Peachy Keen

Fashion Forward
Brad Pitt

What's blonde, hunky and glows in the dark? Why none other than Brad Pitt in a salmon hued suit at the Bullet Train photo call in Paris, naturally.

"Yes" Minions this photo is giving me life today, because honestly who could pull off a peachy keen suit like this other than the one and only Mr. Pitt?

In case you have been living under a rock you must know at this point, it's Brad's world and we simply inhabit it after all.

So seize the day and surrender the peach! Or some sh!t like that...

What's in your closet???

Monday Mood

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Do You???

For some reason of late the 1997 (damn! it's been that long ago?!) horror/slasher movie I Know What You Did Last Summer has been always on my mind.

It also sums up my Monday Mood...don't question me because I will never get into details as to why. Fluff up your pillow and know that life is but a waking dream.

Thus there you have it. Ambiguous and vague as it is.

Always remember and never forget.

Helen Shivers for President!!!

Obi-Wan Kenobi Has Gas

Gas Saber
Ewan McGregor

Look Minions it's Obi-Wan Kenobi aka Ewan McGregor gassing up his classic Porsche in Los Angeles. No doubt he's honing his Jedi skills for the May 27th premiere date of his self titled min-series Obi Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus.

Now that we got the plug out of the way, honestly I am feeling quite snarky and saw this shot of Ewan pumping gas and posted it mainly so I could write the byline about having gas. Oh, look I have achieved my mission. If I do nothing else with the rest of my day at least my goal has been set and completed.

How many of you can say that about your day? Let me know, I'm waiting...

Sunday Funday

Fatherly Advice
Skeet Ulrich & Melissa Barrera 

Caught this behind the scenes photo of Skeet Ulrich and Melissa Barrera on the set of Scream having a Father/Daughter moment. Well sort of, Melissa plays Sam Carpenter who is the daughter of Skeet's psycho killer Billy Loomis from the original Scream.

Got it? Groovy! I assume at this point the bit of information contained above about the current Scream movie is not a spoiler, if it was my bad???

Anyway I love behind the scenes photos as they tell their own story and it's super duper fun to see the actors engaging with one another in between takes.

Hence Sunday Funday amusement for all, from me to you and the WWW to me. Do you follow? Of course you do...

Time to put on your best Sunday Ghostface!

Gonna Tell My Nieces & Nephews This Was Fleetwood Mac

Flamingo Road
Christina Raines, Howard Duff, Morgan Fairchild &
Mark Harmon

You've all seen them online people posting fun images saying they are going to tell the upcoming generation that they are someone other than they are. The thing about this is while it is amusing and often times funny it is also kind of an unfortunate commentary on how the Internet can pervert and twist the truth.

We've seen what that can do, politics anyone? Yeah, I thought not. 

Which brings me to what this really is a nifty prime time soap called Flamingo Road that ran two years from 1980 - 1982.  

Here's the 411: Based on the novel and 1949 film of the same name, this prime-time soap detailed the lives of haves and have-nots in the sleepy Southern hamlet Truro, Florida. The haves live in huge mansions on Flamingo Road, while the rest of the characters did anything (blackmail, murder, voodoo) to obtain that address as well.

The drama won over critics, but never got enough of an audience to stay on the air. Too bad, it's a personal favorite of mine and should have ran for at least the requisite five seasons so I and the others who loved it could still see it in syndication.

C'est La Vie! 

PS despite certain misgivings about doing so, I'm still telling my Nieces & Nephews this was Fleetwood Mac. I like to have fun and know they are intelligent enough to discern fact from fiction.

Mic Drop!

Just Because...Colin Farrell

Hobo Chic
Colin Farrell

Just Because it's Monday and we all need motivation, Just Because I'm in the mood for some Man Candy & Just Because we all need some levity and leering. It's time for some Colin Farrell, woot!

See Colin looking "So Fetch" dressed down and getting himself some, coffee, that is. What did you think I was going to say? Tell me, and tell me now. OK, fine be that way.

Moving on, Colin is the epitome of Pandemic dressed down chic is his reindeer pajama bottoms and tattered sweat shirt. Hey, who says some random, worn out items from your wardrobe thrown on with only comfort in mind can not be sexy. These days being and looking comfortable is pretty exciting on many levels.

Thus today, why don't you throw on whatever you damn well want and wear it in public and, well, strut!

Ciao!

Monday Motivation

Color Me Inspired
Jon Hamm
Today's Monday Motivation is inspiration. While I have been very inspired creatively during this pandemic there is the occasional dry spot. Thus this morning I was surfing the Internet in search of some.

Well I found it in the form of Jon Hamm in a t-shirt, shorts, mask and flip flops. How is that inspiring you may ask? Well it got my creative juices flowing if you get  my drift, and I think you do...

Not everything that inspires me is adjacent to lust, but in this very moment, right here, right now that is what is doing the trick

Hey tomorrow's inspiration could be a piece of art or a dog I see while out and about. Perhaps it will  be another human being's act of kindness. That's the exciting thing about getting inspired you just never no where it's coming from, but it always does and often surprises.

Now if you'll excuse me, I got to go baste some Hamm

R.I.P. - Naya Rivera


While I was never a Glee fan (I think I watched it 5 times during it's entire run) that does not mean the unexpected passing of one of it's cast members can not sadden me. Especially when that person was a mere 33 years old.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Naya Rivera she was beautiful and talented. I sincerely hope her family and her son are holding up. I wish them all the best.

As many of you know Naya was BFF's with her co-star Heather Morris. Naya's character Santana Lopez was groundbreaking in the fact that she came out as a Lesbian who romanced Heather's character Brittany S. Pierce on Glee.

While any gay storyline is a bold move this one had the added facet of Naya being Latina. Making her TV's first and most visible Latina Lesbian. Naya was as bold as her talent.

I am going to leave you with Naya as Santana professing her feelings for Heather as Brittany singing a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song Songbird from the album Rumors. In honor of their friendship and Naya's spirit.

Monday Motivation

Sex on the Beach
Christian Bale
Here's something to give you a little pep in your step, some Monday Motivation if you will. Why it's Christian Bale looking completely edible body boarding in Malibu.

"Yes" this is just what I need to jump start my Monday (other than the tea I am currently drinking) - nothing like Christian Bale in and out of clothes. Heck he even made a rubber bat suit sexy.

Doesn't he look especially yummy in wet clingy clothes? I ask you? I'm asking you, answer me and answer me now! OK, be that way.

What's that you say? Christian isn't your thing? Well that's completely fine, it's OK if you have no taste, but here's a mission to motivate on this Monday then. Go out and find your own Man Candy to inspire you.

Yep, if this photo doesn't do it for you, well that's my response and I'm sticking to it. 

Enjoy your week and get motivated!

Just Because...Jon Hamm

Who's Your Daddy?
Jon Hamm
Just Because he fills out his sweats nicely, Just Because it's Father's Day (think about it, but not too much) and Just Because he's bringing Bucket Hats back, here's Jon Hamm leaving a liquor store with what looks like an energy drink.

Happy Father's Day to all of you Daddy's out there (now do you get why Jon is my poster guy for it???) - Anyway nothing beats a Hamm sighting in sweatpants, although it does not look like Jon is up to his freeballing ways from this shot. Which is a bummer, I know he got a lot of attention for it in the press when Mad Men was on the air. Perhaps he decided to tie the Kraken down to avoid the unwanted(?) focus it drew.

Whatever the case a nice casual photo of him out and about is always a welcome sight.

Seize the day Minions!

Just Because...Pandemic Fashion

Little Blue Dress
Scarlett Johansson

Just Because there is still a pandemic happening, Just Because it's Tuesday & Just Because she's Scarlett Johansson - it's time for some Pandemic Fashion!!!

Well OK, perhaps it's not really fashion, but look at Scarlett rock a simple blue print dress with a color coordinated mask. Hey, we gotta make the best of the situation, no?

Keeping it simple is sometimes the best way to go and can actually be more effective as a fashion statement than glam, especially during a warm Summery day in The Hamptons.

Thus take a cue from Scar-Jo and make your Summer of Pandemic fashionable.

Now to find my basic walking shorts and a simple yet stylish, Black T-Shirt...

What Would Jason Sudeikis Do?

Nice Shorts
Jason Sudeikis
After another trying week in the world at large, I woke this morning to this quite inviting image of one Jason Sudeikis, and thought to myself "What Would Jason Sudeikis Do?"

Maybe not as thought provoking as the TV Show What Would You Do? Hosted by John Quinones, but hey Jason looks so sexy in his shorts and scruff, so I choose my basic instincts today.

It turns out Jason is headed out to his office in Silverlake, CA - Damn! Why don't you come up and see me sometime, stud?

Quarantine is giving me all sorts of feels this ayem. I need some kicks below that waistline, sunshine.

And now a word from out sponsor...

Just Because...Raquel Welch

She Wore An Isty Bitsy Teenie Weenie...
Raquel Welch
Just Because we could all use some escapism at present, Just Because Cave Women are exotic & Just Because it's iconic. Here is Raquel Welch  in a her famous fur bikini still from 1,000,000 Years BC, woot!

It's the outfit Ms. Welch wore with great protest and it is one of the most iconic images to ever come straight outta Hollywood. They really don't make stars like they used to and for some random reason visions of Raquel danced through my head while I was sitting at the computer drinking my morning tea.

Nobody does sexy and glamorous like our Lady Raquel. For the record I have screened 1,000,000 Years BC and might I suggest that taking in this image and leaving it at that as the better option? 

Yeah, I went there...

Enjoy the view and TTFN!

Monday Motivation

I'm Bad!
Cameron Diaz
Anyone catch the movie Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz? Bueller? I did with my then BF and found it quite amusing. It popped into my writing mind this ayem and is what inspired today's Monday Motivation.

While I toil away the hours memorizing for a test. "Yes" that's correct minions yours truly is storing info in his computer brain via text. Thus it made me think about teachers and such. The good ones, not the bad ones, but whilst ruminating on the good ones Bad Teacher popped into my consciousness. Because it was funny, Cameron Diaz was great in it & even the lamest of teachers can teach you a lesson. They make the good ones stand out.

Being as that our public education system is under fire I would like to give a hat tip and a high five to all those teachers who care. I had a few of them and they really shaped certain aspects of who I am today. I can only hope kids now have the same kind of caring individuals I did to help guide them.

Oh "Yes" I had a a couple of teachers I would have liked to wish into the corn field, and some that did their job but were not particularly inspiring. But you take the good you take the average and try to laugh at the bad, copy?

Anyway it's the good teachers that are giving me life and Monday Motivation today. Thanks for the kick in the ass to keep on keeping, and werk!

Just Because...Christina Hendricks

Streets of Fire!
Christina Hendricks

Just Because I am a big fan of the show Mad Men, Just Because she looks fabulous & Just Because she is painting the town red, here's Christina Hendricks on the streets of NYC!!!

While I believe they ended the show Mad Men when the should of, with what I thought was a brilliant series finale. I still lament the fact that it's gone. I loved it so much!

All of the characters were so interesting, even if they weren't particularly likable

Christina Hendricks portrayed one of my faves Joan Holloway. "Joanie" as she was often referred to on the show, was well dare I say it, always the smartest person in the room. She was in control of who she was and pretty much controlled everyone else. She knew how to leverage her considerable sex appeal to her advantage, while still maintaining her dignity.

Not things were not always smooth sailing for "Joanie" she always managed to keep herself together. 

I wonder how "Joanie" would navigate today's world, being as it is way different. I believe she was the type of woman who would know how to work any situation in any time and place. Thus she would handle today's world like an expert, business as usual, carry on.

By The Sea

Reunited
Jon Hamm & Elisabeth Moss
The Place: Santa Monica, CA
The Time: 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards 
The People in Question: Jon Hamm & Elisabeth Moss

Whilst having lunch with a friend at the LA County Museum of Art the other day, the subject of the TV show Mad Men came up. We both admitted our love of it, and lamented it's demise.

Then the WWW heavens opened wide and bestowed this photo of Don Draper & Peggy Olson - Jon Hamm & Elisabeth Moss respectively.

If you watched the show weekly like I did you know Peggy was Don's protegee at the advertising agency where they worked. "Yes" they had an unusually close bond, "No" they did not sleep together, although everyone assumes they did.

Now that the record has been set straight, I feverishly seek out Mad Men marathons on U-verse whenever possible. "Yep" I'm that guy...seize the day!

Seeing Red

The Woman Wore Red
Elizabeth Banks

Today I bring you Actress/Director Elizabeth Banks strutting her way to Good Morning America in NYC, looking ravishing in red. Thus bringing us our Seeing Red moment of the day. 

No doubt, actually one hundred percent sure, to promote the Charlie's Angels reboot she Directed and Stars in, with Kristen Stewart and two women that no one knows who the flip are. OK, somebody probably knows who the flip they are, but most of the world at large, meh.

The burning question I have is, who really wants to see this?! While Banks feature Directorial debut Pitch Perfect 2 made moola assuring she would get up to the plate to Direct another movie, I'm not quite sure this was a good choice. But I could be wrong.

Personally I will not be seeing it, unless I get hooked up for a free screening of it.

In the meantime I will chill in my man cave and watch the reruns of the TV Series on ME-TV, thank you very much.

Skip it? Or hit it? The choice is yours to make....

Repulsion

Born To Hand Jive
Catherine Deneuve
Repulsion 
While on Facebook yesterday an app came through to plug in your birth year to find out what was the big horror movie at that time. So for the thrill and chill of it, I did just that. Well guess what came up from the great beyond? Roman Polanski's Repulsion starring Catherine Deneuve, oh alright, the year was 1965.

Here is the synopsis:

"A sex-repulsed woman who disapproves of her sister's boyfriend sinks into depression and has horrific visions of rape and violence."

While I did not see it the year it was out, duh, I did happen to view it in my twenties, not knowing it was the big fright fest of the year of my birth. I knew that being born a snake was cool, now it has been solidified.

It is time for another viewing of this classic, with me being older and wiser. While I liked it when I first saw it, I believe this is a film, like so many, that gets better with life experience.

Besides who can resist the eternal beauty of Deneuve and the Directing mastery of Polanski?

Yeah, I thought not...only four more days until Halloween!

Monday Motivation

Wake Up, Sleepy Head!
Michael Myers
Wow! Only 10 more days until, well you know...Halloween!!! I am having a bit of an issue jump starting my day. Thus I, like I am sure many of you do, need me some good old fashioned Monday Motivation.

Today I have enlisted someone to help you get that MM running, literally, it's a totally different MM, Michael Myers! Since Halloween is his jam I thought "Who better?"

I mean seriously, if Michael wielding a big ole blade at you does not put some pep in your step, well then I guess he's already killed you. "Yes" you are lazy and unmotivated if MM came at you, that you didn't get motivated enough to get it together and run!

BTW next Halloween MM is back in the follow up to Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills. Oh yes, and there will be blood, yours specifically if you don't get your Monday Motivation cranking full speed ahead into your day. Right here, right now....remember The Boogeyman is real!
