"Happiness lies in your own hand

It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me

Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret" - Madonna, Secret

F#ck normal, I want magic, that's all

Things Cardi B says: "If you support Trump, don't listen to my music" there's that

No substance that has ever been used was abused. It was loved.

Even though the reviews have been not so good overall, I can't wait for the season three premiere of Euphoria this Sunday! Who's with me???

To the victors belong the squirrels, think about it, but not too much...

Karoline Leavitt actually said, "It's hard for President Trump to make key decisions on Iran when he doesn't have enough intelligence." No lies detected for a change.

A dozen roses, what could possibly go wrong I ask you?

My current obsession is Denise Richards face lift. It's a masterpiece!

Woman Crush of the Week - Hunter Schafer slaying on the red carpet for the premiere of Euphoria season three.

Scream 8 is going to be coming our collective way. That's what happens when Scream 7 made over $200 Million. You can't keep Ghostface down!

Who else is loving season three of The Comeback? ✋

My friend Scott brought over some cranberry scones, yep I had one for breakfast...delicious

What's your favorite Alfed Hitchcock film? Mine is Psycho because it made the most impact on me

BTW I have an agenda, that's the way it goes

Maybe I'll let you in on it here -

Hump Day & Chill and All That Jazz...

"Bye-bye, life
Bye-bye, happiness
Hello, loneliness
I think I'm gonna die
I think I'm gonna die

Bye-bye, love
Bye-bye, sweet caress
Hello, emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye-bye, your life, goodbye
Bye-bye, my life, goodbye
Bye-bye, your life, goodbye
2, 3, 4, 5, 6

She's Back!

Erika Jayne

The person known as Erika Jayne is finally back! She put Dorit Kemsley in her place with nothing more than her pointed dagger humor and simplicity on this past weeks RHOBH.

Dorit went after Erika and decided to call her a mid section with a "C" 

Well Erika was not going to have it, she was the first woman in the group to use the word and wasn't going to let Dorit take credit for using it against her, nor let being called it upset her.

She schooled Dorit hard, fast and razor sharp!

Refer to the meme above and seize the day you c#nts!

"Hold Tight"

Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and garage-pop mainstay Palmyra Delran returns with her latest digital single, “Hold Tight,” a vibrant reinterpretation of the 1960s hit by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. Backed by her band The Doppel Gang, Delran delivers a version that leans into the song’s raw textures—buzzing guitars, crashing tambourine, and all—while injecting it with her signature punch and personality.

Driven by fuzzed-out guitar tones and a gloriously over-the-top tambourine, “Hold Tight” captures the spirit of the original while dialing up the grit and immediacy. It’s a natural fit for Delran, whose career has long balanced reverence for classic pop with a love of distortion, hooks, and attitude.

“‘Hold Tight’… is one of those songs that I don’t remember hearing for the first time. I think I just always knew it,” says Delran. “The standout bits for me are that beautiful fuzzy guitar and the tambourine… Nothing brings the mayhem like a loud and sloppy tambourine. As far as the fuzzy guitar, I think that’s the sound of brain cells frying—in a good way.”

With The Doppel Gang providing a tight, driving backbone, Delran’s version feels both faithful and freshly unhinged—celebrating the chaos that made the original so enduring.
