World Famous drag star Alaska Thunderf*ck has announced that her new musical group Alaska & Jeremy will release their debut album Amethyst Journey on August 17 via PEG Records, the LGBT-focused label of Producer Entertainment Group (PEG).  Alaska & Jeremy is the collaboration with her long-time musical partner Jeremy (Mikush). Pre-orders begin Friday, August 10 via http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1420705736?ls=1&app=itunes.  All pre-order purchases will receive two instant grat tracks – “Aliens” and “Truth in The Light.”

Amethyst Journey was meticulously crafted and molded with love and patience alongside producer Markaholic.  “Jeremy and I have been making music together for over 9 years. After taking a retreat into the woods of the Russian River Valley to write, reflect, and commune with nature and one another, Amethyst Journey was born.  

The album is a collection of songs that are a combination of our outlook and inspirations-- a response to current issues and the state of our planet.  We believe the Queer community is a model for our global extended family, and together we have the power to create positive change for all of humanity.  

All of the songs were recorded in downtown Los Angeles with producer Markaholic.  We worked together along with Mark to craft and mold each track with love and patience.” said Alaska. 

The first single & video, “Aliens” is also set for release on August 17, premiering exclusively on VEVO.  “Aliens,” the album’s overture, is a folk music-based lullaby written for the people of Earth that asks the questions: What is the future we want?  Does the idea of extraterrestrial visitors come from a Savior complex... or an Armageddon complex?

Amethyst Journey will be available via all digital retailers as well as Alaska & Jeremy’s website:  alaskaandjeremy.com

Freaky Friday

Just Do It!
Madonna

"We go hard or we go home, We gonna do this all night long, We get freaky if you want" - "Bitch I'm Madonna" Madonna

Bitches I'm Michael! I go hard, that's why I never go home, oh and freaky? Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...

OK, I'm not going to divulge anything really other than I don't know about you cats but I'm feeling mighty real and quite free-ky this Friday. "Yes" the misspelling of "freaky" was on porpoise. As was the last typo.

Let me impart these words of wisdom to you on this August 10, 2018 - live by your own rules and what works for you. Surprise yourself everyday, go with the flow and free your mind and the rest will follow...that's correct now I am sounding like an En Vogue single.

Get Freaky
Michael Shinafelt

While there is always accidents in life sometimes they are happy ones and you never know what may come of them. 

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mike Drop! Get it? My name is Michael, Mike. Carry on and let your freak flag fly!

Holy Sharon Tate!

Margot, Sharon, Margot, Sharon
l-r
Margot Robbie & Sharon Tate

As all of you know I am a Margot Robbie fan - and as one can imagine this image of her as Sharon Tate from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming flick Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has me over the moon!

Here is the synopsis for the tale....

"A faded TV actor and his stunt double embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Helter Skelter reign of terror in 1969 Los Angeles."

While it is set during the time when Tate was tragically slaughtered by the Manson Family, the above description is vague and doesn't really give any sort of a hint, or theory even as  how this fits in the film.

Ya know what? That's OK by me, all I know is Robbie eerily evokes Tate in the above image, they are doppelgangers. 

"Yep" sign me up, I am so down with going to see this, I'm ready!

Monday Motivation

Cheers It's Monday!
Henry Golding

"Tell me why, I don't like, I don't like, (tell me why) I don't like Mondays" - I Don't Like Mondays, The Boomtown Rats

"Yes" it's that time again for the most maligned day of the week to happen...Monday.

Today I felt a different approach to the dreaded day was in order. One that took our collective attitude toward said day and turned it on it's butt.

Thus I bring you cheer in the form of raising a glass and saying "cheers" and taking on Monday straight with a smile no chaser.

Let's hit it like Henry Golding who stars in Crazy Rich Asians (say that three times fast) - here he is at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, CA with an adult beverage smiling like the sun will come out tomorrow.

So smiles everyone, smiles and bend it like Henry, learn to love your inner Monday!

Just Because...Amber Heard

Cool For The Summer
Amber Heard

Just Because she's giving off cooler than us vibes, Just Because she's gone completely black & Just Because she caught my eye while surfing the WWW - Ladies & Gentlemen it's Amber Heard!

I honestly don't know too much about Heard other than the domestic abuse incident between herself and her then partner Johnny Depp. 

That I believe is about to change with the upcoming release of her movie London Fields in which she plays Nicola Six who happens to be clairvoyant.

What's that? OK, here's the synopsis:

"Clairvoyant femme fatale Nicola Six has been living with a dark premonition of her impending death by murder. She begins a tangled love affair with three uniquely different men: one of whom she knows will be her murderer."

Sounds intense, no? 

Most likely not as intense as the heat Amber was enduring when this photo op happened, since it was snapped in NYC and it's, well like summer and it's New York and stuff....

Mic Drop!
