It's May the 4th and you know what that means, it's Star Wars Day! Here I am in the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge part of Disneyland celebrating...

May The 4th Be With You!

Film Buff Friday: America As Seen By A Frenchman

At the end of the 1950s, celebrated French documentarian François Reichenbach (F for Fake, Portrait: Orson Welles), whose lens captured the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Johnny Hallyday, spent eighteen months traveling the United States, documenting its diverse regions, their inhabitants and their pastimes. The result, America is Seen by a Frenchman, is a wide-eyed - perhaps even naïve - journey through a multitude of different Americas, filtered through a French sensibility and serving as a fascinating exploration of a culture that is both immediately familiar and thoroughly alien. Prison rodeos; Miss America pageants; visits to Disneyland and a school for striptease; a town inhabited solely by twins; rows of newborns in incubators, like products on an assembly line - all these weird and wondrous sights, and more, are captured, sans jugement, by Reichenbach's camera, aided by whimsical narration (provided by, among others, Jean Cocteau) and a jaunty musical score by the late, great Michel Legrand (Une femme est une femme). Titled L'Amérique insolite - literally "unusual America" - in its native tongue, America as Seen by a Frenchman lovingly renders the various eccentricities of Americana circa the mid-twentieth century, and proves the old adage that reality really is stranger than fiction.

Hello Young Lovers...

They Don't Call It "The Magic Kingdom" For Nothing
Ashley Benson & Cara Delevingne

Since I'm feeling quite Frisky Frolic and optimistic in general despite a certain evil Ooompa Loompa I thought today I would illustrate this by posting a photo of my favorite couple. "Yes" it's Cara Delevingne & Ashley Benson at the "Happiest Place On Earth" Disneyland!

Look how adorbs the twosome is shuttered on Main Street in the amusement park 😃

Anyway, gotta love these two. They are very much what I would call couples goals for my own personal reasons which I will never disclose, unless you decide to go there with me in a one on one type thing. If you get my drift and I think you must.

So let's get the feels this first Friday of 2020 and raise a glass and enjoy life, live it to the fullest and take no prisoners!

Now about that Oompa Loompa situation...

Come On Get Happy!

Happiness Is...
Lizzo

"Hello world, here's a song that we're singin', C'mon get happy, A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin', We'll make you happy" - Come On Get Happy, The Partridge Family 

Today I am channeling Lizzo celebrating her sister's Birthday from the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! I was there just two weeks ago and had a grand time, and "Yes" like Lizzo, I got happy!

With all the strife going on in the world around us, please remember to do the one thing that counts most, make yourself and others smile, everyone, smiles.

It doesn't cost a thing and it feels good for all parties involved. Lizzo personally makes me smile every time I see her do anything. Thus I hereby decree Lizzo the mascot for getting happy.

Enjoy your day 100% minions...!

Puppy Love

The Feels
LeAnn Rimes

Yesterday I tackled the Holiday Celebration at Disneyland - "Yes" of course yours truly did not have to pay to hit both Disneyland and California Adventure. 

Thus today I am going down a different path, a less chaotic one, it's time for puppies...Yay! Today's puppies are brought to you by the lovely and talented LeAnn Rimes. See LeAnn have fun with the pups while visiting the Hallmark Channels "Home & Family" at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Here's your dose of the feels I keep threatening to give you, and now I have. That's the way I roll, I am a giver 😇

Remember this song? Remember how inaudible the lyrics were? So much so that "Revved up like a deuce" sounded like, and everyone thought they were singing "Wrapped up like a douche?" Yeah, that pretty much says it all. Time to slide, minions...

Just Because... Evil Queens

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...Bite Me!
Alec Baldwin & Olivia Wilde 

With the Pride Celebration that happened this past weekend in Los Angeles, somehow Evil Queens are on my mind..go figure. As evil as many Queens in Los Angeles can be, none will ever top (pun intended) the biggest bad ass of them all, Queen Grimhilde from Snow White. 

Thus I present to you Olivia Wilde as her royal evilness and Alec Baldwin as her magic mirror on the wall. As captured through famed photographer Annie Leibovitz's lens for an ad campaign for Disneyland.

That's correct boys this Evil Queen will do more than throw shade and give you two snaps. She will outright hunt your ass down and kill you. Killer Queens from Outer Space, now there's a movie I would go see!

So Just Because Queens are on my mind, it does not mean they can't be deliciously evil fun. Instead of snarky and lame.

Mic Drop!

Fishy Friday

Julianne Moore & Michael Phelps
The Little Mermaid

Annie Liebovitz

"Love to explore that shore above? Out of the sea, Wish I could be, Part of that world" Part Of Your World "The Little Mermaid" 

OK, it's not exactly Fishy Friday, but The Little Mermaid Friday didn't quite have the same flow to it 😉

For no other reason than whimsy and fun I present you with this image of Julianne Moore as The Little Mermaid, with an assist from Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps.

It was part of an ad campaign for, duh, Disneyland shot by famed photog Annie Leibovitz.

This is a stunningly beautiful portrait that also captures the essence of The Little Mermaid longing to be part of the world above the sea.

After all everyone longs for something they don't have my minions...so we can all relate.

What is it you desire, tell me, I promise to keep it between us, pinky swear 👀

Puppy Love, Orlando Bloom

A Boy And His Dog
Orlando Bloom

Now that all the fuss has died down over Orlando Bloom exposing his impressive package (I say if you've got it, flaunt it) on the beach the focus has now turned to him promoting his upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean movie Dead Men Tell No Tales. It's the phrase the creepy skull says to you just before you plunge downward into the Pirate Pit at Disneyland.

Focus has also turned to Orlando's softer, sweeter, non-sexual side as well. 

Witness him walking his adorable little puppy on the beach in Malibu. See how cute the puppy is? See how cute Orlando is? Isn't puppy love grand? Makes you forget his glorious exposure for a second or two, but in the back of your mind and on the internet, it will always be there when you need a peek.

In this given moment however, Orlando's puppy love is here for you!

Saturday Swoon - Zac Efron

California Dreamin'
Zac Efron

With the big screen go at Baywatch opening May 25th there has been a whole lotta Zac Efron going down. So to speak, but one can dream can't one? 

See Zac on a billboard, See Zac on a talk show, See Zac running down the beach half naked showing off his abs, run Zac, run! 

While I am 100% sure I will not being viewing the actual movie I sure don't mind seeing those Efron abs and those baby blues saturating my retinas everywhere I gaze. Heck don't you think they should have just made a movie about Zac's impossibly sculpted abs and dubbed it Ab Watch? Think about it, but not too hard.

Thus I leave you with this fantastical image of a man/boy named Zac and his killer abs for some Saturday delight. Who says Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth?

It's Santa Mickey!

Not A Creature Was Stirring, Except For Mickey Mouse!
Ryan Reynolds, Mickey Mouse & Blake Lively

Santa made me post this. Blame it on the spirit of Christmas taking possession of me, but I just had to post this way too cute photo of Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively striking a pose with Santa Mickey in front of the castle at Disneyland. 

Apparently the twosome were there celebrating their daughter James' second Birthday. Happy, Happy James! 

What made me cross over to the saccharine side? If you have ever been to Disneyland at Christmas time you would understand just how much more magical it is this time of year. It can turn any Scrooge into a Tiny Tim. I was there last year in December and had a truly enchanted day. 

The theme park's halls are decked with the most festive of decor and the happy factor is off the hook!

Speaking of which, Happy Saturday to and to all a good one!

PS Although I had a blast, I must say I am a bit grouchy that I did not get a photo with Santa Mickey too...Bah Humbug!

"I Am Cornholio" Michael Buble'

Michael Buble
Auditions For Gay Porn

"I am the great Cornholio! I need T.P. for my bunghole!" -  Beavis "Beavis and Butthead" 

Yes, Corn Hole is the first thing I thought when I saw this image of singer Michael Buble' at Disneyland.

The second thing I though is: "He must not have tonsils anymore" or "Perhaps he is auditioning for gay porn" see how you can add any take you want onto this shot???

Apparently this has got certain segments of the web upset and freaked out. Because they obviously have nothing better to do. Me? I am posting it because I think it is hilarious and who does not love a man with a great sense of humor? I know I do. 

Obviously Buble' saw the paparazzi and wanted to have some fun with them. He also most likely figured the image would go viral and that there were enough gullible people in the world to actually not be in on the joke.

Smart & funny, that's a pretty amazing combination! Trust me...

It's Christmas Eve, What Are You Doing?

Be Very, Very Quiet. I'm Hunting Toons!
Photo: Rhonda Bernstein 

For those of you not in the loop, my Birthday is exactly one week before Christmas, "Yes" it is December 18th, "Hi" I'm Michael Shinafelt and I'm a Sagittarius.

I turned 50 this year. Yeah, I am a half a century old and still kicking ass! So how I am celebrating this evening?

Continuing my well earned status as a survivor of Generation X by celebrating my Birthday even more. It started last week with an awesome excursion to Disneyland courtesy of Rhonda Bernstein. With co-stars Eric Bernstein & Angela Simone.

Seguing into the actual date with my BFF Brittney Alexander at the legendary El Coyote. The place where famed Hollywood starlet Sharon Tate had her last meal.

And so it continues into Christmas Eve with Scott Jacobs. Featuring Wine & Cheese and Frivolous Fuckery!

Shout out to Erik Rimmer!

Simply having a wonderful Holiday Season!

I'm Going To Disneyland!

Lupita Nyong'o
"First trip to #Disneyland!!! #myfirstears. Mummy, this is for you! #d23expo @disneystudios," 

Oscar winner for 12 Years A Slave Lupita Nyong'o had quite the weekend. Like a virgin she went to Disneyland for the very first time.

Flashing a big smile for the camera Lupita proves the Magic Kingdom is the happiest place on earth.

She was also the unofficial Queen of the D23 Expo promoting her upcoming projects from the House of Mouse: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Jungle Book and The Queen of Katwe.

Wow! No wonder she took a ride on Space Mountain!

Cutthroat & Shinafelt "At The Movies"

Cutthroat & Shinafelt "At The Movies"

In the tradition of "Siskel & Ebert" "Ebert & Roeper" comes "Cutthroat & Shinafelt At The Movies"...

Yes, the resident "Burlesque Biotch" and Bonaparte band member on "Entertain Me" Clea Cutthroat has agreed to discuss five upcoming summer movies with yours truly. It's time for "Cutthroat & Shinafelt At The Movies" In this case the balcony never closes and it's always showtime at the edge of the stage...

1) Maleficent

CC: This is a win-win in my book. A fierce evil bitch, with a bad ass head piece & perfect complexion played by Angelina Jolie. Even if the script sucks, you're sure to score some fabulous makeup tips for your next goth party, fetish event, or Halloween bash. (Who am I kidding !?! I would rock that head gear strolling the supermarket with stilettos at 3 in the afternoon, LOL) All Hail Maleficent!

MS: Maleficent is the best Disney bitch ever! She kicks the Evil Queens ass from Snow White, after all she can turn into a dragon and the Evil Queen can only turn into some old hag who hands out poison apples.

2) 22 Jump Street

CC: You lost me at 22. I may live in Berlin now, and have no idea what this is...but I don't even wanna google it. Is "22" the clever idea of a sequel to that hot-mess remake of 21 Jump Street? I'd rather spend the night exfoliating. 

MS: Me? I'd rather have my ball hairs burnt off than be subjected to this.

3) Transformers: Age Of Extinction

CC: Must I really? The title says it all: "Age of Extinction". Transformers, please go away. 

MS: I heard Michael Bay added nostrils to the Transformers this time so they can snort cocaine.

4) Jupiter Ascending

CC: I think that we should take the money that we saved from not seeing 22 blah blah, Transformers, and this movie and go to Disneyland!!! We can kidnap hot sexy Mila, all take pics with Maleficent together & get high before going into the Haunted House. Score!

Ok...Disney is still a bit more expensive than the entrance for 3 movies put together...but, we could at least go to the bar.  First round of margaritas on me! (Mila's got the second round for sure ;)

MS: Yeah! Margaritas and Mila, good times!

5) Sex Tape

CC: Whereas "22 Jump Street" lost me at it's title, this movie has already made a giant fan out of me. Two of my favorite things: "sex" and "tape".

Hmmmm, I would say more, but now I can only think about sex.

Well, regardless if I go on a date by myself, or with someone else, this film should surely lend itself to a "happy ending".

Two thumbs....waaaay up. Pun completely intended ;)

MS: My boyfriend and I made one of those, and we watch it when we...Hey, why watch strangers when you can let your inner narcissist out and get off on yourselves?

XOXO,

Clea Cutthroat
