From Me to You 

AmericanWomen: 

Who Are We, Anyway? 

Wait, I can answer that. We’re all unicorns. 

he question of what it means to be 

American seems particularly pointed 

right now. As a nation, we’re in the middle 

of cheering for our athletes at the 

Olympics. Electing a president. And 

grappling with painful issues of violence 

and justice. As we went to press, 

the country was having a bit of an identity 

crisis: What do we stand for, and 

what do we believe? 

All of which is part of the reason that, for the 

fall fashion issue, we decided to turn 50 pages 

of this magazine over to a celebration of American 

women—how we dress, yes, but also how we 

live and who we are today. Starting on page 234, 

you’ll meet 55 women and hear them define 

themselves in powerfully unique terms. 

Of course, there were a few common themes. 

Across political and cultural lines, our interviewees 

were connected by their love of: 

• Beyoncé. So many Beyoncé mentions! 

Beyism is possibly the one faith that binds us. 

• Pizza. National obsession. 

• Game of Thrones. (Maybe Jon Snow should 

run for president? Scratch that—Arya Stark. 

If only she hadn’t been born in Winterfell!) 

• Their mothers, who came up again and 

again as lodestars in our interviewees’ lives. 

That’s a new trend: Women used to sigh “I’m becoming 

my mother” as if it were a bad thing, but I never related 

to that, and find it heartwarming to hear women cop to 

not just loving but learning from the women who came 

before us. “My mother worked her socks off to provide 

for me and my family,” vlogger Jenn Im, 25, says. “That 

just kind of imprinted onto me, and these days I love 

being surrounded by powerful women.” 

But beyond those similarities, we’re beautifully diverse. 

In this issue you’ll meet farmers, and Instagram stars, and 

soldiers, and beauty queens, and a soldier who is a beauty 

queen. Some of these women are American by birth, others 

by choice—which makes sense, considering that we 

are, after all, a country almost entirely of immigrants; even 

The issue in 

progress: It was 

hard to narrow 

down our casting! 

The final list included 

everyone from an 

anti-ISIS counterterrorism 

expert to 

these astonishing 

dancers. 

Donald Trump’s mother, Mary, sailed here years ago, on the 

SS Transylvania from Glasgow. My own grandparents and 

great-grandparents came, variously, from Morocco, Lithuania, 

and a part of the Russian Empire called the Pale of 

Settlement (if you google its grim history, you’ll understand 

why they were so happy to come to this country and why, 

even in her nineties, my grandmother used to embarrass 

me endlessly by breaking into “America the Beautiful” at 

odd moments behind the wheel of her Oldsmobile). 

But I digress. More of the things that struck me about 

the women in this issue: 

They’re determined to be themselves. We used to be 

taught that we had to erase our differences in order 

to blend in with society—now we wear our identities 

LEIVE: KATIE FRIEDMAN 



From Me to You 

proudly, whether we’re single 

moms, military brats, Jews, 

atheists, Muslims, or Christians. 

Writer Imbolo Mbue 

(page 236) is “a proud American 

and a proud Cameroonian too,” 

she says. “That’s the great thing 

about being American—you can 

be an American and express as 

many identities as you wish.” 

They b e lieve i n th e i r own 

power. “Never underestimate 

your inf luence in the world,” 

says actress Amber Midthunder 

(page 288). “Everybody 

wants to make a difference— 

but a lot of people look around 

and think, Oh, but I can’t do 

that, I don’t have that influence. 

But you do—[think of] 

how many people you encounter 

every day!” 

They agree: This is our moment. And here’s what’s 

most exciting. Woman after woman said she felt that we 

are, as women, on the edge of something great—peeping 

over what Sarah Paulson (page 238) called a “precipice 

of change” in America. “I always remember when I was 

growing up, being told that there were things I couldn’t be 

because I was a girl,” says Ibtihaj Muhammad, a fencer for 

the U.S. Olympic team (page 289). “What I think is so awesome 

about living in this time and space now is that there 

are no limitations on what women can do.” 

As part of this issue, we asked each woman to write her 

own Wikipedia entry. Mine would tell you that I’m a writer, 

runner, mother, lover of clothes and of carbs, and that I 

agree with Muhammad: Women are gloriously diverse, 

and at a tipping point in this country. To quote Hamilton, 

what are the odds the gods 

would put us all in one spot? (My 

Wikipedia page would also tell 

you I quote Hamilton too much. 

Sorry. Come back next year; I’ll 

be better by then.)

Second-generation farmer, 

first-generation American: 

Rand Rasheed’s dad was a wheat 

farmer in Iraq; today she co-owns 

her own farm in Washington 

State. See page 250. 

I hope you enjoy the issue. Its 

message can be summed up in 

the words of singer Andra Day 

(page 248): “Don’t be afraid of 

who you’re meant to be.” 

You’re meant, of course, to be 

you. Have fun with that! It’s the 

American way.

issue—including Jillian Mercado,

The Month in Pictures 

Courage, 

Captured 

When I first saw this photo 

of Ieshia Evans, a peaceful 

protester in Baton Rouge, 

Louisiana, I knew instantly it would 

be iconic. All I could think about was 

what had to be going through her mind 

in that moment. She’s stoically standing 

there, unmoved by a policeman’s 

hand reaching for her body. Where did 

she find that kind of power? I like to 

think she was envisioning Rosa Parks, 

sitting in the front of the bus, 

knowing she’d get arrested, maybe 

brutalized—but confident her mission 

was bigger than her alone. Would I 

be courageous enough to do that? 

Initially, I wasn’t sure. But then I 

realized that Evans wasn’t alone. Our 

entire generation was standing with 

her, undivided, relentlessly dedicated 

to social justice. —Jenae Holloway, 

special projects manager

Fashion, 

Reinvented 

The recurring theme in fashion 

these days? Disruption. 

One day after the Valentino 

couture show, above left, news 

came that half of the label’s design 

duo, Maria Grazia Chiuri, was 

heading to Dior, making her the 

first female artistic director at the 

70-year-old house (game changing!). 

Then there’s Demna Gvasalia, 

the designer behind cult French 

label Vetements, who collaborated 

with brands both high and low, 

from Manolo Blahnik to Juicy 

Couture. The reappropriated track- 

suit, above right, might be the 

first time in Juicy’s 21-year history 

that the brand has been associated 

with Paris the city, not Paris the 

Hilton sister. Such fun to watch!

news director

Beauty, 

You rWay 

I’ve never met a cat eye I didn’t 

like. And when I saw the many 

iterations—in all their beautiful 

shapes, sizes, and styles— 

backstage at the Dior couture 

show in Paris, I fell even harder. 

What makes them so good? Makeup 

artist Peter Philips tailored the 

designs to suit each model’s eyes. 

In other words: No need to copy 

your friend’s cat or follow a tutorial. 

Grab a liquid liner (Philips used 

Diorshow Art Pen) and freestyle it!

severe abortion-access restrictions 

(meet the lawyer who won the case on page

including a story documenting the rise of 

“DIY” abortions.

Quick Q: 

At a Glamour x 

Facebook luncheon 

in Los Angeles, women 

from politics and 

Hollywood mingled to 

talk about the 2016 

election. So we asked… 

If you could 

write anyone 

in as a thirdparty 

candidate 

for president, 

whom would 

you choose? 

“Michelle Obama. She 

understands issues and 

cares about people.… She is 

just the total package for me.” 

—Sophia Bush, actor 

and activist 

“Mitch Daniels, president 

of Purdue University and 

former governor of Indiana. 

He’s shaking up academia 

and is a low-key, principled 

Republican—the anti-Trump.” 

—Kori Schake, research fellow 

at Stanford University’s 

Hoover Institution and GOPpolicy 

expert 

“Dwayne ‘the Rock’ 

Johnson. In an interview he 

said he may be interested 

in running for president. It’d 

be funny, but also not as 

crazy as some of the 

candidates in this election.” 

—Sarah Hyland, actor

i 

know this is our big 

fall fashion issue and 

it’s supposed to be all 

couture and fur-lined 

whatever, but what I’m seeing 

everywhere—and love—is 

patches (yep, the iron-on kind, 

on tops and bottoms and even 

bags). You don’t need to be 

Gucci’s Alessandro Michele 

or Rihanna to rock this trend 

(though both do); it’s the 

ultimate DIY move. I customized 

this Levi’s jacket myself 

with patches from Etsy and 

other sites. (The fight-thepatriarchy 

patch is from Lena 

Dunham’s collaboration with 

Rosehound Apparel.) Grab your 

iron and have fun! —Michelle 

Rose Sulcov, senior photo 

research editor 

It’s the one fashion trend we can all agree on!

Bow Down: It’s 

Bey Day 

Fifteen years after “Bootylicious,” I still work my jelly 

whenever Beyoncé and co.’s anthem comes on Spotify. So 

in honor of Queen Bey’s 35th b-day on September 4, I propose 

celebrating her go-to derrière- defining pose. From 

2002 (top, second from right) to this year’s Met Gala (top 

left), girl nails it every time. —Ashley Edwards Walker 

Drinks at the 

Gym? 

First I was offered a glass 

of rosé after a three-mile 

loop with Lululemon’s 

run club. Then I was 

handed a longneck after 

boxing at NYC’s Overthrow 

(obviously, I took 

it). Meanwhile, Denver’s 

Brewhouse Yoga pours 

pints, and L.A.’s Bar 

Method is the proud 

home of #winewednesdays. 

OK, booze won’t 

replace your electrolytes 

like Gatorade, but I’m 

still indulging. Fitness is 

supposed to be fun!

health editor 

BEYONCE, DRINK: GETTY IMAGES. FEMINIST FIGHT CLUB: TIM HOUT; STYLIST: JOHN OLSON FOR 

HALLEY RESOURCES. UNEDITED PATCH, CUSTOM MADE BY ERIKA DURAN, ETSY.COM/SHOP/ERADURA 


Welcome to Glamour Book Club! This 

month’s read: Feminist Fight Club, the hotly 

anticipated handbook for navigating workplace 

sexism by gender and culture writer 

Jessica Bennett. What you said: Most of 

the 30 women we sent the book to found it 

funny and fresh; “a sassy version” of Sheryl 

Sandberg’s Lean In, “a cleverly crafted field 

guide,” and “one of those books that every 

You 

Reviewed It! 

person, not just every woman, should read.” 

Dissenters complained that “instead of trying 

to ‘hack’ some of the situations described, 

the best solution might be to find a new job.” 

But as one wise woman wrote, “FFC reminds 

us that (a) we are not alone in our quest for 

equality, and (b) we cannot expect to be successful 

by trying to go it alone.” Sing it, sister! 

Grade: A- —Elisabeth Egan, books editor

I 

Introducingng 

“Dirty 

Rose” 

What comes to mind when you think of rose 

perfume? Grandma? Laura Ashley? Underwear-drawer 

sachets? I’m telling you, forget 

all that. The new rose blends are less stuffy 

and more like perfume’s equivalent of 

second-day hair—dirty, but in a good way. 

Here’s why: These perfumes mix rose not 

with classic fruit and powder notes but with 

unexpected, sensual ingredients like musk, 

oud, sea salt, and earthy patchouli. (My faves 

include Elizabeth and James’ Nirvana Rose 

and Molton Brown’s Rosa Absolute.) “Dirty 

rose” is suddenly unapologetically sexy, and 

the only way I’ll be wearing floral this fall. 

—Katheryn Erickson, beauty writer 

Nothing grosses me out 

more than bugs. But that was 

before I saw the scarab collection 

from fine jeweler Bibi 

van der Velden, based on the 

iridescent insects revered 

by ancient Egyptians. Other 

brands are making beetleinspired 

bling too (like this 

$25 Banana Republic pin), 

and now my worst nightmare 

actually looks…elegant.

When @glamourmag posted this photo of 

me wearing an Eloquii dress, I was excited 

to read the comments. I loved the bright, 

f louncy number for its curve-boosting 

factor, but I get that taste is personal. So 

I wasn’t at all offended when—an hour 

later—the dress had been deemed “ugly,” 

“terrible,” and “no bueno.” What did cause 

me sudden-onset anger? The number of 

women who called it “unflattering,” as in, 

“this is the most unflattering thing I’ve ever 

seen.” Here’s where I call bullshit: Unflattering 

is just a code word for “not slimming,” 

and shocking as it may seem, this size 12 

The 

Rant 

woman doesn’t choose clothes for the sole 

purpose of appearing elongated, slimmer, 

or sucked in. Curves are all well and good, 

these commenters seemed to be saying, as 

long as you wear Spanx and head-to-toe 

black and stay away from stripes (never 

mind stripes and ruffles). In other words, 

while we’re embracing women of all sizes 

as never before, we’ve yet to accept that successful 

dressing doesn’t mean minimizing 

our bodies. So know this: If you hate what 

I’m wearing, I can take it! But I like my curves, 

and I don’t want to “f latter” them away.

The 

That Broke the Internet 

A Bag Is 

Born 

I first saw this bag by Manu 

Atelier when Instagram’s 

Eva Chen showed it off in 

one of her famous #OOTD 

posts (top left). Suddenly, 

it was everywhere—so 

I called up Beste and Merve 

Manastir (left), the sisters 

who cofounded the brand in 

Istanbul. “Orders immediately 

doubled after Chen’s 

post,” says Merve. And just 

like that, it became the coolgirl 

bag of 2016. Look for 

their mailbox-shaped Pristine 

($575) on Net-a-Porter. 

—Noah Silverstein, 

associate fashion writer 

Blow-Dryer 

Name the last time a hair tool went viral. You probably 

bl 

can’t—unless it’s Dyson’s $399 Supersonic Hair Dryer 

(dyson.com), which has everyone freaking out, and not just 

because of the steep price (there’s also a hole in the middle!). 

But is it good? I got a loaner, and it blew my mind. Not only 

is it the most powerful dryer I’ve tried (shortest blowout 

ever), but it doesn’t make that deafening airplane sound that 

scares my cat! —Katheryn Erickson, beauty writer

What 

to See? 

Glamour entertainment editors 

Alison Ward Frank and 

Kate Branch screened fall’s biggest 

movies. Texts immediately 

followed. Their instant reviews: 

Snowden, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, was 

soooo good. You learn all the espionage stuff, but 

I couldn’t get enough of how Edward Snowden’s 

girlfriend, Lindsay Mills (a.k.a. Shailene Woodley), 

left everything behind to follow him to Russia. 

That’s love. —Alison 

Nick Jonas’ fans are 

going to be shocked 

when they see him in 

Goat. He’s riveting as 

a half- naked frat boy 

who hazes his own 

brother. Bonus: His 

arms definitely came 

to slay. —Kate 

Major 

Shade 

Trend alert: The lenses of these sunnies are printed with supercool 

motifs that are invisible to the wearer (from top: Fendi, Dior, and 

Tomas Maier). I’m obsessed! —Jaclyn Palermo, accessories associate 

Kate! Jonah Hill is 

fantastic in War Dogs! 

He and Miles Teller 

are morons negotiating 

a $300 million 

arms deal to supply 

the Afghan military. 

It’s fast-paced like 

The Wolf of Wall 

Street, without all the 

strippers. But still 

scary true. —Alison 

Just saw The Founder, the new McDonald’s 

movie. Michael Keaton kills it as 

Ray Kroc. The kitchen scenes are like 

an assembly line on steroids. Couldn’t 

take my eyes off. You’ll never look at the 

Golden Arches the same way again. 

OK, now I’m hungry. —Kate

Designer Brandon 

Maxwell on group 

texts with 

Gaga, revenge

on-fire career. 

By Jane Keltner

it’s the day of the CFDA Awards, 

the fashion Oscars. Brandon 

Maxwell is nominated for the 

Swarovski Award for Womenswear 

and—spoiler alert!—will go on to 

win, and his nerves are getting the best 

of him. “I’ve been sick about it,” he says, 

sitting on the terrace of a midtown Manhattan 

hotel room where he and his date, 

Naomi Campbell, are prepping for the 

big event. “I’ll probably go home and eat a 

cheeseburger after. I’m not a partier.” But 

don’t let the butterflies fool you. Maxwell, 

31, is one of the most in-demand people in 

fashion today. He’s Lady Gaga’s fashion 

director (and BFF), juggling styling gigs 

Ladies’ Man 

Maxwell, with friend 

Naomi Campbell in a 

dress from his fall 

collection. The two met 

when he was a stylist’s 

assistant. “I remember 

her smelling like heaven, 

and she was perfectly 

moisturized,” he says.

always comes first.

Center Stage It’s official! Maxwell is the 

new red-carpet darling, dressing Karlie 

Kloss, left, for the Met Gala (“I literally built 

the dress on her body,” he says), Lady Gaga, 

below, for the Academy Awards, and 

Doutzen Kroes for the Cannes Film Festival. 

JANE KELTNER DE VALLE: You launched 

your label only a year ago, and now you’re 

nominated for one of the most prestigious 

awards in fashion. Does it feel like a 

whirlwind? 

BRANDON MAXWELL: My life was in such a 

different place a year ago, personally and 

professionally. I can’t believe I’m here right 

now. I’m wearing a tuxedo, which I’ve done 

only once. I don’t usually wear things without 

stretch. 

JKDV: Ha! For what other occasion did you 

wear a tux? 

BM: Actually, with Iman to Glamour’s 

Women of the Year Awards. Growing up, 

I had to wear a suit to school, so I’m allergic 

now. 

JKDV: But your designs are the opposite of 

your personal style. So much of American 

fashion has a sporty feel; what you’re doing 

has a more “dressed” attitude. 

BM: My job is to make women feel beautiful—no 

one cares what I look like. 

Speaking honestly, I think that sometimes 

that confident, sexy look comes from my 

not feeling that way. I’m designing for the 

woman I would want to be. 

JKDV: You’ve dressed women of all ages, 

which is nice. Many designers seem to only 

care about the ingenue. 

BM: The first thing we said when we 

started was that I wanted to be able to 

dress the daughter all the way to the 

grandmother. There are things that are 

higher around the neck because my mom’s 

sensitive about her neck. Also, I grew up in 

East Texas. I didn’t grow up in an all-white 

neighborhood. I don’t want to be a brand 

that’s like, “You’re not at our table.” You 

are. I want women to feel their best. 

JKDV: That’s an empowering message. 

BM: It’s a woman-centered brand. All the 

women in my life see the collection every 

day. There’s a group text with my girlfriends, 

and I ask them, “Would you wear 

it?” Your childhood friends aren’t afraid to 

say, “No, that’s hideous.” Sometimes when 

you’re working until two in the morning, 

you think you have an amazing idea, and 

you come back at 8:00 A.M. and you’re 

like, “That’s the worst idea I’ve had in my 

life.” So it’s important to share. 

JKDV: Who’s on the group text? 

BM: My best friend from home, Gabriella, 

my sister, my mom, Gaga, and my 

friends Jaime, Michelle, and Bo. My 

mom texts me every day. I’m from an 

Italian family, so I kind of have to do 

what my mom says. 

JKDV: How would you describe your 

clothes? 

BM: I make simple things that are tailored. 

It’s the perfect black pant or the perfect 

blazer. We do only six or seven gowns, and 

they’re usually black. I don’t do a lot of pageantry. 

I never want my clothes to outshine 

the woman. 

JKDV: What’s been a career highlight? 

BM: They’re all highlights. The first time 

someone wore something was Gaga at 

the Emmys. She always makes me feel 

like it is the only and best option, even 

when she has hundreds of options. And 

obviously Gaga at the Oscars was a 

dream come true. She’s my biggest fan, 

and so much of what I have is because of 

her and her selflessness. 

JKDV: Your color palette is pretty much 

void of color. Why? 

BM: I was in a really dark place before my 

first show. The collection was black and 

white, because I felt black and white. 

Instead of going to a therapist, I turned up 

the music and created with my hands. But 

I’m in love now, and my personal life feels 

very colorful at the moment. 

JKDV: So are we going to see more color, 

going forward? 

BM: You might. But you know me, I think 

black is a color. 

JKDV: What women inspire you? 

BM: My friends. Jackie O. Princess Diana. 

When I get stuck, I’m like, “Would Princess 

Diana wear this?” I’ve always been 

inspired by women who hold their head up 

high. Nobody thinks, Poor Jackie O. She 

was cheated on and everything was awful 

for her. Because Jackie O didn’t cry in public. 

She put on a major outfit. She walked 

out the door, and she was strong. 

JKDV: And the clothes helped her do that. 

BM: One thousand percent, and that 

strength and grace are what I’m attracted 

to. We all have days when we just can’t get 

out of bed, but we have to. I think about 

that when I’m designing. I’m like, “What 

dress is she going to put on that [the man 

who wronged her] sees it in a picture and 

realizes what a mistake he made?” There 

is nothing better than that. Everybody 

wants that moment.

Fashion / Jane’s Style Diary 

Five Things I Learned in 

Rio 

No, not at the Olympics—at the fashion 

Olympics. Glamour’s Jane Keltner de 

Valle reflects on the Louis 

Vuitton show 

that changed her style thinking. 

1 

That the beach can 

meet the street 

Athleisure is nothing new to 

Cariocas (as Rio locals call 

themselves), who have been mixing 

beach and sport clothes with 

city-chic pieces for years. “I love 

that idea of sporty and sophisticated,” 

Nicolas Ghesquière, 

Louis Vuitton artistic director 

of women’s collections, told me 

after his show at the Niterói 

Contemporary Art Museum, 

below, a space-age building 

designed by Brazilian architect 

Oscar Niemeyer. 

2jolt. Not only does color say, “Hi, I’m here!” 

but it brightens your face and mood. 


That color is everything 

As a native New Yorker, I tend toward hues 

like black and navy, but the saturated, surfinspired 

shades at Louis Vuitton, right, and 

on the beaches of Ipanema (that’s me, above, 

sipping coconut water) had me pining for a

That we all need a little 

Brazilian swing 

Brazil and bombshells practically 

go hand in hand. Gisele! 

Isabeli! Alessandra! I caught up 

with the latter, left, for a Caipirinha 

(it is the national cocktail) 

and got the lowdown on their 

sexy swagger. “We call it Brazilian 

swing,” Ambrosio told me. 

“We’re always dancing.” She 

instructed me to watch Rio— 

yep, the animated children’s 

film. “When the music comes 

on, feel the drums, feel the beat.” 

That we should go bold, not go home 

Staging a show in a country grappling with a Zika epidemic and 

political upheaval is a gutsy move. (I got my doctor’s clearance 

and a lifetime supply of mosquito spray before going.) So what’s 

the message from Ghesquière in all this? “We’re one of the biggest 

brands in the world,” he says. “I think it’s good to say we are 

not scared and we’re able to travel with our ideas.” 

5 

That fashion can be 

architectural 

Some of his colors may have been 

beach inspired (see the surfboard 

at left), but Ghesquière took cues 

from the city’s iconic landmarks 

to create tops and dresses featuring 

daring cutaways, above right. 

The architecture sparked me to 

break out a sculptural off-theshoulder 

top and slit skirt, right. 

Yes, I’m wearing black, but when 

the back drop is Santiago Calatrava’s 

Museum of Tomorrow, with a 

mammoth skeletal awning over a 

pool of water, you can be excused. 


KELTNER DE VALLE, AMBROSIO: DEMIAN JACOB. ALL OTHERS: JANE KELTNER DE VALLE

Fashion / Master Class 

You Deserve a Bra That Fits! 

Amiright? Writer Hayley Phelan gets your exact how-to. 

1. First, Find Your Real Size 

2. Go Forth and Browse 

I’ve never felt comfortable in my bras (my go-to one, above, is 

highly unsupportive). So when I meet lingerie expert Jenny 

Altman at an Aerie store in New York City, and she tells me I’m a 

30C, not the 34B I thought I was, I have a cup identity crisis. 

To find your correct size, visit a department or lingerie store in 

person; many have fitters on site. Or download the ThirdLove 

app, which sizes you virtually. 

3. Try It On Right 

Above, Altman adjusts the straps so they are even and taut, 

something I never do. And news flash: It’s the band around 

the bottom, not the straps, that provides the support. 

Altman says it should run parallel to the floor and be tight 

enough to fit only one finger under it. 

Finding the right bra involves trial and error. “Fitting is different 

with every brand,” says Altman. The first bra I try fits 

perfectly, but the underwire digs into the center of my chest. 

Another, a demi-cup, is more comfortable but gapes at the top. 

The ones that fit me best: balconettes, plunges, and bralettes. 

Altman says pay attention not only to size but to shape, style, and 

even seams. If your cup size fluctuates, four-part bras offer flexibility 

(the pieces are sewn together and each seam does a different 

job). For full coverage, choose a molded bra. Padded bras can 

disguise uneven breasts; just take out one pad, and voilà! 

4. Do the Scoop 

5. Test Out a Ton 6. The Winner! 

This move is Altman’s number-one tip: Bend forward 

at the waist, reach through your bra, and scoop all your breast 

tissue and the fleshy bits behind it forward. Not only 

do I fill my cups like never before, but the slight bulges 

at my sides and back are smoothed out. 

You know that feeling when everything falls into place? That 

was this bra for me—literally and figuratively. I felt comfortable, 

supported, and a little giddy. Plus, it passed the clothing 

test: It’s smooth and seamless under shirts. “Isn’t this so much 

better?” asks Altman, a.k.a. my new fairy bra-mother. It is!

COLOR LAWS 

“I love mixing a 

hot hue with a 

soft one in the 

same shade,” 

says Lyons. 

This is her 

mood board! 

STYLE SMARTS 

Lyons works a 

monochromatic 

look on the streets 

of New York. 

Hey, 

Jenna! 

Fashion heaven: J.Crew president and creative 

director Jenna Lyons joins the Glamour squad as our 

special guest editor. Also, she knows everything. 

Q 

I love the idea of mixing patterns, 

but I don’t know how. 

Any pointers? —Jayme, 25, San 

Francisco 

A 

Every time I wear pattern 

on pattern, I get that halfcocked 

look, like, Oh, you can wear 

that together! So I have a few policies 

for pulling it off. First, start 

with the same color tone, like navy 

stripes with navy polka dots. You 

can take it up a notch by adding one 

print that has multiple colors; this 

definitely requires some chutzpah. 

Or just go for it by mixing a green 

animal print with a pink one— 

same print but different colors. I’m 

fully wearing mismatched pajamainspired 

pants and tops this fall. 

My underline to all of this is that 

there are three prints you can wear 

with anything: a navy-and-white 

stripe, leopard, and camo. As far 

as I’m concerned, they’re neutrals. 

Q 

How can I wear a monochrome 

look in a fresh way? 

—Sarah, 24, Park City, Utah 

A 

The most important thing is 

the mix of textures. It’s very 

similar to decorating a house: 

If you have a plush velvet couch, 

INSTANT 

LOOK-CHANGER 

J.Crew 

earrings ($68, 

jcrew.com) 

don’t put a velvet pillow on it. Add 

something totally different that 

complements it. So if you’re wearing 

blue flannel, maybe your shoes 

are a blue satin or patent—something 

a bit shinier. 

I do think that if you’re doing 

monochrome gray, it’s absolutely 

beautiful to do a red lip. But if you’re 

wearing a red lip, please, please, 

please, don’t wear a smoky eye! 

Q 

What are the easiest ways 

to transform a look for fall? 

—Erica, 47, Philadelphia 

A 

Hello, accessories! Right 

now I’m having a big earring 

moment, and the bigger and more 

sparkly and crazy, the better. That’s 

such an easy look-changer: I can 

wear something with my hair down 

and casual during the day, then up 

with earrings at night, and it looks 

so different. Also, if I’m wearing 

long chinos or cargos with flats at 

the office, I’ll roll up my pants, put 

on ankle-strap shoes, and change 

into a crisp white shirt unbuttoned 

low. All of a sudden I look dressed 

up. I love that I don’t have to change 

everything, because who has time to 

change everything?

Fashion / Style Your Size 

Glamour’s 

Lauren Chan 

“I can’t find 

shoes my size!” 

Are you a 12? A 5? Extra 

wide or super narrow? 

We’ve got you covered. 


We’re two minutes into pedicures at 

Tenoverten in New York City when my 

guest Kilee Hughes looks at her feet and 

says, “I come from a line of giants.” I was 

treating Hughes, founder of her own public 

relations agency, Six One, to a soak and 

polish after hearing through the grapevine 

that she wears an above- average shoe size. 

“My mother wears a 14, my sister a 13, and 

I’m a 12—it’s an ongoing fight to find shoes 

that don’t make my feet look like skis,” 

she says, glancing down at the water. “Or 

boats!” It’s not just size 12–plus shoppers 

like Hughes who struggle to find stylish 

shoes; women with wide, narrow, and size 

5 or smaller feet have similar issues. Belong 

to one of those categories? Here’s help. 

If You’re a Size 12 or Larger 

It’s time to start shopping online. 

Nordstrom.com has an entire extended 

sizing section; zappos.com allows shoppers 

to filter results by size; and shopstyle 

.com scans the whole Web. “I shop online 

almost exclusively,” says Hughes. “That 

way I don’t have to walk into a store, ask 

what the biggest size they carry is, and get 

disappointed when nothing fits.” When 

she does shop IRL, she makes friends 

with sales associates who can call when 

new deliveries arrive, since stores order 

only a few 12s and they sell fast. “Being 

nice goes a long way,” she says. “If you 

don’t ask, you don’t get.” 

Stretching your shoes is also an option, 

but make note of these rules: 

• A cobbler can give you a half size with 

a professional machine. But if you’re 

doing it at home, opt for wooden 

stretchers (like Easy Comforts Cedar 

Deluxe Shoe Stretcher at amazon.com) 

instead of plastic ones. 

• Spray insides of shoes with a stretching 

solution (like Leather Spa Shoe Stretch 

spray at leatherspa.com) first. 

• Know that suede and leather stretch 

easily; satin and patent leather stretch 

very little, if at all. 

• Flat shoes are easier to stretch than 

heels, but you can have a cobbler make 

pumps into peep-toes or mules for 

breathing room. 

• After your shoe is stretched, place silica 

gel packs inside after each wear to 

avoid any shrinkage from perspiration 

or precipitation. 

The best brands for you: Stuart Weitzman, 

Sam Edelman, Nine West, Vince 

Camuto, Via Spiga, Dolce Vita, J.Crew 

(see a pair on the next page), Tory Burch, 

Kenneth Cole New York, Michael Michael 

Kors, and Shoes of Prey, a line that lets 

you design shoes in sizes 3 to 13 online. 

Designers Jimmy Choo and Aquazzura 

offer European size 42, which cuts a bit 

smaller than an American 12. 

If You’re a Size 5 or Smaller 

Padding is your friend—and there’s more 

than just the Dr. Scholl’s you’ve tried. At a 

drugstore you can find full insoles that 

make the whole shoe tighter; half pads for 

the ball of the foot, to push you back; heel 

strips to make the back of the shoe smaller; 

and toe-box inserts that keep feet from 

sliding forward. A cobbler can sew in 

l onger-lasting versions made of 4mm 

foam, which compresses and offers maximum 

comfort, and 2mm cork, which keeps 

its shape and lasts longest. Insert both and 

you’ll make the shoe a half size smaller. 

As for shopping, “I’ve learned all the 

tricks,” says Glamour accessories associate 

Jaclyn Palermo, who wears a 5. “I can’t 

walk into an office full of fashion editors 

with shoes that don’t fit!” Her best intel: 

“Boutiques don’t always have small sizes, 

so your best bet is big retailers. And if I’m 

shopping at a designer store like Dior, I ask 

the sales associate to search for 5s globally. 

They can often find them in markets like 

China, where the average size is smaller.”

from size 2 to 5. European 34s (slightly 

smaller than a U.S. 4) are available from a 

number of designers, including Gianvito 

Rossi and Gucci. 

If You Have Wide Feet 

The simplest solution is to size up—the 

extra length accommodates some width. 

Otherwise, it’s all about that stretch! 

Use two-way stretchers for width, instep 

stretchers to lift the part of the shoe that 

sits on the top of the foot, or toe stretchers 

to make room in the toe box. 

“Unfortunately, there’s no oasis of 

fashionable wide shoes,” says blogger 

Chastity Garner Valentine, who wears an 

11 wide. “You have to get creative.” Years 

of blogging have taught her some unusual 

tactics: “For a last-minute stretch, I put on 

thick socks with the shoes and blow-dry 

them. Overnight, I put water in a ziplock 

bag and place that in the shoe, which then 

goes in the freezer.” You can also tweak 

the design of tricky-to-wear shoes. “I cut 

Mary Jane straps off,” she says. “And if 

boots are too small in the leg, try the Boot 

Band, an extension you zip into the boot 

to widen the calf area up to eight inches.”

also, Sam Edelman, Vince Camuto, Nine 

West, ASOS, Badgley Mischka, and Salvatore 

Ferragamo, as well as sneaker 

brands Nike and New Balance, which 

offer wide widths. 

If You Have Narrow Feet 

Did you know shoes can shrink? A cobbler 

can submerge the shoe in stretching solution, 

heat it, and dry it to bring it down a 

half size. For a more targeted fit, he or she 

can sew a small elastic band into the heel 

of the shoe for a pinching effect; add Mary 

Jane or ankle straps; or shorten existing 

straps to hug the foot. 

“Having a narrow foot is not ideal, 

since standard-width shoes slip right off,” 

says Sacha Brown, senior manager of professional 

development for the Council of 

Fashion Designers of America, who wears 

a 7 narrow. “Whenever I run across a New 

York City street in stilettos to hail a cab, 

I risk losing a shoe midstride!” Her fix? 

Padding. “I have a drawer full of insoles,” 

she says. “Ones that sit at the toe push the 

foot back and make it feel more stable and 

secure. Target sells a line called Fab Feet, 

which comes in various colors to camouflage 

with different shoes.”

size matters!

messy hair, glowing skin, and a serious lip). 

The fall trend: “So many shows had very 

big lip statements—Prada, Gucci, Marni,” 

Violette says. “I wanted to do something in 

between bright red and dark plum.” 

How to do it: Grab two matte liquid lipsticks—a 

bright red and a deep cherry or 

black (yes, you read that correctly!). Exfoliate 

lips first. Apply lip balm and let it soak 

in while you’re doing your makeup, then 

lightly buff it off with a damp washcloth. 

Now use a red liner to outline your lips. “If 

you take the time to shape your lips, it’ll take 

only two seconds to do your lipstick,” says 

Violette. Next, apply your darker lipstick 

on the outer corners of your lips, bringing 

a small amount onto the center of the bottom 

lip. And while that’s still tacky, use the 

red liquid lipstick on top, coating your whole 

mouth—the layering process will mix black 

and red for a cool ombré. Finish with a little 

extra red on top: “I put a touch at the center 

so it’s really bright,” says Violette.

The pro: Mara Roszak (@mararoszak), 

above right, is the hairstylist behind the amazing 

cuts of Emma Stone, Zoë Saldana, and Lily Collins. 

She also just opened her first salon, Mare Salon, in West 

Hollywood. 

The fall trend: “I don’t love overly ‘done’ anything,” 

Roszak says. “There were a lot of braids on the runway 

[see Rebecca Minkoff, Baja East]. I’m stripping them 

back and making it really simple.” 

How to do it: The best thing about the style Roszak rocks 

here? You don’tneed to be a hairstylist to do it. “It’s a throw 

- 

back to what we all learned when we were young,” she says. 

If your hair is frizzy, tame it with a few drops of oil (Roszak 

likes L’Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Lustrous Oil Serum, 

$7, at drugstores) from midlengths to ends. If it’s fine, use 

salt spray to build texture from roots to ends and let dry. 

Then do a loose three-strand braid, leaving the ends out. 

The bow is optional, but use this trick to keep your ribbon 

from slipping: Tie the bow to the hair tie first, then wrap 

the tie around the ends, Roszak says. Let the style evolve 

throughout the day—as pieces fall out, it only gets better.

Accessories 

The pro: Celebrity hairstylist Lacy Redway (@lacyredway) knows how 

to work shiny details. Just see Amandla Stenberg’s metal headband at this 

year’s Met Gala and the look she did on herself, below. 

The fall trend: “I love that the hair accessories at Alexander McQueen 

[top right] were scattered and random,” Redway says. “The idea of mixing 

delicate pieces with harder pieces—it made it cool and less bridal to 

me.” 

How to do it: The key to this style is imperfection, Redway says. “We 

don’t see hair that is really coiffed, with every single strand in place, 

now.” If you have tight spirals like Redway’s, try her product cocktail to 

define curls: Mix SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing 

Smoothie ($13, Walgreens), Jamaican black castor oil (find it at beauty-supply 

stores), and shea butter (ditto), then twist your hair to set it 

in place overnight. If your hair is straight and fine, you’ll want to build 

texture to keep heavier pieces from falling out. Spritz a volume spray 

(Redway likes Bed Head by Tigi Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening 

Spray, $18, ulta.com) on damp hair and rough dry with a blow-dryer, 

scrunching with your hands as you go to add texture. Then pile on as 

many accessories as you want. “It’s not a permanent thing,” she says, “so 

you can always move them around if it isn’t working.” 

Her unexpected accessories: “I like to go to 

hardware stores or craft stores and get things 

that I can play with,” Redway says. Case 

in point: the amazing extra-large 

safety pin she used at left. Another 

must-try: vintage brooches (check 

doyledoyle.com).

The pro: Manicurist Alicia Torello (@alicia

The fall trend: “Nail art has been such a 

thing for a while, and sometimes it’s hard to 

feel inspired,” Torello says. “But when I see 

runway looks at shows like Gucci [left] and 

Delpozo, with their patterns and the rich, 

intense colors, I’m like, ‘That would be so sick 

as a nail!’ ” 

Runway 

Inspiration 

How to do it: This isn’t hard, but it will 

take time; allow at least 40 minutes. You’ll 

need striping tape (thin tape that helps make 

clean lines on nails) and four contrasting colors 

(pick any four, or use the shades Torello 

chose for hers, above). Start by filing your 

nails; Torello prefers almond shapes for this 

look. “A block design on a square nail can be 

too harsh,” she says. Apply cuticle 

remover and gently push down 

your cuticles with an orangewood 

stick (find at beauty-supply 

stores), then gently buff to smooth 

your nail beds. Now use a cotton 

pad to clean nails thoroughly with 

polish remover or alcohol so your manicure 

will last. Apply base coat and if your nails are 

on the yellow side, use a sheer nude polish for a 

healthy glow. Let dry, then apply striping tape 

across the base of your nail and fill in the area 

with your lighter hue. Once that’s set (give it 

five to 10 minutes), use the tape to make a line 

down the center and fill in your darker block 

over the top (it’ll cover the first color). Do the 

same at the tips with two more shades, and 

finish with clear topcoat for glossy shine.

Beauty / It’s My Thing 

“How I learned 

to love my 

triangle 

hair” 

Glamour’s Simone Kitchens 

on the glorious return of 

a once-dorky cut 

haven’t always loved my triangle-shaped hair. I haven’t 

even always loved my curls. Hair can be so wrapped up 

in your identity, and often curly hair on a woman means 

you’re different, zany, nonconforming, or, in my case, ethnically 

“other.” Up until my late twenties, I didn’t want to 

be those things; I wanted good hair. References to “good 

hair” abound in black culture, and more often than not 

those words mean straight; they mean soft and smooth. 

And while, yes, things are evolving hairwise, and showing 

your natural texture has become more accepted, it’s 

been a long ride. I mean, look around: No one on The Bachelor 

has curls. Kerry Washington wears her hair straight on Scandal. 

And when it comes to triangle hair—the flat-on-top, full-atthe-ends 

effect when curly, layer-free hair goes long—things are 

worse. Google “triangle hair” and you get: “Say No to the Triangle 

Effect!” or “How I Fixed My Puffy Triangle.” (There’s also a 

ton of Gilda Radner photos.) I had the triangle growing up in 

Oklahoma City, and around the time of middle school, a hairstylist 

told me that this naturally occurring shape was unattractive. I 

spent many years after that avoiding it. 

But last year I wrote an essay in this magazine exploring my 

family lineage and my race, something I am still to this day figuring 

out. In opening the piece I described what I look like—my 

brown skin, my dark brown eyes, my naturally curly hair. At the

Beauty / It’s My Thing 

What I Use… 

…TO GET OUT TANGLES 

Dove Quench Absolute 

Conditioner ($5, at drugstores) 

time I wore my hair pretty straight. I would 

spend about a half hour in the morning 

blow-drying it and then add in a looser curl 

with an iron. It was a lot of work, and I’d been 

doing it for years. Most people in my life had 

never even seen my hair in its natural state. But 

after writing the article—and starting to better 

understand my background—I decided to stop 

literally straightening out the frizzy-haired girl 

I was in elementary school, and to free my curls 

to dry however they wanted. I was exhausted 

by all the work, but mostly I was tired of turning 

my hair into something it wasn’t. 

When I interviewed Solange Knowles last 

year, I was struck by the empowerment she 

feels about her hair. She’s always seemed so 

comfortable with it; her earliest memories, she 

said, were of the endless hair experimentation 

that went on at her mom’s salon in Houston. 

She had a really positive introduction to beauty 

because of that, she told me. In recent years 

she’s allowed her hair to take different shapes, 

but the one that stands out the most reminded 

me of the hair geometry of my youth: the isosceles 

triangle. Which is exactly what my hair 

became once I stopped blowing it dry and 

returned to my natural texture. The triangle, 

back again after all these years! 

But this time the familiarity of the cut 

felt powerful. If hair is tied up in societal 

identity, this style reflects me in my most 

comfortable state. 

My mother has had this hair. Solangefreaking-Knowles 

has had this hair. And I have 

always had this hair. But now I’m not trying to 

hide it.

How a Tomboy 

Does Beauty 

Prefer the fresh-faced look to a red 

lip? Glamour’s Katheryn 

Erickson is feeling that too.

The OG tomboy: Jane Goodall, beauty icon 

when I was growing up, I was just as likely to be 

found in a tree as playing with dolls. My main 

after-school activities were fishing, ball sports 

of any kind, and mountain biking; my main 

companions, my older brother and his daredevil friends. And 

while I now prefer dresses to dirty jeans, I’ll forever be drawn 

to that tomboy sensibility. Luckily for like-minded women 

everywhere, the ungirly aesthetic is filtering into the beauty 

world. Want a break from the super-femme stuff? Focus on 

these trends: the scrubbed-clean skin, messy-hair look. Get 

it with (1) Dior Dreamskin Cushion ($82, dior.com), a tinted 

serum that doesn’t hide your freckles; (7) Nars Multiple Duo 

in Copacabana/Sidari Beach ($39, sephora.com) for glow; (8) 

Givenchy Mister Brow Filler ($27, sephora.com) for boyish 

brows; and (9) R+Co Cactus Shampoo ($24, randco.com) 

to add texture to hair. Also, (4) Kiehl’s Apothecary Preparations 

customizable antiaging serum ($95, kiehls.com) 

and (6) Farmacy Skin Dew face mist ($44, farmacybeauty

And I’m into cool, neutral nails, especially (2) Essie 

Now and Zen ($9, essie.com). Finally, my top 

ungirly scents: (3) Byredo Toile ($62, byredo

Beauty / Insight 

Sleep, 

Sugar, 

Sex 

& 

Your 

Skin 

The real deal on what messes 

you up. By Cristina Mueller 


1THE DEAL ON: 

Sleep 

You say: “I quit work a couple of years ago and 

immediately adopted a regular midday nap— 

anywhere from 45 minutes to one and a half 

hours—along with seven to nine hours of sleep 

at night. I also started doing yoga and eating 

more organic fruits and vegetables, and saw 

a noticeable difference in my skin after about 

two months. It was like I was aging backward! 

And I got far fewer pimples, sometimes 

none at all. Here’s the problem: I’ve gone back 

to work, and though I’ve kept up the healthy 

eating and yoga, I get only six hours of sleep a 

night and obviously don’t nap. And I’m breaking 

out again. It’s all about the sleep! Sleep 

cures all.” —Karina, 34, Emeryville, Calif. 

The experts say: “Genius woman with that 

nap!” says Cambridge, Massachusetts, dermatologist 

Ranella Hirsch, M.D. When you 

don’t get enough sleep, she explains, your 

body overreacts to things like the hormonal 

changes that happen before your period, 

which can result in breakouts. Plus, when 

you’re awake when you shouldn’t be, your 

cortisol levels stay high, says Manhattan dermatologist 

Joshua Zeichner, M.D., meaning 

more dark circles and puffiness in the short 

term and more wrinkles in the long. But naps 


Photographs by Pascal Shirley



aren’t the only solution: an ironclad bedtime and a solid seven 

hours are. And to maximize your skin care, use ingredients 

like retinol and peptides at night—they’re best able to stimulate 

collagen when your skin is at rest, adds Dr. Zeichner. 

We like Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Intensive 

Recovery Ampoules ($110, esteelauder.com) for their 

glow-boosting effects. 

How soon you can see a change: After one good night’s 

sleep, says Dr. Hirsch.

the effects of pollution that fast, says Dr. Zeichner, who 

suspects that lower humidity might be clearing Kate’s 

skin when she leaves town. But studies show that longterm 

pollution exposure does cause free-radical damage 

on the skin, the same way UV rays do, he says: “It breaks 

down collagen and can lead to wrinkling, premature 

aging, and dark spots.” Best bet, assuming moving is 

not your game plan: Get an oscillating cleansing brush 

or mechanical exfoliating cleanser (like the Clean 

& Clear one above) to gently scrub off 

any invisible toxic gunk at night, says 

Dr. Zeichner. And be sure to use an 

antioxidant-packed broad-spectrum 

sunscreen like the one at left; it’ll keep pollution 

from damaging your skin. 

How soon you can see a change: Not 

immediately—it could take months, 

even longer. “Avoiding pollution is a silent 

investment in your skin,” says Chevy

Tanzi, M.D.

You say: “When I stay away from sugar, my skin is normal— 

not too dry, not too oily. But if I eat candy or chocolate multiple 

days in a row, my face lacks luster and breakouts begin, especially 

on my cheeks or chin.” —Sally, 20, Boynton Beach, Fla. 

The experts say: This is a real phenomenon. “If you have 

adult acne or the bumpy kind of rosacea, sugar is one of the 

first things I’d tell you to cut out,” says Dr. Tanzi. But it’s not 

actually the sugar that’s triggering inflammation; all carbo- 

hydrates, from a cookie to a grape, do this. After a couple of 

weeksofalow low-carb, low-sugar sugardiet, Dr. Tanzisays says, yourskin 

should be significantly clearer. Sugar may have some specific 

effects: High quantities enact a grim process called glycation, 

in which sugar molecules attach to collagen, leading to 

stiffening, cracks, and wrinkles over time, says Dr. Zeichner. 

So keep your intake of sweets to moderate amounts, 

and use skin products that repair collagen (try the 

L’Occitane serum below). 

How soon you can see a change: A couple 

of weeks if you’re sugar-sensitive and 

rosacea-prone; months or longer if it’s the 

general glycation 

you’re trying to 

target.

THE DEAL ON: 

Stress 

You say: “I know I’m truly stressed when this recurring 

cystic pimple appears on the right side of my 

chin—always after an extremely anxiety-filled couple 

of days. I’ve tried spot treatments, but it’s there 

until things calm down.” —Brooke, 26, Atlanta 

The experts say: The stress-skin connection is real. 

“When you’re stressed, your body goes into fightor-flight 

mode and starts pumping steroid-based 

stress hormones like cortisol,” says Dr. Hirsch. Over 

time that process lowers the body’s ability to keep 

skin issues, like Brooke’s recurring breakouts, at bay. 

“The stress isn’t the underlying cause of her breakouts,” 

she says, “but it is the little thing pushing her 

skin over the edge.” Stress can also trigger eczema, 

psoriasis, or rosacea flares, adds Dr. Zeichner. Small 

anxiety-erasing erasing tactics are helpful, but “I tryhard 

not to do that party line of ‘Oh yeah, just do yoga,’ ” 

Dr. Hirsch says. “For some women [reducing 

stress means] getting a pedicure, going 

hiking, or having a date night.” 

How soon you can 

see a change: Weeks to 

months, says Dr. Zeichner. “Stress can 

be a tricky one to bring down, but the efforts are 

worth it.”

Yes, says Beverly Hills 

dermatologist Harold 

Lancer, M.D.: “Just 

about all the structures 

of the skin benefit 

from sexual intimacy.” 

Number one, sex and 

orgasm increase blood 

flow—so all organs 

get a flood of oxygen, 

including the skin. Two, sex stimulates 

estrogen, thus maintaining hydration 

and increasing lymphatic drainage, 

which is good for skin. Third, it stimulates 

testosterone production, which can 

slow wrinkling. “Everything gets revved 

up and works better,” says Dr. Lancer. 

And if you want a natural boost, try maca 

root. Our testers felt the tingly effects of

show: “Treat the skin on your body just like 

you do your face.” In the meantime, make 

SPF application there a daily routine, she 

says. For my final move: a touch of highlighter. 

I swipe little glow sticks (see the 

Maybelline New York ones below) over 

high points, like my collarbones and tops 

of shoulders, then lightly on any tan lines 

or blemishes. A pro tip I picked up from 

makeup artist Patrick Ta: Apply the 

highlighter with your fingers. “It’s easier 

to blend,” he says. Since he’s the beauty 

guy behind Kendall Jenner and best 

friend Gigi Hadid, above, I’m listening!

Why You Need Rainbow Food 

Forget counting calories—just count colors. The more

Wellbeing / Eat, Drink, Repeat 

ainbow-hued food 

is all over Pinterest and 

Instagram—mostly, 

though, in the relatively 

unhealthy form of 

ROYGBIV bagels and 

pretty tie-dye lattes (yes; 

a thing). But there are 

health benefits of a real 

fruit- and-veggie-based 

rainbow meal, even more 

than you probably know. 

Fresh produce is home 

to more than 25,000 

health-boosting chemicals 

called phytonutrients 

(which are also the source 

of those bold colors). 

And not only do you get perks from each 

type of produce—green veggies may help 

prevent cancer, blue and purple varieties 

can boost the good bacteria in your gut, 

red guys can contribute to bone health— 

but research shows that you get even more 

of the benefits if you eat fruits or veggies 

together. Adding avocado or other 

heart-healthy fats to vegetables also helps 

your body absorb nearly seven times the 

beta-carotene from foods like carrots and 

red peppers. 

Since most of us are better at cooking 

in shades of beige—so much pasta!—than 

in multi hues, here’s help. Enjoy, and get 

ready for the most Instagrammable meal 

of your life.

Scary-good Dogpound 

trainer Dara Hart 

Body Blast! 

The season’s must-try workout? This head-to-toe, 

heart-pounding circuit from one of the coolest gyms 

in New York City. By Sara Gaynes Levy 

“I like it when people smash things,” 

says Kirk Myers, founder of the 

hot New York City gym Dogpound. 

But don’t let that intimidate you; his 

routines are doable for anyone who 

puts in the work. “It’s not like we’re all 

blessed to be a superathlete,” he says. 

“I was very overweight. I was diagnosed 

with heart disease when I was 

21. I started working out, and I saw 

the best results when I combined dif- 

ferent techniques.” So he borrowed 

from his favorite disciplines—boxing, 

strength training, barre, and yoga— 

and incorporated them into a 

rapid-fire routine known as The 

Machine Gun, which has become a 

go-to for models like Hailey Baldwin. 

(The gym’s graphic interior, designed 

by famed creative director Fabien 

Baron, is also part of the draw.) Myers 

crafted a 20-minute version with his 

fave moves just for Glamour: Do the 

entire routine three times with as 

little rest between moves as possible 

(“The key is the intensity,” says 


Myers), three or four times a week, 

and you’ll feel stronger in six weeks. 

Burpees: Stand with feet hipwidth 

apart. Bend down and place 

palms on floor in front of feet. Jump 

feet back, landing in push-up position. 

Immediately jump feet back up 

to hands. Stand up and hop, lifting 

arms overhead. Do 20 reps. 

Plank-to-push-ups: Start 

in a push-up position. Drop 

left forearm onto floor, 

then right, finishing in a 

plank. Push back up 

onto right hand,

then left, returning to start. 

Repeat 10 times, alternating 

which arm drops first. 

Bicycles: Lie flat on 

your back, knees bent at a 

90-degree angle. With hands 

behind head and elbows out 

wide, use your core to lift 

neck and shoulders off the 

ground. Bring right knee in 

toward chest, extending left 

leg out, and move left elbow 

toward right knee. Switch 

sides and repeat. Do 100 reps. 

Lunges: Stand with feet 

together, hands on hips. Step 

forward with right leg; bend 

right knee into a 90-degree 

angle while bringing left 

knee toward ground. Step left foot 

forward to meet right; repeat on 

other side. Do 15 per side. 

Squat slams: Stand with feet just 

wider than hip width, holding a 

heavy book overhead. (An old phone 

book works, since it might get 

roughed up; at Dogpound they use 

sandbags.) Throw it straight down 

to the ground, then squat, keeping 

chest up, to pick it back 

up. Return to start. 

Do 20 reps.

A Child of 9/11 Grows Up 

The Twin Towers fell 15 years ago—right outside writer Helaina Hovitz’s seventh-grade 

classroom. She spent over a decade trying to heal the trauma that followed. 

ou remember where you were on September 

11, 2001. We all do. For me it was the second 

day of seventh grade at I.S. 89, the middle school 

just three blocks from the World Trade Center. 

My first-period teacher, Mr. H., was beginning 

a lesson when what sounded like a giant whirring 

motor interrupted him. Moments later a teacher 

knocked on the door and told us that someone had 

bombed the World Trade Center. We were quickly ushered 

to the cafeteria. 

No one at the school knew what had really happened, 

but shortly after the second plane hit the South Tower, the 

bomb squad burst in and announced that we had to evacuate. 

Droves of hysterical parents arrived to take their kids. 

My mom and dad were stuck at their offices, but I spotted my 

neighbor Ann and her son Charles, whom I walked to school 

with every day. I wanted to go home. They could get me there. 

Through the oppressive smoke and ash, we tried to make 

it back, but police blocked our usual route. The street under 

us rumbled. Shards of glass and concrete screeched down 

all around. “Cover your faces!” Ann shouted. “Don’t look 

back, and run!” 

My ankle-length khaki skirt constricted my stride. As I 

ran, I could feel blisters forming on my feet from my clogs. 

We passed people bleeding, wheezing, and vomiting. Many 

were just screaming—covered in white, splattered in red. I 

tried to move faster. I thought, I’m going to die because of 

the outfit I picked out today. 

Ann somehow got us home. That night, back with my 


family, we slept in total darkness, except for the glow from 

Ground Zero, still on fire. 

At the end of that first week, a plane flew low over our 

block, and a thought washed over me: If you don’t run, you’re 

going to die. 

At the end of the month, we went back to school. It was 

time to get back to “normal,” Mayor Giuliani said. 

So I tried. I read teen magazines, listened to boy bands, 

studied for tests. But then, while shopping at Toys“R”Us, 

I became certain that bombs would fall on us, and we’d be 

trampled by the ensuing mob. I saw my best friend with a 

girl who had bullied me, so I cut her out of my life. My other 

friends started backing away from me. By the end of the year, 

I was agitated, nervous, and isolated. I started to wonder if 

“normal” was something I’d ever be able to feel again. 

high school didn’t offer a fresh start. I started hooking 

up with bad boys. I’d mirror their style, the way 

they spoke, the way they inhaled their cigarettes, 

desperate to belong. I hated being single, because 

I hated being alone. And I was always on edge: On a family 

vacation I smashed a hotel lamp when my father said something 

innocuous that set me off. After trying to sit through 

the movie War of the Worlds, I ran out of the theater in hysterics. 

My then-boyfriend tried to calm me down, but before 

I could stop myself, I hit him in the face. 

This clearly wasn’t “teen angst.” I had always been a 

fun-loving kid, but that Helaina was disappearing. My

parents started searching for someone who could help me. 

One therapist grumbled and closed his eyes while I 

talked. He clung to the fact that I was constantly sad and that 

I struggled to get out of bed in the morning. I was diagnosed 

with depression. I was medicated for it. I didn’t get better. 

Another therapist heard about my inability to concentrate 

in class, my sleeplessness, and my rapid and 

unstoppable flood of negative thoughts, and diagnosed me 

with ADD. I was medicated for it. I didn’t get better. 

Then I was diagnosed as bipolar because of my episodes 

of emotional volatility coupled 

with my ability to also 

feel extreme happiness. I was 

medicated for that too; I still 

didn’t get better. 

For six years a revolving 

door of medical professionals 

tried to “fix” me and only left 

me feeling drained of hope. 

When it came time for college, 

I chose the New School, 

in New York City, partly 

because it was too scary to 

leave home. If I left my comfort 

zone, I felt I couldn’t 

take care of myself. I moved 

between classes like a soldier, 

doing threat assessments: Does that man have a bomb? 

Is that stranger going to throw a brick at my head? It was 

exhausting. I found myself on my neighbor’s roof one 

night—I don’t remember climbing the stairs—contemplating 

something that, even now, is still painful for me to 

know I considered. 

That evening pushed me to decide it was time to get real 

help, beyond the Celexa for the anxiety, the Klonopin for 

the panic attacks, and the sleeping pills that were the only 

way I could get through the nights. I got a referral to a cognitive 

behavioral therapist, Dr. A. She had me write about 

my feelings during moments of panic, and then we analyzed 

them together. I started to see differences between 

my perception of a situation and its reality. I learned techniques 

like deep breathing and mental distraction for when 

something out of my control set me off. The therapy, for the 

first time, began to help. 

When Dr. A. left after a year to go on maternity leave, I 

was referred to another therapist, Dr. J. She said, just a few 

sessions in, “I know where this started.” 

And she laid out a new diagnosis: I had post-traumatic 

stress disorder (PTSD)—a condition I’d heard associated 

with war veterans—as a result of what I lived through on and 

after September 11. I had never linked that day to my symptoms, 

but as soon as she said it, I felt a wash of relief. It made 

sense. I could be fixed. There was hope. 

I began researching PTSD. I related to every trait: a lack of 

a sense of identity, a proclivity toward abusive relationships, 

emotional outbursts, difficulty maintaining relationships, 

paranoia, insomnia, panic attacks, chronic anxiety, fear 

of abandonment. Looking it all over, I understood why I’d 

been told I had so many other conditions. But those were 

just symptoms. My PTSD was in charge of all my thoughts, 

“I had always been 

a fun-loving kid, 

but that Helaina was 

disappearing.” 

“It was too scary to leave home.” The author just before 9/11, 

left, and in 2016, in her lower Manhattan neighborhood 

convincing me that living this 

way was keeping me safe. 

Teens who experience 

trauma are especially vulnerable 

to these aftershocks, 

I’ve learned. “You were heading 

into adolescence,” Jasmin 

Lee Cori, author of Healing 

from Trauma, told me, “so 

you were less resilient than 

adults, who have more stability 

and coping mechanisms. 

You were also more vulnerable 

than children who were 

too young to fully process 

what happened. You were 

starting to understand the world around you.” Once I heard 

this, I knew I couldn’t have been suffering alone. 

so before the tenth anniversary of 9/11, I got in 

touch with former classmates to see whether they 

had struggled too. The parallels were striking. “I 

panicked if plans changed.” “Small problems to 

others felt like a tragedy to me.” “I felt branded, wounded, 

damaged, and crazy.” They—we—hadn’t talked about it. 

We didn’t believe anyone would understand. So many had 

lost their lives or their loved ones; what right did we have to 

complain? Talking to them, I felt heard. Yes, we survived, 

but we also had lost a piece of ourselves. 

I started trying to put myself back together—first, in 

12-step programs, where I learned to stop relying on substances 

to quiet the chatter in my mind. Dr. J. pushed me 

to picture anxiety-inducing situations without the panic. 

Through meditation I found peace between my thoughts. 

Through yoga, which can still be a challenge, I began to 

focus on the moment. Now, when the subway stops suddenly, 

my adrenaline doesn’t surge. I distract myself with 

emails, listen to my favorite song, or think about what’s for 

dinner. Panic wants to creep in, but its seduction doesn’t 

work anymore. I can let it go. 

Fifteen years ago this month, more than 3,000 people 

died and more than 6,000 were injured. Thousands more 

survived but were forever changed—myself among them. 

But today I’m finally able to move on. I’ve learned the best 

way to work through my fear is simply to stay still. No more 

reaching, no more fighting. 

And no more running.

Life / You, Me, We 

Jay, Brendan, and their friends 

were neither famous jocks nor, 

blessedly, college predators. I was 

rehabbing myself off an addiction 

to other kinds of boys. Vanity cases. 

Unfunny, hot babies. I wanted someone 

smart but not too serious. And funny 

was non-negotiable. My friend promised 

Jay and Brendan were funny. 

To my surprise, I recognized Jay as the 

guy I had been admiring all over campus. 

I’d noticed him across a lawn and liked 

his walk, the same one our 11-year-old 

son has now. Yes, I thought, that’s the one 

for me. Look at his golden hair. Look ok at 

his winter tan. 

Jay stuck out his hand for a shake, 

unusual in my college experience. “Good 

afternoon, young lady,” he said with a 

wolfish grin. I shook his hand, my face 

red, and laughed. 

Why had I pegged him as some kind 

of prize? Maybe evolution—a biological 

imperative to mate with a wiry blond 

who looked like he knew how to surf and 

ski, swaddled in Patagonia from birth. I 

did not surf or ski. I did not Patagonia. 

I was a gifted pessimist, pathologically 

cautious. I wrote stories about domestic 

catastrophes in my journal. I was afraid 

of everything: getting lost in the woods, 

a stranger barfing on me on the subway, 

house cats. Jay didn’t seem afraid of anything. 

He represented what I wanted to 

be—carefree, confident, and, most crucially, 

permanently tan, a quality he 

came by honestly on his frequent trips to 

places I had never been. 

All I cared about then, and for a long 

time after, was being picked. As a kid 

this meant making sure I was picked by 

female friends I thought highly of. These 

included girls who were attractive, girls 

who rolled the waists of their uniform 

skirts to make them shorter, girls who 

made me hopeful I might end up like 

them. Later this attention turned to boys. 

Being picked by a guy was the highest 

plane of happiness. 

In the frat house Jay played host 

and offered me a beer, while Brendan 

sat serenely smiling at me. Brendan’s 

politeness and his muscular legs are all 

I remember. If he seemed the reserved, 

letterbox half of the pair, Jay was the fullscreen 

show. I often wonder, How did I 

look past the person who occupies my 

entire inner life now? 

“We were just talking about how to 

make a cursive Q,” Jay said. “Do you have 

any idea, Renee?” 


Whydoyoulaug 

you laugh at all 

of his jokes? Jay used to say. 

Why do you pay so much 

attention to him? 

“Cursive Q. I think so,” I said. 

“Then we’ll test you. We can’t remember 

how. Please write the alphabet in cursive, 

with an emphasis on Q,” Jay said. 

He was wearing a T-shirt that said, 

“Democrats.” 

“Nice shirt,” I said. 

“I happen to be graduating from 

the acclaimed Maxwell School of Citizenship 

and Public Affairs,” said Jay. 

“Political science. But I’m going to be a 

cinematographer.” 

“What about you?” I asked Brendan. 

“Journalism,” Brendan said. “Going to 

be an editor.” 

They were sure of themselves, though 

in different ways. All these years later 

these are the only jobs they’ve ever had. 

Jay, images. Brendan, words. 

While I took the ridiculous Q exam, 

I congratulated myself: Look how I’ve 

willed Jay to notice me! That’s what I had 

to give—my entire self, fitted for approval. 

Do I look OK from where you are? I have 

green eyes. My breasts get great reviews! 

“OK, pencils down,” said Jay. 

“My Q is perfect,” I said. 

“That’s it!” Jay said. “It’s supposed to 

look like a 2! Renee, we’re going to keep an 

eye on you.” 

Pick me, I thought. Make me happy. 

For a long time he did. We became 

inseparable. After I graduated we moved 

in together in New York City. Our life 

felt like a movie montage, complete 

with stoop wine, baguettes, and cobblestoned 

streets. We went to self-conscious 

“playing house” dinner parties hosted by 

friends. We learned to cook and shopped 

at five different stores for one recipe. In 

our tiny West Village apartment, on trips 

around the world to countries I never 

thought I’d go to, during my graduate 

school years and Jay’s early career in production, 

I felt like I’d won a prize. Even 

after we got married and had our son and 

daughter, I continued to see Jay, my own 

husband, as a reward I’d been given. 

At the time I enjoyed being the serious 

half of the couple. I thought Jay’s chaos 

was the antidote to my cautiousness. He 

made decisions at the last minute. His 

career, his schedule, both were unpredictable, 

rendering our life the same. I 

thrive on specifics and information gathering: 

Where? When? Who said what to 

whom? Why? Jay deemed those questions 

fussy, controlling. These differences, in 

truth, excited me. Until they didn’t, and I 

felt myself trying to shrink them. Sometimes 

they announced themselves like a 

stroll into plate glass, and sometimes they 

waited for me, woke me with stealth in the 

middle of the night. I’d sit up in our bed 

and worry in the dark about our fighting, 

which was often fighting about fighting. 

Once, I saved my meager earnings as 

a media assistant and bought him a pair 



of expensive cognac-leather shoes he’d 

admired. He cherished them, he said. 

And then, on a bus from New York to 

Philadelphia, he left them behind. He’d 

worn them once. “I’m sorry—I just forgot,” 

he said. “Don’t be mad.” “Relax, 

” he 

would say all the time. Relax. But this 

carelessness meant something to me, 

and I could feel my intolerance for his 

scattered, sanguine style hardening. 

His lightness was making me darker, 

an insidious development I never saw 

coming. I clawed around figuring 

myself out, realizing things I thought I 

liked were things I could barely stand. 

Increasingly, when he simply behaved 

like himself, I grew impatient and irritated. 

If he lost his keys, I didn’t talk to 

him for hours. My anger wasn’t Jay’s 

fault, but I punished him, and I sliced 

him and our marriage to shreds. 

All that time, through college and 

onward in New York City, Brendan, Jay, 

and I remained a close triangle, as Brendan 

dated various people over the years 

and eventually married. We frequently 

saw one another in groups—at dinners, 

bars, picnics in the park with friends. 

But whenever Brendan and I were 

together, an attraction swirled, like a tornado 

twisting in the corner of the room 

no one was supposed to see. Although 

unspoken, the feeling was primal and 

unstoppable. We experienced things— 

and people—the same way. We were 

moved by language, by the same books 

and films. We thought the same things 

were funny. When we didn’t agree, I 

found myself speechless over how smart 

he was. He could convince me of anything. 

He said the same about me. 


By the time we confessed our feelings 

to each other, it was old news. It 

had been obvious for a decade by then, 

in our every word and glance. Our tangled 

roots had grown over many years, 

gaining permanence as we recognized 

what was happening. For a long time 

these roots felt pernicious, as if they 

were going to rise up and strangle me. 

I tried to ignore the ground shifting 

beneath me. Go away, I thought. I like 

my own tree. 

For the first time I went to a 

therapist. I demanded à la carte 

treatment for this specific 

problem. She said no, it doesn’t 

work that way. But we’ll get to it, 

she 

said. I told her, heaving with 

sobs: I love one of my oldest friends. 

And he loves me too. Please help. Make 

it stop. I wanted her to tell me I was 

bad, reckless: One. Greedy. Slut. She 

would not do that, she said, I had to figure 

out the life I wanted to have. 

I disappeared, stopped socializing. 

My friends wondered what was wrong 

with me. One thought I was on drugs 

or had a disease I was hiding. When I 

finally told them the truth, that I was 

struggling with dangerous feelings for 

someone, none of them were surprised. 

Without saying, they knew it was Brendan. 

Everyone had remarked for years 

how obvious our affection was, uncomfortably 

so. Why do you laugh at all of 

his jokes? Jay used to say. Why do you 

pay so much attention to him? 

Once I decided what to do, I never 

went back to therapy. The feeling of 

wanting Brendan had shocked me with 

its power. It was never going to stop, not 

with 10 more therapists, not by moving 

across the world. I told the truth. My 

friends were kind. So were our families. 

They all said the same thing in different 

ways: one life, short on time, no dress 

rehearsals. Some things are just too big. 

That moment at college, when 

our three lives became permanently 

braided, before we knew the ways people 

can love and destroy one another, is 

the defining moment of my life. It set in 

motion decades to come. Love, sex, marriage, 

children, divorce, remarriage, 

pain, guilt, enduring friendship. All of it 

began to unspool like thread when the 

three of us said hello. 

I’ve started to teach my nine-yearold 

daughter to avoid my patterns. The 

ones that kept me from knowing myself

breaking up with Jake. Here’s why. 

Jake’s 1956 

premiere 

this was my iconic teenage 

afternoon in the late ’80s: 

tanning in my backyard, 

listening to my Walkman, 

fingers orange from Planters 

Cheez Balls, Glamour on my lap. I 

didn’t have a brother, so who better 

to educate me about men than 

Jake, Glamour’s wise, funny columnist? 

His anonymity was half 

the fun; I envisioned him as River 

Phoenix with Matt Dillon’s eyebrows. 

He was one of my first loves. 

Fast-forward to today, 

and I—and my fellow Glamour 

editors—have to admit the 

concept of a faceless male advice 

columnist suddenly seems as 

dated as tanning oil and the 

cassette tape. (Cheez Balls are 

another story; still an awful loss.) 

It’s not that we don’t want to 

understand men—it’s that men are 

no longer “other.” They’re in our 

tribes; we play and work alongside 

them. We want our men to have 

names and own their opinions. 

We thought about just ghosting 

Jake. But like the mature women 

we are, we wanted to break the 

news in person. Not surprisingly, 

Jake is a class act: “At first I 

assumed I’d done something 

terrible,” he says. “Then I realized, 

I’m one guy—I can’t speak for 

every male out there. So, even 

though it’s a little nontraditional to 

introduce yourself in a goodbye, 

my name’s Neel Shah. And it was 

great being the most recent Jake. 

My last piece of advice as Official 

Spokesperson for Dudes 

Everywhere? For the love of God, 

everybody please respond to texts 

in a timely fashion. Oh, and be nice 

to one another. That helps too.” 

Of course, we’ll continue to 

include male voices in our pages. 

In this issue you’ll hear from Jordan 

Carlos of The Nightly Show and 

President Barack Obama (NBD). 

As for you, Jake? Thanks for 

leading the way. —Elisabeth Egan

Life / Crowdsource This 

I have a 

booty call on 

speed dial... 

but I really want a relationship. While I’m happy 

that my needs are being met, I’m worried 

that being with this guy is going to prevent me 

from being fully open to others. Am I just 

overthinking it, or do I need to throw myself 

into mate-seeking mode? —K.C., 26, Boston 

MOIRA WEIGEL 

SAYS: 

Not to get all academic, 

but I’d challenge the 

false binary here. We 

have this idea that 

either we can get our 

“needs met,” the way we 

would call an Uber, or 

we’re in an Important 

Relationship. There are 

lots of shades of gray in 

between. If you can find 

a friend who can get you 

off, that’s not nothing! 

That said, the very fact 

that you’re asking this 

question is a sign that 

you have some reservations 

about your current 

situation. Based on my 

research, a f--k buddy is 

likely to change how 

much you want to put 

into something new or 

how much enthusiasm 

you’ll bring to a new 

partner. If a relationship 

is what you really 

want, it may be time to 

move on. 

Weigel is the author of 

Labor of Love: The 

Invention of Dating. 


BEA ARTHUR 

SAYS: 

There’s nothing wrong 

with having booty-call 

sex and looking for a 

boyfriend at the same 

time. If being sexually 

satisfied takes the edge 

off when you’re dating, 

go for it. (It’s like when 

you’re looking for a job 

or an apartment—the 

search can feel desperate 

if you’re not enjoying 

the process.) But if it’s 

been, say, three months 

since you’ve been on a 

date with anybody else, 

you’re lying to yourself 

that it’s only sex. Just 

be honest about the 

space this person is 

taking up in your heart 

and your head. 

Arthur is a psychotherapist 

based in New York City. 

“Hey, 

you up?” 

WHITNEY WOLFE 

SAYS: 

What you’re doing is 

fine! Sometimes going 

into mate-seeking 

mode can lead you to 

date someone you’re not 

compatible with just in 

an effort to be in a relationship. 

A healthy 

relationship comes not 

from seeking out someone 

to make you whole 

but from being whole 

yourself. So if this 

casual, no-stringsattached 

arrangement 

makes you feel good, 

keep doing that. When 

you are the best version 

of yourself, that’s when 

someone will really 

walk into your life. 

Wolfe is the founder 

and CEO of the dating 

app Bumble. 

IAN KERNER 

SAYS: 

The cliché is that you 

can’t separate feelings 

from sex. While I 

wouldn’t discount the 

power of sex—it can 

release strong bonding 

hormones—most of my 

patients can maintain 

boundaries with someone 

they sleep with but 

don’t want an emotional 

relationship with. It 

sounds like you’re doing 

just that, so don’t worry 

about sex getting in the 

way of finding The One.

n 

It’s Time to Rethink the 

Engagement Ring 

Jordan Carlos has a proposal: Stop expecting a guy to lay out major 

cash to put a shiny bauble on your finger. 

ine years ago I was saddled with a 

dilemma. My now-wife, Alina, and I 

wanted to level-up our relationship, 

but there was a problem. One of us 

was broke, and that one of us was me. 

As a struggling comedian, I could barely pay my rent, 

and I certainly couldn’t afford a proper engagement ring. 

The conventional wisdom is that a man should spend at 

least three months’ salary on a ring (to show how much 

he loves her!). But I was living gig to gig, with oceans of 

time between paychecks. Three months’ salary for me 

could be…nothing. “I know you don’t have a lot of 

money,” Alina would say, acknowledging the 

situation. “But my coworker has this gorgeous 

engagement ring…. Never mind, it’s 

fine.” It was definitely not fine. 

Up until that point, Alina and I had had 

what we considered to be a very modern, progressive 

relationship—we split almost 

everything, from gas to rent to vacations, 

and we listened to so much 

NPR, you guys! But suddenly I 

felt thrust into the shopworn 

role of provider with little to no 

conversation. 

I was able to muster up 

enough scratch for a ring. I think 

I may have spent all the money I 

had—about $1,600, which is, of 

course, peanuts when it comes to 

diamonds. But no matter what a 

guy can afford in that situation, he 

often feels it’s inadequate. For many 

of my male friends and family, buying 

an engagement ring meant taking a second 

or third job, assuming serious credit card debt, 

even borrowing from parents. (Now that’s romantic.) 

I actually started to question myself on a deeper level: Can 

I buy her the things she needs in life? Why don’t I make 

more money? And finally, Why can’t she pay for this too? 

Here’s the thing: Getting married is supposed to be 

a happy occasion, one that brings a couple closer in a 

barn and/or tent along with some friends and everyone 

Ice Is Nice 

But if he can’t 

afford it, Carlos 

argues, back off. 

drinks out of mason jars. The whole make-him-buy-youan- 

engagement-ring thing may be traditional, but the 

tradition it’s based on is practically medieval, viewing 

women as property or a prize to be won. Today spark, 

chemistry, and passion are what really bind people 

together, not a $10K bauble. It’s time for a disruption. 

Now, I know this idea might not be popular with everyone. 

“Suck it up!” I can hear some of you say. But starting 

a marriage in debt doesn’t seem like a solid foundation to 

me. A few tips I’d propose instead: 

1. No more dreams on credit. Either accept a ring 

your mate can pay for in cash, or chip in to make 

it happen yourself. (In cash!) If your relationship 

can’t weather living with what your 

partner can afford, you’re in for choppy seas. 

2. Stop keeping score. When you’re old and 

gray, I guarantee the final analysis of your 

marriage won’t be “If only the engagement 

ring were bigger, we would have truly 

been happy.” Trust me. Time passes, 

and things like mortgages, vacations, 

and how many times you’ll 

let your daughter watch effing 

Frozen will knock the ring out of 

your top-priority list. 

3. Do it together. After paying 

for the engagement ring, I 

finally broke down and admitted 

to Alina that I didn’t have the 

money to buy her a wedding band. 

So we bought one together at a little 

antiques shop for $985. We went 

halfsies, and I felt I was sharing the 

load with my best friend, which is how 

marriage should feel. 

Don’t worry: Over the years I have bought 

my wife more jewelry. I pull in a bigger (and regular) 

paycheck now, and in any good relationship, you buy your 

partner stuff he or she likes. Alina just happens to like diamonds. 

But more than that, I know she likes me.

Life / The One-eighty 

Seriously, a Tropical Island? 

Sarah Knight ditched big-city life, but not because of burnout. Let her explain. 

Knight, 37, takes in 

the view near her new 

home in Las Terrenas, 

Dominican Republic. 

summer 2011: My husband, Judd, and I went to Mexico 

for my college roommate’s bachelorette party. There we 

met her childhood friend Jon Crawford, who, as we 

witnessed over the next seven days, had the greatest 

zest for life of anyone I’ve ever known. He was a world 

traveler, an extreme skier, an inveterate prankster; I 

loved him right away. By the end of the week, it felt like we’d been 

friends for life. But Judd and I went home to Brooklyn, Jon flew 

back to Seattle, and we pretty much lost touch. 

Summer 2014—July 12, to be exact: When Jon didn’t show up 

for work, his colleagues went to his house and found him inside, 

inches from his front door, dead from what we learned was most 

likely a heart arrhythmia. He’d been putting on his shoes. 

Here was a guy our age, midthirties, who had more life force 

coursing through his veins than an active volcano has lava, and he 

was dead? Just like that? It was inconceivable. 

Tributes began pouring in on social media: Jon’s karaoke chops 

were unparalleled. He was an investor in his friends’ restaurant. 

He’d been immortalized in a coffee-table book about Seattle Seahawks 

fans. Soon the slogan #LiveLikeCrawford decorated 

T-shirts and bumper stickers across the country among our 

friends. But even though I saw how many lives Jon had touched, I 

didn’t yet know how deeply he’d touch mine. 

My husband and I had dreamed about moving to a tropical 

beach but never considered it a real possibility, at least not until 

retirement. I’d climbed from a bookstore job to become a senior 

editor, publishing best-sellers like Gillian Flynn’s Dark Places and 

Jessica Knoll’s Luckiest Girl Alive. My husband was having his 

best year ever as a real estate broker. Life was good. 

But when Jon died, we realized: It is also too short. 


So 39 days after we got the news, we signed a contract to build a 

home in the Dominican Republic, five minutes by foot to some of 

the world’s most beautiful beaches. Ten months after that, having 

saved enough to go freelance, I gave notice. A few months later I 

got a book deal of my own. I’d always wanted to write but never had 

the creative energy while editing other people’s work. 

Of course it hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns. Pulling the 

rip cord on a career I’d spent 15 years cultivating was traumatic; 

my identity was so tied up in my professional success that it felt like 

I was saying goodbye to myself. (There may have been some tears… 

and red wine. Lots of red wine.) But I’m proud we did it. 

The day we signed that contract, we set a goal to be living in the 

Dominican Republic within two years. It took us only 17 months. 

This year my Thanksgiving dinner will come with plátanos and 

frijoles, and my Christmas tree will have fronds. 

I have no regrets. I wanted year-round sunshine and a slower 

pace, with piña coladas on tap. I wanted to work for myself and 

learn Spanish and walk on a beach every morning. And I didn’t 

want to be 65 years old before I had the chance. 

I wanted to live like Crawford. 

Sarah Knight is the author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not 

Giving a F*ck. 

Lessons From My 180 

What I’ve learned: In order to make this big life switch, I had 

to stop caring so much what other people might think. 

What I’ve gained: I’m the type of person who takes a personality 

quiz and gets results like “dislikes change” and “craves stability.” But 

uprooting my whole life showed me that change isn’t actually that scary.

Life / Working It 

How to Survive the 

Mooch Economy 

Nearly half of all young people 

now depend on their parents for 

financial help. Not you? 

Concepcion de Leon has money 

rules for killing it anyway. 

hen I moved to Boston for a job after 

college, I had no savings—just the final 

paycheck from my last temp gig, a suitcase 

of clothes, and a thousand dollars in 

credit card debt. I slept on a borrowed air mattress for weeks 

until I could afford to buy a used version of the real thing. 

And I paid for everything on my own: rent, groceries, nights 

out, thrift store clothing. I thought everyone else did too. 

Until one night when my new roommate 

and I were commiserating over wine about 

our low bank balances, and she mentioned 

that her parents covered half of her living 

expenses. Of course, parents often help 

out in a pinch, but an allowance? I remember 

thinking: That’s still a thing? I felt a 

wave of hopelessness. No matter how hard 

I worked, I couldn’t keep up with that. 

I soon learned many of my peers were 

getting “start-up money” from family. 

(One poll found that 44 percent of young 

adults receive financial support from their 

parents.) Sometimes that’s help with rent 

or gift cards to Pottery Barn. Other times 

parents are footing the bill for their kids’ 

cell phones and credit cards or signing as 

guarantors on a lease or loan. In my life, 

my dad occasionally relies on my credit. 

(Sometimes the situation is even more 

dire—see “I Didn’t Even Have an Address” 

on page 228.) 

Any early support adds up. And not 

just because it means you can go out 

every Saturday night—it also affects 

your wealth accumulation over time. A 

young person who’s had help paying bills 

or rent can buy a house a full eight years 

earlier than someone who doesn’t have 

that support, and research shows that 

length of homeownership is the numberone 

contributor to long-term wealth. That 

unequal footing is part of the reason the 

wealth gap has more than tripled in the 

past few decades—especially along racial 

and ethnic lines. 

After about a year in Boston, I decided 

I wanted to pursue a career in journalism 

and moved back to New York City. I did 

get some help—my dad let me move back 

home—but if I want to live independently, 

it’s up to me to make it happen. Now, four 

years after graduation and with quite a bit 

of financial stress under my belt, I’m on 

my way to building my own foundation. 

A few lessons I’ve learned along the way: 

Figure out what’s important to 

you (and spend your $$ there) 

In Boston I charged a lot of small things— 

dinner, drinks, the occasional lambskin 

leather jacket. (I blame FOMO.) Before 

I knew it, I’d racked up $6,000 in debt. 

After that shocking realization, I took a 

good, long look at my credit card statement 

to figure out where I could cut 

back. I felt embarrassed by how many 

cab, vending machine, and Starbucks 

charges there were. (I don’t even like cof-

fee!) It’s an exercise that Ron Lieber, the 

Your Money columnist for The New York 

Times and author of The Opposite of 

Spoiled, also recommends. “Your credit 

card statement,” he says, “is a pretty good 

demonstration of your values. If you don’t 

like what the list of expenditures says 

about you, you’re not spending money the 

way you should.” 

I wasn’t. So I crossed out items I wanted 

to stop blowing money on and put that 

cash into my savings instead. 

Time to set 

some new 

wallet goals! 

You must (must) build an 

emergency fund 

When you have just $32 in a checking 

account (I’ve been there), it’s not easy. 

“But if you don’t have a parental cushion,” 

says Tonya Rapley, founder of myfab 

finance.com, “you are your cushion. Do 

whatever is necessary to build that emergency 

fund—get a second job to increase 

your income or slash your spending.” 

The goal: three to six months’ worth of 

living expenses, so that any financial 

hit—hospital bills or unexpected car 

repairs—won’t be a major setback. 

Embrace financial screw-ups 

At first I beat myself up for not taking 

control of my money sooner. But the 

years it took me to snap out of my spending 

cycle weren’t necessarily a bad thing, 

says Amanda Clayman, a New York 

City–based financial therapist with a 

background in social work. “Failure can 

be valuable in the long run,” she explains. 

“Sometimes having the freedom to stand 

on your own two feet and make mistakes 

means you learn the crucial financial 

skills you’ll need in the long run—when 

the stakes are often much higher.” 

Help yourself first, then 

pull others up 

Even as I found my financial footing, 

I felt guilty about not helping my dad, 

Tiffany “The Budgetnista” 

Aliche saved enough 

to buy a home by 25. Now 

36, the founder of the

helping other women 

with their money. Steal 

her secrets! 

who emigrated from the Dominican 

Republic without any money when he 

was 23—younger than I am now. Classic 

first-generation guilt. Lieber says I’m not 

alone: A lot of people from disadvantaged 

backgrounds feel they owe it to their parents 

to contribute to family finances—and 

fear they’re being selfish if they don’t. 

But I’ve realized that if I get stuck in 

the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck, 

never saving enough to build something, 

I’ll never be able to help anyone else. I need 

to get my finances together first. 

So as of this spring, in addition to putting 

money in my emergency fund and 

401(k), I direct-deposit money from my 

paycheck into an investment account too. 

With every little bit I deposit—even if it’s 

only $20—I feel safer and more grounded. 

I hope to move out of my dad’s house 

soon. Don’t get me wrong: I love my eightyear-old 

sister, but I’d rather not wake up 

to her crawling into my bed every Saturday 

morning. And I can’t wait to teach her 

the money lessons I’ve 

learned. 

Concepcion de Leon,

assistant at Glamour. 

“I saved $40K in two years—on a $39K salary!” 

Trust us: You want Tiffany Aliche’s advice. 

Learn what you can’t afford 

“To ‘afford’ something means you can 

buy it without disrupting your savings. 

If you have to say, ‘I guess I could 

get this if I go without saving this month,’ 

it means you’ve just figured out a way 

to pay for it, but you can’t truly afford it.” 

Invest, invest, invest 

“You can’t save your way 

to wealth. The only way to create 

wealth is to invest—in a business, 

real estate, or stocks and bonds. 

If your money isn’t growing, 

you’re getting poorer!” 

Live your “more” 

“Once, a friend invited me out to eat 

and said, ‘You won’t come; you’re so 

cheap.’ I just told her, ‘I’m about to 

board a hot-air balloon!’ Dining out isn’t 

my thing; I value experiences more. 

Find your ‘more.’ ”

The toughest part of the job: “When 

players on the border of making the team 

get a significant injury, it’s one of the 

hardest things to watch. Sometimes these 

men will cry. There’s nothing you can say 

to help them feel better in that moment. 

I just have to stay positive and be somebody

dreams are slipping away. We have to be 

their rock.”

pregnant. “Madonna came on board late, 

around September or October,” says Moll,

started rehearsing, and it was great.” 

On staying calm under pressure: “We’re 

setting up for eight minutes, performing 

for 12, and breaking down for six. It feels 


like I don’t breathe for those 26 minutes,”

On seizing the moment: When the 

St. Louis Rams’ field caught fire last year, 

Erdahl, 27, was the only member of the 

broadcast team to see it. “CBS let me have 

an open mic and talk about it,” she says. 

“There was complete trust there. That 

was amazing.” 

On her haters: “A common insult I get on 

social media is ‘Why should I listen to this 

woman? She’s never played the game.’ I 

work with a lot of men who never played 

football, but people don’t hold it against 

them. If someone is saying I haven’t put 

the work in, I know my preparation and 

knowledge will come across no matter 

what. As long as I continue to have confidence 

in myself that I know what I’m 

doing, I’m fine.” 

Her game-day look: “Comfortably chic. 

I’m aware of what people see on camera, 

but I have to be able to move on the field. 

I wore my Fitbit to one game in Cleveland 

and walked six miles during a game!”

out he had ALS, we learned I was 

pregnant. Soon after, Steve began 

filming video diaries for our son. 

And then we welcomed filmmakers 

into our house to help us share 

our journey in the documentary. 

The night before the premiere, I 

panicked. I climbed on Steve’s bed 

and yelled, “Why are we sharing 

this with the world?!” Steve and 

I have been married for eight years, 

but we’ve experienced enough 

emotional highs and lows for a 

lifetime: a successful NFL career, 

world travel, the birth of our son, 

a terminal diagnosis. That night he 

gave me an out: He said we didn’t 

have to go. I said, “No, we do.” The 

first times viewing the film felt 

awkward, but the more reactions 

I heard, the more comfortable 

I felt. People are inspired by Steve 

and thank me for my willingness 

to show life as it actually is. These 

conver sations are now my favorite 

part of sharing the movie. Knowing 

it has had an impact on people’s 

lives is a really affirming feeling.

“Life became a

simply started 

being myself,” says 

President Obama 

(here in 1980). 

OBAMA: LISA JACK/GETTY IMAGES 

This Is What a 

Feminist Looks Like 

In his final months in office, 

President Barack Obama reflects on “tough guys,” 

“bossy girls,” and how stereotypes limit us all. 

glamour.com 223

Talk / In My Opinion 

here are a lot of tough aspects to being President. But 

there are some perks too. Meeting extraordinary people 

across the country. Holding an office where you get to 

make a difference in the life of our nation. Air Force One. 

But perhaps the greatest unexpected gift of this job 

has been living above the store. For many years my life 

was consumed by long commutes —from my home in 

Chicago to Springfield, Illinois, as a state senator, and 

then to Washington, D.C., as a United States senator. 

It’s often meant I had to work even harder to be the kind of husband 

and father I want to be. 

But for the past seven and a half years, that commute has been 

reduced to 45 seconds—the time it takes to walk from my living 

room to the Oval Office. As a result, I’ve been able to spend a lot 

more time watching my daughters grow up into smart, funny, 

kind, wonderful young women. 

That isn’t always easy, either—watching them prepare to leave 

the nest. But one thing that makes me optimistic for them is that 

this is an extraordinary time to be a woman. The progress we’ve 

made in the past 100 years, 50 years, and, yes, even the past eight 

years has made life significantly better for my daughters than it 

was for my grandmothers. And I say that not just as President but 

also as a feminist. 

In my lifetime we’ve gone from a job market that basically 

confined women to a handful of often poorly paid positions to a 

moment when women not only make up roughly half the workforce 

but are leading in every sector, from sports to space, from 

Hollywood to the Supreme Court. I’ve witnessed how women 

have won the freedom to make your own choices about how you’ll 

live your lives—about your bodies, your educations, your careers, 

your finances. Gone are the days when you needed a husband to 

get a credit card. In fact, more women than ever, married or single, 

are financially independent. 

So we shouldn’t downplay how far we’ve come. That would 

do a disservice to all those who spent their lives fighting for justice. 

At the same time, there’s still a lot of work we need to do to 

improve the prospects of women and girls here and around the 

world. And while I’ll keep working on good policies—from equal 

pay for equal work to protecting reproductive rights—there are 

some changes that have nothing to do with passing new laws. 

In fact, the most important change may be the toughest of 

all—and that’s changing ourselves. 

This is something I spoke about at length in June at the firstever 

White House Summit on the United State of Women. As far 

as we’ve come, all too often we are still boxed in by stereotypes 

about how men and women should behave. One of my heroines 

is Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African 

American to run for a major party’s presidential nomination. She 

once said, “The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping 

of females begins when the doctor says, ‘It’s a girl.’ ” We know 

that these stereotypes affect how girls see themselves starting 

at a very young age, making them feel that if they don’t look or 

act a certain way, they are somehow less worthy. In fact, gender 

stereotypes affect all of us, regardless of our gender, gender identity, 

or sexual orientation. 

Now, the most important people in my life have always been 

women. I was raised by a single mom, who spent much of her 

career working to empower women in developing countries. I 

watched as my grandmother, who helped raise me, worked her way 

up at a bank only to hit a glass ceiling. I’ve seen how Michelle has 

balanced the demands of a busy career and raising a family. Like 

many working mothers, she worried about the expectations and 

judgments of how she should handle the trade-offs, knowing that 

few people would question my choices. And the reality was that 

when our girls were young, I was often away from home serving 

in the state legislature, while also juggling my teaching responsibilities 

as a law professor. I can look back now and see that, while 

I helped out, it was usually on my schedule and on my terms. The 

burden disproportionately and unfairly fell on Michelle. 

So I’d like to think that I’ve been pretty aware of the unique 

challenges women face—it’s what has shaped my own feminism. 

But I also have to admit that when you’re the father of two daughters, 

you become even more aware of how gender stereotypes 

pervade our society. You see the subtle and not-so-subtle social 

cues transmitted through culture. You feel the enormous pressure 

girls are under to look and behave and even think a certain way. 

And those same stereotypes affected my own consciousness 

The Perk of a “45-Second Commute” 

The President has spent “a lot more time” 

watching Sasha and Malia (here, meeting 

Mac the Turkey in 2014) grow into women. 

as a young man. Growing up without a dad, I spent a lot of time 

trying to figure out who I was, how the world perceived me, and 

what kind of man I wanted to be. It’s easy to absorb all kinds of 

messages from society about masculinity and come to believe that 

there’s a right way and a wrong way to be a man. But as I got older, 

I realized that my ideas about being a tough guy or cool guy just 

weren’t me. They were a manifestation of my youth and insecurity. 

Life became a lot easier when I simply started being myself. 

So we need to break through these limitations. We need to 

keep changing the attitude that raises our girls to be demure 

and our boys to be assertive, that criticizes our daughters for 

speaking out and our sons for shedding a tear. We need to keep 

changing the attitude that punishes women for their sexuality 

and rewards men for theirs. 

We need to keep changing the attitude that permits the routine 

harassment of women, whether they’re walking down the 

street or daring to go online. We need to keep changing the atti-

tude that teaches men to feel threatened by the presence and 

success of women. 

We need to keep changing the attitude that congratulates men 

for changing a diaper, stigmatizes full-time dads, and penalizes 

working mothers. We need to keep changing the attitude that 

values being confident, competitive, and ambitious in the workplace—unless 

you’re a woman. Then you’re being too bossy, and 

suddenly the very qualities you thought were necessary for success 

end up holding you back. 

We need to keep changing a culture that shines a particularly 

unforgiving light on women and girls of color. Michelle has often 

spoken about this. Even after achieving success in her own right, 

she still held doubts; she had to worry about whether she looked 

the right way or was acting the right way—whether she was being 

too assertive or too “angry.” 

As a parent, helping your kids to rise above these constraints 

is a constant learning process. Michelle and I have raised our 

daughters to speak up when they see a double standard or feel 

unfairly judged based on their gender or race—or when they 

notice that happening to someone else. It’s important for them 

to see role models out in the world who climb to the highest levels 

of whatever field they choose. And yes, it’s important that their 

dad is a feminist, because now that’s what they expect of all men. 

It is absolutely men’s responsibility to fight sexism too. And as 

spouses and partners and boyfriends, we need to work hard and 

be deliberate about creating truly equal relationships. 

The good news is that everywhere I go across the country, and 

around the world, I see people pushing back against dated assumptions 

about gender roles. From the young men who’ve joined our 

It’s On Us campaign to end campus sexual assault, to the young 

women who became the first female Army Rangers in our nation’s 

history, your generation refuses to be bound by old ways of thinking. 

And you’re helping all of us understand that forcing people to 

adhere to outmoded, rigid notions of identity isn’t good for anybody—men, 

women, gay, straight, transgender, or otherwise. 

These stereotypes limit our ability to simply be ourselves. 

This fall we enter a historic election. Two hundred and forty 

years after our nation’s founding, and almost a century after 

women finally won the right to vote, for the first time ever, a 

woman is a major political party’s presidential nominee. No matter 

your political views, this is a historic moment for America. 

And it’s just one more example of how far women have come on 

the long journey toward equality. 

I want all of our daughters and sons to see that this, too, is 

their inheritance. I want them to know that it’s never been just 

about the Benjamins; it’s about the Tubmans too. And I want 

them to help do their part to ensure that America is a place where 

every single child can make of her life what she will. 

That’s what twenty-first century feminism is about: the idea 

that when everybody is equal, we are all more free.

“I didn’t even 

have an 

address” 

On a frigid seven-degree night last year, Brooke Evans, 

23, entered the University of Wisconsin library in 

Madison, stomping her feet in her worn Adidas to get the 

feeling in her toes back. She made a beeline to room 1250, 

grabbed a bunch of magazines, Glamour included, and 

when no one was looking, tore out the perfume samples— 

Dior, Calvin Klein, Jimmy Choo. For a few brief moments, 

the philosophy and neurobiology student imagined 

herself like the women in those 

pictures or a carefree Wisconsin 

Badgers fan...Brooke without 

all the mess in her life. And 

then she stashed the pages in 

her knapsack and headed out to 

her car. She and her cat, Kiki, 

would spend the night there. 

Evans was homeless. She has 

been, on and off, for six years— 

ever since she started college. 

By Liz Brody 

Photograph by Jonno Rattman 

Her story is not all that rare. True, most students 

who’ve seen her walk the quad with her Gray’s Anatomy 

and The Confessions of St. Augustine don’t know that she 

often couldn’t shower, had to rub her sweatshirt with 

those magazine swatches, and subsisted on cans of cold 

cream-of-mushroom soup from the city food bank. But 

homelessness on college campuses is real, and on the rise. 

More than 59,000 applicants for federal aid identified 

as homeless in the 2015 school year, nearly double those 

who did in 2009. And experts say that the actual number 

is much larger. Two recent studies—one of the California 

State University system and the other of community colleges 

nationwide—found that more than one in 10 students 

are dealing with some kind of homelessness. The reasons 

are complicated. Some students don’t know aid is available 

or how to apply for it. And aid itself, research shows, often 

falls short, because at most public four-year institutions, 

it’s not keeping up with tuition increases or living expenses. 

“Also, more low-income students are now going to college, 

in part because they know they need a degree to get a good 

job,” says Sandy Baum, who has analyzed tuition and aid 

trends for the College Board. That’s a good thing, but it 

means “more people are financially vulnerable,” she says. 

Like Evans, many of these young women and men have 

little to no family support. But Evans refuses to give up. “I

still remember being pulled aside in kindergarten and told 

I’d gotten into the gifted program and thinking, Oh my God, 

no matter how fat and poor or ‘white trash’ I am, I will always 

be smart—I might be able to get out of here,” she says. “If 

college is only for people who can afford it, then we’re only 

reproducing the same inequalities we’re supposed to be 

equalizing by getting an education.” 

“I wasn’t welcome back home” 

Evans’ mother (who asked Glamour not to use her name) is 

the first to admit she hasn’t been there for her daughter all 

the time. She struggled with drinking until Evans was about 

12. “I had the disease of alcoholism,” she says, “and it was all 

about me. Brooke was in my way. I constantly looked at my 

watch as she talked; I didn’t want to hear her. I wasn’t interested 

in her or her ideas.” Evans says her father left when she 

was six (“the best thing that ever happened”), which meant 

she and her two older brothers often ate fried hamburger 

buns with sugar for dinner, “to make it seem fancy,” while 

their mom worked in a foundry, making just $61 a month 

above the federal poverty level. Evans, who by age 13 had 

started working after school to help make ends meet, always 

assumed she’d go to college. So at 18, when the University of 

Wisconsin in La Crosse accepted her, she drove 200 miles 

from Waukesha only to discover that, even at an affordable 

state school, she’d need at least $13,500 a year to cover tuition 

and room and board. “I never thought about how I was 

going to pay for it,” she says. “It was such a small world where 

I came from. I didn’t know to apply for financial aid or scholarships, 

and ended up taking out loans.” 

In La Crosse she got jobs—at a home-improvement 

chain, a food co-op, a disability center—to cover her car 

costs, phone service, and health insurance. But when the 

dorms closed at Thanksgiving, she had nowhere to go. 

Too ashamed to tell friends, she got through that break by 

staying with acquaintances from church, but when school 

ended for the summer, it was even tougher. “My mom had 

made it clear I wasn’t welcome back home,” says Evans. 

One night she drove to a homeless shelter but parked in 

the far corner of the lot. “I couldn’t make myself go inside,” 

she says. So she climbed in the backseat of her 2000 Chrysler 

Sebring and finally fell asleep—something she would 

get very used to. “I remember washing under my arms in 

the public library once when a mother with her little girl 

walked in and looked at me,” she says. “I wanted to explain 

myself, but I couldn’t speak. I realized I was the epitome of 

everything she didn’t want for her daughter.” Looking back, 

Evans’ mother says, “I probably knew Brooke was going to 

live in her car. I worried about her safety. But I didn’t know 

how to talk to her. I have a lot of regrets about that.”

Talk / In the News 

“I went downhill really fast” 

What kept Evans going was her studies, and after 

her sophomore year, she transferred to the University 

of Wisconsin in Madison in search of a better 

academic fit. By then she knew to apply for financial 

aid, but the math got uglier: In the fall of 2012, Evans 

received a combination of work-study and grants 

totaling $6,367; her tuition was $5,193. The roughly 

$1,174 remaining had to pay for food, housing, utilities, 

car costs, health supplies, phone and Internet 

service, laundry, textbooks, and lab fees, but in Madison 

the $1,174 would barely cover a studio apartment 

for one month. 

Couch-surfing at first, Evans looked for a job but 

was unsuccessful. What she did find, not far from 

campus, was Kiki, a tiny stray like herself. “I tried to 

give her away, but I quickly realized I loved her,” she 

says. After a while she started sneaking Kiki into the 

library bathroom in her knapsack during the day. 

There she’d wedge herself into the tiled corner of the 

disability stall, where others couldn’t see her, and doze 

a bit. At night she’d be back in her Sebring, the trunk 

filled with food from the city pantry. “I had a couple 

of blankets—one quilted by the ladies at church 

back home,” she says. “Kiki would climb on my chest, 

and we’d wrap ourselves up like a burrito in the back. 

Then, on my high school laptop, I’d pull up a YouTube 

video of a crackling fireplace to put my mind in a 

warm place and try to make myself feel normal.” 

Evans had nightmares about vermin, but the 

Sebring was her only haven: “My car became my 

family. It became like a mom,” she says. “If I stayed 

somewhere else, I would worry about her.” 

Her studies piled up, as did her depression and 

anxiety. Evans says that when she approached 

counselors at the school about her situation, they 

suggested she didn’t belong there, that maybe she 

should come back when she could pay. “I would 

imagine that Brooke did meet some resistance,” says 

UW–Madison’s dean of students, Lori Berquam. 

“None of us knew homelessness was that much of 

an issue then. And also, maybe there was the school 

pride of ‘Madison is doing really well, and that’s not a 

problem on our campus.’ ” It’s a common blind spot, 

according to John B. King, U.S. Secretary of Education. 

“Unfortunately many institutions do not 

appreciate the number of students they have who are 

homeless or food insecure,” he says. 

Evans fell to a new low on May 19, 2013, when the 

school dropped her because of her failing grades; she 

would not be able to reapply for a year. “My world,” she 

says, “was in shambles.” 

“To be a dropout? You’ve lost 

your only shot” 

That next year Evans hit the skids. She donated 

plasma for cash, and “I had sex with men who said I 

could sleep on their couch,” she admits, “which I’m 

so angry at myself for now, but when you’re that desperate, 

you don’t make the best decisions.” Finally, 

after she posted on Facebook that she needed a 

place to stay, one of her freshman professors, Joseph

Van Oss, saw her pleas and offered his home in La 

Crosse. “It was so calm,” says Evans. “It felt like the 

twilight zone. I felt safe for the first time. And that’s 

when I decided to become an activist.” 

On May 14, 2014, she went back to UW–Madison 

to reapply, armed with a huge stack of papers. “By the 

grace of something, they readmitted me,” she says. 

“I’m gonna cry, just remembering it. It’s hard to be 

homeless in college. But to be homeless as a dropout? 

Then you’ve lost your one opportunity. Your only shot. 

Getting readmitted was probably the most beautiful 

moment in my whole life.” 

At school again, still living in her car, she started 

speaking out about her homelessness and writing for 

the college newspaper under a pseudonym. Then, in 

November 2014, at a student government meeting 

where members were debating funding a campus 

pantry she had proposed, she realized she had to go 

public. “The comments were so negative,” she says. “I 

knew I had to get over my pride or this project would 

fail.” At the next meeting, before the final vote, she 

stood up and revealed that she was the person behind 

all the articles. “My story just poured out,” she recalls. 

“It was so cathartic. After I finished, people came up 

to hug me. And they voted yes to fund the project.” 

The pantry opened this year, and Evans has since 

spoken both at the White House and on Capitol Hill.

cafeterias to accept food stamps and a plan 

to offer free mailboxes to UW–Madison students

really been a leader,” says UW–Madison’s Berquam. 

“And on a UW level, she has been beyond a leader.” 

Evans’ mother, now back in her daughter’s life (both 

have worked to make that happen), says, “I am so 

proud of her.” 

But personally, Evans says, “I’m not out of the 

woods.” Although she now has an apartment, she’s 

worried about September’s rent and has nearly 

$70,000 in student loans. Barbara Duffield, director 

of policy and programs at the National Association 

for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, 

stresses the psychological toll for someone like Evans: 

“If you’ve had a lot of trauma in your childhood—and 

lived not knowing where you’re sleeping or where your 

next meal is coming from—there’s a deep fear and 

instability that always stays with you.” 

This spring, when Glamour visited, Evans took us 

to her Sebring, now parked in an alley. She hesitated 

before opening the door and crawling into the backseat. 

And then, for a long time, she sobbed. “No one,” 

she said, “has ever been inside.” 

She’s taking things one day at a time as she focuses 

on getting her bachelor of arts degree next May. “I’ve 

been living in such crisis mode I’m not sure what the 

future really holds,” she says. “But I will continue to do 

this work so people like me can say, ‘I belong here.’ I’m 

not invisible. I’ve always been looking for my voice, 

and I think I’ve found it now.”

omen rule. Figuratively (they don’t call her Queen 

Bey for nothing) and literally (a record number now 

serve in Congress). It’s shaping up to be the Year of the Woman 

at the Olympics too, with more female athletes competing than 

ever before in Rio, Zika be damned. 

Yes, women have come a long way over the past several decades. 

(So has this magazine: The September 1956 issue said, we regret 

to quote, “A woman can’t make a million dollars.” Oh, and this: 

“Ambition is an admirable thing in a young man.… But just try 

ambitious in front of the word woman. And what do you see? A 

grim, single-minded dame with a ride-hard compulsion.” Shivers.) 

Today young women are more educated, more racially 

diverse (with 43 percent now identifying as nonwhite), and, 

in a big middle finger to the persistent wage gap, more affluent. 

We’re also more giving than past generations (84 percent of 

working millennials donated to charity in 2014); unabashedly 

more feminist (seven in 10 now say that’s an empowering word); 

and more tolerant (68 percent support gay marriage, up from 44 

percent in 2004). 

More. Women are now more: more confident, more inclusive, 

more all the things women probably always wanted to be, except 

fools blocked their way and stereotypes held them back. And 

despite the still-challenging world we live in, we are also now 

more hopeful about our power to make change happen. 

The truth is, there is no one “American woman”; we are many. 

Turn the page. Check us—you!—out. Aren’t we awesome?

And finally, our cover model: Bella Hadid! Yes, she’s got a famous 

family, a major modeling career, and a chart-topping boyfriend, 

but, in her words, “I’ll always be a weird, funky kid 

from Malibu.” By Abby Haglage 

Photographs by Nathaniel Goldberg Fashion editor: Jillian Davison 

ella Hadid is laughing—something the model, 

who’s usually so serious in photos, actually does 

a lot. “Don’t watch,” the 19-year-old shouts to the 

Glamour crew packing up the remains of her photo 

shoot. “It’ll be better for everyone!” Then, as Hadid’s 

favorite song, “Stray Cat Strut,” begins, she lets 

loose—lip-synching the lyrics “Wild stray cat, you’re a 

real gone guy.” In this moment Hadid is not a member 

of the Balmain army or of Givenchy’s gang. She’s just a 

“punk kid” fake-singing a 1980s rock song. She’s herself. 

It’s the perfect way to capture the supermodel revolution that’s 

now under way: Models, once pretty girls who silently walked 

the runway, are now bona fide personalities driving the cultural 

zeitgeist forward, one social media post at a time. Hadid, 

a prime example, is making a name for herself in and out of the 

fashion industry. She’s walking runways (Chanel, Fendi), landing 

campaigns (Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs), and inking major 

ambassador deals (Dior Beauty). But she’s also making headlines 

at Cannes for her own personal style, showing up on Keeping 

Up With the Kardashians, starring in a music video with 

glamour.com 291

Grammy-winning boyfriend The Weeknd, and racking up 5.3 

million Instagram followers who come for #TBT photos of Hadid 

with model sister Gigi, among other things. 

Hadid has done all of it while battling chronic Lyme disease, a 

debilitating illness her mom, Yolanda Foster, and brother, Anwar, 

also have. But Hadid wants to be defined by a career she can 

control, not by an illness she can’t. At a lobster joint nearby, we discussed 

her epic ascent. 

GLAMOUR: You’ve gone from college student to “model of the 

moment” in under two years. What has that transition been like? 

BELLA HADID: I don’t walk down the street like, “I’m famous.” It’s 

still weird to me when people ask for pictures. My close friends 

from high school keep me grounded—they don’t care about what 

I do. I’m still the same person I was, and I try hard not to change. 

GLAMOUR: What made you decide to leave school? 

BH: Gigi [who’s a year older] had already started modeling when I 

moved to New York to study photography. I met with [her agency] 

IMG. I started modeling and was working almost every day, learning 

more with photographers on set than I was in school. Even now 

I’m going to Europe by myself. I’ve got a lot of responsibility. 

GLAMOUR: Does it ever get lonely traveling by yourself? 

BH: It does. Even though you’re in Paris and London, at the end of 

the day, you come home and you’re by yourself. Sometimes I break 

down and cry. But once I am done with a full month in Europe, I 

step back and think, I’m so lucky. 

GLAMOUR: You mentioned Gigi. The story about how you dyed your 

hair brown to distinguish yourself from her is ubiquitous. Do you 

feel like blond is off-limits for you now? 

BH: Well, I didn’t really dye my hair to separate 

myself from Gigi. I started dyeing my hair 

when I was 14. I dyed it black and blue, I wore 

eyeliner—I was a punk kid. I might want to go 

blond eventually! 

GLAMOUR: Some people have called you the 

Mary-Kate to her Ashley. Do you guys feel as 

close as twins? 

BH: I don’t know about twins, but we’re definitely 

a lot more similar than people think. We 

have the same voice, the same mannerisms. 

Sometimes we’ll finish each other’s sentences, 

or we’ll be the only people laughing. 

We’ve always been close. As kids, especially 

on weekends, our mom would drive us to the 

barn at 6:30 A.M., and we would spend the day 

together riding our horses, and washing and 

cleaning them. 

GLAMOUR: How did you react when you heard that Stephanie Seymour 

had said Gigi and Kendall Jenner should be called “bitches 

of the moment” rather than “supermodels”? 

BH: It’s crazy. I’ve worked with Stephanie before and loved her; she 

was sweet to me. I don’t know if she meant it in that mean way. But 

even so, it’s still hurtful. My sister and Kendall work their asses off. 

We’re all working hard. You just have to let your success speak for 

itself…because at the end of the day, we’re making our money. 

GLAMOUR: The best revenge is your paper, right? 

BH: Yeah. [Laughs.] I don’t want anybody to fail. Why would you 

wish that upon somebody? If you’re a powerful woman and you’re 

The Man She Knows “I’m proud of 

The Weeknd and the music he makes,” 

says Hadid. “But I love Abel.” 

confident in yourself, you want other people to succeed. 

GLAMOUR: What are you thinking about when you’re modeling? 

BH: You have to have emotion in your eyes; you don’t want to look 

dead. [Laughs.] I listen to music. I think about my boyfriend. 

GLAMOUR: That would be Abel Tesfaye, a.k.a. The Weeknd. You 

made your red-carpet debut together at the Grammys. Why then? 

BH: It was a big night for him. He has worked so hard, and he did so 

well that night. As a girlfriend I wanted to be there to support him. 

Seeing him so happy when he won a Grammy made me so happy. 

GLAMOUR: So here’s the thing: Are you dating Abel or The Weeknd? 

BH: I’m dating Abel. I don’t see him as The Weeknd. I’m proud of 

The Weeknd and the music he makes, but I really love Abel. 

GLAMOUR: Your mom revealed last October that you suffer from 

Lyme. Were you worried about her making that public? 

BH: Definitely. People are really mean about it. They always say 

that I don’t have what I have—but it’s taken a toll on my life since 

I was 15. I’ll occasionally get comments now like, “How do you 

have this disease if you’re working every day?” But I didn’t want 

it to hold me back anymore. I’m still 19; I still have a life and 

things to do. 

GLAMOUR: What does having Lyme actually feel like? 

BH: It starts with brain fog; for a while I couldn’t put sentences 

together. I’m really tired a lot. A few weeks ago I had a big campaign 

shoot that I had to reschedule. It’s hard, but I push through, because 

at the end of the day, if you’re not working, somebody else is. 

GLAMOUR: Where did you get your work ethic? 

BH: My parents; they’ve always been hard workers. I started working 

when I was about 14 at a juice place, making juices, acai bowls. 

I cashiered. I cleaned dishes—and like 100 blenders—for hours. 

GLAMOUR: Your mom has been your guiding 

force in many ways. 

BH: My mom’s always who I go to when I’m 

feeling really sad…on the days when I’ll 

read 10 good comments and one awful comment—and 

still get down on myself about the 

one [negative]. 

GLAMOUR: Do we, as women, do that more 

often than men? 

BH: Humans are humans. If somebody’s 

mean to you, it’s not gonna feel good—no 

matter if you’re a man or a woman. I’m really 

proud to be a woman. I love that women can 

be feminine but also powerful. You know, free 

the nipple! 

GLAMOUR: [Laughs.] Are you a fan of the Free 

the Nipple movement? 

BH: I mean, my mom is European. My whole family is European. 

We were always very comfortable with our bodies. It’s fine if you 

don’t want to show your body like that. But if a woman wants to 

show her body, I’m all for it. Everybody loves a little nip. 

GLAMOUR: Would you ever free the nipple, or would Mom be mad? 

BH: I think Instagram might be madder than my mom. [Laughs.] 

But you know, one day. One of these days—I’ll tag you. 

GLAMOUR: What else does the future hold for you? 

BH: I want to keep modeling. I want to give back to the world. In 

five years I would love to be just really happy.

DALE: COURTESY OF RENEE DALE 

(Continued from page 194) and what I 

wanted; that gave me the impulse to simplify 

and disguise myself. I worried more 

about being chosen than by whom. I don’t, 

however, admit to her that my quest for 

“perfect” love continued until I was in my 

midthirties. How to someday explain to 

my daughter this labyrinthine fairy tale 

in all its grown-up complexity—leaving 

her father, whom I loved, and marrying 

her stepfather—still eludes me. I think 

she might see it simultaneously as an act 

of self-preservation, as a feminist act, as 

selfish—as I see it too. She is already a complicated 

girl herself, fathoms deep with 

knotty feelings. And though I worry for 

my son about all kinds of things, this is not 

one of them. Right or wrong, I confess, I’m 

most determined to show my daughter that 

she should never hide from herself. 

Brendan and I were married on a sultry 

July Wednesday in Charleston, South 

Carolina. Our four kids—his two and 

mine—each spoke at the ceremony. His 

son and my son were the groomsmen; his 

daughter and mine were bridesmaids. 

Blossoms were woven into their blond 

braids to match my flower crown. The 

day exists in my memory like a snow globe 

filled with golden light and Spanish moss. 

Our life is bursting with the parenting 

of our four kids, our careers, and all the 

administrative drudgery of a family of 

six, but Brendan is always smiling when 

he walks through our door. He is always 

proud I’m his wife, which is the best and 

hottest thing I’ve ever felt. We speak the 

same way and have been in our endless 

kinetic conversation for decades. Whatever 

cosmic place Brendan is from, I’m 

from there too. 

And Jay is fulfilled now as well: For 

some years he’s had the loveliest partner. 

She makes him happy in 

ways I could never figure out. 

She is a smart, accomplished 

mother of three who has 

become my friend; I love 

that my kids have her in 

their lives. Jay is still the 

kindest man and father. He 

makes me laugh every day. Brendan and 

he both do, as promised 23 years ago. They 

even make one another laugh, often at my 

expense. I don’t mind. The three of us just 

sat together at my son’s elementary school 

graduation, and I watched as, on either 

side of me, their eyes filled with proud tears 

when he was handed his diploma. 

Jay has forgiven me for changing the 

course of his life. For changing my mind 

in the most painful of ways. He will be 

my friend until we die—and not remotely 

because we are bound by children. After 

all, a biological event isn’t proof you ever 

He has forgiven me for 

changing the course of his life. 

For changing my mind in the 

most painful of ways. 

liked your spouse, and I like Jay so very 

much. But it’s Brendan, my husband now, 

who reflects the things I am and always 

was—the things I want to be desired and 

loved for. He likes that I’m not easy. He is 

patient with my guilt, even when it gets 

in the way of our life, when my focus is 

backward on the pain I caused instead 

of forward. He has always been strong 

enough for the weather I bring with me. 

I am ashamed that during my marriage 

to Jay I wanted him to fix me, to change 

me into a woman who was agreeable and 

smooth, as he was. And more ashamed 

for blaming him when he couldn’t do it. 

For this—expecting Jay to heal all the 

things wrong with me and resenting 

him for failing—I will not forgive myself. 

I hurt people deeply. I hurt my children. 

And Brendan and I have mourned this, 

together and alone. 

When I ended my marriage, I saw the 

truth about myself. That what I wanted 

was not what I’d thought. I wanted to 

reveal myself more, not less. I wanted to 

become better but not transformed. When 

I did the picking and stopped waiting to be 

picked, I recognized what had been right 

in front of me—Brendan, myself, our 

whole life. We were right there, 

growing roots all around 

each other until, finally, we 

became intertwined.

That September 

fresh-start feeling. 

Actual paper books. 

Magazines too. ;) Oh, 

and handwritten notes. 

Capital-C Choice. 

Jon Snow. 

The beloved, 

possibly-in-shreds 

security object that 

got you through 

childhood. And 

(yeah, us too) 

adolescence. All 

right, also last night. 

That inalienable female 

right: excellent 

drugstore mascara. 

His-and-hers orgasms. 

Not necessarily in that order. 

Brunch. (Back off, haters.) 

The sentence “I love you.” 

The Tinder-proof 

belief that true love 

and great sex can 

happen together. 

Mick Jagger. 

Toni Morrison. 

Betty White. 

Minis, hoodies, 

sparkly jewelry, and 

tiny tattoos. Fall 

2016 and forever.
