From
the
Editor
he naked female body is one of the most powerful

and symbolic images. It represents sex, nurturing,
vulnerability and condence. Its often exploited to
produce the most shocking and ofensive visuals,
while the choice to bare all is also used by women to
show their strength, liberation and independence.
Confusing? Just a bit. When I rst saw photos of Femen, the
radical feminist campaigners who carry out all their protests
topless wearing just jeans, body paint and hair garlands I
didnt know what to think. Preposterous eye candy for the
mostly male police sent to control them? Or free-thinking,
brave extremists reclaiming that which nature gave us? Quite
frankly, Im no closer to deciding as stories surface that they
might be the brainchild of a man something they dispute.
Read our special report on p64 and tell us what you think.

The article Sun, Sea And Sexual emal

Attacks in your October issue
was a real eye-opener. With sexual attacks
on British women abroad increasing, isolation,
language barriers and unsympathetic police
make prosecutions rare. My friend and I
worked in the United Arab Emirates and
during that time she was raped. She reported
it, but was dismissed by police and her attacker
got of scot-free. Women in the UK are much
more aware of their rights and more willing to
talk publicly about rape. Other countries need
to encourage awareness that rape is a crime,
and that it causes trauma. Name withheld
Size-zero debate
I disagree with Natashas view that websites

for petite girls celebrate extreme body sizes
in an unhealthy way (Should Size Zero Shops
Be Banned?, October). Eating disorders are
mental-health conditions that originate
from control issues a store isnt going to
make you develop one. Name withheld
THE DILEMMA
I said the wrong thing to
a potential employer...
I applied for a job recently and was
told the position had been lled, but

that they wanted to keep my le on
record. Then they called me yesterday to
give me an interview. I got nervous and
told them I wasnt looking anymore,
even though I am. Is it too late for me
to ring them and explain? Sausage_cat
You could ring
back and ask for

more information
about the job.
Admit that you
made a mistake
and see if they could
put you through
with the next lot
of applicants.

chance. Its not
going to do any
harm and you wont

I think its a

you should address

Mindy
Kaling
OSMOND SAYS I nd
this look a bit boring its
not a style Im drawn to.
RICHARD SAYS Ive
seen Mindy look a lot better
than this. The colour isnt
very exciting or attering.
JONATHAN SAYS
We dont dress for men, but are

curious about their style turn-ons.
Cosmos Shelly Vella joins the debate
This dress is gorgeous less

is more its not too fussy
and it shows oV her curves.
COSMO FASHION
VERDICT Mindy looks
incredible: curvy, sexy, yet still

chic and classy. Its the perfect
choice of colour for her.

OSMOND, 28, from

London, works in
marketing and is
in a relationship
I like it when women
dress casual but sexy.
RICHARD, 35, from

London, is a
recruitment manager
and is single
I like women who
know their own style.
OSMOND SAYS This

dress would look a bit boring
if it wasnt for the sheer bit
thats showing oV her waist.
RICHARD SAYS The
cut-out bits are too fussy;

without them itd be lovely.
JONATHAN SAYS
30
COSMO
FASHION
VERDICT
Chic, sexy,
understated.
Just perfect.
Girl crush?
How did you guess
RICHARD SAYS
The skirt is lovely but

Im not a fan of the top
at all; theres way too
much going on.
JONATHAN SAYS
This is a classy look. I love

the way it accentuates her
waist; its very attering.
JONATHAN, 22, from

Glasgow, is a barista
and is single
If a girl dresses with
condence, she can
wear anything.
This is a great look:

the top is sexy and the
bright colours are eyecatching. She looks quite
casual, which is great.
WorldMags.net
This is horrible. The top

part looks like half of a
swimsuit and the skirt
does nothing for her.
COSMO FASHION
VERDICT I agree
with Richard: this is a

fussy dress that doesnt
atter Cat at all. Shes
gorgeous and normally
doesnt put a foot wrong.

The couple
who changed
sex forever
Solo sex and multiple orgasms
a new TV drama introduces us
to the scientists who let us enjoy
both before breakfast
ts the TV role that will earn Michael

Sheen a lot of points with women
everywhere: playing William Masters,
the man who helped discover the
female multiple orgasm, in new
Channel 4 drama Masters Of Sex. We
say helped because Masters wouldnt have got
anywhere without his research partner Virginia
Johnson, played by Lizzy Caplan (Janis Ian from
Mean Girls). Starting this month, the show follows
the two scientists groundbreaking work in the
50s to unlock the mysteries of female pleasure
while they navigate their own complicated
relationship. Pioneers when even the word
pregnant was censored on TV, they got people
talking about sex openly and debunked Freudian
myths too. So what do we have to thank them
for? Multiple things of course
By observing and recording

approximately 10,000 orgasms in their
lab, they demolished the idea that
women werent as sexually voracious
as men and proved that were capable
of multiple orgasms.
They were the rst experts to identify

diferent physiological responses to
sexual stimulation: excitement, plateau,
orgasm and resolution. Well take all
four, thank you very much.
By measuring a womans pleasure

during climax, they disproved the idea
that vaginal orgasms were superior to
clitoral, which had been dubbed the
bad kind by Sigmund Freud (WTF?).
They were champions of female

equality in science. Even though it was
Masters who had the qualications, he
gave Johnson equal billing in all their
scientic endeavours.

A new book, You Can Beat

Your Brain, looks at how you
can overcome your quirks
and think more efectively.
Time to reboot your mind
QUIT WHILE YOURE BEHIND
Theres always that one man we
keep going back to. It all boils
down to the sunk-cost fallacy
we hate the idea of investing time
and efort in something that
ultimately proves fruitless, so we
return hoping to recover our initial
emotional investment.
Beat your brain: Itll hurt less in
the long run if you admit your
eforts were in vain and move on.
LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS
Its easy to get angry when a friend
says your new man may not be as
great as you think. This is because
were prone to the backre efect,
letting our love-skewed opinions
strengthen as theyre picked apart.
Beat your brain: Breathe... and
take their opinions on board.
CLOTHES MAKETH THE (WO)MAN
Hours spent choosing a date-night
or interview outt could be worth
it. A study in which half a group of
volunteers dressed like scientists
to perform a task found that those
who did so made fewer mistakes.
Beat your brain: Dress smarter,
hotter or cooler than you perceive
yourself and youll automatically
rise to the challenge.
STOP BELIEVING IN LUCK
its pointless. But our brains nd it
hard to accept that a coincidental
sequence of random events could
mean just nothing.
Beat your brain: Remember the
times you got lucky without your
lucky charm because the truth
is, it only acts as a placebo.

The Equal Pay Act
was passed in 1970
1. FIND A
FEMALE MENTOR
An inspiring female colleague or

role model is the perfect person
to give you the advice and
condence you need to ask for
that pay rise. Still feeling scared
about putting yourself out there?
Remember this: studies show that
companies with more women at
the top perform better on every
level than less diverse competitors.
So go for it!
2. DEMAND
ANSWERS
Employers can refuse to tell you

what your male colleagues earn on
the grounds of data protection so
instead ask for the average salary

of male colleagues at your level.
Contracts that say discussing your
salary is a no-no dont count legally
if they stop people from nding
out if theres an equal-pay problem
in their company.
3. SIGN UP!
Right now, the law states that

companies only have to reveal
whether theyre paying men
more than women in the same
jobs if theyre accused of gender
discrimination. If, like us, you
believe public pay audits should
be a government must-do, sign

Rachel Bilson in
The To Do List.
That skirts so
out, its back in!
Write the
right
to-do
list
Because its about

more than buying
milk and picking up
your dry cleaning
he To Do List
is our guiltypleasure movie
this month. Set
in 1993 (how
retro), it follows
the cringy quest of an 18-yearold girl (Parks And Recreations
brilliant Aubrey Plaza) to lose
her virginity, with the help of big
sister Amber (Rachel Bilson).
Although we cant say that an
awkward back-seat fumble in
the cinema ever featured highly
on our personal must-dos,
the lm does hammer home
the power of a good plan. So
how do you write a list you
can stick to? Development
consultant Charlotte AustinTalbot explains
48
WHERE Ask yourself what areas of

your life actually
need a to-do list. Draw a wheel with
the following areas:
nance, career, romantic relationsh
ips, friendships,
family, tness and living arrangements.
Rate your
satisfaction in each area from 1-10
and place your focus
on the one or two that rate lowest.
WHY Write a long-term goal for each
area and an
explanation as to why you have this
particular to-do.
Once you understand why youre
doing something,
youre more likely to commit to it,
says Charlotte.
HOW In order for the goals to be achie
vable and not
overwhelming, they have to be smal
l and measurable.
Thats not to say you shouldnt aim
big, but break things
into smaller, digestible chunks. Start
with one aim and
break it into six-month, one-month
and then weekly
stages. Visualisation is a powerful
tool as well, says
Charlotte. Maybe make a mood boar
d on Pinterest,
picturing what you hope to achieve
as your end goal.
To make that goal even more conc
rete, tell friends
and family youll be less likely to
go back on it.
WHEN Decide on a specic date by
which
you would like to complete something
, because
it will keep you motivated and make
you more
likely to achieve it.
TICK THINGS OFF When you comp
lete
something, mark the fact, says Char
lotte. I have
clients who put pebbles in jars every
time they
achieve a small goal, and it serves as
a powerful
visual reminder. Or go old-school
use it as an excuse to
invest in some beautiful stationery and
get ticking.

Last Halloween, I decided to have a

to a gory bit, I heard someone unlock
the back door and walk slowly up the
stairs, pausing outside my room. I knew
my housemate wasnt due home for
hours, so I panicked, shouting,Im not
afraid of you, Ill call 999 and scream the
house down! At which point my

The parent trap

I was staying with my boyfriend at his
parents house, and we had separate
rooms as theyre quite strict. I got up in
the night to go to the loo, and when I got
back into bed I felt something moving
around. Completely freaked out, I ran for
my boyfriends room and jumped into
his bed. Suddenly his parents switched
on the light, disapprovingly, and I learnt
that the presence Id felt was their cat,
who liked sleeping in that room.

bit of one story, we heard rustling and
a bang nearby. We obviously all
jumped, and in doing so knocked the
tent poles out of the ground. We were
too scared to go outside and x it, so
we ended up sleeping in a collapsed

On holiday, in the middle of the night

Eventually we heard someone come

My boyfriend and I had moved to a

was really old and could be a little scary
at night when I was by myself. One
evening I was sitting in the living room
with just our little dog for company,
when the doorbell started ringing as if
someones nger was continuously
pushing it. I opened the door but
nobody was there so I dismissed it as
faulty electrics. However, I reached my

on by itself. I rang my other half and

large crowd is packed into an airy Manhattan lof, waiting for

Jennifer Lopez. They are tense, excited, dgety. Beefy security guards
talk into discreet mics. TV crews in dad jeans mill around. Jennifer,
currently stuck in trafc, is due to preview her autumn clothing line
for [US store] Kohls. Everything on the silver rack glitters: draped
shirts with sparkly sequins, handbags with major hardware; even
the bedspreads from her home line have a cool, metallic shimmer.
Suddenly the group surges forward.

Jennifer! Shes wearing an inky, slinky
black halter jumpsuit (Kohls, of course),
black platform stilettos and bright-pink
lipstick. A bystander compliments her
outt. I love a onesie, she says.From
childhood on, I never let it go! She is
friendly and funny but also utterly serene
despite the chaos swirling around her.
She does a few quick TV interviews
and then joins me to inspect the merch.
She picks up a pair of leopard-print
pumps and eyes them critically.When
we started, the shoes were OK, but now
theyre getting better, she says.I feel
like you shouldnt be in something if
youre not always trying to make it
better. The clothes, which debuted at
Kohls in autumn 2011, are really very
her lots of cream and dove grey, dolman
sleeves, prints in South Beach pastels.
My style is a little more embellished,
but I have to remember always that my
world is not everybodys world, she says.
When she talks about clothes, Jennifer,
44, gets a dreamy look. One slightly nutty
thing she likes to do, she tells me, is take
hours packing for a trip endlessly
putting together outts for herself and
her ve-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

everything: TV, lm, music, fashion and
a 20-fragrance beauty empire with Coty.
This year, she launched a chain of
mobile-phone stores in America, as well
as a new TV channel there, NUVOtv.
Shes also made headlines for less
savoury projects this year, drawing re
for taking high-paying gigs in repressive
countries, such as Turkmenistan, where
she sang for the presidents birthday party
in June. While she hasnt volunteered
anything about returning or donating
her fee, shes ready to admit for the rst
time that the appearance was a mistake.
I know that being seen as a role model
means taking responsibility for all my
actions, she says.I am human, and of
course, sometimes I make mistakes. But I
promise that when I fall, I get back up.
When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson
and move on to face other challenges.

fashion, came roaring back in 2011 afer
her stint as American Idols nice judge.
(I hate this, she moaned when she rst
rejected a contestant.I want to go
home.) Twenty-ve million people saw
her each week, and now with a return
to Idol for its 13th season, her eighth
studio album out next year, more product
lines, an executive-producing credit on
ABC Familys The Fosters and a steppedup lm career, including a signicant role
in The 33, the tale of the Chilean miners
her mojo is more potent than ever.
She feels it most intensely when shes
the creative force in a business meeting.
Everybody in there might be more
business-minded, but for me, if Im
talking about marketing or promotion
or why a piece of clothing is made, it all
comes from an emotion, she says. Im
more of an artist, so when Im able to use
that muscle, I feel like Im in my element.
It pains her that other women are ofen
so hesitant to tap into their own power.
We give away our power so much
even in love with men, she says. And
its always looked down on in the world
for women to be powerful they get
labelled as difcult or bitchy.

A MOTHERS LOVE
We meet up again at New Yorks Plaza

Hotel a few weeks later. Jennifer is
receiving the Humanitarian Award
from the HIV/AIDS foundation amfAR,
in honour of her work with the
non-prot Lopez Family Foundation,
which works to expand womens and
kids access to health care.
Flashbulbs go daylight-bright as the
guest of honour arrives, poured into a
Tom Ford gown, her hair in a sleek pony.
She poses, laughing at the wolf whistles.
The room goes dark, and the face of
Lopezs friend Ricky Martin lls a screen.
He explains that when Jennifer and her
sister Lynda had babies at the same
time, they decided to start their charity
to help other new mums. When he calls
her name, she takes a deep breath, heads
for the podium, and without notes,
delivers a long, eloquent speech about
the work of the foundation.
Aferwards, she says she was trying not
to cry.Im emotional that way, she says.
She only stumbled when she talked
about Lynda.I just love and respect her
so much, she says.Shes a single mom
but not like Im a single mom. I have a
lot of help she doesnt. I always ask,
Do you need anything? And shes like,
Im good. But I know shes exhausted.
The crowd gets louder as the drinks
ow. Not Jennifer, however. She doesnt
drink, doesnt smoke, never has.
Once it gets past 12, she says, laughing,
Im like, oh, its getting late. If youre
hanging around some afer-party until

the wee hours, how are you supposed to
take ve meetings in a row the next day?
HAVING HIGH STANDARDS
A week later, Lopez calls me from her

home in LA, winding down afer a rare
day of. She says she keeps meaning to
go on holiday, but somehow never does.
Luckily, she combined business with
pleasure during last years tour. Smart
was supervising choreographer, so the
two would grab time between shows
dinner in London, a club in Istanbul.
For me, its about having a great
partner to walk this life with, she says
of Smart, whom she calls her best
friend.I have my own high standards
for what I want in a partner and how I
want to be treated. I bring a lot to the
table. Im not talking about the material
things but what I have to ofer as a
person love and loyalty and all the
things that make a good relationship.
And when she commits to a man, she
gives herself completely.Its funny, early
on with Beau, I remember telling him
how I have a real button on being
ignored, she says.And he was like,
Listen, if somebody ignores you, then
forget them. They dont deserve to have
your attention. But its funny. Sometimes
when we dont get it, we try to get it in
a negative way, you know?
Chasing guys who ignore us, I say,
lounging on my bed.So many of us do
that in our twenties.
And then it becomes a habit, and
youre like,Why am I still doing this?
I know, right? I say, inspecting my
pedicure. I could go on talking to her
for a few more hours, but the kids rush
into her room. One is crying.What?
What? she says, putting the phone down.
Once again, she must leave. The twins
need to go to bed.Im of to bed too, I
tell her.Are you?Well, no, she says.
She has one more thing to do: shimmy
into sparkly skintight trousers and an
abs-baring bra top and jump in a limo for
the Hollywood Bowl, where Pitbull, her
collaborator, is doing a show. Sometime
before 11pm, shell burst on stage in a
surprise appearance as reworks explode
and the crowd loses its collective mind.
In other words, just a normal Tuesday.

e all know women

earn less than men
(see p46), but how
do you think your
boss (male or
female) would react if you burst into
their ofce with I want equal pay
daubed across your braless body?
They certainly couldnt claim they
were unaware that you had a
grievance, but would it really give
you a bigger pay cheque?
If you arent familiar with Femen,
its a controversial feminist group
whose stock-in-trade is protesting
and making headlines with their
naked chests, oral hair garlands and
slogans daubed on their bodies.Our
mission is protest, our weapons are bare
breasts, runs their slogan. They have
eight branches across Europe, Canada
and Central and South America, and
say their next stop is the UK.
They say they ght patriarchy
in its three manifestations sexual
exploitation, dictatorship and religion,
and have ambushed right-wing rallies,
mosques even a meeting with
Russian president Vladimir Putin. But
do they shock the world into taking
notice or merely titillate the men
theyre protesting about?
They are, without doubt, brave:
they claim they have been severely
beaten, harassed, kidnapped and
threatened for their protests. During
one mission to Belarus, they were
arrested by secret agents, stripped,
humiliated and abandoned in a
forest close to the Ukrainian border,
according to a recent lm about

them. But they say the lack of clothes
is fundamental to their message.
We started to see the deeper symbolic
efect of being topless to put our
bodies inside a political context and
make a point that they can say
something, says Inna Shevchenko,
one of Femens most inuential
members.Its not to please someone,
its always to express aggression and
in this way we crush all the sexist,
trivial views about womens bodies.
But to add to the controversy are
stories that Femen was founded and
controlled by a man. Victor Svyatski,
known as a consultant to Femen, was
their mastermind, according to Kitty
Green, who has made a documentary,
Ukraine Is Not A Brothel, about the
group.He hand-picked the prettiest
girls because the prettiest girls sell
more papers that became their
image; that became the way they sold
the brand, she claims.
Inna says he was part of their
movement, but was not a founder of
their topless strategy. However, she
says, the power he gained within the
group was indicative of how men
and women behave in the Ukraine.
Having been born in a country in
which feminism was unknown, we
just accepted a man taking control of
us because we didnt know how to
resist and ght, Inna says.Since I
lef Ukraine for Paris to build a new
Femen, Svyatski has not been involved.
So are Femen inspiring ghters for
the feminist cause, or deluded?

Given Femens knack of getting on to
the front pages, you might think Id
object to their method of protesting.
Afer all, I support the No More Page 3
campaign. But youd be wrong.
Like the women in Femen, Page 3
models are beautiful and half-naked. But
the similarities end there. Page 3 models
dont have a voice. Theyre presented as

beautiful, silent, submissive bodies.
Femen roar and shout and snarl. They
punch the air and scrawl messages on
their bare skin. Theres no doubt over
what they want and what they will do
to get it. They are in charge.
By presenting female nudity in a
narrow light, we tell women their bodies
are not their own; they exist only for the
sexual gratication of others. So while
the members of Femen dont break out of
the blonde, beautiful paradigm, at least
theyre using their bodies for themselves.

Pete Paphides, journalist

and husband of feminist
writer Caitlin Moran
I start to feel very uneasy
when any man tells a
feminist how they should go about
conducting their brand of feminism.
But a cursory look at the comments
beneath any article about Femen reveals
many dont share the same unease.Your
weapons of mass distraction are mainly
distracting us from the message you try to
bring across a male response to a piece
by Femen member Inna Shevchenko in
The Guardian is fairly typical. And yet

the fact that theyve grabbed headlines
and spearheaded a global debate
endangering no one but themselves
is testament to their method.
When I see footage of protestors
squaring up to Vladimir Putin, I dont see
sensationalist frivolity but unbelievable
bravery. For generations, womens bodies
have been used to sell anything from
newspapers to sports cars. Whats
surprising about a global movement that
sees women reclaiming their bodies in
this way is that it didnt happen sooner.
There must be
a better way

Bryony Gordon, journalist

My initial thought on
Femen was,What a load of
plonkers. Its sad that they
have to use their bodies like
this. It risks their being undermined.
Theres grabbing headlines because your
message is getting through, and theres
grabbing headlines because youve got
your tits out which I think is all
theyre achieving at the moment. I
suppose that almost proves their point.
I doubt Femen will take of in Britain.
Theres a diferent view of womens
bodies in countries where people dont
think twice about sunbathing topless, but
were a bit more buttoned-up literally. I
cant imagine topless women parading
up Whitehall and anyone actually
asking to know more about the cause.

I was immediately intrigued
by Femen as Ive always
been a womens-rights activist, and I
was in awe of them particularly as its
quite a dangerous method of protesting.
I was slightly scared of the police at my
rst protest, as they can get nasty. But
taking my top of didnt feel wrong its
part of our uniform. Ive taken part in
lots of actions, including protesting
against dictatorship and political
repression in Ukraine.
None of the people close to me are
surprised Im in Femen, but I have to
defend my position when I meet new
people. I hope to take part in
actions in Britain soon.

Femen knew the risks, just like we did.
The most successful campaigns have
always been the most radical, such as
the Sufragettes. Ten years ago, people
werent talking about fathers rights,
and now they are because of our
tactics. I think its great for Femens

Inna Shevchenko, one of

Femens most inuential
members, ed her native
Ukraine after chainsawing
a crucix in Kievs main
square, in protest against
the Pussy Riot arrests in 2012. Shes since
started a Femen training camp in France.
I joined Femen in 2009 when I met up with
some other Ukrainian women who were
fed up of walking in the street and being
harassed by tourists for sex. We were just a
group of normal girls who were outraged.
So we started protesting against the sex
industry in Ukraine, but we didnt start our
topless action until 2010. I was against it to
begin with, as we are ghting against
objectifying the female body. I was also
worried about the reaction of my family
and my friends Id already lost a
media-relations job after taking part in a
protest. At the time, I only thought of the
naked body as sexual. But through
researching the best way to make a stand,
I came around to the idea of using my
body as a political weapon.
When I rst took part in a topless action
[this is what Femen call their protests], I
didnt feel naked. When your breasts are
out in front of an armed policemen, you
give a strong message to the world. We are
strict activists. Our goal is to destroy the
sexist way of viewing our bodies.
Victor Svyatski was part of Femen but
he was not the creator of our topless
strategy. The Femen ght still involves
men, but we only allow those who support
us, not dominate us.
Im getting more and more emails from
British women who want to see Femen in
London. We opened a
training centre for Femen
activists in Paris in 2012
and recently we held an
international meeting
between eight branches.
To those who say
were disrespectful,
I would say its

say women
cant do what

text? Yup. Only this isnt a
edgling relationship
this is the intense, emotional tug many
of us feel when we think weve just
found our new BFF.
Carlin Flora, friendship expert and
author of Frienduence, says,We cherish
and connect with our long-term friends,
but a ing is characterised by that
intense feeling of She gets me! Its
thrilling to see a part of yourself
perfectly reected in someone else.
Women such as Susanna Davastovu,
27, admit they thrive on nding that
special connection even if it is only
eeting. I love having diSerent people
in my life, she says.I put myself out
there and form tight friendships
quickly, even if they dont last. I was so
close with a girl I met while travelling
that, afer four weeks, wed decided to
be each others bridesmaids. I cried at
the airport when we said goodbye. But
then she visited a year later and our
friendship wasnt the same.
The great thing about friendship
ings is the guilt-free connection, says
Carlin you can enjoy the moment
without panicking about the future.
Unlike relationships, which are
dominated by questions such as,
The girls knew

Wheres this going?, friendships dont

have to be exclusive, Carlin says.
Commitment is only an issue if
asymmetry develops, such as if your
friend becomes needy or fails to get
back to you. You have to decide if you
want to confront her or move on.
And if youre struck by an attack of
jealousy, dont be surprised.In early
tribes, we built friendships to survive. It
was imperative to pick someone who
would be our ally in a conict, says
Carlin.So if we see a friend getting
close to someone else, our primitive
emotional systems kick in and we
worry about being demoted. Its a
deep-seated reason why we feel so
threatened in these situations.
If the friendship does crash and burn,
Carlin says its important to be realistic.
Just because you had an hilarious
twerk-oS with her one night doesnt
mean youre going to be compatible in
every context.You might not be
kindred spirits when faced with multidimensional versions of each other, so
meeting up in other circumstances
could be awkward, says Carlin.
And if it is, let it go and focus on the
positive.With all of my friendship
ings, Ive learnt something about
myself in a short period of time, says
Susanna,even if its just what I like or
dislike. Thats a real perk.

its Not just sex

Writer Nirpal
DhaliWal regularly
slept with other
women while married
to his now ex-wife,
newspaper columnist
liz Jones. here he
sheds light on why some men are
tempted to stray
As the former husband of a tell-all
columnist, I gained notoriety for my
multiple indelities. But unlike most
men, I never hid my marital status from
the women I slept with. I never took of
my ring, nor denied being married. The
only woman I ever lied to was my wife;
something Im not proud of, and have
increasingly regretted.
Look beneath the surface of why men
cheat and you nd a much more
complicated story than the mere
fullling of a carnal urge.
It was about forgetting my life for
a few hours, says Alex, a business
analyst.Im married with two small
children, and sometimes I just want to
feel like the lad I was in my twenties. If
I tell women I meet on a night out Im
married, I feel I have to act according to
a certain role: the responsible husband.
All the spontaneity disappears. I feel as
if I cant irt, dance or joke with them
and like theyre judging me for being
out and having fun. So I adopt a
persona. I pretend Im single and then
I can let loose a little.
The only time I
was unfaithful was
with a married
colleague the sex
just lef me feeling
gutted and guiltridden. The truth is, I
dont go looking for
women but, when Im
having fun, women
want to talk to me.

great drug. When youre married, you

can feel taken for granted.
Michael, a married copywriter, ended
up going home with a woman he met
at a party.She asked me, very boldly, I
hope youre not married? and I said no
without thinking. I took my ring of
when she wasnt looking and from then
on I just played a part. Michael ended
up having an afair with the woman,
and throughout he pretended to
be a single
man living
with friends.
It was absurd,
he tells me.
From that
initial lie, I
had to tell so
many others.
I had to make up reasons why I couldnt
see her, so I invented a new job for
myself. I felt I was juggling a dozen
live hand grenades, waiting for one to
explode and kill me. Im denitely
never doing that again.
But not all men follow the phony
bachelor routine. There are those like
me who didnt b. The fact is, a mans
wedding ring isnt an automatic
deterrent. Being married was no
impediment and might, indeed, have
been of assistance in my misbehaviour.
As I said, my ring remained on, and
none of the women asked until aMer the
red line was crossed. I certainly never
used the my wife doesnt understand
me shtick to woo or explain myself. I
dont know what if any appeal my
being married presented. It wasnt the
challenge, because I really didnt put up
a ght. Maybe it was the clarity of
knowing where they stood, or curiosity
about what sort of man would do such
a thing. And a wedding ring is, I
suppose, a sign that a man has at least
been adequately road-tested and
functions well in some departments.

day at a new school,
aged 16. My painful
shyness inevitably led to
painful unpopularity, but
Tom exuded a condence
I was immediately drawn
to. Every time he so much
as asked to borrow a Biro,
I felt my heart pounding.
Then school nished, we
went our separate ways and
he faded into history. So it
felt like fate when, on my
way home from a bad date
a decade later, I saw Tom
chatting to some friends
at a Tube station. Hed
sprouted a beard and
put on a bit of weight,
but I recognised him
immediately.
I was so surprised I ducked
behind a ticket machine.
From my hiding place I
pulled myself together and
decided to say hello; its not

an adult reality at last?

I couldnt believe it.
We arranged to go on
a date and I buzzed with
excitement. But to my
surprise, come date night
although we had a nice
enough time instead of
going boom! all my heart
could muster was a lacklustre
meh. While Id erased from
memory the unhappy two
years Id spent at sixth form,
Tom rattled on about old
schoolmates he remained
close to. These included the
INSTEAD OF
GOING BOOM
ALL MY HEART

boy who had given me a
note scrawled with the three
little words every teenage
girl longs to read: YOUR
[sic] A LOSER.
I knew as soon as we
shared our rst kiss that
things werent quite right.
Instead of simply enjoying it,
I felt delighted with myself
for having achieved what I
Sarah hoped
shed still be
able to read her
horoscope under
all that ketchup
couldnt at school. Even so,

I said yes when he asked to
see me again. I guess I got a
kick out of dating Tom afer
hankering afer him for all
those years.
Soon my old if onlys were
replaced with new ones: if
only he were more like the
man Id imagined him to be.
If only, at 27, he didnt still
live with his parents
Deep down I knew that
Tom wasnt the man of my
dreams. Yet somehow the
geeky schoolgirl in me just
couldnt let go. I do like him,
I told myself (and him), even
as it became increasingly
difcult to convince my
heart he was right for me.
But whenever I resolved to
end it, hed surprise me with
a kind gesture (like the time
he gave me a mix CD hed
compiled especially for me
even though every single
track on it was thrash metal).
Afer a few months,
though, I realised it had to
end, and so I initiated The
Talk.I want more, need

more, I lied, knowing he
wanted to keep things casual.
But in reality, I didnt want
him, Id simply wanted him
to want me, just as I had
wanted him at school. I felt
like I owed it to my shy
16-year-old self.
I nally acknowledged
what Id known all along: I
had been blindly clinging to
a decade-old fantasy instead
of seeing things as they really
were. Yes, as a teenager Id
lusted afer Tom, but as a
26-year-old, had I met this
man for the rst time I
wouldnt have considered
swapping numbers, let alone
bodily uids.
Eventually, I hit unfriend
on Facebook, consigning
Tom to the past again.
Ive learnt that letting go
of your if onlys is not easy
but it made me realise its
never good to keep looking
back. Ahead is where youll
nd your future.

ONE GIRL,
ONE GUY,
,
ONE BED
ONE
WEEK
So just what did happen?
Writers Luke and Helen have been friends for years, and are just
good mates. But could sharing a bed for seven nights change all that?
fer seven years,

three holidays
and many
drunken nights,
Luke and I are
super-close. Hes single; Im
single but were just mates.
Oh, and we live together too.
Hes tall, handsome and I
can see hes (a bit) hot most
of my friends fancy him. But
unfortunately, I dont.
So imagine my surprise
when on a night in the pub
with our friends, were asked
the same old question: Why
dont you guys just have sex?
and instead of our usual,
because were not attracted
to each other auto-response,
Luke drops a bombshell.If

we shared a bed for a week, I
think wed end up sleeping
together, he declares.
Whats more, research
suggests he might be right. A
study at the University of
Pittsburgh found that sharing
a bed promotes feelings of
safety and security. And its
been proven to boost
oxytocin, the love hormone,
to bring people closer.
Even so, the idea still seems
crazy. How can sleeping next
to a man I dont really fancy
turn him into someone I want
sex with? But Im curious.
What if Mr Right really has
been under my nose all along?

anyway, so what would it
take to cross that line?
But as we lie there staring
into each others eyes,
trying to see each other in
a new way, we both start
giggling. Well, they say
laughter is the best way to
get a woman into bed.
Wait, Ive already got her
into bed. And weve got six
more nights to see if it
becomes something more.
HELEN When Luke comes
in wearing his checked
PJs, he looks more like an
actor in a naf toothpaste
ad than a possible Mr
Helen. As we lay in bed, I
sense him edging closer
and it all feels a bit weird.
Maybe afer a few days Ill
feel diferently I glance
at Luke and he suddenly
swoops in and pulls me
towards him so were face
to face. I think the time I
walked in on two of my
teachers snogging during
a school trip to Holland
was less awkward.
LUKE Ive just

come back from
a date where I
didnt reach rst
base. Finding Helen in bed
apparently on the point of
dozing of, I climb in next to
her, and with the six vodkas
still swirling in my brain and
feeling like I could do with
a cuddle, I inch up to her
sleeping back, idly slipping a
hand round her waist.
She responds with a grunt
and a playful shove that says,
I kinda like that.
Well who wouldnt fancy a
half-cut, horny man looking
for possible no-strings action
afer being blown out?
Okay, turns out Helen
wouldnt. When I try gently
nuzzling her neck, her
disgruntled response
contains several expletives.
HELEN When Im woken
up by the sound of Luke
tripping over something
in the hall, I realise the last
thing I want is a drunken
man on my case, so I pretend
LUKE Amlie,
Hagen-Dazs,

yes, were having
a date night. And surely this
combination would melt any
girls heart? Helens been
complaining about a sore
neck, so I gently rub her
shoulders as she devours her
ice cream. This feels weird,
she says. I kind of agree but

Im enjoying myself.Dont
worry, I reply, pushing her
pressure points as I begin a
heartfelt anecdote about
splitting with my ex.
You never told me that
before, she says. But as I
lean closer, I knock the oil
all over the sheets. Cue a lot
of shouting about Egyptian
cotton and 90-degree washes.
HELEN Im not sure if its just
my muscles relaxing, but Luke
massaging me feels oddly
nice. We talk about exes and
where we see ourselves in
ve years, and both admit
wed like to be settled with a
partner and kids. I really
enjoy my single life, but (oil
spill aside) our date night
makes me realise I do crave
someone to ll the boyfriend
role. Surely that person
couldnt be Luke could it?

LUKE After a
long day, Im
knackered.
This is when
Id normally
want some stress-relieving, nofrills sex. I wonder whether I
could do that with Helen and
whether shed want it too.
Then she gets home with a
face that says, If I so much as
glimpse your testicles, trust
me, I will punch them.
Sadly, all she wants to do is
regale me with the worlds
longest story about the girl in
her oSce who is allergic to
sunower seeds. After about
half an hour with my back to
her, she nally stops talking
does she want a kiss? But
when I turn round, lips
puckered, shes fast asleep.

got nice boobs. As I reel of

her qualities, I realise theyre
exactly the things I look for in
a girlfriend. After being single
for months, its actually nice to
have someone to share my
bed with. As we talk, she falls
asleep with her head on my
shoulder, and I wonder if we
actually could work as a
couple after all
HELEN I cant remember the
last time Luke paid me a
compliment, but I think it
was in 2008 when he dared
me to eat 15 jalapeos in a
row and I managed it
without being sick. But Im a
romantic. Im not looking for
the rst man who tells me
Im pretty. I did think the idea
that I might suddenly fancy
Luke after all this time was
ridiculous, but I have to admit
its been nice spending extra
time with him. It does feel like
weve become closer but
theres still no sexual attraction.
I think that if I really wanted to
see Luke naked, it would have
happened years ago. Still, Im
pretty cosy and I fall asleep on
my new bed buddy mid-chat.
LUKE I know Helen. I know what she looks for

in a man, I know what she wants out of a
relationship, and I know Im not too far of it.
Yesterday, I felt maybe she was beginning to
realise that too. So instead of making the most of our last
night by stripping naked and waiting for her with nothing
but a smile, I decide to talk it out.
As we chat about the week, laughing at my lame attempts
at romance and her outrageous version of Crazy In Love, I
think we both realise were much better as friends than lovers.
In truth, Im glad it didnt happen. Sleeping with Helen
would be fun, but our friendship would never be the same. I
may not have succeeded in seducing her, but I know, with a
little luck, I denitely could have. Damn that oil
HELEN Its judgement day. I could sleep with Luke just to see,
and put it down to experience, but would I really be able to do
so without judging myself? Ive known all along the answer is
no. I always try to follow my heart and, no matter how much
I love Luke as a friend, romantically its never going to lead
me to him. We spend our last sleepover doing what we do
best: chatting nonsense and having silly arguments. Its good
to be back to how we always were, and should be. I might
have won the challenge, but not having sex means that
neither of us has lost. Lukes nally going back to his own
room and were both relieved. Now he can drop crumbs all
he wants and I get the whole duvet to myself. Bliss!
LUKE Its
Friday night
and, afer going
to the pub
together, Helen and I tumble
through the front door, she
screeching Beyonc while I
do my best Jay-Z impression.
I seize the moment and
instigate a little drunken
horseplay, pushing her on
the bed. As she falls back she
grabs my collar, bringing me
down on top of her.
Suddenly were face to face,
our lips so close I can taste
the salt and lemon on her
breath.You know, you are
beautiful, I nd myself
saying. For once its not a
line; just what Im thinking.
And as I inch closer, this
time she isnt laughing.
No, she says quietly,
turning and rolling away.
As I lie awake, I ask myself
what would happen if I did
actually sleep with her. How
NIGHT
would it change things and

for better or worse?
HELEN I get a little irty with
Luke. As I pull him towards
me, he looks unsure if Im
serious or not. And for a few
seconds Im not sure either.
I wonder if hes a good
kisser but then my senses
kick in. Good friendships
take time and patience, and
Im really proud of ours. A
pub-fuelled kiss and a fumble
under the sheets could
destroy that in minutes.

Victoria Fox
Lindsey Kelk
With multiple Sunday

Times best-sellers under
her belt, its hard to believe
Lisa penned her rst book,
Ralphs Party, for a bet. She
now has over a million
book sales to her name
and has written 11 novels
the latest being The
House We Grew Up In.
Bringing back the

bonkbuster, Victoria
comes recommended
by the queen of the
genre, Jackie Collins
herself. And now shes
ready to spill on just
what goes into writing
a steamy, sexy
best-seller.
Author of the megapopular I Heart

series, Lindsey is an
international success,
with books translated
into 20 languages. An
ex-childrens book
editor, she now has nine
novels to her name, and
a humungous fanbase.
Tasmina wrote her rst

book, Daddys Girls, while
on honeymoon, and it
went straight into the
Sunday Times best-seller
list. A career chameleon,
she was previously a
lawyer and a journalist.
Her eighth novel, The
Proposal, is out soon.

(OK, Im boasting),
Im awesome at online
shopping. My genius plan
this month? Bulk buying,
from tinned peas to face
wipes. Yes, my at would
soon resemble a WWIII
bunker. Or so I thought...
Groceries
Experts say grocery shopping
online is cheaper because
were less inuenced by
impulse buys, so technically
Im already winning, right?
First stop: Mysupermarket.
co.uk, where you ll a virtual
shopping trolley and
compare the costs of major
supermarkets. My trolley of
items ranged from 39.51 in
Asda to 50.46 in Waitrose.
Tesco wasnt cheapest (43)
but its delivery times were
convenient (and Ive got a
Clubcard). Next I typed
Tesco into cashback site
Quidco.com. Cashback sites
are basically middle men;
instead of buying directly
from a retailer, you get paid a
fee (between 3-6% of the
products cost) for buying it
via the cashback site. All
current omers from that
retailer are displayed I
chose 12 om 60 grocery
spend + 5 cashback. Because
Im unlikely to spend 60,
my housemate and I teamed
up. Thanks to the 12
discount and 5 cashback,
our 66 shop
emectively cost
49 (and we
got 66 Clubcard
points). Downside?
Some omers are only for
new customers, so loyalty
doesnt always pay.
Fashion
Im in need of some new
tees. My go-to store is Urban
Outtters, so I Googled
Urban Outtters discount
code and voil a 15%
discount code appeared. Two
T-shirts normally costing 58
came to 50.30 (including 1
delivery) wahoo. I forgot to
use Quidco, though. Oops.
London Travelcard online

(boo), and I didnt save cash
by booking train tickets
online unless I specied dates
in advance. But one positive
was that my stringent only

couldnt get a black cab ajer

saving me 12 (but giving me
two blisters. Ouch).

(both with free delivery), and
even cheaper on Amazon:
11.28 (also with free
delivery). Score.
Beauty
My favourite shampoo,
Krastase Bain Satin, is
16.50 at the hairdressers
opposite our ohce, but I got
it for 11.52 online (with

HOW I GOT ON
Confession time: I cheated. It

was a pretty ambitious task
and I obviously had to go into
a shop (or, er, 10) at some
point. Who has the time or
inclination to purchase and
prepare a months worth of
meals in advance or work out
when your razor rells are
likely to need replenishing?
Theres undoubtedly huge
saving potential but, like
anything, planning is key.
However, I reckon I saved at
least 100 by avoiding the
shops at lunchtime alone.

Get your pulse racing

A brisk walk or 20 minutes of morning
exercise, from yoga to cycling, kick-starts

Early starter
Task tackling
Whether its having time to make a

quick cuppa, ve minutes of internet
shopping or just having a quick sort
out, studies show that starting your
working day early signicantly
boosts productivity.
According to research, this is your most

productive point of the day, making it
the perfect time to tackle that project
youve been putting of or de-clutter
your inbox with all the
emails youve been
avoiding.

Schedule
your day
At the start of the day, write
a to-do list, going from the
task that requires the most energy
to the one that requires the least,
explains Oliver. Theres a link
between organisation and
energy, and doing your more
important tasks when your
energy is at its peak will make
your day run more efciently.

Your choice of breakfast dictates your

energy, focus and productivity for the
day ahead, explains nutritionist
Charlotte Palmer. Avoid toast, pastries
and most cereals, as their high gluten
content requires a lot of energy to break
down when digesting. Instead, include
protein, such as eggs with salmon on rye
bread, or have porridge with cinnamon
and apple. And step away from the fruit
juice it spikes blood-sugar levels.

3PM
Afernoon lull
One or two cups of cofee isnt the end

of the world but it only gives you a
short-term energy lif and is a drain on
the hormones that respond to stress.
Dehydration will make you sluggish,
so Charlotte suggests plenty of water
and coconut water for the ultimate
isotonic (mineral- and salt-replacing)
hydrating drink. And try a handful of
nuts the magnesium is a good
pick-me-up and reduces stress.
6PM
Getting boozy
More than one glass of wine afects

quality of sleep so, if youre out for
post-work drinks, Oliver recommends
drinking water with each glass to avoid
dehydration and aiming to stop drinking
two hours before you go to bed.
8PM

12.30PM
Healthy lunch
Grab lunch an hour before an important

task, in order to allow your body to digest it
and turn it into fuel, explains Charlotte. If
your afternoon work requires a clear head,
heavy carbs may drain energy by 3pm.
1PM
Reach for the Lycra
For the ultimate energy boost, hit the

gym or park for some exercise at
lunchtime. Research has shown that
people who do this feel more
productive and dont experience the
dreaded mid-afernoon slump.
COSMO
ONLINE
Technology causes you to be overstimulated, explains Oliver,so close

your laptop or log of from whatever
youre doing 30 minutes before bed to
stop the blue light emitted from
gadgets afecting your melatonin levels.
Melatonin levels peak the darker it gets
and make you feel less alert perfect
conditions for a great nights sleep.
11PM
Hit the hay
A regular sleep routine at least

four times a week is important,
says Oliver. Aim for 7-9 hours
during those nights. Getting 1.5
hours less of night-time sleep
could reduce how alert you are in
the day by as much as 32%!

I was promised lots of perks

What should I do?
Janey, London
Karren says: Situations like this

are common, which is why its
important to get any kind of
benets in writing before starting
a job. In this instance, youve got
to speak to your bosses. Tell them
youre concerned that they havent
honoured their promises but that
they were one of the reasons you
accepted the job. If your company is
experiencing nancial restraints
and argue they cant aford these
perks, its still important to broach
the issue. Ask for a timescale too,
otherwise your bosses can argue
that it will happen, but nothing will
come of it. If the promised perks
cant be met, ofer other suggestions
instead. And always check your
facts; dont storm into your bosss
ofce because of rumours youll
come across as misinformed and
very unprofessional.

JOB BAKER
A typical day
Baking has always been my
passion. At uni I studied
medical microbiology, then got
a job in pharmaceutical PR, but
spent all my spare time in the
kitchen making cakes and
biscuits. I managed to take
holiday to shadow Peggy
Porschen (an amazing cake
guru) for a month before
deciding to turn my hobby into
a business. I learnt as many
techniques as I could going
to decorating classes in the
evenings and watching endless
YouTube videos and baked
cakes for friends birthdays and
weddings until Id saved up
enough money to quit my job.
At rst I worked from my
kitchen at home, but now I rent
a small unit as I need a lot
more oven space! Bees Bakery
specialises in cakes and biscuits,
and Im best known for my
word Jammie Biscuits, which
are stocked everywhere from
local delis to Harvey Nichols
and Selfridges. They came about
because I was making some one
day and asked my hung-over
atmate what word I should
stamp out of the top of one. He
said a rude word and aSer
putting a photo online, I was
COSMO
ONLINE
I call it Bikram baking

as the kitchen gets so hot
inundated with requests.
Theyre still our most popular
item; one girl even requested a
batch saying,Will you marry me?
As the business expanded I
took on staT and now have two
part-time bakers and one
delivery guy working with me.
On top of the baking, my
days are always varied I can
be doing anything from taking
orders and making deliveries to
visiting wholesalers to pick up
ingredients. I make wedding
cakes too, so clients oSen visit
for tasting sessions or to discuss
ideas. Im currently working
on a ower-fetti cake (with
edible ower petals), which
someone requested I always
say yes to new ideas.
People always ask why Im
not fat, but I work with around
70kg of dough a week shiSing

that keeps you very t! I call it
Bikram baking because the
kitchen gets so hot that its like
doing Bikram yoga. Its hard to
switch oT aSer a long day
sometimes Im here till 10pm
and when I get home I love
looking at Pinterest or design
magazines for new biscuit ideas.
The good
Im always learning it never
stops. The feeling when we get a
new customer or I come up with
a new design is really exciting.
The bad
It can be physically exhausting
and the hours are long. Its not
that glamorous either Ive got
countless burns and scars! And
staying motivated can be tough.
STILL
INTERESTED?
Qualications A lot
of bakers do Cordon
Bleu courses, but
they can be pricey
and time-consuming.
If youre self-taught,
night school, work
experience and web
tutorials are brilliant.
Salary Professional
bakers can earn
20,000-30,000,
but running your
own business ofers
greater potential.
Key skills Resilience
some people may
not like what you do
or want to stock your
products. Sales skills
and basic accounting
knowledge are
important too.

Mostly As = GREEN
Mostly Bs = BLUE
Hello, high standards and organisation! You have an

Analytical Style. You value facts above all and rarely take
risks. You like order and organisation, a good checklist, and
folders within folders. Fuss and attention? No thanks!
WORK IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Your ability to logically solve problems, and your eye for
facts and gures makes you
the go-to gal for seeing the
bigger picture. Youre clear and
concise, which means youre
always ofering logical options.
IF YOUR COLLEAGUE
IS A GREEN
Avoid going over to their
desk every ve minutes or
bombarding them with emails,
as greens love their space. Cut
to the chase and dont pressure
them for answers. It pays to be
on time with meetings and calls.
If providing feedback, make it
precise and backed by facts.
You have an Amiable Style. Youre a warm people person

and care more about close relationships than results or
inuence. You tend to be laid-back and enjoy working in a
team, which is why trust is so important to you.
Network, network, network. Make the most of your
friendly attitude by gaining
the trust and respect of your
colleagues (and your boss).
Youll soon be the most wellconnected person in the oSce!
IF YOUR COLLEAGUE IS A BLUE
Handle any issues you might
have with them in private and
approach conict carefully.
Blues dont tend to voice their
opinions, so look at their body
language, which might better
reveal whether theyre uncertain
about an idea. Prompt a response
by asking them what they think
on the matter.
Mostly Cs = RED
Mostly Ds = YELLOW
You have a Driving Style; youre a practical thinker, want to

move quickly and have the nal say. Youre competitive and
strong-willed, so not someone to be messed with when it
comes to business. In relationships, some might call you a
closed book because you dont easily show emotion.
Being enthusiastic and a natural leader means you should
put yourself forward to take
charge when it comes to
projects or discussions. But
dont be too forceful with your
opinions either.
IF YOUR COLLEAGUE IS A RED
Earn their trust by following
up on promises and showing
them that youre competent.
When talking to them or
explaining ideas, leave out
feelings and stick to the facts.
Reds can be quite hard to keep
track of, so arrange regular
meetings to keep up to date
on their progress.
If you have an Expressive Style you are motivated by

recognition and reputation. You tend to be chatty,
ambitious and approachable. Youre fast-paced, continually
excited about the next big idea, but dont ofen commit or
see things through to the end. You may also have a little
drama queen in you.
Channel your passion and
persuasiveness into something
positive! Your charm and
condence means youre good at
making presentations.
IF YOUR COLLEAGUE IS A YELLOW
Laugh and lighten up around
them theyll help you see
the bigger work picture. You can
be honest with them; they ofen
make great friends outside of
work. Learn from them and
make the most of their creative
abilities by listening to their
thoughts and opinions, or
channelling their creativity.

How did you meet?

G A R T H Afer rst seeing Tess in our
local pub, I noticed her coming out of a
class at the gym we were both members
of. I had to nd a way of speaking to her,
so went to the class without knowing
what it was it turned out to be yoga.
I persevered, going ve times a week,
until I managed to chat to Tess.
T E S S When this attractive guy with

the most adorable curly hair turned
up at my yoga class, I couldnt stop
looking at him, mostly because he
kept falling over! We ended up talking
afer a class. Then he started turning up
to all my yoga classes they became the
highlight of my week.
How did things develop?

G
We spent a lot of time chatting afer

yoga classes. Then I went to Asia for a
few weeks but spent every day emailing
and messaging Tess, so our relationship
developed long-distance. The night I
got back, we met up for our rst date.
We spent time as friends to begin

with, but I knew there was more to it.
When Garth went travelling, I had time
to think it all through and I knew I
wanted us to date when he got back.
Live together in London
How did Garths engagement video come about?

G
I wanted her to feel special, but I

knew she would suspect something if
I suddenly booked a trip, so I came up
with the idea of booking her on a fake
modelling job. It took months to
organise everything from location to
ights and I wanted to lm the journey.

media attention. Were getting married
in Zimbabwe on New Years Eve 2014.
What do you love most about each other?

G
Tess is incredibly down to earth and

positive about everything. She knows
exactly what she wants in life and with
that comes a strong determination and
drive thats infectious.
He cares so much about people, and

hes very close to his family and friends.
He makes me laugh every day, no

have the best time when Im with him.

BURBERRY
ofen get asked about wearing

prints should curvy girls
embrace them or steer clear?
My advice is to go with what
feels comfortable, whether that
means adding a printed accessory to a
classic jeans-and-T-shirt combo or going
all out in head to toe.
On the A/W13 catwalks, we saw
everything from leopard print
to houndstooth; camouage
to polka dots. So why
not experiment?
The Burberry show
illustrated how to mix
leopard print with classic
pieces: a printed skirt
with a plain top, and the
classic trench with
leopard-print arms.
When wearing prints,
just remember shape as
well as proportion. In this
picture Im wearing a fab
jumper from the Clements
Ribeiro Swan Collection
for Evans. Its slightly
oversized and, in order to
maintain a streamlined
silhouette, Ive kept the rest of my
outt simple with skinny jeans and
heels Ive made it all about the
printed jumper.
Print can be a great way to disguise
areas that you dont want to highlight by
emphasising the ones youre proud of.
Roland Mouret, for example, famed for
the hourglass Galaxy dress, used ashes
of leopard to create the illusion of a
sculpted shape perfect for curvy gures.
You can combine prints with plain too.

AHEAD
OF THE
CURVE
When youre curvier, wider

legs and relaxed ts can
sometimes add width, which
isnt always the most attering;
opt instead for a slimmer
straight-leg style. And a rip high
on the thigh will draw attention
there, so go for distressed denim
at the knees and below.

AND LEAN
If youre petite, really baggy

boyfriend jeans can make you look
too childlike. Sex them up with a slick
tted top and sky-high heels to
elongate your frame. Make sure your
jeans hug your hips and bum just
slightly, and roll them up to show
of a bit more skin and make
your legs look longer.
If you have long legs, dont be scared

to rock a full-on baggy jean. Invest in a
great pair that will look good with
age. Just be careful of oversizing
everything in case your clothes swallow
you up or make you look a size larger.
Plus, dark colours give an overall
slimming efect.

essential styling tips
The great thing about vibrant
colours is they actually
suit everyone the key is
experimenting with shades that inspire you.
Its all in the cut edgy statement
styles (eg, pixie crops; faux hawks) or
a more modern shoulder-length cut are
great ways to show o bold hair colour.

Keep your colour fresh. In-between

permanent applications of red shades,
you can boost your colour by adding a
small amount of semi-permanent Ultra Brights
Pillar Box Red to your conditioner.
The trick for on-trend styling is to look
like you havent tried too hard for an
undone daytime look, try letting your
hair dry naturally, or use a curling iron to
create a bit of extra texture (got2b Powderful
and Beach Matt Salt Spray are perfect for
nishing this look).

THE SNOWBALL BRAID

Part your hair from ear to
ear, joining in a point at the
back of the crown. You can
use the end of a tailcomb for
this. Peter Lux, creator of
these ponies, used a length
of black elastic to tie this
top section of hair, snipping
the ends oa after knotting.
Gather a small section of
hair underneath the rst
section and attach it to the
original pony, using a second
piece of elastic wrapped an
inch or two below the rst.
Repeat until you reach the
middle of the tail, teasing the
sections of hair out between
each wrap of elastic to create
a spinal eaect down the neck.
Backcomb the ends of the
pony for volume, gently
running straighteners
through to set, before
adding more backcomb.

to plait across the forehead
and around.
For a reverse French braid
(one that sits on the top of
the head), send the outside
strands under (not over) the
middle strand, alternating
left and right. Dont plait
too tightly, warns Peter.
Keep the look relaxed.
Add strands from the
sides of the head to each
outside strand before
weaving it under, so that
all your hair is pulled in.

38mm) on 2in sections at a
time. The roots should
make contact with the

should wrap around last;

ifeen years ago no one

would have believed
injecting your face with
poison would be a
common treatment for
beating wrinkles. Then
came Botox and a generation of scary
women who couldnt move their faces.
Now with an incredible 22billion
earmarked for anti-ageing research over
the coming years, some of whats to

Trek yes, you will actually be able to

predicting Those in their twenties and
thirties today can expect not only to live
to a healthy 150, but look pretty good
too, we thought wed discover exactly
what this means for the skincare

Gene technology is a big buzz term in
skincare. Put simply, it allows beauty
companies to observe exactly how
skincare ingredients aTect the behaviour
of your skins genes, including those that
help slow down the ageing process.
The results in some cases are almost

says,Already, some skincare is more
eTective than it can let on: anything that

classed as a medicine. If this denition
doesnt get reassessed, we might need

Stem cells, anyone?

Skincare is obsessed right now with
stimulating our self-renewing stem cells
in a bid to help skin regenerate. Look for
creams with a blend of peptides. Favoured
by experts, sources include (but arent
limited to) plant stem cells. Epidermal
growth factor is another skin protein
released by stem cells; it dramatically
plumps the skins top layer but, says
dermatologist Dr Nick Lowe,There is a
big drawback. If there are cancer cells on
the skin, theyll be stimulated as much
as your healthy epidermal cells. Maybe
not worth the risk, then!
Beyond creams, theres the
idea of taking stem cells or

growth factors from one part of your

body and introducing them to the
skin. Its the inspiration behind the
Kim Kardashian-favoured vampire
facial, where a serum made from your
own white blood cells is injected
all over your face. Dr Marko Lens, a
reconstructive surgeon, is not impressed.
You cant substitute one growth factor
for another and expect it to work, he
says. But Alex thinks it will one day:
We already have the technology to
reprogramme any stem cells to act like
skin stem cells, he says.We just need
to discover the right way to get
them into the skin.

Hurrah! The future is

skincare, not surgery
The big trend among celebrities is
quality skincare, not procedures, says
Dr Harold Lancer, dermatologist to half
of Hollywood.They dont want
anything that changes their face; what
they want is skin of exceptional quality.
I teach them to achieve that with the
right regime. His method (the one
Oprah and the Beckhams attribute their
glowy faces to) involves exfoliating daily.
This improves the absorption of active
ingredients, and kick-starts the cell
communication [cells really do send
Power
naturals
messages among themselves, and the

initial call to action happens on the
skins surface] that leads to collagen
production, says Harold. Leading
cosmetic chemist Joe Lewis echoes this:
Gentle exfoliation [hes a fan of lactic
acid, which, despite its name, dissolves
dead skin cells in a gentle way] and
quality skincare [look out for fatty acids,
peptides, antioxidants and liposomes]
are key to plumper, beautiful skin. Save
the lasers and skin-needling for getting
rid of scars. Thats us told.

The end of
I believe non-surgical
procedures will take
over from invasive ones
(ie, where you go under the knife),
as theyre getting ever better at
reversing skin damage before you
can even see it, says Nick. He
rates these new kids on the block:
Revance: A botulinum toxin
gel dabbed on skin by a doctor. It
works just like the injectable
version and lasts for months. Its
especially good for areas where
you dont want to inject deeply,
for example, crows feet.
ATX-101: An injectable, fatdissolving salt solution designed
to tighten small, stubborn pockets
of fat, such as double chins. It
shows very good results and
should be approved this year.
Intracel: Radiofrequency
delivered through microneedles
for super-targeted treatment. It
heats up skin to kick-start major
cell regeneration, but very
precisely. Great for issues such as
stretch marks and sagging.

There was a time when plant-based

skincare was thought to hydrate and
not much else, but natural brands are
on a mission to prove their plants
have true anti-ageing powers.
Fran Johnson from Neals Yard
Remedies explains, Consumer
interest in plant power, combined
with demand for products that really
work, has led to huge investment in
advanced research.
While natural brands such as Neals
Yard, LOccitane and Jurlique spend
heavily on clinical studies and gene
technology, high-tech skincare
purveyors such as Este Lauder,
Lancme and Zelens are launching
plant-based face oils. Certain oils,
such as rosehip and chia seeds, are
extremely high in essential fatty
acids, says Marko. Theyre so similar
to the skins own lipids that they
dont only heal and nourish its
protective lipid barrier, but also play
a part in skin-cell regeneration. Alex
agrees: A lack of unsaturated fatty
acids ages cells and skin. The more
you consume or apply, the better.

The press release says
Captures the energy and

creativity of the bohemian

mysterious fragrance. Opens
with a burst of Turkish rose and
pear, with heart notes of peony
juxtaposed with black vanilla.
Nick says Makes me think of
apples and, Gee, your hair smells
terric! Its not particularly sexy;
its for someone who wants to
smell nice.
Greg says It smells like
sweets. I imagine this is the sort
of thing Little Mix would buy.

and pretty sexy. Id say its for an
easy-going, hippy-chick type.

blackcurrant nectar adds the power
of darkness, enriched with sensual
vanilla, Rose de Mai and patchouli.
Nick says This is very good

fruit, then candyoss or cake and
a lot of patchouli. Baby Spice
would have worn this clubbing.
Greg says Quite sexy in a
musky kind of way. I imagine a

would wear this. Judi Dench?
Merrick says This is a bit
too sweet for me. It makes me
think of someone a bit ditzy
and childlike.
Reiss Grey Flower,

from 25
The press release says A
seductive and addictive perfume

featuring jasmine noir, cocoa leaf,
amber and patchouli.
Nick says Smells like a menthol
haze rising above a dense forest.
To be worn by a brave, sexy
woman. Itd really pop on a
redheads skin.
Greg says This is strong and
spicy. Smells like a woman with
loads of money who holidays in

The press release says The

Tonkin musk. Elegance with a
feral character.
Nick says Very sexy. It smells
like a church at mass, with incense
burning. The girl wearing this is a
lapsed Catholic with a penchant for
reading smutty books on the tube.
Greg says Sweet with lots of
spice. It makes me think of an
expensive perfume a dad would

but its a bit overpowering;
not really something Id want

Roses de Chlo, 52
The press release says An
inspired new variation of this

timeless classic. Airy, luminous and
subtle. Bergamot adds an incredible
fresh sensation to the damascena
rose, white musk and amber.
Nick says Smells like roses with
salt crystallised on the petals.
Wonderfully powdery in the

remains the longest]. I imagine this

Greg says Really sexy. Id want
my girlfriend to smell like this.
Actually makes me think a bit of an

Merrick says Ooh yes, I like this.
Its quite a fresh, zesty smell and
reminds me of summer. It makes me

Greg says Its quite unisex. Id
probably wear this if I didnt know
it was for women. Smells quite
watery-fresh. Maybe Tom Daley

Merrick says Very elegant. I

CASSIE SAYS Its nice to meet a

matt lipstick that doesnt dry out my
lips. I love the gorgeous velvet nish
(the clues in the name) and
surprising minty smell. The heavy
gold casing is the icing on the cake.
CONNIE SAYS This lippy ticks
so many boxes for me, even
though I go for more natural
colours and budget brands. Its
minty and, despite being so matt,
its moisturising I didnt think a
lipstick would be able to do both.
CASSIE SAYS Considering this

glides on and feels uber-moisturising,
the colour pay-of is wow! It contains
nourishing cherry-seed oil, but this
doesnt afect the punchy colour. It
faded a bit after drinking, but I guess
thats to be expected.
CONNIE SAYS This looks shinier on
the lips and has a hint of orange to it,
which makes a nice change from
run-of-the-mill red. It feels seriously
moisturising on the lips, although this
does slightly afect its staying power.
TWIN VERDICT Both are great; it just depends on the nish
youre after. But we reckon the Lipstick Queen is worth its weight in gold.

Turning dreams
TO REALITY
Weve teamed up with Always Innity to nd
real-life Cosmo readers to share their secrets to success
Kerry reckons that anyone can throw an

incredible event. Just follow her top tips:
First nail the numbers Figure out
exactly how many people to expect at
your event before you book the venue.
People enjoy themselves more when they
have space (but not too much).
Listen to the experts Take referrals from
suppliers and vendors; they have
experience and a scoop on who can be
relied on in the business.
Dont be scared to negotiate If you
dont ask, you dont get. Youll never
know how prepared people might be to
compromise unless you have the
condence to question them.
Enjoy the moment Theres no doubt
that youll have worked hard during a
stressful build-up to your event, but dont
forget to smile and enjoy it on the day.

You get on top with your
back to him, but, instead of
straddling him, you have one
leg between his, with one
hand on his chest and the
other on his shin. You can
then rock back and forth or
move up and down as fast or
slow as you like.
You sit on a sturdy table

and he stands facing you
with his arms around your
lower back. Place your
hands on the tabletop to
support yourself as he
slowly raises your right leg
and props it on his lef
shoulder, then he raises
your lef leg and props it on
his right shoulder. He can
either hold you close
against him or you can lean
back. For a slightly less
acrobatic version, you can
tilt your pelvis up and wrap
your legs around his waist.

The missionary mix-up

You do all the work here but
you get plenty of rewards.
Your man lies back on the
oor, leaning against a sofa
or bed for support. You then
straddle him with one leg
between his legs and one
to one side. Rest your hands
on the oor to allow you
to control your bouncing.
He can assist by putting his
hands on your hips to help
you move up and down if

you start to feel tired.
Why its good Itll drive
him wild, but youre in
control and can set the
pace of thrusting, and grind
against his thigh all at once.
He also gets easy access to
caress your breasts and
bum in-between
thrusts. RS

Ask your man to kneel down while
you crouch over his lap facing
him. With your arms around each
other for support, get him to work
up a rocking motion, moving apart
and together in unison.
Why its good Its intimate yet the
angle is just right for deep or shallow
penetration. Your breasts will also get in
on the action by moving against his chest,
giving you extra stimulation. KG
He lies on the bed with his

bum at the edge of the
mattress, legs in the air. Start
by lying on top of him
with your back against
his chest and your pelvis
above his, then slide on
to him. You should then
gradually sit up and lean
forward, taking it slow to
make sure you dont bend
him the wrong way. Once
youre sitting up, slowly
lower your legs on to the
oor, and then rock back
and forth as desired. He
should keep his legs raised
the whole time, allowing
easy access for you to reach
between your own legs to
stroke his penis and balls.
He can rest his legs against
your back if this proves too
hard on his thighs.
Why its good Its great for
hitting your G spot because
you can angle him wherever
you want. And you can limit
penetration levels too. RS

Our sex is so dull

I love my boyfriend but sex is a massive problem;
we hardly ever do it and when we do, I never
climax and he hardly ever does. I want to talk
dirty and use sex toys but he says they put him of.
If I try to guide him, he calls me bossy. Im at a loss!
Our sex lives reect our relationship as a whole. When
women feel their needs arent being met (sexually or
otherwise), we grow resentful. When men feel nagged
or criticised, they grow resentful, and nothing chokes
the life out of a relationship faster. If you want things
to change, do things diferently. You know what you
dont want, so spend some time discovering what each
of you does want and does like and hope for.
Ive lost my
condence
I fantasise about
my unsexy boss
My boyfriend thinks Im great because I role-play for him

(he was a virgin before me) but I feel like a terrible person
because I secretly fantasise about my boss when I want to come.
I dont even fancy him hes old and fat so why do I do it?
When it comes to sexuality, its best not to ask, Why?. Desire is
a constantly evolving, complex mosaic of experiences, thoughts
and sensations; why waste time trying to see whats on each tile
when the whole picture brings such pleasure? All sexual fantasies
are rooted in having or relinquishing power. Sex with your
inexperienced boyfriend might force you (temporarily) into a
more dominant role, whereas the boss fantasy allows you to feel
submissive, which is probably what triggers your orgasm. We cant
control what pops into our heads but we can decide how to feel
about it. Choose not to feel guilty and the problem will go away.
I used to be really
sexual, then I lost
my job and put on
loads of weight.
Now I cant stand
to be touched.
I keep pushing my
boyfriend away
but I dont want
to lose him either.
How do I get my
condence back?
Losing your job has
knocked you but
take a deep breath
and hear this
fundamentally, you
are who youve
always been. Try to
remember why
other people love
you. If you cant
nd a way to do
that, nd a

Overeating, loss

self-esteem could
be symptoms of
depression, so
speak to your GP.
Your condence

wont help you decide whether to

attracted to (and is attracted to me)

as the curious, clever, smart and sassy
woman I am? Or mean Im about to
sacrice any possibility of us becoming
an actual us? And why, in 2013, is the
standard still a double one?
The authors of a new book, Its
Okay To Sleep With Him On The First
Date (And Every Other Rule Of Dating
Debunked) agree that the arguments are
lopsided. Co-author Jef Wilser says,
Were not going to think less of you.
By denition, that would mean wed
need to think less of ourselves, right?
Unless were complete hypocrites.
But the trouble is, Jef, some men are.
We shouldnt kid ourselves that all men
feel like Jef, sadly. The trick, says fellow
author Andrea Syrtash, is trusting our
instincts rather than outdated rules.
Its important to follow your gut, she
says.We cant assume that all women
want to settle down, or that all men are
only afer fun without commitment.
Some women are more variety-seeking
and some men are more stability
oriented. It depends on the individual.
I was banking on a similar theory
when on New Years Eve 2012, about 20
minutes into a friends house party, I
found myself doing the mating dance
with her cousin. We inched gradually
closer until his hand was in that spot on
my back. One drink turned into a dance,
then the ball dropped then so did my
pants. Surprisingly, days later there was a
follow-up text, a date and, before I knew
it, dinners out, movies, Valentines cards
and more incredible sex.
See, I thought,Im not easy, Im
easy-going. Guys love easygoing. In fact, he said as
much when breaking up
with me two months later.
So it didnt work out. But
if that experience taught
me anything, its that

Sara Lieberman loves men. And sex.

So, why, she asks, do people still judge her

comes to dessert. I can share
one chocolate fondant with
two friends; I can even portion
out a bag of Buttons. The same
goes for shopping. Ill allow myself one
pair of shoes per spree, but I draw the
line at two (OK, maybe three). With
men, however, I have no restraint.
As a 35-year-old (still) single lady, Ive
been told repeatedly that if you sleep
with a guy early on, you probably wont
hear from him again. Ive got a copy of
The Rules (thanks, Mum), watched Hes
Just Not That Into You and know about

because
REN CAMPBELL, 35, from
Surrey, is a pro-bodybuilder
and personal trainer
ive years ago I went to

support a friend of mine at
a bodybuilding competition
where, instead of giggling
at a bunch of men in trunks,
I found myself transxed by
the womens bodies. They were muscular
but still feminine, which appealed to me.
I decided then to transform my own body.
As a personal trainer, I was already
very t but had always thought being
slim was desirable. When I told my
trainer I wanted to become a
pro-bodybuilder he laughed; I was
a tiny size 8. I had to completely
change my diet to achieve my goal,
packing it with
protein. I even set my
as
Ren
alarm so I could stick to
a size 8
my regime of eating
every two hours, 24
hours a day. I still do this
before competitions.
I went from consuming
1,200 calories a day to
4,000, stopped doing
cardio to keep from losing weight, and
started intensive weight training. By
sticking to the programme, I managed to
completely change my shape Im proof
that anythings achievable.
In 2011, three years after I started
training, I won the British bodybuilding
title UKBFF Ladies Physique Champion
and reached professional status. Defying
expectations has given me a whole new
level of body condence, even though
most men are intimidated by me how I
look isnt the norm, so they shy away.
Being thin is seen as the ideal, but I think
my shapes attractive too. I love my body.

WHY? Reduces

Eating red meat can help
you avoid anaemia, which

WHY? Great for

reducing stress
Eggs are one of the

few foods that are rich in
mood-boosting vitamin D
and amino acids; people
who eat eggs for
breakfast also have fewer
cravings throughout the
day, says nutritionist
Robert Hobson.
Omega 3 is essential for

healthy skin, hair and
nails, and chia seeds are a
rich source, says health
and nutrition specialist
Patrick Holford. They also
stabilise blood sugar to
reduce stress. Add to
soups, salads or porridge.

Celebrity nutritionist

Chillies contain

WHY? Caloric and

easy to overdo it
WHY?
Heighten hangovers
and add calories
When you consume a diet

bar or drink, your body
associates the sweetness
with an energy surge, says
nutritionist Wendy ONeill.
Your brain is tricked into
craving more caloric
foods when that energy
doesnt arrive.
Mass-produced bread is
injected with rapid risers,
stabilisers and emulsiers,
says Wendy. The yeast will
continue to expand in your
stomach, giving many
people irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS). Try some
artisan bread instead.
At around 140 calories a

cup, a daily skinny latte
can add unnecessary
calories, and a cappuccino
isnt much better (90
calories). Cut down on
cals with a black cofee
(4 calories), or a white
Americano (30 calories).
Orange juice contains

more sugar than CocaCola. Instead, Wendy
recommends replacing
it with a glass of tomato
juice, which contains
fewer calories than orange
juice but is packed with
antioxidants.
The sugar in mojitos and

syrups in other cocktails
are full of calories, and the
alcohol content of these
drinks can be difcult to
monitor. The higher the
sugar content, the greater
your hangover may be!
explains Wendy.

Im trying to say goodbye. This is the hardest thing

I think Ive ever had to do, or maybe just as hard as
admitting that you had taken over my life. Ive been
trying to nd out why I let you in my life, and let you
take control. I welcomed you on board because I was
convinced you were making me happy. You were
making me the person I thought I was meant to be:
skinny yet so strong and proud. But there shouldnt
be pride in having a person like you rule my life.
You thought I was brilliant; you told me I could

conquer anything, by letting you rule my life. You
took over and I let you. But admitting this was so
hard and, even though I made you feel proud of me,
I felt like a failure. You made me feel like I should be
ashamed of myself. I gave you everything, but got
nothing in return. I was willing to die for you
I would have died because of you. And you would
have let me. You would have been so happy to see
me sufer. And I was so willing to make you happy
and proud. But it would never have been enough
for you. When would you have told me to stop?
I will never forget the day I decided to get rid of you.

It was 9 June. I knew that youd hate it. That I
would pay BIG TIME for trying to lose you. And I
did. I was forced to give up everything: my job, my
life in Holland, my sisters, my friends, just to be able
to ght you. As if you hadnt done
enough damage already, you had to
take away everything else that made
me a happy person. I hated you so
much for that.
I knew it wouldnt be easy. I could
have given in, but I didnt think you
deserved it. If I wasnt allowed to be

person, Ive learnt from you. I
know you hate that I can see a
positive side to all the grief youve caused me.
Sometimes I care. Other times I dont. You dont
deserve for anyone to care about you. Ignoring you
when I had to start eating properly was so much
harder than dealing with the guilt you still make me
feel. You thought you were so strong, but youre not.
You did me wrong, but Im grateful. You made me

look at my life in a diferent way. Youve made me
appreciate things Ive always taken for granted. Youve
forced me to look inside and see who I am and what
Im capable of. I dont miss the life we had together.
I dont cherish the months of isolation and torture
and fear. But I cherish what they have taught me.
I was so scared to think of life without you, but Im
strong and am only going to get stronger by ghting
you. So thank you for making me realise just how
beautiful my family is, how beautiful my life can be
and how beautiful I am. Once youre gone Ill focus
on me and on living the life Ive been ghting for.
Ill never forget you. Im a stronger person for
having had you in my life, although Ive paid a high
price. Now Im letting you go, I dont regret letting
you in, but I think about the other people youve
taken from this world and Im grateful youve not
taken me too. I dont hate you, I just hate what
youve done; but I love what Ive become. I mean it
when I say, Goodbye

remember, Ive hated the

teenager and was bullied
because of it; the bullying got
so bad I had to change schools.

The efects of bullying can
continue long afer the
actual taunts have stopped. And
it can ofen distort the way we
view ourselves, unless we learn to
challenge the negative thoughts
that came from it. This is why
bullying can be so difcult to
cope with; in fact, new research
has found that childhood
bullying can signicantly afect
our mental health later in life.
The 20-year study, focusing on
1,420 children and their parents,
found that those children whod
been bullied were more likely to

attacks and agoraphobia than the

My boyfriend is trying to get his business

of the ground, which is stressful and
hectic. I try to help but I feel my needs are
pushed aside. I fear adding to his stress but
Im tired of feeling he isnt interested in
my problems. Am I being insensitive?
Starting a new business is an all-consuming
project but, in time, it will (hopefully) get
of the ground. For now its exhausting and
scary, with the threat of failure always in the
air. Your boyfriend needs you but he cant
stop to tell you how much. Give him time
just now to get the business sorted and he
should remember with gratitude the
sacrices you made. If not, thatll be time to
tell him he must treat you as his partner in
every way, or he can get lost.
I dont know his mates

Im seeing a guy who kisses me and does
things boyfriends do, although we
havent had sex. But he hasnt introduced
me to his friends or family. It makes me
feel bad; like Im not good enough.
You say he does all the things a boyfriend
does except for sex. So you laugh together,
go out, talk to each other from the heart as
friends do? If you really are friends, ask him
calmly, not accusingly, why he doesnt
introduce you to others. It could be them,
not you, who embarrass him. Or maybe they
know something hes not yet ready for you
to know. Give him a chance. And give
yourself a chance to learn how good you are.

THOUGHT
FOR
THE DAY
One gift Id like to
give every woman
is a single cinema
ticket. Chances are
youve never been
to see a lm on
your own. Sitting
there by yourself
in the dark, youll
soon get sucked
into the story on
the big screen.
When you emerge
from the cinema,
you will have been
enriched by a very
important lesson:
youll know you
can have a good
time even if you
are on your own.
I had an affair
with a colleague
I work as cabin crew and recently got together with

a pilot. It was great, but hes married, and I think his
wife must have seen a text I sent him. He hasnt even
looked at me since. Also, a colleague saw us kissing
and told everyone. Should I look for a new job? Ill
never get involved with a pilot again.
At least youve learnt a lesson the hard way. Getting
together with a colleague is unprofessional. And if hes
the one with his hands on the control panel, as the less
senior member of staf, youre the one who usually pays
the price. Youll inevitably be found out and be food
for ofce gossip. Any extra-marital afair is potentially
ammable. Make yourself do the hardest thing: nothing.
Say nothing to anyone, and not one unnecessary word to
him. No eye contact, no texts. Give trouble a chance to
cool down. Then, if you feel you must nd another job,
gossip will be less likely to follow you.

I know theres a lot of stuc
that goes on inside those
dresses to make them look
poofy. I saw her trying to
get up, and I thought she
couldnt on her own, so
I just went to help her.
When my wife [DeborraLee Furness] met me, she

said she was looking for a
stockbroker. So if I want it to
be a great night out, Ill wear
a suit especially Tom Ford
and Ill start talking about
stocks and bonds. Then I
know Im going to get
lucky (Just kidding!)

I had a dinner party and

asked her and 10 others. Her
phone rang and it was Mick
Jagger, inviting her to a party.
All I remember is hearing
Deb say, I cant because Im
having dinner with Hugh
Jackman. I thought she was
crazy, as I was an absolute
nobody. That was the night
we got together. I knew she
was a keeper, yet I was her
worst nightmare. I was a
young, 26-year-old new actor;
all the wrong things.
Wait. You cooked for

a whole dinner party?
Yes. I made a pumpkin

Growing up in Australia,
my opinion of masculinity
is that you dont show your
feelings. A real man doesnt
cry. My father is classic
English emotionally shut
down although, in the past
10 years, he seems to have
cried at every family reunion.
The real measure of a man is
to be you. Its OK to show
emotion. Afer travelling
to Italy, Ive learnt that I
prefer their way. There,
men can show emotion;
they can be acectionate and
still be masculine.
...
Id say 80% of marriage is

choosing the right person
and, with Deb, I just knew.
We were really close friends
before we got together [they
met lming Australian TV
show Correlli]. But in any
marriage there must be
some sacrices. No marriage
survives if both people are
selsh. Obviously, there has
to be a great attraction and
love. I ring Deb about 10
times a day.
Have you always

been such a gent?
From rescuing Jennifer Lawrence to

cooking crpes for 12 on a rst date, actor
Hugh, 44, proves hes the perfect gent
told me it was always a good

way to impress.
Whats it like being

a sex symbol?
I still see myself as this skinny
long-legged person. That body
I have is for The Wolverine.
I did work on it, but its not
my natural body, and I get a
hard time for it. Deb tells me,
Your job, as my husband, is
to be fat and schlubby, so

that no matter whats going
on with me, I look great.
The whole of
womankind fell for
you when you helped
Jennifer Lawrence
after she fell over
at the Oscars
I felt so bad for her because
it happened right in front of
Hugh stars in Prisoners,

out 27 September.
GOOGLE STALK!
The obligatory pre-date
check-up of Hugh threw up
the following results...
He lifts weights so heavy, the

bar actually bends we spied
this on his Twitter, not
through his bedroom window.
Thanks, @RealHughJackman.
His CV includes working at
a gas station and as a clown.
It would have also included
being James Bond, but hes so
cool he turned it down as he
didnt want to be boxed in.
From Les Mis we know Hugh
can belt out a tune and he
sang at Nicole Kidmans
wedding to Keith Urban. He
may not be available for
bookings though, sorry.II

The story so far
When Jordan got red from her Washington DC law-rm job, setting up Need to Know,
an online service to allow girls to nd out all of the dirty dish on their dates, seemed
like the perfect way to make some quick cash. Until she encountered businessman and
playboy Forest Redder. Forest wields a lot of power in a town full of very powerful men
and suddenly Jordans longing to know every last sinful thing about Forest, for far
from professional reasons
m thinking a guy like you can have his pick of any woman. The
amusement in her husky voice faded. A thread of anger weaved
its way in.
Normally hed skip over the comment, but something about her tone had
him stopping and investigating. What kind of guy am I?

She studied her menu. As he watched her, Forest heard an occasional
laugh rise above the crowd noise and the clink of silverware as the people
two tables down dug into their steaks.
Well? Thats all he said. He knew she ignored the question on purpose.
No way was he letting this one slide.
Jordan lowered the menu and stared at him over the top. She didnt
pretend confusion. Rich, powerful. Born wealthy and used to getting
what he wants.
All of it fit in a way, but didnt in most others. Sounds as if youve been
checking up on me.
Her head tilted to the side, sending her hair slipping over her shoulder.
Would that oIend you?
51
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
No.
Oh, come on. She balanced her elbows on the edge of the table and
leaned in.
Are you referring to checking me out on that website, Need to Know?
Her smile faded as her expression went blank. Maybe.
Look, I can understand a woman wanting to know about the man she
plans to invite into her bed. Women do need to be careful. I just think a
website cant replace getting to know someone in person.
Agreed. I poked around and got the vitals, like school and family and
dating history.
He doubted she knew one sentence more than his PR department put
out there. Did your investigating tell you Im the black sheep of the
family?
Those sexy eyes narrowed. Youre a successful businessman. Unless you
killed someone, I have a hard time seeing why youd be considered a
disappointment to your parents.
Hed been disloyal, which was much worse in his fathers eyes. Youd be
surprised.
Jordan smiled as she took a sip of water. What, you were a bad boy, so
you cant attend the annual family yacht race or something?
The way she said it pushed him to prove her assumptions wrong. Being
born into a family with money doesnt solve everything.
Her hand froze in the middle of putting her glass down. When it finally
hit the table it smacked against the wood with a sharp crack. You never
went hungry and always knew youd have a bed to sleep in that night.
Looked like he wasnt the only one with a messed-up personal history.
WorldMags.net
* 52
WorldMags.net
Hed refrained from picking her life apart, thinking old-fashioned dating
and getting to know each other might be an interesting twist, but now he
regretted the decision. Are you saying
She waved him of. Just ofering a response to your general comment.
Wen and a few others knew, but Forest rarely shared the details of his life
with anyone, certainly not with a woman he just met and was trying to
impress. But for some reason he craved honesty with her, so he supplied
the barest of information. Its a well-kept family secret, something no one
in the Redder family talks about at parties, but I assure you my younger
brother is the heir. Except for some communication with my baby sister, I
dont have any contact with my parents or anyone else in the family. They
no longer consider me their son.
Noise rattled around them, but a quiet settled around the table. Jordan
moved as if stuck in slow motion. Are you playing me?
No.
ANer a few beats of silence, she reached across the table and covered
Forests hand with hers. In that case, Im sorry.
He hated the sympathy he saw in her eyes, but the warmth of her skin
mixed with his and he couldnt pull away. Ive learned to accept it.
Maybe one day you can tell me how to do that.
What?
Accept a rough family dynamic and not let it dene you.
The longing in her voice got to him. If you need me to, I will.
You always seem to say the right thing. She sat back in her chair,
putting as much distance between them as possible in the small space.
Im wondering if thats practiced or real.
53
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
What does the website say? When her eyes widened, he continued. Im
assuming youre a member, since Ive heard you use the tagline more than
once and, well, from the article I read today about it, it sounds as if every
single woman in town is on it.
Hardly, but yes. Im a member. Her hands slipped from her lap to the
arms of the chair and back again. And no.
He was so busy watching her dget, he missed whatever she said. Excuse
me?
Youre not on it yet.
The playful teasing came zipping back into her voice. He welcomed the
break to the tension snapping at him. Will I be after tonight?
She shrugged. Well see.
Then, lets come to an agreement. Since he had no intention of making
a general announcement to the crowded restaurant, he leaned in. His
nger traced the outline of her silverware against the stark white
tablecloth. After dinner I will drive you home, not because I think paying
for dinner gives me rights with you, but because Im not a dick and want
to make sure you get back to your place without incident. Im still kicking
my ass for not insisting I see you home after our oIce run-in.
Run-in?
I thought youd prefer that to me mentioning how close we came to
having sex in front of the cleaning crew.
This time she wrapped her long fingers around the armrests. Very sweet.
Okay.
He ignored the sweet part because he feared that led them down the
wrong path. One that didnt nish in a bed. And anything that happens
WorldMags.net
* 54
WorldMags.net
afer I drive up is your call. A kiss, me coming up with you whatever
you have all the control. Ive made my play and my intentions cant be a
mystery.
You want me to be the aggressor.
Oh, Im happy to take the lead. If she sent him the right look, hed be
all over her. Youll just need to tell me I can.
I only agreed to dinner.
But she understood. He saw it in every muscle and the glint in her eye.
She got his message. She was in charge.
He nodded. Then, lets order.
Jordan had no idea how she forced more than two bites down during
dinner. Even as they chatted about safe topics, a part of her mind
wandered to what would come later.
It sucked for him, really, because he gave her his full attention. He didnt
stare at other women. Didnt say or do anything inappropriate. Hed kept
his word and at the end of the evening pulled up to the lobby of her
building to drop her off until she invited him up.
Not that the decision hit her in the car. No, shed excused herself more
than a half hour ago and texted Elle to go over and hide all website
evidence in the condo. Let me do that. Forest reached around her and
took the keys from Jordans shaking ngers.
She didnt realize a small tremor ran through her until the jangling of
metal echoing in the hallway stopped and her front door opened. Sure.
Despite her desire to remain calm and in control, she almost bolted
55
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
inside. The goal was to get to the bedroom and hide the eleven outts
shed tried on before this dress. Right now they lay scattered all over the
floor and draped over the exercise bike she used as a very expensive hanger.
He held the door for her to go in first. She walked down the short
hallway past the kitchen on one side and den on the other and into the
open family room. The place looked clean. Certainly picked up. That had
to be Elles doing, because Jordan had long ago given up the battle with
clutter. Working from home made stacks of papers inevitable. Not that
you could tell at this moment.
Jordan peeked into the bedroom to her leJ and saw a stack of pillows and
a clear comforter. No discarded underwear. If Elle hadnt been her best
friend before, shed have won the title tonight.
Forests hands fell over her shoulders as he whispered against her hair. I
like your condo.
Me, too. Her breath stuttered in her chest. A few more minutes of that
and shed start wheezing. Not exactly the perfect setup for sexy times.
His mouth found her neck. Hot breath skipped over her skin right before
his lips went to work. The gentle suction had her knees buckling and her
head falling back against his shoulder. The way her body melted into his
should have embarrassed her. After all shed made some sort of vow not
that she could remember a line of it right now.
Tell me what you want. His voice vibrated against her skin.
She let her head fall to the side this time, hoping hed trail the line of
kisses to the base of her neck, then lower. Instead, he hesitated. He didnt
stop, but his mouth didnt move over her. He continued to kiss her neck
as his fingers flexed against her shoulders.

Please, Forest. She backed up, pressing her butt into his groin to give
him permission.
As if hed been given a flashing green light, his arm wrapped around her
waist and held her steady. Heat radiated off him and burned through her.
His erection pressed against her as he rocked his body into hers.
Say it. His mouth lifted, journeying to her jawline and inflaming the
nerve endings there.
She decided to spell it out before she threw him on the couch and
straddled him, and that was in about-to-happen mode. I want you
inside me.
His hands stilled for a second before roaming again. Very soon.
With every cell tingling, she wanted to demand he do it now. She might
have opened her mouth and suggested they fast-forward this first round,
but the rip of her zipper stopped her. One minute her dress held tight
against her body. The next, the bodice fell and his hands slipped inside.
His ngers traced her nipples through the black lace of her bra.
When she turned her head toward him, he captured her mouth in a
searing kiss. Not gentle or quiet. No, this one claimed. Hot, sensual and
carrying a promise of the wicked times to come, his lips traveled over hers
even as his hands pushed her dress and the thin crinoline underneath to
the oor.
One arm lifted over her head and found his hair. When he lifted her
other arm up, she felt a tug as the clasp on her bra opened. Then his hands
cupped her bare breasts and massaged the nipples to tight sensitive peaks.
Forest Redder did know his way around a woman.
His hips bucked against her, mimicking the rhythm she hoped to
57

experience within the next minute or two. She heard the shuffle of
material, then his hands left her for a second. When her eyes popped open
and the protest hovered on her lips, he appeared in front of her.
With his focus transxed on her breasts, he peeled of her bra. Fingers
dipped under the edge of her tiny panties next. His thumb rubbed against
her as the pressure began to build inside her. Yet he didnt stop kissing
her. His mouth met hers and his finger slid inside her slick opening.
If he hadnt been holding her up, she would have crumpled to the oor.
She felt weightless and boneless. Every care slipped away and her whole
being focused on getting him into the bedroom and sprawled across that
mattress.
She lifted her head. And faced him head-on. Those green eyes had
darkened and a tense passion showed in every line of his body.
Take me to bed. She whispered the words against his lips and saw a
tremble shake through his shoulders as she watched.
Yes. Then his mouth came back to hers full force and his hands fell to
her waist.
He walked backward as she stripped off his tie and unbuttoned the little
white buttons on his shirt. She would have shredded the expensive
material, ripped the buttons right of despite the cost, but the way their
bodies kept knocking against each other and their hands explored, she
settled for dipping her hand inside and caressing the bare skin of his chest.
She had no idea how he steered them into place, but when the back of
her legs hit the edge of the bed, she sat. The move brought her face in a
direct line with his erection. She didnt hesitate. Her fingers went to work
as his belt buckle clanked and his zipper screeched through the quiet and
* 58

punctuated their heavy breathing.
Her head dipped forward as she rubbed her palm over him through the
opening in his dress pants. She had his erection out and in her hand before
he could nish his sharp intake of breath. She pumped and squeezed while
his hands slid through her hair.
Jordan. He clenched his ngers as he whispered her name.
Not good enough. She wanted to drive him right to the edge so she
wouldnt be the only one standing there. Her tongue licked up his length
as she clenched his butt cheeks in her hands. When his body tensed, she
kept going.
Every single part of him felt right to her. From his smell to his body, he
t her.
Now she wanted it all.
With one last lingering suck, she pulled a moan out of him. Then she fell
back against the bed with her hands by her head. She would have lifted
her legs or issued a new invitation, but her muscles failed her and the need
driving through her had her vision blurring.
But he didnt need help with this part. The second her back hit the
mattress, he shrugged out of his shirt and bent down to run his hand over
the damp front of her lacy underwear. She was wet and ready and when he
stripped the tiny scrap of material oJ her legs, she almost cried in relief.
Then his knee hit the bed and he shiHed until his mouth was on her. His
tongue up and inside of her. He licked and sucked and kept going when
her hips liHed oJ the bed and her ngers dove through his hair. As he
explored every tiny muscle, she heard the soft growl under his groans and
felt her breath hiccup inside her chest.

With each pass of his tongue and ngers the nerve endings flared to life.
Her sensitive skin burned everywhere he touched. She thrashed and
tightened her legs against his shoulders. Anything to ease the winding
sensation pumping through her.
Just when she thought she couldnt take one more second, his mouth
traveled up her stomach to her breasts. He took one, then the other into
his mouth and licked her nipples until the sensitive areas ached. During all
the touching and tasting, hed stripped oJ his pants, because she felt the
brush of hair on his legs against her soH thighs.
When he lay full against her with his upper body balanced on his elbows
above her, she almost begged for relief. He stole what little breath she had
when he kissed her again. This time, the kiss lingered. Her head spun and
her arms wrapped around his shoulders for balance.
Before she could ask about protection, she felt him shiH and heard the rip
of paper. His body lifted, but only for a second. Then he came back. He
pulled her legs up around him as she felt him right at her entrance.
His gaze burned into her. Youre sure?
She couldnt speak. Couldnt think. But she knew she wanted this. She
told him the only way she could right then. She kissed his shoulder then
nipped at his skin in small bites.
As she pressed his shoulders in closer, he started to enter her. He didnt
skip right to plunging and pumping. He slid in, giving her body time to
adjust. Then he slipped back and pushed forward again. The move was
steady, robbing her mind of thought and stealing her breath.
The feel of him over her, around her, had her body clenching even as
release hovered just outside her grasp. He didnt speed up. He entered her

on a steady rhythm, then retreated and began the slow sensual torture
again. Afer a few minutes, her entire body shook with need.
Faster. She whispered the plea against his throat. Now, Forest.
Only then did he speed up. The room lled with the sounds and smells of
their lovemaking. Sweat slicked his back and her ngernails dug into his
skin. He plunged deeper, speeding up as his nger rubbed her clit.
Sensations battered her, tossing the last of her control aside. The
tightening inside her had her meeting his thrusts while she chanted his
name. Just as his body shuddered above hers, something broke lose inside
her. Waves of pleasure crashed over her. Her hips lifted and her thighs
slammed hard against him. She tried to press and clench, anything to
release the energy pounding through her.
With a nal push, his rhythm changed. His big body shook over her as
her head fell back against the pillows. When the orgasm slammed into
her, she inhaled on a mix of shock and pleasure. Every part of her
trembled as a soN whisper of his name escaped her lips. Then he kissed her
again and she couldnt think about anything other than keeping them
right where they were until morning.
