Post Thanksgiving Wisdom

Regan MacNeil

I've noticed I've been posting a lot memes containing social commentary of late. Well here is something that I'm sure we all practiced yesterday, it being Thanksgiving and all, and should continue to do so.

"Live, Laugh Love" starring the darling possessed version of Regan (Linda Blair) straight outta The Exorcist. 

Hey, demonic possession is in vogue with the recent sequel to The Exorcist hitting theaters recently in October.

Using her for this particular staple of uplifting sayings is quite inspired if you ask me.

Seriously who knows how to "Live, Laugh, Love" better than a centuries old demon.

Hump Day & Chill

Chelsea Handler

Today let's Hump Day & Chill to these sage words from Chelsea Handler. Being it is the day before Thanksgiving I felt this may be something many of us do, and or, need to hear.

"Yes" you heard me Minions some of you are not self aware enough out there to know this is about you. So stop being so vain and step it up and start engaging in this practice. Trust me it will make yours and others Thanksgiving (and other Holidays included) much more "Peachy Keen."

And isn't "Peachy Keen" something we should all aspire to? I believe in the power of this message.

So before you gobble, gobble take some Hump Day & Chill time to, well you know, do what Chelsea says.

Your family will Thank You, instead of wishing YOU had been served with stuffing!

Hello From The Other Side...Current Mood

Regina George
Mean Girls

Happy Post Turkey Day and such. If your like me Regina George best sums up the collective Current Mood out there.

As If! You aren't all feeling like sweatpants are all that fit you presently. Confess it, it's true!

Well I don't know about you, but after a satisfying TG I'm immediately back to watching what I eat. Yeah, I can flip a switch like that.

What's that you say? What did I eat? Well before I had TG dinner late afternoon early evening I indulged in this great individual flat bread sausage and mushroom pizza from Vons. Then the traditional TG dinner complete with pumpkin pie.

Thus today I shall don sweatpants...

Turkey Drop!

Hump Day & Chill

Let Them Eat...
Naomi Campbell

Tis the Hump Day & Chill before Thanksgiving. Being that Hump Day is a little sexy and that we gobble, gobble tomorrow I bequeath you Naomi Campbell serving up her special brand of Thanksgiving day dinner.

In fact Ms. Campbell looks to be one of the things on the menu being served all sprawled out among the desserts. Like she is perhaps sweet and delicious as well.

Well there you have it Minions your pre Turkey Day Hump Day & Chill with Naomi "Sugar Lips" Campbell.

Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street...

TBT: Life Is A Mystery
Michael Shinafelt
I recently arrived back home to Los Angeles after a groovy Thanksgiving spent with my family in Washington state. I got myself back to my roots and nature. Meaning "Yes" I went into the woods to visit my sister's cabin and bared witness to an amazing waterfall that I didn't chase.

Aren't I puny??? I thought so, time to do a 360 if you know what I mean. I'm guessing you do...

Wanna see me do a cartwheel? Asking for a friend.

Doe Your Mama Know?
Michael Shinafelt
Happy Thanksgiving Minions! If you are a turkey and you get scared, does that make you a chicken?

BTW does your Mama know? 

If it she does hopefully it's with waffles and some Cabernet. I'm packing at present, take that however you want, time to tap Turkey Day!

I taste heaven from my knees, hope you do too!

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.

Silly Saturday

Give Me A High C!
Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka
Remember the 1988 movie Big starring Tom Hanks? Of course you might, or perhaps not...but if you do you will understand why this image of Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka dancing on the iconic FAO Schwarz piano in NYC is giving me life today, Saturday November 17th 2018.

Now mind you I have a sense of whimsy from time to time other days too. But it isn't a regular occurrence, so revel in this magic moment minions.

With Thanksgiving next week and then Christmas just around the corner I felt a Silly Saturday was in order. 

After all don't we all deserve it? Yes, yes we do!

Clap your hands together and repeat after moi "I Believe"

Only In California

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie
Laura Dern
How was your Thanksgiving? Well mine was sunny and the temperature was in the 90's. Yes, that's correct, no freezing of the ass for this guy and his fellow minions in the City of Angels

Thus I hereby bring you this photo of one of my fellow sun bunnies and favorite actresses, Laura Dern soaking up the sun in Malibu, wearing nothing more than a black bikini. 

Can you believe she is 50?! 

As someone who is 51, my take is age is just a number and you only get better not older. Laura is genuine proof of this. She recently slayed in HBO's Big Little Lies.

Now would someone please pass me the sunscreen? It's just another 90 degree day here in Los Angeles

Ciao!

Would You Like a Leg? A Thigh? Or...
Michael Shinafelt
Let's start things off by wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. I sincerely thought about listing the things I am thankful for this week. Then I thought who the f#ck am I kidding?!

This Daddy is too authentic for that kind of BS! That does not mean you will not find gratitude in this Turkey Day column. It simply means I am keeping it real like I always do. Yep, it's business as usual my minions...gobble, gobble!

Tea Bags or Tea Bagging? Know the difference???

Every Thanksgiving I wonder: What do Victoria's Secret Models eat today?

For the record I copped a feel off Billy Idol's ass once

Oh Fang! "My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor." - Phyllis Diller

Sandy Zacky's "White Christmas" is a treasure, yep, it's Thanksgiving so listen to it, and listen to it now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueCuT6tB50E

There is always something there to remind me...of what? I don't know
R.I.P.
David Cassidy
David Cassidy passed away. I remember fantasizing hard about this Annie Leibovitz shot image of him from Rolling Stone. It's all about the pubic hair.

What? You want more Christmas? Damn! It's only Thanksgiving!!! OK, here you go Mike Clifford's rendition of "The Christmas Song" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2v214rx7AE

Alright, I will tell you WTF I am thankful for. My friends, my family, my life. The usual suspects.

My advice to anyone? No matter what, keep smiling. Even if you aren't happy it's contagious and has the power to disturb others.

Something I would be thankful for? Anything that would truly make America great again instead of this dictatorship I did not vote for.

On that note, I am thankful turkey has Trytophan, sleep it does a body good

Today will be glorious, I am loving a day with nothing to attend to, except eating!

Boxing is my new jam!

Hitting The Tinsel, Gwen Stefani

Be Your Own Ornament!
Gwen Stefani
Since Thanksgiving draws nigh and is officially/unofficially the start of Christmas, yes I said the start of Christmas, because lets face it Christmas is truly more than a day in December it is one long _______ fill in your own blank.

While many of you turkey gobblers will be hitting the bottle this weekend, witness one Gwen Stefani at the Empire State Building tree lighting ceremony, hitting the tinsel as it were. That's correct minions while most of you are keeping Christmas at bay by drinking the pain away this weekend Gwen is embracing it by dressing like a tree ornament so her and the tinsel are one.

Gee you'd never know she has a holiday CD to promote bearing the ominous title You Make It Feel Like Christmas, now would you???

Give in to your inner tinsel desires and bend it like Gwen, be your own tree ornament damn it!

Zero F#cks Monday

She's Got The Look
Erika Jayne
The less said about last night's American Music Awards the better. The AMAs felt like a fast food menu, you partake but there is no real satisfaction. 

While combing through red carpet photos this morning one of the images stood out for me, the one of Erika Jayne slaying with a that's, well, so Erika. Also because Season 8 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills draws nigh. 

The premiere date is etched in stone in my brain. Why you might ask? Because it is the day after my Birthday. "Yes" the RHOBH premiere date is Tuesday December 19th, the day of my birth is Monday December 18th. Got it? I know you do. So I guess that means Bravo is giving me their present a day late, bastards!

So here it is me giving zero f#cks the Monday before Thanksgiving about the AMA's because, well they were boring AF!

Cheers!

Mannequin Madness!

Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall & Friends
How was everyone's Black Friday? If you descended into madness and went shopping I hope you got what you wanted and your body parts are still intact. If you are not insane, like me, you stayed home and ate some more, woot!

Something that has been a thing of late is the Mannequin Challenge. I have seen so many videos posted on Facebook & Instagram of friends & family taking it over the Thanksgiving Holiday, good times!

Well you just know Taylor Swift along with her friends and family would not be left out, and of course try to one up everyone else by striking a pose on the beach in the chill of fall. It was all captured for her Instagram page, naturally.

She along with Todrick Hall who is starring in Kinky Boots on Broadway took on Turkey Day and the cold to pose like a mannequin below. Hey standing still on a cold deserted beach sounds like a saner idea than going to an overcrowded mall with shoppers clawing for bargains...

Check it out after the jump!

As You Can See It Has Gotten Cooler In Los Angeles
Michael Shinafelt
Hey Peeps, today is the day we tug the turkey and toss the salad, "yes" Virginia it's Thanksgiving!!!

It's also Thursday which is the day of the week I share my thoughts and feelings, because after all sharing is caring. 

Time to stuff that turkey, gobble, gobble!


I am thankful for a many things this year, one is that my testosterone level is healthy and ready to rumble.

Riding on a bummer that Gold's Gym Hollywood is holding no spin classes tomorrow. I could have really used a good helping of Jessica after the culinary sins I will be committing today.

The Wicked Witch of the West really exerted herself in The Wizard of Oz, when she used poppies to make Dorothy and crew sleep. She could have simply had the winged monkeys serve up a giant turkey.

While I am not a fan of the show's music, I am thankful for the cast of Hamilton.

Mashed potatoes rule!

Brie rules too.

Southern California is having such a mild winter, check off another thing to be thankful for.

Who doesn't love jazz hands?

Today is also the day of Football and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Choices are a good thing. Unless your Sophie.

Once I had an awesome pet duck named Duke, no we didn't eat him for Thanksgiving, but the Holiday made me think of him.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
