T’S NEVER BEEN BETTER to be a young, single woman in America. It used to be that this moment in life was a waiting stage—a time to bemoan lonely nights and bad dates—but now, as women have increasingly put off marriage to a later date (or never), taken over university graduating classes (57 percent of bachelor’s degrees are earned by women) and the voting block (we made up 53 percent of voters in the last presidential election), and taken control of our destinies, single women more and more are looking to their 20s and 30s as a time of self-exploration, travel, and a perfect time to take an unexpected career detour or adventure. Check out our Single Girl’s Guide to being a badass starting on p. 176. The spring runways were full of unexpected turns from my favorite designers. Graffiti prints from Céline, sporty looks from Gucci, and pastels from Armani. Proof that shaking things up is the best way to stay ahead. I am so thrilled that after 13 seasons of mentoring on Project Runway, Tim Gunn takes center stage on his own show, Under the Gunn, debuting on Lifetime this month. Our own Zanna Roberts Rassi takes a seat on the judging panel, along with Rachel Roy, celebrity stylist Jen Rade, and guest judge Georgina Chapman. For a sneak peek of the show, turn to p. 80, and cheers to the wise, wonderful, and irrepressible Tim Gunn!

Thank you for the fabulous cover. You really captured Julia Roberts as I think she is: a down-toearth, fashionable, hip, and modern woman. I think it’s great that Marie Claire decided to celebrate who she is and didn’t try to make her into something she is not. —Jackie Baes, New York City
@alicespig: @marieclaire Maximum respect to Melissa Menke, cofounder of Access Afya and the December “Genius!” The world needs more of her!!
NSIDE THE UTAH OLYMPIC OVAL , an indoor speedskating arena just outside Salt Lake City, a few dozen of America’s top speedskaters whip around a gleaming track, bent over at the waist, digging their blades into the ice for speed. Lap after lap, they are a blur of black, gray, red, white, and royal blue—the colors of current U.S. Speedskating Lycra uniforms. But one skater stands out in her weathered dark blue suit, a relic from the 2001 national team. The white USA letters running down Bridie Farrell’s right leg are cracked, the Nike logo on her knee is worn and peeling. At 31, Farrell is herself a relic. Though she has set American short-track records in the 3,000-meter relay, as well as the 1,500-mea 3,000-meter individuals—the last of which she still holds more than a decade ter and afte she set it—she has never competed at the Olympics, having failed at attempts after to qu qualify for spots on the 1998, 2002, and 2006 teams. After that last effort, she hung h skates for good—that is, until the fall of 2012, when she decided to give it one up her mor shot. (This time around, she’s switched to long track, competing on a 400-meter more oval versus a short track’s 111-meter oval.) As Farrell finishes a lap, hands on hips and heav heaving for breath, she glides across the ice to where the coaches are huddled and asks about her time. Thirty-four seconds—a dramatic improvement from just two weeks ago but still two seconds slower than most of the other women on the ice this day. “If I we were one of these other girls skating my lap times, I’d hang it up,” she tells me later. December 2013 M AR IEC L A IR E.C OM 213
Tarnished Rings “Skating for Justice,” about competitors and their abusive coaches in the Olympics, is a great article! I’m grateful to Jim Rendon for telling Bridie Farrell’s story of sexual abuse in speedskating and the truth behind a culture that sweeps these stories under the rug to protect the image of the sport. —Eva Rodansky, Ann Arbor, MI Bridie Farrell should be proud of her courage to speak up and raise awareness about an organization where justice isn’t being met. Olympic officials need to provide a safe place for athletes to voice concerns and not have it backfire on them. This backlash discourages women from reporting these incidents. Let’s just remember who the adult was in this situation: Andy Gabel. —Name withheld, Chicago
@platinumcounsel: What a fabulous way to inject #fun, #fearlessness, and #intellectualintrigue into my morning by perusing through @marieclaire #shesaboss. @pekniks: I thought “The Spies Who (Tried to) Love Me” was an interesting story. It really sets this magazine apart from the rest.
ON FACEBOOK
Sacha Gillespie: I love Lorde’s album. The hidden “talent” she shared in @Play, that she can go six weeks without washing her hair, is quirky and unpredictable, just like her breakout album. Sarah Haynes Russell: It would be wonderful to have something like Switzerland’s “sex boxes,” seen in “A New Kind of Sex Drive,” in the United States. I predict that the number of sexually transmitted disease cases and violent crimes involving prostitutes would drop.

MAKEUP ARTIST
Jo Strettell @jostrettell Strettell found a kindred spirit in actress turned cosmetics entrepreneur Drew Barrymore (“The Rebel Next Door,” p. 170). “Drew has so much passion for her line, Flower, that talking to her was like speaking to another makeup artist,” says the London native now living in L.A. Favorite artist: Mark Ryden. Favorite website: Violet Grey. PHOTOGRAPHER
Jan Welters
CONTRIBUTORS
Dutch native Welters—who recently relocated from Paris to Topanga Canyon, California— came face-to-face with our cover star to shoot “The Rebel Next Door.” “With the shots cropped so close, I wanted Drew to be fresh, vibrant, and lovely,” says Welters. “She was all those things. She radiated.” Currently reading: Hollywood by Charles Bukowski. Favorite work of art: The Americans by Robert Frank.

“Even if women ultimately want a partner, being single isn’t a temporary stop in life these days— it’s how we’re living,” says the Louisville, Kentucky, native who edited this month’s “Meet the New (Kick-Ass, In Control) Single Girl” (p. 176).

While shooting “Tokyo Calling” (p. 164), Takay’s aim was to strike harmony between Japan’s parallel identities as both an ultramodern mecca and a hub of traditional culture. “I thought merging the two spheres would be almost impossible, but the dynamic between the models and the geisha made it work,” says the New Yorker, who was born and raised in Osaka, Japan. Style icon: Theater director Yukio Ninagawa. Favorite blog: The Sartorialist.
Tokyo-based Kamo looked to a high-art muse when crafting the dark, dreamy looks for “Tokyo Calling.” “I was inspired by the photographs of late Japanese artist Shoji Ueda,” says the stylist, who has worked on campaigns for Chanel, Fendi, and Kenzo. Most frequently played song on your iPod: “Danzetsu” by Yosui Inoue. Favorite actress: Marlene Dietrich.

BEHIND THE COVER: BEAUTY
DREW BARRYMORE MAKEUP: Makeup artist Jo Strettell captured a strong, confident vibe with perfect skin, thickly applied mascara, and a classic pout. To get the look, she lined Barrymore’s lips, then brushed on a red hue, blotted, and reapplied to intensify the color. “Simple but striking,” Strettell says. HAIR: Hairstylist John D was going for an amped-up version of Barrymore’s naturally wavy texture. First, he worked in mousse for volume, dried her hair with a diffuser, and then bent pieces inward with a flatiron. NAIL S: Manicurist Debbie Leavitt came up with a custom nail design featuring Flower polishes. “Drew is open to new ideas, so we decided to mix things up a bit.” —Joy Hernon

“It takes extraordinary courage for sexually abused children to reach out for help and disclose their abuse,” says Paige AdamsGeller, founder and creative director of Paige Denim. “They deserve support, and we are dedicated to doing what we can to help.” To that end, Adams-Geller has created the limited-edition Edgemont jean in a gray “Gail” wash, with 100 percent of sale proceeds going toward The Rape Foundation’s Capital Campaign, which is raising funds to construct a new, larger building for Santa Monica–UCLA Medical Center’s Stuart House, which provides services for survivors. Designing denim for the cause (the wash is named after the center’s director, Gail Abarbanel) came easily to Adams-Geller, a victim of sexual assault herself and a member of the foundation’s advisory board. “As a rape survivor, I’m passionate about helping others gain the courage to speak up, because secrets make you sick,” she says. “When we share, we begin to heal.” —Jessica Minkoff Photograph by M ARK LIM Fashion editor: RAE BOXER 40 M A R IE C L AIR E .C OM February 2014

NINA’S NOTES: Morocco. Japan. Italy. Egypt. These are more than just exotic destinations that I would like to visit in the near future. They are some of the places where fashion designers found inspiration for their spring collections. The result was a season that triggered the excitement and anticipation you get when you touch down in a foreign country—there was so much to take in, from intricate tribal beading to Roman coin jewelry. You’ll feel like a jet-setter minus the jet lag. Tell me where you’re going next @NinaGarcia. February 2014 MARIE CLAIRE . CO M 49

ROYAL CRUSH
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, chains and nd medallions have been symbols of power reserved erved for aristocratic men. Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha urg-Gotha had his Golden Fleece, and France’s King Louis ouis XVIII wore an ornamental garter belt, or jarretière. e. Over time, regal women like Catherine the Great and Mary Tudor and, later, society blue bloods, rock stars, and downtown It girls took on the decadent style. It’s this interpretation that inspired Louis Vuitton’s Chain Attraction, a collection accented with precious gems like neon-blue tourmalines from Brazil, Welo opals from Ethiopia, and mandarin garnets from Burma. “Though drawing from the past, these pieces represent a modern and effortless way to wear fine jewelry,” says Lorenz Bäumer, the label’s artistic director of high jewelry. That’s one way to rock and rule. —Jessica Minkoff 62 M A R IE C L AIR E .C OM February 2014

Cherry blossoms in Abe’s Meguro neighborhood in Tokyo.
T H E R E A R E ON LY a select few fashion designers who can say they were handpicked by Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo to design for her protégé Junya Watanabe when he started his own line. Chitose Abe (pronounced CHEE-to-say AH-bay), a former CDG pattern-maker, is one of them. Born in Gifu, Japan, Abe is the mastermind behind the Tokyo-based label Sacai, which she started in 1999. Taking the time to build her business, Abe, now 48, waited 12 years before staging her first runway show, for spring 2012. “I wanted to make sure that even on a hanger, the clothes could be immediately identified as Sacai,” she says about her signature aesthetic of fusing two opposing ideas, like men’s shirting and flirty skirts. For spring 2014, she also showed Prince of Wales suiting cut into feminine separates. As in Abe’s previous collections, the looks had a threedimensional quality, also a Sacai hallmark. Of her clothes looking one way in the front and another way in the back, she explains: “When you walk down the street, people will see you from every angle.” In that regard, Abe’s got you covered. —Jessica Minkoff

COURT ORDER Q: I am about to graduate from law school and begin my career. I wear a lot of black skirt suits and dark blouses, but I’d like to add color to my wardrobe. What is the best way to do that without shocking my coworkers? —Parker, Boston
A: I have helped a lot of lawyers, and even those who have a more adventurous fashion sense acknowl-
edge tthat there are limits to what is acceptable in the workplace. Let’s start with the black suit—I accept it. However, it needs to conform to my style mantra: silhouette, proportion, and fit. The harmony of these elements is essential. Add color with a fun printed top, a vibrant scarf, a pocket square, or an enamel cuff. If you need a fashion muse, I suggest Nancy Pelosi.
LONG STORY
Tim Gunn, Project Runway mentor and fashion guru, solves your style conundrums
A: Frankly, I’d like to banish dresses for the very reason you are citing. However, the dress look can be achieved with separates, mitigating the proportion issue. I find most of the time that the placement of the waistband is a big problem for many women. Two exceptions are the shift, because it hangs straight from the shoulders, and the wrap dress, because the waist can be adjusted to fit your proportions. (God bless you, Diane von Furstenberg.) Given your longer torso, consider high-waisted skirts and pants: Both will give you the illusion of longer legs. Additionally, footwear should be the color of your leg if it’s bare.
IT’S SHOWTIME!

As host, Tim Gunn passes on his Project Runway mentor role to former Project Runway contestants Nick Verreos (season two), Mondo Guerra (season eight), and Anya AyoungChee (season nine) as they coach 15 up-and-coming designers on how to create and manage a successful fashion empire. 80 M A R IE C L AIR E .C OM February 2014

“On Under the Gunn, my part is a cosmic morphing of me [on Project Runway] and Heidi [Klum], but without the judging role.”
“This show takes the Project Runway brand to another level—one that is more challenging and progressive, with unexpected twists.”

F O R H I S L A B E L’ S S P R I NG 2014 advertising campaign, shoe designer Stuart Weitzman wanted to evoke the spirit of a beautiful girl vacationing in Saint-Tropez. Who better to step into this role than fashion icon Kate Moss? Following in the footsteps of Russian model Natalia Vodianova, Moss landed her third Mario Testino shoot with the designer, rocking bare legs and slickedback, just-out-of-the-water hair. She showed off highlights from the new collection, including her favorite Nudist stiletto sandal, which she describes as “chic, elegant, and sexy.” Weitzman calls his collaboration with the legendary Testino-Moss duo (“You don’t get one without the other,” he says) an act of fate because the English supe became available just as his partnership with Vodianova came to an end. However, he sees no better fit for the 28-year-old brand. “Kate and Natalia before her were selected because of a strong effort on our part to attract the youngthinking woman,” he says. “They have made our shoes look as beautiful as I hope they would on anyone’s legs.” —Jessica Minkoff

Here’s a dream gig for anyone still reeling from the holidays: Sarah Robb O’Hagan is president of upscale fitness chain Equinox, also the parent company of Blink and SoulCycle, where getting your heart racing is just another day at the office By SA RA H K E N N E DY Photograph by M E R E D I T H J E N K S
MARIE CLAIRE: Were you athletic
growing up? Yes! I’m from New Zealand, and in high school, field hockey, tennis, and swimming were my main sports, though I never made first team, which is like the varsity team. At the University of Auckland, I also did a lot of recreational skiing, water skiing, and sailing. I was not the most petite person in my class—I was 5'10" and self-conscious. I wish I’d had a better appreciation for what my body could do sportswise rather than focusing on how it looked. MC: How did you earn your first dollar? SRO: As a minibar attendant in a local hotel during the college holidays to help pay for my education. You know the person who goes around to all the rooms checking for what’s been used in the minibar? Who knew that was a job? I didn’t until I did it! It was good experience—I learned how important every employee is in an organization, top to bottom. MC: How did you end up in the athletics business? SRO: After university, I got an internship at Air New Zealand. I’d grown up on “Just do it” and dreamed of one day working for Nike. A couple of years after transferring to the United States SARAH ROBB O’HAGAN:

Interview
“Careers are more like jungle gyms than ladders— sometimes a sideways or backward step can propel you forward.” —SARAH ROBB O’HAGAN, president of Equinox
with ANZ, I heard of a job at Nike in Australia, so I applied. I was devastated when I didn’t get it. Five years later, I heard about a marketing director job at Nike, this time in Los Angeles. So I badgered their recruiters and got into the mix of candidates, though it took nine months to actually land the job. It was a smaller role than another offer I received at the same time, but I’d wanted to work at Nike for so long, I had to take the shot. In hindsight it was a risky decision, but boy, was it the right one. Careers are more like jungle gyms than ladders—sometimes a sideways or backward step can propel you forward. MC: After Nike, you served as president of Gatorade. What’s the most important lesson you learned there? SRO: The mantra at Gatorade was speed, speed, speed. They liked to react immediately, but then things got rushed and weren’t executed well. I’m impatient, according to my teams throughout the years. But I’ve learned that innovation takes time. It’s important to provide people with the space they need to create. At Equinox, I am focusing on doing it right rather than doing it fast. MC: You’ve been president of Equinox since September 2012. Do you feel pressure to look a certain way because of your career? SRO: No. I’ve worked out my whole life because it is my meditation—it’s important mental time for me. Before I joined Equinox, I had always been at the same weight, doing the same thing. When I arrived here, I really wanted to understand what we were prescribing to our gym members and the science behind it, so I’ve been using myself as an experiment. In the past year, I’ve
changed my workouts to include Pilates and fitness classes, along with my running. By including more variety and doing what the Equinox team recommends, there’s no doubt I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. MC: Anything you’re still working on? SRO: Improving my sleep—and I’m not alone. High-achieving gym members were coming to Equinox asking why they’d plateaued. We discovered most of them were getting by on only four to five hours of sleep a night. That’s not enough for optimal fitness. MC: What kinds of people do you like to hire? SRO: When a résumé comes in, we always Google the applicant. It just blows me away. We might have kids applying from the best schools with every qualification, but they’re not on Twitter, they’re not on Pinterest. Then we get a person without qualifications but who has 30,000 followers on Twitter. Clearly this person has identified something about leadership—he or she could be the one to lead our business forward. I’m also cautious of those who feel they have all the answers—by definition, this type of person is probably going to shut down new thinking. Curious people who ask meaningful questions make me think, Ah, I am going to get some really interesting thinking out of this person. MC: It’s said that participating in team sports builds better business leaders. Do you think that was true in your case? SRO: Our whole lives are improved by sports and fitness—and I’m not just talking about fitting into skinny jeans. Eighty percent of the top female executives from the Fortune 500 played sports in school, which illustrates the point: What happens on a field or in a gym translates elsewhere. Too many girls drop out of school sports. At Nike we had a saying: “The collective ‘we’ on the way to independent me.” Young women gain confidence from team sports. It’s about teamwork, leadership, goal-setting, and all it teaches you. MC: The most common New Year’s resolution is to exercise regularly. What’s your secret to sticking to it? SRO: I do a couple of events a year, such as a triathlon or half-marathon, to keep me in training. Last year I stupidly agreed to do one too many in the fall, including a Tough Mudder. So now I’m letting myself relax a bit.

RED SOUARE RENEGADES A new book details the plight of feminist punk group Pussy Riot, whose rebellious ways never wavered, even behind bars
By K AY LA WEBL EY
MC SURVEY
DID YOU CHANGE YOUR LAST NAME WHEN YOU GOT MARRIED, OR ARE YOU PLANNING TO IF AND WHEN YOU GET MARRIED?
O N FEBRUARY 2 1 , 2 01 2 , five women in brightly colored dresses, tights, and balaclava masks walked into a cathedral in Moscow to stage a “punk prayer,” calling on the Virgin Mary to free Russia from Vladimir Putin. The world now knows those masked women as Pussy Riot, the Russian feminist punk rock group. (Three of the women were later arrested, put on trial, and sentenced to prison for “hooliganism.”) Masha Gessen, a journalist who lived in Moscow for 20 years, had unprecedented access to the women—they even wrote her letters from jail— and charts their journey from budding punk activists to freedom fighters in her new book, Words Will Break Cement: The Passion of Pussy Riot (Riverhead). You’ve said the arrest of some members of Pussy Riot was pivotal. Why is that? MASHA GESSEN: The arrest was completely outside the scope and scale of the reactions we’d encountered in Russia. With few exceptions, we had not seen people going to prison for peaceful protests. Now there are about 70 political prisoners in Russia—a majority of them arrested after Pussy Riot. MARIE CLAIRE:

Female registered voters outnumber men, but new laws may restrict their power at the polls
MC: Let’s talk about Nadya Tolokonnikova,
24, whom you portray as the soul of the group. How was her time in the penal colony? MG: She was made to work extremely long hours and was incredibly sleep-deprived and underfed. She eventually went to the warden and demanded he bring prison conditions in line with the law. He threatened to have her killed. That’s when she decided to go public and to go on hunger strike. She became very, very ill. She was hospitalized. And then she disappeared for 26 days. At this point, the great g news is she’s she s alive. MC: What do you make of Putin’s am amnesty, which freedom to grants freed women who have small children, as the Pussy Riot membe members do? MG: MG G It It’ss transparently tran cyni cy cynical: nica ni cal: They may get a month two shaved off mo onth nt or tw sentences [they ttheir th heir sentenc were set to b be released in March] just so they can be out before the Olympics. Olympics On the th other hand, even one less day in a Russian prison is good news. MC: Let’s talk about you, too. Why did you leave Russia in December? I understand as a lesbian and as a parent, you no longer felt like you could live there. MG: In the past year, there has been a large number of very restrictive, very scary laws that have created not just a chilling effect but an atmosphere of absolute hopelessness for many Russians. One of the proposed laws would take custody away from any parent “who allows for nontraditional sexual relations.” That’s personal. It will affect a lot of people, but the sponsors of the bill have made it clear this one is for me. That’s when you have to admit defeat. If you’re going to go after my kids, I have to leave. You win.

LEGEND
IN RECENT YEARS, 34 states have passed laws requiring a voter to show identification before casting a ballot. Supporters of these laws say they crack down on voter fraud—which experts say is virtually nonexistent nationwide—while opponents of the mainly Republicansponsored laws say the measures are actually designed to make it harder for likely Democratic voters to make their voices heard. Minorities, the poor, and the young are the prime targets, but women are also disproportionately affected, as they tend to vote more Democratic

Kayla Williams during her sole tour in Iraq, December 2003.
Alerting residents in India before their water supply arrives
SHOWGIRLS: AMI BRAMME/AP. ALL OTHER IMAGES: COURTESY OF THE SUBJECT
HER INSPIRATION: More than 90 percent of cities in South Asia don’t have a continuous water supply. “Some areas receive water every two days, other places every five,” Sridharan says. Those who can’t afford automatic pumps and storage tanks are forced to sit at home and wait.
As women train for combat jobs previously off-limits, author and former soldier Kayla Williams details the fight for equality AS AN ARABIC linguist in the U.S. Army, Kayla Williams, 37, carried the same rifle as her male counterparts and encountered the same mortars and rocket fire. But she came home to a country still unaware of the issues facing female veterans—an experience she details in her new book, Plenty of Time When We Get Home (W. W. Norton). MARIE CLAIRE: What does the title refer to? KAYLA WILLIAMS: My now husband, Brian, and
HER BIG IDEA: Sridharan, 26, moved from California to India to run a for-profit startup called NextDrop. Her company gets utility companies to use water-tracking software, and then it transmits delivery information to NextDrop subscribers, who pay about 16 cents a month to receive a text an hour before their taps turn on. RESULTS: NextDrop has 15,000 subscribers in two cities, Hubli and Bangalore, and hopes to expand to serve the state of Karnataka, or some 61 million people, before the end of the year. “One woman came to us and said that NextDrop made her free,” Sridharan says. —Melissa Bykofsky
ON A MISSION I were in the same unit in Iraq. We couldn’t exactly date, but he said, “There’s plenty of time when we get home.” MC: How did you serve in combat even though that wasn’t allowed? KW: On paper there were no women in combat jobs, but that didn’t mean they never experienced combat. Any situation could end up being a combat situation—you could be in a convoy and get hit or on a base taking fire. We’re all soldiers first.
MC: How did you feel when the Department of Defense changed the rule, allowing women to serve in combat? KW: It was a validation of what I experienced and a clear acknowledgment of the honorable service of women. MC: How is the integration going? KW: It varies by branch of service. The Marine Corps lets women try infantry training—three women made history by passing the course—but they are not allowed to
serve in the infantry because those jobs are still closed to women. So it’s like, “Good for them! They did it!” But they get nothing out of it. MC: So despite the rule change, women are still treated unequally? KW: Yes. But we’re much closer. When we invaded Iraq, there were guys in the military who said, ‘I don’t think you should be here.’ And the policy supported that. Now that policy has been abolished. That’s tremendous progress. —K.W.

The on-the-rise British singer Foxes, 24, spills about her unusual name and upcoming album By SERGIO KLETNOY
MARIE CLAIRE: Explain how you got your name. FOXES: I’m Louisa Rose Allen, but I couldn’t be that because of Lily Allen. When I was young, I wrote this song called “Like Foxes Do.” I rang my mom and asked what she thought of the name, and she was like, “I had a dream last night where these foxes were running up the road making noises that reminded
me of your music.” My mom’s always right. MC: Tell us about your album, Glorious, out this spring. F: The title is the name of the last song that I wrote for the record, about not giving up, appreciating what’s around you. It’s really important to appreciate everything that’s great about the world. You can forget that. MC: Did you always know you wanted to be a singer? F: From age 6 to about 14, I must have said this prayer so many times. I’d get into bed and say: “Dear God, please give me the combined voices of Céline Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. Amen. Love you, bye!” MC: Do you remember the first song you ever sang? F: I didn’t sing it. I rapped it. It was Eminem’s “My Name Is.” I had a weird obsession.

SURVIVAL GUIDE THE RED-CARPET EDITION
How do celebrities always look so great during awards season—and how do they stay that way all night? We got pros to answer your big-nightout questions and share their star-tested secrets
LOIC VENANCE/GETTY IMAGES
Q:
CELEBRITIES GET FACIALS BEFORE BIG EVENTS AND THEIR SKIN LOOKS GREAT, BUT WHEN I GET ONE, I’M ALL RED AND BLOTCHY AND I BREAK OUT. WHY?
—Amanda Huston, 33, Holyoke, MA THE EXPERT: Kate Somerville, an aesthetician in Los Angeles, who works with Miley Cyrus and Kerry Washington
SHE SAYS: The reason people look beat-up after a facial is usually because it was too aggressive or because they had a reaction to the products used. Ask the aesthetician what she’s going to do before the treatment begins. If you’re prone to breakouts, have her skip the facial massage, which feels great but can stimulate oil production. If you don’t typically have acne but you break out after a facial, it may be because of the products. (Remember to let the aesthetician know if you’re allergic to any topical ingredients.) If your skin is
sensitive, avoid strong glycolic or salicylic acids and abrasive scrubs, all of which can make your face red or cause skin to peel. Finally, if she’s doing extractions, make sure she preps first by cleansing, exfoliating, and steaming to soften the surface layer. She should also use gentle pressure and disinfect the area afterward. (I use witch hazel and a bit of Neosporin ointment to kill any bacteria.) If you’re not certain of her technique, skip the extractions to be safe.
Q: Is it possible to get a Hollywood smile on a non-Hollywood budget? —Shelaine Springer, 22, Brooklyn, NY
THE EXPERT: Dr. Nancy Rosen, a New York City cosmetic dentist SHE SAYS: Bright, white teeth are the number one thing that people notice about a celebrity smile, and the easiest, least expensive way to get them is whitening strips with 10 percent hydrogen peroxide. You can also make a whitening paste with baking soda and water and brush with it. (To avoid enamel damage, don’t overdo it with either technique—once every six months for the strips or every few weeks for the baking soda is plenty.) The shape of the

life opens up with a whiter smile ©Procter & Gamble, Inc. 2014 ORAL-15995
Survival Guide artist Kristofer Buckle, who works with Jessica Chastain and Mariah Carey HE SAYS: The best way to get a naturallooking tan is to take it slow, using a gradual self-tanner, like Jergens Natural Glow, $10. Once you feel that you’re dark enough, skip using it for a day or two. Or if you notice that the color is building up unnaturally in certain areas, like your knees, stop applying it there. Honestly, though, when it comes to red carpets, what you’re seeing on celebrities is body makeup, not selftanner. If you’ve been out of the sun for a few months, a fair complexion will take on a blue tone, and olive or dark skin can have a gray cast. Applying a tinted body product instantly gives you a healthy golden tone, which looks more authentic than being full-on bronze. Spray Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, $14, on your hands, then massage it onto skin that’s going to be exposed. (This way you won’t get it all over the bathroom floor.) Let the product set for 10 minutes, then buff it lightly with a soft paper towel to take off any excess.
teeth is another reason celebrity smiles look so great. Teeth with smooth, softly rounded edges look more feminine— and you don’t always need expensive veneers to achieve the effect. It usually takes a dentist just a few minutes during your regular checkup to smooth jagged edges with a rotary tool that has a sandpaper disc. The procedure is called enameloplasty, and I usually don’t charge for doing it on a few teeth, but some dentists may add on a small fee.
Q: How do actresses get their lipstick to stay on for hours during awards shows? —Gabrielle Schorg, 20, Columbia, SC
GERARD JULIEN/GETTY IMAGES
THE EXPERT: New York City makeup artist Matin, who works with Claire Danes and Maggie Gyllenhaal HE SAYS: It pays to prep your lips properly and layer products. First, moisturize with a rich lip balm. I pack it on and leave it while my client is getting her hair done. At home, slather it on before you shower. The steam softens lips and helps the balm to penetrate. After 10 minutes, use a damp washcloth and gently buff off the balm. To prevent lipcolor from bleeding, I apply Laura Mercier Eye Canvas, $26—an oil-absorbing primer for the eyelids—along the outer border For information on where to buy, see Shopping Directory.
“Dirtier hair has more texture to hold a voluminous style.” of the lips and set it with powder. Next, apply a lip pencil that matches your lipstick. Use the side of the pencil to outline with light strokes, and then fill in lips. With a clean lip brush, blend the pencil into your lips. Now apply lipstick directly from the tube, avoiding the lipline so it stays sharp. (Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour, $24, and Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, $25, really last and don’t make lips feel like the Mojave Desert.) Use a lip brush to blend the color and perfect the edges.
Q: I want to look like I just got back from a midwinter weekend in the Caribbean. How do I get a faux tan that’s classy, not trashy? —Tashio Douglas, 26, Milwaukee
THE EXPERT: New York City makeup
Q: I love voluminous hair, but mine falls flat almost immediately. Why doesn’t that happen to celebrities? —Amanda Clarke, 25, New York City
THE EXPERT: New York City hairstylist Peter Butler, who works with Emma Stone and Kate Upton HE SAYS: It helps if your hair isn’t freshly washed. Dirtier second-day hair has more texture to help hold a voluminous style. Dampen your hair, then run a dollop of mousse (I use Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice, $46) through each section right before blowdrying it. When you’re blowdrying, use a brush to lift the hair and focus on creating volume at the roots—don’t worry about styling all the way to the ends. Once all your hair is dry, lift sections at the crown, spray Oribe Volumista, $38, near the roots, and blast them with warm air from the dryer as you hold the hair straight up. Give it a second to cool, then hit it with the heat again. This sets roots vertically to form a strong, long-lasting foundation. You can also lightly backbrush the hair at your crown, misting each section with L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Volume Hairspray, $15. Only after all of the volumizing is done should you worry about finishing the look by brushing the overall style into place.

FEELING THE NEED FOR SPEED (or at least the swift arrival of spring)? You’re not alone. At Opening Ceremony’s first-ever fashion show, the models arrived in sports cars and stalked a “racetrack” instead of a catwalk. “The sporty elements of the collection really came across in hair—it’s like gym hair, when you pull it back using a black band and tie it into a messy pony,” says Bumble and Bumble hairstylist Anthony Turner. Makeup is also zipping into the fast lane this season. The eyeliner at Ralph Rucci looked especially stripey, while Rag & Bone models paired varsity-style sweaters with lips as orange as the paint on Steve McQueen’s car in Le Mans. To get the look, try Stila’s new eyeliners, a tangerine lip (love Marc Jacobs and Bite), and why not use Sally Hansen’s pens to pinstripe your nails?

Based on this intel, I’ve developed a plan: I will go to Switzerdevel land, climb a mountain, find the flowers, flowe roll around in them, sniff h them, eat them, rub them all over my face and body, and never, ever get old. Dr. Daniel Stangl, the head of innovation for Swiss skincare company La Prairie, does not approve of my plan. When I meet him in the alpine village of Interlaken, he tells me that he and his team have been studying purple saxifrage for the past few years, and they’ve discovered a much more effective way to use it, in combination with a red snow algae and the alpine snowbell, another high-altitude flower. These plants, perhaps because they’ve evolved to survive in extreme environments, are all rich in protective polyphenols that make them great at fighting oxidation, a cause of skin aging. “We’re still studying the exact mechanism by which this complex of ingredients works, but it’s proven extremely
helpful in protecting against signs of sun damage, like spots and wrinkles,” he says. Turns out, the complex is also much easier for mere mortals to find than the flowers, as it’s the basis of La Prairie’s two newest products, the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream and Dry Oil. Since I’m already here, I figure the least I can do is lay eyes on the source of all this flower power. So I set off on a hiking path that leaves from the north end of town. The signs read Harder Kulm, which seems like German for Harder Climb. I hike up—and trust me, it’s not easy—but the route tops out at a measly 4,337 feet, where things seem far too hospitable. Birds chirp, fir trees sway in the breeze, and it’s all very Hills-AreAlive. I still need to gain another 10,000 feet in elevation. But how? Reader, I will take a helicopter. I will hire a handsome Swiss pilot, and we will fly off on a glorious, sunny day to visit majestic, snow-topped peaks where there will be acres and acres of purple flowers, all for me. Or not. When I arrive at the heliport, the sky is gray and overcast and my handsome pilot is mumbling something about a weather front. But we take off anyway, heading for the Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger peaks—purple saxifrage, here I come!—and a glacier nestled among them where we can land. We swoop past the famous north face of the Eiger, a treacherous climbing route, and just as the glacier comes into view, the helicopter starts to rumble and rock back and forth. The pilot fiddles with his controls and says it’s too windy to land. Fat snowflakes begin to stream toward the windshield and the helicopter drops alarmingly. A storm is moving in, so we have to retreat. As the helicopter turns around, I press my face to the window, scanning the barren landscape below for a hint of violet. No luck. If I want to experience the wonders of purple saxifrage, I guess I’ll have to do it like everyone else: by dipping into a jar.

SHORT CUTS TO
GREAT LENGTHS An unexpected “trim” sends Erin Flaherty searching for hair-growing miracles
142 M A R I E C L A IR E .C OM February 2014
Hey, the author’s cut could have been worse.
“You go in craving a change, blindly put your trust in a seductive stranger wielding a sharp weapon, and stumble out feeling maimed.” princess chic! The new ’do whispered soccer mom. I tried to rock it, but I just wanted it to freakin’ grow, and fast. There are options. Once the stuff of latenight infomercials and bald men, the hairgrowth industry has recently exploded. There are clinically lauded pills, scalpstimulating gadgets, and even good oldfashioned crazes: Some NYC and L.A. salons now host “lunar trims,” based on an ancient belief that hair cut during a full moon will grow back faster and stronger. (Um, dubious.) But at the end of the day, hair growth is complicated. While the average is about 6 inches per year, the active period of hair growth is cyclical throughout our lifetimes and can last anywhere from two to six years (!)—with transitional and resting stages of about a few weeks to 100 days in between—and varies based on factors from genetics to stress. Mental note: Stop skipping yoga class. It’s been two months since I was chopped, and my hair has grown almost 2 inches.
Here’s what worked: Most experts will tell you to get regular trims, but I personally think if you want longer hair, don’t cut it so much. This can get messy, but there are a multitude of new splitend menders to help you through. (Pantene’s, below, was a godsend.) And you know that conditioning mask you’ve always meant to try but is just sitting in your bathroom? Use it once a week. I also adopted a more forgiving wavy texture to help hide awkward layers—for straight-haired ladies, meet the curling iron. And once I conceded that throttling my stylist in a dark alley would do me no favors, I picked up some other tips: Invest in a good brush (like boar bristle), and comb through your scalp daily (like 10 passes; 100 is overkill). To avoid dryness and breakage, shampoo only when necessary. Take a biotin supplement—I took Viviscal twice a day—which helps nails grow faster, too. I’ve hit a not princess-y but not too conservative length. But ladies, I’ve got one more crucial tip for you: Next time you go to the salon, speak up and keep your eyes wide open.

HE SALON MIGHT as well have been a Turkish bazaar the way the stylist and I were haggling over how much of my waist-length mane to cut. He wanted to go chin, but I talked him into chest-length, only briefly pausing to consider why I had to argue with a paid professional at all. Still ambivalent, I shut my eyes for the first chop, and when I opened them, about 12 inches of strands lay limply at my feet. Where’s the patron saint of haircuts when you need her? We were barely skimming the collarbone here, and there was no going back. “It’s cool,” I tried to tell myself. And what did this strong, sophisticated woman (me) do after the blowout? She weakly thanked the man, left a generous tip, and walked out feeling like Samson. It happens: You go in craving a change, blindly put your trust in a seductive stranger wielding a sharp weapon, and stumble out feeling maimed. Maybe it’s for the same reasons we sometimes hesitate to speak up in the boardroom. The salon may be more intimate, but we’re still not immune to avoiding confrontation. Dashed dreams aside, a good hair day equals confidence; a bad one can deflate you. But this felt worse. We all have that one feature—toned legs, pretty eyes—we’re vain about: Hair was mine. Stylists stopped me at photo shoots to caress it; men did double takes on the street. I know, it’s just hair—but this unexpected loss was treading near identity-crisis territory. It didn’t help that I was in the midst of a big transition: selling the apartment I had gut renovated and moving into a rental. Change is good, but too much at once is overwhelming. I felt plain. My old look screamed boho-fairy-

found the porn section!” Drew Barrymore is shouting through the narrow aisles of Book Soup in West Hollywood. An older woman perched behind the counter narrows her eyes, watching while Barrymore longingly strokes the spines of several hardback books, none of which contain anything saucier than, well, sauce. “I looooove cookbooks,” Barrymore, 38, exclaims. “I cook a lot when I’m pregnant.” The actress-producerentrepreneur and, with her recent photography volume Find It in Everything, author has a 16-monthold daughter, Olive, with art consultant husband Will Kopelman and is due with their second daughter in March. “When I got pregnant the first time, I couldn’t even boil water.” By logging long hours on food channels and poring over recipes, she taught herself to cook. “Now I can make the most spectacular slow-roasted pork tacos you will ever have, an incredible verde sauce with ancho chilies—so fucking good.” Barrymore eagerly scrolls through her iPhone for her latest triumph: “A Greek yogurt pie with lemon zest and pepper filling on a gingersnap crust with black seedless grape compote,” plated on vintage china, a hand-embroidered napkin folded off to one side. “Amazing!” she beams. The same could be said of Barrymore’s transformation from the fast-and-loose genial wild child who trumpeted her bisexuality and flashed her breasts at David Letterman when he turned 48 (there are worse birthday gifts) into an organic-omelet-whisking, cabbage-rosegardening, modern-Martha wife and mother. Gone is the “love of love” that for decades magnetized her to dubious dudes (Tom Green, Fabrizio Moretti, Justin Long) and kept her in a sudsy romantic churn. Instead, a cozier, cultivated domesticity has her house-hunting 172 M A R I E C L A IR E .C OM February 2014
and school-screening in New York City to nest closer to her in-laws, Coco and Arie Kopelman, the former head of Chanel. This is New Barrymore, or, as her sister-in-law and writer Jill Kargman labels her, “Jew Barrymore.” “I try to be a good shiksa wife,” explains Barrymore. “I go to Central Synagogue in New York.” She also attempted to prepare a Passover Seder when she and her husband were courting. “It was a disaster. I screwed everything up. And I got the date wrong. I ended up taking him to a really awesome Seder at [Working Title president and producer] Liza Chasin’s house.” Casual friends for several years, Kopelman and Barrymore reconnected in January 2011. A year after their first date, they were engaged. Six months after that, they were married. “Sometimes whom you least expect is the person you fall for,” Kopelman, 36, says. “It was a combination of moments: watching her with my nephew. Traveling with her. Going to museums with her. I knew, adding them up, this was it.” He laughs when recalling her reaction to him not seeing key films in her oeuvre. “She was angry and surprised I hadn’t seen Grey Gardens or Ever After and immediately sat me down and had me watch them.” Kargman says Barrymore reminds her of their mother, who would pull exquisitely roasted lamb from the oven while wearing ballgowns: “That combination of glamour and homeyness is so Drew!” The familial comparison brings tears to Barrymore’s eyes. Over lunch at the decidedly old-fashioned joint The Musso & Frank Grill—a favorite of her grandfather John Barrymore, whose Hollywood star sits outside the entrance—she confesses, “I don’t know anybody in my family of origin. The other day someone asked me what my mother’s mother’s name was, and I was like, ‘No idea.’” In the dim light, Barrymore resembles her famous kin, with a gently sloping face and the bow lips of a 1930s screen gem. She says she feels of a different time, and though dressed in a white quilted “$19 Princess Leia–looking tunic from Topshop” and jeans, Barrymore rhapsodizes about pouring herself into a gown and teasing her hair into a giant beehive. “When I was a kid, everything was so unplanned, my parents were so erratic,” she says, “and my world was so inconsistent.” Her childhood was indeed the stuff of sad Hollywood legend. Drug addiction and rehab at 13. Suicide attempt at 14. Emancipation at 15. A Playboy cover at 19. Even by modern standards, Barrymore’s youth makes Miley’s look downright chaste. “I was 14 when I moved into my own apartment,” she recalls over spaghetti and meatballs. “I was so scared. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t know you had to throw food out when it rotted in the fridge. I was convinced someone was going to crawl through my window. I would go to the Laundromat and sit there reading Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath.” When it is suggested that living alone at such a vulnerable age seems extraordinarily tough, Barrymore smiles. “I was lucky,” she clarifies. “It wasn’t, ‘Boo-hoo, poor girl all by herself.’ It was, ‘Good for you, kid! You got out. Now make something of yourself!’” The kid took her own advice, somehow managing to overachieve while maintaining her sense of whimsy and goodwill. To date, she has appeared in 49 films; her next, the

stepfamily rom-com Blended (her third picture with Adam Sandler), comes out in May. She also started Flower Films in 1995, a production company whose movies have grossed more than a half-billion dollars and which she runs with cofounder Nancy Juvonen, who is married to Jimmy Fallon. “Drew was 19 when we started,” Juvonen marvels. “At the time, she was coming out the other end of her family stuff. We had literally no experience. Every day we were heading right into the ditch.” Nobody in Hollywood expected much—especially, says Juvonen, not from “that cutie Drew and her ‘bestie,’ even though I’d met her only once.” The two persevered, largely due to Barrymore’s chutzpah. “Drew is a little go-getter,” says Juvonen. “It was like, ‘Hey, we are two great chicks! Let’s dive in and swim!’” Last year, Barrymore took another leap of faith, launching the award-winning Flower, a line of more than 200 cosmetic products sold at Walmart. No mere celebrity figurehead, Barrymore helps develop the products, oversees marketing, and hosts naming parties with her girlfriends where they test lipsticks and drink wine. (Barrymore wine, naturally—she created a pinot grigio inspired by her trips to Italy.) “With films, I tried to please men and women,” she says, “and this is much more about the woman, which is nice. What’s gonna make her happy? What’s gonna give her a little giggle?” Barrymore has always been the consummate girl’s girl, the BFF we all wish we had—fun, funny, never competitive or petty, willing to act a fool and hand you the Kleenex box. “She is the opposite of a diva,” attests Kargman. “She is never ‘dicks over chicks.’” Juvonen agrees: “We became sisters.” This was by Barrymore’s design. Coming of age without a family, she chose to assemble one of her own. “I hated growing up alone. I hated it.” Barrymore has run with largely the same gang for 20 years. (Cameron Diaz is a recent addition.) Her loyalty is renowned. “I don’t fuck anyone over.” More to the point: “My friends are the loves of my life.” When asked if becoming a mother has shifted the decades-long volatile dynamic with her own, Jaid Barrymore, she drops her head and stares intently at her plate. “Ugh, I mean, my relationship with my mom is so complicated that . . .” she trails off, taking a sip of club soda, starts again. “I’ve always been empathetic toward my mom, and I was even more so when I had a kid and we had a really amazing conversation about it. However, it hasn’t enabled me to lessen the distance. It’s the hardest subject in my life. I’ve never just been angry with
“The sentiment is not that you can’t have it all, but that you can’t do it all. You don’t get to do everything all at once and all the time. Life doesn’t work that way.” 174 M A R IE C L AIR E .C OM February 2014
her. I’ve always felt guilt and empathy and utter sensitivity. But we can’t really be in each other’s lives at this point.” (Her father, John Drew Barrymore, died in 2004.) Marrying into the Kopelmans has been an eye-opener. “I didn’t think I would ever get to experience that. This is so safe and positive and healthy because they have their values intact. It was huge for me. And that’s what I want for my family.” She talks about hosting Saturday Night Live at age 7, the youngest host it’s ever had. (She also holds the record of most times—six—for a female host.) How she grew up completely exposed. About not wanting to make the same mistakes with her children. How that bond is paramount, as is their protection. Everything else could fall away, but as long as the family was safe and sound, all would be fine. “I’m so weary of the modern world. I’m not really of this era, so I’m struggling with that.” For example? “I don’t want to talk about sex anymore,” she says frankly. “I used to be so open. But now people are like, ‘Let’s explore our sexuality!’ And I’m like, ‘Let’s not!’ I’m such a prude these days.” It is odd in some ways to hear the once freewheeling Barrymore describe herself as “very old-fashioned and very traditional,” and yet, in other ways, it’s not. She has grown up. She has built an empire and found her center and has no need for seductive naïveté or people-pleasing. Instead, she craves “structure, consistency, privacy, plans— they’re crucial to me . . .” She starts to laugh. “God, I’m so boring now.” Not too long ago, Barrymore endured bitter backlash after saying she didn’t believe women could “have it all.” Never mind that she is plainly correct—that it is, in fact, the belief in the myth of excelling in every capacity that drives women to madness—Barrymore still felt shitty. But she did not back down. “I understand if someone might be like, ‘What fucking sexist crap are you pulling?’ or ‘What era are you talking about?’ But the sentiment is not that you can’t have it all, but that you can’t do it all. Maybe I shouldn’t say that nobody can. I know I can’t. It’s just not possible. You don’t get to do everything all at once and all the time. Life doesn’t work that way. I’m definitely going to be 5 to 10 pounds overweight. I’ll be thrilled if my husband is pleased with me that day, if my kid feels like she came first, and if I accomplished something at my job. Then I can hit the sack.” Later, around 10 p.m., Barrymore will be in bed with Kopelman, hugging her body pillow. Olive is sleeping, the dogs, Douglas and Lucy, have been walked, The Colbert Report is queued up on the DVR. The scene is both mundane and perfect, a deep celebration of what is there rather than a longing for what is not. This is Barrymore’s favorite time of day, when she feels most complete, when all that matters in her world rests in a tight circle and “there is nothing left to do.” Earlier, she walked over her grandfather’s star, blew a kiss into her hand, and patted the ground. Then she drove home to her husband and child, at long last knowing in her bones what family means.
CHOICE WORDS
On makeup: “I do my makeup in the rearview mirror most of the time.” On her Flower beauty line: “It gives me a lot of pleasure, and that in itself is the biggest luxury, that is the definition of success: Not hating what you do.” On family life: “My husband and I love spending a Sunday flea-ing. We take little adventures with Olive in the BabyBjörn. We were at a farmers’ market the other day, and I was like, ‘Ewww, we are a fucking cliché.’” On fashion: “I love clothes that make me feel good about myself, but I don’t contemplate my wardrobe in the morning. I’m actually mad that I have to get out of my sweatpants.” On working out: “My body is never going to be all that and a bag of chips. I will never be that woman who gets up at 5 a.m. to exercise. I’d rather curl up with my husband and my dogs.” On religion: “I thought about converting, but it takes a lot of work and time. I love the Jewish faith. I love the family values. I can get behind those.” On baby #3? “I think I’d like to have more. In the back of my head, I’m already timing if I was to have another when that would occur.” On David Sedaris: “He is my absolute favorite ever. If I saw him in person, I’d freeze and say nothing. And then I’d say too much. I’d be a crazy person. And probably vomit. And pee on myself. I’ve never downloaded a book, and I never will. If you want to buy a book, buy a fucking book.”

I
I spent most of my 20s as someone’s girlfriend, and on the cusp of 30, I found myself wanting to be alone. So I broke up with my boyfriend of four years—not that he was holding me back in any explicit way. But after several years as an editor at a stuffy political magazine, I was sick of Washington, D.C., and realized I was using my relationship as an excuse to stay stagnant. I wanted a big change, and that seemed impossible with another person in tow. So he moved out. For the first time since college, I was on my own. I took down the wall art I’d compromised on; I bought a record player (he had always been perfectly content with laptop iTunes) and an extra-fluffy comforter. My high school bestie, Josh, and I drove down the Pacific Northwest coastline, a vacation we’d fantasized about for years. “I want to be in an exclusive relationship with myself,” I told him as we sipped bourbon and watched the surf crash against the coast. We laughed, but I was serious. That proclamation turned out to be prophetic. I spent the next four years “deep single,” a term I coined to describe the fact that I didn’t go on more than a handful of dates with anyone and never came close to using the words my boyfriend. Those years were, hands down, the most professionally productive and fulfilling of my life. I made a name for myself with creative online projects. I quit my job in D.C., signed a lease in Texas, then accepted a job in Los Angeles and moved again a month later. With only me to stop me, I was unstoppable. And I reaped emotional rewards, too: Instead of one static social group my boyfriend and I had built together, I spent weekends bouncing between circles of friends. I bet researchers wouldn’t be surprised: “Studies show married people are less invested in their community,” says Liana Sayer, director of the Maryland Time Use Laboratory. “They tend to have a smaller social circle.” I also got used to spending a lot of quality time alone. Single women have twice as many leisure hours as partnered women, according to Sayer’s analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data—that’s time to play the cello or take woodworking classes. Consumer research says single people are more likely than marrieds to try new restaurants, take art classes, and volunteer. “Be-
ing single allows for further self-exploration,” says Jessica Carbino, a sociologist at UCLA, “making you more informed and self-aware.” Since you have fewer obligations to a partner and his life and career, you have “far more ability to explore your own interests,” Carbino says. Being single doesn’t just make you more independent: It makes you more interesting. That’s evident when I’m out with both married and single women. My married friends talk about playdates, in-law drama, and fertility issues, while the singles regale us with tales of toe-curling hookups, travel plans, a so-crazy-it-just-mightwork business idea. And that’s why it’s so excruciating to hear women talk about how desperate they are to be in a relationship—any relationship. A few months ago, I was at a small dinner party with three other single women. Around the third glass of wine, after conversations about an upcoming art exhibit and Kim and Kanye, someone complained about the lack of good men on OkCupid. Suddenly I was in the middle of a gloomy downward spiral about my companions’ withering ovaries. I kept quiet, refusing to participate in the depressing-date-story contest. Way too many women buy into the idea that in order to be fulfilled, they need their lives to look like the last third of a rom-com. But it’s not really true. Michigan State University research shows that married women are only happier for a short period of time after the wedding. Once the thrill wears off, they return to the level of happiness they reported before getting married. And while single ladies often feel like the last ones standing, half of U.S. adults—103 million— are unmarried. Being uncoupled is just, well, normal. “Even if you want to get married, the worst thing you can do is to think of your single state as time-marking,” says Stephanie Coontz, director of research at the Council on Contemporary Families. “You should enjoy this part of your life, not as a preparatory stage, but as something that is just fun in and of itself.” In other words, your “real life” doesn’t begin when you meet a partner. It’s happening right now. Besides, repeated studies have found that the more educated a woman is, the more likely she is to marry, and the older she marries, the less likely she’ll be to divorce—so statistically speaking, if you want to get married, you most likely will. And before you know it, car pools and nut allergies will become your dinner conversation staples. Then you’ll look back on your single years as one of the most adventurous times of your life, when you had no excuse to do anything but be yourself to the fullest.

CHRIS CRAYMER/TRUNK ARCHIVE
At A 24 I lived live in a beautiful Seattle apartment, had a prestigious marketing job job, regularly threw fancy parties, and always had a serious erious boyfrie boyfriend. But my social plans and constant relationships were fueled by a fear of being alone. That all changed when I was off. A close friend announced that she was heading to Costa laid off Rica for three mo months, and I decided to join her. Living with no social network an and without the distractions of the modern world opened my eyes: I actually didn’t need company to stimulate me after all. I had the w wild jungle and the crashing sea. So instead of beginning beg graduate school as I had planned, I decided to continue traveling—this time alone. Every time I squeezed onto a crowded bus alongside a the locals, figured out how to communicate with a few fore foreign phrases, or sampled strange foods, I felt li ally connecting conn like I was actually with the real world around me. Much to my surprise, this adventurous lifestyle actually suited me. Now, two years since my layoff, I’ve haggled in hectic souks in Morocco, raced motorbikes down dirt roads in Vietnam, swam with sharks in the Caribbean Sea, and sailed to undeveloped islands in Cambodia. Everything I own fits into one backpack, and I live on less than $30 a day. My life isn’t without sacrifice: I’m far from my family, and it’s hard to have a long-term relationship. But this path brings me the most joy, and I trust that by walking it, I will be a better daughter, friend, and, one day, partner.
HOW TO
BUILD YOUR OWN HOUSE
The famous sign that awaits Kili climbers.
Instead of just buying a home, at 24, Jessica Gilmore picked up a hammer
I was tired of throwing money away on rent after years of living with roommates in Seattle and here in Salt Lake L City. One winter I sublet a 200-squarefoot “tiny “tin house”—a kind of make-your-own mobile mini-ho mini-home gaining in popularity—and decided to build on one of my own. Since I studied architecture in college, I came up with a minimal, sleek design. Then I d drove to a two-day workshop in Portland, O regon, to learn specifics, like attaching the house Oregon, to a trai trailer. Other builders I met there estimated that my house would cost around $16,000; I took $8,000 that t I’d saved from my sales job and applied for a $7,000 $7, project loan from Home Depot. Next Next, I talked to construction companies about my project. They donated insulation, wood for the interior finish, and the siding materials. A local museum thought my project was cool and let me build on their lawn, so I always had help from passersby! Piece by piece, I did it, sometimes with assistance from friends and strangers: I built the walls, the roof, the drywall, the windows. I followed the diagrams in a book for the electricity and, miraculously, the lights worked! After 10 weeks of 12-hour days, I was done. A lot of women mistakenly think they need a man’s help before they can even buy a house, so it was really empowering to know I could build one myself. A full-size house is next! —As told to Sarah Miller WANT TO

Before Cheryl Strayed’s Wild launched countless trekking quests, Abby Ellin conquered her own peak
No one needs to trudge up a 19,341-foot mountain. But I wanted to both celebrate a big birthday and challenge myself physically and men mentally, so I decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. IIn n January nuary 2009, 20 I flew to Tanzania, where I linked up with my hiking group, g which included a couple, a father-son duo—and six so solo women. What is it about Kili tha that calls to the single woman? Maybe it’s because there are no rop ropes or pickaxes involved. Fitness-wise, it means walking four to eight ei hours a day for six days, largely uphill—not especially diffic difficult. But this doesn’t mean it’s painless. The landscape and ecosystems ecosyst change rapidly. One minute I was stripping down to a T-shirt; Tthe next, we were battling snow and wind. win And when you’re you’r up that high, the dizziness and nausea make you feel as if every breath might be your last. At midnight on the final night, I zipped up every piece of clothing I had. For the next eight hours, we plodded straight up. I stumbled every few feet, sometimes crawling on my knees, even throwing up. I didn’t know if I could do it. But when I saw that famous sign, I was grateful I hadn’t given up. I’d learned firsthand just how tough I really was. Best of all, I wasn’t proving anything to anyone but myself.

DRIVE CROSS-COUNTRY You don’t need a road-trip buddy: Sarah Tomlinson on the joy of hitting the road alone
My first solo road trip was impulsive: On an October Monday three years ago, while exorcising heartbreak in Los Angeles and anxiously awaiting news on a script I’d written, I decided to visit a music industry friend 2,000 miles away in Nashville, Tennessee. As I drove into Nevada, I saw one rainbow after another, six in total, which made up for the fact that I hadn’t noticed that I’d taken a wrong turn until I was nearly in Las Vegas (not on my itinerary—but I quickly righted myself ). When my agent called with good news about my script, he laughed when I WANT TO

told him where I was and said, “OK, Kerouac.” I was pumping gas at a roadside truck stop in Oklahoma City at the time. I felt elated—for the professional success but also because I realized that I’d liberated myself. By hitting the road and making my own choices—when to set off in the morning, what music to play on my iPod—instead of getting stuck in the emotional purgatory of waiting for fickle Hollywood and an ex who wasn’t going to call, I discovered a whole world ready to welcome me. Thanks to that trip, the distance it gave me from my everyday life, and the simple power of putting my foot on the gas, I no longer felt so defined by my defeats or victories: Instead, I felt free.

MEDITATE FOR A MONTH
I
Whitney Joiner found that looking inward is about strength, not self-indulgence
I set off for my first monthlong meditation retreat with little idea of what to expect. Even though I’d studied Shambhala Buddhism for five years and regular weekends of meditation were part of my Buddhist practice, two days is nothing compared with the endless parade of hours on an intensive retreat. I was ready to go deeper—my practice had changed my life for the better—but could I handle it for weeks at a time? What if some long-buried dark memory surfaced? What if I died of pure boredom? But sitting cross-legged for weeks wasn’t as mysterious as I had imagined: Most of those 45-minute intervals were spent noticing how utterly mundane my thought patterns were, often revolving around sexual reveries and long-dead arguments. At some point, something clicked—and I was able to just sit, without constantly managing my future or revising my past. Even with its celebrity proponents and scientific backing, meditation is still dismissed as a navel-gazing luxury. But committing to ostensibly doing nothing is one of the bravest things I’ve ever done: It’s taught me to sit with painful feelings instead of trying to outrace them. It might look like a passive activity, but it’s led to some hard-core inner strength.
WANT TO
MEDITATE? Sitting 101: Different traditions (Zen, insight, etc.) teach different techniques. Here’s mine: Sit in a chair or cross-legged on a cushion. Keep your eyes slightly open. Place your attention on your inhale and exhale.

Hoping for a drastic change, Sophie Schulte-Hillen relocated 4,000 miles away
After more than 15 years in New York City, I was five kinds of bored with the endless meetings and office politics of my copy editing job. I remembered how deliciously freaked out and wide-awake I was when I moved to the city at 17, and I wanted to reclaim that feeling at 32. I needed to buy some time to explore new locations, so I set aside almost a third of my paycheck every month: no more cable, new clothes, or other nonessentials like macchiatos, cab rides, and second martinis. In less than a year, I had over $20,000. I quit my job and boxed up and stored my onebedroom apartment. First stop: Tanzania, where I banged out freelance ad campaigns between Serengeti safaris. London and the Canary Islands followed. I house-sat or couch-surfed at friends’ places, traveling with one carry-on bag and paying for everything with my U.S. debit card, taking on just enough writing gigs to pay for flights and the occasional sublet. Within a year, I’d wiped out my savings and needed to settle down. I chose vibrant, sexy Berlin, finding a gorgeous one-bedroom online. Meanwhile, out of sheer necessity, I got over my natural shyness: I chatted up people at the Laundromat, started cooking soup at a café for free just to hang out with the regulars, and gleefully humiliated myself thanks to my rusty German. I struggled to make rent at first, but after a few months, I had tons of Berlin-inspired story ideas with which to start my freelance writing business. I still get homesick, but I never regret my choice: I’ve built a new life completely on my own terms.

Back in THE GAME
ACP/TRUNK ARCHIVE
An early marriage took Dina Nayeri off the romance market for all of her 20s. One divorce and 12 years later, she entered the dating scene—clueless
ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, in our sunny canalside apartment in Amsterdam, my ex-husband, Philip, and I shared a plate of Dutch cookies as he wrote an Internet dating profile for me. “This is just for practice,” he said, attaching a blurry photo of me wearing sunglasses. He included a lot of cheerful words about my personality—joyful, articulate, feisty—and insisted on an intelligent partner with a knowledge of the arts and my native Iran. He named my online persona after the main character in my new novel. Philip and I started dating when we were college sophomores. For a decade, we traveled the world, reading books in cafés and studying new languages. But as time passed, we grew to want different lives. He wanted roots: a finance career in Europe, kids who ski and dive. I wanted wings: a tattered suitcase and my smelly leather jacket, a body of literary work, a place among Iranians. The last days of our marriage felt like a series of dinners in which we told each other stories from two alien worlds, each smiling kindly. After we separated, Philip began to date, and since we remained friends, he worried that I would be lonely. A few days after posting that online profile, I got on the back of Philip’s scooter, and he drove me to my first date in 12 years. Please don’t make me do this, I thought as I buried my
Time to try again. February 2014 MARIE CLAIRE . CO M 191
“I learned that falling asleep next to a new person requires Ambien. That you will be judged by your morning music. That if you make breakfast, you are considered charming.” Next, I saw the drummer of an indie rock band. On our date, my first instinct was to tell him stories. I talked about girls’ school in post-revolutionary Iran and frying up noodles on a rice farm in Thailand. I seemed inviting, but I wasn’t really trying to make a connection. I wanted someone new to fall for me so I could say to Philip, “See? I did what you asked. You can stop worrying.” The 192 M A R IE C L AIR E .C OM February 2014
drummer didn’t stop calling for weeks. I never went out with him again. I played this game with dozens of men over several months. The guerrilla dating ended abruptly one night when I met a guy at a party in New York City, where I was in the process of moving. At dinner he said maybe seven interesting words while I put on a one-woman show. By midnight, I was exhausted. What the hell am I doing? I wondered when I got home. I don’t owe anyone this much work. I was starting to hate cocktail bars and the sound of my own voice. Dinner plans, like marriage vows, are no insurance policy against solitude.
S
O I STO P P E D dating. I had my friends. I had a few casual lovers. I wasn’t searching for an ego boost, a new relationship, or a way to prove to Philip that I’d moved on: I turned off the part of my heart that wanted something more. I just wanted to be selfish, to live and love in the present, and to rely on serendipity for the basics: sex, affection, some good conversation. I learned that to live in the moment, you need a concrete heart. I learned that falling asleep next to a new person requires Ambien. That you will be judged by your morning music. That if you make breakfast, you are considered charming. I learned the farce of communicating over text. When Philip and I first dated, we wrote each other love let-

ters. Love letters are bold. They require vulnerability. Texting a lover is about getting what you want while remaining essentially impenetrable, seeming not to care—this part felt strange to me. How does a grown woman who spends her professional life thinking about refining language and understanding human bonds respond to texts like these? “Hey, beautiful, I have a weird question about a girl.” “Dinaaaaa, you’re amazing. Let’s kick it.” Usually I went with an emoji of a sad baby chicken. After a few months, these relationships started to seem absurd and juvenile. I had a flesh-and-blood heart; I wanted to use it, not pour concrete over it. I wanted to care. Now I’m done trying to impress— with cool stories, with fake unassailability, with anything. Instead, I look to see if others impress me. I bring the flawed, vulnerable version of myself to every table. Sometimes that makes me feel exposed, with my lengthy musings and too much emotion. Maybe I’ll sound like I’ve been living in another universe, but so what? In a way, I have been. So I explain all of this to the men I date. I say: “My 20s were bizarre, and sometimes I’ll do and say crazy things. Especially when I get confusing texts.” The good ones reply, “I love that you said that.” I guess this is how you go from dating to actual relationships. Recently I started to see a guy with musical talent. Maybe I’ll order pad thai and ask him to play background guitar as I read. I bet he’d say yes.

face in his neck while we flew through the streets. I didn’t want to meet people. I liked the ones I already knew. Eventually, I thought, someone would knock on my door and say, “Hi. I’m your next boyfriend. I brought pad thai and a backpack full of obscure Middle East fiction. You sit there and read aloud while I play soft background guitar.” Philip dropped me off next to the restaurant where I was meeting an Italian graphic designer named Mauricio. As I got off the scooter, I felt impossibly alone, like I was walking a plank into open ocean. Philip put my face in both his hands and said, “Do you want me to take you in and deposit you at the table and shake his hand?” I said, “Yes, please.” He smiled and drove away. Mauricio seemed to be a self-entertainer: He told me about graphic design in Amsterdam and the best bars in Sicily. I wasn’t really listening. When he sensed that I was nervous, he ordered me a glass of white wine. He knew about my divorce from our online chats. “You’re just out of practice,” he said. “Soon you’ll realize you’re very pretty.” I could tell that he wouldn’t ask me out again. I hadn’t felt the sting of rejection in 12 years, and I decided that if dating was a game, then I was only in it for the ego boost of a sure win. Whether or not I liked the guy, I needed him to find me impressive.

THE TEXT WHISPERER
DATING EXPERT LODRO RINZLER DECODES THE CONFUSING (AND ALLTOO-REAL!) TEXTS MARIE CLAIRE READERS HAVE RECEIVED FROM DUDES HIM: SEEING LOTS OF LONG-LIMBED BESPECTACLED BEAUTIES. THINKING OF YOU.
LODRO’S LOWDOWN:
Aw, the modern romantic. So awkward, so clueless. He thinks he’s complimenting you but doesn’t realize that checking out other “beauties” might be off-putting. The primary message here is “thinking of you.” He’s actually pretty infatuated. Maybe he walked by a bar you went to together but thought that would be creepy to mention. Somehow he thought this was a nice gesture.
SUGGESTED RESPONSES:
I sort of want you to say, “Saw a balding man with soup on his shirt. Thinking of you,” but that’s cruel. If you don’t like this guy, don’t respond, or just say, “That’s sweet,” so you’re not feeding into that energy. If you do like him? A variation: “That’s so sweet. Thinking of you, too.”
HIM: WHAT U DOIN TONIGHT
YOU: GOT A DATE. U?
HIM: WANNA COME OVER AFTER?
LODRO’S LOWDOWN:
This guy wants to win. Initially, he was just feeling you out—too indifferent to even add a question mark. Now, merely by being unavailable, you have unwittingly become a major catch. But if he really couldn’t stand the thought of you with another man, he would’ve at least added a frowny face.
SUGGESTED RESPONSES: If you’re hung up on this guy, make him work: “We’ll see how the night goes. He’s pretty great—and knows how to court a lady.” If you don’t want to play: “I think it might be a late night. Talk to you later.” Want Lodro to analyze the perplexing texts guys send to you?

February 2014 MARIE CLAIRE . CO M 193
There’s something inside you that hasn’t had a chance to speak. When you’re the one walking away, he’s going to see you in a different light. I want you to imagine yourself as a powerful animal, like a lion roaring, and go for it. Nobody’s really rejecting you. Most rejection is just timing. Two weeks later, after following Siggy’s advice . . . ERIN: I texted my ex and asked if he could talk. He said, “Why? I’m busy.” Finally he called, and I told him how his decision not to move had hurt, even though I respected it. Then I brought up how awful it was to have him stop calling me when he’d been my main support system.
WITH
MC’s love adviser Siggy Flicker counsels Erin Eastburn, a fashion merchandiser hung up on an ex ERIN, 24: After college in Fort Collins, Colorado, I came to New York. My boyfriend at the time was my first serious love, but he didn’t want to move here, so we broke up.
SIGGY: If he would’ve said, “Please come back home,” you might have, but you would have resented him. ERIN: It was really hard because you Siggy and Erin Eastburn
want people to make sacrifices for you. And then he just stopped calling me.
THE
SIGGY: You’re devastated by this because you felt this deep emotional connection.
GETTING OVER HIM AND MOVING ON
ERIN: I’m definitely not over it. That
PROBLEM 194 M A R IE C L AIR E .C OM February 2014
was a year ago.
SIGGY: You have to get some closure with your ex. I want you to say to him, “I’m so hurt and disappointed.”
ERIN: Yes! Afterward, he sent a long text saying, “I had no idea I’d left you out on the ledge. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart, and I compare every woman to you.” I was so terrified to express these feelings, but afterward, I didn’t feel any stress about it. It was like there was nothing left holding me to him. And I didn’t write back. SIGGY: You didn’t respond? I love it! I’m so proud of you. Sometimes in life you have a loss, but it’s about starting fresh with a new deck of cards.
ERIN: It doesn’t feel like a loss anymore— it feels like I’m not attached to him. I feel powerful.

SOLUTION
SIGGY’S STEP-BY-STEP RX
1 2 3
Remember that what feels like personal rejection is often just bad timing— it’s not about you. Work out any unfinished business with an ex so you can move on. When you need extra strength, channel your favorite fierce animal. (OK, it sounds New Agey—but hey, it works.)
