Carmen’s Team Pick:
Haim and Stevie Nicks recently spent some time kicking it together in Los Angeles, which sounds like an average, every day celebrity happening to the world but sounds to me like something I’ve been waiting for my entire life. Or at least the past two years.
The four came together for a piece in T, the New York Times magazine, in which they interviewed each other and shot the shit about living their dreams and trying to make it. Nicks imbued the three sisters that populate most of your waking dreams with a sense of inevitable stardom, which is good news for all of us who want them to stick around. And then, in what I can only imagine was a moment filled with both magic and sheer legendary spirit, they sang “Rhiannon” together gathered around Nicks’ piano.
Later on, Nicks dubbed the Haim trio her “sisters of the moon,” gifting them with matching moon pendants hanging on gold chains. I can’t make this shit up.

The fact that the video won’t play while I’m at work is soul-crushing.
I want Stevie Nicks to give me a pendant and call me her sister of the moon how do i make this happen thanks
My girlfriend said this word for word when I told her about this article!
guys lets all get moon pendants deal?
gah danielle haim just gahhhhhhhhhh…i think she looks like a 21st century version of emily dickinson but like if emily dickinson was in a rock band and wore a lot of leather and i just have so many special feelings about her and i should probably stop before i embarrass myself
You and me both. Sigh.
I announced this article’s existence to the missus, her response “Of course, that makes sense.” then “I wish Stevie Nicks was my friend”…Then I read it out and she said what Susi said above. Bittersweet.
This makes me want buy more black doeskin cord so I can make another set of crescent moon necklaces and stuff. Wish I had the lapidary skills to shape or safely break down quartz.
*spins to the music*
Sighhhh I love Stevie so much. My parents are huge Fleetwood Mac fans and named me after a song (they almost named me Stevie, dang).
