Fodor, has always been in the forefront of the latest techniques. He welcomes your inquires about Buttock Enhancement, VASERsmooth™ and all other body sculpting procedures. Dr. Fodor is easy to talk to and will be happy to explain your procedures in detail. In our experience, flat buttocks is an aesthetic concern to a great number of patients at any age. There are excellent surgical options to improve the buttock appearance. In patients with fat deposits in other body areas such as abdomen, love handles and thighs, fat can be strategically suctioned, appropriately processed and introduced into the buttocks during the same operation setting. A “2 for 1” so to speak. Alternatively, in other individuals who do not have sufficient excess fat, a soft silicone gel implant can be placed in the buttocks through an incision in the buttock fold. Once this is healed, the incision is well hidden and invisible.” Buttock Enhancement or the Brazilian Butt Lift Dr. Peter Fodor If you are concerned about skin surface dimpling known as cellulite in areas such as your outer thighs, abdomen or buttocks, etc., there is now a new surgical modality through which you can not only eliminate unwanted fat, but also improve the skin surface.VASERsmooth™ is a specifically designed ultrasound powered instrument that breaks apart fatty tissue.

James Kazanjian's lifelong quest for exquisite and extraordinary gems led his explorations to some of the world's most remote and exotic destinations, where he was able to acquire rare jewels from the Maharajas in India; the largest rubies and sapphires from mines in Africa and Sri Lanka, as well as other historical pieces from a variety of discerning collectors and luminaries. Brothers James and Harry's patriotism toward their adopted country led them to commission four of the largest sapphires in the world totaling 8,139 carats to be carved into busts of the most admired U.S. Presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Eisenhower. The busts now reside in the Oval office at the White House. The Kazanjians discovered the largest black star sapphire in the world known as the “Black Star of Queensland.” Originating in Australia, it weighed 733 carats. Its sale was used to create a scholarship program at the Gemological Institute of America, where, son Michael served as a member of the Board of Governors. In addition to these spectacular sapphires, the Kazanjians also acquired one of the world's largest rubies known in existence at the time. Weighing 8,500 carats, it was found near what was believed to be the legendary “King Solomon's mines”in Africa. This extraordinary crystal was designed by Stanley Kazanjian and carved into a rendering of America's Liberty Bell to celebrate the nation's Bicentennial. A more recent discovery of a rare 5.05 ct red diamond known as “the Kazanjian Red”was discover by grandson, Douglas Kazanjian. It is now the centerpiece of the Kazanjian Foundation, which has been helping charities since 1957, through the display and sale of private jewelry collections. The red diamond is currently on display at the American Natural History Museum in New York City. Over the years, the Kazanjians developed a reputation as “Deans” of the International Jewelry Industry. Their legacy continues today through their heirs; sons Michael and Stanley, as well as grandson Douglas and granddaughter, Michelle. The Kazanjians continue their quest to uncover the rarest gems and estate jewels while cultivating ties with some of the most prominent families and institutions worldwide. below: Grandparents Mr. and Mrs. James Kazanjian (Euphrates) The Bel Air Affaire A New York Night of Cabaret B el Air Affaire Event Chairs: Renae Jacobs-Anson and Dr. David Anson, and Helen Jacobs-Lepor and Dr. Norman Lepor.

If you can believe it being named the Grand Marshal of the 125th Tournament of Roses is something that very few can claim. The man with the golden voice is perfect for this job. He recently made plans to come back for his 65th season with the Dodgers, so why not this. “His own life is on in which many dreams have come true and even more importantly, he has been at the microphone describing for listeners everywhere the dreams of others coming true,” said Tournament of Roses President Scott Jenkins. “I know his fans everywhere are cheering right now.” Scully is more than humbled- he wasn’t even sure he would accept. However after a little push by his wife he accepted. “I am deeply humbled and greatly honored to be the Grand Marshal of the 125th Rose Parade,” said Scully. “I look forward to sharing this wonderful moment with my wife, Sandi, and the millions who will be watching.” During the years there have been many big greats that have come before him including: Dwight Eisenhower, Frank Sinatra, Hank Aaron, ‘Sully’ Sulliberger, John Wayne, Walt Disney, and Sammy Davis Jr. Even Scully was in awe of the list. “I don’t take it as any personal, great accomplishment,” he said. “I only take it for what it is, the fact that I’ve been doing this for so long here and the Dodgers are doing well. It’s not me.” Over his lifetime Scully has was elected as the top sportscaster of the 20th Century by more than 500 national members of the American Sportscasters Association. He topped such broadcasting icons as Howard Cosell, Mel Allen and others in balloting by the ASA. In April of 2001, the press box at Dodger Stadium was named in Scully’s honor. In addition to his Dodger broadcasts, the multi-talented broadcaster called play-by-play for National Football League games and PGA Tour events on CBS-TV from 1975-82 and play-by-play for Major League Baseball’s Game of the Week, three World Series and four All-Star Games on NBC-TV from 1983-89. Scully also called play-by-play for the World Series on CBS Radio from 1990-97. In all, he has called 25 World Series and 12 All-Star Games. This not the first affiliation with the Tournament of Roses for Scully. In 1969 he co-anchored the Parade for ABC with TV’s “Bewitched” star Elizabeth Montgomery . Another time he was part of a Dodger float that rolled down Colorado Blvd. So being Grand Marshal is icing on the cake. “Next will come parking cars”, said Scully.
