Purple Rain in NYC

On Topic
Lady Gaga

"Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out 
For something new, that means you too" - Prince, Purple Rain

Recently Lady Gaga was snapped in NYC sporting a T-Shirt bearing tribute to the late great Prince. This is timely in many ways considering the outcome of this weeks Presidential Election, and I am sure that's the way Gaga intended it, so there!

Honestly last night was the first decent night's sleep since the debacle I have gotten.

The lyrics above from the song really hit home, especially now. Times they are a changing, we do need to reach out for something new. Time will tell how everything plays out, but one thing is for sure, we need to dust off our disappointment and come together and do the right thing by one another. Remember there is strength in unity and our own individual personal power. No one can take that away from us.

T.G.I.F! Have a terrific weekend!

Michael's Musings

Naughty Guys Need Love Too
Michael Shinafelt 

Buckle up peeps your in for a bumpy ride with this week's thoughts. Are you ready? OK, let's get to it grab a pussy there's nothing to it...

Disgusting thy name is Donald Trump and the people who voted for him.

Why has no one questioned whether the election was rigged or not? If Hillary had won I am sure the orange bitch baby  would be carrying on instead of stepping down with dignity and class like Clinton did.

They should make a movie about this election and title it: Revenge of the Deplorables.

11/9/2016 Dear Diary, it was 95 degrees or more throughout the Los Angeles area. In the immortal words of Paris Hilton "That's Hot."

Kentucky Muffin, it's a thing, watch Vanderpump Rules if you don't believe me.

They should play the song Tits & Ass from a Chorus Line when Melania Trump makes appearances as First Lady.

Below the line will blow your mind

I will never experience the trauma of couch butt

Sarah Paulson's horrific accent is the scariest thing on this season's American Horror Story "Oh my God!" 

For all you straight men out there who voted for Donald Trump, congratulations you are now going to know what it's like to be f#@ked!

Today I think I will hit Subway, I feel the need to feed on something twelve inches. Sometimes I can be so ambitious. 

Catch you later!

Ocean's 8, America 0

3 + 5 = 8
Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett & Rihanna

First let me say I never knew I lived in such a country that would elect someone like Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. I thought I might wake up this morning only to find it was like that one season of Dallas that turned out to be a dream. No such luck.

Honestly at this moment in my personal history I am numb. Rather than continue ruminating about my extreme disappointment and shame for the country I live in and those who just sent it into some kind of fresh hell, I will try to deflect my icky feelings a little by posting this image of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett & Rihanna filming Ocean's 8 in New York's Central Park.

They look like they are having a blast! Their smiles are infectious, may they serve as a reminder that we still have the power to be kind to one another. We are all really going to need it these next four years.

Cheers!

Election Day 2016

My Recent Nose Job
Michael Shinafelt

Let me start this off by saying, I've already voted. In case you could not tell by the image I posted. How about I follow that up with this election has been the biggest shit show in American History.

Seriously, we as people of the United States of America should be highly embarrassed by it. It has been a reality show that could air on the Bravo TV Network. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but in terms of government, world wide security and issues that affect people's lives, WTF?!

OK, I am now stepping down from my soapbox, not! If you vote for Donald Trump today, I'm confused. If you vote for a third party because you are so Bernie or Bust, free your mind. I'm talking to you rich and entitled Susan Sarandon who no matter what happens in this election you will still be fine. So stop trying to use your position to vote with your asshole and influence the easily swayed. Also to all you millennials who need a babysitter still, cry to mother, or better yet, try to affect a positive change in the world. 

For the most part the people of America have been treating this election year like a rebel without a clue. I hope today you get it together and do what is in the best interest of this country.

So how did I vote two weeks ago? I proudly voted for Hillary Clinton. 

Happy Election Tuesday, and Beware of pussy grabbers at the polls!

Shake Your Booty! LaLa Kent "Vanderpump Rules"

My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard
LaLa Kent

Last season Vanderpump Rules added a new female cast member. Someone enigmatic, pretty & sexy as F-U-C-K! One Ms. LaLa Kent.

Kent quickly became a fan favorite overshadowing, the regular returning cast Kristen Doutie, Stassi Schroeder, Katie Maloney, Scheana Marie & Ariana Madix. Please those women have nothing on Kent she is an entity all unto herself.

LaLa was a breath of fresh air quite different from the usual neurotic & psychotic Sur female employee. She has her feet planted firmly on the ground and knows who the fuck she is. 

So what does the girl with the most cake do? Set herself apart from the pack, as if she already hasn't, by wearing a sheer dress that reveals one of her best ASS - Sets to the season 5 kick off party for the show.

That's code for you could see LaLa's bare bum walking down the red carpet in case you didn't quite get the gist. 

Part of the reason I am drawn to LaLa is she reminds me of myself. How you may ask? Fluff up your pillow and dream on that one. Season 5 of Vanperpump Rules premieres on Bravo tonight!

Turn Back Time, With Cher

Turn Back Time,
Please Cher

Tomorrow daylight savings time ends. Yeah, I know, don't you hate that? This year instead of riding on a bummer about it, I decided to make it a fun little party of sorts.

How you may ask? How about we turn back time with ten quotes from Singer/Academy Award winning actress of the song about past regret, Cher!

Isn't this much more entertaining than being annoyed with it like most of us usually are?

Happy Saturday before the end of time!

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great. 

Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what they're doing is right.

I've always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me. 

I am never offended when I see the drag-queens dressed up like me. 

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him. 

If you're black in this country, if you're a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican? 

Anyone who's a great kisser I'm always interested in. 

I keep coming back because I have no place else to go. What else would I do? I love to sing. 

People are negative no matter what you do. 

I'm amusing and crazy on Twitter. I talk about important things, stupid things.
