Happy Friday the 13th! Hope you have a fun weekend planned, despite…you know. (Waves vaguely.) As a reminder, the Oscars are THIS UPCOMING SUNDAY! Mark your calendar. Of course, we’ll have full coverage of the red carpet here at GFY on Monday; we’re also hosting a live chat during the red carpet and telecast on Sunday at Drinks With Broads and we’d love to have you hang out with us there.
Speaking of DWB: We are doing free March Madness pools for the men and the women, and the links to join will be in Monday’s (also free!) post-Oscars newsletter. Anyone can join! There’s no prize because we don’t want to break any laws, but bragging rights last forever. Also this week, we had a robust pre-Oscars newsletter (much to discuss!) including our DWB Oscar Ballots and finally reunited Hamnet with…Taco Bell? Yes. ICYMI here at GFY, we had a very fun Give a Rec/Get a Rec, and I rounded up some cute floral items for spring!
Also! Revisit the 2006 Oscars! And the 1996 ones! And the 2016 ones! And our Best Dressed at the Actors run-off ended up being SO CLOSE. I’d run off the run-off if we weren’t heading into Oscars Madness. Maybe I’ll still do it!
Speaking of florals, the new Printfresh drop is really cute if you’re in the market for pajamas. I LOVE my Printfresh jammies — I’m getting this pair but I was very tempted by the ones covered in bagels. (I’d size up. I like a roomy pajama.) (Heather has these.)

In our chat about Transitional Pants the other week, one of you shouted out Pact. THANK YOU. I just got these pants and they’re perfect; I’ve been looking for something exactly like this for like two years. The width is just right and the length is PERFECT. (I appreciate any brand that has multiple inseams available.)

BTW, Ruti gave us a code in case you missed their sale last weekend — DWB20 will get you 20% off through Sunday night! In addition to The Pants, I have to note that I really like this skirt. It’s SO easy but also looks like you tried.
A great interview with the production designer of John & Carolyn. Let me tell you this: I have big issues with Ryan Murphy, which I’d detailed at length everywhere but! He ALWAYS hires an excellent production designer and set decorators. We interviewed the ones who worked on The People vs OJ Simpson.
