Current Mood

Knowing Me, Knowing You
Christopher Meloni, Dylan McDermott & Tamara Taylor

Is it my imagination or has Law & Order: Organized Crime finally got into it's groove? No it isn't my imagination at all I'm happy to say, and I just did.

The whole Elliot Stabler, Richard Wheatley obsessing over each other thing is giving me chills that are multiplying.

Bear witness to this still from last weeks episode. Nothing stalker like about that...Not!!!

Going into another unpredictable week of 2022 this is my Current Mood. What mood you say? Unpredictable and somewhat on the edge is what's happening in the world at present. This photo captures that to perfection.

So gird your loins Minions and get ready for the last week of the first month of 2022. Try not to let the rhythm get you, capice?!

Current Mood

Don't Call Me "Baby." I'm Not Your "Baby."
Michelle Pfeiffer

I follow @NotableHistory on Twitter which serves up Hollywood Vintage Photo realness. Well when this classic of Michelle Pfeiffer came through from the film Scarface I stopped and took it in for a bit, it gave me all the feels, a mood if you will.

Thus my Current Mood about 2022 is capsulized at this moment in time by this vintage image of Michelle Pfeiffer portraying Elvira Hancock in Scarface.

It's all the explanation I'm going to offer, or give, so don't ask for anything more, capice?

All one has to do is take the image in to get a read off it and understand innately where I am coming from.

Hey, if you know, know, now it's time to say goodbye...

Goodbye.

Wouldn't You Give Your Tongue To A Friend?!
Dylan McDermott & Christopher Meloni

Sometimes you just gotta give someone the tongue. This is obviously an open to interpretation statement and should be treated as such, so proceed with caution when utilizing it.

Dylan McDermott took to Twitter with this post from the set of Law & Order: Organized Crime slapping it with the caption: "This is what I have to put up with everyday."

Well I don't know about you but I certainly wouldn't mind Christopher Meloni giving me the tongue every which way, and loose.

Yeah, Dylan it's hard out there for a mob boss.

Reach out and give someone your tongue today, it will definitely add something unique to it. While I'm not sure exactly what that is, think of it as an adventure 😀

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...

Erotica
Madonna

"Give it up do as I say! Give it up and let me have my way!" - Madonna, Erotica

While I did not catch the VMA's last night, I actually didn't know they were on. That being stated I wouldn't have watched anyway, I'll catch the performances I wanna see on YouTube thank you very much. 

There was as per usual a lot of chatter about Madonna's appearance on it on the good ole Social Media platforms. Thus I checked it out.

I likey this Mae West vibe she is giving off. I also likey that it harkens back to the album that I think is her masterpiece Erotica. 

Heading into the week this completely embodies my Current Mood. That's correct Minions I am Master of my domain (Hey Seinfeld fans, holla!) 

The more you know...

"Once you put your hand in the flame, you can never be the same..."

White Heat
Chloe Sevigny

Hello Minions, for some reason only known to the corners of my mind, this photo of Chloe Sevigny looking chill in white and hailing a cab in NYC captures my Current Mood.

I'm sure it's because no matter what she does, Chloe always comes off so cool and confident. Two qualities that compliment each other to perfection.

Seriously, who looks that good during the summer heat in NYC? I ask you, I asked c'mon now answer me. What's that? You agree, good!!!

Thus today I saw we all aspire to bend it like Chloe and let her guide our collective Current Mood.

She's got a ticket to ride...

Current Mood

The Glam Team
David Bowie & Catherine Deneuve

Well Hello Monday...we have arrived at yet another day in the continuing saga: What the Hell is going to happen today in 2020?

I don't know, but it sure isn't bound to be dull, or glamorous. Thus bringing me to my  Current Mood, I have been wanting something cool and glam in my life, which brought one of my favorite films to mind The Hunger. That was one cool/glam vampire movie, thus I decided to Google images from it.

This being stated, while this image is not from the film, it is of it's co-stars David Bowie & Catherine Deneuve. Nothing says cool or glamorous quite like the these two and this is them simply hanging out. Whether it was during filming or not is unclear, but this shot is great and fills my need for some escapism glam style at this moment, right here, right now.

Also, there were several other gems I came across, like some publicity shots I had never seen. However this one best sums my Current Mood up for this Monday. 

Come with me and escape...

Current Mood

This photo of Cher protesting the hijacking of the USPS by the evil bitch baby known as Donald Trump (I will never refer to him as President) sums up my Current Mood: "Snap Out Of It!"

For those that may not understand the reference the phrase "Snap Out Of It" was uttered by Cher in the movie she won the Oscar for Moonstruck.

Now that we have that point made, if you don't care about what is happening to our government at present "Snap Out Of It!"

If you do not care about what is happening to the environment "Snap Out Of It!"

If you don't care about racism "Snap Out Of It!"

This list could go on at great length, but I believe my Current Mood has been explained with clarity. 

I will leave this here have a great day and if you haven't already "Snap Out Of It!" and buy some stamps, I have.

Current Mood

When I woke this morning I was feeling many things. Some good, some bad, some happy and some sad. "Yes" I know I just came off like a Dr. Seuss book, moving forward I stumbled upon this image of Russell Brand as Captain Hook taken by Annie Leibovitz for a Disney ad campaign.

This image encapsulates my, drum roll please...Current Mood. I am not going to break it down into detail for you, I believe the generalizations above are enough. Besides I don't want to be accused of trying to control you by planting ideas into your head, I want you all to have your own unique take on this photo.

You've got it, I'm all about freedom and creativity, Thus on that note be free my Minions and do it your way, make your dreams come true!

Moody
Lady Gaga

So even though there was a ban on fireworks in Los Angeles County yesterday, plenty of them were illegally ignited. Luckily no major fires were started and no one (that I've heard of) was injured. 

I actually just heard one go off as I am sitting here at my keyboard clacking away. Thus this brings me to my Current Mood.

This image of  Lady Gaga sums it up perfectly. My mood is indescribable and sort of on edge much like this Pippi Longstocking  meets Orphan look that Gaga is sporting.

You know Orphan as in the horror movie Orphan and if you don't know Pippi Longstocking Google that, OK?

Thus I think I will sit with this feeling and make it work. Time to 5th of July Minions!

Hump Day & Chill

Current Mood
Kyle MacLachlan

While on Instagram yesterday I spied this whimsical image of Kyle MacLachlan in my feed, obviously I follow him on there. It made me smile and I felt it captures my Current Mood quite nicely on this July 1st Hump Day & Chill Thank You very much.

It also got me thinking about one of my favorite films of all time Showgirls, in which Kyle played the powerful sleaze Zack Carey. A film which that was an embarrassment to him at the time, but he is glad it took on a life of it's own as a "crowd-pleaser."

One of my fond memories of Showgirls aside from MacLachlan's delightfully slimy portrayal of Zack is the many shots of his supple booty. "Yes" Kyle has a nice full fleshy bottom that is a joy to behold.

Thus I surfed over to Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things just knowing I would see those gratuitous images of the MacLachlan bum. Lo and behold I did! Turns out Tye revisited Showgirls this past April with many shots of Kyle's backside.

So let's celebrate July with some buns to Hump Day & Chill to, get your red hot MacLachlan Buns by hitting the link below!!!

"Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now, I been feeling it since 1966, now, Might be over now, but I feel it still" - Feel It Still, Portugal The Man 

Today's Current Mood is brought to you by Gerard "The Stud" Butler & Portugal, The Man. Together they perfectly summarize my state of being, or do they?

Confused? Why? It all makes perfect sense in every little way if you think about it, but not too much.

Explain myself? No, mon cheri I'll never explain again, that's a fact.

Remember what the Dormouse said: Feed Your Head...

Tea For 2
Billy Idol & Miley Cyrus

"In the midnight hour babe more, more, more, With a rebel yell more, more, more" Rebel Yell, Billy Idol

Yep, this pretty much sums it up for me today. Rebel Yell by Billy Idol is my current state of mind.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it simply means it's time to break out minions and go for it! I have officially activated my inner beast mode, he's ready to rumble, how about you?

What's that you ask? Why is Miley Cyrus in the photo with Billy? Well they did a duet of Rebel Yell at an iHeartRadio concert and it's quite rousing. 

Thus that is what I am going to bequeath on you today. Billy & Miley tearing it up on Rebel Yell!

TBT: Blonde Jock
Michael Shinafelt

Today I am in a Throwback Thursday state of mind, hence the photo of myself I chose to use. "Yes" I was once young bleached blonde Guy full of ambition and a few other things 😈 Honestly I am happier and like myself more now than I did then. The old adage is true "Youth is Wasted on the Young" - Unless your Miley Cyrus, then that's a whole other story...

Well It Chapter Two is number one at the BO, no surprise there. Friends whose opinions I trust have not liked it. I honestly found the first one tedious and not scary in the least, I will be sitting this one out. I'll wait till it hits cable thus having the option to switch channels it I so choose 🎈

I had such a challenging week, a snappers falling out eyeball is a welcome change 

Smells Like Pumpkin Spice Spirit...Boo!

If you have an unusual, obscure name, don't get arrogantly correct people when they pronounce it wrong. Your parents F#cked you over, deal with it!

Attention, you know I just found what your looking for

This coming Wednesday September 18th American Horror Story: 1984 premieres. Honestly I love that they are taking on 80's slasher movies. Anything would be better than last season.

In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I remember the time I met the late, great David Bowie. "Yes" I nearly wet myself.

Woman Crush of the Week - Lizzo 

"Many people say" is a Trump code for racist lie coming at ya!

Now that Marie Osmond is on The Talk I really need to watch it at least once

"Bitch, We're Gay, Not Vampires!" Sh!t Gays say to religious fanatics waving a cross at them...

Michael, as in me, myself and I says: Relax (see Frankie isn't the only one who can do it, just sayin')

Can't Fight This Feeling!
Lisa Rinna 

This photo of Lisa Rinna motoring to a yoga class with a T-Shirt slogan that reads "Good Vibes" is my post Labor Day Current Mood.

I feel very zen at present as I sit at the computer in the home stretch of my recovery from surgery. 

Lisa is currently embroiled in shooting Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We shall see how the show does post the hemorrhaging of ruling Queen Bee, the other Lisa, Lisa Vanderpump. 

They've added two newcomers instead of one to replace LVP, Garcelle Beauvis & Rinna friend and ally Sutton Stracke. Which is leading to speculation that Erika Jayne may be out this season or demoted to friend of the show via a recent cast announcement for the upcoming season minus her name.

Oh the drama! Season 10 has barely begun shooting and woot there it is! 

Honestly I'll take a yoga mat and some "Good Vibes" over drama any day.

Namaste.
