Weekend Roundup / Open Thread

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Haley buys the best gifts. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ What a week! What a week. What a week. What a week. Let’s see: we marched onward with the Halloween Advent Calendar, where we tried on some fancy Halloween costumes, saw some ghosts, made the Beyoncé jack-o-lantern of Williamsburg’s dreams, celebrated our inner teen witch, visited a cemetery in every borough of New York, BROUGHT BACK ESTATE JEWELRY, wrote letters to Wednesday Addams, and ran into our old friends, the yogurt ghosts. We also chatted with Sylvia Plath and Katy Perry, saw Dear White People, checked in with Baba Yaga, profiled Cameron Diaz.

The Week With Your Editors: Haley moderated a panel for Rookie Yearbook Three (which you should buy!) (and can you nab me one too??? I keep forgetting) and looked fly as hell doing so. I really did buy some sweaters from Ann Taylor Loft, and I’m very excited about them.

Here are some ladies we think are ace: ghost whisperer Jenna Wortham wrote about Ubering while black, Anupa Mistry asked maybe the most important question of our time, which is “Why aren’t there more movies like Love & Basketball?”

, and Mallory Ortberg collected some of the mom-est moments of all time, all of which are perfect, but particularly and terrifingly the comment by Jaya’s mom, new Hairpin commenter. Do me a favor: call your mom this weekend and tell her I said hi. See you on Monday.
