from kid-friendly symphony

its Hollywood quotient with a

behind-the-scenes look at the

filming of One Heart. Dragon

Stadium plays a prominent role in the feel-good football movie,

and some locals got in on the filming action. Randi Worsham,

owner of The Christmas Shoppe, reveals some tips for show-

stopping holiday décor and invites readers into both her shop

opened in grand fashion. It’s a feast for the eyes and the soul.

arts & entertainment

o matter where they were raised, people of a certain age are likely to share a common childhood memory: bundling up against the winter cold, crowding into the family car and heading downtown for a day full of holiday festivities. If you’re feeling nostalgic

for those days, look no further than Southlake Town Square. Designers work hard each year to create a semblance of the old family tradition, evoking simple pleasures through carriage rides, a visit from Santa, festive music and window-shopping. More than a single event, it’s a complete holiday experience that endures throughout the season.

“It’s so much more than just walking through

the mall,” says Karla Chase, marketing director for Southlake Town Square. “People make a lot of happy memories there. It really is a magical place.”

Festivities kicked off with the annual tree lighting, a Town Square tradition since 1999 that has grown bigger and better each year. Santa’s ceremonial flip of the switch illuminates the immense tree with more than 400,000 twinkling lights throughout the Square.

Aside from all the family fun, Town Square offers some of the best shopping and dining in the Metroplex. The Southlake Town Square Holiday Concierge, at 218 State St. (next to Jamba Juice), will assist with gift-card sales, dinner reservations, movie

showtimes and store information. In another ritual, local artist Trish Biddle debuted her new

2012 holiday painting, inspired by the late Brian Stebbins. Biddle’s merchandise, including prints of this year’s painting, will be available from the concierge.

Santa’s Village, open through Dec. 24, offers kids a chance to visit one-on-one with Santa, have their picture taken and

catch a glimpse of a few elves. Letters to Santa can be dropped off at the Village Post Office all season long. (Don’t forget to include a return address for a response from the man himself.)

Carriage rides will be available through New Year’s Eve. Sightseers and shoppers are invited to vote for a favorite decorated storefront through Dec. 24 in this year’s Deck the Windows contest. Last year’s winner was Corinthian Wellness Spa.

If kids need more personal time with Santa, make a reservation

for Brio Tuscan Grille’s Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 8.

Amenities include face painting, crafts, a breakfast buffet and a photographer producing instant keepsake prints. U.S. Marines will be on hand collecting Toys for Tots, and those who bring a toy donation will be entered into a raffle for a dinner for two at Brio. “It’s fun to see the kids have such a great time and a way for us to give back to the community,” says Kristen Ettinger, special events coordinator for the restaurant. “That’s really why we do it.”

Mommy MakeoverThe term mommy makeover has undergone a pop culture explosion. Though interpretation of the term may vary from surgeon to surgeon, at Tarrant Plastic Surgery we regard a mommy makeover to mean acombination of breast and body procedures designed to remove or reverse many of the effects of pregnancy. These effects may include:• Drooping of the breast with gain or loss of volume• Widening of the nipple-areolar complex, breast asymmetries • Widening of the muscles of the abdomen with the associated pooching• Excess skin and stretch marks• Love handles• Drooping of the pubic region.During your consultation, we will address your individual needs. In terms of a woman’s breasts, candidates for mommy makeovers may desire breast reduction, lift, augmentation or a combination of procedures. As for the abdomen, most mommy makeover candidates desire a tummy tuck with muscle repair with a combination of liposuction to the love handles and even the inner and outer thighs. Benefi ts of a single-sitting mommy makeover include the ability to create balance in a woman’s overall look, one recovery, and often a signifi cant reduction in cost because the practice offers multi-procedure discounts. At Tarrant Plastic Surgery, a mommy makeover is usually performed under general anesthesia at our surgery center in Southlake. All patients undergoing a mommy makeover will have a thorough medical evaluation prior to surgery. Mommy makeover consultations always are complimentary.

Arts Magnate

local luminary

erri Messing really loves the arts — especially music. So much so that she co-founded the Apex Arts League, now in its fifth year of providing seasonal programs to Southlake and neighboring communities, featuring events from full symphony productions to intimate chamber music gatherings.

The league was named for Southlake’s location northeast of Fort Worth and northwest of Dallas. Messing, who holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music, says the league was created to enhance the arts scene in northeast Tarrant County and to find a permanent facility for performances. Nowadays, the focus is on programming for its thousands of members and the community at large.

“Until we find the perfect location that fits our need for a wide variety of seasonal arts programs — and that’s realistic for our community — we’re very happy with our home at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Southlake,” she says. “They’re a great partner, and we share a common goal of bringing the excellent and burgeoning North Texas arts scene closer to home.”

The importance of drawing an assortment of arts groups to Southlake is not lost on those organizations’ leaders. “Our new concert series, DSO on the Go, is very important in helping us build support for symphonic music across North Texas,” says Tino Jalomo, community engagement manager for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. “There are so many communities and cities like Southlake that don’t have a resident orchestra; groups like Apex allow us the opportunity to leave the Meyerson, the Dallas Arts District and bring the magnificence of the Dallas Symphony to them. In

doing so, we hope to get them to come back to the Meyerson to hear us in our home. Our partnership with Apex is a win-win opportunity and helps us build audiences.”

The White’s Chapel sanctuary seats up to 2,300 patrons, and an additional 200 chairs can be brought in for Apex’s sellout performances by the Dallas and Fort Worth symphony orchestras, as well as for holiday concerts and a yearly jazz festival. The famed One O’Clock Lab Band from the University of North Texas is on tap for a Feb. 23 concert, which fortifies Apex’s stellar reputation and its wide appeal to individual Apex members and corporate sponsors.

One of Messing’s favorite performances is the upcoming Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra kid-friendly concert Jan. 17, which will feature a fun and educational instrument “petting zoo” just prior to the performance.

Apex is not only about ticketed musical performances by known professional groups. The organization also offers student enrichment programs in music and in the visual arts. For example, Southlake residents enjoy a revolving gallery show at Southlake City Hall featuring works by aspiring young artists. Apex also organizes noncompetitive choral festivals and clinics.

A Southlake resident since 1996, the ever-busy Messing also works with the Southlake Women’s Club helping select participants in the annual Art in the Square event held in the spring, which she co-founded. Her husband Mark, an oncologist, is supportive of all of her efforts. Their adult children, Darla and Aaron, both caught the arts bug and are professional musicians. In Messing’s so-called downtime, she likes to read, work out and go on outings with the family dog Basie (named for famed jazz musician Count Basie).

While Messing could be described as the “engine” of Apex, she firmly believes in the community that supports the organization’s mission. “I’m always amazed at how many in our neighborhoods are interested and willing to help and am deeply appreciative.”

A kid-friendly concert, hosted in partnership with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra,

is one of Messing’s favorite events.

local landmark

outhlake may not (yet) be the movie capital of the world, but some locals and a hometown sports hub have gotten a taste of big-screen fame since Eterné Films set up shop in Town Square last August. The

city has rallied around Eterné’s production team and its upcoming movie One Heart, for which key scenes were shot in and around Southlake, featuring residents in sideline scenes and Dragon Stadium in a prominent role.

The film, slated for wide release in fall 2013, is being produced in conjunction with Birchwood Pictures and has all the makings of a classic crowd-pleaser. Its plot, based on a 2008 high school game between Grapevine Faith, a small private school, and Gainesville State, a maximum-security juvenile facility, tells the story of how the event affected the lives of the players and coaches on both sides of the ball. The powerful message of compassion is reminiscent of sentimental sports favorites The Blind Side, Remember the Titans and Chariots of Fire.

Dragon Stadium portrayed the home stadium of nemesis team “Newman Knights,” and Southlake fans responded in droves to casting calls. Director Mark Ellis and producers Steve Riach and Larry Frenzel hosted auditions to fill the roles of high school football players, and One Heart’s local casting director, Beth Sepko, also auditioned participants for speaking parts.

Several hundred extras turned out for the final night of filming at the stadium. “They were fabulous,” says Riach, lead producer and one of the screenwriters. “They filled a portion of the stand, then moved to a different portion. They cheered all night long and never lost their enthusiasm. It’s been that way from the beginning. To be embraced by the city in such a way has made what we’re trying to accomplish a much easier task. People at the Carroll school district and the athletic department at Carroll have been so

wonderful to work with and so accommodating.” The scoreboard and other stadium markings with “Carroll

Dragons” will be disguised or not in the frame. “The Knights are kind of a composite team showing the [not-so-favorable] treatment the Gainesville team received,” says Riach. “We didn’t want anybody to identify them with Carroll. We spent two nights shooting two fictional games, one against Grapevine Faith, one against Gainesville State. The majority was for Grapevine Faith, but we picked up a few shots for Gainesville.”

Riach says his crew received red-carpet treatment all the way. “Kevin Ozee [director of athletics for Carroll ISD] has just been a joy to work with. They basically opened their doors to us at the stadium and said, ‘Our home is your home.’ The city and school district have both operated that way. They’ve both been so accommodating, all the way from the mayor to members of the City Council to merchants throughout the city to the folks where we make our office in Southlake Town Square. Everybody in Southlake has embraced us and really made us feel at home and have been such a benefit to the project.”

As the film was being developed, its producers launched the One Heart Project, inspired by the movie’s story and dedicated to positively affecting the lives of at-risk and incarcerated youth. One Heart Project is an initiative of the Heart of a Champion Foundation, a nonprofit coordinating a national network of partners and individuals in a collaborative effort to re-shape the juvenile justice system.

“The One Heart movie has been a very exciting project to watch unfold over the past year or so,” says Ozee. “Steve Riach and his crew have been great to work with, and I am very moved by their passion to reach people through the movie and the project. We were approached about renting Dragon Stadium for the movie over a year ago, and it has been a great experience. Just as Southlake is one of the best communities in America, we believe that Dragon Stadium is one of the finest high school stadiums in the country, and for it to be a major venue in the movie is a great honor.”

Members of the One Heart staff hope to keep the office in Town Square once production has wrapped. “The way the city has responded laid the groundwork for other productions to come to this city as well,” says Riach. “I know we will want to continue to work here, and I’m sure there are others who will want to work here as well.”

s owner of The Christmas Shoppe in Southlake Town Square, Randi Worsham identifies trends, scours markets and

creates magical window displays and vignettes for her singular shop, all with an eye to helping her clientele

make lifelong holiday memories. In addition to selling all manner of holiday decor at her seasonal store, Worsham and her team of 10 employees decorate area homes for Christmas; last year alone, they did 27 residences in Southlake, Colleyville, Westlake and Dallas.

“I always love creating something spectacular in the great room or main family room,” she says. “We are all about making that area of the home especially beautiful for entertaining friends and for reflecting on the season with family.”

Mantels are one of her favorite features on which to set a mood or establish a theme. “We often put as many ornaments and decorations on a mantel as on a given tree,” says Worsham, who decorates all four mantels in the Southlake home she shares with her high school sweetheart husband, Pat. “Right now, a classic Father Christmas look is in, with natural branches, twigs, lights and other old-fashioned details.”

Burlap is another key element this year. “We have burlap runners, Christmas tree skirts and magnolias. By mid-October, we ran out of burlap poinsettias and had to reorder them. They’re very unique.”

Worsham loves to mix varieties of greenery for garlands and swags. For her earthy outdoor mantel, which sits in a covered area, she uses dried hydrangea that she picked from her mother’s garden along with pinecones and “lots of greens.”

Above, right: This vintage-inspired door swag has a frosted pine look with a bright red holiday ribbon at the top. Shown on a vintage door in the store, the swag is a nostalgic option for those who don’t want a wreath on every door.


Reds add pop to the natural elements, especially in the form of silk and velvet ribbons. “Everybody loves Christmas red,” she says. “Last year blue was big, but not so much this year.” According to Worsham, various shades of golds and greens have remained strong choices, but nothing comes close to trumping traditional red.

“We donated a 60-inch wreath for a fundraiser that was red on red with poinsettias and red ribbons in different shades,” she says. “That look is so beautiful and Christmasy.” The Christmas Shoppe holds annual bow-making classes as well as a session on making wreaths, and an atmosphere of ongoing philanthropy and giving lends a festive vibe to her shop. All of her employees — including two of her daughters — are mothers. “Family comes first around here,” Worsham says. The husband of one of her workers was recently deployed to Afghanistan. “We decided we’re going to bless 50 Marines this year by sending them care packages each week with snacks, socks,

Christmas tree lights, hand sanitizer, gum and items like that.” Her customers can donate to the cause in the store.

Worsham says she feels especially fortunate this year with a large new storefront in Southlake Town Square. When her previous location became unavailable this year, she took a leap of faith and leased a 6,000-square-foot space (more than three times larger than what she had in 2010 and 2011) by James Avery Jewelry. Many hope the shop becomes a permanent fixture rather than a Sept.-Dec. venture. “We are considering staying open year-round with fresh flowers and other things,” Worsham says.

The ongoing popularity of her retail and design pursuits has put a squeeze on the event and wedding planning business she has run for a decade. But Worsham insists she relishes the chance to concentrate her efforts on the last month of the year. “Christmas has always been my favorite time of year,” she says. “It’s a joy to come into the shop and celebrate every single day!”

food & drink

or those who have become accustomed to the opulent, gilded aesthetic of the multiple Patrizio locations around the Metroplex, the newest addition to the North Texas chain might come as a shock. Patrizio Osteria, which opened near Southlake Town Square in late October, boasts a modern glass rotunda, complete with a minimalist spiral staircase, its steps under-lit by a cool blue ambient light. That’s the first hint that the new location represents a shift from lavish and grandiose to understated elegance. Ken Kuczwaj, vice president of Edward C. Bailey Enterprises, Patrizio’s parent company, says this is for precisely one reason: “In Italy, ‘osteria’ means an informal, neighborhood place, somewhere that a family can go and get whatever the chef is cooking that day.” It is this juxtaposition between a laid-back atmosphere and high-quality food with premium ingredients that Patrizio’s customers have come to expect.

While old favorites like chicken and mushroom lasagna and eggplant Parmesan make the cut, guests are treated to a mostly new menu developed by executive

chef Luciano Salvadore. Salvadore, who hails from northern Italy, says the rotating list will consist of new items like Taglierini Pepati con Gamberi and Tentazione Dell’osteria, as well as fresh takes on pizzas. The Osteria menu is slightly smaller than that of other Patrizio locations, but Salvadore insists that quality is more important than quantity. Ingredients are sourced directly from Italy and flown in daily for maximum freshness and authenticity.

Both Salvadore and Kuczwaj feel that the food perfectly complements the new space, and that, like the menu, the interior conveys a sophisticated restraint. Light wood accents and natural light provide a backdrop for soft, muted walls. A glass chandelier that looks as if it was pulled straight out of the Museum of Modern Art hangs from the second-floor lounge, cascading down into the main dining room and over a sumptuous circular banquette. Upstairs, the smooth sounds of Etta James and Billie Holiday float through the velvet-

walled lounge as guests slump back into plush leather chairs and sip one-of-a-kind cocktails from legendary mixologist Gino Catenacci. While Catenacci’s selection is plentiful, one of his favorite and most popular concoctions is the Sparkling Blood Orange Martini, which is a mix of Chopin Vodka, blood orange liqueur and blood orange puree, topped off with champagne and garnished

with an orange slice. Other signature drinks include the Cello Vanilla Lemondrop, the whiskey-infused Rock’n’Rye and the thirst-quenching Gino’s Juice. Mixologist Steven Vasquez, who comes from the Chesterfield in Dallas, tends bar upstairs.

Proud as it is of its cocktails, Patrizio Osteria is equally confident in its extensive Italian wine selection, which Kuczwaj encourages all guests to explore with abandon. “We hope to give people an experience with Italian wines that they’ve never had before, and now is a perfect time to branch out, as the 2010 and 2011 vintages from California haven’t been so great,” he says. “If you aren’t satisfied, it’s a money-back guarantee.”

Kuczwaj looks forward to great success with Osteria and feels that Southlake is long overdue. “This area needed a place for a great dining experience and late-night lounge, and we’re going to give it to them,” he assures. “We’re going to turn this place into a scene.”

This sculpture at the corner of Main and State Street was decorated in remembrance of the late Brian

Stebbins. The Ties that Bind, crafted by artist Jane DeDecker, depicts a universal and timeless scene

befitting the architecture of Southlake Town Square. The plaque adorning the flagstone base reads:

“What was once farmland, developer Brian Stebbins and the City of Southlake envisioned as: a center of activities and downtown for the City; a community-gathering place for events and entertainment; a place to

conduct commerce; and the heart of our City’s government. Their passion, determination and attention to detail brought Southlake Town Square to life. Southlake Town Square is recognized nationally and internationally as

an authentic hometown community; the standard for downtown developments.”
