I like intense, heavier scents with strong wood elements, often boozy and resinous.
2018 was a big year for Frank Bonnano. His already well-established empire was joined by the massive downtown food-court Milk Market, nearly doubling his already significant restaurant footprint with an additional 16 in-house concepts. It should come as no surprise that the chef has not been spending quite as much time in the kitchen. They say the best way to run a good business is to find people you trust and delegate. Luca and Mizuna — two of Bonnano’s oldest and most esteemed concepts — recently welcomed new executive chefs, both of whom are updating the menus while still preserving the classics that have made the two locations institutions in the city’s fickle dining scene. Click to view slideshow.Blake Carini moved to Denver in 2016, subsequently working at Bistro Barbès for nearly two years before accepting the position at Luca, while Shawn Waters — the executive chef at Mizuna — rose from within. Both chefs have been enjoying some creative wiggle-room, but nothing has changed so drastically as to be beyond recognition. Click to view slideshow.Carini is the sixth executive chef to take the reigns in the 15 years Luca has occupied its Grant Street home. “He has a solid philosophy. He understands me but also knows what he wants to do,” said Bonnano, illustrating the trust shared between the two. Carini took the role in part because of his excitement regarding the location’s robust house-made cheese and charcuterie program. The fresh-stretched mozzarella ($10) is one of four cheeses made on-site daily and is one of the most essential items on the menu. The Luca meatball ($10) is one of the restaurant’s most well-loved items. The dish comes with caramelized onion sugo, pecorino and house-marinara and apparently will always have a place on the list in part due to a very legitimate fear of immediate mutiny if it were to be removed. The squid ink spaghetti — one of Carini’s new dishes — is joined by ‘nduja sugo, shrimp and micro radish. The plate shines in its simplicity, each bold ingredient nicely reinforces the flavor of the other few. Click to view slideshow.Mizuna — the more upscale of the two — is also Bonanno’s oldest restaurant, having first opened its doors in April 2001. The fare relies heavily on French technique, but Mizuna is no bistro. The place leans more towards blended fine-dining. The menu is full of all the expected trappings often associated with white tablecloths — foie gras, sweetbreads, lobster and ostrich litter the menu. Waters’ rise to the executive chef position came organically. After years working on the line at Mizuna, he did a brief stint at Luca before returning around the corner to claim the throne. His familiarity with the dishes and the inner workings of the kitchen has made for a smooth ascension — the menu still continues on its due course under his direction. The foie gras pie ($25) is seared foie gras in savory pie crust, joined by foie gras ice cream, salted caramel and fennel apple jam. The appetizer could easily be a dessert — fortunately, the many sweet elements don’t swallow the foie’s flavor. The veal sweetbreads ($21) are served with king trumpet mushrooms, Semolina chevre and covered truffled Madeira demi-glace. The Beef Wellington ($45) is a great iteration of the English classic. It comes complete with foie gras duxelle, roasted hen of the woods mushroom, braised cipollini and a bright smear of sunchoke purée. Bonanno is in the process of establishing one of the city’s most substantial and longlasting food legacies. Both menus prove that the restaurateur put his trust in the right hands.

“…I’m extremely persistent about the idea that everything needs to be perfect. It’s an ongoing living goal. It’s never an end game,” stated Linda Hampsten Fox, chef and owner of The Bindery. And if you’ve had the chance to dine at her esteemed eatery in the LoHi neighborhood, you know that this standard of excellence is more than words. Denver’s culinary scene is riddled with talented individuals from all corners of the world and like Hampsten Fox, they all likely have a passion for their craft that drives them to aim for perfection in each dish. That being said, there’s something about this seasoned chef that sets her apart from the culinary crowd — and the people that she’s worked for are just the tip of the iceberg. “Jane’s Amazing,” stated Hampsten Fox as she described her time cooking for Dr. Jane Goodall. “She’s an incredible woman that I was fortunate enough to meet and participate and cook for her privately … and support her philosophy around food… she’s such a spokeswoman for the entire earth, not just apes and gorillas in Africa. She’s a humanitarian… I mean, talk about a female leader.” Hampsten Fox was asked to cook privately for both Goodall and Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi -- but it’s not the fact that she’s worked for two of today’s most influential women or the fact that she’s cooked her way from Central America to Europe that sets her apart. What sets Hampsten Fox apart lies in the fact that she’s done all of this as a single mother. “… I had a lot of hard choices to make … ” explained Hampsten Fox when asked about how she balances motherhood and career. “I never said no to work but I had to work late hours when Emma was asleep or while she was at school and organize things so that I could work and continue to be there when she had a volleyball game or an afterschool activity. It’s a bit of a balancing act.” Click to view slideshow.If you walked into The Bindery today, you’d likely notice the elegance of the space. That, coupled with the piles of fresh pastries, bustling energy and magnificent wine wall, it makes a great first impression. What you wouldn’t see, however, are the little steps taken over a lifetime that Hampsten Fox took to make this dream a reality. From humble roots, she slowly but surely put the hard work in to build a beloved eatery. “My mom and my father [were] both from poor immigrant families. My Dad’s family is from Poland and my moms from Czechoslovakia,” explained Hampsten Fox. “My dad came over to Ellis Island, I don’t know exactly what year, but my dad was the youngest of a very large family. There were nine children and then my mom was the oldest of seven, so very humble roots and a very hard working family, but so joyous. I just feel like I had the most amazing family and family life experience growing up that really did center around celebration, family and food.” From those humble roots, Hampsten Fox went on to travel the world — cooking, eating, learning and exploring. From five years in Switzerland to cooking in Italy, France and even founding a cooking school in Mexico, she learned to blend flavors and ingredients and most importantly, she learned balance. That balance shows in dishes like wild boar with dark cocoa and mint — and her ability to craft a delicious dish is nothing short of a magic act. Now, after years of anticipation, she’s finally putting all of those dishes onto paper in the form of a cookbook.
“… As I moved through the world, that collection [of recipes] got bigger and bigger and new recipes would come in unusual places…” said Hampsten Fox as she described the process of writing a cookbook. “This cookbook I feel is very approachable… You’ll find quite a variety of things and it’s based on seasons and certain ingredients within the seasons… It’s organized in a fun way and it’s something that feels like The Bindery, I wanted it to be something that was very approachable in that you utilize it every day in some way or another.” If you’ve been in the restaurant industry, whether as a waitress, line cook, host or dishwasher — you’re likely delighted to see the executive chef tasting each dish and examining each garnish. Hampsten Fox can be found stirring, mixing most morning and nights at The Bindery. She’s worked for remarkable people, traveled to unmatched places and succeeded in influencing the city’s culinary scene in ways that few first-time restaurant owners have — and above all, she brings authenticity and excellence to Denver’s culinary scene. You can visit Hampsten Fox at 1817 Central St., Denver, from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Tuesday to Thursday, Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Her restaurant is closed on Monday. via https://303magazine.com/2019/01/the-bindery-chef-linda-hampsten-fox/ The era of the ‘90s brought us a new kind of rock music from bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana and the rise of the corresponding fashion trend heavily defined by its comfortability. Plaid, flannel, rocker t-shirts and distressed denim were must-have closet staples and men fled toward the curtained haircut. Grunge celebrity couple, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, were favored by the masses, who emulated them at every turn. Since then, aspects of grunge fashion have resurfaced in the fashion world. This year, local designer Tyne Hall debuted her Denver Fashion Week (DFW) Fall 2018 collection in celebration of the genre, proving that Denver grunge has a softer side. In addition, Marc Jacobs recently recut the designs from his Spring 1993 Perry Ellis show — a career-defining collection that celebrated the grunge scene and made him a star. Together, designers such as these are paving ways to keep grunge alive in the fashion world and reinvent some of pop culture’s most impactful trends. ![]() Hunter Green Jacket, Price Upon Request, Tyne Hall T-Shirt, Price Upon Request.

There, she exhibited how stylish, cool and modern grunge can be and how it continues to be relevant in fashion. Utilized in Hall’s designs were pops of plaids, hunter greens, blacks, plastic flowers — perfectly conjuring up images of Drew Barrymore’s ’90s flowery style — leather, pops of metal studs and paper clips woven throughout the designs. In addition to the intricate details in Hall’s work, she also softened the grunge aesthetic with feminine cuts, waist-hugging silhouettes, sweetheart necklines and spaghetti straps. For her, this collection was a celebration for not only grunge but a musician special to millions. “This collection began as a tribute to Chris Cornell,” Hall said. “He had this amazing voice that evoked so much emotion and he was truly one of my favorite singers. As we approached the one year anniversary of his death, I really felt that the best way for me to process it was through creating a collection as a nod to this musician and music that I loved so much. Grunge was this rebellion against excess and the status quo so I wanted to design a collection that celebrated the attitude of the music that Chris and others created.” ![]() Hunter Green Blouse, Price Upon Request.

To style this timeless, yet updated softer side of grunge Denver is flocking to, combine grunge staples like form-fitting flannel and leather with feminine silhouettes, bright color, floral designs and contemporary accessories. Focus on structured dresses, tight-fitting pants, glam accessories and high heels for a modernized feminine styling approach instead of concentrating on the slouchy aspect of grunge to completely revolutionize the look. Hall did this seamlessly as she turned billowing flannels into beautiful dresses, unshapely leather into gorgeous jumpsuits and dresses and basic paperclips into exquisite accessories. Take the look a step further with a leather jacket and metal detailed handbag. Another option is to pair distressed denim or leather pants with a dainty button-up blouse with feminine details — such as ruffles, pearls or a high neckline. This idea of a softer side of grunge is all about the incorporation of feminine and grunge styling together as one. In addition to grunge fashion, grunge beauty continued to dominate fashion runways of late. Black lipstick and heavy black eyeliner popped up in numerous editorial campaigns and collections. For this shoot, the 303 team completed each look with deep black smokey eyes and the perfect pop — a ‘90s inspired brown lip. To achieve the complete look, we strategically placed metal studs in the hair and opted for a sleek low ponytail. For a more feminine approach, a candy apple red lip pairs perfectly with any grunge outfit as it exhibits major juxtaposition and attitude. Photography by Rebecca Grant. Model Kayla Raine Armstrong.

One of those has already sent a buzz through Denver, an exhibition featuring Georgia O’Keeffe. Though only eight of her paintings will be showcased, the show is also about her influence on other painters and contemporary painting in general. Opening February 14 (though the opening reception is sold out) and on view until May 26, Aftereffect: Georgia O’Keeffe and Contemporary Painting offers a view of the famous painter as an innovator and pioneer. Don’t go to the MCA expecting to see O’Keeffe’s “Santa Fe” style of work. Paintings of hers that used the New Mexican scenery as inspiration are beautiful and meaningful, but the point of the exhibition is to amass an idea of O’Keeffe not as a landscape painter but as a pivotal person in the modern abstraction movement. Although the “Santa Fe” style is mainly what she is known for, her body of work during her lifetime presented new uses of space, framing and other compositional tactics that are widely used today. Aftereffect was influenced by the Whitney Museum of American Art’s exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction. Part of Whitney’s exhibition was focusing on how O’Keeffe formed and participated in a style of modernism that, though it was at roughly the same time as Jackson Pollock and some of the Abstract Expressionists, distinguished itself apart from those artists. Click to view slideshow.The MCA’s version of an O’Keeffe retrospective won’t only show O’Keeffe paintings — it will demonstrate how her style continues to inform modern and contemporary painters. The other artists displaying work (inspired by O’Keeffe) are Jeffrey Gibson, Mary Heilmann, Emily Joyce, Matt Connors, Carrie Moyer, Mary Weatherford, Lesley Vance, Corey Drieth, Loie Hollowell, Gretchen Marie Schaefer, Leslie Smith III and Melissa Thorne. -- For more information about the exhibition, go here.

It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, while the texture was smooth, finely-milled, and blendable, though it was a little thinner than ideal. Without a primer, it sheered out a bit on bare skin and read more muted, whereas primer helped to ensure it stayed true-to-pan and pigmented. On its own, the eyeshadow stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$19.00/0.04 oz. - $475.00 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to have "rich, high-impact color" that is "lightweight" and has "increased blendability." Like most larger ranges, there are winners and losers, and some of how they perform can be related to the type of finish. The mattes are soft, slightly dusty in the pans (or not at all) with medium to opaque, often buildable, color coverage. The satin and metallics tend to be smoother, more blendable, and more pigmented with less effort; NARS does the these lower shimmer finishes particularly well, which just looks "melted" on the skin as they lay down so smoothly and have a great shine. Most shades applied better on my lid than swatched on my arm, which has been something seen across NARS' eyeshadows for years and didn't change with the recent update to their powder eyeshadow formula. On average, they lasted between seven and nine hours on me without primer. They did apply well over primer and stayed on well for 14 hours with minimal fading. Worth noting: the updated formula and packaging resulted in a product decrease from 0.07 oz. per pan to 0.04 oz. The single eyeshadows received a more noticeable price drop (from $24 to $19) but the duo eyeshadows could be priced better (from $36 to $35). Browse all of our NARS Eyeshadow (2018) swatches. ![]()

Of course, as the name suggests, these festivals are dedicated to the less mainstream aspects of the performing arts — including puppetry, theatrical performances, spoken word poetry and burlesque, to name a few. It started in 1947 at the Edinburgh International Festival, when groups of artists performed “on the fringe” of the main stages. Now, a Fringe Festival is unconstrained by theme or genre and aims to expose innovative artists to the public who challenge the status quo. All over the world, these collaborative events give artists an opportunity to showcase what they can do without needing exactly the right connections in their respective art communities. Until this year, Denver did not host a Fringe Festival but come September that will no longer be the case. Denver’s first Fringe Festival is due to the efforts of the Colorado Theatre Guild, an organization committed to live theatrical productions in Colorado, and furthermore, committed to connecting the creatives and those who appreciate the creatives’ work. The Guild started in 1979, and though it changed names and direction a few times in the decades since, the underlying mission has always been the same — to help Colorado-based producers, artists, venues and presenters connect and share information. The first annual Denver Fringe Festival will run September 20 through 29 at various venues around RiNo and LoDo. But, in the next month, the Colorado Theatre Guild is looking for artists and venues to apply to be involved. Submissions run from February 1 until March 31, and can be accessed here. According to the official press release, “Productions may include any work from the diverse spectrum of the performing arts, must be less than 90 minutes in length, and must be produced by a Colorado-based artist or company. Preference will be given to productions that are immersive, interactive, or experiential in nature; adaptable to varying environments, and/or challenging to audiences.” Fringe Festivals around the world — from the legendary one in Edinburgh to the more local one in Boulder — offer artists the chance to express themselves without censorship or judgment from established art galleries and museums. They have proven to be breeding grounds for emerging artists and performers, and it’s about time that Denver took up the trend. -- For more information about the festival, or to apply as a volunteer, artist or venue, go here. via https://303magazine.com/2019/01/denver-fringe-festival-artists/ ![]() QuintessenceChanel Quintessence Les 9 Ombres Multi-Effects Eyeshadow Palette ($70.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette featuring a mix of gold, green, neutrals, and blue. It’s a bit of a faded, springtime rainbow of hues. I was impressed by the texture, pigmentation, and wear of the majority of the palette. Deeper shades like #8 (deep blue) and the inky gray (#9) needed more work to blend out along their edges but definitely some of the easiest variations I’ve tried. The shimmery shades in the palette–except #6–were very shiny and easy to work with. ![]()

Running February 6 through the 18 at the Elaine Wolf Theatre, the DJFF’s expansion this year not only includes more films of varying genres, it also is branching out and partnering with other powerhouses in the indie film scene in Denver, like Alamo Drafthouse Sloan’s Lake and the Sie FilmCenter. As with most film festivals, the DJFF’s screenings will be followed up by talkbacks and filmmaker Q&As, to enrich the viewers’ experience of the often subtitled movies. During the nearly two week festival, there’s a chance to catch 44 films, including documentaries, narratives, shorts, television episodes and even web series. There will be 30 Colorado premieres, 10 Denver premieres and eight films by first-time filmmakers. Of the 44 films, 13 come from women filmmakers who tackle everything from Hasidic volunteer ambulances in Brooklyn (93Queen) to a movie about autism with a cast of non-professional actors with autism (Keep the Change). During the first weekend, two films — one a feature length and the other a short preceding it — on Friday night are by women filmmakers that touch on stories associated with the Holocaust. The feature-length documentary is Nana by 25-year-old director Serena Dykman, who sets out on a journey with her mother to retrace the steps of her grandmother — a survivor of Ravensbruck, Malchow and Auschwitz. Dykman’s grandmother not only survived, but she was also forced to translate for notorious “Angel of Death” Josef Mengele. Nana, although it will be premiering in Denver for the first time during the DJFF, has won 15 audience and documentary awards at other international festivals before coming to Colorado. The short film before Nana shares some traits with the feature-length documentary, in that the filmmaker’s grandmother is a Holocaust survivor with a captivating and horrifying story. Oma is directed by Daniella Rabbani and stars the ever-lovely Lynn Cohen (Walden, Sex and the City). Altogether, the DJFF represents 18 countries with nine award-winning films — which means that viewers have the opportunity to watch films that may never stream on Netflix or Hulu. And these films aren’t just weird indie films (well, not all of them at least), they are movies that continue to change the perception of “going to the movies” from mindless entertainment to deeply-moving cinematic arts. Beyond the scope of cinema, the DJFF also presents viewers with a variety of takes on Jewish culture, Jewish history and how both of those intertwine to create the vastly different landscapes of contemporary Jewish life. Among those from outside the US, there are four featured films in the festival that were submitted as Foreign Language Films for the 2019 Academy Awards — Sobibor (Russia), The Cakemaker (Israel), The Waldheim Waltz (Austria) and The Interpreter (Slovakia). These screenings are especially the right way to catch films you may hear about but never actually see for rent or screening at your typical movie theater. The opening night of the festival on Wednesday, February 6 includes a VIP reception at the JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center starting at 6 p.m., with The Last Suit screening after. That film follows an older Jewish tailor who travels to his original birthplace of Poland after living in Buenos Aires. After that, all screenings of films are available for individual purchase or through a festival-long pass. “The Denver Jewish Film Festival provides an opportunity for anyone in the greater Denver community – people of all faiths and backgrounds, film lovers and international film buffs – to watch a variety of one-of-a-kind movies that are not available in other theaters in Colorado,” said Steve Wilson, executive artistic director of the JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center. And at this time in our country, a couple weeks of unity despite faith, background or political stance might be just what the doctor ordered. -- For more information, the full festival lineup and to purchase tickets, go here. via https://303magazine.com/2019/01/denver-jewish-film-festival-women-2019/ |
