Fly On The Wall

Talk of the Town
Billy Porter & Bethenny Frankel 

Well here is what has got to be one of the most epic post Emmy, Governor's Ball photo ops I have evuh seen. I think I will title it: When a volcano meets a tornado..."Yes" it's when Billy Porter met Bethenny Frankel.

It is after all the first openly gay black man to ever win the Emmy Trophy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Pose) and a self made millionaire who used her platform on The Real Housewives of New York City to propel herself there. 

OMG! Can you imagine THAT conversation?! Seriously two powerful, bigger than life personalities forming one big nuclear blast! 

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess from the visual evidence that Billy is a fan of Bethenny & vice versa. 

Thus I have bequeathed you this weeks "Fly On The Wall" moment. You know what went down between these two was anything but boring. In fact I bet if we were privy to it, it was quite enlightening.

Yeah, I've got a sixth sense, and not in the "I see dead people" kind of way. 

Time to buzz off!

"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" -Peter Finch, Network 1976

Never has a quote from a brilliant film seemed more relevant than now. Sidney Lumet Directed what was then considered a satire. Oh how times have changed prophetic would be more exact. Faye Dunaway was brilliant in this as well. This is my current mood, and I own it.

I'm sorry the old Michael can't interact with you now. Why? Because he's dead. Yep, here we go minions! 

Your Mom likes to be tied up...the more you know

I don't like your little games (or your big ones)

Can I just say the BH 90210 reboot is wildly entertaining? I just said it, so there!

Bitches, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

Shelby is a debutante, don't be Shelby she is boring AF

Thinking about karma not drama (seriously drama is for losers)

If you haven't yet take a trip "Over The Rainbow" you know that place where happy little blue birds fly...

Hallelujah I'm a Witch - I'm going to do you like I want to

Just Because...RHONY Season 11 Taglines

Absolutely Fabulous
The Real Housewives of New York City

With season 11 of The Real Housewives of New York City approaching on Wednesday March 6 on Bravo I thought I would get silly on Sunday. (say that three times fast)

The new opening taglines have been revealed. Normally I would not post about such nonsense, but there is one in particular I LOVE!!! However to play fair I will post them all and save the best for last.

Here we go...

Luann de Lesseps: "I plead guilty…to being fabulous."

Ramona Singer: "The only thing I'll settle for is more."

Tinsley Mortimer: "Game, set, now, I need a match."

Bethenny Frankel: "When life gives me limes, I make margaritas."

Dorinda Medley: "If you've got a problem with me, it's your problem!"

And my favorite goes to, drum roll please...Sonja Morgan! 

Sonja Morgan: "People call me over the top, but lately I prefer being a bottom."

Leave it to Sonja to make a gay joke, and an astute one at that. Say what you will about her, but she's fearless!

New York State of Mind

10 Years Old
l-r
Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley & Carole Radziwill

Tis Monday peeps and I'm feeling an East Coast kind of vibe. You know that take no prisoners, no BS feeling?

Perhaps it's because I just watched the Season 10 premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City. 

Nobody does it better than these bitches when it comes to putting it all out there and giving zero f#cks. They make The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like rank amateurs in the drama department.

I especially love that the season premiere had a Halloween party in it thrown by the Queen of making it nice Dorinda Medley that will go down in infamy. Why? Because Luann de Lesseps showed up in costume and um, slightly darker skin, as the legendary Diana Ross. Yeah, she got some major cajones! 

Also I must confess, I really like Bethenny Frankel, even though she can get on my nerves from time to time, she is my spirit animal.

To all my fellow RHONY fans I know what you will be doing Wednesday night!

Michael's Musings

Reach The Beach
Michael Shinafelt

Hello Peeps! Wow this past week has been really great! How great was it Michael?! Well let me spill, there was a partial eclipse of the sun in Los Angeles, I saw my friend E.G. Daily perform raw (acoustic) at the Hotel Cafe, I went to the IT Experience in Hollywood and Donald Trump is still a F#ck Weasel....

It's time to extrapolate, now!

Best name ever for a club: Hissy Fist (if this confuses you, ask) 

We only had a partial, eclipse that is, in Los Angeles. Damn not a total one! I was walking down Hollywood Blvd. at the time you would think peeps were the Walking Dead when it happened.

Warrior Juan, discuss

I got stage fright during my Mandolin auditions. Truth or Consequences???

When all else fails tell people: A Bear Kidnapped Me 

Poor Little Kook

I know I posted about this, but ooooops! I'm gonna do it again. The IT Experience in Hollywood is a hoot and a holler and one eighth, yee haw!

E.G. Daily, Raw

Nobody does it better than E.G. Daily, raw! (meaning acoustic)

That time I overslept. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Bethenny Frankel, that is all

How many Donald Trump's does it take to screw in a light bulb?

I wish you relevance

Michael's Monday Musings

Don't Bother Me, I'm Basking
Michael Shinafelt

Today, rather than devote space to one thing I decided to give it up to many things. My impressions of this past week. Are you ready? Fasten your seat belts, because it's going to come hard and fast!

Congratulations to RuPaul on winning his first Emmy as reality TV show host. Much deserved, he is so good at what he does.

People who whistle in public places need to be silenced. It's really annoying.

My condolences to the Arquette family. I have encountered Alexis over the years he was a sweet soul. I am sorry for your loss.

I am loving the Real House Wives of New York reunion shows. Especially Bethenny Frankel for bringing bitchy back! So glad Jules Wainstein is not returning, I couldn't believe how much vagina she brought to the table.

Living in Southern California is the best! The weather of late has been so amazing.

Pretty Little Liars summer finale has only been little over a week ago and damn I miss that show already. Hurry up April 2017!

American Horror Story Season 6 premieres this Wednesday. That will fill the "Liars" void.

Nothing is better than a great spin class, luckily I have found two instructors at Gold's Gym Hollywood that fit the bill. Cheers Michelle and Jessica you are the best!

People yelling "Beat It Creep" at me when I am walking down the street wearing the T-Shirt Traci Lords gave me from her clothing line with the saying on it is always good fun.

I'm ready for the election to be over, seriously it feels like it's been going as long as I've been alive!

RHONYC: "It Still Looks Like A Big Ball Sack"

Got Vagina?
Real Housewives Of New York City

"It still looks like a big ball sack. My vagina definitely doesn't match my personality. I don't identify with her at all. Is my vagina going to go back to the perfect pistachio" - Jules Wainstein

This season on the The Real Housewives of New York City it's a whole lot of vagina!
One of my BFF's and fellow "Housewives" fan Karen Castrischer-Stegall stated it best: 
"Why is it necessary for a vagina to be a story line?!"

Ratings I am assuming? It all started with my spirit animal Bethenny Frankel's excessive bleeding. Then moved over to Jules Wainstein's vaginal tear (great name for a Drag Queen, right Karen?!)

Thus the insightful quote from Ms. Wainstein above...

Got vagina questions?

Well tune into The Real Housewives of New York City - Countess Luann is above it all, hey she's getting married after four weeks of knowing her fiance', her vagina is obviously just fine!
