Don't tell anyone but I'm a sucker for a great love story...

Most people refer to the Vows section of The New York Times as the women's sports pages. I've never been one of those girls who spent her whole life dreaming about her wedding, or even considered submitting my info to this section, but I do love reading the more narrative based coverage they offer like Vows - Michelle Arrington and Michael Myers - NYTimes.com, rather than the broad facts.

Hot Meat in my mouth

The Times had a delicious article and slideshow about the latest internet/cooking sensation called the Bacon Explosion! I can't wait to try this, but certainly can't/won't consume it alone. Anyone interested in taking this feat on with me?

winter leggings

The New York Times had a fantastic slideshow and article on Winter's latest trend lace leggings, a while back that I've been meaning to mention for a while. As well as feature some incredibly cool leggings that popped up on runways for Spring 09 shows like Gareth Pugh & Rodarte.

more millinery madness

As you may know my love of millinery knows no bounds so I thought I'd share the a slideshow The New York Times posted entitled Crowning Achievements about milliners in the City and Time Out New York had a great feature on milliners a few weeks back posted below.

Fashion meets (somewhat irrelevant but utterly beautiful) Function

Chanel has opened a "Tempoary Art Container" in Central Park til November 9th. The New York Times has a great slideshow of the project and a really interesting article about the concept of the space itself, which was designed by the brilliant and amazing Zaha Hadid, whose ideas are literally out of this world. sadly i won't be able to make it to the City before the exhibition closes but there's plenty of info, photos and videos available online, and the exhibit will be making stops in London, Moscow and Paris over the next 13 months, so maybe i'll catch the last one.

an unbelievably gratuitous Matthew Goode post

"Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Ma-tthew Goode: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three on the teeth. Ma. Tthew Goode."

ok that was blatantly and completely the opening prose of Vladamir Nabakov's Lolita, but this guy just makes me want to say brilliant things. you can read his filmography here, but i'll just let you know he's pretty talented, pretty damn handsome and the fact that he's going to be in "The Watchmen" and the star of "The Brideshead Revisited" is proof enough of his ability to make a serious artistic contribution on some incredibly major motion pictures. the shots above are from a New York Times Magazine photo shoot, while the photos below are from the ad campaign for Hackett menswear.

there are a thousand other things i could say about Matthew Goode, but for now i'll just say watch "The Lookout" to actually see him do some acting, or you can admire his beauty as Scarlett Johansson's fiance in "Match Point." either which way we're all going to be seeing a lot of this guy (i hope) once[/if] "Watchmen" is released on March 6th, 2009.
