IT'S HEATHER'S BIRTHDAY! HAPPPPPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER! I got you some articles!!!

Do you [need a new work bag?](https://www.gofugyourself.com/fug-nation-loves-reasonable-yet-cute-work-bags-08-2019?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

We had a very amusing conversation about [Weird Bathrooms You Have Known](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-unusual-toilets-and-bathroom-decor-08-2019/).

Thank you to Grace Atwood at The Stripe for including *The Royal We* on her list of [the 10 Best Beach Reads of All Time](https://thestripe.com/the-10-best-beach-reads/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)!

At Lainey: [They're developing a TV series of ST ELMO'S FIRE?](https://pubx.co/FMKxB6?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I might be here for that.

WaPo gives us [A VERY DEEP DIVE on the Kanye West/Taylor Swift Narrative.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/entertainment/taylor-swift-kanye-west-vmas-10-years/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I do not think any person alive thought his interrupting her at the VMAs would have THIS ripple effect. We live in fascinating times.

Wired examines[ The Biomechanical Perfection of Simone Biles in Flight](https://www.wired.com/story/the-biomechanical-perfection-of-simone-biles-triple-double/?verso=true&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At Texas Monthly:[ What Does It Mean to Be Latinx in the Wake of El Paso?](https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/what-does-it-mean-to-be-latinx-el-paso/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is a cute and interesting article at CBC, about training service dogs to attend the theatre. [WHAT GOOD DOGGIES](https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/blog/adorable-photos-of-dogs-attending-a-stratford-performance-takes-off-online-1.5246983?%5F%5Fvfz=medium%3Dsharebar&fbclid=IwAR2F23Fy7nU-LSzzIvyMeT9P4No-Fn0x7hgrDzI5EtU20qh3R-WMs2U9hwo&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

At Celebitchy: [I miss Cameron Diaz.](https://www.celebitchy.com/630412/cameron%5Fdiaz%5Fthe%5Fmid-1990s%5Fare%5Fan%5Fera%5Fthat%5Fwill%5Fnever%5Fexist%5Fagain/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At Elle: [The 2020 Democratic Candidates' Iowa Food Diaries Are Works of Ar](https://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a28698064/2020-presidential-candidates-iowa-food/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)t. (Mayor Pete is so obviously the youngest person in this race. He must be feeling so questionable right now!!!)

Speaking of questionable diets, at Fodor's:[ I Went to the Taco Bell Hotel and It Was Certainly a Hotel With Taco Bell in It](https://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/california/palm-springs-and-the-desert-resorts/experiences/news/i-went-to-the-taco-bell-hotel-and-it-was-certainly-a-hotel-with-taco-bell-in-it?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At Pajiba: [Did You Need an Emma Thompson Written Movie Starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding Inspired by the Music of George Michael?](https://www.pajiba.com/film%5Freviews/the-last-christmas-trailer-starring-emilia-clarke-and-henry-golding-featuring-george-michaels-music.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At Vulture: [Inside Richard Linklater’s Complete Rewrite of ](https://www.vulture.com/2019/08/whered-you-go-bernadette-movie-adaptation.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)*Where’d You Go, Bernadette.* Ugh, this makes me feel bad for the book's author, Maria Semple, even though she had literally nothing to do with any of this -- it just must be hard to see someone take your baby and uh....totally re-write it and make it worse. This sounds like it was a DISASTER. (Also, maybe a book about a girl and her mom could have used *one* woman working on the screenplay? JUST A THOUGHT.)

Also at Lainey, [all the latest on the Miley/Liam break-up.](https://pubx.co/KBJzOY?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Ah, if it were 2015, we'd all be spending so much time talking about this!

At Town & Country: [Olivia de Havilland’s Collection of Christian Dior Haute Couture Is a Film and Fashion Treasure Trove](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/a28690524/olivia-de-havilland-christian-dior-couture-auction/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
