Wedding bells? Not so fast. A girl usually fantasizes about what she will wear on her wedding day. I didn't... well not until I saw this. But let's lose the flowers on the skirt and those shoes got to go.
I've been completely holed up at home for the past two days. Rain always seems to damper plans to leave the house. Instead of being out and about, I have been catching up on NY Fashion Week via Style.com, drinking copious amounts of vanilla caramel truffle tea, reading, and watching ridiculous amounts of TV.
Speaking of TV, there was a No Reservations marathon on today. My adoration of Anthony Bourdain began in college when I used to watch his show with my roommate and has continued on to this day.
Today I watched the Shanghai, Venice, and Chicago episodes, and the newest episode shot in the Philippines.
Delicious.
P.S. I cannot believe I missed the Food Porn episode last week! :(
A while ago we mentioned that Zach Condon headed to Oaxaca, Mexico — the weaver village of Teotitlan del Valle to be exact — and hooked up with the 19-piece Jimenez Band band, who helped him get the sounds he needed for his March Of The Zapotec EP. Condon plans to release some short films documenting the experience, but in the Owen Cook-animated video for standout “La Llorna” he stayed home and wrote a narrative about a little dog, a mourner, the band, a Mexican graveyard, and a puddle of tears (or, well, rain). It helps to know that “La Llorona”’s “the weeping woman” in Spanish and relates to a legend about a woman who killed her children then herself after she was rejected by a man. She spends her time as a weeping ghost, wandering in search of the kids.
“La Llorona” will be the first single from Beirut’s new EP March Of The Zapotec. March Of The Zapotec will be packaged together with another EP, Holland, which includes five solo Condon home recordings under his "Realpeople" moniker. March Of The Zapotec/Holland is out 2/17
I found this a bit amusing...still waiting for my perfect Missed Connection. Haha.
Note: Of the last hundred or last two weeks of Craigslist Missed Connections posts per state mentioning a specific location at which the connection was missed.
