Fugs & Pieces, November 13, 2026

Hope your Friday the 13th is very lucky for you!

PSA: We're back to tinkering with some small site-related issues again, so you might see some weird glitches here and there. Let us know if you do; hopefully, they're temporary. If you are running into the issue where using your keyboard arrow to advance a slideshow causes you to see the first slide's copy over and over, we are actively working on that! (Clicking on the arrow with your cursor works, though. I know this is annoying and we appreciate everyone's continued patience.) We're also swapping out ad providers, so you might see some ad-related weirdness while that swap happens. (This is going to help, among other things, with that issue we were having with bad ads taking over your screen.) We are working on it!

At Drinks With Broads this week, we had a ton of content: A fresh recap of the most recent episode of The Gilded Age! PSA: Heated Rivalry is coming to 4DX (also, Kevin Costner makes perfumes and I investigate a really weird salad)! Heather reads the Kim Kardashian biography so you don't have to, and I get MAD about the new Maybelline slogan!

Here at GFY, in addition to the usual, we rounded up cute holiday party outfits, and the best advent calendars! (If I missed a good one, please let me know!)

Our three biggest sellers this week were The Quince Jeans....but this time in black! The BaubleBar Christmas Gingerbread kit! And this great cardigan.

I also LOVED this trailer and can't wait to see this movie.

And not mad about the Michael B. Jordan Thomas Crowne Affair situation.

PSA: J.Crew Factory is currently 50% off everything and 60% off clearance. If you were eyeing their very cute rugby, now is the time to jump on it. This sweater is a classic – I wear mine all the time – and would also make a good gift. These tartan shoes are great for the holidays!

Baseball Reddit is unhinged during the off-season. This was really funny: Each MLB team gets to convert one of their players into the literal version of his name and send him to a 30-team Battle Royale to the death. Who is your team's representative, and who is the last man left standing?

Agreed, and please don't start me on my number one rant about this!! AMY ADAMS WAS ROBBED!!!! Arrival Is Our Most Timeless and Human Alien Contact Story.This is a beautiful and well-done piece: They Were Married for Decades. Then the Hallucinations Began.

This is fun. At Defector: What’s The Worst QB Performance You’ve Ever Seen?

At Allure: Our Honest Thoughts on Jennifer Lawrence’s New Hair Line, Mes°. (I'm testing it now for the newsletter next week, too.)

The news about Dan Hicks is so sad – we spent a lot of time with him on our TV. I hope his NBC swimming compatriot Rowdy Gaines is okay. I'll never forget him and Rowdy calling the amazing US swimming relay comeback in the 2008 Olympics.

A lot of brands have started their Black Friday sales early – Eby is already 30% off if you're in need of a relief bra (or any underpinnings). Antler Luggage is also 30% off, which is a good opportunity if you're travelling before the holidays to get luggage for that. (I still have my eye on this carry-on.) And Lands' End is also 50% off a lot of things, like this down jacket that I know Heather loves.

And Elemis is already 30% off the entire site, with some excellent Gift With Purchaseses. Time for me to stock up on my eye masks!!
