Hump Day & Chill

Garcelle Beauvais

"I know she had a roster. Back in the '90s, it was good. Maybe she peaked." - Erika Jayne on Garcelle Beauvais 

Dear Erika Jayne, judging by Garcelle's Season 14 reunion look I think not!

"Yes" this is the dress Garcelle will be wearing during next week's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion. PS it hardly looks like she has peaked, more like she has only just begun.

Since Ms. Beauvais is leaving the show after five season we are going to Hump Day & Chill to one of my favorite housewives.

What's that you ask? Why is she leaving RHOBH? Here's what she has to say:

"The Jamie Foxx Show" star and "The Real" co-host said she was leaving to focus on her family, including her two younger twin sons, who are heading into their senior year of high school. She said she also has "the most exciting projects" in store. "I am developing, producing and acting.

Well at least she didn't get fired. Paging Lisa Rinna...

Raise a glass and give the great Garcelle Beauvais an enthusiastic Hump Day & Chill toast!

Hump Day & Chill

Walton Goggins & Sam Rockwell

“So, one night, I took home some girl who turned out to be a ladyboy, which I’d done before, but this time, instead of fucking the ladyboy, the ladyboy fucked me, and It was kind of magical. And I got in my head, what I really wanted was to be one of these Asian girls getting fucked by me, and to feel that."

Forget the incestual kiss between Ratliff Brothers (Patrick Schwarzenegger & Sam Nivola) on Season 3 Episode 5 of The White Lotus. The real deal is the monologue that Frank (Sam Rockwell) delivers to old friend Rick (Walton Goggins) as you can see from the excerpt above it's a doozy!

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to this thing of beauty. 

Personally I was so riveted by it I've watched it three times (and counting) thus far. Not only is it fascinating to hear what is said, it is masterfully delivered by Rockwell and reacted to by Goggins. 

Tell you more? Below is a link to the the entire monologue...

Me & Mr Bones
Eiza Gonzalez

"Oh, catch that buzz, Love is the drug I'm thinking of, Oh, can't you see, Love is the drug for me" - Roxy Music, Love Is The Drug

What the world needs now is hugs, sweet hugs. Indeed, we are spreading Hump Day & Chill love today with, what else, hugs!

Hugs are magic and best of all free. Surely you have someone you want to squeeze, give one to them, or give one to a random stranger, or a skeleton.

That's correct, you could bend it like Actress/Singer Eiza Gonzalez and her friend Mr Bones above.

Whoever you choose to hug, let's create a wave of good vibrations today.

Hump Day & Chill Minions!

Hump Day & Chill

Mick Jagger & Madonna

Today's Hump Day & Chill is going to be one for the ages! That's correct Minions I am pulling out all the stops and we are going to "chill" with two music legends Madonna & Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones!!!

While their musical output differs their performance style at it's core is similar. "Yes" they both come from a sexual place and both are very powerful individuals.

So what becomes two legends most? I would have loved to have been privy to their conversation but alas I was not on the exclusive guest list for "The Party" 

"The Party" is a post Oscar bash thrown by Queen Madonna and her manager Guy Oseary now in  it's seventeenth year. It's thrown at Oseary's Los Angeles home and co-sponsored by Gucci and Capital One. 

Hump Day & Chill in greatness Minions!!!

Let's Get Mad, Shall We?!
Karen Castrischer-Stegall & Michael Shinafelt

Today I thought we should Hump Day & Chill to some wisdom Alice in Wonderland style. With a quote straight outta the Mad Hatter. 

 “You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution for their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic.”

Believe in magic Minions I do! Hey it's magic that morphed my friend Karen Castrischer-Stegall into the Hatter and me into Alice whilst we were visiting Disneyworld's Magic Kingdom. 

All you have to do is Hump Day & Chill and just let go...

Trust me letting go is magical!

Touch the cow and do it now...Hump Day & Chill with the cow do it and do it now!!!

"Yes" Minions that is a cow standing amongst the foliage in the Kissimmee River, FL. How did I get to see this unusual site? I was on a airboat tour with my friend Karen on said river, that's how. BTW if you ever get a chance to go for a tour on an airboat I highly recommend it! 

What the heck was the cow doing in the river you ask?! Judging by it's demeanor and the fact that temperatures were in the 80's this Cool Cow is chilling.

Un-bothered by anything this Cool Cow just stood there like everything was groovy. This being said Karen and I also saw many alligators and their offspring in the river as well.

Here's hoping the Cool Cow didn't become an alligator's dinner! Hump Day & Chill Minions!

Hump Day & Chill

Seahorse Love

Today we shall Hump Day & Chill to a thing of beauty...nature. Here we have a female seahorse passing her fertilized eggs to a male seahorse so he can carry them term.

"Yes" that's correct Minions, it is the male seahorse who goes through pregnancy and gives birth in case you were out of the loop on that fact.

Thus gender fluid is a real thing, it's natural after all.

Let's just put it this way if there was anyway to use seahorses as a vessel of hate and political posturing I'm sure they would be a target of the current whatever the F#ck you want to call it since we really don't have a President.

For those of us who marvel at the world around us, let's pay the "good vibes" forward and Hump Day & Chill to the thing of beauty that is the seahorse.

Hump Day & Chill

After a long year let's Hump Day & Chill to some pussy, as in Catherine Deneuve with her cat that is (I know what you were thinking...) 

Some of you out there are cool, but no one will ever be Catherine Deneuve cool.

While I am a admirer of her work my most favorite film she did was Luis Bunuel's Belle de Jour. Where she played a bored housewife who turns tricks at a local brothel during the day.

Actually I can not in good conscience fail to mention my other favorite film she has done. She was cast to perfection as Miriam Blaylock in The Hunger. Where she was so chic, and "yes" cool as as a centuries old vampire.

See I told you none of you could ever be Catherine Deneuve cool...

Hump Day & Chill!

Hump Day & Chill

Cameron Diaz
in
There's Something About Mary

There is nothing more "Chill" than Cameron Diaz in her heyday. Cameron was the cool broad you wanted crack open a beer and hang out with. She always came off like a lot of fun!

Another admirable quality about Ms. Diaz was how game she was to so anything in a movie. She was always completely fearless. With her return to Netflix in Back In Action co-starring Jamie Foxx I thought we should Hump Day & Chill to Cameron in There's Something About Mary.

Specifically the hair gel scene (if you know, you know) - I don't want to break it down on here in case you haven't seen the comedy because it's best experienced during the course of viewing the movie. But suffice it to say it was Diaz at her best and it was hilarious!!!

While I have yet to watch Back In Action I surely will because I am a Diaz stan.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to meet up with Cameron for a brewskie and good times!!!

Hump Day & Chill...!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Bend It Like
Marilyn Monroe

After a week of Wild Fires (and counting) in Los Angeles, CA I thought it was time to revisit a simpler time in the cities history.

Let's take a Hump Day & Chill trip back to the days of yore when Marilyn Monroe lounged on a chair languidly looking like a million dollars, shall we? We shall!

Marilyn is the kind of woman you knew you could have a dirty martini with, laugh and confide in. I bet she would never tell anyone your secrets, and you'd better not spill hers either.

So let's raise our collective glasses and toast to the history of Los Angeles/Hollywood and remember a time and place when things were less chaotic. 

Hump Day & Chill...Cheers!

Daryl Hannah
aka
Elle Driver

"That's right. I killed your master. And now I'm gonna kill you too, with your own sword, no less, which in the very immediate future, will become... my sword." - Elle Driver, Kill Bill

Anyone remember Daryl Hannah as the badass Elle Driver aka California Mountain Snake in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill series? Of course you do and you should.

Elle Driver is the object of our Hump Day & Chill affection today, why? Because she can be.

I've never forgotten the impact Daryl Hannah had on me when I saw the films as the one eyed eye patch wearing assassin.

She was mysterious, intriguing and down right evil! 

Yeah, she was real and she was magnificent! Bow at the altar of Elle!

Hump Day & Chill!!!

Cookiefoot

Remember when there were a plethora of Bigfoot sightings back in the day? Cut to now, no one ever speaks of Bigfoot anymore.

Well now there is Cookiefoot, he was spotted recently in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. So let's give a Hump Day & Chill toast to the latest make believe beast wandering deep in the forest.

I'm not sure exactly where he will find cookies out in the wild, but I'm sure he has his ways.

And how about that blue fur?!?!

Hump Day & Chill Minions!

The Tinman 
& His Heart

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and the Tinman finally gets the Heart of his dreams...

In case you are completely unaware tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Wicked is up in your grill. Thus I thought we should Hump Day & Chill by revisiting the original Wizard of OZ with a twist.

This is the Heart I think the Tinman would have enjoyed much more than that hokey clock the Wizard gave him. Seriously what could be better than having Ann and Nancy Wilson of the iconic rock group Heart on your person at all times.

You would be able to access some bad ass rock music 24/7 that also has, well, heart. Double the heart, double your fun! 

Now that's a reason to Hump Day & Chill!

 Monstro Elisasue

"There's been a slight misuse of the Substance" - Elisabeth Sparkle 

Have you seen The Substance? Well to me it is the most amazing, crazy film I've seen all year!

It's one of the few that actually got under my skin and the more I think about about it, the more I love it!!!

Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill with: Monstro Elisasue. If you've seen The Substance you know. If you haven't it's still a blast!

Monstro Elisasue is the combination of the two main characters in the film: Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) and Sue (Margaret Qualley) now that's entertainment for sure!!!

So join myself and Monstro Elisasue in a Hump Day & Chill kind of way.

Yep, that's what I was thinking as well...

Michael Shinafelt

Well it's been a week that feels like a year, so I'm gonna keep it simple and Hump Day & Chill with a gin martini straight up two olives in my favorite Sapphire Martini Glass next to a Palm Tree.

Isn't my martini glass cool? Not coincidentally it was given to me as a set with a bottle of, you guessed it Bombay Sapphire Gin for my Birthday one year.

So why don't you come join me under the Palm Tree on my street and Hump Day & Chill by imbibing with me?

You know you want to...

Tom Connan

I believe in the power of Hump Day & Chill. Click your heels together three times rinse and repeat.

Levity is the order of the day and here is something I found fun! Remember when Bernie Sanders was a meme, photoshopped into every given situation imaginable? Well now my friend Tom Connan is doing the same only much cuter and with less clothing on.

Here's Tom doing his in shorts only yoga pose (the one he uses in all of the memes) in a very high profile public location.

Now I'm not going to reveal what kind of visions this has dancing in my head, but one can only imagine, or perhaps you can't.

Anyway fluff up your pillow and Hump Day & Chill...

Strike a pose!

Teri Garr
in
Young Frankenstein

One of the actresses I loved as a kid (and still love) was Teri Garr. It was always a treat when Garr appeared on the screen. She was beautiful, talented, and she usually made me laugh. I have so many fond memories of her in movies like "Tootsie", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "The Black Stallion", "Oh, God!", "The Conversation", "One From the Heart", and of course, we celebrate her with an image from the classic "Young Frankenstein" Tis the season. She was stricken with multiple sclerosis for the past couple decades. Teri Garr will be missed.
