Weekends Were Made For Fishnet Bodysuits

Setting The Fishnet
Jessie J.
Nothing says "Hello Weekend" like a Fishnet Bodysuit, correct?! Well OK there are plenty of other things that do, in fact I can name a few at this very moment, but will refrain from that tedium.

Moving on, for some reason Jessie J. performing at the O2 Academy in Birmingham, England captured my sense of whimsy this ayem. 

Jessie's visibility quotient has spiked recently with her dating newly single Channing Tatum, and coming out with the fact that she is unable to bear children. That's OK Ms. J. you are a vocal powerhouse, not to mention how perfectly amaze balls you look in a Fishnet Bodysuit.

Remember when she sang the theme song to Grease on the Grease Live telecast? Yeah, that was a one of the things that really stood out to me about that endeavor. 

What's that? "Yes" I just went on a random tangent. It's my blog and I'll do what I want to.

So slide your Fishnet Bodysuit on and bend it like Jessie J. Why? Why the F#ck not???

Just Because...Diana Ross

This Didn't Used To Be, It Is My Playground
Diana Ross
Just Because it's the post Turkey Day blahs, Just Because she is so glamorous & Just Because she has her own playground in Central Park, here is one Ms. Diana Ross!

Seriously, who looks this amazing to go for a stroll in the park, I ask you? "Yes" I am asking you? Answer me! Alrighty then, have it your way. I guess if you had an entire part of the park named in your honor you might just get as Boss as Ross when you do.

Here is Diana beaming in front of, what else? Diana Ross Playground.

There is no word on whether or not the have an Ain't No Mountain High Enough slide...how Dirty would that make you Diana?

Just Because...Mariska Hargitay

Knocking It Out Of The Park
Mariska Hargitay
Is anyone out there a big Law & Order: SVU  fan, like me? Well if you are like me you are watching what is now the twentieth season of one of the longest running TV shows of all time.

Seen here filming season twenty in NYC is none other than Mariska Hargitay aka Sergeant Olivia Benson. I remember when Olivia was merely a detective and a damn good one at that with a hot partner named Elliot Stabler played by stud muffin Christopher Meloni.

Times they have and are a changing. While the cast has gone through some shake-ups, most notably the departure of Meloni. The show's popularity endures with the public, something about it truly resonates with people. It is the most popular of the Law & Order franchise, the original Law & Order running a close second. 

Personally I never get tired of the show and even watch marathons of it on occasion. While I must admit the show had been pretty hit or miss seasons eighteen and nineteen. Season twenty has been a home run week after week.

Twenty years and still going strong, now that's saying something!

Monday Motivation

Got Body?
Colin Farrell 
Look it's Colin Farrell leaving a yoga class in Los Angeles. Which is exactly what I need to be doing today, but alas I can not. Grrrrrrrrrr....

"Yep" I have no time to hit the mat this Monday for the zen Motivation I need. That being stated I will try to go to that place that yoga takes me a place that everybody should dare to go. Let's let Colin tell us in his spot on quote regarding the practice of yoga -

“I love being in a class with students – 30 or 40 people all moving in unison. It’s very easy to live where you remain in your head… and you’re concerned about various things and constantly contemplating and so on and so forth, so it takes you out of your head for a while and just puts you back into your body." 

It does indeed take one out of one's head. Which is a place I frankly spend way too much time

So here's to going as headless as possible today. I want to be present in my body as much as I can. C'mon people let's motivate each other and just do it!
