LETTER From The EDITOR
If there’s anything “It’s a Wonderful Life Taught Us,” it’s that life is not made up by what we get
out of it, but what we give to it. All the riches in the world cannot compare to the love of family
and warmth of community.
As the cooler temperatures come to the coast and the valleys, San Diego is preparing for the
busy holiday season, which kicks off with a Thanksgiving feast and doesn’t stop until the ball
drops into the New Year. So before we leap in to this joyous time of year, FINE Magazine decided
to set aside this issue to celebrate a season of giving.
This month, we unveil Leonard Simpson’s “Best Dressed”—some of the most generous and
inspirational philanthropists in the county—and we give a nod to prostate cancer awareness by
wishing our readers a Happy “Movember.” We also offer floral and decorating guides to set the
best table in town, and reveal the secret to keeping your kitchen sparkling clean. (Psst—it involves
letting someone else prepare the gourmet feast.)
So before the hectic holiday schedule sets in—and before we see James Stewart too many times
to learn anything from him—let’s remember what really matters this time of year. As Arthur
Ashe said: “From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”
Jeanette Calo
Cheers,

HOME SWEET HOME
Home Sweet Home
San Diego companies share the latest in home entertainment systems.
By Luke Travis
S
an Diego is a city of abundance. There is a material
abundance, which manifests in an average household
income that ranks fifth of all U.S. cities. There is a
cultural abundance, with world famous zoos, aquatic parks
and beaches dotting the landscape. There are an abundance
of days where the weather never drops below 70 degrees. And
there is an abundant supply of technicians willing and ready to
install entertainment systems into your house for less than the
industry standard.
Since choosing from the plethora of options can be daunting,
we here at FINE Magazine have done our best to narrow
down the selection process to a few of the very best in the area.
Kiwi Audio Visual
Kiwi Audio Visual (kiwiav.com) is the crème de la crème.
They have made their reputation on service, and it has brought
20
them success. In the words of founder and CEO Brian Bass:
“We look after our customers and systems at a level that others
are unwilling to provide.”
Kiwi also places special emphasis on custom installations.
“It all starts with our client,” Bass said. “Our sales and design
specialists carefully document the client’s needs and desires.”
After the project is designed, the customer is able to
communicate directly with the operations manager to provide
a “seamlessly integrated” system, according to Bass.
Kiwi also prides itself on its sustainability practices. “We believe
in saving costs,” Bass said, “both for our clients and for the
environment.” Using remote monitoring systems that update,
reset and perform service-related tasks straight from the office
saves a great deal on fuel consumption and keeps customers’
electronic equipment from being damaged. And old electronics
end up in recycling facilities all around the world.
KIWI AUDIO VIDEO
Kiwi is also at the cutting edge of technological advancements
in the field. “We find it exciting to work with computer-based
home entertainments systems—everything from Apple TVs
and iPads to Dell Zinos,” Bass explained.
With its superlative customer service and vast expertise, Kiwi
never garners a poor review or an unhappy customer.
Beyond Audio and Video
Another company at the forefront of customizable
installation services in San Diego, Beyond Audio and Video
(beyondaudiovideo.com) is one of the few that offers fully
customizable home theaters, as well as one-touch, all-home
automation. Its other services range from security cameras to
lighting control to computers networks—and the list goes on.
Beyond’s slogan—“From simple to sinfully over the top”—
sums it up perfectly. It carries products from the largest and
most reliable names in the industry, including Artcoustic,
AMX, Audioquest, Denon, Fujitsu and Home Logic. For the
quality and service of products Beyond provides, its $90/hr
setup rate is more than fair.
HD Hookups
The services and installations at HD Hookups (hdhookups.
com) are even better than the discrete innuendo embedded in
the company name. It is one of the few local theater installation
companies that advertises itself as a provider of corporate and
home installations.
HD Hookups’ website façade is impressive, and the layout
and photos do a grand job of speaking for themselves. If a
picture is worth a thousand words, then the preponderance
of high-def, gauzy-looking photographs should be enough to
make heads spin with anticipation. HD Hookups’ services run

the whole gamut of electrical and entertainment installation
pieces. Not only does it offer home theater installation, it also
specializes in security cameras, universal remote systems and
“whole house music” systems.
Home automation is perhaps the most fascinating feature,
as it allows you to seamlessly integrate the function of lights,
shutters, video and sound systems into one button on a remote
control. But what speaks loudest of all though, as always, is the
sterling Yelp reviews, which rank this business as high as any
can be ranked in terms of customer service, price-to-service
ratio and overall product quality. It’s a solid choice for anyone
looking for the latest in home theaters.
Visolution
Visolution (visolutiontv.com) is a paragon of professionalism
within the local industry. You will be hard-pressed to discover a
single negative review of its services. Visolution’s installations
are quick, its prices are fair and its employees even clean up
after themselves—the most universally underappreciated
22
virtue for all handymen everywhere. Its two-year warranty on
all its workmanship is also extraordinary.
Keith’s SoCal Home Theater
Keith’s SoCal Home Theater (socalhometheater.com) is
and has been a major player in the region for 11 years. What
differentiates this business from hordes of competitors is a
commitment to customer education. The pedagogues of
product maintenance and upkeep, Keith’s will tell you how
to avoid costly repairs and how to keep your equipment at
optimum functional capacity—all with grace and easy smiles.
And Keith’s covers a very wide area of service between San
Diego and Los Angeles, so chances are it will be able to make
it out to you.
With great abundance at every turn, it should be no great
surprise to find so many viable options for home electronics
installation in San Diego. The greatest problem with such
abundance, of course, is the burden of choice. We’ve narrowed
it down, but will have to leave the rest up to your discretion.

SPA HAVEN
Spa
Haven
Health spa Cal-a-Vie
is one of the county’s
best-kept secrets.
By Rosalie Cushman
P
erched among whispering canyons and voluptuous
vistas unfurling themselves as far as the eye can see is
the best-kept secret in North County. The Spa-Havens,
otherwise known as Cal-a-Vie, is a Vista area resort and retreat
spread over 220 acres of luscious vegetation and undulating
hills. This health spa extraordinaire awaits three-, four- and
seven-night guests, all arriving to reinvigorate mind, body and
soul. The beauty of the place is nearly heart-stopping, except
that, in a flash, it is compelled to beat again—and regularly,
as guests sign up for regimens that will transform their being.
“It is all about the program, to unleash the passion of
exercise,” quipped marketing director Lin Alvarez. For more
than 26 years, the program has been perfected to include an
ideal combination of workout and exercise offerings, along
with both conventional and exotic treatments.
“Guests fill out a questionnaire about goals and desires for
their stay upon arrival. Typically, there is a fitness evaluation,
weigh-in and blood tests, if guests choose, to identify any
sensitivities or allergies,” Alvarez said. Then, they receive a
specially designed program for their visit here.”
Guests begin their day in The Forum, a focal-point for
meetings, classes, workouts and the Great Room, an overlarge
room gazing out on tranquil lily pads lit by the sun glistening
off the water. “Each day begins at 6:30 a.m., when guests
receive their program for that day,” Alvarez explained. Some
26
guests may hike the hills on the 23 acres of developed trails
snaking their way through the canyon. Others may start with a
round of golf on neighboring Vista Valley Golf Course.
“We are always adding new classes, looking for cutting-edge
workout styles based on what guests want,” Alvarez continued.
Indeed, mainstay classes include a wide variety of Pilates,
an ample amount of workout equipment—from weights to
bikes to treadmills—or—selecting from numerous Tai Chi
and yoga offerings. Cal-a-Vie has recently even introduced an
underwater spinning class and a hydro-rider class, always with
an eye for the next innovation. In addition, the resort boasts a
clay tennis court and two swimming pools.
“People come with different goals,” Alvarez said. But what
all guests have in common is a desire to restart and rejuvenate
themselves through an intensive workout, treatment and
meditative-style getaway from the grind of daily life. All the
food is organic, with meals consisting of tasty and nutritious
dietary combinations of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs, lean
meats and fish, all presented with gourmet flair.
The days are filled with numerous activities. “Actually, people
spend little time in their room. By 3 p.m. the first day, guests
want to know ‘what’s next,’” Alvarez said. “They’ve already
recognized a transformation has taken place.” says Alvarez.
Following morning exercises comes afternoon treatments like
a seaweed wrap, massage or a hot stone foot treatment, then
dinner at 7 p.m., with evenings inviting fireside chats or local
musicians performing in the Great Room.
All of this rejuvenation is not to be eclipsed by Cal-a-Vie’s
physical beauty. Owned and developed by John and Terri
Havens of Houston, Texas, the resort’s design displays an
unmistakable French motif. Terri Havens said she wanted to
recreate as much of the tranquil French countryside feeling
as possible. Indeed, the Forum’s Great Room is constructed
with reclaimed wood, brick and stone and includes gorgeous
tapestries and art throughout. Furnishings are exquisite
with intimate seated groupings designed to draw one into
conversation or solitary reflection.
Guests stay in one of the 32 villas on the property, equally
designed with the same impeccable elegance. Equipped with
a king-sized bed and finely-crafted furnishings, no detail is left
unacknowledged or need unmet. “We even had a 400-year-old
French chapel brought over and reconstructed brick by brick,”
states Alvarez. “Guests can rent out the entire spa for weddings
or any other themed get-together like a family reunion,” she
adds.
An exquisite combination of comfort and style, revitalization
through rest and restorative exercise, Cal-a-Vie truly takes
your breath away.

San Diego boutique
owner Sarena
Cowles shares an
insider’s look into
New York City’s fall
fashion scene.
I
t’s no surprise that New York is a
fashion mecca—and nowhere does
this show itself more than in the
autumn. The arrival of stunning fall
foliage heralds highly-anticipated fall
fashion that debuts on the runway and
quickly spreads to the fashionable streets
of Manhattan.
Models, buyers and celebrities from
around the world descend upon the city
that never sleeps for New York Fashion
Week, a semi-annual event held in
February and September. As the owner of
the Shoes Me boutique in Pacific Beach, I
was a designer in this year’s event, which
jumpstarted a busy season in the fashion
world. When I wasn’t busy preparing for
show at the Metropolitan Pavilion, I was
taking in the sites that set New York City
apart. Here’s my advice for taking a bite
of The Big Apple in the fall.
Where to eat
Gottino
Neighborhood: West Village
Cuisine: Wine bar, Italian
Price range: $11-30
30
This Italian-themed gastropub, wine
bar and coffee shop features a beautiful
outdoor garden, which is open until
3 a.m. The restaurant specializes in
cicchetti (or tapas) and is famous for its
cheeses, pates and even a seasonal rabbit
pot pie.
WD-50
Neighborhood: Lower East Side.
Cuisine: Molecular gastronomy,
American Nouveau
Price range: $61 and up
Chef Wylie Dufrense has made a name
for himself with his ecclectic cooking
style, and WD-50 certainly delivers on
that front. Dufrense relies on science and
chemistry to create one-of-a-kind dishes—
like a sunny-side-up egg salad with carrot
puree and coconut broth.
The Meatball Shop
Neighborhood: Lower East Side
Cuisine: Italian, American
Price range: $11-30
Home to the best homemade meatballs
in the city, the Meatball Shop is a cheap
alternative to the other pricey Italian restaurants. I highly
recommend the ice cream sandwich, which features two
homemade cookies and a sizable portion of ice cream.
Landmark
Neighborhood: Upper West Side, Tribeca
Cuisine: American
Price range: $31-60
Chef Marc Murphy’s menu caters to all appetites. This
after-work hangout boasts an incredible wine list and
sells only by the bottle. The catch—all wine is served at
a minimum markup. The steaks are cooked to order and
I’m told the sweetbreads are to die for.
Tea & Sympathy
Cuisine: British
Price range: $11-30
An English-owned and operated tea house with a pub. Far
better than your mum used to make.
Where to party
The Box
Neighborhood: Lower East Side
This spot is very exclusive. You need to know someone
to get in or you pay $500 per person. Once in, prepare
yourself for celebs and freaky behavior.
Brandy Library
Neighborhood: Tribeca
What sets Brandy Library apart—aside from its sizable
selection of whiskeys, brandy and spirits—is its level of
style and sophistication. It’s not the rowdiest bar in New
York, but it may be the classiest.
Bar and Books
This chain has four sites in New York, including one of
the last cigar bars in the city. Max’s Tobacco Shop boasts
an immense scotch selection and more Bond Girls in red
dresses than the opening credits sequence to “A View to
a Kill.”
Little Branch
Sasha Petraske, the man behind the members-only
speakeasy Milk and Honey, founded this drinks-only
establishment. The bar features live jazz, tin ceilings and
not a stitch of food. Drinks are served with hand-carved
ice. Order a beer and get a frown; order vodka and get
kicked out.
Little Branch
Neighborhood: Chelsea
A secret door in an unassuming coffee shop leads to this
31
Living
Lifestyle
Luxury
BIG APPLE PICKINGS
1920s-style speakeasy. The decor is meticulous, from the
memorable entrance to the copper bathtub in the middle
of the room to the pull-chains toilet flushers.
Where to shop
Jesse James Boutique
This stylish boutique is casual—it serves up Coronas or
sparkling wine while you shop. The collection includes
an amazing selection by women with great taste—Walter,
Shoshanna and some cool designers you may not know.
This place is very stylish but relaxed.
Amarcord Vintage Fashion
Neighborhood: Soho
Best known for its trendy collection of high-end vintage
and hard-to-find designer pieces, this shop also has a
premium selection of mint-condition handbags and

FALL MASTERPIECE
Fall
Masterpiece
Capture the beauty of the season
in your own floral arrangement.
By Suzanne Broyles
A
utumn is a marked by its own singular beauty,
introducing bright reds, oranges and yellows into
nature’s color palette. And when it comes to bringing
these colors into your home, the next best thing to flying in a
New England maple tree is to create floral arrangements that
celebrate the harvest season.
You don’t have to be a pro to create a striking arrangement
to centerpiece this fall. Just look for inspiration in a few places
and follow some easy tips. You’ll be amazed by the beauty you
can easily capture.
Think Outside the Vase
Before automatically picking up your usual glass flower vases,
consider unusual containers you can use for arrangements.
Baskets, metal containers, pottery, old pitchers, a wood box are
great choices. Even beautiful blue and white porcelain shouts
“It’s fall!” when filled with sunflowers.
If your new container is waterproof, arrange the flowers in
flower foam that has been soaked in water for 15 minutes.
However, if your container was not meant to hold water, place
the flowers in a small glass of water inside.
A grouping of three vases of the same color but different
shapes—or of three baskets of different sizes and textures—
creates a lovely arrangement. Arrange the same flower in each
34
container or fill each with a different flower in autumn hues of
yellow, orange and burgundy. These can be all the same height
or three varied heights, small or very large, depending on the
space you are filling.
Look for loose fall flowers at grocery stores and farmers’ markets,
and combine with dried grasses, wheat and pussy willows
available at craft stores. Sunflowers and chrysanthemums are
fall favorites, and they can look quite different in unusual
containers—especially when mixed with different sizes and
types.
Some of the most beautiful harvest arrangements are elegantly
simple. Begin with a floral frog—a multi-pronged stand that
holds flowers upright—in a shallow bowl. Place three tall flowers,
such as bird of paradise, at different heights. Then arrange one
or two large leaves, perhaps from the flowers themselves or from
your yard, and scatter smooth stones at the base.
Look for Harvest Inspirations
Fruits and vegetables can also serve as containers or as a
striking element of the arrangement. Now’s the time of year
to pick up pumpkins of all sizes, which look best in groupings.
Place the flower arrangement inside a hollowed pumpkin and
place two smaller pumpkins beside it. And don’t forget white
pumpkins—they can make a great statement.
After carving a pumpkin, you also can place live potted
flowers inside by tilting the lid of the pumpkin on the side.
These look beautiful on stairways and outdoor tables.
Buy extra pumpkins early in the month and save them for
containers for flower arrangements for Thanksgiving. Gourds,
pomegranates and apples can also be placed around the base
of your arrangement, or even used as candleholders.
On a simple walk, you can often glean all you need to inspire
a beautiful fall arrangement. Look for dead branches with
interesting form, colored leaves and even dried weeds—but
watch out for poison oak! It can be beautiful, but you will
regret choosing it for your floral arrangement.
You can also collect dried pods and seeds such as acorns
and liquid amber pods to scatter around the base of the
arrangement or used as filler in a clear vase with flowers. Try
placing a glass filled with water for your flowers within a larger
clear vase filled with unshelled walnuts. For this arrangement,
golden marigolds or chrysanthemums would be especially
pretty, as they would seem to be growing out of a field of
walnuts. And don’t always assume that bigger is better. It can be
more charming to separate similar flowers from the typical
fall bouquet and place them in separate smaller arrangements
around your home.
Master Loose Arrangements
For a no-fail way to make your arrangement stand out,
follow these simple instructions:
• If you don’t have flower preserver, fill your clean
vase with water containing a few drops of bleach
and one teaspoon of sugar to make the flowers last
longer. Another option is to add a cup of 7Up to
the water.
• Strip stems so that no leaves will be covered by water
and decompose.
• Cut stems to about twice the height of your vase,
leaving several stems an inch or two longer for the
center of your bouquet.
• Insert stems of foliage and filler flowers, crisscrossing
the stems as you go to create a grid that helps hold
the other flowers in place.
• Starting at the rim of your vase and working toward
the center, add other flowers, spacing them as if they
were points on a triangle. Place the longest stems in
the center of your bouquet.
Don’t forget to stand back and review your bouquet,
making adjustments as needed.

FALL MASTERPIECE
Follow a Few Tips
A couple tips will make sure you enjoy your floral
arrangements:
• Cut an inch off the stems using a sharp knife,
especially if the flowers will sit a while before being
arranged. The fresh cut will help the stems absorb
water better.
• If the stem is woody, pound the end of the stem with
a hammer first so it absorbs water better.
• Store your freshly cut stems a few days before an
event in the refrigerator. (Note: You will probably
have to remove a shelf.) This also keeps roses from
opening before you want them to.
• Use florist’s foam to keep flowers in place and
constantly hydrated so they last longer. Soak the
foam in water for 15 minutes before cutting it to fit
the container, and water it every few days. You can
also use small stones to help stabilize flowers in a
container.
• For a tall arrangement, make your bouquet one-anda-half times taller than its container, and balance
the width with the height. For some arrangements,
you may want to drape greenery such as ivy over the
container’s rim. When crafting your arrangement, remember that fall is
a time for the gathering of family and friends, and time
spent creating beautiful floral collections adds beauty
and warmth to the season’s special moments. Enjoy the
peace and tranquility that comes in capturing autumn’s
matchless beauty.

Painter Erik Skoldberg
leaves his mark on San Diego.
By Natalie Neece
E
rik Skoldberg is painting the town red—and a host of
other colors. The San Diego artist’s work is on display
at the Merrill Lynch Building downtown, and is also
featured in famed art dealer Alexander Salazar’s La Jolla and
downtown galleries.
Skoldberg, a San Diego native and University of San Diego
graduate, said his work is heavily influenced by his own
experiences. His use of bright colors and broad strokes leave
a lasting impression.
“I want to build a collection that connects my travels,
experiences and Mother Nature, and take a view into that
world of emotional harmony,” he said.
Skoldberg’s journey into art began at a young age. His
mother, Gloria Skoldberg, has been teaching art for more
than 30 years and operates the Skoldberg Art Academy in San
Diego. Erik said he was fascinated by colors, color theory and
the impact color can have. His work is typically done in an open-air setting. Using
pictures from his travels, Skoldberg will look for color
combinations that “most effectively carry out my image and
fuse appropriately.
“Once my colors are determined, my dance of brush strokes
begins,” he said.
If the colors from his work seem familiar, it’s because they
are. Skoldberg said he relies on the icy blues of Alaska, the
tropical greens of Fiji and the burning reds of a San Diego
sunset.
“I am following a road map from my experiences straight to
the canvas, and hope the viewer will interpret it individually,”
he said.
In the summer of 2011, Skoldberg signed with Alexander
Salazar Fine Art in San Diego. By the fall, he was featured at
72 x 48 inches
Lime, forest, cobalt blue, yellow
108 x 60 inches

the Saving Station 9 charity event at the La Valencia Hotel
in La Jolla. Earlier this year, Skoldberg was showcased
in a FedEx marketing campaign for the Professional
Convention Management Association. His art is in the
corporate office and FedEx store in San Diego.
But perhaps Skoldberg’s biggest achievement was his first
solo show at the grand opening of Salazar Contemporary
Art Exhibits in La Jolla.
“I believe that great artists should also be great individuals,
and Erik Skoldberg is passionate about his art and helping
others,” Salazar said. “He has supported many charitable
causes throughout his life by donating his beautiful artwork
to various causes. I admire his commitment to painting,
which is different than committing to art … he paints from
the heart and by this, he gives his works a breath and life
of their own.”
It’s been a busy year for Skoldberg, and it appears things
won’t be slowing down any time soon. His work was
featured in the grand opening of the Palomar Hotel, and
his unique style seems to fit in San Diego.
“I approach each painting with the same technique,”
he said. “My strokes and multiple layers are never the
same order, causing new dimensions and new forms of
expression. My style will continue with new ideas and
new constantly changing results. My painting will always
evolve.”

Yoga Six
No Place Like ‘Om’
Local yoga studios share the path to balance.
By Jeanne Ferris
W
ith GPS and Google Maps, getting lost in the city
is hard to do these days. But getting lost in a menu
of yoga practices can be easy if you’re unfamiliar
with Sanskrit.
The world according to Maharishi Patanjali’s “Yoga
Sutras”—profound Hindu works of philosophy written
about 2,000 years ago—is considered by adept devotees of
traditional yoga meditation to be the map to finding balance.
Focusing on external stretching while detoxifying through
breath rewards a student with clarity and flexibility, which is
both transformative and curative. Consider it an internal GPS
for finding enlightenment and revitalization.
On this map, there are eight limbs or disciplines practiced in
sequential order. As the third limb, Asana postures are most
common focal points in yoga. And the wildly popular practice
of Bikram is comprised of 26 postures with two breathing
exercises specifically guided with a verbal script by a teacher.
The room is then heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit with
40-percent humidity. Pranayama—mindful breathing—is a
limb practiced in the more traditional shalas or studios.
“Pranayama is my personal favorite and the most powerful
tool to balance our mind, body and spirit,” said Beth Kupanoff,
a Vinyasa yogini.
“Our breath is the bridge from our body to our mind. It
alone is the tool which can bring them together,” Kupanoff
continued, quoting Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist
monk.
From these eight limbs, 44 practices have evolved over time—
48
and often, when East meets West, offshoots like “Hot Yoga”—
which employs moist heat to work with sports injuries and lack
of flexibility—develop with less strict adherence to precise
asanas, as styles and techniques vary on the individual teacher.
Follow the yellow brick road of yoga to a state-of-the-art,
climate-controlled yoga shala named Yoga Six, the site that
housed Haute Yoga until recently. Owner Bill Koman is a
cancer survivor of two rounds of lymphoma. The St. Louis
native said he found his way to balance with yoga and
meditation seven years ago: “I wanted to branch out a little
and try some different ways to balance my life, says Koman.
“So yoga was one of the things I tried.”
Still continuing with his yoga practice twice a week, Koman
has now turned his passion into an investment, which he is
creating into a chain across the heartland (St. Louis is the site
of the first location) and San Diego. Koman met Haute Yoga
founder, Dino Flacco—who succumbed to prostate cancer in
last year—in St. Louis nearly 20 years ago. Koman admired
Flacco’s studio concepts and became an investor, recently
purchasing the Solana Beach and Carlsbad studios. Adding
these to a Point Loma studio and a 4S Ranch location planned
for 2013, Koman has put his money where his practice is.
“The number six (in Yoga Six) refers to the six degrees of
separation or the idea that everyone in the world is separated
from everyone else by only six links. This interconnectedness,
and the role each of us plays in it, is the common thread that
holds infinite possibilities,” said Laurenn Cutshaw, director of
marketing for Yoga Six. “It also represents the six pillars of Y6:
Yoga Six
JOIS YOGA
body, breath, mind, heart, intuition and the skill of crafting
yoga.”
Classes that reflect the new ownership brand include Y6 Barre
and Y6 Sculpt: yoga-inspired fitness classes. Minor exterior
and interior changes have been made, but what remains at
Yoga Six is the highest intention for the good of all concerned.
Continue north on 101 to the Jois Yoga shala in the energy
vortex of Encinitas. Under the photograph of Sri Krishna
Pattabhi Jois’ clear gaze, Ashtanga is practiced in his tradition.
With the scent of sandalwood and free Chai tea, conversation
is encouraged after class. Children’s Ashtanga classes are every
Wednesday and Saturday. A free South-Indian breakfast is
served Friday mornings after the first 6 a.m. class.
When asked her personal motto, Jois CEO Salima Ruffin
said: “I achieve happiness and peace of mind when my life is
balanced.”
Ashtanga has achieved an international reputation with
a devoted celebrity following—although not for the faint of
heart (literally). Jois’ teachers have studied directly with the Jois
family and are certified after a minimum of four visits to the
Sri K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in the India, the
motherland for yoga.
One of the final closing asanas in yoga is padmasana—
the lotus pose, or the pose of serenity. Devotees click their
heels together in the hopes of finding their way ‘om’ to
transcendental self—and peace and balance come in a single
breath.

2011 10 Best Dressed
Suit of Honor
Leonard Simpson’s 10 Best Dressed Awards honor local philanthropy.
By Whitney Butler | Makeup by Rene Gonzales | Photos by Ed Brown
T
o anyone who has attended one of his extravagant
fashion events or witnessed him host a red carpet
gala, Leonard Simpson is, quite simply, larger than
life. Known for founding the trademarked fashion production
company Fashion ForwardTM, Simpson has appeared on
television for the last two decades, etching his moniker on San
Diego’s red carpet as an expert in his industry.
But his close friends and coworkers know his passion for
fashion and eccentric personality are over-shadowed only by
his generous heart and dedication to charitable causes. Despite
his fame, Simpson still finds time every year to focus on
charitable giving. Months before San Diego’s winter traditions
begin, Simpson is busy planning the “10 Best Dressed
Awards,” a celebration of some of San Diego’s most generous
philanthropists. The award honors the winners for being
positive role models in their communities and contributors to
their perspective charities.
“The beauty of giving and fashion go hand-in-hand,”
Simpson said. “Recognizing people who wear gloves of
compassion and a coat of courage to inspire others with style
to serve a greater purpose in their community is what this
event is all about.”
Guests of this annual high-profile event behold Simpson’s
vision come to life through meticulous attention to detail and
keen eye for all things fabulous. This year’s “Style Land” theme,
52
inspired by international fashions, will tour the world’s fashion
capitals through a show written and produced by Simpson and
Executive Director Joan Jiménez that will be debuting Nov.
30 in the the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. The fifth
anniversary of Simpson’s labor of love will itself raise funds for
some of San Diego’s most respected charities.
Celebrity Mary Murphy from Fox’s “So You Think You Can
Dance”—honorary chair and one of this year’s winners—will
present with Founding Chairwoman Sally B. Thornton and
Fashion Forward vice president Brittany Noelle Simpson,
Leonard Simpson’s daughter. Twenty honorees—10 men
and 10 women—will be recognized and awarded for their
outstanding contributions to local nonprofit organizations.
Thornton explains the selection process: “Well-rounded
personalities with many interests…a passion for perfection
in business and charity, enable them by virtue of their
accomplishments to become role models.”
Charities benefiting from this year’s event include Home
Start, PAWS San Diego, St. Madeline’s Sophie Center, The
ARC of San Diego and the San Diego Historical Police
Association.
The integrated programs at Home Start have been helping
children living in poverty throughout San Diego since 1977.
This private nonprofit agency is dedicated to preventing child
abuse and supporting families with programs that increase

stability and self-sufficiency, keeping families together, and
transforming the lives of children through education with a
staff sensitive to ethnic and cultural difference. Their programs
include family therapeutic services, maternity programs for
homeless or at-risk women, accessible healthcare programs,
and a wide range of treatments for victims of abuse. In
addition to providing counseling or therapy, Home Start also
conducts psychological testing to help children and adults alike
navigate the difficulties of mental or behavioral health needs.
St. Madeline’s Sophie Center has been a place of selfdiscovery and empowerment for thousands of adults with
developmental disabilities, nurturing their potential to become
a greater part of society. For more than 45 years, the five-acre
campus in El Cajon has helped students work though the
challenges of their disability by providing programs that assist
in job training and placement. St. Madeline’s Sophie Center is
committed to high standards of excellence recognized by the
businesses to which it provides services. The nonprofit’s highly
regarded reputation is apparent in the pride of its students and
in their accomplishments.
PAWS San Diego is providing services to people in need of
pet assistance, including food, pet supplies, veterinary services
and resources to keep pets healthy and happy. The benefits of
pet ownership promoted by PAWS support physical, emotional
and social well-being to low-income elderly, chronically ill and

The Arc of San Diego is one of the region’s largest service agencies
dedicated to helping people with disabilities of all ages. Founded
in 1951, Arc specializes in educational programs to inspire social,
economic and personal independence.
The fifth charity to benefit from the black-tie event is the San
Diego Historical Police Association, a nonprofit group of police
officers and citizens dedicated to the preservation and display
of the 160-year history of the San Diego City law enforcement.
The organization has a historical museum located in off College
Avenue, which includes several thousand artifacts and more than
22,000 photos chronicling the history of the SD police department.
These charities will share the total net proceeds of Simpson’s
realized journey through Styleland. The evening is both a
celebration of style and a seasonal gesture acknowledging those
who give back the most, long before the spirit of giving ever catches
the wind.

Dr. Motwani is all about
LASIK, serving San Diego
for 13 years.
MEDICAL NEWS
Jumbo

LASIK, short for “laser-assisted in situ
keratomileusis,” is the most commonly performed
refractive surgery procedure.
Why is it so popular? LASIK can change your
life virtually overnight by correcting your need for
distance and even reading glasses.
FINE magazine sits down with Dr. Motwani to
get the lastest on LASIK surgery.
Can Astigmatism Be Treated?
Yes it absolutely can. It’s somehow become a
commonly held myth that a person cannot have
laser vision correction if they have astigmatism,
when in my opinion the direct opposite is true. I
believe laser correction is the best treatment for
astigmatism, creating the most stable vision the
patient has ever had.
I hate my reading glasses. I’ve been told
that I can’t do anything about this- is that
true?
There are definitely treatments to help minimize
the need for reading glasses, and if done correctly
can dramatically reduce and almost eliminate
their need for reading glasses. In fact, the majority
of my practice historically has been 40-60 year
olds, and vast majority of those have treatment for
reading. My mother is one of those and doesn’t
use reading glasses at all.
I’ve had people tell me that lasik doesn’t
last, it needs to be done every 5-10 years.
That’s actually not true. If done correctly
and accurately, the vast majority of laser vision
correction is permanent. Over the past 13 years,
only a few percent of my patients see long term
change and return for an enhancement.
Manoj Motwani, MD has been practicing Refractive Surgery
for 13 years in San Diego. You can reach his center in La Jolla,
Motwani Lasik Institute, at 858-554-0008. Dr. Motwani
welcomes all questions. Send to [email protected].

GET THANKS, GIVE THANKS
Get Thanks, Give Thanks
Join the trend of ordering your Thanksgiving feast, then sit back and enjoy the day.
By Nicolette Laverty
W
ith Thanksgiving and the holidays fast
approaching, family and friends will soon
gather to dine on a feast fit for kings. It should
be a wonderful time filled with joy, laughter, love and
thankfulness. But our busy schedules can create a time of
high anxiety and stress, leaving little time for the host to
enjoy the day—let alone be thankful.
More and more people are starting a new tradition for
the holidays, trading in crowded grocery stores and long
hours in the kitchen for a more relaxed, stress-free day.
Culinary professionals are only a phone call away, here
to provide you with a fully prepared holiday meal, while
still allowing you the option—should you choose—to take
the credit.
333 Pacifica
A Cohn Group Restaurant, 333 Pacifica is just one such
place that can make a special day worth remembering. The
stylish décor and unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean
and Oceanside Pier provide a backdrop for outstanding
steak, seafood and a popular vodka lounge. Manager
Holly Wickham describes the menu as “seasonally driven”
with “special features daily.”
Now it can be brought to your home. Brian Hyre, the
executive chef for three years, will use his wealth of
culinary knowledge, life experience and passion to prepare
a holiday meal for you with special order requests. Give
him at least two-weeks notice, describe what you would
like and let him custom-create something special for you.

Simply pick up your meal and enjoy being one of your
own guests. | 760-433-3333, cohnrestaurants.com
Prontos
Prontos is a family-owned gourmet market and eatery that
should be given serious consideration. Once the owners of
a landmark Italian restaurant in Toronto, award-winning
chef Gerry Daoussis and his wife Sylvia are now putting
their personal stamp on delicious food in Carlsbad. It truly
is a family affair here. Gerry Daoussis was busy cooking
in the kitchen as his daughter and restaurant manager,
Christina Inman, explained: “My sister, Fabiana Miriac,
is the pastry chef too!”
Each day, special soups, stews, homemade pastas and
more are created. “Thanksgiving is one of our biggest days
of the year,” Inman said. “One of the most popular orders
is a traditional turkey dinner for two, served with a sage
bread stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes and a cranberry
sauce with Grand Marnier. Our gravy is fantastic. Some
people just order the sides from us.”
A menu and order sheets are available online, and they
have already been coming in since early October. Dinners
are available for pick up between 9 a.m. and noon, “so
people can come pick it up warm and bring it right to their
table,” Inman said. | 760-434-2644, prontosmarket.com
The French Gourmet
The French Gourmet has been a long-time favorite in La
Jolla. Flavors burst across palettes from its extensive menu
of oven-ready gourmet foods and outstanding pastries,
cookies and signature cakes. Owner Michel Malecot
has created a special party-planning guide to help you
entertain with ease and without the cost of full-service
catering.
Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, Tourte Milanaise, fillet
of Beef Wellington and party trays are just a few of many
items that can be ordered from a six-page menu. The large
variety will surely please even the most finicky of eaters,
and it is particularly convenient for those who may have
special dietary considerations. Also, an extensive wine list
is available to complement your dining experience. Mr.
Malecot expects to receive over 100 orders this year.
“It’s definitely a growing trend, especially if people want
a really good turkey,” Malecot said. “Ours are free range
and produce up to 40 percent more breast meat. Many
people will have us prepare the whole meal or just the
stuffing with some other dishes.”
Ideally, the French Gourmet would like to have orders
by the beginning of November, but they can usually
accommodate most requests up to three days before,
which is when the majority of people begin coming in
to pick up meals. The French Gourmet can also provide
rentals for china, silverware and tables. | 858-488-1725,
thefrenchgourmet.com
entertain with grace and ease. They have racked up such
awards as Best Restaurant, Best Caterer and Readers’
Choice Award, just to name a few. Owner Mary Kay
Waters opened the catering business in 1990. Together
with Steve Ferguson, executive chef of 18 years, she
oversees a large staff to fulfill what “has always been
such a huge day for us,” according to Terri Wedell, the
marketing and beverage coordinator.
The entire staff is dedicated to hand-making everything,
from stocks to pastries, and uses hormone-free, organic
ingredients. Dungeness Crab Cakes with Lemon Aïoli, Squash
Maple Pecan Goat Crisps and a New England CranberryPineapple Relish are just a few of the things you can order to
