Celebrate Pride!

Today is the Gay Pride March and Festival in my city, Los Angeles, CA. In honor of the day I have decided to post images of gay celebrity couples. 

Their high visibility has helped acceptance of the gay community on a world wide platform that not every individual has.

So join me and Celebrate Pride!

George Takei & Brad Altman

Wanda & Alex Sykes

Ellen Degeneres & Portia De Rossi

Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka 

Happy Pride To All!

Peace Out

No Bird, Just Peace
Colton Haynes

When I saw this photo I did a double take. The first reason was because I thought it was hot. The second was because it made me want to know more about the guy in it and who he was. 

Honestly I did not recognize newly engaged actor Colton Haynes of Arrow & Teen Wolf fame as a suicide blonde. Yes, it took pulling the image up for me to see the name attached before I put that piece of the "Who's That Guy?" puzzle together.

Colton is "so fetch" in his casual suit and eye catching hair color, so much so that I wouldn't mind having him as one of my...Ha! Did you think I was going to spill on that? That's for the book I am writing.

Carrying on, Colton is giving the paparazzi the fingers, you know the universal sign for peace. Which I think is a perfect message for a Saturday, or any day really.

So "Peace Out' with Colton. C'mon you know you want to.

It's Hammock Time!

Put The Lime In The Coconut...
Brie Larson

Another week another shit show in the US of A. With all of the turmoil surrounding our daily lives wouldn't it be nice to get away? You don't have to go far, to tune out. Find a hammock, a coconut and a good book and bingo! Staycation! 

Put this image of Oscar Winner Brie Larson doing just that on your visualization board as something to aspire to this weekend.

See how content she looks? She may be at the beach, which is something you can add as well to the mix. However if you are unable to reach the beach, try another tranquil location, heck even being in your bedroom shutting out the world is a very peaceful substitute.

I know I personally find my refuge taking a spin class. However this weekend I'm going to try a book on the couch in addition to it. You know, up the ante a little. 

T.G.I.F! The word of the day is: rejuvenate!

Celebrate!

Happy Gay Pride Month! You heard me. June is the month of PRIDE - and this weekend is the Gay Pride celebration in Los Angeles, CA. 

Since I am proud of who I am, here it is on the table. All bets are off, because a "wonder"ful film I saw this week preaches the truth, and then some.

Extra! Extra! read all about it, now!

I have never seen a comic book film quite like Wonder Woman. Hell I haven't seen many. But this one is film making at it's finest. Oh, and it also subscribes to love being the answer.

While I won't be attending the Pride Parade this year, I will be having brunch with good friends.

This week on Pretty Little Liars. Aria is still being a twat, Hanna & Caleb got engaged...swoon!

I saw Nancy Wilson of Heart this past weekend with her new band Roadcase Royale at The Rose in Pasadena. Kick Ass!!!

Gay as a whistle

Who the F#ck was clamoring for the return of Love Connection with Andy Cohen? Seriously.

Sometimes you feel like a pig, sometimes you don't.

Hump Day & Chill

See Tony Chill
Tony Goldwyn

How has your week been going? Mine has been pretty great. In addition too getting a lot accomplished I took some me time and went and saw Wonder Woman yesterday which I highly recommend.

Oh what's that you say? What does it have to do with anything? Well first off this is my place on the Internet to say and do what I want and second, it's Hump Day so chill.

The middle of the week is when one should take some time to unwind and treat themselves to something. I makes it easier to muddle through until the weekend. 

Nothing represents my POV more than this image Scandal's Tony Goldwyn in Bali. Playing the President has to be a tough, not to mention stressful job.

Check out Tony reclined on the hotel bed enjoying room service barefoot in shorts. Now that's the way you do it.

Obviously you don't have to get a hotel room in Bali to do this, but this image alone should plant the idea in your head of what my philosophy is and that is: Chill and be to really be good to yourself. Trust me if you do you will feel better and everything else will fall into place.

So don't forget to chill today by doing something for you. 

Can I get an Amen? Of course I can!

Here Come The Judds

Naomi & Wynonna Judd

Remember when the Judds were hot, hot , hot?

Then you are old.

Together, Country Music icons Wynonna and Naomi Judd made musical history throughout their career receiving eight Gold and eight Platinum records, selling over 20 million albums and scoring twenty Top 10 hits between 1984-1990. Now, Curb Records is excited to bring fans the ultimate collection of those years together. The Judds – All-Time Greatest Hits will be released on Friday, June 30 – and will feature each of the classic hits that helped to make them a household name on Country Radio in the 1980s and 1990s.

"Some things continue to get better with time, like fine wine and the Judds music," says Naomi Judd. "I’m so proud that our music has stood the test of time. It makes my heart smile when I turn on Country Radio and I can sing along with our hits."

The twenty-one song set will feature each of the duo’s top ten hits, as well as “You Can’t Go Home Again (Flies On The Butter),” a recording from 2011. Beginning with the classic #1 hit “Mama, He’s Crazy” in 1984, and continuing through 1991’s “One Hundred and Two,” the duo established a career that will stand with one of the top duets in Country Music history. Fourteen times the duo topped the Billboard Country Singles chart, and each of their five studio albums were certified Gold or Platinum.

Along with their sales and airplay success, The Judds also dominated the awards shows like no artist before their time. Starting in 1984, the duo netted nine CMA Awards, including a run from 1985-1991 as either Vocal Duo or Vocal Group of the Year. Their trophies also include the 1985 Single of the Year “Why Not Me,” which is also included on The Judds – All Time Greatest Hits. They also won seven straight trophies from the Academy of Country Music – and the 2013 Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award. Their award collection also includes five Grammy awards. The Judds were the subject of a 1988 CBS TV-Special called Across The Heartland, a 1995 NBC mini-series based on Love Can Build A Bridge, the best-selling novel written by Naomi, and a 2011 reality series, The Judds, on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
