The night before, after performing with trumpeter Chris Botti at the wedding of a successful English hedge fund manager, she tripped and fell on Ia glass she was holding, sending shards splintering deep into her left hand. The cut severed three nerves and missed a tendon by less than two millimeters.

Lucia’s manager, music legend Bobby Colomby, called in Dr. Charles Lane to examine the hand. “So the doctor opens up the bandage,” Colomby recalls. “He looks and says, ‘Yeah, got you pretty bad here. We need to schedule surgery as soon as possible.’ So Lucia starts crying, and I say to her, ‘Right now we actually have a choice: we can look at this as the worst thing that’s ever happened in your career, or we can say ‘it’s going to be fine’ and we’ll figure out a way to make everything work. And my recommendation is to be optimistic because that’s part of the healing process.’” I meet Lucia for dinner at Il Forno Caldo restaurant in Beverly Hills. It’s been six months since the accident and Lucia is in town from New Orleans, where she’s now taken on a new career: acting. As luck would have it, HBO came calling just as she needed time to rest her hand. The show, ‘Treme,’ is a drama series written by “The Wire” creator David Simon, and Eric Overmyer. The plot, set against a post-Katrina backdrop, follows the lives of an eclectic group of New Orleanians trying to rebuild their lives. Lucia plays a violinist street musician. She shows me her scars and ponders how she went from professional musician to professional actor playing a musician. “I was out of work. The doctors are telling me, ‘It’s going to be six months before you’re fully recovered.’ My left hand is screwed, and then this offer comes in. Acting? Really? Me? I guess while my hand’s out of commission, I could go and learn something else.” Lucia Micarelli was born in Queens, New York, to an Italian-Amer- ican father and a Korean mother. When she was five years old, the family moved to Hawaii, and at seven, Lucia was performing in front of an orchestra as a soloist. Regrettably, I mention the word genius and Lucia lets me have it. “I hate the word ‘genius.’ I think people misuse it. They think that if someone’s a genius, everything just happens. That’s bullshit. It’s about respecting yourself and your talent, and realizing that there are no shortcuts. Whether it’s now or later, you have to put in the effort to get from point A to point B. You can’t just take a side street.” In Lucia’s case, that effort included Juilliard prep school, followed by a stint at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. It was there that she hit a wall. “Music college was really not what I expected,” she says. “It didn’t make sense to me that after eight years of being in a music school, I was in another music school—and to what end? Am I just going to take theory classes forever? It didn’t feel right, so I dropped out.” And how did her mom take this decision? “My mom was a little upset,” she says sheepishly. “She thought it was really irresponsible. I

60 GENLUX SPRING / 2010 was studying with an amazing teacher in a studio of only six students, I had a full-ride scholarship, and I had a stipend to live on. My mom’s like, ‘Are you insane!?’ ” When Lucia reveals that the amazing teacher was 21-time Grammy-nominated violinist Pinchas Zukerman, I side with her mom and feel the urge to strangle her myself. But Lucia defends her decision. “Honestly, if I hadn’t dropped out of school, I still may not have listened to a non-classical record. I didn’t listen to a single non-classical anything ‘til I was 17. Never. I only listened to classical music. I only went to classical concerts.” Then, three words changed her life: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. “A friend of mine was like, ‘There’s this tour called TSO and they’re looking for someone to play electric violin. It’s like a rock-opera, crazy show with a band and lasers and pyrotechnics. Everyone is wearing leather, and there’s smoke up to your knees, and stuff ’s blowing up to packed arenas! After six weeks, I was so addicted. I was like, ‘I don’t know what this is, but I want to live in a tour bus for the rest of my life.’ It was awesome!” Good fortune strikes again when she’s standing outside the TSO bus in the parking lot of the Grand Ole Opry. “My cell phone rings and the guy on the other end says, ‘Hi, this is Josh Groban. I’m a singer about to go on my first tour, and I’m looking for a violinist.’” As the Groban tour was rolling on, Lucia signed a record deal with Warner Bros. and released her first album, “Music From a Farther Room,” executive- produced by Groban. Then another famous rocker, Ian Anderson, caught Lucia’s performance and contacted her. “He invited me to tour with Jethro Tull.” Lucia remembers, “I was thinking, ‘This is so weird. What on earth? What am I going to play? What’s a violin going to do there? But if he wants me, then I just have to do this.’” Then Chris Botti came calling and she joined his tour. “I first saw Lucia perform with Josh Groban and I was just mesmerized,” Botti says. “She’s a rock star and she’s a brilliant violinist. In the “Chris Botti in Boston” special, the way she performs Emmanuel and the passion she puts into her playing really stole the heart of the evening.” YouTube Lucia Micarelli and you’ll catch her ripping through a screaming rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir, wearing a slinky, somewhat revealing dress by Yvette Romano—in her bare feet. Lucia explains, “When I first started doing the barefoot thing it wasn’t a fashion choice, it was a comfort choice. Being in a gown and being done-up but being barefoot makes me more comfortable, earthy and approachable. It’s more sensual, so my movements are more fluid.” And her hand? On October 16, only three months after her accident – with her hand healed – she rejoined Chris Botti on stage at the Clearwater Jazz Festival in Florida. Now into her second month of shooting ‘Treme,’ (Lucia’s other job), she says, “It’s one of those projects where I look around at all the people and think, ‘What am I doing here? How did I get into this room? This is the cool room.’ For my first acting experience to be with HBO, with David Simon, Wendall Pierce, Steve Zahn, Melissa Leo, Khandi Alexander, and John Goodman, it’s like a dream project. It’s art and it’s politically relevant. It’s beautifully shot. Amazing actors. Everybody in the entire ensemble is so good. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I knew it when I went down there, and every day affirms it. I am so lucky.” G SPRING / 2010 GENLUX 61

April Bowlby is as beautiful, fashionable, and sexy as she is downright hysterical.

ummy. That’s a word April Bowlby uses often in conversation, but not in an annoying way. In fact, after a two-hour-plus lunch with the actress, it’s clear that there isn’t a single thing to dis- Ylike about her, except maybe the fact that she loves French fries with a passion while still managing to maintain a dancer’s body and impec- cable skin. But if you were to ask April to describe herself, she’s likely to use another, more self-deprecating adjective. “Goofy. That’s just who I am. Even if I try to fight against it, it doesn’t work!” she laughs.

But other words come to mind after you’ve spent some time chatting with April: charming, accessible, genuinely funny. It’s this humor that’s made her a popular character on such shows as “Two and a Half Men,” “Drop Dead Diva,” and “How I Met Your Mother,” and she swoons about playing the love interest of that show’s star, Neil Patrick Harris. “I had a huge crush on him during his ‘Doogie Howser’ days. And then in ‘How I Met Your Mother’ I totally got to make out with him because he played my boyfriend. I was like, “Aha—dream come true! One down, forty-five to go!” Fendi dress, $1225, Speaking of dreams, April is far from the Hollywood cliché of the star- Neiman Marcus, let who dreamt of becoming an actress since childhood.

I wanted to become a ballerina because they don’t have to speak, but they get to perform and be seen—you wouldn’t know it, but I’m shy.”

hen I point out that because of her lithe, graceful frame, she would have made a perfect ballerina, she seems genuinely surprised. “Really? Oh, thank you!” she says while mock-fluttering her eyelashes. On this day she’s wearing a Juicy Couture coat and boots by Marc Jacobs, who, she says, is one her favorite designers, along with Ralph Lauren. But she describes her Wpersonal style as much more eclectic. “I’m a bit Holly Hobby,” she notes, referring to the rag-dress-wearing character popular in the ‘70s. “I like comfy and really cute, yummy pieces, but I’m trying to evolve into a nice, classic, clean Audrey Hepburn style.” Having said that, however, April admits she’d be reluctant to give up her wardrobe of “yummy, comfy, strange, delicious clothes.”

April’s beauty regimen is equally homey. “I don’t pluck my eyebrows—I wait until I get a job and then have them clean them up for me,” she laughs. “Also, I love taking baths, using scrub on my skin that just makes it glow and yummy.” She’s got definite plans for her hair, which is blonde at the moment but was a fiery red during her stint on “Two and a Half Men.” “I’ve already decided that after ‘Drop Dead Diva’ wraps in July I’m going to go brown. I think changing your hair color makes you look at yourself differently and a new energy comes out. Also, I feel that as a blonde, my goofiness might be too much for people—but if I have dark hair, it tempers my goofy personality a bit.”

“I feel Bucking the trend among most actresses, April is actually eating her lunch (a healthy chicken sandwich) during our interview, so I ask about that as a her diet. “I love French fries,” she says dreamily. “They’re my favorite food. And I really like Taco Bell. Sometimes when girlfriend’s husband blonde, my is out of town, we go to Taco Bell and then we have scary-movie night, goofiness and it’s the best night ever.” Toward the end of our meal, April joins in singing Happy Birthday might be with a group of women dining at the next table, and she’s humble and gracious when they recognize her from “Two and a Half Men,” even when they good-naturedly chide her for divorcing Jon Cryer in too much the show. In real life, April isn’t married, but is happily involved with someone. “I have a boyfriend, and he’s awesome. He’s delicious and I for people— like him very much,” she giggles. but if I have April Bowlby seems to be such an intrinsically good person that you can’t help but wish for huge success to come her way.

It was claimed that he found fame through Isabella Blow, while he was at St. Martins. She told everybody about him. Wearing his couture clothes in turn made her famous.

WHY ALL THE BUZZ ABOUT LATISSE? Latisse™ Eyelash Extension is a topical prescription product from Allergan, the makers of Botox and Juvéderm. It’s the first and only scientifically proven product approved by the FDA to stimulate eyelashes to grow longer and thicker. Latisse™ is a prescription eye drop for glaucoma that was discovered to also stimulate eyelash growth (and in some patients, eyebrow growth). While using Latisse, lashes continue to grow without shedding as they normally would. Results are typically seen in four to eight weeks, but may take up to three months. When lashes have reached k the desired length, maintain them with two to three treatments per week. If application is discontinued completely, eyelashes will begin to shed normally and return to their pretreatment appearance in two to four weeks. Two-month supply kit, $130, 310-550-0288

Genlux Out-of-Towner One of the fashion industry’s fastest-rising stars, Rachel Roy began her career when, fresh out of college, she ventured to New York and began styling fashion shoots and music videos. Her keen eye landed her an internship at Rocawear, where she climbed the ladder all the way to creative director. ¶ But Roy was destined to make her own mark. (Indeed, her first fashion memory involves making over her brother, Rajenera, “dressing him up and perfecting his style,” when they were kids.) So in 2004, she created her own eponymous collection, which now encompasses four full collections a year, as well as a diffusion line, Rachel Rachel Roy. ¶ The Rachel Roy woman “is inspired by life, past experiences, what’s to come, women around her, art, colors, paintings, and emotions,” Roy says. “She’s modern and classic with a twist. The ‘twist’ is the most important, as this allows self-expression and personal style.” ¶ Roy’s philosophy has clearly struck a chord; among those who’ve put their own stamp on her classic looks are Iman, Sharon Stone, Penélope Cruz, and Michelle Obama. —Shannon L.
