A safe and relaxing Labor Day Weekend to my fellow Americans! Hope you have fun and exciting plans. Some housekeeping points of order: We will be taking Monday off but will be back up and running as usual on Tuesday — and SURPRISE there are actual events on the docket for September, so make sure to pop back in and check it all out! As far as Drinks With Broads, as we mentioned at the beginning of the summer but I forgot to mention in Tuesday’s edition, there will be no Tuesday newsletter this week, but paid subscribers will get the Thursday edition as usual and then we’re back to our normal publishing schedule!
ON THAT TOPIC! ICYMI, this week DWB brought you: Heather’s recap of the finale of And Just Like That! Tuesday’s free issue, which covers everything from 16th century drama llama Robert Dudley and the multiple murders he might have been involved in (on both ends!!) to the 90s glory that is Studs, the comments section of which has some great recommendations of Art Crime Books. Paid subscribers also got Thursday’s edition, where we talked our way through a VARIETY of TV news, from the dingdongs on Claim to Fame to the BATSHIT CRAZINESS of Riverdale to cancellation of The Idol, as well as my obsession with niche gossip (which lead to some very juicy comments), and Anna Wintour’s retirement as announced by ESPN (SPOILER SHE IS NOT RETIRED.)
First: The big question is, who is going to try to sneak the news of their divorce out under the radar today at like 5 pm Pacific time? We’ll find out!
OMG this story is a RIDE. At Vanity Fair, back to doing what it does best (rich New Yorker scammers): Kyle Deschanel, the Rothschild Who Wasn’t. (He’s lucky he didn’t run into anyone who actually knew the actual Rothschilds…like Nicky Hilton.)
This is VERY interesting for my fellow devotees of the Bravo Cinematic Universe: The Kyle Richards divorce shill. [Lainey]
And THIS is ALSO very interesting: Timothée, Kylie, and the Missing Article. I low-key hope these two make it. It would be so funny. Who would have ever guessed THAT? [Lainey]
I DO want to know this: What the Architect of Grey Gardens Built for Himself. [Curbed]
This is a VERY fun read, at Eater: “From Roll Tide to Rock Chalk, Eater celebrates the greatest food on and off campuses around the country.” My fellow Bruins of a certain age will surely join me in saying RIP BUCK FIFTY. (Also Maloney’s.)
An interesting conversation, at the Travel subreddit: What’s your travel opinion/habit that travel snobs would rip you apart for?
Whoa — the Taylor Swift concert tour movie made $10 million in pre-sales the very first day. She is PRINTING MONEY over there right now, good for her. [Socialite Life]
This should be fun to argue about, at WaPo: The Best Pizza in America. [gifted link]
We talked about the weird drama happening around the wedding of Miley’s Mom and the Guy in Prison Break in DWB, and now Vogue has covered that wedding. (Miley is on board.)
This dude sucks: David Zaslav Hates Movies And TV So Much He’s Making This Change To Max [Pajiba]
FYI, J.Crew is one of the many places having a big Labor Day sale, in case you need to stock up — or are prepping for fall weather. 60% off sale items!!! [affiliate link]
Also a big sale underway at Wayfair — like, VERY big. My toxic trait is that I keep wanting to buy this chair even though I DO NOT NEED A CHAIR.
As college football season starts — yay!! –Garden and Gun explains How to Throw a Winning Tailgate.
Glad to see the NYT is adding Connections to their regular game rotation. It’s fun. Are you playing? [Celebitchy]
I literally did LOL at this headline at Vulture: 20 Hardcore Sax Scenes, Ranked by Horn-iness. God bless silly season sometimes.
Apartment Therapy rounded up the best flea market in every state. I’d be interested to know you if you agree; the one for California to me is an obvious choice and while the Rose Bowl flea market IS choice, Long Beach has a GREAT flea and honestly the PCC one also in Pasadena is great. I do agree that Rose Bowl has more furniture, though. (I love a flea market!)
Okay, I have a confession: I just spent 20 minutes wondering if I should buy these overalls. (I already have a pair but they’re very hole-y legged and that’s an extremely specific look.)
We had a boatload of chats this week! In case you missed any of the fun, we talked about your favorite niche app! Your holy grail sock! What you wear on the plane! And, most importantly, your holy grail tote bag!
