Hope everyone has fun Halloween plans! It's very warm in Los Angeles this week, and I was just telling my husband that I'm really happy for all the youths who have sexy costumes planned for their Friday night parties and bar crawls -- no coats to mess up their looks. Go out and enjoy yourselves, people! A Friday Halloween is a blessing! (I told the young woman who works at my hair salon to have a great time this weekend, and she was like, "you should go out too!!" This is sweet but I have done my time bar crawling in a costume. And it was a blast! But now I need to stay home and watch the baseball.)

At Drinks With Broads this week, [we dove into my BEST vintage cookbook and had Thoughts about national anthem performances.](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/o-say-can-you-see-vincent-prices) We also put together what I called a Bunch of Appetizers on Thursday -- [a ton of short bits covering everything from lentil recipes to an amazing magazine cover to why we're all so tired right now](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-newsletter-version-of-when-you).

And! [Heather's recap of the *Only Murders in the Building* finale!](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/nobody-believes-you-are-the-cleaving) I don't really think this season held together very well, but this show is always a pleasure to me.

Here at GFY,[ I rounded up our bestsellers from October](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nations-october-best-sellers-10-2025/). Lots of sweaters!

If you're worried about people losing their SNAP benefits due to the government shutdown, please give to a local food bank if you are able -- most of them would prefer money rather than actual goods. If you don't have a local organization in mind, or you need services, [Feeding America can help you find a local food bank.](https://www.feedingamerica.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (In Los Angeles, I've given to the[ Hollywood Food Coalition](https://hofoco.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and the [Foothill Unity Center](https://foothillunitycenter.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). The former also provides a pet food bank and accepts donations for that specifically.)

This was a fun read from the Museum Pros subreddit:[ People who work in collections/archives, what's your weirdest find?](https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumPros/comments/1oindvw/people%5Fwho%5Fwork%5Fin%5Fcollectionsarchives%5Fwhats%5Fyour/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Intriguing: [Jacob Elordi is unsingle-ish](https://www.laineygossip.com/jacob-elordi-seen-getting-coffee-with-attractive-model-as-split-with-olivia-jade-giannulli-confirmed-by-people/84977?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Really interesting: [Salem’s Unholy Bargain](https://www.theringer.com/2023/10/30/features/salem-witch-trials-tourism-halloween?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

[A great interview with Mona May](https://www.elle.com/fashion/a69108569/mona-may-the-fashion-of-clueless-book-interview-2025?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), the iconic costumer designer who did *Clueless*, and who has a book about that coming out.

I'm really liking[ these "thermoregulating" undies from ThirdLove](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29283099?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). They're VERY comfy, and I think they *are* sort of cooling? (They have bras, too. There's [a whole Thermoregulating Collection](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29283260?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) For my fellow perimeno- and menopausal friends.

A [terrific profile of Jennifer Lawrence.](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/11/03/jennifer-lawrence-profile?%5Fsp=484dfc2f-df85-42ff-9ace-dbb9f95b3f13.1761659206172&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This is a big bummer: [Days Before the Louvre Jewel Heist, the Oakland Museum Suffers Its Own Massive Art Theft.](https://www.kqed.org/news/12062303/days-before-the-louvre-jewel-heist-the-oakland-museum-suffers-its-own-massive-art-theft?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Let's not make robbing museums a trend!) Interestingly, unlike the Parisian robbery, a lot of these items could be sold without being immediately ID'ed --- they are asking people to keep an eye out at antique shops, pawn shops, and flea markets.

This is a great excerpt from an upcoming book about the early days of MTV: "[MTV Was a Lot Like Kabul:’ Tequila girls. Coke-dealing staffers. Office fires. In its ‘80s heyday, the network was a wild place with few rules](https://www.vulture.com/article/mtv-wild-parties-book-excerpt-tom-freston.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)."

[Billie Eilish is a real one](https://people.com/billie-eilish-calls-out-billionaires-in-room-with-mark-zuckerberg-11840118?utm%5Fcampaign=peoplemagazine&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=reddit.com&utm%5Fcontent=post). Saying "give your money away, shorties" to Mark Zuckerberg is amazing. (Apparently, he wasn't amused. Cry on a pile of cash, Mark.)

I'm [really tempted by these pants.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29405295?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

HARD PASS HERE: [I Tried the Robot That’s Coming to Live With You. It’s Still Part Human.](https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/i-tried-the-robot-thats-coming-to-live-with-you-its-still-part-human-68515d44?reflink=desktopwebshare%5Fpermalink&st=guXssw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

SO interesting: [Ryan Murphy Vs. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy Influencers](https://amyodell.substack.com/p/ryan-murphy-vs-carolyn-bessette-kennedy-f7f)

PS: We have a Ruti code, if you need [some of my fave pants:](https://ruti.com/products/the-on-the-loose-work-pants-black?utm%5Fsource=ShopMy&utm%5Fmedium=affiliate&utm%5Fcampaign=Heather%20&%20Jessica&utm%5Fcontent=Quick%20Link&utm%5Freferrer=shopmy.us&smsclickid=0fe814a2-e396-4304-964e-8df7767a7929&smscode=DWB15) DWB15 for 15% off.

Speaking of codes, [we also have 20% off at Alice Lane Home with DWB20](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29321176?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). This is only good through the end of the day today (Friday), though. (And I think their holiday collection is excluded.) I [love their candle dish](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29321385?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I'm [also honestly obsessed with this jar](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29321452?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I do not need more decorative objects but it's so tempting! [(Instagram keeps trying to sell me this lamp](https://go.shopmy.us/p-29322997?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and it's CORRECT that I want it, but even with 20% off, it's $$$$$$$)

So interesting:[ How This Italian Town Came to Be Known as the ‘City of Witches’](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/how-this-italian-town-came-to-be-known-as-the-city-of-witches-180987599/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Allison Williams continues to be [the ONLY nepo baby actor who knows how to answer questions about it](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/movies/allison-williams-interview-regretting-you.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Ahem: "I have so many different layers of privilege that it’s hard for me to put together the idea of a person it would be less fun to root for. I’m much more satisfying to root against. I really get it. I really, really get it. I always have cared about what people think about me, I still do, but I can’t begrudge people their reactions." Perfect. Everyone else, take notes!

The NYT answers an important question: [What’s the Best Way to Wear Barrel Pants?](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/fashion/barrel-jeans-pants.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I don't know why [this particular post on the figure skating subreddit made me laugh so hard](https://www.reddit.com/r/FigureSkating/comments/1ojhpde/this%5Fis%5Fsome%5Fof%5Fthe%5Fworst%5Fand%5Flaziest/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It's especially funny without sound.

Another good read: [The queer teens of Rebel Without a Cause.](https://thesquawk.substack.com/p/the-queer-teens-of-rebel-without)

This is A WHOLE RIDE: [The Nanny Who Moved In and Refused to Leave.](https://www.thecut.com/article/nanny-drama-hillsdale-carano-nordenstrom-molnar.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
