Happy Friday, friends! I bring you greetings from my sick bed. That is a dramatic way to put it; I have a cold. But a spring cold is the worst! I have stuff to do! Being congested is boring! And yet I persevere.

In case you forgot, [it's the big Sephora sale this week! It runs through April 20](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53027192?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). We [wrote a big post about it here!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-the-sephora-sale-8-04-2026/) I hope you stocked up on stuff you need and maybe got yourself a little treat.

At Drinks With Broads this week: [I get heated about Titanic *II,* we love "Madwoman," and Heather's Plane Movie was underwhelming](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/wanna-go-on-the-titanic). We're voting for [our next vintage cookbook, shaking our head at Allbirds turning to AI (?????), thinking about *WYouth*, and welcome the return of SNL Concierge.](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/a-new-magazine-is-born-and-a-vintage) ALSO: Our *Heated Rivalry* book club begins April 22;[ this is a perk for paid subscribers, so join the club!](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/subscribe) (Also: if you become a paid subscriber for the *HR* book club, you'll also get the paid Met Gala coverage! For $5 a month! A STEAL.)

Ugh, speaking of AI: [Everything About the AI-Generated Val Kilmer Movie is Depressing](https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities%5Fare%5Fbetter%5Fthan%5Fyou/aigenerated-version-of-val-kilmer-stars-in-new-movie-causing-controversy-among-viewers-and-fans.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Ugh, part II: [Condé Nast Is Shuttering *Self*](https://www.thecut.com/article/cond-nast-shuttering-self.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

ALERT: [This weekend is the Rachel Antonoff Warehouse Sale](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53031720?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- it's through the 19th. This label is so delightfully whimsical. I have a [cardigan from them with big mallards on it](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53032407?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that I always get compliments on. [I LOVE this dress covered in snakes,](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53032708?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) but of course it's not on sale. But this [sweater with BUTTER on it is!](https://rachelantonoff.com/collections/warehouse-sale/products/butter-sweater?variant=42352384737345&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) And so is [their famous reproductive rights sweater!](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53033413?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I love that [Katseye and EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami did a surprise performance of "Golden" at Coachella.](https://socialitelife.com/katseye-huntrx-golden-coachella-surprise-performance/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) That must have been so fun for everyone who was there to see it!

Love[ this homage to the 90s Filofax planner.](https://substack.com/home/post/p-186783527?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Apparently, [Cate Blanchett is starring in a Martha Stewart biopic.](https://www.laineygossip.com/martha-stewart-obviously-thrilled-that-cate-blanchett-will-be-playing-her-in-upcoming-biopic/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I love Cate but I don't think she's right for this part *at all* beyond also being blonde. I sorta think I'd pitch Gwyneth Paltrow, honestly.

A really interesting piece[ about how Glossier lost its way](https://tnge.substack.com/p/the-18-billion-brand-that-forgot) \-- and might be finding it again?

At Texas Monthly: [We Sent a New Yorker to the Houston Rodeo. It Got Wild.](https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/a-new-yorkers-first-rodeo/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

[Apparently Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi might be an item.](https://thesquawk.substack.com/p/kendall-and-jacobs-coachella-lust) I can sort of see this. (Timmee and Jacob can talk about the Oscars or whatever at Kardashijenner family functions.)

[Lands' End is having a big swimsuit sale over the weekend](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53042686?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); swim is 50% off with code BOARDSHORTS! (I actually think that, although this is a swim sale, the code works for other stuff too; it worked on [a shirt I had in my shopping cart](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53216638?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) As I've mentioned before, Lands' End's bathing suits are surprisingly cute and [they also have a TON of rash guards](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53043414?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). [I love that you can filter to shop by amount of butt coverage,](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53043262?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) they're [pretty size inclusive,](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53214037?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [almost everything is available in long torso](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53214981?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). [I have this one and it's super cute on](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53044132?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); I really[ like this one as well.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53044526?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (It's also[ in polka dot!)](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53215348?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Also, I know [this towel with sharks on it is for kids](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53044823?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) but I kinda want it for me.) They also have [a whole selection of bathing suits specifically for women who've had mastectomies](https://go.shopmy.us/p-53214762?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is great.

You'll want to[ look at this (eccentric!) wedding.](https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/oda-jaune-robin-scott-lawson-wedding?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This was fun to read: [Accountability Culture Is Dead. ABS Is the Exception.](https://www.theringer.com/2026/04/08/mlb/abs-mlb-strike-zone-umpire-shaming?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Oooh: [A centuries-old Sicilian monastery transformed into a lush and vibrant garden](https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/gallery/commenda-di-san-calogero-garden-sicily?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is [an interesting piece about death doulas](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/a70964105/rise-of-celebrity-death-doula/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); I have to say that I really respect Nicole Kidman for wanting to do this but also I think it would be very surreal if Nicole Kidman showed up as your death doula or the death doula of your loved one. Much like when Marcia Cross considered becoming a grief therapist -- although I guess I WOULD feel better about my grief if I showed up to grief therapy and Dr Kimberly Shaw was there. At least it would be distracting.

This is a ride: [Snake Bros Keep Getting Bitten by Their Lethal Pets. Only Zoos Can Save Them.](https://www.wired.com/snake-bros-antivenom-index-zoos-influencers-chris-gifford/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Stop buying lethal snakes, dummies!

Caity Weaver went on a search for [the best free restaurant bread in America.](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/05/best-free-restaurant-bread-america/686582/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) What an assignment. Where did I go wrong.

Speaking of: Now I want a bagel, but also I don't think private equity needs to also ruin bagels, of all things. Leave the bagel be:[ Big Money Is Betting on Bagels](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/dining/private-equity-bagel-business.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.bVA.qSNE.W7KQPynr0PYg&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Naturally: [Jack Schlossberg’s Beef With *Love Story* Extends to the Costumes.](https://www.vulture.com/article/jack-schlossberg-love-story-costumes.html?%5Fgl=1%2A1mg5g6l%2AFPAU%2ANzAwMjAxNTUwLjE3NzYzNzM4MTM.%2A%5Fga%2AMTkxNTA0ODA1My4xNzUyMTc3NDI4%2A%5Fga%5FDNE38RK1HX%2AczE3NzYzNzM4MTIkbzU0JGcxJHQxNzc2MzczODI0JGo0OCRsMCRoMTAyODk5MzA4Mw..%2A%5Ffplc%2AWjRwR240JTJGaWcxUWhHcEpMY0FvZGhzNTlPVHlzWXJkWjdjOVk4T2NZT21HejJFNnlLRVhBRzh2MmlzSE5iYWQyYjVTeDJnMkRORXJFbHlhUloxSHg3dUhteXl6RE1vM2pqOUR3d1g4ZnY5TlF5eEU1cExyM2U0dmNlQTUlMkJzdyUzRCUzRA..&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (I think Jack really loves complaining about this; he's a bit of a shitposter as it is.)

This is fascinating, horrifying, not surprising, and probably not sustainable: [4 Fashion Assistants Share Their ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Stories.](https://www.backrow.net/p/4-fashion-assistants-share-their-devil-wears-prada-stories?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
