If you’ve ever had to drag a space heater into your cubicle or resort to that workplace Snuggie tucked under your desk to beat the office chill, New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon understands how you feel.
Nixon, the SATC alum up against Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, sparked a conversation we didn’t know we needed over office thermostats when her team requested that event organizers turn up the heat (literally) at Wednesday night’s scheduled debate between the two, hosted by New York station WCBS-TV.
Cuomo reportedly prefers his AC blasting high, but because Nixon refuses to shiver through her first and only debate with New York’s current governor, she’s asking for a comfortable 76 degrees. According to The New York Times, Nixon strategist Rebecca Katz wrote to WCBS-TV with the request, noting that working conditions are “notoriously sexist when it comes to room temperature, so we just want to make sure we’re all on the same page here.”
In other words, blame the patriarchy for your chattering teeth.
The idea of sexist room temperatures has now ignited a Cold Room War of sorts. The conversation is, in part, a matter of workplace attire deemed appropriate for men and women: Men can usually don a suit and feel perfectly comfortable in an arctic room. But for anyone who shows up for a 9-to-5 in a dress or a skirt, office climate quickly becomes an issue.
Kerry Howley, a professor at the University of Iowa, shared her perspective on Twitter and with the Times, saying that she feels like “cold office temperatures are a burden that are placed on women.”
“I feel like it affects performance in a way that is surprising to people. I become less effusive, less articulate, less extroverted when I’m uncomfortable with the temperature,” she added. Other women also chimed in quickly: “Cynthia Nixon asks for the debate hall to be 76 degrees, and I’m sitting here in my work Snuggie wondering if this is actually the opening salvo of the revolution,” writer Monica Hesse shared.
While the discussion may feel heated on the Internet, Governor Cuomo’s camp responded to the whole situation with a statement that can be best described as, well, chilly:
“Unlike Cynthia Nixon, the Governor has more important things to focus on than the temperature of a room,” Lis Smith, a Cuomo campaign spokeswoman told The Hill.
Nixon, for her part, isn’t letting this get in her way. She told Refinery 29 that she’ll debate Cuomo in a parka if she has to. We’re sure anyone sitting at their desk, wrapped in a blanket while doing their job effectively, can relate.
Many tops have vied to knock the plain white T-shirt from its pedestal, presenting itself as the perfect companion for your favorite jeans, the ideal layering item for fall, the easy piece you can throw on and go. Though some have come and gone, we think fall 2018‘s contender has staying power. It’s part wrap, part corset top: a blouse that’s fitted along the lower half of the torso but still billowy up top, preferably with long sleeves. The retro silhouette can be traced back to brands like Réalisation Par and Staud, which draw inspiration from vintage styles, plus the Western influence on the fall runways—those two forces combined make for quite the fall trend. Check out some of our favorite riffs on it, below.

At the back of Blue Smoke, an upscale New York City barbecue restaurant, a quiet table on the edge of the dining room becomes a safe haven. At almost six o’clock on the dot, Tiffany Haddish makes a beeline for our two-top like it’s a bunker. Her bodyguard, Tyrone, trails behind. She’s casual in jeans and a purple tie-dyed tee that reads, “Abracadabra.” We shake hands. She’s a bit flustered.
On the way here, she tells me, she was mobbed by a group of fans who began yelling her name at the top of their lungs. In a bit of #BlackGirlMagic, she quickly made them part of a joke. “I was like, ‘You gon’ blow up the spot like that?’ ” she says. “Then I start saying, ‘That’s my accountant, that’s my business manager,’ ” picking people out of the crowd and assigning them jobs in her imaginary entourage. With the fans properly confused, she and Tyrone were able to extract themselves from the situation. Abracadabra.
Ever since she was a girl, Haddish, now 38, has taken a line in the 1988 comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit to heart: “A laugh can be a very powerful thing. Sometimes it’s the only weapon we have in life.” It’s an ethos that has served her well. Born in Los Angeles to an African American mother and a Jewish Eritrean refugee father, she was introduced to chaos at a young age. Her dad left when she was three, and her mother, who remarried and had four more children, suffered brain damage in a car accident when Haddish was eight. The injury, Haddish says, triggered her mother’s mental illness and abusive behavior. (“Because of her, I can take a punch like nobody’s business,” she wrote in her 2017 memoir, The Last Black Unicorn.) A few years after the accident, Haddish and her siblings entered the foster care system. When she was 15, a social worker gave her two options: undergo psychiatric therapy or attend the Laugh Factory Comedy Camp. She chose the latter.
There she was mentored by the likes of Richard Pryor, Charles Fleischer (the voice of Roger Rabbit), and Chris Spencer, and began building her name on the stand-up circuit. By the mid-aughts she’d nabbed appearances in TV movies and sitcoms like That’s So Raven and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. She parlayed those bit parts into recurring roles on Real Husbands of Hollywood and If Loving You Is Wrong, a Tyler Perry–produced drama for the OWN network. Although she had a small part in Jordan Peele’s 2016 comedy Keanu, it wasn’t until her breakout role in the 2017 smash hit Girls Trip that audiences really took notice. With an all-black female cast, the film brought in more than $100 million. And Haddish’s portrayal of outrageous sidekick Dina turned her into America’s foul-mouthed sweetheart overnight.
Suddenly Tiffany Haddish’s name was in lights everywhere. In this month’s Night School, she plays a hard-nosed teacher opposite a diploma-seeking Kevin Hart. The role, she says, was a natural fit. “I don’t mind being a teacher. I always say, ‘If this comedy thing doesn’t work out, I would probably be a sex education teacher,’” she jokes. “I would be the best sex education teacher. I guarantee none of my kids would have STDs after I finish teaching them.” Next up is the comedy Nobody’s Fool, which reunites her with the box-office-dominating Perry. “I worked with Tyler way back in the day and he would barely talk to me. I was, like, number eight on the call sheet. I was low on the totem pole,” she says. “Now I’m number, like, three on the call sheet. It’s a whole other ballpark.”
This new, top-of-the-call-sheet position is something she’s been envisioning. “My opportunities are whatever I create,” Haddish says. “My thoughts from two years ago is what’s happening right now. I really think my thoughts are my magic wand.” And her best friend of 20 years, Richea Jones, confirms that Haddish has always been able to predict her own future. “One day we were coming home from a club, and Tiffany and I sat in my car talking about our dreams,” she tells me. “She was like, ‘I’m going to meet Oprah and I’m going to make her collard greens.’ I’m like, ‘Girl, you’re going to make collard greens for Oprah? OK, we’re going to dream.’ But it really happened, and even bigger, because she made collard greens with Oprah on The Ellen DeGeneres Show [earlier this year], and the whole world got to see it.”
“I didn’t confirm shit. The reporter was like, ‘Sanaa Lathan?’ I’m, like, three drinks in, so of course I was about to laugh.”
Part of that visibility is because Haddish never stops hustling. Her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she detailed a flirtatious encounter with Leonardo DiCaprio, quickly racked up a million views. And then there’s the whole “Who bit Beyoncé?” drama, a bit of tabloid fluff she keeps poking and resurfacing through a variety of confessions. I ask whether going viral is always top-of-mind. “What is that expression?” she says. “‘If they’re not talking, then you’re not doing your job.’” (And was she really pointing the finger at Sanaa Lathan in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter? “I didn’t confirm shit. The reporter was like, ‘Sanaa Lathan?’ I’m, like, three drinks in, so of course I was about to laugh,” she says. “They thought I put her name out there, but I didn’t. I never said nothing. And Beyoncé didn’t say nothing. Let the person who [bit Beyoncé] bury themselves…. I ain’t trying to destroy this girl. I didn’t say shit about the girl.”)
Haddish may know how to keep people talking, but she has also honed her internal moral compass over the years. While hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards, where she sported a prosthetic belly during a Cardi B impression and roasted the famous attendees, she drew the line at anything cruel. “Some of the jokes, I was like, ‘I’m not saying that,’ ” she says. “First off, I’m not a slut bucket. Second off, that’s just rude. That’s not even funny. That’s being a bully. And I am not that person, so I’m not about to put that out there. They didn’t do anything to me, so why would I attack them?” (A joke about the Kardashians being like Star Wars—“They make a ton of money, a new one’s always popping up, and they’re ruled by a bossy overlord”—was her favorite, she says, because Kris Jenner laughed.) Audiences loved it all: Haddish, the show’s first ever black female emcee, boosted ratings 21 percent.

She’s also loyal to the ones who brought her. When we talk about Tyler Perry and the criticism that his films perpetuate black stereotypes, Haddish gets visibly upset. “I just think that a person is ignorant when they say, ‘Oh, you’re being a stereotypical black person.’ Well, what’s that? Explain that to me, because that’s an actual person, and everybody deserves to see themselves onscreen,” she says. “I feel like all facets deserve to be seen—from the doctors to the janitors to the baby mamas to the side chicks.” And she’s committed to playing women who look and talk just like her. “It’s funny because people are like, ‘Oh, Tiffany Haddish is ratchet.’ No, I’m your typical chick from the hood. And as ratchet as I might talk, or people might think I carry myself, I am making a living portraying myself.”
Being this self-aware is key to how Haddish navigates her career. She hopes to work with Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino one day. Though she hasn’t heard that Uma Thurman felt pressured by the Kill Bill director to perform a stunt she feared was unsafe, when I fill her in on the details, Haddish doesn’t waver. “I know how to handle people like that,” she says. “I don’t know Tarantino personally, but I would have to meet him and see if we vibe. If I felt comfortable, I would go for it. If I didn’t feel comfortable, no.” She has also known men who gleefully wield their power in insidious ways. “I’ve had experiences where directors or producers are like, ‘You want this job?’ ” she says, her voice dripping with innuendo. “I might get real bossy and say, ‘First off, don’t nobody want to see your little dick!’ I get loud, all that.”
Haddish has had to develop these defense mechanisms the hard way. First, there was the life-altering episode when, she says, a police cadet raped her at 17 years old. “That whole experience put me in such a messed-up place for a long time, and I ended up going to counseling,” she tells me, her voice breaking. She says she reported the incident at the time but still grapples with what justice would look like for her. “Me just yelling out people’s names with no thought behind it is pointless. I need a plan,” she says. “I could be a voice, but what’s a voice going to do—just keep talking? Or is there action behind it?” Until she sorts that out, the armor is staying put. “I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive,” she says. “You hear about, ‘Tiffany always hitting on somebody,’ but that’s to keep them from hitting on me.” And in 2013 she divorced William Stewart amid allegations he physically abused her. (Stewart has denied the claims.) When I ask whether she’s actively dating, she demurs. “I don’t really have time. And I’ve had enough somebodies,” she says. “I done ran through 38 dudes, OK? Body count, yeah. Mine is 38. Write it down. Let them know. I’ve had 38 experiences.”
“If [The Rock] can make $65 million, I can make $65 million.”
For now, she’s keeping her sights set on building her empire. Recently Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been her inspiration. “I’ve been studying him a lot on YouTube and stuff. I’m like, If he can make $65 million, I can make $65 million too,” she says. “I want to get on that Forbes magazine, not for the money, but to be an example to other foster youths that it don’t matter how low from the bottom you are, you can always rise to the top if you believe in yourself.”

In addition to serving as a role model for underprivileged youth (she’s considering fostering kids herself and often encourages fans to bring suitcases to her shows, which she donates to foster children), Haddish plans to continue supporting her family. “I’m just glad I got some money now, because now I can do a better job at taking care of them,” she says. “I got my mom out of the mental institution, like I said I would, in December, and I got her an apartment with my sister and a nurse that comes to her.” She also hopes to provide her siblings with financial security. “I ain’t never said this out loud, but I want to be able to give every one of my siblings a million dollars to create whatever they want to do,” she says. “That’s four million dollars that I don’t need.”
The check comes and Haddish drains her espresso. Brimming with caffeine, or perhaps her own brand of abracadabra, she flashes a winning smile. “I try my best not to be talking shit about nobody, because I want good things to stick to me,” she says. “Believing in myself is what got me to where I’m at. And when you do that, it comes right back.”

Cher’s tweets are just like her career: unpredictable. Sometimes they’re funny. Others are more serious. Most of them are political. Her account has been a staple on the Internet for eons, and it’s beloved by people of all ages. Millennials are just as obsessed with Cher’s tweets as are her diehard fans. With Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again coming out this weekend—in which Cher stars—we thought it’d be a perfect opportunity to look back at her best tweets. With so much garbage going on in the world, we all need a little reminder that Cher’s Twitter is still the best—full stop.
So let’s get started. People first started noticing Cher’s Twitter around 2012, when she posted several…mystifying tweets. Like, her tweets made as much sense as when Christina Aguilera started talking about “air rights” in Burlesque. Even still, though, they’re true works of art:
The Goddess of Pop knows a thing or two about clap-backs, as well. For a while in 2012, they seemed pointed at one Madonna Louise Ciccone. “WTF is MDNA” truthfully belongs on a billboard in Times Square. (For the backstory behind that, click here.)
For a First Lady known for wearing primarily high-end designer clothing, [Melania Trump]’s(/about/melania-trump) stepping out wearing fast fashion caught people’s attention at first; what was startling about the now infamous $39 Zara jacket was the message written across the back: “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” it read, clearly, as she boarded and disembarked a Texas-bound plane last week on a visit to children separated from their families at the U.S. border, a direct result of the policies of her husband’s administration. It made for a shocking image.
The reaction to it was swift and strong, ranging from angry to supportive to just downright confused. Stephanie Grisham, the First Lady’s communications director, issued an official response insisting that it was “just a jacket”; President Trump, meanwhile, tweeted that “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” was a message for the “Fake News Media.” So, which one was it?

When you’re the First Lady—of any country, but particularly of the U.S.—your clothing becomes more than just something you wear. It takes on a deeper meaning, becoming a reflection not only of your personality but also of the administration’s platforms, causes, and policies. Because of that, many in that position have spent a huge amount of time planning each and every appearance: Laura Bush famously joked in her 2010 memoir that she was entirely unprepared for the amount of designer clothing she was expected to wear as First Lady; Michelle Obama collaborated with twostylists while residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; Trump has been known to work with designer Hervé Pierre to select—and in some cases create—outfits.
The notion that any modern first lady would just go into her closet and pull out a jacket, any jacket, at the last minute to catch a flight—as Grisham insisted of Trump’s military-inspired Zara style—feels unlikely.
“I can only imagine that people advised her against it, but there was no way that this went unnoticed,” Corey Roche, a personal stylist and fashion expert whose clients include politicians in Washington, D.C., says to Glamour.

Many have pointed to a handful of hints that would contradict the statement , including Trump’s demonstrated penchant for luxury European designers (which makes one wonder how a seasons-old fast-fashion item would end up in the mix) and the criticism she received in September of last year for the “storm heels” she wore to board a plane headed to areas affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
It’s not the first time a First Lady’s fashion choices have ignited a debate among constituents. Mary Todd Lincoln was criticized for wearing expensive gowns in the midst of the Civil War; Nancy Reagan was disparaged for borrowing garments for borrowing garments, receiving warnings from White House lawyers that this had to be disclosed under the Ethics in Government Act; both Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton were called out at various points for wearing designer clothing while speaking about income inequality and poverty.
There’s a reason why a first lady’s wardrobe is considered news-worthy. “Just as we pay attention to what politicians say on Twitter, or in a video, we pay attention to what they wear because it says something about them,” says Amy Carleton, Ph.D., a lecturer of comparative media studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says.

Still, according to some, this incident stands out from a legacy of first lady fashion moments. “This wasn’t a gaffe—it was a strong political statement,” Beth Dincuff Charleston, a professor of fashion history at Parsons School of Design, tells us. “I can’t even think of something historically that is similar. This is just unheard of.”
“Of course, a jacket is not just a jacket when you’re first lady,” Charleston explains. “Everything Melania wears is very calculated, it’s a form of communication, and it’s meant to say something.”
Jessica Morgan, one of the fashion critics behind Go Fug Yourself, notes how “public figures choose what they wear very carefully because they know they’re going to be scrutinized. When you choose to wear an item of clothing with a message on it, you need to accept that people will assume that’s a message you’re attempting to convey. It’s literally written on your body.”
The response to Melania’s jacket has been layered: Some focused on the message written on it and what it could say about her opinion on her husband’s administration or a variety of issues the American public is facing; others dwelled on the optics of her wearing it on the day she was to meet with children who were torn from their families at the border. And, as with many controversial moments that play out in public, a counter-criticism of Trump’s jacket emerged—that the public discussion about it is a distraction from the more pressing issue of immigration and the separation of families at the border, and that focusing on it won’t solve anything.

“I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” was written across the First Lady’s back—clearly, legibly, and easily photographed. And the public still, for the most part, is trying to understand why Trump would wear that particular jacket, on that particular day, for that particular visit. She herself didn’t comment on it during her unannounced visit to the U.S. border. But the thing with graphic clothing is that it speaks for itself. And in this particular case, it only raises more questions.
The experts have varying opinions on what Trump could have meant by it.
“I think it was a straw poll from the administration, asking Trump supporters if they care [about what is happening at the border],” Charleston believes. “It was almost too inflammatory of a message for Trump to tweet, so they came up with this.”
Roche has a different take: “The public has seen [Trump] not staying in the White House [in the early months of the administration], slapping her husband’s hand away, but they haven’t really heard much from her. I think this is just another way of her saying she wants to do her own thing. That she has no interest in playing the typical role.”
Carleton offers a more blunt interpretation: “I’m someone who teaches rhetoric and communication and the importance of precision—there’s no other way to say it, but I really see it as a big ‘F U’ to everybody. I just don’t buy any other explanation.”

“Clothing has meaning. What you choose to wear is an expression of yourself,” says Morgan. “Just as you wouldn’t wear cutoff jean shorts to an important job interview, because you wish presumably to be taken seriously, nor should you, in my opinion, wear a jacket that literally says, ‘I don’t really care,’ to meet with children you purport to care about. It’s not shallow or strange for people to be attempting to parse what this means, or why she would decide to wear this.”
“This is an argument that she is making,” Carleton adds. “Just as we should pay attention to other messages from this administration, we should pay attention to this.”
Trump’s Zara jacket was so decidedly not “just a jacket” that many believe it will end up in the history books.
“This is going to be a watershed moment, as far as Melania goes,” Charleston argues. “It’s really a statement similar to Donald Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ hats, and I think these two political fashion statements will end up being compared historically. This is going to be remembered.”
I was brought up to be a germophobe. The lesson was that bacteria and germs are bad; cleanliness is good. Antibacterial soaps (which the FDA banned in 2016) were a must in our house. When I was a child, my doctors gave me a Z-Pak at the slightest chance of a cold. Even a trip to the dermatologist for breakouts meant coming home with both topical and oral antibiotics. My obsession against germs continued into my twenties. After I moved to New York City, I’d wash my hands until they were raw, trying to cleanse away the sooty grime of the city.
Turns out that the war against germs may be doing more harm to our health—and skin—than good. You’ve probably heard of superbugs, strains of bacteria that can’t be beat by antibiotics. The latest research suggests that long-term antibiotic use may be linked to a higher risk of obesity. And that squeaky-clean skin we’ve been conditioned to love? It’s on fire, says NYC dermatologist and author of The Beauty of Dirty SkinWhitney Bowe, M.D., who’s seen skin issues from rosacea to acne to eczema on the rise in her practice. So what’s up? Experts are increasingly pointing to impacts on the microbiome, the vital ecosystem of microorganisms that live in and on us. Here’s your step-by-step guide for protecting it.
Real beauty goes beyond the surface—and so do we. Sign up for our newsletter to get honest reviews, personal essays, and more every day.
Step 1: Work from the Inside Out
Research has shown that the gut, the brain, and the skin may all be intimately connected. “If we learn to nourish and protect the bacterial components of our body,” says Dr. Bowe, we can find a connection to our skin issues. Your way to a healthy body:
Cut the junk.
Eating fried, sugary, and processed foods all the time can lead to a condition called leaky gut, whereby toxic compounds and bacteria could get into the bloodstream and cause inflammation throughout your body, including your skin, Dr. Bowe explains. Stick with plant-based, whole foods that have a low glycemic index—think fruits and veggies, leafy greens, legumes, and grains like quinoa and steel-cut oats.
Eat probiotic-rich foods.
Dr. Bowe recommends adding fermented foods such as kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, kombucha, kimchi, and miso to your diet.
Consider supplements.
Look for probiotics that contain various strains of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria, and Bacillus coagulans bacteria, says Dr. Bowe.
Reduce stress.
Anxiety could also add to your skin issues. “Ongoing, chronic, slow-boil-type stress—not getting enough sleep, constant multitasking—takes a toll on our skin,” says Dr. Bowe. Early research shows that stress may impact the type of bacteria that grows in the gut, and that eating probiotic yogurt may improve skin health.
Cut back on antibiotics.
Dr. Bowe notes that while antibiotics seem like a panacea, we should be less reliant on them. Consider asking your doctor for alternatives, such as antibiotic-free topicals like retinol for acne.
Step 2: Balance your skin
In a world where eight-step cleansing routines are the new normal, it seems crazy to think that your skin was designed to take care of itself. But it was, and if you’re having skin issues, remember: More is not better. When your face is raw, irritated, and angry, it means your skin’s protective layer (a.k.a. barrier) that regulates moisture and includes the microbiome could be compromised. This may be due to a skin condition like rosacea or eczema, or it mightbe from overexfoliating or OD-ing on an intense active retinol. Your prescription for rebuilding your barrier:
Dial back on cleansing.
The focus, says San Francisco holistic skin expert Kristina Holey, should be “less sterilizing, less stripping away, and more nurturing.” Overwashing is a big no; swap out harsh cleansers for gentler creams and oils (we like Dove DermaSeries Gentle Cleansing Face Wash); skip scalding water (heat strips natural oils, which support good bacteria); and cleanse twice a day, tops. Also toss brushes that physically disturb your barrier. Your fingers are all you need.
Keep skin hydrated.
“Water is crucial for microbial growth on skin,” Dr. Bowe says, “so use products with hyaluronic acid and glycerin—things that trap moisture in skin—for a healthy microbiome.” For a finishing step, Holey suggests face oils with ceramides or fatty acids (we like Dermalogica Barrier Defense Booster).
Step 3: Boost your skin’s flora
“Generally, a healthy microbiome is one that’s diverse,” says Dr. Bowe. “You have trillions of bacteria on your skin, and ideally they should arise from many different species. When some species start to overgrow and crowd out others, that’s when certain skin issues may potentially emerge.”
Try probiotic products.
While researchers are still figuring out the scope of benefits from prebiotic and probiotic skin care, incorporating things with skin-nurturing ingredients (we like Orveda The Healing Sap, which is packed with fermented black tea) can only help your skin. As Dr. Bowe puts it, when it comes to good bugs, the more, the merrier.
