We made it to another Friday! Hope your week was at least marginally pleasant and you have not melted. (It’s actually been very nice here in Los Angeles, weather-wise, but I know almost everyone else is living in a steam room.)
LOTS DOING at Drinks With Broads this week:
First, we had a fresh And Just Like That recap!
Second: The Gilded Age is back and THAT recap is also live!
And, finally, H watches The Better Sister and We Were Liars, and I ran down ALL the gossip (so far) from the Bezos/Sanchez nuptials.
Also: I was the guest on Extra Hot Great this week, talking about the new Kevin Williamson show, The Waterfront. It’s a fun episode — if I do say so myself — and also I had my worst Game Time performance OF ALL TIME, so that’s noteworthy.
NEWSFLASH: Anna Wintour is OUT! Kinda. Our coverage from yesterday.
We also had a wide-ranging conversation about everyone’s favorite sunscreen.
And I wanted to know: What’s your current project?
This is great, via What I’m Reading: “A national nonprofit organization is offering scholarships to cover the costs of anyone, at any age, interested in learning how to swim. Outdoor Afro, which aims to connect Black people and nature, operates Making Waves — a program that seeks to address the disproportionate number of Black children who drown in pools and provide education on water safety.”
Absolutely fascinating: How ‘Advantage Players’ Game the Casinos
This was fun, at Lainey: Taylor Swift is having a great time in her WAG era
I feel like some of you will want this X-Files Lego kit that just got the green light.
Heads up that Madewell is having a big sale (you can take an extra 30% off their sale stuff, a lot of which is already way marked down), in case you are in the market for something. A LOT of stuff is included in the sale. I love this dress. They’re also got a lot of linen marked down; I really like these shorts, AND this shirt, and these pants. (I am in a linen phase.)
Fascinating: Uncovering an ancient Rome wine scam. I’m interested in all those words.
Neat — and while we’re in Rome: Huge Roman ‘jigsaw’ reveals 2,000-year-old wall paintings
I CRIED laughing at this (very light-hearted) Reddit thread: My fiancée and I both have “silly” surnames. What should we do?
Wow! This hotel looks fab.
I definitely kept a close eye on this wedding over the weekend. (NOT BEZOS) (although let’s be honest I will also look at that.)
At the New Yorker: The History of Advice Columns Is a History of Eavesdropping and Judging
Speaking of sales, J.Crew is having their “end of season” cashmere sale starting today, which is a very classic and traditional way to stock up. (J.Crew wants me to note that it is 40% off select cashmere, for a limited time only! But it really looks like almost everything is on sale and it’s just that certain colorways are marked down.) This little cashmere tee is in my shopping cart right now. I also want to note that they’re having a more wide-ranging sale that is site-wide and VERY GOOD — it’s extra 60% off (!!!) sale items through Monday. I love this dress (it’s got peaches on it!), I think I’m going to buy this polo sweater, and the price on this Breton shirt is GOOD. You know you want a new one!
Just gonna leave this here for you: Jonathan Bailey and his thigh-high boots are setting the Internet on fire
I tend to agree here: We are in a fashion emergency situation with Hailey Bieber. We cannot go back to those shoes. I had a total foot injury in a pair once.
Really good, and sobering: Theresa Saldana: How One Actress’s Fate Changed the Way We Talk About Stalking
A very interesting piece about F1 at Vulture. (It’s technically named F1 ®: The Movie but I am not doing that, calm down, Formula 1, inserting the ® into a TITLE is INSANE, if Barbie didn’t do it, you didn’t need to either. I hope that people who cover this movie on TV or whatever refer to it as “F1 TRADEMARK The Movie” when they say the title though.)
This is low-key riveting: I Flew to Turkey for a Hair Transplant. Seriously, no judgment, people. Do what you feel you gotta do.
Not related, but did we know Cuyana has hats? I love this one. (I am always hesitant to order a hat online due to my ENORMOUS HEAD, but I am encouraged by them having multiple sizes and not just S, M, L.) It’s packable! (Ignore that I’m not going on vacation again this summer, whatever!!!)
Wow: 3 Friends Found a Crumbling Resort in California and Brought It (and an Entire Town) Back to Life
I clicked into this so quickly: What Goes Into a $40k Trip, Anyway?
Everything about this is kind of amazing: Sarah McLachlan’s ASPCA Commercial Had Her Question God’s Plan. I mean SAME.
PSA: It’s the last few days of the Vee Collective sale. I LOVE my tote. It has a majestic amount of pockets; the site does not truly give the complete picture of all its pockets. It has a zippered pockets, also some mesh pockets, also a pocket my lap top fits in. Two pockets for phones. POCKETS EVERYWHERE.
This piece is doing A SERVICE to us all! I Ordered $2K Worth of Swimsuits So You Don’t Have To
I believe it: It Costs Over $1900 to Get Ready Like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader
Variety runs down The 10 Best Movies of 2025 (So Far).
Remember how I was waiting to get my Extreme Eye Cream? It went awry! Heather and I spent like two hours trying to figure out if we lost it but I think it just never arrived. Anyway. I WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN, for science. (I might have to just buy another bottle. It’s not THAT expensive.) Honestly, what I REALLY need is an Extreme Neck Cream but that’s another conversation.
How many of these have you tried? A Tour of the Country’s Beloved Regional Cocktails.
You know I love looking at our sales data, and whenever I link to Wayfair, people GO OFF. I love how everyone is all buying lawn furniture or new armchairs whatever. To that end: They’re having their big 4th of July clearance, which is up to 70% off/free shipping/the whole enchilada. I personally need a new office chair and am not interested in spending a ton on one, so I might get this one — it is WAY marked down. (As a sidebar: I also think they have a new buyer or something going on over there. Remember last time I featured them and they had a “margarita” selection? This time they have a “fisherman aesthetic” selection. A lot of it is REALLY cute. Like I do need a Breton-striped lamp. I don’t NEED a platter that looks like a huge oyster but…. Also, these are pot holders that look like lobster claws. You could recreate that iconic scene from My Best Friend’s Wedding. Anyway, whoever is putting this stuff together clearly has a sense of humor.)
I’ve been wondering: Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Protein?
The Ringer asks, What Tony Scott Movie Should ‘F1’ Director Joseph Kosinski Make Next?
Another good question: Why More and More Shipwrecks Are Being Discovered. Think about THAT, Joseph Kosinski.
