Hump Day & Chill

Does This Wine Give Me A Silky Sheen?
Kate Middleton
Today's Hump Day & Chill is brought to you by The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton & Cabernet Sauvignon. Yeah, you read that correctly minions.

According to hairstylist John Blaine, a serving of Cab is the secret to Katie's shine & bounce in her hair. He also teases Dita Von Teese's tresses (say the three time fast, I dare your ass.)

However it really isn't about imbibing it, nope, you apply it straight to your hair.

Well alrighty then, file this under take it or leave it potential useless information.

Frankly, I'd rather drink Cab, by the gallons than pour it on what's left of my hair. "Yes" it is my favorite form of grape.

So saddle up beside me and enjoy a glass or two, and don't F#cking waste it on your mane, or what's left of it.

Cheers Bitches!

Head

Totally Different Head
Jared Leto
Yesterday was a big day, with the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bouncing baby boy and of course a little to do called The Met Gala in NYC

Today is gonna pale in comparison, or perhaps not. Hey, it's all what you make of it. 

What's giving me life today? Why Jared Leto's I'm going to venture a guess and say Game of Thrones inspired look from yesterday's Gala. Which is a bedazzled man dress, but what truly makes this an envelope pusher is Leto carrying his own severed head.

Only Jared of Leto could, and for that matter would, pull this off. 

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna start plotting how to overthrow Mr. Leto's status as King of Pushing Boundaries. That's correct minions, I am going to sally forth and make a bid for the throne...

Mic Drop!

Monday Motivation

Lemon + Water...
Michael Shinafelt
While Monday's are not always Fundays, we often need that extra something, something to get us going. Thus the term Monday Motivation came into being, or something along those lines. Anyway, when I am having trouble getting going on a Monday I turn to my trusty lemons and make lemon water. I bet you thought I was going to say lemonade, Ha!

Fun Fact - did you know that lemon water is not only refreshing and tasty, it also burns fat? Yep, that it does. So while you are sipping on a glass of lemon goodness, you are also getting rid of fat.

Sounds like a win/win situation, no? Yes! 

Join me won't you in a glass, or two, perhaps even three of this delectable fat burning elixir

Do it, and do it now...!!!

Cinco de Mayo

Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville...
Neil Patrick Harris
"Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo] in Latin America, Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.[1][2] The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated Zaragoza at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders" - Wikipedia 

OK, there you have it the reason Cinco de Mayo aka The 5th of May is celebrated. This being stated it is mainly an excuse for most to go out and get wasted away in Margaritaville

Case in point, the celebratory image that is giving me Cinco life today is one Neil Patrick Harris on the beach passed out among many Margarita glasses. While it is obviously staged NPH is known for his fondness of the tequila based concoction.

Honestly I would like to join Neil in reaching the beach today, but alas can not. Yeah, not everyone has the free time to go out and get elegantly wasted.

Margarita Glass Drop!

Fishy Friday

Julianne Moore & Michael Phelps
The Little Mermaid

"Love to explore that shore above? Out of the sea, Wish I could be, Part of that world" Part Of Your World "The Little Mermaid" 

OK, it's not exactly Fishy Friday, but The Little Mermaid Friday didn't quite have the same flow to it 😉

For no other reason than whimsy and fun I present you with this image of Julianne Moore as The Little Mermaid, with an assist from Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps.

It was part of an ad campaign for, duh, Disneyland shot by famed photog Annie Leibovitz.

This is a stunningly beautiful portrait that also captures the essence of The Little Mermaid longing to be part of the world above the sea.

After all everyone longs for something they don't have my minions...so we can all relate.

What is it you desire, tell me, I promise to keep it between us, pinky swear 👀
