2 Scottsdale I FALL 2012
Lookin’ ‘Fall’bulousIt was just last year when I step foot into a completely
unfamiliar world — where a mass of stunning socialites gathered, most donning couture from head to toe; where wine and various cocktails were consumed like water on a dry, summer day; where glamour was taken to a seemingly impossible new level.
Here I stood at Phoenix Fashion Week at Talking Stick Resort. And even in the haze and lights and within the swarm of attendees, one thing was made very clear: fashion is the backbone of Scottsdale; residents thrive off it. And thus, an issue or two later, the Style section of Scottsdale Living was born.
This issue’s Style section is one we’re particularly proud of. Partnering with an incredible team of people, we’re showcasing sophisticated, sleek and sexy fall attire, perfect for your next gala, cocktail hour or date night.
But, before you can look great in fall’s hottest fashions, how’s your skin looking after basking day after day in the summer sun? Sure, that tan of yours looks great now, especially while wearing those neon-hued bottoms and tops, but you may find yourself with sun-damaged skin in desperate need of care and hydration. Flip to page 6, and you’ll find tips from local experts on how to repair the harmful effects of tanning.
So, let’s make this fall the most fashionable, and healthy, one yet. And, yes, that includes your next camping trip with your girlfriends. Instead of roughin’ it, take a more luxurious approach with “glamping” on page 20.

Summer: the season for temporary solutions — such as that crash diet to slim down for your leave-little-to-the-imagination bikini; and, let’s not forget about those days spent tanning either on the beach or in the tanning
booth, just for a bit more color.While some bad habits can be forgiven
and forgotten, others can lead to long-term damage, such as skin cancers.
“They’re going to get a temporary tan,” says Dr. Lorna Frederickson, M.D., FAAD of Arizona Skincare Physicians, PLC, “but sustain permanent injury to their skin. You can’t really repair all of the cell damage.”
According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), there were more than 2.6 million skin cancer treatments in 2011 performed by ASDS members in the united States, with 2.49 million of them for non-melanomas.
Closer to home, Frederickson says the number of skin cancers they’ve diagnosed and treated at the practice has increased. She
REJUVENATE
The Burning Issue of Sun Damage Repair the harmful effects caused by natural and indoor tanning exposure
goes on to say that women as early in their 20s are developing multiple skin cancers, likely due to tanning bed use.
“Natural or indoor tanning is probably the leading contributing cause to aging of the skin,” Frederickson says. “It’s something people should stop doing, not just for the photo damage, freckling, loss of elastic-ity and wrinkling, but also because of skin cancer risks.”
And once those in their late 30s or 40s has endured an excess of sun or tanning bed exposure, racking up a fair amount of skin damage, Frederickson says one of the best ways to treat it is with laser treatment.

REJUVENATE
One of the most common laser treat-ments at Arizona Skincare Physicians is Fraxel Dual 1550/1927, which stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out. It targets aging and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into one’s skin to expedite the body’s remodeling of collagen. And accord-ing to Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Ptak M.D., F.A.C.S., collagen is an impor-tant element to younger, healthier skin.
“The skin is like a sponge,” Ptak says. “Loss of collagen combined with sun damage can age the skin quickly.”
Frederickson adds that both young and older patients, who have discoloration from the sun, pre-cancers, blotchiness and freckling, can benefit from the Fraxel Dual laser treatment due to how safe it is and its minimal downtime.
“It’s great for younger patients because they don’t need aggressive lasers,” Freder-ickson says. “I will also use it on patients in their 80s because they don’t want a lot of downtime, or they have a lot of medial issues — or for a whole host of issues.”
To avoid skin cancer risks and sun-dam-aged skin, Frederickson says to not only stay away from indoor tanning, but to also not smoke.
“The only other thing besides ultraviolet light is smoking,” Frederickson says, “and
the two together have a negative synergy and magnify one another’s ill effects.”
Other tips from Ptak to keep your skin hydrated and healthy include decreasing caf-feine intake, drinking more water and using sunscreen.
Lastly, Frederickson advises to consult a skincare professional with any questions or concerns you may have, as well as for smaller, noninvasive treatments, such as botulinum injections or Botox.
“I see a fair number of women who have gone outside of a core speciality,” Frederick-son adds. “I’m negative about the many spas because I end up fixing a lot of problems out of there.”

“Women in their 30’s or 40’s do have their fair share of adult acne,” says Dr. Lorna Frederickson of Arizona Skincare Physicians, PLC. “It’s very frustrating, and very common.”
7 Oily/Acne-Prone Skin Tips:1. Wash your face as many as two to three times a day. However, over-wash-ing can lead to increased oil production, so find a balance. 2. Use an oil-free, non-comedogenic (doesn’t block pores) foaming cleanser that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to prevent breakouts. 3. Every morning, apply moisturizer that contains sunscreen and is lightweight and non-comedogenic. 4. Reapply a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from the sun.5. Exfoliate once or twice a week, but it’s not necessary during acne break-outs. It can make acne worse.6. Avoid products with cocoa but-ter, cinnamon and coconut oil to help prevent breakouts. 7. To help soften fine lines, use a retinol gel or serum nightly. Source: American Academy of Dermatology

Rough Play
Improper golf swings harm not only your reputation, but also your healthBy Kristine Cannon
FALL 2012 I Scottsdale 13
Don’t be fooled by the seem-ingly tame appearance of a game of golf; the physical ac-tivity involved on the golfers’ end can leave risk for injury
if the correct precautions aren’t taken.In 2009, the u.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that there were more than 55,000 visits to hospital emergency rooms for golf-related injuries. And according to Dr. Adam Downs, D.C., owner of Mountain Vista Health Center, roughly 60 percent of avid golfers will sustain some sort of injury within the next year with the percentage increasing by about 20 percent the older people get.
So why are golfers so susceptible to injury? Two reasons: 1) an improper golf swing, and 2) lack of warm-up and strength training.
Downs, Eric D. Marcotte, owner and chiropractor at Endurance Chiropractic, LLC, and Doug Hammond, director of instruction at Troon North Golf Club, all agree that a proper golf swing is important to avoid an injury on the course. Downs says most amateur golfers have injuries related to poor technique — roughly 70 percent of all injuries.
“Proper golf posture at setup already creates a tremendous amount of load on the lumbar spine,” Hammond says. “If a person is in poor golf posture and in-creases that load, there becomes a serious risk for an injury to the back.”
According to Downs and Marcotte, the top four injuries include the aforementioned back pain as well as golfer’s elbow (medial or lateral elbow), shoulder injuries and hip injuries. Downs adds that these are common throughout all ages of golfers, with back pain and strain the most common.
Wrist, hand and shoulder injuries can be caused by an off-set grip or swinging the club too upright in the backswing.
“A person who swings the club too upright in the backswing usu-ally will create a steep angle of attack into the golf ball on the downswing, causing the club to crash into the ground,” Ham-mond says. “This crash can cause a serious wrist injury — common in ladies — or elbow tendinitis over time.”
To improve one’s swing and address swing faults, golfers should take lessons, practice, train, condition and warm-up properly before a game — a step Downs says most golfers don’t take. Take care of your joints, shoulders, knees, hips, elbows and wrists through drills, practice techniques and maintaining range of motion; keep blood flowing through these areas.
Marcotte adds that golfers should work on different areas when training for different shots and swings. For instance, focus on balance for bunker shots and uneven lies; flex-ibility for increased torque and power generation through the trunk and hips; hand-eye co-ordination for ball striking and ball contact; strengthening for improved lumbar and LE stabi-lization; and focus on cardio-vascular exercise for stamina and generalized conditioning.
While some may believe there’s no perfect golf swing,
one can sure try through training, consis-tency and simply taking care of one’s self — on and off the course.
Injuries Par For The Course
Golf-related injuries are more common than one may think. The repetitive motions over time can place significant stress on muscles, tendons and joints. Here are some prevention tips, provided by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS):
Prevent Golfer’s Elbow Strengthen your forearm muscles:Squeeze a tennis ball for 5 minutes at a
time. Wrist curls using a lightweight dumb-
bell. Perform 10 repetitions with each arm by curling the weight from your fingertips to your palm, followed by curling up your wrist to lift the weight an inch or two higher.
Reverse wrist curls using a lightweight dumbbell. Place your hands in front of you, palm side down. Using your wrist, lift the weight up and down. Hold the arm that you are exercising above your elbow with your other hand in order to limit the motion to your forearm. Perform 10 repetitions with one arm and then repeat with the other arm.
Prevent Lower Back Pain Strengthen lower back muscles:Rowing: Perform three sets of 10 repeti-
tions at least three times a week.Pull Downs: Perform three sets of 10 rep-
etitions at least three times a week.Yoga and Pilates: These programs focus
on trunk and abdomen strength and flexibility.
Prevent Foot Injuries Insert orthotics in your golf shoes to help
stabilize the feet and establish a healthier contact with the ground during the swing.

ESSENTIALS
While sports play-ers are revered for their talent, it can be difficult to deny the obvious: their looks,
especially when they’re gracing the cover of magazines; appearing in local and na-tional on-camera interviews; and market-ing products, from Steve Nash in Vitamin Water commercials to Michael Phelps’ recent “Core Values” campaign for Louis Vuitton.
And here in Scottsdale, one cosmetic dentist in particular is familiar with the importance of an athlete’s image — Dr. John Badolato (or “Dr. B”), owner of Studio B Smiles.
Dr. B has been enhancing local sports players’ smiles for about eight years. Not only is he the official team dentist of the Phoenix Suns and the team dentist for the Arizona Rattlers, Grand Canyon uni-versity and the Phoenix Suns Dancers, but, let’s not forget, he’s also the Official Cosmetic Dentist for ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition.”
With so many high-profile clients, he knows image, particularly one’s smile, is important, both on and off the court.
“There’s two factors that over the last couple of decades have come into play,” Dr. B says. “One has always been there; that’s a player’s off-court and on-court marketability. These guys have side deals where they’re able to market their products, so, of course, they want to have a great smile. That plays into the cosmetic part of our practice.”
The other factor? High-definition tele-vision. “Those two things together have really developed a niche practice with us with a bunch of athletes,” Dr. B adds.
Studio B Smiles8952 E. Desert Cove, #108, Scottsdale (480) 860-0092studiobsmiles.com
“It’s great to do a makeover and then see them on the TV or new the next day.”
But don’t get the wrong idea. Dr. B is set out to do more than just transform one’s smile with procedures such as whit-ening, veneers or smile makeovers. He wants to help change lives, too. And that all began after a friend introduced him to Chris Powell, who is now the trainer on “Extreme Makeover.”
“Chris and I got paired up through a friend because we both were in the make-over business; he was training the body, and I was doing the smiles,” Dr. B recalls. “So, we cross-referenced and built our own local makeover team.”
Fast forward through success stories that would catch the attention of national media, and the rest is history.
“It’s great to see these peoples’ lives change,” Dr. B says. “As they lose weight,
as they reach milestones, they gain confidence, and you can just see it. It just glows off them as they go through this process.
“I’m a small part of it with the smiles, but when you put it all together, you just see these people, their potential and where their lives can go from there is radically different than they were 365 days prior,” Dr. B says. “When you can do something by changing their smile that has an impact on their overall self-confi-dence, their self-worth, their self-esteem, that reward is priceless.”

Misconception: Fall fashion calls for dark colors.
As we saw with the spring and summer months, the brighter the ensemble, the better. And it isn’t any different for the fall season — albeit, we aren’t talking DayGlo bright. Tone it down, and go for honey gold, tangerine, chartreuse, rose and especially blue. Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs and Herve Leger, to name a few, all rocked the blue hue on the runway.

When you have Michael Kors working with the woolen, flecked fabric, you’re left with garments that are more than just a replica-tion or recreation of your grandmother’s tweed dress collection. Kors knows how to take this classic fall statement borrowed through the years and transform it into an elegant and timeless look. Pair it with some Manolo Blahnik pumps, and you have a match made in couture heaven.

That’s the
end of tattTattoo removal industry
is booming as more try to live without regret
By Michael Gossie
NEW YOU
FALL 2012 I Scottsdale 19
Joelle Murray is a typical Scottsdale soccer mom. She is 34. Two kids. She drives a BMW SuV. She takes yoga three
times a week. She loves her life.
But she hates her ink.“I have a tramp stamp,” Murray
smiles, referring to the derogatory term for a tattoo that a woman places on her lower back. “I got it when I was in col-lege. Now, I hate wearing anything that shows it.”
Murray is not alone. Forty-five million Americans have a tattoo, and a recent study showed that one-third of them regret their decision to get inked.
“I see people who come directly from the tattoo artist, from a day to a couple weeks afterwards, because they don’t like what they got,” says Dr. Jennifer Mundt, attending physician at Delete Tattoo Removal & Laser Salon in Phoenix.
Tattoo regret has created a booming business for Mundt and others in the business of removing regret. According to a study by The Patient’s Guide, an
online grouping of medical publications, there will be 32 percent more tattoo removals in 2012 than in 2011.
“Most people get tattoos when they’re younger – 18, 19 or 20,” says Shelley Cook, clinical laser instructor and tattoo removal specialist at National Laser Institute in Scottsdale. “When they turn 30 or 40, they start to look at that Daffy Duck on their arm a little differ-ently. I have lots clients who’ve simply outgrown their tattoos, and others who need to remove them to get ahead in the professional world. And, there are a lot of people who want to take off their old tattoos to replace them with new ones.”
Experts say technology is making it easier than ever to remove a tattoo.
“The process of tattoo removal is actu-ally really quick,” Cook says. “Depend-ing on the size of the tattoo, a session
can be over in a matter of seconds.”
According to Cook, this is how the laser tattoo removal works: A highly concentrat-ed pulsing light targets the black or multi-color ink. This breaks up the tattoo pigment within the skin — splitting it into tiny fragments that are
flushed out through the body’s lymphatic system. The tattoo will fade over time, and most clients will need around 10 to 15 laser treatments for the best results.
“The success of the process can depend on several things, including a person’s body chemistry, as well as the size and color of the tattoo,” Cook says. “Black is the easiest color to fade, and blue and green are the most challenging. Also, the closer the tattoo is to your heart, the easier it will fade.”
Since treatments can only be done once every four to six weeks, tattoo removal can take more than a year to complete. As for cost, treatments range from $50-$400 per session, depending on the size of the tattoo, so you can expect to pay more than $1,000 for a successful tattoo removal.
“On average, it’s about 10 (sessions to remove a tattoo),” Mundt says. “I’ve gone has high as 15 and as low as three.”
As for the belief that removing a tattoo is more painful than the needles that cre-ated the tattoo in the first place, Mundt says that is just a myth.
“The No. 1 misconception is that it has to be painful,” she says. “It does not have to be painful at all. I numb probably 95 to 98 percent of my patients. My favorite saying when their first tattoo removal is done is, ‘Dr. Mundt, that was it?’ It can be very easy with numbing. They do not feel a thing.”

ESCAPE
A new trend has emerged that not only accommo-dates all of your camp-ing needs, but also your luxury needs. Ladies,
meet glamping. Glamping is a more luxurious way to
enjoy the great outdoors, providing glam-orous amenities and services. Tents, for example, are often built with an electrical power source, offering appliances, light-ing and climate control for guests. As if that isn’t luxurious enough, ditch your sleeping bag and upgrade to either an air mattress or king-sized spring mattress, sheathed in Egyptian cotton sheets. The best part? Camp is set up prior to your arrival, so all that’s left for you to do is to simply enjoy.
The royal treatment doesn’t stop there; full-course meals, laundered clothing, comfortable transport-
ation and on-location spas come stan-dard. Don’t let all this glitz fool you, though; guests will still embark on river rafting adventures, safaris, go rock climbing and spelunking. The biggest difference being at the end of the day, instead of coming home to a crooked, wet tent, a wait staff and a toasty fire will greet you.
As this fad’s popularity soars, several resorts offer glamping escapades, as well as the chance to design your own custom camping adventure. And this includes
The Phoenician, a luxury resort and hotel in Scottsdale, which offers its own inter-pretation of glamping, per request. “The Centre for Well-Being actually offers guided hikes at Camelback Mountain,” says Denise Seomin, director of public relations for The Phoenician. “The resort also has bikes available to guests to ex-plore the 250-acre grounds. In addition, the concierge staff can arrange a diverse number of active pursuits to add to the glamping trip, from horseback riding to river rafting.”

One of the things that I have always loved about owning my own home is having the ability — on a whim — to demolish a wall, ceiling or fl oor as needed to accommodate
my need for more kitchen space, a basketball hoop or solid space for a treadmill.
So Joel Miller’s story on page 26 of this issue — “Home, Suite Home” — really resonated with me. Th e story talks about how many homeowners are basing their remodeling projects on hotel rooms they’ve stayed in or vacation spots they’ve visited when changing up their master bedrooms.
In the last house I owned in New York before moving to Arizona, there was a third-fl oor attic that was basically 1,000 square feet of wasted space. I decided to remodel it based on a room that I loved in a ski lodge I visited with friends in college. I completely gutted the whole fl oor, put a brick base in the center of what was becoming a 1,000-square-foot loft, and put a wood-burning fi replace/stove and chimney on top of the brick base. Th at loft eff ect, combined with the fi replace in the middle of the room and the incredible views from the third-fl oor windows, turned that waste-of-space attic into the most romantic master bedroom you can imagine.
Just thinking about it makes me want to bust out another wall.

Evolving from a place with a distinct purpose to a lavish escape, home showers are becoming a peaceful getaway and the focal point of the bathroom.
Incorporating features such as steam rooms, surround sound speakers, LED chromatherapy lighting, benches, shelving, showerheads that resemble the undeniable sensation of gentle raindrops with the help of air-injection technology and massaging body sprays at every level, home showers are becoming a therapeutic relief in which many
homeowners are quickly investing.“Showers have become the epicenter
of the bathroom,” says Jeremy Smith of Central Arizona Supply. “Homeowners no longer feel they have to have a great bathtub. Instead, there are so many amazing features in showers that are being taken advantage of that are giving the therapeutic aspects that the bath used to give.”
As bathtubs are now becoming more of an aesthetically pleasing element than regularly-used items, it’s out with the sunken soakers and in with the spa- and sauna-like showers.
“What is being done to these rooms today has become more of a place of retreat than just a place to quickly get things done,” says Tim Thacker, owner of COHACO Building
BATH
Channeling the chic sensibility of lavish resort spas, luxurious home showers are no longer just reserved for affluent retreatsBy Samantha Belli
Shower Sensations
Specialties, explaining the changing faces of in-home showers. “The bathroom has become a place to relax, retire and rejuvenate.”
According to Thacker, a big part in this maturing trend is the multitude of options in materials and technology available today.
From matching faucets and handles to calming tile accents and streamlined shower enclosures, bathrooms have evolved beyond the spa and incorporated a personalized touch to suit a homeowner’s specific needs and wants.
Becoming a popular home investment, an added bonus to these upgrades, according to Smith, is that they are now able to reach a wider range of customers due to competitive price markets lowering the cost of such
items. As a result, what is considered a lavish upgrade can now be a more attainable addition to any homeowner’s bathroom.
With such a large selection of bells and whistles to make your home shower resemble the spa of your dreams, homeowners are urged to test before they buy and explore every option available. Smith strongly suggests working closely with your contractor so every detail is appropriately accommodated to meet both your needs and your body’s needs for the best therapeutic results.
For those considering incorporating spa-like features, Thacker says, “Homeowners are finding that the money used in this area is very well spent. It has been proven that in a remodel, the money spent in redesigning a bathroom will always allow you to recoup your expenses when the home is sold or just having it reappraised.”
Manufacturers are now starting to mix the perks of top-quality, in-home saunas, steam rooms and luxurious showers, manufactures with products that
incorporate more sustainable and water-saving technologies.
“We see many features such as smart temp-controlled valves and insta-hot water to replace water heaters for more saving attributes,” says Melissa Kale, president of Picasso Tile and Stonework.
According to Smith, the addition of such eco-conscious elements is, “definitely the next frontier.”

Owner of Park Avenue Design Studio, Gabrielle Roeckelein, ASID, shares why she chose to tackle the world of retail, who her new showroom will cater to, what makes it unique and more.
How did this showroom come about?I have been designing in the Valley for over 14 years and have run a successful interior design business from home. The timing was right to reinvent my company and expand into a retail setting.
Who is the showroom designed for? Who’s your clientele?The showroom is designed in two fashions: The new retail customer who desires crisp, tailored, USA-made, one-of-a-kind, custom upholstery goods at a reasonable price. We also have a trade library for interior designers to shop with/for clients who need extra items, such as case goods and occasional tables as well as accessories with discounts attached.
What products and services do you offer?We are a full-service interior design firm with ASID professionals on-site. We provide our clients with new-build specifications, renovations and upgrades as well as single room items. We have it all — tassels to tiles!
What’s one item or aspect in/of the showroom you love to show off?Our neutral showroom is unique in that our customers can come in and shop for a “shape” that fits their lifestyle without being influenced by a particular fabric or leather cover. Our Norwalk Gallery, which is open to the public, has clean, refined silhouettes in both transitional and traditional styling. We offer more than 1,500 fabrics to choose from and have the technical capacity to build one online in our showroom and match the fabrics right then and there for our clients.
What makes your showroom stand out among others?The “come into our living room and enjoy the experience” attitude of making the design process wonderful, easy and practical.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?We are open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays by appointment. We are happy to open our showroom to clients who want special attention and needs if they desire a private design experience.

FALL 2012 | Scottsdale 15
The 7,880-square-foot custom home of the legendary driver and founder of the world-famous Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving,
Bob Bondurant and his wife Pat welcomes family, friends and racing associates with tinsel and gingerbread, garlands, glittering wreaths, food and festivity.
Since 1968, the Phoenix school, at Firebird International Raceway since 1989, has trained 400,000-plus students to be better drivers, including 90 percent of NASCAR drivers, movie and entertainment stars, kart racers, car enthusiasts, housewives, teenagers, military specialists and chauffeurs for anti-terrorist and anti-kidnapping training.
“On average, we have about a dozen close friends with kids and grandkids who love to tour the house during the holidays,” says Pat, whose grown children are Meagan and Jason. With daughter-in-law Nicole, Jason has two children, Ty and Payton.
“Following their Bondurant sugerplum overdose, the grandkids and others always leave with a cellophane-wrapped gingerbread boy or girl and squeal above the grown-ups they want a giant tree just like Ms. Pat’s,” says the Memphis, Tenn., native. She relocated from Seattle to Sedona in 2001, where she owns a television station. Two years later, she moved to the Valley with Meagan and Jason for their education.
The traditional, 16-foot twinkling tree in the living room recalls when close family friend, Elvis Presley, toting a gingerbread house for the family, stopped by Pat’s
home in 1959. “I vowed to have a tree to bring that memory to my own children and grandchildren every year,” she adds, noting that all 800 gingerbread-themed and glittering ornaments are candy, sugarplum or gingerbread edibles.
In flight next to the candy-laden tree are eight, full-scale reindeer, suspended from the 24-foot ceiling, led by bright-shiny-nosed Rudolph. “I love the same surprise year after year when the visitors see that Rudolf is really up there,” she says. “This is the real-deal reindeer house.”
Rockin’ around the recessionLast Christmas, the jet-setting couple
welcomed many others through their spectacularly decorated double front door.
Traditionally, they schedule the Bondurant School’s annual Christmas Party for about 100 employees and spouses at a plush Valley ballroom; but last year, with the prolonged recession, the couple hosted the party at home. It’s “a big hit,” reports Pat, who, as the school president, is guiding its future into new markets, such as global franchising, adding locations in the United States and attracting women as students, corporate planners and gift-buyers for husbands, dads, sons and boyfriends.
“The days of ties and cologne are over for holiday gifts,” Pat says. “Women are our biggest consumers of Bondurant course gift certificates. Their men love it because they can decide the course selections.”
The Bondurants also welcomed their

neighbors —a doctor, a former World Champion Diamondback, an acquisitions broker — as well as those who look after their home such as landscapers, housekeepers and their families.
“The last few years in recession, some people have had no interest in putting up a tree or trimming the house,” Pat says. “We played down gift-giving with tight budgets, but nothing stops the annual Bondurant Gingerbread House Decorating Party; it leaves the entire house smelling like the gingerbread house family.”
The home itself is a snow-globe of holiday themes, colorfully wrapped and bow-tied to get everyone in the spirit of the holidays — particularly through the recession, which hit the Valley like a race car on a sharp-turn wall.
It was the Christmas dose of glitter, gingerbread houses, twinkly lights and eight flying reindeer that people needed: “Usually by the next day, Mom will get the calls that the Christmas spirit finally hit them, and our home put them in the mood as they were pulling decorations out of their attics,” Meagan says. “I love the magic it has on everyone.”
A winning gift — holidaysand year-round
Finished with many of the couple’s individual and shared memories, the citrus-shaded, Santa Barbara-style one-story was built on two-plus acres in 1984 by Hermosa
Homes, with design by David Ross, both from Scottsdale.
The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home and grounds include a 50x20-foot saltwater pool; a Jacuzzi hot tub; a ramada serving as the outdoor living and dining room with a circular staircase to an observation deck; lighted tennis courts and a basketball court; a 600-square-foot stand-alone casita; mirrored gym; a 1,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine room; and the original
equestrian tack room, now storing the family’s holiday decorations.
In 2002, Pat, who once owned an award-winning architectural firm, completed a renovation when she purchased the home. Hand-selecting the best local talent to her high standards, she chose Phoenix’s Ernesto Garcia, ASID, for the interior design. He helped accomplish her goals such as displaying memorabilia back to childhood and, more recently, incorporating Bob’s beloved automobilia from five decades as a driver and teacher.
After they married in May and June
2010, first at the school, then in Monaco on Turn 12 of the Formula 1 Grand Prix race course where Bob raced four times, he moved in with crates of man-cave stuff that needed a home, too.
“Bob and I share an intense love of the European culture, richness, history and finesse, so there are gobs of fabulous gold trim on everything in our home,” she says. “It’s filled with our love of fine things, our children and our love.”
In the living room, for example, are two bronze women holding torches above their heads to illuminate a large oil painting of a white stallion given to Bob on Father’s Day by Jason and Meagan, symbolizing the connection between horses and horsepower. Both Bob and his dad were both passionate equestrians; his dad took him to his first car race when he was eight. Pat’s dad also had his children on horses at early ages.
Other items in the main house and casita are Versace rugs, sculptured mermaids, Wyland’s turtles, dolphins, mischievous leprechauns, fairies and mermaids, angels and hearts.
One of their favorite rooms is the shared library, finished in stormy-blue Italian plaster and walnut-stained beams. Here are autographed race books by world-famous racers; Pat’s extensive collection, including many books about Leonardo da Vinci, her role model and mentor; and many car models, mementos and pictures recalling Bob’s track feats and racing associates

such as Stirling Moss, Mario Andretti, Ken Miles, Phil Hill, Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart and Enzo Ferrari.
Among these memories is Bob’s 1965 FIA World’s Manufacturers Championship. With other members of the Carroll Shelby Racing Team — Jo Schlesser, Jochen Neerspasch, Jack Sears and close friend Dan Gurney — he bested Enzo Ferrari’s unbeatable GTOs. And, a half-century later, they are still the only American team to win this prestigious event; Bob won seven of the 10 races to take the trophy — four of those solo.
Just after, the “Commandatore,” Ferrari himself, asked Bob to drive F1 for him — his most cherished racing accomplishment.
Holiday goodies,turkey to Saint Nick
At the Bondurants, Christmas preparations begin once the Thanksgiving turkey is eaten.
“The table is complete with Fitz and Lloyd turkey tureens, candleholders for each place setting, cornucopias, the pilgrim decorations and family-recipe cornbread dressing to set the tone for the upcoming holidays,” she says.
About dusk, when the dishes are done, the family pulls out the first string of Christmas lights; these are strung atop the TV cabinetry. The family has a coin toss for a favorite Christmas DVD to be played, and Pat serves and stirs cups of hot cocoa with candy canes and holiday cookies as the lights set the mood.
The family Christmas table, following Pat’s southern tradition, is decorated for all of December, and the newest 1,000-piece, Christmas-themed puzzle requires a full-day’s effort of two shifts to complete as family tradition dictates its completion by the end of Thanksgiving night. It remains on the coffee table throughout the holidays for everyone to enjoy.
Every gift under the tree is wrapped and topped with Pat’s signature, embellished handmade bows, each with a theme of angels, snowmen elves or large, glitter-dipped bells. One present per person is opened Christmas Eve.
“Without fail, everyone finds a pair of Christmas pajamas, and fuzzy, warm
Christmas-themed socks are the fun gift and ‘always a surprise,’ ” Pat says. “The PJs have always had a Santa or Christmas theme, and there have been times that, last minute, I have hot-glued cute items on the collars, cuffs or pants just to make sure the reaction tops the year before.”
Christmas morning is met with homemade pecan sticky buns and cheesy scrambled eggs; and, within the hour, the smells of the Christmas dinner float through the home, mixed in with the gingerbread, peppermint and evergreen and the scents of eight more themed trees.
“Christmas with Pat tops any Christmas I have ever experienced,” Bob says. “The house is decorated like the New York downtown Macy’s department store; her cooking is out of this world, and I have never gotten presents with stick-on bows. The presents are wrapped so fantastic, you don’t want to
mess them up to open the gift. I thought this magic was only in the movies, but I actually live it, and it’s just fantastic.”
Last year, Pat surprised him with a race-track-ready 1966 Ford GT40 — just like the ones he used to race many years ago. “No wife thinks of a Christmas gift like that,” says Bob, who celebrates his 80th birthday April 2013 and the school’s 45th two months earlier in February 2013.
Bob’s mom celebrated and lavishly decorated for the holidays, too, but he admits that Pat has taken the season to a higher level. “Everything in my life with Pat has the ‘wow’ factor,” he says. “She loves showing me how exciting life can be through her eyes. I am the happiest I have ever been in my entire life!”

Master bedroom remodels create relaxing, vacation-like sanctuaries at home
Home, Suite HomeBy Joel Miller

With the prevalence of smartphones and tablet computers, it seems everyone is always on the go. People are “connected” at all
times to work, family or any number of other responsibilities — making life quite hectic.
“With such busy, plugged-in lives, people are looking for a space to retreat and relax,” says Janet B. Cook, president of Cook Remodeling in Phoenix. And this desire to escape everyday stress has resulted in a trend toward renovations aimed at creating a hotel-suite-like bedroom to serve as an isolated and peaceful space in the home.
“People who are remodeling continually reference a hotel they recently stayed at when describing what they want their master bedroom to ‘feel’ like,” says Jill Anderson Keig, an interior designer with Wiseman and Gale Interiors in Scottsdale. “Th ey want a refuge that is more than just a place to sleep; it is a place to unwind and recharge. Th ey want a comfortable and inviting space — just like the one they saw on vacation.”
Keeping with this vacation-at-home theme, master bathrooms are also increasingly emphasized, along with removing distractions, such as dedicated offi ce spaces, opting instead for comfortable seating areas and the relaxing ambiance off ered by fi replaces.
“Th e bedroom sizes have scaled down a bit in new construction homes, and the master bathrooms sizes have increased for that spa feel,” says Kerri Foreman, senior designer with Vallone Design in Scottsdale. “Most of our recent clients are doing away with the separate sitting room and instead incorporating a small seating space back into their master bedroom.

“Fireplaces are still very popular, as well as TVs; but the separate sitting and the trend towards an offi ce right off the bedroom are no longer popular. We see it as people trying to bring back the sanctuary retreat and lessen the amount of distractions in their bedrooms.”
As with any renovation project, a clear plan should be laid out from the beginning when tackling a master bedroom redo. Th is will ensure a fi nished product in line with your tastes and tailored to your unique habits.
“Considerations to take into account should include determining the lifestyle and activities particular to that room,” Keig says. “Th e most common mistake in a master bedroom remodel is making the room too
small; it doesn’t need to be enormous and wasteful, but it always needs a comfortable sitting area with a place to put your feet up.”
“How do you live?” Foreman asks. “Do you enjoy spending a lot of time in your bedroom? Do you watch TV in the morning or before bed? Do you read to unwind? Do you have pets or children that will use the room with you? Do you like to sleep in complete blackout or wake up with the sun?”
For any master bedroom remodel, Foreman adds, the No. 1 concern should be creating a space you’ll want to use.
“We have seen beautiful rooms with grand furnishing and details but fi nd the client does not enjoy spending a lot of time in the space,” Foreman says. “Th ey made the space so formal that they saw it as more of a showpiece and less of a sanctuary.”
Overall, the consensus among designers and homeowners alike is that the bedroom is an integral part of the home, and that its potential as an at-home sanctuary should
not be overlooked.“It seems everyone is fi nally considering
their bedroom a priority, which makes complete sense when you calculate how much time you spend there,” Keig says.
Foreman agrees, “In the current economy, people are feeling stress in every facet of their lives, and coming home to a relaxing environment has become more and more essential.”
