It has been three months since the debut of Bow & Arrow Magazine’s first issue. When we launched in December, we did not expect the overwhelming amount of support and positive feedback that we have received. The enthusiastic response has helped keep us driven in our own mission of encouraging others to aim high.

At Bow & Arrow, we talk a lot about inspiration. We look for things that emerge from nowhere, hit us hard, and wake us up from the mundane daze that is so easy to fall into. We’ve all been there. We’ve all experienced the desire to possess exactly what everyone else has. Look at the trends: North Face, Ugg, Sperry, Apple. It is human nature to imitate, to want to belong, to show your status. But there is something else in each and every one of us, too––a yearning to be different, to stand out, to change the way people see things. While this desire lives on the surface for some, others need to be woken up to it.

This spring we turn to what inspires us most: you!—our readers, contributors, family, friends and fans. We want to challenge you to take a good, long, hard look at yourself. We want to dare you to eliminate the term “day-to-day” from your vocabulary. We want to encourage you to take risks, to love yourself and your style. In this issue we explore the undertaking to creating the Custom You. From custom fit to custom table arrangements, we encourage you to find the alarm clock in you and wake up to something new. Happy Spring!

THE SEARCH IS OVER.Perfectly-fitted clothing for every body type

For most women, the search for the right fit is almost like Indiana Jones’ hunt for the Holy Grail. This story often ends with us settling for clothing with a “just okay” fit. While we may not be as lucky

as Indy in our own search, one Twin Cities designer is setting out to change the end of this age-old tale.

Robin Shaw, designer and owner of Robin’s Nest, opened the custom-fit apparel shop in the Fall of 2011. The concept for Shaw’s business mixes fashion and technology in a way seen nowhere else in the world. Walking into the bright and open boutique provides for a unique experience. You won’t find racks or shelves of clothing, but instead samples of Shaw’s designs on mannequins throughout the store. As you make your way to the back of the shop, there is a private dressing room that houses Shaw’s secret weapon and the magic behind Robin’s Nest: a body scanner.

At first this futuristic-looking piece of equipment appears intimidating, but the process is safe, simple, and quick. After just under a minute, the laser scanner takes your body’s exact measurements. Shaw generates an avatar from the data and creates a garment custom fit to you.

“My reason for starting Robin’s Nest was because I felt that this market was not being served,” says Shaw. According to the fashion maven, “Most women do not fit the standards set in the 1930s. Yes, the 1930s. It wasn’t until the year 2000 when TC2, a body scanner research company, did a new study of 10,000 women across the nation and helped to update the sizing standards.”

The designs are updated on a seasonal basis and can also be ordered online once your measurements have been taken. Custom designs can also be commissioned by request. “My concept is to have a store where women of all shapes, sizes, and ages can comfortably order clothing and know that it will fit perfectly, “ says Shaw, who is passionate about making her customers happy. “I want them to walk out of my store confident that their bodies are beautiful!”

Getting your exact measurements makes

all the difference!

Robin’s special software gets exact measurements of over 100 unique body dimensions. This

precision allows clothing to be sized the way it needs to be for your individual body ––which is

something you can’t always say about clothing you buy off a department store rack.

Page 11: Bow & Arrow Magazine Issue Spring 2013

Fabrics, textures, and color, oh my!

Robin has many fabric providers she chooses from, making it possible for

you to have any piece of clothing you can dream up!

“When something fits well, your entire demeanor changes and you have a more positive outlook on life. I want to help people live happier lives, so when I can help make someone’s wardrobe a little bit nicer, I feel ecstatic!”

1. Strained seams mean that a garment is too tight.

2. Fabric should generally skim the body.

3. Whenever clothing is too tight there will be “lines” in the fabric to point to the problem area. For example, if a shirt is too tight over the bust you will see lines pointing towards the strained button fanning outwards.

4. When buying long-sleeved shirts, the sleeve should end about a 1/2” below the base of your thumb, so that it covers your wrist.

5. When buying pants, the front of the pant leg should end at the top of the foot. The back of the pant leg should hang about 1/2” off the ground when standing barefoot.

6. You should never have to suck in to get your pants on. If you do, they are too small.

7. Never buy something in a smaller size than you are, and say that you are going to fit into it “someday.” That “someday” will not arrive and you will be left feeling awful about your body and about the money you spent.

8. Don’t buy super loose-fitting clothing with the plan to hide your body. This does not work. In fact, it backfires. People will think that you are larger than you really are.

9. It is always better to disregard what size the garments are as every clothing company does their sizes differently. Just make sure that you get a garment that feels comfortable to wear.

White Coconut Cake2 1/4 cups cake flour1 1/4 cups sugar2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoons kosher salt3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 2-inch pieces6 egg whites1 cup coconut milk2 cups sweetened shredded coconut1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

1. Position rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.2. Sift the cake flour into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the sugar, baking powder,

and salt and beat on low speed for a few seconds to combine. Add the butter pieces and beat on low speed for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites, coconut milk, and 1 cup of the shredded coconut and whisk until thoroughly mixed. Use the tip of the knife to scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean into the coconut milk mixture. Whisk until the vanilla seeds are well dispersed.

4. Add about half of the coconut milk mixture to the flour mixture and beat on medium-high speed for about 1 minute, or until combined. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl well. Add the rest of the coconut milk mixture and beat on medium speed for 20 to 30 seconds, or until the batter is well mixed, light, and fluffy. Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans.

5. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are firm and golden brown and spring back when pressed lightly. Let cool completely in the pans.

Coconut Frosting1 1/2 cups sugar6 egg whites1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into 2-inch chunks1 teaspoon vanilla extract1/4 teaspoon kosher salt2/3 cup coconut milk

1. In a small heat-proof bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg whites to make a thick slurry. Place the bowl over (not touching) simmering water in a saucepan and heat, whisking occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture is hot to the touch. It will thin out a bit as the sugar melts.

2. Remove from the heat and scrape the mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer. Fit the mixer with the whip attach-ment and whip on medium high speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture becomes a light, white meringue and is cool to the touch. Turn down the speed to low and add the butter, a few chunks at a time. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the butter is thoroughly incorporated and the frosting is smooth and glossy. It will look curdled at first, but don’t worry; keep whipping and it will come together.

3. Add the vanilla extract, salt and coconut milk and whip for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the coconut milk is thoroughly incorporated and the frosting is smooth.

Lemon Cake1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon lemon zest2 cups sugar2 large eggs plus 3 large egg yolks1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice1 cup low-fat buttermilk1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8-by-2-inch cake pans, tapping out excess flour. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.

2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, beat in eggs and yolks, one at a time. Beat in 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Alternately beat in flour mixture and buttermilk beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until combined.

3. Divide batter between pans; smooth tops. Bake until cakes pull away from sides of pans, 32 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges of pans and invert cakes onto a wire rack.

4. While cakes are baking, bring remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add lemon slices and simmer 25 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer lemon slices to a waxed-paper-lined plate. Stir remaining 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice into syrup.

5. Using a toothpick, poke holes in warm cakes on rack. Brush with lemon syrup. Let cool completely. Prepare frost-ing, substituting 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for vanilla extract. Frost cooled cakes—filling with lemon curd and raspberries, if desired—and top with candied lemon slices.

Whipped Frosting3 large egg whites3/4 cup sugarPinch of salt1/3 cup water2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, salt, and water. Cook over medium, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved (or mixture registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until glossy, stiff peaks form (do not over-beat), about 3 minutes; reduce speed to low, add lemon juice, and beat just until combined. Use immediately.

Emerald. It’s the color of the year according to our friends at Pantone. So you rush out, looking to add a hint of green to your closet. You find a flirty cocktail dress that fits like a glove, but for some reason it just doesn’t do it for you. What’s wrong? It’s not the style and it’s not the size. So it must be the color.

Color can make or break an outfit. Unless you live in a mirror-less world, you’ve likely realized you look better in some colors more than others. What looks best on you is determined by your natural coloring. The combination of your hair color, skin tone and eye color assigns you to one of four defined color palettes: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.

Each season intuitively contains colors that are found in nature during those times of year. Spring features warm yellows and bright corals and Summer includes blue-greens and rosy pink. Autumn owns the rich warm tones of burnt orange and olive green, while Winter brings clear icy blue and true white to the table.

When you are wearing a color that suits you, the onlooker’s eyes will be drawn to your face. These colors will enhance your best features—your skin will look even and smooth, your eyes will pop, and your hair will look healthy and natural. Wrong colors will wash you out and detract from your face. Viewers will be likely to notice the color before they notice you. The right color should fade to the background, bringing your face forward. So while that green dress may look fabulous on your best friend, it could be the wrong hue for you. Take heart, for while it may not be true emerald, there is a green for you—it’s the shade and intensity that matter. The fact of the matter is that true emerald is only going to be the right color for you if you are a Winter. Blue–green for summers, turquoise for Autumns, and a yellow-green for Springs. So how do you go about discovering your color season? Surprise! You probably already have a natural inclination toward one. If people compliment you while wearing certain colors, you are more likely to buy more clothing in that shade. Take a look in your closet and see what you wear the most. What are your favorite pieces to wear?

Page 31: Bow & Arrow Magazine Issue Spring 2013

More importantly, what colors do you feel best in? This will point you in the right direction, however, it is just the start. Many people wear black because they feel it is slimming. Little do they know, if they are warm-toned, they would look better in brown. Cream becomes popular in the colder months, but if you are a Summer or Winter, this color will fight your naturally cool skin tones. To be sure what colors are best for you, take a look at your hair, skin and eyes without makeup in natural daylight. If you color your hair, take a peek at your roots. (Disclaimer: it is difficult to tell your natural coloring if you dye your hair or are tan from artificial tanning. Try to asses your hair roots and find an un-tan part of your body.) The first step is to determine if you have warm or cool toned skin. A simple method is to test whether or not you look best in gold or silver. Try on a piece of silver jewelry. Does it fade into your complexion or does it jump out at you? Try a gold necklace. Does your eye automatically zero in on the jewelry or does the necklace complement your ensemble? If gold looks best, you will be either a Spring or Autumn. If silver flatters you more, then you will be deciphering between Summer and Winter.

Confirm your metallic choice by identifying the undertone in your skin. This will be the most important factor in finding your color season. The combination of three pigments, melanin (brown), carotene (yellow) and hemoglobin (red) determine your one-of-a-kind skin tone. Winters and Summers have blue and pink tones, and Autumns and Springs have creamy and golden tones. Take a look at your wrist or palm, with a bright white paper behind it. Do you see blue or blue-pink, or golden or orange? Do you have freckles? Are they gray brown or golden brown? If you aren’t sure what undertone you see, compare it to someone else’s wrist. This will often, by contrast, help you see your base coloring. Once you have determined if you are cool or warm toned, you can begin to establish your season. Winters have high-contrast features, while Summers’ features are softer. Autumns are flattered by rich browns, while Springs look best in softer, clear hues. The following pages will give you an idea of color palettes best for each season. Which colors look best on you? Which colors play up your features, rather than distracting from them? The goal is to find colors that complement

your natural coloring. Have your friends help you determine this. Try on clothing from all palettes to help decipher. You want someone to say, “Wow, you look great today,” rather than “Wow, that is a bright dress.” For, in the latter case, the dress is wearing you, rather than you wearing the dress. To see which season you are, follow our guide on page 34. Now, after determining your season, you may feel that you can wear some colors from all of the palettes, which could be true. There are indeed colors that are relatively flattering to everyone’s coloring: Summer’s soft white (not yellow-white), Spring’s corals, and certain shades of aqua. Additionally, certain colors may be more popular at a certain point (hello, emerald), and you will likely want to wear them. It is important to remember to find the shade of that color which best suits you. You will still always look your best in your season’s colors, which will in turn make you feel your best. And isn’t that what fashion is all about?

the latest trends and making them apparent in her wardrobe. If she’s

not working at her fashion-based job, you can be sure to find her roaming

around a local boutique. She saw the printed pants, chunky accessories, and

vibrant clutch, and knew they were the must-haves for spring.

Peace, love, and rock n’ roll. This lady has the appropriate amount of classic grunge with her leather jacket, link-chained purse, and high-heeled stilettos. She’s with a friend, on the way to the Imagine Dragons concert, where she’ll rock out to some of her favorite jams. What a rad look, for such a fun night filled with great music.

Lattes on Saturday are her special treat before she begins her to-do list. Her

striped scarf, thick-rimmed glasses, and slouched bag were an easy decision

for this casual, yet put-together look. If you think her design work is great, just

wait until you see her layering skills. They’re impeccable.

It’s half past ten, and the nightlife has begun. She always pulls off just the right amount of glam for a night out on the town. The best part is, it comes so easy to her. The tucked-in shirt and gray tights bring out her sophistication, and the splash of red from her handbag adds just the right amount of flair. This ensemble will have everyone asking, “Where’d you get that outfit?”

During the month of February, we partnered with Persona Custom Clothing to sponsor a search for the first ever, Mr. Bow & Arrow. We were looking for someone who needed

a new suit and could tell us why a new look would give them a boost. Entries ranged from “My muscles are too big for store-bought suits,” and “I just started my own business,” to “This Oscar the Grouch t-shirt isn’t professional enough” and “I don’t have time to shop for a new outfit.” Sweeping the competition however, Paul boldly entered the contest with the following submission:

“At 25, I still get mistaken for a college sophomore majoring in some sort of engineering. Clearly, my dirty hair, raggedy t-shirt, and peace sign are not going to help me if I want to be taken seriously as a Student Affairs professional. I need help, and how you may ask? A custom suit along with a stylish makeover from Persona Custom Clothing and Bow & Arrow Magazine would for sure do the job. Help me to be classy by voting for me.”

After the voting period was over (it really was quite the landslide, due to Paul’s dedicated fan base), Paul was deemed our Mr. Bow & Arrow, and we quickly got down to the business of getting him a fitted, Persona Custom suit, new hairstyle, and some tips on making an impressive drink (because we all know you can’t wear a classy suit without holding a classy drink!). He wasn’t quite sure what he had gotten himself into by winning the contest, but with the help of Persona, he was ready to suit up and get started. Persona Custom Clothing is a Twin Cities based company specializing in affordable, custom suits. Founded in 2012, the company serves to redefine how men shop for suits and other custom clothing. Persona Custom Clothing represents a unique shift in men’s desire for custom clothing and provides an entire styling experience for its clients. Its unique business model allows them to provide the experience of creating a custom suit from the ground up, but only at a fraction of the typical cost for custom clothing. The consultants will meet you at your home or office, take you through the details of a customized suit, show you the options available to you, and then take your individual measurements before sending everything off to the manufacturer. Within just four weeks, the new suit arrives, and you will never go back to purchasing off-the-rack suits. Paul was, admittedly, a little overwhelmed with the number of custom specifications available with his jacket, pants, shirt, and tie, but ended up creating a one-of-a-kind suit that fit both his personality and his body. The lapels, stitching, piping, cuffs, vents, pockets, and more were all on the list of customizations, resulting in a final product that couldn’t suit him any better.

Once the suit had arrived, we went to Evolution salon in Uptown, Minneapolis where Paul’s ‘do got a stylish update. His previous style was a little out of control (see pre-haircut photo, left), so Sarah, a stylist at Evolution, worked her magic to give it more definition and manageability—key details for an on-the-go professional like Paul. The Mr. Bow & Arrow transformation day culminated with a mixology lesson at the Social House from Matt Ruohu, a bartender at multiple Twin Cities locations. Matt decided to teach Paul how to make the Bow & Arrow Elder-Fashion: a contemporary, summer version of the classic Old Fashioned (see photo, below). To make this exciting drink yourself, see page 54. We couldn’t have been happier with the man selected as our first ever, Mr. Bow & Arrow. Paul had a wonderful experience, and we were glad to treat him to a new suit, new haircut, and new drink mixing skills. A big thank you goes out to all who made the process possible ; we couldn’t have done it without you!

FIT MATTERS. With a full profile of body measurements, a custom suit is made specifically for your body. With an off-the-rack suit, it’s especially difficult to get that tapered look through the torso. No matter what your body shape is, when your suit is made to measure, it’s going to make you look great.

BUTTON STYLES. From one to four buttons, each one can send a different message. A one-button suit is trendier and can create a great casual vibe. Two buttons are classic and look great on almost any body shape. Three and four buttons are best for taller men.

LAPELS. Slim is in, but it’s certainly not for everyone. It adds a more modern look to a suit. If you’re doing slim, it’s best to match your tie width to your lapel. So, that means no ultra-wide ties when you’ve got a slim lapel.

POCKETS. With a custom suit, the options are all yours. Have you seen that little pocket above the right pocket on some newer suits? It’s a European trend called a “ticket pocket.” It’s a fun customization that makes a suit your own.

CUSTOMIZATIONS. With over 30 customizations (see partial list below), it can be a bit overwhelming. Piping, liners, pockets, monograms and more. The role of a Style Consultant is to guide you through each of those, creating a custom suit that’s uniquely yours and one that you’ll be proud to wear.

The Bow & Arrow Elder-fashion is a contemporary, summer twist on the Old Fashioned. The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail dating back to the 17th century, referring to a cocktail created “the old

fashioned way,” which was just sugar, spirit, and bitters. (If anyone muddles an orange, maraschino cherry and adds sweet vermouth, they are way, way wrong). We start our cocktail the same way with two (2) ounces of bourbon. For the Bow & Arrow cocktail I chose Basil Hayden’s for its light body, gentle bite and light citrus/honey notes. The golden amber color and light proof will make a very pretty summer cocktail when paired with the St. Germain. Bourbon is very hot right now, and this one’s recipe dates back to 1796, made in Clermont, Kentucky. The first twist we do on this drink is substituting St. Germain for sugar, or simple syrup, as the sweetener. St. Germain is an artisanal elderflower liqueur made in France. During a brief, 4-6 week spring period, elderflower blossoms are handpicked and macerated fresh for best flavor, while other liqueurs may use frozen or freeze dried ingredients. This pick creates the entire year’s worth of St. Germain, making this a handmade favorite only offered in limited quantities. St. Germain suggests subtle hints of passionfruit, pear, citrus and grapefruit flavors without having any single flavor shine through stronger than another. The sweetness here is misleading, as it only has about half the sugar content of most liqueurs. Obviously the bottle is attractive and elegant enough to pique someone’s interest on your back bar. It is also a perfect bottle for every novice mixer; I call it bartender ketchup, because you can pair it with almost anything to make a crisp, delicious drink on the deck this summer. We will balance the sweetness out with bitters and citrus. Many old fashioned-style cocktails will get angostura bitters by default, however, the Bow & Arrow Elder-fashion calls for Peychaud’s bitters. Peychaud’s bitters is a classic New Orleans recipe created in 1830. It is lighter in body and flavor than Angostura, with more floral aroma which benefits the appearance and flavor of this drink. (Angostura in drinks tends to make them very, very dark.) Peychaud’s should be available at almost all liquor stores because it is a necessary ingredient in any Sazerac cocktail.

The orange peel coin gives a very nice aroma and mouthfeel to the drink. Cutting out a peel just inside the pith, allows you to heat the peel, and squeeze to express all of the essential oils from the orange peel onto your drink, ice and glass rim. (Be careful not to touch the source of the flame to the orange, or burn the orange or you will end up with a very sulfuric taste.) Give it one last twist, rub around glass rim and drop in for garnish. Finally, it is best to serve high quality cocktails over one large ice cube—often known as king cubes or ice spheres—because they melt slower than standard ice cubes, allowing your cocktail to taste the same from first to last sip, as opposed to being much more watered down.

One bottle of Basil Hayden’s will yield about 12 of these cocktails with 2 ounce pours. The St. Germain bottle will get you through 24 cocktails with 1 ounce pours, and the bitters will last for a year with 2 dashes a drink. So for $70 you can enjoy 12 of these cocktails ($5.80 a piece, which is better than you could buy anywhere!) with a great cordial, bitters and high end bourbon over whatever fancy ice you choose. Buy one more bottle of whiskey, and everything else will last for 24 cocktails.

Music is often something that is found through the purchase of a CD, downloading on iTunes, or scanning the radio. Sometimes, however, music finds you. This was the case

with The Gallery. We hadn’t heard their music or even heard of the band until an old high school connection brought us together. While we were delighted to have been introduced, we couldn’t help being a little disappointed that we hadn’t known about them sooner. The Gallery is considerably established—both in sound and experience—and we would’ve been their biggest fans from day one had we only known! We were able to meet the group “face to face” over video chat and talk at length about their band, music, style, and latest album release. Behind the solid sound of their self-described “hook-laden rock songs” are four equally solid guys. Ryan, Dave, Ben, and Brendan have been working at their music for much of their lives. Ranging in age from 22 to 27, they have an ability beyond their years to produce refined, contagious songs that you can’t get out of your head—

and don’t really want out of your head, either. Currently, the group resides in Los Angeles, California and has spent the last year writing, recording, and producing music with Warren Huart (The Fray, Augustana, Hot Hot Heat) at Swing House Studios in Hollywood. The origins of The Gallery were sparked in high school as brothers Ryan (drums) and Brendan (guitar) teamed up with Dave (bass/background vocals) after spending time together on a Habitat for Humanity project. Their band soon grew to four members and was achieving local success in their hometown area outside of Boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding New England area. When two of the members graduated high school and moved to Florida for college, decisions had to be made to keep the band going. The lead singer at the time left the band as Brendan followed the others to Florida once he, too, had graduated high school. Without a lead singer, Brendan stepped up to the mic, transitioning easily; “I had been writing lyrics and melodies before that, so it was a natural progression to step up into that role.” Ben (lead guitar) was soon after added to the roster,

Page 62: Bow & Arrow Magazine Issue Spring 2013

boasting an education from Berklee College of Music (in Guitar Performance, no less!). With fan bases in both New England and Southern Florida, The Gallery decided to embark on a national tour in 2009, consisting of 50 shows in 25 states. Now pursuing their music on the other side of the country and calling Los Angeles “home,” The Gallery has put forth their best work yet, with the recent album, Restless. Released in late February 2013, Restless is bursting with twelve unique tracks ranging from heartwrenching to uplifting. If you listen closely, you can hear hints of Tom Petty, The Wallflowers, and Oasis—bands that have heavily influenced the group; “When we were younger we were listening to, let’s say, weirder influences. But as our influences matured, our sound matured along with it. When we started, we were young, and had a lot to learn. It was a growing process.” The accompanying lyrics also create additional depth and are expertly phrased and delivered—undoubtedly the mark of artists who are able

to honestly reflect on their lives and communicate those feelings and experiences through music. The Gallery has not only impressed us with their recent album, but has also caught our eye with their style and casual approach to the stigma that often comes with being in a band. Countless musical artists put extreme effort into their look, trying to match their clothes and style to the genre of their music. For The Gallery, the music is casual and comfortable from the start, leaving little need to create a complementary image; they already play the part. The guys can often be seen wearing pieces from AllSaints, a British retailer of structured, worn, rock-and-roll-type clothing. Not straying far from outfits of denim, cotton and leather, their image is consistent and approachable—a quality valued by the band: “For us, we try not to make the band our only M.O. We always want to be approachable, even though you’re sometimes in a spot where people can see you as unapproachable. We always try to make an effort to be an approachable group.”

The Gallery also values their friendship, which has formed the foundation of their band. They want to pursue music together for as long as they can: “We always talk about being a band that lasts. There are so many bands our age that stop after ten years, and we’re approaching ten years, but we want to be old guys playing music together on stage. Like the Rolling Stones...the kind of group that’s still together after 50 years. It’s hard having that kind of longevity in this day and age, but it’s worth shooting for.” Being friends and brothers they tend to share a lot of their clothing, especially with Ben, whose

fashion world is still non existent; “We dress Ben before shows,” they admit, “and our band manager even gave him a pep talk once on upholding the band image.” “She approached it so sensitively,” adds Ben, laughing and unashamed, “She could’ve just told me I dress like shit.” The band agrees that they all share their casual approach to fashion, but for good reason: “We’ve mostly known each other our whole lives and we’re all from Massachusetts. Because of that, our influences and styles are all pretty similar. Of course, I don’t feel like a very credible source of fashion as I sit here doing an interview in mesh shorts.” We are beyond impressed with not only The Gallery’s music, but also with the individuals behind the music. Consider this your personal introduction to The Gallery—to Ryan, Dave, Ben, and Brendan—because it’s about time you met.

Some people just have it. They possess that natural ability to be a perfect host: they make you feel welcome and comfortable, and treat you as if you are the most important guest in the room. Social graces are one thing, but planning and organizing is another. A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes

into hosting, primarily the table setting and even more importantly, the menu. Take time to think

about the variety in your guest list. Consider any dietary restrictions, but challenge

their tastes. Even if your guests do not try everything, they will appreciate a

few bold options on the table,

encouraging them to step outside of their food comfort zones. Think about a great restaurant. What is your favorite part? Aside from the cuisine, it may likely be the atmosphere and ambiance that attract you. This is just as important when you host. Iron your linens. Polish your cutlery. Layer your dishes. And by all means, splurge on some fresh flowers. Many people overlook the power of setting a table, but when it is done with style and taste, it can be the difference between bland and class. Read on to see three simple settings that will impress everyone from grandma to boyfriend.

Weekend brunch

Perhaps you are throwing your best friend’s bridal shower or your parents are coming to see your new apartment. A light and lovely brunch is easy to style and the menu can be as simple or complex as you like. If you are confident in your culinary acumen, show off with a complex quiche or frittata. If you want to keep it simple, pick up some pastries from your favorite local bakery. Whichever direction you choose, serve a variety of colorful fruit, which in itself will be a feast for the eyes. Stop by a nearby antique store and scour their dishware. Mix and match vintage china patterns and colors. Choose clean, bright linens to show off the color in the food and table accessories.

Sushi and cocktails

It’s Friday night and your friends are coming over for a cocktail or two. Drama is the name of the game. Bold colors, sleek geometrics and dim lighting can transform any room into a swanky lounge. Square plates are becoming increasingly common in kitchen cupboards; they are contemporary and versatile. Neatly display an array of colorful sushi, with bright wasabi and soy sauce. Even though your friends may opt-out, provide chopsticks—if only for some table decor. Display your most stylish stemware and provide unique ingredients for some mixology experimenting. Hibiscus, basil, and ginger will add interest to even the simplest drink.

Italian date night

You’ve promised to cook for that special someone. Whether you are a whiz with a pasta maker or still not sure what the difference between spaghetti and linguine is, Italian food is a sure winner. It is almost foolproof. To add visual interest to the table, serve the pasta in a bowl. Save the plate for toasty ciabatta and don’t forget olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. Ride the Italian theme, but keep it fresh. Resist the urge for accordion music, and choose some new age bossa nova instead. It may be Brazilian in origin, but it’s still romantic, and less Godfather-esque. Various lit candles are encouraged, as well as a bottle of wine on the table. Remember, red for red sauce, and white for white sauce. Don’t be afraid to ask the folks at your favorite wine shop for a recommendation—they’re the experts!

Have you found yourself at a client dinner or wedding reception, wondering what fork to use first? Fret no more. Read these tips to become a confidant socialite at the dinner table, and no longer look like a seventh grader at the school formal, looking around to see who will dance first.

Flatware: The number of courses is indicated by the number of utensils at the place setting. Work your way from the outside in. After you have used a utensil, rest it on the plate. Do not set it on the table linens. Set your silverware down in-between cutting and chewing.

Stemware: Always hold your white wine glass by the stem, so as not to warm the wine with your hand. During a toast, raise your glass toward the person being toasted. If you choose to clink glasses, do so with care!

Napkin: Follow the lead of your host: once they have placed their napkin on their lap, take their cue and do the same. If you need to leave your seat during the meal, leave your napkin laid on your seat and cross your cutlery over your plate, fork facing downward. When you are finished, point your silverware parallel toward 11 o’clock. Once your host has placed his or her napkin to the left the plate, do the same.
