Hello...please post the story here. Ok, will do, in a few hours or so. In the meantime, there’s a gorgeous new story from Hayley a couple hours ago! The best one I’ve seen in a while! Oh, and she’s posted the video to her Instagram, so I might not need to post the story after all. It's up to you, Libby...it would be good practice, especially if she posts more video stories! And here is that gorgeous new story...

Well, now that it's on Twitter, it still has a frame, but I think if I'd posted one that already had a frame, I'd have a double frame! LOL Now here is the instagram post: http://www.instagram.com/p/B3sUgHwgJKg Not entirely sure why she's LOL'ing at Chris. He appears to be saying something, but I have no idea what. He also moved his foot back and forth, also not sure of any significance of that, but something he did was funny to Hayley. LOL

Thank you for posting yours and Hayley's too! Yeah, her LOL could be about Chris saying something funny. I wonder if he has ever attended similar events before. I'm glad that he was there with her. The card held by the woman accompanying them had "Hayley Westenra" and "singer". I had a look at the cast/credits of For All Mankind...no familiar names in the music credits. Oh, on Hayley's Instagram front page, I just noticed that the "lyfe" stories are gone. There are just two now, the "hi" and the cd icon.

Chris seems to be practicing guitar or piano with his right hand, foot pedals going with his feet or maybe dance moves, Is he singing or talking to the lady in front of him. It would be handy if we had a lip reader on the forum, but maybe it is best that we don't..

Some miscellaneous social media posts regarding Barefoot Studios and Chris McFarland. A few days ago, @barefoot_recording ‘s Instagram page posted a photo of a wall displaying albums they have helped to make. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3p162Dhr33 Their caption was a “few additions to the wall today”. I replied “I see the perfect spot on the wall for @hayleywestenra’s upcoming release” and Libby replied to me saying “up at the top, of course!”. And Barefoot Recording LIKED both our posts!
Today, Jason Lowrie shared an Instagram Story video of Chris playing a tambourine. I just have to share a screenshot of Jason’s video...

New story from Hayley a couple hours ago! Another mirror selfie, and she appears to be dressed for a Friday night out, at least from my perspective. Crissy, where are you? We haven't had a lap selfie in ages! LOL (watch, tomorrow there'll be one LOL)

First and foremost, I acknowledge, of course, that Hayley may wear what she chooses.
That said, I respectfully offer my opinion that I'm not in favour of her outfit in the picture above. Perhaps someone can advise whether it's a fashionable look? I confess to being rather out of touch on these matters. Regardless, to me, the outfit looks a little bit like late '70s punk, or possibly an attempt to recreate being 17 again. Either way, I don't think it suits her.
Again, respectfully, I disagree with you, Joe. I don't think it's "effortlessly elegant".
Further thought: could this be some sort of statement of a change of direction and an indication of the sort of content we might expect on the new (but aging) album? "Classsical crossover" to "having crossed over"?

I agree that elegant might not be the absolute best adjective for the outfit itself, but I think she’s dressed to go out for a casual night out with friends. Also I think what Joe could have meant by “effortlessly elegant” is that she looks elegant with no effort! See? Going out for a drink or something doesn’t require dressing up that much. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what she’s wearing, and she looks just fine. It’s just a jacket and jeans, what normal people wear!! 🤔🙄 Why must she have a perfect outfit at all times, anyway? It looks better than the tattered cut off shorts with the inside of the pockets hanging down that she wore the other day. Lol I also remember people complaining about the color of a dress she wore for her last concert in Ireland. Then for the last 5 years, people were saying they liked her hair long better. I once was not crazy about her dress and hair for an event about 10 years ago. She can’t please everyone at all times, nor should she try. Your acknowledging that fact and then proceeding to criticize it doesn’t make criticizing it any better. She wore a good outfit for the press photos the other day, and looked amazing in her selfie that day. Do you have any compliments for that one at least? Lol

I am glad Libby knows what I meant by "effortlessly elegant". There are no rips or tears in Hayley's jeans; I despise the holes-in-the-knees look. Two new stories in from Hayley, of her friend @linsy_maree, and of Jason Lowrie of Barefoot Recording. Possibly from Friday night.

Hayley has not posted the video of her media outing on Facebook or Twitter. Well, if she ever has an album to promote, let's hope she realizes she might need to use those to get more people's attention.

I agree with you about the cut knees look, Joe, and I'm not wildly enamoured of the "pockets out" cut-offs, either. The good news there is that if they haven't finally fallen to pieces, they soon will do! Probably OK for the beach, but that's about it.
Libby, I was not intending to criticise Hayley's outfit, although that may have been taken as implicit, but I think it's reasonable to be able to comment that I don't like it.

It’s also reasonable to be able to voice disagreement in response. And yes, it did sound critical, otherwise I wouldn’t have called it that. I don’t know, I think it was the word punk that got to me, because it didn’t sound as though it was a positive for you. Also just the way I’ve heard other old people (sorry lol) talk about “punks”. Anyway there is absolutely nothing wrong with a simple jacket and jeans! So I’m sorry if I don’t think your comments are quite reasonable.

I for one am very grateful that Hayley is not a fashion or cosmetics endorser, I'm sure she has had plenty of offers to facilitate "product placement"
For most blokes when the lady asks "how do I look" the usual reply is "ah sure, ye look grand"
I have just been watching Stacey Dooley investigates The Fashion industry's dirty secrets, makes me feel quite good that I have that old jacket or whatever for over twenty years.
