I literally almost just dated this post 2018. WHAT DRUGS AM I ON? That’s not remotely close to being right. Anyway. Here we are in 2026. It’s been a real rodeo.
At Drinks With Broads this week, we bring much to read. First! Our inaugural installation of the Heated Rivalry book club! We are discussing Tough Guy. I dove back into my 1981 Sears catalog and looked at some wild toys, including one called I Vant to Bite Your Finger, while Heather reviews The Miniature Wife. We also examine Victoria Beckham for Gap and the torture of waking up every night at 3:00 a.m. Plus, a very easy Blind Item.
Here at GFY, I wrote a very silly post about all the cute Diet Coke swag you can buy, and also rounded up stuff you might want to wear on vacation!
This is SO interesting. For you fans of The Gilded Age, and/or houses: They’ve opened a bunch of new, formerly private, rooms at The Breakers.
Yes, I WILL see Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler in a Miami Vice movie.
Honestly, this is probably for the best: Sorry, the ‘Clueless’ Sequel Series is No Longer Happening. Please leave beloved IP alone.
Spoiler: Not well! We asked 5 AI chatbots to predict the 2026 NFL Draft. Here’s how it went. My husband has been ranting about this all week. The bots were, like, drafting dudes who are ALREADY ON NFL TEAMS and guys who are not ELIGIBLE. (Speaking of which, we did cover the fashion of last night’s draft, in case you missed it.)
This is a fun read at Ask a Manager: The eye drops, the flusher, and other ridiculous requests made of assistants
I really like the new collection at Boden. This is a great vacation skirt.
Wayfair is having their big Wayday sale this weekend — it starts April 25 and runs through April 27. I sometimes use this sale to zhush up my patio because their Outdoor Shop always has some cute stuff. I love this welcome mat. I need a little table out there for drinks etc and this metal one would look good. (I secretly love this wild one that looks like a folk art pig but it might be a step too far given that I also already had a table that looks like an elephant.)
YAY! Coyote vs. Acme is finally coming out. It is WILDLY INSANE that WB tried to shitcan this movie. What is happening over there?
Romantic! Stolen Letters That John Keats Sent to His Beloved Are Found.
This is funny: The Only Acceptable Karaoke Songs.
Fascinating: The Fanfare Around the Band Geese Actually Was a Psyop. I literally just heard someone waxing poetic about this band on the radio yesterday.
A really good read, and also low-key stressful: They Moved Abroad for a Cheaper Life. But at What Cost? I have four friends who’ve moved to Europe (for various reasons, none of which were really financial) and none of them think it’s particularly cheaper. (Other, of course, than their healthcare, although that’s not also always as simple as it seems.)
I always enjoy the Am I The Literary Asshole? feature at LitHub.
Amazing: Joan Semmel Is Doing Her Best Work at 93. (Note that there is a lot of [painted] nudity in this.)
Bon Appetit says: After Drinking 20 Mushroom Coffees, I Can Say These 4 Brands Taste The Best. No, thank you! But great if this works for you! I support your fungi coffee.
What a read: This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men
J.Crew’s doing a 30% off sale this weekend with code SHOPNOW. Of course the (expensive! beautiful!) tote I really want (AND DO NOT NEED MY GOD MY TOTES I HAVE SO MANY) is not included but I LOVE the map-print fabric on this dress. It reminds me of a skirt Gwyneth Paltrow wears in The Talented Mr. Ripley. They have this print on a bunch of stuff, actually: This shirt-dress, this little shirt, these pants.
A late add that I just notice that Loft is also having a big site-wide sale this weekend. I really like these pants.
Clicked into this SO FAST and, yes, it was worth it: I Have Eaten the Dill Pickle Oreos
I def need to catch up on this: A Deep Dive Into the Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman Trial, Our Next Techstravaganza. I strongly dislike both those people. Let them fight, I guess!
Love reading these lists: The best new hotels in the world. I’ll go to any of them!
Speaking of lists, I always love a book list: 33 Books Coming Out In Summer 2026 You Need to Know About
I recently tried this new “back smoothing” bra from Third Love and I really like it. (I just realized I’m actually literally wearing it right now.) I’ve also been testing their strapless bra but I think it might actually work better on a person whose bosom is more robust than mine is. (I might need to size down? Straplesses are so complex.)
