From Me to You
Women
and Power:
What Happens Next?
On the morning of November 8,
I got up, jogged to the gym,
and cheerfully chatted with
the woman working the earlybird
shift at the front desk. I
asked if she got time off to
vote. “Oh, I’m taking time off
to vote today,” she said—it was
that important to her.
It was important to me too. An hour later I proudly
posted a picture of the
various women who raised
me, saying that I was
casting my vote on behalf
of all of them. I thought
especially of my mother,
who died when I was 19, a
pioneering woman who
worked in the mostly male
field of biochemistry (and
still managed to be home
by 6:00 most nights—wish
she were around for me to
ask for tips on that).
She would have loved casting her
vote for a woman. Later, as I took my
family—including my 14-year-old
daughter—off to NYC’s Javits Center for
the evening to watch what we thought
would be a historic moment for women
of all political stripes, I was wearing
my suffragette T-shirt and my mother’s
pearl earrings.
We all know how that story ended.
Now, I’m not breaking out the
Kleenex over the fact that my candidate
lost. Poli tics is big-girl-pants territory: If
you’re not ready to lose, don’t get in the
game. But to many young women (who
voted for Hillary Clinton 2 to 1), this was
not a regular loss; it was a surreal bad
joke in which a woman who has worked
her whole life for one goal gets close, is
knocked down, works hard again, and
finally, just as the movie-peak coronation
scene is about to happen—as pollsters all
agree it will this time—BAM! The entire
country gives her an epic head fake and
goes for the other guy.
I will leave it to the thousands of history
books sure to be written about this
election to sort out how much of a factor
gender ultimately was, or wasn’t, in the
outcome. But on the morning of November
9, it really looked like America just
didn’t want to have a female president.
Just hours into processing that, I got a
query from a news outlet looking for comment:
“Was there something women
didn’t relate to about Hillary? Why did
they find her less likable than Donald
Trump?” The questions made me want to
put my fist through the computer screen.
First, for how simplistic they were; the
results of this election show deep divisions
in how Americans see this country—
profound rifts around issues of race,
immigration, income. The idea that the
results could have been swayed if Clinton
had only worn more pink, or smiled more,
or not made some random comment 25
years ago about not staying home to bake
cookies, seems like wishful thinking at
best, female-blaming at worst. (It’s
insulting to female Trump supporters
too—most of whom I assume had more
meaningful reasons for voting for their
candidate than just “Hilz doesn’t seem
like someone I wanna get a beer with.”)
But beyond that, the questions stung

Moving Forward
What women do best
“What I
know now”
Women of different viewpoints on
their election 2016 epiphanies
because the idea of “likability” (whatever
that is) is in and of itself deeply, painfully,
inextricably gendered. We simply
do not require our male candidates to be
as likable as our female ones. Research
proves it: Voters will support a man they
don’t particularly like if they believe he
is right for the job. Trump, for instance,
was disliked by 20 percent of the people
who cast votes for him. But when
it comes to women running for office,
studies indicate, voters demand a very
specific cocktail of both competence and
likability.
All of which makes it particularly
galling that it’s so damn hard for a lady
candidate to be considered likable to
begin with. It’s not that our culture has
a problem with powerful women necessarily;
this is 2016, and there are plenty of
well-liked Sheryl Sandbergs and Shonda
Rhimeses to show otherwise. But we may
actually be more cool with women
having power than with women
seeking power: Research
shows that when females campaign
for office—or otherwise
lobby for promotion—their
“likability” takes a hit. (Clinton’s approval
ratings were just fine back when she was
secretary of state, after all; it was when she
openly strove for the next level that they
started to drop.) The hard-to-ignore message?
We may still have issues with women
openly admitting they want power, be it in
the form of votes or even a raise.
That disturbing observation could
really mess you up if you let it. (How are
we ever going to get anywhere if we’re
not supposed to be caught trying?) So
my suggestion is that you don’t let it.
Let’s resolve to redefine likability to
include women who want things, badly,
for themselves and for others. I liked Hillary
Clinton’s doggedness, and I like the
determination it takes for any woman to
go for a promotion, seek a better salary, or
run for office, as many times as it takes.
So go do it already! I’d like to vote for
you someday, and I’ve already got my outfit
all picked out.
Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief
@cindi_leive
That we all need to get
outside our bubbles
The fact that the election results
caught liberal women by surprise
makes S.E. Cupp, a conservative
commentator and Glamour
contributor, think that “instead of
protesting and hurling insults, both
sides need to understand each
other better,” she says.
“Disappointed in the election, a
liberal friend in New York asked if I
knew of any women’s groups that
brought thoughtful conservatives
and liberals together; I was sad
and surprised that I didn’t. But
it’s a great idea. Make a new friend
from the other side of the aisle.”
That “lesser” sexual
assaults are still assaults
The issue of consent was a huge
one during the election—and
Natasha Stoynoff, the former
People writer who came forward in
October with an account of being
sexually assaulted by Donald
Trump, thinks the awareness is a
lasting positive. “Groping a
woman’s body without consent is…
so common that many women may
not even categorize [it] as sexual
assault. I never did,” she admits.
“But the truth is, these are crimes.
The more aware we are of that—
and the more we speak up—the
better chance we have of
preventing these actions that chip
away at the self-esteem of women
of all ages.”
That if you want to fight
for women’s rights, fight
Robyn Moreno, the editorial
director of Latina, is one of many
women worried about what a
Trump presidency will mean to
people of color. “But the Buddhists
say pain puts you on the path to
awakening,” she says. “We have
been stunned into awakening; now
we must stay woke. The upside of
this horrid election is that for many
of us, we have found our voice and
we must use it!” Actress and
Glamour contributor Amber
Tamblyn puts it this way: “Don’t be
afraid of what’s to come. We know
our power, and we can’t unknow
that now.”

accurately shows what working in law
enforcement is all about [“This Is My

It’s a tough job that needs to be profiled

You promote paid maternity leave in “Hillary
Takes Your Questions,” but please
consider the consequences such a policy
could lead to. It’s difficult for a small
employer to pay an employee who’s not
working—and hire a replacement. Most
new businesses struggle to make it into
the black each month; maternity leave
policies are important, but let’s consider
how to counter the cons before signing on
to them wholeheartedly. —Elle LaHoya,
East Grand Rapids, Mich.
I was very disappointed to read Cindi
Leive’s article encouraging support for
Hillary Clinton. I thought this was a magazine
for all women and not a political
magazine or forum. If this is a magazine
for all women, then all content should
remain neutral and unbiased for women
to decide for themselves. I am able to reason
and think for myself. No one cares
about your political opinion. —Nancy
Greener, Aurora, Ill.
Kudos to Cindi Leive for sharing her political
views. This election is different, and I
see it every day in my classroom as a government
teacher. I’m proud to subscribe to
a magazine that is brave enough to share
the views of its editor-in-chief, even if it
might cost readers who have different
views. Our willingness to respectfully
disagree with others is one of the many
reasons America is already great.
—Lauren Donnenfeld, Alpharetta, Ga.

Thank You, FLOTUS!
For your example. For your authenticity. And most of all,
for your damn good advice.
ichelle Obama is a hugger. We at Glamour
learned this back in 2007, when we first
met her on the campaign trail for her husband,
then senator Barack Obama. She
extended her arms along with a smile.
In the 10 years that have followed, Mrs. Obama has sat down
with Glamour five more times—most recently on the International
Day of the Girl this past fall. (Girls worldwide joined via
Skype and asked FLOTUS, whom one called “the First Lady
of the World,” their questions about confidence, her Let Girls
Learn initiative, and her favorite novel.) By her words and
example, she’s taught women and girls everywhere to be proud
of their intelligence, to speak their minds, and to advocate for
themselves and others. (She also nails the fashion thing; see
page 100.) As she leaves the White House, we’re revisiting
her best Glamour moments. What will Mrs. O do next? One
request: Memoir, please!
On nailing a job interview: “We, as women, don’t like to
talk about ourselves. This is one time where you have to brag
a little bit. You’ve got to pump your chest out. You’ve got to
[wheel] out your bag of goodies. You’ve got to pull yourself
out of the team and shine a light on yourself.” —May 2015
On prioritizing yourself: “I have always tried to put my kids
first and then…put myself a really close second, as opposed
to fifth or seventh. One thing that I’ve learned from male
role models is that they don’t hesitate to invest in themselves,
with the view that, if I’m healthy and happy, I’m
going to be a better support to my spouse and children. And
I’ve found that to be the case.” —December 2009
On reframing labels: “Aggressive. That’s the word that
[has] been used for me often. Too aggressive, too loud, too
bossy…. Well, aggressive is assertive. Loud is confidence.
It’s how you take those words. Maybe they were said to you,
or about you, in a negative light, but you turn them around
and you make them positive attributes. Because, let me tell
you, to compete…you’re going to have to be aggressive. And
you’ve got to be confident. And there are times when you
need to be loud and speak your mind. I’ve had to do that in
every room of power that I’ve sat in.” —October 2016
On finding an equal partner: “[Barack] was always special,
you know? And not special, like, He’s gonna be important,
he’s gonna be president. He was special in terms of his honesty,
his sincerity, his compassion for other people. Cute’s
good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are
you as a person? Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look
at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his
mother and what he says about women…and, more important,
how does he treat you?” —December 2009

Bathleisure:
It’s a Thing
So long, yoga pants. Fashionistas are all
about bathrobes and PJs. So: yea or nay?
Picture this: You’re walking down the street, wearing nothing
but a slept-in blowout, your favorite house shoes, and
a loosely belted bathrobe. A dream for some, a nightmare
for others, and now a very silky reality. After Burberry sent
models down its fall 2016 catwalk in layered “dressing
coats,” style stars like, at right, Kim Kardashian West (at the
Givenchy spring-summer 2017 presentation in Paris), Lily
James, and Jourdan Dunn quickly adopted the boudoirin-broad-
daylight look. Perhaps it’s because bathleisure,
as we’re officially calling it, is all about using fabrics (the
softest) and silhouettes (the sexiest) to celebrate femininity
and romance with just a touch of over-the-top luxury.
“There’s no denying the comfort,” says Glamour deputy art
director Victoria Ravest, here, who slipped into Burberry’s
fresh-off-the-runway outfit for cocktails in New York City.

Can You
Hear Me Now?
Sick of fumbling for your phone
every time it rings? Sgnl, whose
creators raised nearly $1.5 million
in 37 days on Kickstarter, is a
very Bond-esque solution. Just
attach this smart strap ($150–
$200, mysgnl.com) to any
existing watch face and, thanks
to Bluetooth, conduct conversations
through your actual finger.
(The sound turns into vibrations
that travel through your body.)
But does it work? A call made
from my cell to company project
manager Saemi Kim in South
Korea was remarkably clear and
interference-free. (Worry not: I
watched via Skype, and she was
truly hearing through her finger.)
Sgnl doesn’t launch here until
April, which gives you plenty of
time to decide which finger to
use when your ex calls. —Justine

You Reviewed It!
For this month’s Glamour book club, 15 readers dug into The Animators,
Kayla Rae Whitaker’s feisty, funny debut novel about
two filmmakers who are alternately kindred spirits and mortal
enemies. Our crowd of critics recaps: When they meet as art students,
Sharon is “a shy transplant by way of rural Kentucky”
and Mel “a badass lesbian with a drug problem,” but the pair is
bound by their art and “the trauma of childhood.” It feels like “a
mix of Beaches, Girls, and Thelma & Louise.” So, you know, a
“complicated,” “sensual, sexy” raw nerve of a “roller coaster”
through a “tumultuous” friendship. The novel’s best line? “You’re
gonna let the world happen to you, and you’re gonna love it.” One
reader summed it up this way: “If you let this story happen to
you, you’re gonna love it.” —Elisabeth Egan, books editor

Unedited
Undies,
Uncensored
As someone who routinely cuts the bows off
her lingerie—seriously, why are there always
bows?—I was stoked to discover Negative, a
brand for girls who don’t do girly. And starting
this month, you can buy a set of undies with
your own embroidered phrases ($85–$100 for
two, negativeunderwear.com). Think of the
possibilities: Bachelorette party gift? Try “Ride

Taking Notes From
Diana Gordon
“Before the Beyoncé thing, I hadn’t had something good happen
to me in a while,” says singer-songwriter Diana Gordon.
The “Beyoncé thing” she’s referring to: three writing credits on
the icon’s Lemonade, including one for “Sorry,” which launched
a nationwide witch hunt for “Becky with the good hair.” Now
Gordon, who previously performed under the name Wynter
Gordon, is putting the final touches on a “rebirth” album,
due out this spring. And if recent tracks are any indication —
“One hand on the pussy and the other on a Harley,” she spits on
“Woman”—she’ll be totally capturing the zeitgeist. But where
does she even get her material? “It comes up from the youth. It’s
like, what’s their language?” she says. “A lot of the best writers
say things people say already. It’s just not proper English.” TFW
someone finally gets me. —Justine Harman, senior editor
The All-Grown-Up
Anklet
The second I spotted a pair of mismatched
Mary Janes on Instagram, I emailed my most
fashionable friend, Danielle: “What are these
shoes with ankle cuffs?” She wrote back immediately:
“They’re not with the shoes exactly.
These girls run their own brand, Attico. So
they’re, like, ankle bracelets.” The “girls” are
Italian street-style stars Giorgia Tordini and
Gilda Ambrosio, and starting in January,
their silk-and-satin creations will be my very
own ankle chokers ($205–$330 per pair, my
theresa .com). Worst-case scenario: People
think I’m under house arrest. Well, then, how’d
I get into this sexy club, hmm? —J.H.

Three mini trends that

9
Round Glasses
Raey jacket ($381,

Krewe sunglasses ($255,

Rihanna, Irene Kim, and Kendall Jenner have gotten the memo: Chokers are back. One designer
reimagining them in a modern way is Los Angeles–based BreeLayne Carter, whose made-in-the-USA
clothing and accessories—like the netted nylon choker at left—are created from recycled materials.
Another basic denim jacket? Not if you go supersize and with a fresh color, from bright blue, like Hailey
Baldwin’s, to ultra faded, as seen on Zoë Kravitz (with a cozy faux-fur lining) and Kim Kardashian, to darker
washes, like the version at left by Raey, the in-house label from matchesfashion.com. So no, not basic at all.
Circular sunnies have always had a John Lennon–cool vibe, and today’s stars, like Selena Gomez and Gigi and
Bella Hadid, are showing off fresh takes on the iconic shape. As is Krewe, a New Orleans brand that honors
the city’s culture through its styles; the pair at left is inspired by the French Quarter’s wrought-iron balconies.

Our beauty editors
know exactly what they’ll
be trying this year!
1Mermaid
Eyes
The mesmerizingly pretty looks on the fashion runway
at Marc Jacobs, Rachel Comey, and, here, Jill Stuart are
a brighter, dreamier take on the dark and smoky
standard. Here’s how I’m pulling it off: Apply shimmery
purple on the inner halves of lids, blue on the outer halves,
green just below the eyes, and gold at the inner corners.
(Eye primer helps.) Blend with a fluffy shadow brush;
liner and mascara optional. (Watch a full how-to at
lipstick com/ makeup.) —Jennifer Mulrow, @jen_mulrow

Beauty / Biggest Ideas of 2017
2 Bangs, Baby
I have yet to venture into bangs territory—at least in my adult life. But
with celebs like Selena Gomez and Georgia May Jagger making the chop
(and looking this good), I’m calling my stylist this very moment. These are
a few of the styles I’m considering. —J.M.
SIDESWEPT
The gateway bang; keep
them superlong like Gomez’s.
LONG & BLUNT
Do like Jennifer Hudson and
taper the sides for drama.
SHORT & BLUNT
Pair mini bangs with long
waves, as at the Monse show.
LAYERED
Go for a piecey rock ’n’ roll
vibe like Jagger’s.
CHOPPY
Cut ’em straight across, as
at Zero + Maria Cornejo.
Do Your SKIN
New lightweight matte
finishing powders blend
right in and cut down
shine—without masking.
Try Nyx #nofilter Finishing
Powder ($12, nyx
cosmetics .com), which
comes in 15 shades. Focus
on the T-zone and avoid
the sides of your face
to prevent flat-looking skin.
38 glamour.com
The New
Matte
Sure, you can do the full-face matte makeup that’s all over
social media. But let’s be real: Matte everything can be a
little harsh in daylight. My approach is to focus on a single
feature at a time. —Katheryn Erickson, @kateeerickson
3 4 5
Or Your EYES
I’m feeling the nineties
all-matte-lids thing.
My product of choice is
the palette from
Urban Decay, above,
which contains 12
neutral matte
hues ranging from
creamy vanilla to
pastel mauve to rich
chocolate brown.
Urban Decay
Naked Ultimate
Basics palette
for eyes ($54,
sephora .com)
Or Your LIPS
Liquid matte lipsticks need
no introduction, but this
is new: powder lip color.
Apply a small amount
of CLE Cosmetics Melting
Lip Powder ($20,
clecosmetics.com) on top
of lip balm. It transforms
into a creamy texture
for a lightly stained effect.
Gorgeous!
6
Hair
for
Days
I first started noticing Joni
Mitchell–length strands
on the streets; then more
Rapunzel looks showed
up at Proenza Schouler’s
and Prada’s spring shows.
All of this made me regret
cutting my own very long
hair last spring. Now I want
it back! Here’s my plan.
A growth booster: specifically,
Nutrafol, which
has vitamin E and antiinflammatories
to help
grow thicker, healthier hair
(nutrafol.com)
Masks: Every other
wash, I use the Shu Uemura
mask, below, instead of
conditioner to keep ends
less prone to breakage.
Dry dustings: That’s
hairdresser lingo for
lightly trimming only the
frayed ends; I go every
six weeks. —K.E.

Everything
Lasers
If you’ve spent any time near a
Kardashian social media account,
you know that the world of lasers
(and other energy devices)
now includes everything from
neck-wrinkle treatments to,
er, vagina tightening (not
something I’m endorsing).
That said, I’ve seen laser
technology, and the results,
really improve in recent
years. I asked a trusted pro,
New York City dermatologist
Anne Chapas, M.D.,
what’s most popu lar right
now. Here, the treatments
I’d recommend to
friends. —Simone Kitchens,
@simonekitchens
7
A good entry treatment—and one
doctors like—is the Clear +
Brilliant laser, which improves
tone and texture. “It creates new
collagen and gives you a glow,”
Dr. Chapas says (about $600 per
session). For home treatments,
she suggests using Tria Age-
Defying Eye Wrinkle Correcting
Laser ($249, triabeauty.com)
daily for visible results.
8
If you’re doing regular morning underarm
shaves, constant leg-hair maintenance, and
routine bikini waxes—well, think of all the
other ways you could use that time. Recent
advances mean treatments work on almost all
skin types; five or six required treatments range
from $350 to $1,440 (variable by body area).
9
Skin
Resurfacing
You might be into the look of your scar—or not—
but some scar tissue can become so contracted
that it can make movement difficult, Dr. Chapas
tells me. She recommends a radio frequency microneedling
treatment called Intensif (from $750
per visit; expect one to three sessions).
10
Laser Hair Removal
Scar Therapy
Tattoo Removal
Ink regret? The reversal options have come a
long way. Lasers like PicoWay remove more ink
in one session by treating the area multiple
times, Dr. Chapas says (about $300 to $1,000
per visit; you may need a few sessions).
1The classic red lip—yeah, I’m into it. But this year I’m also all about stepping
things up. And I found the perfect inspo backstage at Jason Wu:
ombré—and a wearable ombré lip at that, not the extreme made-for-
Instagram-only variety. How to do it? Makeup artist Yadim layered
two mattes. Start with a bold red shade (he used Maybelline New York
Color Blur in Cherry Cherry Bang Bang, $9) along the perimeter of lips
to define the shape, then fill in the center with a brighter orangey tone
(try Maybelline New York The Loaded Bolds in Orange Danger, above,
$7, both at drugstores). For added punch (which I’ll probably skip for
the office), he finished with a glossy, vibrant orange highlight (one of
my favorites is Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in A-Go-Go, $20,
sephora .com). —Erin Reimel, @erin_reimel
1 Ombré
Fiery
Lips
12 Surf GirlBlonde
Visual proof that bleached hair works on anyone: Alexander Wang’s spring
show, where 18 models with wildly different styles—from close cropped to
choppy—all got their own version of the beachy look. To keep blonde bright,
I like Redken Blonde Idol Custom-Tone conditioner ($32, ulta.com). —J.M.

Hair
The Embellished Braid
I first saw this look on Shay Mitchell’s
Instagram, above. It’s a row of tiny
gold rings looped into a French
braid—delicate but also cool. (Ask
a friend for help at home!) Next I
clicked over to her hairstylist Chris
Appleton’s account and discovered
more ways to work in rings. For me: a
multibraid look, accented with mini
metal cuffs, below. —J.M.

The Belted Pony
Backstage at Tibi, it looked at first
as if they were doing just another
low-slung ponytail. Then I noticed
hairstylist Frank Rizzieri fastening
this long fabric over the base (over
an elastic); it fell to the same length
as the pony’s end. And then I saw the
buckle. I love belted anything—swimsuits,
jumpsuits. Now, apparently, I’ll
be belting my hair too. —Julianne
Carell, @juliannecarell

Dramatic Hair
Transformations
I’m all for it—and
you can do it with a wig.
Of course the person who’s
been nailing it these
days is Zendaya. Inspired
by her varying looks, I’m
shopping the options
at rickysnyc.com. —S.K.
THE CHIC MULLET
A dramatic multilayered cut
makes a stylish statement.

B.O.M.B.
Beauty
When vlogger Jackie Aina
challenged the YouTube
beauty community to post
tutorials using only blackowned
makeup brands (a.k.a.
B.O.M.B.), she wanted
contributions from all users.
“Just because you don’t wear
the same foundation shade
as me doesn’t mean you can’t
rock a blush from Fashion
Fair,” she explains. “We must
make room [for these brands].”
Well, the Internet is paying
attention. Search for the
videos on YouTube and you’ll
find women of all skin tones
playing with brands like Iman
and Black Opal. My personal
obsession: Black Up Mono
Eyeshadow in OAP 11M ($20,
sephora.com), an electric
blue I wear as eyeliner. —K.E.
16
Arts
& Crafts
Nails
When I saw these
blinged-out nails at
Balenciaga, I knew
I had to give them a
shot. The artist
responsible for them:
Mei Kawajiri, who
sources her gems
from craft stores like
Michaels. To do it:
Apply your polish,
then place your stone
using nail glue for
bigger gems or a drop
of topcoat for smaller
ones; let dry. Then,
more topcoat.
And voilà! You have
full-on nail
jewelry. —E.R.
THE CLASSIC BOB
Choose a blunt cut and bangs
for a sophisticated vibe.
THE WAVY LAYERS
Textured bends and pretty
grown-out highlights look soft
around the face.
THE SLEEK BOWL
The key to bowl-cut success:
high shine and polished,
curled-under ends.

Wellbeing / Anti-Resolution Special
for-you things in the world that if
you’ve given one of them a shot and
truly aren’t feeling it, let it go. Don’t
swap quinoa for doughnuts, but if
you prefer romaine to spinach, why
beat yourself up for it? You’re having
a damn salad!
It’s OK to Not Cook
We’ll admit it—cooking is good for
you. But plain and simple, it’s not
always an option, so chill out if you
find yourself reaching for that app
where you can order a meal using
just an emoji. Life happens. Plenty
of takeout joints offer options
loaded with veggies, lean proteins,
and whole grains. PS: Making
your own is not always the money
saver some people make it out to
be either. For example, Munchery,
which delivers in 12 states, offers
healthy heat-and-eat dishes such
as soba noodle or rosemary salmon
bowls (like the one at right, $12, at
munchery.com) for about as much
as it would cost to buy the ingredients
individually.
Dinner this good,
no cooking required?
Yes, please!
Don’t Freak Out
About Keeping a
Line-Item Budget
No, this isn’t about making 2017 the
year of massive credit card debt. But
if you’re trying to get your finances
in order (a resolution about 14 percent
of people make in the New
Year), general guidelines might do
you more good than obsessively
tracking every single cent you
spend. “Stressing over sticking to a
budget isn’t helping your financial
goals,” says Tonya Rapley, founder
of My Fab Finance. “What’s really
important is trying to save roughly
20 percent of your net income for
emergencies and keeping impulse
purchases to a minimum.” No
spreadsheet required.
Please Don’t
Use January 1 as
a Kickoff Date
Look, we get the appeal of the fresh
start that a new calendar offers.
Even
geniuses like
Albert
Einstein and
Tina Fey are
notorious
messy-deskhavers.
Now
you know.
But research shows it’s not the
first day of the year that holds
the power of change. Instead, it’s
whether you’re actually excited
by any of these goals you’re setting.
“Any occasion where you
think, This is my moment, and
I’m ready to go!—that’s when
you should seize the chance to
make a change,” says Norcross.
If that moment hits on the first
day of 2017, more power to you.
If it doesn’t, then press that
snooze button. Happy New Year,
everyone!
“Why I’m not making any
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS”
Arianna Huffington, founder of the new Thrive Global, a venture aimed at reducing stress, explains.
After launching a new
company in November, the
media mogul is full of
resolutions for 2017, right?
Nope. She’s forgoing them
altogether. Here’s why.
Because they set me up to fail…
I used to use the transition of the New Year as a tool
to make a fresh start. But that doesn’t work—at
least for me. I ended up breaking my resolutions,
feeling bad about it, and judging myself for it. It
turned into a New Year’s negative cycle. Not
exactly a great way to start the year.
…and they don’t encourage me.
I believe the best way to change behavior is through
micro changes rather than making pronouncements
and hoping our behavior falls into line. It’s about
baby steps. And when babies start walking, they fall.
And that’s fine! This New Year’s Eve I can enjoy the
moment—and champagne—without the guilt.

My First
Year
…after getting sober.
Or losing 210 pounds.
Or leaving an abusive
husband. Five women
(and one man!) tell
Kimberly Bonnell their
roller-coaster stories.
…After I Lost My Job
natasha Nyanin, 31, worked as
a health scientist in Atlanta—
until July 9, 2015, when she got
a call: “Your contract is terminated.”
The lady on the other end of the phone
said, “Don’t come in tomorrow.” I asked
her to repeat herself I was so shocked.
Later I cried, out of fear, frustration,
worry, abandonment. I had worked
there for seven years and was surprised
at how dispensable I was, even if I had
suspected I might be dismissed—people
had been let go over the years.
At the beginning I had days when I
felt deep down that everything would
work out; then I had moments when my
soul felt as though it had been injected
with lead, and I could not get out of bed.
My visa was running out—I’m from
Ghana—and I had an apartment I could
no longer afford.
I checked LinkedIn constantly and
contacted friends to circulate my résumé,
but I had to postpone my job search while
my green card was being processed. I
picked up odd jobs, like being an extra on
a TV set and dog sitting.
For my thirtieth birthday my friends
threw me a black-tie party. It was a glorious
evening. I was surrounded by people
who loved and believed in me, celebrating
in the midst of a shit storm! That night I
felt pure exhilaration and gratitude.
Their support helped me take a gamble
on a whim: I moved to New York City.
The first month was hard—I was sleeping
on a friend’s air mattress. For two months
after that, I subleased a room in Brooklyn
while I searched endlessly for a job. And

somehow, despite all the rejections, I felt
my creative impulses spark. I started to
write: a blog, poems, essays. With no luck
finding a full-time job, I became convinced
that I needed to make a freelance
career work. To build the world I want for
myself rather than bang on perpetually
closed doors.
I never imagined I could survive without
a regular job. Now, a little more than
a year later, I have more conviction than
ever that losing my job was one of the better
things to happen in my life. It has put
me on a creative path I might never have
had the courage to fully jump into. And I
don’t say this from a place of success—I’m
still couch surfing! But I have learned so
much: how to become my own PR, how to
pitch new projects. I’m in preproduction
for a podcast and a travel show.
It can be unsettling to no longer have
a steady paycheck, but I am a more compassionate
person having suffered this
upheaval, and that means I can be a better
friend, a better daughter, and a better
person. I am more fearless.
…Dating as a Trans Man
charlie Poulson, 25, is the founder
and director of a Los Angeles design
studio. About a year ago he started
dating with his newly expressed identity.
I’d already had top surgery and spent
three years taking testosterone before I
felt ready to date as a passing trans man.
(That means when people first see me,
they think of me as a man.) My first date
was with a woman I met through friends.
(I made us gluten-free macaroni and
cheese, and I could tell she was probably
into me when she suggested we “Ladyand-the-Tramp
this mac and cheese.”)
When I drove her home, I came out to her
as trans, in a panic. I can’t be totally comfortable
unless I’m being true to myself.
She was really sweet about it, but we
didn’t last.
Most of the women I’ve dated, I’ve met
through something transition-related, an
event or a group, so I usually don’t even
have to tell them I’m trans. When I do, a
lot of women don’t bat an eyelash, which is
probably my favorite reaction. A few have
seemed surprised and said things like,
“You look so manly!” They mean well, but
they make me feel like I’m supposed to be
or look a certain way. A better reaction?
“Tell me about your experiences around
that,” which could lead to more meaningful
conversations. A few women have been
totally inappropriate; they ask, “Do you
have a penis?” “Do you still have a vagina?”
“How big were your boobs?”
Then there’s been the whole issue of
sexuality: Early on I feared that if I dated a
lesbian, she would still see me as a woman
(albeit an incredibly butch one). But I also
worried that if I went to a straight bar to
talk to a (presumably) straight girl, I’d feel
like I had this taboo secret—even though
I wasn’t keeping being trans a secret!
This was all exhausting. I thought about
it more, and I began to understand that I
don’t care what someone’s sexual orientation
is. If we’re mutually into each other
and the relationship is healthy, then everything
else is just secondary.

Life / You, Me, We
…After Leaving an
Abusive Marriage
in 2014 Shacre Bennett, now 35, prestocked
her car with spare clothes
and documents, planning to finally
leave her abusive husband of 12
years for good. She lives in Delaware.
It was early on a weekend morning,
and I fled in the middle of an argument to
avoid being hit. I had to go to court as soon
as I could to get a protection order. I didn’t
have my children with me, and he wouldn’t
let me pick them up. When I finally got
them later that week, they asked if we were
going back home. I told them no.
Previously when I tried to leave, there
were battles, but I made up my mind not
to go back in spite of all the barriers, like
my finances, the legal fights, and where
my kids and I would live. If I had stayed, I
probably would be in my grave or in a mental
institution.
After we left, my children and I were in
a domestic violence shelter for a month. I
had good and bad days. I had to focus on
what was really important: I was free of
the years of chaos and turmoil.
The legal process was stressful and
exhausting. It took two years. It’s hard not
knowing what’s going to happen in the
court system with your children and not
knowing if you’ll have the finances to care
for them. All I wanted was to be divorced.
I’ve overcome so much, by the grace of
God. I was in church, I started therapy,
and I went to support groups; peer-to-peer
groups helped my kids. I took financial
classes with the Allstate Foundation. All
this gave me strength when I felt like life
was too tough.
I’ve found my voice over this year : The
more I spoke out, the more it helped me
heal. Leaving the marriage, I didn’t know
who I was; I was lost, angry, confused, and
Moving On
“I walked
away without
guilt or any
regrets,” says
Bennett.
depressed, and just downright felt like
nothing. For so many years all that negativity
resonated in my spirit. I had to train
myself to release those thoughts. Now I
know who I am: I am not a victim, but I’m
a survivor. I have the victory. To anyone in
an abusive situation: Don’t wait. Go get
help. There is life after domestic violence.
…After Weight-Loss
Surgery
ashley Max-Dixon, 31, a model
and mother of four in Columbus,
Ohio, had gastric bypass surgery
after her doctor told her she might not live
more than five years because of the health
risks associated with her weight.
I’ve been plus-size since I was 10 years
old. Food was like breathing air for me. I
couldn’t get enough of the good feeling
that came from eating.
So when my husband and I found out
that our son, Ayden, had autism, food was
my comfort. You have all these hopes for
your child, and to find out he has autism—
well, that diagnosis hits you.
I gained so much weight that I was
almost bedridden. When I hit 440 pounds,
the doctor told me I possibly had only five
years to live. I realized, I can’t keep eating
this way; Ayden is going to need me for a
really long time. He was my motivator.
The surgery was scary, but not compared
with what came next: For six weeks
“8 things
I learned
in my first
year of
being sober”
by Kristi Coulter, a writer
in Seattle. She has been sober
since June 2013 and chronicling
all about it at offdry.com.
1
I’m not incurably
tired. That fried
feeling I had
for years? It wasn’t
fatigue. It was a
chronic low-grade
hangover.
2
Alcohol is a depressant.
I knew this from
health class; I just didn’t
think it applied to
me personally. Turns out,
when I stop putting a
depressant in my body,
it gradually stops being
depressed. Who knew?
3
My favorite ice cream
flavor is banana. I
have tried thousands
of flavors at this
point—and somehow
I still wonder why
I’m not losing weight
from cutting out all
those wine calories.
4
I deserve that ice
cream, damn it. In the
past I had tried to quit
drinking by berating
myself for any slipup.
This time I give myself
prizes: manicures,
magazines, shoes.

I was on a liquid diet. It felt like forever,
especially when I was making spaghetti
for my family, then drinking a protein
shake. But I lost 50 pounds that first
month. In six months I was down 100
pounds. Every time I looked in the mirror,
I was like, “I want to buy something!
I look great!” I got new clothes for every
10 pounds I lost. What fit one week didn’t
fit the next!
Through it all I had to learn how to deal
with life without using eating as a crutch.
Relationships that were food-focused
revealed themselves—those people aren’t
in my life anymore, but that’s OK.
I can’t eat for comfort now ; it makes
me ill. I’m still learning coping methods
for dealing with my feelings, but I don’t
muffle them with food. It’s scary experi-
encing these emotions. Not everything
feels good, but at least it’s real.
I was most nervous about how the surgery
would affect my husband and me.
When I was 440 pounds, I’d think, He
probably thinks I am awful to look at;
he can’t love me. But he told me, “I have
always loved you. Your weight has never
been an issue.”
Three years after the surgery, I became
a plus-size fit model. It’s now my job not
to lose! I weigh 230 pounds, and I’m
healthy; I’m active. Last May I walked in
the Christian Siriano/Lane Bryant runway
show. Because of my surgery I am
accomplishing my dreams—and being
there for my son. I once mourned the
child I thought I lost, but I never lost him:
He has always been there, leading me.
…After a Loved One’s
Suicide
emily Hash was 28 when her husband,
Marine Sergeant Mitchell
D. Hash, died by suicide in their
Charlottesville, Virginia, home in 2015.
From the moment I met Mitch, he made
me laugh. He was fiercely funny and a little
bit odd, brilliant, with such a big heart.
We’d been married two years when he died.
I had been learning how to be a wife—
suddenly I had to learn how to be a widow.
That first night, my parents took me
home with them, and I never went back to
my house. I stayed there for nine months,
and my brother moved in too. Friends
from all walks of life showed up soon after
with nothing but love to give.
The first week, my mom made sure I
did not sleep in my bed alone: She had my
girlfriends rotate nights with me and hold
me while I cried. I was having a hard time
eating, so when my dad found out that
I’d drink smoothies, there was one in my
hand every day for a month. Simple gestures
like that mattered a lot.
One day I picked up from my house a
bag of things someone had packed for me.
They didn’t notice it had blood spattered
on the side. From then on I was terrified
of anything that had been in my bedroom.
I was also afraid of life without Mitch.
I witnessed Mitch’s death, so fear came
in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Everything was a trigger—noises,
the dark. I was afraid I would see his ghost
when the lights were out. C.S. Lewis said,
“No one ever told me grief felt so like fear.”
At times it felt like I’d imagined being
married, as if Mitch wasn’t even real.
Many months later a form of anger settled
in and hasn’t left. It’s easier to be mad
than to let real pain and hurt exist, so it’s
become a protective layer. I’ll work it out,
but I’m just not there yet.
Grief isn’t predictable, and a loss like
this never goes away. You don’t “get over it”;
you learn how to manage it in your life. I’m
trying not to rush myself. I write a lot—it
lets me process things in a way that speaking
out loud just can’t.
One of the hardest parts, which I still
struggle with, is dealing with people speculating
about why this happened. They
want a cause (“He was in the military”) or
a diagnosis (“She was bipolar”), but suicide
is not so easily understood. I think Mitch
kept his pain to himself partly because he
didn’t want to be a burden.
Since Mitch died, I’ve been humbled by
experiencing unconditional love. Mitch’s
fellow soldiers were by my side within days;
even now their tragedy assistance program
for survivors, TAPS, has been an irreplaceable
support. I cling to that relentless love
of my family and friends. It gives me peace
and hope that there is a lot of beautiful love
in this world to go around.
5
When in doubt, slow
down. When I want to
drink, I think, Whoa, Nellie,
and play a mental movie
of what actually happens,
always happens, after that
first glass. The movie
starts as a rom com and
ends as a tragedy.
6
Sober vacations feel
twice as blissfully
long as drinking ones.
How is this possible?
I still don’t know.
I assume a wonderful
wormhole is involved.
7
Life is not always easy.
Year one of my sobriety
included family troubles,
canceled flights, a
job change, and swine flu
(yes, the swine flu).
We all have common
human troubles…
8
…but alcohol never makes them
easier. At one especially tough
moment, when broaching the
topic of end-of-life planning with
my parents, I caught myself
saying “Thank God I’m sober”
out loud. Me? Yes. Because
sober is the only way I can tackle
my human troubles. And I do.

since she was born six months ago. I love
that he’s a great dad, but now that we have a

loving myself. How can I get him to bring back
the romance and sex? —K.M., 28, Boston
“This is a supercommon
issue—
we hear about it a lot
from women, but even
for men it takes a while
for sex to come back on
the table after a baby.
Talk with your husband
about what you both
need and are available
for. Sex? Kissing?
Cuddling? Nothing?
Just go step-by-step. To
go from nothing, where
you probably have been
for several months, all
the way to sex can be
overwhelming. Also,
in my mind, a big date

something relaxing that

And maybe you need to
redefine what constitutes
sex and romance
now that you have a kid.
If you expect a carriage

activities. There are a
lot of possibilities for
why he’s acting differently.
Seeing the vagina
during delivery can be
a little traumatic, or he
may be fatigued from

again. These holdups
tend to be temporary, so
delve into how you’re

the healthiest
families are made up of
couples who take care
of each other and then
take care of the children’s

Executive assistant Jillian Ricciardi and web designer Dylan Gluck, both 26, have
“been with each other through everything.” They explain it all here.
JILLIAN RICCIARDI: This photo was
taken in the bedroom of our first apartment
together, in Savannah, Georgia,
two years into our relationship. We
met during orientation at college.…
DYLAN GLUCK: I saw her and just waved
across the quad without realizing how
dorky I looked—it was an instinct.
JR: He stood out; he has a smile that
will melt anyone’s heart. We got Bae,
our dog, after only four months of dating,
which is symbolic of everything
we do. We just dive in.
DG: We didn’t even have a collar.
JR: Since then we’ve lived together
in Hong Kong to study abroad, in
Connecticut with his parents to save
money, and in a 200-square-foot
apartment in New York City. So when
I say we can live in a box together, we
literally can live in a box. I’ve learned
that all we need is a space to be with
each other—no shoes, no makeup—
just each other. We’ve seen each other
at the best and worst. My parents’
divorce was scary and emotional, and
he drove hours to be by my side.
DG: And speaking of bests, I threw her
a surprise party last year.…
JR: I’m so nosy that Dylan calls me
Nancy Drew! So his pulling it off was
one of the most memorable, romantic
moments of my life.

Studio Life Levi in her
workspace, in Red Hook,
Brooklyn
Insta-Success
“You can grow
your fan base
online and show
your work every
step of the way,”
says Levi of how
she’s used social
media to expand
her business.
This Is My Job
Helen Levi, 29, turned her hobby—pottery—into her paycheck.
Here’s how to make that happen.
I’ve been making things out of clay since my parents enrolled me in a
ceramics class in first grade. I made everything from tiny animals to
mugs and bowls. I kept at it through high school and college, and eventually
taught myself new techniques by reading and watching YouTube
videos. After I graduated I had a series of part-time gigs in New York
City—waitressing, working as a photo assistant—and was making pieces
on the side. Then I met fashion designer Steven Alan at an event in 2013.
He liked my colorful tumblers, simple off-white teacups, and terra-cotta
planters, and placed an order for his new home-goods store. That was
huge for me. I put all my energy into my business, and soon I was making
plates for a Manhattan sushi restaurant and porcelain necklaces for
a store in Brooklyn. I went from sharing a studio with 30 other potters to
working out of my own space. I’m still not a big name, but I’m doing what
I love and making a living while being authentic to me.
Woman at Work Above, Levi’s
marbled Beach Series breakfast
bowls, which take her
about two weeks to make, and,
right, the potter at her wheel
On my
average day…
I get to the studio around
10:00 A.M. after taking
my business partner—
that would be my dog,
Billy—for a walk.
I check on whatever
pieces I threw (that’s
potterspeak for shaping
clay on the wheel) the
day before. I might put
handles on a mug or
apply glaze. I do my best
work in the afternoon;
that’s when I’ll try out new
ideas or tweak old ones.
The hardest
part of my job…
I have a lot to balance:
paperwork, sales, taxes,
finding clay at the best
price. My kilns are like
cars: They need upkeep
all the time! I didn’t
know anything about
electrical work, so
I had to learn. And I have
to promote myself.
Sometimes you don’t
want to be like, “Hey, look
at what I’m doing.” But
no one’s going to do
that for you. I have to put
myself out there.
The best part
of my job…
Whenever I see a photo
of someone’s kitchen
and I spy one of my
pieces on the shelves.
It makes me proud to
have my stuff out there
in the world.
What I tell
people who say
you can’t make
a living off art…
No one’s said to me,
“When are you going to
get a real job?” But the
stereotype that artists
can’t make a living
persists. The truth: It is
possible. Not everyone
needs a 9-to-5 to be
successful. My idea of
success is, Do I feel
good about myself? I
enjoy my day, I pay my
rent, and I’m happy.
My best
work advice…
Focus on the aspects
of your job that make
you the happiest. When
I waitressed, I loved
talking to people and
cooking. I concentrated
on those things so I
could be content while
figuring out my next
move. That attitude
helps you feel fulfilled
no matter what you do.

Work Mistakes
to Avoid in 2017
The office—if you’re even in an office—can be a confusing
place these days. A few life lessons here. By Bess Levin
ou’ve probably heard these
workplace adages: Don’t
leave before your boss or curse
at the office, and definitely
don’t get drunk at the holiday
party. We’re not saying those rules
don’t apply anymore—let’s be real,
it’s never kosher to knock down multiple
cosmos in the same room as the
person who determines your salary—but
things have changed. You’re more likely to
hear people drop an F-bomb while on the
clock (research shows it can actually bring
employees closer), and a younger workforce
is blurring hierarchical lines. So how
should you behave now? Heed this advice!
Don’t wait to do great work.
Stuck at a job you don’t love? Yep, been
there. Young people now are more likely
to be underemployed than past generations.
But the biggest mistake you can
make is to act like you’re above the menial
tasks you’re given, says Deborah Rivera,
founder of The Succession Group, an
executive search consulting firm. “I’ve
seen employees who aren’t even trying to
excel,” she says. “They think, When I start
my real job, I’ll do well. But no one will recommend
you if you don’t take your current
one seriously. Find value in every task—
and do it better than everyone else.”
Don’t talk sh*t on the record.
“A client asked me for some recommendations
for an ad agency,” says Jackie K., 45,
a communications director in Westport,
Connecticut. “So I reached out to a great
agency and wrote about my client’s existing
publicity campaign, ‘My client needs
you; you’ve probably seen their hideous
ads around the city.’ When the agency said
yes and I forwarded their contact info to
the client, that little tidbit was forwarded
as well! The client called my boss to complain.
Thankfully, my boss was nice about
it—he reminded me to be careful—but
I learned a valuable lesson. Nowadays
everyone does work on their phone, where
it can be harder to see an entire email
thread. If you’re not sure, don’t forward.
Just start a new chain to be safe!”
Don’t hook up on the clock.
Dating a coworker? Totally happens
these days. But be warned: “Because
the work environment is less formal
and folks work weird hours, there have
been increasing reports about people
literally having sex at work,” says
Roy Cohen, career counselor, executive
coach, and author of The Wall Street
Professional’s Survival Guide. “When
you’re working, you’re being paid to
work.” Plus: Hello, boundaries!
Don’t ignore the pecking order.
“I was working at a huge media company,
and an opportunity came up to
switch into a department I knew I’d be a
lot happier in,” says Nora C., 29, an editor
in Brooklyn. “I had no idea how to go
about it, so I took several meetings behind
my boss’s back to try to make it happen.
Of course, she found out and was upset.
Things ended up working out—she let me
split time between the two departments.
People my age are always looking for professional
growth and purpose, but you
have to be up front, no matter how awkward
it may be.”
Don’t pretend to be someone
you’re not.
“A few weeks into my first job, my boss
offered to take me out to lunch,” says
Lauren P., 30, a marketing director in
Columbus, Ohio. “I’d been told he was a
history buff, so when he asked about my
interests, my desperate-to-get-ahead self
blurted out, ‘I love U.S. history!’ My boss
was eager to dive into the subject. But
when he asked about my favorite books,
it became clear I knew nothing about the
topic. It’s so easy to stalk your boss on
social media to find out his or her interests,
but now I know: If I want to make a
real connection, it’s best to be myself.”

Washington Never
Looked So Good
From left: Mbatha-Raw,
Chastain, and Pill take on
Capitol Hill in Miss Sloane.
“True badassery
has no gender”
The stars of the political thriller Miss Sloane,
Jessica Chastain, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and
Alison Pill, talk about what they learned playing
women who run the show. By Kate Branch
It’s quite fitting (subversive, even?) that this
is the year we finally get a serious political
film with a female lead. All the President’s
Men, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington—we’re
used to seeing all-male casts, but in Miss
Sloane, Jessica Chastain breaks the mold
playing lobbyist Elizabeth Sloane, who puts
her career in jeopardy by fighting for stronger
gun laws in the United States. (The
ending features the mic drop of the year;
I haven’t seen a twist like this since The
Sixth Sense.) Just before the election results
were tallied, I talked to Chastain and her
costars Canadian Alison Pill and Brit Gugu
Mbatha-Raw about power and passion.
60 glamour.com

MBATHA-RAW: GAVIN BOND/AUGUST. CHASTAIN: AUSTIN HARGRAVE/
AUGUST. PILL: JOE PUGLIESE/AUGUST. MISS SLOANE: KERRY HAYES
GLAMOUR: This drama shines a light on all
the gray areas of Washington—from lobbying
to election funding. What did you not
know about politics that you know now?
JESSICA CHASTAIN: I didn’t understand
how much senators and members of the
House are not able to represent the people
because they’re too busy fund-raising to
maintain their seat in office. I hope we as a
country start looking at how we can
change that.
ALISON PILL: For me the film was a study of
female ambition, specifically females operating
in an old boys’ club. It doesn’t get more
old boys’ club than Washington.
JC: Maybe Hollywood.
AP: Potentially, but the boys have been
running Washington for a long-ass time.
We’re talking 200-some-odd
years. I found it fascinating to see
our characters sit around a table
with a bunch of men in their fifties
and sixties and speak the
same language.
GLAMOUR: Only about a third of
lobbyists in D.C. are female, and
you met with a ton of them to
prepare for your roles. Anything
surprising?
GUGU MBATHA-RAW: There is
the old boys’ club, but there are
people who are “conviction
lobbyists” coming from the
heart. In advocacy groups for gun
violence prevention, I met with
one girl whose mother was [a
teacher] at Sandy Hook. It’s what
inspired her to get into politics.
That was a powerful and special
meeting for me.
JC: Most of the women I spoke to
were pushing agendas that they
felt connected to—more so than
with the male lobbyists I met
with. Maybe that’s because there
are so few women lobbyists; if
they’re there, it’s for something
they strongly believe in, not just for financial
gain.… But one comment by a female
lobbyist really shocked me. She said,
“Washington is a contact sport.” I asked,
“What do you mean by that?” And she just
said, “Well, it’s all men—and they’re very
contact-y. They touch a lot.” Women say
that’s just part of the game.
GLAMOUR: That is shocking. Jessica, one of
my favorite scenes is when your character
is asked by her boss and a National Rifle
Association representative to “trick” female
voters into switching their views on guns.
She laughs in those men’s faces. It was—
JC: Super cathartic, right?
GLAMOUR: Totally. Do you think politicians
underestimate women as a voting bloc?
JC: Absolutely they do.
AP: It’s not just politicians who underestimate
us; we underestimate ourselves. We
need to organize and figure out our own
voice as a bloc, and stop doubting ourselves.
GLAMOUR: Gugu, your character, Esme,
gets death threats for her views on gun
laws. At a time when everything in politics
feels polarizing, how do we get to a place
where we can have conversations and
make progress?
GMR: The only valid starting point is to
understand what we all share—we have to
find what we can all agree on. In the movie
“I spent a lot of the
last five years on a set.…
Now I just want
to do what I feel is right
in my heart.”
—Jessica Chastain
that is background checks [on gun buyers].
They may not solve everything, but at least
it’s a way forward.
AP: One thing that has gone away from
civil discussion in America is this idea
that our neighbors are not out to ruin the
world. We need to come at it from a civil
place. Nobody wants anything bad to happen;
the other side isn’t evil.
GLAMOUR: It’s true: In one recent survey
83 percent of gun owners support measures
like criminal background checks for
everyone who wants to buy a firearm, yet
their voices seem to get drowned out.
JC: My grandmother used to say, “Sometimes
the loudest person in the room
doesn’t know what they’re talking about.”
Or isn’t secure enough in his or her own
views to be able to listen to others.
AP: Your grandmother sounds like a smart
lady!
GLAMOUR: Alison, your character couldn’t
care less about politics. She’s actually trying
to get out of politics. What would you say to
people who are passionate about issues yet
don’t want to get involved?
AP: I’d say: Have a kid. You obviously
shouldn’t have a baby just to get politically
active, but I’m eight and a half months
pregnant, and I swear, thinking about an
actual very real future for a tiny person is
a game changer. And I can’t even
vote in this country!
GMR: Me neither! I will say: I
was working in the States when
Brexit was going on back home in
England. I often think that maybe
I got a little complacent on the situation
since I wasn’t physically
there. That’s when I realized, Wow,
anything is possible.
AP: Right. I just saw Kamala Harris
[senator-elect from California]
speak—she should run for queen
of the world—and she was talking
about how every generation has
these battles to fight, in their own
way, in their own time. These battles
don’t go away. Sitting out of
politics isn’t really an option if you
don’t want things to slide.
GLAMOUR: The idea of putting
conviction over personal ambition
comes up a lot in the film. Can
you relate?
JC: I no longer think in terms of,
Ooh, this is a great role and what
is it going to do for—actually, I’ve
never really thought about what
something is going to do for my
career. But you listen to your agents who
say, “This is a really great thing for you.” I
spent a lot of the last five years on a set, and
every once in a while you take stock of your
life and look at what you’re doing. Now I
just want to do what I feel is right in my
heart. I want to be involved in a story that
makes a difference.
GLAMOUR: Do you think men and women
will react differently to this film?
JC: My gentleman friend was so excited by
it.… He was on the edge of his seat.
AP: True badassery has no gender.

Talk / The Conversation
The Power of an Outsider
Designer Christian Siriano didn’t really feel included by the fashion industry.
So now he’s changing it—to include all of us. As told to Emily Mahaney
igrew up in Annapolis, Maryland,
a preppy, traditional military
community a few minutes from
the Naval Academy. I felt, at
times, super different. I was
young. Gay. Eccentric. A little guy.
Those things made me feel insecure
sometimes, but they also made me
feel connected to other people who
are different, who break conventions.
I wasn’t interested in the “popular
girl.” I was interested in the “cool
girl” with tattoos or unique clothes. I
worked in a hair salon, where I made
friends with these two really individualistic
girls. One had colorful hair;
the other wore six-inch stilettos every
day. They were so different, but they
were proudly themselves. I was that
way too: People were probably like,
“Why is this little kid so confident?”
I would need that self-belief. I
studied fashion design in London
and interned for British designers,
but I broke into fashion at 21 in an unusual
way: Project Runway. I was there to show
how much I loved to create, but I became
this character (so much so that Amy Poehler
played me on Saturday Night Live).
When Runway ended, I instantly had
a brand without having a brand. Viewers
wanted to buy a piece of Christian Siriano,
and I had nothing to sell them. I had to hit
the ground running, quickly figuring out
how to create product and sell it to stores.
Unfortunately I didn’t have much
industry support. My network was in London;
I was living in New York. I had no
mentors nearby. I knew no one. People
in the industry who knew of me found it
strange that I broke through on TV.
I was never a fashion darling, whom the
industry rallied around. There were buyers
who were like, “Eh, no, not for us,” and
editors who never showed up to see a collection,
let alone pull my designs. If I had
waited to get a 10-page magazine spread, I
would still be waiting.
Mr. Feel Good Siriano made a name for himself dressing women of all ages, races, and body types.
So I asked myself, If you don’t have the
typical model of success, being in the coolest
store, dressing the It Girl, appearing in
every fashion magazine, what do you do?
Give up? No. I had to do my own thing, or I
wouldn’t have a business.
And I did just that: In my first year,
I got a high-end retailer, Saks, to sell
my collection, but I also took on a mass
opportunity, designing shoes and purses
for Payless. Some designers might have
had reservations about that move, but
I was so excited to have designs in thousands
of stores!
I focused not on dressing It Girls but
rather on girls who were iconic to me. I
dressed new faces, who have a harder time
securing designer looks. I saw Gaga perform
in ’08 and outfitted her for one of her
first TV spots. I didn’t know she’d become
Lady Gaga! I just thought she was cool.
And I always championed body inclusivity.
Still do. People noticed that last year
when I sent plus-size models down my
runway, launched a line with Lane Bryant,
and designed Leslie Jones’ dress for
the Ghostbusters premiere. Leslie couldn’t
find a designer to dress her, and unfortunately
I hear stories like hers a lot. But
whether it’s Leslie or Gwyneth Paltrow, I
don’t think about a woman’s size when I
dress her. I ask myself, Am I a fan?
Now people in and out of fashion are
coming around. My line got picked up by
retailers like Moda Operandi last year.
We’re dressing up-and-comers and major
girls. Nine women wore my looks to the
Emmys! Michelle Obama wore one of my
designs. And I’m a Council of Fashion
Designers of America member to boot. I’ve
found an exciting, new model of success.
I think that kid in Annapolis believed
something great would happen for him
in art. But I don’t think he could have
imagined being a part of something bigger.
I get to be a voice of inclusivity. I get
to bring people along for the ride with me.
And I’m not done yet!

Party Ain’t Over Yet!
Felicity
Rogue
Goes
How did Felicity Jones, 33, land the biggest role of the year, as the leader
of a band of rebels in the new Star Wars film Rogue One?
If her nickname Tiny Warrior is any indication, by fighting for it.
By Karen Valby
Photographs by Patrick Demarchelier Fashion editor: Jillian Davison
rowing up, I always felt that the Star Wars films
belonged to the boys, no matter how much I played
with lightsabers or wore my hair like Princess Leia’s.
When the galaxy finally expanded to accommodate
a female lead—Daisy Ridley’s Rey—in 2015’s The
Force Awakens, I rejoiced. Now Rogue One: A Star
Wars Story, which takes place 34 years prior to Rey’s rise, thrusts
another bold woman front and center: Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso.
Jones’ character is rash, assertive, and unrestrained—messy,
thrilling traits that too few actresses get to tap into in big-budget
action movies. Jones well understands how Jyn changes the
game: As a little girl in a town outside of Birmingham, England,
she dreamed not of saving planets but of playing love-struck
Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Today, at age 33, the Oxfordeducated
actress is officially getting her turn as a new kind of Disney
princess: “a very contemporary, kick-ass princess,” she says.
Jones has built a résumé deep with roles of take-charge women
like Jyn. Last fall she played a doctor one mental leap ahead of Tom
Hanks’ smarty-pants professor in Inferno; next up she’s a mother
desperate to shield her son from the ugliness of her cancer in A
Monster Calls. (Her raw, intelligent performance could earn her a
second Oscar nod; she received her first in 2015 for her portrayal
of Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything.) Says the selfproclaimed
feminist: “What I love in my work is showing a fullsided
woman, women who are strong but flawed.”
Though Jones is blanketing the big screen, she goes unnoticed
by almost everyone at the cramped London coffee shop where we
meet, save the winking barista who asks me if the famous woman
is “good people.” She is. In person Jones is both impossibly lovely
and pleasantly ordinary. She carries herself with a graceful oldschool
reserve, protecting the privacy of her life offscreen, a
decision based in her desire for audiences to immerse themselves
in her films. “When I go to the cinema, the less I know about the
person, the more I can invest in them as characters,” she says. But
Jones isn’t aloof: She spoke to me with conviction about the Force,
feminism, and fighting to bring brainy women to the screen.
GLAMOUR: You started acting as a kid. How did you persuade your
parents to let you go on these auditions?
FELICITY JONES: They never put up huge obstacles. But there was
an emphasis on getting a good education. So I would work as hard
as possible at school so I could keep acting alongside. It started
off as a hobby.… Most of the time I was in the background. I never
played [the Virgin] Mary. I was always kind of the third angel.
GLAMOUR: Where did you get your work ethic?
FJ: My mother [was in advertising and] worked incredibly ➻

hard when she was bringing us up. She was a working mother and
a working single parent. [Jones’ parents divorced when she was a
child; she lived with her mom.] That instills in you a sense of determination.
But my father [a journalist] is a feminist as well. He
talked to us about school and work, and also gave us a strong sense
of identity in terms of finding, What do you want to do?
GLAMOUR: Was it important to you, even as a kid, to make your
own money?
FJ: I always had a very strong sense of independence. I really liked
being able to buy my Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill album. I
wore that as a badge of honor. I love not having to rely on anyone.
GLAMOUR: Was there a character you really wanted to play as a kid?
FJ: The first film I ever saw at the cinema was The Little Mermaid,
so I wanted to be Ariel. Now I am playing a Disney princess. [Disney
bought the rights to Star Wars from George Lucas in 2012.] A
very contemporary, kick-ass Disney princess!
GLAMOUR: Did you watch the Star Wars films as a kid? Who introduced
you to them?
FJ: My boy cousins used to sit my older brother and me down and
take us through a film-studies course. It included Tremors, The
Goonies, and, of course, Star Wars. That was when it began: sitting
cross-legged watching as the opening crawl goes up the screen.
GLAMOUR: What was your audition process like for Jyn?
FJ: My agent called me up and said, “There is a tremendous female
lead in the new Star Wars film, and I think you’re really going to
like it.” The opportunity to play someone determined, who’s trying
to find her skills as a leader; to be in a fantasy movie; to be able to do
a leading female role in a film of that scale—that’s very, very rare.
GLAMOUR: In a Rogue One trailer, Jyn is described as reckless,
aggressive, and undisciplined. Those are traits we’ve grown accustomed
to seeing in male heroes, but they aren’t traits we usually get
to see in our female heroes.
FJ: She’s a bit of a wounded animal when you meet her. There were
moments when she’s been blown over, she’s scrambling to get up,
and she falls. It’s important that she’s not perfect. [The director]
Gareth [Edwards] and I, we want to see her being a human being.
GLAMOUR: You could describe Han Solo using those same words.
FJ: She’s obviously completely her own woman, but I felt like [she]
was a rather beautiful blend of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo—
and that came up in discussions around designing the costume.
GLAMOUR: She does have that Han Solo–esque belt! Gwendoline
Christie, who played the first female Star Wars villain in The Force
Awakens, said she loved how her character’s costume was sort of
defeminized, utilitarian. Was yours always going to be the same
way, or did you have to push back against attempts to sex it up?
FJ: Not for a second. Everyone wanted to create a character that
was not in any way objectified. We didn’t want to sexualize Jyn.
GLAMOUR: So there’s no moment where Jyn is suddenly a prisoner
in a gold bikini.
FJ: No way. [Laughs.] We don’t even see Jyn’s arms! That’s not her
priority. She’s a survivor, and she has a mission to complete.
GLAMOUR: That’s a big deal to me, as somebody who grew up on
the early films—that there’s not an eye candy moment for teenage
boys to jerk off to.
FJ: Gareth said very early on, “I want guys to watch it and be like, ‘I
want to be Jyn!’” A female friend of mine said, “I love that Jyn looks
how we look, with trousers and a long-sleeved top.” We aren’t in hot
pants. When do women walk around wearing hot pants?
GLAMOUR: Rarely. In the first big trailer, five of the 10 lines of
dialogue are spoken by women, suggesting that the year’s biggest
tentpole passes the Bechdel test [which rates films based on
whether two female characters talk to each other about something
other than a man]. Were your feminist needs met by this movie?
FJ: I’ve always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being
able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronize her. Particularly
with Jyn, it’s such a rare opportunity to be able to play
a female who’s not just thinking about [romantic] relationships.
GLAMOUR: Do you feel any relief in not being the first Star Wars
female lead? Does it feel like Daisy Ridley’s Rey in The Force Awakens
did a lot of work at putting gender wariness to bed?
FJ: Absolutely. And I hope now with Rogue One we’re in a place
where of course women are going to be leading action films as well
Presenting: Jyn Erso
Jones’ character—here with
costar Diego Luna—leads the
mission to steal the Death
Star plans in Rogue One.

not going to be defined

It’s going to be about
what you do.’ ”
as men. I feel like Sigourney Weaver in Alien and Jennifer Lawrence
in The Hunger Games, and then obviously Daisy in The Force
Awakens, all passed on the baton.
GLAMOUR: Daisy’s character didn’t initially get her own action figure,
an omission [The Force Awakens’ director] J.J. Abrams called
preposterous and wrong. How did you feel onstage at the Star
Wars Celebration, holding up Jyn Erso’s action figure?
FJ: It felt really momentous of how far we’ve come from when I was
growing up. Playing with Barbies…
GLAMOUR: My mother wouldn’t allow me to have Barbies.
FJ: No, nor was I! [Laughs.] I was a tomboy running around in the
garden. I used to play on a local cricket team. I grew up with all boy
cousins, for the most part, and my brother. My mother was in the
kind of late-sixties, early-seventies origins of female emancipation.
And she was very much like, “You’re not going to be defined by
how you look. It’s going to be about who you are and what you do.”
GLAMOUR: I heard that people call you Tiny Warrior. How did you
earn that nickname?

Setting Boundaries
“I put every ounce of
myself into my work,”
says Jones, “but also
it’s important that I
don’t miss every
single wedding of my
best friends.”
Proenza Schouler dress.
Pierre Hardy heels.
FJ: I’m small. I’m petite. But I’m a bit of a fighter inside. In my work
I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They’ve got brains.
GLAMOUR: That’s true of your new string of roles. Is that deliberate?
FJ: I’ve never taken a role where I don’t like a person on the page.
Sometimes there are changes that need to be made.
GLAMOUR: Have you suggested a change to a character?
FJ: I’m keen [to make sure] that the woman isn’t asking too many
questions. Sometimes that can be an issue—she’s always asking
questions and never speaking in statements.
GLAMOUR: Women at times finish our sentences on an up—
FJ: Delivering it up, as though you’re not sure of what you’re saying.
Exactly. So you have to think: I know the answer to this question. I
don’t need to ask. I can state. But I’ve been very lucky. Directors I’ve
worked with have been very amenable to changes.
GLAMOUR: How else do you negotiate? Before you accepted Inferno,
you said you needed certain days off so you could be present for your
sister-in-law’s delivery when her baby came.
FJ: I’m keen to have balance, as much as possible. I put every ounce
of myself into my work, but also it’s important that I don’t miss
every single wedding of my best friends. I couldn’t do what I do
without my friends and family.
GLAMOUR: Your friend Polly Stenham, the playwright, described
you as “hellishly funny.” Who makes you laugh?
FJ: My friends, my family, my boyfriend [British commercial director
Charles Guard].
GLAMOUR: When was the last time you really laughed at a TV
show or a movie?
FJ: I both laughed and cried at Girls. I just have such, such
respect for Lena [Dunham, the creator and star of the show].
And I got to actually be in it, which was fantastic.
GLAMOUR: Back to how you fight for yourself: Jennifer Lawrence
and Patricia Arquette have advocated for equal pay. Do
you feel comfortable talking about money? One report says
you made twice as much as your male costars for Rogue One.
FJ: I want to be paid fairly for the work that I’m doing. That’s
what every single woman around the world wants. We want
to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position. And
I think it’s important to talk about it.… It’s brave of those
women to come forward and make a point about it. Now
younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions
with their agents and be able to say, “Can we make sure that
I’m being paid the right amount for the work that I’m doing?”
GLAMOUR: I want to talk about another great movie you’re in,
A Monster Calls. You play a mother who is sick with cancer,
but she is more than the “mom with cancer.”
FJ: Lizzie is still a bit of a child herself. She’s not always sweet
and light. To cope with what’s happening, she’s quite tough.
GLAMOUR: She’s quite physically stripped down too.
FJ: I hate it when, in films, the girl looks perfect in every shot.
It’s quite nice if there’s a bit of dark circles underneath the
eyes, if we see the reality of the situation that the person is
going through. I was so obsessed with all the details. We
wanted to show her illness through how her hair changes. So
very quickly, the “How do I look?” thing goes out the window.
Those moments when you don’t feel self-conscious, when you
escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
GLAMOUR: It’s nice to hear an actress say she feels least
self-conscious when she’s not looking her most glamorous.
FJ: I do, particularly.
GLAMOUR: You’re English. Let’s close with a speed round of English
versus American culture. Favorite British versus American beer?
FJ: I cannot stand beer. But I love wine. I was in Napa recently.
Delicious wines.
GLAMOUR: What’s a British vice, versus an American vice?
FJ: The British vice is overthinking before we speak, which is
really annoying. I love the way that, in America, people are more
straightforward. The American vice would be sometimes speaking
too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!
GLAMOUR: Favorite British versus American fashion house?
FJ: I love Alexander McQueen and Erdem. And American, I love
Proenza Schouler and Calvin Klein. Classic.
GLAMOUR: Classic.
FJ: [Reaches into her pocket.] And I’ve just realized I have the
blaster [from Jyn’s action figure]. This is Jyn’s Lego blaster!
GLAMOUR: Why do you have that in your pocket?
FJ: Because somebody gave me a Lego doll of Jyn yesterday. I’m
going to keep holding on to it.
GLAMOUR: Use that as your talisman to protect yourself.
FJ: Exactly. You’re right, I will. I will. Jyn will help me now.

After the Party There’s the…
AFTER-PARTY GUIDE
How to have your best night ever? Our VIPs have some ideas.
What’s Inside
SABINA KARLSSON’S
Party Purse?
The model (seen on page
70) empties her clutch.
1. A pack of Simply Gum ($3,
luckyvitamin.com), which is perfect
after sushi, Karlsson’s go-to meal
before “a night of dancing,” she says.
2. Pressed powder, like Bobbi Brown’s
Nude Finish Illuminating Powder in
Buff ($50, bobbibrowncosmetics.com),
“in case I get shiny or sweaty, which
I kind of always get,” Karlsson says.
3. Her iPhone, in a party-proof case,
of course (Sterling Kane iPhone
case, $95, sterlingkane.com): “I use
Uber every day—especially if I’m
wearing high heels.”
4. Lip gloss, like Surratt Beauty
Lip Lustre in Au Naturelle ($32,
sephora.com), for just a touch of shine.
As a model, she says, “it’s refreshing
not to have a full face of makeup on
when you’re not working.”
5. Hudsalve balm ($8, bestmadeco
.com) to keep lips healthy: “They
used it in the army back in the day,”
Karlsson says. “I get tons
when I go home to Sweden.”

TALKIN’ PARTIES
with
Peter
BRANT Jr.
The man about
town (seen on page
84) gives a master
class in mingling.
GLAMOUR: What
should you do if
you’re alone at a lackluster
party?
PETER BRANT: Introduce
yourself to some
hilarious people. It
doesn’t matter if you
have anything in
common.
GLAMOUR: How do
you know you’ve had
one too many drinks?
PB: I get a little loud.
My brother will be
like, “Volume.” It’s
easy to get carried
away because drinking
makes everybody
more easygoing,
especially when
people are so predisposed
to dislike
one another.
GLAMOUR: Really?
PB: Trust me—I put
together a lot of
dinner parties.

How to Make the
Perfect Party
Guacamole
When Adam Kenworthy isn’t doing cameos
as Carole Radziwill’s boyfriend on
The Real Housewives of New York City, the
chef (seen on page 70) is busy whipping up his
“crowd-pleaser” appetizer: tostones and
guacamole. “It reminds me of my days surfing
in Latin America,” he says. Same…?
1 tbsp. coconut oil
2 green plantains
2 fresh avocados
1 tomato
1 /4 red onion
1 /2 jalapeno ˜
2 tbsp. cilantro
Juice of 1–2 limes
Tostones: Heat oil in a skillet
over medium heat. Slice
plantains as thick as your
fingertip and brown 3 to 5
minutes per side. Remove
from pan and mash flat with
bottom of a drinking glass.
Season with salt and pepper,
then return to pan and cook
3 minutes more per side.
Guacamole: Scoop avocados
into a bowl, mash, and mix in
finely chopped tomato, red
onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
Add lime juice and salt to
taste. Spoon onto tostones.
Blow people’s minds.
How to Move (or at Least Talk) Like
TALKIN’ PARTIES
with
Cipriana Quann&
TK Wonder
The Urban Bush Babes (seen on
page 69) tell it like it is.
GLAMOUR: What’s your number-one piece
of hosting advice?
CIPRIANA QUANN: Don’t overplan, because
when things are too rigid, nothing ever
goes right. Oh, and don’t make people take
off their shoes.
TK WONDER: It’s the worst when you show
up like, “Honey, I got my right shoes on,”
and the host is like, “No shoes.”
GLAMOUR: What do you consider to be the
ultimate party foul?
TK WONDER: Looking around to see who
else is there.
CIPRIANA: Don’t be concerned about [networking]….
Just talk to good people,
regardless of their position. —Kate Branch
MELA MURDER & KANER FLEX
A handy picto-glossary to all things flex—the contortion-heavy rhythmic dance that originated
in Brooklyn dance halls—courtesy of the dancing duo (seen on page 81)
Bone-Breaking
A name for hyperfocused
moves like the jump rope,
the dead arm, and, shown
at left, shoulder
dislocations. “It’s an
illusion,” says Murder,
who has toured with
Major Lazer. “Obviously
we’re not actually
breaking our bones.”
Connects
When your own
hands—or your and a
partner’s hands—line
up to “create shapes
and lines,” says Flex,
whom you may
recognize from
Calvin Klein’s spring
2016 campaign with
FKA Twigs.
TK Wonder, left, and Cipriana
Head Tops
A cooler name for
headstands.
Even when
pregnant (five
months at the
time of our
shoot), Murder
calls the inversion
“so comfortable.”
—K.B.
glamour.com 95

Hey, Soo Joo and Emily:
Would you wear the shoot’s
extreme beauty IRL?
“I love this
orange-red wig
so much I actually
sent a picture to
my agent. I always
like the cool
factor—hair is just
one way to
express that.”
—Soo Joo Park
“No, but it is fun to
get into character.
Every time we
change, we’re a
different person.
Like, I know who
this person is! I’ve
seen her at a
party.” —Emily
DiDonato
TALKIN’ PARTIES
with
Mr. Robot actor and artist
Joey Bada$$
(seen on page 75)
GLAMOUR: What’s your favorite look for a
night on the town?
JOEY BADA$$: I like comfort, for sure. But
if I’m going out to a party, I’ve probably
got on some real heavy-duty biker jeans
or cargoes with combat boots and an
oversize hoodie.
GLAMOUR: You don’t get sweaty like that?
JB: I don’t really trip about sweating.
As long as I’m feeling myself, I set the
temperature.

Bon Appétit boss Adam Rapoport (seen

anyone can make because it’s so easy.”
ADAM’S PARTY TIP
1 part gin
1 part Campari
1 part sweet vermouth
Pour ingredients into
an old-fashioned glass
with lots of ice and an
orange twist. Or, if you
wanna get all fancy
with it, pour the booze
into a shaker with
lots of ice, shake, and
strain into a coupe or
martini glass.
“Always invite more people than you think. Half the people
who say they’re going to come to a party aren’t going to come.”

Teyana Taylor’s
3 Shortcuts to
a Killer Night Out
The “Fade” video standout and
star of VH1’s upcoming hip-hop
drama The Breaks (seen on page 71)
gives us her party pointers.
TALKIN’ PARTIES
with
LIL BUCK
The movement artist (seen on page 70)
comes alive in the nighttime.
“When I go out to parties and stuff, I know that I
can bust some shit out and shut it down at any
given moment. I know it’s not fair, but I can
actually control the party with my moves. The
body roll is a good starting place. Just that sway—
it’s that rock motion, that swinging. It’s real cool
and real chill and just, like, not too much. It’s the
bounce in the legs, sort of bending your knees a
little bit, and there, you’re hitting a little Drake.”
1
Assess the location.
“We going to a club? Then we know
we’ve got to dress comfortable,
because we’ve got to be ready to break it
down,” Taylor says. “I’m the best partygoer
ever because I take it seriously.”
2
Adhere to the dress code.
“I don’t half-ass; if it’s a black-tie event, I go
all out. For the seventies party we had for
my mom, I was seventies from head to toe.”
3
Fuel up before you get down.
“I like a full meal,” Taylor says.
“Before the club, I like fried chicken,
macaroni, collard greens. I just don’t like
vegetables and onions, and relish.
I like those flavors, but I don’t like the
texture. I just don’t eat stuff that I can’t
spell, pronounce…or define.”
3 Is the Magic Number
The genesis story behind a trio of Insta-famous (220K followers
and counting!) goldendoodles (seen on pages 82–83)
From left: Hudson,
Neptune, and Samson
Hudson and his owner,
account manager Raquel
Clubwala, met Samson
and his mom, medical
resident Jess Fokides, at
an NYC dog park. They
connected with Annie
Trombatore, a VP of product
at Thrillist, when she
bought Neptune from
Hudson’s breeder. “At the
root of it, we all like to hang
out and drink wine,” Trombatore
says. “It’s a plus that
the dogs get along too.”

13 Resolutions Other People
Really Need to Make This Year
By Kimberly Bonnell & Pamela Redmond Satran
4
“As your boss, I’ll
stop giving you
those effed-up tasks
that are more about
making me look
good than…well,
fine, they’re actually
only about making
me look good.”
2
“When I finally see
Hamilton, I won’t gloat.
(I might sing a few
lines, but I won’t
gloat.)”
“If I see you running, in
heels, to catch my bus, I won’t
slam the door shut and pull
away right when you get there.
As much fun as that would
be for a jerk like me.”
“I’m your friend! I won’t be
jealous of your success. (OK,
I will. But I’ll get over it.)”
5
“I’ll clean up after myself,
because it’s true: You’re my
roommate, not my mother.”
HAMILTON: JOAN MARCUS. PARROT: KAREL BROZ/GETTY
IMAGES. BEER: ROBERT INGELHART/GETTY IMAGES
“Even though I work in a
soul-sucking call center for
a Multinational Company
That Controls My and Your
Life, I will be a human
being when you finally get
me on the line.”
“From now on,
I’ll seat women
at the big comfy
booths, not at
that child-sized
one-top under
the AC vent.”
“No more Snapchats of
me and all our other friends
having fun at parties
you weren’t invited to.”
9
“I won’t steal your
(adorable!) future baby
name for my dog.
Or my parrot. Or my
boyfriend’s penis.”
12
10
“These committee
meetings are such
a waste of time. Let’s
go have a beer
instead.”
“I promise my
orgasm won’t make
me forget you’re
there in bed with
me. Thirty-second
zone-out, max!”
“I’m going to stop blasting the
bass from my car. And revving the
engine in a threatening way. In fact,
I’m getting rid of the giant SUV
that’s obviously compensating
for my fears of sexual
inadequacy.”
“When I want to break
up, I won’t ghost you.
I’ll go back to the
gentle, old-fashioned
way: I’ll text.”

Glamour Dos & Don’ts ®
The Magic of Michelle
A look back at eight years of memorable, masterful Dos. We’ll miss you, FLOTUS.
Michelle Obama is leaving the White
House with a powerful legacy on
issues like girls’ education (see page 14),
but we’d like to pause here to
salute her subtle, sometimes subversive
sartorial choices. She championed
previously unrecognized American
designers (see: Cuban-born
designer Isabel Toledo), sported
real-person retail (J.Crew!),
and, in general, dressed not by the old
First Lady rules but in the way
women want to dress. Melania, you’ve
got some mighty stylish shoes to fill.
