We’ve heard from the candidates and the convention-goers, the politicos and the pundits, so this issue we looked to the most important participants: you, the voters.

This month also marks our 4th-annual New Guard list of the most connected women in America (p. 100). We conceived this…

HIGH WATTAGE: The set was a converted power plant turned photo studio. A LEG UP: In one shot, the singer literally climbed atop two shirtless male models, careful not to dig her sky-high stilettos into them on the way up.
