News Potpourri: Music Recs, Busom Buddies Celebrate, A Red Carpet Interview, & New Poetry

Music Recs

I purchased two albums off iTunes this week, as per Joy's recent recommendations on Twitter.

• Kimbra's VOWS

• Gotye's MAKING MIRRORS

And boy, was I pleasantly surprised at how incredibly addicting they both are! Kimbra in particular, who you may recognize from Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” is bloody brilliant!  Vows is a flawless album - and I can't help but listen to this one a million times over.

  New Poetry 

TIMES SQUARE 

May 29th, 2012

Alone again and by candlelight

I sit. I cannot sleep.

I write.

My mind is Times Square, my body-- the Moors.

O Heathcliff

O Jesus

O David Sedaris for all I care

Won't you, one or all, give me an evening's respite

from my torturous affairs!?

Gee, it's nice to have a distraction

and though I am aware

that midnight conversations

are neither here nor there,

the only thing I want to do

is be where I oughtn't...

where i really oughtn't dare.

Fashion Spotlight: Bethany Joy Lenz is Romantic Gothic on “Middle of Nowhere” Red Carpet

from the Fall 2011 Of Two Minds Fashion Show

On the Wednesday, June 20th premiere of Sharon Lawrence's indie film, “Middle of Nowhere” - a very sexy Bethany Joy Lenz stepped out looking more beautiful than we’ve ever seen!

Our elegantly edgy babe wore a black Of Two Minds cap-sleeve minidress featuring a plunging V-neckline and sheer lace panels that accentuate her waistline and expose a modest amount of skin. This gothic dress is a little darker than one would expect on a hot summer day but the relaxed fit and flirty lace really flatters her extra-petite frame and leaves it perfectly poised for the hot L.A. weather!

Bethany Joy Lenz's Ombre Hair

Although I’m not a fan of the full skirt with a handkerchief hemline (it reminds me of Morticia from The Adams Family - I'm sorry, but it does!) -the cut of the hem does manage to keep up with the rhythm of our vibrant and feminine, free-spirit as she struts down the red carpet.

Joy complements this desirable dark style with gold earrings and bracelets from Robindira Unsworth, nude heels from Stuart Weitzman and a black clutch from Feragamo.

To finish the look off our starry-eyed diva showcases her seductive tousled waves and her ombre look. I adore, adore, adore how her dark roots fade into a sun-kissed honey hue at the end and how her longer hair exudes youth!

Ms. Joy Lenz you are a rare breed – the exception to the rule – you really do seem to get younger and more radiant with each day.

The Verdict: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Bracelets from Robindira Unsworth & black clutch from Feragamo

Nude heels from Stuart Weitzman

(One thing – I would love to see Joy in more diverse colors, and patterns. She’s been doing a lot of black lately – I need more pop like her fuchsia strapless maxi dress from earlier this year.)
