2010 OUT & ABOUT 500: STYLE

Style Star: Kappie Bliss

kappie_bliss.JPG
What a perfect name for a style star. A blissful feeling wafts from Beyond Tradition, the accessories boutique in the Second Street District. Charles Erwin, who temporarily lives out of state, is the kindly husband who goes along with the social flow. Bliss often gathers stylish types in the shop, but she and Charles go out, supporting myriad causes, as well. [New photo by Emily Gerson.]

1196218373241847.jpg
Writers generally fade into the woodwork. Not so Bird, a social Roman candle the minute she fires into a room. Husband George Jones sings no country music, to our knowledge, instead working for the Texas Water Development Board. Bird writes for Knopf and Texas Monthly. They contribute time to Austin Coalition for Environmental Sustainability, Badgerdog Literary Publishing and Austin Bat Cave. What else? Bird: “I’m the worst board member ever for Southwestern Writers Collection.”

Education Star: Meria Carstarphen

Meria-Carstarphen-A_209381c.jpg
Let’s start with this: The Austin Independent School District superintendent shows up. Everywhere. She’s at a tiny reception, or she’s on campus, or she’s at an arts event that has nothing to do with her job. Carstarphen does it all with grace and panache. Among the groups she serves directly: Austin Partners in Education, AISD Public Education Foundation, Dell Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Austin Symphony Orchestra and Great City Schools.

2010 OUT & ABOUT 500: ALL-STARS

All-Star Stars: Donna Stockton-Hicks and Steve Hicks,

M5X00117_9.JPG
If Democrats control Austin, and Republicans control Texas, the Hickses bridge the social gap. Their influence starts with CapStar Partners, Andrew Harper Travel, Harden Healthcare and other businesses. They open their classy Pemberton home to groups such as Austin Recovery, SafePlace, Family Eldercare, Center for Child Protection, Women’s Fund of Central Texas and, especially, the tiny Rise School of Austin, for which the Hickses hope to raise $3 million this year.
