Last night I had the pleasure of catching Ariel Beesley aka Tender Misfit live at Record Safari in Atwater Village.
Even though it wasn't a full set it was a great show! So great that I am going to go and catch her doing a full set this Friday in an actual concert venue The Bourbon Room in Hollywood. If you live in the area and attend come say Hi. Here are some photos (and a video) for ya from the show...

David Archuleta’s upward spiral continues with the official release of his brand new music video HERE for his latest single, “I’m Yours” HERE “I’m Yours” is a song I wanted to get people dancing and smiling to. It’s all about letting yourself go and being happy with a feel good, summery vibe. It was fun working with video director Brad Hammer and his team because they were able to bring all the bright colors I wanted to life while making things light, fun and unique. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I had fun making it” says David.
David recently spoke about what’s on the horizon musically with Entertainment Weekly – “Up” it’s kind of like the prelude. It’s meant to tie where I’m coming from, my past, my history — but it’s also coming from a place where I was at the bottom of that, at the end of that path. I’ve lived out the end of this, and I don’t know where else to go. This is continuing down a very dark place, and I need to get out of it now. So this is me saying, I’m accepting myself as I am, as a queer person, and letting myself be seen, every aspect of myself. And I’m just letting all of me be seen now. And not being so afraid of hiding myself and being afraid of what people will say if people find out. I’m just like, you know what, now they know! And now it’s just moving up, and I’m gonna have fun. There’s no need to hide anything anymore — just have a good time. There are some really fun songs that are gonna get people dancing as well, that I’m really excited about. And there are still some classic ballads. I feel like these songs are more about love, something that I always shied away from before because it was something I didn’t relate to. I don’t think I ever really experienced love the way everyone talks about in songs and novels and all that. I’m talking about what it’s like for me to experience it for the first time really and fully. I’m excited to share that, in fun ways, dance ways, and also in ballad-y ways. I’m excited to share this new chapter and these new songs with everyone. The first ones will be out the beginning of summer, leading to a full album release later this year.
In addition, David is set to perform at his first-ever Pride event this Sunday, July 16 in San Diego California alongside Saucy Santana and Princess Nokia - Event Info Here. ”As this will be my first formal pride performance (outside of Utah’s Loveloud last year) I am looking forward to connecting with the community and learning about what pride events are like. As this will also be my first time attending in a way outside of Loveloud, which is more catered to the Utah culture and community there.”

"Yes" Minions one week from today the world forever changes. Barbenheimer will be upon us and what happens in the wake of this remains to be seen. All I know is I can't wait!
The only two movies I had any interest in seeing this summer of course had to open on the same day. It is a blessed event for sure!
Will I be seeing them both on the same day as many are? No, I believe Barbie clocks in at almost two hours and Oppenheimer is three. Too much movie in one day for this guy.
Friday opening day matinee of Barbie for me and then Monday matinee of Oppenheimer is my plan.
What are your plans for the day the world forever changes???

Recently it has been brought to my attention that I tend to need constant stimulation. While I don't think this the whole story I do believe it to be true to some extent. I'm here to let you all know, right here, right now, one of the best gifts you can give yourself is the gift of meditation.
Put the phone down, don't turn on the TV and simply switch off! "Yes" it's that simple and quite beneficial I might add. As soon as I have completed this weeks musings I'm going to do exactly that. Time to move onward...
Saw the documentary about Wham! on Netflix. While hardly revelatory it was very nostalgic for me. "Yes" I am that many years old.
Barbenheimer, Barbenheimer, Barbenheimer that's all I ever hear!!!
Repressing murderous rage with sugar, just sayin'
Eat, Sleep, Voodoo - priorities
Jesus drove a Honda, but he never spoke of it because he "did not speak of his own accord"
The next stage in my healing journey? Running around calling people c#nts
Congrats to Vanderpump Rules on it's first Emmy Nomination, a well deserved one I might add, and I just did
Please do not feed the whores, the more you know...
Woman Crush of the Week - Courtney Love, because Live Through This is one of the greatest albums ever made IMHO. "Yes" I've been listening to it lately, it's real and spectacular!!!
Twitter seems awfully tipsy of late
Speaking of Twitter is there any hot ne place all the cool kids are migrating to yet? Not a passing fancy place an actual hub.
Please stop trying to be like everyone else. You don't even like everyone else
How many witches does it take to change a light bulb? Depends what you want it changed into I'm guessing
Now is the time
Time for what you might ask? Find out here...

Tromaville, New Jersey has a monstrous new hero! The Toxic Avenger is born when meek mop boy Melvin (Mark Torgl, The First Turn-On) falls into a vat of toxic waste after being relentlessly bullied by the jerks in the health club where he works. Now Toxie is here to serve and protect the people of Tromaville from evildoers out to destroy him and the town!
For the first time in the history of mankind, all four Toxic Avenger films of the world famous franchise have been brought together into one Tromarific 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray package! This "TOXSET" (which you could hold in your hands if you hand over your money to buy these again) will prove to be an increasingly valuable collectible. Because Lloyd Kaufman, Toxie's creator, is over 70 years old, he could die at any time. This will make this limited edition soar in value!

*The original negative of The Toxic Avenger Part II, while complete, was missing several short dialogue sequences in the opening third, which had been removed for pacing reasons. Although no film materials for these sequences could be located, in order to present the most complete version possible, these short segments were inserted from the highest quality digital master.

Couldn't have put this better myself. This applies to you men as well.
