AND TALK ABOUT THIS MONTH

Vicious
2. IF LOOKS COULD KILL
Meet the ultimate girl-power

revenge fantasy (also: your new
fave must-binge-watch show).
Sweet/Vicious, premiering on MTV
this month, follows two unlikely
friends hell-bent on taking justice
(for sexual assaults on their college
campus) into their own hands.
7. WORLDS GREATEST
You watched gymnast Simone Biles kick

serious Olympic ass this summer (were
talking four gold medals). Now, get to
know the girl behind those flips in her
new memoir, Courage to Soar: A Body in
Motion, A Life in Balance (Zondervan).
3. NAILED IT

Ciat Mini Mani Month. Consider it

spaceship with Chris Pratt and

I loved [Brother Vellies creative director]

Aurora James quote, I dont think you
can consider anything beautiful unless
the process behind it is also beautiful
[Who We Love]. A decisive social
statement. Every great endeavor
that resulted in greater good had beauty
to the process. James comment
is food, fuel, and fun for thought!

honda Rhimes finishes her holiday

shopping by September 1. As in done,
finito, pass the eggnog. Were talking #goals
here. Im afraid I cant say the same about
my own habits. I mean, I start thinking
about holiday shopping on September 1,
because its around that time when the
magazine goes full throttle in planning the
December issue and the gift guides
peppered throughout it.
This year, we have plenty of ideas for those on your
list. Rhimes appears in @Work (Power Gifting, p. 131)
along with nine other boss ladies who share what theyre
giving, what theyre hoping to receive, and their one tip on
acing the holidays. In 101 Ideas (p. 89), there are gifts for
your artistic best friend, the kid who loves to put things
together and take them apart, and the peripatetic sibling
who Instagrams from faraway locales. What Erin Loves
(p. 64) features gifts for the men in your life. The tech guide
(Future Perfect, p. 134) is for those obsessed with the new
OK, NOW
TALK TO ME!
and next, and the @Play guide (Treat. Yo. Self., p. 142)
is for those who would rather unplug (think: hipster tarot
cards). And, best of all, we have a guide for someone you
might not always think of during the sheer mania of the
season: YOU. Consider the Luxe List (p. 71) the SpoilYourself-Because-You-Earned-It List.
Now that youve checked off that to-do task, kick back
and cheer your organizational prowess with the entertaining
guide Toast the Season (p. 212), in which an all-women
crew of chefs, mixologists, and event planners helps raise
your holiday party game. Because mastering the season calls
for its own celebration.

@24mao
Di Battista, who was born in Milan and lives

in London, had nothing but positive things to
say about the seabound cover shoot with
Jennifer Aniston (The Swell Life, p. 192): We
were sailing on a beautiful, 103-foot boat. I
wanted to capture moments of Jennifers inner
beauty and elegance. Its always a pleasure to
create a story together; she has such a positive
energy. FAVORITE ACCESSORY: Sunglasses.
FAVORITE GADGET: Video projector.

While reporting on microdosing for Hacking

Your Brain (p. 206), the Brooklyn-based
writer delved into the history of psychedelics
research: I was sort of shocked at the quick
and reactionary way the government shut
it down back in the 60s. Im glad to see
theres some movement to do actual research
again. SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH:
Martha Stewart. STYLE ICON: Faye
Dunaway in Network.
The Toronto-based photographer, who recently

shot the album art for Drakes Views, wouldnt
quite give the shirt off her back for the
Hidden Figures stars, featured in The New
Superheroes (p. 210): Taraji [P. Henson]
said she liked the skull onesie I was wearing,
and Octavia [Spencer] suggested I give it to
her! I told her I would order her one off eBay.

The L.A.-based stylist headed to open waters

to style this months cover shoot (The Swell

choppy, so changing outfits in the cabin was an
interesting challenge. PERSONAL STYLE
IN ONE WORD: Black. FAVORITE
VACATION DESTINATION: Driving north
up the Pacific Coast Highway in California.
In addition to her beat of editing @Play, Ortiz

wrote about the stars of the upcoming movie

AGE: 47. OCCUPATION: Actress, producer. HOMETOWN AND

CURRENT RESIDENCE: Los Angeles. CASUAL COOL: Aniston
arrived wearing a black leather jacket, a Petit Bateau white tank,
Nili Lotan pants, and Gucci loafers. TO HULL AND BACK: The
shoot took place on a sailboat in the Pacific Ocean; the actress was
photographed on the deck, while the cabin below was converted into
a wardrobe room, where she swapped outfits among old boating
equipment. GOOD TASTE: Aniston opted for a home-packed lunch
of power greens. SEALS OF APPROVAL: A mother seal and
her pup played alongside the boat, entertaining Aniston and the crew.
WHATS UP, DOCK? Afterward, the actress disembarked and
headed out to meet friends for dinner. Sara Holzman

HAIR: Since we were on a boat, we had to battle the elements,

hairstylist Chris McMillan says of creating Anistons windblown
style. He kept things simple by blowdrying her locks, lifting up
at the roots with his fingers, and mixing in hair oil and texturizing cream for a piece-y, strands-in-her-face effect. There was
no hair-commercial-looking hair, he says. She just looked real.
MAKEUP: Anistons friend and makeup artist Charlotte
Tilbury went for a beachy-glam vibe with an emphasis on
bringing out the actresss blue eyes. I always think of her as the
ultimate golden goddess, Tilbury says. She started with a
primer so Aniston appeared lit from within, then brushed on a
foundation a few shades darker than her skin tone to warm up
her complexion: I wanted to mimic how a sunset would look
on her skin, she says. To define the eyes, Tilbury applied a
combination of beige and brown shadows to the lids along with
a brick-red shade on the upper and lower lashlines for a smoky
finish. MANICURE: Manicurist Miwa Kobayashi filed nails
into a short, rounded shape, then painted on a wintry-pink
polish with a subtle gloss that paired perfectly with Anistons
bronzed skin and easy, California-chic clothes. Heather Furlow

In Africa, an elephant is killed every 15 minutes for its ivory

tusksthats nearly 35,000 annually. In fact, at the current rate,
the animal could vanish from the African wild within a generation.
To help put a stop to the international poaching trade, Tiffany & Co.
is taking action. Partnering with the Elephant Crisis Fund, the jeweler is raising awareness through #KnotOnMyPlanet, a social media
campaign that counts Karlie Kloss, Robin Wright, and Leonardo
DiCaprio among its outspoken advocates. To support the cause, the
brand is also donating for auction an elephant clipmodeled after
a piece from its archivesfrom its 2016 Masterpieces Collection.
Tiffany & Co. has found inspiration in nature, says Anisa Kamadoli
Costa, the companys chief sustainability officer. From the precious
materials that give life and form to our jewelry to the creatures we
celebrate in our designs, we believe we have a moral imperative
to help sustain the natural environment. The brooch is a whimsical paillionn enamel and 18-karat-gold piece with pav-diamond
ears and an emerald-accented gold trunk. I love the regality of the
elephant as a fashion icon! says model and #KnotOnMyPlanet supporter Doutzen Kroes. We cant forget that the world knew very
little about the ivory trade in 1967 when the original brooch was
created. Elephants were legally killed for their tusks, so I find it an
amazing reminder of where we have moved almost 50 years later.
Heres to Tiffany & Co. starting a stampede. Hilary Elkins

LUXE
Tis the seasonas they say. But for what, exactly? We all have different traditions during the
holidays. To some, this time of year is for cozying up with family; for others, its a chance to plan
an epic getaway. Maybe it has the air of a grand finale, bidding the year good-bye wearing sparkly
dresses in a shower of confetti. Or perhaps its a quiet moment to reflect on new beginnings. For
all of us, its a season for giving. And sometimes, in thinking of others now and throughout the
year, we forget to give to ourselves. No more! Youve worked hard, and you deserve to splurge, so
weve assembled an ultra-luxe, dream-big cabinet of curiosities that includes beautiful objects,
chic accessories, and out-of-the-box experiences.
Our hope is that it will inspire you to treat
and celebrateyourself. Thats a tradition we
can all look forward to.

As usual, you saw that coming.

There are a lot of things that are easy to see coming, like man buns and homemade kombucha
going out of style, but some things are a little harder to detect. Like that pedestrian
unexpectedly jaywalking. Thats why Toyota Safety Sense P,1 including a Pre-Collision
System2 with Pedestrian Detection,3 comes standard on the new 2017 Corolla.
Toyota Safety Sense Standard
Prototype shown with options. Production model may vary. 1. Drivers should always be responsible for their own safe driving. Please always pay attention to your surroundings and drive safely. Depending on the conditions of
roads, vehicles, weather, etc., the system(s) may not work as intended. See Owners Manual for details. 2. The TSS Pre-Collision System is designed to help avoid or reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions
only. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. See Owners Manual for details. 3. The Pedestrian Detection system is
designed to detect a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle, determine if impact is imminent and help reduce impact speed. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as
speed, size and position of pedestrians, driver input and weather, light and road conditions. See Owners Manual for details. 2016 Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

PLACE IN THE SUN
Capri was one of my grandfathers favorite places.

Our family has gone there every summer since I
was a child. We rent a boat and then cruise
around the Amalfi Coast. Most hotels in Capri are
wonderful because the people there are very
welcoming, but the two I like best are the Grand
Hotel Quisisana and J.K. Palace. Every time I leave,
I miss the scent of the lemon trees.

BACK TO
THE FUTURE
When I think about history, says Elie Top, my brain fills with images.
Creatively, if you dont know what was going on in the past, its very
difficult to go into the future. The Paris-based jewelerwho has spent
the past 15 years crafting whimsical pieces as Lanvins jewelry designer
rolled out his first solo line last year, full of futuristic rings topped with
18-karat-gold celestial spheres. His latest offering, Etoile Mystrieuse,
bears the feel of a shadow, one cast by torches lining the walls of a castle
inhabited by the collections central inspiration: Doa Ana de Mendoza,
the 16th-century Spanish aristocrat known as the Princess of Eboli.
The princess was a rebel whose ever-present eye patch (the result of a
fencing mishap, lore has it) made her a style icon. The 10-piece range,
anchored with black onyx, riffs on that edgy femininity: A cuff bracelet
calls to mind the gauntlet of a coat of armor, an octagonal pendant
channels a shield for the heart, and triangle drop earrings are muted
swords, like those the princess brandished in play and battle. Designed
for a woman both passionate and obsessive, says Top, its no wonder
we cant get enough. Hilary Elkins

150-year-old

Nestled on an unassuming cobblestoned street behind Venices St. Marks Square

lies one of the worlds most sought-after jewelers: Casa Codognato. The tiny boutique has sat in the same spot for 150 years, since founder Simeone Codognato
opened its doors in 1866. From Coco Chanel (who wore a jade Codognato necklace)
to Elizabeth Taylor (whose husband Richard Burton had the shop deliver gifts to
her at the nearby Gritti Palace hotel), the worlds most glamorous celebrities have
long coveted the designers Etruscan-influenced creations. But in recent decades,
its Simeones great-grandson Attilio who has earned Codognato a cult following.
After taking over in 1958, the now 78-year-old began crafting snake- and skullemblazoned pieces in unique metal-and-gemstone combinations inspired by a surprising subject: death. But his memento mori designs are far from morbid. Its the
idea that were all similar in the enddeath is an equalizer, explains Codognato.
In that spirit, the ebony brooches and enamel-and-diamond rings are a quirky
reminder that, because death is inevitable, its important to enjoy life. Should you
wish to visit the shop during yours, be warned: The discerning designer has been
known to turn away those who dont fully appreciate the craft. I like selling to
friends and people who understand the meaning of my pieces, he says. In other
words, those who truly feel theyre to die for. Carolina ONeill

A Harry
Winston ad
from 1973
If diamonds are a girls best friend, as Marilyn Monroe famously sang in 1953,
then you might say Harry Winston is the ultimate BFF. The New York jeweler
learned the trade early on by working alongside his father at the small jewelry
shop hed opened in New York. At age 12, he spied a two-carat emerald lying in
a junk tray at a pawn shop and, realizing the owner didnt know what he had,
bought it for 25 cents and then sold it two days later for $800. Capitalizing on
his knack for identifying valuable stones, Winston started his own business by
buying out-of-style jewelry from estate sales and refashioning it into modern
settings. He quickly earned a reputation for fearlessness, shocking the world by
breaking up enormous gems into smaller parts for sale. Despite all of Winstons
headline-making acquisitions, however, the emerald cutpopularized during
the 1920s Art Deco movement in which he came of ageremained his favorite.
It inspired the companys trademark, the shape of its Madison Avenue flagship
windows, and, now, the Logo collection of pendants, earrings, bangles, and
rings that feature the Harry Winston emblem accented by a scattering of round
diamonds. Available in white, yellow, and rose gold, the pieces are a contemporary alternative to the dramatic diamond styles typically associated with the
brandperfect plus-ones, whatever the occasion. Carolina ONeill

Van Cleef & Arpels new collection goes green
I stood in wonder before this treasure, this profusion of precious stones, Pierre
Arpels said in Tehran in 1967 of inspecting hundreds of gems for the crown hed been
commissioned to design for Iranian Empress Farah Pahlavi. In the end, he gravitated to emeralds143 of them, to be exact. A favorite of royalty, the green stone is
known as the gem of kings, but for Arpels brothers Pierre, Claude, and Jacques, the
bond was more personal. Emeralds have long played a starring role in many of Van
Cleef & Arpels most famed creations, from a drop choker purchased by Princess
Fawzia of Egypt in 1929 to the many pieces gifted to Wallis Simpson by Prince Edward
during their courtship. To source the jewels, Claude Arpels traveled to far-flung locales
including China, Cambodia, and Thailand, but one place in particular proved especially fruitful: India. (A frequent visitor to the maharajas courts in search of rare
stones from their private collections, he earned the nickname Diamond King of
Bombay.) Now, to continue what the house calls its emerald saga, it debuts 46
one-of-a-kind high-jewelry piecesdubbed meraud en Majestfeaturing
more than 1,400 carats of the gem collected over the past 10 years. Each
design is crafted to complement the particular cut: Pear and marquise
shapes blossom like foliage, while octagonal and cushion styles ripple
like delicate ribbonsall a fitting tribute to Claude Arpels belief that
every stone has a soul of its own. Carolina ONeill

DAYS
Even during New York Fashion

Week, the show-hopping, partygoing, runway-hosting style star
is never too busy to give back
Frame denims dinner, held at an iconic NYC eatery every

year, is quickly becoming one of NYFWs hottest invites.
This season, guests hit The Waverly Inn, where Frame personalized everything, from oversize jackets on the backs of
our chairs to even the napkins on the table! I gossiped the
night away with Emily Ratajkowski and Joan Smalls on one
side, and Jenna Lyons on the other.
My last stop was at Brandon Maxwell s show at the
Russian Tea Room. His best friendthat would be Lady
Gaga!and I chatted about his impeccable design and styling skills and how empowered his clothing makes women
feel. (See the complete interview at E! Online.)

charity fashion show at The Mall at Millenia to benefit pediatric cancer. The charitys cofounders, Mark and Josie NeJame,
have raised over $5.4 million in six years. It was a stunning
brunch with heartwarming speeches and fab fashion.
The month ended with interviewing duties on the red
carpet at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park. While
I love what I do day-to-day, giving back makes such a hectic
workweek all the more worthwhile. @zannarassi

he first day of New York Fashion Week fell on

my daughters first day of pre-K, and I embarrassingly ran into the school with pink hair,
fully made-up for a day on camera. Once I got
them settled in, it was off to the races. There
was the tour of the renovated Cartier Mansion,
where I tried on a foot-long diamond snake
for E! News that had more bling on it than Ive ever seen in
my life. Then, at Jimmy Choos 20th-anniversary party at a
downtown warehouse packed with models in vertiginous
heels, I rolled up in sneakersmajor faux pas. Theres underdressed, and then theres under-heeled! At the event, Amber
Valletta told me her secret to dancing in heels is practicing
naked with a glass of champagne. Noted!
The next day, I moderated a press conference with
Tommy Hilfiger and Gigi Hadid on their collaboration.
Their fashion show was a carnival featuring a 40-foot Ferris
wheel and Taylor Swift. Everything was interactive, shoppable, and shareablea glimpse into the future. Walking
out together after we wrapped, I got a look at Gigis life in
front of the paparazzi, who hollered, pushed, and chased her
to get a shot. I have a newfound respect for every composed
image of her, as I saw firsthand just how graceful she is
in those tough situations.

Project Runway season 14 winner Ashley Nell Tipton dishes on ironic holiday
traditions, meaningful gifts, and her new party-ready pieces for JCPenney
I would definitely have to prepare someone coming home with me for

the holidays for what they were about to walk into, says Ashley Nell
Tipton. My family is very loud and outspoken! Every year, the designer
and Project Runway champion spends Christmas at a different aunts or
uncles house (she has 11), where a central theme dominates the evening.
One year, we all wore ugly Christmas sweaters; another, we did a whiteelephant gift exchange, she says. Last year, we rocked pajamas and
played charades. This season, shell be showing up in something a little
more festive: her new holiday collection for JCPenney. I wanted to
create statement pieces that easily make an outfit with things you
already have in your wardrobe, says Tipton of the sparkly sequined
tops, flirty dresses, and pleated skirts. A dusty-pink faux-fur jacket,
artfully cropped to flatter fuller figures, will be her staple for the holiday
party circuit. Ill throw on tights and ankle boots, and dress the outfit
up with some jewelry, she says. When it comes to gift giving, Tipton
suggests going DIY (shes made everything from custom paintings to athome nail kits) or adopting a personal approach (a wishbone necklace
from her sister was a good-luck charm during tough times). Go with
something symbolic that caters to a hobby or evokes a particular feeling, she says. When its something they wouldnt normally get for
themselves, it always feels special. Carolina ONeill

The Big PICTURE

GREECE
SEBASTIAN GIL MIRANDA
In teaching refugee children about photography,

Sevilay Maria van Dorst is helping them see the world in a new light By FEIFEI SUN
s a photographer, Sevilay Maria

van Dorst relies on images from
around the world to stay on top of
news events. But earlier this year,
she found that despite all of the
harrowing images coming out of
the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe,
she didnt feel like she had a solid
grasp of what was unfolding there.
I honestly wasnt sure what to
believe, van Dorst, 32, says. I thought, You know what? Im
going to see for myself whats going on.
So in early February, van Dorst packed her bags and left her
home in Amsterdam for Lesvos, Greece, an island widely viewed
as a ground zero for the crisis because of its location as a

gateway to the rest of the continent. (Roughly 30,000 migrants
arrived there in February alone.) She made her way to the
Moria refugee camp, which at the time was home to about 4,000
refugees, where the severity of the crisis was palpable. In an
instant, I knew things were worse than I ever expected, she
says. You see their fear and a complete lack of understanding
for whats going to happen. Theyve been going from smuggler to
smuggler, treated like animals and just another number. But
when I looked into their eyes, I realized they had names,
families, hopes, and dreams. I thought, Oh, my God, you are not
from a different world. You are me, and I am you.
Moved to help them in any way she could, van Dorst began
teaching English to some of the children through the camps
NEWSFEED
chain-link fence, using flip cards. (She hadnt
obtained permission to work inside the camp.)
She had a handful of students on the first day;
more than 70 people, including adults, showed
up on the second. Eventually, the English
classes evolved into photography lessons. Im a
photographer and an artist, so I always look for
solutions through art, says van Dorst. Soon,
shed met two other photographers, Oliver
Zimmermann and Sebastian Gil Miranda,
whod also traveled to Lesvos to witness the
crisis for themselves. Together, along with a
translator, Amir Asadi, who had recently come
to Greece as a refugee from Iran, they founded
Inside Light, a project to teach young refugees
photography as a way of boosting their morale.
Over the next seven months, the Inside
Light team passed disposable cameras
under the fence and told the students, ages
9 to 16, to take photos of beautiful things.
They see this place in a very negative way, but
when we ask them to look for special things,
they begin to see their environment differently, van Dorst explains. You start to
stimulate positive thinking instead of, Oh, this
is so bad. After the kids finished shooting, the
photographers developed their images at a
local shop and returned to talk with them
about their favorite snaps, while offering basic
Van Dorst teaches

families English
through the fence
at Moria refugee
camp, May 2016
tips on composition, lighting, and other

techniques. In return, the children shared
stories about their lives back home. It is
remarkable to me how these refugees dont
have anything, but still want to give you
something, to teach you something about
themselves or their countries, van Dorst says.
So far, Inside Light has worked with more than
50 kids; it plans to expand to other refugee
camps in Greece and elsewhere next year, and
WHEN I LOOKED INTO THEIR EYES, I

REALIZED THEY HAD NAMES, FAMILIES,
HOPES, AND DREAMS.Sevilay Maria van Dorst, cofounder, Inside Light
has launched a fundraising campaign.

What the children choose to photograph
sometimes surprises van Dorst. Once, a
young boy whose father had left his family
years ago was so excited about a picture he
had taken that he pressed it to his chest for
several minutes. When he finally put it down,
van Dorst realized he had taken a selfie. Was
this a mistake? she asked. No, he replied.
Its not a mistakeIm beautiful. The
response left van Dorst speechless: To know
that hed felt so unlikable because his father
left and to then see him call himself beautiful
told me Id done my job.

UNITED STATES
OFF COLOR
Blaze pink
clothing, like this
waterproof jacket
from Legendary
Whitetails, can now
be worn by hunters
in four states
A new blaze pink dress code aimed

at female hunters misses the mark
Only 11 percent of hunters in the U.S. are female. How

to recruit more women into the sport? Let them wear
pink! At least thats what lawmakers in four states think.
In February, Wisconsin legalized blaze pink clothing
for hunting (in addition to the hunter-orange dress
code normally adopted). Since then, Colorado,
Louisiana, and New York have passed similar laws.
The only problem? The pink laws have female hunters
red-faced with anger. Saying more women will
hunt because of the option to wear pink clothes is
demeaning, says Sarah Ingle, president of Wisconsins
Womens Hunting and Sporting Association.
Women dont choose to start something, especially
something as huge as harvesting your own game
for your familys meals, because of a color.

Carrie Zylka, the voice behind the first womanhosted hunting podcast, HuntFishTravel, agrees. Its
all from the guys standpoint, she tells MC. I wish they
would have had more input from women. She calls
the measure worthless as a recruiting tool and
suggests that lawmakers could instead create
mentorship programs for young women in the sport. If
anything, Ingle says, the laws may make women feel
less welcome. I wear makeup when I hunt, I paint my
nails, she explains. Men already bash us for that. We
dont need pink to make us stand out more. In other
words, she says, in passing the new laws, legislators
have misfired. Kristen Schmitt

SWIPING OUT HUNGER
ON C A MPUS
Her inspiration: As a UCLA
student in 2009, Rachel
Sumekh found herself with
extra meal swipes on her
dining plan. Rather than letting them go to waste, she
and some friends bought a
few dozen meals and handed
them out to the homeless
near campus. Soon after,
they set up a table to enlist
other students, handing out
300 meals in the first week.
Her idea: In 2010, Sumekh
and cofounder Bryan
Pezeshki established Swipe
Out Hunger to take the idea
to colleges nationwide.
Six years later, the L.A.based nonprofit is shifting
its focus to hunger on
campus, where one in seven

Hind Wajih Othman is smashing

stereotypes with sheer muscle.
The 33-year-old Cairo native has
become the first woman certified
as an official bodyguard by the
countrys Ministry of Interior,
meaning she can now protect
politicians, foreign officials, and
other VIPs. She received the
certification in July after completing an intensive course where she
learned how to use a firearm,
tackle an assailant, and disarm
explosives. It was grueling,

Othman says, but I succeeded
because I am strong and fit.
Othman was already a rarity in
Egypt, which ranks 136 out of 145
in the World Economic Forums
2015 report on the global gender
gap. She took up martial arts at
age 14, studied sports physical
therapy in college, and became
the countrys first female fitness
coach for a local soccer team.
But despite Othmans track
record, she applied several times
before she was accepted into the
bodyguard program. Theres a
belief in Egypt that doing such
tough physical work ruins your
female hormones and makes you
less of a woman, she says.
Eventually, they let me in when
they realized I wouldnt give up.

Othman is waiting for her first

hours in the gym every day to

produces self-defense videos to
teach women how to fend off
attackers. As women, she says,
we have to be able to protect
ourselves before we can protect
anyone else. Abigail Haworth

Afghanistans first programming school for women

celebrates its first graduating class
Fereshteh Forough has a
masters degree in computer
science, but when she tried to
get a job in her hometown of
Herat, Afghanistan, companies refused to hire her.
Everyone was like, Oh, we
dont think women can do
this work, Forough says.
Fereshteh
She decided to prove that
Forough
women can. In the fall of
2015, Forough opened Code to Inspire, the countrys
first all-female programming school. She selected
her inaugural class of 50 women, ages 14 to 25,
from more than 150 applicants; to encourage
participation, she offers the one-year program free
of charge. (Its funded through donations and
grants, including one from Google.) The more
inexperienced students learn front-end Web skills
like WordPress, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, while
those with computer-science backgrounds learn
how to build mobile apps. The girls are not as
intimidated as they would be in a male-dominated
classroom, so they pick it up fast, says Forough, 29.

Student Hasina Haidari, 20, enrolled to improve
her coding skills so that she may one day use them to
help solve societal problems. I want to prove to the
world that Afghan girls arent afraid of the obstacles
in our way, she says. We can be the best creators and
the most powerful programmers. Haidari and all 49
of her classmates graduate this month. Jayme Moye

I grew up in Somerset in southwest England. We
owned a shitload of chickens, so we had fresh eggs.
All the vegetables were delivered from a farm. And
the meat we ate was always free-range. My moms
cooking was all about comfort, flavor, and plenty of
butter. It was so hearty. In fact, growing up, I used
to worry when I went to a friends house to eat that
the portions would be too small. MASTERCHEF
JUNIOR When I was like 10, I cooked a three-course
meal for my family. (Did I mention I have six siblings?)
I made our secret recipe for spaghetti Bolognese.
CAN T STOP WON T STOP I had allergy tests a few
years ago, and they told me I was intolerant to dairy.
I tried cutting it out and then was like, Ugh, life is too
short. ON THE MENU I was born in Tokyo and lived
in Japan for a couple of years and am obsessed with
soba and natto (fermented soybean). I could eat that
with raw egg, rice, and soy sauce every single day.
CALIFORNIA LOVE People dont really cook very
much in L.A.they eat out. Im so into this place in

RIZ AHMED: Theyre thrown together by circumstance. In the Star Wars

great, even if theyre unaware of it.
MC: The Star Wars universe seems like a huge, scary placeitd be way easier to
bury your head and hide from trouble. What do you think drives the good guys?

Actually, many of them are quite actively running away from that. Theyve
got their heads in the sand. Certainly Bodhi is one whos just kind of thinking,
You know what? Im just a small piece of this puzzle. I cant make a big impact.

place where you can hide some alcohol that no one else knows
about. RULE NO. 2: Never be afraid to ask for help. Pretend
youre either Mary Poppins or Julie Andrews in The Sound of
Music, and clap your hands and say, Were going to play a
delightful game! Its called making 27 beds up. RULE NO. 3:
And, of course, buy the book. There is something in there for
everybody, and its certainly my best way of surviving the holidaysif I earn
enough money from this to hire somebody to come in and industrially clean my
house afterward, then arent we all a bit better off? OH, AND WHAT EXACTLY IS

JAMES FREY, BRIGHT SHINY MORNING @ AMAZONKINDLE
POINT of
VIEW
most blatant sexual gesture, yet my face
was completely nonplussed. The audience
broke out in uproarious laughter. I remember the feeling perfectly, as if its frozen in
time, a rush of elation that rippled through
my bodywhat I imagine its like to walk
on the moon, win an Olympic gold medal,
have a real orgasm. It was better than being
crowned prom queen.
From that night forward, I chose funny
over pretty. In fact, I lost interest in trying to
compete in the gorgeousness arena. Dont get
me wrong, I didnt become The Revenant; I
still exfoliated and used kelp shampoo. I just
didnt put all my chips down on pretty.
My first love was a 17-year-old, Harvardbound James Spader (circa Pretty in Pink)
look-alike. I was a slightly overweight teenager
with thin hair and no fashion sense. (Unless
you think Laura Ashley flannel turtleneck
dresses with kneesocks and clogs is chic.) To
spare you the banal details of our courtship:
I got the guy. Not so much because I told the
joke, but because I got the joke. I could make
him laugh by the simple observations of our
daily adolescent life. Oh, and I could act out
all parts from Jesus Christ Superstar!
As I entered my 20s, I honed my comedic
skills. I had a friend who was completely fixated with the exterior. She would use a safety
pin to separate each lash after she applied
mascara, ate celery by the bushel, and spent
Friday nights watching TV in a face mask. As
much as I was in awe of her laborious beauty
routines, I knew it was ultimately vacuous.
Not because a large percentage of her life
was consumed with whether she had a blemish, but because no other facet of herself was
ever developed. Sure, she looked amazing in
a sheer bohemian dress and gladiator sandals, but when she pulled
her chair up to the table, that was all there was, and I would watch
the gazes that were initially so focused on her slowly turn away.
Whereas I was initially met with pleasantries, it was my off-color
stories that eventually attracted those gazes.
Now I am older and could use an hour a day on the treadmill.
But as I witness my friends frantically SoulCycling and injecting, I
am confident that my sense of humor will never lose its elasticity or
require human growth hormone. It will always be my strength, my
shield, my Kardashian ass. Beauty fades; a good rabbi joke never does.
And if you ask me who Id come back as in another life, either Brigitte
Bardot or Phyllis Diller? Phyllis Diller all the way, baby!
Id rather
BE FUNNY
than pretty
m not sure I would have made it through adolescence had

social media existed in my rather desperate high school
years. I body-shamed myself enough and didnt need the
hormonally engorged boys to tell me I was not f***able
enough. And the bikini shots that plaster Instagram now?
I wouldnt have stood a chance, Photoshop or not.
When I first started doing comedy, I realized it was
way better than being pretty. I experienced that doing
Christopher Durangs play The Marriage of Bette and Boo
in high school. It was meant to be a dramatic tour de force; I was
playing an introverted cellist. But in the beginning of the second
act, I spread my legs wide to make room for the cello, and it was the

you sip an off-the-menu cocktail created especially

is the season for accidentally breaking

champagne glassesnot to mention
Christmas ornamentsand also the time
for breaking some rules, bending others,
and having a little fun with your makeup.
Do something glam on your eyes, says
makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes (and, yes, that
can involve glitter). Go wild with your lips. Try a
foundation that truly makes your skin glow in the
candlelight. In short, bring on the cheer.

OPENING
CEREMONY
Glitter is
all grown-up
this season
The winged cat eye may be an enduring

classic, but it can also be hard to master.
Hughes has some tricks up her sleeve:
FIRST, Scotch tape can help. Before you
apply foundation, stick a piece on your hand
to get rid of some of the adhesive, then tape
it on at the outer corner of each eye, angled
toward your temples as dramatically as you
want. (The length of the tape matters, too
short strips give a subtle wing; longer ones
mean you want to get noticed.) Be sure the
wings are even.
NEXT, use a pencil liner to trace the top
edge of the tape in short strokes, starting
at the tapes outer end and working your
way in. The goal is to create a sketch of the
shapeit doesnt have to be perfect. Then
trace your upper lashline, connecting the
line to the wing you just created. (You can
move in any direction.)
FINALLY, go over your work with a
liquid, gel, or pen liner, again using short
strokes for control. Start at the outer
corner, then move onto the lashline.
Remove the tape, and voil!

HOLIDAY MAKEUP GUIDE
GLITTER FOR
GROWN-UPS
Shine may be awesome for your

eyes, but consider leaving it off
your lips this holiday season.
Matte lipsticks are better and
bolder than ever thanks to
moisturizing formulas that dont
feel like dried paint. And as
Hughes points out, Matte lips
are cooland they dont require
a lot of other makeup, so they
look fresh. Application is key.
The easy route? Dab the color
on with a fingertip for a matte
stain. Otherwise, You need a
level of expertise, says makeup
artist Troy Surratt. Theyre not
as carefree as sheer or cream
formulas. You have to have a
defined lip line. Use a brush
to apply color; take your time,
starting from the center
of the mouth, moving outward
to the corners, makeup artist
Daniel Martin says. Matte lipsticks dont have the same glide
as regular formulas, Surratt
warns. And because matte
lipstick absorbs light, anything
less than perfection around the
edges of your lips will make you
look like a hot mess.
Consider a touch of glitz this season: Glitter

is having a real moment, says Surratt. Weve
always thought of it as something for ballerinas or gymnasts, but it can also look like twinkling lights when worn subtly on the eyes, and
even make them look brighter and bigger. Of
course, as we all well know from that glittercoated holiday card we got last year, the stuff
can be a mess and follow you for days on your
clothes, in your hair These products help
you keep it under control:
1. SMITH & CULT Eye Quad in Soft Shock, $44. 2. YVES SAINT
LAURENT La Laque Couture in Silver Clash, $28. 3. BOBBI
BROWN Sequin Eye Shadow in Rose Gold, $36. 4. COVER FX
Custom Enhancer Drops Illuminator in Celestial, $42.
SELFIE-READY SKIN
The easiest way to make an impact in low lighting is to create a balance of light on the
face, says Surratt. Shimmer or glitter on the eyelids and highlights on the cheekbones
all done subtlygive luminosity to the skin. Bonus: One of the best things about dim
light is that you can cheat a bit, Martin says. You dont have to focus on concealing
imperfections. Of course, the trick to candlelit skin is a great foundation, highlighter,
and a few extras. Some of our favorites:

working from home, and once you see

her home, its not hard to guess why.
Up, up, up the steep, windy roads of Los
Angeles you go, through discreet, dark-green gates that open as
if by magic, and into a sumptuous modernist compound that
might best be described as The Aman That Friends Built.

For the most part, Aniston has handled her fame with
remarkable grace and good humor, but in July, she had

Huffington Post in which she socked it to the tabloids
over their endless obsession with whether shes pregnant,
reminding women everywhere that we dont need to be

to all of that.
in time to cough up my 15-year-old hair ball? Shes curled

up on a gray sofa off the kitchen, drinking iced green tea.
Theroux is out of town at the moment, shooting The
Leftovers in Melbourne, Australia. I think I finally just got
fed up, she continues. I was in a really raw place. My mom
had just passed away, and we came back from vacation and,
all of a sudden, we had paparazzi on us like crazy.
For much of her life, Aniston had a famously troubled
relationship with her mother, Nancy Dow, who wrote a
tell-all memoir about Aniston in 1999 called From Mother
and Daughter to Friends. But the pair reconciled after
Anistons divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005, and Aniston
spent the month of May caring for her dying mother in
Los Angelesan experience that she describes as extraordinary: I was literally in her hospital bed with her, giving
her morphine, cradling her like a baby. She pauses, her
eyes bright. You know, it was a tough relationship. We had
a tumultuous experience, but never did we not love each
other, and I feel that we have a deeper connection, having gone through that. It was such a beautiful full circle,
taking care of her toward the end Aniston shakes her
head. Afterward, you kind of sit back and you go, Gosh,
all of those silly fights, all of that wasted time, all of that
stubborn behavior. I learned so much about her after that
broke my heart. She just wanted to be loved, but she didnt
know how, what that looked like.
Aniston was still grieving when she and Theroux
returned from the Bahamas in July. The couple had no idea
theyd been photographed and no idea of the heyday the
tabloids were having with the pictures of Aniston in a bikini.
We were on an island, and when I tell you I never saw one
human beingI mean, it was really remote, says Aniston.
And all of a sudden, when we got to New York, we were
hounded by this ridiculous amount of paparazzi, and they
just, day after day, increased.
Eventually, she realized that there was a magazine, and
I was pregnantfor the umpteenth, bajillionth time. They
had a photograph of me with a circle around my abdomen
have been shamed. Its like, Why are we only looking at

women through this particular lens of picking us apart?
Why are we listening to it?
It was Hahn (a bridesmaid in Anistons wedding to Pitt
in 2000) who suggested that she publish the piece. Aniston
agreed on the condition that Hahn would edit it. She took
a machete to it, says Aniston, chuckling. Which was good
because the thing was like 12 pages long, and I really didnt
give a shit when I sat down to write it. I just thought: I have
worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled
down to a sad, childless human.
One
of the
funny
things about hanging out with

Aniston in
person is how remarkably unlike a sad, childless human
she seems. The woman practically glows with mirth. (In
two weeks, the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitts
divorce will hit the Internet, and Aniston will be dragged,
yet again, into the public eye as part of the worlds most
famous love triangle, with GIFs of her in various states of
gleeful vindication multiplying across the Twitterverse. But
if she has any sense of the madness thats about to descend,
youd never know it.) And while
part of this mirth is probably
due to her new marriage, a lot
of it seems due to the fact that
Aniston actually knows how to
make herself happy in life. She
meditates and does yoga regularly. She eats well. She appreciates a fine tequila. She invites
the spiritual counselor Mitra Rahbar over to give lectures
about the Chinese New Year or astrology. And perhaps most
important, she hangs out regularly with a tight-knit circle
of girlfriends, whom Aniston has basically considered her
family since she was in her 20s. I owe everything in my
life to those girls, she says.
It takes a very powerful personality to survive within
the bubble of celebrity, and Jen has one, says Hahn. She
has a healthy sense of herself; she doesnt play small in
the world, but shes also great at celebrating everybody

and an arrow pointing to it that said bump. She shakes
her head. If I can add up over the past 15 years how many
times thats happened to me I just got sick of it.
Aniston initially started writing the Op-Ed as a cathartic
meditation, but the essay quickly ballooned into a broader
exploration of the scrutiny that all women in our society
endure around our bodies and our relationship status. I
just thought, Why are women seen this way? says Aniston.
My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was
shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples

say there were a lot of breasts and maybe even some penises floating

According to Bateman, a good deal of the films joie de vivre is
due to Aniston herself. Anytime I work with Jen or hang out with
her, theres that incredible spirit of hers, and its infectious, he
says. When you do a comedy, you really want to feel safe so you
can make a fool out of yourself, and she permeates a set with so
much good spirit and ease its amazing to see what that brings
out in people.
Another worth it project for Aniston is a film about real-life

care about, and she will throw a parade like I just won an Oscar.
She hasnt lost perspective. While Hahn is reluctant to talk about
Aniston and Therouxs relationship, she will say, That is a house
full of laughter. When youre a comedienne at her level, it takes a lot
to make you laugh out loud, but he will actually make her laugh.
Aniston knew pretty much instantly that Theroux was the guy for
her. They became good friends on the set of the comedy Wanderlust
in 2010, and she thought, Thats the kind of guy like, thats a goal.
Where is that kind of guy, who connects to human beings so beautifully and really listens, and is so creative and present, and a problem
solver and a crisis manager and a loyal friend to the nth degree?
Theroux was in a relationship at the time, but when the couple
split up nine months later, he and Aniston reconnected. Theyve
been together ever since. Why is he the right person for me? All I
know is that I feel completely seen, says Aniston, and adored, in
no matter what state. Theres no part of me that I dont feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself,
because I care about him so much. And hes such a good person. It
hurts me to think of anything hurting him.
Both Aniston and Theroux have offices at home, and they spend
as much time there as possible, hosting movie nights and makeyour-own-pizza nights for friends like Courteney Cox (whose
12-year-old daughter, Coco Arquette, is Anistons godchild); Jason
Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka; and Lisa Kudrow. One of
the upsides of Americas ongoing fascination with Aniston is that
shes been able to expand her movie-star status into a multipronged
brand, which allows her to be very selective about the film roles she
takes. Basically, Anistons criteria
for movie roles right now is, You
have to be so madly in love with
it and think, I will be so upset if I
dont go and play this person
she says. Especially these days,
with Justin in Melbourne. It has to
be worth it.
Office Christmas Party, for
example, was an easy yes. Theyre
like my family, says Aniston of
directors Josh Gordon and Will
Speck and costar Bateman, with
whom she made The Switch in
2009. Jason and I have been
friends since we were in our 20s
he and his wife are over here every
week for dinner. And Will and I
became best friends while we were
making The Switch. As soon as they
asked me, I said, Whatever it is, I
want to do it. The film follows the hard-partying Clay (T.J. Miller),
whowhen his buzzkill CEO sister (Aniston) threatens to shut down
the tech company branch he managesdecides to host an epic office
Christmas party in an effort to impress a potential client and save
everyones jobs.
In other words, its just a big, fat laugh, says Aniston, which is
so nice after all these superheroes and sequels. Its fun to throw in a
little popcorn comedy. Especially when that comedy features dueling Christmas trees on fire and what may be the highest number of
employee-on-employee hookups ever captured on film. Lets just
performing in the 1940s. We just signed up Mimi Leder to direct,

which is incredibly exciting, says Aniston. So hopefully that will
happen one of these days.
Mostly, though, its about quality of life at the moment. Aniston
is open about the fact that shes still in pursuit of motherhood
and is happiest spending time with Theroux, taking the dogs for
runs and raising chickens on their three-acre property, torturing
herself at the gym, and cooking together on cheat days (He makes
great pastas and Philly cheesesteaks, or hell come up with these
crazy breakfast things where you just go, Oh, why did you do that to
me?). Maybe theyll buy a house nearby in Malibu soon. (They just
finished remodeling an apartment in New York.) Maybe shell do
another TV show.
That would be the best, says Aniston, and here, her eyes light
up. We had so much fun making Office Christmas Party together
that weve been talking about itdoing something for television.
Something fun and localwith Justin, too, of course. Its such a talented group of people, and we work so well together. You just think:
We have to find a way to do this again.
Aniston herself is uncertain about whats next, but she wears this
uncertainty with characteristic equanimity. This is a time when
Im not completely sure what Im doing, she says. Im at this sort
of crossroads trying to figure out what inspires me deep in my core.
What used to make me tick is not necessarily making me tick anymore The most challenging thing right now is trying to find what
it is that makes my heart sing.

The 60s-era psychedelics that heralded the Summer of Love
are back big-time (but in tiny doses) for
power women to reach a different kind of career high
By NOREEN MALONE
Karen Sm ith has a lo t o n her mind. The 32-year-old lives in
Chicago, where, after working for tech startups abroad for 10 years, she
moved last year with her husband to attend a graduate program in data
science. On top of her academic studies, Smith works 10 to 30 hours a
week as the data guru for a consulting firm. But late last year, what was
really bringing her down was the bleak Midwest winters. That, and shed
recently cut out her daily habit of cigarettes and marijuana, frustrated that
shed become so dependent on pot to manage her mood. She needed
something to take the edge off.
Smithwhose husband was also feeling low and looking for reliefhad
an idea, something shed run across on Reddit. After some research, her
husband bought psilocybin (psychedelic) mushrooms from a friend,
ground them up with a Cuisinart spice grinder, and separated them into
gel capsules ordered from Amazon. The dosage was precisely measured
and precisely tiny: 10 micrograms for Smiths husband and about half of
that for her, which is just below the threshold of what would normally
make a user trip. She took the homemade pill with a glass of water and
waited. A few days later, she swallowed another one.
For the rest of the winter and into the spring, Smith (not her real
nameshes concerned that the illegality of her self-medication could
compromise her career) and her husband continued to take tiny doses of
magic mushrooms every few days while going about their daily lives.
Smith didnt see swirling wild colors or shifting shapes. She didnt feel as if
the trees and sky were sparkling magically at her. She didnt imagine that
she saw God. Insteadalong with shaking off those winter bluesshe
became very, very efficient. It gives you fresh eyes, she says, for programming or figuring out algorithmic stuff. It made me really productive in a
motivated way. Whatever mental block that was stopping me from doing
something would disappear. Plus, during her four-month-long mushroom experiment, she got a lot of household chores done.
The term for what Smith and her husband were trying is microdosing, a growing trend in psychotropic experimentation. Unlike other
trending hallucinogenic experiences, like, say, drinking ayahuasca
(a psychedelic tea brewed from Amazonian plants, sipped under the
supervision of a shaman), microdosing doesnt deliver an earthshattering, body-wrenching, mind-blowing journey through the other
side of the Doors of Perception. The idea is to change, in an almost
imperceptible way, your everyday neural functioning for the better.
While its impossible to gather hard data on microdosing, anecdotal
evidence suggests that its use is on the rise: The popular podcast Reply
All devoted a segment to it last fall; Rolling Stone, VICE, and Forbes
chronicled it as a trend shortly afterward; and one YouTube how-to
tutorial has been streamed more than half a million times since it was
posted in September 2015. Reddit, where Smith picked up the idea, has an
entire subReddit devoted to the topic with more than 9,000 subscribers.
Tech insiders in particular seem eager to try it out as an alternative to
Adderall (the prescription stimulant, prescribed to treat ADD/ADHD,
that helps users stay motivated and on task, but may cause irritability and

HYPOMANIA. IT WAS A FLOW BUT
WITHOUT THE ADDERALL
IRRITABILITY. Author Ayelet Waldman
anxiety)one that helps not just with efficacy and focus, but also with
creativity. The women who try microdosing arent burnouts; in fact, the
ones we spoke to are high-achieving, and interested in becoming more so.
Women like New York Times best-selling author Ayelet Waldman.
The writer and former drug-policy lawyer (and wife of author Michael
Chabon) suffered for years from PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric
disorder), a severe form of PMS that mimics depression, which she was
treating with SSRIs (antidepressants) timed to the week before her
period. But when the Berkeley, Californiabased Waldman, 52, hit
perimenopause, her periods became far less predictable, and she began
to hunt around for other options to manage her moods, which is how
she began microdosing as a one-month experiment, despite her selfconfessed aversion to drugs of that sort. I thought if there was one
human being in the world destined to have a bad trip, it was Ayelet
Waldman, she says. I mean, I could have a bad trip over breakfast. I
dont need a drug for that. But shed begun to realize that the legal drugs
shed been prescribed for years had plenty of drawbacks: There was a
study published about Ambien and Alzheimers long after Id taken a
thousand Ambien. Before trying her experiment, Waldman conducted
extensive research into the myths and realities surrounding LSD.
(Perhaps the most encouraging fact of all: LSD is, as drugs go, safe. In
terms of morbidity, its a lot more like marijuana than heroin, according
to her research.) She also corresponded with Menlo Park, California
based psychologist James Fadiman, Ph.D., whose chapter on microdosing in his 2011 underground classic, The Psychedelic Explorers Guide,
meant to be a practical guide to psychedelics, introduced the term to the
mainstream of drug culture (if not yet the mainstream itself). Fadiman
explained exactly how to microdose and how he developed his method.
Waldman was thrilled with the results: She regulated her own moods
better and worked through marital bumps more easily. Her children
whom she told only that she was trying a new medicationgave her
experiment glowing reviews. I didnt fly off the handle as much, she
says. I wrote a whole book called Bad Mother [which was published in
May 2009]. If I had been microdosing back then, I probably would have
written Remarkably Calm, Compassionate Mother.
What really surprised Waldman was the way it affected her work.
I found it inspired a state of calm hypomania. It was a flow but
without the Adderall irritability. You lose track of time because youre
so into the work, and youre making all these exciting connections.
Most tellingly, says Waldman, is that, I wrote a book in a month! She
turned her journal and research on microdosing into A Really Good

Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My
Marriage, and My Life (which will be published in January by Knopf ).
The idea of taking a psychedelic multiple times a week might seem
impossibly risky to those of us who were raised with stories of 1960s-era
acidheads who died thinking they could fly off tall buildings, or hearing
the cafeteria shibboleth that if you took more than seven LSD
trips in your life, youd become legally insanebut the concept of
microdosing has actually been around for a long time. Albert
Hofmann, Ph.D., the Swiss chemist who first synthesized LSD in
1938 and died in 2008 at the age of 102, actually microdosed his
own invention for decades at the end of his life, as reported in
Waldmans upcoming book.
Fadiman began research on LSD in the early 1960s at a
research lab in Menlo Park. This was before the drug was banned
in the United States after the Staggers-Dodd Bill was passed in
October 1968, and before the Summer of Love cemented it in the
popular imagination not as a tool for enhancing the mind (as
Fadiman saw it), but for dropping out (in the famous phrase of Timothy
Leary, the rogue Harvard University researcher whom President Richard
Nixon once called the most dangerous man in America for his role in
popularizing drugs). Nightmarish, albeit exaggerated, stories of LSDs
effects had a chilling effect, even if they were later found to be mostly
untrue. As a January 26, 1968, Time magazine article begins, There is no
doubt that LSD can have severe and harmful effects on the minds of those
who take it. The article goes on to describe a story that circulated about
how a group of undergraduates in Pennsylvania, who took LSD while
lazing around the universitys grounds, stared wide-eyed into the sun for
hours, burning their retinas so badly that they went blind. It turns out the
commissioner of the Office for the Blind in the states Department of
Public Welfare fabricated the story to drive home the dangers of LSD.
But that hasnt stopped Fadiman, who, a few years ago, began collecting self-reported experiences by a small number of users, looking
for patterns. Fadiman offered a simple protocol for users to follow:
One day of microdosing (at the 10-microgram level) followed by a couple days off, which would be a baseline of normal brain functioning
against which users could measure their experience. (Many users
reported the second day as their happiest, most productive day.) He
encouraged microdosers to carefully track their moods and any physical reactions to the drug. On the fourth day, the cycle started over again.
The side effects? The one that seems to have intrigued modern experimenters like Smith and Waldman is a state of flow: highly concentrated,
almost joyful, productivity. Microdosing, as Fadiman explains in his
book, is also said by some to cure cluster headaches, anxiety, and
depression, the last being one of the most popular reasons why people
turn to microdosing and its mood-balancing effects.
Dr. Molly Maloof, a physician in San Francisco whose patient base
consists of hard-charging tech executives, says theres already a culture in
the tech industry of trying to optimize ones brain, whether through legal
methods like sleep tracking or obsessive nutritional tweaking, or through
the less wholesome options of pills and powders. Its like Valley of the
Dolls, but its Silicon Valley of the Dolls, she says, citing the widespread
off-prescription use of Ritalin (prescribed to treat ADHD), Adderall, and
Modafinil, a narcolepsy aid. The number of friends and patients asking
Maloof about microdosing is, in comparison to Modafinil, quite small,
but she has noticed a pronounced uptick in outside interest over the past
year. For Fadiman, the volume of e-mail hes received from the microdosecurious (and data from users) has accelerated dramatically of late.
Its an ongoing exploration on my part, says Katherine Dean, 26,

a microdoser who up until recently worked in sales for a marketing
startup in San Francisco. Dean (also not her real name) is a
biohackerone who hacks their biology by self-collecting data
via methods such as DNA, blood, and adrenal testing to determine
which dietary modifications (like drinking bulletproof coffee: coffee
blended with grass-fed unsalted butter and Brain Octane Oil), supplements (like nootropics), and technologies (like a headband that electrically stimulates neurons for better cognition) to implement to improve
functioning. There are labs, meet-ups, and conferences around the globe
where community members discuss methodologies and discoveries.
As 2016 dawned, Dean decided she wanted to work on her relationships
with other people. Microdosing, shed heard from other biohackers, is
said to bring out empathy. She kept a diary of her experience, with
entries like warm in stomach now and a little clumsy while making
[food]. She made lists of prosincreased extroversion, elevated
moodand cons. At least initially, Dean felt she wasnt as good at
motor-skills tasks, and (unlike others) thought it decreased focus.
Many drugs, both legal and illegal, make you feel better, for varying
amounts of time, some by tweaking levels of serotonin, the moodregulating neurotransmitter (or brain chemical). SSRIs make more
serotonin available for use by your brain in a controlled way. MDMA,
also known as ecstasy, and cocaine also flood the system with serotonin
(and dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control the brains
pleasure center), which is why users feel fantastic when theyre high
and often deeply bleak the next day: Theyve gotten an advance on their
happiness paycheck. Psychedelics work on some of the same receptors
in the brain that moderate serotonin, but theyre doing a different
kind of work. They increase glutamate, a neurotransmitter that enables
cognition. When people say these drugs expand your mind, theyre
actually being quite literal. But not as much is understood, on a clinical
level, about how psychedelics affect neurological functioning because
so much depends on mood and individual brain chemistry.
While Dean didnt experience the miracle of hyper-focus, microdosing did help her at work. Dean made 120 sales calls per day pitching her
companys software to small businesses, and at least eight of those calls
needed to result in sales. After microdosing, she says, she nailed an
average of one to two more sales per day. Dean says that the mushrooms
helped her switch personas as neededwithout consciously realizing it,
she became girlier and sweeter when trying to sell to an older man, for
instance. When Im microdosing, Im more creative, she explains. I
read people better. It gives me a broader range of compatibility. She isnt
shy about her habit: Her friends knew; her
coworkers knew; even her mother knew. The
only significant person in her life Dean hadnt
shared with was her boss at the time. A smart
move, perhapsjust ask the 20-something
programmer for a San Francisco tech company who was fired for microdosing after
bragging about her self-medication to
coworkers and even over company e-mail.
s this really the miracle drug that will
fix moods, increase productivity, boost
creativity and empathyall without
the risk of addiction posed by its prescription counterparts? Hard to say. After a
decades-long drought in clinical research, there have been a few

scattered studies, at UCLA, NYU, and Johns Hopkins, and in
Switzerland, on the use of psychedelics in patients facing the end
of life, for instance. (Results from the UCLA study suggest it can
help profoundly ease existential anxiety.) But formal work on
microdosing psychedelics is virtually nonexistent.
Maloof decided microdosing wasnt for her, as she already
wakes up with so much vitality every day and worries about the
necessarily ad hoc nature of dosage measuring. Because LSD is
illegal, she notes, there are no clinical trials to determine dosing
based on gender, weight, brain chemistry, and so forth, nor can you
count on knowing exactly how any batch youre sold will affect you.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) warns that little is
known about the long-term effects of psychedelic use at any dosage
level; some users with a preexisting condition have had seizures
triggered by larger doses. Matthew W. Johnson, a researcher who
specializes in psychedelics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
(and who is generally excited about the potential medical and
therapeutic uses of them), says, Classic psychedelics are not
addictive at all, but urges caution, given the lack of research and
the unregulated nature of the drugs. He emphasizes that people can
take what they think to be a microdose and be hit with a much
stronger effect than theyd bargained for. As with any street drug,
its difficult to determine the purity of the substance (LSD in
particular can be laced with things like PCP or cocaine). Consider
this scenario: You take what you assume is a microdose, walk into
work, and start tripping at your desk or in a meeting. And whether
youre experiencing superhuman focus or seeing the world through
a kaleidoscope, your judgment is altered, at least temporarily, when
taking the drug. People talk about microdosing in your everyday
life, he says, and that includes driving or making decisions at
work. The implication: Its a risk. That and We just dont know
about the benefits, he says. Theyre possible, but Im not convinced
by anything. Microdosing seems really ripe for a placebo effect.
The NIDA also notes, on its Web page for hallucinogens and
dissociative drugs (like PCP and ketamine), that in the rare
instances when large doses of hallucinogens trigger prolonged
episodes of psychosis or flashbacks, its often in individuals
with a history of psychological problems or a family history of
schizophrenia and related diseases. Johnson agrees. It seems
convincing that people who have a psychotic predisposition are
harmed by them, he says. If your concept of reality is hanging by a
thread, the last thing you need is a high dose of a psychedelic. In
terms of lower doses, its anybodys guess.
The question of how long to microdose is an open one, too;
Fadiman doesnt encourage users to be on the protocol indefinitely.
Waldman stopped after her one-month experiment, in part because
she didnt trust street drugs, and makes an argument in her book
that microdosing will only be truly understood when LSD is
decriminalized and can be clinically studied and legally regulated.
I stopped microdosing because its illegal, she says. If it were
legal, I would have continued. Smith stopped when she started
trying to get pregnant, though she says shed try again when her
body is my own again. Dean is still microdosing. Shes still
learning things about herself through the protocol, and quotes the
philosopher Alan Watts, who had a simple recommendation for
knowing when to stop using psychedelics: When you get the
message, its time to hang up the phone.

uperheroes have all kinds of

special powers. Some can fly.
Some have kinetic abilities. And
others can send men into space
with their brainpower. Thats
right: From the 1940s through
the 1980s, a group of as many as 80 African-American female
mathematicians, engineers, and scientists at NASA (known as the
West Computers, a reference to the segregated west side of the
Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, Virginia)
pushed their cat-eye glasses back and looked up toward the cosmos, where their mathematical capacitynot to mention the quiet,
steely determination to transcend institutional and social barriers
around race and gendercarried a man into outer space, landed
another on the moon for the first time, and saved three others
aboard the Apollo 13 spacecraft from crashing onto the Earths
surface, just to name a few of their superhuman accomplishments.
As Margot Lee Shetterly writes in her September New York
Times best seller, Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the
Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped
Win the Space Race (William
Morrow): Their goal wasnt to stand
out because of their differences; it
was to fit in because of their talent.
So who are these women, the ones
whom actress Taraji P. Henson
describes as superheroes without
capes? Based on Shetterlys book,
Hidden Figures (20th Century Fox), in
theaters in January, tells the story of
NASA mathematicians Katherine
Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary
Jackson, black women whose contributions to Americas space-race efforts
launched astronaut John Glenn (played in the movie by Glen
Powell) into the cosmos in 1962, the first American ever to orbit
the Earth. The film is directed by Theodore Melfi, with an
original soundtrack by Pharrell Williams. Its the kind of story
youd expect to know already, names youd hear recited as
answers to the $200-level questions on Jeopardy!.
I actually thought this was a work of fiction, Spencer says.
Ive seen footage from that era, and there werent any women
anywhere in sight. The Academy Award winner plays Vaughan,
the interim supervisor of the human computers (as in, women
who calculated the math that had literally never been done
before that built NASAs aircraft and kept them from falling back
to Earth). In the film, Vaughan fights for the official title of
supervisor, a distinction shes denied (despite already doing the
work) by other (read: white, male) departments. Vaughan,
whom Spencer describes as mechanically inclined, went on to
work with the first IBM computers at NASA, dismantling them

to teach herself the wiring. Let me just tell you right now,
Spencer says, I would never be able to do what she did. I cant
even put Ikea furniture together.
When Henson read the script, she was upset. I just remember being very angry, she says, because had I known, maybe I
wouldve dreamed of becoming a rocket scientist. I wasnt good
at math and sciencethats why Im an actress. Henson plays
Johnson, the now 98-year-old woman who was part of the team
responsible for calculating the trajectory for the first American
in space in 1961. Later, Glenn requested that the ultra-capable
Johnson personally recheck the calculations that would send
him into orbit. Katherine is a living hero, Henson says. That
must be some kind of power to know that you sent men where
no men have gone.
Not that any of the women were thinking about that. I dont
think they knew that they were making history, Mone says. This
is Mones first starring role in a major feature film. (She also
starred in this falls indie drama Moonlight.) But acting is nothing
new for the Grammy Awardnominated singer, who studied
drama at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New
York. In Hidden Figures, Mone plays Jackson, the first AfricanAmerican female engineer at NASA. They were doing their job,
Mone says. They came in every day wanting to be respected as
hard workers, to prove themselves as brilliant-minded women.
Henson agrees: When youre in it, you dont know that youre
making a change. Youre just doing it, and then you look up and
youre 98 and the president is giving
you all kinds of medals. Youre like,
What? I just did my job. Johnson was
awarded the 2015 Presidential Medal
of Freedom last November.
These women also changed our
understanding of what humankind
is capable ofwithout a pat on the
back. Still, theres the question the
actresses will inevitably be asked in
press junkets: How does this film fit
into the conversation about diversity
in Hollywood? I think its an inane
question, says Spencer. Heres my
feeling on it: People have totally reduced the conversation about
diversity to mean black and white. Diversity means, If I look at
a movie screen, I am going to see all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities, different genders. To make it a black or white conversation
diminishes all of the other categories.
I dont like to answer the diversity question, she continues.
Because I know that people arent asking me about diversity;
they are asking me as a black woman. I cant speak for all black
women. I can only speak for myself. I am happy for the opportunity, and I think we need more opportunity for all people.
Its a good thing then that theres so much more to talk
about, so much more to applaud. I would love for this to be
a celebration, like Apollo 13, Spencer says. The fact that we
have to say that this was never talked about is sad. But were
talking about it! And we wont allow anyone else to be omitted
from the annals of history.

Q: A dinner party?!
What the hell was

A: Its OK. Dont try to blow it out
with dessert and appetizers and your

main. Pick just one thing that you
want to blow peoples minds with.
Around the holidays, people get more
dressed up, the expectations feel a little
bit higher. PRO TIP If Im doing a
smaller gathering, I ask them to bring
something. Most people offer anyway,
and you should take them up on it.
But be specific about what you want
them to bring. They may just show
up with a box of chocolates, but who
cares? Youll all enjoy it, and you can
focus on the main course.
Q: So what should I make?

A: In the wintertime: a braised-meat
dish or a casserole. Something that

can be prepared ahead of time and
then popped in the oven before the
party. PRO TIP I rarely put a whole
lot of energy into appetizers. Just
make a great board of cheeses, olives,
almonds, and crackers.
Q: And how should I

serve everything?
A: Think cocktail party or a buffet.
PRO TIP If youre doing a sit-down

dinner party, assigned seats are
great. You know your friendsthere
are people who are just funny and
keep the conversation going. Dont
seat two people like that next to
each other. Have them on either side
of the table to keep everybody in
their vicinity in conversation.
Q: Should I make a
special cocktail, too?
A: Not if youre overwhelmed. Just
set up a bar with a bunch of wine,

or some gin, tonic water, and lemon,
and let people make their own stuff.
PRO TIP I love doing a Rom
Cremat, a traditional drink from
Catalonia, for parties. You pour
a whole bottle of rum, some sugar,
cinnamon, and lemon peel, and
espresso beans in a fireproof
pot. And then you light it on fire.
Warning: You do not do this after,
like, four drinks. Jen Ortiz

Something old, something new. To re-create Dicksons aestheticrich, hospitable,

comfortable, and a bit worngo old-school. I love vintage glassware and vases
in different sizes, she says, paired with old ribbons and sparkly things. Her
favorite way to decorate a Christmas tree? Drape it in strings of fake pearls.
Have good scents. Smell is a really important thing about the holidays, says
Dickson. Scented vanilla or cinnamon candles create an immediate atmosphere. Make it
personal. Hosting a big Friendsgiving or having your significant others family over? Name cards
look really cute, especially if they have something personal written on them, she says. Or photos
of people from their Instagrams. Pass the bar. If youre setting up a bar, Dickson recommends
having three glass options: a stemmed cocktail glass, a rocks glass, and a tall highball glass. And
never underestimate a good garnish. She suggests: Edible flowers! Lane Florsheim

GUIDE
Choosing the right
champagne can
be confusing AF.
Jen Pelka, owner
of San Franciscos new
champagne bar The Riddler
(its run by an all-girl gang;
go there now), breaks down
how to buy a bottle for any
bash or budget
To GET THE PARTY STARTED

Dont be shy about going for a magnum.
People go crazy for them, and a lot of small
houses make them for surprisingly cheap
much cheaper than actually buying two
bottles. Be prepared to be the belle of the
ball. She recommends Krug, Pol Roger,
or Pierre Gimonnet & Fils [from $80].
When youre ON A BUDGET
If you want true champagnethat is,
made in Champagne, Franceits almost
impossible to find one for under $20.
She recommends Crmant de Loire
made in the same method but comes
from the neighboring Loire Valleyby
Langlois, M. Bonnamy, or Tissot Crmant
du Jura. A perfectly delicious affordable
alternative [$14 to $25].
For NEW YEARS BRUNCH

beyond the Mimosa! She recommends

La Marca Prosecco [$14]. Mix with
grapefruit juice and add a sprig of thyme
or rosemary. Or pick another juice, add
a sugar cube and a dash of Angostura
bitters, and pour sparkling wine on it all.
When you WANT TO IMPRESS

I love Veuve Clicquot, and its a house
people know. She recommends
Instead of the basic label, try the Veuve
Clicquot Ros [$67].
In the mood for SOMETHING
TOTALLY DIFFERENT
Go to your favorite wine store. Now avoid
all the big labels you recognize. Instead,
ask for an indie grower-producer. The clerk
will probably hand you something delicious
and lower in price, and tell you a story
about the unique way that vineyard makes
its champagne. She recommends Pierre
Pters [from $50]. Andrew Richdale

LOVE & SEX
I Gave Up
My Freedom
for Love
he first time I laid eyes

on Rome, I knew I had to
live there. I was 10 years
old, tagging along with
my parents on a trip to
buy gold for their jewelry
shop back home in
Australias Gold Coast.
I loved the feel of the city,
the energy, the people.
I adored how the language rolled off their tongues,
and how they encouraged me to say hello in Italian.
When I returned to normal life in Australia, Rome
stayed with me as I went through school and
university and started a career.
When I was three years into a job working in
public relations for a billion-dollar gas and oil
company, it just hit me. I was a grown woman, with
tons of friends, a great family, and a dog I adored,
but I had a realization: If I want to live in Italy, its
now or never. So I quit my job, said good-bye to my
childhood friends, and moved to a city where I
knew no one.
Through a stroke of luck, I got hired at Prada
as a sales assistant for the summer. In order to get
a student visa so I could stay in Italy, I started
studying theology at the Pontifical University of St.
Thomas Aquinas. I already had a bachelors degree
in communications, another one in German, and
a masters in business administration, but the
subject seemed like a welcome departure from my
fast-paced fashion job.
No one was more surprised to hear what I was doing than my friends back home. Id
grown up Anglican and had always been the naughty girl in religious-studies classes,
making fun of the priest and doing my homework for other classes when I should have
been paying attention. But living in Rome and learning more about God, I became
enchanted with Catholicism. The stories of the saints, and their dedication to helping
others, blew me away. It was all so beautiful. Without hesitation, I dove in, taking
classes to convert, going to mass every Sunday, and wearing a diamond crucifix around
my neck. A week before I was received into the Catholic Church, I began working at
LOsservatore Romano, the popes newspaper. You can re-create yourself in a place like
Rome, and thats what I did.
It was on my way to work that I first saw Dominic in his red, yellow, and blue
uniform, standing tall and stoic in front of St. Annes Gate, as Swiss Guards have been
doing since the 1500s. While certain posts in Vatican City prohibit the guards from
talking to anyoneor even movingfor hours at a time, those stationed at St. Annes
Gate are free to interact with the public. Dominic would always say good morning and
ask how I was each day. He was sweet and kind, but remained professional.
Slowly, we built a friendship. He would help me get tickets to Vatican events, and
tell me jokes to cheer me up on tough days. Eventually we connected on Facebook,
where we chatted intermittently and I learned more about his life. As a member of the
Swiss Guard, he was essentially a personal bodyguard, trained in hand-to-hand combat
and committed to keeping the pope safe at any cost. With a modest salary and highly
regimented lifestyle, his position was more of a vocation than a job. He and the other
guardsall at least 5'8" and between the ages of 19 and 30lived together in barracks
near the popes apartment.
One night, a few years after we had met, when neither of us had dinner plans, we
decided to meet up at a little Sardinian place. Our connection that night felt magical,
and we talked until the restaurant closed. Although the guards dont have a curfew, they
are banned from sleeping outside Vatican City, so the evening ended abruptly when we
realized it was getting late and he needed to return. Desperate to see each other again,
we planned to get coffee together the next morning. In the Italian way, I was very late
and nearly knocked him over running around a corner on my way to our coffee date.
Instead of being annoyed, he reached out and gave me a hug. I felt overwhelmed with
POOL NEW/REUTERS. OPPOSITE PAGE, FROM LEFT: KATARZYNA ARTYMIAK, COURTESY OF THE SUBJECT/@SWISSGUARDWIFE (4)
Why would a nonreligious PR maven and

fashion lover from Australia choose to live
behind the walls of Vatican City, where she
has to make a home in communal
barracksand even follow a dress code?
Joanne Bergamin shares her very
old-fashioned love story with Abby Haglage
love. That one hug changed the

course of my life.
We quickly began dating, and it
was like getting into a relationship
with someone I already knew. Two
days after the hug, he kissed me.
The next day, he said, I love you.
Unbeknownst to me, Dominic had
been trying to take me out for years.
He told me there had been times when
hed see me coming to the gate and get
too nervous to speak, so hed run to
another guard and make that one take
his spot. After just a few months, we
both knew we wanted to get married.
But thats when reality set in: We
werent just another couple in Rome;
our journey would be different.
Guards who decide to marry must
agree to three additional years of
Joanne
service, and Dominic and I discussed
Bergamin and
the commitments we would have to
her real-life
knight in
make. He explained that I would have
shining armor
to move into Vatican City and live
with him in the family barracks of the
Swiss Guard. Obviously, I would agree to follow the dress code I was
already familiar with as a Vatican employee (knees and shoulders
always covered) and accept that he works eight or nine days out of 10,
is rarely off on weekends, and is busy every religious holiday. Most of
all, I would need to understand that, as a Swiss Guard, his numberone priority would always be Pope Francis, not me.
It was a tough decision to make, one that we talked about in great
detail. But we both considered his post such an honor that we decided
to make the commitment for at least a few more years. Once I agreed,
permission was sought within the Vatican to marry, and security
and background checks ensued. Because I had previously worked in
the Vatican, I wasnt worried. Still, its not every day that an engagement is followed by an investigation into your past. While we waited
for official permission, it was difficult not to tell anyone that we were
engaged when really we wanted to shout it from the rooftops.
In a way, the vetting process felt like an old-fashioned courtship,

and when our wedding day arrived, all the traditional pomp and
circumstance around it seemed appropriate. We were married in
front of 120 guests on November 1, 2014, at St. Stephen of the
Abyssinians, the oldest standing church in Vatican City. Outside its
doors, Dominics fellow guards formed two lines in their colorful
striped uniforms to honor us, thrusting their swords toward the sky
in celebration. Right after our wedding, we got to meet with Pope
Francis, who gave us some invaluable marriage advice.
Life in this 110-acre walled enclave is so different from everything I
knew before. The building we live in is basically a military barracks, so
the apartment is extremely minimal. Im a conservative dresser by
nature, but as someone who loves fashion and once worked in public
relations, not being able to buy or wear certain outfits has taken some
getting used to. There are hundreds of people who live in Vatican City,
but very few of us are womenincluding the 15 wives of the Swiss
Guardsand weve gotten very close.
While my husband and I are free to express our love, we do have
to be discreet, since we live in a holy place. We actually ran into
some controversy recently when a Reuters photographer snapped a
picture of us kissing while Dominic was in uniform. Its not as if we
planned the photo or had anything to do with its release, but the
image ended up going viral. I thought it was nice for the public to
see that the guards have a human side, but thats not how everyone
in the Vatican felt. Some were surprisedand not too pleased. There
were no official repercussions, but the pushback was a reminder
that our lives are not fully our own.
Sometimes, I get homesick for the sunny beaches I left behind.
Marrying Dominic meant agreeing to a life where the church comes
first, and that is not always easy. But even though I daydream of
putting my feet in the sand and being back with my childhood friends,
I wouldnt change a thing. Im now working at the American University
of Rome, and my morning commute involves brushing up against
St. Peters Basilica, which I can enter via a private door. The pope is
my neighbor, the Sistine Chapel is in my backyard, and I go on long
evening runs through the Vatican Gardens, which are closed to the
public at that time of day. I never feel luckier than when Im weaving
through the wildflowers at dusk, the dome of St. Peters behind me. And
every time I see my husband come home in his Swiss Guard uniform, I
cant help but smile. Hes literally my knight in shining armor.

DECEMBER 2016
HOROSCOPES
This month has Sagittarius spelling things out (it will pay off, Hailee
Steinfeld), Cancer taking it nice and slow (why rushright, Priyanka Chopra?),
and Aries throwing caution to the wind (bring it, Emma Watson!)
By E R IC F R A NC I S C OPP OL I NO
Sagittarius
(November 22December 21)
Even a clairvoyant would find it hard to decipher

what youre thinking these days, so tell people whats
percolating, and explain your viewpointand how
you got therestep-by-step. This is not on the regular
Sagittarius menu of options, but relationships will run
more smoothly, and you will feel more confident if you
trust that people understand you. Listen long enough
to get their thoughts; as there will be a few crucial
moments, youll be glad you took the time to do so.
POWER DAY: December 22
Capricorn
(December 22January 19)
Uncover the truth in small bits instead of getting

it as a fully assembled picture. This might require
comparing information from multiple sources over
a period of time. Be as methodical and objective as
possible, and reality will come into focus. Tempted
though you may be, dont rush to conclusions. Your
ultimate determination might be entirely different
from your initial reaction. Your intuition must be
backed up by concrete and provable data.
Aquarius
POWER DAYS BASED ON PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS. ZODIAC SIGNS: GETTY IMAGES
(January 20February 18)
Begin thinking about your longer-term future. Its as

if a lens in your mind has been replaced, enabling
you to see ahead more clearly. Start from the
position that nothing is impossible and that ideas
gain potential as you visualize them. This is not about
magic; visualization is how discoveries are made.
You may be contemplating a long-distance move
or embarking on a new career. Let yourself dream.
Love or a partnership may factor into the equation.
Pisces
(February 19March 20)
You have excellent ideas and others have the

means to make them real, which could result in a
brilliant collaboration. Refine your pitch (its OK
to be a little idealistic!) and show youre capable of
making wise use of resources. Treat everyone as a
potential business partner without letting on your
intentions. Certain people are more excited about
your talents than you are, and by paying careful
attention, youll recognize just who they are.
Aries
(March 21April 19)
Given the high-voltage planets in your sign, you

may have wondered if youre too intense for a
normal social life. Err on the side of asserting who
you are rather than hiding your light or toning things
down. Jupiter is boldly working its way through your
relationship sign of Libra, which indicates people
will thrive on your energy and wild streak. The
coming year holds new introductions; be yourself,
and welcome them into your life.
Taurus
(April 20May 20)
No one can tell you whats true, right, or holy. All you
need to do is respect what your inner voice is saying.
This is a revolutionary act because its so rarely
done and because you may hit upon information
counter to conventional wisdom or your usual values.
Yet theres nothing conventional about who you are
right now, and your duty is not about meeting the
demands of others. If youre looking for an authority
figure, consider yourself it.
Gemini
(May 21June 20)
State your expectations plainly and simply, whether

youre speaking to relationship partners, business
partners, or the representative from your cellular
provider. You set the tone for all communication,
so dont allow yourself to be intimidated. When in
doubt, stick to the facts. This is your most important
hedge against being swayed by the emotions,
power, or charisma of others. The outcome of every
discussion must be unequivocal agreement.
Cancer
(June 21July 22)
Your relationship life has been heating up lately, and

the pace of events has been quickening along with it.
Take a wait-and-see approach to decisions. Planetary
conditions insist that you seek genuine mutual
understanding, which could prove challenging if
people continue to change their minds in ways
that influence you. However, if you read between
the lines, you will have a good idea of peoples
motivations, and you can respond accordingly.
Leo
(July 23August 22)
This will be a phenomenally productive career

month if you know when to ease off and let things
work themselves out. Avoid traps that lure you
into wasting timethe minute you feel your
schedule going off the rails, ask yourself if the
task at hand is truly necessary. The world goes
into a frenzy trying to get stuff done before years
end. Streamline plans, set priorities, modify
goals, and stay off the proverbial treadmill.
Virgo
(August 23September 22)
Jupiters entrance into your house of wealth and

resources has you feeling flush, but delay sealing
business deals or major commitments until the
new year. Theres too much shifting to grasp where
others stand. Read the fine print and get a handle
on what is expected of you before making any
irreversible choices. Request specifics and make
sure people demonstrate that they can keep a
promise before making any promises to them.
Libra
(September 23October 22)
What some call luck is on your side now. Your main

advantage is how much you know, which only
has actual worth if you put it to conscious use.
Another edge you have is stabilityhandy when
dealing with intelligent-but-erratic types. Try feeling
larger than everyone and everything around you.
Adjust your sense of scale, and imagine youre a foot
taller. That doesnt make you better but enhances
your perspective and levels out the game.
Scorpio
(October 23November 21)
Dont keep a journal? You might want to this month.

This year, youve been repeatedly put in the position
of reviewing the past to comprehend why things
unfolded in the manner they did. Youll see this is less
a matter of opinion and more about analysis
of known facts. What is more significant is why
you react the way you do, something you are bent
on changing. Its about time you figure out where
youre coming from and where youre going.
