Hump Day & Chill
With No Time To Die opening October 8th I thought we would Hump Day & Chill to Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond one last time.
This is Craig's swan song as 007 so let's take a walk down memory lane with Daniel strutting his stuff in that fantasy inducing, iconic blue swimsuit.
Hey, who doesn't recall the moment Craig graced the screen wearing that number? I ask you? Any answers, any questions???
So kick back, and enjoy the last Hump Day & Chill of September Minions!

In The Pink
Lizzo Beating |
Rolling into the week I am feeling "in the pink," translation: I'm getting down my bad self! That's correct Minions I'm just like Lizzo who always gets down with her bad self and is literally "in the pink" at the Global Citizen Live concert in NYC.
Lizzo and are both 100% that bitch today, in the best way possible.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with feeling ones self and feeling good about that. Now is there? Say "Yes" there you go see how easy that was???
I for one am energized and ready to rumble. Let's get this week started!
What's on your agenda?!

Double Vision
Twinning! Brooke Shields & Grier Henchy |
Do you see what I see? On the surface it is Brooke Shields and her daughter Grier Henchy attending Milan Fashion Week. Look closer...
"Yes" this mother and daughter are doppelgangers, look-alikes if you will, resulting in a case of: Double Vision.
Seriously though Grier looks like her Mom in her heyday when she was a teen model and movie sensation in such films as Pretty Baby, The Blue Lagoon & Endless Love.
There are many of you reading this who I am sure don't recall this time in entertainment history, but those who do, get it.
Wonder if Grier has any interest in following in the footsteps of her iconic mother? Discuss...

Current Mood
Forbidden Fruit Megan Fox & Kourtney Kardashian |
"I naturally want to be provocative" - Iggy Azalea
In cased you haven't figured it out by the photo and the quote the Current Mood I am feeling is: Provocative.
Those of you who know me, know much like quote from Iggy that to provoke is in my nature. It's an automatic thing that happens. It flows through me like the force in Star Wars, hey I was born this way.
When I provoke it's definitely sexual in context. Thus the photo of Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian from their SKIMS ad campaign. It's like Alexis & Eve taking a bite out of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
I believe I have made my mood and intentions clear.
Bend it like me today and let loose your inner provocateur...

Songs From The Vault
Lo-Flo Records to Release
Songs from the Vault: Reel #2
Featuring the Voice of Tami Lynn
The Second Installment of a Series Dedicated to
Exploring the Archives of
Prolific Songwriter Jane McNealy
Out September 17, 2021
Lo Flo Records to release Songs from the Vault: Reel #2, the second installment in an ongoing archival series which aims to explore the immense songwriting catalog of artist Jane McNealy. Truly unable to be pigeon-holed, McNealy follows up Reel #1’s soft folk Americana offering with these three soulful R&B ballads written in 1979/1980 featuring the incredible performances of vocalist Tami Lynn. Songs from the Vault: Reel #2 will be out September 17, 2021. To learn more about McNealy and her work, please visit https://linktr.ee/loflorecords. This upcoming release collects three compositions from McNealy’s catalog: “Where Are You Now,” the opener, “Make It Happen,” and the jazz standard “One Day At A Time.” Although each track is unique in its own right, these songs are connected by McNealy’s keen ability to write about matters of the heart. The first song, expressing bittersweet memories conjured by a past love, sets the tone for Reel #2. These deep emotional stakes of romance continue with “Make It Happen.” If the previous song is a plea to an old lover to take her back, “Make It Happen” is a wish that the first stirrings of love will grow to something beautiful and lasting. Finally, the direction of Reel #2 changes with the jazzy “One Day At A Time.” This song is actually an alternate recording of a track included in McNealy’s June 2021 album of the same name. It features McNealy’s talent for emotional storytelling through the eyes of a weary traveler speeding through a metropolis on a train. With Songs from the Vault, Reel: #2, McNealy truly showcases the power of love and longing as captured by song, and Tami Lynn’s performances glide effortlessly from passionate and assured to searching and heavy heartbreak. |

Puttin' On The Met Michael Shinafelt |
This week the Met Gala happened. I for one was grateful for the escapism and levity. While some took to Social Media and went all Debbie Downer and threw a wet blanket on the fun with statements like: I think the Met Gala is a despicable display of wealth and privilege.
My message to those peeps, lighten up a little. Life is after all a cabaret Minions!
I have a friend who's cousin twice removed got bitten by a dog after he got vaccinated, just saying...
FYI Teeth don't fall from the sky, the more you know
Ugh! I hate doing plate laundry
The day I take medical advice from Nicki Minaj is the day I buy one of her albums
R.I.P. Norm Macdonald - thanks for the laughs
Get them wet, they'll multiply...
California voted NO on "Elder" Abuse, Yay!
Lil Nas X's Montero drops tomorrow, call him by his name
Woman Crush of the Week - Karlie Kloss. While everyone looked off the hook at The Met Gala Karlie completely slayed in this confectionary dress by Caroline Herrera
I took Studio Ready butt scrub on vacation and my BF loved every minute of it
Provocateur. You like it. Admit it.

Hump Day & Chill
Can You Feel It? Carl Nassib |
While I watch football on occasion I am truly not into the sport. The only one I enjoy as a spectator is boxing. Today however we are going to give a Hump Day & Chill to the first openly gay NFL Carl Nassib of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Why you may ask? I'm glad you did. Other than thirst reasons Carl helped his team secure the win this past Monday.
How you may ask? Again I'm glad you did. Apparently Nassib forced a fumble during overtime allowing Quarterback David Car to toss the 31-yard winning touchdown. Now that's team work!!!
“Lot of firsts today,” Nassib said at the post-game press conference. “No one blinked. It was awesome. It was a great team win, for sure.”
Now if that doesn't deserve a Hump Day & Chill I don't know what does.
Score with Carl below...

Who Are You Wearing???
The Crown Iman |
Last night the Met Gala was back! I must say it was truly magical to see everyone dressed to the nines with all the challenges in the world today, a truly great escape.
While all attendees looked amazing and no one faltered, I would like to give honorary notice to Karlie Kloss in her stunning red dress. Leave it to fashion icon Iman to show everyone how it's done.
Iman partnered with designer Harris Reed for a dramatic look made of gold topped off by an equally dramatic gold headpiece.
Hey, there's a reason she is fashion industry royalty and she reminded everyone of this last night. Slay Queen, Slay!!!
Go out and honor your Queen today, and bend it like Iman...!!!

“Red 4 Filth” Album Due early 2022
My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir Arrives November 9, 2021
Star of stage, screen, podcast airwaves and beyond, scalding hot drag superstar Alaska Thunderfuck is about to get even “RED” hotter as she releases her brand new single, “Red” HERE. “Red,” the first track off her forthcoming full length album, Red 4 Filth via PEG Records/Warner Music Group/ADA was written by Justin Honard aka Alaska, Jay Stolar (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato), JBach (Chri$tian Gate$), Andrea Rosario (Aloe Blacc), Chester Krupa, Skyler Cocco & Jordan Palmer and produced by Stolar, Jordan Palmer, Krupa & Skyler Cocco.
“Red is the color of blood, and the heart, and the color of love. This song and this album are dedicated to the time when I first fell in love with music — around the turning of the century. We’re drawing upon the sounds and textures of the 90s and early 2000s, with pop songs that are about love and friendship. I love the music and I can’t wait to share it with you all.” says Alaska
The “Red 4 Filth” North American tour is Alaska’s first-ever headlining tour and will feature her performing her entire new album along with other fan favorites with a barrage of sickening high fashion backup dancers (2000’s pop-star style) as well as feature her signature brand of comedy for a must-see show. Tour pre-registration begins today (9/10) HERE where fans sign-up to be notified/first-in-line to purchase tickets on Monday, September 13. There will be a 10 am PT ticket on-sale access for fans with secret code (sent to people who pre-register); 11 am PT ticket on-sale access for general public. Ticket prices range from $20.00 for early GA & $25.00 for GA ADV to $95.00 for VIP/M&G and $249 for the Ultimate VIP experience.
The tour will kick off January 19, 2022, in Orlando, FL, with over 30 additional dates throughout the country & Canada, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Toronto, and more. A full list of tour dates and venues is below.
In addition to Alaska being one of the most powerful and iconic Drag queens in the galaxy – her captivating story begins as a small-town kid raiding her grandma’s closet. My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir (Chronicle Books / $24.95 / November 9, 2021) is her intimate, alluring tell-all book coming this fall.
Told with signature wit and charm, My Name's Yours, What's Alaska? is an unfiltered look at Alaska’s life and meteoric rise to fame. From childhood struggles to life lessons learned, the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Star shares the challenges, life-changing discoveries, and victories that paved her path to superstardom. Today, she’s a hit recording artist; global, in-demand performer; and heads a podcast network.
Of writing the book she says, "People have often asked me, ‘Alaska- if you were to ever write a book, what would it be about?’ The answer is simple- It would be about me, of course. In this book I plan to tell the T, the whole T, and nothing but the T— so help me Goddess. In telling my life story, from my birth until now, I hope to invite you into my world, to set the record straight, and to inspire the children of the world. Because if a poor skinny queer boy from Erie, Pennsylvania can grow up to be an extra-terrestrial starlet of stage and screen, then truly anus-thing is possible."
In addition to being an entertaining memoir, My Name's Yours, What's Alaska? is an honest, emotionally resonant, funny, and unapologetic celebration of queerness, self-expression, and authenticity. Featuring exclusive photographs and illustrations, My Name's Yours, What's Alaska? is a fun, fresh, and wild ride right up to the finish line.

Film Buff Friday: Legend
"Legend is an impressive technical achievement. Scott is a perfectionist who takes infinite pains to make things look right."
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
After changing the face of science fiction cinema forever with Alien and Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott turned his visionary eye to the fantasy genre, teaming with writer William Hjortsberg (Angel Heart) to create a breathtaking cinematic fairytale with one of the screen's most astonishingly rendered depictions of Evil. In an idyllic, sun-dappled forest, the pure-hearted Jack (Tom Cruise) takes his true love Princess Lili (Mia Sara) to see a pair of unicorns frolicking at the forest's edge. Little do they know, however, that the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry, in a remarkable make-up designed by The Thing's Rob Bottin) has dispatched his minions to capture the unicorns and sever their horns so that he may plunge the world into everlasting night. After Lili and the unicorns are taken prisoner, Jack must team with a group of forest creatures and descend into Darkness' subterranean lair to face off against the devilish creature before it is too late. Despite a troubled production in which the elaborate full-size forest set was accidentally incinerated and a lengthy post-production that resulted in multiple versions of the film (with competing music scores by Jerry Goldsmith and Tangerine Dream), Legend has since been restored to Scott's original cut and embraced by generations of film fans eager to see a master director's unique vision of a world beyond our imagination.
