The Beautiful People

Evan Rachel Wood & Marilyn Manson

Hollywood is currently a buzz with this bombshell Evan Rachel Wood dropped yesterday:

Since then four other women have come out against Marilyn Manson. I applaud Wood for her amazing bravery and candor. Wood and Manson were together for three years, one of the biggest shows of support came from Manson's former fiance' Rose McGowan "I stand with Evan Rachel Wood and other brave women who have come forward. It takes years to recover from abuse and I send them strength on their journey to recovery. Let the truth be revealed. Let the healing begin"  

Rose also added that while Manson was not that way with her, that doesn't mean he couldn't be that way with someone else. Kudos to her for stating this, there are so many women out there who don't have other women's back because when they were with the guy he "wasn't like that" with them, they simply turn a blind eye and choose not to believe it.

The El Duce Tapes

In the early 90s, aspiring filmmaker (and General Hospital co-star) Ryan Sexton lugged a giant camcorder into some of the seediest clubs and the filthiest apartments in Hollywood. There he filmed hour upon hour of VHS footage of the jaw-droppingly offensive Shock Rock band The Mentors, focusing on their infamous lead singer, "El Duce." 30 years later, the team behind The Nightmare and Room 237 and the editor of Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist uncover this dusty stockpile of long forgotten - and unseen - footage. They begin to piece together a picture of the man under the black executioner's hood and what his wilfully offensive act and controversial views might tell us about 21st century America. An Incendiary, tragicomic documentary (midway between The Decline of Western Civilization and Crumb) which has been hailed as "Essential Viewing" by CineVue and called "Dark and Irresistible" by director John Carpenter, The El Duce Tapes will chew you up, spit you out, and leave you floored.

Feeling Blue?

Hair "Do"
Jake Shears

Even though there is a new sheriff in town, things are still tough out there, so I can understand if some of you are feeling blue.

Well here to put some pep in your strut is Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters, who posted an image of himself shirtless on Instagram with, what else? Blue hair, naturally. OK well not naturally. Obviously his Pandemic lock down activity to amuse himself was to dye his hair blue.

He captioned the image: Blue hair, don't care. 💙

And aren't you happy? Answer me, and aren't you happy now? Well there you go, that's it smiles everyone, smiles 😊

Now if only Jake would lose the pants, this would have many of us feeling even a lot less blue...

Mic Drop!

Who Is That Masked Man???

The Man Behind The Mask...?

It's the weekend, let's play a game. Can you tell me who this masked man is? Hint number one, he's not the Lone Ranger. Hint number two he's an athlete/actor. Hint number three he was engaged to one of the Bellas. 

By now you must know it's stud muffin John Cena. So here's hunky John on the set of the new HBO Max series Peacemaker shooting in Vancouver looking still swoon worthy in a mask and a couple layers of clothing.

Well I really don't have much more to say about John than what I've stated already. So why don't we just leave it at this shall we? "Yes" We Shall. 

Hey, it's the weekend, be well and mask-up Minions!

STRICTLY ELIZABETH SECOND RELEASE IN NEWLY LAUNCHED

FULL MOON SERIES PREMIERES TODAY

 

Both the Video and the Track “These Little Things (I Get From You)” is the Latest Installment of This Monthly Full Moon Series  

 

Strictly Elizabeth, announced today the launch of her second track from her monthly Full Moon Series, with the release of “These Little Things (I Get From You)” available now via all digital platforms. This is the second installment of new music to be released on the full moon since it launched last month.   

 

Produced and Mixed by musician Ira Ingber, “These Little Things (I Get From You)” is a previously unreleased song of her own composition released via her own Data Water Records with virtual distribution by Dash/Go. The video for the song can be found on the Strictly Elizabeth YouTube page.

 

“We launched the Full Moon Series in the spirit of releasing what is complete to make room for new creative action and collaboration,” said Jessica of Strictly Elizabeth. “This month’s track, “These Little Things (I Get From You)” is about the person you become through habit and patterns of behavior.”

 

This is a deeply personal track for Jessica, who started to see that she was imitating the men she was in love with and wrote this song about that piece of self-discovery. She found that although she is much more aware of it now, it’s still a deeply ingrained pattern from childhood. The video for this song explores this theme.

 

The Full Moon Series next installment will be released on the next full moon, February 27, 2021 and subsequent full moons throughout the year. This series is a platform to release what’s complete and make room for new creative audio and visual pursuits coming from Strictly Elizabeth this year.  

Michael's Musings

Euphoria
Michael Shinafelt

Eu·pho·ri·a noun a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness - this is the word of the week: Euphoria. When was the last time you felt it? I personally try to achieve a partial feeling of it everyday, it's good for the mind, body & soul.

There's this yoga pose I do that usually does the trick, if you're nice to me perhaps I will demonstrate it for you sometime.

While on the subject of Euphoria I saw the second special about Jules, loved it! I can't wait until we get an actual season 2 of the show!!!

Stop romanticizing the people who hurt you. The more you know...

Think about the Hedge Funds!

Nearly everyone who accuses others of having a radical leftist agenda belongs to a religion founded by a man with a radical leftist agenda, let that sink in.

Remember when we used to get mail?

It's nice to have a President who doesn't have an advisor from the pillow industry 

She's the squeakiest!

A whole bag of expired dicks, discuss...

Woman Crush of the Week - Hunter Schafer who is so great as Jules Vaughn on Euphoria

Saw David Cronenberg's Maps of the Stars on Netflix starring Julianne Moore - LOVED IT!!!

Outdoor dining is open again starting tomorrow in Los Angeles

Who the f#ck wants to have tea with Melania? Ghislaine Maxwell?

Those Bernie Sanders Memes have made him the most relevant he's been in years

Meet me in the Sahara for tea, won't you?

I'll explain it all to you here -
