Fugly Christmas Sweater Friday

The Horror
Miley Cyrus

'Tis the season for Fugly Christmas Sweaters fa la la la la, la la la la....

It's that time of year where the apparel people don is in questionable taste especially when in comes to sweaters. 

Witness Miley Cyrus in an odd little number that features a graphic of Santa covering his face in what looks like horror. It's like a Christmas/Halloween hybrid or something, what that truly is I have not a clue. Oh, and don't pretend you do either, got it?

Miley has a plethora of Fugly Christmas Sweaters of the season to choose from, it's like her own tradition during this festive time of year. My reasons for choosing this one is the actual image of her and her dog radiates warmth and cheer. Translation: It made me smile and the canine helped off set the hideous sweater.

So break out whatever it is you imbibe in and raise a glass of cheer! Only four more days, yikes!!!

Michael's Musings

You've Been Very Naughty!
Michael Shinafelt

Sound the false alarm! Only five more days until Christmas! In case you missed the week that was, this past Tuesday was my Birthday. "Yes" that's correct my Birthday is exactly one week before the Holiday that keeps on giving. "Yeah" it's time to move on...

Attended a lovely Holiday party last night on the rooftop of The Montalban - Thanks Lynn Tejada!

Now it's time to rise and shine and get it, get it good

Ever wonder what would Lisa Bonet do??? (obviously Jason Momoa, Ha!)

I'm dreaming of something white, but it sure isn't Christmas 

Remember the song Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy?

Bring me the head of the Nutcracker

Have your Elf spayed or neutered

Happy Birthday To Me!

Birthday Boy
Michael Shinafelt

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” ― Bill Keane

"Yes" indeed today is the present, another day to be alive and experience the world around you. Make choices that are bold and could potentially open the door to new and greater opportunities and experiences. In short today is my Birthday! Join me while I celebrate 53 years of living. 

One of the most valuable lessons I have learned in that time is to always look for ways to ground myself, because I am nothing without me.

Wonder what's going through my brain right now while I am writing this on the day of my birth December 18th? I've got this! 

I am thankful for my health and being in the best shape I have ever been in. I'm even starting to get ab definition for the first time in my entire life.

El Coyote bound tonight, kick ass margaritas & greasy tacos here I come!

I'm in my Birthday Suit doing this right now

Wonder if the washer is fixed or if I'm going to have to go to the laundry mat this afternoon???

Lemon Water is delicious & delightful

Hole is one of the best bands ever!

Looking forward to the Christmas Party on the rooftop of The Montalban in Hollywood tomorrow night

Perhaps I will go see Mary Poppins Returns at some point

Can't wait to see my BFF Brittney tonight

Getting it with abs & spin class this morning. I may throw in a little boxing for good measure

Happy Birthday To Me is one of my favorite horror movies 

OK, focus and carry on, it's your Birthday but you still gotta adult

Monday Motivation

 Serving Little Edie Realness
Madonna

"Wine is bottled poetry" - Robert Luis Stevenson 

That's correct peeps my Monday Motivation is wine, and not the kind that people do when they are trying to get their way. That's not my kind of wine, my kind is the kind you drink from a glass and it makes you happy. 

Thus your Monday Motivation is to c'mon get happy. Smiles everyone smiles! Holiday cheer is here in the form of a big magnificent glass of squashed fermented grapes.

So join me, myself and fellow wine enthusiast Madonna and raise a glass, and give yell. It's Mother F#cking Monday! 

Only eight more days until Christmas, suck on that!

Last Christmas...

A Christmas Gift
George Michael

"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special" Last Christmas, Wham

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...

OK, it's not a tale, it's the legend of  George Michael who was taken from us on Christmas Day 2016 at 53 years young. 53 is young, I can state that since I am going to be it this Tuesday December 18th 2018. 

Moving forward today I would like to remember George and Wham's Christmas classic Last Christmas. Being that we are in the final countdown (only 9 more days) and such till the hallowed day.

I remember meeting Mr. Michael at the premiere party for the Randal Kleiser gay themed film It's My Party held at the Armand Hammer Museum. While he was not officially out of the closet to the world, he was OOTC to Hollywood as he arrived surrounded by a entourage of hot guys.

George was a effervescent spirit who radiated warmth, light & joy. Much like the season we are in is supposed to. 

Thus today in a holly jolly way, give someone your heart to celebrate the season and George's passion. Remember there are many ways to do that, so just do it! 

Enjoy the Wham Christmas Classic after the jump. Enjoy it and enjoy it now!
