Monday Motivation

I agree with this quote from Boy George 100% thus it is today's Monday Motivation. The beauty of what he says is that you can apply it to other things as well by simply changing the word "sexuality" out for other things such as "Good Person." 

Of course the lead in would need some adjustments as well so then it would read: "If you're so secure with yourself you don't need to say you're a good person" and so on...

See? It's applicable to all forms of narcissistic behavior...

Your Monday Motivation assignment is to insert the "thing" in your life into Boy George's quote. It will cathartic, not to mention fun!!!

Sally Forth Minions!

Hump Day & Chill

One From The Heart

Dreams and fantasies are an integral part of our lives. Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to this image of Nastassja Kinski and Frederic Forrest in Francis Ford Coppola's One From The Heart.

Coppola took real life issues amongst couples and set them against a Las Vegas fantasy back drop. The film was a critical and box office failure upon it's release. It was quite ambitious and sought a new way of telling people's stories.

As the years have gone by One From The Heart has gotten re-evaluated and is now well regarded.

Honestly I loved how the emotionally raw performances were juxtaposed with fantasy it is beautiful and brilliant IMHO.

So I hereby decree we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the fantasy and beauty of Ms. Kinski as a billboard come to life. 

Free your mind Minions!

100% That Bitch

100%
Lizzo

Here's Lizzo leaving the Bravo studios in NYC. Every time I see her I always think of the "100% That Bitch" from her song Truth Hurts.

While I've never taken a DNA test for it, I did hit the online promotion that calculated how much of a bitch I was and indeed I got 100%!

No real surprise, actually I'm quite proud of the fact. 

So heading into the weekend get in touch with your inner bitch Minions. Lizzo and myself demand it. 

But know this, me and Lizzo will out bitch all of you any day...100%

T.G.I.F!

Every Dog Must Have His Day

Jon Hamm & Cora

Hello Minions can you guess what today is? Why it's National Rescue Dog Day...Arf!

With us today to help commemorate it  are Jon Hamm and his rescue dog Cora. Hmmmmm...with all the celebrities to choose from I wonder why I went with Jon Hamm? I'm sure you have a pretty good idea, let's face it you know why!!!

Here are the top reasons to adopt a Rescue Dog:

While there are probably hundreds of reasons to rescue a dog, here are my top reasons to adopt a rescue dog.

• You will be saving a life. ...
• You can help in the fight against puppy mills and irresponsible breeders. ...
• Time to find the right match for you. ...
• It's cost-effective. ...
• Because they might just save you.

Trim Your Bush(es)

We've Got Big Bushes And We Can Not Lie

Well Minions today is the day to get out there and trim your bush(es) - "Yes" it's World Naked Gardening Day.

Here to celebrate with us are various types of naked men and their bushes that desperately are in need of a trim.

Won't you shed your clothes and join them in the garden? Too shy well then suite yourself, you'll have to trim your bush alone.

But, if you want to give it whirl and make it a group effort well...

Shed your inhibitions at the gate!

Were Off To See...

They're Off To See The Wizard,
What's Your Destination???

Heading into this week I am dwelling in possibility, I feel there are many opportunities that are heading my way. "Yes" I am in a good place much like Dorothy & Company approaching the Emerald City, I am feeling good vibes only.

Imagine you are walking towards the gates of your own Emerald City today. Sure that sounds a tad silly perhaps, but think about what a herculean task this gang took on and the chutzpah it took for them to "Just Do It."

Now click your heels together three times and say "Yes, I can" and get out there and take this week on. I believe in you, like I believe monkeys can fly somewhere over the rainbow...

Soar Minions, soar!!!

WCM

The Woman In Red
Megan Fox 

Yes, I know it's usually WCW and MCM, but I felt like changing things up a bit. It's my Monday and I'll do what I want to Minions...so there!

Hey, if this shot of Megan Fox leaving a photo shoot in Los Angeles looking stunning in red does no make you want to WCM then I don't know what would, or will.

Thus it's Monday Minions (say that three times fast) let's let Ms. Fox lead the charge of the beginning of a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious week.

On your marks get set, "Yes" you're seeing red, woot!

Hump Day & Chill

ZatBoofVGer

Today I am feeling a little silly, thus the object of our Hump Day & Chill affection not only bares it all, but makes some bad ass facial expressions whilst doing so.

Minions I present to you ZatBoofVGer that's what he goes by, don't wear it out! He comes to use straight outta Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things.

While the images of Zat are comical, he also possesses a certain off beat sex appeal that will lure some of you in and others not so much. Hey not everyone can be pleased all the time and you know the saying "different strokes for different folks" Yeah, there's that.

So let's Hump Day & Chill and play a little snakes and ladders with Zat at the link below. One guess as to what the "snake" is...

It's National Ice Cream Day...Hurray!

Lick It Up!
Mia Farrow

While hitting the WWW this ayem it revealed to me that today, Sunday July 18th 2021 is indeed National Ice Cream Day!

Since the Nation's weather is hot, hot, hot I just knew I had to commemorate it right here, right now...

Thus I present one vintage shot of Actress Mia Farrow taking her ice cream cone from behind and looking mighty sultry while engaging in the activity.

Not sure what she was thinking when this photo was shot, but it looks like something, well, naughty quite frankly.

Hey, who says ice cream is only a family treat?! Not this guy! Time to get out there and lick it up Minions!!!

I Love A Man In Uniform

Are You Going To Arrest Me Officer?
Harry Styles

"The girls they love to see you shoot, I love a man in uniform" I Love A Man In Uniform, Gang of Four 

Look it's fashion daredevil Harry Styles dressed up for a night out as a Policeman...NOT! While I wouldn't ever put it past Harry to wear a Police uniform as a fashion statement it turns out he is actually playing one of the men in blue for the upcoming film My Policeman. 

"As If" his fans don't swoon over Styles enough now they get to see him in a uniform, and we all know that kicks it up many notches on the hotness meter.

No word on the size of Harry's bill club as of yet...

Time to hit it running with your pants on the ground Minions!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Hi, I'm Brandon...

Let us Hump Day & Chill by playing doctor with a student body, shall we Minions? I believe we shall.

His name is Brandon, he's a pre-med student who just so happened to appear in the pages of Playgirl Spring 2011. Hey, you gotta pay those school bills somehow, and "Yes" Brandon works hard for the money $$$.

Brandon has been boning up for his anatomy class, care to lend a helping hand? 

Well now you know what to do, let your fingers feel your way over to Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things to help Brandon out.

His anatomy test is tomorrow so post haste, time is of the essence to Hump Day & Chill...!!!

Walking The Pooch

Man's Best Friend
Jon Hamm

While I am fully aware that "Walking The Pooch" is a euphemism that  means....well look it up. In this case it is a literal thing, and for that my wandering eyes are quite grateful. Especially since it takes on the form of one Jon Hamm.

"Yes" Minions it's Jon Hamm letting his dog out for a walk in Los Angeles and what a sight to behold it is! Especially since he's doing it in shorts that show off his great legs. 

However one thing seems to have changed, does Mr. Hamm no longer freeball? Now don't tell me none of you remember the notorious "Hamm" in Jon's sweatpants photos of him going sans underwear. That sight was real and spectacular and from the looks of it he does not seem to have released the Kraken, or maybe the camera angle hides it.

Bummer!!!

Vote Damn It!

Got Vote?
Winnie Harlow

As we are in the last few remaining days of September I thought to myself "Yes let's push an agenda" and my self concurred.

What's my agenda? Ummmmmm, in case you really can't figure it out, it is to get as many of you off of your collective asses and get out there and vote. If you are not a registered voter, do it and do it now! The process is quite easy and only takes a smidgen of your time.

Here to help motivate and remind you is model Winnie Harlow with a shirt that says it three times: Vote - say it three times and it will happen, oh yes it will.

Thus go fourth and be like Winne and Myself and Vote Minions!

Hump Day & Chill

                                                                Join Him?

                                                            Hugh Jackman

I don't know about you but I really need a break from the world, and what better way to Hump Day & Chill than with some eye candy and wine, fer sure!!!

Thus we have Hugh Jackman imbibing in one of his favorite wines of the white variety. Mr. Jackman is a wine lover who is more about the brand than the type of grape he is consuming.

So here is the 411 on Hugh's favorite winery, it is, drum roll please....Hill of Grace Vineyards in Australia. No real surprise there since he is Australian, it stands to reason his favorite vineyard is there.

So let's follow Hugh's lead and Hump Day & Chill with some wine from our favorite vineyard, or in my case Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's. 

What's that? You want to bend it like Jackman? Well as luck would have it you don't have to be in Australia to lubricate with Hill of Grace, like everything else, you can visit them and order from them online.

Get to it Minions, I command you to Hump Day & Chill to you can't anymore!

Michael's Musings

TBT: Memories Of The Way Gold's Gym Was
Michael Shinafelt

This week I hit the gym for the first time since March when it closed. It actually re-opened in the middle of June, I gave it a bit to see how it went. It seems to be going fine, we now have to wear masks & gloves. They also provide you with a spray bottle and towel to wipe down the equipment before and after you use it.

Anyway my arms are really Effing sore, here we go Minions!

That time when someone points out to you that the Oompa Loompas in Willy Wonka are actually cannibals 😮

Never trust a woman running barefoot on concrete 

Goth Corn is called: Corn on the Macabre, the more you know

I am extremely disappointed that Halloween Kills has been postponed until Halloween of next year. But do check out the teaser that was just released, it's terrific!

Steak at a strip club? Or listening to boring Teddi Mellencamp? I thought so...

Constipation is all around us

Hey, whatever doesn't kill me, I'm strong enough now. Thanks.

Travel all roads, leave not one question unasked, never stop searching

Woman Crush of the Week - Morgan Fairchild (if you don't know who she is Google her) for her Twitter feed. It's political without being angry.

Don't ignore the signs you asked for

BTW you can think something without Tweeting it

Dylan McDermott, that's all

Mary Trump's tell all about her uncle just came out. She is a clinical psychiatrist and says he is a sociopath. Ya think???

How does it feel to want? Please do tell

Current Mood

Moody
Lady Gaga

So even though there was a ban on fireworks in Los Angeles County yesterday, plenty of them were illegally ignited. Luckily no major fires were started and no one (that I've heard of) was injured. 

I actually just heard one go off as I am sitting here at my keyboard clacking away. Thus this brings me to my Current Mood.

This image of  Lady Gaga sums it up perfectly. My mood is indescribable and sort of on edge much like this Pippi Longstocking  meets Orphan look that Gaga is sporting.

You know Orphan as in the horror movie Orphan and if you don't know Pippi Longstocking Google that, OK?

Thus I think I will sit with this feeling and make it work. Time to 5th of July Minions!

The Masked Couple

Who's This Couple???

One of the great things about having to wear a mask is that it makes one harder to recognize. Especially if you happen to be famous. So let's kick off the week with a guessing game, that's correct Minions it's time to play The Masked Couple where you guess, with a clue who are the celebrities under those face coverings.

Here are the clues, he comes in handy when you need something rapped, she is such a liar. Any idea who these two are yet? One last clue they are both creeps. 

Alright if you guessed G-Eazy & Ashley Benson you guessed right! He being a rapper, she having starred in Pretty Little Liars and they collaborated on a cover of Creep by Radiohead. See that's how those clues fit together 😉

So let's get this Monday started and don't forget to wear your mask for yourself and others!
