Glass Pear

Internetland, it is high freaking time I introduce you to my friend Yestin Griffiths. When I first met Yestin (pronounced "Justin" or "Yummy" - whichever you prefer) I would have been instantly attracted to him were it not for the fact that he is the spitting image of my dearly departed drag queen godfather. Perhaps I should rephrase that... When I first met Yestin I was wildly attracted to him until the likeness pivoted around and bit me on the ass. Then I wanted more than anything to just stare at him for hours, snuggle up and ask him questions about Jesus and where the hell his diamond earrings and stilettos disappeared to. Fortunately for Yestin, I refrained from all but the staring - which was fine. He's oh-so-lovely and I'm sure oh-so-used to it.

Yestin is a singer / songwriter from Wales with an accent that I am dying to have read me bedtime stories and whose songs never fail to land me smack dab in the middle of every dream from which I awoke too early and found myself aching to get back to. You know the kind of music that makes you want to stop everything you're doing and lie down under a blanket of stars? That is Glass Pear. The best thing about his songs is that their beauty and clarity match the soul that created them - which is not always the case but so bloody refreshing when it is.

Check out his music on his Facebook Fan Page. You may recognize it from "The Vampire Diaries," "90210" and "Grey's Anatomy."

I am dying to get him here to Utah. Yestin in concert at the Red Butte Gardens would be bliss.

Get to know and love him. You'll be oh-so-glad you did.
