For some reason the words invalidate and impeach keep running through my head this week. I wonder why? Think about it, and if you have to think about it too much, I don't know you. It's time to face the music, or eat it, depending...

Life, it's better than Kindergarten, or perhaps not, the decision is yours

Damn you McDonald's two for five!!!

Hump Day & Chill

F#ck, Marry Or...???
James Spader

About last night I attended a retro screening of  Pretty in Pink up on the roof of The Montalban Theater in Hollywood - and I was reminded that The Blacklist star James Spader was once, well a hottie.

Once upon a time James was the go to guy in Hollywood if you wanted and sleazy, sexy and good looking villain for your teen film. 

One of his finest creations was monster Steff McKee in, duh, Pretty in Pink who was so jealous of his friend Blaine McDonagh's (Andrew McCarthy) relationship with High School misfit Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) that he tries to sabotage it.

Even though you love to hate Spader in the movie, he does ooze an oily charm and sex appeal that makes you want to "do" him as well.

Of course this got me thinking if my favorite go to site for Celebrity Skin of the male variety Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things had any  nude shots of James. The answer is a resounding "Yes!" several of his supple booty and even a glimpse of his nether regions.

Now that's entertainment!

Bad Ass - Justin Trudeau

Human Rights
Justin Trudeau & Antoni Porowksi

When Rolling Stone Magazine ran the cover story on Justin Trudeau proclaiming "Why Can't He Be Our President?" I definitely felt the yearning for just that. America really does deserve someone, and something better than our current dictatorship. 

"Yes" Trudeau is easy on the eyes too. Good looking and have you seen those images online, ya know the close ups of his supple bubble...OK I digress, his looks and booty are just a bonus. 

Just when you thought Justin couldn't get any more bad ass witness him riding in the Montreal Pride Parade alongside Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski.

I'm not sure exactly what Canadians think of Trudeau's overall leadership, one thing is for sure he is obviously a Human Rights advocate and that is something I can get behind. Not like our current state of affairs where we have a leader who thinks no one should have any rights, except Straight Rich Caucasian Males.

I leave you with this Tuesday Thought -

"To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity" Nelson Mandela

It Takes Three
l-r
Daryl Hannah, Peter Gallagher & Valerie Quennessen

With Summer winding down I got to thinking about all the things I love about this time of year and one of them is of course guys in little to no clothing. I also flashed on one of my many actor crushes  from days of yore, actor Peter Gallagher who starred in one of my favorite movies about the season Summer Lovers.

Summer Lovers is a tale that goes like this:

"A young American couple and a French woman engage in a threesome in the Greek Islands."

Ahem, get why I like it now? Of course you do...!!!

The film co-starred Daryl Hannah as Gallagher's girlfriend and Valerie Quennessen as the third party.

Oh, one more thing, Peter who turns 63 today - Happy Birthday Mr! Also got naked in this triangle of love story. Front & back, and of course I got you the un-coverage via Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things. You know I would not deny my minions, ever.

ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT PREMIERE’S DEBUT SINGLE & VIDEO “ALIENS”

  https://www.etonline.com/rupauls-drag-race-star-alaska-debuts-surreal-new-aliens-music-video-108110

WORLDWIDE TOUR DATES RUN THRU 2018

  World Famous drag star Alaska Thunderf*ck’s new musical group Alaska and Jeremy have officially released their debut album Amethyst Journey today via PEG Records, the LGBT-focused label of Producer Entertainment Group (PEG).  Alaska and Jeremy is the collaboration with her long-time musical partner Jeremy (Mikush).

Amethyst Journey is available via all digital retailers as well as Alaska and Jeremy’s website:  alaskaandjeremy.com

Amethyst Journey was meticulously crafted and molded with love and patience alongside producer Markaholic.  “Jeremy and Ihave 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 LGBTIA+ community has a unique position to bridge collective misunderstandings and create positive change for 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. 

Entertainment Tonight premiered the first single & video, “Aliens” https://www.etonline.com/rupauls-drag-race-star-alaska-debuts-surreal-new-aliens-music-video-108110 today.  “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: Track by Track commentary:

Aliens

The album's overture, "Aliens" 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?  

Truth in the Light

This song was originally released by Jeremy on his solo album, Somewhere In Between, and we re-recorded it together.  It's a song that addresses what happens when relationships grow and mutate.  Can we grow distant, yet still maintain some kind of heart connection?  

So Far Gone

Being on the road and being away from our family and our loved ones is one of the most challenging parts of our work as artists.  The pain and release from those feelings of distance and longing and isolation is the inspiration for this song.  

The Wind

This song is a pagan prayer and is an invocation that calls forth the four elements-- Air, Earth, Water, and Fire. 

Son of a Mother

We all possess an X chromosome. What binds us all is that every one of us has a Mother.  This song worships the Divine Feminine, and cautions those who abuse or disrespect her power.

The End of the World

In our current climate of instant gratification, humanity needs perspective on large-scale change.  We've created a heavy metal theme song for the Apocalypse, drawing upon ancient perspectives on cosmic cycles. It leaves the door open and asks the questions:  Is this truly end of the world...  Does it have to be?

Ascension

Originally inspired by the visual experience of being elevated and beamed up by an extraterrestrial space ship, "Ascension" evolved to become a sonic exploration of the ups and downs of the evolution of consciousness and spiritual transformation--it's a cosmic download!

At the End of the Day

The sister song to Alaska's "It Is What It Is," also from Jeremy's Somewhere in Between, it can be simultaneously played with "It Is What It Is" to create a symphonic experience influenced by Renaissance choral music and contemporary a cappella artists.

In addition, Alaska will continue touring throughout the world for the remainder of the year.  Tour Dates

Hello Young Lovers

PDA All The Way
l-r
Cara Delevingne & Ashley Benson

Once in a while something catches this jaded guy by complete surprise. Sometimes that surprise is not too great, others are whatever and in the case of this one it's spectacular!

While I am not one to gossip, I have to say the news that Pretty Little Liars Ashley Benson and model Cara Delevingne are dating was something I never saw coming. Ashley has always remained low key about her personal life and never did I ever have any clue she was into women. Delevingne likewise on the personal life front, however I know less about her as by now you all know what a huge fan of Pretty Little Liars I am.

Honestly this is a couple I never knew I needed to happen until they did. I love them together!

They outed themselves as s duo when they were spotted packing on the PDA in a London airport. Awwwwwwww...young love, I remember that, sort of.

Ashley I have one request. I follow you on Instagram (duh) please post many pics of you and Cara, pretty please, with sugar on top.

Thanks grrrrrrrrl!
