What Would Barnabas Collins Say?

Barnabas Collins

Remember the TV Show Dark Shadows? Of course you do (if not it's called Google) Then you have memories of it's resident vampire Barnabas Collins.

Ever so often I think to myself when I'm stuck: "Self, what would Barnabas Collins say?"

Well here is today's words of wisdom from the sage himself...

"Ah, music. Yes, I'm rather fond of the music of the day. "I am a picker, I am a grinner / I am a lover and I am a sinner / I play my music in the sun" If only Shakespeare had been as eloquent."

There you have it, that's all you need to know.

Get up and boogie indeed!

C'mon Barbie!

Standing Tall
Margot Robbie
as
Barbie!!!

OK, I admit the ONLY reason the Barbie movie was on my radar remotely was the talent involved. "Yes" I tend to pay attention when Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach decide to combine forces.

Yet, I was still skeptical, I mean honestly what can you really do with the premise that wouldn't be ridiculous?!

Well even though I'm still not sure what they are doing with the actual film in terms of premise, after seeing the teaser trailer that dropped yesterday...sing me up, I'm there!!!

C'mon Barbie Let's Go Party...Hit the teaser below...

Current Mood

Madonna

 Dear Jessie | Madonna

🎶Pink elephants and lemonade, Dear Jessie hear the laughter running through the love parade🎶

Current Mood = benevolent and nothing says that like a good Madonna song. Madonna was at the peak of her powers (for many years actually) when she recorded Dear Jessie for her amazing album Like A Prayer (my personal fave album by her is Erotica) -

Go grab a lemonade and check out the pink elephant in the room, hey it's a love parade after all!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Just Call Them Angels
l-r
Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson & Jaclyn Smith

I am having the post October let down withdrawals. "Yes" Minions I am missing Scary Season and Halloween something fierce at present. 

Thus here is a much needed Hump Day & Chill pick me up. This photo of the original three Charlie's Angels aka The Golden Three as I like to call them, Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson & Jaclyn Smith is certainly helping me beat my post Scary Season blues.

Nothing was like the original Charlie's Angels series it was lightning in a bottle as they say. Not to mention no one will ever top the original trio of bad ass Queens.

So join me in moving on from the most wonderful time of the year and have a holly jolly Hump Day & Chill with Michael and his angels, won't you? Say "Yes" I know you will...

It's Halo Time!

Summer Is Here!

It's the first day of Summer and nothing says fun in the sun to me like the movie Grease. Grease recently turned 40 on June 16th. I remember seeing it the Summer when it first came out in a theater and I was completely captivated and was ready to Born To Hand Jive when I left the theater and find me some Summer Lovin'!

Little did I know many years later when I went from being a young lad in Junior High ("Yes" I was in the7th grade when it came out) that I would eventually move to Los Angeles and attend a handful of to do's at Randal Kleiser's house, the director behind this classic.

Grease really captures every aspect of what Summer means to me, and I suspect many of you due to it's enduring appeal. 

So let's get systematic and hydromatic and try not to look at everyone like they are Sandra Dee.

Love your summer like Greased Lightning!!!

Father's Day

Who's Your Daddy?

Today is the day we celebrate Fathers, Dads, Daddy's. "Yes" I know it's kind of cliche' commemorating this day with an meme from The Empire Strikes Back, but I happened to see it again recently on TV and it still holds up as a grand piece of filmmaking.

However the "twist" of Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's Father, well honestly who didn't see that one coming? You merely have to be familiar with any sort of classic literature to be in the loop on that revelation.

So let's raise a light saber to all those Fathers out there and hope we cut no one's hand off!

Moorehead Monday

Agnes Moorehead
as
Endora

Honestly I don't know WTF has taken me, but I am in a state of whimsy. Thus I present to you a new "thing" that sprang from my fertile imagination this ayem - Moorehead Monday in honor of Agnes Moorehead who played Endora on one of my fave classic TV Shows Bewitched.

When there's magic in the air you go with it Minions and there has been plenty of late. 

So I choose to honor all that is possible on June the 13th 2002, because that's the way I roll sometimes.

Happy Moorehead Monday!

Hump Day & Chill

Anthony Perkins

Since I've been hanging out on the Universal Studios Lot of late. I have been under the influence of movie magic. That and the Alfred Hitchcock "Get Ready For Your Close-Up!" image I saw posted inside one of the buildings has me thinking a Hump Day & Chill in honor of Anthony Perkins is in order.

I've always found Perkins quite sexy, there's that handsome boyish exterior that conveys a certain All American innocence that masks a freak flag that is ready to fly at a moments notice. 

Not to mention Anthony happens to star in three of my all time favorite films: Psycho, Pretty Poison & Crimes of Passion. "Yes" in all of them he use his seemingly "normal" facade to mask some really twisted stuff!

Hey, I like bad boys who have a pretty exterior but give off a vibe that you just know there is a lot more going on beneath the surface fer sure.

So here is to the late, not to mention great Anthony Perkins.

It's time to Hump Day & Chill Minions!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Montgomery Clift

Look it's Montgomery Clift relaxing on a beach! "Yes" Clift is capturing a vibe for me in this languid shot of him having a Hump Day & Chill oceanside.

He's also water, as in a tall drink of one...oh those baby blues, swoon!

Don't you feel like kicking back and downing an adult beverage with Monty and taking in the scenery, I know I sure do.

Oh, what's my favorite film starring Clift? Why Suddenly Last Summer naturally. Hey nothing beats Tennessee Williams in my world. Here's the break down on it:

"In this adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play, young socialite Catherine Holly (Elizabeth Taylor) is traumatized and committed after witnessing her cousin's violent death on a trip to Europe. Her aunt, Violet Venable (Katharine Hepburn), wants to hide the events of her son's death and attempts to bribe young surgeon Dr. John Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift) to perform a lobotomy on Catherine. But John vows to find out the truth about Catherine's state before taking any action."

So let's Hump Day & Chill at the beach with Monty shall we Minions, oh yes we shall...

Trim Your Bush(es)

We've Got Big Bushes And We Can Not Lie

Well Minions today is the day to get out there and trim your bush(es) - "Yes" it's World Naked Gardening Day.

Here to celebrate with us are various types of naked men and their bushes that desperately are in need of a trim.

Won't you shed your clothes and join them in the garden? Too shy well then suite yourself, you'll have to trim your bush alone.

But, if you want to give it whirl and make it a group effort well...

Shed your inhibitions at the gate!

God Save The Queen!

The Queen's Gambit
Elizabeth II & Friends

Who says Elizabeth II doesn't have a sense of humor, obviously has not seen this photo of her. "Yes" the Queen of England has some mad photobombing skills, add that to my 2021 Bingo Card.

Check out these two unsuspecting young women who thought they were capturing "their moment." See there she is in the background grinning ear to ear The Queen!

Yeah, she knew what she was doing and loving every minute of it. Hey Elizabeth knows how to party Minions.

Thus I leave you with this bit of levity today, I hope it entertains you as much as it did me...

Photobomb!

It's Halloween!

1978 & 2018
Halloween

Well Halloween is going to be a little bit different this year, OK way different this year. Except for me perhaps. Yeah, I've gone to the West Hollywood Street Carnival a few times. But mostly I stay in and watch horror movies.

Thus, that is exactly what I am doing tonight. I'm going to watch the original Halloween which is my favorite scare flick of all time and then watch the awesome 2018 follow up.

Hey, I know how to party, oh "yes" I do!!!

So what's on your Halloween agenda?

Meow! It's "National Black Cat Day"

James Dean

With a scant 4 more days until Halloween, how fitting that today is National Black Cat Day...Meow! 

So I let my fingers hit the keyboard and Google the WWW and what to my wandering eyes did appear but a pictorial to honor Halloween of Black Cats and their celebrity owners. One in partik stood out, well a few actually did but this one popped a little more.

Behold the beauty of James Dean and his Black Cat, oh, and there's also a table involved too, for good measure (I guess.)

For those of you reading this who don't know who James Dean is, and I am sure there are a few. First of all take the Walk of Shame and then do a Google search. You'll thank me, trust...

Seeing James and his pussy takes me back to a simpler time, also a time in Hollywood that will never come back. "Yes" Virginia all the glamour is gone, but legends live on!

Go Black Cat or go home! Have you cleaned the litter box?!

Hump Day & Chill

Feed Me!
Nothing says Hump Day & Chill like a shirtless hunk being fed grapes, so it is written and so it shall be, at least for today.

Life has been pretty stagnant of late, the world seems to have stopped. but we can still smell the roses.

When I saw this image I felt transported and calm. It fed a few fantasies of mine as well. OK, they really aren't fantasies, more like memories. Fluff up your pillow and dream about that one.

This is a perfect oasis for me and gives me all sorts of feels. You know what feels are, correct? Like tranquil, relaxed, groovy get the picture???

So I'm kicking my Hump Day & Chill off with this image in mind. It's giving me life at present and I hope you all get something from it as well.

In the immortal words of Audrey II "Feed Me!"

National Junk Food Day

This Ain't No $5 Foot Long
Gigi Hadid
Pssssssssst! Did you hear today is National Junk Food Day!!! Don't believe me, or that there is such a thing??? Google it, just Google it.

Thus the Entertain Me mascot for this most sacred of days is supermodel Gigi Hadid chowing down on an In-N-Out Burger. Why In-N-Out you may ask, and even if you didn't you are going to find out, Because that is my favorite junk food.

What's that? Why didn't I post a photo of myself stuffing my face with a double double and onions? Because In-N-Out isn't open yet that's why, damn it!

Besides Gigi looks cuter doing it than I would, seriously I would look like a pig at a trough, with sauce all over my face a big disgrace. Dribble, dribble toil and nibble, ya know...

So if you are looking for an excuse to be a hog, today's your day. Live it, own it, love it.

Just Because...Androgyny

Man/Woman - Woman/Man
Just Because, we all deserve a break, Just Because it was all the rage once & Just Because this is an awesome photo it's time for some Androgyny!

"Boys in the girl's room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny" - Androgyny, Garbage


While it has never gone out of style, androgyny was really big in the 80's. It was also something I could never pull off, trust me I tried. Which is why I never partook in it.

So, it's time to play a little "Just Because" game. Can you guess who the two gender benders above are? Once is a music legend and the other is a critically acclaimed actress of extreme versatility.

Any thoughts? Any answers

Well I am not going to toy with you, the world can be frustrating enough these days. The answers are David Bowie & Tilda Swinton!

Now go do something today "Just Because"...
