Frances Bean Cobain Stars In Latest Marc Jacobs Campaign
Marc Jacobs has found his newest muse.The iconic designer posted a photo of Frances Bean Cobain, the only daughter of rock legends Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, to his Instagram on Wednesday, revealing that she will star in his Spring/Summer 2017 campaign.
Jacobs captioned the photo with a sweet message detailing that he "always wanted to work with Frances" and her "beauty, uniqueness, and strength is something I have long admired and respected."
24-year-old Frances has modeled previously for Elle Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, as well as Hedi Slimane. She has been noted as visual artist dabbling in all things art and music.
Cobain spoke to Vogue about her new modeling gig saying, "I don't model unless I think the project is cool, and I don't put my name behind something that I don’t genuinely believe in. I thought this collection was great, and I was flattered that Marc thought of me for this."
"The shoot had a very organic feel—all the makeup was my own. We used the lipstick from right out of my purse, and no one did anything to my hair. They just put me in the clothes. I could never do (modeling) professionally, but I'm glad I did it with Marc, because I trust him."
She also touched on the fashion industry's obsession with '90s style. "Yes, the '90s were influential, for sure, but it's just not my cup of tea," she said of the trend. "When it's shoved down your throat every day for 24 years, you just stop caring."
"My dad was so poor that they kept going to Goodwill to get donated ripped jeans," she added. "It wasn't a fashion decision; it was an 'I don't have any money, I have no other choice' type of decision."
Jacobs, who is noted as a rock-star in his own respect, has close ties to the Cobain family, previously featuring Courtney Love for his Fall 2016 collection.
The Journey to ‘I Am’ With Tolu Falode: 5 Secrets To a Thriving Relationship
Ever wondered why some relationships survive the tide and others
sink? These 5 secrets are at the root of their happiness or misery.
Trust
A house that is divided is a house that cannot and does not stand. Where there is no trust between you and your partner there will be no room for your relationship to grow. Where growth does not take place, there is room for communication to denigrate. Trust is activated where there is consistency, communication and commitment. These are the 3 C’s required to make a recipe for unity.
Trust is the product of that mixture. So a practical example would be to make sure you and your partner are in constant communication on a daily basis. Ensure that there is consistent connection and this in turn would foster commitment. These are the three strands that would enable your relationship to stand.

Attraction
Another important aspect of a successful relationship is attraction. Where there is no attraction there is room for distractions. To nurture the natural chemistry that is at the root of your relationship, you need to feed it and make sure it is fostered continually. You ensure this happens by spending time with your partner, making room for a connection to be fostered through conversations, activities, adventures that naturally build on the original energy that is at the base of your relationship’s identity. This will enable attraction to not only grow, but for it to bloom and when attraction blooms it is attractive. To understand this better, imagine a plant that is nurtured and cared for. As a result it grows not only stronger, but finer. Hence, when you allow attraction to be nurtured in your relationship, your relationship in itself becomes attractive to both you and your partner.

Security
To ensure your relationships survives and thrives there needs to be security. Security requires trust and attraction which is why this is the third step. Where there is trust, the foundation for security is formed and it is strengthened by attraction. This is because attraction allows for confidence to be instilled in the relationship. Confidence is rooted in trust; it forms the perfect combination for security to be formed.

Security is the reason Taye does not feel the need to
browse through her man’s phone when he leaves it unattended. Security is
the reason Ayo does not feel the need to monitor Fola’s steps whenever
she tells him she is spending the weekend celebrating with her friends.
Security is the reason Bola does not share her relationship’s secrets with all her friends even while they are spilling the beans freely, because she understands to protect her relationship she needs to keep her lips sealed. And that is exactly what security does. It is to keep possession of an important asset, to keep it safe.

And that is exactly what security does. It is to keep possession of an important asset, to keep it safe.
Hence when your
man/woman shares their problems with you, don’t go running your mouth
all over town to your friends, sisters and their cousins. You discuss it
between yourselves; that is the essence of security.
This is why
the more vulnerable your partner is with you, the more secure your
relationship is. A lot of relationships have been buried because of lack
of vulnerability which is usually due to lack of trust/attraction. So
imagine vulnerability as the object, security as the safe and trust and
attraction as the combination. You don’t share your combination with
just anyone because your partner would feel exposed meaning they would
feel betrayed-betrayal ruins relationships.
Sanctuary
Where there is security, there is a sanctuary. Going on from the analogy above, security is the safe, and the sanctuary is the room. A sanctuary is defined as a place of refuge or safety. You have to become your partner’s safe space. Do you play that role in one another’s lives?

The
reason this question is so important is because relationships rot from
the root. And this process begins when your partner no longer sees you
as their sanctuary but begins to view you as their prison. So are you
your partner’s sanctuary or prison? To answer this question pay
attention to how your partner acts around you-are they more withdrawn?
Do they speak more freely? Are they eager to be in your presence or do
they make excuses?
Where your partner no longer views you as a
sanctuary you would notice it in the language of familiarity surrounding
the relationship’s physicality. In other words, the structure of your
relationship begins to shift. Where there was once communication, there
is now silence. Where there was once attraction, there is reticence.
This
is because you have become a prison and no longer a sanctuary. To
return to the realm of refuge, there needs to be peace. A sanctuary is
synonymous with peace. You have to learn to forgive and let go of where
you have been hurt, what they have done that has caused you to withdraw
and where you have felt pain.
The reason for these steps is so
many burdens become tattooed in our expressions. Where there is a lack
of peace, it affects how we communicate with one another. It even
filters into how we relate, and this changes the environment of the
relationship from a sanctuary to a prison.
Think about it like
this: you don’t have the same tools you find in a sanctuary, in a
prison. If you are working with the tools in a prison – i.e routine and
regimental communication, lack of expression, lack of colour instead of
the elements found in a sanctuary, which include serenity, comfort and
room for expression and disclosure, don’t be surprised if your
relationship has stalled in its tracks.
It is important your partner sees you as a sanctuary so they can finally reach the point of viewing you as their peace.

Sacrifice
A lot of relationships suffer because where there should be sacrifice there is selfishness. Sacrifice means selflessness. This means that if you, Tope, decide you want to attend your friend’s party, on the same day and time Tade has made clear over and over again that he would like to go and see his favourite football team play, you go and watch the game. Not only because he wants to watch it, but more importantly because he wants to watch it with you. The same thing applies to the men. If you know your woman has put aside time to spend with you, she has decided to forfeit going out with friends, hanging out with her family or whatever else, just to be with you, and you decide that is the date and time you and your friends must tear up the whole town. Choose your woman before you lose her as a result.

Choose your woman before you lose her as a result.
I want you to come to
the place of understanding relationships have nothing to do with your
wants but everything to do with what you both need-to reach the point of
satisfying your needs equally you have to pass the place of
concentrating on your individual desires.
This means the more you
satisfy your partner’s needs through sacrificing your wants, the more
your relationship will reflect your desires. When both parties put each
other ahead of the other, there is stability, there is unity, there is
trust. As a result, there is a thriving relationship.

Scarlett Johansson on 'Ghost In the Shell' Casting Controversy And That Time Mark Consuelos Stole Her Breast Pump
Scarlett Johansson is speaking out against critics who accused Paramount of "whitewashing" her character in the upcoming "Ghost In the Shell" film.ScarJo plays The Major in the live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga, a character whose full name is Motoko Kusanagi in the source material. Many -- including Margaret Cho -- criticized the casting decision when it was first announced, with Cho saying, "It doesn't make any sense ... I just can't understand why Hollywood doesn't really embrace these ideas, these Asian actors playing Asian roles. It's such a backwards thing."
The "Avengers" star addressed the controversy in the new issue of Marie Claire, where she also revealed how Mark Consuelos once ended up with her breast bump and spoke about sexism in Hollywood.
Here are the biggest takeaways:
Regarding the 'Ghost In the Shell' Controversy
"I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person. Diversity is important in Hollywood, and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive," she explained. "Also, having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity. Certainly, I feel the enormous pressure of that—the weight of such a big property on my shoulders."That Time Mark Consuelos Stole Her Breast Pump
"I had to bring my breast pump [to the 2015 Oscars], because I was nursing and every ounce is like liquid gold," she told the mag.On the Hollywood Pay Gap
"Somehow, Mark got ahold of my breast pump -- in a bag with all the milk, ice packs in there, and s---. He grabbed it out of my hand," Johansson continued. "Our cars got separated. Apparently, Kelly looked over, and she was like, 'Wait a minute -- is that Scarlett's breast pump? We've got to get it back!' because she knew how panicked I would be. We finally ended up at the same party three hours later, and Mark was like, 'I'm so sorry.'"
"Some people felt I should talk about my personal struggle in order to shed a spotlight on the greater issue. Maybe I'm being presumptuous, but I assumed it was obvious that women in all positions struggle for equality," she said her reluctance to speak out about the pay gap. "It's always an uphill battle and fight. My experience with my close female friends and family is that the struggle is real for everybody. Everyone has been discriminated against or harassed—sexism is real."Why She Believes Celebrities Should Be Vocal About Politics
"Just because I'm the top-grossing actress of all time does not mean I'm the highest paid," she added. "I've had to fight for everything that I have. It's such a fickle and political industry."
"[I believe] that it is really important to hear people in various positions of power voice their opinions, their story," she said. "Why not? Why can't I have the voice? Why can't I use my platform? What's the point of having it if you don't use it? If you don't want to get involved, please, the noise is loud enough. But if you've got something to say, say it."The March cover story hits newsstands on February 14th.

Something to tell us? She shot selfies with her agent Christian Carino
See Chrissy Teigen's First Post-Baby Bikini Shoot for Sports Illustrated (Photos)
The magazine released the first shots of the model for this year's edition on Wednesday, taken "just months" after she gave birth to daughter Luna in April 2016.
"It's been awhile since I've done anything swimsuit," Chrissy said on set of the shoot. "I haven't shot since baby. But of course you know that [SI Swimsuit editor] MJ [Day] and everyone at Sports Illustrated in general is going to embrace your body no matter what's happening and embrace the changes."
According to Day, Teigen initially only wanted to wear one-pieces for the spread, with her body draped in a blanket.
"I think she surprised herself on this trip, because I don't think she was seeing herself quite the way we were seeing her," added Day.
Judging by the photos, Chrissy agreed to ditch some of the fabric as she posed up a storm on Sumba Island near Bali.
"MJ's right, and I don't want to say this to her, but the tinier the suit, the smaller and hotter you look," Teigen admitted. "Ugh, I hate that. I hate that she's right!"
See more from Teigen's shoot when "Making of SI Swimsuit 2017" airs on DIRECTV NOW this month.
