Style Magazine - September 2021
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is easy. Pizza. It’s acceptable for breakfast (I take mine fresh out of the fridge), lunch, dinner, and every meal in between. Plus, there’s enough variety (sauces, crusts, baking vessels, toppings) that I don’t think my taste buds would ever find a slice that wasn’t nice. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a pie that didn’t catch my eye; even frozen pizzas are my friend. With that said, some are certainly better than others and receive rave reviews for a reason. In-season ingredients, dough handling, a suitable sauce to cheese ratio…all this, and more, plays into the finished product. In this month’s feature, “Pie Oh My!” (page 61), we share 25+ out-of-the-pizza-box creations that’ll hopefully have you hungry to branch out of your (thin…or maybe thick) crust comfort zone and explore more of our region’s praiseworthy pizzerias. If you’re looking for one last hurrah before summer comes to a close, consider a staycation. In “Vacation by Design” (page 54), we share some hip home rentals that aren’t only aesthetically appealing but sited within walking distance to a trove of treasures, too—from Apple Hill to Historic Folsom to Old Town Auburn. It’s a good reminder that getting away doesn’t always mean going far away. What else comes with the changing seasons? A change in your wardrobe. For readers wondering what to wear when the temps dip down, we turned to the pros—personal stylists to be exact—and asked them how to look fresh this fall. Flip to “Dress Code” (page 48) for their top style tips, plus a list of local boutiques we love. One trend that never goes out of style? Supporting small businesses. So, whether you’re deciding where to pick up tonight’s pizza or what to do this weekend, I encourage you to choose the mom-and-mom places featured in this month’s magazine. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

Drawn to Each Other by Joshua<br />
Lawyer & M.J. Lindo-Lawyer<br />
Located at Acton Academy Placer in Roseville,<br />
local artists Joshua Lawyer and M.J. Lindo-Lawyer<br />
collaborated on a mural titled Drawn to Each Other.<br />
M.J. kickstarted the process by choosing a reference<br />
they had photographed. Afterward, she created an outline of the<br />
main figure, and in turn, her husband Joshua was able to build<br />
upon it fashioning a story out of the art. Together they produced<br />
a narrative of what Joshua explains as “the natural attraction of a<br />
bee and a flower.” Then, there is a trail the bees are following, which<br />
Joshua says is “kind of a fragrance [the female] puts out.” When<br />
discussing the motivation for the piece, Joshua explains that they<br />
wanted “the narrative [to] be pretty playful and work in a school<br />
setting.” The difficulty, however, was in maintaining the simplicity of<br />
the mural’s narrative, which stretches across three walls of a cubeshaped<br />
building—a challenge the two overcame together. The final<br />
piece offers us a story of the natural attraction found in nature and<br />
between individuals, whether it be friends or more, and serves as an<br />
excellent piece for an educational setting. @joshuathelawyer<br />

Land and Sea<br />
by Esther Chow<br />
Inviting us to dive into<br />
Roseville’s David R. Johnson<br />
Memorial Pool is Esther Chow’s mural, Land and<br />
Sea, comprised of mesmerizing designs and the<br />
use of vibrant colors. The piece took about 12 days,<br />
says Chow, having collaborated with fellow artist<br />
Zoey Rosenthal. “We wanted something bright,<br />
fresh, and fun—something that would appeal to the<br />
community, especially the children and teens who<br />
frequent the pool.” As Chow contributed patterns<br />
and colors to the piece, her partner presented a<br />
bold composition and her love of animals, like the<br />
giant octopus. “The design was done in two phases”<br />
Chow further explains. After gaining approval for<br />
their first draft done on gouache, they created a<br />
mock-up on Photoshop to project the image onto<br />
the wall and then traced the outline with graphite.<br />
“Since the projection only works at night, we were on<br />
the streets till 3 a.m. the first day to get the design<br />
onto the wall,” explains Chow. Despite the grueling<br />
heat, Chow and her partner finished the mural, which<br />
celebrates the playful nature of the environment and<br />
our community while encouraging us to partake in<br />
our own fun, too.<br />
