Inspiring: Selma Blair

White After Labor Day
Selma Blair

Catching Selma Blair out and about and all smiles at the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles made me feel inspired, not to mention I smiled along with her.

Selma who starred in two of my favorite movies Cruel Intentions & The Sweetest Thing as you may or may not know has Multiple Sclerosis. While I am not in as a tough predicament as Selma I have been basically out of commission for two months and it is coming to an end, soon.

One of the things that always inspired me when I was feeling a little down was checking out Selma's posts on her Instagram page. "Yes" I follow her on there and you should too.

No matter what kind of a day she is having Ms. Blair always manages to find the humor, hope & love in every situation that is thrown at her by this terrible affliction. Her daily posts really put things in perspective. Not only is she an inspiration to others with MS, she is an inspiration to all of us to live our best lives.

Selma has set that bar really high, thus your mission today is to grab life by the ______ the blank is yours to fill in, and not let go!!!

PS Cameron Diaz - I Love You

Cameron Diaz

Let me clarify my love of Ms. Diaz, she is one of my favorite comedic actresses ever!

I will never forget when I first saw her in The Mask with Jim Carrey, I was on Jury Duty and was seated in the waiting area and they had the video on for our amusement, she was the highlight of the film, at least for me.

I continued to follow her career post that, she was also the highlight of the Julia Roberts starer My Best Friend's Wedding, sorry Julia your character was such a mid section with a capital C word that, really, who the Hell would marry your selfish ass?! Cameron's character was by far the more charming of the two of you.

Of course there is the classic There's Something About Mary and a personal favorite the critically vilified The Sweetest Thing with Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. Who could not love the dick song?!!!!!!

Well Cameron has a new one coming out, Sex Tape on July 18th with the equally funny Jason Segel. I can't wait for these two to pair again as they were so amaze balls together in another fave of mine Bad Teacher.

Ms. Diaz is 41 and and loves it! I agree 100% on this one, the 40's are the best! Here is what she has to say about it: 

"I love it," Diaz says  "So much s– just falls away. Fear, mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn’t care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid. You don't worry about what men think. You just don't worry that time registers anything awful." - she recently told Esquire Magazine 

Of note, she strips down in Sex Tape, marking the first time she's been completely nude on screen. 

"It's a first for me. But Jason Segel, (who co-stars) gets naked, too. It's just part of the role. So I did it. I mean, you see everything." 

You Go Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!

Forty is awesome with Cameron Diaz at:
