Dilma Rousseff will be joining Barack Obama for dinner tonight.

The legal sparring between American Apparel and its ousted, estranged founder, Dov Charney, is impressive. This month alone, American Apparel has gotten a restraining order against Charney; Charney has filed suits against the company alleging defamation, securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, conspiracy, emotional distress, and more. American Apparel responded by filing documents alleging that Charney called employees “Filipino pigs,” mimed holding a gun to an employee’s head, and stored sex footage of himself with models and employees on company equipment. (Charney’s attorneys denied the claims.)

Following Alexis Tspiras’ announcement that Greeks will vote on whether to accept the country’s international creditors’ bailout terms, many are rushing to ATMs to withdraw their cash.

Many across the US—and the world—this weekend are celebrating the Supreme Court’s ruling that same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states.

On the scale of activities, many women I know put the pleasure of swimsuit shopping somewhere between driver’s license renewal and bikini waxing. I do not blame them. Over the last decade, I have found swimsuit options to be at once overwhelming in their quantity and price, and underwhelming in their quality. Dressing room lighting hasn’t helped.

That Lululemon jacket may look nice, but there’s a chance it’s trying to gouge your eyes out. This is according to a recall of more than 300,000 of the Canadian athleisure brand’s tops that feature elastic drawcords with hard-tipped ends. If those cords are caught on something and then released, they can snap back like a rubber band and impact one’s face or eye. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, seven people have already reported such injuries.

On Friday, the comedian Marc Maron interviewed president Barack Obama in his Los Angeles garage studio, for an episode of his popular podcast, “WTF with Marc Maron.” Maron generally hosts comedians, actors, and writers on his show, and connects with his guests on raw, human terms, discussing topics such as heartbreak, addiction, anxiety, and personal failures and successes.

I have yet to see Jurassic World, but I have already been made aware of one of the film’s great special effects. It’s not a CGI mega-raptor or submarine-sized shark, but a modern-day woman, running in high heels.

It’s happened to the best of us. Tempted by a steep discount, we succumb to the temptation of buying an item of clothing, or maybe an accessory, we don’t exactly need. But it’s such a great deal!

As Gap flounders, many of who us grew up with the retailer lament the loss of the Gap we grew up with: a source for basics such as hearty pocket tee-shirts, reliable denim, and a few seasonal updates. (Also, these ladies.)

Gap has announced it will close 175 of its US stores and fire about 250 people at its headquarters, confirming what anyone who regularly visits the stores has likely noticed: it’s getting ugly.

Maybe it’s because the nineties were the decade when real bikinis came within my reach, or maybe it’s that, as per Jane Pratt’s wonderful theory, my “emotional age” is that of a 17-year-old, but I have never truly moved past the swimwear of the 1990s.
