I love this time of the year, the crisp coolness of the air, the changing and falling leaves
and the excitement of rugging up.
For some, keeping warm in winter can be a challenge. We, at Lygon Court, support the
“Off your Back” coat appeal. That’s why we ask you to donate any coat you no longer
need to our charity box located at the court in June.” It will make someone’s winter a lot
warmer. I plan to part with one or two of my warm coats that have been sitting in my
wardrobe unworn for far too many seasons. I didn’t realise I was a hoarder!
Our cover story looks at the return of the redhead and why it’s cool thanks to the likes
of Rihanna and Christina Hendricks to be a redhead even if it isn’t natural.
Wendy Marzino, Hair Director from Raw Element, talks the latest hair styles and colours.
Yes, even here in Carlton we are following the red trend.

RETURN OF
THE REDHEAD
Cyber space went into meltdown last year when one of the most daring pop stars in the music industry,
Rihanna, stepped out sporting a brand new hair colour – a fiery red.
B
logs, Twitter and gossip columns
were filled with debate over the
colour change. It was reported
that there were more blogs about
her hair colour then her music.
Some suggested that it was a ploy to get her new
album noticed. Alicia Keys said of Rihanna on her
website “My look isn’t plotted, like I’m not going
to have red hair because it’s a new record. It has to
be genuine not a branding concept.”
Branding ploy or not, Rihanna is not a stranger
to changing her look.
Recently she’s worn her hair curly, straight,
cropped and bobbed but the now trademark
vibrant red remains.
This wasn’t the first time she has changed her
style or colour, nor will it be her last but why
did this change to a bright red cause so much
debate?
Famous for her flesh, fashion and boyfriends
as well as her music, Rihanna said she changed
her colour to something more daring because
she’d toned down her outfits for a high end
designer look.
Online blogs have reported Rihanna as saying:
“With my hair, I was ready for something new,
something loud, something expressive and
something fun.”
“I’d had blonde hair and it was so boring for me.
Black is still my favourite colour but this time I
wanted something edgier because I didn’t like the
edgy clothes any more. I guess I had to take the
edge to somewhere else – my hair.”
Rihanna’s red hair has highlighted a trend that
seems to have been gaining momentum – the
return of the red-haired siren.
Real or not models and actresses have embraced
the colour. Nicole Kidman recently returned to
her natural hair colour, red, after embracing blonde
for years. And other actresses who may have been
tempted to bleach their naturally red hair are now
finding their natural red tresses in vogue.
Here in Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard,
a natural redhead, embraces the ‘ranga’ term aimed
at natural Celtic redheads.
Aussie actress Isla Fisher, who has film success in
Los Angeles after her roles in Wedding Crashers,
Confessions of a Shopaholic and most recently in
Rango alongside Johnny Depp, hasn’t let her red
hair hold her back. Married to Sacha Baron Cohen
of Bruno and Borat fame she says has always
embraced her natural red tresses. “It was great
being a redhead as a kid because I had something
to blame my temper on,” Fisher reportedly told
People magazine in 2008.
American actress Julianne Moore hasn’t found
her natural red locks a hindrance either. In fact,
Moore’s career looks stronger than ever at the age
of 50 with a role in the movie. The Kids Are All
Right with a 2011 Oscar nomination.
And you don’t have to be a natural redhead
to capitalise on the trend.
Red Hair Facts and Myths
• Less than 4 per cent of the world population
has naturally red hair. Most of these exist
in the U.K, Republic of Ireland and Australia.
• Red hair is a genetic mutation.
• The gene for ginger hair was discovered
in 1995 and received little attention.
• In Denmark it is an honour to have
a redheaded child.
• In Greek mythology redheads turn
into vampires when they die.
• Bees are thought to sting redheads more
than others.
• Redheads don’t turn grey. Their hair turns
sandy then white. They lose their colour later
than people carrying other hair colours.
In the past year actresses Eva Longoria, Hayden
Panettiere and Scarlett Johansson have dyed their
hair red. Former X Factor judge Sharon Osborne
has been a fan of the hue as is super model Karen
Elsom whose russet locks were apparently inspired
by American actress Christina Hendricks. Most
recently, Hendricks known for her role in the
television series Mad Men, was named sexiest
woman in a poll by women for Esquire magazine
in 2010. Hendricks isn’t a natural redhead though
it would be hard to tell. She was born a blonde but
started dyeing her hair at the age of 10.
The red trend has definitely arrived here.
“Vibrant red tones are popular but not the
Rihanna hues,” says Marziano Hair Director, Raw
Element. “It suits most skin tones but it is a brave,
high maintenance commitment to make requiring
regular salon visits.”
After decades of taunts it seems the redhead is
finally rising to the fore.
Isla Fisher
“Once in his life,
every man is entitled
to fall madly in
love with a gorgeous
redhead.” Lucille Ball

URBAN
Even if it is a concrete jungle we inhibit rather than a dark forest, fashion this season has the answers. Lurking in the dark you’ll discover street fighting sleek lines reminiscent of the 80s to jungle greens in military form.
Don’t take any prisoners and beware the animal!

BEAUTY –
ANTI-AGeING
TREATMENTS
If you would like to hold back time or simply keep it at
bay there is a lot more that can be done other then turning
to Botox injections that do nothing to nourish and correct
the skin and mostly end up giving you a distorted face.
La Face Salon has been treating skin
ageing problems for over 15 years and
now offer two of the best anti-ageing
treatments available. They use VPL
(Variable Pulse Light) and botanical
face peels to address their clientele’s
major concerns of deep lines, sun
damage and scarring.
Senior Therapist Nicola Morgan says
that the VPL machine is the answer to
correcting most skin problems.
“The light pulse directly enters the skin
to fix broken capillaries, fade or remove
age spots, help acne and scarring while
plumping up the skin so it has less
noticeable wrinkles,” says Morgan.
If you’ve heard bad reports about lasers,
La Face only have their senior therapists
who are highly trained doing the
procedures.
“We are trained and do ongoing training
and have done certified courses,” says
Morgan.

Before undergoing a recommended three
course treatment of the laser the client
goes through a thorough consultation to
make sure it is appropriate for their use.
“The treatments help even pigmentation
of the skin and remove broken capillaries.
It plumps the skin up and puts the skin
into exercise mode as it metabolises
the skin cells. It gives a fantastic result
under the eyes, on frown lines and deep
wrinkles as it plumps them up.”
“After treatment the skin keeps
responding for months and the results
are long lived,” says Morgan. “You pay a
little more but the results can been seen.”
Before the laser is used, the skin is
cleaned and prepped with a cool medical
grade gel. Photos are taken so the results
can be recorded and eye pads and goggles
worn. A typical treatment for broken
capillaries on nose and cheeks takes
about 15 minutes and for sun damaged
skin about 30 minutes. Three treatments
are recommended two weeks apart and
there must be no direct sunlight allowed
on the face for two weeks. Sun block
must be worn otherwise skin can blister
and become crusty.
An alternative to the laser is the botanical
skin peel. La Face uses Dr Spiller Herbal
Aktiv Peel. It’s an all natural peeling
treatment based of dried crushed herbs.
The treatment is highly recommended
for a special occasion, especially if you
want to plump the skin out. It is said to
refine the skin and increase the skin’s
metabolism.
“It’s an amazing treatment in itself. It’s
one of my personal favourites as you
get fantastic results,” says Morgan. “You
manually massage the herbs into the skin
controlling just where you want the herbs
to go. It’s great for tired skin, under the
eyes, jaw line and for lines around the
mouth. It gives the skin a big pick up”.
After treatment the
skin keeps responding
for months and the
results are long-lived
There is also a bigger version of a five-day
peel offered for more major skin concerns
of pitted and scarred skin, sun damage
and deep lines, especially if you have
been a smoker. However, there is a bigger
down time of five days but the results are
worth it according to Morgan.
“While this treatment does have down
time the results are unbelievable” says
Morgan. “People need to be aware that
whichever treatment they choose, the
skin has gone through change and must
be looked after once they’re had the
treatment. We recommend products to
help them maintain their skin.”

2011
season trends
- a cut above the rest
The start of a new decade always heralds change and there is no better
place to see this than in current hair trends as they are always evolving
and keeping up with the modernist times.
2011’s hair is all about
strong cuts and colours.
Hair will be edgy, eye-grabbing and if not
really short then in the uber-long category.
Models and celebrities are the first to lead
this change before it filters down to the
street. Hungarian supermodel Eniko Mihalit
and English supermodel Lily Cole are great
examples of this, making big changes with their
hair colour this season. Mihalit transformed
her brunette colour to a bombshell red and
Cole swapped her natural trademark red hair
to a very deep brown. So what hair styles can
we expect to see that we haven’t already seen?
Wendy Marziano, Hair Director, Raw Element
recently named in Ozdare Magazine as one of
10 most inspirational women in hair, speaks
about what we can expect to see in hair trends
for the coming Autumn/Winter.
MEN’S HAIR TRENDS
Think television series Mad Men and you get
the picture. “It’s all about being well groomed
with sleek parts, very Cary Grant,” says
Marziano. “This very well groomed look uses
grooming creams and muds without too much
shine. It creates a wet look but don’t use gel.
The finish is more soft matt. Sleek is the look
we are after here.”
WOMEN’S HAIR TRENDS
Short:
“Short hair is really quite soft and feminine
but short, short. We are moving away from the
shaving sections,” says Marziano. An example
of this look is Michelle Williams.
Mid-length:
“Hair has a very heavy feel and look without
a lot of layers. It consists of heavy square
shapes and triangular shaped sections. It is a
look of thick volumed hair that is not layered
and thinned out. The look comes a bit from
the eighties with all the edges. It consists of
strong lines,” says Marziano.
Long Hair:
“This trend has come straight off the catwalk.
Hair is worn super long. This extra length is
achieved using a lot of hair extensions that
look natural. They’re not being used
for thickness but to create that extra long
length,” says Marziano. Angelina Jolie is
a great example of this style.
Colour:
“The camel colours are big this fashion season
and the colours for hair that seem to work
best with camel are the coppers, mahoganies,
really deep chocolate and reds. These are really
vibrant colours, think actress Julianne Moore,”
says Marziano.
“Blondes this season are moving away from
the very light blonde look into the really
warm golden tones. We’re using lots of
gold, lots of caramel,” says Marziano.

“The look at present is a lot of coloured semiprecious stones in white gold. There is a lot of
white gold being used. But our style here in
Australia is not necessarily the same as what
is happening in Europe.
“Pearls are very beautiful and will always be
in fashion but now they are becoming more
affordable to have a set because of the fresh
water pearls. However, there is always the
person who wants the $10,000 strand,”
says Joseph.
They can also make something special
for a client or remodel an outdated piece
of jewellery.
Jewellery making virtually runs through
the veins of father and son team Lorenzo
and Joseph Roccuzzo of Aurum Jewellery.
Both began their careers in their teens and
both are passionate about what they do.
“Even though I have a lot of problems with
my eyes now I still love my job,” says Lorenzo.
“I found it very straightforward because
of my strong background working in dad’s
workshop,” says Joseph. That was nearly two
decades ago.
From the age of 12 Lorenzo worked for a
jeweller in his home town of Ragusa, Sicily,
after school and in the holidays. He was
16 when he left Italy in 1964 for Australia
with his family. He was expected to go
into the family business as a butcher but
after six months he realised he still wanted
to work with his hands and landed a twoyear apprenticeship with the big jewellery
company A.Perelberg & Co in the city. He
started his first business as a retailer at the
young age of 21.
Both Lorenzo and Joseph acknowledge a lot
has changed in design since they both began
their careers because of computers.
Son Joseph grew up in his father’s jewellery
manufacturing business and by 14 also worked
part-time after school but it wasn’t until he
was 18 that he decided to follow in his father’s
footsteps. After his VCE he enrolled in a
Jewellery Making and Repairing course which
entailed the basics of hand-making plates and
forging at Collingwood Tafe.
“Today a lot of things are aided by computers
but when you want to create a beautiful piece
it is best to do it by hand the old-fashioned
way for the best results,” says Joseph.
“You are making something from one piece
of metal. That is the difference from the old
school and the new school today. Today you
are a lot more aided with computers. Some
jobs it’s better to do it by hand and some
jobs you are better off using the computer.
Unfortunately time is money. But I was
taught the old school way and it brings me
enjoyment.” says Joseph.
And, of course, the two men may differ
in personal style, but not their commitment
to perfection.
“To say there is no difference would be a lie
but not in technique and workmanship as
this must be perfect as there is no room for
error. Our approach will always be different
as we come from a different background,” says
Joseph.
Styles also change. To stay up-to-date Joseph
acknowledges that he has to keep changing.
“Not to keep evolving would mean you
become complacent and stale,” says Joseph.
He also acknowledges that jewellery is often
more personal than fashionable but says there
are trends.
‘Jewellery is fashion but it is very personal. It
all depends on the way that you wear it and
how tasteful and elegant it is,” says Joseph.
Lorenzo also says the the prices dictate
whether gold or silver is more popular. And
as gold is very expensive right now they are
working in a lot of silver.
“The market dictates what’s in fashion and
right now fresh water pearls are making a big
impact as they are affordable and look great,”
says Lorenzo.
You will find a lot of original handmade
pieces by the jewellers in their store.
“Our clientele comes from all over. When
they see something in the window it is an
original and they won’t find it anywhere else.
This is the key to what we do best. We create
something new and it might get replicated
once, not 1000 times. It keeps the spirit alive
to do something useful. This is what the
people in Carlton want,” says Joseph.
And sadly, this is where modernisation
is catching up with the old jewellery trade
as the old-fashion way is dying out and
most things will be done by computers
in the future.
“Today jewellers are more spoiled because
they are aided by equipment which makes
it easier. In the old days we had to rely on
skill. There are not a lot of young jewellers
today from the old school. It evolves around
time and money and a lot of effort. So a lot
of the art is being lost. They don’t know how
to do it without a computer. It’s happening
everywhere and you can’t avoid that,”
says Joseph.
The passion is there in my heart,
I don’t do this for the money.

D
VITAMIN
MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
The role of Vitamin D in the body has been
placed under the spotlight recently with
research showing that this vitamin we get
from the sun does much more than just
keep our bones healthy.
We get most of our Vitamin D from
sunshine, but because you have a suntan in
the summer doesn’t mean you can take it
for granted that you have enough Vitamin
D in your body, especially if you use sun
block.
The problem is even when it is sunny you
might not get enough Vitamin D. A study
from the city of Calgary – one of the
sunniest places in Canada – showed that
nearly the whole town’s population had a
vitamin D deficiency and here in Australia
one of the sunniest places on earth an
osteoporosis study conducted in Geelong
last year found over 43 per cent of people
had low vitamin D levels during winter.
So what does having low levels of this
vitamin mean for your health?
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked
to osteoporosis, increased body fat,
unexplained muscle pain, respiratory
infections, a depressed sex drive and even
a 50 per cent increase in the risk of severe
asthma risks.
It was first thought that the vitamin’s role
was just to help the uptake of calcium into
the bones to help prevent osteoporosis.
After further studies on the vitamin it is
now believed it plays many other important
roles.
034 / 380 Magazine / Health
Vitamin D just might be your best
defence against many ailments
including cancer.
• It’s been reported that high D
levels can lower the rate of all
cancers by 77%.
• People with the highest levels
of vitamin D have a 43% lower
rate of heart disease
• Women with high vitamin D
levels have 20% less bone loss
and fractures
• People with high vitamin D
levels have 20% lower rates of
gum disease
• People with the most vitamin
D have a 55% lower rate
of diabetes
• Men with high vitamin D levels
have less skin cancers
• Vitamin D is recognised
as a mood enhancer
In Australia we have taken the message
of not going out in the sun without
sunscreen to heart but at what
cost? Are we risking the chance of
osteoporosis against a melanoma risk?
Without adequate sunlight exposure
your body can not make vitamin D,
which is produced in your skin upon
exposure to ultraviolet radiation in
sunlight. An adequate amount is
considered to be between 15 – 20
minutes a day exposing your arms, legs
and face without sunblock. This is best
done earlier in the day when there is
less risk of sunburn.
To boost your vitamin D you can eat
more of the foods that contain it or
take a good quality supplement. The
foods that contain decent amounts
of vitamin D are salmon, sardines,
beef, eggs, mushrooms, alfalfa and cod
liver oil. Milk, cereals and breads can
be vitamin D fortified. However, it
is virtually impossible to eat all your
vitamin D needs.
There is a pandemic of low vitamin D
in Australia,” says Dr Monica Cooper.
“It is important that most people
should be routinely tested, especially
children and adults of African
descent.”
“The main way to improve your
vitamin D is by spending time
outdoors exposed to the sun.
Food / 380 Magazine / 017
Supplements of 1000 mg tablets are
also available.”
Being tested is as simple as a blood
test. Your level of 25 hydroxyvitamin
D (250 HD) should be at least
80nmol/L, although international
research suggests that 125nmol/L is
the most effective level for reduced
cancer risk.
If you need to take a supplement
it should be in the form of
D3 (cholecalciferol) not D2
(ergocalciferol) which can be toxic.
Recent scientific research is mixed on
how much to take.
Last November the United States
Government updated their mandated
food labels by the Institute of
Medicine to recommend the daily
allowance to 600 international units
a day (up from the previous 400 IUs)
for people aged 1 to 70. Seventy plus
they recommended 800 IUs a day.
The report sets 4000 IUs as the upper
daily limit but not as the amount to
strive for.
This is far below the 2000 IUs a
day that some scientists and health
practitioners recommend. 10,000
IUs are considered to be toxic for the
kidneys.
However if your blood test is a bit low
most doctors will suggest a 1,000mg
tablet a day.
How low your actual levels are may
depend on the lab testing of the
blood. The deficiency could be in the
lab reporting. The test measures the
active form of 25 hydroxy vitamin
D in the body. Some labs may use
20 nanograms as adequate for bone
health while other labs will report
vitamin D levels low if below 30ng.
Serious deficiency is said to be under
20ngs. It’s best to check with your
doctor and ask what your actual results
are if they tell you that they are low.
If your levels are low you will need to
work with your health professional to
find out what is right for you.

Ken’s Oriental
Noodle Bar
Tucked towards the back
of Carlton’s beautiful Lygon
Court is Ken’s Oriental
Noodle Bar. There’s nothing
unusual about the typical
Asian noodle bar except
that it sits in an area that
is traditionally known
as ‘Little Italy!’
To survive here, it must be good - and it is.
Ken the owner and chef, along with his wife
Susie, offer customers exotic tastes of fresh,
fragrant and colourful Asian recipes.
Asian cuisine can be broken into several
regional styles that have roots in the people
and cultures of those regions. The major
types can roughly be defined as East Asian
which encompasses China, Japan and
Korea. South Asian which is derived
from areas such as Burma, India, Sri Lanka
and Pakistan and then the well known
Southeast Asia area which gets its influence
from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam,
Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and
the Philippines. Southeast Asian is the area
that Ken and Susie
Huynh are from.
Ken is from Malaysia and his wife is
from Vietnam and together they
combine their knowledge of Asian
food to create a successful noodle
bar in the heart of Carlton.
Meeting and marrying in Australia over
20 years ago, food is what the Huynh’s
know best as they have always worked in
restaurants but not necessarily together
until they decided to open their noodle
bar in Carlton.
They have made a good team with Ken
in the back cooking and Susie serving out
front for 10 years. “The people are good
here in Carlton,” says Susie. “They like
our food.”

Set in a colourfully wacky version
of 1977, Trophy Wife (French title:
Potiche) gives Catherine Deneuve
one of her best roles in a decade as
a trophy wife-turned-factory boss
in this sparkling adaptation of the
French play. Deneuve plays Suzanna
Pujol, a well-off housewife in thrall to
tyrannical husband Robert (Fabrice
Luchini). When labour trouble erupts
at the provincial umbrella factory
that Suzanna’s father founded and
Robert has taken hostage and seems
determined to run into the ground,
Suzanna calls in her former lover and
renown communist Babin (Gerard
Depardieu) to negotiate with the
workers. Directed by François Ozon,
who last worked with Deneuve in
8 Women.
Award-winning director of stage
and screen Julie Taymor returns to
the work of William Shakespeare
following the stunning Titus with
her epic adaptation of The Tempest.
Deviating from the original text,
Helen Mirren stars as Prospera, a
powerful woman usurped by her
treacherous brother (Chris Cooper)
and sent away with her daughter
Miranda. Aided by the faithful spirit
Ariel (Ben Whishaw) and unwilling
servant Caliban (Djimon Hounsou),
Prospera is gifted the chance at sweet
revenge when those of her homeland
become shipwrecked off her barren
island, unaware of its inhabitants.
Featuring an all-star cast including
David Strathairn as the grieving
King Alonso, Alan Cumming as
the scheming Sebastian and Russell
Brand & Alfred Molina as drunken
fools Trinculo and Stephano,
Taymor’s lavish production breathes
new life into the Bard’s final play.
EXCLUSIVE TO CINEMA NOVA
Inspired by the true story of Felix
“Bush” Breazeale who attracted
national attention in 1938 when
he announced he was planning a
funeral party for himself while he
was still alive. Felix (Robert Duvall)
is a recluse with a dark reputation,
forever gossiped about by the terrified
townsfolk of Roane Country,
Tennessee. Riding into town with a
shotgun and a wad of cash following
a long absence, Felix announces to
the local priest that he’s interested
in paying for a “living funeral party”
at which anyone who’s ever heard
a story about him can come to tell
it. Sensing a big payday, fast-talking
funeral home owner Frank Quinn
(Bill Murray) enlists his gentlemanly
young apprentice, Buddy Robinson
(Lucas Black) to win over Felix’s
business. What Buddy discovers is that
behind Felix’s surreal plan lies a longheld secret involving an acquaintance
of Quinn’s, Mattie Darrow (Sissy
Spacek), that he wants to get off his
chest.

MEN’S HEALTH
New clinic for the boys
Dr George Forgan-Smith would like to see more men take control over their own health
by regularly visiting their general practitioner as a preventive tool against illness.
“A lot of men are less likely to see their doctor
unless something is wrong. Unlike women,
who have regular check-ups such as pap
smears, men don’t have any,” says
Dr Forgan-Smith.
“Men have different health care issues
to women and sometimes they can feel
embarrassed by them which can often be
signals of other processes happening,” says
Dr Forgan-Smith.
“If men would visit their GP without delay
many health issues could be prevented and or
solved,” he says.
“Improving the health of men is an area
of mine that I like to work in and as a
practitioner I’m developing an initiative to
help men address their problems by putting
together a space where men are able to come
and get a comprehensive health check,” says
Dr Forgan-Smith.
“The goal of this clinic is to give the best
bag for your buck. I’ve gathered from the
government a comprehensive program
for men. Men can come in for an initial
consultation for what they want to achieve
such as improved mental and physical health
and or weight loss. The government is very
keen to do all it can for people to have mental
wellbeing,” says
Dr Forgan-Smith.
“Through the government programs we are
able to put our clients in contact with the
right people such as psychiatrists, exercise
physiologists and dieticians. The government
also supports this by offering low out of
pocket,” says Dr Forgan-Smith.
“At this practice there is a strong feeling that
we need to look after the next generation of
men,” says Dr Forgan-Smith.
Lifestyle factors into many of men’s health
issues according to Dr Forgan-Smith and
he feels that men need to be encouraged to
change their ways to improve their health.
He’d like to see more men come into his
clinic, especially after the age of 40, when
risk factors such as poor diet choices, weight
gain and lack of exercise increase the risk of
diabetes, heart attack and stroke. Studies
show that these illnesses can be prevented
with early intervention.
“Unfortunately, lifestyle factors into the
risk of disease and intervening early can
help prevent disease such as diabetes 2 from
developing,” says Dr Forgan-Smith.
Dr Forgan-Smith believes a lot of health
issues can be re-addressed through diet and
exercise and is a keen advocate for changes
here before medication.
“I’m a huge advocate for lifestyle change
before medication for many things and use
of prescription if something needs to be
addressed,” says Dr Forgan-Smith.
Dr Forgan-Smith is not only talking the talk
but has walked the walk when it comes to
health issues for men and being overweight.
“I’m a supportive doctor who has been there
and lost the weight by changing what I chose
to eat and adding exercise into my days which
enabled me to get into a healthy weight range.
One of the doctors I work with helped me in
the right direction and I shed 20kg over a 6
month period.
No faddy diets, no crazy weight loss products.
I just made better choices when it came
to food and added the gradual addition of
exercise and movement in my daily routine,”
says Dr Forgan-Smith.
The good news is that anyone can expect the
same level of success if they just make some
healthier choices believes Dr Forgan-Smith.
“Weight gain doesn’t normally happen
quickly. It is usually over years,” says
Dr Forgan-Smith. “So therefore the weight
loss should be gradual.”
“I teach that you need to make minor
adjustments to make a big impact and where
to focus for maximum benefit,” says
Dr Forgan-Smith.
Dr Forgan-Smith has been a keen follower
of Professor Gary Egger, the man behind the
GutBusters campaign 10 years ago and the
first men’s weight loss program of its type.
Now Dr Forgan-Smith is doing what he can
to help men through his practice and weight
loss website, www.mensweightlossguide.com
On the website men can find support and
advice on how to make changes in their lives
to support improved health.

shopping habits.
I’ve always liked clothes and shoes.
In the 70s I began a career in selling
shoes that lasted 12 years and probably
fuelled my passion for shoes. I’m a slave
to shoes!
My husband calls me ‘Imelda’ in
reference to the shoe queen Imelda
Marcos from the Philippines.
When we downsized at home I had to
get rid of a lot of them such as beautiful
Italian boots and shoes that I had. Now
a lot come from India and China and
are not like what I had. To keep them
protected I still keep them in their
boxes.
Every season I still buy a pair or two. I
was never into the matching handbags
even though I like bags I usually have
an everyday bag and one for special
occasions.
COUNTRY ROAD CARLTON
Nicolette Boot - Black $299
I’ve been working here at Country
Road for 15 years. My family doesn’t
understand why I drive across town to
work and always say ‘why don’t I work
closer to home’ as there is a store much
closer to where we live but I’ve always
loved Carlton and the store. It has such
a relaxed atmosphere and
such a great group of women that I
can see myself finishing my working life
out here.
When I started all that time ago they
were looking for more mature sales
assistants and we had to wear suits.
It’s much more relaxed now and I can
wear what I like in relation to the label
which reflects my style. I always bought
Country Road before
I worked there.
I work in the accessories area. I really
love the accessories, especially the
scarves, gloves and of course, ankle
boots.
It’s really nice when someone comes
in and says ‘I’d like to have what she’s
wearing’ instead of saying ‘I can’t wear
that because of my age.’

OFF YOUR BACK COAT OF ARMS
Staying warm during winter can be
a challenge for some especially if you
don’t have a permanent home or the
cost of living doesn’t allow for one
of life’s necessities like a good quality
warm coat.
Thankfully, anyone in need of a warm
coat to keep the chill out this winter
will be able to request one from the
many charities involved with this year’s
annual coat drive.
The idea for the coat appeal began in
2004 when two women Andy Dinan
and Toni Joel, recognised the need
of the less fortunate who struggled to
keep warm during the colder months
and that most of their friends updated
their coat seasonally.
Operations and Finance Manager,
Salvation Army. “ These women have
been hugely enterprising and should
be congratulated for the ongoing
years.”
“They may be dealing with the issue
of homelessness or family violence
where they have grabbed a garbage
bag of clothes as they have fled.
“In the years 2009 and 2010 after
the bush fires we didn’t hold the coat
appeal because of the sheer quantity of
goods that had been donated. But now
the donations have been depleted and
the ladies are back with a vengeance.”
says Parker.
A donation bin for coats only will be
placed in Lygon Court from June 1 to
June 30.
The charities would prefer the coats
to be cleaned before being placed
in a special charity box that will be
available for the month of June. If
they’re not then they arrange for them
to be cleaned before being handed out.
They put two and two together and
came up with the idea ‘Off Your
Back’ for an annual coat appeal which
they now co-ordinate through the
Salvation Army, Sacred Heart Mission,
St Vincent de Paul and Melbourne
City Mission.
“It’s always an advantage if they are
cleaned before being donated but we
do arrange to get them cleaned before
being presented. We sort them out
and always accept a donation, cleaned
or not. There’s hardly a coat donated
that’s not presentable,” says Parker.
Private schools, businesses and
organisations were approached by
Dinan and Joel with most coming on
board organising their places to donate
coats that were no longer wanted to
designated drop off points.
“One year there was a production
of Jesus Christ Superstar and when
it was finished they donated the
costumes. Within an hour of giving
out the coats there was a parade of
strange attire walking around the
streets. Those who come to us to
request coats are usually in dire need.”
says Parker.
“It started off as something small
and in the words from the classic
Australian song by Paul Kelly, ‘From
Little Things Big Things Grow’, and
grow they did,” says Doug Parker,

Limited
I’m planning on outlaying some serious money on
updating my look as I have a big birthday coming up
but I don’t know where to start. What do you suggest?
If you are talking big dollars then I suggest you start at the head
and work your way down to your feet. Firstly, I’d look to see
whether your hair colour and cut are dated. I feel this ages you
faster than your choice of clothes. Book in for a consultation with
a good hair stylist (can recommend Raw Element in the centre)
and get an appropriate style for your lifestyle, not what’s trendy
right now. Next you should address any skin concerns with a pickme-up facial then look for a fabulous outfit to wear on the night with
the right shoe, of course. You’ll feel much younger than what the
number on your birthday card says.

This hasn’t stopped Kate Moss or any other ageing supermodel

Hepburn Day Bag
Is silver or gold jewellery fashionable?
Jewellery comes down to personal taste and often your skin tone.
Some women love gold but find that sliver looks best on their skin
tone. It’s totally up to you and, of course, what’s on offer. Gold is
expensive at the moment but if you love it and wear it, then it’s
worth it. It will never really go out of date. At present there does
seem to be a lot of silver jewellery and fresh water pearls around.
