First of all, a reminder! Come out to the Sherman Oaks Macy’s at Fashion Square Mall TOMORROW at 2pm to see me and Heather chat up Pretty Little Liars costume designer Mandi Line, and take in a fashion show! Please stick around afterward to say hello! Until then:
– Wills and Kate and Harry are the official ambassadors of the 2012 London Olympics. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more excited. She will have so many outfits! (Time)
– Oooh, let’s look at Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels! (Vanity Fair)
– One of my favorite characters on my beloved Parks and Rec is Jean-Ralphio. Let’s peruse his Guide to Manhood. (GQ)
– Wired names the Five Best Toys of All Time. On the list: dirt. (Wired)
– I too am concerned that the new movie starring my beloved Tim Riggins is going to be a hot mess. (Lainey)
– Wondering just how hammered you can get at your office party? Grub Street has the answer. (Grub Street)
– Bret McKenzie talks about writing songs for The Muppets and it is awesome. “Chickens can only cluck. Sometimes I’d write lyrics and the chickens would sing; then I’d find out in the studio that they could only cluck. And for penguins, it’s a subject of much controversy as to whether the penguins can talk or not.” (Vulture)
– Enjoy this collection of memorable mustaches in sports. (Sports Illustrated)
– Speaking of sports, enjoy this piece about how the NY Giants quit on their coach…every year…for seven years…except for that one time they won the Super Bowl. Per sportswriters. Really amusing. (Grantland)
– I LOVE the idea that Jessica Biel and Anne Hathaway are currently in a bitter feud and are now blood rivals. Maybe this shall DESTROY THEM BOTH MWHAHAHAHAHAH. (Celebitchy)
– Page Six looks at the Curse of Clooney. Did you know Sarah Larson is back to waiting tables, and hating it? This article ain’t that flattering to Intern George, and I have to say I agree with that aspect of it: though he’s universally known to be a very nice boyfriend while it lasts, his habit of dating scores of much-younger and considerably less-powerful women is starting to look kind of gross. I hear Demi Moore is available, George — maybe try dating in your own age bracket for once. (NY Post)
– Let’s look at the libraries of famous writers! (Flavorwire)
– Speaking of writers, you will enjoy McSweeney’s look at genre fiction. (McSweeney’s)
