Vered Back will rock your world, make you smell delicious, and give you the best skin the world. And while she’s at it, she might both save and ruin your life all at once.

Here in the colonies the country seems to be on fire, and nobody can stay off Twitter for more than 30 seconds at a time, lest we miss something important. But over in Merrie Olde England—which, Brexit and all, I increasingly find myself wishing we were still safely a part of—it seems the Windsor clan may be gearing up for some happy news: A surprise announcement from Westminster Abbey decrees that Prince Harry, should he be so inclined, would be permitted to marry his girlfriend, American actress Meghan Markle...

I’ll keep this short, since the below interview with Jeffrey Tambor is a six-minute piece of gold that will surely brighten your day. Tambor, 72, is an American gem.
