Women Behind Bars

Me & Traci
With The Cast Of "Women Behind Bars"

About last night? Well it all started when my friend Traci Lords snagged the lead in the play Women Behind Bars @ The Montalban Theatre in Hollywood..."Yes" Once upon a time in Hollywood minions.

When I went to purchase a ticket Traci told me not to, she would get me one. Which resulted in me attending the opening last night and the after party, woot! 

Needless to say the show is a blast! With a stellar cast guided by ace Director Scott Thompson I highly recommend you go if you can, it's total pure OE (Offensive to Everyone) fun!

Here are photos from the magical to do...! 

Look It's Miss Coco Peru!

Action! Director Scott Thompson

Waxing Nostalgic

We Go Together
Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta

Being it is the season for nostalgia, sentimentality, etc... this photo really brought back fond memories for me of my youth. That's correct minions, I've got chills they're multiplying!

My first girl crush Olivia Newton - John and John Travolta got their inner Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson on for a Grease Sing-A-Long in Palm Beach, FL.

Olivia captioned the photo on Instagram with: "First time in costume since we made the movie! So excited!" 

Indeed as were the attendees of the three day event called "Meet N Grease" which will include a Q&A session with the dynamic duo.

Thus today's secret word is "Grease" because, after all "Grease" is the word!

Monday Motivation

Please Sir, I Want Some More
Red Wine

"Red red wine, It's up to you, All I can do, I've done" Red Red Wine, UB40

Guess what's happening now minions? Red, red wine of the Cabernet Sauvignon kind is what my Monday Motivation is. 

Hey, motivation is a mysterious thing, it can take on many forms, so sit right back and you'll hear a tale...

"Yes" red wine is my end game for Monday as I am having it with cheese and crackers as a little before Thanksgiving celebration with a friend tonight.

Any questions? I thought not, now carry on, that's all.

Say Cheese! 😺

Come On Get Happy!

Happiness Is...
Lizzo

"Hello world, here's a song that we're singin', C'mon get happy, A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin', We'll make you happy" - Come On Get Happy, The Partridge Family 

Today I am channeling Lizzo celebrating her sister's Birthday from the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! I was there just two weeks ago and had a grand time, and "Yes" like Lizzo, I got happy!

With all the strife going on in the world around us, please remember to do the one thing that counts most, make yourself and others smile, everyone, smiles.

It doesn't cost a thing and it feels good for all parties involved. Lizzo personally makes me smile every time I see her do anything. Thus I hereby decree Lizzo the mascot for getting happy.

Enjoy your day 100% minions...!

Monday Motivation

With merely three days to Halloween today's Monday Motivation is the adage "Follow Your Heart."

In keeping with the Season of the Witch I have provided a macabre to some, delightful to others illustration of this.

"Follow Your Heart" is a personal thing that I can not, therefore will not define for you. Let's just say it is for certain not the "Tell-Tale Heart" now that's something really scary! The other can be too just not in a supernatural sort of way.

Thus today I am going to go where my heart leads me. Except I will not have mine outside my body on a leash.

Yeah, if I did that I would be dead, and unable to get my bliss on. Only if I was a Zombie that could work, and then I'd most likely gnaw on it or something to that grotesque effect.

It's time, you have your Monday Motivation mission, get to it minions!  

Current Mood

Tea For 2
Billy Idol & Miley Cyrus

"In the midnight hour babe more, more, more, With a rebel yell more, more, more" Rebel Yell, Billy Idol

Yep, this pretty much sums it up for me today. Rebel Yell by Billy Idol is my current state of mind.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it simply means it's time to break out minions and go for it! I have officially activated my inner beast mode, he's ready to rumble, how about you?

What's that you ask? Why is Miley Cyrus in the photo with Billy? Well they did a duet of Rebel Yell at an iHeartRadio concert and it's quite rousing. 

Thus that is what I am going to bequeath on you today. Billy & Miley tearing it up on Rebel Yell!

Your Welcome...

Monday Motivation

I'm Elegantly Satan!
Michael Shinafelt

With only seventeen days left until Halloween, we are in the final countdown, fer sure. Thus today I thought I would give you Monday Motivation in the form of something Devilish, that one time I dressed up as Satan for Halloween!

"Yes" this is me as "Hot Satan" down on Santa Monica Blvd. during the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival, I believe this was in 2010, Yeah nine friggin years ago.

I'm not one to plan some elaborate time consuming sort of costume, so I basically used things I had, bought a set of horns, put on some dark eye make-up and abracadabra, "Hot Satan." What's that? No I did not have to go out and purchase the riding crop, it was a gift I received one year for my Birthday from...fluff up your pillow and fantasize minions.

So today's Monday Motivation exists solely to get you in the spirit (pun intended) for Halloween since it looms nigh.

Have a Groovy Goolies Day!

Hump Day & Chill: Ariel Beesley

"Here it is !! The “Palm Springs” music video. I wanted to do something different with this video, to show people a little window into the things I care about outside of the music. On a personal level this video stands for what I can accomplish when I take myself out of toxicity and love myself instead. I hope you love it" - Ariel Beesley 

Let your inner activist Hump Day & Chill today in one of the best ways I can imagine, with Ariel Beesley. This young woman who I have know since she was, oh never mind, no need to go there. But she is a complete source of inspiration to me in everything she does. Trust me, it takes some kind of special to inspire me.

The video for her latest single "Palm Springs" has dropped and I LOVE what she co-directed along with Lili Peper. It documents Ariel putting together a benefit for the ACLU called "Front Line Girls" (which I attended) and I couldn't be more blown away by this young woman's passion. She puts her money where her vocal chords are.

Thus, I'm going to leave you with the video and a way to find Ms. Beesley on Instagram, as well as a link to donate to the ACLU to honor the artist and humanity. 

Hump Day & Chill minions!

The Emmy's Draw Nigh...

Gwen, Michelle, Gwen, Michelle
Michelle Williams

As an after thought this ayem I remembered today The Emmy's happen, unlike fetch they really do happen, every year...

Thus it got me thinking, not too much but just enough to recall one of the most stellar performances I have ever seen by an actress in a leading role, Michelle Williams nominated as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series/Movie for her portrayal of Gwen Verdon in Fosse/Verdon.

Let's face it, Sam Rockwell was good as Bob Fosse, but Michelle stole the MotherF#cking show as Gwen Verdon. Who knew little Jen Lindley from Dawson's Creek would emerge as a powerhouse acting butterfly?! Really, who knew? Any of you?

In conclusion while I will not be watching them I am rooting for Ms. Williams to hit a homer and take home The Emmy today. 

Why? Because she's worth it minions.

Mic Drop!

Monday Motivation

Mimic This!

For this week's Monday Motivation I thought I would try this thing that is happening on Instagram called Mimic Monday where you post a photo of someone of yourself making a silly face for others to mimic and tag you in to show they have done it too.

"No" I'm not going to participate, and you don't have to either honestly. I simply thought it would be a fun thing to kick off the week, you know some levity. Thus I bring you Entertain Me's inaugural Mimic Monday poster stud Christian Bale. 

That's correct minions I said Christian is a stud, and well, he is. Even when he is making a silly, hard to replicate face for you to mimic he still is hot, hot, hot IMHO.

So get your Monday Motivation on and "Bend It Like Bale" if you can't mimic this, then go where there is no path and leave a trail with your own face for others to imitate. Or simply sit this one out.

In other words whatever path you so choose "Just Do It!"

Just Because...Margaret Qualley

Pretty In White
Margaret Qually

Just Because she slayed as Pussycat one of the members of the Manson Family in Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood, Just Because she is Andie MacDowell's daughter & Just Because it's Labor Day here is Margaret Qualley in Venice, Italy!!!

Check out Margaret, she's catching a ride on a water taxi, because when in Venice do what the Venetians do, naturally.

She's also wearing white on Labor Day. I think she gets a pass on that until tomorrow, correct? I really know nothing about the white Labor Day rule other than they say not to wear it after, thus I am guessing it doesn't apply to the actual day. So I assume that means that Margaret is marked safe from Serial Mom today.

Anyway Happy Labor Day and all that Jazz minions!

Freaky Friday

Fangtastic!
Angelina Jolie

"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire" - Angelina Jolie

You know those times when you are surfing the WWW and you come across something unexpected? Well today is one of those times for me, thus I hereby decree it to be a Freaky Friday state of mind.

For some reason know only to an algorithm a photo of Angelina Jolie as a Vampire came up in one of my searches. It was so striking that I saved it and foisted it upon my minions today, right here, right now.

Not to mention it fits perfectly with a quote from Ms. Jolie herself about her childhood aspiration to become a blood sucking freak. To be honest her and I had the same lofty goal as kids. "Yes" I to wanted to be a creature of the night.

Combined with the fact that the Maleficent sequel is opening soon, October 18, 2019 to be exact. It's a Freaky Friday concoction too delicious not to imbibe...!!!

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary... say it three times and see what happens.

Hump Day & Chill

Got Wet?
Matt Dunk

Psssssssssssssst! Did you know that in Australia they had a magazine that was their version of the US' Playgirl? Well they did it was called Australian Women's Forum. The things you discover when browsing Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things are quite a Hump Day & Chill treat.

Especially when the thing you uncover is Matt Dunk, "Yes" I meant uncover in the literal sense of the word. I wouldn't give my minions anything less to Hump Day & Chill to. 

You get dreamy Aussie Matt's deliciousness in full view in the spread he did for the magazine. Oh there's more apparently Matt also posed for Playgirl as well. There is a link included in the piece on him and AWF to click so you can bare witness and feast your eyes on those images too.

Matt is yummy in any way, shape or forum. However I must I agree with Tye, I was riding on a bummer that he had lost his lovely/sexy/cool bangs by the time he had shot Playgirl. Guess one can't have everything, or can one?

Well as far as I am concerned one can, by clicking on the link below and checking out Matt's banging bangs and banging other things right now. Your directive is to get your Hump Day & Chill on ASAP!

F#cking Cardi B!

U Suck!
Cardi B

WTF?! Does the "B" in Cardi "B" stand for anyway?! Well if I was a betting sort of guy I would venture the "B" stood for B!tch! 

Personally I can't stand her music. On another note does the "Me Too" movement only apply to women?!

"Yes" minions.  Cardi B. has admitted to stealing from men under the influence whilst she was a stripper. Thus does this make her PC?  Not in the least.

Personally I find her as repellent as all the men out there who prey on women and find her as morally accountable as they are.

It's a shame she was cast autobiographically in Hustlers opposite the great Jennifer Lopez. 

WTF?! Were they thinking. I can't stand the rapist, I mean artist, I  mean POS known as Cardi B!  

Monday Motivation

May The Force Be With You Rocketman
Taron Egerton & Mark Hamill

Monday always gets a bad rap. It's the day after Sunday which is often referred to as Fun Day, and it's stuck with the adjective Manic. Thus today's Monday Motivation is to put some Fun Day magic into your Manic Monday.

How? I really don't know, only you hold the key to how that would work for you, but I believe in your power to do so. 

Thus I have provided you visual inspiration in a moment I like to call "When Luke Sykywalker met Elton John." That's right minions, this happened this past weekend at Comi-Con in San Diego, Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker and Taron Egerton aka Elton John both co-star in the offering The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance and were strutting their stuff to support it. So what are co-stars to do when sashaying down a catwalk? Shoot a selfie naturally.

How is this Motivation to put some Fun Day into your Monday you may inquire? How does this pairs enthusiasm and infectious smiles not spread some mirth your way? If it doesn't perhaps you should check to see if you still have a pulse.

So it's time to go for it and bend Monday like nobody else can. You've got this!

Hump Day & Chill

His Is Coming
Sean Lamont

OK, today you are going to Hump Day & Chill to what I consider male perfection in the form of  Scottish Rugby Player Sean Lamont, who has gotten naked for the camera, not to mention life drawing classes several times.

You know what that means don't you? "Yes" it means I've procured a link from Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things you to see what a big boy Mr. Lamont is. Not to mention his firm, supple booty.

That's correct minions the man looks delicious coming and going. Can I get an Amen??? On your knees then...

Well I personally am having a hard time containing my enthusiasm, so I'm gonna get this Hump Day & Chill started.

It's time to play ball at the link below.
