Ring in 2020 Like a Dance Monkey




This catchy lil' ditty by Tones and I is EVERYTHING to me right now. It will probably be stuck in my head on repeat and could very easily last all decade. I also really, really love this video! It's so unsexy, uncool and unpretntious. Like a breath of fresh! The 2010's were about trying too hard to be liked & pretneding to be rich whilst in debt. Disposable fashion and the overbranding of everyone and everything became sickeningly ok. Influencers oversold their sexy in the cloud. DJ's, Pop tartlets, Rappers and the like throwing hunny dolla bills around made it rain way too much for my umbrella. In retrospect the 10's were a decade of excess. 2020 will be the exact opposite, I hope?!?! Where less is more and being happy doesn't mean over 100k likes or cost a gazilion dollars. Don't get me wrong we all need money to pay the bills, bills, bills,  but do we need to consume for the mere sake of consuming? Okay, I'm done preaching my gospel for the upcoming decade. Back to my erratically unschedule vapid programming.
Wishing you a perfect 2020 full of visions of love and happiness!
Lets dance 2020 in and remember that all the rest is gravy baby!

Beyoncรฉ Goes to the Laudromat


Beyoncรฉ took some time off to do some real people things like parachute to the laundromat, beauty parlor, and a grocery! She somehow got everyone to give her some space and let her hang out by herself for a day. Me time is so important. By the looks of these ensembles Solange may have styled her for this day out. Elle, me likey!

Mariah Carey is Number One 25 Years Later



Mariah Carey sings a little xmas ditty called All I Want for Christmas, You may have heard it. It's amazingly hit number 1 on the Billboard charts 25 holidays later.  I went through a major all I want for xmas phase a few years ago, ask my neighbors. All I got for xmas was xmas was a cease and desist. I'm sure I bumped her up a few thousand views on the Youtubes. Sparkle butterfly sparkle!

Taylor Swift Does 2020 British Vogue



In the January 2020 issue of @BritishVogue, the queen of pop @TaylorSwift meets the king of musical theatre, @AndrewLloydWebber, to discuss collaborating on their track “Beautiful Ghosts” for Webber’s soon-to-be-released adaptation of Cats. On the first cover of a new decade, Taylor wears archive @ChanelOfficial from the Mรฉtiers d’art Paris-New York 2005/2006 collection. I wanted to put vintage on the cover of Vogue because we all have to do what we can to contribute to the conversation around sustainability. Buying better and buying less is what I believe in. Welcome to the ’20s! #TaylorSwift wears archive @ChanelOfficial. Photographed by @CraigMcDeanStudio and styled by @Edward_Enninful, with hair by @GuidoPalau, colourist @VictoriaHunter, make-up by @PatMcGrathReal, nails by @MegumiYamamotoNYC, and set design by @MaryHoward_SetDesign.

To be the face of a new decade is to be expected from Taylor Swift. She sure shook her little butt off in the 2010's!  Not sure what we will call the 10's but I'm ready to call the 2020's the roaring 20's, but you really don't get to name a decade til after it's done. Anyhoo, when did British Vogue get better than American Vogue?

Wednesday is Hunkday!


It's been a bit since I've posted a hunk. After a while they all start to look the same. Back in the day they used to be called physique models, now I call them muscle moneymakers. Jordan James fits that bill.

Lizzo and Macaulay Sitting in a Tree


In grade school when two different people are seen together everyone thinks they are K,I,S,S,I,N,G which is probably not the case with Lizoo and Macaulauy Culkin. One of my most favorite things is when people who you would never expect to be friends are friends. Kind of like when a cat befriends a baby duck or a crotchety elderly man raises a precocious child like Punky Brewster. It proves that we can all get along. Sometime the most unlikely duos can bring unity amongst us and make you feel good as hell!

HBD Catherine Deneuve



When I think of classy french ladies Catherine Deneuve effortlessy wafts to the top of my mental list like smoke from a Gaulousise cigarette. Madame Deneuve started her carreer working with avant garde directors Buรฑuel and Truffaut. Her role in the 80's film The Hunger forever emblazoned her as the chicest Vampire ever. HBD Mme Deneuve!

Taylor Swift Pefroms Lover on SNL




Taylor Swift sang us her song Lover and did a mighty fine job. Yes, I'm now a Swifty. So what you gonna do about it? I really love the word lover and prefer it over husband, boyfriend or seรฑorita. Lover just rolls off the tounge like the word lasagรฑa does. Oh yeah, streaming it girl, Phoebe Waller-Bridge hosted as well.

RIP Diahann Carroll




Diahann Carroll was the first blackai woman to have her own show, Julia, on television about a nurse in the 60's paving the way for entertainers to come. Later she most famuosly played Dominque Deveraux, Alexis Carringtons rival on Dynasty. The legend oozed grace & glamour & stood toe to toe with the best. RIP Gorgeous!

Hustlers Lived Up to the Hype



Skipped the debate last night & went to see Hustlers instead. Wise choice in retrospect. “This whole country is a strip club, they throw money at us & we keep dancing.” Jlo deserves the Oscar buzz. Constance Wu was the heart, Cardi b left you wanting more & Lizzo fluted it up. I also really like that Keke Palmer. FYI, I want a Swavroski Hunny clutch too!!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️๐Ÿ’ฏ ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ…

Ariana, Miley & Lana Oh My



Little did I know there was another Charlie's Angels until last night when I saw the preview at the Hustlers movie. Kstew looked like she was having fun in the preview. I had no clue who the other girls in the movie were, but I did recognize Parker Posey as Bosley. That was cute. Anyhoos, I digress this post is about the trifecta of songbirds singing a song about angels. I would have done it totally different, but who am I to judge. I hope this makes God happy. I think she's a woman.

Lady GaGa Gives us Beauty Face



I will admit that it took me a while to get used to Lady GaGa. We've had a one sided love hate relationship, in my head. It's like she snuck in my back door recently with her pretty new make up line HAUS LABORATORIES. Considering she's worn so much of it, I'm sure she could work a counter at Sephora real good. Get that Lil' Monsters monies honey!

Wednesday is Hunkday!



Never Limit Yourself. Growing up I was always told and shown that chasing a dream was impossible. That you should stick to getting a normal job and living a normal life. Now there is nothing wrong with that, but when I tried to get a normal job. Even then I wouldn’t get hired. If only you could see the list of places that turned me down. One day, it clicked. That I can clearly fail at leading a “normal” life so I might as well chase my dreams. It’s been difficult. Challenging. Even Terrifying at times. But it’s also been more rewarding and fulfilling than I can describe with words. This journey has introduced me to people and places I could have only dreamed of. Friendships I could only have imagined. I’ve wanted to make movies and be on tv since I could walk. And I’ve done that. But I’m just getting started. It’s like anything in life, what you put in.. you get out. Much like my body, coming from a skinny insecure kid. To building the man you see before you, brick by brick. Anything is possible. All you have to do is imagine it. Believe in it and yourself, more than anyone else ever could.

Missy Elliott Gets the Lifetime VMA from Cardi B



Missy Elliott did what she do, she worked it, and of course it was worth it! She put that thing down, flipped it and then reversed it! As one does. Cardi B fan girled out her presenting to her. The love in the room for  Missy was palpable. 16 years later she is still relevant and needs to tour again!

RIP Isabel Toledo



Isabel Toledo and her devoted husband Ruben Toledo were the IT kids of fashion in the late 80's and 90's. Their style was modern and classic. They always made a woman look like a Lady. Including the First Lady Michelle Obama who wore a dress by Isabel for the inauguration. I saw them on a plane from Miami once and they exuded style and grace. The devotion and love they had for eachother was a rare jewel most marveled at. Their last show was at the Detroit Institute of Arts where their passion for fashion and art came together to cause wonder yet again. Rest in Power.
