Send in the Clowns

Clowning Around
David Arquette

Here we are another week, another Monday. Thus I thought to myself "Self let's send in the clowns!"

The clowns are brought to you by one David Arquette sporting, what else? A clown sweater, naturally...

While I know there are those of you who might be afraid of clowns, and those of you who do not think they are funny, they are still colorful and lighten the mood nonetheless.  

If that doesn't do it for you, there is also Mr. Arquette who I saw play Dr. Frank-N-Furter in a production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Los Angeles. "Yes" he was SAF in the role and he is the same IRL.

Yeah, there's that, now tell me why you don' like Mondays - Hmmmmmm?!?!

It's National Ice Cream Day...Hurray!

Lick It Up!
Mia Farrow

While hitting the WWW this ayem it revealed to me that today, Sunday July 18th 2021 is indeed National Ice Cream Day!

Since the Nation's weather is hot, hot, hot I just knew I had to commemorate it right here, right now...

Thus I present one vintage shot of Actress Mia Farrow taking her ice cream cone from behind and looking mighty sultry while engaging in the activity.

Not sure what she was thinking when this photo was shot, but it looks like something, well, naughty quite frankly.

Hey, who says ice cream is only a family treat?! Not this guy! Time to get out there and lick it up Minions!!!

The Addams Family

"Their creepy and their kooky, Mysterious and spooky, Their all together ooky
The Adams family..." - The Addams Family Theme Song

Nostalgia is my vibe today and it's gonna stay that way. I wanted to share how excited I am that local Los Angeles station ME-TV has brought back The Addams Family weekdays at 6 pm! Yay!

While the show originally aired one year prior to my birth it was in re-runs constantly during my youth.

I always dug the Addams clan, I'm pretty sure it was some sort of connection to my feeling like an outsider. They definitely made me feel seen.

The infamous Wednesday Addams is one of my spirit animals.

Many of you, like me enjoy the weekend. However I can't wait for the return of Monday because at 6 pm you know what I'll be doing. OK, I could possibly be doing something else and recording it, but you get the drift.

Don't Go Gentle

 Don't Go Gentle: A Film About IDLES  

Coming to Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms on August 6th

“A touching portrait of fandom done right... Proof that bands can still change your life” ★★★★ - NME            

Don’t Go Gentle: A film about IDLES is a 75 minute feature film about finding strength in vulnerability. It journeys through the critically acclaimed Bristol band’s determination, friendship and adversity as they fight for a place in a divided socio-political environment, unexpectedly inspiring and unifying an international community along the way. 

The film, which was directed by Mark Archer and received 4 star reviews in NME and Time Out London, will be screening across the UK and Ireland starting July 2nd. It will then be widely available on Blu-ray, DVD, and VOD on August 6th.

Don’t Go Gentle captures the 10 year journey of IDLES’ struggle, grief and resolve. Exploring their vulnerabilities through their experience, lyrics and sound, we learn the reasons why these five individuals have connected with legions of people across the world. We see just how that relationship unfolds in the most courageous and positive of human ways.

In a time when the ground is shifting beneath our feet, where open communication and truthful reflection are more vital than ever, we journey with lead singer Joe Talbot and the band as they tear across stages, knocking down stereotypes, empowering fans to talk about mental health and the realities we may not feel comfortable to speak about.

Transcend & Evolve
Michael Shinafelt

Transcend & Evolve - this has been my meditation mantra for the past week courtesy of a bomb ass yoga instructor at a class I take in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Do you know that yoga and meditation actually work? Well they do....Namaste Minions!

Ponder This: Is the Kool Aid Man the jar or the liquid???

Single White Drag Queen, that's all

I'm not interested in eternal life, I've seen enough

A whole table of drunk rich people yelling at each other, discuss...

Pizza is always the answer

I have a headache and a back ache, could someone please rub my back and give me head?

Once upon a time there was a Demon Mistress and her fire orgies

Would you like your crispy chicken now?

10 Random Questions: J.R. Price

Musical Artist J.R. Price has a mission, he wants to make everyone feel beautiful and inspire others to chase their dreams. This Out Bear has a new single Golden Hour dropping today.

Oh and BTW - J.R. is here to respond to 10 Random Questions from yours truly...hit it J.R!

1) Golden Hour?

       

JR: I am so excited for this to be the title of my next single! After releasing my album “Daydream” I feel so awake, I am in the golden hour now in my life. I am focused on the future, and the sun is rising on so many new and exciting opportunities for me. That moment in the morning where everything is at peace. It’s beautiful. The song itself is about remembering someone you love and focusing on all the good times, I think that’s the secret to life. Focusing on the positive over the negative. Make every hour a Golden Hour!

2) Bears?

    

 JR  As a bear/cub, in the gay community I have to say I am so thrilled to have a common brotherhood. Just knowing I’m not alone in this crazy world is a really wonderful thing  I have a family. It’s not the one I was born into. But it is exactly what I want and need. 

3) Crop Tops?

     

JR:  The most comfortable fashion choice I’ll ever make. I am a large man, and I get really hot and sweaty super fast… so I throw on a crop and all those worries are gone. I mean, why does it have to be a statement for a big guy to show his stomach?  idk!?!? But I do know they are fun and cute and they will always be in my wardrobe! 

4) Dreams?

      

JR: I think it’s fascinating that we have the ability to dream. To think of ways to flourish beyond our current realities. I love the power to mold my own destiny. I can do anything. Be anything. And so can each of you. It’s exciting. At any given second you can absolutely change everything about your life… with hard work, determination, and will power…. Sure…. But it all starts with a dream. Therefore dreams are more important and powerful than. Anything else! 

The "Golden Hour"
J.R. Price

5) Music?

  

JR: The only escape from the hell of this world is music! When you turn on a bop, it puts you in a euphoric state that isn’t possible in the same way in reality. In the real world things are hard, people hold you back, the past weighs you down… but when your jam comes on… you gotta get up and dance…. That’s outstanding and thrilling!

6) The Loch Ness Monster?

 

JR: Haha! Good question! I think it’s sad that the Loch Ness Monster has this horrible reputation, and I think they are probably really lonely, and every time they reach out for a friend it’s disgusting judge mental humans who won’t try to understand them… I think we can all relate to the LNM! Have more compassion friends!

7) Body Positive?

    

JR: My first professional release and one of the most important messages in this world. Everyone should be proud of their bodies, the shape, the size, the color, the perfections and the flaws! We are all gorgeous and unique! Showcase who you are to the world. I think it’s so heartbreaking what self esteem does to ruin people’s potential! Have confidence! I promise, that is the key! Stay positive lovey!

8) Dancing?

    JR: The exhilaration and get when I move my body in time to lyrical expression, is incomparable to anything else on earth. The connection that is created to another artist, the way my heart pounds, the way I feel so alive… I recommend everyone dances more. Maybe we would have more love for each other if we allowed ourselves to experience that joy more often! Dance like no one is watching, or better yet… dance like they are and live for it! 

9) Margaritas? 

     

JR: I wasn’t a big drinker before the pandemic, but I have to say the more the drinks taste like slushies the more I enjoy them haha! I don’t like putting gross things in my mouth… just tasty things I enjoy and consent to! 🤣

10) Tik Tok?

 JR: This is probably my favorite platform! It allows creative content to be seen all around. The world. Anyone can become viral, if they have a truly great idea, and most of the comments are positive. It’s a very forward thinking and positive reflection of humanity. I love to post dance vids or funny antidotes for the monotonous chaos of the world around me. Sometimes it’s ok to just want to laugh or be thirsty… TikTok is a great break! Mine is @jrpriceless follow me! All my links are at jrprice.org  And all my music is available on all platforms! 

This was so much fun! Thanks for having me! 🐻🤗
