For the OC asks, if you are still doing this ^-^ 2,6,9,18 for both Honey and Carmen?

Questions about creating your OC.

𝓗𝓸𝓷𝓮𝔂'𝓼 𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮 🌼

2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?

A\ Hm, yes and no. I wanted to make a character that would go well with Prompto, personality wise, but she was an experiment of how any girl could approach him. Her overall appearance was a little to get by at first. I remember imagine her a little like Serah from FFXIII, even with the pink hair and all, but not the hair style. It wasn’t until after some trial and error and writing her for a while that a type started to emerge. Her light pink lightened to blonde and her eyes changed and more or less she was ready to go.

I think Orihime from Bleach was a great inspiration too.

She’s still the petite, ready to kick your butt if you bad mouth kind of girl 👩🏼‍🏭

6. Is there any significance behind their eye color?

A\ Naturae 🍃

I didn’t want a crazy color! I feel like to keep her earthy color scheme a nice shade of brown would match perfectly. There aren’t many characters that own and celebrate their natural chocolate eyes. I really like the aesthetic of blonde hair and brown eyes. It’s cozy.

9. Are they based off of you, in some way?

A\ I feel she didn’t have a lot from me on the beginning and yet as she grew on me, she took a few bits. The few first things that come forth in my mind is that Honey has some of my nurturing insticts, and my poor use of words that gets turned into innuendos 🤦🏼‍♀️

18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

A\ Not a pretty thing in my eyes but maybe she can be a little brat when she’s jealous. She needs to work on that, UGH! 🙇🏼‍♀️

. - . - . - . - . - . - . - .

𝓒𝓪𝓻𝓶𝓮𝓷'𝓼 𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮 💋

2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?

A\ I had an Ignis render very close while designing who was Gratia at the time. I wanted the office lady look that would match his vibe, yet the audacity and grace of a cat. After she was getting dangerously close to another female character I backpedaled and somehow it became Carmen.

I think I had Rem from Type 0 very present too, from the fluffy hair and style. Tifa too after watching Advent Children once more, getting the mothering/worried and kindness streaks too. Another inspiration was Marina from Gundam 00, I liked her strong will and desire to make a better world for her people. Take an active role instead of staying out of the game. It’s funny, but I think Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess is an inspiration too, since I was looking for a singing muse and her grace and the way she cherish her loved ones always struck me.

6. Is there any significance behind their eye color?

A\ I cheated a little. At the beggining she had purple eyes, yes. Then they became grey with only swirls of purple and somehow it went back to being purple because… Elizabeth Taylor had them and she’s gorgeous… No but for real, Carmen was supposed to be a little different, not that completely human after having a minor Astral in her lineage’s care so- purple to match the ethereal being this bearer of a beautiful woman.

9. Are they based off of you, in some way?

A\ Apparently she has more of me that I would like to believe. But it wasn’t a conscious decision. The snob look she has at first gives way to a more kindhearted, playful nature so that sounds familiar right? My way of being reserved and making my feelings a priority in some cases is in her too.

Carmen is living my ideal romantic life and I think she shows how protective and how much I’ll cherish the one. She is brains and heart, sometimes more heart than brains but it’s ok.

And she is a cookie/chocolate monster. I, as her mother, am very proud of my sugar eating child.

18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

A\ Maybe, just maybe, she could be one of those people that is terribly emotional upon hearing a live orchesta. You know, experimenting so hard the music and the feelings in every note that it just comes tumbling out in the shape of tears.

Floating Into the Night

@ 1989 US Pressing

****

Filmmaker David Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti's collaboration with Cruise first came about during the scoring for Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet, in which a key scene was intended to feature This Mortal Coil's version of "Song to the Siren" by Tim Buckley. With the rights to the song proving prohibitively expensive, it was suggested that Badalamenti compose a pop song in the same style and recruit a vocalist with a haunting, ethereal voice. Badalamenti recommended Cruise, who had sung in a New York theater workshop Badalamenti had produced. The result was the track "Mysteries of Love." Lynch and Badalamenti were impressed with the results, and elected to record subsequent tracks with Cruise.

Floating into the Night was produced and written by Badalamenti and Lynch; Badalamenti composed the music and Lynch wrote the lyrics. Cruise initially regarded herself as "a Broadway belter" and had a reputation for letting "angry and aggressive emotions power her work," but Lynch "felt that Cruise had a 'soft, sad side'" and encouraged her to sing in a softer tone and in a higher register; Cruise's vocal style on Floating into the Night has been often regarded as "ethereal" and drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Fraser on the earlier releases by the Cocteau Twins. Cruise's vocals on Floating into the Night feature heavy use of digital reverb. Early recording sessions were difficult until Cruise heard her vocals treated with effects, upon which she recognized that Badalamenti was creating "mood pieces," and also took to Lynch's lyrics. Nonetheless, she expressed concern about the album's sound, stating that:

I wasn't quite sure how the hell we were going to pull it off. One night I played some demos for my husband's friend and his wife, and she said, "white wine Muzak." Aaaahh! I took it home for Christmas — and everyone in my family hated it. They were like, "What are you singing about?" One of my lawyers at the time said, "This is a novelty." I said, "Like Tiny Tim?"

According to Lynch, 40 songs were written for the album in total, with the final track listing including 10 tracks. Badalamenti noted that "when [the album] came out, radio stations said they had no slots for it. Is it pop? Not really. Is it R&B? Certainly not. What is it? Even the more avant-garde stations found it unusual, so it was difficult getting airplay." Floating into the Night has been characterized as a dream pop album, with heavy elements of jazz and traditional jazz instrumentation; Rolling Stone considered Floating into the Night as a definitive development of the dream pop sound, describing how the album "added depth to [the genre]" and "gave the genre its synthy sheen", particularly on the track "Mysteries of Love".

And the last thing they want is to be called 'crazy' because that would be discouraging! As the lyric goes: ‘just call me by my name’... “This is a dreamy layered synth-pop track that doesn't mess about and is brimming with emotion. The delicate piano in the verses contrast well with the thick powerful choruses that soar with interweaving vocals and synth lines. The production is warm and full-bodied but never over-bearing. Listen below.

Elizabeth Karly

Switching effortlessly on stage between electric guitar, banjo and piano, she blends her honey-dipped vocals and her craft of songwriting with live performances filled with spontaneity, passion and pure heart. Her new single 'The Bushiest of Beards' is a fun revenge story, stemming from when a man with a beard bullied her for a prolonged period of her life, stripping her of all self esteem. It is a song for anyone who had been made to feel unworthy, and although the anti-bullying nature of the track is deadly serious though, the song uplifts with humour and joy. Listen below.

It’s almost a goal to myself to fully be able to relate to every lyric in this song... not quite there yet.” Listen below.

12 Things You Should Know About Moët & Chandon

Moët & Chandon is easily the biggest name in luxury Champagne. Rooted in 277 years of French winemaking and marketing ingenuity, the Champagne house is the largest in the world, producing close to 30 million bottles each year. It’s even a celebrity favorite (adored by one very important, very stoic royal). But however popular the brand and bubbly, there are probably a few things you don’t know. Here are 12 key facts about the famous Champagne house.

You’re probably saying it wrong.

Let’s get this out of the way first: It’s pronounced mo-wet, as if a baby is asking you to add more water, “Mo wet, pwease.” People who took French in high school are no doubt mildly devastated by this, considering we’ve all been correcting our friends with the “accurate” French pronunciation. But sorry, the T isn’t silent. The Moët family is originally from the Netherlands, having moved to France in the 1400s, all that time bravely holding onto their family name’s “T” pronunciation in a country notorious for dropping consonant sounds.

The Moët name is noble.

In 1445, King Charles VII of France made noblemen of brothers Jean and Nicolas Moët (who, ironically, would’ve probably liked to celebrate with some bubbly). The title carried on to 1743, when their descendent, the wine trader Claude Moët, founded Maison Moët in Épernay, his wine trading territory.

Chandon married into the business.

As a brand and a business, Moët & Chandon developed over generations: First there was Claude, then later his grandson Jean-Rémy Moët, who really helped create and globalize the Moët identity. When his son Victor Moët took over in 1832, he was joined by brother-in-law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles. The Chandon name later crossed the pond in 1973 when Moët & Chandon established themselves (the first French producer to do so) as Domaine Chandon in the Napa Valley.

Moët & Chandon is the powerhouse Champagne.

It’s the largest Champagne house in the world, producing close to 30 million bottles annually, including its signature Moët Impérial, Rosé Impérial, Ice Impérial (more below), Rosé Ice Impérial, and the Grand Vintage Champagnes, which vary from year to year. The signature style, found in the Moët Impérial, is both fruit-forward and elegant: fleshy soft fruit mingling with delicately nutty cereal notes, all tied together in heaven’s own bubble wrap, the Champagne “pearl” carbonation. (In case you’re wondering where they keep all that good stuff, there are more than 17 miles of underground wine cellars at the Moët estate in Épernay.)

It’s Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite.

The house of Moët & Chandon is part of the largest luxury conglomerate in the world (wrap your mind around the dollar bill signs in this acronym: LVMH, a.k.a. Louis Vuitton Moët-Hennessy, which formed in the 1980s). So maybe it’s only natural that Moët holds what’s called a “Royal Warrant” to supply Queen Elizabeth with Champagne (which makes you wonder why she isn’t smiling more often). The royal family loves it so much that Moët was actually the Champagne of choice at Charles and Diana’s 1981 wedding.

The house also makes Dom Perignon and Hennessy.

Moët & Chandon churns out luxury beverages. They’re the producers of Dom Perignon, officially launching the brand in 1921 as a luxury vintage Champagne. They also make Hennessy Cognac, which they began producing in the 1970s. Dom Perignon is only produced during good vintages and takes a decade-plus to age, which is why the most recent available vintage is the Dom Perignon 2009 (though you’ll have better luck getting the excellent 2008 vintage).

Napoleon was an early Moët groupie.

Speaking of “luxury identity,” none other than Napoleon Bonaparte was known to have celebrated his victories with his bubbly of choice, Moët & Chandon. Napoleon supposedly met Jean-Rémy Moët at school as a young man, and the relationship continued over the years, fueled by Napoleon’s habit of stocking up on bubbles before every major military campaign, reasoning that “[i]n victory one deserves it, in defeat one needs it.” Agreed.

It’s made with three grapes — and a hundred different wines.

Moët & Chandon’s classic Moët Impérial is made with the traditional trifecta of Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. But that’s not the whole story. Those grapes are gathered from hundreds of parcels (plots of land within a given vineyard) located in hundreds of villages within the limestone-rich Champagne region. So while the components are simple in name — three classic grapes — the assembly of Moët Champagne is a complex process, reflecting a mosaic of terroir.

After sourcing the grapes, it’s all about the blend.

Being asked to produce Moët Brut Impérial year after year is like being asked to make exactly the same (delicious, ethereal) cake, with the challenge of getting a pinch of flour from one neighbor, a stick of butter from another, assembling ingredients from sources across an entire region. That’s how Moët is created: not from one vineyard, like a boutique grower Champagne, but from a massive patchwork of vineyards within the Champagne region. The key is blending, whereby a team of producers with highly skilled palates recreates the signature Moët style. It’s an art not uncommon to creating Scotch whisky or Bordeaux red blends.

It’s the first Champagne ever to be sprayed after a big win.

Napoleon’s global conquests aside, that is. A Jeroboam of Moët & Chandon was handed to Dan Turney in 1967 after the underestimated driver won the 24-hour Le Mans race in his Ford GT40. It’s not clear whether it was divine inspiration (a whisper from Dom Perignon himself?) but Turney immediately proceeded to open the bottle and spray its contents on himself and the crowd, starting the now-timeless tradition. (And yes, because it’s the future, there’s actually footage of him doing it.)

Moët dares to pour Champagne over ice.

If you’re one of the people who like a couple of ice cubes in your white wine, feel shame no longer. (Or, if you’re one of those other people who glare at people who get ice cubes, step on back.) The biggest Champagne house in the world is doing it: In 2010, Moët created its Ice Impérial specifically for pouring over ice cubes, which both dilute the wine’s richer, slightly sweeter fruit elements and loosen its tight chain of bubbles.

Moët in the first line of ‘Killer Queen.’

Sure, Moët ’s mentioned in other songs (the Notorious B.I.G. was a big fan, just see what he’s sipping in the back of the club in “Big Poppa”). But Queen’s epic “Killer Queen” starts off with Freddie Mercury singing, “She keeps Moët & Chandon in her pretty cabinet.” If there’s a better pop-culture endorsement, we don’t know what it is.

The Beat Happening 4/18

The Beat Happening is a deep-cut-heavy radio show centered around the fringes of alternative, post-rock, dreampop, slowcore, shoegaze, and some others.

Here is this week’s playlist, along with what I would usually stumble through verbally expressed in the written word.

“Throughout the Borders”- Marching Church

The brief but stunning 2012 EP Throughout the Borders has grown on me slowly and steadily. My love for Marching Church began when I heard “Not Worthy,” the closing track from the same record; the soft-but-noisy guitar and drum tones blend seamlessly with Elias Ronnenfelt’s vocals, which step quickly from quiet but firm speaking to singing that mimics weird moaning. Since then, I’ve been a very loyal Marching Church and Iceage fan. But, about three weeks ago, my friend told me that she had had a religious experience to this Marching Church song, so I decided to give it a better listen-through. I’ve listened to “Throughout the Borders” every day since. It has slowly climbed up to be one of my favorite songs at the moment.

“Sick Child”- Siouxsie and the Banshees

From their 11th and final studio album Rapture, released 1995. This song, and most of this album, shows how beautiful Siouxsie Siouxe’s voice can be when restrained in volume, range, and style. Although it is a very different, albeit scaled back, Siouxsie and the Banshees, I love this song as an individual.

“New Strappings, Part I”- Ice Baths

From their 2018 s/t album. This song has amazing tones and an interesting build throughout. This band is surprisingly obscure, as they have some amazing singles that stay in between alternative and post-punk without leaning too generically far in either direction.

“Pepper Tree”- Cocteau Twins

From their 1984 EP The Spangle Maker. An entire Cocteau Twins EP is admittedly tiring, as it all blends together into one long, slow, hazy dream-pop song with individual parts that are hard to appreciate. This song has beautiful accompanying vocals (as most Cocteau Twins songs do) and it's layered in a really interesting way that gets better every time I listen to it.

“Shine”- Slowdive

From their 1991 album Just For A Day. I think what makes this song so strikingly beautiful is Rachel Goswell’s layered vocals, which heavily remind me of Elizabeth Fraser. As all Slowdive songs are, “Shine” is equal parts ethereal and melancholy, presenting the softer side of shoegaze.

“Owner’s Lament”- Scratch Acid

From their only album The Greatest Gift, released 1990 after the band’s breakup in 1987. Scratch Acid has some of my favorite hardcore/punk vocals by Steve Anderson, which I think is why I much prefer them to The Jesus Lizard, Scratch Acid’s kind of sister-band formed by guitarist David Sims and bassist David Yow after Scratch split. The bass and drum tones are absolutely perfect throughout the entirety of the 75-minute album.

“Fate Is…”- Wednesday

From their 2020 album, I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone.These vocals make me want to cry and slam a door so hard that it breaks. The rest of the album stays in line with a similar mood. Wednesday is from Asheville, NC.

“Never Return”- Iceage

From their first studio album New Brigade, released 2011. Marching Church and Iceage on the same playlist? Yes, absolutely. Any time. Always. To me, Iceage presents an angrier “sad song,” blending angst into lust completely. Iceage’s newer records strongly lie along the line of heavy doom-rock, but every Iceage song is always at least a couple minutes of Danish moaning, guaranteed, “Never Return” being no exception. The opening riff of this song is so alluring, and the bridge is tense and breathtaking; this song usually requires a few listens before I can move past it. Other gems on New Brigade are “White Rune” and “You’re Blessed.”

“The Partisan”- Leonard Cohen

From his 1969 album, Songs From A Room. This song is actually an anti-fascist anthem sung about the French Resistance in World War II. It’s a pretty cool song, though. Songs From A Room is one of my favorite Leonard Cohen records. Every song takes its time without the usual dramatic Cohen lag that always toes the line of being completely off, and for once, the entire album has steady, perfectly balanced production that shows off Cohen’s voice and gentle finger-picking style that I think is almost entirely unique to him.

“(-)”- Swans

From their 1999 album, Various Failures. What? A Swans song? On your public playlist? For why? I understand and I’m sorry. Michael Gira is a deeply flawed and disturbed human being.

“Winners Blues”- Sonic Youth

From their 1994 album Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star. I’ve been listening to my fair share of Sonic Youth during the past couple of weeks, and I am continuously taken aback by the range and complexity in every album. Beneath Kim Gordon’s sexy whispers and Thurston Moore’s (slimy) simplistic vocals are often layers of complementary guitar riffs and tones that become better and better the more I pick them apart.

Top it Off! The Bridal Headpiece Trends We’re Loving and How to Wear Them

It’s been said that accessories make or break the look and we’d argue that of all the bridal accessories, the headpiece is the exclamation point! It’s the pop, the wow-factor, the “I’m a queen and I know it” statement that brides are sporting down the aisle and in true GWS fashion, we can’t get enough.

We’re full on into 2019 and on the front end of some of the year’s best trends. From oversized florals to something a bit more holy, here are some of our favorite trends—and how to rock the looks for your own big day!

Flowers in Her Hair

Yes, the flower crown is here to stay—in some form or another. This year is less about braided foraged finds and more about wild pops, Frida-inspired florals, and whimsical touches. The great thing about florals is that you can easily tailor them to your own style by choosing blooms (or greenery) that speak to you and collaborating with your florist or hair stylist!

Crowning Glory

The bridal crown has come a long way from its days of dainty tiaras! We’re spotting crowns with more unique materials that make for a super modern + unique look. Think: gemstones, crystals, lace, and metal in shapes that range from sweet to statement. There are tons of great finds across Etsy and many makers will even work with you to create something 100% YOU.

I Can See Your Halo

A subset of the bridal crown, halos are taking over and we’re singing praises! Such a fun + bold look mixed with classic appeal is sure to take off with brides of an edgier sort. Try a halo crown for the ceremony and switch up it something a little more dance-ready for the reception.

My Moon and Stars

Celestial details are making a smooth transition from 2018 to 2019, and for good reason! A GWS fave, the ethereal look is even more fun with some sparkly makeup pops or nail art. Stay on top of the trend with more moon-centered accessories like barrettes and pins.

Ones to Watch

photo: Heather Waraksa

From streetwear to the runway to Instagram—bridal fashion finds its inspiration in many areas. This year, we’re seeing the re-emergence of pearls in a way that’s more high fashion and less like your darling grandmother. Bars or slides (aka, barrettes) are making a HUGE comeback, as are scrunchies, hair scarves, and bows. All of which could easily translate into bridal style…which would you try?
