Is He, Or Isn't He?

Alexander Skarsgard

There seems to be a some question as to whether Alexander Skarsgard recently came out as Bi-Sexual while promoting his gay love story Pillion to Variety.

Here's what he said:

“I mean, I do have a kid, but what I’ve done in the past, who I’ve been with, men, women … To me, what was important was that this felt like an opportunity to tell a story about a subculture I hadn’t seen portrayed this way – with so much authenticity.”

OK, I don't know about you, but there is no ambiguity in his statement. This is an outright admission, got it?

In the film Skarsgard's character Ray takes on a dominant/submissive relationship with a shy young gay man, Colin (Harry Melling), and ushers him into the world of kink.

"The Life Of A Showgirl"

Today is officially a celebration of Taylor Swift! In case you have been living in your own Private Idaho her 12th studio album The Life Of A Showgirl has dropped Minions.

I have always admired and liked Ms. Swift on a personal level. While I have liked a few of her songs I've never really gotten too excited over her music. 

Well that changed while I waited with much anticipation for her rift on the George Michael classic Father Figure.

The wait is over!!! I have heard it and from my perspective it's fantastic! 

However I did not have lyrics, like the ones excerpted from it above, on my bingo card coming straight outta one Ms. Taylor Swift. 

Call it her victory lap, or whatever you like, I love it!

PS Happy Mean Girls Day!

Michael's Musings

"Imitating Angels"
Michael Shinafelt

"Sail a sad ship across the sea out to the edge of this world

And I ain't coming back cause I didn't leave nothin' behind
All the old crowd still hangs out imitating angels
But I ain't found a halo here no matter how I tried
And I tried" - Imitating Angels, Nymphs 

October is my favorite month of the year!!!

Woke up feeling c#ntish, might give away a few free samples of my attitude today, or not

Listen up generals, the Pillsbury Dough President wants you to do Pilates. Otherwise you might get so fat you'll start breaking escalators

I'll make it weird. I'll make it weird as F#ck, that's all

Nevermore

Michael Shinafelt 
&
Friends

Hello to my favorite month October...

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—

Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,

    Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—

    On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—

Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”

            Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe

Monday Motivation

Rick & Dick

What happens when Rick Springfield runs into Dick Van Dyke at the gym? Some major Monday Motivation, that's what!

Rick at 76, was quite in awe of the shape Dick is in at 99. Which lead Rick to state: "Thought I was doing well at 76"

Well Rick you are doing great at 76! Trust me I've seen him up close and personal in concert. PS I didn't mind.

As for Mr. Van Dyke, I want to live to be 99 only if I can be in the mental and physical shape he is.

I wonder if there is a portrait in Dick Van Dykes attic?

Monday Motivation indeed...
