Halloween Countdown

It's mid September, thus it is not too early for me to start counting down the days until Halloween, 45 at present.

Also I could not resist posting this awesome mash-up of Scooby Doo v Michael Myers.

"Yes" that's the intrepid Fred receiving the brunt of Michael's rage in a way that is quite reminiscent of Annie's boyfriend Paul in the 1978 classic.

FYI I did not have to look the above reference or information up, that's how much of a fan of the original I am. How many times have I seen it? I would estimated at this point roughly 50 since I watch it every year it is aired during spooky season and then some.

So grab yourself a Scooby Snack and the it will only be the tip, I promise...

T.G.I.F Minions!!!

Michael's Musings

Current Mood
Michael Shinafelt

I've been in a good place of late, yet it has been one that has lacked the focus I need at present. Thus my Current Mood is one that is a tad disheveled and such.

Don't worry Darlins as long as you are in a good place it's something that can be remedied in a short period of time, in fact I'm almost there! Let's get to the good stuff, carrying on...

Zendaya is f#cking amazing and, she deserved her second Emmy win for Euphoria!!!

I'm confident my last words will be: "Are You F#cking Kidding Me?"

When in doubt be a Sea Hag, the more you know

Be your own phallic mother, and your own vaginal father as well

All hail Kathy Hilton the Queen of Subtle Shade

Get a load of that foolery, pick a lane for it, there are many

I was today years old when I first heard of the Hardees fast food chain

When you die people cry and beg for you to come back. Then they run and scream when you  do

Woman Crush of the Week - Mia Goth as Pearl. Loved X can't wait to see this when it opens tomorrow!!!

Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay at the Emmys were a whole vibe

Hump Day & Chill

Harrison Ford & Ke Huy Quan

Nothing says Hump Day & Chill like this photo of Harrison Ford & Ke Huy Quan reuniting after 38 long years apart. 

As you may or may not recall (it's an age and nostalgia thing) Ke Huy Quan played Short Round Indiana Jones sidekick in, what else, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The 411 is Harrison was at D23 to present the trailer for the 2023 Indiana Jones movie and bumped into Quan. 

Reunited and it feels so good!

Thus your Hump Day & Chill assignment is to reunite with someone, something or somewhere that you have been away from way too long, or short (round.)

It's all about that bass, or something like that...!!!

Caught In The Act

CAUGHT IN THE ACT:

A MEMOIR

By Shane Jenek aka Courtney Act

 

  

“Hysterical! Shockingly honest, raunchy, funny and moving, and a hugely surprising education for me. A must-read for anyone curious to know the complexities of being Shane and Courtney!”
—Dannii Minogue, Australian singer, actress, and television personality

Behind SHANE JENEK’s rise to global fame as beloved drag queen COURTNEY ACT is a story of searching for and finding oneself. Told with Courtney’s trademark candor and wit, CAUGHT IN THE ACT: A MEMOIR (Pantera Press: September 13, 2022) is a hilarious, often scandalous, and at times heartbreaking, peek into the entertainment icon’s journey towards understanding gender, sexuality and identity.   

In CAUGHT IN THE ACT: A MEMOIR, Courtney writes about growing up in Brisbane, Australia in the 80s and 90s and how adolescent Shane’s unconventional angst was pitted against the love of his traditionally wholesome parents.  She shares tales of the thrill in discovering the Sydney drag scene and then unflinchingly recounts her adventures into its seedier side that led her to dabbling in methamphetamines and multiple sexual encounters with a broad spectrum of sexualities and genders including straight-identifying men.

Of course, Courtney also dives deep into her wild ride into the world of entertainment, losing so many TV reality shows and finally winning one.  There's lots of Drag Race tea spilled, too, including her shaky introduction to Adore Delano and oh, the time RuPaul blocked her on Twitter.  

In CAUGHT IN THE ACT: A MEMOIR, Courtney Act does what she does best:  she dazzles and titillates.  At the same time, her honest reflections help readers to reexamine and appreciate wrong choices they may have made that ironically helped steer them toward the right path on their own life’s journey.
