Our editors begged and pleaded for more space for breaking retail and art news. Never say I'm not a gentleman. Publisher's letter back with you next month!

On December 15, he and his Rolling Stones played their final show in Newark, New Jersey. This is meant to be their last show ever, but rumor has it they may extend their "50 and Counting" tour into 2013. Stay tuned. We'll be on the front row. Let us take you back to how it all began … On July 12, 1962, these genii played their first live gig, in London at The Marquee Club. It was a smoky, intimate, underground bar where up-and-coming bands such as Pink Floyd, The Who and Led Zeppelin performed for decades. Flash forward: The Stones have been pretty busy in the last six months. Since toasting their 50th, they've played a surprise show in Paris, released a documentary (Crossfire Hurricane directed by Brett Morgan) and debuted a new single, "Doom and Gloom." Joshua Siegel, associate curator at the Museum of Modern Art, Department of Film, also culled through the museum's archives to mount "The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film," which screened at MoMA late last year. There's even a Rolling Stones app, where you can watch performances, read up on the latest Stones news and listen to their music. Their Web site offers the ultimate fix, including shopping — from collectible lithos to rock-royalty tees emblazoned with Mick's visage (rollingstones.com). And, for our cover, who better to document Sir Mick than musician and lensman Bryan Adams, whose portraits of the famous and infamous — including head-turners Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan and Lana Del Ray — have appeared on pages and covers from Tatler to Esquire and are showcased (and for sale) this month at The Goss-Michael Foundation in the "Exposed" exhibition, based on Adams' volume of the same name (through February 8). His portrait of Sir Mick rocks our January cover, continuing a tradition of artists collaborating with PaperCity, from The Art Guys to William Wegman. We can only say, "Rock on!"

Anspon Long on Style, Short on Time Patrik Ervell for TenOverSix The Joule was named for a tiny unit of energy, but the boutique hotel may soon need a more powerful moniker — perhaps The Gigajoule? The venue's $78 million expansion, debuting this spring, adds 32 rooms and suites plus two ballrooms. But what has our antennae tingling are the luxury emporiums setting up shop: superchic West Coast fashion imports TenOverSix and Traffic Los Angeles; a reading room and boutique stacked with Taschen books; and a subterranean ESPA, the first Texas outpost of the European premium spa operator. There's more to come this summer, when we'll be salivating over Tristan Simon's CBD Provisions brasserie, which plans to cook up locally sourced artisanal comfort food, and Mirth & Refuge, a swish bar masterminded by NYC mixologists Christy Pope and Chad Solomon. It's all the brainchild of Tim Headington, the low-key oil baron and film producer (Hugo, Rango, The Rum Diary, The Aviator, et al) who has emerged as the patron billionaire of downtown. Headington developed the Joule and has big plans to transform other nearby real estate holdings. "Downtown Dallas has a rich history that spans numerous dimensions, both cultural and economic," he notes. "The present environment provides the perfect opportunity for our city to author and update its own narrative." TenOverSix co-owner Kristen Lee Cole says Dallas was a pleasant surprise. "Women wear very high heels and a lot of jewelry and are really sophisticated — we had no idea," she marvels. "It's not like the TV show." thejouledallas.com. Holly Haber Rolling Stones in Green Park, London, January 11, 1967 The 1,600-squarefeet vacated by Bang & Olufsen at Highland Park Village has provided the perfect crash pad for Rag & Bone's pop-up shop — a temporary haven for the brand's understated edge. Brit designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, who have two CFDA awards under their belts, expanded the Rag & Bone label from a denim collection in 2002 to a men's, women's and accessories tour de force, complete with celebrity following. For the next six months, Dallas femmes can stock up on skinny jeans, buttery leather jackets and the loved-by-bloggerseverywhere Pilot handbag. Guys, alas, will need to content themselves with shopping online at the Mac stationed in store. 40 Highland Park Village, 214.443.7800; rag-bone.com. Amy Adams JANUARY | PAGE 4 | 2013 Wu-Hoo! Jason Wu debuts Miss Wu, a younger collection of '60s-mod-inspired fashion fit for any modern-day Jackie O or Mary Quant, exclusively at Nordstrom Monday, January 7. Think short sheath dresses, pencil pants, striped knits and even a matching skirt-suit, but modernized in Wu's signature whimsical handpainted stripes, lace, feathers and a photonegative floral, in bold colors such as red, black and blue. What else to Wu you? Why, a supple leather moto jacket and a Miss Wu bow-backed trench. $195 to $795, at Nordstrom. Megan Pruitt Winder RANKIN by Nadia Comaneci's perfect 10 on the uneven parallel bars, To Kill a Mockingbird, time spent with my late father, the lace mask Audrey Hepburn wore in How to Steal a Million, the home of Charley (played by Julianne Moore) in Tom Ford's A Single Man, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and various Notorious B.I.G. lyrics. Perhaps the best aspect of inspiration is that it can strike you anyplace, anywhere — a constant reminder that approaching life with eyes (and ears) wide open ensures you'll never get bored. Or be boring. JANUARY 2013 | STYLE | FASHION | SOCIAL 9 We're assembling the city's must-attend fêtes and fundraisers for PaperCity's Spring Social Calendar.

It's irrelevant whether I agree with it or not … I just adore being around anyone who has taken the time to become knowledgeable on a given subject, be it contemporary photography, '80s hip-hop, Pedro Almodovar's films, South African wine or the best way to avoid getting struck by lightning. In this particular issue, I had the opportunity to ask some people whose opinions I really admire what they found inspirational. Granted, all of the individuals I queried were associated with interior design in some way, but the variety of responses — everything from a Henry Moore sculpture to a field of wheat — made me consider my own. Over the course of my life, I've been greatly affected
