Chrissy Teigen's upcoming cookbook is not your average kitchen material. 

Teigen is combining her two specialties -- modeling and food -- for a very different kind of cookbook. On Thursday, the 29-year-old supermodel shared a photo from the shoot where she lounges poolside in a swimsuit with a plate of chicken on her thigh. Try as he might, John Legend can't manage to grab some. 

"What's up chicken butt," she captioned the shot. 

Though Teigen features recipes on her blog, So Delushious, she told Grub Street that this new endeavor will be separate, featuring "our household staples, the things I love to make for John, things I love cooking for our friends for Super Bowl Sunday, things for girls' nights, which I have all the time," she said.

Teigen shared some other photos from the day, noting her new lob hairstyle.

This summer, I’ve been occasionally accessorizing with cheap temporary tattoos purchased by the packet at beauty stores. I festoon my arms with black line drawings of birds or floral designs and enjoy the semi-permanent decoration. Quickly, though, I noticed an unwelcome side effect to my fashion choice: constant attention. Friends, understandably, asked me if I’d gotten a tattoo. Strangers, less understandably, grabbed my arm to ask me if the design was real. A guy at a bar asked about one as an entrée into hitting on me. As complimentary as these queries always were, the spotlight on my arm was baffling and intrusive. 

I shouldn’t have been surprised. As Beverly Yuen Thompson points out in her new book, Covered in Ink: Tattoos, Women, and the Politics of the Body (NYU Press), women’s appearances are already subject to constant scrutiny and policing, and she’s found transgressive behavior, like visible tattoos, only encourages unwanted touching. “Men are considered more autonomous people, they are more intimidating physically, and touching a man has different repercussions and social meanings than touching a woman,” Thompson explained in an email to The Huffington Post. “Women’s bodies are more socially accessible.”

Thompson, who is herself heavily tattooed on the arms and back, has been studying the gender dynamics of getting tattooed, being tattooed and being part of the tattoo subculture for several years, and Covered in Ink surveys numerous ways women in the culture are marginalized. “When women [...] collect tattoos, especially when they become heavily tattooed and go outside the boundaries of 'feminine' tattooing, they begin to face social sanctions that remind them that they are not acting appropriately as a woman,” Thompson told me.

Studies, such as this survey from Fox News, suggest women have grown rapidly more comfortable with tattoos in recent decades; of the survey respondents, 47 percent of women under 35 are tattooed, while only 4 percent of women over 65 are. Thompson points out, however, that women tend to stick to the “small, cute and hidden” tattoos that have become socially acceptable -- dolphins, flowers and fairies, no more than a few inches, on the ankle, shoulder or hip are apparently common choices.

Women who violate these qualifications tend to face side-eye, and, in particular, women who choose to become heavily tattooed risk societal judgment. A full sleeve, especially of less traditionally feminine imagery, like skulls or zombies, signals masculinity to many, though often the women Thompson spoke to saw their tattoos as expressions of their womanhood. Perhaps this association with masculinity is why visibly tattooed women are frequently assumed to be LGBT, but while Thompson found LGBT women are overrepresented among heavily tattooed women, they were still the minority -- she estimated they comprised around 20 percent of those she surveyed.

Women more nominally beholden to gender norms -- particularly straight, married ciswomen -- still combat expectations of ladylike purity enforced by romantic partners, parents and peers. Mothers with tattoos might be perceived as unfit because they’re soiled or immoral; the very ink on their skin is perceived as tainting their feminine virtues. Tattooed women often feel pressured to cover up their work on their wedding day, perhaps the most traditionally ladylike day of their lives. Thompson, who covers her tattoos around her father, found this challenging due to her extensive ink. “The day I got married, I had to find a dress that would hide all my tattoos -- no easy feat!” she recalled. “Additionally, I felt I had to warn the bridal store clerks about my tattooed state, because I felt so out of place in that kind of store.“

The hyperfemininity and lingering purity connotations of the bridal industry -- the white dresses, the demure veils -- somehow don’t seem to jibe with visible ink. 

As recently as the 1950s, one artist, Samuel Steward, recalled enforcing a rule of spousal permission for women getting tattoos to avoid blowback from furious husbands; some women, such as the partners of bikers, were permitted to get tattoos… that branded them as “Property of” their men. During that time period, Thompson pointed out, "policies that required women to have parental or spousal permission for doing many things in their daily life were common." A tattooed woman might seem on the fringes of society, of questionable character, not appropriately deferential to a male authority. Even now, she said, this pressure continues informally: "Many tattoo artists report that after getting divorced, women come to tattoo studios in droves, and say things like, 'My husband would never let me get a tattoo. So now I can!'"

The association of visible ink with sexual promiscuity and deviant behavior somehow still lingers. Heavy tattoos aren't perceived as enhancing women's attractiveness; young, conventionally attractive tattoo aficionados especially report hearing annoying comments like "You're so pretty, why would you do that to yourself?" in reference to their body art. Yet the fact that they've chosen to ink themselves seems to signal sexual availability to far too many. "Men on the street approach them thinking that they are easy women or into partying," Thompson said. "Having tattoos does not protect women from sexual attention, it increases it."

Still, choosing self-expression through bodily markings may be a natural choice for women, who are more visible than men, and less likely to have their actual voices heard. “Some tattooed women say that by looking at them, you can understand their stories and where they are coming from, they don’t even need to speak,” explained Thompson. Of course, she adds, heavily inked women are shamed and criticized, just as outspoken women are.

But more and more women are finding the power in emblazoning their values, life events and cherished artworks on their skin, and at the same time, more women have been finding that tattoo work is a valid path for a working artist. While many male tattooists in the rough and tumble mid-century times worked from templates, as Thompson notes in her book, many women have broken into the industry from the other end, by going to art school, then learning to translate their original designs to a human canvas. One artist, Cindy Lael, told Thompson, “I have seen the most amazing artwork from ladies who have only been tattooing a couple years.”

The average American may still associate extensive tattoos with biker gangs and, perhaps, Suicide Girls, but as the tattoo form has evolved in recent decades, women are challenging what it means to be covered in ink and what is possible in the form. It's about time the rest of society started to get used to it.

Fashion is, if nothing else, a form of self-expression and some people choose very interesting ways to express themselves. 

This past month, Hollywood has shown us some pretty crazy things on the streets, on the red carpet and of course, on stage. Kris Jenner topped our list of outrageous outfits, making two appearances in rather creative ensembles, and Kim Kardashian wasn't to be left behind. The soon-to-be mother-of-two proved that maternity style doesn't need to be boring, as she strutted her stuff in a sheer jumpsuit. Oh and supermodel Jessica Stam wore erm, underwear (and not much else) to a cocktail reception. 

Maybe it's the heat, but something wild was definitely in the air in July -- check out the craziest things we spotted below:

Minions aren't just on the silver screen; they're in coffee, on the subway, and even on Sandra Bullock's feet. Now, they're infiltrating the fashion industry, too. 

Stylight, an online boutique offering items from over 100 online stores, has reimagined the mischievous movie characters as some of our most beloved fashion icons. Bloggers, celebrities and designers alike got the minion treatment, and the results are pretty fantastic. 

A spokeswoman from Stylight told The Huffington Post they're "still amazed by how much this campaign has spread." Indeed, the photos have certainly made the rounds, even landing on the social media pages of some of the icons themselves. "The reactions have been hilarious. Especially those from our featured celebrities like Marc Jacobs and Choupette Lagerfeld, who have enthusiastically re-tweeted/posted their minion counterparts," she said. 

Each Minionista is shown with its own distinctive traits: Anna Wintour's bob, Karl Lagerfeld's adorable cat sidekick, Choupette, and even Kim Kardashian's famous "break the Internet" pose. The "accidental style icons," as Stylight calls them, pull off the fashionable looks with ease.

"It crosses our mind that there's far too much attention paid to aphorisms about falling in love and not nearly enough to those about falling out of love," Ephron wrote in the introduction. 

She was absolutely right. In homage to Ephron -- and because quotes about heartbreak really should be given more due -- we're relaunching the series with the help of our readers. Was there a saying, quote or mantra that helped you move on during your divorce? We want to hear it! Send the quote and a few sentences about it to divorce@huffingtonpost.com for consideration. 

For this installment, writer Amy Koko shares the quote that made her realize "damn, I need to get out of this Snuggie and get moving" when her marriage of almost three decades ended in 2011. Read what she had to say below.

"Without a doubt the quote that got me through my divorce was this one from Elizabeth Taylor.'After a month of eating Cap’n Crunch from a box while wandering the house in a blue Snuggie, I came across it -- and it hit me hard. I got up, got myself together and got a life. I started by purging my closet and lingerie drawer and even my old makeup. I invested in some clothes that made the new me feel terrific. I applied for jobs and I got one. It was the first job I had since working at the mall 30 years ago. I got up, I got out, I met people and recreated myself. I did, indeed, end up pulling myself together." -- Amy Koko, writer at Ex-Wife New Life

SEATTLE (AP) — Kurt Cobain's widow and daughter are urging a Seattle judge not to release death-scene photos and records that a lawsuit claims will prove the Nirvana frontman was murdered more than 20 years ago. 

Superior Court Judge Theresa Doyle is set to hear arguments Friday over whether to proceed with a trial after Richard Lee, who runs a Seattle public access TV show, sued the city and the Seattle Police Department for the material he says will show Cobain didn't die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1994, The Seattle Times reported. 

The city is arguing that the material should stay sealed for the sake of the family's privacy. Cobain's widow, rocker and actress Courtney Love, and their daughter have written to the court about the physical and psychological impact that the release of the graphic photos would have on their lives. 

"I have had to cope with many personal issues because of my father's death. Coping with even the possibility that those photographs could be made public is very difficult," Frances Bean Cobain wrote. "Further sensationalizing it through the release of these pictures would cause us indescribable pain." 

She wrote that she already faces harassment from fans "obsessed" with her father and fears that could get worse. 

One fan broke into her California home and waited three days for her to return from vacation because he "believed my father's soul had entered my body," Frances Bean Cobain wrote in her declaration. 

According to their statements, neither woman has seen the photos of Cobain's body. 

In 1995, Love got court permission to keep Cobain's suicide note, and another note used for handwriting analysis, out of the public eye. 

Seattle police did release two previously unseen images from suicide scene last year. One showed a box containing drug paraphernalia, a spoon and what look like needles on the floor next to half a cigarette and sunglasses. The other showed the paraphernalia box closed, next to cash, a cigarette pack and a wallet that appeared to show Cobain's identification.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and just last week I had maternity pictures taken to celebrate this horrible, but beautiful pregnancy. For the first time in about 35 weeks I felt beautiful, and was so excited to share this moment with my friends and family. Later that day we got the sneak peak pictures back and I posted them on Facebook thinking my friends and family would think I was beautiful and would love them, however that wasn’t the case. All I received were negative comments about how huge I am, about how unhealthy I am, and about how they think my baby is going to be a 10 to 12 pound baby by the looks of how much I weigh. I literally went in the bathroom and cried for hours. It’s so hard being plus size, pregnant, sick, and getting negative comments about the way I look. If I’m happy and accepting of my body, why can’t everyone else just be happy for me?!

An anti-porn group announced Wednesday that it had persuaded two major retailers to place Cosmopolitan magazine behind cover-blocking "blinders," the same kind used on adult magazines like Playboy.

Rite Aid and Delhaize America have agreed to the wrapped covers, Dawn Hawkins, executive director of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, told Women’s World Daily. Rite Aid confirmed the decision to HuffPost. Delhaize, which owns Food Lion and Hannaford, has not returned a request for comment.

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation changed its name from Morality in Media this year. The new name lends itself to empathy: Who wouldn’t want to fight sexual exploitation? Nobody, until perhaps finding out that to the center, "exploitation" really means "any sexual behavior it doesn't like." 

What are the group's qualms about Cosmo?

"Cosmo is actually just another porn magazine glamorizing and legitimizing a dangerous lifestyle -- pushing readers to try violent, group or anal sex," Hawkins told WWD.

The center's website also criticizes Cosmo for promoting casual sex and BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism) and for providing detailed descriptions of sex acts.

A National Center on Sexual Exploitation spokeswoman told HuffPost that the group has "not called for removal or a boycott of Cosmopolitan," just that it be covered from public view and not sold to minors. Still, the group, which notes that it opposes all forms of pornography, calls the magazine "pornographic."

Now, it's true that Cosmo has a serious diversity problem in its pages, offers ridiculous sex tips, pressures readers to live up to conventional beauty standards, and has historically had an unhealthy focus on "pleasing your man." But it’s also one of the few magazines that unabashedly celebrates female sexuality. Cosmo doesn’t pretend there is anything wrong with women wanting or liking sex, and it gives its readers extensive information about birth control.

Putting Cosmo behind blinders sends the message that sex and female sexuality are shameful. But then that is the implicit message behind many statements from the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Its website's "Frequently Asked Questions" section is filled with scare-tactic misinformation like the scientifically unsupported claim that watching porn featuring adults leads users to seek out child porn. The FAQ section also essentially states that adult film actors can never truly consent to the work, taking the position that all pornography is a form of exploitation, stating that "one may consent and still be sexually exploited, as in the case of a porn model."

Aside from the fact that it’s insulting to say that adult human beings can’t tell whether they are being exploited, conflating victims of abuse and sex trafficking with voluntary sex workers obscures the data and harms people in both groups. Hiding the cover of Cosmo also does nothing to help real victims.

Should little kids be reading how-tos on oral sex? No, but we also don’t know many 8-year-olds who are going to the store and buying Cosmo on their own.

If parents fear the magazine will warp young minds, they can choose not to bring it into their homes. But it would do a lot more good if they talked to their children about healthy sexual behavior and supported comprehensive sexual education in schools.

Last week, the world collectively cringed after watching Cara Delevingne's painfully awkward interview with two tone-deaf morning show hosts while she was promoting her new film, "Paper Towns."

After calling her the wrong name, the hosts asked Delevingne if she "needed a nap" when she looked understandably disenchanted when asked if she had read the book the film is based on.

The model-turned-actress took to Twitter to defend herself, and Paper Towns author John Green suggested that it was sexist of the hosts to ask Delevingne if she had read the book.

Now, it looks like Delevingne is ready to laugh the whole thing off, as she seemingly poked fun at the incident on Instagram on Saturday: 

Got 'em!

In other Delevingne news, the 22-year-old was spotted rocking pink tresses at her girlfriend St. Vincent's show in Montreal over the weekend. It's probably just a wig, but she's totally pulling it off either way.

Hot damn, Emily Ratajkowski!

The model appears on the September 2015 issue of British GQ and both covers (yes, there are two) are downright smokin'. The photos, which she shared on Instagram, were shot by Mario Testino and styled by Katie Grand.

In one shot, the "Blurred Lines" video girl is seen wearing a dangerously low-cut top and latex gloves while biting down on a silver chain. It's very "Fifty Shades of Grey," to say the least.

In the other shot, the brunette beauty, who the magazine dubbed "Instagram's It-girl," is seen holding a tube of lipstick between her teeth like a cigar. 

Inside the issue, the model-turned-actress opens up about the whole "Blurred Lines"-Marvin Gaye controversy, legalizing drugs and what it means (to her) to be a sexual person and feminist.

"Making sure you get what you want in sex. And feeling sexual without feeling like it's for someone else ... Being in love and acting sexually on it in a million different ways is empowering," she said.  "I love men's butts. I shouldn't have to feel embarrassed of that."

SPECIAL FROM

After years of telling us we need to shampoo every day, the hairstyling world has had a change of heart. Many stylists and barbers have embraced the anti-shampoo, or "no poo" movement, which says we should shampoo our hair far less frequently—or even, not at all—since the sulfates in lots of commercial brands strip hair of its natural oils. The no poo-ers claim that, after an initial period of funkiness, bypassing shampoo will make our locks silkier and more manageable.

It doesn't necessarily mean you don't wash your hair, however—just that you eschew shampoo. The process works like this: "Not shampooing works by using friction alone to remove unnecessary sebum," says Michael Dueñas, celebrity hairstylist and founder ofHair Room Service. "Water and friction combined with a gentle no-poo product—or even conditioner—is enough to remove buildup."

The thing is, while this may work for twenty- and thirtysomethings, many older women need special consideration, thanks in large part to the hair changes that accompany menopause.

"When menopause comes around, the change in hormone levels is often a shock to the body, and our skin, hair and nails are an exterior representation of interior issues," says Stephanie Johnson, a Dallas-based hairstylist and beauty educator who runsHairFacePhoto.com. Johnson herself is in menopause, after a battle with breast cancer. "The hair will often feel more dry, not just because of hormone changes, but because grey hair is more coarse. On top of that, we add drying products like hair sprays." Hair coloring and chemical treatments deplete your hair of moisture, as well, as do your:

• Medications


• Exposure to the sun


• Diet

Combined with menopause, these factors make your ‘do dryer, more brittle, and more prone to fly-aways, which can be exacerbated by shampoo.

Should you shun shampoo?

Many argue that dryness and unmanageablility doesn’t necessarily mean you should stop shampooingpermanently. Kristin Desmet, Spa Supervisor at Bella Santé luxury day spa in Boston says, "At Bella Santé we are anti no-poo movement. Menopause causes hot flashes and with sweating your scalp produces extra oil that needs to be clarified with a shampoo." The cleansing, she reasons, keeps hair open to other moisturizing products. "Shampooing removes any oil build-up on your scalp and hair. It also allows your hair to be receptive to conditioner and have more body."

Yet, some peri-menopausal and menopausal women remain intrigued by the possibility of going no-poo. Johnson emphasizes that the decision, "is really dependent on multiple factors," and recommends taking the following into consideration:

• Type and texture of hair: "Grey hair or curly hair need moisture. Oily hair, not so much."


• Hair loss: "Oftentimes, the thinning of hair can be traced to clogged pores."


• Lifestyle: "Someone who styles out their hair regularly will have specific needs and issues as opposed to someone who doesn't. If they color or bleach their hair regularly, there's chemical and mechanical damage to consider."


• Willingness or habit: “Some people just don't like how it feels to not shampoo or to not have that part of their routine."

If you're considering going no-poo, see an expert first. "A licensed hairstylist would have to determine what is right for each individual client based upon their hair, their desire and their lifestyle," says Johnson. Older women with drier locks, thicker strands, few styling concerns, and whose hair doesn't become oily easily, are good candidates to try going shampoo-less.

Products that work

What if you want to continue shampooing, but don’t want to use sulfate-heavy brand names? "The first thing I recommend for those who are worried about the drying or 'stripping' of shampoos is to switch to a sulfate-free / paraben-free option," says Johnson. "Many companies make them, now, and they're often found even in the drug stores. Be aware, however, that sulfate-free shampoos don't foam up like the sulfate-filled counterparts. It's working—just with fewer bubbles." L’Oreal has a popularline, available on Amazon.

If you’d rather go the natural route, Dueñas—who isn’t opposed to no-poo—suggests, "peppermint and/or tea tree-based conditioners, a little baking soda and water, cleansing conditioners and, as I mentioned before, friction." The friction keeps sebum from collecting, a common issue as we grow older.

Finally, there’s dry shampoo. "Dry shampoo is a powder that you shake onto the scalp to absorb the oil and freshen up the hair," says Johnson. "[It’s] a great option for someone who doesn't have to worry about a lot of product build-up, or they're trying to retain moisture and hair color. It's perfectly acceptable to just rinse the hair (not shampoo), apply conditioner, rinse and move on."

Desmet concurs, adding: "It’s great for elderly men and women who do not have the ability or strength to wash their hair every day, and also as a touch up tool if you have a perm or hairstyle that's done weekly or monthly." Her favorite products are Oribe Dry Texture Sprayand Rene Futerer Naturia Dry Shampoo.

Ultimately, to poo or not to poo is your own decision, depending largely on the condition of your hair. But isn’t it nice to know there are options?
