C'mon Barbie!

Standing Tall
Margot Robbie
as
Barbie!!!

OK, I admit the ONLY reason the Barbie movie was on my radar remotely was the talent involved. "Yes" I tend to pay attention when Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach decide to combine forces.

Yet, I was still skeptical, I mean honestly what can you really do with the premise that wouldn't be ridiculous?!

Well even though I'm still not sure what they are doing with the actual film in terms of premise, after seeing the teaser trailer that dropped yesterday...sing me up, I'm there!!!

C'mon Barbie Let's Go Party...Hit the teaser below...

Ave Maria

Remember Mike Clifford? He was a Teen Idol in the 60's best known for his signature song Close To Cathy.

Did you know he is still making music? Well he is, he has a wonderful rendition of the Christmas staple Ave Maria as a gift to all of his fans and music lovers.

At this point I am betting you are wanting to hear it, well get it after the jump!

Ho, ho, ho and all that jazz...

Michael's Musings

 Interpretations Welcome
Michael Shinafelt

So yesterday I took myself to lunch for my Birthday (which isn't until Sunday, but I am otherwise engaged then) at my local Mexican Restaurant Casita Del Campo, which has been in the Silverlake neighborhood for 60 years!!!

Thus the Christmas themed selfie you all got with my Musings today Minions, yeah slowly but surely I'm getting there. Call me the little engine and carry on!

Deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable, the more you know...

Let's change the term "anal bleaching" to "changing your ring tone" shall we? We Shall!!!

Austin Butler is hosting this week's SNL to remind you of his Oscar worthy performance as Elvis

Reminder, do one small thing for yourself today. Like I did yesterday by taking myself to lunch

Straight guys are really comfortable with me, call me a gateway gay

Brian De Palma's Carrie has been added to the National Film Registry, and rightfully so

Remember that time the band The Go-Go's built an alter to Robert Goulet? No? Google it!

In case you were wondering Kate Hudson has an album coming out in 2023. Knowledge is power...

Woman Crush of the Week - Aubrey Plaza as Harper on this season of The White Lotus. She was great! Congratulations to her on her Golden Globe nomination for the role as well.

History was made at the White House December 13th 2022 - The Respect For Marriage Act

Thoughts on the Scream 6 teaser, I'm here for you. PS I wonder if Ghostface paid the fare to get on that subway 😉

Where are all the left wing billionaires?

Certain dogs look like they have good credit, you know the ones I am referring to

Remember that time I was almost killed by a ladder flying off the top of a truck while I was in the crosswalk? You don't well it's a true story, I'll tell you about it here...

Hump Day & Chill

Santa Baby
Santa Claus & Marilyn Monroe

All of you know by now that I am a huge Marilyn Monroe fan! Also I am aware that perhaps I need to put in more effort on the "Christmas Spirit" thing.

Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill with this whimsical piece of art featuring who else?! Marilyn Monroe & Santa Claus.

An image too cool for yule.

Hey, there really isn't too much else to add, you have the whole 411 on why this is my Hump Day & Chill gift from me to my Minions.

FYI only fourteen days left, and I have yet to start doing anything with regard to the whole to do. Perhaps I need to Hump Day & Christmas Card??? LOL!!!

Bonnie and Clyde

Tis the season for classic cinema (say "classic cinema" three times fast, I dare ya) - Thus I bequeath to you, straight outta Jay's Classic Movie Blog: Bonnie and Clyde.

Hey, it was 1967 when this groundbreaking film came out and I need to revisit it as I watched it when I was too young for it to really land in my underdeveloped mind. I believe it is currently on Netflix, unless it isn't any longer...

Also the two leads, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are terrific eye candy.

R.I.P. Tanya McQuoid

Jennifer Coolidge 
as
Tanya McQuoid

"Yes" Minions I called it (as did many others) - Tanya McQuoid said "Hello" to the other side on the season 2 finale of The White Lotus.

Hey let's face reality the character has run it's course over the past two seasons and really had no where to go in the just announced season 3.

Now for my truth. While many of you out there felt sorry for Tanya, I never have. She is her own worst enemy and "Yes" she isn't too bright. But for me at least she is a victim of her own narcissistic neediness. I mean seriously who blows off seeing a photo of their current husband with the gay host of the place they are staying because he distracts her with sex and a party in her honor?! 

Sure Jan...NOT! Red Flag party of one!!! She's a grown ass woman and knows better, but does it anyway. 

This being stated she did make for good viewing, while she lasted, and Jennifer Coolidge was brilliant in the role.

While I am not sure where people like Tanya end up in the afterlife, I hope it's somewhere people are giving to the needy.

Mic Drop!

I saw this rather cool image straight outta the WWW today of Shoe Designer Angela Simmons & her son Sutton with a guys who really needs not intro...The Grinch!

Thus with fourteen days left to Christmas I thought why not post it for my Minions?! 

"Yes" it's another gift in the spirit of the season from me to you with an assist from Ms. Simmons and her son, and of course you know "Who" literally, get it??? "Who"

"Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
