Rsoamund Pike, That's All

Rosamund Pike

"She'd do amything for attention" - Elspeth Catton, Saltburn 

And that Rosamund Pike did at last night's Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Rosamund's outfirt was full tilt Saltburn! It would make Elspeth proud to be seen in it.

The veil, while a stroke of designer genius served a practical purpose. It seems Ms. Pike had messed her face up somewhat in a skiing accident, While that isn't funny, it resulted in one of the most amazing things I have ever seen worn on a red carpet.

Meaning she should have worn the veil even if the accident hadn'g occured.

Let's bend it like Rosamund this Monday January 8th 2024. Kick it with your inner Elspeth Minioons!

Barbenheimer 2.0

Barbenheimer

Looks like it's a repeat of the summer movie season tonight, that's correct Minions it's Barbenheimer 2.0 as they square off at the Golden Globes.

Barbie is taking on Oppenheimer to see which one of them will bag the most gold!

It's like Groundhog's Day but with awards...

The Globes are notorious for a party like atmosphere, so even if you could give a F#ck about who wins, there is usually much levity to be had.

Enjoy if you intend to watch, or not if don't intend to.

Sunday, bloody Sunday...indeed!

For your convenience here is a list of the Nominations -

Just Because...Jacob Elordi

Oh Lordi!
Jacob Elordi

Just Because he looks delicious lounging in his swim trunks sucking a popsicle I bring you Aussie Hunk Jacob Elordi.

Jacob's first big break was portraying Nate Jacobs on the hit HBO show Euphoria. Since then his star has continued to rise and rise.

Appearing in many movies, his current has been much discussed for the various elements in it. Namely something regarding left over bath water in a tub where Elordi's character Felix Catton just bathed.

There's even a candle on the market in honor of the scene called: Jacob Elordi's Bathwater. Honestly I would have drank it too.

So let's toast to that!!!

Kinetic: Kink

Centaur Motorcycle Club’s Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend is an annual festival weekend that attracts thousands of leather men, kinksters, fetish-lovers and curious spectators from all over the world to Washington, D.C. over MLK weekend.  The event is an opportunity for the leather and fetish communities to showcase their craft in a safe environment designed to provide an immersive experience.  It also provides critical support to the LGBTQIA+ community, raising over $150,000 this past year for local non-profit organizations.

This year’s festivities begin Thursday, January 11th and run through Monday, January 15th.  Once again, the KINETIC Presents team of local DC party producers - Zach Renovátes, Dougie Meyer, and Jesus Quispe (Q) - have partnered with Centaur M.C. to produce KINETIC: KINK, four official events headlined by seven of the world’s leading festival DJs.   Bootcamp, UNCUT XL, discoVERS XL and the weekend’s main event, KINETIC: KINK, will take place at various venues throughout Washington, D.C.  Tickets for all KINETIC: KINK events are available now at KineticPresents.com.

“This year’s KINETIC: KINK will be the largest main event in MAL history,” Zach Renovátes says. “Thousands of men from around the globe will be descending into the nation’s capital this MLK weekend, experiencing an all-new state-of-the-art production and headline performance by the incomparable drag artist, Katya.”

On Thursday January 11th, VIP pass-holders are invited to report for basic training at BOOTCAMP, the weekend’s opening party taking place at BUNKER (2001 14th St NW).  Partygoers are encouraged to arrive in military gear.   DJ Joshua Ruiz will man the decks from 10pm to 3am, whipping the recruits into shape.

 

The weekend’s debauchery continues on Friday with men cruising the labyrinth of extended play zones at UNCUT XL.  DJs Onyx and GSP will commandeer all three massive rooms at REPUBLIQ Nightclub (2122 24th Pl NE), providing pulsating beats from 10pm until 4am.

It all leads to the monumental main event, KINETIC: KINK, taking place Saturday, January 13th from 10pm to 4am at the multilevel mega-club, Echostage (2135 Queens Chapel Rd NE).  Superstar DJ’s Abel and Alex Acosta will headline, and the event features a special performance by RuPaul’s Drag Race Superstar, Katya.  Revelers are encouraged to show off their best fetish gear for the main event which features live kink acts and unrestrained performances designed to force partygoers into submission. 

The weekend’s grand finale takes place Sunday night, at discoVERS XL.  KINETIC Presents is proud to partner with Centaur M.C. Mid-Atlantic Leather to once again produce the epic weekend’s official closing party. DJs Dan Slater and Alexis Tucci will spin jubilant disco and house music from 10pm to 4am at Zebbie’s Garden (1223 Connecticut Ave NW).  A special performance by Boomer Banks and other surprise acts will be seamlessly integrated into the high-energy sounds throughout the night.

The KINETIC: KINK main event is 18+, and all other events are 21+.  KINETIC: KINK VIP Weekend Passes include express entry into all four KINETIC: KINK events, as well as dedicated VIP area access and VIP-designated bars and bathrooms at select venues.

Michael's Musings

Silencio or Vito???
Michael Shinafelt

OK, so I'm back from the other dimension known as the Holiday Season and as promised full columns are now the rage again. 

While I'm not going to say 2024 is my year, or new year, new me. I do know I have been getting progressively bolder with the passing of time. So you have that to look forward to from me. Hence the experimental selfie portrait above. I was told it's very Sopranos, I was thinking it was more along the lines of something from a David Lynch film, thoughts? 

Raise your glasses and gird your loins let the musings commence!

Never the less they persisted, and found out I assume...

Don't you hate it when people compare Freddie Mercury to God? I mean God is great, but he's no Freddie Mercury

Remember you are the author of your next chapter, the more you know

She was laying in wait to make this conversation all about herself like a narcissistic velociraptor, you know who you are

Isn't Shampoo an odd word???

New Year, new me is easy to achieve if you have an alter ego, just saying...

There once was a Salty Seamen, that's all

#whoremembers If you first read this as "whore members" were probably already friends (or should be)

Woman Crush of the Week - Natalie Portman for her knock out performance in May December!!!

Mariah Carey has thankfully gone into hibernation for another year

That time at yoga when a preying mantis joined me on my mat. "No" I'm not joking

What happens around the cauldron stays around the cauldron

Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go

My thug name is Vito, find out where I'm headed here -

Hump Day & Chill

Daryl Hannah 
as
Elle Driver

" I might never have liked you. Point of fact, I despise you. But that doesn't suggest I don't respect you. Dying in our sleep is a luxury our kind is rarely afforded. My gift to you." - Elle Driver, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 

It's the first Hump Day & Chill of 2024 and it's totally different head (meaning edgier than the usual fare, but not without entertainment value.) 

For all you Daryl Hannah fans out there I bestow on you one of her best performances as the merciless Elle Driver in Kill Bill: Vo. 1! Yay!!!

This role was a departure for Ms. Hannah and nothing prepared you prior for her putting the Chill in Hump Day like she did in this off the hook Quentin Tarantino film.

If you haven't seen KBV1 simply read the quote from Daryl's character Elle at the top of this here post. You'll get a quite vivid picture of what she's all about...pure evil!

So evil in face her code name in the film is Mountain Snake.

Let's make like a Mountain Snake and Hump Day & Chill...do it and do it now!!!
