Sunday Funday

What A Drag...
Lady Gaga

When I first spotted this image on the WWW I thought it was Travis Bickle straight outta Martin Scorsese's classic Taxi Driver.

Upon further examination it turns out to be the one and only Lady Gaga dressed as a man. Dude looks like a lady Minions.

Gaga is not a stranger to taking on many looks and toying with perceptions. Thus everyday is like Sunday Funday with Ms. Thang.

Our Lady is currently shooting the sequel to the mega hit Joker movie that starred Joaquin Phoenix titled - Joker: Folie a Deux. Oh, and it's a musical, naturally, or not so naturally.

Color me intrigued.

Monday Motivation

One Last Time
Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett

Last night was quite the surreal viewing experience watching Tony Bennet/Lady Gaga special One Last Time: An Evening With Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

If you saw it you get what I'm saying, if not well here's the 411 on why the evening was completely unexpected and Monday Motivation, Hell motivation for every day of your life.

Tony Bennett at 95 blew the roof off of Radio City Music Hall. I was astounded, while I was 100% positive he would not suck, I really did not expect him to be at the height of his singing powers.

His swan song rendition of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" was my personal favorite of the evening.

It was really quite supernatural seeing Bennett, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's effortlessly own every song to note and word perfect perfection.

So there you have it, your Monday Motivation mission is to bend it like Tony Bennett. He is proof that anything is possible!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Continuing with the season today's Hump Day & Chill is one Matt Bomer as Donovan from American Horror Story: Hotel featuring Lady Gaga as The Countess. 

There's something about Matt, perhaps it's his chiseled jaw line, his dreamy eyes or maybe it is his supple booty (which I can not show on here, but you can Google.)

Whatever the case Matt was perfection as The Countesses sexually fluid Boy Toy in AHS: Hotel. Not to mention the copious amount of skin he flashes throughout.

The Main Event
Lady Gaga & Matt Bomer

Now that I've whet your appetite and since it's the time of year we watch things that go bump in the night. You may want to check into the "Hotel" with Matt for a Hump Day & Chill.

Hey naughty boys need love too!!!

"Born This Way"

Lady Gaga

Being that it recently celebrated it's 10th Anniversary, Being that it's Tuesday Tunesday and Being that it is Pride Month. Here's Lady Gaga with the ultimate Pride Anthem, Born This Way!

This is clearly a mash-up of Madonna's Express Yourself & Vogue, with Gaga's own spin on them. BTW for those of you who think she did this without Madonna's permission, uh, think again.

Madonna is biz savvy and having this out there keeps her relevant, enough said.

While this is far from my favorite Pride Anthem, it is always a staple, not to mention it is on the forefront of everyone's mind this Pride Season because of the Birthday it recently celebrated.

Hey there are far worse things to do than get your Gaga during this time of unity and love, so why not hit the video below???

Monday Motivation

Downward Gaga
Lady Gaga

It's Memorial Day and I  am getting myself ready and focused for the week ahead, thus it's time for some good old fashioned Monday Motivation in the form of yoga.

Here we see Lady Gaga striking a yoga pose, me?! I will be striking my pose adjacent to the Douglas Fairbanks Memorial in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this ayem. 

"Yes" that's correct Minions Hollywood Forever has been having yoga there for a majority of the Pandemic and it is real and spectacular. Not to mention quiet and I have yet to see any dead people, just their markers.

So gird your loins and get all downward dog with me, won't you? Or perhaps take a hike.

Yoga is my jam and exactly the Monday Motivation I need to clear my head and make me chill for the week ahead.

What's on your  agenda?

Reunited

We Are Family
Lady Gaga & Children

With the world being all sorts of crazy, perhaps the weirdest story of the week was the kidnapping of Lady Gaga's French Bulldogs. (Sorry CPAC, your no longer winning the crazy game. You are simply boring loons at this point for me.)

Gaga and her dogs have been reunited, this took me to my happy place. While it is unclear what the motivation was for the dognapping (I will be curious to find out) happy endings these days are always a welcome change of pace.

(CNN) The two French bulldogs violently stolen from Lady Gaga's dog walker have been returned safely, the Los Angeles Police Department said Friday.

A woman, who wasn't named, met the entertainer's staff and detectives at the Olympic Community Police Station with the animals at around 6 p.m. PT, the LAPD said in a statement.
"The woman found the dogs and reached out to Lady Gaga's staff to return them," the statement said. "The woman's identity and the location the dogs were found will remain confidential due to the active criminal investigation and for her safety."
The LAPD also updated the condition of the dog walker, saying he was "stable" with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Save The Date

RSVP tomorrow is the Presidential Inauguration of Joe Biden and the first female Vice President ever Kamala Harris. 

"Yes" I will be watching given the Historical context of it, Ms. Harris being the first Veep and all. While we are entering a new era in this country, I for one am moving forward with hope and caution. 

Let's face it, it's going to be a bit before COVID is truly under control given the negligence of the former administration. Also there's been a lot of damage done that will also take time to fix.

2021 will be a year of healing, not "your year" or anyone else's for that matter. It will be the year things move forward and make the next three years more viable for all.

So cheers to Biden/Harris I will be watching this historic event along with the rest of you. 

PS In case you didn't know Lady Gaga is singing the National Anthem...

Countdown To Halloween...

Give It Up Do As I Say
Lady Gaga

This year with Halloween being tailored to COVID 19, I still think it's important to get into the spirit (of course the pun was intended.) It's my favorite time of the year. This being stated I thought I would share with you what a huge fan I am of vampires.

"Yes" I love vampires, when I was a youngster I wanted to be one when I grew up. Yeah, there's that...

Here to represent is Lady Gaga as The Countess from American Horror Story: Hotel. While AHS: Hotel had it's flaws (all seasons of that show do, some more than others.) I enjoyed it for the most part. Especially how they set it in Hollywood and fictionalized real Show Biz icons and Serial Killers, into the tapestry of the story.

Well Minions we only have 21 more days until the High Holy Day, and if you want next year to be more celebratory, get out and VOTE!

"I Was Wearing Face Shields Before It Was A Thing"

The Look
Lady Gaga

This past Sunday the MTV Video Music Awards happened. "No" I didn't watch, from the looks of things perhaps I should have. At least they acknowledged the Pandemic (unlike a certain orange piece of fecal matter I can think of) - and looks like they put on a great show in spite of it (it's amazing how restrictions can trigger creativity) 

Giving birth to the quote "I Was Wearing Face Shields Before It Was A Thing" that was uttered by the star of the evening Lady Gaga. Gaga made her entrance paying homage to iconic VMA Statue and proceeded to make masks fashion and fun throughout the rest of the affair.

Thus I am leaving you with Lady Gaga giving us mask fashion realness and providing levity during the Pandemic that is still afoot. You're Welcome 😎

Current Mood

Moody
Lady Gaga
So even though there was a ban on fireworks in Los Angeles County yesterday, plenty of them were illegally ignited. Luckily no major fires were started and no one (that I've heard of) was injured. 

I actually just heard one go off as I am sitting here at my keyboard clacking away. Thus this brings me to my Current Mood.

This image of  Lady Gaga sums it up perfectly. My mood is indescribable and sort of on edge much like this Pippi Longstocking  meets Orphan look that Gaga is sporting.

You know Orphan as in the horror movie Orphan and if you don't know Pippi Longstocking Google that, OK?

Thus I think I will sit with this feeling and make it work. Time to 5th of July Minions!

Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment that's all I ever hear! "Yes" it is, and while it is important news, it is equally important to make yourself happy during this trying time. Thus I am not watching any of it as it will only serve to make me angry.

Besides with Social Media one really does not have a need to watch it. The news reports I see on my Twitter feed are frustrating enough Thank You very much! On with the show kiddos!

I'm bent and twisted, like a balloon animal

Seriously, how can anyone have bad breath at this point in history?

World Pride

She's Got Spirit!
Lady Gaga
Today is the official last day of World Pride, and while the party may be over, the celebration should continue. "Yes" life should be a celebration every damn MotherF#cking day!

Bear witness to Lady Gaga sauntering her way in rainbow regalia to The Stonewall Inn, the place where the first Gay Pride was literally a riot. Hence on the 50th Anniversary of the historic event which transpired on June 28th in NYC - the Pride Party this weekend in the city of origin is an extravaganza!

So of course Gay ally our Lady of Gaga is out in full force and rocking it like a unicorn! Hey, she was Born This Way...

Thus on the last day of the party I leave you with this delightful image to remind you to keep on keepin' 365 days all the time. You and your life are a reason to celebrate!

Rainbow High Five!

Happy Easter & Such

Be Your Own Yolk
Lady Gaga 
Well it's Easter Sunday and it means something to some of you and to others not so much. This being a fact for some reason, well actually for obvious reasons I thought of when Lady Gaga emerged from an egg at The Grammy's

Yeah, those were the days when our Lady of Gaga was doing all sorts of "outrageous" things to get our attention. Me? I always found these shenanigans boring and uninteresting as her music at the time was to me as well.

Well Gaga you've come a long way baby! So this Easter Sunday, whatever it means, or doesn't mean to you. Why not try something different, emerge from your own egg and go fourth and conquer something that you have always wanted to try.

If Lady Gaga can, so can you!

Egg Toss!

Monday Motivation

Let's Get Unconscious, Honey-
Madonna & Lady Gaga
"There's got to be a morning after, If we can hold on through the night, We have a chance to find the sunshine, Let's keep on looking for the light" - Morning After, Maureen McGovern 

"Yes" peeps it's the morning after The Oscars - who saw Olivia Colman winning over Glenn Close. No one! However Social Media is buzzing at present about this image of Lady Gaga with her Oscar for Best Original Song and Mama Madonna holding them both.

Honestly, can I be frank? I have never felt there was any "rivalry" ever between the two. They trotted it out when they each had something to promote and then it went away post haste

Let's get real when Gaga did Born This Way a hybrid note for note of Express Yourself and Vogue she had to have had permission to do it. Otherwise Madonna could have sued and won. These two are partners in crime make no mistake about it.

Oh, yeah, what's today's Monday Motivation? Cheers to women supporting each other. Hey we should all support each other as human beings. Go out and be the best version of you that you can possibly be. Even if you actually suck as a human being, try to suck less today.

"Solo"


Did you spend Valentine's Day "Solo?"

TINA DECARA RELEASES ANTHEM ON THE POWER OF BEING ALONE: “SOLO”



Pop singer Tina DeCara follows-up her smash single “Illusion” — its had over one million Spotify streams — with “Solo,” a song about loving yourself when you’re at your loneliest.  “I’ve been solo for a while and though most days, I’m cool with not having a special someone to kick it with, there are times my mood swings so low,” admits Tina. It was during one of these down periods that she wrote her new single.   “I sat with a bottle of wine and had a little pity party in my music journal,” she remembers.  But oddly, what emerged wasn’t a sad song about being lonely, but a celebration of self-love and embracing time spent alone.  Tina DeCara’s “Solo” is being released through Big Management and is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, and all other major retailers, as well as for streaming through Pandora and Spotify.  Its video is on Youtube.

“My message for anyone struggling to make it through another day is to take a moment to breath and relax.  Don’t try to solve your problems all at once.  Tackle issues one at a time and give yourself a moment to rest in between so you are strong enough for the next battle.” 


DeCara admits she often struggles with sad feelings.  “Pursuing pop star dreams is hard.  One day, I’m on top of the world and the next I’m back at square one.  It gets lonely being in the big city, away from home and everyone that I love.”

When she’s feeling isolated, she listens to records, and the day DeCara wrote the song that would become “Solo,” she had been sent a new instrumental produced by The Drupes.    “It was pretty popish, with a bop your head around and dance to it happy kinda vibe,” she explains. “But somehow my melancholy lyrics worked  well with it.”

She went to a studio in Queens and recorded the single in about two hours. “It was a great session.  The energy was high.”

Tina DeCara grew up on Long Island with her parents and two brothers. She began singing and songwriting in high school, drawing inspiration from the likes of David Bowie, Lady Gaga, and Amy Winehouse.  While her friends were not supportive of her superstar dreams, her family encouraged her to follow her passion.

“I was surprised by all the negativity I received from kids I had chosen to have in my life.   I quickly cut them out.”

She says one of the biggest challenges as an artist is finding yourself and learning what your voice is capable of.   “I write about how I’m feeling and then I put some unexpected twist on it,” she explains.  “It’s an incredibly personal process so I try not to focus on what is going on outside my bubble.” 

The music video for “Solo” echoes these sentiments.  Directed by David Wept and shot in and around Coney Island, the video depicts Tina DeCara celebrating the one person who matters most in her life. 

“Though I’m solo, for the most part, I’m always giggling.  I work hard, I’m determined and if I have a little unhealthy obsession over buying wigs, what’s it to you? Until I’m a duo, I’m just goin’ to do me.”

Just Because...Gaga & Martin

I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Lady Gaga & Ricky Martin
Just Because she's a Lady, Just Because he's Livin La Vida Loca & Just Because they are together on the red carpet, look boys & girls it's Lady Gaga & Ricky Martin!

Awards Shows, in this case the SAG Awards, can make for some strange yet wonderful bedfellows. I mean seriously never did I ever entertain the thought that I would see Gaga & Martin together. It was the image no one knew they needed until they were captured together forever in this photo op.

Photo ops are good for that sort of thing. 

I wonder if perhaps we could expect some sort of collaboration from these two in the near future? If so, one wonders if it would be of the music or acting variety. Give it time I am sure it will go down, so to speak.

Now get out there and make Daddy proud...

Oscar Wilde has been my spirit animal of late. He is quite astute, read up on some of his quotes they were of their time, and also ahead of their time.
