I Want 2 Suck Your...???

"I want to hold you close, Soft breasts, beating heart, As I whisper in your ear
I want to fucking tear you apart" She Wants Revenge 

My Current Mood is reflected above via the song Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge. She wants revenge? How sexist, doesn't everyone want revenge? Especially this particular time of year? Yeah, I thought so. Only 6 more days until Halloween!

Beware of vampires playing Lakme 

Although it wasn't a lot, I gave $3 in spare cash to a Woman on the street working for Planned Parenthood yesterday. #Resist 

Every time I see Donald Trump I think of this quote from the original Halloween film "Was that the Boogeyman?"

I don't know how many times I...

When life gives you lemons you make lemon water. F#ck making lemon aide! It's full of sugar and you'll get fat!

A message from my friend E.G. Daily -
"This is my first piece of music released in years advocating that beauty is an inside job. Being that I am not on a label... I’m asking that friends and family join in in this movement by contributing so I can continue to be a messenger with my voice, my words, and with my heart. I’m hoping the song and its message goes global but I need your support to assist with this launch. The more amazing things that happen with So Pretty, the bigger the reach towards the message and importance of self love! I appreciate your generosity and support, if you can contribute today that would be amazing. No pressure, if anything else just share the link."

Thank you xxEG

Fundamental Rights: Cyndi Lauper

Grrrrrrrrl Power!
Cyndi Lauper

It's official. Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights!

Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning artist and activist Cyndi Lauper has designed and released her official “Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights” t-shirt. Inspired by the menagerie of protest signs using this empowering slogan during the worldwide Women’s March that took place on January 21st, Cyndi has partnered with Omaze in honor of Women’s History Month to raise vital funding for Planned Parenthood and the True Colors Fund.

“As I marched down the streets of New York City in January amongst a beautiful array of people of every sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and nationality, I was blown away to see so many people embracing the message of “Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights’ on their handmade signs,” said Cyndi Lauper. “Seeing this anthem continue to empower so many people to speak out and get involved, I was inspired to find new ways to further spread this powerful message of equality and justice for all. I am hopeful that this t-shirt will raise much needed funds to support the important work of Planned Parenthood and the True Colors Fund.”

Cyndi’s official “Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights” t-shirt is available starting today at www.omaze.com/fun and can be purchased for $25. A sweatshirt is also available for $39. The net proceeds from each t-shirt and sweatshirt sold will be donated to Planned Parenthood and the True Colors Fund.

About True Colors Fund
The True Colors Fund, co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, works nationally to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. In America, up to 40 percent of the 1.6 million youth that are homeless each year identify as LGBT. Yet, only seven percent of the general youth population is LGBT. The most cited reason for this disproportionate rate is family rejection due to the young person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Through a broad continuum of advocacy, training & education, and youth collaboration programs, the True Colors Fund is creating a world in which all young people can be their true selves.

Women's March

We've Got The Power
Madonna & Cher
Washington DC

Yesterday were the Women's Marches heard round the world! While I was unable to attend this Historic Event, I did follow it throughout the day thanks to the wonder of technology.

My favorite sign for the day? "Carrie Fisher didn't die for this shit!" I am sure she is beaming with pride somewhere.

No one should have their human rights taken away. Women's Rights are human rights whether  you be gay, straight, transgender, bi-sexual or fluid. What's happening in our country now is utter bullshit. Who is a corrupt ego maniac/bully/narcissist/male chauvinist/prick whose married to a sex worker place to make these decisions for any woman?

I decided to gather images from the sacred event from yesterday, the most notable one? Madonna & Cher at the Women's March on Washington DC - the others? I gathered from my friends who posted them on Facebook.

Let's Celebrate Life & The Personal Power We All Have!!!

Jennifer Lawrence "Growing Up In A Jesus House"

Actress & Friend Of Planned Parenthood
Jennifer Lawrence 

Kudos to one of my favorite actresses and people, one Ms. Jennifer Lawrence for coming out in Glamour Magazine as a staunch supporter of Planned Parenthood. 

She had this to say to Glamour: 

"Planned Parenthood is so much more than an abortion provider," she continued. "My mom was really religious with me when I was young. She’s not so much anymore. And I wouldn’t have been able to get birth control if it weren’t for Planned P. I wouldn't have been able to get condoms and birth control and all these things I needed as a normal teenager who was growing up in a Jesus house."

Agreed. Planned Parenthood is so much more than a quick accidental pregnancy fix. It's about the health of women in general and is an essential part of our society.

2016 is a bold new year, let's approach it as such.
