Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is shaping up to be a pleasant one.
At Drinks With Broads:
– It’s the penultimate recap of And Just Like That! EVER. (And it’s finally kinda getting better?)
– This week’s episode of The Gilded Age was A BANGER NO PUN INTENDED. Our recap!
– We tackle the new Project Runway, plus name our fantasy football teams, and talk yacht drama.
Here at GFY: What’s your potluck go-to? What podcasts are you listening to? And the best-sellers of July!
– The NYT rounded up great potluck recipes this week, too! (People must have potlucks on the brain.)
– This is fun: The 25 Most Important Stunt Scenes of the 21st Century
– Lindsay Lohan has prompted Lainey to shop for leather tennis skirts. I get it; I spent all afternoon yesterday tootling around the Tuckernuck tennis shop (no leather there) despite, as mentioned, being personally very bad at tennis. I just like the outfits.
– Love that the Squawk book club is reading The Kid Stays in the Picture. I LOVED that book when I read it a million years ago.
– Speaking of book clubs, Kevin Federline has a memoir coming out.
– Over at Scratch Pad, Grace put together looks inspired by recent book covers. Fun! I love how many of these revolve around caftans.
– How to Avoid One of the Deadliest Forms of Skin Cancer. I just had my annual skin check last week — it takes five minutes at the dermatologist! Consider this your friendly nudge to make that appointment.
– Sigh: What Happens to Public Media Now?
– Cleanse your palate with this gorgeous Italian garden.
– I think I’m too old for this: “This Is One of the Most Exclusive Restaurants in the World—and the 7-hour, 50-course Tasting Menu Was the Wildest Dining Experience I’ve Ever Had.” Seven hours? I need to go home before that is over.
–Should I buy these striped jeans?! They’re on big sale! (Know that I love a kooky pant.)
– This is what I turn to Vanity Fair for: When Your Husband Is in a Hamptons Scandal.
– So interesting: The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Brooklyn’s Most Beautiful Restaurant
– Meanwhile, this entire thing seems like a total shitshow: Just Two Weeks In, Tesla Diner Already Axed Most of Its Menu
– If you use Dr. Brandt, a PSA that their famous wrinkle smoothing cream is on a BOGO deal today (Friday) with code SUMMERFRIDAY 2. I appreciate how direct the name of this product is. (I picked up a bottle myself. I used to use their primer back in the day but I kinda forgot how much I liked the brand; back at the turn of the century, there was this little tiny shop around the corner from a job I hated where I used to go spend my feelings at lunch and they carried a ton of Dr. Brandt. Memories!)
– Speaking of skin care products, Bioassance is also running a summer sale — the whole site is 25% off. I LOVE their eye cream. (As you all told me I would!)
– This is so clever, I wish I’d thought to write this piece myself: “How Bad Is Carrie Bradshaw’s ‘Atrocious’ Historical Romance Novel? The Experts Weigh In.“
– So interesting: The Mostly True Story of America’s First Black Private Investigator.
– You know how I love the Vee Collective Porter tote and am always talking about it? Anyway, they just launched a new one that’s not quilted. They look great. I’m tempted! (I can’t buy another tote!)
– An important thread at Reddit: What’s the best frozen pizza reddit actually agrees on? I agree that Red Baron is SURPRISINGLY good. Reading this lead me to this Wirecutter piece on the best frozen pizzas. Now I want pizza.
– Finally, I’m SO invested in this being good:
Don’t you feel like Helen Mirren read the first book and just thought, “well. This is obviously me”?
