Happy Friday! We’re getting a big storm here this weekend — I hope your weekend is cozy and pleasant.
At Drinks With Broads: We took Tuesday off due to the Veteran’s Day holiday, but yesterday’s issue tackled Anna’s last cover! A fresh Ocean’s heist! Manifesting celebrity memoirs! (Katie Holmes, anyone?)
Here at GFY, we discussed two of my favorite subjects: Advent calendars! (I should have included this one that’s just inks for your fountain pen! I am DELIGHTED to now be aware of a website called CULT PENS.) And also tartan. (I love tartan season.) (I should have included this scarf. I wish there were a website called CULT SCARVES.)
This is great: Sarah Jessica Parker’s Year of Judging the Booker Prize. SJP is such a book lover, I love that about her.
This was a real undertaking: The Washington Post Got 21,000 Emails After It Didn’t Endorse. I Read Them All.
OMG: When Your Husband Spends $300,000 on DraftKings
This is fascinating: Josephine Baker at Home: 21 Photos of the Legendary Showgirl in Her French Châteaux
No joke, the premiere date for this — Sunday — is literally on my family calendar: Ken Burns Says His New Documentary Forced Him to Revisit Everything He Thought He Knew About the American Revolution. We are a Ken Burns household!
Really interesting: The Race to Secure the Next Big Rock Reunion. My DREAM is REM but that is unlikely to happen, as this piece notes. (Although I also would have said the same about Oasis, and more emphatically.) Thank god I saw REM back in 1996!
A very pertinent question: Did The New York Times Ruin Opinions?
A terrific interview with Paul Tazewell about his costume work for Wicked.
For my fellow fans of The Gilded Age, and Downton Abbey: What Became of the Dollar Princesses’ British Estates?
So interesting: The Secret History of Santacon, America’s Most Hated Christmas Party. (I am so glad the folks who made Class Action Park have a new project!)
A useful Reddit thread: Please share your simple household meal ideas that aren’t every day meals and take less than 30 mins to throw together.
Lainey checks on the latest from The Romantic Adventures of Ana de Armas.
The most important gift guide: Murder, She Wrote Gift Guide
I feel like I need to join the Ephemera Society.
Conde Nast Traveler visited the Traitors castle!
Turns out Skims is valued at FIVE BILLION DOLLARS. Honestly, good on you, Kim. (I gotta admit, I have a bodysuit AND some undies from Skims and they are good.)
I’m working on getting myself some more interesting pants. I just got these and really like them (size up if you’re between sizes), and also THESE frankly insane ones, which I love. (I feel like I might as well just wear insane pants, because, whatever, no one knows what to do with pants anyway.) I have to get both pairs hemmed, though, so the question remains how long I will actually be driving around with them in a tote bag in the back of my car instead of wearing them.
A must-read: Oscar Seasoning: The Bananas One-Woman Campaign of Sally Kirkland
Important question: Is It Wrong to Love a Toilet This Much?
Lainey wonders if Anya Taylor-Joy will reunite with Law Roach — personally, I don’t think she wants to spend Law Roach Money on promoting The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but time will tell? (Law has to be pricy, he’s one of the most premiere stylists and he barely takes any clients anymore.)
I tend to agree: The ‘Christy’ Box Office Flop Proves That Sydney Sweeney Is Not a Star… Yet. I think Sydney needs a whole new management team.
As a lover of souvenirs, I obviously love reading The Souvenirist! The latest: What I bought in India
