Happy Friday! Hope everything is going okay for you and yours. Personally, I want to SCREAM INTO THE ABYSS.
Anyway.
Big news: The Oscars are SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY. We will be hosting a live chat during the red carpet and ceremony for paid subscribers at Drinks With Broads. You do not want to miss this, so upgrade before Sunday if you haven’t already, so you can have access to the live thread! It will be fun! Obviously, we’ll have complete red carpet coverage here on Monday as well as DWB’s newsletter round-up of events, too, so make sure you swing by to see all the looks.
Also at DWB this week:
We had a rollicking live chat during the SAGs!
We also covered the best, worst, leasts and mosts of the SAGs!
We have a fresh Severance recap! (Not of last night’s episode yet, the previous episode. If only we got screeners!)
There’s a new White Lotus recap! We have THEORIES.
And paid subscribers got to fill out (and discuss!) the DBW Oscars ballot on Thursday.
Also here at GFY, we rounded up zip-top tote bags for all your carry-on needs. I know many people are not buying anything today — Friday — from major retailers, so make a mental note for later if you know you need one! We also talked about the stuff we can’t resist buying.
Related, while we’re here: We’ve got a ShopMy storefront now! ShopMy is our new affiliate shopping partner. This won’t change anything on your end, except that it’s also very cool because all the products we include in these shopping posts will live there too — so if you vaguely remember that you saw a tote bag (or an eye cream or some tights or whatever) on the site but can’t remember what or when that was, you can check there and hopefully find what you seek more easily going forward. (We’re also trying to back-fill the shopfront with stuff that’s been recommended here before but that’s an ongoing project.) As always, if you buy through one of our affiliate links, we may receive a small commission from the purchase (but the prices for you are the same). We appreciate your support!!
