Please enjoy the following as you wait to be released from work. It involves the Matthews drinking wine and chortling: \-- I was really sad to read today that The Toast is shuttering on July 1st. Getting to write [If Prince Harry Were Your Boyfriend](https://the-toast.net/2015/06/30/if-prince-harry-were-your-boyfriend/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) for them was one of my favorite freelance assignments, and, in addition to finding their content funny and smart and weird in the best ways, I felt a kinship with them, because there aren't very many independent, small-press-style blogs run by women who just...write whatever they want. I also always really appreciated Nicole Cliffe's great transparency about the financial realities of the gig on Twitter -- she always banged the drum that ad blockers were eventually going to kill them (and, possibly, all of us), and that's not always a popular truth to unfurl.

JUST LOOK AT HIM. \-- At Vanity Fair: [Why the Enduring Fascination with the Mitford Sisters Won’t Die](https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2016/04/the-mitford-sisters-enduring-fascination?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- This Ta-Nehisi Coates essay --[ called "On Homecoming"](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/05/on-homecomings/481818/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- at *The Atlantic* is, unsurprisingly, extremely good. \-- My friend Marissa [wrote this very affecting essay about her friendship with a younger woman,](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/wp/2016/05/12/the-friendship-equivalent-of-running-off-with-a-younger-woman/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) on the Washington Post \-- Apartment Therapy takes us on a trip to [the White House Bedroom Through the Years](https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-white-house-bedroom-through-the-years-228367?utm%5Fsource=RSS&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+apartmenttherapy%2Fmain+%28AT+Channel%3A+Main%29) \-- I really enjoyed [this *Paper* interview with Spencer Pratt. ](https://www.papermag.com/spencer-pratt-heidi-montag-the-hills-snapchat-1795797042.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)YES, SERIOUSLY. \-- [Tom Verducci's profile of Vin Scully](https://www.si.com/mlb/2016/05/10/vin-scully-dodgers-tom-verducci-profile?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- the legend who narrated every summer of my life -- is so, so so good, at Sports Illustrated. \--This interview with [Olivier Rousteing of Balmain is interesting](https://www.vogue.com/13435399/balmain-new-york-store-olivier-rousteing-interview/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). To wit: "He admitted that among his 3.1 million followers on Instagram there are some haters, but ultimately the naysayers don’t faze him. 'It doesn’t mean that I’m not a good designer, because if your clothes are bad, you don’t sell.'" I don't know if I agree with that thesis. \-- This article about [the life of Broadway understudies is so interesting. ](https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/BWW-Blog-Jeff-Blumenkrantz-Understudying-on-Broadway-Part-Two-Sandra-DeNise-and-Sarah-Jane-Shanks-20160510?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(Broadway World) \-- At Lainey[, Bomer and Gosling together.
