The beauty is there, but a beast is in the heart.

It's like eating bread sandwiched in more bread. There is a movement in our casa to decrease meat consumption and I'd say it's going decently well. Also, being the music master that I am, minions have approached me asking, "Dear talented music master of good taste and beauty, what pairs well with tasteless 'sausage' and 'beef' patties?" So here you go, lowly subordinates, take a listen. Quickly—before I take the whole lot of you and thrash you with this hand! And then bash you with this hand! And then take both hands and give you a massage to loosen you up! Don't get it? Well then, A) you're so uncool, 2) watch below, and PICKLES) is the name of a tiny chihuahua in the building across from us. She's very cute.
So, to tell you the truth, no one messaged me with said song pairing requests, but I have been receiving fan mail that's borderline flattering/stalker-esque, mostly about my gorgeous legs from a previous cycling photo. No, another lie, no fan mail. But the dogre says I'm purdy! Okay, so here are songs for you, dogre. In my journey to one day become a vegetarian, I also discovered that there is a sistah inside of me who occasionally comes out to play. Whenever something bluesy/soulsy/fill-in-the-blank plays, she takes over my mind and body and deceives me into thinking I've got rhythm. And for those few minutes, my eyes get all droopy and I groove to the music, all slinky and sexy. And then, I catch my reflection in a mirror and shrivel back up into the gangly dogress that I am. But in case you've got actual rhythm and soul (pfft—doubtful), I've added Divine Brown's song below.

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Heaven Can Wait (featuring Beck)
The Bird and The Bee - Maneater
Pete Yorn - I Don't Know What To Do (featuring Scarlett Johansson)
Camera Obscura - Honey In The Sun
Divine Brown - Lay It On The Line

Them possible schemes.

Lately, we've been dreaming of road trips in our very own jeep wrangler. The dogre has been searching and looking and thinking and tinkling (what?) and it's up at the top of our list. Of course, he mentioned the cons: bumpy ride, poor fuel efficiency, cramped rear seat space...{photo by carlos diaz}

Super fun music video below.
Love the music, love her voice! I want it. Tradesies?

Watch me unfold.

Had a serious (and rare) cupcake craving so we skipped over to Dessert Lady in Yorkville. Got myself the very last red velvet cupcake (topped with cream cheese icing, of course), I did! Also, finally located the video that made me fall in love with Joe Purdy's song, Secret. What a lovely reception venue...Envy pouring out of my eyes and heart.
