A sampling of some of the impressive name-brand items available at the Wear Else! new and con-signment stores in West Knoxville and Powell

After a visit to one of the Wear Else! new and consignment stores – in Powell or West Knoxville – you

just may fi nd yourself asking: “Why pay retail?” and determine never to do it again.

Both of the stores are fi lled with like-new consignment merchandise and a wealth of new things. As store owner Kim Cook is fond of saying: “If you wear it, we have it.”

If you’re looking for the latest and greatest in spring fashion, whether it’s clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, sunglasses or many other items, Wear Else! is the place to go.

There are plenty of names you’ll recognize: shoes by Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Dolce and Gabbana and other famous names; handbags by Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Coach, Dooney and Bourke, Vera Bradley and lots of other well-known designers.

The store offers clothing and accessories for almost any occasion for women, men and children.

For the wedding and formal events in the months ahead, both Wear Else! locations have rack after rack of brand new formals and wedding dresses, bridesmaids’ gowns and gorgeous dresses for the mother of the bride. There are shoes and jewelry to match many of the gowns.

In addition, there are tiny outfi ts for the ring bearer and fl ower girl, ring bearer pillows and fl ower girl baskets and even champagne fl utes.

Men can also be outfi tted here for those very special occasions. Wear Else! has brand new tuxedos in the latest styles. Cook says it costs less to buy tuxedos at Wear Else! than to lease them elsewhere.

The West Knoxville store is at 7509 Northshore Drive in the Rocky Hill Center. The phone number is 691-8494. The Powell store is at 7550 Brickyard Road, where the phone number is 947-9277. Hours at both stores are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Wear Else!‘The’ place to shop


Living aNew York dream

By Aaron Killian

F or 32-year-old stage manager Mike Jones, the dream to work in New York City all began with a

photograph.“I had this ‘Phantom of the Opera’

book that had the libretto in it,” Jones said. “It had a picture of a stage manager, and I was like, ‘I want to be her.’”

Jones added, “It seemed like Oz – this mythical place. I thought, ‘Oh, well. I’ll never get there.’”

Luckily for Jones, he never gave up on his dream.

Fresh out of high school, Jones stage-managed his fi rst show the spring semester of his freshman year in college.

“It all started at Pellissippi State,” Jones said. “There was ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ in ’98, and then each summer I worked at the Smoky Mountain Shakespeare Festival (at) Pellissippi State.”

From there, Jones met locals in the Knoxville theatre community who connected him with local theatre company the Actors Co-op, where he spent fi ve years as the company’s resident stage manager.

“I learned so much working at the Co-op because it was a little theatre with no money,” Jones said. “We worked in found spaces and rented studios – the backs of antique stores and coffee shops.”

His stage management experiences have allowed him to work with local favorite theatres like the Clarence Brown Theatre and the Ula Love Doughty Theatre, and with companies

like the Word Players and East Tennessee Stage Company.

However, Jones said that nothing prepared him for New York City more than the Actors Co-op.

“I learned in Knoxville that there’s no obstacle you can’t overcome when producing a show or trying to put on a show,” Jones said. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and I learned that from people like Amy Hubbard at the Actors Co-op.

“There is adversity and diffi culty in producing and making art, and I’ve taken that right into New York.”

After getting his bachelor’s degree at the UT, Jones got an internship with

the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. That year, the company won the Tony Award for Best Regional Theatre.

“It took me to a larger level,” Jones said. “I got to work with larger casts.”

From there, Jones went to Washington, D.C., and worked

for the Shakespeare Theatre Company, and then he went to graduate school in Alabama where he received his equity card, which would allow him to work on union shows. It ultimately became a critical step toward New York City.

“One of the cool things about being there was that it seemed like every person who worked there had a connection to New York,” Jones said. “Suddenly, it wasn’t just a picture in a book. It was a tangible thing that I had connections to. I knew people living there and could crash on their couch while I looked for a job.”

The Musical,” a parody of the hit fi lm “The Silence of the Lambs.” Photos submitted

Jones took a production stage manager job with the Ensemble Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he met his partner Tim O’Donnell, and in 2010, the two decided to take a leap of faith to move to New York City. Jones has been busy stage managing ever since.

“I learned that it’s a stage manager’s

job to not have an ego,” Jones said. “That’s why doing this interview is a little weird for me. I never think of myself of someone who is like, ‘Look at me. I’m in New York doing theatre.’ I’m just working. I’m doing what I’ve wanted to do, and it happens to be in this city.”

The name tells it all at Sequoyah Dental Arts

The patients of Dr. Pablo Foncea will attest to the fact that the improvements he makes to their

smiles amount to true works of art.Dr. Foncea is quick to add that is the

very goal of his practice. “What we provide is artistic dentistry with a personal touch. We listen to our patients and answer all of their questions. We make them comfortable with their surroundings, their treatment and their fi nished look.”

And those images on the walls of the reception area at Sequoyah Dental Arts? The walls that look like “miles of smiles?” Those are real people. They are all patients of Dr. Foncea who have had their looks transformed by beautiful smiles.

Some have had complete rehabilitation with crowns, veneers and implants, others

have had veneers and some whitening, still others have new custom dentures. Looking at the photographs, the dentures are so real looking and so artistically created that it is impossible to determine which of the patients are wearing dentures and which have all of their natural teeth.

“Creating beautiful smiles in the most artistic way possible and maintaining those smiles in a healthy and attractive manner for a lifetime is our goal,” Dr. Foncea says.

To schedule your appointment with Dr. Foncea at Sequoyah Dental Arts, call 312-7695 or go to the website: www.sdasmile.com. Offi ces are located at 2719 Kingston Pike, just west of Concord Street.

New patients will receive $100 off the cost of a comprehensive exam.

Every woman knows there are some basics that have to be in her closet: a little black dress, a pencil skirt, a great pair of jeans and a classic purse. With the right building blocks, you can put together an outfi t that’s stylish, feminine and timeless, without a lot of fuss.

The same idea should apply to your jewelry collection. When you have the essential pieces, you’ll be prepared for any occasion, whether you need to be subtle or want to turn some heads. Cristina Ehrlich, celebrity stylist and Pandora Jewelry ambassador, outlines six can’t-live-without-them pieces that you should have on hand.

1. A statement ringOne jewelry trend that has lasted throughout many

seasons is a cocktail ring that makes a statement. “Floral motifs and precious gemstones set in gold or sterling silver are classic choices,” Ehrlich says. She also points out that you can experiment with different kinds of stones, such as bright orange carnelian or freshwater pearls, which are available in every color from creamy white to champagne or peacock blue. For a classic look stick to black onyx or spinel, which go with everything.

2. Earrings of various lengthsThis is a three-in-one essential: You should have

studs, dangling earrings and hoops. “Studs are fl attering on everyone,” Ehrlich says. “They brighten the face and can easily be worn from day to night.” Although stud earrings can be worn each day, every woman needs something dangly and eye-catching for a night out or to dress up an everyday outfi t. Choose a color that complements most of your existing wardrobe so you can wear them often, such as black onyx with diamond accents. And every woman should own a pair of hoop earrings in either sterling silver or 14-karat gold. “For a twist on classic hoops, choose interchangeable earrings that can be customized with long dangles or short drop pendants to create a different look for every day of the week,” Ehrlich adds.

3. BanglesHaving a fun set of bangles is the key to dressing

up any outfi t for an evening. Ehrlich advises choosing a simple style in sterling silver for a polished look, or bangles with colorful accents for a bit more playfulness. Layer your bangles with other bracelets to

create the look you want. “I love to layer silver bangles with black leather bracelets,” suggests Ehrlich.

4. Chain necklaces“A simple chain in sterling silver, oxidized silver

or 14-karat gold is a classic piece that you will be able to reinvent again and again,” Ehrlich says. Choose a long and a short chain to give you more options. Layer them together for a modern look, or choose to wear one with a beautiful pendant, clip or charm.

5. A watchA great watch has been a jewelry staple for some

time, but with the prominence of cell phones, many women have mistakenly tucked their watches away in the jewelry box. Opt for a more delicate piece that looks like a bracelet, or if it suits your style, go for a bigger, menswear-inspired watch. Ehrlich points out that some watch designers allow the wearer to switch out watch faces, bezels and bands to create a completely customizable look. No matter which you prefer, choose a classic style that can be worn with any outfi t.

6. A bracelet you loveBuilding on an old tradition, contemporary charm

bracelets allow the wearer to create a personalized and unique piece of jewelry, tailored to their own preferences and taste. The Pandora collection includes classic charm bracelets in sterling silver, 14-karat gold or two-tone, as well as more modern options such as the double-braided leather bracelet, all of which can be customized with a selection of hundreds of charms and clips. “You can change the charms on your bracelet to suit your mood or the occasion,” Ehrlich points out. “Any event or milestone in your life can be the occasion for adding a charm to your collection.”

When it comes to buying your essential jewelry pieces, look for those made from genuine, quality materials such as sterling silver, 14-karat gold, and precious and semi-precious stones, which will retain their value and beauty for years. The key to choosing each piece in your collection is to keep in mind your wardrobe and favorite colors so that you will have a variety of accessories to wear for any occasion and any outfi t. And of course, always choose something that celebrates your individual style. –ARA

Lattanzi off ers a classy, intimate dining experience while in New York City’s Midtown Manhattan.

‘Sophistication and warmth’ at Lattanzi

rant Row near the Theater Dis-

By Jake MabeNEW YORK – Nestled comfortably

into two brownstones along Restaurant Row in Midtown Manhattan is a quaint, charming Italian restaurant that is a perfect place to eat before taking in a Broadway play.

We discovered Lattanzi quite by accident while looking for a restaurant last year before a show at Radio City Music Hall. What a fi nd!

The atmosphere is intimate, the food is excellent and, for Manhattan, the prices are reasonable. The service is outstanding. Its website says Lattanzi offers “sophistication and warmth.” And that’s a perfect way to say it.

I was there again in late February,

having made reservations after a midday matinee. Despite the Saturday night supper rush before the evening shows began, we ordered and were served within fi ve minutes.

I relished my ravioli con funghi (with wild porcini mushrooms) and a glass of the house pinot noir. I never order dessert, but I couldn’t resist the crème brulee.

The restaurant serves both classic Italian and Roman-Jewish cuisine. It’s been in business, at the same spot, for 27 years.

The Lattanzi family traces the restaurant’s history back to Erminia Lattanzi, who raised a big family in Rome in the postwar years, creating delicious family recipes in the process, before immigrating to Brooklyn in

1964. The family opened its fi rst restaurant on the Upper East Side in 1979.

The master chef and Erminia’s son Paolo has worked in kitchens and as an assistant or head chef in several restaurants throughout the New York metro area.

“I roam the city to take in all the senses… the sights and sounds, but mostly the smells… which translate into taste,” Paolo says on the website. “We then improvise in the kitchen, combining the best possible

ingredients with compositions of herbs and various spices to mimic what I have picked up from the outside, taking care to use Italian cuisine as the basis and measure of everything throughout the process.”

If you’re feeling Italian and musical and fi nd yourself in Midtown Manhattan at suppertime, head to the historic brownstones on West 46th Street between 8th and 9th avenues.

Eccellente! For more info on Lattanzi, visit

W hile the exciting new Plum Gallery has taken over the space formerly occupied by

Hanson Gallery at 5609 Kingston Pike in the heart of Bearden, and retains many of the same artists, gallery owners Mickey Mallonee, Daniel Headrick and Brad Cullen have come up with a great new concept that’s sure to draw an appreciative crowd.

On designated evenings, often as part of the popular First Friday in the District event, Plum Gallery will host an “Artists Circle,” which will feature

artists seated at a table talking among themselves about their art, trading suggestions and ideas. The public will be able to listen and also ask questions.

There will be wine to sip, cheese to nibble on and plenty to see and hear – and, of course, purchase – at the festive events.

Mallonee says she came up with the idea while listening to a couple of the gallery’s artists. “One of our artists was having a problem with a painting and asked another artist to

Plum Galleryadds the art

of sewing

help determine what was wrong with it. It worked, and we decided to build on that idea. We can all learn from each other.”

Plum Gallery opened its doors to an appreciative audience in early December. There is a lot that’s familiar about the new gallery – especially the focus on local artists. “All of us have a passion for our local artists,” Mallonee says. “Knoxville is so fortunate to have such high quality artists right here, many of whom are collected nationwide.”

In addition to painting and photography, sculpture, jewelry, glass, fi ber and other art, and matting and framing of most everything

imaginable, Plum Gallery also has a popular new element: interior design, featuring custom designed and hand-fi nished window treatments, bedding and pillows. And they do it all, from the design to installation.

Hours at Plum Gallery are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Info: 584-6097.

P rom season is quickly approaching, and whether you will be dancing under big city lights or by the light

of the moon, looking and feeling great on your special night is priority No. 1.

This season is all about diversity and is sprinkled with texture, lots of sparkle and unexpected accessories. One of the hottest trends of the season is the hi-lo dress style which is short in the front and long in the back. This dress features the best of both worlds with a shorter front, allowing a peek at shapely legs, and the long back, adding an elegant touch.

Mermaid dresses are also very popular this season. The long silhouette dress tapers at the knee, showing off curves on top and providing a bit of swing at the bottom.

For the young woman who has always

dreamed of being a princess on her prom night, full ball gowns are still in style, and this season Alfred Angelo has designed several dresses inspired by the Disney princesses.

If a long gown doesn’t fi t your personality, the short party-style dress is a hot trend and perfect for the girl ready to kick up her heels on the dance fl oor. Embellishments on dresses are big this year, featuring bodices dazzling with sequins and feathered skirts or layers of ruffl es adding a fun, fl irty fl are.

Colors of the season include neutral hues and skin tone dresses such as blush, pink and champagne; and bright, bold electric shades, including yellow, red, blue or purple. Although gold, silver and bronze remain popular colors for prom, grey dresses are everywhere this season.

Dresses in the pink category are big this season, and not just traditional pinks. When looking for dresses, think shades of coral, mango, fuchsia and hot pink.

Accessories are almost as important as the dress, and this is a great place to show off personal style. Hair pins and headbands featuring fl owers and rhinestones are popular this season and create a unique look.

To fi nish off the perfect prom look from head to toe, don’t forget nails and shoes. Nail art is big this season and includes the crackle look on nails, newsprint art and colors that pop. Shoes this season will have lots of glitter and sparkle to show off beautifully manicured toes and gorgeous hemlines.

Most importantly, when looking for your prom style, make sure to look for styles that will make you feel beautiful and confi dent.

Prom season is all about personal style and picking a dress that complements

a person’s fi gure. Modeling several hot styles of the season are Sydney Hall in a

mermaid dress; Caroline White wearing a hi-lo hemline and lots of sequins; Kari

Summers in a bright red hi-lo gown with sequins; Kane Osborne wearing a fl irty,

short dress in neutral hues; Hana Shea Lewis in a short dress embellished with

lots of “bling” and a feathered skirt; and Alex Loy in a classic black gown with a

sweetheart neckline and rhinestone embellishments on the bodice. Photo by Ruth White

SCamps, upper level workshops

and classes in classical ballet, modern and musical theatre,

fl amenco and character will fi ll the summer months at STUDIO ARTS for Dancers, according to artistic director Lisa Hall McKee.

“This is a great time for dancers to enroll in project-based camps and even try different styles of dance and for new students to discover whether dance is something they want to continue during the school year,” McKee says.

In “Red Riding Hood…A Ballet Fairytale,” scheduled July 16-20, new and experienced dancers ages 6-11 will learn choreography,

perform ballet mime and make their own props, headpieces and backdrop for their studio performance.

“This is our young dancers’ favorite camp,” Mckee says. “They learn so much about what ballet is as a performance art, and they have a great time.”

A musical camp, June 25-29, will teach students ages 8-15 music and choreography from popular musical theatre shows. Students will also paint their own backdrop. The students are presented the script on the fi rst day of camp, and the production takes to the stage on the fi nal day.

For beginning intermediate

through advanced dancers, STUDIO ARTS will host a two week “Guest Artist Intensive” featuring master guest teachers, including Ellen Werksman, Sergei Chtyrkov, Joulia Moisseeva and others. The classes in contemporary and classical ballet, modern, lyrical, musical theatre, pilates, character and fl amenco, pointe and variations will be open to experienced dancers ages 11 through adult. Dancers may sign

up for either one or two weeks, and all dancers will be placed in appropriate levels on the fi rst day.

Three weeks of classes for beginning through advanced ballet, including pre-school, classical and modern, will be offered July 2-20.

For dates, times and costs, call STUDIO ARTS for Dancers at 539-2475. The studio is located just off Northshore Drive in West Knoxville.

The local landscape is well saturated with builders, but Abner Card stands out from the

rest. He’s building for the future, and believes the quality of his homes will withstand the test of time and win awards for their historic signifi cance.

Ab Card Construction Company specializes in historic design. Homes are one-of-a-kind and built to exacting specifi cations using only the highest quality materials and superior craftsmanship.

His latest designs come with

offi cial documentation, including historic information and a custom artist rendering. He calls them “residustrial,” because while they are private homes, “they are built with industrial strength concepts and materials.

Card’s newest line features cottage-style homes reminiscent in appearance of days gone by. “The purpose is to surround the homeowner with quality, and a sense of dignity and timeless elegance in a smaller package.”

Card says his homes feature “a

at Ab Card Construction rustic elegance,” and that he envisions homes he builds almost as cocoons. “The rough materials are on the outside – the rock, the shake shingles, the board and batten – but when the homeowner is inside, the feeling is soft and warm and comforting.”

The interiors of Card’s homes feature an open concept for the living, dining, kitchen and family areas, all highlighted with timbered accents and anchored by a massive stone fi replace.

But while the feel is of a historic home, all systems are designed to provide the highest possible effi ciency and function. Sizes range from 1220 to 1695 square feet, and prices range from $115 to $130 a square foot.

Card also works hard to protect the environment during all phases of construction, including protecting wildlife, recycling leftover materials and employing soil-saving practices.

There are eight cottage designs in Card’s current collection, with three more available next month. Ideally, all would be built in a cluster development. Coming next fall and winter: Card’s Urban Collection.

With a signed contract by the end of April, Card is offering a bonus package that will save the new homeowner $3,000 on all Rocky Mountain hardware and faucets. What a deal!

Building for the future


G&G Interiors has perfectly timed the opening of its new art gallery to coincide with

this year’s Dogwood Arts Festival and also with First Friday in The District in Bearden.

The opening of The Gallery at G&G will be 5 to 8 p.m. on April 6 at G&G Interiors’ spacious showroom located at 5508 Kingston Pike, Suite 100, in Cherokee Plaza.

Featured at the premiere event will be the work of artist Dawne Raulet of Atlanta, whose work will be exclusive to The Gallery at G&G in the Knoxville area. Raulet’s oil paintings of animals, still lifes and landscapes have brought her wide acclaim, and are found in homes, galleries and offi ces throughout the southeast.

Also featured in the new gallery during April will be the work of local artist Christine Patterson, well-known for her mixed-media photography. Patterson will be the gallery guest artist at an open house from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday April 12. The exhibition is titled “Equus – The Art of The Horse.”

For the month of April a portion of proceeds from Patterson’s work will be donated to Shangri-La

Eric Patterson adds the fi nishing touches to a client’s new hair style.

E ric Patterson is back from a recent trip to Las Vegas full of enthusiasm for a new line of hair color products now available at the West

Knoxville salon he owns with partner, Elisabetta Proietto.

The salon has long partnered with the Redken line of hair products, for which Eric is a teacher and facilitator, traveling across the country to help promote the products and train stylists in their use.

Patterson says the new line of Redken Chromatic hair colors, introduced at the Las Vegas event, “is the largest product launch in Redken’s history. The company spent $5 million on promoting this new line.”

Because of their association with Redken, Twisted Scissors was able to get the new product two months in advance of anyone else, and Patterson says, “it is truly remarkable. We love it and our clients love it.”

The color line uses an oil delivery system, which Patterson says provides better results than the usual

ammonia method of delivery and lessens damage to the hair. “The hair and scalp feel better and the condition of the hair is so much better. We have had great results with it.”

Another benefi t is the lack of ammonia smell, which many people fi nd objectionable and which can be troubling to those with certain health issues.

There’s still more excitement ahead for the Twisted Scissors team. Several stylists will be going to Atlanta next month to take a cutting and styling course from Redken’s global artistic director, Chris Baran. “We’ll come back with the hottest new trends for spring and summer,” Patterson says.

Twisted Scissors is located at 4928 Homberg Drive, Suite A-5, in Bearden. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. on Monday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Availability varies by stylist. Info: 588-2311.

Color, color and more color will defi ne fashion for the spring and summer months for both men

and women, according to the experts at M. S. McClellan & Co.

Menswear buyer and manager Dan Kocks says there’s a new, softer shade of navy appearing in men’s fashion. “In addition to all the bright colors of spring and summer, we’re seeing this new navy in suits, ties and just about everything .”

Kocks adds that men’s clothing is continuing its trend to heritage and outdoor brands. “These are brands that have been around for a time and continue to turn out beautiful products that will last. When the economy tightens up, that’s what people want, and they like things that work for the weekend, but can also work well during the week.”

Kocks says it’s important to note that men’s jackets and ties “have become a little slimmer, making what is in a lot of closets obsolete. You have to be careful or you will be looking like yesterday’s news.”

More shoppers are looking for “Made in the USA” items, Kocks notes. “This is something we’re very aware of. We are making a point of continuing to add US brands, and even Tennessee brands.”

Women’s buyer Betsy Foster says just about any bright color is popular for spring and summer, particularly “sunshine colors.” Her most popular item right now, though, is red jeans. “We just can’t keep them in.”

Women’s pants are slimmer this season, but the biggest trend of all is dresses and skirts. “Dresses are hot as

a fi recracker. Manufacturers are fi nally making the right kind of dresses. And if you fi nd a sleeveless dress you love, but you don’t want to show your arms, we have lots of little cardigans that coordinate perfectly.”

Foster says the new shade of navy is popular in women’s lines, too. “And to answer that age-old question of what color shoes are appropriate with navy, Foster says the answer is black. “Black shoes go with all shades of navy.”

M. S. McClellan is located at 5614 Kingston Pike in Melrose Place shopping center. Store hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday. Info: 584-3492.
