In which Emily recommends that you take gorgeous costumes, stunning music videos, and happy podcasts as inspiration on this surprisingly chilly day.
So, change of plans. I totally announced last post that I was starting a series of posts about title sequences. But really, I should have known better than to announce future plans for TTLP’s oh-so-spontaneous content-production. This Monday I find myself still overly excited about the Outlander costumes I praised last time, and really very much in the mood to curate bubbly and bad-ass awesome things to improve a brisk spring afternoon. This week, then, in the name of happy-making pop culture, silly links, and powering through the busyness of the last month of the semester, I present: A Vision Board for a Chilly April Afternoon.
Outlander Costumes
Holy Madame de Pompadour, the costumes on Outlander are STUNNING, whether you love knitwear, kilts, and wool
or whether you’re fascinated by the gorgeous fashions of pre-Revolutionary France on display in all the publicity stills for the nascent second season.
John Oliver Sending Ninja Turtles to Yankees Games
While we’re talking about people wearing fantastic things at famous locales…
Dude Watchin’ With the Brontes
Because Kate Beaton is glorious and Anne Bronte is tragically underappreciated.
Pop Culture Happy Hour: The Romance Novel Special
I’m completely in love with this hour of smart ladies amusing themselves, talking romance novels, and taking a very silly quiz.
Another Round: Our First Year
In which awesome ladies Heben and Tracy reflect on a year of podcasting, giggle lots, and discuss the evils of mongooses — mongeese?
“Atomic Number,” case/lang/veirs
After laughing along with the PCHH and Another Round ladies, perhaps it’s time for moody acoustic-y music from the new collaboration between Neko Case, k.d. Lang, and Laura Veirs.
Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period
Or if you’re really digging the bubbly-ness of silly but sincere podcasts, I highly recommend Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period. Honestly, I just found this podcast (thanks NPR One!) and haven’t listened to much of it yet. But that title’s just the most charming thing ever.
Beyonce’s Formation Video
You know you’ve watched this a few dozen times already. But is it possible to watch it too many times?
Enjoy your afternoon!
