Keeping It Real Kate Hudson’s combination of beauty and talent is very hard to match in this day and age. Also, she seems very humble and down-to-earth, despite her megastardom. Thank you for the wonderful cover story [“Kate Goes Deep”]. —Je≠ Swanson, Everett, WA Best Practices I loved [Brother Vellies creative director] Aurora James’ quote, “I don’t think you can consider anything beautiful unless the process behind it is also beautiful” [Who We Love]. A decisive social statement. Every great endeavor that resulted in greater good had beauty to the process. James’ comment is food, fuel, and fun for thought! —Alicia Ransom, Dayton, OH World Stage [Mallika Rao’s] story on Nicole Amarteifio [“Meet the Shonda Rhimes of Ghana”] was excellent! I wasn’t aware that so many robust film production hubs…

I mean, I start thinking about holiday shopping on September 1, because it’s around that time when the magazine goes full throttle in planning the December issue and the gift guides peppered throughout it. This year, we have plenty of ideas for those on your list. Rhimes appears in @Work (“Power Gifting,” p. 131) along with nine other boss ladies who share what they’re giving, what they’re hoping to receive, and their one tip on acing the holidays. In 101 Ideas (p. 89), there are gifts for your artistic best friend, the kid who loves to put things together…
WRITER Noreen MALONE @NoreenMalone While reporting on microdosing for “Hacking Your Brain” (p. 206), the Brooklyn-based writer delved into the history of psychedelics research: “I was sort of shocked at the quick and reactionary way the government shut it down back in the ’60s. I’m glad to see there’s some movement to do actual research again.” SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH: Martha Stewart. STYLE ICON: Faye Dunaway in Network. FASHION EDITOR-AT-LARGE Alison EDMOND @edmondalison The L.A.-based stylist headed to open waters to style this month’s cover shoot (“The Swell Life,” p. 192). One downside: “The sea was quite choppy, so changing outfits in the cabin was an interesting challenge.” PERSONAL STYLE IN ONE WORD: Black. FAVORITE VACATION DESTINATION: “Driving north up the Pacific Coast Highway in California.” PHOTOGRAPHER Michelangelo DI BATTISTA @24mao…
AGE: 47. OCCUPATION: Actress, producer. HOMETOWN AND CURRENT RESIDENCE: Los Angeles. CASUAL COOL: Aniston arrived wearing a black leather jacket, a Petit Bateau white tank, Nili Lotan pants, and Gucci loafers. TO HULL AND BACK: The shoot took place on a sailboat in the Pacific Ocean; the actress was photographed on the deck, while the cabin below was converted into a wardrobe room, where she swapped outfits among old boating equipment. GOOD TASTE: Aniston opted for a home-packed lunch of power greens. SEALS OF APPROVAL: A mother seal and her pup played alongside the boat, entertaining Aniston and the crew. WHAT’S UP, DOCK? Afterward, the actress disembarked and headed out to meet friends for dinner.…
