Corrections: May 17, 2025
An article on Thursday about the novelist Françoise Sagan misidentified the poet from whom Ms. Sagan took the title of her debut novel, 'Bonjour tristesse.' It is the second line of a poem by Paul Éluard, not Paul Valéry.
An article this weekend on Page 22 about the actress Meghann Fahy misidentified the name of the fruit bouquet featured in the Netflix series 'Sirens.' It is the Delicious Party, not the Party Dipped Fruit Delight.
An article this weekend on Page 86 about Coco Chanel's holiday home on the French Riviera misattributes the quote, 'You dress or not as you choose for dinner.' The line was written by the Vogue correspondent Bettina Wilson about Chanel's dinner parties at La Pausa; it was not said by Chanel.
An article this weekend on Page 94 about the trio of artists known as PaJaMa refers incorrectly to the book 'Paul Cadmus: 49 Drawings.' It is a portfolio of drawings by Cadmus, not the catalog of an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth last year.
Because of an editing error, an obituary on Friday about the actor Joe Don Baker misstated the year the movie 'Junior Bonner' was released. As noted correctly in a picture caption, it was 1972, not 1971.
Errors are corrected during the press run whenever possible, so some errors noted here may not have appeared in all editions.

'You Deserve Each Other': All About the Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy-Led Romantic Comedy (Which Is Based on a Best-Selling Novel!)
Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy will star in the film adaptation of Sarah Hogle's novel You Deserve Each Other The movie will follow an engaged couple who secretly despise each another Badgley and Fahy staged a fight online to promote the filmPenn Badgley and Meghann Fahy are teaming up for a new rom-com. On June 30, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the actors will star in You Deserve Each Other, a film adaptation of Sarah Hogle's 2020 novel of the same name. The romantic comedy will follow Naomi (Fahy) and Nick (Badgley), an engaged couple who secretly can't stand each other and engage in hilarious pranks to get the other to call off the wedding — only to rediscover their love along the way. "I love [Naomi and Nick] because they are both so soft on the inside, even though they've been keeping their guards up, and as the book progresses, they each learn that the person they've been shutting out is the person who is actually their perfect match," Hogle told eleven thirteen pm in April 2020. On the day of the casting announcement, Fahy and Badgley made headlines when they engaged in a faux online feud to promote the film. From the release date to the plot, here's everything to know about Badgley and Fahy's romantic comedy, You Deserve Each Other. You Deserve Each Other will follow the plot of Hogle's novel of the same name. Naomi and Nick are a seemingly perfect engaged couple who have grown to secretly resent each other. Naomi, tired of pretending everything is fine, realizes she's stuck in the relationship unless Nick calls off the wedding (otherwise, she'd be on the hook for the nonrefundable expenses). But Nick seems equally fed up, and the pair enter into a battle of pranks and sabotage to make the other pull the plug. However, as their feud escalates, Naomi and Nick begin to remember why they fell in love in the first place. You Deserve Each Other explores how love can sometimes be rediscovered right where you left it. Hogle's novel was a two-time Goodreads Choice Awards nominee and an Amazon Editors' Pick for best romance. Badgley and Fahy will headline You Deserve Each Other as Nick and Naomi. At this time, no other cast members have been announced. Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn — a.k.a. the writers behind Never Been Kissed and He's Just Not That Into You — are set to direct the film. The duo met in film school, they told BUILD in 2018, and have been tag-teaming projects since 1997. The script was initially written by Brett Haley and Marc Basch, but was ultimately revised by Silverstein and Kohn. I Feel Pretty — which premiered in 2018 and starred Amy Schumer — marked Silverstein and Kohn's directorial debut. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Penn Badgley (@pennbadgley) On the same day as the casting announcement, Badgley and Fahy engaged in some friendly banter on Instagram to promote the upcoming film — which seems like something their characters, Nick and Naomi, might do. 'Okay, so, I don't usually do this, but my wife and I just finished Sirens. Want to give her her flowers," Badgley said in a video. "Now obviously there's Julianne [Moore], there's Kevin [Bacon], there's Milly [Alcock], but this Meghann Fahy? This newcomer? This, like, refreshing, gawky beauty? Love it. Love you.' In the comments, Fahy wrote, 'Penn! This is so kind. Thank you. Tell Domino [Kirke] I say hi. And that her taste is flawless.' The exchange quickly devolved, with Fahy taking issue with Badgley's "gawky" comment and telling him to "chill on the body stuff." 'Whoa I've obviously been very supportive and complimentary but this feels like a trap,' Badgley replied. Fahy shot back, 'There you go again with that trapping thing. Heard you did a lot of that on your show. I never watched it.' After Badgley noted that You "succeeded without your support,' Fahy wrote, 'And without your range.' The replies ended with Badgley writing, 'One Emmy loss and suddenly you're Meryl Streep.' A release date for You Deserve Each Other has not been announced. Read the original article on People

Joburg meets Lagos in an AfroExchange cultural takeover
The summit brought together creatives from Nigeria and SA to celebrate creativity and cultural exchange. Industry leaders such as Amahle Jaxa, Omashola Oburoh and Ayanda Mhlongo participated in panel discussions. A concert featuring Afrobeats artists BNXN and DJ Maphorisa showcased the growing influence of African music and culture. @citypressza Johnnie Walker brought South Africa and Nigeria together for a cool event called AfroExchange. The two countries united through music, art, food and fashion at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Midrand. #afroexchange #djmaphorisa #southafrica #nigeria ♬ original sound - City Press We may beef on social media and have other issues with each other, but SA and Nigeria will always have the sibling love/hate relationship. This was proven by the launch of the AfroExchange Creative Summit last month held in Rosebank and the AfroExchange event that took place at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit recently Supplied AfroExchange was introduced to celebrate Africa's creative spirit through creating a vibrant platform designed to explore, champion and connect African creativity. As Africa's influential countries, Nigeria and SA are brought together by art, fashion, food and music. The intimate summit, hosted by musician and businessperson Siya 'Slikour' Metane, had a panel discussion led by content creator and businesswoman Amahle Jaxa. Omashola Oburoh, Ayanda 'Aya' Mhlongo and Austin Malema were also part of the dialogue Mhlongo said that she worked for a global brand for a few years and added that the only way Africans could own their stories on the global stage was by participating on the global stage. We can't expect someone sitting in an office in Sweden to tell an authentic African story compared to what an Aya would do. Ayanda Mhlongo 'We should start focusing on the global stage because not only are we better, but we are also honest. African art transcends anything across the globe because what we do is honest and relatable everywhere,' she said. Business owner, model and musician Oburoh said when he was growing up in Nigeria, people did not want to listen to Nigerian music, but preferred American hip-hop. However, times have changed and American artists want to feature African musicians and creatives. 'Those are people we never thought in our lifetime would ever do Afrobeats music. When you talked about African music, no one cared, but now they are more into Afrobeats,' he said. Having lived in Lagos and Johannesburg, Oburoh said both cities had distinct vibes. He added that it made him happy to see people in SA clubs looking forward to hearing Afrobeats during a DJ set. The artists were part of the Johnnie Walker AfroExchange event at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit hosted by Nomuzi 'Moozlie' Mabena. Bringing electrifying energy on stage were artists such as Nigerian singer BNXN, Tito M and Yuppe, Shakes and Les, Professor, Dlala Thukzin, Banquesz and Veno, with DJ Maphorisa headlining the event. Also featured was SA and Nigerian food, bridging the gap between the two countries, arts and merchants such as Galxboy, Xavier Zulu, Dirty Natives and Saga while others enjoyed a fashion show, whisky tasting and pairing. Supplied Ifeoma Agu, the group head of culture, influencer and advocacy at Diageo South, West and Central Africa, said the two countries met on four expressive pillars that shaped culture and how the world sees us – food, music, art and fashion. As a brand deeply embedded in promoting African culture. Johnnie Walker is proud to walk alongside this generation of visionary creatives who are turning Afro creativity into global influence. AfroExchange is more than a platform; it is a celebration of cultural dialogue. Ifeoma Agu The date for the Lagos leg of the event is yet to be announce but Johnnie Walker's commitment to creativity will be amplified.

A Short Cultural History of the Tan Line
The tan line is back—and this time it isn't the aftermath of a too-long afternoon nap—it's intentional. Once dismissed, then desired, later condemned, now in demand, the visible contrast in skin tone caused by sun exposure has come full circle, tantalizing across TikTok's For You page, Instagram dumps, beauty campaigns, and more. Starting with Coco Chanel on the Riviera to Gen-Z's fascination with tattooed methods, tan lines have a rich cultural history that has been shaped by class dynamics and evolving beauty standards throughout time. But before we talk about 2025, where did the trend begin? During the early 20th century, the Industrial Revolution pushed working-class jobs into factories and warehouses with little exposure to sunlight, leaving pale skin as a byproduct of labor. In reaction, spending time outside became a luxury. Suddenly, a tan became a sign of privilege—creating the cultural pivot point in the 1920s that brought tan lines into fashion. 'Coco Chanel often gets credit, thanks to her famous Riviera sunburn,' says Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, a historian at Case Western Reserve University. 'But the shift had already begun with changing working conditions, Hollywood's move from New York to sunny California, and a growing appetite for aspirational outdoor lifestyles.' Their desirability, however, fluctuated in the years following. During times of strife like the Great Depression, WWII, and even until the 1950s, tan lines were airbrushed away or hidden, as beauty was meant to look effortless and not the focal point of life. 'You weren't supposed to show the process during these eras,' Rabinovitch-Fox explains. 'It was like seeing the man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.' Preliminary versions of faux tan even existed in the form of tea bags. As California cool took center stage in the '60s and '70s, the tan became synonymous with youth, freedom, and sex appeal. Think Slim Aarons' iconic poolside photography: outside, carefree, and tanned to perfection. 'In the 1960s and '70s, tan lines resulting from skimpy bikinis or crocheted bra tops were sexually suggestive,' says art and fashion historian Elizabeth L. Block. Advertising leaned into that allure, but not always appropriately. 'Unfortunately, the Coppertone baby ads from that time have had a lasting effect,' Block notes. The brand's logo, a cartoon dog tugging down the swimsuit bottom of a little girl to reveal her tan line, was widely accepted then, but reads as deeply unsettling in hindsight today. Still, the cultural obsession with bronzed skin persisted.
