Silly Saturday

Give Me A High C!
Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka

Remember the 1988 movie Big starring Tom Hanks? Of course you might, or perhaps not...but if you do you will understand why this image of Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka dancing on the iconic FAO Schwarz piano in NYC is giving me life today, Saturday November 17th 2018.

Now mind you I have a sense of whimsy from time to time other days too. But it isn't a regular occurrence, so revel in this magic moment minions.

With Thanksgiving next week and then Christmas just around the corner I felt a Silly Saturday was in order. 

After all don't we all deserve it? Yes, yes we do!

Clap your hands together and repeat after moi "I Believe"

"I'd like a little off the top please..."

Frank Zito (a career performance by writer/executive producer Joe Spinell of ROCKY and THE GODFATHER fame) is a deeply disturbed man, haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of N ew York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women.

Michael's Musings

My Knickers Are In A Twist
Michael Shinafelt

So something magical happened this week. How magical was it you may be wondering??? 

Well if I was a Unicorn I'd wanna be Courtney Hadwin. While I never watch America's Got Talent, thanks to a certain something called Social Media someone I am friends with on Facebook posted her audition for the show. WTF?! She's a mere 14 years old and sings like that? Whoa!

Here are some more thoughts on AGT and such...

So, Tyra Banks is the host of America's Got Talent now. When I saw her on it the song "Sweet Transvestite" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show sprang to the forefront of my mind.

What if Courtney Hadwin, had won AGT? (I heard she didn't) - whatever she got the exposure and will have a fantastic career. 

PS and who are the F#cking F#cks that didn't make her Queen of the F#cking ball?!?!

Angry Unicorn, discuss...

Don't be jealous of my ______ you know what people are jealous of regarding you. Tell me all about it whores. 

Raindrops on roses, and whisker biscuits 

Surrender the pink 

Eat the orange

I'll take a G-Eazy with a heaping slice of cheese, please

Byline of the week "Jessie J opens up about her infertility" Ummmmmm....

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum, Heidi Klum, Heidi Klum

Just Because...Oink!

If there isn't anything you wouldn't do, name it after someone you don't like

Guess what? I don't care because I'm half Queer

Hump Day & Chill

Red, Red, Wine...
Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler

Today's Hump Day & Chill is taking a departure from the usual exploitation of naked male skin.

"Yes" today we are celebrating two of my favorite Adult Beverages that I like to imbibe when I have had a rough shot week.

First and foremost, because it is the easiest to access, out of the starting gate and ready to rumble is Red Wine. Illustrated here by the cool as ice Kristin Cavallari and her manly stud of a husband Jay Cutler (yeah, I still had to have some stud flesh, it's Hump Day & Chill minions.)

One Olive, Or Two?
Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin

Next up we have the martini, enjoyed by the timeless Jane Fonda on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live with other fellow legend Lily Tomlin.

So Jane, is it a vodka or gin martini? I prefer mine gin, vodka is too obvious and easy.

What's your favorite Adult Beverage to Hump Day & Chill with? Do tell, not in a tattling way, in a confessional way.

Odd Couple

Who'd Of Thunk It?!
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

With the California Wildfires, the passing of  Marvel legend Stan Lee and the perpetual presence of Donald Trump - we all could use something to brighten our day.

Cue the hearts & flowers here it is! "Yes" the oddest coupling in Hollywood currently Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton. When this first started happening on The Voice I naturally thought it to be a ratings ploy, as I am sure many did.

So here we are three years later at the People's Choice Awards and they are still together - insert collective gasp here. "Yeppers" they are for real, amazing, I know...

Accentuate the positive and go out there and make it a good one y'all!

Monday Motivation

My Name Is Gerard, I'll Be Your Monday Motivation...
Gerard Butler

Today I am feeling quite, um shall we say, randy..."Yes" randy is a phrase that connotes more than a dude's name. If the word befuddles you it means the same thing as frisky. If you don't know what that means then I acquiesce.

So, in honor of this my Monday Motivation is taking on the form of one Gerard Butler. Oh yeah Virginia there is a Hunk-O-Claus.

Gerard is going to get me through my Manic Monday - as I can 100% guarantee it will be, indeed.

I'm gonna focus on his steaming hot masculinity, what a man, what a man, what a man.

Who are you lusting after today? 

Unleash the Kraken!

Kiss

Kissing Bandits
Sarah Silverman & Jimmy Kimmel

"I just want your extra time and your Kiss, Oh oh" - Kiss, Prince 

Apparently Sarah Silverman got herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this past Friday. While I do like Ms. Silverman it caught me off guard that she actually received the honor. I am guessing there is an upcoming project that she is in, thus the high visibility promotion.

Well guess who showed up for the ceremony? None other than Sarah's ex-BF Jimmy Kimmel! Guess what he did? C'mon guess...he gave her a kiss. Sound the collective Awwwwwwwww....sound it, and sound it now!

Thus today's decree? Give someone you once, or are currently banging a kiss today for whatever reason you see fit. It doesn't have to be out of respect and love like Sarah & Jimmy. It could have funny, naughty or insidious intentions, the choice is yours.

Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna go kiss someone special, in a place that I dare not speak it's name.

Mic Drop!
