Supermodel Amber Valletta retains her position as one of the world's top models while expanding her acting credits, most recently for ABC's nighttime soap 'Blood & Oil'. Valletta chats with InStylemagazine's Stephanie Trong in a down home editorial 'She Can Do It', lensed by Carter Smith.Valetta is styled by Paul Cavaco with hair by boyfriend Teddy Charles; makeup by Kate Lee
In 2013, Valletta teamed up with Yooxygen to launch Master & Muse, an e-commerce platform featuring eco-friendly designers. (The site is currently in transition, writes Trong.) “I’m trying to educate consumers so they’ll put pressure on brands, and trying to get brands to think about [sustainable fashion] in a cool, sexy way,” she says. Valletta cites Stella McCartney as one designer who’s getting it right with cutting-edge fabrics and shoes with biodegradable soles. “She’s very clever,” says Valletta.
Earlier this year Valletta, a Sierra Club ambassador, penned an op-ed opposing the nomination of then–Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. She grew up in Tulsa, and she expressed her fear as a mother—Valletta has a 16-year-old son, Auden, with ex-husband Chip McCaw—over Pruitt’s track record on pollution, among other things. “Speaking up for the truth isn’t always easy,” she says. “It takes courage, but it’s necessary.” Glamour posted Valletta's entire letter.
Gay Rights Supreme Court Decision Activist Edith Windsor Dies At Age 88
Gay rights activist Edith Windsor, whose landmark Supreme Court case led the US Supreme Court to grant same-sex married couples both federal recognition and a host of federal benefits previously available only to married heterosexuals, died Tuesday in Manhattan at age 88, writes The New York Times.
Her wife Judith Kasen-Windsor, who Windsor married in 2016, confirmed Windsor's death at a Manhattan hospital.
In what is generally regarded as the second most important Supreme Court ruling in America's fight for and against same-sex marriage rights, "the Windsor decision, handed down in 2013, was limited to 13 states and the District of Columbia. But in a more expansive ruling in 2015, in Obergefell v. Hodges and three related cases, the Supreme Court held that same-sex couples had a constitutional right to marry anywhere in the nation, with all the protections and privileges of heterosexual couples. Its historic significance was likened to that of Lawrence v. Texas in 2003, which decriminalized gay sex in the United States."

MSNBC's Joy Reid Lights Her Own Bonobo Woman Torch At MSNBC
Josef Adalian zeroes in on one of AOC's most respected journalists -- MSNBC's Joy Reid. Her influence at MSNBC extends far beyond her two-hour 'AM Joy" show on weekend mornings, with the Harvard grad regularly filling in for weekday evening anchors like Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnell. As one of the most articulate voices in Trumplandia, Reid's 10-12 timeslot regularly pulls in around 1 million viewers, up between 50 and 60 percent over last year and doubling -- even tripling -- viewers at CNN and Fox News. Why? Because the whip-smart Harvard grad is a one woman debate machine who demands answers and dialogue from her guests -- not talking points. Reid is as informed as Rachel Maddow, giving her a monumental edge in debates, which often involve quick-witted, circuitous dot connecting with guests promoting #FAKENEWS.

Alicia Keys Is Vibrant Cover Girl In Zoltan Tombor Images For Elle Brazil October 2017
The irrepressibly wonderful Alicia Keys continues her #nomakeup self-acceptance campaign, posing for her first Elle Brazil cover -- in four variations.
Interviewed for the September 2017 issue, Alicia Keys shares her wisdom: "'It can seem silly, but I think that many of us are caught in this trap. We worry about what the others are thinking about us, and we forget to think by ourselves. Actually, this is not only about using makeup or not. It is more about living, being as you feel really comfortable and exploring all of it."
The 15-time Grammy winner used just a bit of blush, moisturizer and her small jade roller cooled via the refrigerator (and not for the first time) for the shoot by Zoltan Tombor. Fashion editor Lucas Boccalao teams up with stylist Juliana Gimenez in iconic Alicia looks, as she prepares to perform at Rock in Rio for the second time in September, winging her way there now after a quick trip to Shanghai.
"Brazil is a country with plenty of soul, electricity, vibe and culture,' Alicia said with love in her heart. "When I go back there again, I think it will be the same, the same kind of love and celebration energy. That's what I feel about the country, one of the places I saw in the world where the people really know how to express their feelings."
TK Wonder & Cipriana Quann Talk Twinning In Will Vendramini Snaps For Elle Brazil November 2017
TK Wonder and Cipriana Quann, known as the ladies of Urban Bush Babes, appear in the November 2017 issue of Elle Brazil. The identical twin sisters and IMG models, born and raised in Baltimore, are styled by Juliana Gimenez in elegant sophistication from Burberry, Gucci, Phillip Lim and Tibi. The influencers, lensed by Will Vendramini, talk natural hair, the importance of self-care and their dedication to advocacy for relatable images of women of color in media, writes IMG.
Fashion Week Daily did an in-depth interview with the sisters who talk their strict upbringing, very successful mother and stay-at-home dad. Clearly this American family broke the mold in many ways and the results are a beautiful, loving self-confidence.

Laura Ingraham speaking for Trump at 2016 Republican convention.
CNN reports that Fox News commentator, radio host and Trump loyalist Laura Ingraham is set to replace Sean Hannity in the 10 pm time slot at Fox. Unidentified sources tell CNN that Hannity will move to the 9 pm hour, putting him head-to-head with Rachel Maddow at MSNBC.
"The Five" will return to its original time slot, now that Eric Bolling has left the Fox News, after a month-long investigation into claims that Bolling sent male genitalia texts with saucy comments to other female staffers at Fox.
Fox News denies the rumour, saying there is "no deal in place with Ingraham, who has her own charges of sexual harassment against her partner Peter Anthony at LifeZette, reportsThe Daily Beast. Ingraham has also indicated an interest in the 2018 Senate race against Democratic incumbent and former Hillary Clinton running mate Tim Kaine, according to the Washington Post. A Fox gig would seemingly close that door -- now seriously complicated by charges against her business partner.

Agent Provocateur's Seedy Autumn/Winter 2017 Campaign Walks A Trumpian Line In 'Tease & Hustle'
The always racy Agent Provocateur lingerie brand returns to its seedy, '90s roots in London's Soho district with its 'Tease & Hustle' campaign. Leading ladies Elise Crombez, Magdalena Frackowiakand Abbie Fowler as the “cloakroom girl” are lensed by Anton Corbijn - a film director, music-video producer, and photographer all rolled into one, who is behind films such as Control, The American and A Most Wanted Man. Corbijn cements the close relationship between the AP girl and music culture with Massive Attack’s “Pray For Rain” as the lead track throughout.
Agent Provocateur's creative director Sarah Shotton considers the campaign to be an extension of the brand's female empowerment positioning, although the campaign's 'Tease & Hustle' name puts it into the return of the alpha males trend in a post-Trump era. (Follow link above for Anne's Trumpian thoughts on the Agent Provocateur ad campaign.)

TRUMP CONTENDS WITH, FROM TOP, APRIL RYAN, MAGGIE HABERMAN, JOY-ANN REID, MIKA BRZEZINSKI, AND RACHEL MADDOW. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY DARROW; PHOTOGRAPHS, FROM GETTY IMAGES (TRUMP’S HEAD), BY SHANNON FINNEY (BRZEZINSKI’S HEAD), PARAS GRIFFIN (RYAN’S HEAD), FROM NBC NEWSWIRE (REID’S HEAD), BY RAY TAMARRA (MADDOW’S HEAD), ALL FROM GETTY IMAGES.
If you can't live without watching MSNBC's Rachel Maddow -- the most-watched anchor in cable news -- or weekends are not the same without MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid,you are probably thrilled to see a heavy-duty dose of estrogen in major media as we contend with life in Trumplandia.
Writing for Vanity Fair, James Wolcott is far more eloquent in 'Why Women Journalists Are Ascendant In The Age Of Trump': "The me-Tarzan heyday of political broadcast journalism’s “big swinging dicks” (to borrow Michael Lewis’s hallowed term) has entered its twilight phase, a long-overdue development obvious to everyone except those little swinging dicks who keep injuring themselves trying to perpetuate the old swagger."
Large numbers of those "big swinging dicks" congregated at Fox News, who cut its ties with its latest alleged bad boy Eric Bolling on Friday. Bolling was busted in a Huffington Post expose published a month ago by Yashar Ali.
Fourteen sources confirmed allegations that Bolling sent female colleagues at Fox, lewd texts with an image of male genitalia. In filing a lawsuit against Yashar Ali, Bolling turned to Trump's personal lawyer Marc E. Kasowitz.
Wolcott unleashes his commanding vocabulary against Trump's alpha males, writing: "Throughout his entire Fox News career Bolling typified the “gorilla mind-set” espoused by macho paleo blogger Mike Cernovich in his book of the same name, an ode to alpha dominance that found its golden fulfillment in the candidacy and presidency of Donald Trump, the gorilla mind-set being the Wagnerian prelude to achieving what Cernovich heralds in his follow-up book as the “MAGA mind-set”—the inner power of Trumpian transformation that elevates the alphas from the also-rans. Thanks to the flubbering failure of Trump himself, the MAGA mind-set now resembles melted cheese, a glop of congealed ego and spilt religion."
Update Sunday, Sept. 10, 2017: In a very sad twist in the Eric Bolling story, his son Eric Chase Bolling Jr. was found dead in Boulder on Friday night in a reported by TMZ, and sourced by People magazine, drug overdose.

Education Secy Betsy DeVos Announces Plans To Revise Title 9 Sexual Assault On Campus Rules
US Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced changes Thursday to an Obama-era directive regarding sexual-assault allegations on campus. Speaking at George Mason University in Virginia, DeVos said “The truth is that the system established by the prior administration has failed too many students." She pledged to replace the “failed system” with a “workable, effective, and fair system” that addresses the needs and rights for both sexual-assault victims and the accused.
“Every survivor of sexual misconduct must be taken seriously. Every student accused of sexual misconduct must know that guilt is not predetermined,” she said.
Leaving the current rules in place for now, DeVos said that a public comment period would open soon, in order to craft new rules.
“We will seek public feedback and combine institutional knowledge, professional expertise, and the experiences of students to replace the current approach with a workable, effective, and fair system,” DeVos said.
