How they
GOT THEIR START. . .
contributors
Paul Costello
Costello photographed real Tulane

University students for the fashion
story Rule the School (p. 180).
How I got my start. My father was
an amateur photographer, so I
grew up surrounded by
cameras. In high school, I built
a darkroom in our bathroom so
I could experiment. After
earning a photography degree
from New York University, I
spent many years assisting
the best photographers I could
get close to, like Ellen von
Unwerth and Annie LeibovitzI observed their
dedication and began to
understand how much work
goes into one picture.
Instagram: @PThePaul
Jennifer Wolff
Perrine
Writer Wolff Perrine explores

the allure of the Disney
sisterhood in So You Want to
Be a Princess (p. 122).
How I got my start. While I

was getting my masters
in journalism at Northwestern, in Chicago, I
applied for an internship
with the Pulitzer Prize
winning investigative
reporter Pam Zekman.
I had the nerve to call her
directly. She thought that
was so ballsy, she hired
me on the spot! Twitter:
@MsWolffPerrine
Jeff Wilser
In Sex on the First Date (p. 144), Wilser, coauthor of the new book
Its Okay to Sleep With Him on the First Date, debunks the myth that
doing so disqualifies you from being considered girlfriend material.
How I got my start. My first job was in finance. After a few
years, I wanted a change, so I made an Excel spreadsheet of new career options and writer was at the top of
the list. I wrote my first short story for my grad-school
application and still managed to get in! My first paid gig
was writing reviews of bars in New York CityI got
paid $12 a pop, which wasnt even enough to cover the
drinks. But from there the assignments snowballed,
and here I am. Twitter: @JeffWilser
Lauren Greenfield
Award-winning photographer and documentary
filmmaker Greenfield captured some of the many
grown women obsessed with the Disney fantasy in
So You Want to Be a Princess.

Steven Brown
Cosmos senior booking editor cast the students from Tulane University
for the fashion feature Rule the School.
How I got my start. After graduating from Manhattan College
in May 2007 in economics, I spent weeks applying for
entry-level jobs. I got an interview for an editorial assistant
position at the New York office of Italian Vogueand I
started the next day! I was there four years before I moved
to Cosmo. Now, I book the models and the hair and
makeup artists for each issue. Instagram: @SBro911
WorldMags.net
ANGELA LEDGERWOOD
COUTRESY SUBJECT (5)
How I got my start. I liked documentary

photography, but I never expected to
become a professional photographer or
an artist. I assumed Id grow up and get a
real job. I got my first big break when,
based on my senior thesis project about
the contemporary French aristocracy, I was
picked from 200 applicants to be National
Geographics photography intern.
Only during that internship did I realize it
was possible to have a career as a photographer. Twitter: @LGreen66

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was handdelivered to their apartment. Alas,
I had to leave the next day, so I
never got to explore the fraternity
systemperhaps for the better. But
Mary and I are still friends, and this
months first-ever Cosmo Campus
section brought back all the hilarious
memories. So did our amazing fashion shoot at Tulane, where our team
embedded for a week and found a
fabulous group of strong, sexy, smart
students who styled themselves
with as much intensity as they study
their chemistry.
There are a million ways to live out
our glory days, and its not all about
parties or rah-rah campus life. Our
fearless cover girl, Demi Lovato, opted
out of school to be a pop star. She told
me at her shoot that shed be celebrating her 21st birthday volunteering in
Kenya with Free the Children. A huge
y to her!

Growing up in the U.K., I always

longed for the full-on American college experience. It looked so much
more fun than studying English and
American lit at a liberal-arts college
with only 4,000 students in a flat and
rainy corner of Britain. In fact, one of
the most fun times I had at college
was at Purdue, staying with my American friend, Mary Payne, whom I had
met during my gap year in Paris. I
was on a tour of the U.S., and my first
stop was that gorgeous campus in
West Lafayette, Indiana, where I
arrived in August at the beginning of
rush. With 35,000 students and a
massive Greek system, I had never
been to so many parties in my life!
Watching Marys friends sweat entry
into various sororities was a totally
foreign kind of stress, but I still
remember her roommates screams
of excitement when a long-stemmed
rose and stiff white card, saying I had
been made a little sister to the frat

MARRIAGE OF THE MINDS
Thank you for Secrets of the First
Year of Marriage. As I read it, I felt
my anxieties slip away. It was like
reading a page out of my own journal! It felt awesome to know that Im
not the only one out there who has
experienced these shifts in my relationship. So thank you, Cosmo, for
quieting my postmarital blues and
helping me to love my hubby that
much more. Danielle R., Swansboro, NC

NAME GAME
I loved the Secrets of the First Year
of Marriage article, but I was surprised to see the part about changing your name. While the author
gave good advice for wives to talk out
any identity issues with their husbands, nowhere did it say it was okay
not to change your name. I kept my
name and I am glad to be Ms. Proudto-Be-Me.

I just wanted to take a moment and
share how much I love your photo

summer-themed fashion stories
still have women donning deep tans
despite the realities of skin cancer.

As a fair-skinned girl, I really appreciate seeing media that portrays the

lack of a tan as something sexy instead of something pasty. Great job!

Taxicab Confession
My college roommate, Norah, scored
a job in the same city I live in, and I
was excited for us to reunite. But she
was going to live with a childhood
friend, Meg. The morning of Norahs
arrival, I was late to pick her upit
was raining, and I couldnt find a
taxiuntil I saw one pull up for a girl
who had just beaten me to it. Wet,
late, and annoyed, I jumped in front
of her and hissed, Sorry, but I really
need this. I heard her say, Are you
serious?! as I slammed the door, but
I didnt care. When I got to the
airport, Norah and I shared a long
hug, and she told me that Meg was
coming to meet us too. Guess who
Meg was? Yup, the taxicab girl. I tried
to act like it was the first time Id seen
her, but she was cold to me and I
could tell she recognized me from my
thievery. Norah still cant figure out
why her roomie doesnt like me!

Cupids Arrow
I went to this cool rooftop bar with
my girlfriends one summer night
and started flirting with the
bartender. As we were midbanter,

this guy across the bar pointed at
me and shouted, Hey, youre
Smoothness123 from OkCupid! My
heart practically stopped from
humiliation. I know theres nothing
wrong with online datingbut to be
recognized from your profile and
called out for it while youre trying to
flirt with someone in person? It
made it seem like I was dating every
guy in the city. I mumbled some
excuse about having to go, and I
bolted. I know it was a good thing in
theory that he recognized me
because it shows that I stood out
from the crowd, but did that guy
really need to shout it to the world
like that and ruin my game?

A few months after I broke up

with my boyfriend, a cute guy asked
me out, and apprehensively, I said
yes. One of my friends came up with
a great plan for me: wear granny
panties on the date but keep a sexy
pair in my purse to ensure that Id
go home with him only if I decided it
was a good idea, since Id be forced
to change in a bathroom. I took her
advice and arrived on the date
wearing a huge, beige pair. We
hit it off, so halfway through
dinner, I excused myself to change.
I had taken off my jeans and had
the bloomers half way down my
butt when the door creaked open
and I saw my date staring at me.
Turns out, I forgot to lock the door
of the mens room! I had no choice
but to explain the situation. But
somewhere between seeing my
granny panties and my saying
that I wanted to take things slow
after being hurt by my last
relationship, he clearly lost interest,
and I never talked to him again.

Wildest Dreams
Hair Scare
I took a girl to the movies for a first
date, and she looked so beautiful
that I put my arm around her. She
leaned in to snuggle, so I ran my
hand through her hair. But I noticed
something felt loose, so I brought my
hand back to see what Id done and I
had a huge chunk of her hair in my
palm! She was wearing extensions.
Luckily, she hadnt noticed, so I just
threw the clump of hair under the
seat. But I was so nervous she would
notice that I couldnt concentrate on
the movie. When it was over, I faked
sick and left because I didnt want to
discuss a movie that Id been too
jittery to watch. I was sketchy about
the good-bye, so I never asked her
out again.

walk in the woods, and when we got

home, we showered together to get
the dirt off. After, we got dressed but
then started making out again, and
off came my boxers. My girl was
about to go down on me when she
stopped and asked, Uhwhats
that? Turns out, a small tick had
lodged itself onto my peniswed
both missed it in the shower. It was
so gross. But instead of freaking, she
pulled it off, laughed, and started
calling me Ticky Dick. It was pretty
emasculating, and I still wince at
the thought of it. On the upside,
I got to see how cool she is even in
embarrassing situations, and weve
been together for almost three years.
She still teases me with that name!

Sexting SOS
I was dating this girl, but we
werent exclusive yet. One night
while we were texting, I was so tired,
and the conversation was pretty
boringwe were just talking about
our days. To keep myself awake, I
decided to steer the texts into sexy
territory, so I told her I couldnt stop
thinking about the time that we had
sex on the beachand before she
even responded, I sent another text
about the time we had sex in the
bathroom at a sushi restaurant.
Only problem was, I was reminiscing with the wrong girl! Id done
those things with someone else. She
quickly called me out for my player
ways and called me an a**hole, and
shes ignored me ever since. As for
me, I felt like an idiot and also
learned to never, ever sext while
tired again.

Geez, he could at
least try to hide his
wandering eye!
HeWent From
Dream Guy
to Mean Guy!
BY ALYSSA BLACK
My friend Jen* wanted to set me

up with this guy John in her law
school class, whom she described as
funny, smart, and a reformed bad
boy. I was intrigued, so she orchestrated a group happy hour for us
to meet casually, and we hit it off.
I loved Johns scruffy look
especially his tousled, curly brown
hairand he was super funny. At
the end of the night, I mentioned
that I was going to a Patti Smith
book reading that week, and he said
hed like to join me. Nice!
I liked John even more at the
readinghe was hilarious. He kept
cracking witty jokes about Pattis
stories under his breath, and then he
took me to this cute Italian spot
post-show. I told him over pizza that
my birthday party was that weekend, and I invited him to come and
bring friends. After, John walked me
to the train, and although I got the
feeling he wanted to kiss me (and I
wanted to kiss him), he held back

and hugged me instead. I wondered
if I was misinterpreting our
chemistry, but then he said he
wanted to see me again. So I shoved
my doubt out of my mind and
enthusiastically agreed.
That Saturday night, I was
psyched when he showed up at my
partyuntil I realized hed brought
guys and girls with him. It bothered
me that hed brought other women,
especially because I saw one of them
trying to shove her braless chest in
his facebut I silenced my inner
warning bell when he ignored them
to be with me and then asked me to
go to a beer bar that Thursday night.
Something is definitely happening
here, I confirmed to myself.
Not quite! When we met up for
our beer date, John seemed agitated
and distracted. He told me hed just
had an argument with Jen and called
her a spoiled brat because she wore
expensive clothes. And clearly hed

decided that I was a princess by
association, because when we
started talking about our days, he
went off about how my corporate job
was so bourgeois. Then he told me
that it made sense that I worked for
the man, since Id gone to a private
university (so did he, might I add). He
spent the rest of the evening lobbing
thinly veiled insults at me. Things
were moving so quickly, I didnt
realize what was happening at first.
But his jerkdom became
unmistakable when he decided to
inform me, totally unprompted, that
his ideal type of girl is a tall, superskinny blonde. Im brunette, average
height (about 5 feet 6), and a healthy
weight. To hammer home his point,
he proceeded to point out his type to
me! Theres one, hed say, motioning
toward a modelish blonde. See that
girl? Shes so hottotally my type. I
was dumbfounded. I didnt want to
waste another second of my time
with him, so I declined his offer to
get dinner and hailed a taxi, stat.
The next afternoon, I recapped
my night to Jen over Gchat. She was
floored by his behavior but admitted
that shed recently started to clash
with him too. Heres the weirdest
part though: She told me that shed
seen John that morning in class, and
hed reported that he thought the
date went well and he planned to ask
me out again! Tell him not to bother,
I told her. And he didnt.

She looks so chic. And

drama to the neck on the

pocket square, which
isnt too bulky, and think
of it as a bow tie for girls.

Q Honestly, do you think there

is really a difference between
de
denim for work and denim for
weekends anymore?
w
A In a word, yes! A million times, yes. I have a
closet full of jeans for different occasions.
Look for a crisp unfaded pair of trouser jeans for
work, and save your beat-up pairs for your off-duty
hours. Think of denim as setting the mood for
whatever the activity is, and remember that there
are varying levels of appropriateness.

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.

Ill never forget Timothy:

a soft-spoken makeup artist
in New Jersey, he sold me my
first MAC lipstick at 14. I saw
him on the reg during high
school, and he made me feel
more beautiful than my first
boyfriend didhe showed me
how to own my look. When
he left the store for a new job,
the other salespeople were
so pushy, I quit asking for
advice and kept convos to a

lead them on). But I knew my
phobia meant I was missing
out. So I approached Origins
to curb my anxietyand
became a savvier shopper.
My lessons:

If You Dont Like

It, Bring It Back
How many bad beauty buys
of yours are sitting unused
in a drawer? Its time to
stop the madness! Whether
you bought a product in a
moment of weakness or it
just doesnt work, most
companies will exchange or
refund it if you have a receipt.
Ask About Extras

Origins offers free mini
facials to anyone, but many
customers are clueless or too
embarrassed to ask. While
asking about free services
might seem like something
your crazy aunt might do, the
worst thing they can do is say
no. Best-case scenario? Youre
getting pampered, for free.
When my shift ended, I was
a little bummed to hang up my
apron. I got hooked on solving
customers skin issuesmy
coworkers passion was contagious. Sure, selling product
is always going to be part of
staffers jobs, but remember:
the truly remarkable ones
wont lead with it; theyll ask
about your concerns first.
So make them your personal
shoppers. Theyll keep tabs
on what youre using now and
know what you should be
using next. Let go of the retail
fear factor, and treat the store
as your own beauty playground. It can really pay off.

Use a cream every
single day and the eye
area will respond in
about two weeks,
explains Dr. Karen.
In the 21 years YSL

Touche clat has
been around, its won
tons of awards and
earned a cult following
(one is sold every 10
seconds!). But why?
Top pros weigh in.
It softens lines,
brightens, and
color corrects.
You can apply it
over makeup!
How you erase them depends on their color.
IF YOURS ARE BROWN, its a hyperpigmentation

issue. The body responds to inflammation
from things like allergies and rubbingas an
injury, sending extra melanin to repair it,
says Dr. Zeichner. The MVP eye brighteners:
vitamin C (in Cliniques, above, plus Murad
Instant Radiance Eye Cream, $68) and
niacinamide (a key ingredient in CoverGirls,
above), used morning or night.

Apply too little eye

cream and you wont
see results. Apply too
much and youll
flood the area with
excess product and
ingredients, which can
cause irritation and
puffiness. A pea-size
dot to each side will get
you results. To apply:
USING YOUR RING FINGER
(it has the gentlest touch),
blend it along the bone below
your eye, stopping just beyond
the tail of your brow (aka the
crow zone).
CONTINUE UP ALONG THE
BROW BONE, which can get
puffy and, over time, droopy.
(Skip this step if your only
issue is undereye circles.)

But its not without
side effects.
When outer eye
muscles are
completely frozen,
inner eye muscles
overcompensate,
creating bunny
lines: whiskerlike
creases that appear
between the inner
corners of the
eyes and bridge of

you smile, says Dr.
Zeichner. Theyre a
telltale sign of a
trigger-happy doctor
(who should be
told to use less the
next go-round!).
Ban Oil
One of the biggest

eye-cream complaints:
They make my eye
makeup smear! That's
because the same
hydrating ingredients
often used in eye creams
(petrolatum, castor oil)
are found in makeup
removers. The creams
residue can break down
makeup, says makeup
artist Beau Nelson. In

Can Coworkers
Ever Really
Be Friends?
Finding a posse at work:
the good, the bad,
and the awkward.
NICK ONKEN
BY HELIN JUNG
They take credit for your efforts, thwart your ideas,

and brag about their achievements, ignoring yours. Just
because you ring up customers together or share a cube
doesnt mean youd ever want to be friendsreally
friendswith the people who share your shift. But
heres why you have to at least try: Research shows that
social support at work is one of the most significant
factors contributing to your job satisfactionand your
health and happiness in general.

Fun, Fearless Work
WorldMags.net
When you have a best-friend relationship with

someone you work with, youre 7 times as likely to
be engaged in your job, says Tom Rath, senior scientist
at Gallup and author of Vital Friends. If youre not
engaged in your job, you get less done and have less fun
doing it. Some companies make it easy for employees
to get friendly: Online retailer Zappos hosts regular
costume parties and parades. But most of us are on
our own when it comes to office-bonding dilemmas.
We asked some career experts to give you an assist.
Depending on where you

workare you at a threeperson start-up, where youre
bound to get close, or do you
work for a huge corporation,
where the boundaries
between professional and
personal are more clear?
you can totally be friendly with
your boss. Theres a big but
here: You should also maintain
your professionalism, says
career coach Lisa Quast.
When you report to someone,
its best not to divulge too
much. You never know whats
going on in that other persons
head, Quast says.
Penelope Trunk, blogger at
Brazen Careerist, agrees:
Your boss might tell you
something personal, but thats
not an invitation for you to
reciprocate, she says. Thats
an invitation for you to be a
listener. If your boss wants to
know something about your
personal life, she will ask, and
then you can answerjust the
question, not your life story.
Even if youre not BFFs, you
should be positive and helpful.
Being friendly with your boss
is a sign that youre really
meant to be at your job, Trunk
says. If you think of your job
as helping your bosss life
be better, you will be so
connected that you wont be
scared of an interaction.
102
YOUR
COWORKER
IS A GOOD
FRIEND BUT
NOT GOOD
AT HER JOB.
She may know things arent
going well. But if she doesnt
and youre really her friend,
you should tell her. Start the
conversation by saying you
see something that can make
a tremendous difference in
her career and asking if shed
like to know what it is. She
can say yes or no, says Nicole
Williams, career expert at
LinkedIn. Think of it as career
counseling, not personal
criticism. Help her figure out
what she is good at, Trunk
says. Youre helping
somebody be their true best
self. Ideally, shell see it that
way, but be prepared for some
fallout if shes not ready to hear
what you have to say.
YAY, YOURE
GETTING
MARRIED!
NOW, WHO
TO INVITE?
First, a word: Its okay to party
with your work circle, but dont
go crazy. The world is your
network, Trunk says. As for
your wedding, you might hurt
some feelings, but its okay to
be selfish. Says Williams, Suck
it up, make excuses about
limited seating, and blame it on
your mother-in-law.
So, the IT guy:

Hot or not?
YOURE
NEW AND
FEELING
DAUNTED
BY THE
CLIQUES.
Flashing back to the high school cafeteria?

Get to know individuals or a few people
from various cliques by asking them to
lunch. Be friendly with everyone, but
dont join any one group, Quast says. Find
a buddy at roughly your level who can help
you figure out the power structure.
YOUR WORK
FRIEND
GOT
PROMOTED
OVER YOU.
UGH.
Most of us will have mixed
emotions, says career coach
Henna Inam, CEO of Transformational Leadership Inc.
Congratulate your friend, obvs,
then sort out any jealousy,
confusion, or insecurity by
writing in a journal. Ask yourself,
How do I want to show up for my
friend? Its about choosing who
you want to be.
In the meantime, be as
gracious as possible, advises
Williams. Think of it as an
opportunity, and ask her what
she learned and how she did it.
Be the one who says, Listen,
I expect to work as hard for you
as I would anyone else.
WorldMags.net
YOUVE
BECOME
THE BOSS
AND HAVE
TO MANAGE
FRIENDS.
You did something right to get
here, but its natural to feel
guilty and uneasy about having
to be the one who tells your
friend that she needs to start
getting to work on time.
Acknowledge that the power
dynamic has shifted. Have
a conversation where you set
new rules of the relationship,
Inam says. Then be patient
as you both get used to your
role. Show empathy for your
friend, but dont apologize or
act more junior than your rank.
As Trunk notes, A key part of
climbing the ladder is not
taking responsibility for other
peoples feelings.

Replied All.
BY MIKA BRZEZINSKI
However tiny or T. rex your

mistake, you need to do
damage control. That
means fixing the problem
if at all possible. Lets take
a classic scenario: You
double-book your boss for
a meeting. (Someone on
my staff did that to me
when I was supposed to be
meeting with the editorin-chief of Cosmo!) Right
away, get in touch with the
person your boss was
supposed to meet so she
doesnt wait another
second. By the time you go
to your manager, youll be
able to tell her the steps
youve taken to make
things right or the steps
you propose to take.
sorry; its bad news. Here

it is. We had some interns
on the Morning Joe set a
few years back who helped
us with our new Twitter
account. One day, I heard
Joe Scarborough, my
cohost, get very upset with
them about how one had
tweeted something before
it was a done deal. I realized in one horrifying
instant that Id
mistakenly posted the
info. I walked up to Joe
and said, That was a
hundred percent my
fault. I couldve let the
interns take the fallthey
almost thought they had
done it! But I know I
earned a lot of respect
with my honesty.
Leave Others Out of It

Apologize
From your supervisors
POV, theres nothing
worse you can do than
sweep a mistake under
the rug. The minute you
cover it up, your boss will
know. And from that day
on, shell wonder if youre
BSing her. Instead, go to
your boss and say, Im
104
I messed up are three of

the most important words
you can say, with the
emphasis on I. Dont pass
the buck. When I missed a
lunch date with a group of
successful and timecrunched women, the
staffer who stepped up to
take the blame didnt
mention that others had
dropped the ball too.

I figured that out and was
impressed he didnt drag
others into the mud with
him. Your boss will find
out on her own who else
was involved. That will
solidify your reputation
as loyal and trustworthy.
Dont Do It Again
Take every precaution
to ensure your mistake
is a one-time screw-up.
A few habits that have
served me well: Set up
auto-reminders so you
dont forget deadlines.
Triple-check the facts
and grammar in any
e-mail you send. And it
never hurts to take a
breath and think before
you speak.
WorldMags.net
Press Reset
Many women struggle to
get over it after theyve
messed up. Maybe some of
us are hardwired to gnaw
on our mistakes. But once
your flub is fixed, its time
to move on. Your boss and
coworkers shouldnt have
to hear you rehash the
disaster or console you.
And they dont need you
wasting time brooding
and second-guessing
yourself. That only makes
you lose confidence
which makes you worse at
your job. The bottom line is
you feel bad about what
happened, youve admitted
your role in it, and youve
taken every action possible
to resolve it. And you
definitely wont do it again.

THE POWER PLAYERS
Jessica Matthews, 25, and Julia Silverman, 24, inventors

In 2008, Matthews and Silverman were partnered for an engineering
project at Harvard. The catch? Neither one of them studied engineering.
Matthews had recently been to Nigeria and was frustrated by the
frequent power outages. Kids play soccer everywhere in the developing
world, says Matthews. We thought, what if we could turn play into
power? They inserted into a soccer ball a generator that harnesses
energy from movement. Just 30 minutes of play powers an attachable
light for three hours. The women founded Uncharted Play, which earned
praise from the Clinton Global Initiative and is now working to bring a
similar technology to jump ropes. Imagine somewhere like Oklahoma
after a tornado, says Matthews. People could have lights and power
before electricity is even restored. (Follow them @SOCCKET.)

THE VOTE MAKER

Maria Teresa Kumar, 39, CEO and president of Voto Latino
Its fitting that Maria Teresa Kumars first day of work was an election day. In
November 2004, actress Rosario Dawson, chairwoman and cofounder of the nonpar tisan political group Voto Latino, recruited the then-29-year-old former legislative aide to find new ways to get the Hispanic community to turn out the vote
something politicians and organizers had been failing at for years. Thinking back
to her Colombian childhood, Kumar realized what no one else had: Latinos may
not have a lot of disposable income, but they have a lot of free minutes on their
cell phones. Under her leadership, Voto Latino became the first organization to
use text messaging to promote voter registration, helping to bring in 220,000 new
voters. What we need as a country, Kumar says, is to make sure as many
people as possible are involved in politics. Its a lot harder for other folks to decide
our future if we are constantly paying attention. (Follow her @MariaTeresa1.)

Haslet-Davis, a ballroom dancer and instructor in Boston,

was cheering on Boston Marathon runners with her
husband, Adam, 33, this past April when she heard the first
bomb explode. Moments later, a second bomb went off
just four feet behind the couple. We were blown right off
our feet and onto our backs, recalls Haslet-Davis, who
used her elbows to crawl into a nearby building after the
blast took off her foot. I thought, Im going to die here.
Instead, just months into her recovery, Haslet-Davis is
preparing for two huge physical tests: running next
years Boston Marathon on her new prosthetic leg and
performing on the 17th season of Dancing With the Stars.
These are great ways for me to challenge myself and
thank the people of Boston for being supportive, HasletDavis says. I have days when Im frustrated and mad
that this happenedIm human. So its wonderful to be
able to hear other people say You can do this!

At an age when most women are just

starting out, Demi Lovato is starting fresh.
Celebrating a big birthday and her biggest
album ever, she opens up about accomplishing
so much at an impossibly young ageand
the tough lessons she has learned along the way.
By Logan Hill
As she pulls up to a skyscraper on

Manhattans rain-slicked Hudson
Street, Demi Lovato, ascendant pop
idol, is confidently rocking all black
in the back of a black Lincoln SUV:
zippered skintight pants, studded
rocker boots, and a leather jacket
covered in so many metal studs, its
practically weaponized.
Its a new beginning for me, she
says, as fans juggle umbrellas on the
other side of the cars rain-streaked
windows. A year and a half ago, I was
frustrated, she admitsalthough
not for the reasons you might expect.
I was like, there are people on the

radio and theyre not even singing
its all Auto-Tuned, and I know I can
sing. Its taken me three albums to
figure out what works for me.
Its the next chapter, Lovato says
as she hops out of the car, signs
autographs with an extra-smiley face
for each fan, and poses for photos
(even retaking an iPhone photo for a
mom whose shot turned out blurry).
Last year, she roared back from her

tattoos, she transformed from a

perfect Disney star whom other girls
aspired to be into something more
interesting: a girl they felt they
knew, a survivor.
Im not super religious, but I
grew up Christian and I believe in
God, Lovato says a few minutes
later, back in the Lincoln. When Im
in L.A., I dont talk about it that
much because people are very judgmental, but I just feel like God gave
me a voice, not just to sing with. He
put me through those things, which
seemed horrible at the time, but they
were so worth it. With the obstacles
Ive overcome, I can help people.
Lovato has always felt like she

had a purpose. Arms wrapped
around her legs as she takes a break
in a downtown hotel room, she says,
I remember reading about Shirley
Temple and looking up at God and
being like, Okay, Im 5. Im ready.
At the same time, she was a little
girl whose parents divorced when
she was 2 and whose mothera
former Dallas Cowboys cheerleaderturned-secretarymarried her boss
when Demi was 4. She was a single
mom living in the ghetto of Dallas,
and he took her in, Lovato says. I
remember walking into his house
the first dayhe had all-white carpet, and the first thing I did was spill
a glass of red Kool-Aid. Like, Oh my
god, I just ruined this guys
mansion. And it kept happening.
When she turned 7, she got her
first gig, on Barney & Friends,
dancing with that giant purple
dinosaur and a tiny pixie of a girl
named Selena Gomez. Every day, the
girls sang the same songand every
time that I love you, you love me
song would end with the same needy
little plea, Wont you say you love me
too? Lovato admits that Barney
could be a little codependent, but
she needed love too. Badly.
At the time, I was just so grateful
to be on TV, but I also was really
struggling, she says. Looking back,
there was a connection, probably
between any kid whos ever sang that
song to Barney, a little place in a
childs heart, a void, that could be
filled. And maybe Barney fills it.
Even before Barney, I was suicidal.
Demi took only

one week to
go platinum.
I was 7. With Barney, I guess subliminally, I did have a relationship

with this figure that was saving my
life in a way.
Looking out the window into the
drizzle, Lovato adds, Ive talked
about being bullied and the years of
being a teenager, she says, but I
went through things when I was
younger that Ive never talked about
that probably caused me to turn out
the way I ended up turning out.
Lovato has divulged more than
most celebrities, but shes still holding something back. She wont say
why she would feel suicidal at such a
young age. And she tenses up when
pressed for details about exactly
what kind of pain shes confronting
in Warrior when she sings,
Theres a part of me I cant get back /
A little girl grew up too fast / All it
took was once, Ill never be the same /
Now Im taking back my life today.
My family knows what its
about, she says. When Im ready to
open up that subject with the outside
world, then Ill be free to talk about it.
But right now, its kind of one of
those things where the lyrics speak
for me. Its all in the song.
Whatever troubles were there
didnt stop her success: On the same
day in 2007, Lovato, not yet 15,

Break, recasting her image as a bigvoiced power-pop vocalist. At about

the same time, she was cast on The X
Factor as the shows youngest judge
and the only person sassy enough to
spar with Simon Cowell. Her new
album, Demi, is stacked with radiofriendly singles, including the smash
Heart Attack, which, like most
songs on the album, she cowrote.
Lovato did it all while living in a
sober living house, her home until
just a few months ago.
Health is a priority. Global superstardom is the plan. Today, shes in
the middle of a monthlong stretch
that will take her to Singapore,
Manila, Jakarta, Moscow, Barbados,
and New York City for a riot of TV
and radio spots, photo spreads, and
packed concerts. Escorted by her
manager, assistant, guard, and pintsize mother, Lovato heads up to the
offices of New Yorks 92.3 NOW,
where a banner calls her the Queen
of Pop. She laughs, tosses her hair
back, and kicks out a hip to show off
her butt. Snap. Her 13.4 million
Lovatics retweet the photo more
than 34,000 times.
Thirty minutes later, shes
wrapped up interviews with three
different radio shows, munching on
a few handfuls of a Texas favorite,
turkey jerky, for energy. I tell her
that, to an outsider, the pace is crazy.
Lovato, a 20-year-old who has been
working for 13 years, shrugs.
Station managers usher in two
dozen contest winners, who shake
with excitement every time Lovato
speaks. I ask one shy 14-year-old
what her favorite Lovato lyric is. She
names Skyscraper, about standing
tall in the face of bullies. Every time
Im having a hard time, she says, I
just think, Stay strong.
Actually, Stay strong isnt a Lovato
lyric at allits the tattoos (Stay on
the left wrist, Strong on the right) that
Lovato got to cover up what shes
called the battle scars from her years
of self-harming. I got them in North
Hollywood, right after I got out of
treatment [in 2011], she says. I
thought, theres no better place for a
former cutter to get a tattoo than on a
place where they used to self-harm.
In a way, its a Batman-like origin

auditioned for lead roles in the

Disney musical Camp Rock and the
series Sonny With a Chanceand
won both parts. She enjoyed the
fame and the fun but also buckled
under the constant scrutiny of her
body and personality. Her battles
with bulimia and cutting are welldocumented, as is the time she
punched a backup dancer.
I just had the idea in my head that
I was on the Disney Channel, so
somehow I had to prove that I was a
badass. So on the weekends, Id go
crazy, she says. There were

moments when I was at parties and

would laugh, like, Yeah, Im such a
role model, Lovato remembers.
Looking back, how disrespectful to
the people who you are a role model
to and the parents who are letting
their children trust you.
This is the most fired up Ill see
Lovato all day. She starts talking and
doesnt stop for several minutesits
clear shes thought hard about what
kind of star she wants to be. When I
look at someone whos out there
partying excessively or rappers
rapping about doing drugs, who
people look up to, and think, Oh
thats a G; thats a gangster. I think,
Youre actually being a giant pussy.
Sorry, but those rockers in the 80s
were the furthest thing from rock
stars. They were so insecure and so
lonely that they had to do these
things to get them through the day.
If youre spending your entire
early 20s chasing the next party,
what are you running away from?
she continues. Thats not a badass.
Whats badass is when you can sit
through your problems and feel emotions when you dont want to have
them. There have been nights where
Ive had to sit on my hands, because I
want to act out, because I physically
cant sit still in the pain Im dealing
with, from looking back and being
bullied or other things that happened. And now, as hard as it may be,
I will do that. Thats what makes me
a badass. Being a badass is handling
your shit.
By her own definition, being a

badass also means fighting through
your bad days, and Lovato, like
anyone, still has them. This winter,
she broke her leg. I gained weight
cause I wasnt able to work out, she
says, back in the SUV after another
round of radio interviews and finally
headed home for the day. I stayed on
the couch. My body-image issues
flared up. And I just got depressed.
Not long ago, Lovato might have
unraveled. A year ago, I may have
purged, I may have restricted, I may
have donesomething, she pauses.
But I dont have that option anymore. Its not even like, Well, if I
throw up one time, its not gonna be
a huge deal.That thought cant go

through my head, because if I do that,

everything will spiral out of control.
There are bad days, bad weeks, but I
dont allow myself the option of
falling back.
Instead, she says, I totally allow
myself to cry my eyes out, and I allow
myself to open up to people and ask
for help. She relies on her recovery
team, her counselor, her family, and
her best friendswho are not, contrary to her public image, red-carpet
buddies. I have two incredibly close
amazing friends who are not celebrities, who wouldnt mind hanging out
with my family and my dogs, she
says. Those are the types of friends
that I would have, rather than those
who just want to use me. I had to
learn that the hard way.
As for her romantic life, shes
keeping it private. If Im dating
someone, you may see me out, she
says, but until Im marriageserious, I probably wont walk the red
carpet with anyone. The album is
stacked with emotional breakup
songs. On the last album, I was still
a little numb and just wanting to stay
positive and not tap into that pain or
those emotional issues, she says.
On this album, I was able to release
some stuff that had built up.
The album, magnified by her
plum TV gig, has the potential to
push Lovato to the next level. So 2013
will be a very big year, not least
because in August, she will turn 21.
If celebrations are hard for anyone
in recovery, the 21st birthday of a pop
star is especially dangerous turf.
Its socially acceptable for people on
their 21st birthday to just go out and
get drunk, she says. Instead, shell
celebrate in Kenya with her family
and the charity Free the Children.
Im not gonna lie, its gonna hurt a
little bit, she says, looking out the
car window, maybe at all the bars
and clubs whizzing by. Sometimes,
I wake up and Im like, Why cant I be
normal? Why cant I just.You
know? But I cant. So I dont.
I look at birthdays as celebrating
another year of your life, she says,
smiling. Youve made it another
year. An entire year. The last year
could have turned out very differently. Some people, she says, dont
make it to 21.

My mistake was in
thinking, What
did I do wrong? I did
nothing wrong.
WorldMags.net
MONTH BEFORE I
was set to marry the man I loved, he
called off the wedding. I had no idea
why. He and I had been together for
eight years. We had planned to have
children, build a family. Nearly four
years later, I got my answer. My
former fianc, Jason Collins, a pro
basketball player with the Washington Wizards, announced last spring
in Sports Illustrated that he is gay.
Jason told me hes gay over the
phone on a Monday morning in
April, the same day the magazine hit
newsstands. However, he didnt
mention the articlethat came as a
surprise when I heard about it from a
friend. In his essay, Jason wrote that
hed once been engaged to a woman.
Reporters zoomed in on me, thrusting my name into the news. My
in-box exploded with e-mails from
women saying the same thing had
happened to them. Im sharing what
Ive learned from my experience in
hopes that it might help others.
The day Jason canceled the wedding was surreal. It was July of
2009, and he had just returned
home from a road trip with his twin
brother, Jarron. I had been living
with Jason in Los Angeles for the
previous year, ever since our
engagement. He told me, You may
want to sit down. I loved this man
deeply. He was intelligent, goodhumored, handsome, and importantly, taller than I am7 feet. (Im
6 feet 5 and a former pro basketball
player myself.) His words didnt
make sense to me, and they hit me
hard, freezing my heart. Im just
not sure, he said. There were no
tangible reasons, no explanations.
I opened the front door and ran,
my mind spinning with questions.
I wanted answers. Im an analytical
person, a planner. I make things
work. I wanted to know what was
wrong so I could fix it. I thought
perhaps something was wrong with
me. I kept running until I ran out of
breath. When I returned, he tried to
calm me, but I couldnt stop crying.

WorldMags.net
T STANFORD, JASON,
Jarron, and I became friends. All
basketball players, we ran in the
same social circles. There was no
romance at that point. I hadnt gone
to college to look for a husband. I was
focused on my schoolwork and my
dream: becoming a pro athlete.
When I graduated in 2001, I
achieved my goal, getting drafted
into the WNBA by the Phoenix
Mercury, then signing a contract
with a pro team in France. That year,
I saw Jason unexpectedly in Dallas
while traveling for business. Id gone
to a basketball game with friends,
and there he was, playing with the
New Jersey Nets. We agreed to meet
up after the game. When we did, we
looked at each other and almost
simultaneously asked why we hadnt
dated in college. I felt incredibly
attracted to him. I always had
been Id just been too shy and
focused on my goals to show it.

Moos was with Collins

for eight years before he
left her. She froze
her eggs recently as a
backup plan.
During our conversation, I lost track of time. He had this natural, easygoing way about him that just pulled me in. I remember having this exciting
rush of emotion, because I could picture myself with him for the long-term.
We were very compatible, with our shared athleticism and academic
background, and his height was a bonus. It seemed like a given that we would
become a couple, and we did, albeit a long-distance one.
Jason and I talked on the phone and saw each other when we could. Our
schedules as pro athletes made things challenging. I returned to the U.S.
from France in 2002 and signed a contract with the WNBA, this time with the
Miami Sol. Jasons home base was L.A., but his team at the time was in New
Jersey. In the off-season, we had more time together. We loved working out,
playing golf and tennis, just hanging out and talking about our lives. We

The first time I laid eyes on Jason,

I had been running as well. It was
the fall of 1997, the first day of my
freshman year at Stanford University. I had just gone out for a jog
when I ran smack into Jason and
Jarrontwo towering, stunning
guys. I stopped and introduced
myself, thrilled to meet people who
were actually taller than I am. I was
attracted to Jason but shy. We had a
brief chat, and I kept running. I
called my mom that night and said,
I think Im going to be at home at
StanfordI feel normal, like I fit in.
I hadnt exactly been normal
growing up in Minneapolis. For one
thing, I had rocketed to 6 feet tall by
sixth grade. I embraced my height,
learning everything from hockey to
ballet; I was both a tomboy and a
girlie girl. When I discovered
basketball, I truly found myself. I
loved the rhythm, the artistry of the
game. It was like dancing on the
court. I excelled, winning a gold
medal in the Junior Olympics, and
college recruiters came calling. I
chose Stanford because academics
were as important to me as athletics.

VER THE NEXT few

years, I got my masters and started
my own business in L.A., Fitt4Life,
as a certified personal trainer,
nutrition consultant, and yoga
instructor. Jason was traded to a
team in Memphis, then Minnesota.
I began to feel like it was taking
forever for him to propose, but
I knew hed do it when he was ready.
Wed discussed marriage, but we
were young, in our 20s. I felt sure it
would happen by 30.
Finally, on a trip to Mexico in
2008, some seven years after we had
begun our relationship, he finally
said the words I had waited so long
to hear. Wed been swimming with
dolphins, eating fresh seafood,
having an amazing time. Over
dinner on our last night, he started
out slowly, saying, Ive been thinking about my life, what I want. I felt
like finishing the sentence for him.
Then he said, I wanted to ask if you
would marry me.
I remember feeling overwhelmed
with joy and also thinking: finally.
I was almost 30. In the air on the way
home, I saw my future unfolding
before me. I pictured our family:
intelligent, athletic, tall, dynamic.
I could hardly wait to get off the plane to start making plans for the wedding.
Soon after, Jason and I moved in together in L.A. We cooked at home and
enjoyed having barbecues. We discussed our future plans, agreeing that we
both wanted children. I felt grounded in the knowledge that he wanted kids.
Family is very important to me.
A year later, he canceled the wedding, throwing me into a tailspin. Up to
that point, everything Id ever wanted, I had achieved through hard work and
sheer determination. When I couldnt get answers from Jason on what had
gone wrong, I questioned myself and what I could have done better or differently. I should have been questioning him, but I didnt think to do so at all.
In the years that followed, I dated other men, I built up my business, I had a
full life. But when it came to Jason, deep sadness and confusion remained.
The phone call this April ended the mystery. He left a message on a Sunday,
saying, I have something important to talk aboutplease call me back.
I was working and called the next morning. He uttered an eerily familiar
phrase: You may want to sit down. Then he said, Carolyn, Im gay. I was
stunned. I managed to say, after a silent moment and then a deep breath, I
had no idea. Im sure a huge weight is off your shoulders. During all the years
I had known him, I never would have guessed that he would come out as gay.
We talked again briefly that night. He answered a few questions, but there
was much left to discuss and he
said he had to go. As I tell this
story, it has been several weeks
since he told me his news and he
has made no further time to
talk, despite saying he would do
so. I am sad that the media
seems to be a higher priority.
I hope this changes in the
coming weeks, as I value open
dialogue more than anything.
I cant imagine what its like
to go through all the stages he
has gone through, all the deep
layers. I dont know what its like
to wear a mask for 34 years. Its
sad that society puts that kind
of pressure on a person. I also
understand the macho stereotypes men face in the NBA. I ran
up against a reverse stereotype in the WNBA: People said I was too feminine to be a pro player. I quickly proved them wrong, showing that my nail
polish and dresses had nothing to do with my ability to compete on the court.
I empathize with Jason and support him. But at the same time, I remain
deeply hurt by him. I wish he could have been honest with me years ago. I feel
like there are two Jasons nowthe man I fell in love with and the man Im
trying so hard to understand. Hes being hailed as a pioneer, but I believe true
heroism is a result of being honest with yourself and with those you love.
Today, I am 35 years old and dating. I have a great life. I train pro athletes
and high school kids, and I work at athletic camps with at-risk children. Im
writing a book that I hope will help other women. I froze my eggs last week as
a backup plan. Its an empowering option, something I had been planning to
do for some time. I realized recently that maybe I had put it off because there
was some seed of hope that Jason might come back to me. Its hard to admit
that. But I face up to issuesI run toward them one hundred miles an hour.
What I have learned is that my mistake was in thinking, What did I do
wrong? I did nothing wrong. I was true to myself. I understand now that you
can never truly know whats going on in the mind of another person, no
matter how well you think you know them. But you do know yourself. Be
your own cheerleader. Trust in yourself.

understood each other in a way that

others couldnt. We knew what it
was like to travel with a team from
one hotel room to the next. We talked
about what it was like to be traded to
another team, to have grueling
schedules and back-to-back games.
We pushed each other to be our best.
On one visit, I remember taking a
nap after a day of hard training, and
he woke me up by rubbing a rose
across my face, telling me how much
he believed in me. Another time,
he told me that I was his soul mate
and I was meant for him. When I
began thinking about graduate
school at the University of Southern
California, Jason supported my
ultimate decision to enroll. I wanted
to put down some roots and cut
down on all the travel. We agreed
that it would be a good time to start
this new phase of my life.

heila COSTFORD IS A PRINCESS

just ask her. Its not just because Im a pretty face, says
Costford, 34, who is at Disney World, in Orlando, Florida,
on a February weekend with 24,500 other women for
Disneys Princess Half Marathon. I am strong and
capable. I put myself together and look nice, and I am
good to others. In fact, Costford is a Perfect Princess,
a title Disney bestows only to those 324 women who
have run each annual Princess race, an event that has
nearly quadrupled in size since its debut in 2009.
What also anoints Costford: She was

married at Disney World, hangs a
pink princess stocking over the fireplace at Christmas, and has a tiara
collection. She and her friends once
donned old bridesmaids dresses and
tiaras and dined at Cinderellas Royal
Table, after waiting eight months for
the reservation.
Costford is also a postdoctoral
fellow at the Hospital for Sick Children, in Toronto, Ontario, studying
the biological mechanisms that
cause obesity and type 2 diabetes.
So how does a PhD scientist find
herself at the starting line of a princess run, wearing purple wings, a
wand festooned with feathers, and a
tiara around her updo? In her mind,
the two things go hand in hand.
Taking the time to put yourself
together conveys to your colleagues
that you are confident and capable,
she says. The professional princess
doesnt claw her way up the ladder.
She ascends through the ranks by
employing kindness, courtesy, and
charm, leaving everyone with whom
she has worked singing her praises.
And as for actually donning a
tutu and tiara? I spend my days
injecting insulin into mice, she
says. Dressing up as a princess
after all that is funnot so much a
fantasy as a complete escape.
Thats how a lot of women seem
to feel here at Princess Weekend.
Theyre here to run, but theres
something else at play as princesses

of every shape and size and color

prance through the Magic Kingdom
arm in arm. They are giddy, ridiculous, and completely uninhibited.
Every girl wants to be a princess
and marry Prince Charming, says
Laura Ryan, 23, a Victorias Secret
product manager from Charleston,
South Carolina. She favors Belle from
Beauty and the Beast. Shes just like
a Southern lady. I know shes from
France, technically, but she is classy.
Gloria Makosy, 40, a specialeducation teacher from
Mount Airy, Maryland, is
here with seven friends and
running as Merida from
Brave. Its a time when I
am not judged, she says.
A woman dressed as Ariel
confides that watching The
Little Mermaid with her
daughter helped her get
through the sudden death of
her young husband. Malinda

as a princess provides a

bereavement counselor.

Corpus Christi, Texas, says

who are now in their 20s

maybe a little wistful for

Belle, and all their royal friends.

Trujillo, senior manager of merchandise for Disney Theme Parks.

You dont grow out of being a Disney
Princess. You just grow older.
So it is that teens can buy Disney
Princess prom dresses and 20somethings can sex up Halloween in a
Sassy Princess costume. Brides can
walk down the aisle in Disney
Princess wedding gowns, their
Disney Princess rings twinkling,
wearing shoes from DSWs Glass
Slipper Collection. Last spring, Marc
Jacobs released a $595 reinvention of
Cinderellas slipper in transparent
PVC, and earlier this year, Kristyn
Marrott, 24, exchanged rings
wearing one-of-a-kind Christian
Louboutin heels crafted in honor of
the release of Cinderella on Blu-ray.
Nearly 2,000 women entered a photo
contest portraying themselves as a
modern-day Cinderella to win the
shoes. I just had to have them, says
Marrott, a tae kwon do instructor
from Ashburn, Virginia, who most
loves Tiana, the hardworking
heroine of The Princess and the Frog.
Last fall, Sephora introduced its
Cinderella Collection; this spring
brought the Jasmine Collection, and
in fall comes the Little Mermaid line.
Inside the Disney resorts, 20 percent
of Princess sales are from an adult
line that includes handbags, jewelry,

and cosmetics. Theres an inner part
of each of our guests that truly
believes she is a princess, says
Trujillo. Its in her DNA.
BUT IS IT? Its hard to know if the

Disney Princess franchise has
tapped into a need, created a need,
or simply made princesses so
ubiquitous that they can symbolize
anything to any woman. The sheer
amount of princess stuff out there
and the marketing of it has consumed the identities of girls, says
Peggy Orenstein, author of Cinderella Ate My Daughter. Princess has
become shorthand for expressing all
sorts of things. Right now, that
seems to be femininity, specialness,
entitlement, andalthough I don't
know whystrength.

Princess Weekend standing in line

Bourke Princess handbag, says she

grew up playing Ariel in her swimming pool. She had Ariel sheets and
pajamas, and she has planned to the
last seashell an Ariel wedding, with
Prince Erics castle in the background and little bubbles hanging
everywhere. Today, she works in the
Dino-Rama section at Disney
Animal Kingdom but dreams of
getting a job as Sleeping Beauty. The
5-foot-10 beauty has auditioned twice
despite knowing that her height
disqualifies her.
Nurse longs to be a princess not
only professionally but also in her
actual life. I dont believe in looking
for my one true love. I really do think
he will find me, she says, blue eyes
twinkling. For now, she says, she is
princeless. But driving around in
her pink car, texting on her pink
iPhone, and still planning her Little
Mermaid wedding, she waits for the
man who will open doors for her, buy
her flowers every day, and know her
favorite songnot because he has to
but because he wants to.
Shes also working on her
second-choice career plan: to be a
Disney wedding planner. Being a
princess means not only having
your own dreams come true, she
explains, but making other
peoples dreams come true too.

in front of Cinderella Castle, wearing
grazing their shoulders, as their

parents snap photos. I wanted to
be the princess they expected me to
be, she says. I know that image will
stay with them for a long time.
Alaniz-Torres remembers her

was 8 years old and unimpressed
with girlie-girl princesses. She
gravitated toward Pocahontasan

She vividly recalls how the cast

member playing Jasmine stayed
to chat with her after her shift
had ended. That was it, she says.
I became a princess fan forever.
Alaniz-Torress childhood wasnt

easyher family fell on hard times
when her father lost his job, putting
visits to Disney World out of reach. So
it was a natural for her boyfriend,
Chris Torres, to figure that if he took
her back to the park, wined and dined
her at Cinderellas Royal Table, and
proposed, she might say yes.
"My friends at work tease me for
everything I do for Christina, says
Torres, who often has dinner and a
foot rub waiting when his bride gets
home from work. When other people
tell me about their relationships, I
think it would be cool if Christina did
that stuff for me. But this is how we
started, and I will probably be doing
these things until I die, he says with
good-natured resignation.
Thats one of the reasons I decided
to marry Chris, says Alaniz-Torres,
who has dated the cable-company
employee and deejay business owner
since she was 18. He really is Prince
Charming. The couple saved $12,000

for the perfect princess wedding,

including a Crystal Coach shaped like
a pumpkin and complemented by two
wigged footmen and six Shetland
ponies. (Its the same ride Mariah
Carey took for her wedding-vow
renewal in April.)
As the carriage whisks her from
the castle to the wedding pavilion,
the bride starts to sob, then pulls
herself together, smiles, and waves
to the crowd. Not just any wave, she
explains, but a princess wave: wrist,
wrist, elbow, elbow, run your hand
across your cheek, and blow a kiss.
NOT EVERYONE loves a princess.

Its a form of insanity, Orenstein
says. Why cant they emulate
queens? A queen actually has power.
She rules. The princess has no power
except the power that comes from
being pretty and young, which, of
course, cannot last. Not having to be
in charge is the point of princess
culture, adds Rebecca Hains, PhD,
author of Confronting Cinderella.

These women are saying they want
it all but in a way that doesnt involve
the work and does include the
sparkle and glamour. The nostalgia
is for a time that never was and for
dreams that are unattainable.
Women are being joyously duped.
A surprising number of women
racing at Princess Weekend agree.
(Princesses are either born into it or
marry into it, says Hayley Bowers, a
28-year-old English teacher from
Atlanta, Georgia. They dont have a
lot of dramatic arc.) But unlike the
cultural critics, these anti-princess
princesses dont seem to be taking the
phenomenon very seriously. And
their definitions of what a princess is
have become intensely personal.
Half an hour after she crossed the
finish line, Kara Peters, a 27-year-old
financial-education coordinator from
East Lansing, Michigan, is still wiping tears from her blue eyes. Im not
a girlie girl, she sniffs, adjusting her
WorldMags.net
tiara. I dont like tutusshes wearing oneand I never wear makeup.

Two years ago, Peters explains,
she was 54 pounds heavier than she
is today. She couldnt run a quarter
lap around a track. Then she started
working out. When her running
partner suggested she enter the
Princess Half Marathon, Peters
figured the stakes couldnt be lower.
It was not exactly the Olympics.
The day of the race, she passed the
10-mile mark, something she had
never done before. I hadnt allowed
myself to believe that I would finish,
and when I realized that I was going
to, I couldnt control my emotions,
Peters says. For her at least, being
a princess is not about being selfabsorbed, materialistic, or rescued
by a man. I know its silly, she says.
But there was such female bonding
and empowerment out there. The
women werent like, Hey, move,
youre in my way. They were like,
Hey, I like your tutu.

I want to try anal sex,

but Im scared. Be
honest...will it hurt?
A
Sex educator Jamye Waxman says before you even

think about trying it, make sure you have two things:
a caring partner who listens and a good silicone
lubricant. The next step is the warm-up. Start
with a well-lubricated finger or butt plug before you
graduate to a penis, Waxman says. If your body
resists any of those, stop and breathe, she says.
Eventually, when you relax, your rectum will
relax with you. Now, as to the second part of
your question, yeah, it may hurt a little. It should
eventually feel better, even pleasurable. But if it
doesnt, dont keep doing it! You may just have a
back door that you prefer not to use for guests.
therapists in The Journal of Sex Medicine found that

intercourse lasting from 7 to 13 minutes is the most
desirable. If hes within that time frame and youre
still suffering from sex burn, try using more lube or
go down on him for a bit before he enters you. If he
takes longer, alcohol or medication could be to blame.
Antidepressants and even antihistamines (They
dry everything up, says Arlene Goldman, PhD,
coauthor of Secrets of Sexual Ecstasy) can make him
take longer to finish. Or it could be that he is masturbating too much and has become accustomed to the
intense friction of his hand. Be honest and tell him
that sometimes sex goes on for so long that it becomes
uncomfortable and youve heard that medication,
alcohol, or too much, uh, self-love can be inhibitors.
He cant cut out the meds (but you can strategize
together about ways to make sex better for you). He
can, however, ease up on the other two.

squeeze out some intel. Heres your

He dropped the L-bombwhile wasted. Um, now what?
SO, THAT HAPPENED
DID HE MEAN IT?
Its Saturday night, and youre at the

bar with the guy youve been dating.
Youve both been partaking in some
tequila. Everyones having a good

looks at you with noticeably glossedover eyes and says those three little
words for the very first time: I love
you. Huh?
It dependsbooze affects different

men in different ways. It slows down
the brains frontal lobe, which
controls judgment and inhibition, so
yesits possible that he was
sharing feelings he didnt have the
guts to express without some shots.
But when guys drink, they also
become more sexually motivated
i.e., his L-bomb could just be his
horny subconscious trying to
scheme its way into your pants.
Ask him if he remembers what he

said that night. You can do this
in person, over text, on the
phone, whatever. Just be sure to leave
the question open-endedthat way,
hes more likely to share his true
thoughts. If he admits to saying it but
doesnt volunteer an explanation
STEP
Ask him point-blank if he meant it.

Yes, its blunt, but if you want
to know, its the only way.
Remember, its not like youre asking
him apropos of nothingthe words did
leave his mouth, and you have every
right to know if they were legit.

A guy asked me out to

see a movie. He picked
me up, so I offered to
pay for the movie
tickets, saying it was
like reimbursing him
for gas money. I didnt
think he would let me,
but he did. Shouldnt
he have tried to pay?
140
Theres a voyeuristic element to

watching you touch yourself,
even though he knows you know
hes watching. And because he
knows you know hes watching,
it feels to him like youre touching
yourself because youre so turned
on by the fact that hes watching.
Got all that? Good, because its a
turn-on for him. Plus, Im sure
youre well aware of the fact that
guys love visual stimuli. And one
more reason to indulge this request:
Hell be able to gather valuable intel
on how you like to be touched. So
make sure you do it in a way you
genuinely enjoy rather than
worrying about giving him a good
show. Because trust me, no matter
what you do, itll be a good show.
A He shouldnt have tried to pay for the

ticketshe should have insisted on paying
for them. So I agree with you, but let me explain
why I think he did what he did. It sounds like
you made a strong argument to pay (although
it was a very poorly reasoned argumentfor
the cost of two movie tickets to equal the cost of
gas to get there, the theater would have had to
have been in a different state!). Men tend to
be pathologically eager to please on a first date,
so when a woman seems intent on splitting
the cost, some guys agree to it, not because
theyre cheapskates but because they think
thats truly what she wants. If you liked the
guy otherwise, give him another chance.

Q After we broke up,
LIGHTWEIGHT YET INTENSE.
my ex and I continued to
call each other every year
on our anniversary, to say
hello and catch up. This
year, I left a message, but
he never called me back.
I know hes still single, so
why the radio silence all
of a sudden?
A You know hes still single even
though hes not speaking to you? Im
not convinced, but lets just say he
doesnt have a serious girlfriend. He
could have just started dating
someone, which would probably
make that annual phone call a lot
less important to him. Or maybe he
just decided it was finally time to let
go of your old relationship, including the anniversary ritualan
excellent decision, if you ask me.
(And you did.) That doesnt mean
the two of you wont get back in
touch. It just means that youll no
longer focus on a relationship that
ended years ago.
Q Ive been living with

my boyfriend for about
two years now, and we
were dating for a few
years prior to that. I
assumed that moving in
together would result
in our taking things to the
next level in our relationship, but it hasnt.
Whats taking him so
long to pop the question?
A You thought that moving in

together would take things to the

next level, but it actually eliminated
the need to take it to the next level
at least as far as your boyfriend is
concerned. Plenty of men (and
women) see no point to marriage if
all the things people typically associate with marriage are already
there: a stable long-term relation-
ship, shared responsibilities,

cohabitation, etc. You two have all
those things, so Im guessing he
sees no reason to throw a mindbendingly expensive party or buy a
pricey ring just to get a piece of
paper with your names on it. That
said, any committed couple should
be capable of discussing their life
goals with each other. You need
to clearly tell him you want to get
married and give him a general
time frame. Im guessing his
response will be something along
the lines of Why? So have your
answer ready.
Q My man and I have

been together for about a
year, and during that time,
I just havent been able to
vibe with his best friend.
I know it makes my
boyfriend uncomfortable,
but I cant imagine myself
ever seeing eye to eye
with his annoying friend.
How do I make things
cordial for my boyfriends
sake while not having to
force myself to be nice?
A Um, whats so bad about forcing
yourself to be nice? Im sure you
do it all the time, whether its with
coworkers you deal with for the sake
of your job or with family members
you tolerate so that Thanksgiving
doesnt turn into a tear- and gravysoaked nightmare. Im not saying
that you should take abuse from the
friend or you cant ever disagree
with him. But you can limit the
amount of time you spend around
him, and you can try to ignore the
dumber things he says or does. My
guess is that this guy is simply an
immature goofball whos sad that
his best friend isnt around as much
and who might be taking that out
on you. You sound like a caring
girlfriend, and once the friend
settles down and sees that you both
have your boyfriends best interests
at heart, hell change his tune.

SEX
ON
THE
FIRST
DATE
Along with not wearing white after Labor Day
(seriously?) and waiting for a guy to ask you out
(eff that), you can add Dont have sex on
a first date to the list of rules that are now
considered one hundred percent outdated.
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
We used to think that falling into bed
with someone too soon would disqualify
you from being considered girlfriend
material. But welcome to 2013, when the
world is a lot less sexist than it used to be.
In this day and age, more people
recognize sex as an important component of a successful relationship, not
something to be ashamed of, says Justin
Lehmiller, PhD, a social psychologist at
Harvard who studies relationships and
sexuality. For those people, its important to establish sexual compatibility
early on, and having sex on the first date
may be the right move for them.
Ultimately, getting nekkid with some
dude youve known for only 2.5 hours may
not be your thing, and thats fine too. The
point is that hard-and-fast dating rules
(like No sex till date three) and oldfashioned expressions like the vile Why
buy the cow when you can get the milk for
free? are antiquated and harmfulthey
produce all this unnecessary anxiety and
shame about something normal and natural: dating and sex. At Cosmo, were all
about breaking the rules, so when the new
book Its Okay to Sleep With Him on the
First Date: And Every Other Rule of Dating,
Debunked landed on our desks, we were
inspired to launch our own investigation.
TOM HUSSEY/MICHAEL GINSBURG AND ASSOCIATES;

BLACK IMAGES/SHUTTERCOCK.
We polled almost 1,000 18- to

35-year-olds about their
attitudes on sex on the first date
and whether theyve actually
done it. And we gave the books
coauthor, Jeff Wilser, a
chance to break down his POV.
TRUST ME
MEN DONT JUDGE
YOU FOR HAVING
SEX ON A FIRST DATE.
You go on a date. Its fun. You hook upand
then he loses interest. Why did this happen?
Who knows: Maybe hes too picky, maybe he
doesnt feel a spark, maybe hes
commitmentphobic, or maybe hes just a
game-playing douche.
There is one variable, however, that
almost never feeds into the equation:
whether you gave it up too soon. Its a
misconception that is held by millions
(spoiler alert: Cosmos poll found

that 83 percent of women believe
men think less of a woman who has
sex on the first date), but the truth is,
most guys just dont think like that (67
percent of guys polled say they
absolutely dont). Men are simple
creatures. In the history of planet
Earth, no guy has ever said, Shes
awesome. Shes intelligent. Shes sexy,
and shes into Game of Thrones. Theres
only one problem.We hooked up on
the first date.
If the moment feels right, and
theres chemistry, why not sleep
together? says my friend Teddy,
a designer, who has the guts to say
what most guys really think. When he
was 23 and living in Austin, Texas,
a female bartender thought he was cute
and asked him out. On their first date,
they slammed tequila shots, danced to
Patsy Cline, hailed a cab, made out in
the back seat, and then stumbled into
her apartment to do what single people
do. Did Teddy think that she wasnt
girlfriend material? The question
strikes him as ridiculous. After a first
date hookup, all I think about is
whether I like her, whether shes smart
and funny, and if I want to see her
again. He did. They dated exclusively
for a few months, and no, while it didnt
end in a wedding (most relationships
dont), their breakup had nothing to do
with the boozy romp.
If theres chemistry, theres
chemistry, and from the guys
perspective, it doesnt really matter
if we hook up on date one or date
seven. I dont say this lightly. I just
cowrote a dating book about it. As part
of our research, my cowriter
(relationship expert Andrea Syrtash)
and I heard hundreds of men say the
same thing again and again: Men are
unfazed by first-date booty.
Lets look at Exhibit B. A few years
ago, Phil from Chicago (then 36 and an
exec at a chocolate company) visited
some friends in Toronto. He hit it off
with a woman named Rica, who
decided to seduce him. I just wanted to
get laid, Rica told me, laughing. I had
bought a new $5,000 bed, and I wanted
to break it in.
The conventional wisdom would
say that Rica made a mistake. Acted
too aggressively. Misplayed the game.

guy who sleeps around is a stud

and a woman who sleeps around is a
slut. Its ugly, unfair, and openly
sexist. And would you really want to
date that kind of hypocrite anyway?)
When researching the book, we
found that many women decided to
wait for their own reasons. If you
know that sleeping with someone
wont bring out your best or will
make you needy, its a good idea to
wait, says Andrea Syrtash, my
cowriter on the book. However,
dont wait because you think the
guy will lose respect or interest.
Wait because of how it will affect
you. Its really not about him. Guys
who are interested in you will still
call and pursue you after theyve
seen you naked.
Confession time: Its also possible that we wont call after a firstnight hookup. This happens. Ive
had dates where I was only kindasorta feeling it, then we drank a
round of margaritas, then another
round, and soon were making out
and hooking up. (Stay classy, Jeff!)
Then the next morning, were sober.
The spark is gone, and date two
never happens. The fallacy, though,
is thinking that date two would
have happened if we had skipped
the nooky. Thats misidentifying
the root cause. If the man and the
woman are a match, it doesnt
really matter when they hook up.
Corollary: If theyre not a match, it
also doesnt really matter. (See the
handy matrix, at left.)
As for Phil and Rica? Eventually
he moved to Toronto to live with her.
They traveled to England as a
couple, toured the countryside, and
even stayed in a stone castlewhere
he took out a diamond ring and
popped the question. She said yes!

Do you hook up on the first date?

back of Ricas dress tore open, she
turned to Phil and said, Well, I
guess youre going to have to keep
your hand on my ass all night. Phil
told the conventional wisdom to go
to hell. It wasnt a red flag. It was
super hot and sexy. And then, the
next morning, it was so much more
intimate. We got to know each other,
and we found that we had so much
in common. They broke every rule.
They christened Ricas bed, spent
the weekend together, held hands at
the coffee shop, and when Phil
returned home to Chicago, It felt
magical, like we were already

How about Phils buddies? Did
they snicker, disapprove, and warn
that shes only booty-call material?
Thats not how we operate. My
friends just told me, You lucky

if she came to visit, he would make
her an elaborate six-course dinner
of scallops, monkfish, and lime
sorbet. She hopped a flight to
Chicago, he cooked, and they

Okay. Its time for a key clarification. Im not saying that you should
hook up on the first date. Im not
arguing that it will boost your odds
of finding love. That logic is nutty,
and I have no idea if it makes sense
from your perspective. Maybe it does,
maybe it doesnt, and there are 357

(Obvious? Id hope so. But my lawyer
is forcing me to type these disclaimers at gunpoint.) All Im saying is
that if you want to hook up, were
not going to think less of you. You
shouldnt feel guilty. You
shouldnt feel ashamed.

2. At the beginning of the semester, scout

where you wont be tempted to socialize.
3. Be social before class, and spot the
students who seem to get it. Suggest a
Facebook group for homework help, or
organize and host a study session.
4. Use apps like Notability to record
lectures, and download SelfControl, an
app that blocks websites like Tumblr and
BuzzFeed while youre studying.
5. Take advantage of your professors
office hours, and e-mail them with any
questions. Putting in the extra effort
could pay off come final-grade time.

restrooms have been through a Saturday night.
Check out these smart ways to overcome.
BEFRIEND THE FRONT DESK workers so they
might let you use the employee bathroom.
MAKE A MENTAL NOTE of where the quieter
halls are. Use those bathrooms on Sundays.
USE PAPER TOWELS to turn on and off the
faucet and to open and close doors, especially at
the end of the weekend, when guests you dont
know have also been using the bathrooms.
LAY YOUR TOOTHBRUSH on a paper towel.
USE HAND SANITIZER to kill any germs you
may have picked up.
LET AN RA KNOW if someones thrown up in the
bathroom. Its their job to call facilities if any major
cleanup is needed.

As a freshman, the idea

of studying abroad scared
me. It wasnt until late into
my senior year that I
realized I loved to travel
and I should have made
time to study overseas.

10 Sexy Things to Do
Before You Graduate
You have four years to flirt, date, and hook up.

We just so happen to have some ideas on how to make the best of them.
1. GYM PICK-UP Bring two water bottles
72%
with you. Chase after a sexy lughead when he

exits: Excuse me! You left your water on the
treadmill. Oh, you didnt? I still think Im owed a
coffee for the Good Samaritan attempt.
of Harvard
freshmen entered
their freshman
year as virgins.
2.I hooked up in the

campus bell tower.
You have to squeeze
through a gate to get
in, but where theres a
will, theres a way.
Harvard Crimson survey

of 2013 grads
9.
WORK IT at the library. Dress cute for

that all-nighterall those study breaks are
great mingling opportunities. Also show up
with two lattes in hand, and offer one to a cute
guy buried behind his laptop: I was supposed
to meet my friend, but she bailed. Want this?
Caffeine is the currency of la biblioteca.
Lisa N., 20
3. FLUFF AND FOLD in the laundry

room instead of back in your room. Or show up
before the time is up on the dryer. If a cute guy
walks in, small talk will happen organically.
10.My freshman year,
Isabel E., 20
5. BRING A FRISBEE to toss around

with your friends on the quad. Accidentally
throw it at some hot guys so they have to send
it back your way and join in. Just dont break
your targets nosethat would be awkward.
COSMO
Safe-Sex Tip
Choose protection that
works for you before youre in a
hookup situation. Check out
Bedsider.org for birth-control
comparisons and where to get
them (sometimes for free)
based on your
zip code.

6.I hooked up
with my TA in the
classroom. Lauren N., 21
I dated a film major, and

we snuck into the filmediting office. Only film
majors had access to it, so
we had privacy. Ally S., 22
7. USE A PERSONAL DAY as an

excuse to Facebook message the J.Crew model
lookalike in your psychology class to ask what
you missed. (It also reminds him that you exist,
you have great hair, and he should friend you.)
8.We were hooking up in

the ceramics building, then
Officer Wendy from Public Safety
caught us. I had to run out with
my clothes stuffed in my jacket.

HELLO, PARTY
CENTRAL!
So your room is where the pre-game is going
down tonight? Heres how to do it right.
PLAN. Talk with your roommates about
whos coming, so you can all get a ballpark
number of guests.
CLEAR THE WAY. Get personal stuff out of
sight (tampons, dirty laundry, etc.). Stash
anything breakable or valuableyou dont
want your pearls to walk away.
MAKE IT EXTRA FUN. Whip up a signature
cocktail (named after yourself, of course!),
e!),
pass out mustaches, funny sunglasses, orr
even name tags with ridiculous nicknames.
s.
CROWD CONTROL. Make up a password soo
you open the door only for those invited (and
nd
youll know if its an RA). Pick a line from
your fave movie, or get creative.
BE IN CHARGE. Its your room, so keep an
eye out so things dont get out of hand. And
lock your door behind you on the way out!

WorldMags.net Tip

Go for Broke!
Membership dues. Supersize textbooks. And yes, snacks! Use these

seven tips so you never find yourself with a zero balance. BY CYBELE WEISSER
Pick one thing to buy with a credit

card. You do need to establish a credit
history, so get a card with no annual fee
and use it to cover a single, regular
expense, such as your cell phone,
so you know you can always
pay off the bill in full. Search
for options at Nerd
Wallet.com.
Track Your Spending
Ditch the Wheels
Writing down your expenses every day can be a

drag. Instead, download the free app from Mint
.comit will send you a text message if your
checking account falls below a certain amount.
Students spend an average of $75 on gas per

month, and campus parking can cost up to
$500 a semester. So even if you love your car,
try to live without it and youll save boatloads.
Pay Attention to
Your Patterns
Rent Your Books
Go on a Debit Diet
Swiping plastic is painless, and when youre
out at night, after a few drinks, its a slippery
spending slope. So go out with a specific
amount of cash to limit your spending automatically (just keep enough for a cab ride home).
The average student spends about $600

a year on textbooks, but sites like Bookrenter
.com offer books for 60 to 80 percent off,
including shipping.
Get a Job Off-Campus

On-campus jobs are convenient but often
pay only minimum wage. To up your take, get
a job that uses skills related to your major.
Majoring in business? Local banks
sometimes hire part-time tellers. Good at
jewelry making? A college side project
can turn into a real business.
WorldMags.net
HARRY VORSTEHER/CORBIS
Buying chips and candy at the local convenience store every afternoon? Go to Sams
Club, and stock up on snacks to save without
sacrifice. Or get a gig working at a caf that will
let you take home baked goods galore.

We thought technicolor
mascara was cool.
All hail le blanc lashes!
1. Apply two coats of white
mascara or lash primer to
lower lashes only, says
makeup artist Christian
McCulloch, who created
these looks.
2. Balance out the look by
lining and coating upper
lashes in black (bronze

1. Here, McCulloch lined
upper lashes with white
pencil (see his pick on page

beyond outer corners with a
slight upward flick.
2. For the second wing,
trace directly above the
first line, stopping just short
of its outer edge.

TIPS
White lacquer with

metallic details make
for a major mani.
Start with two coats of
snow-white polish (on
our models: Zoya Nail Polish
in Purity, $8), layering a
matte top coat between
each to minimize streaking.
Our (very patient!) nail pro,
Julie Kandalec, applied a
lineup of metal spikes (a
craft-store staple) to each
nail. But one or two accent
nails look cool too. Press
spikes into damp polish with
a tweezer.
Using a metallic Sharpie,
draw French tips, half
moons, stripes, whatever!
Mess up? Alcohol removes
the marker, not the base.

Triple
PLATINUM
Pale-white blondes are
totally trending.
(White specs too!)
1. An icy allover hue takes
serious upkeep, says stylist
Zaiya Latt. Plan on seeing
your colorist monthlyand,
in between, dousing strands
with a violet shampoo (try
Clairol Shimmer Lights,
$6.09) to prevent brassiness.
2. For a lower-maintenance
take on the trend, ask your
pro to paint on cool, silvertoned streaks instead.

SKIN
Fake sky-high cheekbones with pearl

highlighter. It looks
amazing on deep skin
tones and faux tans.
1. Swipe illuminating
cream high along the
ridges of your cheekbones,
from the apples of your
cheeks to your temples.
2. Top with shimmery
powder (a flat fan brush
deposits the perfect
amount, says McCulloch).
Want extra drama?
Smudge shimmery white
liner on the inner corners
of your eyes.

Pair a messy topknot

with a white leather

1. Mist day-old strands with
dry shampoo for texture. (Try
Tresemm Fresh Start, $5.)
2. Gather hair at the top
of your head, and twist it into
an imperfect bun, pinning
it in place, says Latt. Slide
the band an inch behind
your hairline.

To get more out of the farmers market,

ask a farmer: Pam Clarke Torres of
Prospect Hill Orchards, in New York,
tells how to afford the great stuff at the
green market this month.
Stock Up on Stuff
That Lasts
The softer the item, the faster it spoils,

says Clarke Torres. Buy only a few
peaches and berries and more of heartier
foods, like apples and carrots.

might get a two-for-one deal.

NAMASTE CRUNCH
1 Lie with your entire body touching the floor. Extend your arms overhead, palms facing each other. 2 Swing arms to your sides, and
begin lifting your upper body. 3 Make a 45-degree angle with the

Alicia Greulich thought her new tattoos, one

on each foot, would help get her through her first
year of college. Theyre sailor designs. Theyre
supposed to stop you from sinking, says the
20-year-old from Bloomfield, New Jersey. But soon
after getting inked last January, she says, one foot
was really inflamed. It hurt so much I could barely
walk. Her tattoo was infected. Antibiotics helped,
but not before she missed a week of class.
With so many tats out there38 percent of 18- to

Dont Poke at It
It makes it hard to monitor

Dr. Shinohara says. And if
you do have a cancer scare,
the pigments can screw up

your artist to steer clear.
While skin is healing,

greatest threat. Avoid

Im too
young...
for lung
cancer
Although I didnt realize it, there were signs.

In 2005, Id been recruited by East Carolina
University to play soccer, a dream Id dedicated
my life to. (I even missed my senior prom for a
game!) But I couldnt pass a fitness test, no
matter how hard I trained. When I sprinted,
my toes, feet, and shins would go numb. I saw
doctors, but no one knew what was happening.
It broke my heart, but I had to quit the team.
Then, during fall break of my sophomore
year, I was out with my sister when I started
having terrible cramps. By the time she convinced me to go to the emergency room, I
thought I must have had a ruptured appendix.
A CT scan showed that I had an ovarian
cyst, which is fairly common. But the scan
showed something else. The doctor said, Are
you aware of the 3-centimeter mass on your
left lung? They kept saying mass.Nobody
actually said cancer, you know? A week or so
later, I went with my parents for more tests,
and the doctor stuck his hand out and said,
Hi, Miss Bell. I understand you have lung cancer. Thats when our bubble of denial basically
popped. I thought, Im 21 years old. Im not a
smoker. Its not possible. But I learned that 1 in
5 women with lung cancer never smoked.
My doctors think the tumor was resting on
my heart, which may have affected my circulation and caused the leg problems. One month
after my diagnosis, my doctor made a small
incision between my ribs and another under
my left breast and removed two chunks of
my lung. The surgery cured me. But they say its the
most painful surgery to recover
from, and I agree. Imagine a
garden hose inserted 16 inches
into your chest, connected to a
box that you carry around with
you that drains your chest cavity.

If bad news is breaking, you can probably find
Marina Vorobyev glued to her television. Last
year, it was Hurricane Sandy that fixated the
28-year-old event coordinator from Morganville,
New Jersey. Im Russian, so I was obsessed
with what was happening in the Russian neighborhoods on Coney Island during Sandy, she
recalls. I was eating up the news. I kept thinking, What if it were my grandmother? Then,
this spring, she couldnt tear herself away from
the 24/7 news coverage of the Boston Marathon
bombing. September 11 really did a number on
me, so every time some form of terrorism
happens, I get flashbacks, she says. It gets
really intensein my head, every car parked on
the side of the road is about to explode.
Sound a little too familiar? Between the wild things
Mother Nature is throwing at us (monster tsunamis,
mile-wide tornados) and public violence like the
Newtown school shooting, it might feel like the worlds
gone crazy. Whats more likely is that our hectic modern
worldwith the influx of social media and a 24-hour
news cycleamplifies dramatic events and saturates us
with more worries than were programmed to handle.
During the Boston Marathon bombing aftermath, 63
percent of Americans followed the story very closely
online or on televisionamong the highest level of interest in any news story in the past decade, according to a
Pew Research Center survey. Bystanders live-tweeted
from the scene, armchair investigators posted theories on
Reddit, and rumors circulated on Facebook. Perhaps as a
result of our information overload, the Pew study found,
75 percent of us now expect occasional acts of terrorism to
be a part of life in the future, up 11 percent from the year
before. Were living in a constant state of fear.
All of this worry is contagious. When psychologists
work with groups, they notice that everyones combined
emotionswhat they call the group moodhas more of
an impact on individual actions than any one persons
emotional state. We call this a herd mentality, says
clinical psychologist Stephanie Newman, PhD, author of
Mad Men on the Couch. If youve ever been part of a
group receiving bad newsan office receiving word of
layoffs or a coastal town preparing for a hurricane
youve probably noticed how panic mounts and it feels
like those emotions are taking on a life of their own.

WHY ITS WORSE FOR WOMEN

Women may be especially prone to catching and passing
on an emotional contagion. When women are exposed to
disturbing news stories, their stress levels rise more
than mens doso much so that the anxiety carries over
and the next tough situation becomes even more worrymaking, according to a new study from the Centre for
Studies on Human Stress, in Montreal. Researchers
measured levels of cortisolthe fight-or-flight hormone
that causes those jittery, heart-racing feelingsbefore
and after men and women read newspaper articles that
were either neutral or filled with negative reports of
crime and economic troubles. Then they put all the
subjects into the stressful situation of a simulated job
interview. The women experienced spikes in cortisol,
while the male subjects reactions were more mild.
Its not just headlines that can set us off. Its easy to
see how some women end up on anxiety overload
because we tend to have our finger on the pulse of whats
going on in our surroundings, says Tamar Chansky,
PhD, author of Freeing Yourself From Anxiety. Being
empathetic and people-oriented are great strengths
but women with those qualities are also more
susceptible to all this secondhand stress. This may
be one reason why women are twice as likely to be
diagnosed with an anxiety disorder as men are. Women
are often the emotional hub, with partners, parents,
siblings, friends, coworkers all representing spokes,
Chansky says. If these folks are stressed and youre the
caretaker type, then youre going to take on all their
troubles as well.
When friends tell Vorobyev about their guy troubles
or work pressures, she feels her own blood pressure
rising. Its very hard for me to hear about a friends
problem without getting anxious and restless about
their issue, she says. When my best friend broke up
with her boyfriend last year, I almost crashed my car
because I was crying so hard. Vorobyev finds herself
losing sleep and struggling to stay focused on her
schoolwork. Ill have to read things five times before
I understand what the textbook is saying, she says.
This snowball effect of anxiety is part of why
we find it so difficult to manage. If youre filled
with anxiety, youll turn to a friend for helpbut you
may unwittingly find yourself pulled into her emotional
drama even as youre attempting to master your
own emotions, Newman says. This is why a girls
night can go from cathartic heart-to-heart to all-out
downer. When people are overwhelmed by
extreme emotions, says Newman,
research shows that they often
unconsciously seek to help themselves by
passing the buck to someone else with
whom they are emotionally connected.

Unbeatable Protection
Despite its bad rap, a little bit of

worry may actually be good for you.
Scientists at SUNY Downstate
Medical Center in Brooklyn have
even found that high levels of worry
correlate with higher levels of intelligence. The researchers believe that
our tendency to worry evolved alongside intelligence as a beneficial trait
that helped our species survive. The
key is to avoid chronic anxiety: Our
fight-or-flight response was handy
when stress came in occasional,
intense bursts (like being chased by
a woolly mammoth), but with prolonged stress, our nervous systems
never get the chance to relax when
the coast is clear.
The body stays in alarm mode
because its more efficient, says
Chansky. So we perpetually feel like
weve just had a jolt of espresso and
were moving faster than we can
think. This is incredibly debilitating
in the long-term. Left untreated, all
this free-floating anxiety can take a
toll on your heart and your skin
(thats why they call them worry
lines) and lead to substance abuse
and addiction.
When youre dealing with
someone whose stress you know
youre likely to absorb, Chansky
suggests mentally repeating this
mantra: This is not my problem; this
does not belong to me. And set time
limits on how long youll let your

friends vent. It wont work to try to
convince them its not a problem, but
you can point out the real source of
their stress, adds Chansky. Say,
Isnt it amazing how hard worry can
hit you when youre down? Find
ways to separate what youre
personally worried about from
anxiety youve absorbed. Tracking
your worries in a journal can help
pinpoint the causes.
But maybe the single most
important thing you can do to avoid
catching anxiety, the experts agree,
is schedule some time to unplug. At
least an hour before bed, turn off your
computer, smartphone, and
television. Designate certain times
for checking messages, Newman
says. Put your phone on silent the
rest of the time. And consider how
you consume news. If youre the
anxious type, you might be better off
reading the newspaper than
watching the news, because you have
more control over what you see, says
psychotherapist Tina B. Tessina,
PhD, author of It Ends With You: Grow
Up and Out of Dysfunction.
For Vorobyev, meditation and yoga
have helped ease her anxiety. And
whenever things are going well, I try
to be aware of it and just say thank
you into the air, she says. It sounds
silly, but gratitude has become a big
part of my lifeand it makes a world
of difference.
MORE WAYS TO
STOP A STRESS SPIRAL
1. Create a worry-free zone.

Whether its a meditation room,
nook, or just a comfy chair,
pick a space to use only for
relaxation that is completely
unplugged from distractions.
Your brain may even come to
associate this space with calm.
3. Take charge of the situation.

If, say, hearing about someone
elses skin-cancer scare has
you obsessing over every mole,
make an appointment for a skin
check. It can sometimes be
scary to take action, but it puts
you in the drivers seat.
2. Sweat it out. Exercise of any

kind is great for keeping anxiety
in checkand once a week, try
to fit in yoga, tai chi, or another
kind of workout that promotes
mind-body awareness.
4. Accept what you cant change.

Part of managing anxiety is
ceding control. Think of your
brain as a GPS you can reset
when you feel it being detoured
by stuff like news or weather.

Q What does dry mean?

A When most people say that a wine
is dry, what theyre saying is that its
tannic, says Andr Hueston Mack, a
sommelier and winemaker. Tannins
are a natural compound in wine that
sucks the moisture out of your mouth.
(Think strong black teathats tannic
too.) In terms of taste, though, a dry
wine just means that its not sweet.
Q How long does wine

keep once you open it?
A As a general rule, wine is good for
two to three days once opened. (After
five days, just toss it!) You can tell its
gone bad because it loses pop and zing,
Mack says. To maximize the life span,
recork the bottle and put it in the fridge.
When youre ready for more, bring the
wine back to the preferred temperature
(even whites lose flavor when
wh too cold).

When he offers you a taste,

No? Okay, perfect.
Give the glass a quick swirl

EXCERPTED FROM AFTERBURN,
BY SYLVIA DAY
232
The walk up to the reception

seemed to take a very long time.
It was a tough pill to swallow,
realizing that my ex-boyfriend, Jax,
still affected me so strongly. Hed
been part of my life for only five short
weeks two years before. Id slept with
two other men since him and
thought Id moved on.
He was studying a display of our
best-selling cookbooks when I
rounded the corner. His expertly
tailored suit showed off his tall,
powerful frame. Id never seen him
dressed so formally. Wed met at a

bar, of all places. Id gone out with
some classmates, and he was
attending a bachelor party.
I shouldve known it wouldnt
turn out well.
But god, he was magnificent. His
dark hair was close-cropped on the
sides and in the back, slightly longer
on the top. His eyes were a brown so
dark, they were nearly black. Had I
really thought they were soft and
warm? Id been blinded by that lush,
sensual mouth and wicked dimple.

There was nothing soft about

Jackson Rutledge. He was a hard
man, cut from a ruthless cloth.
As I approached him, he looked
me over from head to toe.
Jax didnt have a type. He loved all
women. I told myself I could have
been anyone and gotten that look
from him, but I didnt believe it. My
body remembered him.
Hello, Mr. Rutledge, I greeted
him formally, because he still hadnt

moment, I continued. Ill show you

to the conference room.
As he followed me, I could feel
his gaze on my back, my ass, my legs.
It made me feel awkward.
He didnt say a word, and I was
afraid to say anything either. I felt a
terrible yearning, the almost desperate need to touch him. It was hard to
believe Id had him in my bed. Had
him inside me. How had I ever had
the courage to take on such a man?
I was relieved when we reached
the conference room, the door handle
feeling blessedly cool as I pushed
it down.
I felt his breath in my ear as he
said, How long are you going to
pretend you dont know me, Gia?
Pushing the door open, I stepped
inside, holding on to the handle so
there was no mistaking that I
wouldnt be staying.
He walked right up to me, standing face to face, a little more than a
head taller even though I wore heels.
His hands were in his pockets, his
head bowed over me. He was in my
personal space. Too intimate. Far
too familiar.
Please step back, I said quietly.
He moved but not in the way I
wanted. His right hand slid out of his
pocket and then down my arm, from
elbow to wrist. I felt his touch
through the silk of my navy blouse.
Youve changed so much, he
murmured.
Of course. Enough that you didnt
recognize me earlier.
Jesus. You think I didnt recognize you? He turned away, but that
didnt lessen his impact. The back
view was just as splendid as the front.
Id recognize you blindfolded, Gia.
I was shocked. Wed gone from
distant and impersonal to searingly
intimate in a heartbeat. What are
you doing here, Jax?
He walked to the windows and
looked out at New York. Im going
to offer Lei Yeung whatever it takes
to make her go play in someone
elses sandbox.
It wont work. This is personal.
Business should never be
personal.
Nothings personal, right?
I said, remembering how hed
just failed to show up one day.
And every day after.
WorldMags.net
Things were personal between

us, he said, his deep voice husky.
Once.
No, they werent. Not for you.
He turned abruptly, causing me
to take another cautious step back.
There are no hard feelings, then.
Good. Theres no reason not to pick
up where we left off. When Im done
with my meeting, we can head to my
hotel and get reacquainted.
Fuck you, I snapped.
His mouth curved, revealing
that delicious dimple. Oh, how that
changed him, concealing how
dangerous he was with a touch of
boyish charm. I hated that playful
little indentation as much as I
adored it.
There you are, he said, with an
unmistakable note of triumph. You
almost had me fooled into thinking
the Gia I knew was gone.
Dont toy with me, Jax. Its
beneath you.
I want you beneath me.
Id known he would say that if I
opened the door, but Id had to hear
it. I had to hear him spell it out. He
was direct when it came to sex, as
sensual and natural as an animal.
I loved it, because Id been that way
with him too.
Greedy. Insatiable. Nothing else
had ever made me feel as good.
Hello, Mr. Rutledge, Lei said,
sweeping in on her killer Jimmy
Choo slingbacks. Im going to
assume this is a pleasant surprise.
It can be. He turned his
attention to her so completely, I felt
dismissed.
Ill leave you two to it, I said,
walking out. Leis gaze caught mine,
and I understood the silent message.
Wed be talking soon.
I didnt look at Jax again, but I still
got the same message from him.

8 to 10 Points
Maybe Be a Little More Boring?
Youre a blast in a glass, but you dont feel the

need to yammer everyones ear off about
what a crazy, adventurous chick you are
thanks for that. If you have an introverted
friend, ask her about herself to get her to open
up, says Andrea Bonior, PhD, author of The
Friendship Fix. Likewise, if youre friends
with a party animal, show her the beauty of
a quiet dinner and great conversation.
It wouldnt kill you to step on the karaoke

stage and out of your comfort zone every
once in a while. Look at your more
vivacious friends as role models, Bonior
says. Tell them to give you a little nudge at
a party if they see you staring into your drink.
Also, dont take such a backseat that you
never plan anythingit can make you appear
apathetic about your friendships.
Youre the life of the partyon steroids. While

youre up for anything and have a memoirs
worth of wild experiences to share over brunch,
you dont want to veer into obnoxious territory.
So no need to post about every exciting
moment of your life or plan everyones
weekend. The key to being the fun friend, not
the crazy friend? After you tell your story or plan
your party, sit back and let others do the same.
