A fashion WaterfallWhat do international intrigue, death threats and haute cou-ture have in common? No, not James Bond, (although a Bond Girl would look right at home here). It’s Madame Moje — one of South Granville’s newest haute couture stops. Endorsed by Real Housewives of Vancouver’s Reiko MacKenzie as a “hidden gem” and a frequent destination for stylists, the store is all pink Parisian � air and beautifully tailored, � gure-hugging fashions. And they’ll take to the runway for charity Feb. 18 at the Waterfall building (1540 W. 2nd). Presented by fashion activist Vernard Goude, it should come as no suprise that proceeds from the $30 entry go towards Beauty Night Society and JoinThePipe — women’s makeover and clean-water organizations respectively. Tickets for this fabulous evening are available at LuvnGraceAffair.com or 604-374-5610. As for all that Bond talk, stay tuned for our upcoming feature on Madam Moje owner Malashnee Naidoo to learn more.

Musicians rumble with Bach Choir for charityFor the last 83 years, the Vancouver Bach Choir has been performing in concert alongside your favourite artists; now, music director Les Dala has invited some of his own favourites to perform in a style of concert rarely seen on our stages.

Les and Friends — a gala fundraiser for the venerable choir — takes place Sunday at 2pm at the Vancouver Academy of Music (1270 Chestnut), and will feature some of Canada’s most prominent artists (some of whom are already in town rehearsing for Vancouver Opera’s Don Giovanni). The artists, colleagues of Dala’s, are donating their time and their talents in support of the choir — one of the largest in Canada.

It is in some ways a show of solidarity for the national arts community, but even more so a commitment to help continue the work the choir does for arts education and awareness across the Lower Mainland. Some of the roughly 110 VBC singers have been members for 30-plus years and come in from as far as Mission to rehearse each week.

“This is certainly a chance to see some of these folks up close and personal,” says Dala of his hand-picked lineup. “Rarely are you going to have so many amazingly talented people sharing the stage in one afternoon.”

Proceeds from the concert not only help the Bach Choir continue its mandate of produc-ing some of the � nest works that have ever been written for choir and orchestra, but the less enchanting business of running the of� ce, hiring the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, renting the Orpheum, hiring soloists — expenses that can amount to hundreds of thousands annually.

Of the singers and instrumentalists on the Feb. 16 program, perhaps the most exciting is the Bergmann Piano Duo: “My very good friends, Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann, are just electrifying. Marcel is also a composer/arranger, and they’re going to close our show with a number of his own arrangements from a suite of West Side Story.”

So if you missed the musical while it was in town, or if you haven’t had your � ll yet, you should come hear what these guys have got. — Kelsey Klassen

Tickets are $65 (partial tax receipt will be issued), available by phone at 604-872-8789. VancouverBachChoir.com Photo: Les Dala and the Vancouver Bach Choir, supplied

Bon mots by Thomas Haas

There’s something in the chocolateGuess what talk show host Thomas Haas is called by his staff... And who’s the one who says, “Darling, we have to talk” in the Haas household?

By Martha Perkins

Of Thomas Haas’s supremacy as a choco-late and pastry maker, this much is known: not only is he one of the best in Vancouver, he would be among the best

in any city around the world. Put him back in the Black Forest, where he was

born, and he’d be respected by people who have honed the craft for generations. Put him back in New York, where he was executive pastry chef at Daniel Boulud’s three-star Michelin restaurant, and he’d be back on all the talk shows as the great, all-knowing guru as quickly as he could whip up his famous steamed chocolate soufflé.

But Haas’s reputation as the go-to emotional confidante among his staff?

“I have a middle name and it doesn’t come from me,” he says. “My staff call me Thomas ‘Dr. Phil’ Haas.”

Just the other week, when one of his staff members was going through a painful break-up, he invited her to move in with the Haas family — Haas, wife Lisa and children Taylor and Alessa — until her world stopped spinning.

And this brings up another surprising discov-ery. “I am the woman in the relationship,” he says with a smile when describing his 17-year marriage. “We’ll be laying in bed and I’ll hold Lisa’s hand and say, ‘I think we have to talk…’”

There is much about Thomas Haas that defies ex-pectations. In a celebrity-driven world, he eschews the glamour, preferring to spend his free time with his family. He has earned the right to be supremely self-confident and yet he’s always wondering how he can be better. And there must be something in the chocolate that makes him so open to exploring his feelings and the feelings of others.

It turns out that the things that have made him such an extraordinary chocolate and pastry maker are the same things that make him a pretty extraordinary human being. Not that he’d ever describe himself that way.

“If ever I blow my own horn, I say, ‘Lisa, you have to hurt me.’ It’s so not charming.”

The beginningIn 1918, Haas’ great-grandfather opened the family’s first bakery in Aichhalden, Germany and it was always assumed that Haas would one day take over the family business. But then, in 1995, he accepted the job as executive pastry chef at the Four Seasons hotel in Vancouver where the assistant manager in the front office was a young woman named Lisa.

Lisa’s grandfather had left China and settled in Jamaica as part of an immigration program intend-

ed to provide labour in the sugar cane fields. He eventually made enough money to pay for his wife to join him and that’s where Lisa grew up until the family moved to Toronto when she was eight.

Their friendship blossomed long before the romance. “When you develop a friendship first there are no walls. You talk freely about anything under the sun,” Lisa says. She got to know ev-erything about Thomas so that by the time they discovered that additional spark, “the past was already in the past. There were no skeletons in the closet that pop out.”

Their marriage is a case study in opposites attracting. He can do the Grouse Grind in just over 30 minutes. She’d prefer to take the gondola to the top. He describes her as easy going and relaxed. She describes him as “forever on zoom.”

Their son Taylor was still a baby when Thomas got a call from Daniel Boulud asking him to visit him in New York, where Boulud was in the midst of opening Daniel at Park Avenue and 65th Street.

“It happened so quickly,” Lisa remembers. The Haases had always said New York was a fun place to visit but they’d never want to live there. None-theless, Haas Fed-exed some recipes to Boulud and flew to New York so Boulud could taste the results. “Thomas calls me and says, ‘We’re moving to New York’” Lisa remembers. “Never say never.”

Those early years were a whirlwind. There was the phenomenal success of the restaurant, but also of Haas, who was a frequent guest on televi-sion shows such as Martha Stewart Living. Both Chocolatier magazine and Pastry Art and Design magazine placed him in the top 10 in the United States and his star was in ascendancy, heading towards stratospheric.

“Professionally, Thomas grew amazingly in New York and learned so much from Daniel,”

Lisa says. It was a life they loved but didn’t think was compatible with their parenting ideals. From birth to age five is the “most flourishing time” in a child’s development and both of them wanted to be part of it. They couldn’t see raising chil-dren — daughter Alessa was born in 2000 — in New York and so they made what was both a very tough and very easy decision — to move back to Vancouver.

“It’s easy to be amazing at one thing but of the commitments we make in life, I’d rather be proud to say I tried my best to be a good husband and I tried my best to be a good father,” he says.

“I’m happy to lose out on [professional] success because it’s a different definition of happiness.”

They started their business — she runs the office — in the most unpretentious location: behind the auto mall in North Vancouver. It’s the type of place you’d never drive by because there’s no “by” there. And yet the retail space and café in the front are always packed, with Saturday morning line-ups for out-of-the-oven croissants not unheard of, just like at the second location on West Broadway.

Most of the staff has no formal training because he wants to imbue them with his values. “If everyone can love to come to work every day and don’t let the objectives slip, longevity is built in.”

And that’s why the Dr. Phil part of his personal-ity knows when a staff member is in turmoil and offers more than platitudes. He hires a bus to take them all to Seattle to discover what’s happening in the food scene there. They close up early to do the Grouse Grind every week. And he lets them know he has their back when the pressures of suc-cess start to eat away at that quest for balance.

“You only have one life,” he says, “and every day is precious.”

“If there’s one question in life it’s who you are and what makes you happy. If you have a positive attitude you will get closer to the answer. What makes me happy? Harmony and honesty and genuine success in the big picture.”

“Vulnerability and trans-parency are a big thing. It’s important that there are times when I make myself vulnerable be-cause it breaks barriers.”

“Being right is not what I want. It’s being better.”

“Life is a lot about heav-ily embracing com-promise, sacrifice and tolerance. If you just accept them, they’re a burden.”

“I want to grow old with an amazing feeling of not having regrets.”

“I want the business to be better, not bigger. Better to the staff, better to the environment, better to customers. I could have 30 stores but I know I wouldn’t enjoy not knowing everyone by name.”

“You need to build a deeper culture [at work.] It’s hard work and if people don’t buy in, it’s only shallow and will collapse.”

“I think I’m never the best. What I know is that we’re trying our best to our ability.”

Valentine’s Day

By Martha Perkins

It’s said that when we’re choos-ing a mate, we are attracted to someone who shares the same facial attributes. It is, so the

theory goes, a way of enhancing and preserving our genes.

If you doubt that theory, then you might want to check out Physical Attraction: New Works by Katie Huisman.

The Vancouver photographer has taken photos of 50 couples of various ages, ethnicities and sexu-al orientations. Instead of posing them in classic portrait shots, she photographs them individually in 12 specific poses with a black

background. Then she superim-poses one face onto the other.

The results will surprise some people, while confirming other people’s belief that our choice of partner is programmed in our genes.

Huisman found that there are very few differences in certain aspects of each couple’s facial fea-tures. For instance, 90 per cent of the vertical distance between the eyes match within two millime-tres, 86 per cent of the horizontal distances between the nose and eyes match and, in 86 per cent of the couples, their profiles match each other’s.

“I believe that our decisions

regarding physical attraction may be influenced by our primordial instincts,” Huisman says in a press release.

It might seem to take the ro-mance out of our choices but she doesn’t believe the similarities are coincidence.

The show opens the day before Valentine’s Day at Initial Gallery (2339 Granville) and closes March 8.

Huisman will be at the gallery for the opening reception on February 13 from 6 to 9pm. The gallery is open Tuesdays to Saturdays, noon to 6pm.

Author Steven Lake offers pointers to men

By Glen Truax

A man is walking down the street with his girlfriend/wife/partner and a conver-sation (of the one-sided

variety) begins. She begins to tell a story about

some recent unpleasantness, he suggests an “obvious” solution, and before you know it, they’re having a fight. The man is accused of being a terrible listener, and can’t figure out why. How did this happen?

Dr. Steven Lake, author of Talk2ME: How To Communicate With Women, and a general relationship expert, has plenty to say about the way men communicate — and miscommunicate — with their partners. His book specifically deals with the way that men interact with women, and the pitfalls that men can fall into.

“Men are problem solvers. When a woman begins to talk about something, men immediately come up with a solution,” says Lake. “A solution might not be asked for — just listening is important.”

When men are fumbling around for a solution, conclusions may be jumped to, and that further strains things. “It makes women feel like they’re not being listened to, which makes them feel disrespected.”

It often comes down to that basic

difference between sexes — when dealing with emotions rather than problems, some men shut down.

Even simple physical gestures are important, Lake says. When men stop making eye contact and start breathing heavily (with lots of sighs in between), it makes you seem impatient. It shouldn’t surprise any-one that his behaviour is perceived as rude. Frustration runs both ways, and open communication drops when neither side has any idea of what the other person is trying to convey.

“We get upset when our answers are rebuffed,” Lake says. “Men feel uncomfortable, and they don’t know what to do.”

So what can men do? “Just listen, and don’t try to think of a solu-tion,” Lake says. “Support might be all that’s asked for.”

Explaining how the other person’s comments make you feel opens the situation up for more fair listening, instead of a one-sided “discussion” with one person talk-ing and the other person tuning them out. “Speak the truth, and tell her what you’re feeling,” Lake tells men.

If you find yourself falling into the rut, take a moment to think about what’s needed from a dialogue. “Identify feelings and emotional states, but don’t necessarily look for answers.” Simply stating where you two stand may make an ocean of difference.

How to talk to women


style

By Martha Perkins

Vancouver interior designer and fashionista Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick to Know is one of the featured HGTV Main Stage present-

ers at the BC Home + Garden Show at BC Place (Feb. 19-23; we’re giving away passes at WEVancouver.com). She’ll be talking home trends on Feb. 20 and 22.

What is the hardest part of deciding the “look” of a room?This is the trickiest part of design for most people: they see many things that they like — and many that they don’t like — but are not sure where to begin in terms of putting these items together in a cohesive fashion. Although most of us can align our general taste with one overlying look, there are usually different decor styles that speak to us; the difficult part is blending these styles together to create a “look” for the space that makes it our own. The desire for a “show-room” home is behind us; people are now searching for a way interact with their space.

How do you determine what style suits a client’s personality?At A Good Chick To Know we encourage people to find the items within their home that have the most importance to them — whether it be a sofa, a painting or a treasure collected from a travel — and we begin to group things from there to determine the feel of a room. We work within a hierarchy of styles: we select the three most prominent looks based upon the furniture or accessories that we’ve asked our clients to gather, and layer the three different looks together in

order of importance. This method allows us to combine different styles in a prioritized fashion, and create a personalized, slightly eclectic space that avoids feeling too clut-tered or visually confusing.

Which colours suit which personalities?Matching colours to personalities is a grey area (pardon the pun). We have had clients that have seemed very reserved, and leaned toward ultra traditional in their decor prefer-ences, yet ended up falling in love with a space filled with colour and pattern. There have been those who come across very outgoing in personality and bold in decor that have craved the serenity of a neutral palette. I’m totally one of those people: I have a highly eclectic style that incorporates pieces I’ve collected over my lifetime, I have a strong personality and most people who meet me assume I have a home overflow-ing with intense colours. The truth is, I’m happiest with crisp white walls and only smaller hits of colour (usually soft greys or neon pinks).

What are your inspirations?I have a long background in the fashion industry, so I often look to the runways and fashion glossies to pull inspiration. My fave designer is Stella McCartney — her “soft edginess” encourages me to amp up the femininity to my design, and balances my typically more masculine signature style. As for stores, I love nothing more than to scour our city’s cool vintage spots for standout decor pieces. My first stops are always Space Lab and ReFind (make a day of it, there are so many treasures to discover!) Another hot little vintage spot is Duchess Vintage, just around the corner from Space Lab in China-

town. (Side note: the best cuppa joe is at The Shop, conveniently next door to Duchess.) For non-vintage inspiration, I love to shop at Nineteen Ten Home, Vancouver Special (both on Main Street) and, every locals’ go-to for fab finds, The Cross. For truly unique pieces or for custom woodwork, I never pass up a stop into Shop Wrong Collective (Vernon and Hastings) and Union Wood Co. (Railtown).

Describe your dream room:For my own home? Think of Elvis and what his house looked like. Blend that with a

classic California mid-century home with tons of windows and light, and you’ve got my dream space. Architecturally I love the mid-century openness, clean lines, sunken living rooms and overflowing natural light; from a decor standpoint, I’m a lover of over-the-top statement pieces, golds, and many of the pieces that were popular during the 1970s. In a modern way, of course.

I’m purposely writing this close to Valentine’s Day. If you don’t have a reservation you’re probably screwed, but when you’re single, who cares? You don’t have to accom-modate anyone’s schedule and you can celebrate any day.

Where you end up celebrating, or just enjoying, really depends on what type of “single” you are. Are you looking to celebrate yourself? Hang out with friends? Or are you on the prawl? Rawr!

The following activities aren’t just on Valentine’s Day either, so spend the month trying them all.

Chinese New Year Afternoon Tea at Xi Shi Lounge During the entire month of February, Xi Shi Lounge is featur-ing complimentary afternoon tea for anyone born in the year of the horse (conditions apply).

Oyster BarsYes, oysters are aphrodisiacs but if those don’t get your libido going, then sit back and observe. I don’t know what’s up with the oyster bars but the visuals are never that bad and the oysters are good, too.)

The Lobby Lounge at the Fairmont Pacific RimHave you seen it on a weekend, or even after work hours? Classy singles mix and mingle while a live pianist sets the mood.

Shawna and Lisa Coan (aka Sweet Tart and Spicy Tart) have been putting their love of artisan pastry to work for two years now out of their West Broadway bakery, and never miss a chance to tart up a special occasion.

This year, the Tart Sisters have teamed up with Dress for Suc-cess Vancouver to combine your heart-warming generosity and their mouth-watering treats.

As young businesswomen themselves, the Coan’s say they feel a personal connection with Dress for Success — an organi-zation that empowers women as they re-enter the workforce. Tarts Bakery will donate $1 from every Strawberry Cheesecake Heart Tart they sell to Dress For Success, which will in turn provide women with suits for job interviews and much-needed career development tools.

Since their handmade creations sold-out halfway through last Valentine’s Day, the girls will be more than doubling their efforts this year to ensure that nobody goes home ‘broken-tarted’.

The special Heart Tarts will only be available until Valen tine’s Day at 1509 W. Broadway; however, you are ‘heartily’

Bal Arneson’s new TV show has just launched. Her third cookbook comes out in a couple of weeks. She’s come a long way and she’s going even farther

By Martha Perkins

This is a woman who was born into such poverty that she was not even given a birth date.

This is a woman who was told it was a good thing she could cook because she was too ugly to get a husband.

This is a woman who, when she left her arranged marriage and moved into a shelter in Vancouver in 1995, had so little education that she did not know that decades earlier a man had walked on the moon or that the Great Wall of China even existed.

And yet, when you ask Bal Arneson where she’ll be in 20 years, and she tells you that she’ll be as famous as Martha Stewart — “if not more” —, you know it to be true.

Bal Arneson has earned her god-dess status the hard way.

It’s heady times for someone who’s recently been named one of the sexiest women on food televi-sion. While it was her first cook-book, Everyday Indian, that put her on the cooking world’s radar, it was the huge success of her show, Spice Goddess, which is shown in 40 countries, that has positioned her in the galaxy of food stars.

When the Food Network created its spin-off, the Cooking Channel, Arneson was chosen as one of the bright lights in its firmament. Her new reality-TV cooking show, The Spice of Life, launched in the US last month, is sure to boost sales of her new cookbook, Bal’s Spice Kitchen, which will hit bookstores in the next few weeks.

The new show is shot at her home just outside Vancouver and always starts with breakfast — a time to connect with her children Anoop, 20, and Aaron, eight.

“No one is allowed to swear in my house,” she says during an interview at Cafe Artigiano on East Hastings, “even if it’s the word ‘stu-pid.’ I believe negative energy goes into the food. If you want to yell, go out of the kitchen because this is

a sacred place. It’s a place of love.”Cooking has always brought her

comfort, from the age of six when she first started adding spices to her mother’s cooking to a few years ago when she and her second husband were breaking up. “The divorce was heartbreaking and I went to fenugreek seeds and turmeric for healing. I live and breathe spices.”

If each soul is on a journey of its own making, as Arneson believes, then it seems odd she would choose a beginning such as hers. And yet, as she tells her story, she says she wouldn’t change a thing.

She doesn’t know the year she was born; her mother thinks it might have been when Pakistan attacked India in 1974 because they couldn’t light their cooking pits at night. She chose Feb. 1 as her birthday because she had a crush on a handsome Bollywood star born on Feb. 1. In another twist of fate, when she moved to Canada (to marry a man she didn’t know), the Canadian immigration official misread the 1 and put her birthdate as Feb. 7. That means she turned 40 last week. (Happy Birthday!)

Everyone in her Punjab village would have cried when they heard that her mother had given birth to a girl. Girls had no value; their only role was to be married off when they were 16 or 17. The mes-sage to Bal was always clear, never subliminal: you’re worth nothing, you’re worthless, your only job is to be a wife and be subservient.

Even at the age of six, she knew that this was not to be her life. “I knew it in my core, my DNA.”

And so she did what her DNA told her to do. “I embraced what I wasn’t allowed to have. Boys could climb or play marbles or run around the dirt streets. Girls couldn’t leave the home. I did everything I wasn’t allowed to do even if I knew I would be beaten. I embraced what life didn’t have to offer.”

Rejecting centuries of negative cultural mores would have taken up too much of her energy, she says. “If you start rejecting, it’s a loss. It’s too much. It becomes a conscious effort. I accepted rejection. I pushed myself through all those challeng-es. I didn’t want to believe this was going to be my life.”

When she was a teenager, her uncle arranged her Vancouver marriage. She moved here, unable to speak any English, and had a daughter, Anoop Virk. She was still a teenager when, with baby in arms, she found refuge in a shelter.

Leaving her husband also resulted in being cut off from her entire family.

“My mother told me, ‘You’ve brought us so much shame I wish you were dead.’ It was the last conversation I had with her.”

Young Bal decided that since she had no family, it was time for a little rebirth of her own. “My name was originally Baljit. Bal means strength and jit means win-ning. I took the jit off because I felt it wasn’t about winning or losing, it was about strength.”

Working as a housecleaner to earn money, she found her salva-tion in education, eventually earn-ing a Master’s degree. It was while she was working as a teacher in Coquitlam that she wrote her first cookbook. Today, she’s seriously considering getting her PhD.

During her rise as a food celeb-

rity, Arneson has transformed the scars from such a hurt-filled child-hood into roots that burrow deep into her soul.

I tell her that I admire people who are confident without going over to the dark side of being egotistical. But she gives me a dif-ferent perspective: “Ego is good. I had to force myself to be egoistic. I needed the ego within me to get me out of [the culture of subservi-ence] but what do you do with it? I demand — ‘What’s my worth?’ In the business world, your confidence can get you to a place but ego demands. Your presence should demand the results that you already have in your head. You’d better have ego if you’re a woman but you have to have the ability to turn it off and on. It helps you push the envelope.”

You can’t pretend to have this aura of power; Arneson exudes it, taking it from something that could be hard and controlling and making it deeply feminine and attractive. It reveals itself, unbid-den, in her every movement. She’s a woman who can make a ratty old sweater look like it came off a designer rack. She was wear-ing a $12 pair of sunglasses from London Drugs during a visit to LA and someone asked if she got them in Paris. When Spice of Life shot a camping episode that shows her walking from her tent to the lake, she didn’t feel comfortable strutting around in her bathing suit so she wore a shirt overtop. When they filmed her taking off the shirt, the image was so sexy it wasn’t appropriate for the show.

“I was in LA for business, with these big CEOs, extremely intel-ligent businessmen who are mil-lionaires,” she says. “Every single guy said to me, ‘The beauty is not the woman who takes her clothes off. The beauty is confidence.’”

Arneson is also probably one of the only Food Network USA hosts who doesn’t have an agent. She’s not about to give up control of what happens next.

“I want to have time to connect with all the people who are making my show famous,” she says. “I was disowned by my entire culture and now here I am. This is my path, so I can be the voice for young girls who are lost.”

Bal Arneson is one of the speakers at the Feb. 19 Public Salon hosted by Sam Sullivan. Go to GlobalCivic.org for tickets. Go to WEVancouver.com/contests for your chance to win one of the very first copies of Bal’s Spice Kitchen.

Behold the Spice Goddess’s strength

Born into a poor family in Punjab, told to marry a man in Vancouver she didn’t know, Bal Arneson has taken the hardships in her life and transformed herself into a person who’s now called one of the sexiest women on food television. She’s at the Feb. 19 Public Salon.

Just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s good. Nickelback, anyone?

While Pinot Gris, or ‘Pinot Grigio’ to some, dominates liquor store shelves and vineyards around the world, it

often gets dismissed as pedestrian or boring. Why is it that British Columbia’s most-planted white grape

gets such a bad rap? Well, part of its downfall is what makes it such a viable grape to grow.

The grape is a workhorse, both in the vineyard and in the glass. It’s heartiness on vines makes it adaptable to cool cli-mates and short seasons, resulting in a high-acid, clean and cit-rusy style, but it’s comfortable hanging out on those vines later in the season or in warmer regions, ending up more stone-fruit driven, viscous and weighty.

Want to age it in oak? Sure, the grape takes it in well. No oak? No problem. It’ll go in the bottle fresh, lively and clean.

It doesn’t have the nobility or kinship to minerality as Ries-ling, nor does it have the elegance or purity of Chardonnay. While related to Pinot Noir, it’s often received amongst wine trade as that grape’s under-achieving cousin.

It makes wines that are often correct, but for whatever reason, just don’t tug at the heartstrings; its wines are good enough and totally approachable (hence consumer popularity), but rarely great.

I took a look at some global examples recently, to see if the indifference rang true. I included a couple Pinot Gris-heavy blends as well, since it’s often used as a blending grape to add weight or richness.

Santa Julia 2012 Pinot Grigio | Mendoza, Argentina | $13.99 | BC Liquor StoresBaked green apple on the nose heads onward to yellow grape-fruit and a touch of mango on the palate. Right in-between that high-acid citrus style and heavier versions. Decent, simple take on the grape, with extra points for the winery’s sustainable take on farming.

Deinhard 2011 Pinot Grigio | Baden, Germany | $13.99 | BC Liquor StoresAromatics include apples, pears and even a speck of blue cheese, while lemonade and honey � ll the mouth with a small smattering of white � owers. Crisp, quaffable and lively.

Sperling Vineyards 2012 Pinot Gris | Okanagan Valley, BC | $20-25 | Private Wine StoresThe mineral-rich soils of Kelowna aid in bringing a little com-plexity to the mix with Ann Sperling’s stunner (yup, “stunner”) of a Pinot Gris. A basket of peaches, apricots, apple and quince are buoyed by good acidity and gleaming minerality. There’s a complexity here and I like it.

14 Hands 2011 ‘Hot to Trot’ White Blend | Washington State, U.S.A. | $16.99 | BC Liquor StoresThis blend of Pinot Gris with Chardonnay and Semillon is an apple pie of a wine that could use a touch more acidity and a slightly longer � nish, but would nonetheless handle spicy Asian takeout fairly well.

Laughing Stock Vineyards 2012 Blind Trust White | Okana-gan Valley, BC | $25-30 | Winery Direct/Private StoresA well-crafted blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Viognier brings orchard-fruit lushness and a light cradle of oak to lofty heights. A good example where in the right hands, and perhaps when other varieties join the table, this is a grape that can shine.

THE DISHIf you’ve never heard of Brad Miller, you’ve probably eaten his food without knowing it. Formerly at Bistro Pastis, West, and the now-closed Au Petit Chavignol, Miller is long and well-versed in the elements of French bistro cuisine (the stint in Paris and some time at a Michelin-starred resto didn’t hurt either). While his � rst run at ownership, The Red Wagon, is a casual diner focusing on all-day breakfasts sourced from ethical, sustainable ingredients with a French heartiness, Miller’s latest opening, Bistro Wagon Rouge, is all French, all the time, but still with a decidedly charming and blue-collar sensibility. The menu changes constantly, but expect a rotating list of classics such as cassou-let, duck con� t, and steak frites. The steak tartare blew me away and, as a bonus for those with dreams of kick-ing up their heels at Le Moulin Rouge someday, there is absinthe behind the bar, complete with a proper water drop dispenser that can muddle up to four sugared cocktails at a time. No resos, so just walk in and prepare to be happy. BistroWagonRouge.com

Head over to the West End’s Nicola Street, with its charming heritage homes and boutiques, then stop in at the neighbour-hood’s newest resident, the Greenhorn Espresso Bar (994 Nicola).

No one is looking forward to the reopening of the Roof ballroom on the 15th floor of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on West Georgia

Street as much as big band leader Dal Rich-ards, who played the iconic room with his 11-piece orchestra from 1940 to 1965.

During an interview, Richards reminisced about a night in the 1940s, when a nightclub promoter managed to sneak a very famous actor and his horse into the room via the ho-tel’s freight elevator. At the time, the popular venue was called the Panorama Roof.

“Roy Rogers was performing at the Pantages Theatre and they wanted to stir up some pub-licity,” said the 96-year-old Richards. “So they arranged to have him and Trigger come up in the elevator for a photograph with me.”

Richards is very much looking forward to once again visiting the room, which closed in 1992 and reopens Feb. 14 for a limited time as the Roof Restaurant and Bar.

During a sneak peak of the room, the set-ting sun filled the space with such gorgeous light that photographers snapped photo after photo in a quest to capture that one perfect moment in time.

And while the Roof was in the final stages of a renovation project, its potential was blatant with floor-to-ceiling windows flanking the north and south walls of the large space.

Richards said during the Second World War those windows, which on this night offered an expansive view of the city, ocean and sunset, were shuttered. “The view had to be blacked out so the Panorama Room had no panorama,” he remembered.

During Richards’ reign at the ballroom, the lineup of famous musical guests included Bing

Crosby, Bob Hope and Jack Benny. The band’s performances were also regularly broadcast nationally on CBC Radio.

“On a social level there’s been nothing like it,” said Richards.

Putting a modern twist on the vintage feel of the Roof is a new bar, which runs almost the entire length of the room and offers up

some of the signature cocktails served at the height of the venue’s popularity, including the Moscow Mule.

A new modern menu created by Fairmont executive chef Cameron Ballendine includes a global take on ingredients sourced from across the province. Afternoon tea will also be served each day at the Roof.

Ballendine is excited to see the Roof launched as a restaurant. The room was previ-ously only open during special events, such as weddings and, of course, Richards’ 95th birth-day celebration in 2013. Later the chef told the small crowd gathered it’s been interesting to learn how to create classic dishes from the 1940s and 1950s.

“I wasn’t around at the time,” said Ballen-dine, who added he used to think how amaz-ing it would be to one day become chef of the Roof. “And here I am.”

The executive chef said he’d like to see the venue opened permanently. For now the “pop up” concept will see the room open from Feb. 14 through the summer.

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver general man-ager Michael Pye told the crowd that while many set the groundwork before him, it’s his pleasure to be in place to see the Roof reopen. He added that so many memories have been made at the Roof, it will be exciting to see what this next chapter brings.

“And it’s opening Valentine’s Day as a love affair to this city,” said Pye.

We interrupt this winter to bring you a fabulous food and music

event… The second annual Festival Under the Bridge.

Last year the festival was all about food trucks; this year, Edible Canada is on the Olympic bandwagon. Tucked underneath the Granville Street Bridge on Granville Island, this Canadian-themed winter festival is part of the family-friendly Winterruption weekend and its own festive entity as well.

Along with live local music (including DJs and bands), Edible Canada House will showcase Olympic events on three giant projection screens, allowing more than 650 guests at a time to party the night away while cheering on the nation’s top athletes. And in true Edible Canada fash-ion, the subsequent fare will be quintessentially Canadian.

Numerous Canadian-inspired, mouth-watering food stations will be serving up cheesy perogies, bison chili, Alberta beef brisket and maple � apjacks and more, all paired with local beers from

Granville Island Brewing, and, of course, Canadian wines. And then there is Ed-ible’s famous “Garnish Your Own” Caesar bar.

Last year’s “Street Eats” version attracted more than 1,500 Vancouverites, and this year, the Sochi Olympics offers the perfect opportunity to do it all again while reliv-ing the glory of Vancouver’s 2010 Olympic energy.

Edible Canada House will run the entire weekend of February 14-16 into early mornings. Families with little ones are also welcome; there will be a play area with face painting courtesy of Granville Island Toy Company.

Day passes, which start at $25 plus fees at Eventbrite.ca, include two drink tickets, one food station ticket and unlimited Olympics viewing. Friday 6pm to 1am; Saturday 11am to 1am and Sunday 11am to midnight.

Valentine’s Day giftsRoses and chocolates — yawn! This year we’re putting a little quirk into our Valentine’s Day picks:• Find a passage from his/her favourite book, and have it framed. We’re partial to this one from Alice in Wonderland: “Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adven-tures…” We couldn’t agree more.• Once upon a time, jewelry from the mall meant true love forever. Now, it means, “We need to talk.” But we haven’t given up on hearts altogether. We love the Lisbeth Fawn Silver Heart Necklace — it’s whimsical without being saccharine. $89 at ShutUpILovethis.com.

• Vancouver’s Archimallows are little bites of heaven on a stick. Pick up a bundle of heart-shaped marshmallows to display as an of� ce “bouquet.” (Tip: stir the stick of peppermint hearts into hot chocolate for a sweet treat). $3/stick, look for the Archimallows pop-up shop at Holt Renfrew until Feb. 16.• Have a love that’s oh-so-far away? Send them a piece of your heart with these adorable and thoughtful post-cards (below). $9 at Chapters.ca.

Moe’s Home Collection has just completed a striking $250,000 renova-tion of its East Vancouver showroom.

Th e University of British Columbia will soon welcome an extremely intel-ligent addition to the area: Adera’s Prodigy, a condominium develop-ment that is already meeting some pretty high expectations.“Prodigy will be the best building we’ve ever built,” says Eric An-dreasen, vice-president of market-ing and sales for Adera. “We’ve taken what we learned from our past projects at UBC and put it all into Prodigy.”Prodigy will be Adera’s 11th and 12th buildings in the area, and will be built just west of one of the company’s most popular projects, Sail.Sail was Adera’s fi rst six-storey wood-frame building at UBC, and Prodigy will follow in its footsteps. With two buildings, 188 homes and an increase in the number of three-bedroom homes off ered, Prodigy is off ering spacious open fl oorplans and some truly gorgeous features, inspired by Adera’s famous West Coast Modern architectural style.Overlooking UBC’s Mundell Park, Prodigy will have an emphasis on outdoor, natural living, with extensive green space and natural pathways that will link the commu-nity together.“We are planning a massive water feature in the courtyard of Prodigy,”

says Andreasen. “It’s going to go right up to the ground fl oor patios. We’ve really accentuated the water aspect at Prodigy.”Th e exterior will be built with many elements of West Coast design, in-cluding strong coloured brick, natural cedar, painted wall panels with metal reveals and glass and metal railings.Inside, a dramatic two-storey glass lobby will welcome you and your guests home, and a bridge will con-nect both parts of the fi rst building.Th e homes themselves will feature an optional “Ultimate Gourmet Kitchen”, which is an Adera upgrade option. Th is time, Prodigy will also include gas cooktops, which An-dreasen notes have been requested by other Adera homeowners as well. Th ere will also be Toto fi xtures in the bathrooms and huge windows to let the natural light pour in and take advantage of the beautiful views. Most homeowners will have expansive views from their patios or balconies, including many overlook-ing the water feature and over to Mundell Park. Residents on the top fl oor will have their own private roof deck, which Andreasen calls the West Coast Lanai, another signature Adera option.“Th ese will be the largest rooftop decks we’ve ever done,” he says. “We

are also extending the soffi ting over a signifi cant part of the decks to provide protected space so you can get outside even when the weather is diffi cult.”Homeowners at Prodigy will have ac-cess to the i.D. By Me program, which allows you to customize your home with upgrades. Some of options you can choose include your colour scheme, upgrading your appliances, changing your fl ooring or custom millwork.

Homeowners at Prodigy will be able to take advantage of all the amenities that the Wesbrook Village neighbour-hood has to off er, including schools, parks, shopping, dining and recre-ation.“It’s literally just two blocks to retail and other commercial space,” An-dreasen says.Adera is encouraging interested buyers to register on the website in order to get advance information about Prodigy and an invite to the

VIP functions that will take place starting at the end of the month. Th e project is expected to open for sale to the general public at the beginning of April, and is expected to be extremely popular.“Th is project will truly be our own prodigy,” says Andreasen.Homes at Prodigy will start in the low 400’s. For more information and to register, visit www.adera.com, or call 604-221-8878.

Raising a Prodigy at UBC

Submitted photosAdera is bringing its second wood-frame building to the University of British Columbia with Prodigy, inspired by Adera’s famous West Coast Modern architectural style. Nature will be a big part of the community, with a large water feature, extensive green space and stunning views.

SHAUGHNESSYWEST END

By Glen Korstrom, BIV.com

Stakeholders are close to agreeing to a deal that would save Kitsilano’s 79-year-old Hollywood Theatre on West Broadway near Balaclava Street.

The City of Vancouver would give bonus density to the cinema’s current owner, Bonnis Properties, to allow its principal, Dino Bonnis, to build a six-storey condominium building on an adjacent lot that is currently zoned for a four-storey strata building.

In exchange, Bonnis would sell his cinema to a buyer, likely the Point Grey Community Church (PGCC), for below market value.

The PGCC, which leased the Hollywood for 14 months until its lease expired in Novem-ber, would then build a second storey atop the historic cinema and use that space for its operations. The church would also lease the cinema portion of the structure to a non-profit organization, which would rent space to community groups such as the Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver Opera and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

“Saving the Hollywood went from almost completely zero per cent likely two months ago to now being better than 50 per cent that we can save it,” Save the Hollywood Coalition (STHC) spokesman Mel Lehan told Business in Vancouver. “Nothing is certain, and it’s a

delicate thing, but basically all the players can come together to make this work.”

Lehan continues to appeal for a philanthro-pist to buy the building and donate it to either the city or to a non-profit organization that would be set up to administer the structure.

“We could also work with a group such as St. James Community Square,” Lehan said. “They’ve expressed an interest in being the operators. We’ll do whatever works.”

The four main stakeholders (the church, Bonnis, STHC and the city) have had private talks with each other but have yet to have a meeting where all are present, city general manager of planning Brian Jackson told BIV. He is trying to arrange that meeting.

City council in December voted on what it called a “heritage action plan,” which essen-tially gave staff new tools to use in negotia-tions with developers to preserve heritage. Jackson said one of those tools allows staff to provide more density on adjacent properties in exchange for saving a heritage resource. Any arrangement would then go to a public hearing and to council for a vote.

The site Bonnis wants to redevelop next to the Hollywood Theatre is zoned for six storeys of rental units but only four storeys if the units are condominiums.

Both Bonnis and PGCC’s Sarah Kift declined to comment for this story.

rant/rave

A signal of stupidityI’ve noticed that because of the new bikeway on Comox that the light at the intersection of Den-

man and Comox has been programmed to constant-ly be switching to green for traffic on Comox even when there is nobody there... Even in the middle of the night, traffic travelling north or south on Den-man is constantly being forced to stop for no rea-son. This used to be a traffic controlled intersection (either by cars waiting or by pedestrians or cyclists pushing the button). Of course now, there is even less (eg. almost none) traffic actually travelling on Comox because of the bike lane, except for cyclists (and I really almost never see any cyclists there any-way). What is the point of this? Are all intersections on bike lane routes programmed to give priority to

cyclists?? It’s absolutely ridiculous. The light for east and west bound traf-fic on Comox should NEVER be green unless somebody actually activates it. Our daft hippy mayor needs to get his stupid head out of the clouds and actually look at the real ramifications of some of his BS ideas!

What’s a four-letter word for...This started off as a RAVE in that the WE has actually had the good sense to start featuring a crossword within its pages... but it quickly turned to a RANT when, as a crossword aficio-nado of many years standing, I found that several of the clues (and answers) were just so obscure. I mean, how many readers can place their hands on their hearts and tell me that they knew what the four-letter word solu-tion to “Far East Wet Nurse” was? Or

what the clue “Ribonuclease” was all about? Maybe it’s just me being thick but to have words in a free-sheet crossword (in both clues and solutions) that need to be looked up in a dictionary, or cribbed from the solution on the opposite page, is quite a serious misreading of your target market. It’s not as though this is The Times, right? Roger

Stamp out the mail Canada Post is financially strapped and is therefore cutting back on residential deliveries, etc. Today I re-ceived a flyer in my mail encouraging me to use “epost” to receive bills, do banking, and more. Does this not take away from Canada Post’s revenue? After all they have just increased their postage rates, to make ends meet. Or am I missing something?

Nordstrom to welcome Tesla and Lululemon to downtown neighbourhoodBy Glen Korstrom, BIV.com

Pacific Centre’s owner expects the downtown Vancouver mall’s 44,000-square-foot retail expan-sion to be full when both it and a

230,000-square-foot Nordstrom department store open in spring 2015.

This despite no leases having yet been finalized.

Nordstrom will occupy three floors of the former Sears building — each slightly more than 73,000 square feet. Those floors are the street level and floors two and three. Four above floors will house office tenants and a basement level is being transformed into an expanded Pacific Centre.

“We expect there to be between 10 and 14 new retailers on the con-course level of the expanded Pacific Centre,” Cadillac Fair-view senior vice-president and portfolio manager for Western Canada Tom Knoep-fel says. “For many of those retailers, this will be their first store in Vancouver.”

An escalator is expected to rise out of the concourse to the corner of Granville and Robson streets.

Some retail observers have speculated that a future underground link could be built between Pacific Centre and Fairmont Hotel Vancou-ver by tunnelling under the front lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Ivanhoe Cambridge has been remaking the retail component at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and is expected to soon welcome fashion retailers such as Christian Dior.

Knoepfel said no such link has been contemplated.

Tesla moving inElectric car maker Tesla has leased space to open its sec-ond Canadian showroom in April in a 1,500-square-foot space formerly occupied by an H20+ skin-care bou-tique, between Burrard and Hornby streets. Tesla opened its first Canadian showroom in Toronto’s posh Yorkdale Mall last year.

“By being in high-traffic areas, we’re able to pique the interest of people,” Tesla spokesman Patrick Jones told Business in Vancouver. “That launches us into a whole sales strategy which is more about educating consumers about electric vehicles rather than pushing a product on them.”

Sales have consistently exceeded estimates, helping its share price more than triple this year despite a recent controversy about its batteries catching fire and complaints about glitches.

“They will sell cars, but the Robson Street location is really meant to showcase their brand,” said Dig360

Consulting retail analyst David Gray. “Victoria’s Secret is doing the same thing, although you can pay your rent a lot faster by selling a few Tesla cars than you can by selling bras.”

Tesla cars range in price from about $74,000 up to more than $133,000.

Lululemon flagshipLululemon, meanwhile, plans to build a flagship store across the street from the 30,000-square-foot, four-month-old Victo-ria’s Secret and the future Tesla store.

The yoga-wear giant has applied for a building permit for a site on the southeast corner of Burrard and Robson streets, where there is a Blenz coffee shop. The store will also include some of the empty space for-

merly occupied by New Balance.More change will soon come on the

southwest corner of Robson and Burrard streets, where female fashion retailer Bebe has opted not to renew its lease.

“The Bebe site is really the big story,” said

CBRE senior vice-president Mario Negris. “Here we have one of the highest-profile locations on the street and all of a sudden it’s vacant.”

These stories first appeared in Business in Vancouver.

Nordstrom is transforming the corner formerly occupied by Sears.

THE MONUMENTS MENStarring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate BlanchettDirected by George Clooney

Well, this is awkward. Here we have a film intent on extolling the virtues of art, yet incapable of demonstrating any vision. In fact, George Clooney’s fifth directorial effort lacks even a clear concept of what it wants to be. For all of its earnest intentions, the script’s plot points are predominantly indebted to caper films, but this supposed race against the clock possesses all the pace of a leisurely stroll.

Opening in 1943, this partially true story finds Frank Stokes (Clooney) petitioning FDR to allow him to assemble a bookish team to liberate the masterpieces stolen by the Nazis and bound for Hitler’s proposed Führermu-seum. Cut to a vaguely comic basic training

montage that sees the charismatic likes of Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman and Bob Balaban being put through their

paces before they’re dispatched to wrest back irreplaceable works of art (except for Damon, who’s sent on an ill-defined mission to Paris that largely consists of making eyes at Cate Blanchett).

Unfortunately, the failure of 2008’s Leather-heads seems to have left Clooney wary of in-dulging his screwball tendencies. Consequent-ly, Stokes is prone to dour speechifying that sees him speaking of “art” in the same broad strokes as someone who claims that “all types” is their favourite kind of music. Alas, Clooney and cowriter Grant Heslov also appear averse to depicting the horrors of war, with Alexan-dre Desplat’s overwrought score diminishing the impact of the film’s few powerful images.

For all of its smug self-importance, The Monuments Men can’t convince us that it’s any-thing more than an insubstantial, ill-con-ceived and utterly disposable vanity project. — Curtis Woloschuk

THE LEgO MOviEStarring Chris Pratt, Will FerrellDirected by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller

As the insanely catchy pop song that domi-nates the radio airwaves in the fictional city of Bricksburg states, “Everything is awesome!” — a phrase that rings true for The Lego Movie. This hilarious and heartfelt ad-venture, that just about anyone can enjoy, explodes onto the big screen in wildly colourful, blocky mayhem.

Movies based on toy lines are a tricky business but filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the duo behind Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street, spent more than three years developing the project, which could have easily been a silly, forgettable 90-minute commercial.

Instead, The Lego Movie is virtually flawless; not only is it the funniest and most exciting

feature in years, it also seamlessly blends a familiar story (perhaps the only drawback) with the cultural phenomenon that is the iconic brand.

The vocal talents of the cast are some of the best ever assembled for a computer animated flick. Chris Pratt is simply endearing as the hapless, generic construction worker who is

mistaken for the prodigy that can restore balance in the Lego uni-verse and take down the evil Lord Business, voiced with impeccable, maniacal glee by Will Ferrell. In addition, Morgan Freeman, Eliza-beth Banks and Will Arnett, as the

perpetually moody and gruff Batman, all craft their characters brilliantly.

The verve of the movie is relentless, there is literally never a dull moment, and the humour is so witty and fast-paced the adults will be laughing as hard as the target-audience children.

Lego figures Emmet (Chris Pratt) and Batman (Will Arnett) bring on the laughs in the 3D animated adventure The Lego Movie. Warner Bros. Pictures

AT THE INTERSECTION OF STYLE AND VERSATILITY.

The words ‘Honda Civic’ send me backto the year 1990, when at the age of 15, I sat wistfully in the car that would be my best friend’s first ride: a 1984 hand-me-down Civic hatchback. The car, a present from her auto mechanic

father, was well loved, but to us she was perfect and reeked of freedom, and opportunity, and rites of passage. The memories of that car remain great and vivid ones today.

Since 1973, more than 3.9 million Honda Civics have been manufactured by Canadians at Honda of Canada in Alliston, Ontario and more than 1.7 million Civics have been parked in driveways across the country over the years, with approximately one million still on the road today. In 2013, for its 40th birthday, the Honda Civic again handily outsold its nearest competitor to the tune of 9,303 units to retain its spot as Canada’s best-selling car for the 16th consecutive year.

As one would expect, driving the 2014 Civic LX Coupe was a far cry from that 1984 hatchback. Today’s Civic is sportier and handles surprisingly well through tight turns; overall a fun car to drive.

After a redesign in 2012 and a major refresh for 2013, a few things about the 2014 Civic Coupe particularly impressed, aside from its new stylish back end. The new Civic uses HondaLink™ Next Generation connected-car technology; an application-based platform that allows integration between your smartphone and the vehicle, providing access to online and cloud-based content and information. It was such a simple hands-free system to use. In fact I didn’t need to “use” anything. As soon as my phone was paired with the car the first time, any time the key was turned, Honda Link™ would automatically recognize my phone, even transferring audio to the in-car speaker mid-call. It was one of the most pleasurable (and glitch-free) experiences I’ve had with a hands-free system to date. Other new available features on the 2014 Civic include

Also impressive was the gas mileage considering this isn’t a hybrid vehicle.

The all-new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is available on the

gasoline only powered Coupe and Sedan and improves fuel economy on the LX Coupe and LX

The Civic Coupe is available in LX and EX trims with a 5-speed manual transmission or the new CVT and EX-L Navi versions with CVT. The Civic Sedan comes in DX, LX, and EX 5-speed manual, or LX, EX, and Touring with CVT. Pricing starts at $15, 690 for the Civic DX Sedan and $18,840 for the Civic LX Coupe.

powered by hydrogen will be price competitive against other zero-emission vehicles some time shortly after 2020,

says Toyota’s chief officer of research and development, Soichiro Okudaira. He told industry journal Automotive News Europe that he is confident that cost reductions will come through soon enough to help sell initially between 5,000 and 10,000 units a year of its FCV Concept production model, due on sale in early 2015.

horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her TED talk, science writer Mary Roach made it clear that human beings don’t need genital stimulation to experience orgasms. She spoke of a woman who routinely reaches ecstatic climax by having her eyebrows caressed, and another woman who reaches the big O simply by brushing her teeth. Then there’s the woman who can simply think herself into coming, no physical touch necessary. I can’t guarantee that a similar aptitude will sud-denly turn on in you, Aries, but the coming days could bring you as close as you have ever been. Right now you’re a con-noisseur of deep pleasure — a blessed bliss master.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself,” writes blogger Sahaj Kohli. Nothing else rescues you from that quest, either, I would add. Sooner or later, whether it’s now or 20 years in the future, you will have to master this � ne art. It’s not enough to merely feel affection for yourself; not enough to seek pleasure and avoid pain. You’ve got to make extensive investigations to discover what it means to love yourself; you have to develop rigorous plans for how to accomplish it; and you must � re up a deep commitment as you actually carry out those plans. By the way, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to work on mastering this � ne art.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Drunk with my madness, I shouted at him furiously, ‘Make life beautiful! Make life beautiful!’” So says a character in a prose poem by Charles Baudelaire. And now, even though I am neither drunk nor furious nor consumed with madness, I am whispering the same command to you. I hope you will respond by embark-ing on a heroic effort to make life beautiful everywhere you go. The omens suggest that if you do, you will be inundated with practical blessings that are as valuable as money. This will also be an excellent way to drum up the kind of love you crave.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s what I wish for you during the Valentine season: to be happily in love with an intimate partner who loves you back. If that’s not feasible, here’s what I hope: that you are learning provocative lessons about your-self through your growth-inducing relationship with a close ally. And if you’re not blessed with either of those experienc-es, here’s a third alternative: that you cherish your fathom-less longing for its own sake, feeling wonder and reverence for its wild power even if it’s unful� lled.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Making eye contact is essential for building potent links with people you care about. It bypasses rational thought, stimulating chemical reactions in your bodies that enhance empathy and intimacy. In practicing the art of love, it’s one of the most potent moves you can make. This Valentine season would be an excellent time for you Leos to explore the frontiers of what’s possible through prolonged eye contact. Start here: Cultivate a sincere desire to know what’s simmering inside the souls of your dearest allies. With that as your driving force, your gaze won’t be clouded by shyness or self-consciousness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I prefer an ecstatic orgasm to a lot of angst,” says Filipino artist David Medalla. I hope you consider making that your battle cry during this Valentine season. It would be in rapt harmony with the current cosmic omens. There really is no need for you to get sidelined by anxiety or distracted by stress when the natural remedy is so easily available. In every way you can imagine, � ght off sour-ness by engaging in acts of joy and pleasure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In her poem “Implications of One Plus One,” Marge Piercy marvels at the way she and her long-term partner keep � nding new nuances in their love-making. “Ten years of � tting our bodies together / and still they sing wild songs in new keys,” she writes. What’s their secret? It’s “timing, chemistry, magic and will and luck.” What I wish for you this Valentine season, Libra, is that you will have access to all � ve of those ingredients as you reinvigorate your relationship to love. More importantly — based on the cur-rent cosmic omens — I predict you will have access to them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Jesuit priest Pedro Arrupe touted the practical value of being totally in love. “What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect every-thing,” he said. “It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.” Are you in love, Scorpio? With either a person, a beloved animal, a certain patch of land, your creative work, or life itself? If not, there’s no excuse! Astrologically, it’s an excellent time for you to be stupendously in love with some-one or something — anything! If you are already in this state, trust your intuition to make it even smarter and � ner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Borrowing the words of Rumi (translated by Coleman Barks), I’ve prepared a love note for you to use as your own. Give it to a person whose destiny needs to be woven more closely together with yours: “You are the sky my spirit circles in, the love inside love, the resurrection-place.” Would you like even more inspirational words to deliver to your chosen one? I hope so. Be greedy for lyrical bonding. Lust for springy intimacy. Feed your churn-ing yearning. Try saying this, lifted from the book The Last Unicorn: “We are two sides of the same magic.” And be sure to say this, paraphrased from Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh: “I love you in a way that will always make you feel free.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “People think a soul mate is your perfect � t,” says author Elizabeth Gilbert. “But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back.... They tear down your walls and smack you awake.... shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you.... transform your life.” Does that sound like the kind of person you want in your life, Capricorn? Or do you prefer someone who likes what you like, appreciates you just as you are, and makes your life more secure and comfortable? This Valentine season is a good time to make or renew your commitment to one choice or the other. Whatever you decide, you’re likely to

experience it on a richer, deeper level during the next 12 months.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you feel oppressed by Valentine’s Day? Maybe you’re single and reject the cultural bias that says being in an intimate relationship is the healthy norm. Or maybe you’re part of a couple but are allergic to the cartoonish caricatures of romance that bombard you during the Valentine marketing assault. If you’d rather conse-crate love and intimacy in your own unique way, untainted by the stereotypes � ying around, I invite you to rebel. Make this the year you overthrow the old ways and start a new tradition: Valentine’s Day 2.0. Mock sappy, sentimental ex-pressions of romance even as you carry out futuristic experi-ments in radically slaphappy love.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I have come to be fascinated with the messiness of desire,” writes novelist Ashley Warlick, “with the ways people � t themselves together, take them-selves apart for each other, for want of each other, for want of some parts of each other.” Your assignment, Pisces, is to celebrate the messiness of desire; to not just grudgingly accept it as an inconvenience you’ve got to tolerate, but rather to marvel at it, be amused by it, and appreciate it for all the lessons it provides. Your motto this Valentine season could be, “I bless the messy largesse of my longing.”
