EVENING NIGHTCAP: Hey SJP...What's Your Point? Satan's Workshop Is At It Again.

► During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, My Little Pony (Govt Name: Sarah Jessica Parker) said when she was a struggling actress in-between her gig on the 1983 TV show Square Pegs and the 4 movies she was cast in around that time, she had to learn to live "judiciously". SJP said that back in 1983 she only spent $40 every 3 days on herself. That is the equivalent of $132 in today's dollars (or $264 a week). Again, that's spending on herself. She didn't define what "spending on herself" included. During the interview she neighed, "There’s security in financial gain”. Well duh, no shit Sherlock.  Read More

Comment:  I don't know what the point was in her sharing that story on the podcast. Me thinks it was an attempt to be relatable to us plebs who are struggling to make ends meet in this shitty economy courtesy of the Felon in Chief and greedy companies. Or was she telling people to live within their means? Who the hell knows.  I don't spend $264 a week on frivolous stuff for myself.  Maybe $264 in an entire month but not every week. My paycheck goes to pay for essentials like keeping a roof over my head, utilities, groceries, and gas for my car. What I have left at the end of the month goes toward saving for an emergency and the occasional take-out of Lo Mein noodles with a side of spring rolls ($18.00) from my local Chinese restaurant. 

 

► Satan's Workshop (Govt Name: Crocs) is teaming up with Krispy Kreme to create a line of donut inspired shoes. Crocs are the Branson, Missouri of footwear.  According to a Satan spokeho with the company, the line has been under development for over a year. Wait a sec: it took them over a year to come up with this shit? Gimme a glue gun and I can do it in 5 minutes. Anyhoo, the limited edition hoofwear features the Krispy Kreme logo, the famous "Hot Donuts Now" sign, sprinkles, and a melted chocolate turd on a Croc painted in the color of a glazed donut. This fashion statement will set you back $90. They go on sale August 6. Read More

Comment: About 15 years ago Crocs found itself in financial trouble and circling the drain.  In a hail-Mary pass to save themselves, they started collaborating with other companies and groveling for celebrity endorsements. This caught the attention of Gen Z who made them cool again. Why couldn't Gen Z have made acid wash jeans or big hair cool again instead? Damn kids. Anyway, Satan's workshop started cranking out Crocs in even more hideous designs. There's Crocs Haribo, Crocs McDonald's, Crocs Duolingo, Crocs Busch Light Beer, Crocs Bad Bunny, Crocs Post Malone, Crocs SZA...you get the idea. They've taken product whoring to new levels. I have to tip my hat at their shameless no-fucks-given pursuit of capitalism. BTW, I'd like to see their CEO at a Coldplay concert wearing Krispy Kreme Crocs. Instant regret is what I predict would happen.

OPEN POST: Happy PSL Day!

  While many aren't ready to accept that the Summer season is winding down, I know I am itching for Fall's sweet arrival. So naturally I see Pumpkin Spice Day (aka the day Starbucks unleashes their pumpkin spice latte on the masses) as the unofficial start to the spooky season. Even though I no longer support Starbucks, I will be making my own pumpkin spice latte at home and savour the sweet smell of the impending season.  Are you excited to see your grocery stores overrun with all things Pumpkin Spice?  Source: Healthy Foodie Girl

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Marvelous Morgana King!

Greetings music vixens, and welcome to another edition of Music Manor Monday, today with a little Italiano flair, va bene ? Tonight, you can find out what this means by moseying on over to Pompino Club and Winery, where DJ Li'l Cat will be playing some tunes from a very special singing principessa . Quick, which jazz luminary also worked as a featured actress in "The Godfather" and "The Godfather II?" There's only one. If you guessed Morgana King, you're right! She played Carmela Corleone, the wife of Don Vito Corleone, or Marlon Brando, in both movies. Interesting side note: the character's first name is never mentioned in either movie, and because she's played by Morgana, she gets to sing a small bit from  "Luna Mezz'o Mare" during the wedding reception scene. The scrappy daughter of Sicilian immigrants, Morgana thrilled audiences from a young age. At 16 years old, she was embraced by New Orleans’ Black audiences at Bohemian Ca...

Wouldn't you know it'd be a dame?  It's always a dame.  I was sitting in my shabby little detective office on Sepulveda trying to figure out which creditor I could stave off when in walked trouble - trouble being a tall redhead with big knockers and a fanny you could eat lunch off of. She sat down, dimpled sweetly, and cooed, "I'm Lorna, and I have a problem only you can solve." I answered, "If you've got a problem I'm the dick ('40s slang for detective) for you." She relaxed and put her feet up: "Fatal Instinct," courtesy of MGM UA She told me, "I've got a plot of land in Brentwood and I don't know how best to maximize my profits on it." After taking a gander, I suggested, "Maybe the erection of a big skyscraper would be the best thing for your plot." That seemed to excite her. She said, "But my acreage has always been residential.  Would such a big erection be legal?" I replied, "Trus...
