Last night's Giorgio Moroder Birthday Concert in Los Angeles, got me thinking about one of the dance music pioneers most prolific collaborators, the late great Donna Summer. This is a "you had to be there" moment to understand what an impact these two made in the dance world. Let me put it this way, while I have never been a huge fan of dance music these two took it to a whole other dimension, it was, and still is real and spectacular! So I thought to myself, self why don't we celebrate this Friday April 27, 2018 with one of their unions, the monster hit song from the movie Thank God It's Friday, a little ditty you may have heard of called Last Dance I'm gifting you with it, right here, right now. T.G.I.F!
"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are foot steps on the moon" The above quote is life! Read it an absorb it. If you ever told me at 52 I would be my personal best when I was younger, I would have laughed. Well surprise, surprise I recently dropped 40 lbs. "Yes" I blew up to 213 and am now down to 173 lbs. Hence the selfie portrait this week. It's me right here, right now. My next goal is to drop to 165. I've got this, and so do you whatever it is you want.Time to get busy! Life would be so easy if we could all be insincere, luckily most of us can't Don't go chasing butterflies, especially biracial, bisexual ones The RHOBH reunion part ince aired this weak, um, I mean week You, yes you, are dirty and need your booty washed out by cloud soap Say it, forget it. Write it, regret it. Don't you love farce? "No" personally I love Yellow Baby Buggy Bumpers Just read a headline that states: Taylor Swift Teases - OK, tell me something new Shout out to Kyla Coleman the recent winner of America's Next Top Model. I admire her fearlessness.

As you all know I am a big Pretty Little Liars fan, and I totes can't wait for Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. So as you can imagine I did a total WTF?! Double take when I saw this photo of Lucy Hale and Hillary Clinton together at last on the WWW. That's correct minions one of my favorite young actresses from a show I am a fan of, and the person I voted for in the Presidential race together for one brilliant moment in time. My inner teenage girl has been satiated right here right now. As the story goes the two "bumped into" each other at BeautyCon in NYC. How's that for a random encounter. No word on whether they exchanged beauty tips or not.... Mic Drop! Hillary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton Lucy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucyhale/?hl=en
Tom Connan is an artist whose work embodies all aspects of the human condition. His latest song and video "Charlie" is inspired by the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris. For the uninitiated here is the 411 on it: "Two gunmen armed with automatic rifles stormed the office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a target for Islamist terrorists since it printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2006 and 2011, and killed cartoonists and satirists whose names were called out as they were shot dead in turn."
It goes without saying that I had to hit Tom up to "Take 5" for all of you, as in five questions addressing his latest project. You've got this Tom...
MS: Why do you have an affinity with Charlie Hebdo?
TC: I don’t have any direct affinity with Charlie Hebdo, however when the terrorist attack against them happened in 2015, the world was deeply shocked. I was, too. On 9/11, I was a child so I wasn’t able to really understand what it meant. In 2015, I couldn’t believe haters had killed innocent journalists and caricaturists. I was still sleeping when my mum woke me up and yelled at me: ”they killed Charlie Hebdo!”. It is a symbol, as this is the first attack of many that happened since: Orlando, Barcelona, Manchester, Paris… Basically I had written the track “Charlie” a few days after the attack but I didn’t want to release it. But recently, I thought I had to.
Charlie (sick mix)
MS: Give me your take on the current state of democracy
TC: I have the impression some people under-estimate the crisis of democracy. Anti-Semitism is terribly strong, as well as homophobia and sexism. Sometimes I feel my mum grew up in a more peaceful time. I may be wrong. But I’m not that sure.
MS: You use skin in the video. You once told me how you love nudity, extrapolate
TC: For a long time I hated my body. Really. I was almost hiding myself with large clothes, as if I wanted to disappear. I feel better now, and when you feel better about who you are, you want to show it. Completely. It’s my own therapy.
MS: When you give a Rebel Yell, do you want more, more, more?
TC: I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but as far as “Charlie” is a rebel yell, yes, I believe it can reach the unconscious mind, which is my hidden goal. You can do much more with the unconscious than you can with the conscious. Don’t you think?
MS: Name your favorite song, other than yours at this moment
TC: was re-watching the old movie “Stepmom” starring Julia Roberts, and I heard that fabulous track “Ain’t no mountain high enough” from Marvin Gaye. Do you know any better song with the same kind of joy and energy? I don’t. It is brilliant. This is music. Other than that, I’m still listening to Jaden Smith’s Idol. Fucking good rap track.

Did You Hear The One About 45??? Melania Trump & Barack Obama
Just Because it's Earth Day, Just Because of good vibes only & Just Because smiling is contagious. Here is the image that has set the Internet a buzz, Barack Obama & Melania Trump sitting next to each other at former First Lady Barbara Bush's funeral.
This is the happiest one has seen the current "First Lady" publicly in a looooooong time. I guess it took a funeral for that to happen. OK, you get what I mean by that, I hope.
Suffice it to say my main reason for posting this is it made me smile. It is a quite charming image that was very unexpected. "Yes" I like to be disarmed in positive ways.
Which begs the question what did Obama say to her to put such a genuine look of happiness on the always stoic Mrs. Trump's face?
Start the speculation flying by filling in your own blank here _________ ....
Good Morning, it's Saturday, time to sparkle minions! Today's spirit animal is Kerry Washington seen here doing a live stage reading of the Scandal finale in Los Angeles. "Yes" Scandal is now officially over, yet there is nothing that can keep the unsinkable Ms. Washington from sparkling. What's that? Did I see the series finale? As a matter of fact I DVR'd it and got around to viewing the farewell show last night. What did I think? First off I am not giving any spoilers because I am sure there are those who have not seen it yet. My overall thought was it was quick, efficient and worked. Series finales are a tricky thing, you will never please everyone. For me the main reason it played is the fact that the theme of the last two episodes was bringing people into the light and that is exactly what the final episode did. Into the light today peeps and sparkle like the shining star you are...! Kerry on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kerrywashington
