Taco Tuesday

Gangsta!
Fergie

One of the things that is missed during this time of quarantine is Taco Tuesday. While this was not a regular thing for me to engage in, I have done it. It's always a festive fun time with a pitcher of margaritas and good friends along for the ride.

So let's have a Taco Tuesday virtually, sort of, shall we? Let's join Fergie wearing the latest must have fashion accessory, the face mask, as she grabs some Taco Bell in Santa Monica, CA.

Yeah, not quite as fun as hitting your favorite Mexican Restaurant, but... 

There is a Taco Bell near me, so now I'm contemplating hitting it for some pseudo TT amusement. "Yes" Thank You Fergie, now I am going to pack on even more weight, Ugh!

Mic Drop!

Mama Hair Monday

Hair
Gabrielle Union 

While in quarantine what's a Mom/Actress to do with her hair? in the immortal words of Elsa from Frozen "Let It Go" (PS weird I should reference that movie, since I have never seen it, really I haven't) - 

Thus like most people in the world at large Gabrielle Union took to her Instagram account and posted the above photo with her daughter stating: "See @kaaviajames mama's got hair like yours," 

Indeed she does. There are many things to love about Ms. Union, while she is talented and beautiful, she is also very down to earth. She is the mayor of keeping it real.

 So keep on keeping peeps and most of all stay safe! 

Follow Gabrielle on Instagram, like me!

Just Because...Raquel Welch

She Wore An Isty Bitsy Teenie Weenie...
Raquel Welch

Just Because we could all use some escapism at present, Just Because Cave Women are exotic & Just Because it's iconic. Here is Raquel Welch  in a her famous fur bikini still from 1,000,000 Years BC, woot!

It's the outfit Ms. Welch wore with great protest and it is one of the most iconic images to ever come straight outta Hollywood. They really don't make stars like they used to and for some random reason visions of Raquel danced through my head while I was sitting at the computer drinking my morning tea.

Nobody does sexy and glamorous like our Lady Raquel. For the record I have screened 1,000,000 Years BC and might I suggest that taking in this image and leaving it at that as the better option? 

Yeah, I went there...

Enjoy the view and TTFN!

Film Buff Friday: Elvira Mistress Of The Dark

She's back! Elvira, Horrorland's hostess with the mostest, finally busts out on Blu-ray with this long-awaited, positively bursting-at-the-seams special edition of her big screen debut, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark! Having just quit her job as a Los Angeles TV horror hostess, Elvira receives the unexpected news that she's set to inherit part of her great aunt Morgana's estate. Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals - amongst them, her sinister uncle Vincent, who, unbeknownst to Elvira, is in fact an evil warlock secretly scheming to steal the old family spellbook for his own nefarious ends... Campy, quirky and stuffed to the brim with more double entendres than your average Carry On movie, 1988's Elvira: Mistress of the Dark helped solidify the horror hostess (played by Cassandra Peterson) as a major pop culture icon, here owning every inch of the screen with her quick wit, sass, and of course, cleaving-enhancing gown!

Michael's Musings

From A Social Distance
Michael Shinafelt

Well March is finally over THAT was the longest month ever!!! I suspect since we are still on lock down until the end of April, March now has competition.

I, like you minions, can't wait until all this is over, so what have all of you been doing with your time, well here are some of the things I've been doing, texting and thinking...

For reasons only known to them HBO is playing a lot of old movies of late. Sometimes it's great when they play gems like Dangerous Liasons, but most of the time it's, meh

My Social Media game has improved of late, there's that

In today's episode of My Life With The Chill Pill Cult

Alyssa Milano is trending on Twitter at present. It's because she called out Bernie Sanders for putting his ego above the greater good. Wait, don't we already have a President that does that?!

If one is unhappy about the way they are depicted in a documentary, here's a hint - stop being a jerk

Life Hack: If you keep a glass of wine in each hand you can't touch your face...you're welcome!

Kenny Rogers checking out during the apocalypse is the most "know when to fold them" gangsta move I've ever seen

The things I will put up your a$$ if you don't STFU, luckily I have a lot of bananas 

Woman Crush of the Week - Michelle Pfeiffer as Madame de Tourvel in Dangerous Liasons - Beautiful and heartbreaking.

See's Candy has halted production, the line has officially been crossed

Employees at Grocery Stores right now should get combat pay

Helpful Tip - remember Vegans are the closest thing to grass fed. Think about it, but not too much

Currently pizza is an essential food group for me
