You guys, I have the worst cold. Please hit me up with your home remedies in the comments. While I sneeze:

\-- I'm sure you'll hear more about this from us in the next few months, but [*The Royal We* comes out in paperback in a couple of months, and it's available for pre-order NOW. Can I entice you by noting that it has a bonus chapter?](https://www.amazon.com/Royal-We-Heather-Cocks/dp/1455557110?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (It's not new plot, but it *is* a look at an event in the book from the POV of another character.) (It also has a new cover for the paperback, so if you were in love with the hardback cover...FYI.)

\-- We've been at Fashion Week this past week, although not writing as much as in years past for a variety of reasons (one of which being that the days of interesting celebs at every show are long gone). [We did attend this *Bachelor* auction -- with contestants from *The Bachelor --* and it was really funny](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/tv/a53666/bachelorette-20th-anniversary-valentines-day-screening-party/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). We've got a few other pieces to come, as well.

\-- We covered [the best and worst of the Grammys for Cosmo!](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/g5418/fug-girls-grammys-best-and-worst-2016/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- *The Royal We* is Forever Young Adult's book club pick for the month -- despite being an adult novel; thanks for bending the rules, guys! -- [and they invented a cocktail for it!](https://foreveryoungadult.com/2016/02/18/the-royal-we-cocktail/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Relevant to our interests, at Pajiba:[ 11 Things I Learned From *Star Wars and the Power of Costume.*](https://www.pajiba.com/star%5Fwars/11-things-i-learned-from-star-wars-and-the-power-of-costume.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- *Marie Claire,* partnering with Harvard, [did an extensive, well-researched, and compelling piece on women and guns](https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a18016/women-and-guns/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that is well worth your time.

\-- Not to pivot subjects too violently, but I also enjoyed [this piece on Thrillist going behind the scenes at the Westminster dog show. ](https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/new-york/behind-the-scenes-at-the-westminster-dog-show?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)To wit: "One of the strangest room requests the Dog Concierge has received is for a simple cot. The night before the big show, a handler once requested a child’s cot for his well-furnished, $200-a-night room -- and proceeded to sleep on it himself, gifting the bed to his dog."

\-- The New Potato [rounds up 16 perfect lipbalms.](https://www.thenewpotato.com/2016/02/15/how-to-cure-chapped-lips/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- [FINALLY that crackpot children's restaurant/club Jessica Biel has been working for years has opened.](https://www.laineygossip.com/Jessica-Biel-attends-opening-for-her-restaurant--Au-Fudge/43071?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) My prediction, contrary to Lainey's, is that it will NOT be a hit. LA has a lot of places to take your kids and this seems so overwrought to me. I guess we'll see! (Lainey)

\-- America Theatre has [a good piece about *Crazy Ex-Girlfriend* they're calling Making a Musical on a TV Schedule](https://www.americantheatre.org/2016/02/12/crazy-ex-girlfriend-making-a-musical-on-a-tv-schedule/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and I love the lede: "Aline Brosh McKenna loves to enter the 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' writers’ room as if she’s starring in *Hamilton*. 'Angelica!' she sings, doing her best Renée Elise Goldsberry, to which her colleagues will enthusiastically reply, 'Eliza!' and, 'And Peggy' in perfect Schuyler Sisters rhythm."

\-- Speaking of *Hamilton*, [Tyranny of Style looks at its costume design](https://tyrannyofstyle.com/costume-design-hamilton-broadway?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) in an interview with designer Paul Tazewell.

\-- Over at Socialite Life, J[ake Gyllenhaal sings *West Side Story.*](https://www.socialitelife.com/listen-jake-gyllenhaal-shows-off-his-singing-with-a-rendition-of-maria-from-west-wide-story-02-2016?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- At Hyperallergic: [The Otherworldly Modern Homes that Were Never Built](https://hyperallergic.com/272658/the-otherworldly-modern-homes-that-were-never-built/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- *The New Yorker* [profile of TMZ is FASCINATING.](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/02/22/inside-harvey-levins-tmz?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Girls of a Certain Age [talks great bags.](https://www.girlofacertainage.com/2016/02/17/black-bags-some-splurgy-others-less-so/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- [There are a lot of theories about why Rihanna skipped the Grammys, ](https://www.celebitchy.com/471560/rihanna%5Fwas%5Fscreaming%5Fhysterical%5Fbefore%5Fshe%5Fbailed%5Fon%5Fthe%5Fgrammys/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)but if she's got this plague that I've got, I ALSO would have skipped the Grammys, so I kind of believe the official story. (Celebitchy)

\-- Vulture's got a very interesting look[ at what's gone wrong at ABC this season.](https://www.vulture.com/2016/02/paul-lee-abc-2015-2016-season-what-went-wrong.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
