Welcome to the Thunderdome! (I dunno. I just felt like typing the word "Thunderdome." Also I think we live in one now.) Hope everyone is getting along as best they can out there. Big news: The SAGs are this Sunday. We will naturally be hosting a live chat at Drinks With Broads and would love to see you there. If you're the sort of person who dips in and out for a month or two at a time, this is probably a wise time to dip in because we've got a lot of recaps running *and* we're in the heart of awards season. [There's also a group rate going right now, where if at least three people subscribe as a group for a year, you each get $10 off the yearly price.](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/subscribe?group=true) So grab your friends! ([This Substack page describes how group subs work](https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040351231-I-m-the-administrator-of-a-group-subscription-How-do-I-add-members).) Obviously, we will also have complete red carpet coverage here on Monday.

Speaking of, this week:

\-- Our [*White Lotus* recaps have BEGUN!](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-white-lotus-recap) I can't wait for the episode where *Vanity Fair* writes an article that's like, "The five star luxury hotel chain...with a MURDER problem" and we cut to a new character: The hotel's VP of communications. SHE'S STRESSED.

\-- [You got a fresh *Severance* recap, complete with melon head (not a euphemism). (But perhaps a metaphor?)](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/severance-serves-up-a-fruit-head)

\-- We ranked [the Bridget Jones movies and went shopping at Gatorland](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/lets-rank-the-bridget-jones-movies). I almost bought a ridiculous teapot.

\-- We tackled the[ Ana de Armas/Tom Cruise rumors, checked in on *The Traitors*, and the new *Legally Blonde*, and played a little *Severance* game](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/from-benana-to-anatommy-no-thats).

\-- Here at GFY, [we all shared what we're reading!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-what-are-you-reading-right-now-10-02-2025/)

And, elsewhere:

\-- [Lainey doesn't think the Biebers are breaking up](https://www.laineygossip.com/what-would-it-take-for-speculation-about-justin-hailey-biebers-marriage-to-end/80686?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and honestly neither do I.

\-- [J.Crew has done a collab with ](https://go.shopmy.us/p-13438746?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)*The New Yorker*, and regrettably I want much of it ([obviously the tote bag](https://go.shopmy.us/p-13438938?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) because my appetite for totes will never be satisfied). They need to make [this Talk of the Town t-shirt in adult size](https://go.shopmy.us/p-13438873?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)s. Also, [this blazer -- not *New Yorker* related -- is on big sale and I want it but I do not need a blazer. Apparently I always want a blazer or a tote.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-13439110?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[affiliate link\]

\-- The NYT rounds up [The 25 Shoes and Bags That Transformed Fashion.](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/t-magazine/most-influential-shoes-bags-fashion-accessories.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.yU4.V5fF.2ZjIZ%5FTiXD5C&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[gifted link\]

\-- Pajiba reports [DC’s Most Interesting Film Project Just Lost Its Star](https://www.pajiba.com/news/dcs-most-interesting-film-project-just-lost-its-star.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\-- The Stripe has a [great round-up of Black-owned businesses and artists to shop.](https://thestripe.com/celebrating-black-owned-businesses-black-art/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Second Story is one of my favorite new publications and I loved this issue: [The prewar floorplan fantasy.](https://robertkhederian.substack.com/p/prewar-apartment-floor-plan-history) Let's look at some classic Manhattan apartment floorplans!! It's so interesting.

\-- This is funny: [The Lorne Michaels Book-Event Thread Is the Reply-All Disaster We Need](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/the-lorne-michaels-book-event-reply-all-fiasco.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- If all goes well, I will be heading off on a delayed honeymoon/milestone birthday trip this May and that means one thing: Pretending I need new clothes/shoes/totes (AGAIN) for this. In all sincerity, I *might* need new cute sneakers. [I'm considering these?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-13439744?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[affiliate link\]

\-- I bitched about this in general at DWB this week, but once more with feeling: I have major reboot fatigue. At Socialite Life: [A White Collar reboot with Matt Bomer is being shopped to networks](https://socialitelife.com/a-white-collar-reboot-with-matt-bomer-is-being-shopped-to-networks/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (This show -- which I always really enjoyed during its original run -- doesn't work without Willie Garson, to my mind?)

\-- If I win the Lotto -- and maybe even if not -- [I am buying this lamp that looks like my dog.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-13439904?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[affiliate link\]

\-- Super interesting and very logistics-y at The Squawk: [Blake Lively’s wardrobe and what’s “normal”](https://thesquawk.substack.com/p/blake-livelys-wardrobe-and-whats)

\-- Saturday is National Margarita Day -- should be a federal holiday!!! -- and of course I spent a lot of time perusing this Reddit thread: [What is everyone’s absolute classic, go-to margarita recipe?](https://www.reddit.com/r/cocktails/comments/t1mhix/what%5Fis%5Feveryones%5Fabsolute%5Fclassic%5Fgoto%5Fmargarita/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Our friends at Whatever, Nevermind[ talked to the costume designer behind the new Bridget Jones movie.](https://heywhatevernevermind.substack.com/p/bridget-jones-mad-about-the-boy-renee-zellweger-costumes-outfits)

\-- Eater takes on [The State of Date Night Dining.](https://www.eater.com/24365630/date-night-restaurant-budget?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It's very interesting. A lot of people are doing "date night" at home now, it seems. (I am not. I like to go out! But "out" IS expensive. \[A lot of my outings are cheap though.\])
