Look it's Pamela Anderson out and about in Venice, Italy. I mean how could you not look? Pam is dressed like a classic Hollywood movie starlet and is eye catching, you can't miss her and not stare for a bit, or more? Cat eye sunglasses and a hot skin tight pink dress are always a win when worn by a woman with curves in all the right places like Ms. Anderson. Let me give you a little commentary on Pammy, I had the pleasure of interviewing back in the day when her book Star came out. The piece was for Instinct magazine when it was still an interesting publication. It was for The Chick We'd Switch For column. Being that it was a magazine for gay men I had to pose the inevitable question: If you were gay for a day would you be a man or a woman? She of course said "man" My follow up question? What would you do as a gay man? She stated: I would know how to give a better blow job. There you have it, mic drop. Pam was a lot of fun and sweet as can be. This image and anecdote are just the thing to make all of you smile and get you over "The Hump" - have a good one! Pamela on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pamelaanderson/?hl=en
While I know everyone beat me to posting the new Erika Jayne video, with whips & chains, yesterday. I felt however "Hump Day" was the perfect time to post a video for a song titled "How Many F#@ks." Erika Jayne has been around for a spell in the music world, she is especially known among gay men ( she was named Queen of this year's White Party in Palm Springs after all.) Being on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has given her singing career a HUGE boost! Watching the show it is obvious as to why... Who wouldn't want a loyal, smart, tough, sexy, sassy broad to call their own as a fierce friend?! Like she tells it: "Everyone needs a little Erika Jayne in their lives." Ya know what? I think she's on to something with that. Erika Jayne embodies the bad girl/boy in us all. The things we want to say and do, but don't act upon publicly she does. Her latest song definitely strikes a raw nerve on something that we all want to parade around proclaiming loudly and in public, but for obvious reasons the sentiment is kept private. I know I am feeling this catchy little number in 4,3,2...1!!!
Two of my favorite things, Morrissey & Pamela Anderson have joined forces for the video "Earth is the Loneliest Planet" a spoken word piece by the big M himself.
I encountered Morrissey once at The Viper Room in Los Angeles when he was there to see a band that I was there to see Girl in a Coma, an all female group with a name that "yes" was a homage to the Morrissey song "Girlfriend in a Coma" thus it made for an overall too cool for school evening.
Also I have interviewed the delightful Ms. Anderson for Instinct magazine when it was good for a great column they used to have "The Chick We'd Switch For."
When I posed the question "If you were gay for one day would you want that experience to be as a man or a woman?"
She enthusiastically said "A man . I have so many gay male friends and hear so many great stories."
To which I replied "What would you want to do as a gay man?"
Pamela quipped "If I was a gay man I would know how to give a better blow job ."
This is verbatim as I just transcribed it from a copy of the magazine with my interview in it.
Parisian born singer/songwriter Marie Parie has always believed in her higher alien power. Raised by two Catholic Priests in France Ms. Parie has always identified herself as a alien resident on the Planet Earth.
Her first album "Alien Victory" drops this week. In the world according to Marie scoring this victory has multilevel meanings. The first and foremost one is, understanding the alien power within in us all and letting it guide you when you are unsure of where you should lead.
So, let's hear it from the self described gay man in a woman's body Ms. Marie Parie!
MS: Marie I know you think of yourself as an alien I'm guessing that's why your debut album is titled: "Alien Victory".
MP: Well, yeah (laughs) I believe there is a part of all of us that is an alien. That's where I come from, and the victory is that every single human being is capable of overcoming any situation.
Dating C'est Toc
MS: So how long has your debut been in the works?
MP: A year.
MS: That's pretty standard. The alien theme is something that runs through all of your music including your hit song "Dating".
MP: When I was a child I was always calling myself and alien, and extraterrestrial. This is a thought that would always be in my mind and I had no idea why.
MS: I assume you will include your biggest hit "Dating" on the album.
MP: Of course! There is the English version and we did a French version. We wanted to combine the French and the American on the album. The heavy bass and heavy drums are American style, but melodic part of it is European style.
MS: Bringing the American and European version together on one album is an "Alien Victory" all it's own.
MP: I've always been fascinated with the "Two Sisters" relation between France and America, they have always been inside of each other in history. For example if you go to Normandy, FR there is so much American heritage there and if you go to Louisiana, USA there is so much French heritage. I've always thought how powerful it is to join two worlds together. Uniting two worlds, it's a victory, but to do that you need an alien force. There are so many layers to my album, but there is also the mystery of the alien world which I believe in. On all the planets there are creatures, and we are all part of each other, we are all one.
MS: I like that.
MP: On a personal psychological aspect of it, every person feels alienated for one reason or another. Because it is hard to comprehend this thing called a human. We place limits on ourselves as human beings and we have unlimited potential. In society it is hard to be accepted or belong, or feel like you are a part of something. There are a lot of layers on my album in regard to this, it brings it altogether it goes through all the emotions you could never imagine. It's my "Alien Victory" (laughs).
MS: OK, Marie break down your "Alien Victory" for everyone.
MP: Well it starts with "Dating" your dating right now and it feels good inside. Then it goes to "Playground" because the first stages of dating are all fun.
MS: They are.
MP: "Playground" represents the mixture of danger and fun that "Dating" starts.
Another Day In The Alien World = Victory!
MS: So Marie, how does it all go from here? Will I like the ending to this novel?
MP: After those two stages you are facing the darkness and the light, it brings you to your beauty and your power. The alien in you gets you to do all of these things and you think: "Wow, I'm a miracle"!
MS: The suspense is killing me. How does it end?! Grrrrrrrrrrrrl please!
MP: There is "Lie To Me" the darkness has taken over. (laughs)
MS: Stop, been there done that, I could probably write that song.(laughs)
MP: "Lollipop" is when you become sexual again, you become a sex diva.
MS: Oh, here is my area of expertise. (laughs)
MP: So when you take your sexuality and get a hold of it, you become empowered again. So now you become like my song "Ur Ma Bitch" get on your knees, you are dominant. You really get a hold of your sexuality.
MS: Yeah?
MP: So, "Dating C'est Toc" is dating the new side of you, the alien thing.
MS: I know I did not hit every single track, just the highlights, so Marie Parie, what about the final one? "Love Me".
MP: "Love Me" until I die, it ends that way. You're in love and embracing your inner alien.
Have you ever heard of The Stonewall Riots? Well if you haven't heard of them you should and the talented team at Bluewater Productions wants to help make sure that you do. They are currently funding a Comic Book Project based on the historic incident that kicked off the gay rights movement. Rather than listen to me about why you should be a part of this I have, the writer of the comic, Michael Troy here to give you ten good reasons why, there should be a comic book about The Stonewall Riots, go for it Michael! Michael Troy:
Michael Troy
10. Comics are cool. 9. There isn't one. 8. It keeps the history alive in a fresh new format. 7. Marriage equality is a hot button issue and this is where most believe Gay Rights started. 6. It's a good way to appeal to gay youth for an important history lesson. 5. It's a way to pay tribute and honor the memories of our forefathers (and foresisters, um.) 4. It has drag queens in it. 3. it has gay men from the late 60's in it. 2. It's never been done before. 1. Best reason? I wrote it : ) Well those are ten very persuasive reasons, and here is another, check out some of the promotional artwork for the project below:
