Greetings! We are knocking off work a bit early today, because it’s Passover and Good Friday, and I suspect many of you are bailing from your own offices early — or at least, that is what I wish for you. Have a great weekend regardless, please — and the finals of Fug Madness will be TUESDAY, because it’s both Cesar Chavez Day and Easter Monday so many of you might not be in front of your computers. Make sure you voted in the final four!

At The New Yorker, this is so good: Britney Spears Returns, as the Face of Kenzo’s La Collection Memento. To wit: “As a girl, I found Spears’s gift for projecting the agitated intelligence of fed-up girls almost frighteningly appealing. Spears was not the idol whose style one would go broke imitating, as one would trying to copy someone like Aaliyah, who was a matron saint of high-end streetwear; it was Spears’s mood that we wanted to emulate. She was not a designer’s girl; in fact, she communicated best when shedding clothes, tearing off a pin-striped pants suit to reveal a bejewelled, nude two-piece, at the MTV Video Music Awards, in 2000, while she performed “Oops! I Did It Again.” In the aughts, people forced themselves into low-rise jeans; Spears’s pairs went dangerously low, exposing hipbone and ass crack, and the fairy tattoo above it. Fashion loves the quiet wink of the clavicle, the suggestive sensuality of ankles; Britney was totally obvious, reorienting the female silhouette around midriff and lower back. An inveterate entertainer, she looked ludicrous on the red carpet in gowns.”
This is SO INTERESTING, at the BBC. It’s a very logistics-y piece about “the long-serving art handling manager at Tate Liverpool.” Like, someone has to figure out how to move all that art around!
