Cosmopolitan gave its Party Issue cover to someone who's had one hell of an uptick in celebrations in 2022\. Quinta Brunson's *Abbott Elementary* premiered a year ago yesterday, and since then, she's become a fixture at major events, won an Emmy of her own *and* delivered one to Sheryl Lee Ralph, AND [played Oprah in the Weird Al movie.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/i-am-very-excited-for-the-weird-al-movie-11-2022/) She SHOULD crack up the sparkles and party down. Do I love this outfit, or pose? Not really; I feel like they shot it this way to try and mask that the top doesn't fit, and it didn't really work. But so often, magazines do a cover proclaiming something joyous about the star, only to pair it with a morose photo. So I am delighted that this is, above all, triumphant. You FEEL that for her, and with her, and for me it supersedes however I feel about the jumpsuit.

[The story is mostly a Q&A](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a42025277/quinta-brunson-abbott-elementary/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), with bits about the Abbott set, and her background at Buzzfeed; it's a light read, in a good way. I liked this, about how she got herself through a breakup, because her observation about Janine is so cute:

> *It was pointing at myself and saying stuff like, “You are worthy. You are free. You are capable. You are beautiful.” I know it works because I do it through Janine to help get me in her mind state. She’s someone who puts on her outfits that the internet hates, looks in the mirror, and goes, “Unique!” That’s such a quiet little revolution. And I remember being able to do that for myself. That breakup was so hard on me. It just broke my self-esteem. It was hard to get out of bed, to go to work. I really needed to do that to get through it.*
