[Friday Link Round Up] N.E.E.T., Rihanna, A Beautiful Mess Wedding, & Articles

1. Automatism had some great links this week that I am now relaying to y'all. I've never typed y'all before or ever used it... Weird. Anyways, the first one is on the science between al fresco dining and why food tastes better. Agh, I am so pining for summer. Also she featured a NY Times article on aging and changing social norms. This doesn't just apply to "older women," but women of our generation who are apparently starting cosmetic interventions "early and often." I mean I used night cream and eye cream like the next girl, but Botox? Hmmm, the jury's out/I don't think I would ever do it... But then again, I just found another grey hair, so yeah. Check in with me in like two years.

[Music Monday] Britney, Nicki, Rihanna, & Beyonce

OMG I just can't handle it! I love Britney, I love her. And I love Nicki and I love Rihanna and of course, I love Beyonce and her performance was by far my fave. And I loved that all these divas work together :-) Wow, I'm so eloquent and profound. I'm working on a review of the new Foster the People release, Torches, which will hopefully be posted later today, but until then, enjoy these performances:

Britney looks fab.

Um, also I cried during the Beyonce tribute. So cute. AND HER PERFORMANCE IS EPIC. WATCH IT NOW.
