Election Day Special
CoverAwards spoke exclusively to More Magazine’s Editor and Chief Lesley Jane Seymour and she filled us in on her readers’ reaction to Election 2008:
“I think for the readers, like for me, this election is going to be all about the economy,” says Seymour. “We did a poll a few months ago to suss out what readers considered the number one issue, and then one again that’s up right now, and the economy has gone up in importance—not surprisingly.”
So how is Seymour spending her election night?
“I’m going to be teaching my class at NYU! Then going home to Westchester on the train and spending all night listening to the news. I’m a news junkie,” adds Seymour.

Lesley Jane Seymour, Editor in Chief of MORE interviewed Issac Mizrahi, fashion designer and creative director for Liz Claiborne at yesterday’s More Magazine Reinvention Convention. Their Q&A focused on age appropriate fashion, and how 40+ women can pack a punch into their wardrobe.
An excerpt of the conversation follows:
On Sarah Palin’s look – and why she should get rid of her $35,000 personal tanning machine: “Oh she looks 1,000 doesn’t she? All that makeup and tan and the hair up. Very 90’s and 80’s to me.”
On the worst body mistake a woman can make after 40: “Working out too much [after 40] is rough. I call it beef jerky [arms]. Like when the skin starts clinging to the bones.”

Here’s a sneak peek of what Felicity Huffman reveals in the new issue of More Magazine:
When Huffman made her Broadway debut in Mamet’s Speed the-Plow in 1988, replacing Madonna in the role, Huffman found a thong buried in a the Material Girl’s former dressing room, so she promptly tried it on: “I was like, ‘This is Madonna’s underwear!’ Of course, it didn’t fit me.”
On audition day for the role of “Lynette” on Desperate Housewives: “I’d just left two screaming kids in the bathtub and it was raining.” (At the time, her two daughters, Sofia Grace, now eight, and Georgia Grace, six, were toddlers.) “I thought I pulled myself together well. Later on, one of the producers said, ‘It was so great, because you were such a mess and so frazzled, and your pants were filthy!’”
Scoring the role of Lynette:
Helen Mirren continues to defy age and this stunning photo of her on the cover of More magazine is no exception.
She tells the mag, “When you’re 16, you think 28 is old. And then you get to 28 and it’s fabulous. You think, then, what about 42? UGH! And then 42 is great. As you reach each age, you gain the understanding you need to deal with it and enjoy it.”
Great advice and it’s clearly working for Helen who is 62!
