Happy Friday, friends. I hope your weekend is restorative and fun.
At Drinks With Broads this week: We take on the new Downton Abbey movie AND the new Murderbot project. We rant about that Elle piece about Jeff Bezos shooting Katy Perry into space. And, of course, THE WHITE LOTUS FINALE RECAP! I believe paid subscribers will also be getting a special edition to discuss the season finale of The Pitt on Monday, so if you’re into that, make sure you’re on the list!
Here at GFY, we also rounded up some of our faves from the Sephora sale. Did you buy anything fun?
And, elsewhere:
This is fun, at Long Live: Dressing Like Chessy From The Parent Trap (1998) Will Heal Your Inner Child
Teeny from Survivor 47 wrote a wonderful essay for Cosmopolitan in which he comes out as a trans man, and discusses how the path through that show — and the spotlight it later came with — brought them to this point. I appreciated this all the more having watched that season; it’s very well done .
One of you shared this last week and I knew I wanted to make sure everyone saw it: Val Kilmer Asked Will Forte to Do ‘The Amazing Race’ Together; Their Agents Said ‘No Way’ and ‘It’s Maybe the Biggest Regret of My Whole Career,’ Says Forte. WE WERE ROBBED. CAN YOU IMAGINE. I’m SO MAD we didn’t get this.
Thanks to everyone’s recommendations, I did buy this linen dress from Quince and I REALLY like it. I like it so much that I am tempted to buy ANOTHER linen dress from them. I love this patterned one, but I am also into this strapless maxi. Thoughts?? [affiliate links]
IMPORTANT, via (of course) the cheese subreddit: I went to the restaurant with the world’s largest cheese buffet! Here’s what I picked.
Interesting, at T&C: How Winning a National Championship Changes Admissions at a School
Relevant to my interests, at Eater: American Chips Are Getting Really, Really Beefy
At Texas Monthly: I’d Give Anything to Eat Augustus McCrae’s Sourdough Biscuits from ‘Lonesome Dove’. Apparently, Lonesome Dove is hot again? I haven’t read it in thirty years — we read it in high school summer reading — but I LOVED it when it did. I remember just devouring it one summer. Maybe it’s time for a re-read!
This seems useful, at The Ringer: Wait, What Do I Need to Remember From ‘The Last of Us’ Season 1 Again?
Thanks to the Fug National who sent in this fun quiz about luxury hotels! [Wanderlust]
