Glamour magzine took the responsibility to show another side of Posh, the softer one. And I think they’ve succeeded as I’ve looked at this woman in a different way.

In a number of photographes for the glossy Victoria is featured as a usual housewife but a bit more sophisticated maybe as no housewife actually washes the floors in heels.

In an interview Victoria reaveals a lot about her attitude to work, family, fans, etc.:

On what she would do on a day free of work:I travel a fair amount, and when I’m here in L.A., everything revolves around the kids. So if I’m not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children. They just love that. It’s like, Oh, there’s Mummy serving me! The other day I was there, I was reading to Cruz’s class. All the little girls were saying, “We really like your dress.” And it was quite cute because I don’t have a girl.

On what makes her smile: My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile. When I was in New York the day before the [last fashion] presentation…you’re trying to fit the models, [do] the hair and the makeup, and the anxiety makes you almost sick, but I’m like a pig in mud! That makes me smile.

On why she is always so perfect: I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself…. I think about [what I’m going to wear] before I go to bed at night…. When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention. I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.

On why her pricy dresses sell so well: I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn’t be worn for one season—you should be able to wear it year after year.

On what makes a great pair of jeans: I’m such a perfectionist; I’ve worked really hard [with my team] to get it right. It’s got to be a great silhouette—long, slim legs. Really good design. I’m not saying that you’ve got to be a stick to wear them. You can be all different shapes and sizes.

On whether her feet hurt when she wears heels: Absolutely they hurt. Absolutely! I’m not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don’t mind. I will suffer. I don’t wear heels every day, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.

On what she considers the sexiest about a woman: I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. Sense of humor is definitely important. And sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around.

On whether she is jealous or not: It’s not healthy to be jealous. I look at David and I think, He’s so handsome and I’m so lucky to have him as a husband. And he’s an amazing father. I don’t blame people for looking at him and finding him attractive. I mean, I do.

On whether she had some sense when she met David: Yeah. I believe in love at first sight. I met my soulmate with David.

On whether she eats or not: I’ve had those questions for so many years; I’d probably be dead by now [if I didn’t]. I’m a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. I don’t eat junk food. I work out. That’s the only time I get upset by things written about me—when people write irresponsible things about my weight…. I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

This time the glam event Glamour Women of the Year Awards was held at NYC’s Carnegie Hall on Monday November 9. L’Oreal Paris was the main sponsor of the awards.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas were presenters, so were Katie Couric and former President Bill Clinton, three Beatles wives, Tyra Banks, model Iman and others.

She opted for the purple short dress and jacket from her collections.

5) Comic actress Amy Poehler took her award from hands ofSaturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels. Poehler views her work as a ruse mission to help authorize young women.

Poehler’s advice to the young women and girls:

Girls, if boys say something that’s not funny, you don’t have to laugh.”

For the Award she dressed in a sparkling gold dress by Stella McCartney.

6) Google’s Vice President of Search Product and User Experience, Marissa Mayer, who became the first female engineer at Google Inc, has increased and developed all of the company’s popular products, from Gmail to Google Earth.

She sees her real goal in bringing more women into the technology space.

I discovered she had 600,000 mentions,” Lauer quipped. “Not as huge as me, but no slouch”

7) Actor Michael Douglas presented award to Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, who was also praised via TV by President Barack Obama.

She has written about her personal life, childhood rape, teenage motherhood and racism.

10) A pediatrician, who created Worldwide Orphans Foundation, Dr. Jane Aronson received a special award.

This foundation has provided life-altering support to more than 20,000 orphans around the world.

Dr. Aronson works with adoptive parents, including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, to take care for children and assure them that their new families can
work.

I am grateful to be a woman,” said Angelou, who won the lifetime achievement award. “I must have done something great in another
life.”

11) One Million Signatures Campaign is a group started in 2006 by a group of Iranian women to end gender disparity.

The organizers of this campaign risk their lives when asking women and men to sign a formal request demanding changes in the laws that make women second-class people.

And U.S. first lady Michelle Obama also received special recognition from Glamour.

A hallowed mother, and the granddaughter of a slave, the first Michelle Obama earned the respect of the world by unflagging normal despite the defiances of her new role.

She has shown engagement to helping the next generation of young women swell their horizons by providing them with the inspiration and information to fancy themselves as the leaders of tomorrow.

Katharine McPhee looks wonderful at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City on Monday (November 9).

The 2009 Women of the Year are profiled in the December issue of Glamour, on newsstands November 10.

On the top of this list is singer Rihanna, with Glamour honoring her for her style, her songs, her work with the Believe Foundation and for being a positive role model.

Looking very hot, Rihanna was shot in New York City by Matthias Vriens-McGrath in Balmain, Gucci and Jason Wu.

She poses in a sparkling minidress.

The 21-year-old “Woman of the Year” talks about her life after the Chris Brown incident, her message to young women and her new album.

Some interview blockquotes:

About Chris Brown incident:

It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.”

I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day.”

On feeling alone:

My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.”

Her message to young women:

My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”

About her life:

I am stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.”

On her new album:

I’ve put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. [My new album Rated R] is super fearless-which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.”

The special December issue hits newsstands November 10, and Rihanna will be honored by the magazine at the annual Glamour Women of the Year awards at Carnegie Hall on November 9.

Magazine’s editor Cindi Leive explains the reason behind putting Michelle Obama on the cover. It’s not because she’s a fashion icon, but because she’s enthusiastic about children and apprenticeship and helping young women.

This is the first time in Glamour’s 70-year history when First Lady does the cover!!!

This time round, magazine team photographed the cover model in the magnificent Diplomatic Room.

She wears red dress and an amazing necklace.

Some quotes from the interview:

About styles and standarts:

People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you’re the First Lady; you’re representing the nation. So I can’t be surprised that people are interested. But I’ve tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else’s reflection.”

About mentoring matters, especially for young women:

I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.

The First Lady’s interview appears in December 2009 Glamour, on stands next week.

The 25-year-old Mrs. Ryan Reynolds says in the interview:

About her body image:

“There was this rumor mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds—I could never lose 14 pounds.… I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess someone’s weight.… I can’t look at somebody who is 6 feet tall and 120 pounds and say, I’m going to get that body. That’s just never going to happen. You have to work with what you’ve got.”

About her wedding and marrige:

“I never really thought about getting married—it just kind of happened.… You hope that a relationship makes you better, that you learn things about yourself.… I feel more confident to explore things within myself that I hadn’t thought about in the past.”

About being on the red carpet:

“I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It’s so freakish and weird. I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, allover panic!”

Also in US Glamour you can find article about Plus size models. Some of the top full-figured models – Kate Dillon, Ashley Graham, Amy Lemons, Lizzie Miller, Crystal Renn, Jennie Runk and Anansa Sims did a nude photoshoot for the publication.

About gossip:

Maybe my crazy time is coming up. Let’s see what happens. Maybe I’m just a late bloomer. But I think it’s also just my nature. I was thinking today when I was driving, How am I going to make sure that [my son] Kingston never does anything bad and doesn’t get arrested? I was thinking, How did I stay out of trouble? And I know it’s just ‘cause my parents are so strict. I mean, I’m still scared of them. (laughs)”

About credits her parents with keeping her out of trouble:

About blonde hair and red lipstick:

That’s my whole obsession with old Hollywood. I always loved watching all those old movies, and still do—if I had time.”

About being a mother:

How hard it is…everything from getting up in the morning to trying to be consistent to trying to have the right feelings. But, of course, the rewards are so great.”

She speaks about her divorce, relationship and her new VH1 reality series, The Price of Beauty.

On relationships:

I don’t regret anything I’ve gone through…. I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope that my life, as it is now, doesn’t change. I’m very happy and comfortable-it’s a great place to be in. If this article comes out and we’re not together, I’d still love [Tony], and he’d still be a huge part of who I am today.”

On body image:

It’s not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe about beauty. I’ve been through it myself and understand the pressures. We’re all facing the same struggles together, whether you’re a celebrity or not.”

On her divorce from Nick Lachey:

It was hard to imagine I would ever walk down the aisle again. It was like a death in the family: You go through the mourning stage, then the rebellion, and then all of a sudden you have to find life by yourself. Once you do that, you feel complete-and that’s the only time you can truly fall in love again, and give yourself over completely to another person.”

On her legacy:

Tony said, ‘Jessica, at the end of your life, the only thing that’s going to flash through your mind and heart is your husband, kids, family and the people you love. You’re not going to think, I wish I’d done this with my career. And I’m not going to remember how many touchdown passes I threw or if I won the Super Bowl.’ Music is the heart of who I am, and it’s the most personal thing that I do.”

On her future plans:

I’m never going to be a woman who doesn’t work. At 12 I was emancipated from my parents so I could sign my first record deal. I think I was born working!”

On the cover she wears Jeans by Dsquared2, Breadandbutter tank, bra by Victoria’s Secret, Lanvin necklace, D&G booties.

She talks in the interview:

About her position of top-selling artist last year:

When I get news like that, it just blows my mind, because I’ve been trying to do this all my life. I remember the girls who would come to talent shows and say to anyone they met, “I’m so-and-so—I’m going to be famous someday.” I was never that girl. I would show up with my guitar and say, “This is a song I wrote about a boy in my class.” And that’s what I still do today.

Taylor Swift poses in Prada jeans, blazer byViktor & Rolf, Lanvin earrings, Tom Binns Design crystal bracelet, Made Her Think silk bangle.

About being guarded.

I get some paparazzi, but not enough to make me ever not appreciate what I have. It’s like, I wanted one thing [my] whole life…. I’m not going to get it and then complain about it.

About her lifestyle

I’ve never felt like I needed to tone down being seen as a regular person. When I first started doing MySpace, I wrote by bio in the first person. I didn’t want [it] to look like a publicity promo site, so I was the one doing all the commenting, and I was the one putting up the pictures and videos. I’ve approached my whole career like that—I don’t see that ever changing.

About bieng a workaholic:

I get really restless when I haven’t worked for a day and a half. I have a recurring dream that people are lined up next to my bed, waiting for autographs and taking pictures of me!

Jeans, Acne: top, Lanvin; necklace, Vera Wang; shoes, Donna Karan New York.

About relationships:

It’s always going to be long-distance, even if I date the boy who lives next door to me in Nashville. I’ll be flying to see him and flying him places to see me. It feels like it would involve more scheduling, and I already deal with a lot of scheduling in my life. Of course, if I met somebody who was worth it, I would probably stop thinking that way!

About top three craziest pinch-herself moments

Definitely performing on Saturday Night Live. I got to meet Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg, who are some of my favorite people. Playing the Houston Rodeo for 72,000 people. Every one of them had a ticket stub with my name on it. And doing the cover of Rolling Stone. I never expected that would happen in my lifetime, and I definitely didn’t think it would happen when I was 19!

She says:

I do panic before I have to wear a really skimpy outfit, but I don’t have enough willpower”

I had to do a scene in a bra and shorts for the first time in two years,” she continues. “On the day of the shoot, I ate a pork burrito, chips and coke. Afterwards, I thought, ‘I probably shouldn’t have done that.’ But whatever.”

I have never worked out, but I know you feel better when you do,” she says, “so I am planning on getting a trainer.”

We can only envy Blake Lively’s metabolism.

About Penn Badgley:

At first I was so upset that they hired him,”

I actually poisoned the whole cast against him. But then they noticed that he wasn’t a jerk and was actually a really nice, charming person. Almost immediately I realized that too, but it took me about a week to admit it.”
