It's Friday, so let's not pretend you're actually doing work -- unless you count "looking for something else to do" work. (Which we do.) What did people do at their desks on Friday before the Internet? Our guesses: origami, paperclip art, cuticle maintenance.

We've done your homework for you and dug up eight articles for you to check out instead of whatever it is someone pays you to do.

There is a little bit of everything for you -- fashion, pop culture, television, film. But no politics, okay? We're feeling a little overstimulated on that front at the moment.

Vogue

No one.), but she is the queen of period film, and costume, and her cover feature -- in which she is dressed as Anna Karenina -- is supremely beautiful.
