Yes, yes, we'll get to the celebrities. But first, I have to note that our friend Robin Benway WON A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LAST NIGHT, for [her absolutely amazing young adult novel Far From The Tree, ](https://amzn.to/2ARI0Qf?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)which I cannot recommend enough -- for adults both young and, like myself, a bit more weathered. It's *wonderful*: honest and funny and smart and deeply moving. And, on a personal note, Robin is one of the absolute best people we know -- she too is smart and funny and kind and empathetic, and I always feel like a better person for having spent time with her, and I could not be more thrilled and excited on her behalf.

AND NOW: Jumpsuits?
