Christmas Is Over Jennifer Lopez!

Tragic
Jennifer Lopez
I can not let this week go by and not call out Jennifer Lopez for the tragic frock she donned for this year's Golden Globes. Since I mainly partake in the affair to see what the celebrities are wearing.

WTF J-Lo?! Ms. Lopez who is usually a fashion forward trailblazer apparently didn't get the memo that Christmas is over. "Yes" Jennifer there isn't a Santa Claus, obviously, because he would not allow you to dress like someone's unwanted Christmas Gift.

Honestly, if this is the influence A-Rod is going to have on you, perhaps you should stop consulting him on your fashion choices. That's correct Ms. Thang, go back to doing you!

Too bad the viewing public can't return this White Elephant gift...Ugh!

Put On Your Best Monday Dress

Washington M onument
Kerry Washington
The Golden Globes have come, and gone. People won, people lost, the usual affair. However let me draw attention to my favorite ensemble of the evening. Can I get a drum roll and a fist bump for Kerry Washington in her daring, yet classy outfit?! You'd better not cross my Ms. Washington, she slayed!

Kerry has always been a favorite of mine. While she has had many memorable roles she is most famous for Olivia Pope on ABC's Scandal.

This is the Pope you should honor, nobody does it better than her

Kerry On!

Saturday Sinema: Black Angel

Elegantly directed by Hollywood veteran Roy William Neill (best known for his 11 Sherlock Holmes films starring Basil Rathbone), Black Angel is an underappreciated film noir treasure, adapted from a novel by the acclaimed crime writer Cornell Woolrich (Phantom Lady). When the beautiful singer Mavis Marlowe (Constance Dowling) is slain in her chic apartment, the men in her life become suspects. There is Martin Blair (Dan Duryea, Scarlet Street), her alcoholic musician ex-husband, nursing a broken heart; there is the shady nightclub owner Marko (Peter Lorre, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon) who has been sneaking around her place, and there is Kirk Bennett (John Phillips), the adulterer who found his mistress's dead body and fled the scene. When Bennett is convicted and sentenced to death, his long-suffering wife Catherine (June Vincent) joins forces with the heartbroken pianist Martin Blair to uncover the truth... Black Angel is a consummate 1940s crime thriller which boats a suspenseful narrative, strong performances and atmospheric, meticulously lit cinematography. Roy William Neill's film is presented here in a sumptuous restoration, with several illuminating new extras.

Hello Young Lovers...

They Don't Call It "The Magic Kingdom" For Nothing
Ashley Benson & Cara Delevingne
Since I'm feeling quite Frisky Frolic and optimistic in general despite a certain evil Ooompa Loompa I thought today I would illustrate this by posting a photo of my favorite couple. "Yes" it's Cara Delevingne & Ashley Benson at the "Happiest Place On Earth" Disneyland!

Look how adorbs the twosome is shuttered on Main Street in the amusement park 😃

Anyway, gotta love these two. They are very much what I would call couples goals for my own personal reasons which I will never disclose, unless you decide to go there with me in a one on one type thing. If you get my drift and I think you must.

So let's get the feels this first Friday of 2020 and raise a glass and enjoy life, live it to the fullest and take no prisoners!

Now about that Oompa Loompa situation...

Michael's Musings

Need I Say More?
Michael Shinafelt
It's the second day of 2020, feel different? Transformed? Full of hope? New Year, New You? If you answered "Yes" to any of these, you are most likely placing too much importance on a day that merely marks the changing of a number defining time and place. 

All the New Year means is, well, a New Year. While something new isn't bad, there is not much more significance to it than a marking of time. Bubble, bubble, toil and...2020 is ours to define, like all the other preceding years. It's a fluid thing not a 365 day thing. 

Rumor has it January is: "It's OK To Be White Month." Hey, I read it on the WWW, I couldn't make something that idiotic up.

It's really cool to be alive in America at this point in History. It's like the fall of the Roman Empire, but with Wi-Fi

Be kind, be bold, be brave 

Every day is the best day of the year

The Golden Globes are Sunday. Let the cartoons begin!

Did you put the banana in Andrew's rear end?

I have three words for you: Ariel Beelsey, Echoplex, Tomorrow 

That time you realize your selfie has gone horribly wrong, discuss


Woman Crush of the Week: January Jones - Because it's January, duh!

Heck is where you go when you do little sins

The older I get, the happier I become

How about the movie "Cats?" Anyone? I thought not

When are they going to give the death penalty to individuals who comment on articles without reading them?

Tell me who you wore on your living room couch for NYE

My name is Michael, Daddy if you're nasty at:
