Friday Feeling

If Unbothered Was A Person
Crystal Kung Minkoff

This amazing still of Crystal Kung Minkoff from this past Wednesday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is all you need heading into the weekend. It is giving me all the Friday Feeling I need.

Crystal is now my Queen of Shade, because nobody throws it better than she. 

While I am not going into mass detail here is an overview of the situation that brought us a look for the ages. 

Insane Sutton and even keeled Crystal have been going at it basically, and finally Crystal has had enough of Sutton's BS and takes her down a peg. Then Sutton starts crying this is the look she gives her: Unbothered by Crystal Kung Minkoff.

Now before you go thinking Crystal is some kind of mean girl, think again. Sutton is a certified loon and it doesn't take much to push her into the bin.

Seriously, Sutton had it coming and Crystal was the one to give it to her.

T.G.I.F!

Michael's Musings

I Came In With The Breeze, Like Thursday Morning
Michael Shinafelt

Another July 4th come and gone. This one was special as it was the first time many of us got together in a mass gathering since, well, you know. Did I celebrate America you ask? No, I did not. But I did celebrate my friend Julie turning the big 6-0. While her Birthday is actually on the first the 4th seemed like the perfect time to gather friends and family...and gather we did! Werd to your mother.

FYI Tacos are self care

Glory Holes are effective against variants...the more you know

Dear People who use speaker phone in public...who are you and why?!?!

Love & Marriage

The Sweet Escape
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

"Summer loving had me a blast, Summer loving happened so fast, I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be" - Summer Nights, Grease

Remember the time when we all thought (well a majority of us did) that the Gwen Stefani/Blake Shelton romance was a PR stunt for The Voice? 

Cut to July 3rd 2021, "Yes" Minions they got married after six years together = 5 years of dating and close to a 1 year engagement. The two tied the knot on July 3rd 2021 in Oklahoma on Blake's ranch.

I hear he built a chapel for Gwen on the grounds for the ceremony. Can I get an Awwwwww? Of course I can.

With all the fracas going on in the world I thought a sweet escape with these two lovebirds would make it nice today.

This wedding photo is "So Fetch!"

Ha! Gretchen Wieners, I just made "Fetch" happen!

John Tejada & Ulrich Krieger Team Up on New EP Release

Silversonic

With Remixes by Josh Wink

Out on Palette Recordings

July 16, 2021

Palette Recordings, now in its 25th year, presents a new collaboration between electronic music artist/DJ/producer John Tejada and composer/saxophonist Ulrich Krieger. The duo’s first release, Silversonic, is a four-track EP with three dancefloor-friendly tracks—including two remixes by Josh Wink—and one beatless track, all showcasing Krieger’s woodwind prowess. The original version, a techno track that charts a journey from epic, melodic swells to pummeling hi-hats, is a blend of Tejada’s master electronic production and Krieger’s unique performance on his tenor and baritone saxophones, and contrabass clarinet. It features Krieger’s signature blend of microphonics, a specialized playing style involving microphones and feedback that he is known for. Check out an excerpt here. Find the pre-save links here.

Celebrate Independence Day!

Lady Liberty
Mae West

As everyone breathing knows today is the 4th of July, Independence Day as it were. So what better way to celebrate than with one of the original independent women Mae West dressed as a patriotic Statue of Liberty circa 1970! Yay!

I'm sure there are those of you out there seeing this and thinking "Who is Mae West?" Well that is too much to go into, but let's just say if it weren't for her there would be no Madonna.

What's that you ask? How do I know this? Well I have provided you with the Wikipedia link below to discover that for yourselves.

Now zip it and Happy 4th of July Minions!!!

Saturday Sinema: The Poseidon Adventure

"There's got to be a morning after, if we can hold on through the night" - The Morning After, The Poseidon Adventure 

This Holiday weekend why not treat yourself to the classic that started the disaster film genre The Poseidon Adventure.

Accept no imitations, this is the real deal Minions, the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards. I attended the 40th Anniversary Screening of it at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood where I met one of the stars Pamela Sue Martin who was also the original Fallon on Dynasty. Yeah, that evening was a blast!

Moving on I will you leave you in the expert hands of  my buddy Jay Jacobson and his classic movie blog.

You're welcome...
