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.

Head Tops
A cooler name for
headstands.
Even when
pregnant (five
months at the
time of our
shoot), Murder
calls the inversion
“so comfortable.”
