Current Mood

The Glam Team
David Bowie & Catherine Deneuve

Well Hello Monday...we have arrived at yet another day in the continuing saga: What the Hell is going to happen today in 2020?

I don't know, but it sure isn't bound to be dull, or glamorous. Thus bringing me to my  Current Mood, I have been wanting something cool and glam in my life, which brought one of my favorite films to mind The Hunger. That was one cool/glam vampire movie, thus I decided to Google images from it.

This being stated, while this image is not from the film, it is of it's co-stars David Bowie & Catherine Deneuve. Nothing says cool or glamorous quite like the these two and this is them simply hanging out. Whether it was during filming or not is unclear, but this shot is great and fills my need for some escapism glam style at this moment, right here, right now.

Also, there were several other gems I came across, like some publicity shots I had never seen. However this one best sums my Current Mood up for this Monday. 

Come with me and escape...

Just Because...Snow Owls

What A Hoot!
The Masked Singer

Just Because it's Sunday, Just Because it's something different and Just Because it's a fun visual, send in the Snow Owls!!!

"Yes" Minions apparently this is a still from the upcoming season of The Masked Singer. A show I have never watched, nor have any intention of viewing. That being stated this image caught my eye whilst surfing the WWW.

The reason for it making the rounds is to push that in the upcoming season they are going to feature their first duo on the show. Thus the unknown, at present, duo is a couple of Snow Owls.

Well this mystery couple do make quite fetching Snow Owls, not to mention there are so many other flights of fancy you can assign to this image.

So I hope whatever you take away from this photo puts some more levity in your day. Something everyone needs more of, right here, right now...

The Dog Days Of Summer

Woof!
Ryan Gosling & George 

We are headed into Fall, September 22 to be exact. The time leading up to it is typically referred to as "The Dog Days Of Summer."

I know, Summer really didn't happen this year, hopefully 2021 will be different. Thus I will celebrate the countdown till the end of Summer with something that should put a smile on your face and some pep in your step.

Here is Ryan Gosling and George the Dog. Ryan refers to George as the "Great love of my life." Can I get an Awwwwwwww...???

Ryan adopted George from a Los Angeles animal shelter in 2000, and it has been true love ever since.

BTW George has sometimes been know to sport a stylish Mohawk, much to the his fans delight.

All Hands On The Decks

Give a Beat Launches “All Hands on the Decks”  Fundraising + Advocacy Campaign for New Reentry Program September 10 - October 10  And to Encourage Critical Voting in Upcoming Election Rooted in the electronic music community, Give a Beat launches “All Hands on the Decks” fundraising and advocacy campaign on September 10th to raise funds for their pilot “On a New Track” post-incarceration reentry mentoring program and to encourage critical voting in the upcoming election. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the plethora of unjust barriers people face upon reentry and mobilize communities to support criminal justice reform legislation. Funds raised will allow Give a Beat (GAB) to expand their reentry mentoring program to reach more people and ensure that participants have the resources and support they need to pursue their creative career dreams. The campaign will run September 10 - October 10, 2020. More info is at allhandsonthedecks.com. Give a Beat was awarded a Reentry Through The Arts grant from the California Arts Council to pilot its unique “On a New Track” reentry mentoring program in collaboration with Defy Ventures and California Mentoring Partnership. GAB will train eight formerly incarcerated participants from the Defy Ventures community in the art of DJing, music production, and related business and entrepreneurial skills. By connecting previously incarcerated individuals with music business professionals, Give a Beat aims to develop a cycle of change that encourages people to harness their creative talents while engaging members of the electronic music community to educate themselves about bills and legislation . “Defy is excited to partner with Give a Beat to bring opportunities in the music industry to formerly incarcerated individuals in our program. There's no better city than Los Angeles in which to train people in a musical field, and people with criminal histories have incredible talent to share with the world if given the chance to do so. This partnership will lift the voices of people with criminal histories and create opportunities for them in the creative field in our city.” - Mariah Dickinson - Director of Development and Marketing, Defy Ventures. In addition to raising funds to support previously incarcerated people on the individual level, Give a Beat’s “All Hands on the Decks” campaign also serves to advocate for people experiencing incarceration on the macro scale. By aligning with allies in the broader social justice movement, this campaign will bring attention to the various obstacles people face upon leaving prison. It will also educate the music community on ballot initiatives such as Prop 17 which restores the right to vote for people on parole and Prop 20 that aims to undo progressive transform. “All Hands on the Decks” will also educate around the power that electable positions hold in relation to criminal justice at the city, county, and state levels. These positions are key to strengthening the defense of our civil rights and emboldening our ability to make progressive change. This campaign’s name illustrates that now is a critical time both for the organization and for the future of the country to have “All Hands on the Decks” to engage communities to get more involved and take meaningful action.
