CONTENTS 14 YOUR SUITE IS READY, MR. CHURCHILL Although Egypt has recently descended into chaos and a mob-rule mentality, for much of the 20th century Cairo was an exotic and grand metropolis for internationalists, adventurers and the anointed to play in—and Shepheard’s Hotel was the place to stay. Its residents ranged from kings and princes to spies, movie moguls, prime ministers and cabaret stars, and for a while, Shepheard’s was the most celebrated hotel in the world. TREATS! looks back at the halcyon days when if you weren’t staying at Shepheard’s—and imbibing in its infamous Long Bar—then you were nobody. BY ROBERT MICHAEL 24 ROBIN THICKE He’s #1 in 102 countries. His daring and controversial video for “Blurred Lines” has set the Internet on fire—from Lithuania to New Zealand—generating millions and millions of views. He’s breaking records set by The Beatles (his favorite band). And he wants to thank TREATS!. We spend a day with Robin Thicke and find a man humbly strapped to the rocket ride of his life—and in the mood to talk about TREATS!’ role in inspiring the notorious “Blurred Lines” video. BY ROB HILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEVE SHAW 60 100 YEARS OF COOL A century ago, two friends in England, Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, thought they could build a car that was faster and sexier than anything out there—and Aston Martin was born. Surviving multiple near bankruptcies, two world wars, numerous ownership changes, and oil embargoes, today Aston Martin is not only one of the coolest brands in the world, it is synonymous with Britain’s most famous export: James Bond. TREATS! charts Aston Martin’s winding course. BY ROB HILL 108 MICK ROCK For over 40 years, no other rock n’ roll photographer has captured more iconic images than Mick Rock. From Syd Barrett and David Bowie to Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, Rock has often been called “the man who shot the ‘70s.” TREATS! drops by his Manhattan studio and finds a man obsessed with chronicling Kabuki theater, publishing new books and creating groundbreaking collages. 42 AUDRA, AYLA, HEIDI, LINDSEY & MARIE-CHARLOTTE “Have you ever been on a soccer field/Well, if you haven’t it’s the most amazing thing/It’s like being in heaven but on grass.” PHOTOGRAPHY BY BEN WATTS 70 SAMARA & ALEX Strange, otherworldly, and beautiful: Welcome to the fantastical world of The LaRoache brothers.
