Jingle Ball

Silver And Nas
Lil Nas X

I'm here today still trying to keep the season merry and bright as it were. So let's continue the good vibes with something shiny and new in the form of Lil Nas X performing at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.

Celebrating the season in a Silver Metallic get up Nas is the epitome of Holiday Spirit, like a human ball you hang from a Christmas Tree if you will. "Yes" we will! 😀

To hear via those who were there Nas stole the show along with Doja Cat, naturally.

Glad to hear someone is having a holly jolly time this season other than myself.

With Christmas less than 2 weeks away it's time to get to release the Kraken and get to werk!

Good Vibrations

Channeling Her Inner Barbarella 
Zendaya 

With all the chaos in the world there are many great things in life so let's not accentuate the negative shall we? Done!

This image of Zendaya from her Interview Magazine cover story is giving me all the Good Vibrations I need today. The whole pictorial, which is clearly inspired by Jane Fonda in Barbarella is giving positivity and fun on steroids! 

I bet you are wondering if I am a Zendaya fan or not. I am, I think she is one of the true contemporary stars we have going. She is beautiful, talented and smart.

Will I be seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home? Not my thing, neither was Dune for that matter. This being stated I can't wait for Lady Z to return to her Emmy Award Winning turn as Rue Bennett on Season 2 of Euphoria witch drops January 9th on HBO.

Enjoy your weekend, and a reminder it's a mere 14 more days until Christmas...

Mic Drop!

Film Buff Friday: West Side Story


With the release today of Steven Spielberg's retelling of West Side Story I thought it would be fun to revisit the original 1961 film starring Natalie Wood & Richard Beymer Directed by Jerome Robbins & Robert Wise.

That means the film is four years older than me. So you are correct in assuming that I saw it at a stage in my life where I was older.

I first saw West Side Story in High School for a drama class I believe. I was blown away by it then, it was amazing to a younger me, still is. But the main takeaway I have from it is it was my first exposure to the late great Natalie Wood. Her performance moved me in ways I had never felt at the movies before and have rarely felt since.

"Yes" I had a lifelong crush on her after that and sought out other things she had done post seeing WSS.

OK, enough of my hyperbole I'm now going to leave you in the expert hands of my buddy Jay Jacobson and his Classic Movie Blog. He will give you everything you need to know about the original WSS and then some by hitting the link below...

T.G.I.F! Minions only 15 more days until Christmas!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Pucker Up
Christopher Meloni

"I just want your extra time and your...Kiss" Prince, Kiss 

Tomorrow night is one big Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: OC crossover event, thus today I am feeling Meloni. "Yes" Minions we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the biggest Zaddy of them all Christopher Meloni! Yay!

The photo above is what I like to refer to as: Fetish Meloni being as our man Chris is in rubber overalls & boots, with lipstick smeared on his, well, lips, naturally. Lips like sugar baby!

While I have no real explanation for this image, it sure is hot and gives one plenty of Hump Day & Chill, well, chills. Ya know they're multiplying when you gaze upon Meloni's being.

Thus I leave with this to project your inner most desires on today.

You know that's what I'll be doing.

Pants on the ground Minions!!!

Hello, From Canada

Tori Spelling
& Family

I happened to come across this 2020 Holiday Card straight from one Ms. Tori Spelling. I for one had never seen it until right here, right now.

Note to our collective selves that Tori is holding up a photo of her husband Dean McDermott and the card reads:  “Love, Tori & Dean (hello, from Canada!) Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn & Beau,”

At the time Spelling said it was because McDermott could not be there in person. But 2020 is hindsight (pun intended.) With the two clearly on the rocks it seems to me and others that he was deliberately left out.

While I am sure that is the most likely scenario I hate to see people in a place where they are not happy, so here's wishing Tori and Family and any of you out there who may not be feeling your bad self a terrific 2022!

2021 was a year about finding a new normal, let's make 2022 the year it happens!

Mice Drop.

Houndstooth Housewife

Stepping Out
Kathy Hilton

Let's start the week off with a little Houndstooth shall we? Of course we shall! Witness one Kathy Hilton out for dinner in West Hollywood, CA wearing Houndstooth, duh! Making her the "Houndstooth Houswife" get it, got it, good!

Nobody does it better than Kathy, ask the fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, like me. 

Oh that Kathy could let loose with the most off the wall zingers at the most unexpected times. 

She's got style, she's got class and she does it all with sass!!!

My only remaining "?" is WTF does spell check keep flagging Houndstooth as incorrectly spelled?!

This is the way it's written, I double checked. So be it, indeed....
