Stranger Things, Monsterpalooza

The Odd Couple
Ann Robinson & Ron Jeremy

This past weekend an event that is stranger than fiction and on the edge of glory took place in Pasadena, CA. Prepare thy self for Monsterpalooza!

Monsterpalooza celebrates the art of monsters and movie magic. Which brings me to the stranger than fiction part of the event.

Call it When Ann Met Ron or Two Worlds Collide, or whatever your devilish little heart desires. The palooza brought together classic War of the Worlds (1953) star Ann Robinson and an all together unique kind of creature Ron Jeremy. Ron in case you aren't aware is famous for the giant monster inside his pants, a porn star!

When I saw this image of beauty and the hedgehog come through on my Facebook feed via Ann's son, musician Estefan Bravo, well being a giver I just had to post it to kick off the week.

On that note, enjoy your Monday and if you are observant, Happy Passover!

Tupac Assassination: Battle For Compton

Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton" 

Creates International Media Frenzy

Here comes even more speculation and conspiracy theories

Controversial 2017 Film Reveals New Truths About Stalled Murder Investigation

The March 10th release of the controversial new film Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton (Available on Amazon.com, I-Tunes, Google Play and On Demand platforms nationally) has created an international media storm. News pieces about the movie have gone "viral" being picked up by over 1,000 web sites globally and have been viewed by millions. VH-1, BET, Reuters, World Entertainment News, NBC-Los Angeles and Reuters have featured "Compton" in their media.

Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton is the third in the MVD distributed Tupac Assassination franchise, which all explore various facts and theories surrounding the unsolved murders of 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Tupac Shakur and former rapper Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. "Compton" explores a new understanding of the killing of Shakur, and alleges that the shooting that occurred in Las Vegas September 7, 1996 was not a direct attempt on Shakur, but Shakur's fatal shooting occurred because of a takeover scheme against his record label (Death Row Records) CEO Marion "Suge" Knight, orchestrated by insiders to the Death Row label. 

Just days ago the internet "broke" with news that the former CEO of Death Row Records, Marion Suge Knight, stated through his attorney Thaddeus Culpepper, that Knight endorsed the Compton explanation of the means motive and opportunities that lead to the 1996 shooting. "Compton", which was based on the books "Tupac187: The Red Knight" and "Chaos Merchants" was distilled for Knight into an outline entitled "Tupac Murder Facts" and read to Knight, who is incarcerated pending charges of killing a man in what Knight calls self-defense. Knight was quoted as asking "Who are these guys" and how they knew the details shown in Compton. Knight, an eyewitness and victim to the shooting then confirmed the accuracy of the story laid out in Compton as being true. (Culpepper claims the remarks were made "off the record" and not intended for public consumption, otherwise known as "leaked".)

Over the last 20 years there has been much in the way of speculation and innuendo about that happened to cause the threat on Knight and Shakur. Police have not solved the case. Some retired LAPD detectives have posited opposing theories on who may have been behind the murders, but no one yet has come forward with a comprehensive understanding and context to the homicides until now. Fans have raved that "Tupac Assassination: Battle For Compton" "wraps it up." Fan sentiment is that the story "just makes sense" and that once one understands the entire scope of the greater problem that eventually lead to the shootings, they aren't surprised by how the shootings happened- or why. Case closed.

Russell Poole, the Wallace case investigator who worked on the writing of the film, brought all of his investigation notes to the table for the directors Michael Douglas Carlin and Richard "RJ" Bond to review. Interviews with Federal investigators, prosecutors and informants drive the narrative of Compton to answer the simple question: "Were the murders of Tupac Shakur and Wallace part of a larger crime?"

Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton from MVD is currently available for rent or purchase at Amazon, I-Tunes, On Demand, DVD and Blu Ray editions internationally. 

Behold...Hot Pink Satan!

Here To Give U A H A N D
Hot Pink Satan

Bet  you thought you'd never see a byline like this, ever, am I right? You know I am, well since the reality is that you have let me extrapolate.

There's a new band walking the earth and they call themselves, you guessed it - Hot Pink Satan!

Here is the 411 from the mouth of the Pink Lords of Hell:

"Clea Cutthroat, Allinaline & James Lynch. Hot Pink Satan is a dark electronic adventure into the sparkling flames of a hot pink hell. Eating up beats with a fork n' knife."

Their first single & video H A N D dropped yesterday, here to tell us all about it is the Dark Mistress of Pink, Clea Cutthroat! 

MS: Tell how HPS was born, was it bloody?

CC: HPS was born at a secret space station, that uses a Drag bar as a front in Pittsburgh. The birthing process involved a lot of blood, milk, and glitter...a lot of glitter. Glitter never leaves, and neither will Hot Pink Satan 

MS: HPS is described as " a dark electronic adventure into the sparkling flames of a hot pink hell" extrapolate please

CC: Well, we like to think of HPS as an experience. We don't live in a box, and neither should anyone else. We're electronic and evil, but we'll still throw some glitter on ya, and buy you a cocktail in the morning.  

MS: The first HPS single bears the ominous title HAND, should one be afraid?

CC: Haha! We're gonna leave you in suspense there. Hands are magical extremities that can do so many awesomely cruel and delicious things. I'll let you be the judge of that. But, I'm gonna plate my hand in gold and call it "baby"

MS: Awesome make-up for the first single! I assume HPS's look will always be unique to each baby it drops?

CC: Thank you! Heather Jingles Meek did our makeup. (www.instagram.com/jinglesbitch) She is an incredible makeup artist based out of Pittsburgh. We have been dying to work with her and the timing was perfect! Yes, you can definitely expect that everything we release will be a new artistic expression...as every song is anyways. I really love being able to dive into the visuals and storytelling. You can be anything, do anything. Magic's in the makeup, and the vision beats deeply in our cold black hearts 

MS: What does HPS like to do for fun?

CC: We love to drink with drag queens, play with punks, shop for eyeliner with goths, interrupt drum circles, and dine in dungeons.

They're Hot, They're Pink, They're Satan, Get Over It!

Michael Shinafelt

This has been a monster of a week, my schedule has been so hectic that I am going to take a vacation and pack the bags under my eyes. Kidding, maybe, or perhaps not.

Luckily this means I am cutting to the chase, I'm going to do it and do it now!!!


Barry Manilow officially comes out. Whatever, queen please.

Is Kendall Jenner at a protest or a swap meet? I can't tell...

Personally I hate episodes of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills where they are eating caviar. Yes, I am jealous the hunger is real.

Don't call me a c#nt, I lack that kind of depth and warmth

It's a long & nappy road

The Little Mermaid

Splash!
Lea Michele

If only the world was made up of unicorns, fairies & mermaids, but alas it's not. Well let's settle for a close facsimile shall we?

I present to you a whimsical image of one Lea Michele donning a mermaid tail in a swimming pool. Why she is pretending to be half woman, half fish I do not know, but it's fun and provides levity to the world so I am putting it out there for your enjoyment.

Loosen up and free your imagination and have a blast making up all sorts of scenarios and tranquil fantasies while gazing upon the Little Mermaid.

Mine is that I am a Merman and we are combing the ocean depths together in search of the ruins of Atlantis. Bet you thought I wasn't going to share mine, right???

Have a magical Hump Day!
