For 30-year-old James Bishai,
style has no age.
That’s why the South End
fashion designer launched
Watchout! Designs, a company
that offers retro watches and
apparel that he describes as “an
explosion of neon and colors.”
“There is definitely a return
to people trying to find something fun and unique to stand
out. It doesn’t matter your age,”
said Bishai, who’s as comfortable wearing a Mickey Mouse
sweater at the bar as he was
wearing it in the schoolyard.
Bishai is one of a growing
number of grown-ups who
aren’t afraid to let their inner
kid shine through in their duds
— and as the trend grows, the
likelihood that they will draw
criticism for going out on a
fashion limb shrinks.
“People are definitely dressing more youthful at an older
age,” said Jay Calderin, creator
of Boston Fashion Week and
the director of creative market-

Robertson, Rachel Henry and Natalie Sarno in the South End.

ing at the School of Fashion Design in Boston. “I think the key
to it — it’s just like anything
else — there is a certain level
you can apply to your life. If
you go overboard, you feel kind
of silly. But if you hit that middle ground, it can be sort of
fun.”
For Bishai, that means
adding a dash of color to an
otherwise boring, but workplace appropriate, outfit.
“I have a lot of friends that
will wear one or two items to
add a touch of something
unique, like a Watchout! watch
and yellow shoes,” Bishai said.
For Calderin, it’s all about
empowerment: “I think when
you’re in your teens and early
20s, you’re forging your identity — and when you get older
that tends to get lost. It’s great
now people are empowered
about getting that back.”

Allston was arson. At 7:49
a.m., the Boston Fire Department responded to a blaze in
a garage on Long Avenue
near Glenville Avenue.
Officials described the
garage as “a cinder block

cars — a Honda Civic and an
Acura — were fully engulfed
in what they called a “stubborn” fire. Investigators later
announced that it was intentionally set. There were no

Leighton Meester’s been
enjoying the high fashions
and catty one-liners of
“Gossip Girl,” now in its
fourth season. But with her
recently announced intentions to leave the show
when her contract is up,
the 24-year-old actress and
singer is busy cultivating a
2011 film roster — starting
with “Country Strong,” featuring Meester as an upstart country singer nipping at the heels of a troubled, fresh-out-of-rehab superstar (Gwyneth Paltrow).
Your character, Chiles
Stanton, is the butt of a lot of
jokes in the movie.
I think she’s sassy and
she’s sweet and she has a
lot of good qualities, but a
lot of her insecurities allow for other people to
walk all over her a bit.
And she’s very naive,
which is not a part of my

personality — or at least,
not as much as I’d like it
to be.
With Chiles being an upand-comer, audiences might
assume she’s going to do
some backstabbing.
I think it’s silly and sort of
sad that people do that.
But I mean, obviously
there is a threat between
these two characters and
rightfully so. But it’s just
like being on set with
Gwyneth. I’m never trying
to be anything but just do
well on my own. And she
makes everyone better.
After singing some country
tunes for the movie, is it
something you’d consider
for your next album?
You know, it definitely has
inspired me in the way I
write music and the way I
play music and appreciate
it. Doing this movie was a
wonderful
introduction
and made me fall in love
with that type of music,
but I don’t necessarily
know, you know? Actually,
since the movie, it’s really
inspired me to kind of go
in a different direction. So
between country and pop,
I kind of go through the
middle.

softball player, Lisa.
“The biggest challenge
for me was she’s not verbal,
and I’m used to playing really talkative characters —
women who speak about
their relationships and talk
about love and dynamics
and boys with their girlfriends,” the actress explains. “So that was a new
character for me and really
interesting.”
Though there are only a
handful of scenes in the
film in which Lisa is on
the field, Witherspoon
says Brooks wanted to
get every detail right
when it came to
softball. “I got to work

“I’m not really that

hours a day. I’m still

softball,” she admits.
METRO/NE
The film — which was
shot right here in Philly last
year — follows Lisa as her
affections pinball between a
commitment-phobic baseball player (Owen Wilson)
and an honest-to-a-fault
businessman (Paul Rudd).
“It’s a tough job, ladies, but
someone’s got to do it,” she
says of working with Wilson and Rudd. “How lucky
am I to work with two of
the most talented, funny, attractive, hysterical men?”
On set, Witherspoon found
her own feelings mirroring
that of her character. “Every
time we’d do a scene with
Owen I’d get really attached
to Owen, and then I go and
do scenes with Paul and I
felt like I was cheating on
Owen,” she says.
While she’s not much of
a jock herself, Witherspoon did find an angle on
getting into the mind of a
professional athlete who
faces some of the same career limitations that can
plague actresses in youthobsessed Hollywood. “It’s
sort of a parallel to being
an actor — especially as a
woman,” she says. “I mean,
I don’t even know how I’m
supposed to say this, but
we have a time that is our
time that we work, and we
work a lot. And then hopefully you shift and you’re
able to become the Meryl
Streeps or the Diane
Keatons or whatever and
continue working.”

Physics student from Boston beats hundreds for ticket to outer space
Justin Dowd to undergo training for space flight scheduled for 2014
Justin Dowd from Worcester,
Mass., has won the Race for
Space, the global competition
to select one Metro reader to
travel into space.
Dowd, 22, beat thousands of
candidates from across the
globe to win a the coveted oncein-a-lifetime ticket on board
XCOR Lynx, the first generation
rocket-powered spaceplane currently being built by leading
spaceflight company SXC.
Dowd has both the mental
and physical smarts needed to
be a perfect astronaut. Dowd,
a physics and maths under-
graduate at Boston’s Northeastern University, wowed the
judging panel with his stunning chalkboard stop motion
video on Einstein’s theory of
relativity. Meanwhile, Dowd
has been training for a grueling 12-mile endurance obstacle course race.
“My motivation for him is
that he really provides an
amazing package in the combined qualities of scientific
background, artistic qualities,
dedication and the gift to tell
a fascinating story,” Harry Van
Hulten, test pilot with SXC
and global jury member that
selected Dowd.
“He is absolutely unique.
He taught me things in his
video that I didn’t understand
as well as I do now. He really
blew me away with that. I
can’t think of any better ambassador to tell the story about
this space trip than him.”
Dowd will receive astronaut training ahead of the
trip scheduled for 2014. The
“civilian astronaut” will be
able to chronicle his preparations and space flight itself in
a series of reports published
in Metro across the globe.
In reacting to the news,
Dowd told Metro, “I’m the
luckiest guy in the world and
for about 20 minutes, I’ll be the
luckiest guy in outer space!”
Dowd added that it’s “an
absolute honor” to be the part
of the world’s first space mission to be launched by a newspaper. “To say this is a once-ina-lifetime event is an understatement. This is the first
time ever this sort of mission
is happening and I am elated
to be a part of history.”
Candidates submitted descriptions on
why they were perfectly suited for a
space mission to win a trip into space.
Justin Dowd of Worcester, Mass., won Metro’s
contest to take a trip to space.

Fourth time is the charm?
Jesse James has tied the
knot for wedding No. 4,
marrying drag racer Alexis
DeJoria in Malibu this weekend after dating for less
than two months, according to Star magazine. James’
most recent marriage, to
Sandra Bullock, ended
in divorce in 2010 after
publicly humiliating her
with his infidelity. DeJoria
seems more forgiving —
and totally loaded. She’s the
daughter of billionaire Paul
Mitchell co-founder John
Paul DeJoria, who also
helped launched Patron
tequila and the House of
Blues nightclub chain.
“Jesse’s always had a
man-crush on John Paul,
and what better way to
get close to him than
to get hitched to his
daughter?” a source says.
“But this marriage will be

ishing the project without
Jackson is “disrespectful.”
A Michael Jackson album
without his input could be
a disaster for his legions of
fans eagerly awaiting the
CD, especially since the
King of Pop was known for
his attention to detail. But
there are some who are optimistic.
“It’s not like they found
a bunch of old records and
decided to put out an album to make money. These
are songs he was involved
with,” explains Pup Dawg,
the music director at JAMN
94.5 in Boston.
The real question will
be: Does it live up to Jackson’s other work?
Some within the industry are still skeptical. But
many fans won’t care, and
their curiosity will drive
them to the store or online
— a troubled Michael Jackson album is better than
none at all, to them.
“The song with Lenny
Kravitz is a Michael record.
That just feels like a
Michael Jackson record,”
says Geespin, assistant program director for New
York’s Power 105.1 radio
station. “Truth is, I’d rather
hear music from the
biggest and best artists
than not hear it. It’s still
Michael. It’s still the biggest
artist of all time. Would you
rather not hear it?”

The new CD features a slew of
guest stars,
including:
Weezer, as they appeared on “The Blue Album,” 16 years ago, from left: drummer Pat Wilson, Cuomo, former bassist Matt Sharp and guitarist Brian Bell.
Akon
The first phase of Weezer’s career is an embattled one for singer Rivers
Cuomo. With their self-titled 1994 debut, they
achieved instant and massive buzz based on their
fun singles and silly videos,
which MTV played on
heavy rotation. (Yes, it was
a different era, kids. Videos
on MTV!) But the band’s
shallow success wasn’t
enough for Cuomo. So with
the band’s second album,
“Pinkerton,” he got more
personal, and hoped critics
and fans would follow him
into the deep end. They
didn’t — at least not right
away — and it would be
five years before anyone
would hear another note
from the band.
“I guess part of me assumed that it was going to
be very successful and I’d
become like this superstar,
because the record was so
focused on me. And I probably entertained some
Their duet,
“Hold My
Hand,” was
the first single to debut.
After
will.i.am complained about
the song’s release, Akon told
the press, “These records
would have come out
whether he was alive or
dead.”
50 Cent
It’s hard to
imagine
Jackson and
50 Cent
hanging out,
but apparently, they had a connection: According to 50 Cent
rival The Game, Michael
called him once in hopes of
ending the feud by recording a three-way track.

Weezer’s current dates,
dubbed “The Memories
Tour,” celebrate the
band’s first two albums
— their self-titled 1994
debut, which has come
to be known as “The
Blue Album” because of
the background against
which the band stands,
and their 1996 followup, “Pinkerton.” On the
first night of the engagement, the band goes
through a short set of
greatest hits in reverse
chronological order and
plays the first album in
its entirety. On the second night, they begin
with a different set of
hits and then play
“Pinkerton” from start

doubts, maybe it will totally
fail and sell half as much as
‘The Blue Album’ or something,” says Cuomo. “And it
came out and sold a tenth
of ‘The Blue Album’ —
which, in those days, was
an incredible drop. And it
wasn’t just commercial, but
the critics pretty uniformly
hated it. And it was just the
beginnings of online feedback too, so you could go
on Amazon and see all the
negative feedback from the
fans of the first record. And
boy, that was just crushing
for me, all of that together.
And it took awhile to build
up the confidence to even
step back in the spotlight
again.”
During the band’s hibernation, fans began to take
to the brash sounds and
emotional lyrics of “Pinkerton,” and the album arguably became responsible
for the advent of the genre
known as emo. But when
Cuomo did step back into
that spotlight, Weezer
emerged as something of
an armored unit, with an
arsenal of songs that mostly
seemed to be short, poppy
and almost escapist, like
“Island in the Sun” and
“Hash Pipe.” And listening
to the recently released
deluxe edition of “Pinkerton” with rare acoustic versions of devastating songs
like “Why Bother?”, one
has to wonder if Cuomo
thinks he ever reached
down so deeply again in his
songwriting.
“Yes. I do,” he says before
a long pause. “But — I
know some of our core fans
would get upset when I say
something like this — but I
feel like ‘Beverly Hills’ was
an extremely honest and
deep song, and they take it
to be the opposite, which
has always perplexed me.”

The beauty of St. Thomas is just a cruise away.
The 130,000-ton Carnival Dream — Carnival Cruise Lines’ newest and largest ship — sits off the coast of Monaco, ready to patrol the waters of the Caribbean.
Planning a family vacation can be a daunting experience when trying to
accommodate the entire clan Cruise ships offer a one-stop shop, complete
with luxury, entertainment — and an exorbitant amount of food
Five star: Five-star cruises
are not necessarily the best
— but they are usually the
most exclusive, and, resultingly, expensive. Five-star
lines — such as Crystal and
Princess — cater to the
most discriminating passengers.
Before you go!
Check the weather: To a
certain extent, this is an
impossible request. Cruise
planning often occurs
months before the voyage,
so there’s not much to be
done if, let’s say, a hurricane
decides to breeze on by (as it
did on this intrepid reporter’s last cruise excursion). Still, it never hurts to
be prepared.
Motion in the ocean: Prone
to motion sickness? Pack
some Dramamine. Duh.
Do your homework: The
most important thing to find
is what will fit your own personal tastes. World Ocean &
Cruise Liner Society
(www.wocls.org) is a good
place to start.
Four star: These ships’
amenities will all be slightly less — including the
price. Rooms tend to be a
bit smaller, but there is usually more attention to shipboard activities and the
clientele trends younger.
Three star: Meet the bread
and butter of the cruise industry. Passengers can expect a fairly good value for
the cost.
Two star: These “economy” lines are generally
more sparse in every way
from the above cruises —
meaning they are less expensive, smaller and more
crowded.

It’s a common misconception that Caribbean cruises and itineraries are pretty much the same. Each island and has its own personality and style some derived from their colonial
culture, others from their
geography. It’s quite possible to take as many as four
or five Caribbean cruises
and repeat very few islands — and have a completely different experience on each.
One-week Caribbean
cruises come in three distinct flavors: Eastern,
Western and Southern.
Short cruises of less than

ports in the Bahamas and
sometimes Key West, Fla.

Trend. With “Girls”
a hit and plus-sized
models becoming
the norm, we
wonder: Are the
days of the blonde
bimbo over?
star/creator Lena Dunham
is, well, average-looking.
She’s a chubby, tattooed,
thin-haired
26-year-old.
She’s normal.
The hype comes at
the perfect time for the
“real beauty” movement
— and for this Metro Sex
Issue, themed “Feel Good
Naked.” Within the past
month, plus-size model
Jennie Runk made headlines when H+M debuted
her modeling swimwear
(despite being a dress size
14-16, not 0). Dove soap, on
the tails of an ad campaign
featuring plus-size women,
launched an “anti-Photoshop” app that restores images to their original form.
And “amateur” porn is the
most popular category on
YouPorn, ranking higher
than “blondes.” The house
that Jenna Jameson built is
crumbling. The question is:
How quickly?
The biggest sex story of the
past year didn’t happen
between Christian and Anastasia in some porn your
mom read — it happened
in Brooklyn when Adam
banged Hannah and probably gave her an STD. The
HBO series “Girls,” with its
frank depiction of bad dirty
talk, venereal diseases,
abortions, miscarriages and
condom spill, is all about
sex. But unlike “Sex and the
City” before it, this show is
a global hit partly because

people are arguing.
We should focus on

THE SEX ISSUE
IN 2013
‘FATKINI’
DESIGNER
GABI GREGG
Tip from Corset editor
In one year, or in five? “I
don’t think five years is
enough,” says Gabi Gregg,
26, a plus-size blogger. Her
work went viral last year
after she posted photos of
herself looking sensual in
a “fatkini” and, this week,
she launches her own line
of swimwear (see story, at
right). “But peo-
ple like Lena
Dunham and Louis
C.K. are opening doors.
Just the fact that her body
makes people so angry —
if you read the comments,
people are telling her to
put on clothes. She has said
that only makes her want
to do it more. It’s my favorite show.”
Arielle Loren doesn’t
watch “Girls,” but also traffics in blunt depictions of
sex. Her magazine Corset
(www.corsetmagazine.
com) features graphic nudity and first-person erotica,
and resembles someone’s
beautifully photographed
diary. It became profitable
after a year, and Loren sees
it as part of a movement.
“The way we learn about
sex, the pornography industry drives a lot of that
consciousness,” says Loren,
a 27-year-old American. “It
starts to inform the way
we think about ‘sexy’ from
•
Do the self-work. “Start
by walking around your
house naked. If you have
a roommate, shut your
door and walk around
your room naked. The
more you get comfortable with your naked self
— not covering yourself
up with a towel every
time you take a shower,
taking the time to be in
your body and open like
that — your confidence
will slowly and steadily
increase.”
Loren, on how to feel
good naked
The Gabifresh.com
blogger just crafted
a line for Swimsuitsforall.com.
In school, did you realize
you were bigger than
everybody else?
Yes and no. I wasn’t teased
too much, luckily. It was
mostly internal, feeling insecure next to my
classmates, if they were
thinner than me or had
blonde hair. Nobody had
to say anything. And I
started trying to diet when
I was in middle school and
high school, and it wasn’t
until college that I came to
accept myself.
Dunham is just one of the “Girls.” The actress has said she wouldn’t want a body like a Victoria’s Secret model. / HBO
an early age. But there are
multifaceted aspects of sex
and what it can really be,
which we explore in the
magazine. That goes from
everything you can do in
the bedroom — physically
— but also how we understand our bodies.”
A recent Corset photoshoot, “Breasts in Erotic
Daylight,”
features
a
brown bosom with stretch
marks. “We definitely
don’t airbrush,” says Loren.
“There’s something very
sexy about that. Being able
to see the hair follicles on a
breast or the stretch marks
on a woman’s stomach.”
She now has subscribers
here, in Canada, Peru, Brazil, Sweden and beyond.
And yet post a photo of
a plus size-model online
and you see not everyone’s
as accepting. Exhibit A: Jennie Runk.
Junk in
Runk’s trunk
The excitement (and de-
9
bate) over Runk’s H+M
campaign made it all the
way to Italy, where she was
working in May. It led to at
least one sleepless night. “I
was thinking about all the
media I’ve been getting
and my mom reads a lot
of the comments and she
said, ‘I can’t believe somebody called you fat,’” remembers the 24-year-old,
“and some people on the
other side were like, ‘The
curvier bodies are better!’
and it’s so ridiculous that
people are having these ar-
guments. What if some girl
looks at these pictures and
looks exactly like me: How
is she going to feel?”
She turned to Facebook
with a post. “I’ve noticed
that people like to debate
what kind of body is better
than another,” she wrote.
“This is all wrong! To me,
true beauty is defined by
a healthy lifestyle and a
genuine personality. Bodies are just meaty things
that carry our personhoods
around for us.” A week
later, Runk is still riled up.
She notes that “bigger”
models are getting more
work, but “we should focus
on embracing all sizes,” she
says bluntly.
“Should” is different
than “are.” The chart below
shows the Sex Symbols of
2013, as selected by our editors from a pool of working
actors who have notable
projects this year — there
are more shapes and sizes
than there would have been
in 1985, but it’s still very
thin and white. “We’re going in the right direction,”
says Gregg, “but ... ”
“This argument,” adds
Runk, “is going to be a
thing of the past when —
honestly, I don’t know.” On
Facebook, she was more
hopeful, saying it’s “our
differences that make us
remarkable.”
She laughs when she
hears that again. “I’ve been
told before I’m a little too
naive.”

How do the suits, um,
work?
What do you mean by
work? [Laughs]
They fit so well. Is it made
with a binding material,
with latches or something?
Actually, no. I’ve had
people ask about support,
of course, but there’s nothing special about the fabric
of the suits. It’s normal
bathing suit fabric. In
terms of the Galaxy suit,
what makes it so special
is the print — it’s graphic

and fun and looks great
because it’s so busy that
it — I don’t want to say it
distracts the eye, because I
don’t care about that sort
of thing, but that’s what it
does. And the high-waisted
cut looks great on all
women.
Are you OK with the term
“fatkini”?
Yes. I didn’t use it this
year because it went so
viral last year, and it was
inspiring for many people
but took away from it, for
others, because they were
stuck on the word and got
angry and started commenting. It’s a reclamation
of the word “fat,” especially in our community,
we all get it. When it goes
outside the community,
people get angry and send
emails. But I’m fine with it.
At the end of the day, it’s a
fatkini because I’m fat and
wearing a bikini. [Laughs]
How much do you weigh
now?
I believe I’m around 225.
How tall are you?
I’m 5-foot-5.
Do you get flack for not
being “fat enough?” Early
on, there were some
comments.
I don’t get a lot. Once in a
while, like when the bikini
pictures come out. It’s funny to see half the people
commenting are disgusted
by my body and the other
half are like, fat women
saying, “She’s shaped so
nicely so it doesn’t count!
I have fat hanging from
my arm that she doesn’t
have!” I try to avoid the
comments on other sites.
Some women wish they
could see women bigger
than me in a bikini and I
understand that but I can
only be myself. SAM CASTONE

positively jazzy — colorful clouds
