Friday The 13th

Ride Hard
Madonna

Today is the day of superstition & Jason Vorhees, in other words break out the black cats and machetes and have yourself a Kiki!

Me on the other hand I like to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like...so I'm gonna make like Madonna seen here pedaling down the streets of London and hit the asphalt on my two wheeler.

Friday the 13th nonsense be damned, nothing is going to rain on this guy's parade. Seriously nothing is, there is zero percent chance of rain today in sunny Los Angeles, we are currently being held hostage by a heatwave after all.

Time to hit the shower and get my ride on!

Happy Friday the 13th... "Ki, ki, ki, ma, ma, ma"

Let's Get Acoustic, David Cook

Singer-songwriter and American Idol Winner David Cook has announced he will kick-off  an acoustic tour this fall in St. Louis, MO on October 25.  Tickets go on-sale Thursday, July 12. (visit davidcookofficial.com/events for tickets and info).

The tour will weave throughout the southeast and hit other major markets like Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York City. It’ll be a chance for fans to experience an up-close, intimate evening with David, as he performs songs from his brand-new EP, CHROMANCE, as well as other hits from his catalog.   The EP, which was released earlier this year, features all new material that was written over the past year and includes an ethereal mid-tempo spin on the Phil Collins classic, Another Day in Paradise.

If launching a tour and putting out a brand new EP wasn’t enough to keep Cook busy; this past April, he made his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and had the time of his life (no pun intended).  David is now set to reprise his performance in the starring role from July 17 through September 9 (tickets available at kinkybootsthemusical.com).

“I am so honored and excited to get to come back to the factory!  Kinky Boots is such a great show, made all the better by having an incredible cast, crew, and staff, and I can’t wait to help tell the story again!”

CHROMANCE  is available now through all digital retailers, including iTunes, Amazon and Google Play (view the official lyric video for David’s latest single: Gimme Heartbreak).

Monday Motivation

Insecurity Vanquished
l-r
Stassie Karanikolaou & Kylie Jenner

Sometimes motivation, especially on a Monday takes on strange bedfellows. While I am not a Kardashian fan, I couldn't help but notice this image of Kylie Jenner and her BFF Stassie Karanikolaou on the WWW - why you may ask? Because Jenner finally got rid of the hideous lip filler she has been using for a spell and looks great!

Those lips made her look like something from the X-Men movie series I tell you what. Now she is back to looking like her attractive normal self.

She cops to her lips being an insecurity of hers, thus the filler. I say hats off to her for overcoming that insecurity and realizing she is better off, and more attractive without the plump.

Like I said Monday Motivation can take on many different forms and entities. Today's sermon is let go of things that no longer serve you. Your insecurities are just that - something that makes you do things that really don't work.

Thanks Kylie!

Just Because...Margot Robbie

Ballroom Blitz?
Margot Robbie

Just Because I actually slept in today, Just Because she looks amazing in a little black dress & Just Because I loved her in I, Tonya - it's a Margot Robbie kind of day!

That's correct minions you gotta love that Margot. Why? Just Because I decreed it.

While I never saw her in Suicide Squad, I'd rather attempt the first part of that movie title than watch it. I fell head over heels for Ms. Robbie when I saw her in the film I, Tonya. So much so that I felt she deserved to win the Oscar for it.

Sorry, not sorry Frances McDormand,  I love you too, but let's face it chica, you had won before and were an easy get for the waxworks who vote on the Academy.

How do I adore Margot let me count the ways...

I follow her on Instagram, I pay attention to her upcoming projects and I post amazing photos of her right her, right now when I have a chance.

Now it's time to say goodbye, etcetra and vice versa.

Have a Margot Robbie Day!
