I read the best piece of news this morning. One of my favorite fashion journalistic icons Eva Chen, the former Beauty Director at Teen Vogue, has accepted the position of Editor-in-Chief at Lucky Magazine! This is an incredible accomplishment for Chen as she has done wonders for the Beauty department at Teen Vogue and is widely received by her peers and colleagues in the fashion industry. For as long as I had been reading Teen Vogue in both middle school and high school, Eva has always shared the best tips in beauty. We are so excited to see how she will leave her mark on Lucky.

Girl Meets World Stills
How excited are we for the Boy Meets World spinoff?! Cory and Topanga are back. They’ve got a daughter and she’s the most adorable little girl ever. Stills were just released for what we think could be the pilot of the episode and the cast is currently filming the rest of the season this summer.
In Case You Missed It…
Like I did.
Kimye had their baby today! E! is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their daughter today. There is no word yet on what they have named her, but her first name will start with a “K.” Both mother and baby are healthy.
So…when is this special airing on E! again? Did Kim pull a Kourtney and pull out her own child out like she did with Penelope and Mason?
Only Keeping Up With the Kardashians will be able to reveal it to us.

Capitol Cider Opens
It’s here it’s here! Capitol Cider has finally opened in Capitol Hill and I couldn’t be more excited. Actually I was just excited at the first mention of it, but now it’s open and I cannot wait to make my visit next week. I actually walked by it last weekend and saw some people coming out of it, but I can only assume it was just a soft opening. Capitol Cider, located at 818 E Pike, has a 30-tap lineup and has a balance of great beers and various ciders (uh the only reason why I’d be going there in the first place) Also, if you’d like to dine there, their kitchen is completely gluten-free. How very Seattle of us!
I always love hearing news of bars and restaurants popping up because if you haven’t noticed, it’s getting a little crowded on the hill these days! Hmm. I wonder why. I miss the days when I would just walk over to my favorite spot with friends in leggings and a sweatshirt and call it good. I know there’s a saying that you can never be too over dressed, but that’s not true. You can definitely be too over dressed for Capitol Hill – so take it down a notch, will ya?!

Sasquatch 2014: 2 Different Lineups 2 Different Weekends
Yesterday the team behind the Sasquatch music festival announced that they would be expanding! Instead of just conquering Memorial Day Weekend, they will now be having another Sasquatch fest during the weekend of the 4th of July. Can we even call it Sasquatch part 2 though? After all, it’s a completely different lineup. Initially, I thought that most people would find this to be good news, but so far, all of my friends have been disappointed about it. However, I have taken on a completely different standpoint having been in the shoes of a booker previously – and that is that this is going to pose some serious problems for the Capitol Hill Block Party. I’m not sure if these planners are friends with each other – I like to assume “yes” because that’s just how it is in Seattle music, but having two different festivals in the same month is going to bring up the issue of blackouts. ie) if one band plays at one music festival, they may not be able to perform in the area for a month or two for fear of taking audiences away from the event they are throwing. Basically Sasquatch and Capitol Hill Block Party are going to have to battle to the death for the bands they want.
For attendees, their concerns revolve around when these two lineups are going to be announced. Will it be at the same time? If so, that would be ideal so that they can choose which weekend they would rather attend. If not, that’s just going to be a bummer.
Touchy Feely
TOUCHY FEELY is a closely observed examination of a family whose delicate psychic balance suddenly unravels. Abby (Rosemarie DeWitt), is a sought after massage therapist and a free spirit, while her brother Paul (Josh Pais) thrives on routine and convention, running a flagging dental practice and co-dependently enlisting the assistance of his emotionally stunted daughter Jenny (Ellen Page). Suddenly, transformation touches everyone. Abby develops an uncontrollable aversion to bodily contact, which not only makes her occupation impossible but severely hinders the passionate love life between her and her boyfriend (Scoot McNairy).

Twitter Analytics
I heard an announcement yesterday that Facebook would be incorporating hashtags into status updates. Don’t people try to do that already? The fact that it will now be official though and function the same way as Twitter is a little…disconcerting. However, Twitter isn’t going to let this hold them back and have revealed a feature that I am really excited about. Twitter Analytics! Since I started the blog four years ago, the analytics of Yow Yow! have been the most interesting part of what I do. Aside from discovering new content, I love being able to see where my readership lives, how my views fluctuate between days, weeks, and years. We’ve been through so much and having this data allows me to adapt to new changes and have a better understanding for what works and what doesn’t. Earlier this year, Pinterest debuted their analytics alongside some pretty charts. Now, it looks like Twitter will follow suit and I’m sure…it won’t be long until Facebook does the same.
Warby Parker Class Trip: Seattle
It isn’t often that Veronica and I get to make the trip over to the lovely Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, but when we do, it is quite the treat. After work this evening, we attended the Warby Parker Class Trip event and happily welcomed the New York brand to our city. At Hilliard’s Brewery, we accidentally missed the music (La Luz – our apologizes) but nommed on some delicious sliders from the Curb Jumper food truck. I’m not exactly sure what that second slider was made out of – probably pulled pork and Asian slaw – but it was the best thing I’ve eaten all week. The event was packed with all of Seattle’s favorite hipsters – everyone dressed so much better than us – and lots of pretty frames of course! The bus was incredible. We wished we had one ourselves.
Warby Parker will be in Seattle until July 7th parking their bus for everyone to come visit and exploring our pretty city. Follow their journey here.
50 Women Who Rock Seattle
Seattle is such an amazing city to grow up in. I’ve been surrounded by the music industry here since I was just 16 years old and have continuously looked up to female artists, bookers, managers, etc. For as long as I’ve known, I’ve never thought that anything was impossible in this city and Seattle Weekly highlighted 50 women who are paving the way for Seattle music through their careers. On this list are Rachel Flotard, Cristina Bautista, Megan Seling, THEEsatisfaction, to name a few. Check out the full list here.
Alexa Chung’s New Book
Alexa Chung released a photograph of her new cover and book title today called “It.” Well, it makes sense doesn’t it? She is the HBIC It Girl. So what exactly will we find in this new read? Don’t expect it to be a tell-all or even a memoir. Instead, the book will hold her inspirations such as photographs and drawings. Alexa is quite the style icon so we have no doubts at all that this won’t be a best seller and that young fan girls all over the world won’t be standing in line waiting to purchase it.
