Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Flan!
Karen Castrischer Stegall & Michael Shinafelt

While we were not celebrating Cinco de Mayo, we were celebrating nonetheless. Here is a blast from the margarita bandit past of my friend Karen Castrischer Stegall and yours truly, imbibing at the famous Mexican Restaurant El Coyote.

El Coyote is most known for being the place that Sharon Tate last dined before her untimely passing. 

I can't recall what year this was but it was Karen was merely a Castricsher, sans the Stegall.

So bend it like us and whoop it up, it's not only Cinco de Mayo, it's also Friday...

TGIF!!!

Michael's Musings

Michael Shinafelt

Happy Star Wars Day Minions! May the 4th be with you and yours. "Yes" today is Star Wars Day as everyone knows by now and the 4th is strong within me. I remember being completely obsessed with Star Wars when it first came out, yep I was 100% that guy.

Now? I've gotten older and moved on from it. I didn't even see the latest round of sequels. That being said my memories of being a huge Star Wars fan are happy ones, now brandish your light saber and let's slay some Stormtroopers shall we? Of course we shall!!!

Watching Vanderpump Rules today. Did I miss anything juicy?!?!

Therapy Geckos are totally different head

Remember the time when you gave her an Ibuprofen and a tampon?

Dear autocorrect. It's never duck, thank you

Perhaps the reason you haven't found your soul mate is you don't have a soul

In honor of Star Wars day I'll let you in on a secret. I used to have the biggest crush on Luke Skywalker

Headline I'd Love To See: "Goofy Beats Ron DeSantis To Death With A Crowbar" now that's entertainment! 

That's so mental 

Woman Crush of the Week - how could it not be Carrie Fisher who is receiving a posthumous star today (naturally) on Hollywood's Walk of Fame

Together they are unstoppable: The Bottom Rangers

Find yourself a daily dose of cuteness elsewhere 

"Meatloaf" is the best "Safe Word" it means "I would do anything for love but I won't do that"

The Writer's Guild is on strike and I stand with them

BTW there seems to be a pattern here...

Wanna what the pattern is? Follow me, so there!

Paging Traci Lords For Law & Order: SVU

Traci Lords

As all you Law & Order: SVU fans out there, like me, know it has been renewed for season 25, WOW!!! Making it's longest running TV Drama reign ever even longer...

When a show is on this long needless to say just about everyone has guest starred on it. Except for one notable exception, I would love to see Traci Lords appear on the show. 

Traci has done many TV guest starring roles of note such as a great turn as Sharon Lescher on the Profiler, not to leave out also appearing on Will & Grace, Roseanne and Melrose Place.

She also gives an great performance in the psychological horror film Excision, not to mention her terrific stage debut in Women Behind Bars at The Montalban in Hollywood, CA just prior to the pandemic. 

How great would she be on SVU? Amazing! That's how great she would be.

My thought would be for her to portray someone from Benson's (Mariska Hargitay) past. There's a loaded scenario just waiting to explode. 

To those out there responsible for casting decisions consider this great idea my gift to you and do it!

Happy May Day!

Heading Into May Like...
Carrie White

It's May the first Minions, typically known as May Day. It also happens to be Monday, May Day Monday is what I'm calling it, so there!

As I emerge from a chaotic April I'm grateful to see the things settling in, some, "Yes" I am a big fan of low vibe energy, it's the best kind. 

Thus I'm making like Carrie White and emerging from the wreckage into, well who knows, but I'm sure it's better than the fate that Carrie met.

Time for a pole dance!

Well here we go the last Sunday of April 2023, while the year is whizzing by we need to celebrate today in true Sunday Funday style!

Thus I hereby bequeath you a gaggle of dancing aliens. You know the ones made famous straight outta Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien that spawned many a sequel? Most notably James Cameron's Aliens, yeah those multiple creatures just keep giving us chills that multiply, never divide. 

So let's make like these aliens today and shake our groove thang, shall we?
