The Issue: Waffling is summer's hottest look.
Stick around NYC to see The Debutante Hour at Joe's Pub on Wednesday August 2 at 7 PM.
“Waffling” is a striped summer look you can achieve by sitting around in the heat until your exposed body parts adhere to outdoor furniture, forming a lasting pattern.
Sink into the height of summer style with the deep-madras, grilled-swordfish-ish, flesh mesh of The Waffled Look!
Here in NYC, “achieving deep waffle” is a mark of louche distinction, indicating committed hunkering down.
It shows that you’re the kind of person who sticks around and isn’t afraid to show it.
Whether you achieve waffling across your thighs at the MoMA sculpture garden or by air-grilling your forearms on a tar beach tabletop, the waffled look is perfect for those who find the prospect of an all-A/C-summer a little chilling and want to wear their resistance as a tartan-impressioned sleeve.
Pictured with a waffled forearm that indicates a deeply-seated commitment to being “here for it” is Susan Hwang, one member of the NYC trio, The Debutante Hour.
Speaking of being here for it… Stick around for The Debutante Hour at Joe’s Pub Wednesday August 2nd at 7 PM!
The Debutante Hour is Maria Sonevytsky (accordion/ukelele), Mia Pixley (cello), and Susan Hwang (drums/accordion) implementing the traditional shamanic devices of three-part harmony, cello, accordion, bari-ukulele, and hobo drums.
The Debutante Hour’s all-together charming performances are a bright, fizzy,bracingly-refreshing tonic.
Harmonies are highly Hermette-ic: singular voices, joining together to create a joyful sound.
The Debutante Hour will perform live at the legendary Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater 425 Lafayette Street in NYC on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at 7 PM.
Seeing them in person gives a person a sense of what a world of perfect harmony might feel like for about an hour.
The Debutante Hour released their first full-length album, "The Birth and Death of Meaning" in March of 2010 produced by Franz Nicolay, featuring fun and talented guests like Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls), Ed Pastorini (101 Crustaceans) and Jonathan Vincent (Thintap Woodsap, Girls in Trouble). Their second recording is an EP of covers titled "Follow Me" -- also produced by Franz Nicolay and recorded at Olive Juice Music in NYC, released in March 2011. They released another full-length album of original songs, "An Awkward Time with The Debutante Hour," in early 2012.
Written in response to the book "Oranges" by John McPhee, The Debutante Hour’s newest EP, "The Citrus Suite: Three songs about Oranges," makes a lasting impression.
