose organiC<br />
organic farming places the<br />
utmost importance on<br />
caring for the soil because<br />
it forms the basis for<br />
health, for all life forms.<br />
Healthy soil encourages<br />
disease-resistant plants,<br />
which then transfers to<br />
the animals and people who<br />
consume those plants. By<br />
choosing organic, you are opting<br />
for food that has been grown<br />
without the use of synthetic pesticides<br />
and without the routine use of antibiotics.<br />
drink water<br />
Your body can survive a surprisingly long time without food, but it<br />
won’t last more than a few days without water. optimal hydration is<br />
critical to ensure our muscles and nerves function properly, and even<br />
mild dehydration can lead to feelings of lethargy. How much<br />
to drink? <strong>The</strong> answer is quite simple – drink until your wee is clear<br />
or almost clear. That’s an easy way to measure whether you’re<br />
getting enough.<br />
take time to plan and prepare<br />
for eating well<br />
it takes time and preparation to change your habits. schedule out<br />
time to write shopping lists, shop for food and prepare meals.<br />
plan to eat before you shop to minimise the chance of giving in to<br />
temptation foods – or shop online to minimise even further. make<br />
bulk meals to freeze for busy nights and set aside time to prepare a<br />
packed lunch the night before. Keep useful kitchen items in easyto-reach<br />
places – for example, put the blender on the bench rather<br />
than in the cupboard so that healthy smoothie preparation is quick<br />
and easy.<br />
Change only one small thing at a time<br />
You may feel overwhelmed by wondering where to start improving<br />
your nutrition. make one small, achievable change and once that<br />
becomes a habit (something you can do without a major effort),<br />
then focus on something else. small changes are the key to success.<br />
for example, instead of saying “i’m only going to eat wholefoods<br />
from now on and forever,” instead make your target more realistic<br />
such as, “i’m going to increase to eating at least four different<br />
vegetables per day, on at least five days every week.”<br />

Squid is a robust and textured seafood. it requires the correct preparation<br />
to ensure it is perfectly cooked, and does not take on that unsavoury rubberlike<br />
quality. Andrew Brown shows us the way, with his modern take on a<br />
traditional cantonese dish.<br />
cocktail of the Month is brought to<br />
you by Stealth hospitality, the company<br />
behind king of Snake, chinwag,<br />
Mexicano’s and the Dirty land.<br />
ingreDientS<br />
4 squid tubes<br />
(or 2 whole squid)<br />
130g cornflour<br />
130g rice flour<br />
¼ tsp chilli powder<br />
1 tsp Szechuan pepper<br />
(finely ground)<br />
1 tsp flaky salt<br />
200ml milk<br />
oil for frying<br />
MethOD<br />
• to prepare the squid: For tubes, cut the tube in half<br />
lengthways and remove cartilage/cuttle bone (thin,<br />
clear shard that runs the length of the tube).<br />
Without completely cutting through, score the full length<br />
of the squid with lines approximately 5mm apart, on a<br />
45-degree angle.<br />
if using whole squid, cut the tenticles and scrub to remove<br />
any of the hard sucker rings. From the tube, remove the<br />
beak and cut the triangle tail. Only use the cleaned<br />
tenticles and cleaned tube (as per above preparation).<br />
Cut the tubes and tenticles into bite-sized pieces.<br />
• Mix all dry ingredients well.<br />
• Place the squid into the milk (this ensures the dry<br />
ingredients stick to the squid).<br />
• Heat the oil to 185°C in a deep fryer.<br />
• Remove the squid from the milk and shake any excess<br />
milk, then dredge the squid through the dry ingredients<br />
(seasoning).<br />
• Fry small amounts of squid until the coating is crisp.<br />
remove and drain on a paper towel.
a taste OF MOrOccO<br />
Mosaic by Simo offers the exquisite taste of Morocco, in addington.<br />
WOrds VaneSSa OrtYnSkY PhOtOGraPhy charlie JackSOn<br />
mosaic by simo transports guests to<br />
the streets of morocco for enticing<br />
authentic cuisine. As Christchurch’s first<br />
moroccan restaurant, mosaic provides<br />
an unforgettable, aromatic experience.<br />
located on busy lincoln road, the allday<br />
eatery is friendly and inviting. When<br />
we arrive for dinner we feel as though<br />
we have set foot in a friend’s dining<br />
room, surrounded by beautiful middleeastern<br />
lamps and vases on display.<br />
those looking to sample moroccan<br />
cuisine will be satisfied by the variety of<br />
dishes on offer at mosaic. during the<br />
day, the restaurant serves wraps and<br />
salads from its deli. the dinner menu is<br />
traditional and infused with an array of<br />
herbs and spices. From mezze to tagines<br />
and briouat parcels, the options are a<br />
colourful medley of fresh ingredients. i<br />
resolve to return again soon to try more<br />
of the menu.<br />
at our server’s suggestion, we settle<br />
on the andalusian platter, which features<br />
vine-leaf wrapped dolmades, falafel,<br />
north african rolls, vegetable crudités,<br />
artichokes and olives. everything looks<br />
and tastes amazing, and allows us to<br />
sample a wide range of moroccan<br />
cuisine. the dishes are beautifully<br />
displayed with rich colours and scents.<br />
it is customary in morocco to enjoy<br />
your meal at a leisurely pace and never<br />
rush, so we take our time with each<br />
dish.<br />
the traditional moroccan mint tea is<br />
must-try. served with a turkish delight, it<br />
comes in a gorgeous silver teapot.<br />
With delectable food and genuine<br />
hospitality, dining at mosaic by simo<br />
is truly a pleasure. and, as much as<br />
i’d love to keep mosaic by simo all to<br />
myself, moroccan food is to be enjoyed<br />
and shared with others. Christchurch<br />
is fortunate to have such incredible<br />
moroccan cuisine right on its doorstep<br />
and those looking for a truly authentic<br />
experience should certainly plan a visit.<br />

Having recently arrived on the scene, Empire firmly<br />
cements st Asaph street as a hospitality and nightlife<br />
destination. nestled between café Valentino and<br />
Baretta, the eclectic Japanese gastropub beckons diners<br />
inside with its red neon glow.<br />
this izakaya offers a modern twist on the social pubstyle<br />
Japanese dining with not a tatami mat or low table<br />
in sight. <strong>The</strong> interior fit-out is clean, with soft interior<br />
lighting and red accents that complete a trendy, but<br />
inviting atmosphere. patrons are seated in booths or at<br />
high-top tables, which are removed later in the evening<br />
to reveal a cavernous dance floor. This, along with the<br />
expansive bar and loudspeakers, is evidence of a place<br />
with no intentions of early weekend closing.<br />
the menu offers a modern twist on traditional<br />
Japanese dishes, which encourages guests to sample a<br />
wide selection of the menu. the yakitori menu features<br />
an array of chicken skewers that are designed for<br />
sharing. the kushiyaki menu includes a variety of grilled<br />
meats, like pork belly and scallops, as well as vegetables.<br />
Both the yakitori and kushiyaki are served with either<br />
tare sauce or shio (sea salt).<br />
the larger izakaya dishes include both traditional and<br />
‘new style’ selections that can also be enjoyed as mains.<br />
With a focus on flavour, the dishes offer inventive<br />
updates on authentic Japanese cuisine. As per Japanese<br />
custom, every dish is beautifully presented, another<br />
strength at Empire.<br />
the bar list is a little more tongue-in-cheek with<br />
cocktails such as ‘sum-ting yum’ as well as Asahi and<br />
must-try sake.<br />
those looking for fresh, inventive Japanese cuisine<br />
should get themselves to Empire right away. not only<br />
is the food mouthwateringly delicious, the atmosphere<br />
represents the new christchurch food scene that is<br />
steadily emerging. i’m sure you’ll agree that Empire<br />
signals the next generation of christchurch cool.<br />

BMW on a<br />
charge<br />
BMW’s electric-powered i3 gives<br />
Ross Kiddie a shock.<br />
I’ve been a member of the New Zealand Motoring Writers’<br />
Guild for 28 years and value highly its annual Car of the Year<br />
Award. Last year’s winner was probably the most significant<br />
in the award’s history. <strong>The</strong> award was presented to BMW<br />
New Zealand for the i3 – it is what BMW describe as a<br />
mega-city vehicle.<br />
Significantly, the i3 is electric powered. It’s the first time an<br />
unconventional vehicle has won the award, and that suggests<br />
to me that times are definitely changing. <strong>The</strong> motor industry<br />
is viewing a whole new strategy in the way we drive and the<br />
propulsion for doing so.<br />
It’s a little bit of a lie to say BMW’s i3 is totally electric<br />
powered. <strong>The</strong> test car was fitted with what BMW describe<br />
as a range extender – a two-cylinder internal combustion<br />
engine courtesy of BMW’s motorcycle range. It will double the<br />
distance the i3 can travel – up to 400km-plus depending on<br />
conditions and auxiliary draw such as air conditioning.<br />
Like I said, the petrol-fuelled unit is an option on the i3, it<br />
is there for those who fear range anxiety, or who need just<br />
that little bit of extra distance from the batteries on their daily<br />
commute, or the ability to travel longer distances on a regular<br />
basis. <strong>The</strong> i3 utilises the latest generation lithium-ion battery<br />
technology, up to 94Ah from 60Ah previously. Both AC and<br />
DC charging systems are incorporated, the latter will charge<br />
80 per cent of battery power in 40min.<br />

About us<br />
Since 1976 our company has<br />
been the leading independent<br />
specialist in Mercedes Benz,<br />
BMW and Audi servicing in<br />
Christchurch - offering a cost<br />
effective alternative to the<br />
franchised dealer.<br />
Kevin Burt Ltd is a owner/<br />
operator business and services<br />
in excess of 2000 Mercedes-<br />
Benz, BMW and Audi cars every<br />
year - from classic models to<br />
the more recent.<br />

Technology aside, the i3 is a surprise. Beneath the bold,<br />
quirky look lies a spirited easy-to-drive model; it feels superquick<br />
with immediate drive, the strong torque flow an electric<br />
motor develops is dominant, it also has decisive braking under<br />
deceleration.<br />
BMW claims an acceleration time of 8.1sec (7.2sec, solely<br />
electric) to make 100km/h from a standstill, and if laws allowed<br />
it would reach a 150km/h top speed. I’m in no doubt they are<br />
achievable performance figures. <strong>The</strong> i3 has energy at all speeds,<br />
acceleration is constant, to my way of thinking it is a lot more than<br />
just an urban commuter, it feels spirited at highway speed, and its<br />
whisper-quiet motion is relaxing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latter needs to be kept in perspective, the i3 makes little<br />
sound as it moves; that being the case, the driver needs to be<br />
aware that pedestrians don’t always hear it coming, and in built-up<br />
areas that could jeopardise their safety. That didn’t happen during<br />
my time in the test car, but what was noticeable were the looks it<br />
received from passers-by.<br />
<strong>The</strong> i3’s styling is very avant-garde, it has styling cues and design<br />
elements that are ground-breaking, yet fit with its role – it is a<br />
vehicle that stands out with its concept, and beneath its chunky<br />
design is an environmentally-friendly cockpit, which can be<br />
optioned to suit each eco-conscious buyer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> BMW i3’s ideology will lure the person who is concerned<br />
about the welfare of the environment and just needs a commuter<br />
where distance of travel isn’t a consideration, but at $74,300<br />
it does carry a premium price ($85,300 with range extender).<br />
However, any i3 buyer who is familiar with BMW vehicles<br />
will automatically be at home in the i3, it is intuitive inside and<br />
simplistic in its operating systems.<br />
It is also a useful four-seater. <strong>The</strong>re are two rear-hinged doors<br />
that allow easy access to a cosy rear section, and it has the<br />
functions that make BMW vehicles desirable in the first instance<br />
<strong>The</strong> speCs<br />
PRice: BMW i3, $85,300.<br />
Dimensions: Length, 3999mm;<br />
width, 1775mm; height, 1578mm.<br />
configuRation: Two-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive, 647cc,<br />
28kW (125kW), 56Nm (250Nm), automatic.<br />
PeRfoRmance: 0-100km/h, 8.1sec.<br />
– satellite navigation, i-Drive and BMW Connected Drive. Vision is<br />
high with large glass areas, and although the tyres are thin there’s<br />
never a point where you think the i3 is vulnerable. And, being short,<br />
it has fabulous manoeuvrability with a 10m turning circle.<br />
I’ve seen several i3s on Christchurch roads, and that would<br />
suggest people are looking to alternative transport yet understand<br />
personal motor vehicles are still very much a necessity. <strong>The</strong> i3<br />
arrives in New Zealand at a time when the awareness of electric<br />
cars has increased hugely. Hopefully an increase in quick charge<br />
stations will pop-up for those who do choose electric only.<br />
My best friend is a Nissan Leaf owner, he is very much a<br />
‘greenie’. He and the i3 have certainly heightened my awareness of<br />
where we are heading in a world where sustainability is becoming<br />
a global demand.<br />

True Grit Breast Cancer<br />
Cure Luncheon<br />
Debbie Thompson, Lyn Davies<br />
Bianca Punt, Tania McCoy<br />
<strong>The</strong> late morning light of the unusually warm<br />
autumn danced about the courtyard at Baretta,<br />
welcoming guests to the True Grit Breast Cancer<br />
Cure Luncheon. Flutes of luscious pink Champers<br />
tickled the mouth and prepped the palate for the<br />
treats to come. Dishes of delight, nobly conjured<br />
from the kitchen were presented, destined to be<br />
remembered as gems of the chef’s genius. Bids<br />
made in the silent auction provided the means<br />
to fund the war on this terrible disease which<br />
scourges the world. Special guest Shane<br />
Cortese stole much of the attention, his<br />
presence lending support to the campaign.<br />
<strong>The</strong> banquet ended all too soon, but in<br />
triumph, to be heralded a success.<br />

Ryman Healthcare Season of RNZB Wizard of Oz First Night<br />
A curious glow suffused the Gloucester Room, catching the eye’s corner before vanishing, only to reappear as faces<br />
moved through the mysterious pools of light. <strong>The</strong> tint was a lush green that lured the mind to believe that one really<br />
was in the Emerald City. This location was of course the Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal, the backstage tense with final limbering<br />
as dancers made ready. <strong>The</strong> Ryman Healthcare Season of <strong>The</strong> Wizard of Oz presented by <strong>The</strong> Royal New Zealand<br />
Ballet was about to begin and guests attending the pre-show party, filed in to join Dorothy on her journey along the<br />

<strong>The</strong> promise of a stylish night out drew<br />
a multitude to <strong>The</strong> Columbo where deep<br />
within, platters were being loaded with<br />
goodies and glasses charged with liquid<br />
treasure. When at last the doors were flung<br />
open, the tide of guests entered, setting the<br />
mall alive with the babble of voices. Following<br />
the rounds of food and beverages, the show<br />
began. Long-limbed models strode between<br />
rows of seated viewers, presenting garments<br />
for appreciation, the completion of each<br />
circuit drawing applause. As the final click of<br />
high heels on the catwalk faded away, boutiques<br />
opened up for the opportunity to shop at leisure<br />
and indulge in another morsel or three of<br />
naughty but nice comestibles.<br />

Do I Look Fat<br />
In thIs?<br />
I think when<br />
women say,<br />
‘Do I look fat in<br />
this?’ they’re<br />
asking for<br />
some deeper<br />
validation.<br />
It’s not about<br />
fashion advice.<br />
– JESSICA WEINER<br />
Hands up if you are guilty of<br />
asking your significant other the<br />
dreaded question: “Does this<br />
make me look fat?”<br />
In that moment, you forget the<br />
pressure that has been placed on<br />
the one you love to deliver not<br />
their answer, but the right answer,<br />
in the most unscripted, natural<br />
and sincere way, ensuring it’s<br />
exactly what you want to hear.<br />
Let’s take a step back and see<br />
what has driven you to the point<br />
where you feel you require this<br />
acceptance or acknowledgment<br />
from another party.<br />
Have we – as women and girls<br />
– ever been completely happy<br />
with our body image? Probably<br />
not. Is there an exceptional<br />
woman out there who loves<br />
everything about herself and<br />
doesn’t give a damn what others<br />
think of her? Call me a cynic, but<br />
somehow, I don’t think so. I dare<br />
say even the likes of Heidi Klum<br />
or Charlize <strong>The</strong>ron have their “fat<br />
days”.<br />
It’s ironic that the one person<br />
we are all ultimately striving for<br />
acceptance from is the same<br />
person who looks back at us<br />
each day in the mirror – ourself.<br />
Wouldn’t it be amazing to think<br />
that one day we could all look<br />
in that same mirror and affirm<br />
the beautiful lyrics from musical<br />
maestro John Legend: “‘Cause all<br />
of me, loves all of you. Love your<br />
curves and all your edges. All<br />
your perfect imperfections.”<br />
Right! Now, back to where<br />
we started. Can I just put it out<br />
there for the defence of our poor<br />
partners that the next time you<br />
feel the question brewing at the<br />
back of your throat – “Does this<br />
make me look…” – stop, reflect<br />
and answer your internal self<br />
with the answer, “YES!” Because,<br />
ultimately, if you’re asking the<br />
question, you already know the<br />
answer, don’t you. Just listen to<br />
your inner stylist.<br />
