Stop what you’re doing. Go download the song No One’s Gonna Love You by Band of Horses. No, it’s on their latest cd Starbucks is currently upselling. No, I did NOT discover it on the soundtrack companion to a teen drama about vampires.
Loyal readers of the blog (Hi, Kristen! I’m sooooo looking forward to your visit. Where should we go? I want to try Churchkeys. What are you going to wear?¬† What am I going to wear? Oh, sorry non-Kristen readers. I’ll stop addressing her in this parenthesis.)….where was I? Oh, yes! Loyal readers will notice that I’ve been lagging on my monthly playlist. Sorry about that. Teensy bit busy these days. So, I’ll make it up by providing the song you’re going to dance your first wedding dance to. Seriously, it’s so perfect. PERFECT!¬† It has been my musical crack first thing in the morning and last thing before bed for the last 4 months or year…I forget.
Scratch first dance of the list.
You’re welcome.
In other musical news, I saw Phoenix when they performed at DAR Constitution Hall, here in D.C. last month. AWE-SOME. The cobalt concert tee is in heavy rotation.  The tee shirt did, however, confuse a slightly crazy guy on the street who mistook the word Phoenix as some political statement on my part. I was incoherently berated for one of the following offenses:
supporting Arizona’s Immigration policy
opposing Arizona’s Immigration policy
I’m not sure which I was supposed to have done.¬† I said, “This is a concert tee shirt of a band. They’re French.” He said, “Oh,” and walked away. I think he was disappointed. French pop transcends politics, dude. Seriously.

Kristen a.k.a. The Future Mrs. Darcy - I am wearing a sundress or short-shorts with a cute top and I have no idea what Churchkeys is but it sounds like something I’d like and I was also thinking 18th St Lounge for a Sat. outing providing you’ve still never been. And darling readers, be assured that during these outings I will be constantly pressuring our Fearless Photographer Leader into sending me some photos so I can create her portfolio on the site! xoxox, TFMD
Kristen a.k.a. The Future Mrs. Darcy - Also readers, note that I am not the previously photographed Kristen. I’m the Evil One, though I’m sure the “short-shorts” tipped you off.
Brandy - For those playing along at home –
As for the images for the portfolio section of this site: I’m right on top of that, Rose!
As for the short shorts: Let it be known, dear readers, that I have inherited a pair of cast off short-shorts from the very tall & Evil Kristen. I assure you they are quite short.
As for the assignment of the nicknames Good Kristen & Evil Kristen:
With two tall, brunette friends from Boston named Kristen it became a challenge keeping track of who belonged to which anecdotes. My husband assigned Good versus Evil, for reasons which should be obvious now.
