datingeditor’s note

his time of year is one of my favorites. There is something romantic and so cozy about October welcoming fall in, with the leaves changing and a little rainfall making an appearance or two. I don’t know about you, but I look forward to the fall fashion,

pumpkins, hot drinks, nights by the fire playing board games and watching some football. It’s the time of year where everyone starts to shift their plans around and spend time indoors with friends and family as we start to look forward to the holidays to come in the winter months.

This year is actually my first October as a San Diego resident and I couldn’t think of

a better place to be! I recently made the move from Orange County (originally from Oregon) to be closer to my boyfriend, Kiptyn Locke. It wasn’t just Kiptyn that got me to make the move, although he’s pretty amazing, but San Diego romanced me as well with its beautiful beaches, eclectic sub-cities and the welcoming and caring communities. I am especially impressed by the people of San Diego, their pride of this beautiful place they call home and their desire to live “green.” I guarantee you will find Kiptyn and me out on an eco-friendly date as I continue to explore my new community!

With October comes Breast Cancer Awareness month. It isn’t the most cheery topic and sadly it has affected many of us, either personally or through those close to us. What it does do however is give us all the opportunity to get involved on several levels to help raise funds and awareness that will help battle this ugly disease. Kiptyn and I were honored with the opportunity to help kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month at the Hard Rock San Diego this year with Kelly Osbourne at their Pinktober event, which included an impressive light show, specialty pink drinks and of course a reason for everyone to dress in pink fashion!

On the nights you find yourself out on the town, remember it’s also that time of year for Oktoberfest! The Linkery looks to be a promising place to find a good brew and a hearty festive meal with one of their specialty sausages, as noted in our hot spots department this month. Halloween will also be greeting us soon with all the costume parties and fun gatherings. I’m still stuck on where I’ll be or what to dress up as, but I can assure you it will be memorable with all that San Diego has to offer!

I hope this festive month brings you plenty of reasons to gather with your friends and family, and maybe even some romantic moments enjoying the crisp fall air.

Fun FacT: The Linkery was named as one of the 100 best farm-to-table restaurants in America by Gourmet Magazine (October 2007).

A chic place to link up with friends, link to local farmers and enjoy some links is The Linkery in North Park. The forward think-ing, socially and environmentally responsible venue offers delicious and fresh fare in a wel-coming environment.

Featuring farm-to-table local and organic in-gredients, The Linkery showcases a multidi-mensional appreciation for craft beers, local wines and only the freshest, environmentally

conscious food ingredients. Farm-to-table is an environmentally conscious initiative that creates sustainability by supporting local and seasonal farming rather than industrial agriculture (think mainstream supermarkets), which can manipulate and harm the environ-ment. Produce is almost entirely locally grown from San Diego Country farms including Suzie’s Organic.

By supporting local farmers The Linkery showcases seasonal ingredients that can be cultivated in natural, local con-ditions and allows for innovation and variety in their offerings. Some items are menu staples though, including the Lardo Ice Cream Sandwich, a rich and filling dessert of house made ice cream with candied house cured bacon and a caramel bacon sauce.

In addition to farm fresh produce, The Linkery also features craft beer and wines from California wine country, to vineyards of Baja. The chalkboard wall is updated with selections from great local breweries, including Ballast Point. Those looking to open their beer taste buds can choose a flight of four or work their way down a pairing list to invite the richness of fluffy cheese curds, another Linkery favorite.

The atmosphere here evokes conversa-tion and new friendships with an invit-ing vibe that spills onto the streets of University and 30th. In addition to envi-

ronmental consciousness, The Linkery demonstrates social responsibility by featuring a local charity each month. Any gratuities over 18 percent are do-nated to the chosen charity so you and your crew can end the night feeling good about the planet as well as help-ing others.

After trying the fare at The Linkery, you and your roommates can work to-gether honing your own culinary skills by procuring Suzie’s produce at one of many farmers markets throughout the county.

BOnus Tip: What can be more green than camping? Pack up the marshmallows and leave your iPads at home!

impress that special someone with one of these 5 eco-Friendly Dates!

1 35

2 4 twinkle little starIf you live in San Diego and haven’t been to the top of Mount Sole-dad, you are missing out. Mount Soledad is perched at the highest point of San Diego and displays a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire city. This is an out of this world date that will give you an excuse to lie next to your honey all night long. So cuddle up in a blanket, sip some hot chocolate and put stars in your lover’s eyes by going stargazing at the top of this glorious scenic hotspot!

get with natureGo experience what Mother Nature has to offer! If you enjoy aquatic activities, get your romance on with a sunset guided kayak tour of la jolla’s famous seven caves. Paddle out along the ancient sea cliffs and get personal with harbor seals, sea lions, and dolphins. Or ditch your car for the day and rent a tandem bike and surprise your date by cruis-ing down to a local farmer’s market where you can pick up some food for a fun afternoon picnic in the park. If you are a thrill seeker, try hiking a hidden gem in pine Valley, the three Sister’s Waterfall hike. Be sure to bring food for lunch and swimwear to jump into the waterfalls.

eat greenStudies have found that the average restaurant meal produces a pound and a half of trash. More restaurants are becoming environmentally friendly by offering menus with local foods that have been prepared using green en-ergy practices. Check out restaurants in your neigh-borhood that are certified as “Green Restaurants” such as burger lounge, george’s at the cove, croce’s, pizza Fusion and jsix! If you want a more intimate setting, try cooking an organic meal at home. Lighting a few soy or beeswax candles. Use silverware, actual plates and cloth napkins to reduce paper waste!

play a board gameScore bonus points with your date by having game night! I mean who doesn’t love a good board game? Game night is a great way to spark up conversation and get to know your date. Make sure you pick out multiple board games for the evening that are interactive, not too competitive and quick. Think along the lines of Candyland, Shoots and Ladders or Scrabble. Don’t forget about providing snacks too! Instead of ordering pizza and drinking soda, try more natural and wholesome foods such as a veggie platter with hummus and water.

be a tree huggerPut your green thumb to good use and plant something other than a kiss on your date’s cheek! Roll up those sleeves and get your hands dirty together. Instead of expecting your date to buy you flowers, why not plant a whole garden of flowers or plant a tree in your partner’s name? Choosing plants over flowers is a great option because they last lon-ger and cost less. If you and your date are the artistic and the crafty type, you can even take it a step further and decorate planting pots together!

Remember, finding or exploring love can be both fun and creative. By working alongside Mother Nature, you can feel good about the Earth and make a difference at the same time!

“I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.”—TAYLOR SWIFT

Taylor swift has made believers out of all

of us. Her diary-themed music has captured the

hearts of many and has earned her four grammy’s

and over 20 million album sales, not to mention

the title of the most awarded album in country

music history for her 2008 album Fearless.

“I write songs that are like diary entries,” said Swift in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “I have to do it in order to feel sane.”

Taylor Swift took over the music industry in 2006, when she was only 17 years old. However, that is not when it all began when she was just 10 years old.

“Every single weekend, I would go to festivals and fairs and kara-oke contests… any place I could get up on stage,” she said in an interview with CMT.

“The cool thing about this is that my parents have never pushed me. It’s always been [my] desire and love to do this. That’s what makes this so sweet. If I had been pushed, if I didn’t love this, I would probably not have been able to get this far.”

Swifts’ desire and determination has helped to catapult her to superstardom.

In 2006, her first album, titled Taylor Swift, was released and went multi-platinum. The album included the hit “Tim McGraw” which made her a household name. Swifts sophomore album, Fearless, won her a Grammy for “Album of the Year” in 2008. Last year her third album, Speak Now, was released and has been rumored to chronicle her romantic relationships with movie star Taylor Laut-ner and musician John Mayor.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly regarding Speak Now, Swift stated “For me, putting out an album means that every song on that album has to be something that I thought was the best thing I’ve ever written when I wrote it.”

Swift may be the princess of country, but multiple acting gigs have kept her occupied as well. In the past four years she has been on and off the screen appearing in shows such as Ameri-ca’s Got Talent, CSI, Saturday Night Live and Dancing with the Stars. On the big screen, Swift has been a part of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience and Hannah Montana: The Movie and Valentine’s Day.

Currently, Swift is busy with her Speak Now World Tour, where she plans on performing in 24 states. “I’m really excited about every-thing that has to do with telling people about this album, because I’m just so proud of it” she stated in The Wall Street Journal inter-view. “You know, promotion is all different—you’re never doing too much of the same thing.

"There are magazine shoots and interviews and talk shows and performances and concert specials. I like the variety of it, it’s defi-nitely something you have to go into saying to yourself, ‘I will not get tired. I will not complain."

As most people are unaware of every local environmental issue that surrounds us, it would seem unimaginable to even consider tracking the entire planet. While each of us may hold

something dear, it is important to note one special San Diego company that works on environmental issues in a concerned effort to make world a better place, The San Diego

Zoo. Our Zoo, though its many efforts, has made an enormous impact through both local and global conservation work that has helped to preserve many species and their habitats.

Wildlife & Conservation

Page 19: Fashion 5.0 October 2011

19oCtoBer 2011 // 19

The VisiOn of San Diego Zoo Global is to “become a world leader at connecting people to wildlife and conservation.” This organization is comprised of The San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Their main focus is to study animals in their native habi-tats, while using research to find solutions to prevent species from becoming extinct. In addition to several local projects, there are currently 230 researchers doing work in 35 different countries.

One of the major projects in ac-tion right now is in the Cocha

Cashu Biological Station in the Peruvian Amazon. It is one of the world’s last remaining truly ‘wild’ areas. This station is located in the Manu National Park, which spans across 4 million-acres and is one of the most immaculate ecosystems.

Dr. Ron Swaisgood, who has been with San Diego Zoo Global since 1995, has been studying the Andean bears in Peru along with their partner, the Spectacle Bear Conservation Society, since 2009. They use GPS satellites to deter-mine and place boundaries on the areas that the bears inhabit. They found that water is a limited

resource in this area. Also, the Andean bears eat Pasallo trees, which is an inefficient source of food energy for them. Because of this, bears consistently lose weight during the dry season. On the other hand, Sapote trees are available during the wet season, enabling the bears to fatten up.

Swaisgood explains, “If humans were to develop and remove the trees, the bears would have less water and be robbed of their food resources, leading to their extinction. This is why the team has developed boundaries to protect this land.”

Manu national Park is the most biologically diverse region of the amazon for terrestrial life. The reserve is a des-tination for birdwatchers from all over the world. it is home to over 1,000 species of birds, more than the number found in the united states and canada combined.

andean Bears

The elusive andean bear lives in the andes Mountains. it the only species of south american bear, found in a narrow strip running from western venezuela through the andes in colombia, ecuador, Peru, and bolivia, and ending in northwest argentina.

Another animal that research-ers give special attention to

is the California condor, which was once on the brink of extinction. The conservation work is supported partly by The Foundation of the Zoological Society of San Diego. As a result of their work about 150 condors have hatched at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Others have been released into the wild in California, Arizona and Baja California. Now, there is a first-ever, live Web camera that show the con-

dors at the Breeding Center in the Safari Park. Head over to www.sandi-egozooglobal.org where you can see videos of first-hand accounts! This is a privilege considering the condors only breed every other year between December and April. The goal is to help people understand the wildlife that he researchers study.

The Light-Footed Clapper Rail, anoth-er bird that is bred at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, is only found along

California’s coast from Santa Barbara to Baja California. This secretive, en-dangered species has successfully been bred and released back into the wild. July 19th, 2011, marks the ten-year point of the breeding program as well as the 300th bird to be re-leased. This event was administrated by the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Sea World, the Chula Vista Nature Center, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a group of independent wildlife biolo-gists known as ‘Team Clapper Rail.’

t h e b i r d s h a v e i t

cLapper raiL

The light-footed clapper rail is found exclusively in salt marshes between santa barbara, california and san Quintin bay, baja california, Mexico. Due to the loss and degradation of salt marshes the light-footed clapper rail species has declined. The species was listed as endangered in 1970.

caLiFOrnia cOndOr

condor numbers dramatically declined in the 20th cen-tury due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction. a conservation plan was put in place by the government which led to the capture of all 22 remaining wild condors in 1987. These surviving birds were bred at the san Diego wild animal Park.

Michael Mace, Curator of birds, explained that the Clapper Rails were common in marshlands in southern California but became endangered due to loss of the coastal wetland habitats from highway and home development. Coastal wetlands have been re-vitalized and now help stimulate the bird population. The San Di-ego Zoo Safari Park received their first clapper rails in 2005 and now 43 have hatched at this location, making it the largest breeding center of clapper rails. After the chicks hatch, they are given a few months to mature at the Safari Park where they are watched and nurtured. Then they are trans-ferred to the Chula Vista Nature Center, which is very similar to their natural habitat. Here they learn to feed on their own and are conditioned to live in the wild. They are typically released into

the wild within one year of be-ing born and there are now 440 known pairs in the wild.

The Light-Footed Clapper Rails are important to our environment because they are an “umbrella species” in that they provide an umbrella of protection to many other species that rely on their existence.

According to Mace, “We’ll know we’re successful when we don’t have to do as much hands-on management. We try to correct the situation and leave it in a good position so there’s less hu-man intervention.”

Researchers and scientists are working hard to preserve many animals around the world as well as maintaining a safe place for them in the San Diego Zoo and

Safari Park, which serves as a safe environment where scientists can study. The hope is to create a fu-ture in which people and wildlife can thrive together in harmony.

The challenge is to be an active member of the community and do your part to help! It can be as easy as making a few simple adjust-ments to your daily habits. Simply conserving water and electricity is an effective way to start helping the earth. You can go online to www.sandiegozooglobal.org for further tips on how to do your part. You can also stay updated by following the San Diego Zoo Global group on Facebook and Twitter where you’ll find user-generated content to encourage you to get involved. In essence, a better and safer world for the animals leads to a better world for us!

During the month of September, Dolcetti Boutique and A Style Concierge hosted private, in-house fashion events every Monday night. These events, called “Model Mondays,” were created as an opportunity for a variety of local models, photographers, wardrobe stylists, hair stylists and makeup artists to come together and collaborate on their talents. The outcome was nothing short of remarkable high-fashion photos that were to be used for portfolio building.

According to Lee, “Creating something that no one else has done before, while working with the wonderful talent we have, is quite an amazing experience.” It was through Michael Lee’s vast network of local talent, along with his enterprising effort, that one building in San Diego became the underground, unofficial fashion headquarters every Monday night.

Michael Lee, the co-owner of A Style Concierge, created this unique event as yet another way to showcase the fashion and beauty San Diego has to offer.

d.i.Y. garden build Your ownwith the cost of food skyrocketing and the current economic turmoil, it’s not a bad idea to start growing your own food. even though winter is approaching, now is the perfect time to begin preparing for an autumn harvest. Follow these five tips to create your own garden for next to nothing!

5 aFFOrdaBLe waYs TO creaTe YOur Own Garden By MiCAh SKye, L.N.M.T., N.C.

The most important thing to remember for your green thumb adventure is to have fun! Remember, your garden doesn’t need to be perfect. Pick a favorite fruit or vegetable, plant a few seeds and have fun watching them grow to maturity. No taste of success is greater than the one you can put on the dinner table and eat!

12 43 5 make a planPlan your garden today to ensure winter suc-cess. Decide what you’d like to grow. How much space can you devote to the project? How much time are you willing to spend? Answering these questions will help you to determine your priorities.

start smallWhen planning your garden, it’s better to start too small than to start too large. In order to enjoy your garden, you must be able to control it. Don’t get too ambi-tious and remember, you can always add more.

choose wiselySome plants are more productive than others. Choosing plants that fruit or produce quickly is your best option. One great choice is Arugula, which has become widely popular in gourmet cuisine. Arugula produces quickly and con-sistently, whereas tomatoes take a lot of time and care.

recycle seedsWhen you buy a packet of seeds, you generally receive more than you need. Find a friend that wants to join you in your endeavor for a fun and fru-gal way to split the costs. Sprouting seeds from a delicious apple or avocado is another great way to get a plant for free.

share toolsYou can cut costs on tools, soil and other things like fertilizer by finding a garden buddy to split costs and share with. This also gives you a partner and support system on your journey in the garden.

FacT: your Natural beauty is 100% environmentally friendly; the most beautiful thing a women could wear is confidence and a smile.

11 For starters, take a look at the packaging your makeup comes in. We help our carbon footprint by us-ing and reusing materials, therefore recycled packaging is the most desirable.

2 Secondly become aware of the ingredients and chemicals in each of your products. Note that the chemicals and toxicity levels vary per brand and per product. With minimal exposure these pollutants will do little harm, even with daily use. Your skin is a strong, yet vulnerable pro-tector that will eventually be stripped by those toxins and then absorbed into your body. This can then create a build-up that could damage your blood and vital organs. To bypass any unwanted damage, look for products with natural ingredients.

las Vegas is the ultimate girl’s getaway destination known for fabulous weather, a non-stop party scene and beautiful people. With summer ending, what better way to keep the vibes alive than an all-inclusive and all-expense paid trip with your friends! SFinX pro-ductions and tao management made it happen this September by bringing 50 of the hottest Southern Cali-fornia girls to sin city for a 3 day, 2 night extravaganza!

All the ladies arrived early at kate Sessions park in Pacific Beach in anticipation of departing on the luxury charter bus. Getting the full VIP treatment, the bus was stocked with endless snacks, drinks and gift bags filled with SFiNX swag including watches, gift certificates to local boutiques, water bottles, energy drinks and of course the September issue of Fashion 5.0 magazine!

Rolling into Vegas in style, they checked into the trump international hotel and were assigned four to a room. According to the girls on the trip, the suites at the Trump are incredible—MTV crib status! The ameni-ties included both a king size bed and queen size couch bed, kitchenette and a huge bathtub with a Jacuzzi. Even the bathroom had TVs built into the mirrors. What was really unique and classy about the Trump Hotel is that it was 100% smoke free and was conveniently near a huge shopping mall. Excellent choice SFiNX!

The ladies eagerly unpacked their luggage and settled into their suites and got ready for their first night out. Starting at lavo italian restaurant inside the palazzo, they were served welcome drinks and tasty Mediterranean appetizers of pizza and calamari. Feeling refueled and energized, everyone was ready to tear it up at lavo nightclub.

Lavo Nightclub possesses an intimate nightlife experience and it embraces a Moroccan décor making it a sexy and exotic superb club! melody Dinckan, one of the selected 50 hottest girls on the trip, appreciated the private table and bottle service aspect of the night. She loved how refreshing and conve-nient it was to have a drink at hand while dancing. The night was a success and everyone couldn’t wait until the next day for the pool party!

The ladies woke up to disappointing weather, but were ready to party rain or shine. So they suited up with a liquid coat and headed to tao beach where only in September it is Spring Break! Entering the pool, it resembled a tropical secluded island, there was a live DJ spinning the latest hip hop and house tracks in the center of the pool and spacious day beds scattered everywhere to lounge and mostly dance on! The place was covered with forty foot bamboo trees to give it that Asian feel.

Not only is TAO Beach one of the most sophisticated beach party spots in Las Vegas, but the cuisine is just as satisfying. Throughout the day, the girls were served an assortment of signature TAO specials of sushi, quesadillas and chicken skewers. Plenty of photographers were there, including Seva Kalashnikov from napkin nights, which is the most popular party picture Web site in Vegas! Of course nobody wanted to leave but they knew they had to rest up and for their last night in town & promptly departed at 5:30 p.m.!

Looking fabulous in their stilettos and dresses, the group headed over to the Venetian to dine at what is considered the best restaurant in Las Vegas, tao asian bistro. After sipping on fancy alcoholic drinks and eating delectable ap-petizers, it was finally time to boogie down inside tao nightclub! On a side note for all you future TAO goers: If you eat at the restaurant, your cover into the club is included. TAO Nightclub was definitely a great choice for a last night out. This club had a high-energy atmosphere, go-go dancers and other live performances, two main rooms playing a variety of music and an outside terrace overlooking the strip! The girls enjoyed two dance floor tables as DJ Vice played an amazing set of mash-up, hip-hop and house well past 3:00 a.m.

As the next morning crept up, everyone was very exhausted and sadly trekked back on the party bus to depart back to San Diego. omid Sabet, the owner of SFinX productions, stated his favorite part of every Vegas trip is the interesting stories as the girls hop on the bus. According to Sabet “Every story I heard was a good one. It was an overall very successful trip.”
