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.”

morning two-car fire in
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
injuries. METRO

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

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.

— their self-titled 1994
debut, which has come
to be known as “The
Blue Album” because of

which the band stands,
and their 1996 followup, “Pinkerton.” On the

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
a week generally include
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

“It’s ridiculous that
people are arguing.
We should focus on
embracing all sizes.”

“We don’t airbrush.
There’s something
sexy about that.”

So yes, how

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

her line to follow the flow of the

positively jazzy — colorful clouds
of kinetic energy, compressing the
length of a composition into a single
explosive, expressive instant.

I got a chauffeur service. #MBTA” SEEMS THE T IS A-OK FOR @NATESTRIKESAGEN For more information visit masslottery.com or your local lottery retailer 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- From left James Bishai, Sofi Madison, Bobby Dickens, Nick Robertson, Rachel Henry and Natalie Sarno in the South End. A wacky watch can add fun to your ensemble “I have a lot of friends that will wear one or two items to add a touch of something unique — like a Watchout! watch.” 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.” BISHAI Innovative advertising executions Quick and Informative Read Original Content Metro offers premium and integrated options for advertisement placement. Metro is designed to be read within the average commuter time. 90% of Metro’s news is produced by Metro journalists. Metro has a larger editorial staff worldwide than CNN. MORGAN ROUSSEAU morgan.rousseau@metro.us yesterday ruled an early morning two-car fire in 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 building,” and said that two 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 injuries. METRO The mouths of babes “We’re a young-hearted generation, and we grew up with Nickelodeon and Madonna. We were there for the Walkman and the CD player. We’ve seen it all; and I think we had it good.” JAMES BISHAI “It is empowering to have a sense of youth, fun and vitality by incorporating brighter colors and novelty things that have a little bit of a retro aspect.” JAY CALDERIN

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.

They’re 9-2 against squads with a .500 record or better at the time of play — the only team in the Eastern Conference with a winning record in that category. Among their victories are signature wins over contenders like the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls, the Denver Nuggets and the Atlanta Hawks. The C’s have won big, too. They have eight double-digit wins on the year, and they’ve yet to be beaten by double digits. 3 In the NBA the Celtics he Celtics are going streaking! No, not through the quad and to the gymnasium. But green hats are suggested. The C’s have run off 10 straight wins, and hold the best record in the East at 19-4. The most impressive part about the record is that it’s come with their offseason acquisitions spending the majority of their time on the bench. Aside from the surprise production from Shaquille O’Neal, the C’s hopes of stacking the roster with big free agents hasn’t worked out as planned. Jermaine O’Neal has been nonexistent, and Delonte West has missed all but five games due to a 10game suspension and a broken right wrist. That said, the wins have still come.

I got my first article published when I was 10, in the community newspaper. When I realized I was getting paid for it, I knew it was the career for me. I just wanted to support myself doing something I loved. When did you discover the magazine industry? When I was 11, I did my own magazine that I delivered to the neighbors. I would photocopy it and drop it off to all the people on the street. I actually sent it to the Queen of England, and I got a letter back from her lady-in-waiting. I’m sure she didn’t actually read it, but it did very much inspire me. What advice would you give to an 11-year-old today who wanted to edit Marie Claire? I would tell them to read and look at all the best magazines you can find. My favorite thing is to spend time in European newsagents just picking up Joanna Coles helms Marie Claire.

Without internship experience, you’re seen as a risk to companies that are looking to hire graduates that have already put their education to use.

Furthermore, 55 percent of those who held internships found their current job through networking. Getting your first internship will be the most challenging, because employers will be looking for a track record. Here are some tricks to scoring your first — or next — internship: Use your current network Your best chance at landing Internships provide real-world experience that will be priceless when you start your job search. an internship is to ask your family and friends to hire you or to refer you to someone else.

SPONSORED BY Caught between a blond and a cute face Reese Witherspoon’s affections were torn in story and reality when filming with Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd in ‘How Do You Know’ Why some training for the movie was totally wasted on her Romantic comedies are nothing new for Reese Witherspoon, but her role in James L. Brooks’ new film, “How Do You Know,” presented some interesting challenges. “This character is a woman who has a hard time conveying her emotions — and doesn’t even really want to talk about things,” Witherspoon says of professional Physically demanding rom-com role? Not an oxymoron 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 with all these Quoted “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.” REESE WITHERSPOON, ON GETTING COMFY WITH HER “HOW DO YOU KNOW” CO-STARS Olympians, softball players,” she says. “I’m not really that athletic. So I did that for four months, three hours a day. I’m still not any good at 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.” NED EHRBAR METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES METRO’S EDITORIAL IS DESIGNED TO SUIT THE COMMUTER LIFESTYLE – ALL THE NEWS, SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT OF THE DAY IN A QUICK, FRIENDLY FORMAT.

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.

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 his fourth.

COMMEN COURTESY OF EPIC RECORDS 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?” G.

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.

On the second night, they begin with a different set of hits and then play “Pinkerton” from start to finish. � POST YOUR COMMENTS Cuomo rocking out on a recent “Memories Tour” show. 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.” Masters favorite makes plenty of mistakes If Tiger tames putter, he could chase down leaders {page 17} Making a ‘Long Story Short’ Bloomberg’s Black eyes PAT HEALY pat.healy@metro.us If you go Weezer The Memories Tour Tonight and tomorrow The Orpheum One Hamilton Place, Boston SOLD OUT Colin Quinn on his new HBO special and, oh yeah, the history of the world {page 14} Schools chief’s tortured tenure — and abrupt resignation — could mar mayor’s political future She blemished third term, some say {page 02} Sponsored Editorial: Carnival PHOTOS: CARNIVAL/ANDY NEWMAN Set your vacation on cruise control cruising 16 SPONSORED BY + All hands, feet and bodies on the decks!

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. BRAYDEN SIMMS brayden.simms@metro.us 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 a week generally include ports in the Bahamas and sometimes Key West, Fla.

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 The model The editor “It’s ridiculous that people are arguing. We should focus on embracing all sizes.” “We don’t airbrush. There’s something sexy about that.” Arielle Loren founder, Corset magazine Jennie Runk plus-size model for H+M So yes, how quickly? 8 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.” SAM CASTONE Metro World News 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 Quoted “It wasn’t until college that I came to accept myself.” Gabi Gregg, writer, designer 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 Hot list: The sex symbols of 2013.
