Monday Motivation

Seeing Red
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry
With all the chaos in the world I thought we needed some Monday Motivation today that would represent and spread some joy. Thus when I stumbled upon this photo of the "Artist Formerly Known As Prince" Harry and Meghan Markle at the Mountbatten Festival of Music, I knew I have struck MM gold!

Because, let's face it, life is tough, that's just the way it is. These two are going trough their emancipation from the Royal Family at present and publicly so they are pretty much a unifying symbol of that.

Yet, those matching vibrant red ensembles are enough to put a smile on anyone's face 😀

Perseverance is the word for this Monday. Everyone of us has the strength to deal with life's adversities. 

So put on your personal "vibrant red" and go out into the world and seize the day!

Head

Totally Different Head
Jared Leto
Yesterday was a big day, with the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bouncing baby boy and of course a little to do called The Met Gala in NYC

Today is gonna pale in comparison, or perhaps not. Hey, it's all what you make of it. 

What's giving me life today? Why Jared Leto's I'm going to venture a guess and say Game of Thrones inspired look from yesterday's Gala. Which is a bedazzled man dress, but what truly makes this an envelope pusher is Leto carrying his own severed head.

Only Jared of Leto could, and for that matter would, pull this off. 

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna start plotting how to overthrow Mr. Leto's status as King of Pushing Boundaries. That's correct minions, I am going to sally forth and make a bid for the throne...

The Markle Sparkle

Don't Tell The Koala, But I'm Pregnant
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
at
Sydney's Taronga Zoo
Congratulations to Prince Harry & Meghan Markle - They're pregnant! Of course I am not the first to report this, but I will be the one to help spearhead a movement.

One of the best things I saw online with regard to this joyous news was "Instead of "Baby Glow" let's trend the "Markle Sparkle." Perfection!

Sparkle, Meghan, Sparkle! Well quite frankly she does. There is an inner and outer beauty to Ms. Markle that is flat out radiant and shines like a diamond.

Hats off to whoever came up with this idea, I for one am 100% behind this.

Sing it high, sing it low, let everyone know the "Markle Sparkle" is a thing.

Enjoy your day and don't forget to...you know, sparkle!

Twos - Day


Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
Happy Twos -Day! That's correct minions being the random contraption I am, I'm feeling the love of the numeral two twoday. As in two people, couples or two people spending some "quality time" together.

This is most likely because I had some hot, intense "quality time" recently and it's been on my mind ever since. Hey, you can't shake that feeling easily.

So, I have decided to post celebrity twosomes that are eye catching to myself and others. Bask, minions, bask! No need to thank me you can just....

Just Because...A Royal Wedding Portrait

What A Feeling!
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Just Because I love black and white photography, Just Because the magic still lingers & Just Because they make such a great pair - here is the official portrait of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle brought to you by the words Royal & Wedding.

You know I really don't have much to say about posting this, since I am probably one of the last individuals covering and commenting on pop culture to do so. 

This beautiful image speaks for itself. You don't need me to tell you my impressions of it, because I am betting mine are simpatico with yours.

Plain and simple this image evokes positive energy. That's something everyone needs right here, right now. So let's go with it - what a feeling!

Just Because...George & Amal Clooney

One Word: Wow!
Amal & George Clooney
Just Because it's the day after the Royal Wedding, Just Because it's Sunday Funday & Just Because they looked so amazing here are, IMHO the best dressed couple who attended the wedding of the century George & Amal Clooney.

"Wow" was the word that came to mind when Amal showed up in this stunning yellow number that complimented her to perfection. It was a bold choice of color and hot damn, she worked it!

She also had a great accessory by her side, her husband George, ya know that Clooney guy. Who wisely ditched traditional black formal wear and went with a tailored gray number that completed his wife's out of the box color choice to perfection.

What's that you say?! "Yes" I did see the actual wedding, it was lovely. Honestly, we all need someone to look at us the way Harry looks at Meghan, the love those two have for  one another is obvious. It was the perfect anecdote to all the hate going on in the world around us to be reminded that love can, and will conquer all.

On that note, Michael has left the building...

Fairy Tales Do Come True!

Have To Believe We Are Magic
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
With all the heinous things happening in the world around us, it's nice to witness a real life Fairy Tale - Once upon a time....

Thus let's pop open a bottle of our finest bubbly and toast to the union or Prince Harry & Meghan Markle on this May 19th 2018!

For those of you who think this event is frivolous, you may want to re-think that position. For better of for worse this Royal Wedding matters on so many levels, politically and psychologically.

How so? Let me break it down for you.

On the political front you have two philanthropists getting hitched who, in lieu of wedding gifts gave a list of charities they would like their guests give donations to. Meghan Markle is biracial, while I am at loathe to make this a point since it is 2018 - sadly it is still significant. It's the uniting of two different countries, think about it, but not too hard.

Psychologically with what seems like weekly mass shootings happening and the general state of the planet,this reminds us the magic of love really does exist. We need the escapism and pageantry right here, right now. There hasn't been a Cinderella story like this since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco.

"Yes" people today we are reminded that their is hope in the world and that Fairy Tales have the power to still come true when we choose love over hate. 

Congratulations to the happy couple.Let love rule!!!

What's happening minions I'm back for this weeks edition of Michael's Musings...Ooooops, I'm doing it again! 

There is one really specific thing on my mind of late. Me being fabulous over fifty, being that I have lost 41lbs! I am down to 172 from 213 - suck on that! Time to address adventures in being bad ass and other things, it's time to keep moving...!

Breaking News! A beautiful, super in love couple named Prince Harry & Meghan Markle are getting hitched Saturday! (OK, not breaking news, unless you have been living in a cave)

Yesterday before yoga I went to weigh in and the scale registered I was 178! I almost cried, until it hit me that I still had my yoga mat and gym bag in my hands. Yep! I'm still status quo.

Did lunch at Wahlburgers on the Sunset Strip with Ms. Jackie Kilmer & Mr. Ken Phillips Tuesday. Always skirting the edge of glory.

The Home Stretch

Fairy Tale
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
Last week was a reminder to "save the date" as it was two weeks away. Well this week we are hitting the home stretch. That's correct peeps, the Royal Wedding is now officially one week away, seven days and counting, the home stretch.

The thing is, this event couldn't come at a better time in the history of the world. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Yeah, I cribbed that phrase from a song, but no truer words could be spoken presently.

Harry & Meghan are the fairy tale people need right here, right now. This is going to be one off the hook wedding and promises to deliver that happily ever after ending we all deserve. 

I'm sucker for magical moments and this will not disappoint. 

RSVP for Saturday May 19th Windsor Castle - I already have!

Save The Date



The countdown that had begun months ago now draws even closer. "Yes" two weeks from today the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and one Meghan Markle is happening.

With countless viewing parties at various entities in every state & city, as well as stay at home get together's in place this is going to be one of the biggest events of 2018.

Am I going to watch? Unless I have a commitment that prevents me from doing so, computer says "Yes."

These two can't stop the feeling of the power of love when you see them together. Which in this day and age is something rare and beautiful to witness.

Yeah, sometimes I can crossover into the sappy zone.

Forget your troubles come on get sappy...

Just Because...Giving

We Crave a Different Kind of Buzz...
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
I stumbled upon this gem today about Prince Harry & Meghan Markle asking those who wish them well to go to...Ha! Kidding. They have actually asked them to make Charitable Donations in lieu of Wedding Gifts.

Personally I love these two, there I said it. Not since Princess Diana has anything "Royal" really grabbed my attention. 

Their obvious happiness is infectious. But what I adore most about them is how philanthropic they are. They hand picked seven charities they would like people to give to in honor of their special day, they are as follows:

CHIVA (Children's HIV Association), Crisis, the Myna Mahila Foundation, Scotty's Little Soldiers, StreetGames, Surfers Against Sewage and The Wilderness Foundation UK.

Giving is something that is important whether it be money, food or time. 

I feel one should give back any way you can. Do I give? For the record "yes" I practice what I preach.

Silver Bells?

Not!
Photo:
Michael Shinafelt
Mark your calendars the date has been set for Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's wedding, May 19, 2018, "yes" the nuptials will be televised.

The betrothed will tie the knot at St. George's Chapel @ Windsor Castle, say that three times fast. Funny a few scant weeks ago I snapped a shot in the supermarket of the tabloid headline above and sent it to my Royal Fan Girl Shani Bayne

She doesn't believe the headline and frankly neither do I. These two don't seem like the irresponsible type. For sure they will have children, but they are getting married for one reason and one reason only - love. Baby being on board has nada to do with it. Trust me, I'm not a tabloid.

Now to the important part are the wedding bells that will ring at St. George's Chapel silver? One can dream...!

If The Tiara Fits

You Can Call Me Queen K...
Kate Middleton 
I think my friend Shani Bayne is wearing off on me. I have never been a huge Royal watcher, but thanks to her Royal loving ways I am now paying more attention to the goings on over the pond. Yeah, I admit it, I am looking forward to Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's televised wedding.

With that cat out of the bag, I always did love Princess Diana. She took the Royal thing to a whole new level. She was accessible, kind, philanthropic, she gave not only of her money, but of her time and the greatest gift you can give anyone, her love.

So my interest in Kate Middleton donning one of Diana's favorite tiaras, The Cambridge Lover's Knot to a diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace, is most likely about what a lovely tribute it was to one of the most beloved women in history. 

"Yes" and my heightened awareness of the Royal Family due to Shani, damn you woman!

It Takes Two

Girls Gone Wild
Vanessa Hudgens & Jennifer Lopez
After the big news of Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle yesterday and the continued barrage of press today (most likely up until the wedding) - I thought we might take a quieter turn today. To streets of New York to be exact.

It is unclear if they are shooting a scene together for their latest movie Second Act, or out for a winter run. See Jennifer Lopez run. See her run with Vanessa Hudgens. Run Jennifer & Vanessa run!

These two women are clearly headed somewhere, where, who knows, or perhaps they simply had ants in their pants between takes and thought they were born to run. 

Whatever the case, this is what I call a Tuesday Tease, you're welcome. Teasing is something I'm expert at and one should always play to ones strengths. 

Have a good one!

It's On! Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Photo:
Michael Shinafelt
Upon waking today,to what did my wandering eyes did appear, something other than Cyber Monday BS & hyperbole luckily.

"Yes" they have made it official Harry & Meghan are engaged and getting married in the spring. 

Just a mere handful of weeks ago I saw a headline blazing on Star Magazine that the two were going to become betrothed. My friend and rabid Royal follower Shani Bayne was waiting in the car for me. Thus while waiting in the Smart & Final checkout line I snapped a photo of the magazine cover and sent it to her.

She was totally excited when I got in the car wondering/hoping it was true. I told her even though no official announcement had been made several other media outlets were speculating the same thing, where there's smoke there's, you know, fire!

This morning, lo and behold...glad the announcement was made today, seriously, Cyber Monday, WTF?!

Royals

Intriguing
Meghan Markle 
"And we'll never be royals, It don't run in our blood, That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz" - Lorde 

While I have never really been into the whole Royal Family thing with the exception of Princess Diana, I do have a passing interest in Meghan Markle.

The thing I think that intrigues me about her is, she is an actress dating Prince Harry. Actresses' aren't the usual cup of tea for Royals, that's for sure.

She is also racially mixed. Which is way atypical for a Royal to be courting. She said this about it: "My dad is Caucasian and my mom is African-American ... I have come to embrace [this and] say who I am, to share where I'm from, to voice my pride in being a strong, confident, mixed-race woman."

You go Meghan! The photo of her was taken recently at the Invictus Games in Toronto where not coincidentally Prince Harry was attending too.

I wish you two the best! Happy last Monday of September!!!
