I lastly watched Ali Wong’s new comedy particular, Single Lady, on courting after divorce, and omg I laughed 1000 instances. “I’ve by no means been pursued this a lot in my life,” she mentioned. “Boys, they by no means preferred me rising up. Within the ’90s, in highschool, guys, they weren’t into charismatic A cups.” These days she solely dates divorced dads as a result of “I need a man that’s been pre-yelled at.” So good.

With reference to readers’ winter outfits, London-based Sumaya despatched in a submission at the moment: “I wait all yr to put on my conventional velvet Kashmiri pheran.
