To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Elle Woods universe, I got to interview Heather Hach, writer of “the book” — what they call all the spoken parts of a musical — for “Legally Blonde: The Musical.” This Q&A is so much fun.
John Oliver guest starred on “General Hospital.” Here’s the story of how it happened.
Forty-two rules for a group vacation. I’d be very good at establishing the rules and very bad at vacationing with a bunch of other people.
I’m all for a circular economy, but the thrifting scene on Nantucket sounds exhausting.
I was very pumped about Indyx, the digital wardrobe and personal styling app, at the beginning of the year, but then I had shoulder surgery and stopped using it because my wardrobe options were so limited. This podcast episode made me excited to get back to it.
In honor of Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire when SpaceX went public, NBC News created this fascinating article with really cool graphics. Also, the site tracks how much time you spend reading the piece and when you’re done, it tells you how much money you would have earned if you had been paid $1 billion for every second on the page.
I lingered a second too long on one of those reborn doll videos on Insta and now my algorithm is all messed up. I have so many questions.
“Eileen Fisher walked so Ruti could run.” This very smart article by Cheryl Wischhover uses the Ruti On the Loose Work Pant to explain how influencers and “Insta brands” actually influence us. Full disclosure: I am a lemming and own these pants. I agree that they are: 1. Flattering. 2. Great for travel. 3. Overpriced by at least 100%.
Rachel Beanland, author of “Florence Adler Swims Forever” and “The House Is on Fire”, published her third novel — “The Half Life” — this week, and I cannot wait to read it.
This week’s poem:
Short Distance Friendship For Emma —Lyndsay Rush In another life we are neighbors We trade sticks of butter for Triple A batteries Gardening tips and plumbers Garage codes and keys We salute each other from our front porches with icy popsicles steaming mugs of coffee arms full of packages We do not need to catch up because I saw you yesterday and I will see you today or at the very worst, tomorrow In another life, we have all the time in the world— our baby monitors stretching across the back fence every night, as dusk turns dark In another life, the only reason we don't walk each other home is because we're both already there
You made me laugh and think.
