Could you go one whole day without telling even

Im gutted when I receive an email from a journalist telling me she was offended by
something I said in my podcast. It was about the terrorist attack in Manchester, and she
feels the way I expressed myself could be misconstrued and encourage Islamophobia.
Normally, Id switch into grovelling mode. Instead, I construct a reply in which I thank
her for her honesty, and explain why I said what I did. She thanks me for my message,
recognising one of my points as valid. The exchange is more confrontational than my
usual tone, but what felt like a risk actually paid off with her response. I go to bed with
a clear conscience, rather than a mind overrun with paranoia (in which I imagine her

Krystyna Two weeks before Stephen and I started dating, he broke
up with a famous porn star named Stoya, who was lusted after by
men WORLDWIDE. I put her on a massive pedestal and felt insecure
in comparison. While I can make fart noises with my arm, Stoya
makes a living from being a BDSM goddess. After four years of
comparing myself with her, I decided to interview her for the
podcast, hoping to finally bulldoze that pedestal. She was kind,
and talked about the social stigma around her job. And thats when
it clicked we girls are constantly scrutinised for our appearance,
and its easy to believe that sex appeal is everything. But comparing
ourselves with anyone only leads to x 10. We deserve better.
Corinne You said it. Two of my worst sexual partners were the
best-looking people Ive ever slept with. With one guy, I was so
entranced by his looks that I blamed the rubbish sex on my nerves.
One hit me up again a few months later, and turns out he was just
selfish in bed it was all about him. Guys often ask us on the
podcast if a small penis is a deal-breaker. Of course its not, but
a lack of skills is, whether youre a guy or a girl. Your face might be
the CV that bags you the job, but youve still gotta show up for work.

The former Gossip Girl has grown up into something much
more interesting: a real, messy, opinionated woman
by ALEX MORRIS
B
lake Lively is mid-sentence in the dining room of a chic Vancouver
hotel when her hand darts inside her shirt. Why is my bra so lumpy?
she asks, rummaging around. Ah, theres a big fold. Im going to
unfold it. She grins at me. Im gonna look like Im feeling myself up.
Turns out the lumpy bra was for a good cause: Blake had
breast-fed her baby girl, Inez, before she got here. Sitting in her frayed blue
jeans and noshing on ceviche, she looks exactly like the laid-back LA golden
girl we rst came to love in The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants and Gossip
Girl. But the decade that has since passed has been transformative for the
actress, who turns 30 this month. She married her Green Lantern co-star
Ryan Reynolds, with whom she now has two daughters Inez, who turns
one in September, and James, two. Professionally, she graduated into more
complex roles, such as a drug-addled single mum in Ben Afecks The Town,
a 1930s divorcee in Woody Allens Caf Society, and a blind woman who sees
her marriage diferently once she regains her sight in All I See Is You, coming
soon. Now shes making her next big career move: producing The Husbands
Secret, an upcoming movie based on a book by Liane Moriarty, the author
of Big Little Lies. Blake will also star in the lm, but as executive producer
shell have more creative control, a bigger nancial stake, and the ability to plan her schedule around
her family. Its a savvy move, and one that could earn her a new kind of cred in an industry where
women are learning the power of telling their own stories.
Blake sounds a decade wiser, too. She talks about sexist stage direction in scripts and how the
Presidential election awakened her, and shes deeply educated on issues of child exploitation.
Blake Lively might still have Serena van der Woodsens glorious hair, but shes developed the kind
of thoughtful feminist attitude that comes only with experience. Bra in check, we discussed it all.
Weve joked B: Im more conscious of language, too: I was reading a script, and
this woman, whos very tough, did something where she took control
of her life. And so shes sitting, gripping the wheel, a look of
that my daughter empowerment on her face. And I thought, Hmm, they dont point
that out about men: Look how empowered he is. Its just innate.
is bossy. But my G: Youd have to point out if he werent empowered.
B: Exactly. But with my husband, Im lucky to have someone who
husband said, is so conscious. My husband was like, Why do I always say he?
And I said, Thats what were taught. So hell pick up, like
I dont want a caterpillar, and instead of saying, Whats his name? hell say,
Whats her name? Or weve joked that my daughter is bossy. But
to use that word again. my husband said, I dont ever want to use that word again. Youve
never heard a man called bossy.
Youve never heard G: That is true.
a man called bossy B: There would never be any negative connotation for a man being
a boss, so to add a negative connotation on a woman being bossy? Its
belittling. And it doesnt encourage them to be a boss. So do I know
143
C O V E R S TA R
how to be the best parent for a daughter? No, I have no idea. All I can
do is share what Im thinking and learn from others.
G: I feel like articles always talk about this perfect life you have: perfect
body, perfect clothes, perfect husband, perfect family, perfect career. How
do you feel when you read that stuf?
B: Its nonsense. It simplies people. Not all men, but a subsection of
men, have a desire to understand and control women. To do that, you
have to paint them into this thing you can wrap your head around. But
women are complex. It also is [a reminder] that what you see in the
media is not real life. The night before an interview, I have complete
anxiety: how is this person going to spin me? So when you read, Oh,
shes got a perfect life or Her life is crumbling they pick narratives
for everyone. And the narratives stick.
G: Well, I think this interview is going well.
B: Oh, thank you! I feel that too. My husband and I are really shy
people who express ourselves best when were acting, when were hiding
as someone else. So the fact that very shy people have to share that shy
person with the world, and are sometimes hurt by it, its very weird
emotionally. Anyway, Champagne problems.
G: Well, lets talk about writing your own narratives. Ryans Tweets about your family are amazing.
[One example: My daughter gets so pumped watching Disney lms. She loves that they all have
singing, dancing and a part when the parents die.]
B: [Laughs] He may as well work for the National Enquirer. When he says my daughter, hes
never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario. Hell run them by
me sometimes just to make me laugh. But, oh, Im so in love with him when he writes that stuf.
I mean, Im in love with him most of the time, but especially with that.
G: You said most of the time? [Laughs]
B: I said most of the time, because if I say, Im so in love with him all the time, then you get
that eye-rolling, Oh, her life is so great, shes so perfect. So its, like, my defence mechanism.
G: Well, I love my husband all of the time. But I dont feel butteries and rainbows all the time.
B: But you love him all the time. Theres never a time when Im like, I dont really love you. Still,
in a sound bite? It can be eye-roll-y. I have to learn to stop being defensive.
G: How do you guys deal with conicts in your marriage?
B: In other relationships, if something came up, I would call my girlfriends, or my sister, and say,
Hey, this is what he did what should I do? Whereas with him, we were friends for two years before
we were ever dating. And I treat him like my girlfriend. Im like, Hey, this happened. It upset me.
This is how I feel. What do I do? And he does the same for me. He treats me like his best buddy.
G: Speaking of girlfriends, while lming The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, did you imagine
youd be friends with America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel a decade later?
B: Yes, and Im grateful we are still friends. Theyre three of my very best friends and role models.
Theyre so artistic, and theyre activists. Theyre wives, and most of us are mothers. Theyre
producers, directors and writers. Theyre not limited. Theyre unlimited.
G: Finally do you have any words you live by?
B: This too shall pass. Its a reminder if something is painful, it will pass. But also, if something
is beautiful, knowing that this too shall pass makes you hold on to the moment. Savour it. O

zure blue, neon pink, gold, silver
and glitter. On paper, A/W17s beauty
trends sound ber cool, sure, yet
at the same time as intimidating
as hell. But dont be afraid. Not only are these
looks surprisingly wearable, theyre also super
simple and speedy to apply. Compared to
a full-face routine, which can take a minimum
of 20 minutes, these take a mere five to swipe,
dab or paint on. And with that in mind, do let
these statements take centre stage and forgo
foundation, contouring and highlighting. Trust
us, they will pop better against fresh, bare skin,
with maybe just a hint of concealer or tinted
moisturiser to even out your complexion.

LILAC GLITTER
I didnt want any base here, to keep the look ultra-fresh and carefree, says Rebecca. But if you want
some coverage without a heavy foundation finish, use a cream concealer such as Studio Conceal
And Correct Palette 36 Mac Cosmetics and mix with moisturiser. On eyes, take your finger and
layer Pigment in Pink Pearl 16 under Glitter 3D Lavender 16 both Mac Cosmetics if needed,
use Glitter Primer 8 NYX as a base. Skip mascara, but, for more intensity, add black pencil in the
waterline. On nails: LOxygn Pink Sand 17 Nailberry. (Glitter all over the hands optional.)
NEON PINK
It certainly takes guts to wear
fuchsia pink anywhere other than
on the lips. But if youre going to go
for it, then really go for it and play
up the colour-blocking by applying
Cream Shadow in Pink 3.50
Stargazer with your fingers,
smearing it over brows and upper
lids in a descending moon shape.
Or just, you know, be inventive
and create your own statement.
BEAUTY
GLITTER BUG
Glitter lips look fiddly but are actually super simple to create (the tricky part is drinking or eating without ingesting any).
Cover your lips with a sticky clear gloss (try Crystal Lip Gloss 16.50 Bobbi Brown) and dab your chosen glitter on top Mac
Cosmetics and NYX have endless shade options. Here, we matched up the look with the same sparkle all over the top lids.
SLUGGY
GOLD RUSH
While we got carried away
and covered beautiful Zuris
face with gold leaf (try Atlantis
Imitation Gold Leaf from
6.15), IRL we love it worn
on eyelids. Pat Vaseline on lids,
rip bits of sheet of and dab on.
Do wear mascara to make the
gold pop, advises Rebecca.
And be aware that the look will
move and evolve as you open
your eyes, so its really more
of a fun, fleeting party look.
