Vanity Fair: The Rap Issue

by Kari Tervo

I'm a big supporter of print media. I know I'm sitting here writing on the internet, but there's something more thoughtful and curated and edited about words on a printed page that makes print media very valuable. No, what's on the newsstand isn't breaking news, but you can find breaking news in 7 billion places on the internet (there is one blog for every man, woman, and child on the planet). Magazines are where you find in-depth analysis and commentary on that news, as opposed to the half-baked punditry with click-bait headlines you see rushed out for page hits on the internet. So let's read magazines!

In today's review: The November, 2013 issue of Vanity Fair.

How Lena Dunham Can Rock Her Next Red Carpet

by Kari Tervo

I don't really care that much about fashion. And I'm delighted that, as I get older and more comfortable with myself and how to dress this odd body of mine, I care even less about fashion. I'm on my own terms. I generally live in athletic skirts and tank tops, but when it's time to clean up, I know the go-to cuts that will help me feel my best.

It took me a long time to learn how to dress my curvy 5'0" frame. Note to critics: It could be a lot worse! The best way to describe my body is "Marilyn Monroe, by Picasso." I know how hard it is to dress a curvy body, especially when clothes are primarily designed for stick-thin women. That's the designers' fault, not the fault of women who don't have stick-thin bodies.

Women in Hollywood have it especially hard. If you want to make it to the red carpet, you have to have a red carpet look. It might be a little easier to shop with a stylist and a lot more pin money (that was my inner 50s sock hop girl speaking), but searching for the perfect curvy-girl dress can still be a snipe hunt.

Case in point: Here is Lena Dunham in her 2013 Emmys dress.
