This has been, once again, a demoralizing week for the world. I hope you’re holding up okay in trying times.
Some distractions:
This week at Drinks With Broads: Another recap of another great episode of The Traitors! A Super Bowl live chat! Feud tackles Capote’s famous Black and White Ball in an episode I felt was an interesting mess. We tackled this month’s British Vogue — Enninful’s last — and talked about that Wicked trailer! And we took a deep dive into Elton John’s Christie’s auction, the possible Bewitched reboot, celeb fridges, and J.Lo’s THE FILM. This morning, a fresh recap of Feud came out! That show is a fascinating mess.
