Happy Friday!
In case you missed it around here, we covered the BEST HATS at Ascot this week and they are delightful.
Also, don’t you want to buy something that’s just stripe-y as can be? How about some cute new shoes? It’s two new Fug Nation Shopping Posts for your enjoyment.
Also also, Heather and I donated signed, personalized hardback copies of all three of our novels to Authors For Grenfell, which is raising money to aid people who were impacted by the terrible Grenfell Tower fire in London recently. Bid early, bid often, and take a look at the other lots on offer, because some of them are SO good.

– Lainey reports on the new Courtney Cox interview where she admits she used too much fillers and looked nutty, and now she’s taken them all out. (She does look more like her old self.)

— At Celebitchy: Alexander Wang claims Bella Hadid is ‘the body of our generation’. As I said on Twitter, I don’t think Bella is even the Hadid of our generation! On the other hand, he’s also going a collaboration with Trojan condoms called PROTECT YOUR WANG, for the NYC Pride parade, and that is fantastic and yay, so maybe we’re even here, Alex.
