From Me to You
How I Finally Wised Up About the Sun It took years—and a scary diagnosis. Please, Glamour readers, be smarter than me!

lip to page 160 and take a look at that chart. Glamour has now published images of suspicious moles like those for eight years running, and over that time, 87 women have contacted us to say that the piece helped them spot their own potentially deadly cancers. (“If I hadn’t read that Glamour,” wrote one of them, “I might not be alive.”) And every year I’ve edited and signed off on the chart, proud of its impact and slightly chagrined at my own sun history, full of baby oil and lake summers and blissful ignorance of UV rays. A child of the eighties, I loved to lay out and figured my olive complexion made it safe; during one particularly low moment, I actually had a spring-break tanning competition with a Kenyan-born friend. (He won, but barely.) Then last year, shortly after our story shipped off to the printer, I found myself puzzling over a weird mole on a hard-toreach part of my back. I had my husband snap an image on his phone; it looked a lot like the mole on the bottom far left of that

chart. My dermatologist, Ellen Gendler, M.D., biopsied it and then, on a sunny May Wednesday, called to tell me it was, yes, cancer. “We need to get this off ASAP,” she said. I’ll cut to the chase: I’m fine. It was a basal cell carcinoma, a type of cancer not inclined to kill you (though it will, if left untreated, disfigure you badly). But in the moments before I found that out, I’ll admit I had some pretty melodramatic thoughts about my two children and the awful, unconscionable possibility that they could be left motherless because I had wanted to look prettier. I’d lost my own mother young to a rare cancer that strikes unpredictably— but this? There’s no mystery. “Basal cells are the result of excessive sun exposure in most cases,” Dr. Gendler confirmed to me. “And many women think that even if burning is bad, getting a tan is OK—but it’s not! Tanning is the skin’s way of putting its hands up and saying, ‘Help!! Stop!!’ ” So let’s do just that. Please, look at the chart (page 160, remember), slather on the sunscreen, and don’t go anywhere near a tanning bed. You have a beautiful, full life, and I want you—I want all of us—to live till we’re ancient and wrinkled and surrounded by great-grandchildren. Take it from me— grateful number 88 and counting.

What We’ve learned since We Were this biG
the Glamour staffers who worked on this story on why we’ve changed our ways I’ve had two funky moles removed. I still hit the beach, but under an umbrella, always. —executive editor Wendy Naugle, here out in the sun at age three
I’ve seen the effect of squamous cell carcinoma on a family member—now I get skin checks. —health editor Danielle Kosecki, here at age eight
We didn’t even own sunscreen back then. After my diagnosis, I now know: Even the not-blond among us are at risk. —me, editor- in-chief Cindi Leive, here at age five
I saw a dermatologist for the first time at 30—and had melanoma. Wish I could smack some sense into my younger self! — contributing editor Shaun Dreisbach, here at age eight
may 11 is mother’s Day—so for this month’s act of generosity, consider helping moms around the world. every day 800 women worldwide die from pregnancy and childbirth complications; the Global moms Challenge (a u.n. foundation initiative) is out to change that, and you can help. through may 11, every time you share a story from globalmomschallenge.org/ globalmomsrelay, Johnson & Johnson will donate $1 to keep moms and kids healthy. And any time of the year, your donation of just $10 will deliver lifesaving vaccines to expectant mothers through other u.n. foundation initiatives—learn more at globalmomschallenge.org.

Nope, not twins: It’s Kim Basinger, left, as a Bond girl in 1983, and her kid, Ireland Baldwin, 18, whose modeling shot looks like it came from the same roll of film. We want those genes!

Long before she was icy Claire Underwood on House of Cards, Robin Wright, left, in 1984, was a gorgeous ingenue with the same killer cheekbones her daughter, model Dylan Penn, 23, boasts now.
Need for Speed’s Dakota Johnson, 24, right, is the lucky owner of a set of beautiful blue eyes, thanks to mama Melanie Griffith, left, who was a Hollywood up-and-comer in the photo from 1975.

Big D nÕt: No OneÕs Making Rom Coms
A
s a young girl I fell in love with romantic comedies. Just a few feet from my bedroom, my parents [Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer, screenwriting partners behind hits like Baby Boom and Father of the Bride] were actually writing these films, and we constantly gathered to watch movies like The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby. As an adult I was inspired to try my hand at the genre, but what I found is that the genre itself is fading out. Fact: Back in the summer of 2002, 13 romantic comedies hit theaters (and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, a spring release, became one of the top-grossing rom coms of all time). This summer? We’ve got only five. Clearly, the business is changing. Any film that doesn’t have franchise potential (by way of being based on a young-adult novel, a video game, or a comic book) hardly stands a chance at being green-lit by a major studio. Who needs 2-D when you can enjoy the nausea of 3-D, right? In this survival-of-the-fittest model, movies about human connection are going extinct while action movies flourish. “Markets are opening up in places like China,” Judd Apatow, the director of Knocked Up and producer of Bridesmaids, tells me. “Studios think [action] is a universal common denominator, so smaller, more delicate movies become less important when they think a film won’t be giant in Moscow.” Have audiences turned on rom coms too? Well, sort of. We accept men’s fantasies no matter how farfetched, yet we tend to criticize women’s fantasies. Take the opening of Skyfall: 007 powers through Istanbul in a car chase, which leads to a motorcycle chase, a quick cuff link fix, and a shootout atop a train. But if a man runs after a woman to tell her that he adores a long list of her quirky traits, someone will say, “That’d never happen.” Not quite fair, is it? Because despite what skeptics say, rom coms can be good for people’s love lives. A University of Rochester study shows that watching romantic films that focus on couples’ daily lives and discussing them with
66
gla mour.com
your partner strengthens your relationship. “When you watch a movie like The Break-Up, you see couples make mistakes, which opens the line of communication on issues in your relationship,” says lead study author Ronald D. Rogge. In his research a healthy diet of film-driven conversations worked like therapy in preventing divorce. Even with science on our side, great filmmakers are on a forced hiatus from the genre; aspiring filmmakers steer totally clear of it; and actors refuse to take those roles. A few years of mediocre rom coms have made us lose sight of the fact that the genre ruled for decades, producing acclaimed films from It Happened One Night in 1934 to Silver Linings Playbook 78 years later. But here we are, rewatching When Harry Met Sally…, wondering whether men and women can be friends, instead of raising new questions and making that film’s modern-day equivalent. As a woman, a writer, and a moviegoer, I’m perplexed. Aren’t rom coms the films we watch and quote most? When was the last time you felt down and all you wanted to do was put on Thor? Mindy Kaling told me: “Romantic comedies have this rare thing where you leave and think, I wish I were that girl.” Even Apatow, the king of bromance, agrees: “When a romantic comedy touches people’s hearts, there’s nothing better.” They make us emotional because we’ve been there. So how do we get rom coms back? We have to work together. Screenwriters: Let’s all hit refresh on the love story. I hope actors will realize how lovable and relatable they’d be as romantic-comedy leads. And I’m crossing my fingers that studios will once again take a risk on a genre that, when done right, wins audience’s hearts. Mummies, vampires, and superheroes are exciting, but we need people. Let’s have 2014 be the year of romance lost and found. After all, Hollywood loves a comeback. Los Angeles screenwriter Hallie MeyersShyer is holding out hope—and writing an untitled project for Universal Pictures.
July marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of When Harry Met SallyÉ.

At near left, Bella Thorne’s f loral crown works because that mesh top is sporty and casual, explains Hudson. Prefer a basic tee like her friend’s? “Funk it up with a hat,” he says. “The bigger, the better.”
“Rompers are an easy way to look pulled together,” Hudson says. “My main rule is you’ve got to cinch the waist.” He suggests wearing a cardigan too, as Emma Watson did here, so you’ve got an extra layer for when the sun goes down.

My Dos & Don’ts, by Jenny McCarthy
Life lessons for your 20s, 30s, and 40s, from the ageless, filterless cohost of The View and author of the new book Stirring the Pot.
At 34: with then beau Jim Carrey
As told to Caitlin Brody
T
w e nt y y e a r s a g o Je n n y McCarthy first introduced herself to the world as a ballbusting bleach-blond Playboy model and MTV dating-show host. Today you’ll find the 41-year-old single mother and author of 10 books, including this month’s Stirring the Pot: My Recipe for Getting What You Want Out of Life, in trendy thick-framed glasses and smart shift dresses talking hot topics on The View. Here, McCarthy serves up some of the hard-won wisdom she’s picked up (so far). OK, Jenny, dish.
In Your TwenTIes…
Do seT hIgh sTanDarDs In Your DaTIng lIfe “I was a serial monogamist throughout my twenties. Actually, until I was 37. It wasn’t until I ended a five-year relationship [with actor Jim Carrey] that I decided it was time to do some ‘light dating’—no getting serious, no falling in love right away. That’s when I learned to see the whole picture. I used to make excuses for guys. I’d bleach red flags white. I even once convinced myself that when a guy wanted to see me only once a week, it was romantic. In reality he was probably seeing six other women! I’ve realized if someone’s not right for you, it’s best to move on. I can only imagine how much more wonderful the ride would’ve been had I always thought that way.”
Don’T bash Your boDY—IT’s Damn sexY “Even as a Playboy model, I had plenty of body insecurities. I was curvier than most Playmates. I thought I was fat. I cried after photo shoots. When I look back now,

At 41: happier than ever on The View, and with boyfriend Donnie Wahlberg, right
I don’t know why I was so worried. Today I love my body. I jog and do yoga—even though I hate it—because it makes me feel great. I even shot Playboy again before I turned 40. This time around, while standing naked—stretch marks, C-section scar, and all—in front of a crew, I realized how far I’d come. The other day I woke up next to my boyfriend [Donnie Wahlberg] with my eye swollen shut. When I was younger, I would’ve freaked and put on makeup and sunglasses before he woke up; now it’s like, Love me and my swollen eye, or leave me.”
In Your ThIrTIes…
Do enD relaTIonshIps ThaT aren’T workIng “I got married [to actor-director John Asher] when I was 26—and was getting divorced by 32. My parents instilled in me the belief that you should ‘try, try, try.’ But I probably tried for three years too many. I woke up unhappy every day! No matter how much therapy we did, our relationship wasn’t working. I decided I could either stay that way, or I could do some thing to love myself: End the relationship. When I did, I felt so free.”
Don’T Ignore Your crITIcs—learn from ’em “In my thirties I did an interview with Howard Stern where he asked me if my ex [Carrey] still talked to my son, Evan. I said they hadn’t spoken, and the media went wild: ‘Jim Carrey abandons Jenny McCarthy’s son!’ People attacked me for expecting too much. I was upset that nobody took my
side. When I took a step back, I realized it wasn’t fair for me to speak on Jim’s behalf when he couldn’t defend himself. A friend once told me that if you accept the one percent of truth in criticism, you’ll grow a ton. So true. BTW, Jim and I, and Jim and Evan, are all friends again.”
In Your forTIes…
Do enjoY The besT sex of Your lIfe “I don’t know what’s going on with my hormones, but at 41 I’m hornier than ever! In my twenties sex felt like a chore. That’s when you fake orgasms to get guys to think you’re awesome. Now that I’m in my forties, sex is my favorite pastime. I try different positions. With the lights on! Lesson learned: Sex is much more fun when you’re trying to please yourself, not just him.”
Don’T acT lIke 40 Is olD. IT’s noT! “I feel I’m at my true essence in my forties. Instead of letting bullets bring me down, I’m like Neo in The Matrix, dodging and watching them fire past. I’m more courageous… but I still live it up. My friends and I still go to clubs in our skinny jeans and sexy tops. We don’t give a sh-t if we seem like the McCarthy’s riot of a old chicks at the book is out bar. We’re there May 6. for the music— and each other.”

My Grandmother, the Style Icon To her fans, Elizabeth Taylor was “The Most Beautiful Woman in the World.” But to Naomi deLuce Wilding, she was just Granny. Get a glimpse of their one-of-a-kind relationship here. As told to Emily Mahaney Photograph by Jeff Lipsky
I don’t think I associated the Elizabeth Taylor I knew with the movie star. She was just my grandmother—well, my granny. We were very close, and she had a strong influence on my life. She convinced me to move to Los Angeles. She introduced me to Ingrid Sischy, who suggested I try fashion styling. She hosted my wedding reception, and I was even a bridesmaid in her wedding to Larry Fortensky. More than anything, my grandmother gave me confidence. She made me feel like I could do anything. I grew up in the countryside of Wales with my mother, Johanna. (My father, Michael, moved to America when I was five.) We lived a practical existence, but twice a year my sister, Laela, and I would go to L.A. to stay at my grandmother’s house, which was like a fairy tale. I spent hours in

her closet. She had all the designers—Valentino, Versace—and things she’d picked up in the market in Mexico too. We’d sit on her bed. She’d open her jewelry closet, bring out drawer after drawer, and tell us stories of her life through each piece—like her “PingPong diamond rings,” which she won in a game of Ping-Pong with Richard Burton. We lapped it up. She always said she was a custodian of her jewelry: It didn’t belong to her; she was just a part of its journey. If you were a woman in Elizabeth Taylor’s life, she’d likely dress you up. She knew she was lucky to have the things she had, and a big part of how she enjoyed them was by sharing them.

er’s house in Switzerland, she had a bomb shelter that she’d turned into her wardrobe. Everybody would go down to pick out something to wear. If it looked good on you, chances are, she’d let you keep it. After trips to L.A., I’d return to England with beautiful things and no place to wear them. My mother would roll her eyes—“Oh God, what has Elizabeth given her this time?”—but I loved it. I’d dress up my friends in Yves Saint Laurent dresses, and we’d put on our rain boots and walk through the field. I can’t pinpoint exactly what inspired me to study fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London, but playing with my grandmother’s clothes and sewing with Continued on next page

hen Elizabeth Taylor died, in 2011, the world lost an Oscar-winning actress, a fashion trailblazer, and a pioneering AIDS activist. Her 10 grandchildren, including Naomi deLuce Wilding, 39, lost even more: their matriarch. Though she doesn’t advertise it, deLuce Wilding is the daughter of Michael Howard Wilding, Taylor’s son with Michael Wilding, the second of her seven husbands. The down-to-earth Brit runs the Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles with husband Anthony Cran and works as a fashion stylist with photographers like Bruce Weber. When she spoke to Glamour in a rare interview in February, she was busy planning an art auction to benefit the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. “She considered activism to be her life’s work,” says deLuce Wilding. “She inspired us to do something good with our lives.” Here, deLuce Wilding tells Glamour more of her grandmother’s philosophies on life, love, and diamonds.

That’s Taylor at her wedding to deLuce Wilding’s grand father Michael. “She believed in love,” says deLuce Wilding.

my mother inf luenced me. I moved to New York City at 24 to become a designer, but I struggled. I wasn’t happy. A few days before Christmas in 1999, my studio apartment was robbed; the jewelry my grandmother had given me, stolen. She said: “Come and stay with me.” So I moved to L.A., and I lived with her on and off for three years as I started up my styling career. Nobody knew, but I borrowed clothes from her closet for my early shoots. Living with my grandmother was like living with an auntie. Most grandmothers would say, “You can’t leave the house wearing that!” Mine would see my bra strap showing, and say, “Just take your bra off.” I am shy, and she pushed me to be daring. She’d accessorize my subtle outfits to be more eye-grabbing. She relished abundance. She didn’t always make the most tasteful choices, but she always had a great time. I’m the same way. My husband thinks I’m crazy when I go out in three types of plaid. But it’s from her that I learned that fashion is for play. While living with her in 2002, I met my husband, Anthony, through friends. They got along well; she flirted with him like crazy. She believed in the power of love and wasn’t afraid of being hurt. A lot of people hold their heart too close; she believed in giving it out. I think she went into every one of her marriages hoping it’d last, but the circumstances of her life were extreme. Even her longest marriage, to Richard [Burton]—which was successful in many ways—was full of extreme pas-

sion, which is hard to make last a lifetime. But she knew she wasn’t perfect in any relationship. Anthony and I eloped to Las Vegas in 2005, and we made a strong commitment that if times ever got hard, we wouldn’t walk away. In nine years of marriage, I’ve learned it’s important to accept each other—and take criticism in stride. My grandmother was alive when I got pregnant with my son, Declan. He was born prematurely, just as her third child, my Aunt Liza, had been. It made the two of us feel even closer. My grandmother loved her children deeply, but she wasn’t always able to be present for them during the very height of her fame. I am ambitious, and I struggle with balance as a mother too. My grandmother was so hugely successful, which makes me want to achieve more, but I also want to be home with my son. It’s hard to find a middle ground. Wouldn’t it be great to be at the top of our careers and have time for family? After Declan was born, my grandmother was not well. She passed the year he turned two. I thought it’d be difficult for me to live my life without her influence, but having a baby at the time made it easier to transition into the next phase—being a mother, not a granddaughter. I’m part of a very matriarchal family. My grandmother, my mother, and my sister and stepmother too are my biggest inspirations. One thing I hope Declan will learn from me is to respect strong women, like Granny. I’m so proud to be her granddaughter.

Your Body’s Dream Swimsuit
Who better to help find it for you than a female swimwear designer? Glamour got four of them to give you the best tips for every body type. By Lauren Bernstein
“For the curvy girl, I think a body-hugging one-piece can really flatter a figure and accentuate the waist. Also, ruching works well to camouflage—that’s my favorite technique in designing great suits.” —Designer Tori Praver

Do opt for strategic center paneling to give the illusion of a lean silhouette. Don’T do large-scale florals—big prints make you look bigger. small prints work, though! Do choose a one-piece with waist-cinching
diagonal lines that point to the middle. Don’T fear bikinis! fold-over bottoms let you control the amount of coverage. Do show off your very best assets. Broadcast what you’ve got!
“A supportive underwire top with straps helps prevent tension around the neck—racerbacks are great too.” —Designer Monica wise, L*sPace l*space by Monica wise ($191; download the Shop Glamour app or visit shop.glamour.com)

It’s Now Ofcial: Flats Are Back
I
Model Cara Delevingne walked the fall 2014 Chanel runway in sneakers…
n 2012 designer Phoebe Philo did something crazy: She sent Birkenstock-style shoes down the Céline runway. The fur-lined flats, dubbed Furkenstocks by fashion editors, became the must-have item that season. And that was just the beginning. For spring 2014 Prada showed a Teva-inspired f lat, and then the floodgates opened: Rochas, Marc Jacobs, and Givenchy also featured mega-designed heelless shoes (we’re talking in-your-face designs, not demure ballet slippers). By the time embellished sneakers trotted down the runways at the Chanel and Christian Dior couture 2014 shows, the message was clear: Fashion is into flats. Everyone, it seems, is more than happy to take a break from the treacherous heels that have ruled for years. It’s time to go in another direction, and as for options, there are plenty. From grungy “mandals” (thicksoled shoes with masculine straps) to pointy-toed metallics, there’s a flat for every outfit and aesthetic. Even the red carpet welcomes them now, and not just for tall, Nicole Kidman types. “I put Hailee Steinfeld in a ton of flats for her Ender’s Game press tour,” says her stylist, Karla Welch.
What the heck happened to heels? The reason for the change: “Heels had gotten to be as high as anyone could walk in,” says Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. After four-inchers on the Lanvin runway and million-inchers on stars like Lady Gaga (she even wore insane platforms after hip surgery), footwear had reached its gravita-

tional limit. “The only person I’ve never seen fall is [fashion icon] Daphne Guinness,” says Steele. “Things will go as far in one direction as they can and then swing back.” Historically, just as with hemlines, “what goes up must come down,” agrees Cameron Silver, author and the owner of Decades, the vintage boutique in Los Angeles. “Flats are a natural reaction. Shoes had gotten so high women required walkers.” Meanwhile, everyday women were also having a bit of a backlash against the Kardashian-ization of our culture. For years we were told the higher the heel, the lower the neckline, and the tighter the skirt,
…and we were obsessed with these broguelike shoes at Marni.
believe the trend is actually inf luencing what clothing designers opt to show. Thanks to flats, there’s an ease to fashion now: Chloé presented slouchy, draped trousers, while Givenchy had high-slit , midi-length skirts at the spring 2014 shows, and both styles were paired with flats. Phillip Lim made a similar choice. “This season I wanted the shoes to be grounded, to give the lightness in the collection some weight,” he says. “It just feels like the time for flats.” The looks struck a chord with buyers too. “It somehow looks just right—flats with midcalf and ankle-length skirts,” says Gabrielle de Papp, senior VP of brand development
“Shoes had gotten so high women required walkers.” —Cameron Silver, owner of the vintage boutique Decades in L. A. the sexier the girl. And while we’re all for body confidence, it was starting to feel a little…self-objectifying? Well, that’s over. Even Kim has gotten a little classier, dressing in lower hems and subtler colors. In this context, f lats (and sneakers) are a way of saying, “I’m not a Real Housewife. I have a job and a life.” Plus, they show you’re confident. Notes celebrity stylist Jessica de Ruiter: “One never looks as if they’re trying too hard in flats.”

for the online retailer Farfetch. And real women say that when they have occasions that once would have called for heels, they’re now building their outfits around their flats. “This is probably the first time there is a good offering of flats that are fashiony,” says Ana Maria Pimentel, fashion director of women’s accessories for Neiman Marcus. Just look around the off ice: Women aren’t leaving their flats under their desk for the day-to-night switch anymore. Why? “Designers are serving up endless options that are just as striking as a stiletto,” says fashion blogger Marlien Rentmeester of lecatch.com. Agrees Corri McFadden, Continued on next page

Taylor Swift, true flats fan!
THE TREND IS STAyING STAYING Will this down-to-earth moment vanish by next season? Insiders say no. Retailers cite a huge uptick in sales over the past year; Melissa Akkaway, owner of Beckley Boutique in Los Angeles, says there’s been a 40 percent increase in sales of flats since last fall. Adds Sarah Easley, cofounder of the Kirna Zabête boutique in NYC, “The ‘f lat’ mood is thriving.” Easley points to the appeal of, among other styles, the Kitty f lat from Charlotte Olympia, a whimsical insta-hit (see below right). “It’s chic with a sense of humor,” says Charlotte Dellal, the shoe’s designer. “Plus, I’ve got three young boys—a flat is a necessity!” And with that Dellal has hit on the truth that may keep this whole flat thing going for ages: Women, to state the obvious, need to be able to walk. Sandra Choi, creative director for Jimmy Choo, who has two young daughters herself, sees this f lats-apalooza as “a ref lection of the dynamic roles women lead” within the career-family juggle. “Fashion is having an incredibly flexible moment in general,” says Choi. There are also more women in power who need shoes that don’t cripple them. “Mrs. Obama perpetuates the trend by almost always wearing stylish flats,” says Gwen Covington, style editor at zappos.com. “She favors understated styles from J.Crew that work well with her outfits.” But Mrs. O is 5' 11". What if you’re…not? “Even women who swear by heels for extra height can pull off a flat,” says celeb stylist Welch. For leg-elongating effects, try a pointy toe or wear a flat in the same color as your pants or skin tone. Welch, for her part, goes to Saint Laurent for sharp oxfords. “A pointy flat does nice things for the ankle,” she says. “But you know what does really nice things? Being comfortable in your shoes.” Melissa Magsaysay is a freelance style and beauty writer living in Los Angeles.

M y sign at uRe s cen t: Even before I signed with Chanel, Coco Mademoiselle was my perfume. In fact, it was the first women’s fragrance I’d ever worn, because up until then I was strictly drawn to men’s colognes. The right fragrance becomes your second skin, and this fresh mix of jasmine, bergamot, and iris is mine.

imple beauty fact: The right hair color can help fix complexion issues better than any brand of concealer—making you look younger, sexier, healthier, and, surprisingly, even thinner. And you don’t have to completely change your shade to get skin-enhancing benefits. Color virgins, listen up: “Just accentuating your natural color will make your hair look shinier and healthier,” says Tina Dizon, head stylist and owner of The Private Room salon in
Beverly Hills—and the benefits translate to how your face looks too. But be warned, while certain hair colors can boost your skin tone, others can actually do the opposite. “If you have to pile on makeup after you dye your hair, you’ve got the wrong color,” says Kyle White, senior colorist at Oscar Blandi Salon in New York City, who has worked with Charlize Theron. How to get it right? Here’s what to try if you want to fix almost any skin issue you might have.…

White. “Keep them thicker instead.” If you have SJPtype curls, keep them fat and light at the ends; Afro curls (like Solange Knowles’) should be even broader, with the brightest pieces at the hairline.

To fake glowy skin, add golden highlighTs
Feeling a little pasty? Try getting highlights three to four shades lighter than your natural hue around your face; they’ll bring out warmness in your skin but not be so light they wash you out, advises Dizon. Blonds, lighter brunettes, and redheads can also try combing a glass of champagne throughout damp, clean hair to temporarily boost golden tones. Leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing. Also try Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Multi-lights Highlighting Kit ($8, drugstore.com). To further fend off brassiness, treat lightened hair with shade-specific products.

No joke: A few well-placed highlights and lowlights can actually visually slim your face. “If you have a round face, you want more highlights on the top of your head,” White says. “And if you have a double chin, don’t start ombré ends or other color at the jawline—that will just accentuate the fullness.” (In that case, try painting a few thin lowlights around your neck and cheeks.) And make sure to keep highlights and lowlights within two shades of your base color; otherwise they’ll look obvious.
“Even brunettes like Sofía are sun-kissed here,” says Rona O’Connor, of Lukaro Salon in Beverly Hills. To keep your highlights from fading, we like Nexxus Color Assure Vibrancy Retention Shampoo ($10, at drugstores). I n C h I C ag o t h e y w a n t

If your skin flushes easily—and you want to tone it down—consider icy highlights or lowlights in shades like sandy brown and wheat blond, which balance out redness. Place color at temples, suggests O’Connor. “Whatever is next to the face will determine what will happen to the skin tone,” she explains. “I like to frame the face with a cool tone and keep the color warmer or brighter in the back.” Color processing can take a toll on hair: Double up on your moisturizing efforts with a mending hair mask and repair serum.

“If you put yellow tones next to olive skin, you’ll look pea green,” explains colorist O’Connor. Instead she adds subtle rose-gold streaks—a trick she used on Blake Lively in her Gossip Girl days. “I call this blushing the hair—instead of the cheeks—to add rosiness to your skin.” The pink color offsets green or yellow tones.

Be warned: “Platinum and bluish black can be aging,” says White. Instead, he recommends warm, golden-hued glosses for a soft-focus “candlelight” effect, seen at left (there’s a reason Angelina Jolie’s not rocking her Goth black hair now that she’s 38!).

Olive, who smells delightfully like nothing other than new baby (and sometimes Mustela shampoo). I have two go-tos these days, both of which my New York bold-scent-wearing self would have scoffed at: One is Le Labo Ambrette 9, a perfume explicitly designed for babies. (There is a whole host of infant fragrances from France, as the French are apparently wild about dousing their children in perfume. But for adults, the smell is incredible: a little milky, unplaceably sweet, and super gentle, just like the scent of skin.) The other is Annick Goutal Petite Chérie, which was originally designed for the perfumer’s daughter, and is crisp, clean, and breezily pear-scented (strangely full circle!).

But Yoni Freed hoff, M.D., assistant pro fessor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa and author of The Diet Fix, has invented an un-diet, which involves no deprivation and slow, steady weight loss. His strategies, out lined on the next page, have worked for 81 percent of his more than 1,000 patients. “We’ve been fed this idea that weight loss needs to be rapid and dramatic,” says Dr. Freedhoff. “But in my experience, when these plans fail, women blame themselves, not the diets.” Sound familiar? If so, try his plan, a set of simple food and exercise guidelines that can help you safely lose a pound a week and keep it off— summer fun included.

Body by Glamour DON’T GO HUNGRY
It may seem counterintuitive, but a rumbling tummy is like that bad friend who always gets you in trouble. “Hunger influences how much food you need to eat to feel satis fied,” says Dr. Freedhoff. “And it tricks you into making
choices you’d never otherwise make.” Control your appetite by having three meals and two snacks a day—even if you don’t feel like eating. And do have breakfast. “When people don’t eat breakfast within 60 minutes of getting up, they tend to eat more at night,” says Dr. Freedhoff.
KEEP A JUDGMENTFREE FOOD DIARY
Studies show that people who keep food journals can lose twice as much weight as those who don’t log what they eat. So Dr. Freedhoff prescribes that habit to patients and has kept a food diary himself for three years. His one rule? Keep it positive. Useful jour nals don’t note whether you’ve been “good” or “bad,” he says; they help you spot patterns. Measure and write down what you eat in real time, but save the final calorie tally for the end of the day so you won’t obsess over the balance. (Cal culate how many calories you need a day at thedietfix.com.) And note the day’s “degree of difficulty,” or how much you struggled with hunger and cravings, on a scale of 1 to 10. If you’re hitting your calorie goal but have a difficulty of 9, what you’re eating isn’t work ing for you, he says. Adjust your food choices and see if the next day feels easier.
Watch Your Booze
“alcohol doesn’t have calorie labels, so it can be difficult to know how much you’re consuming,” says Dr. Freedhoff. One way he gets clients to slow down? he tells them to splurge for the pricey stuff. “You will drink less, but you might also find you can have some really wonderful wine that you’ll savor.” Drink the smallest amount that you need to enjoy the experience, says Dr. Freedhoff, and remember this: “Drop for drop, red wine contains more than double the calories of regular soda.”
CLEAN YOUR KITCHEN “Gyms are great, but the kitchen is the place people tend to lose weight,” says Dr. Freedhoff. “By cleaning it— literally, do those dishes!— you’ll be more likely to use it.” Once it’s tidy, get rid of the unhealthiest packaged food in your pantry, fridge, or freezer. Then commit to trying one new recipe a week. “Cooking is

an evolution,” says Dr. Freedhoff. “You can start with scrambled eggs. Before you know it, you’ll have a repertoire of healthy meals you like.”
HAVE PROTEIN EVERY TIME YOU EAT
“I’m not sure there is any thing more proven to help with hunger than protein,” says Dr. Freedhoff. Protein keeps your blood sugar even, so you don’t have “Feed me now” crashes. But just having a steak for dinner won’t cut it. “It’s not that we have a protein deficiency,” Dr. Freedhoff clarifies. “It’s about the distri bution.” Each meal should contain about 20 grams of protein (think one cup of lentils or a palmsized serv ing of lean meat).
TAKE A VACATION FROM WEIGHING YOURSELF
Breakfast, always. And within 60 minutes of getting up, says Dr. Freedhoff. Try fruit with yogurt.

“The number on the scale doesn’t measure the presence or absence of health,” says Dr. Freedhoff. Instead, ask yourself how you feel. “Success isn’t a certain amount of weight lost per week or a lifestyle you can barely tolerate,” says Dr. Freedhoff. “Success is a sustainable lifestyle that you can enjoy. If you live a life you’re happy with while losing weight, you probably won’t gain it back.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 156

The 5 Skin Cancer Mistakes We All Make
NACIVET/GETTY IMAGES
They’re dangerous—and they’re shockingly common, an exclusive Glamour survey finds. This story may change the way you protect yourself. By Shaun Dreisbach
Q
uick: What’s your personal risk of getting skin cancer? If you said low to average, you’re not alone: 72 percent of women in a Glamour survey did too, even though 46 percent have used a tanning bed or had a history of sunburns—factors that actually make a woman’s odds of getting the disease much, much higher. “If you don’t think you’re at risk, you’re not going to be as careful as you should be,” says Elizabeth K. Hale, M.D., a clinical associate profes-

sor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine. And here’s the unsettling truth: Rates of melanoma have risen 800 percent over the past four decades, making it the most common cancer among women ages 25 to 29 today—and rates of squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas (once considered “old lady” cancers) have shot up 700 and 100 percent, respectively, among women under 40. So what are our misconceptions about skin cancer, and how can we all do better, starting now? Turn the page to find out.

YOU THINK: NO FAMILY HISTORY? I’M GOOD!
Sixty-one percent of women said they’re not worried about skin cancer because no one in their family has ever had it. The truth is that while genetics do affect your risk, your own personal history—number of past sunburns, having 50 or more moles—also matters. “Only 35 percent of your melanoma risk is tied to genetics,” says Dr. Hale. “With nonmelanoma skin cancers, it’s more like 10 percent.” What you should do: Remember: A funky spot is a funky spot, regardless of your genes. “When I noticed a weird-looking mole on my shin, I put off seeing a dermatologist for more than six months because I have no family history,” says Brittany Arthur, 30, of Delaware, Ohio. “When I finally went in, I was shocked that I had stage III melanoma. I’m OK now, but it just goes to show that no one is immune.” (And if your parents or siblings have had skin cancer, let your derm know so she can be especially watchful!)

YOU DON’T THINK YOU’VE GOTTEN THAT MUCH SUN
According to our survey, 43 percent of women suffered a sunburn in the past year—and 72 percent have had more than five in their lifetime, a factor that doubles your risk of melanoma. And yet despite this, 47 percent of women surveyed say they “haven’t had a lot of sun exposure.” Worse still, 46 percent said they’ve used a tanning bed. Hey, we don’t judge you for past transgressions (you were young!), but hear this: Just one indoor tanning session before age 35 ups your odds of melanoma by 75 percent. Just one. In fact, there are now more cancer cases from indoor tanning than there are lung cancer cases due to smoking, according to recent research. What you should do: Ask yourself, Have you had more than five sunburns? Have you ever been to a tanning salon? Do you usually skip sunscreen? Do you have tan lines? “A yes to any of these means you’re at an increased risk,” says Melanie Palm, M.D., a San Diego dermatologist and spokesperson for The Skin Cancer Foundation. Be extra diligent about using sunscreen every day (see our picks on the next page), get yearly skin checks, and stay out of tanning beds. Each year in the U.S., nearly 420,000 new cases of skin cancer can be attributed to indoor tanning.

Can You Spot Skin Cancer? Being able to tell what’s normal—and what’s not—could save your life. and we’re not being melodramatic: This test has helped at least 87 Glamour readers (and a few Glamour editors—see page 42) diagnose their own cancers. rip out this page (or share it by going to glamour.com/skincheck). it may be the most important self-test you ever take.
Normal mole
Dysplastic nevus
Actinic keratosis
Generally round, this small spot or growth is all one shade (pink, tan, or brown). It can be flat or elevated but shouldn’t change in shape or color.
Often called an “atypical” mole because it has irregular borders or coloring that means it could become cancerous. Your derm may biopsy it and consider removing it.
A flat, rough, or scaly spot (often pink or reddish) usually found on chronically sun-exposed areas, like the face, scalp, lips, and backs of hands. It isn’t skin cancer but could turn into it.
Basal cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Watch for a shiny, pink irregularly shaped bump or an open sore that won’t heal. This is the most common type of skin cancer and can be fast-growing.
This is the second most common skin cancer. It looks like a reddish wart or sore that may crust or bleed. It can be disfiguring or even deadly, so have your derm look at it ASAP.
Melanoma Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, but it’s highly treatable if caught early. It’s usually asymmetrical, very dark, or multishaded, and it doesn’t look like other moles on your body.
Know Your ABCDE’s—and U’s! if you have a mole with any of these characteristics, see a dermatologist—asaP.
A=ASYMMETRY
D=DIAMETER
B=BORDER
E=EVOLVING

Insight Forty-three percent of women said they got a sunburn in the last year. SPF, ladies!
Your Top Sunscreen Complaints, Solved Forty-seven percent of the women we surveyed said they hate how SPF feels on their skin. The fix: La Roche-Posay Anthelios 30 Cooling Water-Lotion Sunscreen ($36, at drugstores). Its waterlike texture is light and absorbs quickly.
YOU STILL THINK A TAN LOOKS HEALTHY
More than half of the women we surveyed try—on purpose—to maintain a tan in the summer. Why? You think it makes you look healthier and prettier and feel more confident. “It’s true that being outside is good for you: active lifestyle, vitamin D,” says Deborah Cummins, M.D., director of dermatologic surgery at Boston University Medical Center. “But we exaggerate the benefits to justify getting sun.” What you should do: First of all, know there is nothing healthy about a tan. “It’s your body producing pigment to protect your DNA,” says Dr. Palm. And the damage is permanent. “I was diagnosed with melanoma at 18, and it changed my sun habits,” says Chelsea Sutton, 26, of Oklahoma City. “I used to think, Oh, my legs would look so much thinner if I had some color. Now when I see someone with a tan, I don’t see the beauty of it.” For a safe bronze glow, use a self-tanner; we like Suave Professionals Visible Glow ($8.50, at drugstores).

YOU THINK YOU CAN PUT ON SPF AND FORGET IT
Eighty-one percent of you wear high SPF at the pool or beach—and props for that. But you’re either missing spots or
not putting enough on to begin with, because 43 percent of you say that you got a sunburn in the past year. What you should do: While naked, slather on at least a shot glass’s worth of SPF 30—or an even sheen of spray—at least 20 minutes before you go outside so it has time to soak in. Reapply every two hours if you’ll be outside, more often if you’re swimming or sweating. Spending the majority of the day indoors? Cover any exposed areas with sunscreen. If you need incentive to step up your SPF game, consider this: More than 90 percent of skin aging is caused by the sun.

An astonishing 76 percent of you don’t get annual skin exams. “I never got checked by a derm until I was 26,” says Kit Wallace, 33, from Los Angeles, “and a stranger noticed a mole on my back and said, ‘You should get that checked.’ It turned out to be melanoma. That stranger saved my life. Now I have a skin exam at least twice a year. That’s helped me catch nine more cancers early.” What you should do: Once a year, have a full-body skin check by a dermatologist. Make sure she checks your scalp, eyes, and mouth. “If the patient is comfortable with it, I also check the crack of their backside and genitals,” says Bruce Robinson,

My Body, My Sex Life
When it’s time to get naked, guys do the most wonderful thing: They don’t care how they look. Here’s how we can learn a little from that attitude… starting with a hilariously un-P.C. story by comedy writer Jill Franklyn. Photograph by Tom Schirmacher

He Was Fat. and the Sexiest Man i’d Ever Seen. By Jill Franklyn
I’ve never been overweight. To look at me, you would think, Normal. That said, I’d rather you’d think, Hot. For years I wanted my legs to have that “space” all the skinny girls have and my arms to be more Kelly Ripa–ripped. I would have killed to refer to my belly as
“abs” the way Jessica Alba does. (Even after her babies. Bitch.) And then I met Mark.* Mark—let’s just go with that name—was a music manager, and I was interviewing for a job as his personal assistant. When I walked into his office, he was seated behind his big desk and on the phone. I pretended I was focused on the awards on the wall behind him, but really, I was doing that summation thing men do to us that we hate: Face (really cute). Hair (plenty). Hands (yum). Good shirt and no man jewelry.
*Some names have been changed.
“I don’t know If I lIke your boobs or your butt better” And other life-changing things real women have heard from men. Thanks, dudes!
“My husband always says ‘T.A.’ when I bend over, which stands for ‘That Ass.’ Even on my worst days, he makes sure I know he loves how I look.”
“I wanted the lights off because I have small breasts, but he said, ‘You are so sexy naked. I want you to show yourself off around me: Never hide.’ ”
“After my hysterectomy my husband told me, ‘I’m just so turned on by the fact that you were so brave, and that makes you hotter than ever.’ ”

asked if I was thirsty. I said yes, and he got up to get us a couple of coconut waters. That’s when I saw the “cuddle meat.” Not that Mark was obese—he wasn’t even as fat as that guy from Weight Watchers who Miranda slept with on Sex and the City. But when he stood, I could see the girth of his belly was way beyond a man-Spanx fix. I caught that view for only about 30 seconds, and then Mark was sitting again, looking like the guy I had just been salivat-

on his face. That is, until he got up to change the music, and I caught a view I hadn’t seen before: Mark had a massive ass. I knew he had the belly, but the turnaround effect? I had never seen a butt that big on a man. I was imagining him lying facedown, with that butt upright as a coffee table and me resting my drink on it, when he suddenly kissed me. And it was perfect. I didn’t even have to move his hand up to my face, which is a thing I really like, because he beat me to it.

ing over. He was funny. And funny trumps everything for me. So we kept talking, and I went back to telling myself, Don’t look like you love him already and are wondering whether he wants two or three children, and can their names all start with J’s? It turned out I wasn’t right for the job. But Mark did ask me to dinner.
Mark was older than anyone I’d ever been attracted to, and that made him even more attractive because I like new things. Mark hung up the phone and began the interview. He was one of those guys who look you in the eye in an almost hypnotic way when they talk to you. We discussed my résumé and the assistant job as I imagined him jumping over his desk like an Olympic hurdler, taking my breath away with a kiss I could feel all the way to my tonsils if I still had them. I only snapped out of it when he
naked, wIth folds
At the restaurant we never had one silent, awkward pause. Really, Mark was the perfect old-school gentleman, yet he had this warped sense of humor—and I wanted him. After dinner I ended up back at his place. Mark had a very grown-up house, and by that I mean the first thing I saw when I walked in were coffee-table books and fireplace tools, not free weights and computer games. We sat on the floor, me trying to look comfortable on a retro leather pillow, our intense eye-to-eye contact keeping my focus
And then this happened: Mark stripped. He stood up in front of me, taking off his clothes as if he were on a game show trying to get naked in less than 30 seconds so he could win a juicer. I just looked at him in all his glory—a Buddha-fat cuddle bear, arms open to the wind. “Ta-da!” he declared. “This is me.” I sat there frozen; it was like I had on one of those X-ray bibs that weigh down your body and keep you from moving. I didn’t know what to say, what to think, or what to do. I was not repelled, nor was I in tingle mode. I just saw something I had never seen before: folds. I had also never seen someone with so much self-confidence. I was astounded at the sight of him and overwhelmed with admiration. He wasn’t gross. He was different. He was real. And I saw he accepted himself. It was the complete opposite of everything I had ever known, starting the day I stood at the edge of the ocean when I was Continued on next page

Sex & Love eight and my father—a man I idolize—said to me, “Suck in your tummy; men like flat stomachs.” Since then I’ve always assumed that for a woman who wanted to keep her man, thin was the Holy Grail. But here was Mark. Could I be as bold as he was—just strip and not even think about my cellulite? No. I could not. But Mark could, and Mark did, and I think I fell in love with him right then because he was so free. He slowly undressed me, and I felt more beautiful than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. He made love, we made love; he was gentle, and then he was passionate, and I didn’t do what I typically do during sex, which is to think about what I need at Trader Joe’s. Later, in basking-glow mode, Mark was stroking my hair, and he had that look on his face like he was about to reach into his emotional place. I could just feel that the word love was about to be spoken. But instead he said, “You know, if you lost about five pounds, you would be so perfect.” I know—I bet you didn’t think that’s where this story was going.
The “PerfecT” enDing
At first I was too shocked to speak. I wanted to slap him—what a f--ked-up thing to say! But I realized that this was a man who lived truly in his moments, and so even though, yes, I gave him hell for what he’d said and, yes, he apologized profusely—still, yes, I moved in with him and, yes, we had one year of “We moved in how fast?” fun. Ours became a normal relationship until we broke up, which we did, in part, because I was still annoyed at the ideal of perfection he’d held me to that night in bed. Most men, I realized, are overjoyed if you just agree to take your clothes off in the first place. If Mark wasn’t one of them, that was his problem. But if I’m honest, I’m still inspired by Mark’s total and unapologetic acceptance of his own body, if not mine (and that is where this story is going). He wasn’t

Seth Rogen has zero problem exposing, well, all of himself (here in Knocked Up).
Do guys have no shame? Nope, and there’s a lesson for all of us in that. We guys can be happily clueless about our bodies. Visit any pool and you will invariably see at least one man who should not be wearing that Speedo. Of course, men don’t deal with the same pressure women do to look perfect, but here’s what possesses us, in case it’s useful: We’re really good at self-delusion. When we look in the mirror and see man boobs, rather than think, God, what happened? we think, What a great wrestler I was in tenth grade! To us, our bodies are symbols of a past
athletic glory; it’s like gazing at an old trophy in the garage and not noticing the dust. Men don’t diet. That word stresses us out. Why force ourselves into a mental prison where gluten is the new al Qaeda and a Pop-Tart sends us into a vortex of self-loathing? We prefer to relate to food as if we are cars, calling it “fuel.” If we overfill the tank, we just eat skinless chicken for a week. And anyway, size equals power. In our minds, we aren’t getting fatter. We’re occupying more space,
striving to be perfect—and none of us should be either. What he showed me, without knowing it, is that if I think I’m beautiful, someone else will too.

selves. Yes, I often hesitate to commit, but I also hesitate to break up.

as long as it means we don’t have to witness you getting all upset. But the Egg Lady, confident and direct to the end, didn’t let me get away with riding off into the sunset—in my ratty band van—with a big question mark hanging over our relationship’s head. I appreciated her honesty (honestly!) and responded in kind: I told her I wasn’t feeling it. She agreed, and just like that, it was over. And you know what? It felt good, if a breakup can feel good. I liked that we were up-front and unambiguous about things. While the fadeaway might be appealing, I realized, it actually isn’t the easy way

n every relationship there is a moment when you must decide whether it’s serious or not. The Egg Lady—the cool, confident woman I’ve been with who told me on our first date about freezing her eggs—and I hit that “Is it serious?” moment about four months in. I’d made plans to go on tour with my band for five weeks without consulting her. Unsurprisingly, when I did let her in on the news, she wondered how I was feeling about “us.” I probably would have evaded the issue for weeks, but she wasn’t going to let me, and I immediately felt like a bit of a heel. The truth was, I wasn’t feeling great about “us.” I was pretty certain we lacked the passion and chemistry for the long haul, but I didn’t have the balls to just come out and tell her. Men may like to show off their bravery in the face of adversities like a spider in your bathtub, but when it comes to breakups, we’re complete cowards. If a relationship isn’t working, the adult thing would be to sit down and tell the other person. Instead, as you know, we grow distant, make plans without you, hope you pick up on it, and then try to magically fade out of the picture—while leaving the door half open for a possible return. I would like to apologize on behalf of men for doing this, and try to explain our failures. Three facts behind it:
1. I think some men like to be in that not-quite-broken-up space, where we stick around even when things aren’t “going somewhere,” because we like to leave our options open. You know how they say that, when you’re looking for a new job, it’s always better to already have one? Men know that women, like employers, can smell the sad desperation of a lonely man on the hunt. Plus, while we’re looking around, we still have you, checking your phone, wondering where we are. Again, I apologize. 2. I also think many men (and many women) are chronically ambivalent when it comes to relationships. We don’t trust our-

ver hesitated, second-guessed yourself, or not spoken up in a big meeting? Women are far more likely to hold back than men, a problem journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman are labeling “the confidence gap.” In their provocative new book the confidence code, they explain what’s to blame: (1) our penchant for people pleasing. “Girls are taught to follow the rules, which doesn’t prepare us for the rough-and-tumble work world,” Kay tells Glamour. “When we get feedback, we dwell on what we did wrong.” And (2) perfectionism: “Our brains are wired to be more cautious, so we think and think, which can hinder us,” says Shipman. So how key is confidence? The duo uncovered a UC Berkeley study in which overly confident students won greater respect from peers than more competent students— meaning that swagger, to an extent, trumps ability. The authors’ advice: Stop obsessing over shortcomings. “Think less, do more,” says Shipman, “and you’ll silence that insidious voice in your head.” —elisabeth egan

Money Scenes from the “I quit” video that made Shifrin, 26, a YouTube phenomenon
The Road to “I Quit!”
Ever long to leave your job in a blaze of glory? Marina Shifrin actually did it, scoring 17 million YouTube views—but only after years of smart money moves. Steal her secrets, then chase your goal!
L
ast year I was just another wannabe s t a nd- up c om ic t el l i ng joke s i n empty bars after work. But on the morning of September 30, 2013, everything changed. A video I’d posted on YouTube the night before—in it, I groove in my empty office to Kanye West’s “Gone” while a message to my boss saying “I quit!” appears on the screen— had gone viral. The backlash w a s i m me d iat e; blog ger s accused me of making young people look bad. Someone even tweeted that I should “dance off a cliff.” Thanks, Internet. The story behind the video is a little more complicated. When I was hired as a writer for an animation company in 2012, I thought I’d found my dream job. But a year later creative tensions with my boss came to a head. One night I finally decided to leave and pursue my comedy career, so I made the video and showed it to fr iends, who
176
gla mour.com
encouraged me to make it public. I gave the company notice and then decided to go for it. But I didn’t worry that my out-there celebration would make me look like a spoiled brat, because I knew I wasn’t—and that I’d taken care of myself financially. See, my parents immigrated to the United States from Russia with just $200; their personalfinance philosophy is totally ingrained in me. I’ve been cutt i ng c ost s a nd scr i mpi ng forever, and by the time I quit, I’d saved almost a year’s salary. I’m not exactly living large now, but I do know a thing or two about financial independence, which allowed me to follow my bliss, careerwise. Here, the lessons that got me there:
Lesson #1: Hard work— LiteraLLy—pays When I was two my family settled in Chicago, where my parents worked multiple jobs while taking English classes at night. Three years later they
were able to buy a house, open a business, and pronounce the word knife properly. When I was 12 I told them I wanted to go to college. Their response? “Great! You’d bet ter star t saving.” So I began babysitting and waitressing, and by the end of high school, I’d saved nearly $10,000. Seven jobs and one college degree later, I had covered $50,000 of my tuition. For immigrants like my family, work gave us the financial freedom to make the decisions we wanted to make. I was able to do my victory dance only because of that attitude.
Lesson #2: don’t spend aBoVe your means
Your twenties are for living like a poor person; comfort shouldn’t be a priority. When I first moved to New York City after college, I smuggled flasks into bars in my bra to avoid pricey drinks (thanks, doubleD’s!), and I never went out to eat or bought nice clothes. I was following my parents’ lead—even after becoming successful business owners, they continued to shop at Walmart. My friends didn’t love it when I skipped birthday dinners, and I went without the Internet for a couple of months, but I never, ever had to stress about making rent. Sure, in your thirties, you’ll have things like child care or a mortgage to deal with. But if you resist the urge to spend a lot on nice extras, you’ll have more money in the bank for the
important stuff. And to quit your job if you need to!
Lesson #3: you HaVe a joB? Get anotHer one
Holding down multiple jobs has always been one of my best moneymaking strategies. I get that not everyone can work two jobs, but even if you can pick up a onetime project, I recommend it—plus, a side gig can be a chance to put your passion front and center. For example, my best friend set up an Etsy store to sell some of her craf ts, and now she makes enough to cover the cost of her supplies. If she ever wanted to leave her job and make her hobby a career, she’d have the know-how to make it happen. As for me, freelance writing assignments have bulked up my savings and my résumé over the years. If your side project grows into something bigger, then great! So, to recap: We’ve all fantasized about storming out of a job. But as unromantic and grandparent-y as it sounds to say it, a job is a privilege. In fact, it’s exactly what can fund your big dream. It took me 13 years to have the savings I needed to go after mine—and no matter what happens now, I know I have the financial savvy and the confidence to get through whatever comes next. Every woman needs that! Marina Shifrin is a writer and comedian working in L.A.

he first time I met Elizabeth Banks, she had barbecue sauce all over her face and was making a pass at Paul Rudd. (Don’t judge! It was on the set of her first major film, Wet Hot American Summer.) And since then? Well: wow. She’s played some fabulously out-there women, including Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games and ambitious TV anchor Avery Jessup on 30 Rock. She’s produced movies, including the 2012 girl-tastic hit Pitch Perfect, through Brownstone Productions, the company she founded with her husband, Max Handelman. (She appeared in Pitch Perfect too and is directing the sequel.) And the 40-year-old balances all that with raising two kids—Felix, three, and Magnus, one and a half—and managing her popular website, elizabethbanks.com.

There were some things like, “Don’t you want to be naked in this bathtub in a scene where someone slits your throat?” I did not want to do that. So when I first started out, I did embrace some nos, and happily so. In the very beginning I also got offered a two-year soap opera contract. I had student loans, and the offer was for more money than I’d ever heard of in my life. I didn’t even have an agent yet! But someone said, “You booked a soap opera [on] day three of being in New York. Let’s see what else you can do.” So I turned it down and called my mom from a pay phone crying, thinking, What have I done? Maybe I’ll never get anything again! I booked a commercial a week later, and it was fine. Cl: I think it’s a very classically female reaction to think, I have to take it because it might be the only chance!

I’m sorry, and let’s move on.” I love professionalism—in a housekeeper, in a janitor, in a waiter, in a barista. [Laughs.] And I’ve done a lot of those jobs! CL: Barista, housekeeper, and janitor?

I’m really proud of Pitch Perfect because I think I presented a whole group of women who are really interesting, quirky, and weird. Yes, we had the super-sexy one.

You thought I was going to go the other way with that? I’m totally fine with dating a coworker.
“In most scripts I read, especially with guys in them, the women are only funny in a couple of ways.” EB: [Laughs.] We had a lot of targets. We made fun of all shapes, sizes, and creeds.

Yeah, that’s a Do. Getting jiggy is a Do at all times. CL: I’m glad we have left people with this solid professional advice. EB: The more jiggy you get, the longer you live!

“I’m Ready to Say It: I Was Abused”
When 28-year-old Dylan Farrow wrote an angry open letter in The New York Times accusing her adoptive father, Woody Allen, of sexually molesting her at age seven, America exploded with opinions. Many readers believed her every word, their opinions of Allen forever tarnished; others suspected that her mother, actress Mia Farrow, had put Dylan up to it—or even that Dylan was flat-out lying. But whatever you think of the case itself (no charges were filed against Allen when the allegation was investigated more than 20 years ago, and he continues to deny any guilt), Dylan’s passionate public words ignited a conversation about child sex abuse—and sparked all kinds of personal memories for survivors. Listen in as seven of them tell you their heroic tales of healing, moving on, getting justice…and finding peace. By Sheila Weller

I confronted my abuser— and then I forgave hIm I grew up in a small city in Missouri, and my parents were so normal—Dad was a teacher, Mom a secretary. But I always knew we were different from other families. My father sat me on his lap to open his Playboy and Penthouse magazines and walked around in front of me naked. At first, when he’d come into my bedroom after I was asleep—I’d smell the alcohol on his breath—he’d lie on me and put his fingers inside me. At some point between when I was seven and 10 (that’s how much I blocked it out), it was his penis. I c a n’t remember how many times my father raped me. I turned to food, but I a lso immersed myself in schoolwork—all the way through medical school. And I became an emergency room physician because being the calm person in the middle of chaos felt so familiar to me. I was getting a facial three years ago when the aesthetician put a warm washcloth over my face—the same way my father used to smother me with a teddy bear. (“Just lie quietly,” he’d say before raping me.) I jumped up, paid, and ran to my car. I was crying so hard I couldn’t drive. I sat there in solitude and started

When, at age 15, I found my rapist, a man who lived in our building, lying half off his bed, dead, I was very upset. I had wanted to kill him myself. His name was Jason*, and he was like an uncle figure–caregiver to my brother and me. Our parents are Russian immigrants and religious Jews who worked very hard when we were growing up. Jason lived on the ground floor of our building, and I’d go there after school and do my homework at his dining room table. He started groping me when I was 12 and gave me treats—like a Super Nintendo—that my parents couldn’t afford. On a summer day when I was 15, I came in all sweaty from playing in the park, and Jason told me I could use his shower. I was in there, naked, when he opened the shower door and pulled me out.

me. I was 13. It was my first kiss. Within a couple of months, he was forcing me to perform oral sex on him. I felt very confused. I didn’t realize I was being worked over by a master manipulator. When I was 14, he started raping me, keeping me around with threats, saying things like “If God brought us together, who are you to rip us apart?” But I started to see through him, and by the time I was a sophomore in college, he was out my life. Physically, at least. When I fell into the most severe depression imaginable, I knew I needed to tell the police. The case took a while, but he pled guilty to sexual abuse of a minor and will serve jail time. I’ll never forget how nauseated I felt during that cold call, pretending to have even the slightest bit of affection for this guy. I made myself talk sweetly, but the whole time I was so angry, I kept giving the phone the finger! After I hung up, one of the detectives said, “I almost started laughing when you did that. I’m so proud of you.”
“I started to see through him…and knew I needed to tell the police.” and he was an incredible painter. Extremely cunning, he saw from the get-go that I was naive and vulnerable, devoutly Christian, and unhappy at home. “I know what you’re going through,” he’d say. “Your parents don’t understand you.” I started coming over once a week. I’d sit on his couch; he’d scoot closer to me, grab my hand. “You’re beautiful,” he said one day. Then he kissed

i still need his apology I never told anyone about being molested as a little girl until my first date with a guy who became my boyfriend. I was 15. “Are you kidding? You have to report it!” he said. The abuser, John, a close friend of my mom’s, had moved into our finished basement after her divorce and would come into my bed for years to fondle me, starting when I was five. After telling my boyfriend, I did report John to the police, and they arrested him (he denied everything). But I realized I didn’t want to press charges. It would have been too much on my conscience to put someone I knew so well in jail. Did I do the right thing? For seven years I’ve questioned my decision. I know that if anyone else tells me that John molested them too, I’ll become involved. A while ago I called him up and asked why he did what he did to me. He wouldn’t answer because he thought I had a cop on the phone, and he reminded me that the statute of limitations wasn’t up. Then I yelled at the top of my lungs: “The second the statute of limitations is up, I am calling you, and you will acknowledge what you did to me!” Everyone who’s been through this is different. Some want the man to go to jail; others, to call him out—just like I am doing, albeit cautiously, and half anonymously, in this magazine. But we all want the men who molested us to know they cannot hide from what they did. —aLLIson, 23, an entrepreneur in an educational services start-up in New York
So How Common Are
false accusations?
Woody allen insists the claim that he abused Dylan Farrow is unfounded and “ludicrous”—which raises a disturbing question: How often do people lie about being abused? and why? First: Accidental false allegations, in which an adult mistakes something a child says or does as a sign of abuse, do occur (most famously in the day-care cases of the 1980s, when dozens of teachers and providers were wrongly accused and even imprisoned). but intentional lies about child sexual abuse are “relatively rare,” says Maggie bruck, Ph.D., a professor at Johns Hopkins university. (One of the largest studies on the subject, in the journal Child Abuse & Neglect, puts the number at 6 percent of allegations.) Many false charges, experts say, happen during contentious custody cases; one parent may tell a child she was abused by the other, and the child may come to believe it. such false charges, needless to say, destroy lives. One 24-year-old told Glamour that after her parents caught her looking at porn at age 17, she lied about a neighbor raping her. “sex was taboo in our house, and I was so ashamed,” says sarah. “When my mom threw out suggestions—‘Maybe someone has raped you?’—I said, ‘yeah, that’s it.’ ” sarah never thought authorities would go after the boy she named, who had moved away. but he spent four years in prison before she recanted and served jail time herself for the lie. “There are no words I can say that will erase the damage I’ve done or give back the years I’ve stolen,” she told the judge. “I am ashamed of my cowardice.”

Nasser’s mom was forced into an arranged marriage in her native Iran at age 18, which robbed her of a chance at education—or even access to contraception. After Nasser’s parents moved to the U.S., her mother divorced her father, losing the respect of her conservative family. “She worked 12-hour days in minimum-wage jobs to support my siblings and me,” says Nasser. But she was a powerful role model—and now Nasser hopes to give that same inspiration to other girls. In 2013 she founded Watch. Her. Lead., an initiative through which she travels around the country to encourage young minority women to run for office; she is also a youth rep to the United Nations and has interned for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.). “A decade from now,” she says, “I want young girls to see strong women in politics and think, If they can do it, I can too.”
Few rising-star musicians can claim an industry legend as a fan. But virtuoso violinist Itzhak Perlman is one of Haubs’ biggest supporters—he calls her “an inspired musician bursting with talent.” Born in Germany, Haubs and her mother moved to New York when she was in high school, where she became a star student of Perlman’s. It was her longtime dream: “When I was eight,” says Haubs, “my violin teacher turned on some of Mr. Perlman’s music and told me he taught in New York. That was it. I knew I had to get good enough to get into his program.” How’d she gain entrance? By being seriously intense, skipping recess and sleepovers to practice. Now she plays an eighteenth-century violin an average of eight hours a day and has racked up more than 700 concerts across Europe and the U.S. over the course of the last 10 years. Her signature preconcert ritual? Jumping jacks.

this year for the first time, Glamour introduced our winners to pros in their respective fields. benjamin talked to Annie Griffiths, one of the first female photographers for National Geographic. “your pictures are beautiful,” Griffiths told her. “Now find a community of people passionate about the same kind of work. See what they do, how they do it. your growth will skyrocket.”
Glamour paired Nasser with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.), author of A Fighting Chance, whom she’s long admired. “you inspire me!” Senator warren said. Her advice for Nasser? ask for help. “when I decided to run for senator, I knew why, but I didn’t know how. So I called as many people as I could—I didn’t wait. I needed help, so I asked for it. and I’m glad I did.”
Haubs talked to pianist Katya Grineva, who has performed 13(!) solo concerts at carnegie Hall. “when you have a busy career, you can get lost in it. always take the time to leave your stress behind,” Grineva counseled her. “Every morning I bring my coffee to a park in New york city to look at the East River. when I go home and play, I’m fresh.”
Schimmel, a wNba hopeful, spoke with retired league superstar and four-time Olympic gold medalist Lisa Leslie. “you have an opportunity to be a role model,” said Leslie, who acknowledged there will be setbacks. “with anything that happens in life, 10 percent is the problem, and the other 90 percent is how you interpret it. you have to have faith that problems are temporary.”

It was the perfect gift in retrospect, but when Benjamin’s mother gave her a Kodak point-and-shoot as a Christmas present, “I just shrugged,” she says. A few years later, as a student at an all-girls’ school, she was inspired to use a camera to tackle issues she saw classmates struggling with— bullying, body image, and peer pressure. She landed an internship with a top agent, who signed on to represent her professionally after being wowed by her portfolio; when Beyoncé herself saw Benjamin’s work, she hired her to shoot part of her 2011 world tour. Today this phenom has over 3 million views on her Flickr photo stream (flickr.com/ ireland1324), and her images have appeared on book covers and won top honors in a major competition. In photography “you’re not just recording reality,” Benjamin says. “You can change it.”

At age four Schimmel started shooting hoops with her big sister, Shoni, on the courts of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, where she grew up. She and Shoni remained unstoppable as teammates through high school (their mom was the coach), and this past season the sisters helped lead the University of Louisville Lady Cardinals to a 30-4 record. Last spring Schimmel was honored at the Final Four for her 3.73 GPA, the highest of all the players in the tournament; she spent the summer visiting more than 18 reservations, speaking to Native American kids about higher education. “I’ll never forget where I come from,” she says. “I want to show my five younger siblings and my community that it’s possible to live their dreams.” Kelly Ripa, who coproduced a documentary on the Schimmel family, calls her “an inspiration.”

This premed standout and her twin, Inesha, top right (yes, they’re both winners), spent their summers visiting their grand parents’ native Sri Lanka. When they discovered that many of the 90,000 women widowed in the country’s civil war were out of work, they founded GrowLanka, a mobile alert system that helps people jobhunt via text mes sage. They partnered with the country’s largest employer and, in less than a year, helped con nect 500 women in some of Sri Lanka’s most remote regions with job opportunities. “Now they can support their families, even after decades of war and being told they couldn’t,” says Ishani, who eventually hopes to work for Doctors Without Borders and host public health segments on TV.
Inesha Premaratne spent the fall of 2012 watching the presidential election unfold from the White House, where she interned in the Office of the First Lady. Yes, she got to meet President Obama and even introduced the First Lady before a speech—but the highlight? Giving a White House tour to her parents, who had recently become U.S. citizens. Last January she worked with her sister in Sri Lanka, and back on campus, Inesha founded Empower!, which helps undergrads launch socially conscious startups. “You can talk about problems, but there’s more power in charting out solutions,” she says. Her dream gig one day? Secretary of State.
WE TE AMEd HER WITH: Ishani Premaratne spoke with neurosurgeon and cNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, M.D., whose career has inspired her for years. “your trajectory is amazing,” Dr. Gupta told Ishani. “you’re doing exactly what I always tell young people, which is to find out what you’re truly passionate about. think about what makes your heart skip a beat. That’s the key to an impactful career.”

Briere’s father, an entrepreneur, constantly asked her, “Can you think of a better way?” to solve any problem she faced. By 15 she’d done just that, cofounding three start-ups and banking enough cash to help pay for college. From her dorm room she taught herself astrodynamics and how to code. NASA quickly hired her, and as one of their youngest summer research associates, she developed a simulation that helps a spacecraft bypass asteroids. Then she dreamed up an idea to put a digital time capsule in outer space, and now she’s mission director of Time Capsule to Mars, a first-of-its-kind project. “People all over earth will be able to upload text, photos, and videos to it,” she says. “So everyday people and kids, not just scientists, will be able to learn and get excited about space, and maybe even connect with future settlers there.”
Columbia University
Brooklyn-born Prescod started fencing at age nine, when her single mother signed her up for lessons after reading about a local program in the newspaper. “She heard they were sending a couple of athletes to the Olympics and thought, Why not?” says Prescod, who went on to be so good she competed in the 2012 London Games herself at just 19. Then, last May, as the number-one ranked women’s foil fencer in the U.S., she became the first American ever to win a Grand Prix women’s fencing title—a historic achievement. Today she captains the Columbia women’s squad and gives weekend lessons to innercity kids. “Fencing taught me to embrace fear,” she says. “It’s a lot of in-the-moment problem solving and looking for the most direct, practical way. That’s how I try to approach any challenge in my life now.” A policy buff, she hopes to one day work as a political strategist.
Most 4.0 high school students study all night. PadillaRodríguez didn’t have that luxury—she and her mother were homeless part of her junior year. PadillaRodríguez found refuge in an after-school theater program: “Acting let me take control of something, even if it was just a role,” she says. A friend’s family eventually took her in, and her experience onstage inspired Padilla-Rodríguez to cofound a free youth theater program, where she’s spent 1,900 hours with more than 300 at-risk students. She hopes to be a Latino-rights lawyer—and then a Supreme Court justice. (After she won a major scholarship, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wrote to congratulate her, saying that one day “I may be recommending you” for a job on the Court.)
At age 11, Ciesemier—who was born with biliary atresia, a rare disease that requires a permanent tube surgically implanted in her abdomen— was awaiting a liver transplant when she saw a TV special on African AIDS orphans. It changed her life. She scrounged up $360 to pay for a year of food and schooling for a Mauritian girl through a charity she’d googled. “It was the neediest time of my life, but helping her made me feel less helpless,” says Ciesemier. Friends and well-wishers followed her lead in such force that she created Kids Caring 4 Kids in 2004. Today she’s mobilized 10,000-plus tweens and teens to raise $940,000 for schools, clinics, and housing in sub-Saharan Africa. And who escorted her to her segment on The Oprah Winfrey Show? None other than President Bill Clinton.

Padilla-Rodríguez talked to Governor Susana Martinez (R–N.M.), the first female Hispanic governor in the U.S. the governor knows about defying expectations: “when elected district attorney, I was one of the first women and had to prove to the men that we were all a team,” Martinez said. “but, Ivón, don’t ever let anyone tell you you cannot do certain things. Everything is possible.”
ciesemier, who hopes to have her own talk show one day, spoke to Lisa Ling, host of Our America With Lisa Ling. “you’re on your way to a great career,” Ling told ciesemier. “and barbara walters told me promotion is crucial. She said, ‘If nobody knows about your work, no one will watch it.’ Now I promote my stories on twitter and Facebook; that’s how you give your work impact.”
Glamour connected briere with her idol, Megan Smith, vice president of Google[x], which develops technology for things like self-driving cars. “Space is your passion,” Smith said, but “whatever you want to do, being a junior person on a senior team is incredible. I spent a summer in college in a machine shop, building equipment for space shuttle experiments. Experiences like that are how you stretch.”
Prescod talked to Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s assistant and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications and speechwriting, who invited her to the white House. “Seek out people you admire,” Rhodes said. “I dropped everything to work on Obama’s campaign because he was so inspiring. Find those people and ask for advice. that can lead to career breakthroughs.”

You won’t have a conferenceroom table at your disposal, so consider a larger-thanaverage desk. “My kitchen table was big enough that we could sit next to each other to go over portfolios—or have our own space to crunch numbers or write social media posts,” says Neman.

I’ve seen girls walk up to Jen and say her films spoke to them so deeply they just had to thank her. Then they’ll look over at me and be like, “Oh, you’re here too!” GLamour: you’re quite an impressive couple. on 30 Rock you played a guy who was so handsome no one was ever mean to him. what’s it like to have your looks be a part of the equation that way? jh: It’s weird, honestly. When I look in the mirror, I see the same person I’ve seen since I was 10 years old. I don’t wake up in the morning and go, “There he is! Hot guy number one!” Absolutely not.
we want to go to there.

we Love Questlove Turns out, the brand-new Tonight Show music man has strong opinions on women—and hoodies! By Megan Angelo
T
here’s no denying it: Questlove (a.k.a. Ahmir Thompson) is the king of cool. The Roots drummer followed Jimmy Fallon from Late Night to The Tonight Show, where he keeps everyone from Michelle Obama to our grand mas entertained. (His cameos in the viral #Hashtag videos are perfection.) Here, the Philly native talks style and the tear jerking song he loves. gLamoUR: what was the strangest part about going from Late Night to The Tonight Show? QUesTLove: The Late Night set was more colorful, so now we have to dress to comple ment a more neutral set. But I still rock my weird bow ties!
gLamoUR: Speaking of clothes, you’re the hoodie expert, and a dJ and partner at a sweatshirt shop in NyC. what do you love about a girl in a hoodie? Q: It’s the ultimate boyfriend accessory. A girl’s not going to borrow my jeans or my sneak ers, but she can definitely borrow my hoodie. It’s like a wearable hug. gLamoUR: Is there a female artist who’s influenced you? Q: Every time I show someone Nina Simone’s 1976 live performance of “Feelings” at the Montreux Jazz Festival, they shed a tear. She really reaches deep into her soul. gLamoUR: obviously singers and guitarists use their instruments to seduce ladies all
the time, but have you ever used the drums to get a girl? Q: I can’t think of a time I did— saxophonists and guitarists, they’re the leaders of the pack. Drums are so unsexy. gLamoUR: that’s not true! Q: One of my idols once told me to scale down to a threepiece drum set—that’s all you need. If you’re breaking down all those drums after the show, by the time you’re done, your band mates are already backstage, taking all the girls. So I cut down, and from then on was always the first one packed up. tablet Exclusive! Check out the musicians Questlove is feeling these days, only in our digital edition.

the emmy-nominated series 30 for 30, which chronicles big and little moments in sports history, has done something amazing for esPN: It’s attracted not just sports-obsessed audiences but also those who have no clue what a lay-up is. libby Geist, 34, below, has a lot to do with that: As director of development, she oversees documentaries with a team that’s more than 50 percent women— unexpected in sports. We got Geist to tell us more about her job. My trial-by-fire beginnings: “I was an assistant at a very small documentary company— there were just two of us! I had no experience and was actually googling basics about cameras, but my boss trusted me. Real work stars always ask, ‘How can I help?’ and get it done.” I was really proud when: “The Price of Gold [the tonya Harding–Nancy Kerrigan doc she produced] aired. I watched from the couch, emailed the director, highfived myself, and passed out.” What I wear to work: “I’m 5'11" and a flats gal. When I wear heels, I look like a drunk tree.” —M.A.

Do Women Writers Make tV Better? The answer is yes. And the proof is in the writers’ room at Parks
L
eslie Knope is my favorite heroine on television. So when I found out that all that Parks and Recreation goodness comes from the brains of a group of cool female writers, I had to invite myself to meet them. It’s not exactly the norm to have a strong contingent of girls on a TV writing staff, Parks and Rec cocreator Mike Schur readily admits. “There’s a massive amount of misogyny in television,” Schur says. “But we just hire the funniest writers we can find.” He has a good eye—both Katie Dippold, screenwriter of The Heat, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine crackup actress Chelsea Peretti have spent time writing for Parks. These days the girls at the table are Aisha Muharrar, 30, who’s been with Parks since 2009; Megan Amram, 26, a Twitter star; Jen Statsky, 28, a Late Night With Jimmy Fallon vet; Emma Fletcher, 32, a former Obama campaign worker; and Rachna Fruchbom, 37, a former stay-athome mom. They say that writing for a pretend awesome woman makes them more real-life successful. GL AM O UR : Why do you think women connect with Leslie so much? M U h A R R A R : She’s a feminist but upbeat—more like what most women are like. Feminists portrayed in the media often appear shrill and angry. StAt Sk y: She’s always striving to go to the next level. A M R A M : Leslie makes me feel like I can be all the things I am, even if they don’t seem to mix. She’s powerful and ambitious but also likes braiding her friends’ hair.
We pledge allegiance to these women-written Parks and Rec characters.
GL AMOUR: Her character’s a friend to women and men. F RU ch b O M : On TV, friendships between women can shift into competition, which is sad. Often you only see friendships when women are a mess and need their friends. But in real life your friends are just as much a part of your success. GL AMOUR: You’re right—Leslie is successful. We have a lot of women on TV now whose thing is “figuring it all out!” That can be fun, but it must be great to write for a character who’s past that point in her life. F L e t c h e R : It took me a long time to admit that I wanted to be a writer, but Leslie doesn’t apologize for what she wants. She’s taught me that when you say, “This is what I want,” people get behind you. GL AM OUR : I know this is a show with many women in the writers’ room, so do you feel, I guess, free to be girly? M U h A RR A R : I’m sure you’ve heard us say “cute” 80 million times today, but the guy writers here are like that too. F L e t c h e R : We had a big discussion the other day about whether people would know what capelets were. The answer was no. FRUchbOM: We chose infinity scarves. G L A M O U R : This was a tough year for Leslie. She lost her dream job and her BFF Ann moved away. M U h A R R A R : If you’re trying for big things, sometimes you’ll stumble. Seeing someone work as hard as Leslie works sparks something in me. S tAt S k y: These characters have such full lives. They get married, start businesses, follow their dreams— FLe tcheR: And we’re all doing that too. AMR AM: I never thought of that. That’s f--kin’ cool!

rom a distance, fans may think Hollywood is as cliquish as a high school cafeteria: action-star jocks sitting at one table, drama nerds at the next; red-carpet leading ladies seated far away from the back-of-the-class goofballs. That world doesn’t really exist, but even if it did, Scarlett Johansson would be a table-hopper: a tough-kid tomboy, ridiculous comic, gorgeous world traveler, badass action hero, and sexpot, all at once—and always a woman everyone, everywhere, would like to sit down with. So I do just that. Fresh off her Glamour photo shoot, Johansson has shed the metallic Lanvin you see on the cover and changed into an unpretentious sweater and jeans. You don’t have to squint hard to see the fearless New York City theater kid who grew up singing show tunes and tap-dancing in her living room with her twin brother, just a few blocks away from the downtown Manhattan photo studio where we meet up. The famously husky, grown-up voice that she’s had forever (see her breakout childhood roles in Manny & Lo and The Horse Whisperer, and of course 2003’s Lost in Translation) makes so much more sense now. Today Johansson is defining adulthood on her own terms: She has bounced back from her 2011 divorce from Ryan Reynolds, gotten engaged to French journalist Romain Dauriac, moved on from being managed by her mother, learned to embrace her status as the “Sexiest Woman Alive,” and begun to find a new niche as a kind of bombshell everywoman: from the loud-“tawking” Jersey girl of last year’s Don Jon to the dream-girl operating system of Spike Jonze’s award-winning Her. In this
GLAMOUR: What are the side projects? SJ: Well, I’m developing a film to direct. And I’ve often thought it would be fun to have a restaurant or food store. GLAMOUR: And you’re also still singing and making music in addition to the acting. I hear there’s more music on the way? SJ: Yeah. I formed this girl band called The One and Only Singles with a group of friends of mine. Dave Sitek [of TV on the Radio] produced a couple of songs for us. The idea was to do a sort of über– pop band: Bangles-esque, Go-Go’s feeling. GLAMOUR: So are we gonna get more music soon? SJ: It’s funny, I did a song last year that my friend Josh Ralph wrote for a documentary called Chasing Ice, and the song was Oscarnominated for Best Original Song. This year a song that I performed for Her, which Karen O cowrote and also performs, was nominated. GLAMOUR: Every single you record, you get a nomination. SJ: That might be the [closest to an] Oscar nomination I ever get! GLAMOUR: Your Captain America costar Chris Evans says you’re a karaoke ringer. What’s your go-to song? SJ: It definitely changes, depending on what phase I’m in in my life. The past couple of years, I’ve been really into Fleetwood Mac. GLAMOUR: Like, depressing divorce-era Fleetwood Mac? Or fun? SJ: Either way! I do “Second Hand News” or “Dreams.” Every once in a while, I pull out “Landslide.” Not a dry eye in the karaoke room. GLAMOUR: You seem destined to be the voice in a Disney musical— SJ: Oh, that’s my dream! I loved Frozen! Have you seen it? That’s, like, a life goal, to be the voice in a Disney movie. Can someone make that happen?
“In an actress’s career, there’s probably a sense of urgency to stay relevant…. Male actors can work forever and ever.” spring’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, she’s trotting back out her tough femme fatale, the two-pistol-toting Black Widow— a character so popular that she may be the first female superhero in years to get a major film, beating even Wonder Woman to the (ahem) punch. But since Johansson never strays too far from her indie roots, she’s pulling a doubleheader right now, starring in Under the Skin, a thriller in which her character picks up pedestrians on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland. Some of the men in the movie were actually real passersby—and made the final cut. The secrecy of filming with the non-actors was uncomfortable for her: “I don’t like the feeling of knowing something that somebody else doesn’t,” she tells me, growing suddenly a little awkward. It’s a moment that will echo in my mind a few days later, when the Internet is ablaze with news that she and Dauriac are reportedly expecting their first child. Johansson really is in a new phase of her life. Listen in as she opens up about how she got here, and what matters now. GLAMOUR: The last time Glamour interviewed you for a cover story, you said that when you turn 30, you might open a bakery. You turn 30 this fall. Where’s the bakery? SCARLETT JOhAnSSOn: Oh! What’s that Les Mis quote? “I was young and unafraid—and dreams were made and used and wasted.…” [Laughs.] My job still excites me. I couldn’t have foreseen it being so exciting for so long, being a jaded 20-year-old, or whatever. GLAMOUR: So no bakery, then? SJ: I mean, I have a couple of side projects. But no bakery.
GLAMOUR: We’re on it. Lately in Hollywood, guys like James Franco or Joseph Gordon-Levitt are directing and launching TV shows and recording albums and writing books. But it seems to me that many women—you’re one notable exception—are less likely to branch out. SJ: Definitely. I think, in an actress’s career, there’s probably a sense of urgency to stay relevant, to stay the object of desire, or to stay in the spotlight. Your career is much shorter, in general. Male actors can work forever and ever and continue to be leading-man material. For actresses, it’s much harder. Young actresses think, OK, I’m gonna make hay while the sun shines…later on, I’ll direct a film when my acting career slows down. GLAMOUR: But you’re going for it anyway by directing an adaptation of Truman Capote’s Summer Crossing. SJ: It’s something that I’ve wanted for so long—since I was, like, 12. GLAMOUR: In Hollywood, have you ever had a mentor? SJ: I didn’t really have a mentor growing up other than my sister, but when I was a little girl I wanted to be like Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis. She had both a fragility and a strength that I was in total awe of. Other than my mother, I think she was the picture of femininity to me. GLAMOUR: You’ve said that you have felt stuck in a moment in time, playing young women. SJ: It’s been a long transition. When I made Lost in Translation, I was 17, and now I’m 29. I played somebody in my early twenties in that film, but I was still 17. I think I’ve been “in my early twenties” for, like, over a decade!

actor. You’re captured in a certain time of your life, and it’s hard for people to move past that. GLAMOUR: Like everyone, you’ve had ups and downs. What’s been the toughest moment of your career? SJ: Well, before I did Iron Man 2, I had sort of reached a plateau. I was no longer an ingenue, which I was happy to shed the title of. But I was also only 25. And I had played that kind of “girl in transition” for a while. I didn’t want to do that anymore. A lot of actresses in their early thirties had this plethora of opportunities, and for me, it just was kind of dry. I needed something on a bigger scale. But finding what that was that would still have the integrity was hard. GLAMOUR: Tell me about Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Are you going to be kicking more ass? So far, the guys have had the fun. SJ: Yeah, the Black Widow kicks ass in Winter Soldier. I had some pretty rad fight sequences in Avengers, but a lot of the fighting in Winter Soldier is hand-to-hand. It’s brutal, street-fighting style… such a weird thing: I kinda got career-sidetracked in the superhero lane—happily! But I never thought I’d have, like, sports injuries. GLAMOUR: Gotta ask: Why do you hate the nickname ScarJo? SJ: I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It’s lazy and flippant. And there’s something kind of violent about it. There’s something insulting about it. GLAMOUR: You don’t hold back. It seems like you’ve gotten more comfortable with your sexiest-woman-alive status over the years. True? SJ: You have to figure out a way to use that to your advantage. You have to look at the George Clooney method or Matt Damon method. It’s much easier to swallow when you can be cheeky than if you fight
but also our upbringing: My parents got divorced when we were 13. There was a lot of movement. A lot happening. And I was working. My parents were on either coast, and our next older sibling is five years older than us and was in college while we were still at home. We had to stick together and be each other’s constant in an environment that was really changing a lot. GLAMOUR: You brought up divorce. You voiced the artificial intelligence operating system in Spike Jonze’s Her, and I was wondering what it was like to work on a film that’s about moving on with your life after heartbreak, after your own divorce from Ryan Reynolds. SJ: When I started to talk with Spike about the film, we shared our relationship experiences. We talked about what it feels like to not have something work and what that does to your sense of self. GLAMOUR: How are you different now? SJ: I think I know myself better. I feel I know now more of what I need in a relationship, what I want in a relationship. And I know I have more tools to communicate, not just with my partner, but with myself. That’s not necessarily any reflection of who I was married to or what was happening in my marriage, but really where I was in my life. When I was first married, I was much younger. And I have had the opportunity now to work more on getting to know myself. I think that makes you a better partner and somebody who is able to work with somebody and stay in a relationship in the not-romantic moments. I have more patience with myself. I have more patience with my partner. I think that just comes with age, probably. GLAMOUR: So the plan is basically that once you get through this crazy year of work, you and Romain will figure out a wedding date?
“I know myself better. I know now more of what I need in a relationship.” against it. Actresses get stupid questions asked of them all the time. Like, “How do you stay sexy?” Or “What’s your sexiest quality?” Ridiculous things you would never ask a man because they’d just walk out of the interview. As I get older, I am more comfortable with myself, my body, my image. Plus, it’s probably gonna fade in the next couple years. I should just relish it now, before people are like, “How do you hold on to your youth?” Or “How do you avoid wrinkles?” GLAMOUR: I think you’ve got a few years before that. When you were starting out, was there another young actress you admired? SJ: There were actresses that were a few years older than me, like Kirsten Dunst. She was a great kid actor and continues to be a strong talent as an adult. She was very natural, and even as an adolescent, she had a commanding presence. GLAMOUR: Have you ever gotten a great piece of advice at work? SJ: I remember Laurence Fishburne once asking me at eight years old if I wanted to be an actor or a movie star. I said, “Both.” It took me several years to understand what he was trying to help me to think about. Of course, a kid wants it all, but I later realized that I wanted to do the work. The work is what’s important. GLAMOUR: We’re near your old public elementary school, P.S. 41, in Greenwich Village. You were a theater kid from early on, right? SJ: Yeah. I was a musical theater buff. I took tap dance and singing and all that. We did Oliver! And the musical theater director gave my twin brother, Hunter, the part of Fagin, the big part. He did a great job. He had a beard and everything. He was so cute. GLAMOUR: Do you have a special connection with your twin? SJ: [Nods.] I mean, we’ve been together since the womb. We’re very protective of each other. I think that has to do with us being twins
SJ: Yeah, I guess so. We’re just going with the flow. I’ve never been one to do a full-on themed wedding. I don’t care about that stuff. GLAMOUR: The two of you are splitting time between New York and Paris. What’s a typical weekend in Paris? SJ: Well, he loves art, so we might visit some of the galleries or go to a museum. That’s his true passion. I like to experience that with him. I guess part of the wonderful thing about living in Paris is how people take their time with things. And I like to feel no pressure on the weekends in Paris. Sunday, most things are closed in Paris, and there’s something wonderful about that. So I’m much more comfortable just spending the weekend in my bed. GLAMOUR: Has Paris changed your sense of style? SJ: Yeah. Because I have more competition! The nice thing about being in Paris is that you know everybody’s looking at what you’re wearing: You have an audience, you know? New York is about street style that’s functional. A Paris look is not functional! It doesn’t matter if your shoes are comfortable. Here [in New York] you can still wear your Nikes. In Paris you suck it up. You hobble around. Although my girlfriends in Paris and I decided we’re adopting the trend of athletic streetwear ’cause we got sick of it. I was like, “I am sick of not feeling my big toe after two hours of dancing!” GLAMOUR: So you all go out in your sneakers? SJ: Yeah. Flyknits or old-school Reeboks—and we don’t care. If the whole flock of girls is wearing it, the guys have to accept it. So we just wear it with confidence. Here’s the thing: When you’re dancing your pants off, nobody’s looking at your shoes.

The Power Princess
She may have married a prince, but Ameerah Al-Taweel, 26, wants only one happy ending: equal rights for women everywhere. Photograph by Norman Jean Roy “Ameerah Al-Taweel works to help vulnerable women and children. She is a role model not just for Arab women but for all women.” —Malala Yousafzai, 16, girls’-education advocate
A
meerah Al-Taweel’s story starts like a Disney script: Raised by her divorced mom and her grandparents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, she landed the opportunity of a lifetime at age 18, when she requested—and got—an interview with Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal for a school paper. Their 10-minute meeting turned into two hours. “We just clicked,” she says. He was equally smitten, and nine months later they wed. In most fairy tales that’s where the credits would have rolled—with Al-Taweel a bona fide princess, married to one of the 30 richest people in the world. But for her, it was just the beginning: “I didn’t want to be that girl who’s not doing anything,” she says. “I wanted to make an impact.” It wasn’t easy. “This is a country where most employers require that women get their guardian’s permission to work and where the testimony of one man equals that of two women,” says Betty Bernstein-Zabza, senior policy adviser at the Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues at the U.S. Department of State. “Public appearances are not something many wives do.” Still, Al-Taweel stepped into the spotlight, cohelming Prince Alwaleed’s charity, the Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundations, and becoming a vocal advocate for women’s civil rights—including the right to drive, inherit equally, and retain custody of children after divorce. This being real life, though, and not a fairy tale, there was another wrinkle: Al-Taweel and the prince divorced last year. It was an amicable split (she still calls her ex her “best friend” and “mentor”), and Al-Taweel never thought of stepping back into private life. Indeed, she’s taken to the global stage, working with everyone from President Bill Clinton to Jordan’s Queen Rania and the British royal family to advance the rights of women in the Middle East. “Ameerah’s advocacy on behalf of Saudi women has provided a tremendous contribution to how we think about the rights of girls and women around the world,” says Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation. And Al-Taweel keeps her issues front and center by asking her nearly one million Twitter and Instagram followers to stay involved, most recently by donating vital supplies to Syrian refugees—supplies she then took to the camps herself. “Saudi women are doing incredible things, and we’re making progress all the time,” she says. “I want to be the one women look to when they tell their daughters, ‘Look, she got a divorce and see what she’s doing now? She’s an independent woman. She’s doing something good for her country. She’s a role model.’ ” —GenevieveRoth
Her words to live by: “Throwyourselftotheedgethatyou’realways scaredof.Trybeingindependent;doityourway.You’llloveit.”

ere’s my life, in bullet form: 1984: I’m born in San Diego. 1997: I fall in love with my first article of vintage clothing: a pair of persimmon-red disco pants. 1999: I land my first job, at Subway. I get OCD on the BLT. I discover that I like working really hard. 2001: My parents get divorced. I move out and into a friend’s apartment. My bedroom is a closet under the stairs. 2002: I hitchhike up and down the West Coast, finally landing in the Pacific Northwest. I pursue a life of petty thievery and Dumpster diving (do not knock a free bagel until you’ve tried one). 2002: I sell my first thing online. It’s a stolen book. 2003: I am detained for shoplifting. Probably my life’s low point. I kept a list of what was in the shopping cart that day as a reminder of how close I was to killing my inner #Girlboss. 2006: I get a hernia, which means I need to get a job to get health insurance. I find one checking IDs in the lobby of an art school. I have a lot of time to kill, so I dick around on the Internet and open up an eBay shop called Nasty Gal Vintage. 2014: I am the CEO of a $100 million–plus business. (Insert the sound of a record screeching to a halt here.) I’m leav-
ing out some details, but if I told you everything, you wouldn’t read the rest of this story, and I want you to keep going. All of the above is true: I went from being an anarchist freegan with a checkered past to a millionaire businesswoman. That eBay store was the perfect outlet for my thrifting obsession and my inner adrenaline junkie, who thrived on the instant gratification of watching auctions spark bidding wars. Each week I grew smarter and more aware of what my customers wanted, and each week my auctions made more and more money. It was shocking how fast it happened: Nasty Gal went from doing $150,000 a year as an eBay store selling vintage clothes to an online retailer of vintage and new fashion doing $150,000 a day. Now we do $150,000 over lunch. Along the way I’ve learned some lessons that might bring out in you what I call a #Girlboss. By that I mean this: You’re a woman with an awesome life who can do whatever you want. As a #Girlboss, you’ll sometimes break rules and sometimes follow them, but the decision will always be on your terms. You’re going to take over the world and change it in the process. You’re a badass. The abbreviated version of the advice I urge you to never forget: Don’t ever grow up. Don’t ever become a bore. Don’t ever let “the Man” get to you. OK? Cool. Now let’s do this.

When my parents pulled me out of Catholic school in fourth grade, I thought they were rescuing me from the tortures of being misunderstood. But then they filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter, and I realized it was instead because we couldn’t afford the tuition. I remember tagging along to the credit counselor’s office and watching them cut up their credit cards and toss them into a jar filled with the shards of other people’s bad financial decisions. From that point on my dad preached the mantra of “Cash is king.” When it became clear to my parents that neither school nor work was on my list of priorities, they made the tough decision to sever the financial umbilical cord. At the time it seemed so unfair that some kids could do whatever they wanted while I spent my afternoons working at a Haight Street costume shop, helping “burners” choose their crazy hats and goggles for Burning Man. Now I know that forcing me to figure out how to provide for myself was one of the best things my parents ever did. Being a dropout, a nomad, a thief, and a lazy employee were all very important twists in my path to becoming a #Girlboss.
MY LIFE IN VINTAGE BY SOPHIA AMORUSO
#GIRLBOSS LESSON 4 | MASTER THE ART OF THE ASK From haggling over the price of a sweater to negotiating with investors, talking about money doesn’t bother me. Years ago a potential landlord insisted on keeping my “nonrefundable credit-check fee,” even after I’d told him not to process my paperwork yet. I’d called
With my mom in 1987, far left, before I started dragging her to “smelly” thrift stores. Oh, and there I am as a child model. The only good thing about it? I got to skip school. APRIL 1987
#GIRLBOSS LESSON 2 | PAY YOUR BILLS! When I was 19 I bought a bra at Victoria’s Secret (even a freegan knows to invest in new underwear). At the register they asked me if I wanted to sign up for a Victoria’s Secret card. I thought I was signing up for a rewards program, but I had unknowingly been bestowed my first credit card. I moved around a lot and missed bills, so by the time that $28 lingerie charge caught up with me, my credit was wrecked. Stories about Nasty Gal almost always mention how I built the company with no debt, an unusual feat in the business world. But that wasn’t by choice; it was because no bank would give me a credit card, never mind a business loan—I had to bust my ass to make a profit from day one. As a result, I grew Nasty Gal to $28 million in revenue without borrowing a dime. What can an apprentice #Girlboss learn from my mistake? This: Little things will wreck your credit. Parking tickets can bring court dates and end up costing thousands of dollars. You might find the apartment of your dreams only to be denied because of that goddamn Target card you signed up for and forgot about while buying a mop, a sports bra, and mayonnaise. Bills, sadly, are not an ignore-it-and-it-goes-away problem. Big companies are like the mob—they always get their money. So get them before they get you: Pay up, and pay on time.
#GIRLBOSS LESSON 3 | MONEY LOOKS BETTER IN THE BANK THAN ON YOUR FEET In my early eBay days, I’d scour Craigslist for estate sales, then show up at 6:00 A.M. to stand in line with people who were at least 20 years older than I was. At local thrift stores I’d wait for employees 248 g la mou r.c om
to wheel out shopping carts of freshly priced merchandise from the back, then—pounce! Once, I found two Chanel jackets in the same shopping cart. I paid $8 for each, listed them with a $9.99 starting bid, and sold them on eBay for $1,500 a pop. I felt like I was printing money! But instead of buying out the bar or heading to Prada, I started saving, investing every cent back into the business. Why? Because by then I knew that money spells freedom. If you control your finances and don’t allow them to control you, you won’t find yourself stuck in jobs, places, or relationships that you hate just because you can’t afford to go elsewhere. Learning how to manage your money is one of the most important things you’ll ever do. Being in a good spot financially can open up so many doors. Being in a bad spot can slam them in your face.
Enjoying a bagel I probably found in a Dumpster, far left. When paying models in hamburgers didn’t work, I stepped in front of the camera myself. 2002
him five minutes after submitting my application; there was no way he’d had time to run my credit. So I fought. On the phone something came over me. My voice got low and I growled, “Fifty dollars means a lot more to me than it does to you, and I have allll the time in the world to get it back.” I meant it, and he knew it, seeing as I was unemployed. And guess what? I got my money back. If you’re not getting what you want, stop for a second: Have you actually flat-out asked for it? If you haven’t, stop complaining. You can’t expect the world to read your mind. You have to put it out there, and sometimes putting it out there is as simple as just saying, “Hey, can I have that?”
#GIRLBOSS LESSON 5 | A BIGGER PAYCHECK SHOULD NOT EQUAL A BIGGER LIFESTYLE Another no-no is increasing your spending as soon as your income increases. I’ve been careful to avoid this pitfall. As Nasty Gal grew, if we absolutely needed something, I bought it. But if it was just “nice to have,” I didn’t. When we finally went to Ikea and bought desks, it felt like a shopping spree. After all, this was a big step up from my previous arrangement of milk crates and derelict plywood. In 2011 I went to Hawaii by myself. It was my first vacation since I started the company, and it was so heavenly, I extended my trip from a week to a week and a half. When I returned, in a state of semi-nirvana after spending 11 days in paradise, I found out that someone had ordered $700 Herman Miller Aeron chairs for the entire office. At that point, yes, Ikea desks were totally necessary; $12,000 worth of Aeron chairs were not. To me, a chair of this caliber was a rite of passage. I’d pur-

“Being a dropout, a nomad, a thief, and a lazy employee were important twists in my path to becoming a #Girlboss.” chased the one in my office with my own money, not Nasty Gal’s, and you wanna know where I got it? You guessed it…used, on Craigslist. There was no way I was going to have interns rolling around on these things! My point: You can’t act like you’ve arrived when you’re only just receiving the invitation. (Oh, and those chairs? Our poor office manager spent six months selling them… on Craigslist.)
#GIRLBOSS LESSON 6 | LUCK IS BUNK What I hate about the idea of luck is that it lets you off the hook. Part of the reason Nasty Gal has been so successful is that I jumped in feetfirst rather than waiting for luck to find me. Whether it was the word choice in a product description or the expression on a model’s face, I treated everything with the utmost care. I was the stylist and the photographer (photo shoots were conducted against the backdrop of my blue garage door). I placed every shipping label, responded to every comment left on my eBay page. Remember, I touched every piece of clothing in those thrift stores. You have to do that with your life.
#GIRLBOSS LESSON 7 | GRAB YOUR CHANCE The world loves to tell you how difficult things are, and the world’s not exaggerating. More than half a million new businesses are started each month in the United States alone—80 percent of them fail within the first year and a half. But remember, that didn’t dissuade me from betting on myself. You can’t have it all, and nothing comes easy. Prepare to make sacrifices and compromises, get let down and let other people down, fail and start over. But difficult doesn’t mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe you can’t control, what you can control is how hard you try and when or whether you pack it in. The more you experiment, take risks, and make mistakes, the better you’ll know yourself, the better you’ll know the world, and the more focused you’ll be. There’s a chance for you, #Girlboss. So take it. Sophia Amoruso is the founder, CEO, and “chief troublemaker” at Nasty Gal. She is also the author of the new book #GIRLBOSS, from which this article is adapted. 249 g la mou r.c om

A few swimsuit shopping Dos & Don’ts Don’t rush
Do shop alone
Save your friends the agony. “It’s not the best idea to make swimsuit shopping a bonding experience,” Romanowsky warns. “Some things are better done by yourself.”
Don’t wear granny unDerwear
“OK,” says Romanowsky, “this might seem obvious, but it’s true. You don’t want unnecessary bulk or weird lines under your suit.” Wear a thong!
1. please, ask for help!
Don’t forget the “benD anD snap”
“Having a baby makes you really realize how strong you are, as far as your capacity for lack of sleep and all the other demands that go along with nurturing a child,” Rayder says. “But it’s important to remember that you’re an individual and you have to take care of yourself too. Whether you’re a single mom or you have a husband who’s very present, you are still going to need support. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.”
Do check the fabric
“Of course there was stress about my body!” says the 35-year-old, who gained 65 pounds while pregnant. “Being in shape is part of my job. We all put pressure on ourselves—whether for your career or not—and I’m not going to lie: The pounds didn’t just melt off. I had to work at it. But during my pregnancy I was so focused on Luka being OK that losing the weight actually seemed easier than all the worry about him.”
There are racks and racks of swimsuits in this issue, including the sanely priced picks above. Trying any of ’em on? Amy Romanowsky, head of swimwear at J.Crew, offers some fitting-room therapy: Trying on swimwear is like dating. “You might have to sample a lot of different types before you find The One,” says Romanowsky. “Give yourself plenty of time.”

Elle Woods’ signature pickup move in Legally Blonde works here too. “Try a standing squat to see if the back gives you a wedgie, check the back to make sure the edges don’t creep down, raise your arms to test that the top is secure, and bend over to make sure there’s no chest spillage,” says Romanowsky.
Once you’ve found your suit, she recommends pulling the fabric to make sure it’s got good stretch. “Suits made from poor-quality nylon will wear thin quickly,” meaning you’ll have to repeat this whole bikini-shopping process—who wants that? —C.P.

3. people will give you tips. be careful! “So many women will have advice to give you,” Rayder warns. “But it’s important not to take it all to heart. Everyone is different, and you have to do what’s right for you. We often look outside ourselves for guidance, but I’ve learned that there’s not just one way to be a mother.” —C.P.

This woman has tried a lot of lipsticks So pay attention to what Estée Lauder face Joan Smalls (the star of our beauty story) has to say on the subject!
glamoUr: OK, you ready for this? Think quickly. Tell us the lipstick shade you’d wear: to a 9:00 A.M. model casting? Joan smalls: Nude. glamoUr: To the grocery store? Js: Probably a tint, like a “bitten” color. glamoUr: To a meeting with your Estée Lauder bosses? Js: Blue. Kidding! That would depend on what my mood is or what I’m wearing or if my outfit needed something. glamoUr: On a date… Js: Well, tonight I’m expecting to be kissed! I don’t want to smudge my nice makeup on my boyfriend—though he loves seeing me with red lips. He’s like, “That looks so beautiful on you.” Then when he leans over to kiss me, I’m like, Eh, you’re ruining my lipstick! Good makeup kind of comes with a price. —Simone Kitchens

Kristen Wiig Hamm, who worked
with Wiig in Bridesmaids, says she taught him “to be fearless. She’s got that ‘I don’t care—if it’s funny, I’ll do it’ level of fearlessness.”
amy Poehler “The first time I hosted SNL, I didn’t really know Amy. She was very pregnant. We were sitting in makeup chairs next to each other when she got a call that her ob-gyn had died, and she burst into tears. I went up to her and joked, ‘You gotta pull it together because this hosting gig is really important to me.’ And she just let out that full Amy Poehler laugh, and I thought, OK, we’re gonna be friends.”
elisabeth moss So Peggy did make the list. “People don’t know this, but Elisabeth has the sneakiest, driest wit. You’ll hear the darkest things coming out of this little pixie!” —Megan Angelo
l ife l e s sons Before launching her own company, #GIRLBOSS author Sophia Amoruso— seen on page 246—worked at Borders. “They taught me to say ‘yes’ instead of ‘sure’ or ‘Let me check’ instead of ‘I don’t know,’ ” she says. “Important tidbit about customer service: Apologize to people. Even if it’s not your fault.”

Love, Rashida

Ever feel like you’re wearing a sign that says “Jerks and a-holes welcome here”? Rashida Jones can relate to that. We’re putting in some face time with real live men…
Carrie, tell me why we’re here again.
Right, right. Bars are awesome.
…in order to meet and date them. Which is what we’re trying to do, right? Later…
Girl, I’m the full package.
Baby, you and I are both too good for this place. Let’s get out of here. Whoa. Easy there, tiger.
Trust.
Is it just me or are we self-selecting for assholes? For reals! Is it my perfume? What am I doing wrong?
Are men trying out the “only the strong survive” theory?
Since we’re being honest here, I wear a night guard to bed! Anyone think that’s hot?
Um…I’m still standing right here. And that kinda hurt my feelings.
Huh—you know what? Feelings are hot on a guy. Wanna buy me a drink?

Or maybe they’re using bravado to hide their desperate insecurities and fear of rejection?
That’s pretty sad.
I’m like a douchebagseeking missile.

This May, Kick It Into Gear Some months are mellow, some months are action-packed, and then there’s this month, when you stand to be your most productive in ages. Why? Because Mars—the “man of action” planet—is breaking out of a paralyzing retrograde on the 19th, letting you get on with your life. Start a fitness routine, revamp your dating profile, or update your résumé; your to-do list won’t know what hit it.
ancer, June 21–JuLY 22: Earnest Saturn has been in your romance house for a year and a half, making love a serious priority. On the 14th, a climactic full moon joins Saturn and clicks with courageous Jupiter, which means the planets are aggressively nudging you to follow your heart. So do it! Single? Ask your flirtatious guy friend out on a date. Attached? Have the “Let’s take things to the next level” convo. Was that so hard? eo, JuLY 23–auG. 22: When the sun enters your group sector on May 20, ask yourself: What am I excited about in life, and who do I want to explore that with? Find a hobby that means something to you, and connect with people who share those goals. If you want to sing, join an a cappella group; if you want to run a marathon this fall, you’re more likely to drag yourself out of bed for early-morning runs when you have friends waiting. (And yes, you really need to start training now!) irGo, auG. 23–sePt. 22: You’ve got work on the brain this month, with mental Mercury—your ruling planet—in your ambition angle May 7 through 29. And on the 15th in particular, Merc syncs up with planets in your sharing sector, making this an ideal moment to connect with colleagues. Find a partner for an upcoming project or invite coworkers out for drinks; building up those professional relationships will only help your career. Some networking won’t kill you. ibra, sePt. 23–oct. 22: You’re all about one-on-one time in your life right now—and no wonder, with Venus chilling in your close-relationships house May 2 through 28. But with proactive Mars in your sign, it’s on you to initiate that much-needed intimacy. Borrow your guy’s phone and put a few dinner-anda-movie nights on his calendar, or set up a brunch date with friends. (But remember to leave the 11th free for Mom.)
eMini, MaY 21–June 20: Cue the makeover montage! This month a few tweaks will make you feel like a new woman. With insightful Mercury in your sign May 7 to 29, it’s time to reassess your image: Get that edgy haircut you’ve been dying for, splurge on a facial, or dust off your yoga DVD (fact: one’s butt can be transformed in four weeks). When a new moon lands in Gemini on the 28th, you’ll be ready to own your updated look.
corPio, oct. 23–nov. 21: Let it out, Scorps! On the 14th, an emotional full moon lights up your sign and links with optimistic Jupiter and disciplined Saturn, giving you the go-ahead to let your feelings run free. Take this moment to be first to say “I love you” to someone important, or have a sit-down with a friend to talk out an issue; whatever it is, Saturn’s influence will help you address it with minimal drama.
om
you Bulls risk being sucked into someone else’s agenda. When amiable Venus runs into trouble with planets in your work, communication, and relationships zones May 11 through 19, you’ll be tempted to say yes to things you’re not sure you want (like a company-wide juice cleanse or a Facebook-official relationship). Resist! When Venus enters your sign on the 28th, you won’t feel so much pressure to accommodate. You do you, ya hear?

Get your daily forecast at glamour.com/horoscopes.
Happy birthday, Jessica Alba! (April 28) aGittarius, nov. 22–Dec. 21:
Repeat after us: “When one door shuts, another opens.” Hopeful Jupiter is set to harmonize with matter-of-fact Saturn in your endings house on May 24, helping you to walk away from whatever isn’t working in your life. Whether it’s a dead-end job, an ill-fated infatuation, or a stale friendship, consider moving on— thanks to Jupiter, you’ll trust that something (or someone!) better is coming along. aPricorn, Dec. 22–Jan. 19: Good news and bad news, Caps: On May 3 the sun in your joy sector connects with Pluto in your sign, putting you in a fantastic mood. So hold on to those positive vibes when Venus in your family angle and Mercury in your job zone harass Pluto on the 14th, throwing you into a rough patch with parents or coworkers. Try to re-create what made you feel so great earlier in the month and you’ll get out of this slump. quarius, Jan. 20–Feb. 18:
Pleasurable Venus visits your “short journeys” house May 2 through 28, encouraging you to escape your immediate surroundings—and with the sun in your family sector until the 20th, who better to join you than a sibling or cousin? Satisfy your wanderlust with a day trip to the beach (if geography allows), or go exploring in a cute neighboring town. A little adventure will go a long way.
p
isces, Feb. 19–Mar. 20: This
month you’re primed to hit two birds with one stone! The energetic sun and alert Mercury overlap in your domestic angle May 20 through 29, urging you to tackle some home improvement. Since the sun hooks up with lusty Mars on the 31st, why not focus on the bedroom? Install soft lighting, splurge on silky sheets, put up some sexy wallpaper (yes, it’s a thing). The magic will happen.
A
ries, Mar. 21–aPr. 19: See something you want? Take it! Be warned, though: Magnetic Venus in go-for-it Aries May 2 through 28 lends you an “I deserve this” perspective, so pile on the charm to avoid creating conflict. Try “I’d like more foreplay, please” and “Thank you for approving my vacation days!” Kill ’em with kindness this month, and you’ll be completely unstoppable.
