OZG: Rihanna

Bad Ass To The Bone
Rihanna
With the countdown to Halloween in full force I'd like to show my support for one Rihanna. Who Turned down performing at the upcoming Superbowl in support of Colin Kaepernick

(Yeah, we now get Maroon 5 instead (meh) - bur considering why that happened I'm down with it.)

This is  a balls to the wall decision that I respect and admire her for. Thus it seems fitting to back her today all dressed up for Halloween as, what else? A Zombie Gangster, naturally.

"Yes" Rhi, Rhi is the OZG (original zombie gangster) and the grooviest of all the ghouls in this truly appropriate for the season and her current political stand get up.

Bend it like Rihanna this Season of the Witch and let loose your OZG, OWG or OG with a rebel yell!

Tis' a mere 11 more days until Halloween - you go ghouls!

Film Buff Friday - "Bloodlines"



I was made aware of Vincent via Margaret Cho, fascinating stuff...

"A morbid, fascinating, and remarkably inspiring new documentary about one of the most acclaimed artists of our time." - Metal Injection

Award winning Filmmaker / Author John Borowski's (H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer) fifith feature documentary film, Bloodlines: The Art and Life of Vincent Castiglia, will be released in North America on November 13th. The film focuses on artist Castiglia's painful life of abuse, addiction, and recovery while also exploring the reasons why the world renowned artist paints exclusively in human blood.

Vincent Castiglia paints surreal images exclusively in human blood. He began doing so as form of self-healing following a troubled childhood and painful existence. From darkness, however, came light, and Castiglia's story is one of inspiration and hope, providing proof that art can heal and serve to inspire others.
 

Margaret Cho, who commissioned Vincent to paint her portrait in her blood, is interviewed in the film as well as celebrities Gregg Allman, Damien Echols, Kerry King and Gary Holt of the heavy metal band Slayer, record executive Michael Alago, and numerous others including filming in the studio and museum of legendary artist H.R. Giger, who designed the iconic creature for the Alien movies.

After a successful Kickstarter fundraising campaign, production of the film spanned from 2014 to 2018, filming on location in the United States: New York City, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Chicago, Oregon, and internationally: Singapore and Switzerland.

Michael's Musings

Could It Be Satan? Close It's -
Michael Shinafelt 
"I'm off the deep end, Watch as I dive in, I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface" - "Shallow" Lady Gaga 

This is the song that has been giving me life of late. The above lyrics taken from it is my mantra. I've met the ground before and it's never gonnna happen again, 

Only 13 more days until Halloween, disciples!

Do something that truly scares you this month. Call it perfect timing.

A shout out to my friend Toni Trucks on the success of season two of Seal Team on CBS

Workout selfies are hot

While I am not invested in American Horror Story anymore, I am enjoying the WTF aspect of the current season - Apocalypse 

Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard - Love will keep them together 

That time when someone asked me to spot them $2 at McDonald's and I stated: I have money, but I'm not giving you any - empowering

Why did a Lesbian at the Ralph's confuse my order for two fried chicken legs, with two friend chicken breasts???

Lady Gaga is engaged and the ring cost 400 k - You go! 

Guess what I'm wearing right now, and it isn't appropriate for public viewing (yet it should be)
Constance Langdon
Constance Langdon, Constance Langdon, Constance Langdon 

The new Halloween opens this Friday, ghosts, ghouls & fiends!

Why would you dye your hair hot pink in my bathroom? 


Take it to another level of emotion

The Markle Sparkle

Don't Tell The Koala, But I'm Pregnant
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
at
Sydney's Taronga Zoo
Congratulations to Prince Harry & Meghan Markle - They're pregnant! Of course I am not the first to report this, but I will be the one to help spearhead a movement.

One of the best things I saw online with regard to this joyous news was "Instead of "Baby Glow" let's trend the "Markle Sparkle." Perfection!

Sparkle, Meghan, Sparkle! Well quite frankly she does. There is an inner and outer beauty to Ms. Markle that is flat out radiant and shines like a diamond.

Hats off to whoever came up with this idea, I for one am 100% behind this.

Sing it high, sing it low, let everyone know the "Markle Sparkle" is a thing.

Enjoy your day and don't forget to...you know, sparkle!

M.E. Franco Is Horrifying!

The Night SHE Came Home!
M.E. Franco
Here is comes again, ya know, Halloween - which means it's time for me to have my Holiday chat about the most hallowed time of the year with fellow horror enthusiast and author of the supernatural "Dion" book series M.E. Franco!

Much like Norman Bates' Mother, M.E. is off her rocker...just the way we like her!

MS: If you were a serial killer, which serial killer would you be and why? (this can be fictional or non-fictional)

ME: Dexter, hands down.
I'm Number 2!
MS: Who would you cast in films as the male leads in your Dion series of books?

ME: That's a tough one. When I write, I have a character so completely formed in my head, it's hard to pick someone else to play them.

MS: Are you watching American Horror Story: Apocalypse? If so gimme your thoughts?

ME: I haven't watched the last few seasons, but from what I've heard, I may binge watch this season. Sounds like it might be worth checking out.
What's Angry, Horny & Red All Over?
Satan!
MS: OK, Satan offers you the chance to sell your soul for everything you have ever dreamed about. But there is a catch (you know Satan) you offer a sacrifice of something living. What, or who would that be?


ME: Does it have to be someone I like? I'd happily offer him the neighbor lady behind me. She's a hag, and she's mean to her pets. I'd happily "This is Sparta" kick her into the pit.


I'm Your Boogeyman!
Jamie Lee Curtis & Michael Myers
MS: Excited for the Halloween movie? (I am!)

ME: YEEEEEEESSSSS!! I can't wait!

MS: What's most scary to you being locked in a cell with Hannibal Lecter, or having dinner with Donald Trump?

ME: Better to eat dinner than be dinner.
Let's Have A Kiki
Jason Vorhees
MS: If you click your heels together three times and say Jason Vorhees, Jason Vorhees, Jason Vorhees what happens?

ME: Suddenly, no one wants to go camping with you anymore. Whatever.

MS: Ever encountered a Werebeaver?

ME: You just made me laugh so hard. Thankfully, no. No zombeavers either. LOL
"A Naked American Man Stole My Balloons"
David Naughton (looking good)
In
"An American Werewolf in London"
MS: Did you ever fantasize after seeing An American Werewolf in London that David Naughton in Werewolf form would come in at you for the kill and then all of the sudden revert back to his human form and be standing naked in front of you?

ME: Enough times that I think he probably could have gotten a restraining order.

MS: What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

ME: I almost got abducted in the 4th grade. I was walking home from my friend's house, when a man pulled up next to me in a white car. He said my parents had been in a car accident, and he'd been sent to pick me up. Thankfully, I had just turned down my street, so I could see that both of my parents' cars were in front of our house. When I told him that, he took off. It wasn't until after he left, that I realized what he was doing., so I ran home and told my mom. That scared the crap out of me for a long time.

MS: Treats are so overrated. Name a favorite tricks you have played on someone.

ME: We took my grandmother and great-aunt on a tour of Alcatraz at their request. At one point during the tour, they put our group in a solitary confinement cell and closed the door, so we could see how dark it was. I took the chance to grab my great aunt in the butt with much gusto to freak her out. Unfortunately, in mid grab, I saw the flash of a camera. I'm sure some poor family got quite a surprise when they got their vacation photos developed.
"You Poor Unfortunate Soul"
Ursula
MS: What Disney villainess would you most like to be?

ME: I love the ocean, so I want to say Ursula, but damn she's mean!

MS: Finally what do you want on your Tombstone (I am not talking about the frozen pizza)?

ME: "She always made us laugh."

Laugh with M.E. @ -

Just Because...Trio

Threesome
l-r
Gina Rodriguez, Natalie Portman & George Clooney 
Just Because he looks so rejuvenated, Just Because she looks great without make-up & Just Because she always looks smashing - I hereby bring to you the trio of Gina Rodriguez, Natalie Portman & George Clooney.

This is what happens when you get a virgin named Jane, Jackie O and a former womanizer in the same vicinity. It's called a fantastic photo-op.

So what brought these strange bedfellows together? Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong - naturally.

Oh, OK it was actually Variety's Power of Women event in Beverly Hills, CA

Now aren't you happy? Seriously, I am.

Go Just Because something. Do it and do it now!
