We made it to another Friday! Hope your week was at least marginally pleasant and you have not melted. (It's actually been very nice here in Los Angeles, weather-wise, but I know almost everyone else is living in a steam room.)

LOTS DOING at Drinks With Broads this week:

First, [we had a fresh *And Just Like That* recap](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-sober-circus-the-gilded)!

Second: [*The Gilded Age* is back and THAT recap is also live](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-sober-circus-the-gilded)!

Next, [Heather and I take on the book you wish you could read again for the first time AND weird designer toilets ](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/designer-toilets-rattan-fish-and)

And, finally, [H watches *The Better Sister* and *We Were Liars*, and I ran down ALL the gossip (so far) from the Bezos/Sanchez nuptials](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-sanzos-benchez-bezanchez-wedding).

Also: [I was the guest on Extra Hot Great this week, talking about the new Kevin Williamson show, ](https://extrahotgreat.com/ehg-568/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)[*The Waterfront.*](https://extrahotgreat.com/ehg-568/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It’s a fun episode -- if I do say so myself -- and also I had my worst Game Time performance OF ALL TIME, so that's noteworthy.

NEWSFLASH: Anna Wintour is OUT! Kinda. [Our coverage from yesterday.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/wintour-is-ending-anna-steps-down-from-vogue-06-2025/)

We also had a wide-ranging[ conversation about everyone's favorite sunscreen.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-holy-grail-spf-06-2025/)

And I wanted to know: [What's your current project?](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-your-current-project-06-2025/)

[This is great](https://www.whatimreading.net/p/black-outdoor-nonprofit-swim-scholarship?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), via What I'm Reading: "A national nonprofit organization is offering scholarships to cover the costs of anyone, at any age, interested in learning how to swim. [Outdoor Afro](https://outdoorafro.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which aims to connect Black people and nature, operates Making Waves — a program that seeks to address the disproportionate number of Black children who drown in pools and provide education on water safety."

Absolutely fascinating: [How ‘Advantage Players’ Game the Casinos](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/magazine/how-advantage-players-game-the-casinos.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.SE8.UCGs.XFo%5FwZPAa3Dc&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This was fun, at Lainey: [Taylor Swift is having a great time in her WAG era ](https://www.laineygossip.com/taylor-swift-having-great-time-in-her-wag-era-at-tight-end-university-with-travis-kelce/82358?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I feel like some of you will want [this *X-Files* Lego kit that just got the green light.](https://www.ign.com/articles/a-lego-the-x-files-set-is-officially-in-the-works-thanks-to-a-90s-contest??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Heads up that Madewell is having [a big sale (you can take an extra 30% off their sale stuff](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20321664?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), a lot of which is already way marked down), in case you are in the market for something. A LOT of stuff is included in the sale. [I love this dress](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20251638?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). They're also got a lot of linen marked down; I really [like these shorts](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20252033?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), AND[ this shirt](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20252088?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [these pants](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20252145?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (I am in a linen phase.)

Fascinating: [Uncovering an ancient Rome wine scam. ](https://theconversation.com/how-i-uncovered-a-potential-ancient-rome-wine-scam-258215?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)I'm interested in all those words.

Neat -- and while we're in Rome: [Huge Roman 'jigsaw' reveals 2,000-year-old wall paintings](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y5w1ldz8do?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I CRIED laughing at this (very light-hearted) Reddit thread: [My fiancée and I both have "silly" surnames. What should we do?](https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/comments/1ljbqhv/my%5Ffianc%C3%A9e%5Fand%5Fi%5Fboth%5Fhave%5Fsilly%5Fsurnames%5Fwhat/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Wow! This[ hotel looks fab.](https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/article/hotel-byblos-saint-tropez-review?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I definitely kept [a close eye on this wedding over the weekend.](https://www.tatler.com/article/lady-violet-manners-reflects-on-wedding?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (NOT BEZOS) (although let's be honest I will also look at that.)

At the New Yorker: [The History of Advice Columns Is a History of Eavesdropping and Judging](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/06/23/i-humbly-beg-your-speedy-answer-mary-beth-norton-book-review?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Speaking of sales, [J.Crew is having their "end of season" cashmere sale starting today](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20312379?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is a very classic and traditional way to stock up. (J.Crew wants me to note that it is 40% off select cashmere, for a limited time only! But it really looks like almost everything is on sale and it's just that certain colorways are marked down.) [This little cashmere tee is in my shopping cart right now.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20312441?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) *I* also want to note that they're having a more wide-ranging sale that is site-wide and VERY GOOD -- [it's extra 60% off (!!!) sale items through Monday.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20312599?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I love t[his dress (it's got peaches on it!](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20312706?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)), I think [I'm going to buy this polo sweater](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20312748?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and the [price on this Breton shirt is GOOD.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20312805?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) You know you want a new one!

Just gonna leave this here for you: [Jonathan Bailey and his thigh-high boots are setting the Internet on fire](https://socialitelife.com/jonathan-bailey-and-his-thigh-high-boots-are-setting-the-internet-on-fire/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I tend to agree here: [We are in a fashion emergency situation with Hailey Bieber](https://www.laineygossip.com/we-are-in-fashion-emergency-situation-with-hailey-bieber-in-thong-kitten-heel-worst-of-all-kitten-heels/82344?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). We cannot go back to those shoes. I had a total foot injury in a pair once.

Really good, and sobering: [Theresa Saldana: How One Actress’s Fate Changed the Way We Talk About Stalking](https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities%5Fare%5Fbetter%5Fthan%5Fyou/theresa-saldana-how-one-actresss-fate-changed-the-way-we-talk-about-stalking.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

A [very interesting piece about *F1* at Vultur](https://www.vulture.com/article/the-post-human-beauty-of-joseph-kosinskis-f1-the-movie.html?utm%5Fmedium=s1&utm%5Fcampaign=vulture&utm%5Fsource=bluesky)e. (It's technically named *F1 ®: The* *Movie* but I am not doing that, calm down, Formula 1, inserting the ® into a TITLE is INSANE, if *Barbie* didn't do it, you didn't need to either. I hope that people who cover this movie on TV or whatever refer to it as "F1 TRADEMARK The Movie" when they say the title though.)

This is low-key riveting:[ I Flew to Turkey for a Hair Transplant](https://www.thecut.com/article/i-flew-to-turkey-for-a-hair-transplant-review.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Seriously, no judgment, people. Do what you feel you gotta do.

Not related, but did we know[ Cuyana has hats? I love this one](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20252656?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (I am always hesitant to order a hat online due to my ENORMOUS HEAD, but I am encouraged by them having multiple sizes and not just S, M, L.) It's packable! (Ignore that I'm not going on vacation again this summer, whatever!!!)

Wow: [3 Friends Found a Crumbling Resort in California and Brought It (and an Entire Town) Back to Life](https://www.travelandleisure.com/jacumba-hot-springs-hotel-california-11708515?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I clicked into this so quickly: [What Goes Into a $40k Trip, Anyway?](https://fathomwaytogo.substack.com/p/what-goes-into-a-40k-trip-anyway)

Everything about this is kind of amazing:[ Sarah McLachlan’s ASPCA Commercial Had Her Question God’s Plan.](https://www.vulture.com/article/sarah-mclachlan-aspca-commercial.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I mean SAME.

PSA: It's the last few days of [the Vee Collective sale](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20269631?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I LOVE my tote. [It has a majestic amount of pockets; ](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20269686?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)the site does not truly give the complete picture of all its pockets. It has a zippered pockets, also some mesh pockets, also a pocket my lap top fits in. Two pockets for phones. POCKETS EVERYWHERE.

This piece is doing A SERVICE to us all! [I Ordered $2K Worth of Swimsuits So You Don’t Have To](https://substack.com/home/post/p-166376567?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I believe it:[ It Costs Over $1900 to Get Ready Like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader ](https://www.instyle.com/dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-beauty-routines-cost-11757709?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Variety runs down [The 10 Best Movies of 2025 (So Far).](https://variety.com/lists/best-movies-of-2025-so-far/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Remember how[ I was waiting to get my Extreme Eye Cream?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20292548?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It went awry! Heather and I spent like two hours trying to figure out if we lost it but I think it just never arrived. Anyway. I WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN, for science. (I might have to just buy another bottle. It's not THAT expensive.) Honestly, what I REALLY need is an Extreme Neck Cream but that's another conversation.

How many of these have you tried?[ A Tour of the Country’s Beloved Regional Cocktails.](https://punchdrink.com/articles/tour-american-regional-cocktails-orange-crush-alabama-slammer-drink-recipe/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

You know I love looking at our sales data, and whenever I link to Wayfair, people GO OFF. I love how everyone is all buying lawn furniture or new armchairs whatever. To that end: [They're having their big 4th of July clearance, which is up to 70% off/free shipping/the whole enchilada](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20283136?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I personally need a new office chair and am not interested in spending a ton on one, so [I might get this one](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20321264?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- it is WAY marked down. (As a sidebar: I also think they have a new buyer or something going on over there. Remember last time I featured them and they had a "margarita" selection? [This time they have a "fisherman aesthetic" selection](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20283172?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). A lot of it is REALLY cute. Like [I do need a Breton-striped lamp](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20283334?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I don't NEED a[ platter that looks like a huge oyster bu](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20283321?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)t.... Also, [these are pot holders that look like lobster claws](https://go.shopmy.us/p-20283285?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You could recreate that iconic scene from *My Best Friend's Wedding.* Anyway, whoever is putting this stuff together clearly has a sense of humor.)

I've been wondering: [Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Protein?](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/protein-maga-craze?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

The Ringer asks, [What Tony Scott Movie Should ‘F1’ Director Joseph Kosinski Make Next?](https://www.theringer.com/2025/06/25/movies/f1-movie-directorjoseph-kosinski-tony-scott-top-gun?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Another good question: [Why More and More Shipwrecks Are Being Discovered.](https://www.history.com/articles/shipwreck-exploration-advances-technology?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Think about THAT, Joseph Kosinski.
