of the July Issue
FUN, FEARLESS KELLY
Fun, fearless female is an accurate
description of this months cover star,
Kelly Osbourne. Not only is she beautiful, talented, and delightfully
hilarious, shes also an inspiration to
women like myself who struggle
with self-acceptance. Thank you,
Cosmo, for reminding me not to be
afraid to stand out from the crowd
just like Kelly.

NOT TOO YOUNG
I was so happy to see your article Im Too

Youngfor a Stroke. My best friend and college
roommate had a stroke in our apartment when
she was just 20 years old. People dont realize that
a stroke can happen to anyone, even someone
who is young and healthy. Thank you for bringing awareness to this subject!

WAKE-UP CALL
I just finished reading Confessions

of a Freckle Face from the July issue,
and I cant help but be a bit offended.
This article makes freckles out to be
a shamefully torturous flaw, when
they are in fact a unique mark of
beauty. Freckles are not something
to be ashamed of!
I loved your July issue. My favorite

story was The Skinny onHow Your
Phone Screws Up Your Skin. I have
noticed I am getting tiny wrinkles
from squinting at texts on my phone.
I already changed the font. Thanks,

How they
GOT THEIR START
contributors
Sara Austin
My goal is to translate lawmakers decisions into

your own options for your health, career, bank
account, even your love life, says deputy editor (and
mom of two) Austin, who oversaw our contraception
feature, How Not to Get Pregnant (p. 240).
Kyle Buchanan
How I got my start. After graduating from

UNC at Chapel Hill, I worked as a secretary
for an arts association. The editor of the
organizations magazine commissioned a
story about 20somethings and asked the
junior staffers what we thought. I hated it!
So I sent an e-mail explaining why. She
ditched the article and asked me to write
my first piece. Twitter: @SaraDAustin
This month, writer Buchanan, the movie editor

for Vulture, had brunch with Pitch Perfect star
Rebel Wilson, who revealed some of her real-life
Hollywood confessions for Super Fun Rebel
(p. 76). Wilsons new ABC sitcom, Super Fun Night,
premieres this October.
How I got my start. After graduating from the
Renowned photographer Griffith brings his

quirky sense of humor to the feature How
Not to Get Pregnant.
How I got my start. I studied
biochemistry at McGill University,
Francis
in Montreal, and began graduate

feathered
I was taking pictures constantly look in high
and developing in the darkroom
school!
three nights a week while studying. I thought, if I dont commit to
this now, I never will, so I walked
away from my PhD four months
shy of finishing. I struggled for two
years in London, then got a big
break shooting for a French magazine. Twitter: @GriffithStudio
Irin Carmon
Jeff Francis and Fredrik Stambro
In I Door Do I? (p. 180), writer

Carmon, who covers women, politics,
and culture at MSNBC, examines how
young womens attitudes about
marriage are changing.
For this months beauty feature, That 70s Show (p. 218), hairstylist
Francis and makeup artist Stambro joined forces to give Swedish-born
model Elsa Hosk six iconic 70s-inspired looks.
How I got my start. I asked my high
school principal if we could

start a career day. When he said
yes, I e-mailed every journalist I
admired asking if I could spend
a day with them. I ended up at
Ms. Magazine and was told I
could come back as an intern. It
set me on a path as a feminist
journalist. Twitter: @IrinCarmon
32
How I got my start. Francis: I received a scholarship to

business school but flunked out after the first quarter. All
of a sudden, I was like Im going to hair school. From the
first day, it clicked immediately. After school, I assisted
the best hairstylist in Columbus, Ohio, then I went out on
my own. When I moved to New York at 28, I assisted all
over again. It was humbling! Instagram: @ErnieF11
Stambro: Ive been painting and drawing since I was 2
years old. I studied fine arts in Sweden, then I thought
becoming a makeup artist sounded fun, so I signed up for
school. In the beginning, I did makeup on test shoots for
freeI started meeting people from the industry and
that led to more work. Twitter: @FredrikStambro

Christopher Griffith
University of Southern California in 2002,

I was living in L.A., working different temp
jobs. My friends and I spent lots of time figuring out what we didnt want to be, but we
hadnt settled on what we did want to be.
We decided to start an online magazine,
called Ostrich Ink, that chronicled the
bizarre aspects of our lives. The magazine
lasted for three years, and it was the catalyst that helped me get my first mainstream

Work Smart!
How I wish this issue of Cosmo had been published
when I was working one of my worst jobs ever. Well, the
job itselfrunning the night desk of a big newspaper in
Londonwas actually exciting, but the hours sucked. I
started at 6 p.m. and didnt leave until 3 a.m., and I still
remember the lonely drive in.I was 23 and greeted by
the depressing sight of my friends and colleagues beginning to swing out the door to barstheir fun just beginning as I was settling in for a long, stressful night at my
desk. Even worse, I would leave wired at 3 a.m., ready for
action but with nowhere to goand no one to go with.
Eventually, I found a 24-hour bagel place on Brick Lane
subsequently made cool by Monica Alis
critically acclaimed novel of the same name
but resoundingly uncool back thenwhere I
would calm down over a plate of carbs. I
would get up at 1 p.m., completely
disoriented, meet friends for a desultory
lunch, then hit the gym. As antisocial as the
job was, it quickly led to a much better new
job, so it wasnt a complete waste of time. But
as so many of us work odd hours now or seem required to
be on call 24/7, its reassuring to know there are smart
ways to still have a life. We asked women in a variety of
fields with various schedules how they deal. So if you find
yourself in the same position, use their experience
(When You Work Weird Hours, page 153).
my breathless, hallucinatory workout state, thought was

seawater. To my astonishment, the seawater turned
out to be my own sweat. I had read about people who
worked out this hard (Gwyneth! Madonna!) but never
thought I would be remotely foolish enough to tryor,
frankly, be capable ofwhat she puts you through. Im
not an addictive personality, but if I had the time, I could
become obsessed with her crazy-ass workouts. If like me,
you are largely office-bound and unable to get to her
studio, then you can still try out her exercises on page 236.
Working up a sweat is not only good for stress, but also
you should see my arms these days.

MY WORKOUT GURU
inding time to exercise is key to staying sane when

youre busy. Halfway through working out for the

thought I was choking. A strange burning liquid was

I had a crush on this beautiful

girl in my economics class, but
I couldnt get up the balls to talk
to her. One weekend, my friends
and I threw a football tailgating
party where we got decked out
in face paint, and she came with
her friends. I mustered up the
guts to walk over to her, but on
my way, I caught my foot on a
power cord and face-planted

news was that she couldnt
recognize me because of the
face paint. The bad news was that Id
sprained my ankle, so on Monday, I hobbled
into class with a cast on. Im sure she figured
out it was me, but instead of saying
something, I just sat far away from her for the
rest of the semester. In shame. CARL C., 23

DALE B., 23, fashion intern,
I was on a road trip with my boyfriend, and we were on

one of those long and desolate roads that screams pit-stop
hookup. We pulled over and started doing it outside the
car, but all of a sudden, my guy saw a skunk. He freaked
and ran off, leaving me there with it. I freaked as well and
was mentally debating what to dowhen the skunk
sprayed me! My BF ran back to help, but the damage was
done. I had to get back in the car smelling like skunk, and
it stayed on me (and in the car) for days. VICTORIA P., 34

I had a crush on my
roommates friend, so I was
pumped when I finally got to
hook up with her one night after
a party. During sex, she asked
me if I would say Parsons,
which is where she went to
college. I thought it was weird,
but because I was drunk, I went
with it. Then she asked me to
say Park the car in the Harvard
yardshe said my Boston
accent turned her on! So I
continued to say random
sentences for her. It was one
of the strangest sexual
experiences Ive ever had, but I
have to say, it was hot. I dont
think Ive ever talked that much
during sex! BEN G., 22

GUY CONFESSION
One summer, I was working at a fancy rug store, and it was

my responsibility to lock up at night. To spice things up with
my girlfriend, I brought her into the store one night after
closing, and we started having sex on a pile of rugs in the
showroom. But I forgot that the back lights in the store were
turned on, meaning everyone walking by in the street could
see us even though it seemed to us like we were in the dark.
The people walking by got quite a show. Luckily, my girl
never realized that we were in plain sight. ANDY P., 21

The summer before sophomore
year of college, I was living at
home with my parents. My first
girlfriend, Kelley, was too, and
one night, she invited me to
sneak into her house, old-school
style, and we had passionate sex
in her childhood bedroom. After,
I swung open her back door to
leave, and it beeped. Then woof
woof! The dog barked. Then the
lights went on. The security
alarm system was going off full
force. I heard Kelley go, Run! I
felt like I was in a movie, so I
hopped over the bushes and
bolted. But the security system
had a hidden camera, and it
caught me. I was busted.
Kelleys parents were strict, so
they forbade her to see me. I was
so embarrassed that I didn't
even put up a fightbut Im still
banking on us hooking up next
year. RAY C., 21

SCREEN
TEST
One Friday night, I
decided to surprise my
boyfriend with gourmet
popcorn and a movie in
bed. I hooked his laptop
up to one of his sketchy
free viewing websites,
and when he got home,
I told him to go check
out the surprise Id set up.
When I walked into his
room, he practically
jumped my bones! I
thought he was just
happy about movie night,
but then I saw that the
laptop was playing this
X-rated pop-up ad that he
clearly thought was his
surprise. I explained that
popcorn, not porn, was
on the menu, but the
movie didnt seem so
great to him after that. So
I watched it and ate the
popcorn while he conked
out next to me. Mission,
failed. KATE D., 26

living at the time, and I said yes. We

got there and started making out on
his bed, and then he just stripped!
It was a bit presumptuous, but I
went with it (see above re: getting
over my ex and this guy being hot).
But heres the thing: He couldnt get
it up. And rather than addressing
the issue, he just put on a condom
and kept trying to make it happen.
He finally got mildly hard, thrusted
three times, finished, pulled out,
and didnt say anything. Then he
put his clothes back on, started
packing, and asked mewait for
itwhich train I was taking home.
I was dumbfounded. What happened
to the sweet guy whod asked me to
stay over? Then he called his friend
again to talk about Vegas again and
gestured to me that he had to finish
packing. What a douche.
By that point, I was so over him,
so I got dressed and left. In the lobby,
the same security guy from before
told me that everyone needs to be
checked out in person, so he and I
both called Josh again. He didnt

answer (dj vu), so I went back up,
knocked on his door,
and told him bluntly that he had
to check me out. His response?
Im really busy packing. Yep,
he actually looked me in the eye and
said that. I said that meant I
couldnt leave, so he begrudgingly
took the elevator down with me in
silence. I swear he rolled his eyes
about me to the security guy as I left,
but even so, he told me hed call me
after Vegas. I didnt even waste my
energy by telling him off. I missed
my train back to New Jersey and had
to sit in Penn Station for the next
hour eating an Auntie Annes
pretzel and reliving what had just
happenedthe three pitiful thrusts
on a dorm bed, the nice-guy-turneddouche, the embarrassment of
needing him to come back to check
me out. Josh never called, but he did
send me a LinkedIn message
months later, asking if I wanted to
get together. Romantic.

business school in New York City. He
was kinda meh, but he was also hot
and I was on a mission to get over my
ex. So I said yes when he invited me
for cocktails at his place and then
dinner out. Even though he was in
his late 20s, his place was a dorm
room in a building filled with
undergrads. When I got there, the
security guy called him to let me in.
He didnt answer, so the guy kept
calling. I texted him toono
response. Fifteen minutes went by
and I was about to leave, when Josh
called down and said hed been on
the phone but would come get me
now. He seemed distracted, and as
soon as we went up, he got back on
the phone and started talking to his
friend about their trip to Vegas the
next day! I sat there awkwardly on
his dorm-issued bed.
Finally, Josh hung up and we
went to dinner, and things actually
turned around. We were cracking
jokes, and he started talking about
the future, suggesting great
restaurants he wanted to take me
to. Then he asked me to stay over
that night so I wouldnt have to rush
back to New Jersey, where I was

Q Was it weird being filmed in

3D for Battle of the Year?
A For sure! Watching

yourself in a movie is like one
bad 90-minute selfie. Im
insecure enough in 2D. Add
depth of field and its totally
embarrassing.
The Drake and Josh goofball,

now 26 and starring in Battle of
the Year in 3D, dishes on
costar Chris Brown, dating, and
his new babe status.
Q Everyone has an opinion on

Chris Brownwhats yours?
A I can comment only on

how he was with me, which
was gracious, funny, and
just a good dude. We watched
funny YouTube videos
together. Its hard. But we
live in this society where
everything is under a
microscope.
Q Your other former costar

Amanda Bynes has also been in
the news. Any advice for her?
A Id say get a flip phone that

doesnt have internet on it.
Q How have you avoided
spiraling out of control?
A Ive been lucky. Not to be

corny, but my lifes some
dream-come-true shit. I was
just a chubby kid doing
comedy. I never thought Id
get to do this as a career.
Q Was being funny your way

of deflecting from your weight?
chubby kid who was really
into Star Wars, thats for
sure. A good personality is
cultivated out of necessity.
Q How did you get in shape?

A Its the old puberty-mixedwith-eating-well story. Now
Im a little obsessed. Im that
CrossFit guy at the gym, like
Who am I?
People go
through
puberty and
lose weight;
its just not
chronicled
on TV.
Q How does it feel to have

girls wanting you now?
A Says you! I hope 13year-old Josh is stoked.

It feels good to be liked in
any respect. If I can be
funny cute, Ive exceeded
my expectations.

SAYING...
JU S T
Why Are
We All Such
HATERS?
Why enjoy something when you can
tear it down instead? Jessica
Bennett explores the pleasures and
pitfalls of throwing shade.
Halfway through Silver Linings
Playbook, I realized: Id turned
hate-watching into a sport. It
was Sunday night, and I was nestled on a
friends couch. Bradley Cooper was
twirling Jennifer Lawrence around, and
we were hysterical. Ohmygod! Make it
stop! we both screamed, laughing.
We hated itlike, really hated itand
yet, the more we bitched, the more satisfied
we felt. We were hate-watching: tuning in just for the thrill
of talking about how much we thought the movie sucked.
Insane? Maybe a little, but the act of reveling in what we
disdain has been around forever. Its just that, now, we dont
just hate-watch (or have passionate hate-sex): We hate-read,
hate-listen, hate-follow. We hate-drink megachain coffee
while complaining that its overpriced. We hate-stalk
former friends to delight in their misfortune (or weight gain).
Experts say that complaining about common dislikes
brings us closer. Its one of the strongest forms of bonding
bonding through hate, says Montana Miller, a Bowling
Green State University professor who studies fan cultures.
ut there are other reasons for the hate: Trashing

someone elses work in an age of self-promotion
can make us feel superior. At the most basic level,
theres something delicious, as Syracuse University pop-culture professor Robert Thompson puts it, about
a certain combination of pleasure and disgust. Theres just
so much more to hate on lately: the nonstop humblebrags,
the carefully curated updates. Its all streamed into our lives
in a way we cant ignore. Ah, the joys of being judge-y.
In the past, we might have hate-watched Honey Boo Boo
just like we do now, but we would have done it quietly in the
anonymity of our living rooms. Today, we tweet what we
hate-watch and discuss our hate-crushes over drinks
thereby declaring that even after working, hanging out with
friends, going to the gym, and doing all the things we actually
like, we still have time to engage in something we supposedly
hate. When did it suddenly become acceptable to hate-do
things without shameeven with pride?
68
In an era when everything is chronicled in our permanent

public record via our Twitter and Tumblr feeds and when
our interests are more scrutinized than ever, who wants to
be seen as shallow, sappy, or worse, simply missing out on
the trend? Hate has become a new, cruder form of ironya
way to acknowledge youre in the know while protecting
yourself from ridicule, especially if you genuinely like something that others dont. Because really, why admit that we
sort of like online dating? Or that Silver Linings Playbook was
actually kind of enjoyable, even if it was terrible? Hate-doing
is the perfect justification for liking anything that is stupid,
despicable, silly. Plus, isnt liking sort of pass? These days,
you have to be critical of every fucking thing just to rise above
the noise, says Asie Mohtarez, a New Yorkbased comedian.
Because if youre not, you just seem boring.
But if you take a closer look at hate-doing, you realize that
the line between desire and detest is often intertwined. Hatewatching the Miss America Pageant? Its a permission slip
to objectify women for a good hour. Hating on someones
success or happy relationship means we dont have to confront our own unmet goals or glaring singledomor the fact
that we werent the ones to write an Oscar-winning movie
(although, seriously, that movie was really bad!). And sometimes, seeing someone else succeed can be motivating.
In the end, hate-doing may just be a meta way of saying
that we like you. As Nell Scovell, a Hollywood writer-director,
puts it: Like pulling a girls pigtails in second grade, hatewatching is really love that you arent big enough to admit.
Jessica Bennett is a New Yorkbased journalist and editor-at-large for
Lean In, Sheryl Sandbergs womens foundation.

Oh my god, yeah. Ill often use my real stuff in my writing because

it comes across as more authentic. Theres a scene where my
dress rips, and something like that happened when I first came
to America. I got set up on a lunch with Jason Segel. He was the
first Hollywood person that I got to have lunch with and chat
about life with or whatever.
So I thought, Ill try to look
my best, and I wore my best
leather jacket. When I sat
down, a sharp edge on the
chair snagged my jacket,
and it just ripped. I was devastated but trying to hide it
because I didnt want to
ruin the lunch. Im always
ripping clothing. Its so
embarrassing.
Any other real moments
well see in the show?
In the pilot, my character

gets invited to drinks, but
she cant get into the clubthat happened
to me recently at Skybar. Anna Kendrick was
having her birthday party there, and it was
a fancy place. So I get there with Hana Mae
Lee from Pitch Perfect, and Ive got a birthday
gift so Im clearly going to the party, and this
big huge bouncer wouldnt even look us in
the face. We were like, Hiand then two
models came and he let them in.
normally the girl who guys like to be friends with, so I become

friendly with the guy and then go, Oh, this is my other friend.
When youre with friends at a bar or a party, how do you
approach guys you like?
My character on the show and her friends are kind of dorky and
socially awkward. And even though, yes, now I am in movies or
whatever, I am still that girl.
People think youre really
confident because youre an
actress or whatever, but Im
like the worst. Although the
good thing about being
recognizable is that people
approach me, which is good.
Also, I watch that show
Millionaire Matchmaker,
and they say the girls should
never approach the guys.

ACTIVITIES THAT
ARE SUPER FUN
/INDOORS/
Did you pull the Do you know who I

am card?
Bedazzling. Anyone can jazz up a sweatshirt.

Try wine glasses. Or a TV remote.
I didnt pull the Reese Witherspoon [laughs].

He had a list, and I said, Excuse me, were
on the list. Were here for Anna Kendricks
birthday party. And then, eventually, hes
like Okay, whats your name?
Taking every Cosmo quiz from 1995 to 2004.

Ive done the researchthats the sweet spot
for multiple-choice self-exploration.
Which girlfriends do you go out with?
Prison rodeo. Bad boys and ponies. (But

these dudes arent good date options.)
Indoor water park. All the slides and questionable
warm spots, none of the skin cancer!
German beer festival. Lederhosen and
bratwurst guaranteed.
The Pitch Perfect cast is like a big gang.

We might start out with 5 of us, but then
because there are, like, 30 of us in the
cast, itll somehow become a big group.
Elizabeth Banks had a party the other week,
and suddenly, the whole gang was there.
Baking a 14-layer cake. Itll test your patience

and the laws of physics, but its worth it.
/OUTDOORS/
Do people freak when they see the whole cast together?
We find people like to take photos of us. But also, we like to take
photos of us [laughs].
Do you feel like you have a certain role in your group of
friends when you go out?
Im more of the girl whos always in the friend zone, and I try to
help if my other friend wants to get with someone. I can be a bit
cheeky and say stuff that embarrasses my friends, but Im
78
So do you take a lot of your

social cues from Millionaire Matchmaker?
Yes, yeah [laughs]. Because

in America things are a bit different,
culturally. The way American girls describe
it, its all about who should pay and its all
about rules here. [Dating] is such a formal
thing in Los Angeles. I dont even know all
the rules.
How will you balance writing,
producing, and starring in Super
Fun Night?
I just hired Lena Dunhams assistant

[laughs]. Ive never had an assistant before!
My showrunner is from 30 Rock, and he
said Tina Fey would shoot all day, finish at
6 or 7 p.m., and then go into the writers
room for a few hours. Im trying to get
physically fit so Ill have the stamina. I got
a personal trainer. Im not doing it to look
great or whatever but to have the energy
to do all that work. People wouldnt think
it looking at me, but I can exercise!
So where does Pitch Perfect 2 fit in?
That will be early next year, probably.

Theyre being secretive about the story
line. I had pitched my own story line where the Bellas go to an
international a cappella competition, but we keep hearing
rumors about what its gonna be.
It doesnt sound like youll have a lot of time to go out

while youre working on your show.
Im trying to implement a rule where I dont work on weekends.

I get why other people in the industry crackthe workload is
intense. But I feel like you have to have a social life. Otherwise,
Ill wake up and be 40 and be like Why am I alone?

LANVIN,
FALL 2013
Q I love
colored
denim, but it
feels been
there, done
that. What
are the best
jeans for fall?
A Try printed jeans.
They are great for
transitioning from
summer to fall and are
the perfect base for
layering tanks,
sweaters, even
blazers. Just skip the
army green jacket
thats a little too much
military for one look.
Q Can I mix
silver and gold
accessories?
A Yes, please do! I love
piled up jewelrysilver,
yellow, rose gold, the
more the merrier. Some of
the best single pieces
consist of a mix of metals
that gives you a fun look
all in one item.

A White is
seasonless at this

amazing boots, for
instance. They can be
worn from season to
season. Consider
yourself ahead of the
trend for knowing that
white works anytime.

Allison Williams Asks The
Advisory Board
ALLISON: Meet the members of the Simple Advisory Board, a great new
resource for anyone to get personalized advice on the many factors that impact
our skin even the ones you wouldnt expect like tness and travel. I put my
skin through a lot each day: sun, wind, bright lights, heavy makeup, and long
hours. My skin can get irritated easily so I need all the advice I can get!
ALLISON: Im on set all day wearing makeup. How do I keep

my skin looking healthy?
ALLISON: My skin feels particularlyy irritated when I travel,

which is often! What can I do?
GITA BASS: Cleanse!

Removing makeup at the
end of each day is really
important to maintaining
beautiful skin. Also, try using
an exfoliator twice a week.
Gently bufng dead skin cells
away can avoid clogged pores and help keep your skin soft
and radiant. Whats more, it smooths the surface of your
skin so makeup goes on easier.
GITA BASS: Cleansing is really

important on long ights. My
new travel bag staple: facial
wipes. The Simple Cleansing
Wipes are easy to toss in
your bag and have no harsh
chemicals that can upset your skin,
so you can get your skin refreshingly clean without
having to maneuver around the planes tiny bathroom sink!
Dont forget to drink water frequently when ying, too. The
recycled air on airplanes can dry out skin, so its crucial you
stay hydrated.
ALLISON: And using sun protection when Im outside is just

as important, right?
DEBRA LUFTMAN: Yes,
but UV rays can penetrate
glass when youre indoors or
be present on cloudy days
too. Sun exposure is a major
contributor to skin aging,
so use a facial moisturizer
with at least SPF 15 anytime these rays are present. Try the
Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15.
ALLISON: When I work late, its hard not to get cravings. Whats
a healthy snack thats quick to prepare and good for my skin?
ELLIE KRIEGER: Homemade trail mix is skin loving,
satisfying and easy to make. Incorporate unsalted nuts,
like almonds and walnuts for healthy fats that can help limit
water loss in skin, leaving it vibrant. And add dried fruit, like
apricots, raisins and cherries, which contain avonoids that
may help protect your skin against premature ne lines.

THE HABIT Working Like Crazy

WHAT YOULL SEE Redness and Breakouts
Chronic high levels of stressa byproduct

of a competitive job market and
24/7 reachabilitytrigger your brain to
release neuropeptides that cause blushing
and sensitivity, says Adam Geyer, MD,
a dermatologist in NYC. On top of that,
your body releases an excess of androgen
hormones that bring on breakouts.
THE HABIT Partying Away Stress
WHAT YOULL SEE Wrinkles and Dullness
Drinking dehydrates skin, making fine lines

look deeper and skin dull. And alcoholplus
those carb-y snacks you house after a night
of drinkingis sugar-packed, making you
look older faster. Its called glycation, says
Dr. Geyer. Sugar impairs the production of
collagen, the stuff that keeps skin springy.
Another issue: smoke, whether you inhale
or not. Its full of collagen-eating free
radicals plus carcinogens that increase your
risk of skin cancer, says New Jersey
dermatologist Steven Wang, MD.

Squeezing in work, a FOMO-free social life,

and a little DVR time can mean late nights
during the weekand compensating ZZZs
on weekends. But an erratic sleep schedule
throws off your natural time clock, which
inhibits skins ability to stay hydrated, says
Dr. Wang. Research shows that poor
sleep weakens the barrier function, causing
moisture to escape. And chronic sleep
deprivation impairs collagen production.
After six months of sleep loss, skin starts to
lose its suppleness and glow, says Dr. Geyer.

breaks it down.
M Boyfriend Is
My
Hotter Than Me...
Writer Mary H.K.
Choi and her
boyfriend, Jon.
136
And it sucks. Ive suspected it for months,

and now that hes met all my friends, I can no
longer deny it. A pal even described us as the
funny one who dates the handsome one. Suce
it to say, I wasnt the handsome one.
We met three years ago at San Diego Comic-Con.
He lived in San Francisco and was on assignment
as a photojournalist, while I was ogging a comic
book that Id written in New York, where I live and
work as a fashion editor.
I knew he was nice to look attall and grayeyedbut I was casually appreciative. In classic
convention style, we made out at a hilarious
fusion restaurant. We lived 3,000 miles apart, and
neither one of us was in the market for anything
serious. Fourteen months later, he moved into my
tiny Brooklyn apartment.
This is how his attractiveness

snuck up on me. Wed been dating
a year but logged just six weeks
face-to-face. He didnt have a New
York look that slid neatly into a
familiar hierarchyhes outdoorsy
and rangy, sort of ABC-show hot.
In fact, he looks like Michael Vartan of Alias fame. It wasnt until
later that I discovered his colleagues referred to him as not just
Jon but handsome Jon.
By the time my entire peanut
gallery had congratulated me with
enthusiastic surprise, I was selfconscious. Sure, my eating habits
were garbage and I could stand to
run around the block, but what the
hell? It was hard enough adjusting to cramped living quarters. It
didnt help that my new roomie
looked rad with his clothes o.
I decided to take control. I
would get t, our comparative
hotness would be equalized, and
my boyfriend could suck it. I hit
the gym six days a week for resistance training, confusing muscles
in quick bursts of energy because
the internet told me to. I went on
the Paleolithic diet, which cuts
out sugar, dairy, processed foods,
and glutenbasically all the
delicious things.
Over three months, I dropped
10 pounds. I could sit in bodycon
dresses that I could previously
only stand sideways in. I was
triumphant but mean. When my
poor boyfriend bought ice cream,
it was war.
Then during an exhausting
ght about nothing (when I was
distracted by the cookie he was
eating), I had an epiphany. When
wed met, our avors of crazy
jibed beautifully. We trusted each
others tastes and loyalties and
were best friends. To begrudge
him his hotness was the ugliest
I could possibly be. Plus, hes a
dude. A dude who thinks every
woman between a size 2 and 8 is
a 4. So who cares? Besides, were
in it for the long haul, and who
knows how well age. I could take
him. Im Asian. Ill be inscrutably
well-preserved for decades during
which he could lose all his hair.
The baldness will probably bring
out his eyesbastard.

When You
Work Weird Hours
Life isnt always 9 to 5.
What do you eat when
lunch is at 3 a.m.? Some
advice from women
whose dream jobs come
with a crazy schedule.
AROUND THE CLOCK

Kelly Liken, 36
Chef and owner of Restaurant Kelly Liken, in Vail, CO
Being chef and owner, I have to juggle a lot of balls. Business has to be
done during the day, and then Im working at the restaurant until late at
night. My husband works at the restaurant nightly too, so even though
Im tempted to sleep all morning, we make time to have breakfast
together. Sometimes we even go fly-fishing for an hour or two. During the
BY MARISA COHEN

day, its hard to stop for a healthy
meal. I always have hummus and
veggies in the fridge, and on Sundays,
I make a big batch of soup and freeze
it in individual containers so I can
grab a quick but healthy snack. Also,
because Im on my feet for hours, my
shoes are really important. I have
three pairs of red Dansko clogs that I
rotate, and I never wear them longer
than six months.
THE MORNING SHIFT

Jamie Shupak, 31
Traffic anchor at NY1 News,
in New York City
Im up at 3:26 a.m. and out the door
by 3:50 a.m., Monday through Friday.
I know exactly how long it takes me!
The night before, I wash my hair,
make my breakfast protein shake
and my lunch, and pick out my
clothes. The only way to survive on
this schedule is to stay healthy. Zero
caffeine, ever. I dont drink on school
nights. I also take a daily 45-minute
power nap. My boyfriend knows he
is not allowed to be home during
my nap. I go out as much as I can,
because your other choice is to be a
hermitand what kind of life is that?
But its a beautiful schedule if you
can put up with it: I have afternoons
to myself, and I can get into any
restaurant when dinner is at 5:15!
THE LATE SHIFT

Christina Nieto-Quiroga, 29
E.R. nurse at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital, in Chicago, IL
I work from 7:30 p.m. to 8 a.m., from
Monday to Wednesday. In the middle
of the night, theres a big temptation
to go to the snack machines or grab
fast food. So I eat all my regular
meals at home and bring healthy
snacks, like yogurt, bananas,
oatmeal, and protein bars, with me
to work. I use my days off to plan
carefully when Im going to shop,
cook, and sleep throughout the week.
I fit in exercise by taking my break
toward the end of my shift at 6 a.m.,
changing into my running clothes,
and doing a 30-minute run along
Lake Michigan. Or Ill put on my
headphones and go up and down the
hospital stairs. I love mornings after
kmartfashion.com
my shift, because everyone else is

going crazy with rush hour, and Im
relaxing, eating breakfast, watching
the news, and then going to bed.
SIX DAYS A WEEK

Christina DeCicco, 28
Star of Spider-Man: Turn Off the
Dark, in New York City
Broadway performers usually work
Tuesday through Saturday nights,
plus matinees on Wednesday,
Saturday, and Sunday. When you
finish a show at 11 p.m., your body
is reeling with energy and you feel
like your day is just starting, so
a lot of actors like to go out. But my
husband has a regular 9-to-5 job,
and I prefer to come home and
decompress with him. I get home,
shower, have a cup of herbal tea,
and get into bed with a book. Our
schedules are complete opposites
he is usually coming home from
work just as Im leaving. He picks me
up at the theater every night so we
can spend the ride home together
catching up, and on Sunday nights,
when theres no performance, we
always have date night.
UNPREDICTABLE HOURS
Tzo Ai Ang, 31
Wedding planner in New York City
I can be up until three in the
morning the night of a wedding, so I
never plan two weddings back-toback. The day after an event, I keep
everything low-key. I drink lots of
water and rest. The only thing I might
have on the schedule is a massage or
maybe some yoga. Exercise is a big
part of my life, because it gives me the
energy to keep up my busy schedule.
Ive started taking online yoga
classes at home through YogaGlo
.comI love that I can do a class at
any time of the day! During events,
theres not a lot of time for upkeep, so I
put on only light makeupI use a
primer, which keeps my makeup
looking fresh, and tinted moisturizer
and loose powder instead of a heavier
foundation. That way my makeup
never feels cakey or heavy as the day
goes on. Its important to look
professional, even when Im working
all hours of the day.

Call Alexa for tips
during Wake Up! With
Taylor on August 27 at
8 a.m. ET (on Cosmo
Radio SiriusXM
Channel 108).
Hello,
lover.
you think youre getting

one. Scarcity is one: When
we think supplies are
limited, were more apt to
pull the trigger. And
watch out for the
midrange buy: If you see
three similar items, youll
probably go for the middlepriced one, even if its not
in your budget. If you
find yourself bringing a
potentially very bad idea
to the cash register, ask
the salesperson to put it on
hold for 24 hours instead
of pulling out your credit
card. Decide tomorrow if
its true love.
The Emotional Indulger

Had a bad day? Treat
yourself at the mall. Got a
promotion? Treat yourself
at the other mall.
Retail therapy: Investing
in your happiness isnt offlimits. But it needs to happen in a controlled way.
Read: within a monthly
shopping budget that
you make. Another trick?
Make tiny but frequent
splurges. Instead of a
leather jacket, maybe get
three new nail polishes.
You still get a rush but
without the debt hangover.
The Big-Time Brooder
CASHING IN
Do You Have a
SHOPPING
WEAK SPOT?
With a few tweaks, you can actually buy
happiness. Even on your salary.
BY ALEXA VON TOBEL
Shopping can be a lot like

Chinese takeout: It tastes
so good at the time, but you
feel a little sick afterward.
No longer! Whatever your
shopping personality, well
help you spend smarter.
The Sucker for a Bargain

Cosmos financial
guru and CEO
of LearnVest,
Alexa von Tobel
156
Your in-box is clogged with

flash sales, and youve
never met an outlet mall
you didnt want to make
out with.
Retail therapy: Scoring a
deal feels greatso stores
use a lot of tricks to make
You get buzzed on margs,

and three days later, youre
opening a box of stuff you
dont need from Zappos.
Retail therapy: Drinking
loosens our inhibitions
and our wallets. Stick a
note on your laptop
saying, No BUI! (buying
under the influence). If
that doesnt work, you
can block yourself from
danger-zone sites with
online apps like
SelfControl.
The Chronic Returner

You buy stuff, try it on
again at home, return it.
Rinse and repeat.
Retail therapy: Return
policies actually encourage you to buy more: As
long as you know you can
bring something back,
why not just buy it? But
returning isnt cheap. It
not only brings you back
into the store, it also takes
up valuable time. So look
back at last month. How
much time did you spend
making returns? How
much money? Were there
things you intended to
return but never did? The
numbers may surprise
you enough to wean yourself off this habit.
WorldMags.net
You love it, but do you

need it? Is it on sale?
Maybe for your birthday?
Oh, forget it.
Retail therapy: There is
such a thing as being too
frugal. At LearnVest, we
recommend allocating up
to 30 percent of your takehome pay for living your
lifeclothes, manicures,
fun stuff. If you need help
pulling the trigger on a
purchase, bring a friend
one who gets your style
and your budget.
The New-DressObsessed
Theres a wedding/formal/
barbecue/whatev this
weekend, and you want
the latest.
Retail therapy: Instead of
buying lots of things you
can wear only once, think
hard about the long-term
value your purchase gives
you. If you wear a $200
cocktail dress once, it cost
$200 per wear. If you wear
$200 jeans twice a week
for a year, they cost less
than $2 per wear. Still
dying for a new party
dress? Raid a friends
closet, swap clothes on
SwapStyle.com, or get a
loaner from Rent the Runway. Then have a blast!

Manage Your Priorities

Business owners and
leaders have dozens of
people, events, and tasks
pulling them in different
directions every day. They
have to know whats a hotpotato, must-get-done
thing and what can be put
on the back burner. Same
for you. Keep a list and
constantly prioritize your
tasks, shifting things up
160
and down the ladder.

Every time a new project
comes your way, think:
What matters most? What
can wait, and for how long?
Prioritizing every task

makes you a star. The
blowout helps too!
Take the Initiative

Its amazing what you
can solve for yourself if
you think about it before
asking for guidance. When
you hit a problemor if you
see an opportunity that
would help your employer
brainstorm courses of
action and present them
to your boss. Shes not
around to run them by?
Get things in motion. I
want an assistant who
books me on a new flight
when mine gets canceled
before I have to ask.
Keep Your Cool

So many women starting
out in a career are devastated when they dont get
gold stars for their ideas.
Youre going to have some
duds. You have to be able to
move on and churn out
another fabulous idea.
Keep your composure,
fight any urge to be

defensive, and bounce
back. Bosses get shot
down too, but the good
ones dont let anyone see
them sweat.
Give Yourself a Review
down: Not only will this

boost your confidence,
but a written record of
your wins can also help
you negotiate a raise (its
easy to forget all the great
stuff youve done over the
course of a year).
Evaluations with your

manager help determine
raises and promotions. So
its important to think
about your last review and
reflect on the stuff that
your boss will use to
measure how well youre
doing this year. If you
know theres an important
part of your job youve
shirked on, doing a selfassessment every few
months can remind you of
that fact. I dont want you
to get down on yourself
you should also celebrate
your successes and
strengths. Write them
Theres an old adage that

if you want to be the boss,
dress like the boss. I
dont mean you need to
look like your supervisors
mini-me. But if youre
ever worried your look
might raise eyebrows,
wear something else.
Whatever your personal
style or workplace, a
young woman with a crisp
outfit, tidy nails, and neat
hair always looks confident and pulled together.
In other words, she looks
like a CEO-to-be.
WorldMags.net
Dress the Part
NICK ONKEN
Ask the Tough Questions

As much as we complain
about our managers, admit
that its kind of awesome
having a buffer between
you and the head honcho.
The downside? Its easy to
fall into a trap of depending
on your boss to fix little
stuff before she sends it
up the flagpole. Always
channel your supervisor:
Are there typos? Issues
that arent resolved?
Questions that havent
been answered? Address
all of it. You get no points
for saying, Oh yeah, that
occurred to me too, when
she kicks it back to you.

YOUR MORNING QUICKIES
Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, both 27, founders of The Skimm
After meeting abroad in college, Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin
reunited while working at NBC in Manhattan. It was there that the
two info-hounds decided to launch their own news venture. We
had friends asking, I had a crazy day. What happened in the world?
or Ive got an interview tomorrow. Give me something to talk
about, recalls Weisberg. We realized there was a void in the
market. To fill it, they launched TheSkimm.com, a site that sends
subscribers an easy-to-digest newsletter of bite-size news stories
every morning. While they wont disclose exact numbers, The
Skimms subscriber base has tripled since last spring alone. Were
still in the fund-raising process, says Zakin, and were excited to
grow even bigger this year. (Follow them @TheSkimm.)

THE EDUCATION REVELATION

Chelesa Fearce, 17, student
The hardest part was studying at night. I
had to use a cell-phone light because the
shelter turned off the lights at 8 p.m.,
says Chelesa Fearce, valedictorian of her
Georgia high school, who spent time in
and out of homeless shelters while earning a 4.529 GPA. Fearce enters Spelman
College this month as a junior, because
she spent the past two years of high
school earning college credits at a nearby
university. To avoid going to school hungry, I became a tutor so someone might
buy me lunch. Fearce racked up As, despite missing classes when she couldnt
find a ride. Now, Fearce plans to steer her
full ride toward a medical career. Shell be
living in a dorm thats 10 minutes away
from her familys new house. After years
in shelters, Fearce now has two places to

THE FILM FEMINIST

Haifaa al-Mansour, 38, director
When Haifaa al-Mansour was growing up in Saudi Arabia,
the public viewing of film was illegal. I watched VHS tapes
at home, she recalls of her first encounter with cinema.
I knew I wanted to tell stories that way. Al-Mansour has
become Saudi Arabias first female filmmaker, and this
month sees the release of her first feature film, Wadjda.
After it was screened at the Telluride Film Festival, Sony
Pictures Classics bought the distribution rights for North
America. Wadjda follows a young girls quest to obtain and
ride a bicyclean act that is still restricted in Saudi
Arabiaand al-Mansour was forced to direct the entire
feature via walkie-talkies in a van parked outside the movie
set, because Saudi law prohibits women and men from
working alongside each other. It was difficult, and I felt
frustrated often, she says, but its important not to let
things like this stop you and to keep pushing forward.

CHEATING
In most cultures,
cheating means
kissing someone
else, the end.
But these lands
have more leeway.
NETHERLANDS As soon as there is sexual

tension in any way, thats cheating.
THAILAND Secretly talking to other people.
BRAZIL Cheating is kissing someone, even if
youre drunk; going out with someone while
traveling, even if youre sure nobodys going to
find out; talking to someone in a bar for the whole
evening without mentioning that youre in a
relationship; going out for drinks with a friend
and meeting someone with whom you had a
history; and online sex, online flirting, and sexting.
But talking to an ex on Facebook is okay, even
if you dont tell your partner about it. Funny
fact: Men here consider this cheating.
CHINA Its cheating when physical sex is
involved. But a lot of women are talking about
soul cheating, which is even worse. People will
usually tolerate cheating if it happens only
once. If it happens again, some people seek a
revenge cheat in order to maintain the
relationship. SPAIN Creating intimacy with
someone you are attracted to. It doesnt matter
how: texting, having dinnerif youre willing
to do that, better to break up with your
boyfriend before. PHILIPPINES It starts with
emotional intimacy with others. UK Anything
that betrays trust in a relationship. There is
debate about emotional cheatingmore and
more people flirt online or send pictures or
content that might be deemed inappropriate by
their partner. This depends on the boundaries
within each relationship. More often than not,
cheating leads to a splitsometimes
temporary, sometimes permanent. ARGENTINA
ITALY
To have sex with another person constitutes

cheatingand it results in a split up. Other
possibilitiessexting or fantasiesare not so
serious. LATIN AMERICA Kissing is considered
cheating, but its deemed forgivable until the
offender does it a second time. GERMANY
Flirting is okay. Kissing is a reason for
discussion but not for splitting because of
cheating. Sex is cheating at its worst.

SEX TOYS
Hands down,
vibrators are the
most popular sex
toy, specifically the
Rabbit. But here are
some other faves.
FRANCE The little vibrating duck. One brand is

called I Rub My Duckie. Its a waterproof floating
rubber duckie that doubles as a vibrator. And
FYI: According to a European sex-toy site that
sells it, the beak and tail of the duckie are
particularly clit pleasing. Um, good to know!
ARGENTINA Favorites are the butterfly vibrator
and dildos. BRAZIL Sexy costumes are fairly
popular. LATIN AMERICA Cock rings are
popular. ITALY The new trend is the We-Vibe 3
vibrator. You and your guy use it togetherit
stimulates your G-spot and clitoris and his
penis all at once, and its waterproof. A girl
who tried it with her boyfriend told Italian
Cosmo it was a totally explosive experience!
AUSTRALIA Smile Makers vibrators are
popular. Launched in 2012, theyre aimed at
vibrator virgins, come in four small shapes, and
have names that are purposefully nonsexual:
the tennis coach, the millionaire, the
Frenchman, and the fireman. [Editors note:
Wait, since when are firemen nonsexual?]

LADY OF
THE NIGHT
I met this
beautiful Italian
man one night in
Rome, and we
ended up getting a
room in a cheap
hotel (he still lived
with his mother).
In the morning, I
freakedId just
met this guy!so
I decided to sneak
out. But when I
got to the lobby,
the owner looked
at me in my
smudged makeup
and obvious
morning-after
dress, and started
screaming,
Prostituta!
Prostituta! He,
and everyone else
there, thought I

MAKING A
SEX TAPE
Women in most
countries are all
about sending
sexy pics to their
SO. Sex tapes, on
the other hand?
Not so much.
FRANCE Making a sex tape? Unimaginable.

Gross. Yeurk. Just a porn thing. ITALY Its a
nice idea, but the attitude is Be careful if the
story ends. LATIN AMERICA Cosmo readers
here make a sex tape only [if theyve been
dating someone] for at least six months.
THAILAND Most of their partners have asked
[if they could make a sex tape], but the women
here do not think it is safe enough.
But if you and your man do decide to make one, we
suggest you follow this wise advice from the UK,
Aussie, and Netherlands Cosmo editors.
UK British women are well-versed in the rule
that you should use your own phone to record
anything and delete the video after youve
watched it! AUSTRALIA A lot of women send
sexties [sexts] and make sex tapes. We warn
them to do it carefully and with someone they
trust. NETHERLANDS Just dont photograph your
head! Or, you know, scream each others first
and last names during your performance!

at which a woman

I met a married

replied, Oh, life!

Its a global
toss-up re:
finding love
online. Heres
the breakdown.
One in five
couples here
meets online
its a key tool for
finding love.
UK
Its getting more
popular. A lot of
people are still
skeptical, but
thats changing.
Australia
A last resort
and not
considered
very safe.
Chile
For the most part, threesomes

arent that popular (Brazil, Chile,
China, France, Hungary,
Philippines, Portugal, Spain,
Thailand, Australia, and the UK
all say theyre iffy about them). But
here, three may not be a crowd.
ARGENTINA Having one is risky business, but its a fantasy that more
people are willing to try as time goes on. GERMANY Women dream about
having sex with two men. But their boyfriends dream about sleeping with
two girlsand they dont want to have sex with another man. So its difficult.
ITALY The feeling is that either young couples have threesomes during
college or older couples over age 40 have them. LATIN AMERICA Theyre
not a common practice, but about half the women here say theyd try
having one with another woman if their boyfriends asked them.
NETHERLANDS Here, its more of a mens dream. Women see it more as a
onetime experiment. SOUTH AFRICA Interested.
When I was 27, my boyfriend broke up with me right before I went to climb Machu Picchu, in
Peru, with my friend. I felt so vulnerable that I ended up throwing myself at our 16-year-old tour
guide, Jon, on the last day of our trek. We didnt have sex, but he did go down on me and it was
amazing. I was embarrassed about my hookup with a teen for a long time and never told a soul,
but Ive come to terms with it now.I also felt better when I read that the age of consent in Peru is
14. I still keep in touch with Jonhes a surprising constant in my life. Bree, 31

SE X Q & A
NO-B S RE SP ONSE S
TO QUES TIONS YOU CA N
ONLY ASK CO SMO
Lean back a
few inches and
youre golden.
A Size matters for a lot of things, like closets and coffee

orders. But because most women dont orgasm from
penetrative sex to begin with, a small penis is no big deal
(pun intended). Its so much more about how he uses what
hes got, including his hands, says Gina Ogden, PhD,
author of Expanding the Practice of Sex Therapy. Two
positions that will make him feel more substantial and
give him free rein to touch your hot spot: (1) Kneel on top
of him and lean back; tilting away shortens your vaginal
canal, so he feels bigger, like a penile illusion. (2) Stick a
pillow under your butt to elevate your pelvis when hes on
top. Youll never have to wonder Is it in? ever again.
Q Why does my boyfriend sometimes

lose his erection during sex?
A The occasional power outage is normal, assures
Abraham Morgentaler, MD, author of Why Men Fake It.
(If its happening frequently, he should see a urologist.)
The culprit could be physicalsmoking, alcohol, injury
to the penisor psychological. Anything from work
stress to not feeling super connected can contribute to a
sudden softie. When it happens, assure him its NBD,
and make a firm (ba-dum ching) date for a do-over.
174
Q Im a
25-year-old
virgin. Should I
tell guys? How?
A Plenty of
20somethings are
in the same boat, so
at least youre not a
unicorn. But definitely
fess up before you get
busy. First-time sex
is awkward, and its
only going to make
things weirder if you
pretend youre some
kind of seasoned sex
goddess. Mention it
when youre already
engaged in some PG
kissing activity. Ogden
suggests phrasing
it in a light, flirty way
like, Im a newbie
at this, so when we
take it further, be
gentle with me. If
hes worth losing
your V-card to, this
news wont send
him packing.
SHAKE IT UP!
Q Sex with my
boyfriend has
become meh.
How can I talk
to him about
improving it?
A Having a serious
talk can be overkill. Take
action instead, says
Arlene Goldman, PhD, a
sex therapist in Philadelphia. Physically breaking
out of a routine once
makes it easier to try
other new things and
gets the fun sex ball
rolling. Wake him up for
a hot midnight quickie,
or have a naughty game
night with Cosmos
new Kinky Sex Games
cards. Each
describes a
sexcapade to

As a child, my mom taught me not to make

judgments based on appearancesespecially
about women. Then I started online dating.
On a dating site, the first, second, and third things
every person looks atmale or female but probably
especially maleare the photos. This is because its
human nature and also because the words people use
to describe themselveslaid-back, fun lovingblur
together, while photos trigger an instant reaction:
cool, hot, obnoxious, adorable, scary. Dont judge a
book by its cover? Then by what? Its adjectives?
Like everyone else, I grapple with that weird
wrestling match between who I am (apparently, a
superficial jerk who makes assumptions based on
pixels) and who I feel I ought to be (an enlightened
gentleman). As in real life, I see someone and cant
help but feel attracted or not, and often, I even
imagine a whole storya voice, a personality, a date,
sex, a life togetherbased on nothing but a blurry
selfie. Only on a dating site, Im not seeing someone
as she naturally exists. Im seeing the photos she
pickedIm seeing how she wants to be seen.
The vast majority of womens online-dating photos
make them seem awesome: Everyones smiling and
happy and having fun with lots of friendsoften
while traveling, showing some skin, and holding a
cocktail, pet, pal, or instrument. Sometimes, after
clicking on hundreds of photos, I begin to see
patterns emerging (my male friends admit to having
similar observations). I know I probably overthink
what these pictures mean (not every woman who
posts pics like these fits my admittedly superficial
profiling). But heres my breakdown.

TTHE ETERNAL SORORITY GIRL

In every photo, shes surrounded by a
gaggle of happy friendsall hugging and
squeezing and smiling. At first, I have no
idea which one is her. Then I find her in
the crowd and worry that dating her will
be like dating the whole sorority and
everyone will gossip about us, always.
THE CAT LADY

The girl is cute, but that cats adorable.
There it is again! Does this woman have
human friends? Its hard to tell with the
cat in the foreground in every shot.
THE WOMAN WITH THE CUTE GUY FRIEND

Is he there because he looks like the guy
she wants to date? And if so, is she
carrying an unrequited crush? Is he
competition? Or is he just photo-bombing
all her pictures because hes a stalker?

TTHE BRIDESMAID
Some women are literally always a
bridesmaid: A different satin dress and
matching flower arrangement in every
shot. No matter how happy she looks, Im
always worried Ill have to propose within
a month or shell throw rice in my face.
THE YOGA PRETZEL

Then there are women who post photos
showing how crazy flexible they are. Its
virtually impossible not to have dirty
thoughts as youre looking at a girl downdogging in tight Lululemon. Are these
pics proof of spiritual depth or ads for a
twisty bod? I see them as soulful pinups.
THE GIRL WITH THE CROPPED-OUT MAN

Who is he? Did she go to the extra trouble
of blurring out his face because she loved
this blurry shot of herself so much? Or
did she not have any photos without him?
178
In reality, Ive found that my impressions of a

womans photos only sometimes match up with her
personality: The one with the big smile turns out to
be depressed. The one with the scowl turns out to be
lovely. One woman with goofy photos turned out to
be serious; another turned out to be an as-advertised
spaz. Basically, I think we just overthink other
peoples photos because theyre all we have to go on
but we dont think much about our own. This hit me
about a year ago during a fishing for compliments
ceremonythat sacred exchange that occurs on the
second or third date, when one person asks, So
whyd you e-mail me? Which translates as: Tell me
why you want me.
So when a lovely woman Id somehow snookered
into a second date asked that of me, I rambled on
about how she was Southern like me and had a kid
from a previous relationship like meBut, yeah, I
admitted, it was the photos.
Her photos were artsyfuzzed-out just enough
that I could tell she was pretty, but they were a bit
mysterious too. Her face was obscured behind wild,
curly blonde hair and big sunglasses. The photos led
me to believe that she was upbeat, stylish, fun. In
person, she was flat-out stunning: a mile-a-day
swimmer with such cool fashion sense that shes a
regular on street-style blogs. I asked you out
because I thought you might be gorgeous, I told her,
but I never expected this. I may have placed my
hand on her thigh. Corny, I know.
Then I fished for my compliment. I thought that
photo of you was so funny, she told me.
Ah, the skeleton I said. Not the flattery I was
looking for, but it was a killer Halloween costume.
Nothe one of you in your jeans!
I was confused. In that one, Im just standing
barefoot in my living room, wearing a tee shirt and
jeans, as I do almost every day. Id picked it because it
felt the most like me (and yes, it was taken in that
too-brief period during which I was doing lots of
push-ups). Wait, what was funny about it?
She laughed. You know.
I did not know.
You really dont know?
I really did not know.
I thought it was a joke! Shes giggling now. You
were just smiling andwait, you really dont know?
Your fly was unzipped!
She thought Id been making fun of myself and
the online-dating thing. Nope. I was just an idiot.
All that time, Id been overthinking everything
about everyone elses photos. But I hadnt even taken
a second look at my own. I realized how absurd all
my overthinking had beenand I just felt lucky to
have met a lovely woman who, yes, truly had a great
sense of humor. So I ordered another round of
drinks, and we had a blast.
The lesson I learned: Dont overthink peoples
photos. Dont overthink anything. If someone
strikes youfor whatever reasonjust go out, hope
for the best, enjoy a drink, and see what happens.

MORE AND MORE WOMEN ARE DECIDING THEIR PATH

TO HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER ISNT DOWN AN AISLE. WHY ARE
SO MANY WOMEN GETTING MARRIED LATER IN LIFE
OR NOT AT ALLAND ARE THERE CONSEQUENCES?
BY IRIN CARMON
JUST-MARRIED NECKLACE, KATE SPADE NEW YORK; LARGE LOVE NECKLACE, SYDNEY EVAN; ALL OTHER NAMEPLATE NECKLACES, BAUBLEBAR.
PHOTOGRAPHED BY GRANT CORNETT
Why dont you make an honest woman of her?

Whitley Louvier and her boyfriend of seven years, Brad,
were enjoying his coworkers wedding when the bosss
wife started giving Brad a hard time.
I was so irritated! Im honest now, Louvier, 24, a
psychology student living near Houston, Texas, says
about the comment. We already live together. She
assumed that I was longing for him to propose.
If anything, the opposite is true. Her boyfriend has
tried to convince her to consider marriage and
sometimes even introduces Louvier as his wife. But
while Louvier has nothing but good things to say about
her boyfriend, she isnt in any hurry to get hitched. I
dont even want to think about getting married until Im
29 or 30. I want to have at least my masters degree.
As for the boss and his wife, A week later, it turned out
they were getting a divorce, says Louvier. So why was she
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
so intent on getting Louvier to

join the institution she was
leaving? Maybe she was
thinking about all she
would have to do to get a
divorcesplit the house,
they have kidsand was
jealous, Louvier speculates.
Misery loves company.
Louvier may feel people question
her choices, but she isnt alone in
waiting for a wedding. You wouldnt
know it from the ever-elaborate,
fairy-tale nuptials all over TV, but
young women in America are not
becoming an army of wannabe
bridezillas. Theyre delaying marriage or, increasingly, not getting
married at all at a rate that is only
accelerating. In 1970, 60 percent of
women between the ages of 20 and
24 were married, and 90 percent of
women were married by the time
they were 29. In contrast, in 2010,
only 20 percent were married by 24,
and 50 percent by age 29. According
to sociologist Philip Cohen, at the
current rate of decline, the percentage of people getting married will
hit zero at around 2042. (Obviously,
thats highly unlikely, but the
decline doesnt seem to be leveling
anytime soon.)
This is unprecedented, says
Rebecca Traister, author of a forthcoming book about unmarried
women (Simon & Schuster, 2014).
Marriage has never happened this
late or been this infrequent in the
history of the country.
Thats partly because women no
longer need marriage for security
and they might have seen the
traditional plan end up not working
particularly well for their parents.
At the same time, young people are
struggling with debt and an
uncertain economy, which makes
longer-term planning tough.
When marriage does happen
today, it looks different than before.
For thousands of years, people had
little choice about whether and
whom to marry and almost no choice
in whether or not to have children,
writes Stephanie Coontz in Marriage,
a History. Death ended many
marriages sooner than divorce does
today. A husband owned his wifes
property, earnings, and sexuality and
had the final word on all decisions.
182
The world changed. People are

living longer, more healthful lives,
so theres less pressure to marry or to
procreate while young. And womens
ability to prosper emotionally and
financially on their own is at an alltime high. As of the most recent
census, 25 percent fewer men than
women receive college degrees. And
those women are going out into the
workforce with those degrees. A half
century ago, if you went to college
and werent engaged by the time you
graduated, you got nervous, says
sociologist and Johns Hopkins
University professor Andrew J.
Cherlin. Today, if my Hopkins
undergraduates do get married
while theyre in college, their parents
get nervous.
The numbers say those parents
are right. According to a study done
by the National Marriage Project,
Knot Yet: The Benefits and Costs of
Delayed Marriage in America,
women earn more money if they
wait until theyre 30 or older to get
married. For college-educated
women in their mid-30s, this
premium amounts to $18,152 per
year. And women who wait longer
but do wed reap other benefits: The
divorce rate in the U.S. has gone
down partly because couples who
marry in their teens and early 20s
Marriage
has never
happened this
late or been

in the history
of the country.
are more likely to divorce than

couples who marry later.
Recently, despite statistical
trends, theres been a media
drumbeat pounding in favor of
younger marriage. In the spring,
Susan Patton, the so-called
Princeton Mom, became a
sensation when she urged the
young women of the college to find
a husband on campus before you
graduate....You will never again be
surrounded by this concentration
of men who are worthy of you. In
Newsweek, libertarian writer
Megan McArdle suggested that as
more women without a college
degree are having kids on their own
while educated women shell out for
fertility treatments, its time to
revisit the notion that marriage
should wait until the other parts of
your life are figured out.
These arguments may be trying
to shove a genie back in a bottle.
Whenever women are liberated in
some way, theres almost an
automatic desire to put them back in
a box, says Traister. You used to be
counted only if you were married.
Now you count on your own.
In her best-selling book Lean In,

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg
writes about being told to marry
young to get a good man before
they are all taken. So at 24, she
obliged, convinced that marriage
was a firstand necessarystep to
a happy and productive life. A year
later, she was divorced. Its really
important to be a fully formed adult
when you get married, Sandberg
tells Cosmo. I got married too
young. She doesnt believe in telling women the right time for taking
life steps, saying simply, Its not
about when, its about whom.
The idea of being a fully formed
adult before marriage makes sense
to many young women, even those
who may have already found the
right guy. Lee Allen, a sociology
student in Atlanta who also works
in a restaurant, says she and her
boyfriend are pretty serious and
plan to move in together. But thats
itfor now. I take marriage
seriously. If I do get married, I want
everything else in my life under
control, she explains.

often travel. I think about getting

relocated, she says. Although she
and her boyfriend just celebrated
their third anniversary, when she
thinks about that potentially globetrotting future, I dont always
picture it with Dan.
But when her boyfriend brings
up marriage, Coppa says, I say to
him, Are you sure youre done?
Brad Wilcox, the director of the

National Marriage Project, says
this reflects current trends: The
increasing age at first marriage
has been linked in part to women
and men trying to establish themselves before marriage, he says.
Its called a capstone marriage,
something people do once theyve
achieved milestones.
Marriage was the first step to
adulthood. Now, its almost the
last, agrees Cherlin.
Women tend to benefit economically from capstone marriages,

says Traister: If you come into a
marriage with more power, youre
going to be able to exert your
preferences more, rather than be
dependent on a husband.
Postponing matrimony also
means women may have more
freedom to take opportunities that
come their way. Kaylie Coppa, 26,
works for a pharmaceutical
company where senior employees

If young women are delaying

marriage, its not just because
theyre looking to find themselves.
As a generation loaded with
skyrocketing student debt and
coming of age in a tough economy,
they have deeply practical reasons.
My mother had me at 26. But she
was more ahead than I am because
of my student loans, says Coppa,

Hurricane Sandy devastated New
Jersey and she had to move in with
her boyfriend, who was already
living with two roommates.
Although a few of her friends are
getting engaged, Coppa says, Id
rather buy a house. I feel pressure to
do both, but I feel like Im not ready
to do either. I dont want to end up
married living with roommates.
Increasingly, marriage is something chosen by the most privileged
in America, as people without a
college degree have become the least

likely to get married. Virginia

Ferguson, a 27-year-old massage
therapist in Illinois, puts it bluntly:
Marriage is dating for wealthier
people. The cost of the license, the
ceremony, the potential divorce are
luxuries you can buy into.
And yet marriage (as opposed to
a wedding) carries with it financial
benefits. Nena do Nascimento,
a 27-year-old public health
researcher in Washington, D.C.,
never really planned to marry but
recently got engaged. Her decision
was based in emotionYou reach
a point when the terms boyfriend
and girlfriend dont make sense
anymore and marriage clicks
but also practical: As a married
couple, we can share insurance
and there are benefits if we buy
property.
But those considerations
register only if you expect financial
stabilitywhich for some
demographics, notably workingclass men, is no longer the case.
And many young
women had
examples in their
lives they have
no interest in
replicating. Says
Ferguson,
When my
parents got
divorced, my dad
ruined their
credit. Id
wondered if there
was an emergency that would
make me feel like I needed to get
married. But Id rather pay in other
ways, instead of risking paying for
a divorce.
Do Nascimentos fianc, Alan,
changed her mind about marriage,
partly because he saw it as such a
positive, beautiful thing. He grew
up with parents in a very solid,
committed relationship, and he
wanted that, says do Nascimento,
who was raised by a single mom.
Interestingly, even as American
women are ambivalent about
marriage in their 20s, they arent
as conflicted about having kids.
The thing I want more than
marriage, I think, is kids, says
Allen. (Not right now though: I
cant even take care of myself yet.)
But, she adds, thats not contingent on being married. According

to Knot Yet, by the time American
women turn 30, about two-thirds
have had a baby. And nearly half of
first births are to women who
arent married, mostly in their 20s.
College-educated women make up
only about 10 percent of women
having babies outside of marriage,
says Wilcox of the National
Marriage Project.
Women often were forced to
choose between an education and a
husband, Coontz wrote in a New
York Times op-ed. She quoted
Popular Science Monthly from
1905, which said education gave
women a self-assertive,
independent character that made
it impossible to love, honor, and
obey like they were supposed to.
But now, educated women are
likelier to marry, and when they do,
Coontz says that research shows
their husbands are more likely to
help around the house and that can
lead to better sex
lives.
All of these
shifts add up to
women today
having more
options than
ever and more
than one path to
a happy,
fulfilling adult
life. Exploding
the earlymarriage imperative is not about
saying that marriage or early
marriage is bad, says Traister.
Its about saying, wait a minute,
there are millions of women with
millions of needs and desires.
Were adjusting our eyes to the
variety of ways that women live.
For do Nascimento, staying
open to all possibilities was the
best recipe for finding happiness.
While at 27 she is still building her
career, shes glad she didnt close
herself off to possibilities in her
personal life. Once we got
engaged, our relationship
strengthened and improved, she
says. Deciding to get married
when, to whom, and if it feels right
to you? That sounds like a fairytale ending to us.
More than
one path
to a happy,
fulfilling adult
life exists.

Im 22 years old, I have a good

for myself, but I havent had any
luck. Are my standards too high?
A You dont need to lower your standards, but
you do need to raise the age of the guys youre
meeting. Scientific studies have shown that the
typical 22-year-old guy is an idiot. He doesnt
know what he wants, he may still be in school,
and he invests what little money he has in video
games and bongs. Theres nothing wrong with
thatyou dont have to figure out life by 22. But
theres also nothing wrong with wanting a stable
guy. So consider guys in their late 20s to early
30s. Grab a friend, and head to a bar that attracts
an older crowd. Or date online, and sort matches
by age. Youll meet someone up to par eventually.

crappy positionand thats your

boyfriends fault, because he clearly
told the ex to ask you directly. Ill give
him the benefit of the doubt and
assume he did that because he
mistakenly thought it was the
respectful thing to do and not
because hes a spineless weasel.
Regardless, explain to him that he
should have discussed it with you
rather than putting you on the spot.
Then write back to the ex telling her
that youre really sorry but you guys
cant swing it that weekend (no need
to give her a reason). For bonus
points, tell her that youre still looking forward to seeing her.
Q I usually love my
dudes outfit choices,
but lately, he has this
weird obsession with
buying neon green shirts.
Will I totally hurt his
feelings if I tell him his
shirts are giving me
migraines?
A Behold! I shall now use my
psychic powers: Your boyfriend is a
golf fan. I assume that because a lot
of todays professional golfers wear
loud clothing. They can get away
with it because theyre rich, famous
athletes. Your guy isnt wearing
these shirts because its a
meaningful expression of the real
him. Hes wearing them because he
saw it on TV. So no, you will not
totally hurt his feelings. Tell him
that you love his style except for the
kryptonite-colored shirts, and could
he save those for the golf course?
Q I was having sex with
boycott cheesy Hallmark

holidays like Valentines
Day, but now he wont
acknowledge birthdays
and our anniversary. How
can I get him to?
A Actually, you should just break
a guy Ive been hooking

up with, and he said to
me, I dont want you
doing this with anyone
else. Is he asking me to
be exclusive? Or should I
not take anything a dude
says during sex seriously?
A You should definitely take it
up with him and go out with me.

Okay, Im kidding, but its unusual to
find a woman who doesnt care about
Valentines Day. Its also ridiculous
that the bozo youre dating doesnt
understand the difference between
V Day and meaningful holidays.
Hes clearly not intuitive enough to
pick up on subtle hints, so you need
to be straight with him. Say, I dont
care about Valentines Day, but
birthdays and anniversaries are
important to me, and I want us to
acknowledge them. I doubt hell
have a problem with that, but if he
does, consider my offer.
seriouslyI guarantee he would

prefer it if you slept exclusively
with him. Thing is, he didnt say, I
dont want to do this with anyone
else either. Meaning, he may have
no intention of sleeping exclusively
with you. Now, this is an easily
solved situation. First, figure out
what you want. If youre happy
simply hooking up with him, youre
good. But if you want more, tell him,
I have a lot of fun with you, but Id
like us to be more than just a hookup.
What do you think? If hes into it,
great. If not, stop hooking up with
him before you get hurt.

I got married
I Fought
for the Right
to Get
Married
and Now Im
Divorced
DeseRae L. Stage made history as
one of the first legally married
lesbians in New York State. Now, her
split is making history too.
196
in Central Park on
a hot July afternoon in 2011, just six days
after the Marriage Equality Act went into
effect, making me one of the first gay people
to be married legally in New York State. I
wore magenta Chuck Taylors and black
skinny jeans. My wife-to-be, Katie, wore a
matching party dressmagenta with black
hearts. We were both 28 years old when we
walked down the aisle to Pachelbels Canon in
D. I took her hand and promised to be her
wife, her lover, and her best friend to the end
of my days. She promised the same.
Katie and I are both from Kendall, a
suburb of Miami, Florida. We met on the first
day of middle school but ran with totally
different crowds. I was a band geek, and at 15,
I started to realize I liked girls. Katie was too
popular with the preppy boys to think about
what kissing a girl might feel like.
We connected on Myspace when we were
both in our mid-20s. I was starting to make my way as a
photographer in New York City, and Katie was a massage
therapist in Miami. Id been out for about a decade by
then, and Katie was just starting to realize that she was
attracted to women. Over time, our talks took on sexual
overtones. We agreed to meet when I came home for
Thanksgiving. This time around, something clicked in a
way it hadnt when we were younger.
We fell fast. I loved Katies spontaneity and biting
sense of humor; she was attracted to my bookishness
and creativity. A few months into our relationship, she
was let go from her job. We took that as a sign, and she
left Miami to start a new life with me in New York.
I remember the exact moment I realized I wanted
to marry her. It was January 2010, deepest winter,
miserable and windy. I was starting the subway
commute uptown from my office to our apartment
in Washington Heights. I fired up my iPod, and Out
of the Woods by Nickel Creek started playing. In that
moment, I saw our dream wedding: twinkly lights at
dusk, sweet-tea cocktails served in Mason jars, and the
two of us dancing in a barn. I came home that night,
excited and fearful, and told her what Id envisioned as
we were making dinner. She agreed excitedly and
started buying wedding magazines that very week.
In 2010, the prospect of marriage equality in New
York was still uncertain, so we started to plan a giant

wedding in Boston, the closest city in which gay

marriage was legal. We didnt want to rush it, so we set
a date more than two years in the future. By the
summer of 2011, though, the Marriage Equality Act
was up for a vote in New York.
As a teenager, I was traumatized by the movie If
These Walls Could Talk 2. In it, two elderly women are in
love. When one of them dies in the hospital, the other is
not given any updates because shes not considered
family. She never gets to say good-bye. That fear was the
impetus for our decision to marry legally in New York
should the law pass. A judge here in New York would
not be required to recognize a same-sex marriage performed elsewhere. So marrying under a statute in our
state of residence would give us the protection the
woman in the movie had been denied.
On June 24, 2011, the New York Marriage Equality
Act passed. We were ecstatic. Soon after, we were
selected (along with 23 other couples) to be a part of
a near-impromptu event called the Pop-Up Chapel,
put together by a group of awesome gay-marriage
supporters (since wed already put deposits down on
the Boston wedding, we decided wed do another
ceremony there later). We were pronounced wife and
wife by Dave Holmes of MTVs Wanna Be a VJ fame.
The Village Voice covered the event. Yahoo! asked me
to write about it. I felt like a proud spokesperson for gay
marriage. I never imagined Id be the poster child for
gay divorce less than a year later.
Six months after we married, I stumbled upon a suspicious e-mail from Katie to a woman she had met on
Instagram. It said, Youre beautiful. I confronted her,
and she denied anything was going on. I didnt believe
her, and on her 29th birthday, I found evidence. I dont
condone reading your partners e-mail, but I felt it was
the only way I could learn the truth. She was telling this
woman things like I almost love you and planning
secret rendezvous. I printed out every e-mail, and when
Katie came home that night, I threw them in her face.
I did all the things you do when such a loss befalls
you. I sobbed. I stopped eating. I went ape-shit bananas
all over the Internet, leaving a trail of my very raw feelings on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I traded a
six-pack of beer for a tattoo on my inner forearm in a
loopy script: Dont Panic. But I did panic. I panicked for
months. I seriously considered jumping off the George
little less than $500. But emotionally, it cost me a lot

more. On a very basic level, I dont really know that my
divorce is all that different from your run-of-the-mill
heterosex ual divorce. The major difference, to me, is
that heterosexual divorces are common and readily
accepted. Ive even heard straight friends on the brink
of getting married say things like Well, if it doesnt
work out, theres always divorce. Homosexual divorce,
on the other hand, is virtually unheard of, thanks to
our countrys civil-rights inequities, which makes
the experience uniquely lonely (fewer opportunities for
legal marriage, fewer divorces). I think theres also

a pressure for gays and lesbians to stay married so that

we can prove something, although I never personally
felt it. Even though plenty of people would say that my
lifestyle isnt traditional, my values and views on
marriage very much are. I said forever, and I meant
forever. Losing that was devastating.
As time wore on, it became easier to reenvision a
potentially happy future for myself. I shifted my focus
from wedding photography (which was, ironically, how I
made my living) and toward a series of portraits of
suicide-attempt survivors, a project that Id been stalled
on for a long time and that has now garnered a huge
amount of success and support. Watching my marriage
crumble has left me with a certain level of bitterness
though. Im less inclined to pay
attention to marriage-equality
news now. Its too painful.
Would I get married again? I
dont know. I want a lifelong
partner with whom I can build
a family, but Im plagued with
the fear that Ill never get it
right because I already failed at it once. Knowing myself
is as important as finding someone else to love, and
these days, I spend a lot of time thinking about what it
takes to make a lasting commitment. I dont know if Ill
ever know the whole answer, but I do know that Ill keep
searching. The legality of the thing is pointless without
a strong foundation to hold it up.
My views on marriage are very

traditional. I said forever, and I meant
forever. Losing that was devastating.

proceedings go, I think we got pretty lucky. We had no
shared assets and no children. After all was said and
done, the divorce process took four months and cost a

I spent the next week or so hovering

in this new idea of myself, like a
downtrodden, oh, I dont know,
intern, who had just discovered her
superhero alter ego. I walked the
streets in my new suit, eager for
confirmation that I hadnt hallucinated the whole thing. I bought an
extension cord and slept with the
phone by my head.
I tried to focus on work, on submitting my rsum and not letting
ludicrous daydreams, like being the
next Carla Bruni, creep in. I actually
tuned in on myself having a heated
debate over whether I would stick
with American designers or dare to
go foreign like Jackie.
Jamie is summoned to the Oval Office

numerous times over the next seven
months. That is, until his secretary
calls to end their affair just days after
the President has offered to help her
land a real job.
JANUARY 28 (The next year)

I know jumping every time he called
makes me seem like, at best a
lapdog, at worst a call girl, but given
the nature of our placement in the
world it could never have been the
other way around, so I didnt dwell
there. He couldnt show up at my
apartment. Or send flowers. It was
risky to have even bought me gifts.
He could only call.
When I was ushered into the
room, he stood there in his pinstriped pants, red tie slightly
loosened. The veins at his temples
were visible, and his fingers pushed
against the leather blotter. There
was no acknowledgment of any
kind. Of my arrival. Of the fact that

Id sat astride him in that leather
chair. That he had broken my heart.
Leaving the door ajar as always, I
crossed to the other side of his desk.
I got a call from Lewis, he said.
Yes. I nodded, nails taking
position against the flesh of my
palm.
Crying will only make you seem
morewhatever it is he decided you
are. Cry at home.

um, calling you, Im surethis

My fingers opened. I did?
You did.
Thank you!
No need to thank me. They
loved you. You got raves all the way
around. Not that Im surprised.
And its not really an unpaid
internship wearing an Elmo
costume in Times Square?
He let out a short laugh. Youd
make a great Elmo. But no.
Well, I really appreciate your
making the call. Wow. Wow.
So youre on your way, then.
Thats what you I faltered when
he looked at me, hopefully.
And suddenly everythingpaidoff loans, a secure roof over my
headseemed worthless by comparison. In that second, given the
option, I would have lived the rest of
my life suspended in the revelation
that he still wanted me. His hands
hovered at his sides, as they had
that first time, and it was evident
that this was there for meif only
until he was called to his next
emergency.
He quickly rounded the desk.
I need to show you something.
Greg, I begged off. He continued
to the hallway.
Seriously, I want you to see
this. He turned back to me, his
gaze hard, telegraphing a current of
need more anxious than lust.
Please, he repeated, and I saw a
bead of sweat on his forehead. I
followed him, right up until he

Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson improvise on
the set of the upcoming movie Lets Be Cops. After
four years as Mystic Falls most unfortunate teenager, Elena, and her evil nemesis, Katherine, costarring in a comedy is a relief for a couple of reasons.
My cheeks hurt from laughing all
day. Its so much better than having
red eyes from crying! she says. And

show. Elenas graduated now, and
fingers crossed, Ive finally graduated
from playing high school. Change is
upon Elena and for me. Its good.
The 24-year-old, Bulgaria-born,
Toronto-raised Dobrev is excited to
talk about most things related to her
TV show, except one: her costar, Ian
Somerhalder. The two had been
rumored to be together for years
before she talked about it, and shes
handling their recent breakup in the
same private manner. Its still very
fresh for me, she says. I dont have
much more to elaborate on that.
It cant be so easy ending things
with a coworkerespecially when
your characters have declared their
love, promising more steamy scenes
next season. But if Dobrev, who calls
herself a tough chick, is struggling,
it doesnt show. Settling into her
trailer during a break, she displays
the mix of warmth, humor, and
smarts that have attracted
3.7 million people to her Twitter
feed. Breakup or no, shes full of
smileseven an occasional snort.

time at the beach recently too, from
the pictures you posted.
NINA: We were! Its been cool to find
an active buddythere are a lot of
girlie girls around. We dont talk
about makeup; we talk about life.
COSMO: Is it nice to have a friend
whos also gone through a breakup?
NINA: Thats not what our friendship
is about. Unfortunately, thats how
its perceived, but theres more to us.
People arent defined by their
relationships. The whole point is
being true to yourself and not losing
yourself in relationships, whether
romances or friendships.
COSMO: Tell us about your friends.
NINA: I only want to be around
people who make me laugh until I
cry. I have friends who are so funny
that when I hang out with them, I feel
like Im funnier. I have intellectual
friends who feed my soul in a different way. And theres my mom,
who is one of my best friends. She
gives me a lot of insightful advice,

even when Im not ready to hear it.

COSMO: Whats something you
werent ready to hear?
NINA: The other day, she told me she
was happy she had me when she was
young, in her 20s. She didnt think
wed have the same close relationship if she had been an older mom.
COSMO: Does that make you want to
have kids while youre young?
NINA: She had a point, but its not
something I am ready for or want
anytime soon. Im working a lot and
Im busy, and when I do that, I want
to have the time to focus and be a
good mom. Thats not right now.

COSMO: Do you think you put a lot of

pressure on yourself?
NINA: Maybe. I can take a lot of
pressure though. Im constantly
trying to make myself better, to
learn more. I didnt finish college, so
I feel like Im always having to prove
myself. I dont want to feel like the
smallest person in the room.
COSMO: What are you working on?
Have you had a Lean In moment?
NINA: I want to open my own yoga
studio. Planning construction and
looking at properties is fun. Im
using a different part of my brain.
You know that feeling when you use
a different muscle? Youre excited to

be exercising it, but you get a little
sore! Yoga changed my life. Hopefully, it will do that for others.
COSMO: Youre a physical person. Is
that what attracts you to a guy?
NINA: You either have chemistry or
you dont, but a lot of what attracts
me is a guys mind and humor and
talent. I need to get to know all those
things to fall for someone. Im not a
one-night-stand kind of girl. Im a
relationship girl.
COSMO: Whats your type?
NINA: Im progressive in some ways,
old-fashioned in others. I like when
guys hold the door open and are sweet

and thoughtful. The guys on our show
are really good at that. A man in a suit
looking put together and dapper is
very attractive, but I also kind of like
the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed, a-littlebit-of-scruff, effortless, not-tryinghard-but-still-sexy guy. If a guy
spends more time looking in the
mirror than I do, thats a problem!
COSMO: Do you need to be around
people who are down-to-earth?
NINA: Yes. Its important to have
people in your life who have no
reason to say yes to you. If things
are too easy, its no fun.

WHEN HES SO

Its not a problem that will win

you much sympathy, but it is
possible for your guy to be too
well-endowed. The ideal penis
length is about 5 inches, according to researchers who polled
women on, um, the aesthetics of
a mans package size. But when
hes too well-endowed, it could lead to tearing and bleeding if
hes too rigorous with his thrusts, warns Alyssa Dweck, MD, a
gynecologist in New York. If your dude is too XL, use a siliconebased lubetheyre slicker and longer-lasting than waterbased formulasand have him enter you slowly. Try getting on
top so you can control how fast and deep his penis goes.

Q Do I really need an
annual pelvic exam?
A These manual exams are used
to screen for STIs and catch
fibroids and ovarian and cervical
cancers early. But new studies
show they often detect issues
that are benign, putting women
through unnecessary, potentially
stressful tests. If my patient is
sexually active but doesnt have
pain during sexthe best
indicator of an internal issue
then I often wont give her one
at each visit unless she wants it
for peace of mind. But I always
give them to postmenopausal
women and also to women with
symptoms of any kind.

BECAME HER RESOURCE.

I FOUND HAIR EVERYWHERE:

A few months ago, I started to nd hairs
everywhere. In my brush, in the shower
and on my blouse. My hair was falling
out faster than usual and I was freaking
out. I went to the pharmacy and found
a product called Hair Volume, which
contained natural extracts and vitamins.
I gave it a try.
NOW IM PROUD OF MY HAIR

Ive been taking Hair Volume for a while
now and Im so happy to tell people about
this product! Getting the right nutrients
has made all the difference to me. I am sure
there are many other women who suffer
from changes to their hair. Unfortunately
we are never told about the importance
of diet, lifestyle and healthy living, for a
healthy looking exterior. Im now convinced that the solution must come from
within.

right hand. Deep down, I suspected the
truth, but I didnt say a word to anyone.
In 2007, my worst fear was confirmed:
My doctor told me I had young-onset Parkinsons disease. I didnt shed a tear at the doctors office, but I went home and sobbed for
hours. For months, I worked 12 to 13 hours
without even stopping to eat, because taking
a break meant thinking about my diagnosis.
I told my mom and boss, but for a year, I completely withdrew from friends and family.
I felt damaged. I wanted to be judged for
my skills at work, not a potential disability.
And I thought I didnt deserve to take a good
guy from a more worthy, healthy single lady.
I felt so isolated.
Then, in 2008, I met a firefighter dropping
off a patient at the ER. By our second date, I
knew it was serious. Ryan was scared of losing me, but we worked through it. (We later
got married and had a baby.) Even so, I continued to struggle with my diagnosis, so I
went to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion.
My new doctor called me at work and quietly
said Id tested positive for a genetic marker
specific to young-onset Parkinsons disease.
He tried to console me by saying it would progress slowly.
I hung up and sat in the bathroom crying.
When a coworker found me, I began to talk openly
about my diagnosis for the first time. As I spoke, something finally shifted: I could literally feel the weight lift
off my shoulders.
I could take drugs to control my
symptoms. But the side effects are

Its true. Men often dont have a condom. It could be because

sex doesnt feel as good when theyre wearing onealthough having
sex with a condom feels better than not having sex. Or sometimes
guys think theyll look too forward if theyve got one and itll freak
you out. Or they just forgot. Whatever the case, Id tell him this: If
were going to have sex, a condom is going on your penis. If he pushes
back? Dont hook up with that guy. Carrying a condom doesnt make
you promiscuous, it shows a healthy attitude and the value you have
in yourself. The good guys wont just respect that, itll be a turn-on.

I always FEEL GRE AT ON THE PILL!

(SAID NO ONE, EVER)
Our survey reveals that more than half of you have avoided the Pill because of side effects, and we
dont blame you. Who wants to use something that makes you feel crappy? But while we often
call it the Pill, there are 38 formulas on the marketplus other hormonal methods like the shot, patch,
implant, and IUDsand they all affect your body differently. So think about trying another brand.
MIGRAINES
Theyre usually caused by a drop in estrogen
levels before your period, which you get with
monthly pills, the patch, and NuvaRing.
What to Do Consult your doctor right away.
Reducing your periods with extended-cycle birthcontrol pills (Seasonale, Seasonique, Lybrel) or
long-acting methods (IUDs, the shot, the implant)
will help prevent menstrual-related migraines.
NAUSEA
Methods that contain
estrogencombination pills,
the patch, NuvaRingtend
to cause an upset stomach.
What to Do The puke-y
feelings typically subside
within a few months as your
body adjusts to hormones.
Pills with low-dose estrogen
or estrogen-free methods,
like the shot, implant, and
IUDs, are best for avoiding
nausea. Take pills with meals
or right before bed rather
than on an empty stomach.
MOOD SW INGS
Experts dont know why, but progestins cause
moodiness in some women. That means any
hormonal method could be a contributing factor.
What to Do Progestin types vary across pills, so
simply switching to a new one or a different type
of birth control can make a difference.
ACNE
Depo-Provera and the implant are
progestin-only methods that may increase
oil production, triggering breakouts.
Progestins in the Mirena and Skyla IUDs are
confined to the uterus, so they wont make
acne worse but they wont make it go away.
What to Do Wait a couple of months to let your
body adjust. Combined estrogen and
progestin pills have reduced levels of
hormones that regulate oil production, giving
you clearer skin. If you like your progestinonly pill, talk to your dermthere are lots of
treatments for acne.
PAINFUL OR HEAV Y PERIODS

The hormone-free ParaGard IUD can cause
heavier periods and more cramps.
FIZZLED SEX DRIV E

Hormones in combination birth-control pills
increase levels of sex-hormone-binding
globulins (SHBG), a protein that attaches to
testosterone and renders it inactive. Less testosterone activity means less desire to boink.
What to Do Women who take combined pills with both

estrogen and progestin experience less painful periods,
according to a 30-year study in the journal Human
Reproduction. The Mirena and Skyla IUDs can also help.
W EIGHT GAIN
What to Do Low- or no-hormone methods, like

IUDs, dont suck up testosterone, so theyre less
likely to dampen your sex drive. Give your new
method some time to kick in. It can take six
months for your SHBG levels to go back down.
Depo-Provera has been associated with a

10-pound weight gain with long-term use in
some women. Methods with estrogen, like
combination pills, the patch, and NuvaRing, can
also cause fluid retention, so you feel bloated.
SPOTTING
What to Do IUDs are a good alternative. ParaGard

uses copper ions rather than hormones to
prevent egg fertilization, and Mirena and Skyla
use only progestin. If you like BCPs, both Yaz
and Yasmin use a type of progestin called
drospirenone that minimizes bloating.
Pills that are low in estrogen can cause breakthrough bleeding, because without enough
estrogen, your uterine lining starts to shed. Long-acting methods like IUDs, the implant,
and shot may cause spotting for six months. (Your period may stop after that.)
What to Do If you have spotting after three months on pills or six months on a long-acting
method, your MD may recommend a monophasic (meaning the same hormone dose in each
pill) combination pill that has more estrogen, like Yasmin, Ortho-Cyclen, or Seasonique.

A Doc
Responds
Its really common for women to feel lukewarm about their
gynecologist, whether thats because the doctor is snotty or
judge-y or the two of you just dont click. But you need a person
you can talk to about anything, who will look out for your physical
and emotional well-being. To find one, ask friends, coworkers, and
other doctors you trustyour derm, your dentistwho they see.
Doctors have high standards for their own care.

THINGS YOU
SHOULD NEVER BE
AFRAID TO SAY IN
THE STIRRUPS
Icebreaker
The ring made me

a bloated beast.
MDs say patients
often complain that
so-and-so method
didnt work for me,
but they dont give a
reason why. That
part is crucial in
determining what
will work. The more
specifics, the better.
Icebreaker
Im thinking about
trying an IUD.
You may have to
bring up this option,
because some docs
have the old-timey
belief that IUDs are
only for women with
children. The latest
science says theyre
safe for any woman.
Icebreaker
Honestly, I cant
afford it.
Dont be afraid to
tell your physician
that youre broke
she might have
advice (and free
samples). Familyplanning clinics
offer the best
deals; find one at
HHS.gov/opa.

CAN I SKIP MY PERIOD BY

NEVER TAKING PLACEBOS?
ED DIDNT COV ER THIS
Yes. Its totally fine to skip the inactive pills.

Did your birth-control education boil down to being
told No cocks? The gurus at Planned Parenthood
can catch you up. They answer roughly 230 questions
about contraception via text and chat each day and
tackle your trickiest questions right here.
CAN I GET PREGNANT FROM

ANAL SEX? ORAL SEX?
The odds arent zero.
Semen has to get inside
your vaginatough to
do via the anus and
mouthbut fingers
and hands could move
semen there.
IF I FORGET
MY PILL,
CAN I GET
ONE FROM
A FRIEND?
Not a good
idea. Each
brand has a
unique formula. Even
pills in the
same package can be
different!
IS IT TRUE AN IUD
OR THE RING CAN
FALL OUT?
Rarely, an IUD slips
out of the uterus
(since you asked,
its most often
during a BM), and
a doctor must
reinsert it. Ditto for
the ring. But you
can just rinse it off
with warm water
and reinsert it
immediately.
WILL ANTIBIOTICS
SCREW WITH MY PILLS?
No, unless its
Rifampin or Rifabutin, used to treat
tuberculosis. But
some Rx meds
decrease the Pills
effectiveness, as
will St. Johns wort.
Ask your doc if you
need a backup
method.
WHAT ABOUT MOLLY? POT?

Recreational drugs dont affect hormonal
birth controlif you remember to use it.
I DRANK TOO MUCH AND THREW UP LAST

NIGHT.WILL MY PILL STILL WORK?
If you vomited within three hours of taking
your pill, count it as missed. Take another
active pilland if youre on a progestinonly pill, also use condoms for 48 hours.

OF YOU ARE OFTEN

NERVOUS THAT
YOURE PREGNANT.
The emergency contraception formulas sold over-the-countersuch as

Plan B One-Step and Next Choice One Doseare progestin-only pills that
pose no medical risks, even with repeated use. Ella is a prescription-only EC
that has a different active ingredient that delays ovulation and may prevent
implantation. Its also very safe, although some women feel nauseated after
taking it. Still, theres a reason its not called Plan A. If you used EC as your
only form of contraception for a year and had sex regularly, your pregnancy
risk would be about 20 percenthigh compared to other methods. If youre
using EC a lot, its time to find a better method that works for you.

YOU TO MESS UP

EVOLUTIONARY ANTHROPOLOGIST
ELIZABETH PILLSWORTH, PHD. BUT YOU CAN
OVERRIDE YOUR INNER CAVEWOMAN.
Cosmo: One in four

women we surveyed
agreed, When its my
time to get pregnant,
itll happen. Does
every womans brain
subconsciously want
to get pregnant?
Elizabeth Pillsworth:
Its very likely. Evolution doesnt need
us to want to have
babies. It needs us
to have sex to pass
on our genes to the
next generation.
Cosmo: Does our

evolutionary drive
affect sexual desire?
E.P.: It drives our
choice in men. Its
not that women,
when theyre
ovulating, are like Id
like to get pregnant
with that guy
because he has good
genes. Its that they
find the strong guy to
be attractive and it
turns them on.
Cosmo: In our fertile
Cosmo: Can our body

also shut down if its
not a good time to
get pregnant?
E.P.: Only in extreme

conditionsthink
famine or war. Not a
one-night stand, not
oops situations. And
definitely not rape.
Cosmo: We have sex
even when we dont
want a baby.
E.P.: People can

have sex whenever,
so sex must serve
functions other than
just reproduction. It
may be used to
obtain resources,

partner, or cement
social relationships.
zone, are we more

likely to say Screw
it, skip the condom?
E.P.: That question

hasnt been studied,
but research
suggests women
may put themselves
in situations where
theyll engage in
sexual behaviorfor
example, going to
parties or drinking.
Cosmo: Can we stick
to a conscious goal of
not getting pregnant
if our body subconsciously wants to?
E.P.: Yes. You can use

contraception until
you want a baby. Your
body is not in the
drivers seat. You are.

Does this sound familiar: going out and talking only to your friends? But isnt meeting people
part of the fun? Play it right and the possibilities are endless. You could stumble upon a great

Even if the TV is on,

be a good listener.
People love to talk
about themselves.
Theyll love you for
letting them.

are out of place.
Do you?
0 to 3 Points
Girl, Unclench
Judith Orloff, MD, author of Emotional
Freedom, says control-freak behavior
can manifest itself in many ways:
imposing your (very strong) opinions
on others, an inability to go with the
flow when plans change (and the
tendency to get snippy when they do),
a refusal to delegate, and OCDish
habits like policing every carb and
overorganizing. But you can control
your control freakness! You may be
unaware of your inflexibility or that you
dominate conversations, Dr. Orloff
says. Recognizing these behaviors is
the first step in taming them.
BY JESSICA KNOLL
1. You and a few friends are planning

a girls vacay to Mexico. Your instinct is to:
a. Pack your swimsuits
b. Panic. You have to vet
and go with the flow. Your

friends will handle deets.
hotels, plan activities, make

reservationsahhh!
c.
Offer to look into hotels

if someone else can handle
the flight and meals.
2. An acquaintance mentions that she doesnt get the hype surrounding

Girls, which is only, like, your favorite show ever. Your response?
a. Youre not getting

the cultural message Lena
is expressing. Ill explain.
b.

To each her own!
c.
I didnt either, at first.

But I highly suggest giving
season two a chance.
3. You and your guy got hard-to-come-by dinner reservations at

a buzzy new spot. At the last minute, his friend invites you two to a
huge end-of-summer cookout that same night. What do you do?
a.
Suggest hitting up
the party after dinner
youre dying to try this place.
b. Last chance to party

outdoors sans jacket? Youll
rain check the reservation.
c.
Mumble irritably, Im
in a low-key mood. Can we
stick to the original plan?
4. Youre already slammed at work when your boss hands you a project
that needs to be done by morning. How do you deal?
a.
Delegate some smaller

tasks to assistants and
interns, and get going.
b. Stay late to work on it.

Your meathead coworkers
cant be trusted to help.
c.
Do your best, but if its

not perfect, oh well. Youre
not Wonder Woman.
5. Your friend the pasta addict invites you to her

Easy Like Sunday Morning
Laid-back people are the worst, said
no one, ever. While your carefree,
down-for-anything attitude is admirable, dont be afraid to assert yourself
if the moment calls for it. Knowing
when to speak up and when to roll with
it is an art, and the more you practice
advocating for yourself, the closer
youll get to mastering it. And since
control freaks tend to unleash themselves on more submissive people,
dont allow yourself to be bullied by
one. Dr. Orloff suggests using this line
to shut a tyrant down: I really value
your opinion and advice, but Ive got
this. Then flash a big smile to show
that there are no hard feelings.

a. RRoll with it. A blood-
Youre not so overbearing that you lose

friends and alienate people, but youre
not so lax that you go through life
whichever way the wind blows you
either. Balance, thy name is, well,
whatever your name is. However, if
youre reading this and realize you
have a control freak in your life, do
yourself (and the world) a favor by
clueing her in. The key, says Dr. Orloff,
is to talk to the offender in a calm,
measured way. You never want to
come across as annoyed or angry,
because if you do, the person will dismiss whatever youre trying to tell
her. Let her know you love her and
how opinionated she is, but sometimes she comes across as way harsh.
