Michael's Musings

Love A Man In Uniform?
Michael Shinafelt

Yes, it's that random day of the week I get to bridle you in and make you submit. Who's Your Daddy? If you said Michael Shinafelt, welcome. Other answers will be considered a very naughty mistake and you know what that means...

So with my thoughts and impressions from the last time I posted this, until now, here I go, and there is nothing you can do about it!

Special thanks to Vika Zal for getting me into the invite only screening at the Irish Film Festival in Los Angeles of "Handsome Devil." A wonderful coming of age gay themed film. See it if you get a chance.

To Naama Kates my lovely date for the evening: Tayin' in the Santa Ana Wins...

OK, as you all know Entertain Me endorses Hillary Clinton. Here is one beef I have about her supporters who aren't me. You bag on Trump for his instigating of hate and then turn around and post on social media that anyone who doesn't support Hillary can stop following you, remove themselves from your friends list etc. Food for thought.

Missing someone's spunk, is that a thing?

I was unable to attend Folsom in San Francisco this year. Thanks to the world wide web felt like I didn't miss a thing. 

Ever Notice Donald Trump and Heat Miser are never in the same room?

"Cheers to our hairless vaginas" - shit Gwyneth Paltrow says

Scream Queens is back for a second season. I really don't want to extrapolate.

Oh ye of little hype. Today I just realized by flipping channels that Project Runway is already two weeks into it's 15th season.

There's someone for everyone. Yes, really.

Enjoy your "Hump Day" I know I plan to ; )

What Happens In Vega$...

Want To Join Us?
Sting, John Stamos & Taylor Lautner

What happens in Vega$, for the most part, usually stays there. Luckily in this case this shot of hot three way Sting, John Stamos & Taylor Lautner didn't end up in one of the proverbial holes in the desert. 

The three stopped to strike a pose backstage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival held at the T-Mobile Arena in Sin City this past Saturday.

No word on what they did post photo op...like I stated above for the most part what happens in Vega$ pretty much stays there. Damn! 

Now if you'll excuse me I have some serious fantasizing to do.

Happy Monday!

Celebrating Pin-Up Girl With Traci Lords!

OK, so here is the 411 on this past Friday September 23rd, I went to the launch of "Bad Girl" Traci Lords clothing line for Pin-Up Girl at the boutique in Burbank, CA with one of my partners in crime Ms. Jackie Kilmer.

It was an awesome evening! The clothes? Well if I were a woman they would definitely be my groove! Oh, and don't forget there are T-Shirts available for all you guys out there who are Traci fans too. So rather than me going on, and on, here are some photos from a really great evening "Beat It Creep!"

Morning Coffee

Morning Has Broken
Sharon Stone

It's Saturday morning time to wakey, wakey eggs and bakey...and of course a delightful cup of liquid crack otherwise known as coffee. For me it would be tea specifically Tejava, whatever it is you use to give yourself that morning jolt, let's face it we all use something, it's time to get it together and start your day, now, yes, I said do it and do it now!

Most of us should be so lucky to bend our ayems like one Ms. Sharon Stone pictured above on an outdoor patio that feels more like she is on luxury vacation than at her house reading her "Morning E-Mails" as she captioned the image.

Personally my morning experience is a very average one in comparison. My alarm sitting on my desk wakes me, I get up turn it off and flip on the light next to it, turn the computer on and get cracking on my routine all within the confines of my bedroom. Shocking, I know, right?!

Hey Sharon, can I come do my morning routine at your place sometime???

Did You Miss Us?

It's Party Time!
Kyle Richards & Lisa Vanderpump

In case any of you out there are having some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills yearning, like me, until the season six December 1st premiere on Bravo. Never fear Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards are here!

The two were red as Rosea Wine while attending a party in  Puerto Vallarta, Mexico together. Guess they really have kissed in make-up.

The photo is courtesy of Ms. Richard's Instagram, with no clever caption to accompany it. C'mon Kyle with your sass I expected more from you!

Being that it is Friday and that the weekend is here I thought this was a groovy way to get the party started!

T.G.I.F!
