Hump Day & Chill

Queen Kylie

It's mid-week and time for a little Tension relief, thus what better way to Hump Day & Chill than to have a martini with the Queen of Tension, Kylie Minogue!

Ms. Minogue is after all the highest selling Australian female artist of all time. Her singing career is 36 years young. "Yes" Minions Kylie has been churning out hit singles for that many years and then some.

Nothing like holding court with a Queen is there? I thought not.

Her current hit album is titled Tension, in case you didn't know. Thus my Tension references right out of the box. 

It's time now, grab yourself a martini (gin or vodka) and join Kylie in a Tension free Hump Day & Chill toast. We've made it to the middle and you've earned it!

The Cat and the Canary

Paul Leni directs one of the most influential films in the early history of genre cinema, which set the stage for the 1930s Universal horror cycle

Based upon the 1922 stage production by John Willard, The Cat and the Canary is a perfect blend of horror and black comedy and stands at the apex of a cycle of films adapted from mystery plays throughout the 1920s. It later inspired James Whale's The Old Dark House and has been remade several times - but never bettered.

About Last Night...

Went to the Precinct DTLA to support my buddy Rob while he Go Go danced on a box. This meme sums the evening up for yours truly.

Now how did I manage to get home?!

PS Not everything happens for a reason, sometimes it happens for fun!!!

Sunday Funday

Lazy Sunday
l-r
Me, Joe Waters & Rua

Last Sunday I was visiting my sister and her husband in my home state of WA. She caught this pseudo candid shot of us on the couch with their dog Rua (pseudo candid shot meaning we didn't know she was going to take it, but looked up when we saw the camera.) 

Hence Sunday Funday! Indeed it was, seriously what's better than drinking beer, laying on the couch and chilling with the TV on?! I ask you? Nothing I say!!!

Honestly I don't recall what we were watching, which means I wasn't interested and was on my phone LOL! But really it was all about hanging out, enjoying each other's company and relaxing.

Everyday should be like Sunday Funday!

Current Mood

Pamela Anderson & Her Gnome

This photo that I spotted on Pamela Anderson's Instagram spoke to me immediately, not sure exactly why, yet it did. 

Something about Pam and a gnome in the woods captured my Current Mood which at present is whimsical. 

I've been feeling the world of possibilites has opened up of late. There's a freshness in the energy that surrounds things that make them seem new again. When you see things through a different lens it's truly amazing how much more depth of perspective you have on it.

Thus Ms. Anderson and her magical gnome really struck where I am right here, right now.

Embrace change, it's what's life is about!

The Queerties

 Queerty Announces Nominees for 

The 12^th Annual Queerties Award Show 
Celebrating the Best in LGBTQ+ Entertainment and Pop Culture

Queerty, the LGBTQ+ entertainment news site, is announcing its nominees for the 12th anniversary Queerties awards, taking place March 12^th in Los Angeles.  The Queerties is a celebration of entertainment and pop culture moments that defined the past year in the LGBTQ+ community. It is designed to uplift and spotlight LGBTQ+ creators, tastemakers, and storytellers who are not often recognized at other award shows. 

“The Queerties gives voice to the LGBTQ+ community,” Scott Gatz of Q.Digital, the parent company of Queerty, explains.    “It is the pop culture awards show where queer people honor the best of the best by voting for the talent and creatives they feel will have the most lasting impact on the next generation of queer youth.”   

 

Nominees for The Queerties were selected by the editors at Queerty.  Winners will be voted on by Queerty readers from now through February 22nd.  Categories range from the “Badass” award, honoring the year’s top LGBTQ+ newsmakers, to “Coming Out for Good”, an award recognizing brave notables who shook up mainstream America with their coming out stories, and awards for excellence in music, TV, cinema and more.  

 

Nominees for this year’s “Badass” include gender fluid actor Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones and The Last of Us) and Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who and Sex Education). Hunter Schafer (Euphoria) and Filipino-American beauty influencer and social media personality Bretman Rock are among those vying for the coveted “Style Icon” award.   Joe Locke (Heartstopper), Karan Brar, and Wayne Brady are some of the stars being heralded for officially and unapologetically coming out this year as LGBTQ+.

 

In the performance categories, Colman Domingo (Rustin), Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers) and Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) are among those competing in “Film Performance” while Kit Connor (Heartstopper), Matt Bomer (Fellow Travelers) and Miss Benny (Glamorous) battle it out in the TV category.  Ice Spice, Victoria Monét, and Reneé Rapp are among the divas squaring off to be named the year’s “Breakout Musical Artist”.

 

And what is a queer award show without at least a little drama?  The 12th anniversary Queerties will award the “Best Feud” prize to the most legendary rivalry of all time.  Nominees include Joan Crawford vs. Bette Davis, Mariah Carey vs. Jennifer Lopez, and Kim Cattrall vs. Sarah Jessica Parker.

Michael's Musings

Justify This!
Michael Shinafelt

I don't know about you but I'm feeling yummy today. I just returned from some much needed R&R and closure, and as they say my batteries have been recharged. I am now officially ready to forge a new path for myself. 

This also means that I have a new motto, the bottom line as it were. Like it states above "Justify This!" What's the motto? F#ck around and find out...that's all. Time to justify some more random things...

It's like she's in this giant condom, discuss...

One thing I am for sure doing in 2024 is letting go of my old grudges in order to make room for newer, stronger grudges

Small circle, Private life, Peaceful mind

FYI Even cowgirls have unmanageable diarrhea

Always remember Minions you are too fabulous to fit in!

So the actor playing Ken in Barbie gets an Oscar nomination and the actress who plays the title character does not. Make it make sense, oh wait it does...Misogyny is still alive and well

Finally got around to seeing Cocaine Bear - it blew, literally and figuratively 

In other news Horton Hires A Whore, the more you know...

Woman Crush of the Week - congratulations to Annette Benning on her much deserved 5th Oscar nomination for Nyad. Perhaps the 5th time will be the charm???

I won't let you leave until you've tried my tart

Clubs are extremely overrated. I'd rather be at home baking cookies and sucking d!ck!!!

Loving Crystal 2.0 on RHOBH, I suspect this has always been who she is, she's simply kept it hidden until now

Went putt putt golfing for the first time in forever this past week. I sunk the ball in 2 strokes on most of the greens, and the couple of other greens that were left 3 strokes, I'm King of the World!

Creating magic this week, oh yes I am

Join me in casting a spell here -
