Life's A Drag -

Scaling Drag Queen Heights
RuPaul & Friends

As we all know life can be a drag, a drag race that is! "No" I am not speaking of the kind that involves fast cars. I am talking about the kind that involves men appropriating women, lip synching for their lives and of course the biggest Mother of  Drag, RuPaul!

This past weekend the 4th annual RuPaul's DragCon happened right here, not now, in Los Angeles, CA.

Did I go? "No" but this photo of "Ru" cutting the ceremonial ribbon to kick it off with some of his "girls" is bright. cheery and colorful to say the least. Thus it made the Entertain Me cut, because that's the way I roll.

You've gotta hand it to Mr. Charles he really pushed drag to a whole other level of pop culture.

Enjoy your day and remember when life is a drag, just be a queen...

Monday Motivation

I'll Have What She's Having...
Marilyn Monroe

While I have drank coffee in the past, I am not really a coffee drinker. However at this very precise moment I wished I had some, right here, right now.

It's one of those bleeping mornings where a cup of caffeine would do my body some good. You know give me a Monday Motivation kick in the ass to jump start my day.

Thus I have resorted to an image of one of my favorite actresses of all time, Marilyn Monroe drinking the legendary brew, for a vicarious and hopefully energetic buzz.

Huh? What's that you say? How can I get a caffeine high without actually drinking it???

It's called acting darlings, acting.

Monday Motivation activated!

Mother's Day

Fun Times!
l-r
My Sister, Sue Waters, My Mom & Me

It's that day of the year again. You know the one set aside to acknowledge Mom's everywhere. 

So I tip my hat to all women out there who have taken on this important job. 

On that note let me tip my hat to the two special ones. "Yes" that's correct peeps it's time to meet my Sister and my Mom.

Needless to say I love them both and think they are both amazing in their own way. My Mom paid me a visit in Los Angeles this past Christmas and we had a blast.

My Sister, Sue Waters needs to, so we too can have a blast. In the meantime she is the Step Monster to my three nieces who call her that jokingly as a term of endearment.

The two of them have influenced my life in many wonderful ways and helped to make me the best version of myself I can be. So here's to the two of you and all the rest...

Happy Mother's Day!

Love,
Michael  

The Home Stretch

Fairy Tale
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Last week was a reminder to "save the date" as it was two weeks away. Well this week we are hitting the home stretch. That's correct peeps, the Royal Wedding is now officially one week away, seven days and counting, the home stretch.

The thing is, this event couldn't come at a better time in the history of the world. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Yeah, I cribbed that phrase from a song, but no truer words could be spoken presently.

Harry & Meghan are the fairy tale people need right here, right now. This is going to be one off the hook wedding and promises to deliver that happily ever after ending we all deserve. 

I'm sucker for magical moments and this will not disappoint. 

RSVP for Saturday May 19th Windsor Castle - I already have!

WTF?! "China Salesman"

WTF?!

For those out there who are clamoring for that Mike Tyson/Steven Seagal movie, and I am sure there are 2 or 3 of you. Well your wish has finally come true!

CHINA SALESMAN stars Mike Tyson, Steven Seagal, Dong-Xue Li, Janicke Askevold and Li Ai, with Eriq Ebouaney rounding out the cast. It was produced by China's Wanda Corporation, and written and directed by Chinese filmmaker Tan Bing. The film, with a reported budget of over $20 million, premieres theatrically this spring and had previously been a high profile title at last year's AFM.

Based on a true story, CHINA SALESMAN is a film about the dangerous and epic adventure to Africa where a Chinese engineer/salesman comes face-to-face with a corrupt competitor over the contract for the first African mobile telecom technology. Local tribesman Kabbah (Mike Tyson) and mercenary Lauder (Steven Seagal) get drawn into the conflict in a classic, brutal hand-to-hand fight while the entire country faces civil war battles.

CHINA SALESMAN will hit theaters on June 15th and DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD on June 26th.

Pre-order at the MVD Shop and on Amazon

"Come alive, Bones and flesh right before your eyes, I come alive
I'll make you mine" Traci Lords "Come Alive"

I'm going to pull my best self centered diva bullsh!t on your collective asses right now. In case you have been living under a rock, you should know Traci Lords dropped her latest single this week "Come Alive" - thus the lyric quote above. 

Yeah, I just can't get enough, it is my current  jam! This week has been a unique one don't really know what type of word vomit is going to spew out of it. I love it when even I have no clue of what I am going to regurgitate.

Deadpool 2 is opening soon in case you haven't heard. Oh, I think everyone has!

Good morning from Me & My lemon water

The Met Gala was this week and Blake Lively truly lived up to her last name while attending 

Want to taste heaven? On your knees then.

Two poor queens thinking they are fashionable, discuss...

Don't question me, question authority 

Christina Aguilera says she vows never to return to The Voice. Great PR move since they don't want you to return.

Taylor Swift has a big snake - bet that's something you never wanted to, or thought you'd hear. Yet, it's true!

Walkin' in lame', nobody walks in lame' 

And then there was one. So ominous and disturbing.
