There aren't a lot of good reasons for a girl to get out of bed early on a Saturday—in 40-degree weather at 7 a.m. So it's a bit of a miracle that 2,000 Cosmo readers gathered over two days in November at Lincoln Center in NYC. Dressed like bosses in leather pants and heels, they came for Cosmo's sold-out Fun Fearless Life Weekend, sponsored by Maybelline New York and Express, coproduced with WME, and headlined by speakers from Spanx founder Sara Blakely to Kelly Osbourne.
