Icon

Diane Keaton

We lost one of the greats yesterday the iconic, not to mention legendary Diane Keaton. She was truly one of a kind. 

I specifically recall that I first became aware of her when she won the Academy Award for Woody Allen's Annie Hall. 

Keaton throughout her life and career was always her authentic self. This is what she will always be remembered for most.

Rest In Power

"I'm coming out

I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I am coming out" - I'm Coming Out, Diana Ross 

In Pride!!!

There Is Nothing Like A Dame

At 80 years young Dame Helen Mirren has lived, and knows of what she speaks.

Trust her words they are the wisdom we all wished we had in our younger years.

There is nothing like a dame after all...

TGIF! Bend it like Dame Helen Mirren, that's all.

Michael's Musings

Can't You See, You Belong To Me?
Michael Shinafelt

"Every breath you take

And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you"  - Every Breath You Take, The Police

What if we kissed and all my teeth fell into your mouth? Discuss...

Been binging Riverdale on Netflix. Never saw it when it first came out, on season three currently enjoying it so far

Only fragile egos fear equality, the more you know

Do you ever think about how may vampires have been run over by people who backup just using their mirrors?

To those who want "All English" for the Superbowl Half Time Show, let's have Robert De Niro do a dramatic reading of the Epstein Files

Pour yourself a drink and pull yourself together, it's going to be a bumpy night

Went and saw Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another at Quentin Tarantino's Vista Theater in Hollywood, in Vista Vision. I love PT Anderson's films and this one is no exception!

Who else is experiencing life presently at several WTF's per hour?! 

Woman Crush of the Week - Since I have been binging Riverdale Lili Reinhart who is perfection as Betty Cooper in it

I identify as trouble, my pronouns are who/me?

So if mediums can communicate with the dead, I wonder what a large could do???

I can't wait for my recovery process post foot surgery to cross the finish line

Pretend you are erasing the evidence of a murder while cleaning the bathroom. You'll do a better job and it actually becomes fun, that's all

Today's activity: sit on the couch with my foot elevated and stream

In case you were wondering here is what is in a Fort Worth at HomeState -

"chicken (lil' spicy), bacon, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo, lettuce, tomatillo ranch"

Sounds yummy, and it is!

Legendary

What Becomes A Legend Most?
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue

"I’ve been @nickcaveofficial ‘s Wild Rose for 30 years. I’ll be @nickcaveofficial ‘s Wild Rose forever.🌹❤️ Thank you Nick ❤️❤️❤️" - Kylie Minogue

"Yes" It's been 30 years since Kylie Minogue became Nick Cave's "Wild Rose"

For those of you not in the loop the duo made a haunting ballad together called Where The Wild Roses Grow for Nick's brilliant album Murder Ballads.

This is one of my favorite collaborations ever! Check out the lyrics -

"On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die."
And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day" 

Get the idea? Check out Kylie's version of Ophelia and watch the video after the jump!
