"Time for the old in-n-out" - Alex DeLarge, A Clockwork Orange

Oh yes Minions I thought we would give Hump Day & Chill it's literal due with some of the old "in-n-out" and I'm  not talking burgers either. 

While I can't really give you too many deets, what I can give you is Malcom McDowell dressed as his character from the Stanley Kubrick classic dressed as his character Alex DeLarge now and how he looked as Alex in the actual film.

Yeah, not quite as titillating, but...you get the picture,right??? 

I remember seeing A Clockwork Orange as a teenager and how riveted I was by it. Malcom McDowell is completely mesmerizing in it. It was an early masterpiece that had a huge impact on me (a lot of the 70s cinema did for that matter.)

According to a film buff friend of mine it plays an important part in my visual style and in my photo shoots as well. He claims I reference it that way a lot, something I never noticed until he pointed it out to me.

So there you have it get ready to Hump Day & Chill with some "old in-n-out" Hey, that's my plan...

Vertigo

No matter what time of the year it is, what celebration we are having, it's always classic movie time!!!

Pride season is no exception. Thus I bring to you one of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpieces, notice I stated one as he had more than one masterpiece, Vertigo.

It's a thriller about something we can all relate to: obsession.

Here's where I leave you in the capable hands of my buddy Jay Jacobson and his classic movie blog.

Jay's astute writing and perception are all you need to introduce you or to get you reacquainted  with the Jimmy Stewart/Kim Novak starrer.

Get ready to celebrate PRIDE month in style with Yvie Oddly's latest record that's set to change the game within the Hip Hop/EDM scene. 

LISTEN TO YO HERE

"I’m excited about this project because it’s so trippy" states Yvie. "I tend to take shit too seriously, but I just had fun on this! I took these colorful soundscapes, wrote whatever my brain thought of, and just let it flow out of me. It’s as operatic and campy as it is witty and biting. This was such a fun casual flex to write and perform.  The same goes for all my collaborators. I worked with producers who didn’t shy away from bold sounds or surreal moods. And I even got to collab with two queer artists (Cakes Da Killa & Wreckno) who are known for breaking boundaries in the music industry. It’s overall unapologetic, proud, and fun at a time when we need it most."

You’ll also be able to catch Yvie live as she embarks on the RuPaul Drag Race Werq World Tour as well as her own Strange Love Tour. Strange Love features Yvie in her debut one-woman show chock full of outrageous comedy, insane musical numbers, and gratuitous nipple play.

Once Upon A Sunday In Hollywood...

 

Viva Pride!!!

If you're headed to Hollywood today for the Pride Parade have a great time Minions!!! 

Margaret Cho can add one more honorific to her wildly long list of accomplishments, as she has been named this year’s Icon Grand Marshal of the LA Pride Parade. She is part of a trio of Grand Marshals that also includes the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Southern California as the Community Grand Marshal, and the late gay actor Leslie Jordan. who will be honored posthumously as the parade’s Legacy Grand Marshal.

“I’m thrilled and incredibly honored to be the Icon Grand Marshal,” said Cho. “We need this Pride more than ever. I have been attending Pride celebrations since 1978 and this time around the need to celebrate as well as unite is more urgent than it has ever been. Our love is greater than their hate.

Jana “Cricket” Jordan, Leslie’s sister, shared her joy over her brother being named Legacy Grand Marshal. “This honor further solidifies the positive impact he made in the world, but more importantly for the LGBTQ+ community. His spirit continues to bring love and light,” she shared.

Here's the 411 for today's Pride Parade -
