How to Make the Perfect Party
Guacamole
When Adam Kenworthy isn’ t doing cameos as Carole Radziwill’ s boyfriend on The Real Housewives of New York City, the chef( seen on page 70) is busy whipping up his“ crowd-pleaser” appetizer: tostones and guacamole.“ It reminds me of my days surfing in Latin America,” he says. Same …?
1 tbsp. coconut oil 2 green plantains 2 fresh avocados
1 tomato 1 / 4 red onion 1 / 2 jalapeno ˜
2 tbsp. cilantro Juice of 1 – 2 limes
Tostones: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice plantains as thick as your fingertip and brown 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and mash flat with bottom of a drinking glass. Season with salt and pepper, then return to pan and cook 3 minutes more per side.
Guacamole: Scoop avocados into a bowl, mash, and mix in finely chopped tomato, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Spoon onto tostones. Blow people’ s minds.

The Urban Bush Babes( seen on page 69) tell it like it is.
GLAMOUR: What’ s your number-one piece of hosting advice?
CIPRIANA QUANN: Don’ t overplan, because when things are too rigid, nothing ever goes right. Oh, and don’ t make people take off their shoes.
TK WONDER: It’ s the worst when you show up like,“ Honey, I got my right shoes on,” and the host is like,“ No shoes.”
GLAMOUR: What do you consider to be the ultimate party foul?
TK WONDER: Looking around to see who else is there.
CIPRIANA: Don’ t be concerned about [ networking ]…. Just talk to good people, regardless of their position.— Kate Branch

Bone-Breaking
A name for hyperfocused moves like the jump rope, the dead arm, and, shown at left, shoulder dislocations.“ It’ s an illusion,” says Murder, who has toured with Major Lazer.“ Obviously we’ re not actually breaking our bones.”
Connects
When your own hands— or your and a partner’ s hands— line up to“ create shapes and lines,” says Flex, whom you may recognize from Calvin Klein’ s spring 2016 campaign with FKA Twigs.
