THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS ISSUE REVEAL THEIR HOT LISTS
MARINA AFONINA @mafoninastylist
The in-demand Sydney stylist (and minimalist mastermind behind cult fashion label Albus Lumen) embraces European vibes in “Summer Hours” on p110. On my playlist: The Call Me By Your Name soundtrack. I’m obsessed. On my reading list:
Anything about Egypt, mythology or ancient history.
On my to-do list: Take a pottery class.
On my wish list: A Bulgari serpenti ring in yellow gold with a diamond face. It reminds me of my recent trip to Italy. On my bucket list: I would love to go to Egypt and see the pyramids of Giza. On my blacklist: Our lack of a cure for cancer.
JODIE LANGFORD @bodeburnout
The Aussie illustrator, known for her sarcastic yet relatable sketches, dreamt up a custom creation for this month’s issue – check it out on p178.
On my playlist: I can’t stop listening to Angie Mcmahon’s cover of “Helpless” by Neil Young. Her voice is so beautiful. On my reading list:
Am I There Yet? by Mari Andrews. It’s not too long and beautifully illustrated.
On my to-do list: Pay off my car loan. I feel like it will never happen.
On my wish list: I’ve been dreaming of a new kitten.
On my bucket list: I’d love to give stand-up comedy a try. It would probably be terrible, but that’s what would make it perfect.
On my blacklist: The emerging wrinkles on my forehead courtesy of
The Bachelor and its cringe-worthy moments.

Sex Myth (named one of the “Best Books of 2015” by
The New York Times) talks work-life balance in “The Mother Load” on p66. On my playlist:

With more than 25 years of experience working with high-profile clients such as Alicia Keys and Megan Gale, Tammer created the sultry makeup looks in “Heat Wave” on p98.
On my playlist: I love listening to DRAM, Erykah Badu, Solange, H.E.R. and my close friend (and client) Cheyenne Tozzi – her voice is so soulful.
On my reading list: I’m constantly reading about natural skincare and ethical makeup products online. It’s the quickest way to catch up on trends.

On my wish list: A navy suit from Scanlan Theodore.
On my bucket list: I love Italian food, so travelling across Italy is on my list.
On my blacklist: Plastic. We need to limit our waste and make a conscious effort to take better care of the environment.
