R E B M E NOV ~ Disguising the CORONAWAIST... the rise of RANGE ANXIETY... whats in your HOSIERY DRAWER? ... outdoor dining at home is HOTTING UP ... T here are strategies to stay positive, even if we cant access our usual options. Practising a technique called temporal distancing where you picture yourself in the future is recommended. Imagine looking back over this time and how you coped? Even researchers who had hypothesised that peoples neuroticism would increase as a result of the pandemic, say it decreased slightly. It seems those suffering from neurosis attributed their anxiety and distress to external factors, rather than their own personalities. For other bright sides and silver linings, see page 28. Ù Ù Ù Its fair to say most of us are tense all day now, during this era of almost constant anxiety. A colleague booked an appointment with her dentist firmly convinced she needed a couple of fillings, perhaps an extraction and maybe even treatment for a painful abscess. When the dentist gave her a clean bill of health she was flummoxed: what about all the twinges and pangs? Bruxism, he said. Thats the teeth-grinding and jaw-clenching related to stress or anxiety. It can cause gum pain, facial pain and headaches, and it can wear down your teeth over time. Its widespread a dentist in New York reported seeing more chipped and fractured molars in six weeks than she had seen in six years. Ù Ù Ù Speaking of coronanxiety, theres another new variety: Range Anxiety, and its got nothing to do with your Aga. Its what one reader experienced when her husbands Tesla ran out of charge near Waterford and they and their vehicle had to recharge overnight at a B&B. Ù Ù Ù What would Monsieur Dior make of MARIA GRAZIA CHIURIs SS21 collection? While Diors reputation was built on notoriously waspish waists, Chiuri is championing the coronawaist. This forgiving, elasticated style is designed to accommodate the pandemic pounds we have piled on. This concept translates as kimono-ish cuts, easylooking skirts, trousers and jeans. Nothing new then. Ù Ù Ù Some of us dont feel winter has set in until we get into our Wolfords, though these may now seem rather mundane when compared to the high-end monogrammed designer versions now featuring on all the best legs. Fendis elastane and spandex 4 November 2020 THE GLOSS MAGAZINE posted, causing more followers to write in, backing up the stories and creating a narrative that outs celebrities for inane things, like being moody on set. Just the sort of lighthearted tattle we need now. Ù HERE THEY COME! Supermodels Linda, Cindy, Naomi and Christy on AppleTV. fishnets have the double-F logo; Chanel are selling semi-sheer black tights stitched with double-C logos stamped on in velvet; at Gucci they come nude covered in crystals. Pradas are ribbed knit and best for fending off chillier weather in blue, green, purple or black. Just dont get a run in any of these most cost as much as a small crossbody bag. Ù Ù Ù With the vogue for patterned tights, 1980s shoulder pads and the fashion set literally going hell for leather, it comes as no surprise that a new series called The Supermodels is coming soon to AppleTV. Director BARBARA KOOPLE will be profiling the original supers LINDA, CHRISTY, STEPHANIE and CINDY and they will be telling their stories. We cant wait, though NAOMI CAMPBELL might have to edit her memoirs more heavily than most. Ù Ù Ù Artists ELIZABETH RIVERS, ANNE YEATS, PAT HICKEY and LESLEY MAC WEENEY, along with publisher LIAM MILLER, were the original founders of Graphic Studio Dublin, Irelands oldest and largest printmaking studio in Temple Bar. Celebrating 60 years with an anniversary exhibition, which opens on November 28, Graphic Studio Dublin has done much to protect the traditional skills of etching, stone lithography and wood and lino-cutting, as well as embracing new techniques. The work of over 70 artists and printmakers will be on display at the exhibition, which runs until January 16. Ù Ù Ù Glossip girls are signing up to the private Instagram account Deuxmoi which posts gossip about celebs and politicos and racked up over 236,000 followers over lockdown. According to the Daily Beast, the account is run before and after a day job, using tips sent to their Instagram inbox. These tips are then Ù Ù Once Dublins most exclusive residential street, throughout the 18th century, Henrietta Street was home to the countrys foremost figures from church, military and state. Here, in this elegant setting on the north side of the city, peers rubbed shoulders with property tycoons, clerics consorted with social climbers and celebrated military men mixed with the leading lights of the capitals beau monde, establishing one the principal arenas of elite power in Georgian Ireland. Dr MELANIE HAYES, a research fellow in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Trinity College Dublin, the academic expert on site during the development of the 14 Henrietta Street museum by Dublin City Council, has written The Best Address in Town, to be published this month. Beautifully illustrated, it offers a detailed look behind the redbrick facades of the once-grand terraced townhouses. Ù Ù Ù As we avoid indoor spaces, outdoor dining is a magical distraction. If you want to heat your patio quickly and with minimal fuss, an overhead electric outdoor heater is the most eco-friendly option but they are in such high demand, you need to order ASAP. And as winter sets in, according to event planner TARA FAY, you also really need to think of the cold that rises from the ground underfoot. She advocates a low-level heater, and suggests sourcing an affordable sisal mat to go under your table and chairs. And you can forget gazebos that get carried off by the wind an architect friend says a sail is your best option. Its a thing. Note: This sturdy maritime steal should be pegged professionally. For more tips on taking the inside out, see page 60. Ù Ù Ù The omni-talented IMEN MC DONNELL has been food styling for a huge sci-fi TV series being filmed at Troy Studios in Limerick by a Hollywood production company. Based on the award-winning novels by ISAAC ASIMOV, Foundation chronicles a band of exiles on their journey to rebuild civilisation amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. Sounds like hungry work indeed. When not food styling, McDonnell loves the Limerick ladies side-saddle meets in the countryside at this time of year.
