Michael's Musings

Who's Your Leather Daddy Zombie?
Michael Shinafelt

"For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller" - Vincent Price, Michael Jackson's Thriller

Being this is my last column before Halloween I made an executive decision to try to make this a horrific experience for you ghouls.

The hardest part of that decision was what kind of a Halloween image of myself to post. I've exhausted my take on Satan, sent in my clowns one too many times. Bingo! I got it. With The Walking Dead having premiered last week I decided to Zombie myself by using the photo of taken of moi as a Leather Daddy Vampire when I was on the Here TV show "The Lair" and transforming myself into a Leather Daddy Zombie.

Cheers to all you Walking Dead fans of which I am not one. Zombies don't really put a tingle in my spine, but I would always be up to play one, moving on down into the ground...

Dear Mark Wahlberg: God does not forgive one for showing a prosthetic penis

Rick Springfield, Rick Springfield, Rick Springfield on American Horror Story: Cult. If you saw it, you get it.

It is with great sadness that I announce that Myself & Maresa Wickham were the death of "hard" in Jessica's spin class at Gold's Gym Hollywood...R.I.P.

Do you buy all your murder weapons at Home Depot? God you're butch

The Taco Bell crispy chicken quesadilla, it really is as disgustingly good as it looks!

WTF am I doing for Halloween? Why hitting Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA like I do every year with my buddy Scott Jacobs in tow. Tradition Rulz!

Gotta love auto-correct. It told my niece Shauna Waters I "banged" Freeform's The Bold Type recently instead of "binged" it. Disturbing.

Pumpkin Carving 101

Now that is how you carve a pumpkin!

"October's awesome because you can buy a cart full of candy, tons of alcohol, a hockey mask, a chainsaw, and 54 industrial sized trash bags and the cashier won't even look at you weird" - Krista Allen 

Halloween costume recommends? A turban and some make-up

"I am the pumpkin king!" - Jack Skellington, The Nightmare Before Christmas 

Recently I saw Halloween II was on AMC. Nostalgia set in to see Jamie Lee Curtis square off with Michael Myers in a horror movie from my youth. It turned out to be the Rob Zombie version. Yes, I felt like Charlie Brown "I got a rock."

Just Because...Maks & Peta

Dead Couple Walking
Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd

Just Because tonight Dancing With The Stars airs, Just Because, it's well duh, Halloween and Just Because they are hotter than Georgia Asphalt. Here are Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd  at the Maxim 2017 Halloween party in Los Angeles. Hey Maxim/Maksim, I wonder if he and his wife Peta support PETA too?!

Peta is quite sexy as a Walking Dead Little Red Riding Hood, while Max is equally hot as a Walking Dead, something or other. Not sure what his zombie character is supposed to be exactly, but when you ooze sex appeal under that much make-up who cares!

What's that you ask? Do I watch DWTS? Sort of. I watch the clips on YouTube of the celebs I want to see dance. Yes Virginia, I cherry pick the show.

OK, time to get my motivation on, it's Monday after all.

Ciao!

Who Is Lydia Loveless???

"Who Is Lydia Loveless"

on DVD November 24th 

Proof positive the future of rock & roll is alive and well in 

a brilliant 5-foot tall spitfire from Columbus, Ohio

Lydia Loveless documentary and limited-edition live vinyl-only EP 

from Color Me Obsessed director Gorman Bechard 

Wonder who Lydia Loveless is no more!

Filmmaker Gorman Bechard, who has chronicled three of the most influential bands in the history of rock and roll with documentaries about The Replacements, Archers of Loaf, and Hüsker Dü's Grant Hart is turning his camera towards the future with his new film, Who is Lydia Loveless? The feature-length documentary follows Lydia Loveless and her band into the studio as they record their album Real. Along with a chaotic super-charged home-town live performance shot specifically for the film and extensive interviews with Loveless and her band, the rock-doc will delve into the realities, financial and otherwise, of a working musician on the brink of major success. It will examine what it's like to be a woman in the mostly sexist rock & roll world, dealing with cellphones in your face as you sing a heartbreaking tune, piracy, streaming services, and of course answer the question: Who Is Lydia Loveless? "Lydia is the future of rock and roll," director Bechard explains. "She straps you onto an emotional roller coaster of love, lust, drunken mistakes, a little stalking, a lot of heartbreak, an you're left breathless, stunned, happy to have taken the ride." Music journalists from SPIN to Rolling Stone have likewise raved, with her albums always finding their way onto many year-end Best Album lists. "I'm excited to work with Gorman," says Loveless. "He's very passionate about music and about the true meaning and spirit of rock and roll."

The vinyl release, Live From the Documentary Who is Lydia Loveless?, is an exclusive Record Store Day release featuring 6 tracks recorded at a hometown performance in Columbus, Ohio.  Bechard's three previous music docs have all won critical praise. Rolling Stone called Color Me Obsessed, A Film About The Replacements one of "The Seven Best New Music Documentaries of the Year."  The Seattle Times raved about the "raw power and mesmerizing hooks" in his Archers of Loaf concert film What Did You Expect? While Every Everything: The Music, Life & Times Of Grant Hart was labeled "beautifully sad" by The Village Voice.  He is currently in post production on documentaries about Wilco's Jay Bennett, as well as newly-signed Bloodshot Records recording artist Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. Bechard is also the filmmaker behind the ASPCA-award-winning animal welfare documentary A Dog Named Gucci. Who is Lydia Loveless? will be released on an extra-filled DVD and streaming services from MVD Entertainment Group on Friday, November 24th, 2017. Live From the Documentary Who is Lydia Loveless? (which includes a copy of the DVD) will be available as a Record Store Day exclusive on that same day. For more information please visit: www.WhoIsLydiaLoveless.com   Pre-order the DVD at MVDshop.com or on Amazon Trailer: https://vimeo.com/149648442  # # #

Just Because...Gigi Hadid

Tell Me About It, Stud
Gigi  Hadid

Just Because I like the costume, Just Because it's Halloween & Just Because I can - here is Gigi Hadid dressed up as Sandy from the classic movie musical Grease for the Season of the Witch.

This photo is a stunner to me. Leave it to Ms. Hadid to treat wearing a Halloween costume as a sashay down the catwalk, meow!

Everything about this costume is perfection, including the fact that she actually bears a striking resemblance to Olivia Newton-John who played the role in the film.

For me out of all the celebrity model off springs that are out there now, Gigi is one of the ones who actually deserves to be at the top of the ladder. Some of the others, well not so much. She is the definition of a Supermodel.

Only 11 more days until Halloween, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my freak on...Boo!
