Just Because...Nyle DiMarco

My What A Big Snake You Have!!!
Nyle DiMarco

Just Because he won America's Next Top Model & Dancing With The Stars, Just Because he has shattered barriers and stereotypes of what it means to be deaf and Just Because he has a really big snake...Ladies & Gentlemen it's Nyle DiMarco!

If there was ever a motivation to learn sign language, Nyle would be it for me. 

While Nyle slayed with his pose striking ways on ANTM, he blew us away on DWTS! He moved like a pro, even though he has never heard music once in his entire life. He has way more rhythm than me that's for sure.

So when I found this provocative image of Mr. DiMarco and a really big snake on the WWW I just had to post it. While Nyle is amazing at so many things, lest we forget, he is also a fine piece of Man Candy.

Lick him up peeps!

Michael's Musings

Selfie Portrait
Michael Shinafelt

"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are foot steps on the moon" 

The above quote is life! Read it an absorb it. If you ever told me at 52 I would be my personal best when I was younger, I would have laughed. 

Well surprise, surprise I recently dropped 40 lbs. "Yes" I blew up to 213  and am now down to 173 lbs. Hence the selfie portrait this week. It's me right here, right now. My next goal is to drop to 165. I've got this, and so do you whatever it is you want.Time to get busy!

Life would be so easy if we could all be insincere, luckily most of us can't

Don't go chasing butterflies, especially biracial, bisexual ones

The RHOBH reunion part ince aired this weak, um, I mean week

You, yes you, are dirty and need your booty washed out by cloud soap

Say it, forget it. Write it, regret it.

Don't you love farce? "No" personally I love Yellow Baby Buggy Bumpers 

Just read a headline that states: Taylor Swift Teases - OK, tell me something new

Shout out to Kyla Coleman the recent winner of America's Next Top Model. I admire her fearlessness.

Just Because...Ashley Graham

Strike A Pose
Ashley Grham

When it comes to being a boss model as you can see Ashley Graham does not mesh around.

The plus size model was werking it for the cameras in Hollywood this past week shooting a campaign for her line of swimsuits.

I love Ashley! So got the look, not to mention the bod, confidence and take no prisoners attitude. No wonder she is successful as she is.

She was especially hawt in the latest incarnation of America's Next Top Model on VH-1. Great judge completely fierce and fearless. 

There you have it Ashley Graham, just because I can, and she is worth it!

Like A Black Widow Baby

Rock Out With Your Shark Out!
Rita Ora

Until recently the most I ever knew about Rita Ora was her appearance on the Iggy Azalea song Black Widow, which, given my taste in music, I surprisingly like.

Cut to the CW Network dropping America's Next Top Model from it's line-up and VH-1 picking it up. They do a major overhaul of the show which includes retiring Tyra Banks as the host and bringing in, drum roll please....Rita Ora.

I must say Rita is the breath of fresh make-up the show needed to put a strut back in it's catwalk. Not to mention I have learned more about who she is, and she is an interesting individual.

When I spied this photo of her out and about in London with a knitted shark sweater on, I just had to post it, the whole outfit pops to me and so does the woman wearing it.

Soooooooooo stylish she is....

If you haven't caught the latest incarnation of ANTM check it, don't wreck it on VH-1 and catch lovely Rita and the rest of the people in model-ville.

Nyle & Peta For The Mirror Ball

Nyle, Never Fear Peta Is Here!

Although I do not watch Dancing With The Stars with rapt attention, I do follow it enough to be aware of what is happening on the celebrity dance off.

Well no real surprise America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco and his dance partner Peta Murgatroyd have made it to the finals and are competing against some other people that really don't stand a chance against them.

Yes, Nyle and Peta will win the Mirror Ball Trophy and deserve to. Some may think Nyle being deaf is getting him sympathy votes. While I agree his being deaf is part of the reason he will win, it is also part of the reason he should win.

Not only does Nyle not dance like someone who does not have the ability to hear, he dances like a pro. He has also performed dances that remind us of his disability as well, even brought us into his world with a dance to no music. Last night he danced blindfolded.

DiMarco is a superstar on the dance floor who could have been content to turn in functional performances and still have gotten this far. Instead he gives us excellence like no other while all the time reminding the audience where that desire to push and exceed boundaries comes from without any cloying sentimentality.

These two will, and deserve to win! To the other contestants in the finale? Enjoy the ride.
