Honey Don't Leave Me

Tender Misfit

"I'm just tryna touch you, 

Black hole, bright star

I can't help but love you" - Honey Don't Leave Me, Tender Misfit

Tender Misfit is on fire with her latest single and video for Honey Don't Leave Me. It's not hype it's 100% real and honest, objectively so. I say that because I have known Ariel since she was in the womb, and I couldn't be more proud of this commercial edgy pop song that she wrote as well as performs. (FYI Minions she a great lyricist)

To celebrate the songs release Tender Misfit is performing November 15th at Hotel Ziggy in West Hollywood at 7pm. If you live in the Los Angeles area try to make it. I guarantee it's going to be a great show! Also "Yes" I will be in attendance.

Enough with my incessant gushing, hit the totally bomb video for the song after the jump!!!

Monday Motivation

Here's Monday Motivation straight outta one Ms. Kim Kardashian. Whatever your opinion of her nobody, and I mean no one rains on this woman's parade, so there!

Clearly she believes what she says because look at where she is. 

A successful (very) businesswoman, Media Personality and Actress. "Yes" I said actress. While she has appeared in other things she IMHOP was the best thing, in an otherwise humdrum half season of American Horror Story: Delicate.

The woman knows of what she speaks, thus your Monday Motivation? Do what Kim K says and do it as much or more.

That's all...

Back In Time

Marty McFly & Doc Brown
Back to the Future

I still to this day do not understand why we set our clocks back and hour for the Fall/Winter season and honestly I loathe it! I wished we could stay put on Daylight Saving Time year round.

Yet, nonetheless the time has come to do so yet again (sigh) - So here are Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) to gently remind you of our journey into perpetual darkness tonight...that's correct Minions set those clocks back an hour at midnight.

Enjoy the ride???

Barbarella

"Roger Vadim's ultra-kitsch sci-fi classic somehow improves with age"

     —Dan Geary, Total Film

Slip out of your spacesuit and into something more comfortable! It's time to join Barbarella on a series of cosmic adventures in this Dino De Laurentiis production directed by Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman) and starring Jane Fonda as the intergalactic glamour puss created by comic book artist Jean-Claude Forest. It is the year 40,000AD. When evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) creates a deadly weapon with the potential to cause mass devastation, the President of Earth dispatches Barbarella (Fonda) to hunt him down. Crash-landing in an icy wilderness somewhere within the Tau Ceti planetary system, Barbarella is rescued by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi, La Cage Aux Folles) and guided by the blind angel Pygar (John Phillip Law, Danger: Diabolik) to Durand's lair in Sogo, a city of corruption and debauchery, where an encounter with the Great Tyrant Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg, Performance) and her minions throws her mission into jeopardy. With an all-star cast including David Hemmings and Marcel Marceau, and glorious retro-futuristic costumes and art design dripping with 60s psychedelia, Barbarella defined an era and has never looked better than this brand new 4K restoration, loaded with never-before-seen bonus features!

Michael's Musings

Saw this saying painted on the sidewalk on my way home from Alcove, where I had the most delicious tuna melt and truffle fries. Day of the Dead brunch if you will. So naturally I had to take a photo of such a provocative thought.

It got me thinking just what could "Art That Kills" mean. My interpretation is any artistic impulse that is repressed by fear of engaging with it. There you go Minions wisdom straight outta Los Angeles, here comes some more, or perhaps not...

A raisin can be in the sun, but it cannot be in the potato salad, the more you know

Meet me in the back. By the dumpster and the rats. Where we lean and things make sense.

The cat thinks you're a twat, that's all

"You're going to be happy said life...but first I'll make you strong" - Perfect!

Taylor Swift is the first artist to have 6 albums sell over a million copies in a single week, you go girl!

Spooky Season is over, but it always remains Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead in my soul

Did my usual Halloween tradition and watched, what else, the movie that started it all the original 1978 John Carpenter's Halloween! It doesn't scare me like it used to, but it's still great!

Pssst! Cady Heron is now a guidance counselor at North Shore High School, discuss

Woman Crush of the Week - It's Britney Bitch! Britney Spears for her memoir The Woman In Me, got it can't wait to read it!!! 

Caught the pilot for the original Charlie's Angels TV series. Here's some fun trivia Tommy Lee Jones guest starred in it pre-movie fame

Today's goal: defying gravity

FYI - Marigolds are often called "flowers of the dead" knowledge is power

Many people have the wrong idea about me. Honestly I have no desire to clear that sh!t up

Starting to monitor what I eat again today, need to shed some weight, ugh!

Here's where you can send me encouragement -

Hump Day & Chill

Always Remember...
Michael Shinafelt

Today is the Day of the Dead, so naturally we are going to commemorate it with a Hump Day & Chill.

Day of the Dead is to remember those who are no longer with us and to celebrate them and their contributions to our lives.

This photo is from last year's Day of the Dead celebration at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, hence the skulls in the background.

I did not attend this year, as it tends to be really crowded and I wasn't in the mood for such nonsense.

So let us Hump Day & Chill today by remembering those who are no longer with us.

Peace.
