Hellbent For Leather - Lady Gaga

Obey Everything I Say
Lady Gaga

While most of us celebrated Easter by having brunch with friends or feasting with family, a handful of others trekked to the California desert to attend the Coachella music festival which was headlined by the one and only Lady Gaga.

Our Lady of Gaga debuted her new single "The Cure" there much to the delight of her fans. Trust me I know first hand they were delighted because, you know, the postings on Facebook about the ditty were nothing short or orgasmic. 

Looking like a dominatrix might have helped put the song over with the audience too. Hey it's Gaga she can do whatever she wants and does.

Personally leather is my look and I can understand the Lady being hellbent for it. Leather it does a body good, especially if you are _____ the blank is yours to fill in, I'm just the tease.

It's Monday time to get on with it and get over it, it's time to bend it like Lady Gaga. 

Ciao!

Stranger Things, Monsterpalooza

The Odd Couple
Ann Robinson & Ron Jeremy

This past weekend an event that is stranger than fiction and on the edge of glory took place in Pasadena, CA. Prepare thy self for Monsterpalooza!

Monsterpalooza celebrates the art of monsters and movie magic. Which brings me to the stranger than fiction part of the event.

Call it When Ann Met Ron or Two Worlds Collide, or whatever your devilish little heart desires. The palooza brought together classic War of the Worlds (1953) star Ann Robinson and an all together unique kind of creature Ron Jeremy. Ron in case you aren't aware is famous for the giant monster inside his pants, a porn star!

When I saw this image of beauty and the hedgehog come through on my Facebook feed via Ann's son, musician Estefan Bravo, well being a giver I just had to post it to kick off the week.

On that note, enjoy your Monday and if you are observant, Happy Passover!

Pretty In Polka Dots, Natalie Portman

Shopping From A-Z
Natalie Portman

Because it's award season, because she is earning raves for her performance as Jacqueline Kennedy, because she can rock a polka dot dress, because she's well, Natalie Portman for Taco Tuesday's sake!

Ms. Portman, Natalie if your nasty was snapped out and about very pregnant and shopping in Los Feliz, CA. See the bag in her hand that says Skylight? That is actually the name of an awesome book store nestled in among the many hipster shops and restaurants in this area of Los Angeles. 

Yes, I have been there, that's how I know.

This photo also serves me as a reminder that I have to see Natalie in Jackie, everyone I know says she is amazing in the film and the film itself isn't too shabby either. She is sure to nab a Best Actress Nomination come Oscar time. 

Happy Saturday Peeps and be proud of your polka dots!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Baby It's Cold Outside
Michael Shinafelt

Since today is my 51st Birthday I thought: "why should I celebrate anything but myself?" Especially since the past four years have been the most challenging of my life and I have survived them. Which has made me stronger, it has also brought me to the best place I have ever been in my entire life. 

Yes, it is a day for me to celebrate indeed. I am someone who has went through a clinical depression and came out the other end of it. It took a lot of work, therapy and self examination. There were a lot of times I never thought my life would ever be good again. 

Let me say to those of you out there who may be in the same situation. Never give up! It may seem bleak, but if you hang in there and give it time, care and mostly be kind to yourself, it will get better. Sure there are things I still want that I don't have, but I know I will get them. Why? Because when you overcome it you will have the power to achieve anything! 

It's 44 degrees at 5:03 ayem here in Los Angels, CA on December 18th 2016, the day of my 51st Birthday. I am thankful for my Family, Friends and most of all my amazing Life! 

My wish for my Birthday is for all of you to have one of the best days of the rest of your lives.

Happy Birthday Everyone!

Double Ryan's, Double The Fun!

Three Way?
Ryan Reynolds & Ryan Gosling

Once upon a time there were two hunky actors name Ryan. One with the last name of Reynolds, the other Gosling. They collided in one truly lust inducing moment at the Critic's Choice Awards held in Santa Monica, CA. 

Reynolds being nominated for Deadpool and Gosling for La La Land. This satiated the fantasy of a menage for many women & gay men.

Personally I would not kick either of them to the curb. But if I had to pick one, just one, I would go with the Ryan named Gosling. Yep, I tend to like my guys a little more edgy, and Gosling has that in abundance.

Of note Reynolds won for Best Actor in a Comedy for Deadpool, while my my boy Gosling did not for La La Land. Yep, Reynolds whipped Gosling's butt in the competition. 

Hey, I don't judge the object of my personal lust on such things. Gosling I am still here for you if you ever need me, I've got your back!

Celebrating Pin-Up Girl With Traci Lords!

OK, so here is the 411 on this past Friday September 23rd, I went to the launch of "Bad Girl" Traci Lords clothing line for Pin-Up Girl at the boutique in Burbank, CA with one of my partners in crime Ms. Jackie Kilmer.

It was an awesome evening! The clothes? Well if I were a woman they would definitely be my groove! Oh, and don't forget there are T-Shirts available for all you guys out there who are Traci fans too. So rather than me going on, and on, here are some photos from a really great evening "Beat It Creep!"

Saturday Schwing! Josh Brolin

Giving Zero Fucks Realness
Josh Brolin

This image of a naked Josh Brolin enjoying his morning coffee during a sunrise in Joshua Tree, CA is brought to by Josh's Instagram page. Translation, He posted it himself.

"Yes" Josh has no shame when it comes to the celebrity skin game. In fact the ruggedly handsome actor offspring of the ruggedly handsome actor James Brolin is apparently proud of what he's got and loves to flaunt it judging by the caption he gave the photo: 

"Once upon a time, there was a dude who didn't give a..."

Cheers to that! So glad you are such a giver Josh!

Schwing!

Star Trek Realness

We Go Together Like...
Chris Pine & John Cho

As the world at large knows this past weekend Comi-Con in San Diego, CA happened. It's the biggest event of it's type that brings fans and stars together and melds them into one big...I was going to say "happy family" but having been I'm going to go with cluster fuck.

On hand to promote Star Trek Beyond were Captain James T. Kirk and Sulu aka the actors known as Chris Pine and John Cho who served up some fanboy realness by attending the Starz party together.

Since the latest Trek movie was number one at the box office this past weekend (how surprising, not!) I bring you an image of the two U.S.S. Enterprise crew members to commemorate Comi-Con 2016.

Enjoy my generosity and have a Trekkie Tuesday!

Don't Bother Me I'm Voting

Today is the California primary, and since I live in CA, Los Angeles,to be exact I will be casting my vote for the candidate of my choosing this morning.

Having moved recently I have not had time to get my change of address in to obtain an absentee ballot so I could vote my preferred way by mail.

Who am I voting for? That does not really matter, the point is you should exercise the fact that you have a vote.

Let's kick off the primary on a high note, literally with the song Election Day by Arcadia featuring the one and only Grace Jones. 

Have fun, be careful and whatever you do, Dump Trump!

Back In Time: Lindsay Lohan

Memories
Lindsay Lohan

Since it's always manic on Monday I thought I would share a Sunday fun day nostalgic blast from the past. I present to you Lindsay Lohan visiting her London home from the Disney classic film The Parent Trap.

For the uninitiated Lindsay had game playing twins Hallie Parker and Annie James. Hallie lived in Napa, CA., with her father Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid).  Annie resided with her mom Elizabeth James (the late Natasha Richardson) in London.

Yes, two adorable little Lindsay's in one crowd pleasing movie. She did what is all the rage these days and took to her Instagram and posted said  photo with the caption:

"A trip down memory lane #sundayfunday, #theparenttrapmovie Annie's house but it was number 7 in the movie."

Awwwwwwwwwwww...Happy Monday and have a Terrific Week!

Cool Riders: Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper

I'll Drive Next Time
Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper 

Move over Felix & Oscar there is a new Odd Couple in town, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper. Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Gaga & Bradley cool rode on a motorcycle recently to have dinner at Giorgio Baldi Italian restaurant in Santa Moinca, CA. I wonder what they could be up to, I'd love to know, wouldn't you?

Collaboration perhaps? Talking about the Gay Agenda? Gaga giving Cooper some fashion tips? Or perhaps Cooper is going to be Gaga's maid of honor when she weds Taylor Kinney?

Whatever the reason this image is crazy cool like a Sunday should be.

Yeah, I went there.

So, the next time you think to yourself: "What would Lady Gaga do?" Well getting on a motorcycle and having dinner with someone seemingly random is one of those things. 

Have a Succulent Sunday!!!

Party Like A Lesbian With Lady Gaga

The Ladies Who Party
Lady Gaga & Friends

Lady Gaga took some time off from Taylor Kinney to indulge her sapphic side. She is an admitted bi-sexual after all and headed West to Palm Springs, CA for the Club Skirts pool party during Dinah Shore Weekend. I am sure about half of the women attending do not even know who Dinah Shore was at this point and juncture, but hey, any excuse to party, riiiiiiiiiight?! 

Gaga hung out and mingled where the girls are and paid a visit to Lindsay Lohan's ex Samantha Ronson who was the pool party DJ. From the photo above it's looks like a good time! I'm thinking I should attend next year...oh right no men allowed. Does this mean you have to check any strap-on's at the door too?

Happy Monday and have a terrific week!

PS Why the Fuck was sapphic spell checked and there was no word suggestions to replace it, that were remotely like it? Fuck never gets flagged as misspelled anymore and sapphic does? Just sayin'...

The Return Of E.G. Daily

After seeing E.G. Daily perform an amazing show at the Whisky A Go Go this past November it was a no brainer she would return for another go at the venue. 

Well yesterday I got an E-mail from the Whisky saying that E.G. will indeed be coming back to play on their legendary stage on the Sunset Strip.

Tickets are on sale now for the July 22nd, yes, you heard me correctly it ain't happening until July. Talk about planning ahead, like really ahead...

E.G. will be joined by Missing Persons this time around. Even though going to see E.G. perform another home run of a concert would be enough reason for me to go, with the addition of Missing Persons I now have a bonus reason!

Missing Persons and E.G. Daily will be performing at the Whisky a go go on Friday July 22nd.   Tickets are available here, be there or miss out!

Making Scientology Seem Sane, "Children of the Stars"

Children Of the Stars coming to DVD on March 8th The strange but true story of a UFO contactee group who relive their past lives  on other planets by making their own science fiction films. "Is that you Mo-Dean? It's me Mo-Dean Is that you Mo-Dean? On a UFO Is that you Mo-Dean? It's me Mo-Dean The interdimensional outer space being"  - Is That You Modean? B-52's

Children of the Stars tells the strange but true story of a UFO contactee group who relive their past lives on other planets by making their own science fiction films. In 1973, Ruth Norman, a 73 year old widow and self described cosmic visionary purchased 67 acres of land in the mountains east of San Diego, California as a landing site for the Space Brothers, emissaries from the Intergalactic Confederation. Nearly 40 years later, a group of dedicated followers still await their arrival.                                                           Children of the Stars                                                                     Trailer  At the Unarius Academy of Science death does not exist, Nicola Tesla was a Space Brother, Satan drove a Cadillac and science fiction is real. To relive their pasts the students film their own sci-fi extravaganzas with the increasingly extravagant Ruth Norman as the star and the lines between fantasy and reality dissolve. Using spectacular footage from original Unarius films and Hollywood Sci-Fi flicks to illustrate, comment upon, and subvert interviews with the remaining Unarius students,Children of the Stars covers millions of years, hundreds of galaxies and dozens of B movies to present a sympathetic look at faith and how people justify it in different ways.

It's Time To Get Frigid With Amy Schumer!

"Hello" No, This Isn't Adele, It's Amy Schumer 

While one definitely never ever in a million years associate the word frigid with Amy Schumer you might think twice while viewing the photo of her all bundled up and chatting on her cell phone while walking in Central Park in New York City.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....wonder what type of conversation she is engaging in? Based on the expression on her face I am willing to bet she is making time for a friend. Why? Because her smile is casual and warm.

All I have to say is this image makes me glad I live in the much more mild and warmer climate of Los Angeles, CA.

That being said, I love myself some Amy Schumer! Yeah, that's correct, want to rumble about it?

Enjoy your Fucking Saturday!

E.G. Daily @ The Whisky A Go Go

This Needs No Explanation

Last night friend and awesome performer E.G. Daily took to the stage for a one night only (but we all hope she does more) special show at the legendary Whisky A Go Go. On the famed stretch of road where she started it all the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, CA. 

E.G. rocked da house! It was great to see her back where she belongs on stage performing music! The audience licked it up as she served up helpings of her 80's hits Say It, Say It and a rock arrangement of Mind Over Matter. Covered Donna Summer's Sunset People and sang one of my personal faves Here It Goes Again plus many more! Also Tommy Pickles made a surprise appearance.

So let's not waste any more time, here are some photos from last night!

Vanessa Hudgens Goes Knott's

Vanessa Hudgens & Friends

With Halloween only twenty-nine days away Vanessa Hudgens got an early start on the festivities yesterday, when the high holy day of October was thirty days away.

Vanessa went completely Knott's in Buena Park, CA at Knott's Scary Farm. 

Dressed as a Black Cat (I know what you are thinking, I chose not to go there) - she struck a pose with two The Walking Dead types. But she did not seem to fear them, she looks like she is having a blast. Is there something we should know about you that you aren't telling us Vanessa?

Anyway I hope you are all busying preparing thyself and enjoying the season of the witch!

T.G.I.F! Thank God It's Frightening!

Have Halloween fun with Vanessa on Instagram:

Kiss Me Kate

Wedded Bliss:
Kate Pierson & Monica Coleman

"The Love Shack is a little old place where, We can get together" - Love Shack, B-52's

Congratulations go out today to Kate Pierson of the B-52's on getting married to her longtime girlfriend Monica Coleman over the weekend in Hawaii! They have been together since 2003.

The B-52's are one of my favorite groups. I remember attending the CD release party for Cosmic Thing at the now defunct club Probe in Los Angeles, CA.

It was an exciting evening and the crowd was treated to a live performance by the group who arrived to the party in style on a Cadillac Convertible.

Pierson addressed accepting herself to Spin in it's February 2015 issue:

"All our friends — so many friends are gay or lesbian and transgender. We’re just in that world. We all went through the devastating time of the AIDS crisis and I think that galvanized us to be more activists — AIDS activists. I think through that struggle we’ve tried to do a lot of benefits and stuff. I think the meaning of ‘gay' became more solidified," she told the mag. "One of the things the B-52s wanted to accomplish was for people to embrace their difference and encourage people to be who they are and accept themselves."

Feel the love with the B-52's at:
