Monday Motivation

Money, Money, Money
Robert Downey, Jr.
"Bitch better have my money!, Please don't call me on my bluff" - Rihanna, Bitch Better Have My Money
Today's Monday Motivation is pure unadulterated greed. That's right minions, money, it makes the world go round and puts a smile on your face when you can spend it freely and give unto others as they maybe would to you. 
So I am meditating about bringing mass quantities of it into my realm. You know master of my domain type of stuff.
Don't judge my pursuit of the material today, if you see it this way, keep it to yourself and move on. Money is my Monday Motivation jam at present. Carry on, as you were...

Immersive - Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists

Big Screen Perfection
Once upon a time in Hollywood, well OK, yesterday in Hollywood Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists Immersive Experience happened at The Hollywood Athletic Club.

Being a HUGE PLL fan you know I just had to go, and go I did! Upon entry I was surrounded with the atmosphere of the town of Beacon Heights and a big screen that eventually was cued up to show the first ten minutes of the pilot which premieres this Wednesday March 20th @ 8pm on Freeform.

All I have to say is I can not wait to see the whole thing. They did not waste anytime in diving right in and getting things going. The explanation as to how Mona and Allison end up in the same rural town is, well, dare I say it? Perfection, yep, I said it.

The rest? Well I've got a secret and I'm gonna keep it...enjoy some of the PLL experience with me, won't you? Shhhhhhhhh....

Concrete Heart

Kiss My Vassy
Vassy
Yesterday I received an E-mail from an artist who I interviewed seven years ago, "yes" seven years ago, about her album Beautiful Day for Chorus & Verse. Her name is Vassy - the correspondence was regarding her latest single Concrete Heart.

In case you would like to give the interview a read, even though dated, it's still fun! Here is the link:

Vassy is a sassy (Yeah, I made a rhyme on purpose) Aussie with talent to burn. Here is what she has to say about Concrete Heart...

"I'm so excited & proud to present to you my new song "CONCRETE HEART" Dedicated to my Father who passed away 16 years ago....... This is a song about Wanting to Love without Getting Hurt... We can all relate to being vulnerable ... I hope you Enjoy :)"

Spin the single right round here -

Michael's Musings

What's On My Mind?
Michael Shinafelt
I am on "Real Housewife" overload this morning. "Yes" minions I have a standing date with my friend Naama every Wednesday eve she comes over to my pad and we watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that I DVR'd from the night before, then we watch The Real Housewives of New York in real time.

Always one of the highlights of my week as we have a total blast commenting, reacting not to mention interacting with the shows. For the record we both prefer NY over BH, yet enjoy them both, in case you cared.

Dog Duty

Doggy Style
Dylan McDermott
It's time to let the dogs out, that's correct minions tis the day for Dog Duty, surrender the leash!

Oh, and what better way to report for such a task than with stud Dylan McDermott walking his pooch (not a euphemism) in NYC.

Dylan is so hunky, how hunky is he you ask? Well he actually attended a play I was in many moons ago, where I bared my backside to the audience and my front side to my fellow cast members.

I believe he was there because one of my co-stars was his waiter at a restaurant and told him about it. Anyway...he has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen and so handsome to boot.

What does this have to do with Dog Duty you may ask? Nothing really, I simply used the dog walking pic as an excuse to swoon over Dylan. "Yes" I am feeling naughty - so there!

Now get out there and crack that whip (this is a euphemism) 

Ciao!
