Hump Day & Chill

Raise A Glass, Now Kiss My...
Angelina Jolie
Today I've got chills, they're multiplying...usually I have reserved today for a delicious side of man meat. But today I cam craving a different kind of "chill" the one belonging to the world of adult beverages. The martini to be exact.

"Yes" passing by landmark Hollywood restaurant Musso and Frank reminded me of days of yore when I spent time on the Blvd., Hollywood that is seeing movies almost every weekend at the Grauman's Chinese Theater and then sauntering down to M & F for a gin martini with two olives.

Gin was my jam, a vodka martini almost seemed like an amateur concoction and a two martini chill @ Musso's was a quadruple treat. That's correct minions when the bartender made them while you watched there was always an extra something more that he poured into a side decanter that made it equal two, thus two for one! Trust only a couple of rounds and my boots were made for more than walking.

So join moi and Ms. Angelina Jolie and raise a glass and "Chill" - because it's "Hump Day" after all...

For those about to rock, I salute you!

You've Got To Have Friends

Friendship
Luann de Lesseps & Lance Bass
After the tumultuous past couple of years - a quickie marriage/divorce, getting arrested for a DUI, assaulting a Police officer, entering rehab, relapsing and re-entering rehab and to top it all off being sued by her ex-husband and children, Luann de Lesseps of The Real Housewives of New York City has had quite the bumpy ride.

Lucky for her she's got friends, and lots of them as she takes to the stage in her cabaret show #CountessAndFriends - Look who dropped by while she was performing at The Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Why it's none other than NSYNC singer Lance Bass!

Honestly I kind of like Luann, mainly because she owns her mistakes. She does not blame everyone else for her problems. While her reactions to them may be less than ideal, we've all been there and done that. 

It's nice to see her having a good time and taking her act on the road. She, like all of us, deserves to have something on our lives that makes our soul happy.

Most importantly she has a great support system of, well, friends.

C'est la vie!

About Last Night...

Hey Ho, Let's Go...
Moi & Traci Lords

What happens at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, never stays at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. That's because they want the publicity darlins' - and no they are not whores.

Last night my good friend Traci Lords put me on her guest list to attend the Johnny Ramone Tribute screening of Barbarella. Thus I went, when your friends beckon you go - girl/guy! 

A fun time was had by all...here are my photo impressions of and about last night...
Any Questions?
WTF?!
V.I.P.
Enter, No Risk

Just Because...Janelle Monae

Express Yourself
Janelle Monae
Just Because this image gives me life, Just Because she's an amazing talent & Just Because she Janelle Monae Bitches. Janelle belting out her hits during a performance on NBC's Today Show at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC is all you need for any given Sunday.

While Janelle is primarily known as a powerhouse vocalist, it was her performance as Teresa in the film Moonlight that really got my attention. She was truly amazing!

Janelle is one of the rare talents who can, and does do it all and nails everything she commits to. She is so alive when she expresses herself through her art, her passion for what she does is joyous. 

So, it's Sunday and you have a choice (there's always a choice) - play it safe or bend it like Janelle.

Which will you choose, I bet you know what I chose...

Mic Drop!

Saturday Sinema: Goldstone


GOLDSTONE
From the director of Mystery Road, film noir meets 
Great American Western in the Outback

Available on September 11th via Lightyear Entertainment 

"Riveting. Goldstone is the next great Western. You don't wanna miss this one."

And now for something totally different head....

Lightyear Entertainment presents the Australian production Goldstone, a noir thriller set in the Outback. The film was written, directed, shot, edited and composed by Ivan Sen.

Indigenous Detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen, Mystery Road) arrives in the frontier town of Goldstone on a missing persons inquiry. What seems like a simple investigation opens a web of crime, corruption, trampling of indigenous people's land rights, and human trafficking. Jay must pull his life together and bury his differences with young local cop Josh (Alex Russell, SWAT), so together they can bring justice to Goldstone. 

Also starring 2-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom, Silver Linings Playbook) as the corrupt mayor, David Wenham (Lord of the Rings) as the greedy mine director, David Gulpilil (Crocodile Dundee) as the indigenous man who can't be bought, and Cheng Pei-Pei (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as the unscrupulous madam.

Goldstone was nominated for five Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards for Best Film, Best Direction, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing and Best Production Design.

Freaky Friday

I'd Like To Be You For A Day...
Sarah Jessica Parker

T.G.I.F! Friday is here and it's time for a a dose of Sex and the City realness, or maybe it's simply something out of the ordinary, ya know...freaky!

Honestly I don't know how she pulled this mismatch outfit off, butt it werks. Behold Sarah Jessica Parker in an ensemble that really has no right to even look good on the most fashion challenged person and yet, it really does.

Stripes, floral, yellow & pink - Oh my! On the streets of NYC no less, or more, or less. Whatever. Sex and the City indeed!!!

SJP has always been a fashion forward sort of lass, and she has always done it with class, without a big _____ fill in your blank people, I bequeath it to you.

Thus we head into the weekend with a dose of sex, the city and SJP Freaky Friday fashion (say that three times fast) Life is De Groovy!

Damn you McDonald's two for five!!!
