Sandy Zacky On Orlando #WeAreOrlando


With the tragedy in Orlando still lingering. I held off on addressing it initially because I wanted to process my own thoughts and feelings. Everyone is still reacting as well they should, it was the biggest mass shooting in the United States ever.

People should be concerned, not just gay people. This is something we must pay attention and attend to. It can and most likely will happen again at a place and time you would least expect. 

As a gay man of course I am upset. However it hit me in a more general way, I think about the potential of such an incident in the many familiar places I travel throughout my day. Let's face it no where and no one is safe.

What I wanted to do was give a different point of view on this, perhaps not even mine but something that could add to the dialogue. Here is a fresh prospective. This is from a grandmother who worries about the country and what the future of it holds for her grandchildren. Her name is Sandy Zacky, you may remember her as Entertain Me's resident chanteuse. She wrote this powerful statement the morning of the shooting on her Facebook page:

"I am sure what is on my mind is what is on most people's mind.
I feel sick, angry,helpless and more. 

What now? It is my grandchildren and their generation that I fear for the most. 

What are we we leaving them? A sick world of people whose only quest is to kill those who don't believe as they do. They think we are immoral but who is more immoral than those who MURDER innocents who just want to live
their lives the way they choose?

Those of you who are that sick may murder but you will not take the US down. You are the cowards we will be the survivors!"

Perfectly stated Sandy. Here is a song she performed with her singing partner Mike Clifford dedicated to the victims and survivors of the tragedy, Love Is Everything -



With congress recently turning a blind eye to the problem at hand, something needs to be done...now, before a tragedy like this can happen again.

"Yellow Bitches In The Driver's Seat"

We Got That Bomb Pussy
Awkwafina & Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho. Awkwafina. Green Tea.
Any Questions???


The Rapper and Comedian collaborate for a NSFW anthem Green Tea in celebration of womanhood and Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.



"I remember watching Margaret Cho with my grandmother on TV. She was my hero, not only because she was funny, but because she showed me that it's okay to be yourself, that it's okay to be a brash yellow girl, and to be a strong and brave woman. To collab with her is a dream come true, but larger than that, there has rarely been two Asian AMERICAN WOMEN being ratchet together, or just being in a music video. This song is a tongue and cheek take on traditional stereotypes, with a strong underlying message for all young women of color to embrace their quirkiness, their sexuality, their inner-child and their creativity with passion. I love Margaret, and I hope some young girl (but not too young) watches this video and it inspires them somehow. Stay angry!" -Awkwafina

"I'm so grateful to work with Awkwafina and this song and video was such fun! It was incredibly natural and easy - as if the song had been already written and we were just channeling it! Awkwafina is the future!"Margaret Cho

Anna Kendrick Not So "Pitch Perfect"

Anna Kendrick Wearing The Technicolor Yawn
By Dolce & Gabbana
Yep it's that time of year where celebrities really let us know they are truly like us by wearing fugly ass Christmas Sweaters.

Well Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2) this hybrid sweater dress that you are sporting by Dolce & Gabbana really takes a piece of cake of the highest order. Both Dolce and Gabbanna should get a spanking from Santa Claus for this inexplicable design!

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Kendrick! She is talented not to mention having a rapier wit on Twitter, and everywhere else she opens her mouth. Like the gem below for example:


But, Queen, please. What the Hello were you thinking by wearing this?! Were you in on the joke? Or did you think it was truly a lovely creation?

Since this is the season of giving, my gift to Anna is forgiveness for wearing something that would get a pass if her Grandmother had knitted it.

Keep Calm & Kendrick On!

Dudley Saunders - The Man In The Game

Dudley Saunders - The Man In The Game
Here is  the second lyric video from Dudley Saunder's IN THESE BOXES. The Man In The Game. Here is the text that precedes it. 

Generations pass and it’s the 1990s.  I am living in New York at the height of the AIDS crisis, and this teenage boy is living in a trailer in eastern Kentucky. He lives with his grandmother, who has diabetes and sleeps a lot, and there are no men at home.  But there is a man in the video game, and he talks to him, and invites him into manhood, of a kind.

Check out the video and song by this talented guy after the jump!
