Bad Ass - Justin Trudeau

Human Rights
Justin Trudeau & Antoni Porowksi

When Rolling Stone Magazine ran the cover story on Justin Trudeau proclaiming "Why Can't He Be Our President?" I definitely felt the yearning for just that. America really does deserve someone, and something better than our current dictatorship. 

"Yes" Trudeau is easy on the eyes too. Good looking and have you seen those images online, ya know the close ups of his supple bubble...OK I digress, his looks and booty are just a bonus. 

Just when you thought Justin couldn't get any more bad ass witness him riding in the Montreal Pride Parade alongside Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski.

I'm not sure exactly what Canadians think of Trudeau's overall leadership, one thing is for sure he is obviously a Human Rights advocate and that is something I can get behind. Not like our current state of affairs where we have a leader who thinks no one should have any rights, except Straight Rich Caucasian Males.

I leave you with this Tuesday Thought -

"To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity" Nelson Mandela

It's My Birthday & I'll...

Birthday Selfie
Michael Shinafelt

It's my Birthday & I'll say what I want to. What did you think I was going to say cry??? Then you obviously don't know me too well. 

So I guess I need to be all reflective and stuff, correct? Of course I do! Today I turn the ripe age of 52, and I am proud of it. Why you may ask? Because the wind is high, it blows my mind, that's why! "Yes" I threw in that lyric reference to F#ck with you youngsters out there.

In all seriousness it's because I'm feeling myself. Translation - I know who I am and what I want, and I'm coming for you 2018, so bend over and take it!

The image above I took this morning, right before I got on the computer to write this post. Why am I in the shower with a glam face filter you might ask? Because I have lost 24 lbs and counting minions, not to mention my body is really tight. 

While my face has a filter, my body does not. I have gone from 213 lbs to 189 lbs and I expect to lose more and get even more ripped thanks to my new love boxing. I punched a bag and I liked it!

Along with boxing I spin 3 -4 times a week, go to yoga once a week and watch what I eat. This is no small accomplishment when one reaches a certain age. 

Thus today I am celebrating my 52 year old body. I am in some of the best shape I have ever been and guess what? Yep, I'm feeling myself today, and everyday.That is always a reason to celebrate!

Keep up with me I'm bad ass at:

Just Because...Milo Ventimiglia

Bad Ass!
Milo Ventimiglia

Just Because it's November 1st. Just Because I feel pretty and Just Because beauty is where you find it. I gift you with an image of Milo Ventimiglia leaving a gym in West Hollywood, CA. 

Actually I was in WeHo as we locals affectionately(?) call it last night for the annual Halloween Carnival that happens there. Wonder what gym it was that Milo, The Stud was exiting, hmmmmmm...???

While I am so not a fan of This Is Us, yeah, I know. I did try to stomach, I mean watch it, once and turned it off about a quarter of the way through. I am always a fan of man candy

Busted! Today that what I am all about is the shallow end of the gene pool. 

What can I say, sometimes you feel like a slut, sometimes you don't.

Happy November 1st minions!

That's So Raven

Rave-Symone on The View

While The View is a show I avoid at all costs I do love Ms. Raven-Symone for a myriad of reasons. 

Having caught her on the show by happenstance (it's what they had on TV in the waiting room) I may now tune in once in a while to check her thoughts out. She has brings a sparkle to the show that has sorely been lacking for years and I really respect her opinions and intelligence, Raven is bad ass!

And if she gets her way on her request to have Caitlyn Jenner on the show you KNOW I will be glued to the TV for that one!

Here is what she has to say on the subject -

Source E! News:

"I think Caitlyn Jenner is a very brave woman," the 29-year-old TV personality told E! News. "I think she has done a lot of things that will inspire many other people in the world to journey down their truth path...and I'm sure she would love us!"

That's so Raven, and I love her for it!

Happy Hump Day! Matt Bomer In Hawaii

Matt Bomer at Your Service

Nothing says Hump Day like a photo of actor Matt Bomer frolicking in his swim trunks while walking in Hawaii.

Matt is part of the cast of American Horror Story: Hotel...Hell to the yes!

I thought this would make everyone's Wednesday a little brighter and help you get over that bad ass hump.

Enjoy!

'Tis The Season For Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah Rulz! 

I have always loved Queen Latifah! When I first saw her in Set It Off I was a fan!

She has always brought something unique and interesting to every film she has graced. Not to mention she is one bad ass singer!

The news that her talk show has been cancelled is sad indeed. This being stated Ms. Latifah proves why she has the title of Queen.

Although the cancelled talk show will still run through March, since it has been given the boot the crew is no longer necessary. The Queen is using her own money to pay the show's crew through the Holidays.

"Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same," the message continued. "You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show. We truly changed people's lives for the better. So…stay positive, stay strong, and most important, stay open...There is so much more God has in store!"

The Queen concluded with: "This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey," she wrote. "The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome…believe in yourself and continue to fly."

What's up next? Queen Latifah is getting great buzz for her portrayal of legendary blues singer Bessie Smith in HBO's upcoming Bessie. I can't wait! 

Long live the Queen!

Celebrate! "Better Than Dancing" With Matthew Duffy

• 

  Singer/Songwriter/Performer and "Entertain Me" fave Matthew Duffy is back with a groovy new single and video "Better Than Dancing."
• Being the inquisitive one that I am I had to ask Matthew to give me some insight into his latest musical foray, and here is what the always interesting Mr. Duffy had to say:
• "I started my career in NYC as a ballet and modern dancer and I wanted to celebrate my dance history. I wanted to celebrate the way dancing sets you free and transports you to a place outside of yourself. For me, true freedom is "raising your hands up to the sky and letting the music take you high, the dancer featured in the video represents that.

• I also wanted to highlight he NYC club scene - balls, femme, butch, voguing, and the dance featured represents all dance forms and the underground spirit of dancing.
• The opening quote of the video - YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU DANCE is from the ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev who was a bad ass and an virtuoso who I have always admired since I was young."
  

Time to take a trip Matthew Duffy style...!
