FLUSH OF
LOVE?
The rst time I stayed
with my boyfriends
family, I ooded the
bathroom when I ushed
the loo (too much paper
and old plumbing!). I tried
to soak up the mess with
the fancy hand towels but
the leak wouldnt stop. Then
his entire family came in to
see if I was OK. Mortifying.

PARTY STARTER
One Friday at the end of the day, my
colleagues opened the wine and I annexed
the sound system. I cranked up R Kellys
Ignition and sang along, but nothing was
coming out of the speakers. I kept messing
about with the sound until my boss stormed
out. It was blaring into his office on repeat.
JESS, 25, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, KENT
BRIEF ENCOUNTER
I left a pair of neon pink pants in my boyfriends pocket as a kinky reminder after wed had
sex in his car. Days later his mum handed them back to me (freshly washed and ironed) when
I popped over for dinner, and said, Ooh, theyre such a lovely colour! Where did you get
them? I whispered Primark and died on the spot. LUISA*, 31, PODIATRIST, DUNDEE

I forgot the

office keys on
my rst day as
a receptionist, but instead
of calling the manager to
let me in and admitting
Id been scatty, I decided
to climb in through the
window. Of course, it
didnt quite go to plan
my new boss found me
stuck halfway through
with my legs dangling
in the air. A truly fabulous
rst impression, Im
sure youll agree.

I was desperately trying to
wriggle into a pair of Topshop
jeans that were a size too small
and lost my balance I fell
through the changing room
curtain and landed half-naked on
the corridor oor, with the jeans
around my ankles. Shout out to
the store assistant who helped
me up and managed to keep a

What if Gatsby could
Instabrag? As the
latest Austen update
comes to your Kindle,
we bring three more
vintage texts into 2016
ed like to clear
something up,
Pride And Prejudice
fans: Elizabeth Bennet and
Mr Darcy actually met at
a Fourth of July barbecue.
Well, according to author
Curtis Sittenfelds retelling
of the story. In Eligible (out
this month), Liz (she detests
people calling her Lizzie) is
a single, thirtysomething
writer living in New York. Her
sisters are too busy obsessing
with their Paleo diets to get
jobs and Mrs Bennet is
desperate to marry them all
off, especially with her eldest
daughter Janes 40th birthday
approaching. Meanwhile,
Fitzwilliam Darcy is a top
brain surgeon who gets
introduced to Liz by his friend
Chip Bingley, a reality TV star
and local doctor. Its the latest
work for the Austen Project,
in which writers rework the
19th-century authors novels.
But, what if other classics were
given a modern-day twist?
By F Scott Fitzgerald
1925: Enigmatic self-made millionaire
Jay Gatsby is trying to win back lost love
Daisy Buchanan through throwing wild,
expensive parties on his Long Island estate.
2016: Billionaire rapper Jay-Gatsby, aka
Jay-G, hosts lavish private parties in his
Hamptons summer house. Hes hoping
to impress his wife, who has largely ignored
him since taking up Bootcamp Pilates.
Then: One emotion after another
crept into her face like objects into
a slowly developing picture.
Now: She looked happy but it
was hard to tell with all the Botox.
Film version starring: Kanye West as
narrator Nick Carraway, telling the story
via a stream of nonsensical tweets.

C O S M O P O L I TA N
By Leo Tolstoy
1869: Nice guy Count Pierre Bezukhov
inherits tons of cash but gets friend-zoned
by the woman he loves, Natasha Rostova.
But then everyone dies in a bloody war so
they decide to give it a go anyway.
2016: A 10 million penthouse overlooking
Londons Hyde Park isnt enough for
oligarch Pierre. He spends his days stalking
the one who got away, Tash, on Facebook.
With no other way to get on the property
ladder, Tash reconsiders a life with Pierre.
Then: Everything I know, I know
because of love.
Now: What does Wikipedia say?
Film version starring: Mates who should
actually be together? Leonardo DiCaprio
and Kate Winslet. Obviously.

Perrie grew up in
South Shields, Tyne and
Wear. Her parents,
Debbie and Alexander,
were both singers and
encouraged her to apply
for The X Factor. She was
studying for a BTEC
in performing arts at
Newcastle College, and had plans to
become a drama teacher. l love my
mum more than anything in the
world, she says.Id cling to her leg
when I was younger I still do. I sit
on her knee. I was really shy at school
and getting whisked away at such a
young age was scary [Perrie was 18
when Little Mix won The X Factor]. It
was really hard for me and Jade to say

Jade Thirlwall
Jade is in a panic surprising given
shes the undisputed Dalai Lama of the
group, all serene smiles undercut by
a surprisingly deep calm for someone
so young. Shes recently started dating
Jed Elliott from The Struts but they
have both just embarked on tours. Im
scared, she says. She speaks in a soft
Geordie lilt like Cheryl FernandezVersinis.Hes going to
America and were
headed all over the place,
too. Its going to be really
hard but we will
FaceTime and hopefully
he will come and watch
us. Well see.
JADE
Theyve only been
seeing each other for
a couple of months, but
Jade is clearly smitten. The others keep
ribbing her about it.Its good dating
someone whos in the same industry,
she says.He gets it which is handy,
but its also really hard because hes
just as busy as we are, if not busier. We
have a day here and there.
Like Perrie, Jade grew up in South
Shields they had mutual friends but,
weirdly, didnt know each other. The

Youre 20 years old, desperate to be

competition it should be the most
exciting time of your life, right? Not
for Jesy. Despite winning the nal
of The X Factor, much of her time on
the show was plagued by self-doubt
thanks to online trolls making cruel
jibes about her weight. It used to
make me cry, she says. She has a
strong Essex accent and scrolls

collectively worth 33
million), but they are
most denitely wealthy.
And one of the
highlights for LeighAnne has been helping
her family nancially.
My family struggled
and worked hard, and
knowing one day Ill
be able to buy both my
mum and my dad a
house is good, she says.At Christmas,
I put a surprise lump sum into my
close family members bank accounts,
she says.It was an amazing feeling.
Leigh-Anne was on a gap year when
she applied for The X Factor and credits
her dad, John, for pushing her.He
took me to stage schools and said,
Youre going to do it, whereas my
mum wanted me to go to uni. So
I have a connection with him because
he encouraged me to go on the show.
Leigh-Anne plans to use some of the
money she has earned to buy a house
with her boyfriend of three years,
Ashford Town FCs Jordan Kiffin.
Jordan is a regular xture on Little
Mixs tours.He comes to watch us
a lot, she says.We cant get rid of
him! So thats pretty good.
Leigh-Anne clearly enjoys a good
ttime on tour and says she was quite
badly behaved before she met Jordan.

She may be a quarter of one of the

still lives with her mum. And shes
a bit embarrassed to admit it.Its time
for me to stand on my own two feet,
she says.I dont want to live with my
mum any more! Unlike many women
her age, Leigh-Annes decision to live
at home in Buckinghamshire, where
she grew up, has nothing to do with
money. The Little Mix members insist
they arent millionaires (although

you are
udno,
a quaint little tourist town in north
Wales. You have only ever left the
country a handful of times to go to
Europe with your mum and sister.
Although soon youll be off to
Birmingham to train to be an opera
singer. This is your life plan; so far, so
good. But heres the thing, what you
really, really want to be is a model.
You havent told anyone because, well,
models dont come from Llandudno,
do they? Models arent trainee opera
singers either. And you dont know
any models who are a size 16.
Fast-forward four years and you are
on a beach. A stylist fusses with your
hair as a photographer snaps away.
He is taking pictures of you. For this
very magazine. Thats because you are
a model now. You beat more than
2,000 girls to become the winner of
Britains Next Top Model 2016. You
are a healthy size 8 too, a size you
reached sensibly and through sheer
determination. You have just come
back from a shoot in Jamaica and in
the next few weeks you will move to
London. This is your new life plan.
The one you thought would never
happen. The one you made happen.
If you watched Britains Next
Top Model earlier this year then
youll remember 22-year-old Chloe
Keenan as the quiet, softly spoken
one who kept out of trouble and had
the sort of aristocratic beauty that

HEY,
HOW DO
I WEAR
The slip dress?
1 WEAR IT OUT
3 STRAP
IT ON
4 TONE IT
DOWN
Layering is a technique
made for the slip dress. Try
wearing yours underneath
a loose, masculine white
shirt, or even another
dress, so that a trim of silk
or lace pokes out from
underneath the hem. An
oversized jumper that hits
the top of your thighs?
Thatll do nicely too.
2 CLING CONTROL
However, we at Cosmopolitan have
noticed that static cling can be an
issue: under our arms, between our
legs and, worst of all, on our tummies
(gah!). The good news: weve found
a smart way to x it. Before popping
on your slip, run it through a wire coat
hanger. The metal discharges the
electricity and removes the static.
Someone pass us a Nobel Prize.

DOES SHE

The skincare industry insists
your millennial skin is

must act now. Well, should you?
asks Ingeborg van Lotringen i
LOOK
OUT,
GEN Y:
Beauty brands are making a play for your faces. Aware
as they are of how hyper-informed and photo-ready you
are, the days of being left to your own devices with some
moisturiser and a cleansing wipe are long gone. Noticeable
lines may seem a lifetime away, but collagen production
begins to stall in your twenties, says, well, just about
everyone. Cliniques orange-tubed Pep-Start Eye Cream
is the rst of an age-defying franchise aimed at twentysomethings. Origins is expanding its successful Original
Skin range, squarely targeting so-dubbed quarter-lifers
who, they say,demand high-performance products to sort
out discolouration and dullness issues. Even cosmeceutical
brand Skinceuticals offers a serious emulsion (with an
equally serious 96 price tag) to correct the early signs of
photoageing. I could go on. Of course your skin will have
issues it didnt when you were a toddler. But does that
mean you should splash the cash on problems that are
just starting? Or can you smell a marketing rat?
DANGER, DANGER!
Skincare companies tell us
twenty-something skins are
besieged like never before
by pollution, stress, and hard
living. Air pollution is on
the up, with soot, exhaust
fumes and gases all proven
to exacerbate inammation,
wrinkles, age spots and
acne, says Professor Jean
Krutmann of the Leibniz
Research Institute for
Environmental Medicine
in Germany. Ultrane
toxic particles in gases are
especially damaging and we
are now heavily exposed to
those in big European cities.

SKIN PRESCRIPTIONS
Thats a prediction most
skin pros think might
come to pass, provided
you worship at the altar
of prevention.
Starting on agepreventative skincare in
your twenties will stave off
the onset of age-related skin
changes, says dermatologist
Stefanie Williams.
Your two most important
age-defying choices are
a high-grade antioxidant
serum with SPF30 or more.
Using the right products
consistently from as early
as you can wont just keep
your skin looking younger.
It will be healthier as well,
meaning fewer breakouts,
less eczema and sensitivity.

So heres what you need to know now for a beauty regime
thatll keep you looking fresh forever (well, for a whole
lot longer anyway)
SLS-FREE CLEANSER
BARRIER BUILDERS
Increasingly, a
top-notch lipid
barrier (also called acid
mantle) is seen as the key to
problem-free, age-defying
skin. It consists of lipids
(theres a surprise) and
delightful healthy bacteria;
helping these proliferate
will build a self-hydrating,
self-protecting ecosystem.
Look for essential fatty
acids, niacinamide (vitamin
B3) and pre- and
probiotic complexes.

Vitamins A, C and E
are the antioxidants
best-proved by science and
loved by experts. Add as many
others as you like (via green
tea, lycopene); the wider
the variety the better, as they
all rugby-tackle different
murderous free radicals. Your
in-built stash of antioxidants
begins to deplete you guessed
it in your twenties, so you
need these bad boys.

because I cant have sex with

and we even watched First

Laura is also a waitress.
Sam manages a caf.
Q: Do the couples have
