Rain Rain Go Away
16 year old viral teen sensation Havanna Winter, is a musical artist, actress, and influencer. In 2020 she gained worldwide attention after going viral on TikTok and currently has a fanbase of over 6 million followers across her social media platforms. Havanna was born in Oslo, Norway, but spent her childhood summers in Spain. With Spanish summers and Viking winters running through her veins, she made the transatlantic move to Los Angeles, California at the age of 9. With a burgeoning music career on the horizon, Havanna has signed with Stevie Van Zandt's new imprint Wonderwall Records. Van Zandt says "Wonderwall Records is our new imprint that focuses more on the Pop side of things and we're looking forward to Havanna being the first release." The plan is to release 3 singles this year with an album to come next year, all guided by Executive Producer Maya K (Bebe Rexha, Anita, J Balvin). Maya K says, "I am very excited to work with such a talented artist like Havanna. It’s really inspiring to be able to work with an artist who has such a clear vision of who she is and what she wants." A video for the first single “rain rain go away” written by Rhyan Besco (Prettymuch, Shaylen) and co-produced by Truls Dyrseth and William Van Zandt, is now streaming at: https://youtu.be/YZ8HrUxlbNA. Of the video, Winter says, "We went for a The Lost Boys vibe. It's one of my favorite movies and biggest sources of inspiration, so the fact that it looks a bit raw only adds to the eighties vibe we were going for!" The clip was produced by the music video's cinematographer Michael Donovan and creative director Anette Winter, with editing by Alexander Zarate from Scope. Inspired by filmmakers Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and Tim Burton, as well as films like "The Lost Boys” "Pulp Fiction" "Dazed and Confused,” Havanna’s musical vision is to creatively deliver a cinematic experience and sound with every song release. Cultivating elements of her retro interests has allowed Havanna to bring new life to them in the digital world. |

Freaky Friday
 |
| Who's Those Girls? |
Imagine The Wizard of Oz with Britney Spears as Dorothy and Madonna as Glinda...imagine no more because woot here they are as those exact characters!
It's like the movie Freaky Friday except with classic movie characters, ya know???
This re-imagining was done by photo-shop artist Ronald McDonkey who I follow on Instagram.
His vision of celebrities gone wild is pointed, funny and political.
Thus I will leave you with Madge and Britney as it were and as they are, right here, right now.
Now click your heels together three times...
Wand Drop!

Michael's Musings

| My Head Is Being Pulled By The Stars Again... Michael Shinafelt |
Ever take flights of fancy in your mind that manifest themselves in your real life? Well lately mine have been materializing in my actual life outside of my head and it is truly amazing!
Visualization works Minions, on a scale of 1-10 it definitely rates a 10! Can we talk now?! "Yes" we can!!!
Watched my Queen Garcelle absolutely slay on last night's RHOBH
Yippee Ki-Yay Sparkle Farts!
Happy 86th Birthday to Robert Redford. I met him once, he did not disappoint
Current ear worm: At Last by Etta James
He forced me out the back door, think about it, but not too much...
Thought's on Tim Burton's Netflix series Wednesday? Personally I'm on the fence after viewing the trailer
Don't give up one day you'll be ______ fill it in, it's blank Minions
There's a horror film named Glorious, it's about a Glory Hole. This was inevitable, who didn't see this coming at some point?
Woman Crush of the Week - Jenna Ortega, even though I have reservations about Wednesday, I don't have any about the current Scream Queen. She was great in X and, well, Scream!
I hate when people show me photos of their newborns and I have to pretend to be fascinated. Like their newborn doesn't look like everyone else's
Everything happens for a reason you make up after the fact
Living my best angle
Surrender the Big Pink! If you know, you know
Feeling perpetually cute of late

Hump Day & Chill
 |
| Elizabeth Taylor & Montgomery Clift |
Of late I have been yearning for the Hollywood days of yore when there were real Movie Stars, ya know?
This image a BFF's Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift captures all that and more. Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to old Hollywood and this dynamic duo.
Seemingly and most likely this photo was taken on the set of Suddenly Last Summer, a great film that I need to watch again as it has been years since I've seen it. I'm sure my understanding of it will have expanded since I am now older with more life experience, right here, right now.
Thus that is exactly how I'm gonna Hump Day & Chill by fixing myself a gin martini and kicking it old school with Liz & Monty and Suddenly Last Summer.
What's on your agenda?!?!

Massacre At Central High
The startling U.S. debut of Dutch writer/director Rene Daalder, originally released in 1976, Massacre at Central High is a thriller about a high school transfer student who resorts to murder after being pushed too far by a trio of bullies. When it appears he has freed his fellow classmates from the rule of violent oppressors, the newfound power becomes too much and soon the bullied become the bullies.
For years, Massacre at Central High more or less slipped under the radar. With the exception of Robert Carradine, the cast consisted of actors you might recognize but not know by name. That, coupled with a title that suggests it might be your run-of-the-mill slasher rather than a smart commentary on the power and influence of violence, has resulted in an under-appreciated gem.
Not everyone overlooked the film, however. In an early '80s episode of Sneak Previews, famed critic Roger Ebert listed Massacre at Central High as one of his guilty pleasures, praising it as "an intelligent and uncompromising allegory about the psychology of violence." Ebert further elaborated on how the "well-crafted" film does an excellent job showcasing how the "student body is a breeding ground for fascism." Nearly fifty years later, those themes present in the film are as relevant as ever.
The new release from Synapse features a high-definition 1080p remaster scanned, transferred and supervised by Daalder. The Blu-ray also contains a full course-load of special features including the brand-new documentary Hell in the Hallways: The Making of Massacre at Central High. Massacre at Central High stars Andrew Stevens, Derrel Maury, Kimberly Beck, Rainbeaux Smith, and Robert Carradine.

Smile It's Monday, Or Not
 |
| Pee Wee Herman |
Smile, it's Monday - or perhaps NOT!!! I'm feeling loopy and for some reason known exclusively to the corners of my mind. Pee Wee Herman's secret word of the day materialized in my head. Ya know straight outta Pee Wee's Playhouse?! Of course you do!
While "Moist" was never the secret word on his actual show, it's the word I'm using today via this meme because it elicits a strong negative or positive reaction.
"Yes" Minions my goal is to make you smile or not today because I feel like pushing buttons. I'm provocative that way.
Thus enjoy your Monday and my contribution to your mirth or discomfort. The choice is yours.
