Welcome to May! I hope this month treats you well. Speaking of May: The Met Gala is THIS UPCOMING MONDAY! Like a mere few days from now. We'll be hosting a live chat for [paid subscribers to Drinks With Broads,](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/subscribe) and of course will have complete red carpet coverage here at GFY on Tuesday, so please come by both.

Speaking of Drinks With Broads! This week, I crowdsourced [recommendations for my honeymoon and Heather tackled both *Etoile* and whatever is happening with Bill Belichick](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/jessica-plans-to-eat-pasta-and-bill). (Everyone's suggestions have been great!) Tuesday's newsletter was[ disappointed in John Lithgow and happy with Old Navy!](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/we-were-rooting-for-you-john-lithgow)

Here at GFY, [we also rounded up cute toiletry bags.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-toiletry-bags-04-2025/) (I am into a cute pouch.)

We also [talked about the Tony nominations!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-2025-tony-nominees-include-intern-george-surprisingly-but-not-05-2025/)

I mentioned this at DWB this week, but this is an excellent piece at [The Squawk](https://open.substack.com/pub/thesquawk) in preparation for Monday’s Met Gala: [Black Dandyism and the Homework of the 2025 Met Gala.](https://thesquawk.substack.com/p/black-dandyism-and-the-homework-of) I learned a lot!

This is fun! Our friends at M.Gemi have given us a 15% off code[, in case you've been percolating picking something up there](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17187512?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). **The code is DWB15\.** I'm very tempted by[ these lower heeled platform sandals](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17187691?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but I am *also* tempted by[ these squarish-toed ballet flats???](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17187892?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Honestly, I probably need some new sneakers more than anything else; [these are so pleasantly understated.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17244159?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Speaking of links to things, I messed up last week! [This is the correct link to that Hanni Moisture Stick I love](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17188075?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (They kindly sent it to me.) You can't spill it!! (I saw someone online call it "chapstick for your body" and that's kinda true.)

I agree with Lainey [about Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas here.](https://www.laineygossip.com/tom-cruise-ana-de-armas-helicopter-rides-looking-less-business-more-personal/82068?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I clicked into this story SO FAST: "[The Real Reason the UES Mommas Group Disappeared — and Came Back](https://www.thecut.com/article/ues-mommas-facebook-group-shutdown-meta-tiffany-ma.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io): A conversation with Tiffany Ma, one of the most powerful moderators Facebook ever saw." \[The Cut\]

There's [a bunch of new stuff at J.Crew right now.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17188189?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This [dress reminds me so much of something Chelsea wore](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17188296?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) on this past season of *White Lotus* (in a good way).[ And I LOVE this](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17188336?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)...although technically I already own something really similar but who's counting?

Speaking of knits,[ I have had this cardigan in my shopping bag for like a month. ](https://go.shopmy.us/p-17189903?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Eater asks, [Is There Too Much Pickle?????](https://www.eater.com/24420997/pickle-trend-popeyes-menu-top-chef-challenge?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Usually, I'd say no....but I did mutter, "that's too much pickle" to my car radio when I heard that Popeye's was putting it in lemonade. On the other hand....I WOULD try that if someone handed it to me. Anyway, some of us have always liked pickles!
