Dark Lady

"She Dealt Two Cards, A Queen And A Three..."
Chrissy Teigen 

"Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12

She told me more about me than I knew myself" - Cher, Dark Lady  

So's here's Chrissy Teigen out and about in Los Angeles attired head to toe in black, naturally. Well OK, not perhaps naturally per se, but looking good.

For some reason the the song Dark Lady by Cher sprang to mind when I saw this photo. 

I mean seriously, couldn't you see Chrissy in New Orleans fortune telling with cards in this outfit? I sure can and perhaps she has a black cat for effect.

Hold on I'm getting a vibration from looking at Ms. Teigen, it says you are all going to seize the day and make it yours.

Dark Lady indeed!!!

Current Mood

Knowing Me, Knowing You
Christopher Meloni, Dylan McDermott & Tamara Taylor

Is it my imagination or has Law & Order: Organized Crime finally got into it's groove? No it isn't my imagination at all I'm happy to say, and I just did.

The whole Elliot Stabler, Richard Wheatley obsessing over each other thing is giving me chills that are multiplying.

Bear witness to this still from last weeks episode. Nothing stalker like about that...Not!!!

Going into another unpredictable week of 2022 this is my Current Mood. What mood you say? Unpredictable and somewhat on the edge is what's happening in the world at present. This photo captures that to perfection.

So gird your loins Minions and get ready for the last week of the first month of 2022. Try not to let the rhythm get you, capice?!

Let Them Eat Pie!

Can't You See What I See?
Britney Spears

Today in case you haven't figured it out, is National Pie Day, Yay! My personal favorite is cherry. 

When this day appeared on the calendar straight outta the WWW my first thought was Britney Spears from her iconic video If U Seek Amy. Honestly considering all that is happening in Britney world I am sure that also brought this image from said song to the forefront of my consciousness.

"Love me, hate me, say what you want about me, But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy" - Britney Spears, If U Seek Amy

Hey the lyrics are pretty on point timeline wise, no? "Yes" they are...!

So join me and "It's Britney Bitch" and celebrate pie by eating one, putting peeps in their place with the utterance "Let Them Eat Pie!" or by simply smashing one in someone's face.

Who said National Pie Die was bereft of levity? Not this guy!

Celebrating 50! "American Pie"

Grammy-winning Songwriters Hall of Fame member Don McLean celebrates the 50th anniversary of his global hit “American Pie” reaching #1 on the Billboard chart, where it stayed for four weeks! To commemorate the anniversary, McLean has coined his international 50th Anniversary “American Pie” World Tour which will visit multiple destinations in N. America, UK/Europe, and Australia!  

American Songwriter discusses the oft-debated meaning of “American Pie” here. And CBS News Radio’s Steve Futterman caught up with McLean recently and shared this story with their listeners.
 
“I was writing songs and started singing ‘A long, long time ago’ right through ‘til the day the music died… I can still remember how that music used to make me smile…’ on and on right that day - just that whole thing right into the tape recorder. And I said, ‘Man, what is that?? That is so neat.’ I realized I'd captured the thing about Buddy and his death that I'd been feeling all those years in that one piece of music. Then I waited about three months and I figured out what I was gonna do and just wrote the whole thing in about an hour…,” said McLean.

McLean kicks off his international tour next Friday, January 28 at the Blue Note in Hawaii, then takes a midwestern swing with a stop at The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. “American Pie” was birthed from death - ‘The Day The Music Died’ – coined after the fatal flight when pop/rock legends Buddy Holly (“That’ll Be The Day”, “Peggy Sue”), Ritchie Valens (“La Bamba”), J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, Jr. (“Chantilly Lace”) tragically lost their lives in an airplane crash after the concert February 3, 1959. McLean will pay tribute to the legendary trio with his sold-out anniversary concert there on February 3, 2022.

Film Buff Friday: Surf Nazis Must Die

Girlfriend in a Troma...

An earthquake leaves the California coastline in ruins and reduces the beaches to a state of chaos. A group of neo-Nazis led by Adolf (Brenner), the self-proclaimed "Führer of the new beach", takes advantage of the resulting chaos by fighting off several rival surfer gangs to seize control of the beaches. Meanwhile, an African American oil well worker named Leroy (Harden) is killed by the surf Nazis while jogging on the beach. Leroy's mother, "Mama" Washington (Neely), devastated by the loss of her son, vows revenge. After arming herself with a handgun and grenades, she breaks out of her retirement home and exacts vengeance on the Surf Nazis.

"Yes" Minions today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to Jennifer Tilly's hat. Thus you have no obligation to make sense of it or me. I'm simply in love with Jennifer's love of hats. Get over it.

Jennifer's top hat is so "very" that I just had to share the hat love with you all.

"You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are" Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland

OMG! More haberdashery from yours truly. I think I've gone mad as a hatter, hat crazy, talk to the hat, born to hat jive.

Before I become more of an ass-hat let's just tip our brims and Hump Day & Chill by putting on the Ritz fantastic shall we? We shall!

This HD & C was brought to by sheer lunacy, I now need to brand a hat with that moniker!

Leave your hat on with Jennifer at -
