Welcome to episode three of three in my royal fiction series, which we started with Katharine McGee, continued with Linda Keir, and are finishing with Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, authors of both The Royal We and The Heir Affair. I would argue that The Royal We released in 2015—actually kickstarted this trend of royal fiction that continues and continues today. In this book—which is inspired by the love story of Prince William and Kate Middleton—we meet an American girl, Bex Porter, who meets a dreamy guy named Nick while at Oxford, and finds herself accidentally in love with, casually, the heir to the British throne. Interestingly, the American aspect was introduced by Heather and Jessica in 2015, before Prince Harry ever met Meghan Markle the next year, in 2016. In 2020, the follow up to The Royal We, The Heir Affair, was released, and in this book, we find (slight spoiler alert here) Bex adjusting to royal life, including a scandalous secret that turned her wedding to Nick into a nightmare, leaving them in self-imposed exile. Trying so hard to not give spoilers here. In this book we get to know the character of Freddie more, and—you know what, you just need to add these two books to your summer beach bag, and you just need to read the books. Because if I keep going, I'm going to give plot points away, and I don't want to do that. I am so thrilled to have had the chance to chat with the dynamic Heather and Jessica, who, in addition to writing these two books, are the creators of the unparalleled celebrity fashion blog, Go Fug Yourself, and are known as such as The Fug Girls. In addition to The Royal We and The Heir Affair, they've also written two young adult novels, Spoiled and Messy, and have written everywhere from New York Magazine to Vanity Fair to Cosmopolitan, The New York Times, The Washington Post, W, Glamour, and more. One thing we actively and intentionally avoid in this conversation is the real-life happenings of the royal family—so if you're looking for dish and juice on that, you'll be disappointed—but you won't be disappointed in this chat, which is fantastic. In this conversation, we prefer to stay in the fictional world of Bex and Nick and Freddie, and I think you'll find that you'll enjoy it there with us. These two women are phenomenal.   The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

On our latest weekly roundup, it's musical bedrooms at Terri's house, and she now has her very own office!What we're watching: We continued with season 1 of Reservation Dogs with episodes 3 and 4 ("Uncle Brownie" and "What About Your Dad"). The kids are having a rough go of it, but the show remains quite enjoyable to watch. We also spent some time discussing the Oscar nominees and not-nominees. Mentioned: Drinks with Broads, the Fug Girls' newsletter that makes for a great accompaniment to, or substitute for, watching awards shows on TV.Catherine's library find this week is not a book, but a website called Book Marks, which is an aggregator of book reviews. Use it to quickly check the critical consensus on a book you're curious about. Or just read the Most Scathing Book Reviews of 2023.In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed support without smothering (February 2, 2023); the misery of making phone calls, volume 1 (January 29, 2020) and volume 2 (February 4, 2019); and teaching kids resilience (January 29, 2018). Mentioned: The EconTalk podcast discussing the book Fluke by Brian Klaas.​Next week, we'll watch the next two episodes of Reservation Dogs, season 1: Episode 5, "Come and Get Your Love," and 6, "Hunting." Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

We discuss The Royal We by the Fug Girls, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan.  This royal romance is loosely based on Will and Kate.  It's an Erica pick, and we definitely had some mixed reviews!

The Crown is back with the first half (or so) of its final season; as it sends off Princess Diana, Heather Cocks joins us to discuss whether the season had to happen at all. Around The Dial takes us through The Real Housewives Of New York, Killing It, the second season of Julia, and the latest episode of Opera Wars, aka The Gilded Age. Heather makes the case for For All Mankind's "Hi Bob" to be inducted into The Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time you and all your nieces can enjoy. Shoo out any palace mice and listen! GUESTS

On our latest weekly roundup, Catherine is sorely tempted by some very cute kittens (it's easy because they live 2,000 miles away). Mentioned: Heidi Wrangles Cats on Instagram.What we're watching: It was time for that Dancing with the Stars staple, "My Most Memorable Year." As always, that meant lots of emotional, barefoot contemporary dances (and a bunch of Viennese waltzes) followed by judging that seems extra harsh, what with all the hearts on all the sleeves.We also returned to The Gilded Age with season 2, episode 1: "You Don't Even Like Opera." Once again, there is scheming, secrets, and many, many elaborate hats. Mentioned: Commentary on the show from the Fug Girls (on their website for season 1 and their Substack for season 2) and Alan Sepinwall at Rolling Stone.Catherine's library find this week spotlights a series called the Food Group, from illustrator Pete Oswald and author Jory John. Check out The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, The Big Cheese, and many more.In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed signs of senior-parent-itis (October 31, 2022), Halloween hassles (October 31, 2019), and the scariest places we've been (November 1, 2016).​Next week, our TV watch will cover "Monster Night" (Halloween) on Dancing with the Stars, and "Some Sort of Trick" on The Gilded Age. Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available! ​This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3680863/advertisement

On our latest weekly roundup, we are once again grateful that we don't have to deal with all the logistics surrounding high school events (even though we have a front-row seat to some of them).What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building's "Thirty" (episode 9), the trio started to close in on Ben's killer (killers?). We were quite proud of some of the predictions and connections we made last week, as well as those discussed over on Drinks with Broads, the Substack from the Fug Girls.We also did get the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars after all, and found it enjoyable even at two and a half hours long. So many dances! Mentioned: Jason Mraz's songs "Lucky" (featuring Colbie Caillat) and "I'm Yours."​Catherine's library find this week highlights the cozy mystery phenomenon, especially the punnily titled food-themed books. There's one for everyone!In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed what cheers us up (October 8, 2020), Apple Watch features for parents (October 7, 2019, and October 6, 2022), and children's books we've loved and loathed (October 2, 2015).​We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S3 E10 of Only Murders in the Building (“Opening Night,” the finale!) and "Latin Night" on Dancing with the Stars. If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3680863/advertisement

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, the Ted Lasso crew goes on a somewhat trippy trip to Amsterdam. The players vow to stick together as a team, but everyone else is isolated in their own storyline. We'd like some ensemble back in this ensemble show, please! Next (in two weeks): Season 3, episodes 7 and 8. Mentioned: The "Beard After Dark" episode from season 2; reviews/commentary from Linda Holmes and the Fug Girls; the immersive Van Gogh exhibit.On Brothers and Sisters, Justin is home from Iraq and trying to recuperate from a serious injury with his mother hovering, while Sarah and Joe split for good. The best thing about this episode is the appearance of Denis O'Hare as the senator's campaign manager. Next (in two weeks, as Terri will be recovering from surgery next week--sadly without a Nora to take care of her): season 2, episode 3, "History Repeating."

Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, also known as The Fug Girls, have been blogging since 2004, and, like me, have seen a lot of changes in the business world online. We talk about how it seems like there's yet another media contraction happening, and how that affects us, and about their new Substack, Drinks with Broads.But of course, we also talk about fashion, stylists, and current trends, too. If you're still looking at pictures from the Oscars, this episode will be a treat....Music: purple-planet.com Join our Patreon for complete mayhem, shenanigans, and more! Hosted on Acast.

On this week's Roundabout Roundup, Catherine's snacking on flavorful, virtuous crackers from 2s Company, while Nicole's laughing with the ladies of the I've Had It podcast and Terri's enjoying Substack newsletters from Alan Sepinwall and the Fug Girls (also mentioned: R. Eric Thomas's newsletter, which is non-Substack, but still very fun).​Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

We like to try and do something special around the holidays.In 2019, we counted down our Top 5 most-played episodes of the year. But we thought we’d try something a little different for 2020.If you’re a regular listener of the show, you’ve probably figured out we like to read. A lot. So this time, we’re revisiting five of our favorite interviews we’ve done with authors in the three-and-a-half seasons of making this podcast. We call it “Happy Author Days.”This one is our conversation with Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, aka The Fug Girls, titled “On Royal Novels and Writing Partners” and first published September 24th, 2020.We hope you enjoy it and have the chance to make time for some great reading this holiday season.LINKSHeather and Jessica’s Two Royal Novels: The Royal We and The Heir AffairOriginal Episode Transcript

When you're lucky enough to have The Fug Girls on your show, it only makes sense that you quiz your players on iconic movie fashions. So that's exactly what we did on this week's episode when GoFugYourself.com's Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan joined Ralph Breaks the Internet co-writer Pamela Ribon. After the fashion show, they'll pick out their favorite stars from teen movies from the last 30 years, and parse them out from what characters played by those actors have been up to in the intervening years.

Before the pandemic, we were the show that invited scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for informal conversations about their work, and we look forward to being that show again one day. But for now, we’re recording remotely to maintain physical distancing.It’s still a pretty fantastic job.Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan are the authors of four novels, most recently The Heir Affair, which was published this summer by Grand Central and is the sequel to their bestseller, The Royal We. Much like the two of them, the books are witty and hilarious, following the lives of a fictitious, modern-day British royal family from the perspective of a young American woman who falls in love with the heir to the throne while both are studying at Oxford.And it’s fitting that Heather—a 1999 Notre Dame grad, by the way—and Jessica should write about royals because they are something akin to internet royalty themselves. They are the creators of Go Fug Yourself, the iconic website that bears witness to “fantastically ugly” celebrity fashion. Their work has also appeared in publications ranging from New York magazine to Vanity Fair, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, W magazine, and Glamour.Heather and Jessica talked to host Ted Fox about their new book and how they work together as a writing team as well as what makes for successful characters and the challenges of writing a sequel. The three made some time at the end to discuss the do’s and don’ts of covering celebrity fashion, too.As for where they started, Ted had the opportunity to see just how well Heather and Jessica know each other’s writing.LINKSHeather and Jessica’s two royal novels: The Royal We and The Heir AffairHeather and Jessica’s website: gofugyourself.comEpisode Transcript

Elissa is joined by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, the brilliant writers behind the website, and the novels "The Royal We" and "The Heir Affair". Both are ideal for all Royal followers. In this episode of The Royal Fascinator podcast we talk about their gateways to following the royals, their incredible website, and writing process. 

Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan have been writing together since they founded their witty celebrity fashion blog, Go Fug Yourself, back in 2004 as a way to procrastinate from their day jobs. Today, not only are the “Fug Girls” pioneers in the space, but they’ve also received rave reviews as novelists with the best-selling The Royal We—loosely based on the courtship of Prince WIlliam and Kate Middleton—and the highly anticipated sequel, The Heir Affair, which just hit bookshelves on July 7. But before they were writing novels, the ladies were working as TV series recappers, writing about shows such as Judging Amy and Making the Band, before parlaying that experience into working in the world of reality TV. Hear how the pair pivoted from digital to print and ultimately found their stride in balancing the two on today’s episode of Second Life.

This week: Constance Wu's outburst after 'Fresh Off The Boat' was renewed last week, and her iNotes written 'apology', wound up doubling down on what people took issue with in the first place -- but is this a mistake she can recover from? And if not, is there a double standard about why not? Also, Charlize Theron is a celebrated Oscar-winning actress, but what happens when a role demands you do something you have no idea how to? Then we talk with Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, otherwise known as GO FUG YOURSELF!! We talk about their philosophies, their work -- and what happens when a certain celebrity's comment blows up your work day beyond recognition...Catch us weekly on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pandora, or wherever you get your podcasts, hit us up on twitter at @laineygossip and @duanaelise, and as always visit LaineyGossip.com for more pop culture insight and analysis.

Royals: Minutes 2.5 to 11 In this episode of Gossip with Celebitchy, we talk about Duchess Meghan’s impending birth, which hasn’t happened yet as of this morning, 4/29. I mention that Meghan may have had the baby already and not announced it but Chandra said that couldn’t happen or royal reporters would throw a fit! We mention the crazy story that Harry and Meghan would move overseas, which originated in the reputable Sunday Times of London. Sources told The Sunday Times it was William’s idea as Harry and Meghan were getting too much attention. Follow-up stories next claimed it was Harry’s idea! Then Vanity Fair told the Sussex’s side that they were staying in the UK and were not consulting with any family member except The Queen and Prince Charles. We wonder about this notion that William is preparing to king when his father is next in line.  Olivia Munn: Minutes 11 to 18 Olivia Munn posted a bizarre rant against Heather and Jessica of The Fug Girls, using their photos, names, and mischaracterizing their lighthearted fashion commentary. We talk about her hypocrisy and make a decision about our future coverage of her. Game of Thrones spoiler free: Minutes 18 to 20.5 We cover the excitement over Game of Thrones. Chandra says that the fan theories are getting out of control. She explains the way that White Walkers are made as I was unclear about this. Celebrity splits: Minutes 20.5 to 25.5 We discuss three recent celebrity splits: Adele and Simon Konecki, Anna Camp and Skylar Astin and Michelle Williams and the guy we barely heard about, Phil Elverum. Chandra loves Fossey Verdon and mentions that Michelle has crazy chemistry with Sam Rockwell. User questions including blind items: Minutes 25.5 to 31.5 Pamela and Caity asked us on Twitter about whether we get sent tips, particularly by publicists. We talk about a tip we got in 2010 from a woman who claims her friend slept with John Mayer! I read an excerpt from that email at minute 27. Chandra loves promo emails from designers and jewelry companies. Chandra spoke to a 90s icon several years ago from whom she got some blind items about another celebrity that person hates. Comments of the week: Minutes 31.5 to end My comment of the week was from BchyYogi about Jennifer Garner’s shoes. Chandra’s comment of the week was a matter-of-fact one about white privilege from ByTheSea on a Lori Loughlin post. We talk about white privilege and how trolls call us racist against white people. That’s not a thing!

Kaitlin and Lisa are experiencing withdrawal from the royal tour down under, so they asked the Fug Girls, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, to stop by to chat about Meghan Markle's fashion choices over those 70+ engagements. What did they love? What did they hate? Who's getting fired for that tag moment? The ladies also predict Markle's maternity style and analyze Kate Middleton's recent recycles. Plus, happy birthday, Prince Charles! Listen to this episode for all that and more.

Madame Etiquette is back! Judy and Teresa are full of conjecture about episodes 3-4 of “100 Days My Prince” (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun. We are not neurologists or psychologists, but is it possible for an amnesiac to recognize the source of fancy fabrics at a glance and yet not remember the basic workings of commerce? We need Wondeuk/Crown Prince (Do KyungSoo) to become more likable immediately. Why does Hongshim (Nam JiHyun) get so emotional when she's telling Wondeuk/Crown Prince about their courtship, which she completely made up? This drama is doing that wonky gravity thing, like in "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?", where people fall on top of each other in ways that make no physical sense. Digressions: 0:33 - Judy's new self-care routine 3:08 - Judy has finally finished "Lawless Lawyer" 4:19 - Teresa has given up on "The Client List" (the Lifetime drama starring Jennifer Love Hewitt). If you want to read a super funny synopsis of the Lifetime original movie, here is the Fug Girls link! 5:53 - Listener E-mails!   Some Korean terms: 기생: [gi-seng] Korean term for "geisha"; female entertainer. 푼: [poon] smallest unit of Joseon money; 100 poon = 1 nyang. Of note, Hongshim says that the 30 nyang that Wondeuk took from the loan shark is enough to buy a house.   Audio credits: "Arrested Development" Season 1, Episode 5 - "Charity Drive"   Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

On this episode of Royally Obsessed, Kaitlin and Lisa are joined by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, aka the Fug Girls, aka the writers behind the amazing fashion site Go Fug Yourself. Together, the ladies discuss whether Meghan Markle's style has gotten too conservative since her wedding, what it was like to be in Windsor that day, and their bestselling book, The Royal We.

In our first-ever EHG without David T. Cole, Tara and Sarah recruited Fug Girls Heather and Jessica to help them dissect the Dynasty reboot. Do the kids today care about these iconic characters? Should the show have gone to a streaming or premium-cable network? And should any show be trying to make big business interesting? We went Around The Dial with Law & Order: SVU, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team, Undercover High, and Grey's Anatomy before settling in for the snark of an MST3K Canon submission. We declared a winner and a loser...and everybody and nobody won in a non-regulation Game Time that forced the panel to make some tough choices. Before you bite the head off a cake-topper, take a listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great. GUESTS

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast, featuring NYC, DC, LA, and London:00:40 Master of None: This week's episode, "New York I Love You," takes a masterful spin through a few of NYC's 8 million stories. Mentioned: Making the Sausage podcast's episode on voice acting.07:33 The West Wing: "Night Five" gives us the great Adam Arkin (as psychiatrist Stanley Keyworth) and the often problematic Rob Lowe (as foot-in-mouthed Sam Seaborn). Mentioned: the West Wing Weekly podcast. 15:35 Battle of the Network Stars: We're not going to make a regular habit of this show, but Joshua Malina and friends showed us that the "athletes" who appear make a big difference in watchability.21:30 Challenge Round: The Royal We: Catherine challenged Terri to read this smart romance by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan (aka the Fug Girls). It's a great read, although Terri would have preferred the abridged version.For next time, Terri challenged Catherine to watch the Cameron Crowe movie Elizabethtown. Plus we'll continue with Master of None's "Door 3" and The West Wing's "Hartsfield's Landing."For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

This week, I got to sit down with Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, the writers behind Go Fug Yourself and one of my favorite books The Royal We, for Raise Your Hand Say Yes.  In this episode, we go behind the scenes of what it's really like to run a super glam celebrity fashion website and write an amazing novel. (Hint: there's a lot of hard work involved. And diet cokes! And compression socks!) (Hint #2: Laughter helps a lot.)  You'll hear how Heather and Jessica have evolved their voices on Go Fug Yourself through the years, how they got The Royal We written collaboratively, what they learned from the earlier books they wrote, and their tips for anyone who's feeling shy about putting their work out into the world.  And, of course, we talk about Hamilton. Heather and Jessica, thank you so much for making the time to share your stories!!    Show Notes: Go Fug Yourself The Royal We Spoiled Messy  The Fug Awards  BrandCrush Join the RYHSY fb group & Get your Cheat Sheet

One half of the Fug Girls, Jessica Morgan, returns to the guest chair as we consider Project Runway and whether it's showing its age. We also talked about Utopia's not-that-crazy ideas, Rectify's Emmy chances in 2015, corporate fan-fic, and televised LARPing before assessing a five-makeover Clone High ep for the canon. Could the gang guess which portmanteaux names went with which couples in Game Time? Will Nicollette Sheridan have her day in court? Find out on a one-day-challenge episode of Extra Hot Great. ...STAMOS! GUESTS
