15 Types of People You Always See at Fashion Week

1. The girl just standing around outside the venue, playing with her phone and waiting for someone to take her picture.
She may or may not have a ticket to the actual show.

2. The elementary school kid in the front row.
Her mom is an editor.

3. The intern filling in for the magazine editor who couldn't make it.
She's terrified that at any moment she will be identified as an impostor and told to leave.

4. The person wearing seasonally-inappropriate clothes to attract more street style photographers.
Chiffon in a snowstorm and fur in a heat wave — anything ridiculous, really.

5. The crowd of fashion editors standing outside the show complaining about how tedious fashion week is.
They are just sooooo over it. Until someone asks to take their picture, that is.

6. The middle-aged buyer blocking everyone's view by taking pictures with his or her giant iPad.
Taking pictures with an iPad being the fashion-tech equivalent of reading the large-print edition of Reader's Digest.

7. The tween holding court in the front row with a gaggle of her best frenemies, all of them clad in completely age-inappropriate outfits.
The one in the middle is the designer's daughter and this is her biggest social moment of the year.

8. The tourist asking anyone who will listen how he or she can get tickets to the show.
Not that anyone even acknowledges their existence. FYI, 99% of these shows are invite-only.

9. The VIP client invited by the designers to thank her for spending ridiculous sums of money at their stores.
Her tan is real, but her boobs are definitely fake.

10. The street style photographer with the special edition Fendi bag and the colorful fur camera strap.

She's the street style photographer the other street style photographers take pictures of during the lull between shows.

11. The women in the ridiculously high heels trying to maintain her balance as she crosses the cobblestone streets of the meatpacking district to snag an available cab.
Until someone in flats beats her to it, leaving her stranded in the middle of the street, unsure what to do next.

12. The C-list celebrity, desperate for attention.
She sits there smiling for the camera, hoping no B-list celebrities show up and steal the spotlight.

13. The smug publicist silently orgasming every time he or she utters the words "you're not on the list."
Power is an aphrodisiac, after all, even list-based power with an iPad and a headset.

14. The irrationally angry New Yorker cursing the crowd in front of the show venue for blocking the sidewalk.
Because having to step into the street to get around the waiting editors and photographers is just, like, the worst thing ever.

15. That lady with the bob who's always wearing sunglasses.
Whatever her name is. Ann Something.

"My Boyfriend Is Great in Bed, But I Always Fantasize About Adding a Girl to Our Fun"

Our sex and relationships columnist, Logan Hill, answers your most personal questions.

"I'm married, and one of my best friends is a guy. A couple of years ago we started sleeping together. We ended the sex and saved the friendship, and everything went back to normal. Recently we slipped up and have slept together a couple of times. Now things are weird and awkward. How do we save the friendship and go back to being just friends?"

It sounds like things are awkward because you’ve blurred the lines of your friendship too much and too often. Every time you blur those lines, it gets harder to remember where they were in the first place.

So why not dump the friend? Some friendships can’t be saved, and that’s OK: We’re not meant to be best friends forever with everyone. And sometimes it’s our best friends who enable our worst behaviors. (See: every Behind the Music ever.) You say you “slipped up” when you had sex with him — so it doesn’t sound healthy.

At the very least, go cold turkey for a while. Why not tell him you need four months or so to reset the friendship and that it can never happen again. Cut off all contact, earn your monogamy chips, and then grab lunch in the spring. It’s normal to drop out of touch with friends for a few months; sometimes it’s necessary.

My big question: Do you worry as much about your husband as you do about your friend with benefits? I’m guessing this isn’t one of those mutually respectful open marriages — or as I like to call them, mythical unicorn marriages — and if it isn’t, you’re playing with fire. A lot of people think that getting caught is the big danger, but the distraction can be just as dangerous: On those nights when you were with your fuck buddy, and on those days when you were obsessing over your affair, you weren’t thinking of your marriage, were you? I’ve had cheating friends talk about how they can’t behave normally with their spouses because they’re so riven with guilt; they talk about how they become distracted at dinner — or in bed — by thoughts of the secret drama they’ve created, and they say all those thoughts pull them further away from the person they loved enough to marry. And for what? Assuming you want to stay married, you may be focusing your attention on repairing a relationship with the wrong guy.

"I like to listen to music while having sex – like I love to listen to Lana Del Rey and get really into the sex I'm having – but my boyfriend says it makes him feel awkward and he can't concentrate. Should I just give up trying to make sex magical for myself?"

First off, I don’t hate Lana Del Rey like a lot of guys, but, even so, let’s be real: She’s more of a video artist, and that album came out in 2010. So if you’ve been putting Lana on repeat during sex for the last three years, it’s entirely reasonable for your boyfriend to lose his mind — and his erection. While you’re imagining yourself as Lana’s film noir femme fatale, he may, in fact, be feeling more like he’s in Clockwork Orange.

Even if Lana isn’t the problem, a sex soundtrack is just a matter of personal preference, and if you like it, don’t give up. Try to get him to meet you halfway: Buy a bottle of something strong and spend a night on iTunes together, crafting a better booty playlist. There are plenty of surefire boudoir balladeers out there — from D’Angelo and The XX to Kendrick Lamar and My Bloody Valentine — who would mix well with Del Rey and might be appropriate for your particular musical kink. Since your boyfriend is easily distracted, maybe he’d enjoy something in a foreign language (Sigur Ros, Serge Gainsbourg, Hector Lavoe, etc.) that he doesn’t understand? Or maybe he agrees with Tom Waits, who once said a romantic night calls for “something that’s not too interruptive, like elevator music,” in which case there’s a whole world of electronica, ambient music and moody film soundtracks that could take you somewhere “magical” too.

If this is truly an irreconcilable difference, you may have to buy him some earplugs. Or treat yourself to a nice pair of bluetooth headphones. (Kidding. Kinda.)

"I'm a straight female who has been in a two-year relationship. My boyfriend is great in bed, but I always fantasize adding a girl to our fun. Is it weird that I get turned on by females?"

Weird? I think necrophiliacs are weird. But this? I’ll put it this way: If you tell your guy that you want to have sex with him and another woman — and why not, if that’s what you want? — then I can think of a million things he might say. Nearly all of them involve some variation on “please” and “how soon?” Zero involve the phrase, “You’re so weird.” This may be the second-most common fantasy of even the most vanilla straight guy, ranking slightly below “Sex. Just any kind of sex.”

Of course, he may be surprised at first, and he may not leap right into it — but that doesn’t mean he’s judging you. He may just need some time to make sure you’re serious — and that it’s good for the relationship. For instance, I’ve had pals say they don’t know how to respond to such an unexpected offer, because they worry women are floating the fantasy in order to test their fidelity; if they seem too excited, they fear it will confirm jealous suspicions that they want to sleep with other women.

What matters most, though, is how you feel. You need to figure out why it feels weird to you. Is it because being with a woman is new and unfamiliar territory to you? It’s not weird to “get turned on by females.” All across the world right now, women are having great sex, bad sex, first dates, lifelong romances, one-night stands, sext sessions and couples’ therapy with other women. If you’re attracted to women, that’s not weird. If you’re attracted to both men and women, that’s not weird. In fact, I think Miley Cyrus made out with, like, eight women, seven guys and three teddy bears on stage last night.

But think it through: Like all sex, only multiplied by another person, a threesome could be hot, awful or something in between. It could heat up your love life, and it could feel “weird” because you worry it might add some unwanted instability to your two-year relationship. You might try it and decide that it’s something you don’t want to do again. That’s fine too. Sometimes, fantasies work in real life. Sometimes, they’re best left as just that: fantasies.

One firm piece of advice: Make up your own mind before you suggest a threesome to your boyfriend. Once you raise the idea, he probably won’t let you forget it.

The Frightening Sex Crime You Don't Always Hear About

The new documentary Tricked is a frightening look at modern domestic sex trafficking. Featuring interviews with pimps, prostitutes, and law enforcement officials, the film reveals how pimps troll social media for vulnerable women who can be lured away from home and forced into prostitution. Cosmo sat down with directors John Keith Wasson and Jane Wells to find out more about the side of prostitution most people don’t get to see.

There’s a theme throughout your film that prostitution is not a victimless crime and these women are being sold into a form of slavery. During the credits, we learn that potentially 90 percent of prostitutes are in the industry against their will. Where did that statistic come from?

Jane Wells: The statistics are necessarily hard to come by because I don’t know that the research has ever been funded. But in the continuum of the life of someone that works in the sex industry, I believe that it’s as high as 90 to 95 percent [for people who are] either are in a situation [where they're being forced to work] or have seen coercion at some point in their career. But I think that the larger issue is that very, very, very few people choose to work in prostitution as a career choice because that’s what they chose to do when they grew up.

Why do you think it’s labeled as a victimless crime?

John Keith Wasson: The media is certainly one place to start. There’s a wealth of movies and songs and all sorts of things that perpetuate it as a bit of a glorious life if you're looking at the pimp's perspective or if you’re a john, that the girl is just trying to get through dental school and whatnot. We all have to get on the same page and recognize that the status quo isn’t so hot when it comes to this particular situation.

A lot of the young women in the film were recruited through the Internet before being forced into prostitution. Do you think this is a new behavior tied to the access to this technology, or just an adaptation of old tactics?

Jane Wells: Well, I think pimps are very savvy criminals. So they will use the resources available to them, and of course the Internet and tablets and cell phones are the latest resource. I think it’s rather disarming for us to see that now. [Girls are] recruited through their phones in their own living rooms in front of their parents. That’s a very alarming trend. But no doubt there will be other adaptations as technology in our culture moves forward.

John Keith Wasson: The trade is timeless, and it really doesn’t matter what technology you throw at it. A savvy street mind is going to figure out how to prey on the disadvantaged or disillusioned. 

Jane Wells: They will find ways to find those people. Rain, the young girl who is in the film — when she was 11 years old, a man cruised up to her while she was walking down the street, so that tells you how he found her. The other two were recruited through Mocospace [a chatroom and social game website] in their living rooms. It could be through Facebook at a bus station, an airport, wherever.

You’re documenting some pretty horrendous situations. Was there anything you encountered that truly shocked you?

Jane Wells: The trend that it’s actually getting younger is shocking. I think the money situation that the girls make absolutely zero percent is shocking. Our main thing that we are trying to get across is that it affects everybody.

Did you meet anyone in the sex trade who supported it or felt it was a viable career?

Jane Wells: We spoke with one sex trade professional. I thought it was 100 percent appropriate what she’s doing, but she has made a choice to be doing what she is doing. She gets more questions from people who are asking more and more into joining it. She’s scared because people are getting taken advantage of. She said there’s plenty of crocodiles in that water, so she’s fearful of what direction that’ll take. 

Do you think that these girls reach a point where they’re no longer being “forced” to be prostitutes in any direct way, but they don’t leave because it’s all they know?

John Keith Wasson: There is so much shame for them that it's hard to imagine life outside that life. And then our culture shames those people too because we still see them as criminals before victims, and that’s where we all have a part to play. Even using the word prostitute is somehow implying something negative and derogatory. The other thing is it makes it very hard to get other work.

What do you hope people take away from the film?

Jane Wells: What I hope will happen is if there is one girl that sees this film and understands that this could happen to her, and she thinks twice about how she interacts with some charming handsome man who wants to be her boyfriend and starts flattering her, she’ll just be a little more careful. And I hope that young men see it and decide that maybe they don’t want to grow up to be pimps and to glorify the pimp culture. On the bigger level, I hope we start the conversation about what this really is and not behind the fantasy that it’s like Pretty Woman or in Taken, with Liam Neeson’s daughter off somewhere in Europe. 

John Keith Wasson: I want people to ask, "Can you actually do something?" I think as a whole we are ready for more education on the subject. As a group we start noticing a bit more and being a bit more sympathetic to the horrible situation. You don’t jump and say that they’re a “whore” and that it doesn’t matter, which unfortunately we have heard sometimes. Even in some of the best police departments out there, you hear derogatory words. All of it makes a huge difference. We are hoping to continue that conversation.

Tricked will be available through video on demand in 2014 and can currently be requested for educational distribution by visiting their website.

Anne Hathaway Always Knew Her Hubby Was "The One"

How do you know when you've found The One?

Anne Hathaway said she knew that her husband, Adam Shulman, was the one right away—like the "second" she met him.

"I also knew that I couldn't have met him at a worse time," she said in a recent interview.

The problem? She was just getting out of a relationship with her con man ex, Raffaello Follieri. Regardless, she let her guard down and fell head-over-heels in love with Shulman, adding that he helped her learn to trust again.

"He walks into a room, and I light up. I can't help it," she continued.

All together now: Aww!

We love a good love story, but we're always a bit wary of these love-at-first-sight stories. Like, how can you really know that this is the right person if you've only just met? Sure, you might be attracted to a guy when you first meet, but real love comes with time. Plus, it's possible a dude just makes a good first impression.

Weigh in: Are we right about love at first sight, or do you think it really exists?
