So how awesome was last Sunday's The New York Times Style Magazine?! I especially LOVED the spread with Taylor Swift. The cover was totally amazing, bright colors and great makeup on that face! Her look reminded me a bit of Alice in Wonderland. I'm always looking new ways to do my eye shadow and I think I just found my next inspiration. The styling was superb- the bold colors, sparkle and amazing SHOES! I died and went to heaven!
A glimpse into my Thanksgiving dinner contribution. Got this amazing Lemon Barley Stuffing with Shiitakes, Hazelnuts and Chive Butter recipe from the New York Times. It was my first time making stuffing and using/eating chives. The end result was delicious, very hearty and the Hazelnuts gave it a delightful crunch! My grocery store did not sell Shiitake Mushrooms so I substituted them with Portabella and Baby Bella Mushrooms.
I would like to cook this again, if only it did not take more than one hour to make. Maybe if I had a sous chef to shell the nuts and chop the vegetables it wouldn't be so bad.
Here are some photos and footage from the luscious man Mos Def. The show was back in late October at the Voodoo Lounge in San Jose. I was lucky enough to be right up front. I drooled pretty much during his whole set for obvious reasons. Damn he's fine!
Here are the goods, as promised. The show was amazing, one of the best I've attended. The ganja was in the air, the music was loud and the fans were feeling the man. He performed the classics and a few from his upcoming album Malice in Wonderland, which btw will be out 3 days before my birthday on December 8th!
One of the most memorable parts was the introduction, check it out......
Glad he opened the show with my favorite song "Next Episode!"
But the most memorable moment was when Snoop brought out this posse to rock with him onstage: Too Short, Mr. Fab, Dj Quik, Rapper 4 Tay, Suga T of the Clique, and Lady Rage. I shit my pants because on the way to the show I said to my love, "Do you think Snoop will have guests with him?" and he said "Maybe Mr. Fab," and I responded and I kid you not, "I'll give you $20 if Too Short comes out as well." Luckily I did not have to give him the doug because he guessed Mr. Fab so we were both right, but damn was I surprised!
Here they are all onstage. My third favorite part was the pimp that was with them, check him out on the left. He was wearing a long fur coat with a matching fur hat. No pimp cane though...
And here's one more, for the kids :)
