Michael's Musings

Michael "Bullet Nips" Shinafelt

The world keeps turning and has been a very busy place this past week. So busy that the first celebrity passing of 2017 happened yesterday and it was major.

I don't know about you, but I feel a need to let off some steam, and ramble.

Let's get busy!!!

Wouldn't life be more fun if everyone's middle name was "Mother Fuckin'?" Hi, I'm Michael "Mother Fuckin'" Shinafelt, it has a nice ring.

Saw Moonlight this week with Naama Kates, amazing/beautiful/brilliant my pick for best film of the year.

I am so proud to call Los Angeles, CA my home as 750,000 strong turned out for the Women's March. My regret was I was unable to attend.

Had a belated Birthday lunch in Beverly Hills with my dear friend Julie McMahon at the Cheesecake Factory yesterday. Fish and Chips craving satisfied!

The first Trump supporter who complains to me that he isn't doing anything he promised gets a prize from me, a really special one that everyone will see.

R.I.P. Mary Tyler Moore a true legend and icon. I loved her performance in Ordinary People it remains one of my favorites to this day.

The Academy Award Nominations were announced this week in case you care

Sometimes I think to myself - Alyssa Milano is everything

What I said above goes for Ashley Judd as well

In case you are wondering what I'm doing Friday night well wonder no more! I am seeing LeAnn Rimes with Ken Phillips. For the record I am really looking forward to it, she is a terrific singer!

You'll find out. Trust me.

I've never kissed a guy #alternativefact

Time for me to motor because I am busy!

TBT: Mistress Mary & Submissive Dick

Who Knew?

My name is Mary Tyler Moore I'll be your Mistress tonight...

A long time ago  on TV there was a sitcom called The Dick Van Dyke Show. It starred Dick Van Dyke (duh) and Mary Tyler Moore as his wife. In typical TV comedy fashion everyone was happy and the problems were work related. 

Both of them went on to do many other things, Dick notably playing Burt in Mary Poppins opposite Julie Andrews. Mary Tyler Moore had her own long running self titled sitcom and received an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of ice cold Mom Beth Jarrett in on of my favorite films Ordinary People directed by Robert Redford.

Cut to me on the internet last week not sure where I saw this but I came across this quite kinky photo of the two stars shot by famed photographer Annie Leibowitz in 1995. Not sure why it was shot or for what, but I love it and decided to give you all a blast from the more recent past of the two former co-stars. 

Have a good one!
