These Boots Were Made For Walkin'
Walkin' in NY
Shay Mitchell
"These boots are made for walkin', And that's just what they'll do, One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you" Nancy Sinatra, These Boots Were Made For Walkin'
Are you ready, boots? It's time to start walkin' - remember Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars and the first season of You?
Well here she is in NYC wearing a really cool pair of red boots with the caption:
I 
NY (I also love these boots and not wearing pants 
)
No lies detected in this statement. Anyway Shay is so stylish and pretty and I'm sure a liar, like everyone else given specific situations.
But when you have boots like these you can do pretty much whatever you like.
Do you!!!

Getting To Know The Whitmore Sisters
 |
| The Whitmore Sisters |
Sat., Apr. 23 •LOS ANGELES• Hotel Cafe
1623 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Showtime: 7:00 p.m. Tickets $25
Media praise for The Whitmore Sisters recently released album Ghost Stories (Red House Records, 1/21/22)
“Sibling harmony can be a contradiction in terms. It also makes for lovely music, and that’s the case here. The sisterly sonorities of Eleanor and Bonnie Whitmore mesh beautifully on their duo debut, the voices are easy to differentiate but complementary as they explore a range of styles.” -- ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ghosts are always with us, waiting for the right moment, or reason, to reveal themselves. Then a song, a stretch of road, or someone’s laughter hits your ear, and suddenly you’re back in the moment, feeling the rush of emotions as if time never moved on. For Eleanor and Bonnie Whitmore, two of roots music’s most accomplished songwriter/ instrumentalist/ vocalists, the ghosts chose to appear right as Covid became entrenched — when live music evaporated and people were isolated from each other.
Bonnie, whose four solo albums are all state-of-a-real-woman’s-heart jewels, decided to join sister Eleanor and her husband Chris Masterson in their Los Angeles closed circle for a break. Chris, who’s recorded four albums with his wife as The Mastersons, saw the visit as an opportunity to issue a practical mandate: If Bonnie was coming, it was time for the sisters to make an album. Not just an album, but “the album” — the musical inevitability that’s been simmering since a 22-year-old Eleanor was protecting her curly headed 15-year-old sister at gigs in local bars. The collection, along with two covers — a song by their pal Aaron Lee Tasjan (“Big Heart Sick Mind” and “On the Wings of a Nightingale” (written by Paul McCartney for iconic siblings The Everly Brothers) — was produced by Chris Masterson and completes Ghost Stories, their debut album which was released on January 21, 2022 on Red House Records.
The sisters’ closeness and unconventional upbringing, not to mention their melodic sensibility and pure blood harmonies, have created something truly special with their debut album.
“We have all these things that make us us,” Bonnie says. “Our mother was an opera singer; our father was a folk singer. Trained to fly as girls by a father who was an accomplished Navy Air carrier pilot, they were exposed to amphibious planes, jets, props and all sorts of aviation possibilities. Consequently, The Whitmore Sisters see the world from an above-the-world perspective. Marveling at the whimsy that comes with flying, they also acknowledge that flight allows you to see things in larger ways and make connections most people miss.

“We’re both seasoned musicians,” Eleanor offers. “We’ve made so many records on our own, for ourselves and with other artists. I’m classically trained. When we come together, we understand each other, because we have so much shared musical vocabulary.”
Ultimately, Ghosts Stories' cathartic songs embrace the beauty and the experience of living. What came from lockdown and shared experiences —hiking the Grand Canyon at 5, playing bars at 15 or just embracing the beauty of living — is an album to take you places and make you feel so alive.
“Music should move people,” Eleanor affirms. “Or at least cause some kind of reaction. Sometimes it’s comforting, or you can rock out! I’ve always liked Woody Guthrie’s way of looking at it: “Music is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”

In light of declining her Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame nomination I do hope Dolly Parton makes good on her promise to record a rock album I'm sure like everything she does it would be amazing!
Shiny Serum in my wine, makes me feel happy, makes me feel fine
It's got boredom's fingerprints all over it
Leprecons, think about it, but not too much
This is the girl
Bust that pipe until it's leaking
Recently saw Saturday Night Fever again (after many years) Daaaaamn! I forgot how hardcore it is.
Those times when you almost eat the table
Woman Crush of the Week - Courtney Cox, who has a new series Shining Vale on Starz, not to mention she is offering us St. Patrick's Day cookies

Hump Day & Chill
 |
| Homicidal Tendencies Paul Dano as The Riddler |
Like many of you out there I am still reeling over The Batman. What an amazing piece of filmmaking! Unlike many of you I have not seen the film twice or even five times. Honestly Minions it's three hours long how you have found the time to do that is well beyond my comprehension. This being stated I definitely do want another go at it as I am 100% certain it will get even better on a second viewing.
While there are many things about it that rent space in my head daily, today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to Paul Dano as The Riddler. Never has there ever been a more terrifying depiction of this villain in a Batman movie. In fact his first appearance on screen in the film is straight outta a horror movie.
Did you know Matt Reeves modeled his Riddler after the infamous Zodiac Killer who terrorized CA in the 1960's? Well now you do, and it shows in how genuinely creepy Dano is in the role.
So a big Hump Day & Chill salute to Paul Dano, who haunts our collective nightmares. OK, time for me to get to that second go of The Batman...Ciao!

Pushing Daisies
 |
| Pusher Jon Hamm |
Saw this photo of Jon Hamm looking sexy as usual with a daisy and decided today that I'm gonna be a pusher, of daisies that is, especially ones in the same zip code as Jon Hamm.
"Yes" the only thing that makes this daisy special is it's getting Hammered. Seriously daisies are rather bland as flowers go.
The point of this? Daisies are a go to thing, only if they have some Hamm on the side.
Flower Power?

Current Mood
 |
| Ally Dua Lipa |
With the attack on the LGBTQ community in Florida, not to mention other places around the world my Current Mood is one of Pride.
"Yes" Minions be proud of who you are and don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
Hey, it makes it easier when we have the likes of Dua Lipa as an ally.
Thus marching into a new week, adopt a different attitude and proudly express yourself.
Keep on keeping and remember: If you can't love yourself, how the Hell are you going to love anyone else???
Flag Wave!
