Questionable Choices: Leighton Meester’s Magic Eye Ensemble
I heard if you stare really hard at the dress (shirt? saran?) worn by Country Strong‘s Leighton Meester on the cover of Seventeen this month, an image of Gwyneth Paltrow with a raised knife will appear in 3D. True? More »
Interview: Whitney Port On Body Issues And Body Peace
Body issues are a big problem today – for women and girls alike. Almost everyone has a body part that she’s not thrilled about. But Seventeen magazine, through something called The Body Peace Project, is trying to change that, by getting girls to accept their bodies in all shapes and sizes.
