Michael's Musings

| Michael Shinafelt |
All that matters is the present. With this mantra in mind I took this selfie yesterday so I could look at it today and remember the moment and reflect on it and what it means right here, right now.
It's interesting the things that come to mind looking at this in the moment shot that I spontaneously took. So many thoughts and feelings attached to one present moment. We humans are complex creatures that is for sure, so let's enjoy the ride Minions!!!
I can tell you that you think I'm right for you, the more you know...
Katie Mahoney sussing out Tom Sandoval regarding Raquel/Rachel on last night's VPR was top tier reality TV
Why am I getting videos of people getting sucker punched recommended to me on Twitter?! I hate that type of thing and have NEVER given such a video a "Like"
On Tuesday's I'm HRH, follow protocol

Heard there is a film called Cinnamon, wonder if it's based on that one time in Vegas with my friend Karen back in the day when we encountered a woman by that name???
No one has ever referred to me as Mellow Yellow

Hump Day & Chill
 |
| Do You Have Any Grey Poupon? |
Look it's Norman Bates with two female dancers from the Ziegfeld Follies perhaps? Or maybe not...
Whatever the case this whimsical photo was clearly taken on set during the making of Psycho. I'm not quite sure what would inspire this shot while filming a movie along these lines but I'm quite sure there is an interesting back story which I plan to research once I have more time to do so.
This being stated whimsy is the tone of today's Hump Day & Chill and whimsy there shall be all day and night until the clock strikes twelve.
Ram a lam a ding dong Minions!

Docu-series stars drag icons Alaska Thunderf*ck and Lola LeCroix
2023 DRAG QUEEN OF THE YEAR COMPETITION AWARD CONTEST COMPETITION PAGEANT
TO TAKE PLACE LIVE IN-PERSON SUNDAY, MAY 14 AT THE MONTALBAN THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES
OUTtv, the leading LGBTQ+ streaming platform, has announced the premiere date for “Behind the Drag Queen of the Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition”, a new docu-series that goes behind the scenes of legendary drag queens Alaska Thunderf*ck and Lola LeCroix’s Drag Queen Of The Year contest. The new season will premiere on
Friday April 21, 2023 in the US.
“Behind the Drag Queen of the Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition”
follows renowned drag queens Alaska Thunderf*ck and her creative drag partner Lola
LeCroix as they put together their annual drag pageant to crown the Drag Queen Of
The Year. The docu-series provides a detailed look into the planning and creativity that
occurs backstage of drag competitions, and closely follows the duo as they come up
against challenges and setbacks, including a nightmare in tech rehearsals with just
hours until showtime. Contestants on the show include Andrew Barret Cox,
Bambi Banks-Couleé, Dvvsk, Militia Scunt, Neon Calypso, Ramona Slick and Twink
Trash.
Alaska Thunderf*ck and Lola LeCroix added: “Our goal with The Drag Queen of the
Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition is to provide a platform for Drag
artists who come from a variety of unique Drag perspectives. In a time where the
artform of Drag is under attack, amplifying queer voices is more important than ever,
and we’re looking forward to continuing this Pageant’s legacy. We’re grateful to all of
the incredible 2022 DQOY contestants, our crew behind the scenes, and to OUTtv and
Froot.tv who, through this series, will show the Pageant from all sides-- capturing the
stressful, chaotic, and ultimately inspirational essence of Drag Queen of the Year.”
Philip Webb, COO of OUTtv, said: “This show is every bit as chaotic and fun as its
name suggests – giving audiences a back stage pass to one of the most iconic
competitions in drag! In the face of bigoted and damaging legislation placed on drag
performances in the US, we’re proud to show the world the creativity, artistry, and
positivity of all forms of drag. There’s nobody more knowledgeable than Alaska and Lola
to show us the immense amount of hard work that goes into these events and to guide
us through the sea of glitter, wigs - and claws - which inevitably come out for the annual
pageant.”
The six-episode series is a Froot and OUTtv Original produced by PEG Productions.
The show will be available exclusively on the OUTtv Apple TV Channel, the OUTtv Roku Channel and OUTtv.com in the US; OUTtv linear, OUTtvGo.com and the OUTtv Amazon Prime Channel in Canada and FROOT.tv in the UK and Ireland a week later (April 29, 2023).
