Happy weekend, everyone! Here's some stuff to read.

This is an amazing and fascinating story at the New York Times: [To Save the Sound of a Stradivarius, a Whole City Must Keep Quiet](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/arts/music/stradivarius-sound-bank-recording-cremona.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is[ a really neat look behind the scenes at the new Costume Institute Archive at the Met](https://www.vogue.com/projects/13548267/metropolitan-museum-of-art-costume-institute-archive-tour/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[Vogue\]

At Lainey:[ I am similarly irritated about this new Ghostbusters news.](https://pubx.co/9qIDEn?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Also -- can we just leave old properties alone?! Jesus. There are a ton of writers writing new shit. I know this stuff makes money, and that's why studios do it, but it's also *boring.*

[Sonia Saraiya spent some time with Michelle Yeoh for Vanity Fair](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/01/michelle-yeoh-crazy-rich-asians-star-trek-interview?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). She's rad.

[The New York Times covers The Game-Changing Women of the N.F.L.. ](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/15/sports/football/sarah-thomas-nfl-women.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I enjoyed this, at Slate: [Why Is All of New Zealand Obsessed With This Drunken, Littering, Rowdy Tourist Family?](https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/01/new-zealand-tourists-john-johnson-tina-cash-arrest.html?fbclid=IwAR20M-Thl8idHU1xQnyIqO5jHF7%5FWbLUR6M4080c%5FhN27WVTAWqYxQyPthM&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Vulture wonders: [How *Green Book* and *Bohemian Rhapsody* Became This Year’s Oscar Villains](https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/the-oscars-green-book-and-bohemian-rhapsody-controversy.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Interesting, at The Goods: [How the Great Recession influenced a decade of design](https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/12/27/18156431/recession-fashion-design-minimalism?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At The New York Times, good news for RiRi: [Rihanna and LVMH Make a Deal and, Possibly, History](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/fashion/rihanna-fashion-brand-lvmh.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This was amazingly interesting, at Pajiba: [The Empty Mason Jar of the Influencer Economy: The Case of Caroline Calloway and her Creativity Workshop Tour](https://www.pajiba.com/web%5Fculture/the-case-of-caroline-calloway-and-her-creativity-workshop-tour.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

At The Mary Sue: [They're ALSO remaking *Hunchback of Notre Dame?*](https://www.themarysue.com/hunchback-of-notre-dame-live-action-remake/?utm%5Fsource=web&utm%5Fmedium=fuv&utm%5Fcampaign=linkswap) GOD.

At Celebitchy: [Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarznegger are engaged.](https://www.celebitchy.com/606349/katherine%5Fschwarzenegger%5Fchris%5Fpratts%5Fwedding%5Fwill%5Fbe%5Freligious%5Fbig%5Fsurprise/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This means nothing, but I interviewed her at Fashion Week and she was very thoughtful and nice.

At The Ringer: [Marc Summers and the Never-ending Obstacle Course](https://www.theringer.com/tv/2019/1/16/18183768/marc-summers-double-dare-unwrapped-food-network?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

And, finally, again at the New York Times -- guess I spent a lot of time on the NYT this week! -- [I'm just going to leave you with the intro to this piece:](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/arts/design/book-lovers-grolier-club.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) "The Grolier Club, the nation’s oldest society of bibliophiles, just celebrated the centennial of its grand Manhattan home. Yes, there’s a secret staircase hidden in a bookshelf. No, do not use gloves in its library."
