Mother's Day

Norman Bates
"Psycho"

Happy Mother's Day, to all of you out there who have a paternal role in a child's life. Because as Norman Bates says, well refer to the above image for that quote.

Yeah, I took a turn to the macabre a tad today, but not really, it's more of a nostalgia type of thing. You see there was this Psycho marathon on HBO recently and I sat through it, the danger of channel surfing.

Mother & Son
Norma & Norman Bates

Thus when Mother's Day 2019 arrived I thought it would be a nice twist to honor those out there who know their role by going a little mad, like we all do sometimes 😉

So Cheers to everyone out there who has one of the most important jobs in the world.

Happy Mother's Day to you all!

You're A Shining Star

Smile Everyone, Smiles
Anne Hathaway

With her latest movie The Hustle co-starring Rebel Wilson opening today, Anne Hathaway received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, naturally.

The Oscar Winning actress for Les Miserables, certainly has a great body of work that has earned her the honor. 

But in all honesty what compelled me to do a post on this today was the infectious smile she had while being immortalized on Hollywood Blvd. 

"Yes" her smile is what's making me happy this morning, Friday May 10th 2019. It's the most sincere thing I have seen all week. 

Thanks Anne for a lovely kick off to the day ahead, your mega watt smile is one of the many reasons you're a shining star. So bend it like Anne today minions, like I know you can.

Go get em'!!!

How fast do you think Meghan Markle doffed her high heels after the photo of her Prince Harry and Archie was clicked? Ouch!

Seriously, it only takes thirty seconds?

Am I the only one who thought Tinsley Mortimer's ringmaster get up on The Real Housewives of New York was so Baby Jane Hudson?

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...!!!
