Two great names that go great together, links below.

From Bazaar Audio:
Glamour is a misunderstood concept. A lot of people associate it with glossy pictures of movie stars and celebrities in ritzy settings, or with other concepts like charisma or dazzle. Glamour is something a little different. It’s mysterious and concealing. It’s an illusion and it can be deceptive, sometimes so in problematic ways.
But whether we’re talking about a glamorous object or a glamorous person, glamour also provides a canvas on which people can project their own desires and longings. So when you find something glamorous, that something is also revealing what you yearn for in life....
....MUCH MORE, including podcast
Sure, I could say I was going for something about economics: "https://www.bazaaraudio.com/the-new-bazaar/the-intangible-economy" but that would be a lie. I want glamour.

One mo' thought on tha payrolls report
Consider all dat has either hyped up tha US economizzle and at least done cooked up big-ass headlines up in tha last two muthafuckin years — winter accelerations seemingly crashin tha fuck into sprin slowdowns; a thugged-out debt ceilin rap battle coincidin wit a thugged-out debt downgrade; a supply chain disruption caused by tha Japanese earthquake; commoditizzle n' gas price spikes; fiscal drag at both tha federal n' state levels; a thugged-out dramatically evolvin monetary policy framework; a erection n' fiscal cliff battle; a perpetual near-disasta up in Europe n' slowin emergin market growth.
In dat light, tha followin line up in todizzle’s payrolls report is worth a quick remark...
FOMC minutes: hawkish hints yo, but not straight-up
These minutes is fo' tha meetin at which tha Fed announced its switch ta a version of tha Evans’ Rule. While dat chizzle was expected, it wasn’t sposed ta fuckin be done cooked up as soon as it ultimately was.
Da most horny-ass bit from tha minutes below up in bold, followed by some quick commentary.
