Obviously, the big news this week was Aretha Franklin's death -- I've had her on repeat for the last 48 hours. There have been some great pieces about her over the last few days. I'm going to highlight a few: Buzzfeed's Toni Obaro's [Aretha Franklin Was More Than Just A Great Voice](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tomiobaro/aretha-franklin-wasnt-just-a-great-singer-she-was-a-genius?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) is well worth your time.

This is great, at Time: [*Crazy Rich Asians* Is Going to Change Hollywood. It's About Time](https://time.com/longform/crazy-rich-asians/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This is relevant to our interests, at The Cut: [An Ode to the Hot Men of *Crazy Rich Asians*](https://www.thecut.com/2018/08/crazy-rich-asians-hot-men.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Related, at Forbes:[ 'Crazy Rich Asians' Costume Designer Mary Vogt On Sartorial Storytelling](https://www.forbes.com/sites/tiffanyleigh/2018/08/10/crazy-rich-asians-costume-designer-mary-vogt-on-sartorial-storytelling/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Slate asks: [How Do You Solve a Problem Like Bebe Rexha?](https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/08/who-is-bebe-rexha-the-hosts-of-who-weekly-explain-the-singer-of-meant-to-be.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Harper's Bazaar reports: [The First Major Dior Retrospective Is Opening in the U.S. in November](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/designers/g22665918/dior-retrospective-photos-denver-museum/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
