Good news![ Our annual GFY Gift Guide ran yesterday](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/2022-gfy-gift-guide-12-2022/) \-- I hope there's something in there that's perfect for someone you love. In case you missed this all unfolding over the long weekend (as I did), this is very useful: [What to Know About the Balenciaga Ad Scandal](https://www.thecut.com/2022/11/what-to-know-about-the-balenciaga-ad-scandal.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I find it very hard to believe those grotesque ads didn't go through multiple rounds of edits in house. I also think that it will be a *very* long time before we see a celebrity out in Balenciaga, which I suspect will have to pay some stylists to take the leap eventually.
