History In The Making!

Hello Lovies!

Today, Wednesday August 4th 2010, is the date history was made. Today, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker overturned California's ban on same-sex marriage, acknowledging that a violation of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians had occurred. He also ordered that Prop 8 be immediately lifted to allow same sex marriage while the case moves to a higher court.

Click here to read about the decision.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger released the following statement after the ruling.

“Judge Walker had the great responsibility of deciding whether Proposition 8 violates the Constitution of the United States. He heard in-depth arguments from both sides on fundamental questions of due process, equal protection and freedom from discrimination. There are strong feelings on both sides of this issue, and I am glad that all viewpoints were respected throughout the proceedings. We should also recognize that there will continue to be different points of view in the wake of this decision.

“For the hundreds of thousands of Californians in gay and lesbian households who are managing their day-to-day lives, this decision affirms the full legal protections and safeguards I believe everyone deserves. At the same time, it provides an opportunity for all Californians to consider our history of leading the way to the future, and our growing reputation of treating all people and their relationships with equal respect and dignity.

“Today's decision is by no means California's first milestone, nor our last, on America's road to equality and freedom for all people.”



Well said, Sir. Well said.

Make no mistake, today's decision is a HUGE victory, however, there is still a long fight to go in our quest for same sex marriage rights.

But today, lovies, is a happy day; I am so proud to be a supporter of the LGBT community and proud of what Judge Walker's decision means for my Gay and Lesbian friends and family.

We will be celebrating today's victory while preparing ourselves for the uphill battle to ensure that one day soon, THERE WILL BE EQUALITY FOR GAYS AND LESBIANS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.

Remember, as you celebrate today's landmark decision:

If you are going to drink, do NOT drive.
If you are going to drive, do NOT drink.

Love,

Nostalgia: Ricky Martin

Hello Lovies!

Today is the first installment in the series of Nostalgia posts. What are Nostalgia posts, you ask? They are what happens after you and your friends sit around talking and someone says, "Hey, remember...?" Then all of a sudden you're hurling down memory lane being pummeled with all sorts of good and bad memories as well as thoughts of 'what the fuck was I thinking when I wore that?' (Denim hat with the big ass sunflower on it a la Blossom, I'm looking at you!!! Whoa!).

Anyletstalkhotsexylatinmen, the subject of today's post is Ricky Martin. Let me first say that I am too young to know Menudo (liar) but my first vivid memory of Ricky Martin was when he performed The Cup Of Life at the 1999 Grammy Awards. Holy Fuck! That man was fuckhotsexy!

We were in my living room having our annual Grammy Viewing party and when we heard the horns and the drums started beating, we were like wha...salsa on the Grammys? Then cut to the fuckhotsexy man in his black leather (okay probably pleather) pants swiveling his hips to this sultry beat...HOLA! Seriously, by the time he reached the refrain "Do You Really Want It?" we all answered "Yeah!" If you need a refresher of that performance, I found a relatively clear version on the YT see below.

Isn't he pretty?! Did you see the standing ovation? Okay true confession time, we taped the Grammys that year and as soon as it was over we rewound the tape and watched Ricky's performance over and over again dancing to the song and yelling out "Do You Really Want It? Yeah!" and then counting in English, Spanish and French. #TrueFax. Ah Good Times.

The next day all anyone could talk about was Ricky Martin. How sexy he was, how he moved those hips, how he looked like he was genuinely having such a good time performing and just how totally unexpectedly awesome his performance was. He got a fucking standing ovation!

Who could have known that there were bigger and better things to come from him now that he had successfully crossed over into the 'English-speaking' market? Another confession, I was a member of the BMG CD Club and that right there is how I satisfied my Ricky Martin addiction. I started ordering his shit in Spanish...which I couldn't speak that well then (not much better today, sadly) but I didn't care, because I discovered that apart from being fuckhotsexy, Ricky Martin had an awesome voice...especially in those ballads. Dear God. I think I had one of my very first orgasms to a Ricky Martin song...not going to tell you which one. #TMFIOvershare.

Listen to the longing in his voice...guh. Beautiful.

Listen to the passion in his voice:

That brings us to the zenith of Ricky's career. Three of the best songs ever:

She Bangs (please ignore the feathered side-swept bangs)

Shake Your Bon Bon: Best lyric ever "Up in the Himalayas, Come on I wanna lay ya"

Livin' La Vida Loca: Seriously, you CANNOT listen to this song without swiveling your hips and thinking that you have become an honorary latina shaking your ass all over the place. Sadly, this was me, back in the day. (and right now as I write this post) #Sadface. One of my all time favorite songs.

So, thank you Ricky Martin for introducing me to Latin music. It was because of you that I broadened my musical horizons. That lead to world music appreciation. That lead to Enrique Iglesias (pre-mole removal...yeah I'm bitter about that). It also lead to JLo, and THAT I'm holding against you.

I love Ricky Martin.

Nostalgia; it's a beautiful thing.

Who's Really To Blame For The US Financial Crisis

I bet I shocked you with this post title, huh?!

Yes, I'm going to step away from my typical light-hearted fare to talk about something serious.

For the past few years the US has been in the midst of the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. All of the experts have weighed in and the blame game and the pointing of fingers has been going on for the past 3 years.

I'm no financial expert. I'm no political pundit. However, I am an investor and a consumer and therefore believe myself qualified enough to share an educated opinion about what I believe lead us here as a country.

In it's simplest form, this crisis can be blamed on 2 things:

1. Avarice on Wall Street

2. Naiveté on Main Street



Avarice on Wall Street:


In my mind this is pretty self explanatory. Wall Street's primary function is to provide me, as an investor, with lucrative investments so that I can make a shit load of money. That's their 'Raison d'être'. Yes, implicit in that function, they're supposed to ensure that the investments they offer are sound. We trust them to do this for us. We trust them to reassure us that all is well and that our money is safe. However, we forget that this is a THEIR business and they will look out for themselves FIRST!

Bottom line, Wall Street put together some shoddy, shitty bundles of investments (Mortgage Backed Securities) marketed and sold the shit out of them and made a killing by duping (whether that was the initial intent withstanding) their trusting investors.

Naiveté on Main Street:

So Wall Street pushes these new (Super-duper! Get them while they're HOT!) investments to your banks, credit unions, 401Ks etc. and, as is want to happen with such a dastardly trickle-down effect, they end up on the doorsteps of John and Jane Q. Public on Main Street in the form of Mortgages.

We can all argue now that hindsight is 20/20, but right at that moment all John and Jane could see was the opportunity to achieve the 'American Dream'; to own their very own home. So, they naively signed away their lives agreeing to terms they either didn't comprehend, were blithely unaware of, or determined that they could meet the terms of the contract when their mortgage payment tripled after a year.

I remember hearing the rationale put forth by friends/co-workers trying to reassure themselves that they could 'do it'. Both partners would get second jobs. They would save more from right now. They could cut out lattes, HBO, sell the second car and take lunch to work every day. They would invest more on the side. All sound, long term goals and noble to boot. What they did not account for was the fact that when the crisis hit that they would lose the very jobs they had now. Harsh reality soon set in and the dream was lost; evidenced by the foreclosure sign on the lawn of the dream house they really, truly could never, ever afford in the first place.

Sad, but true.

As my grandma used to say:

'If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.'

Those investments Wall Street was selling us were too good to be true, but that was what lured us as the salivating, greedy, money-hungry investors that we are. The returns were good, so we didn't ask any questions or tread carefully. Wall Street's greed and Investor greed. That's Avarice.

As a consumer, taught that our 'be all, end all' is to own our own home, we jumped at the chance to do it and do it NOW. It all looked so doable, so simple. That should have been our first clue. That's Naiveté.

Thanks for reading.

Dazz, Investor & Consumer.

True Blood & The Samson Hair Effect: Paging Mr. Ball

Dear Alan Ball,

I have been trying to not let this situation with your Eric Northman get to me; but I'm mad as hell and can't take it anymore!! Something has to be done about this tragic situation immediately and only you have the power to ensure that things are fixed pronto!

When I first heard that 'they' were going to be adapting Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries into a TV show, I was leery. Until I heard that you were going to be the one doing the adapting; that you would be the one in charge. Knowing that it was you, I was able to rest easy, confident that you would do the books justice and keep me, as a loyal visitor to Bon Temps, happy with the way you adapted all of the characters.

Right off the bat, I saw similarities and huge differences, but I was willing to take the ride with you and see where your fertile imagination would lead this viewer.

Never in a million years would I have believed that you would make a heinous mistake with my favorite character from the books - Eric Northman. Eric of all people! When we were first introduced to him on the show the first thing out of my mouth was 'what the fuck is up with his hair?' The second thing was 'what the fuck is up with his voice?' I don't remember much after that, except for the part where they hurried out of Fangtasia on some sort of silent hovercraft surfboard??? Think about that, you'll get what I'm saying.

Let's tackle the voice thing first as it is the lesser of the two evils, IMHO. When you read books, you form certain impressions of the characters in your mind, based off of their descriptions by the author. If there is one thing that Charlaine Harris is phenomenally talented at it is her detailed descriptions of her characters. So from reading her descriptions of Eric, I was expecting to see a Viking but dressed in today's clothing - predominantly jeans and T-Shirt (with the occasional black leather thrown in). I figured, how hard was that description to fuck up. Apparently it was very easy to fuck up because damn, you put the most vile wig/hair extensions on a sexy ass Swede with a near David Beckham proportion Kermit the Frog voice. Sweet Baby Jesus, it was like sensory overload for me.

So,the hair. Please fix this. Eric is supposed to be Viking. That means long (at least brushing the shoulder length), lustrous, beautiful, golden tresses. Not a weave that looks like it was worn by a ho on the stroll! Those tacky assed extensions are not gonna cut it sir.

As the series progressed, I could see that there were attempts to fix the hair situation, culminating in the tongue-in-cheek admission by a foil wearing Eric that Pam was giving him highlights. We all yelled Huzzah that you heard and were acting based on all of our rants on the HBO TB message boards!

So, I liked (not loved) the newer shorter slicked back do and was willing to give you a pass on not adhering to canon Eric. I mean FFS, you didn't kill off my fave Lafayette, so who the fuck was I to complain about unpretty hair?

So, I lay content until I saw promos for season 3 and Eric's hair was a very dark blond??? What.The.Fuck? Handle this immediately, the Viking MUST BE GOLDEN BLOND!

This is the Samson Hair Effect at work: the more you fuck with Eric's hair, the more turned off you are going to make your viewers. You do not want us picketing HBO demanding better Hair Quality for Bon Temps' sexy Viking Vampire Sheriff, do you? Seriously though, Eric's strength lies in his hair. Fuck with it and you emasculate him and kill the sexy.

So now let's talk about the voice. When I first heard him speak, I got the David Beckham flashback - you look at the pretty, lick your lips and then he opens his mouth and speaks and totes ruins the fantasy. Then I notice that Eric's voice grew on me and soon it became acceptable. Plus, I realized that during season 2 when he appeared very comfortable in his role as Eric, his vocal register, speech patterns and body language all mellowed out and all was well with my dear Sheriff.

On a final note, please, no more track suits or wife-beaters for Eric. There's something about the proportion of Alex's upper body to his lower half that makes him look slightly...how can I put this diplomatically...'oafish' when he is wearing a wife-beater. Also, no self respecting Viking, no matter how old, would ever wear a fucking track-suit!

I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us for season 3! Let me also add that I am glad that both Eggs and Maryanne are dead; those character story-lines were drawn out waaay to long and we actually cheered when they both met their fates.

I have a few requests for season 3:

More Pam: she's a snarky bitch and EVERYONE loves a snarky bitch!
More Lafayette: EVERYONE could use a little more Lafayette in their lives!
At least one appearance by Gran: Lois Smith is a phenomenal actress; I think she deserves a dream sequence.
More Andy Bellefleur
More Terry Bellefleur
Less Beel and Shuky: Sorry, I meant Bill and Sookie, but it is truly a fucking travesty the way they say each other's names.Cringe.Fucking.Worthy.Pronunciation. Blurgh.

and Finally...MORE ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the Eric/Sookie sparks ignite.

Damn, is it June13th yet?

LoTR: Aragorn & Legolas

Hello Lovies!

So today me and the GBFs were surfing and chatting and came across some recent pics of Orlando Bloom and we couldn't help but reminisc about how fucking hawt Orly was back in his LoTR heyday. That lead to us going through what seemed like hundreds of vids on YouTube just quivering at the Legolas Pretty. Damn, that man's fine, slightly effeminate, elven features still bring the moists and the boners to this day! TMI? Perhaps, but don't pretend you don't KNOW what I mean.

As we perused the vids, we couldn't help but notice the smoldering all-male Pretty (and Jaw Porn) that is Viggo Mortensen aka Strider aka Aragorn aka King Elessar. No matter what you call him, that man is fuckhot. I am calling this Araporn from now on.

After what may have been several hours perusing the Pretty (solely for research purposes of course) we happened across one video that we all loved! It is strictly Aragorn and Legolas and let me tell you the thing is fucking hot! Seriously, how come I never saw this homoerotic, smoldering, UST, bromantic shit when I was watching these films when they first came out years ago???? Damn, the looks that they were exchanging...GUH and UNF!

So...Conan and... TBS? What The Fuck? Yah, didn't see that partnership coming.

Anyhoodle...bring it on Conando, I miss you and I'll watch you on that channel that I hardly ever watch but which I will now favorite in anticipation of your show's debut in November.

Does anyone else see the fucked up irony/reverse serendipity that Conan's new 11p.m. show on TBS will be bumping George Lopez's show to midnight?

Enough.Is.Enough.

Dear Media: There are no 'pregnant men'. Cease and desist with the sensationalist and disrespectful headlines!

JFC, this characterization has been driving me crazy since the first transgendered woman (in transition) became pregnant a few years ago and the media adopted the disgusting misnomer 'pregnant man'.

Biologically speaking, it is currently impossible for a man to become pregnant. That is a fact. The individuals who have become famous/infamous over the past few years are WOMEN. Yes, they are considered transgendered as they are transitioning from FTM, however, since they still have female reproductive organs and can become pregnant, they are still biologically considered female.

The term 'pregnant man' is one that was adopted by the MSM merely as a sensationalist ploy for ratings, readership etc., IMHO. Really, the term is disrespectful to transgendered individuals and those deciding/preparing to transition.

I also think that it does the LGBT community a huge disservice when others (outsiders) are allowed to label them inaccurately.

I frequent and comment on a few blogs and today this story was mentioned with the term 'pregnant man' in the post title. Some like me, were offended by the incorrect characterization of the transgendered female who had given birth. There was also a lot of confusion expressed by the commenters (if she identified as a man, why would she want to get pregnant and have a child?) as well as out and out intolerance and disgust (surprise surprise, NOT) at the couple.

The bruhaha made me wonder. The women who are pregnant and are being interviewed for their story, can't they insist on a change in how they are being characterized? They can demand/insist that the term 'pregnant man' is a misnomer and that they don't want to be referred to as such. Take the opportunity to educate the public on your unique circumstance. In effect, label yourself before someone incorrectly or inaccurately labels you.

Something like:

"I was born a woman, however I felt that I identified more as a male and decided to transition from FTM. As part of my transition, I had my breasts removed, began hormone treatments etc. Prior to completing gender reassignment surgery portion of my transition, I decided that I wanted to have a child of my own. Using donated sperm, I became pregnant and gave birth. I will now either go forward with the gender reassignment surgery or not.' To me, this addresses both the choice that they made to transition and to have a child.

Maybe, I am unintentionally oversimplifying this due to my lack of any real knowledge of their unique situations. Maybe these women's hands are tied? Would they rather get their story (of a family, who may not be your 'typical' one, but who are loving and 'normal' like any other family) out to the public and show the world that they have every right to start and raise a family like everyone else? Is that more important than 'getting the terms right'?

My fervent hope is that there will be a universal term death: 'Pregnant Man'.

Grey's Anatomy: The M.A.G.I.C is Gone

Hello Lovies!

So, as you know I've been ambivalent about Grey's Anatomy for sometime now, sure that it had jumped the shark and would probably be lucky to be renewed for another season - if that.

With last week's confirmation that Katherine Heigl will not be returning to the series, I feel compelled to make some sort of statement. So here goes.

When this show first debuted, my friends and I were hooked immediately. The 5 main characters -the interns, were a fresh addition to reality heavy TV and we related to them and the show right away. It was during the second epi that we noticed that the first letters of their first names spelled out the word MAGIC (I now refer to this as the Harry Potter Ministry Of Magic Effect - and if you got the reference I will heart you forever!.)

M = Meredith
A = Alex
G = George
I = Izzie
C = Cristina

Their camaraderie, hi-jinks, shenanigans and drama was great for the first 3 seasons and then that show seriously started going to SHIT! Shitty writing, contrived stories (getting stabbed by an ice stalactite, performing mouth to mouth on a deer, not to mention the epic...Meredith 'drowning' incident, the 'for the love of God just Fucking Die Already Denny so Izzie can stop fucking your ghost' crap, the '007 BusKill' and of course 'The Post It Marriage') What. The. Fuck. Shonda? What the Fuck?

Say what you will about Katherine Heigl and the shitty, entitled, ungrateful attitude she displays in the media, but she acts the hell out of the crappy material that is written for her on Grey's. For that alone, I will miss her.

I miss the old Alex Karev, not this pudgy, emasculated, whiny asshole that he is now.

I WILL NEVER miss George 'I made a girl cry during/after sex' O'Malley. Ever. He was THE weakest link on this show and I cheered like a fucking loon when I realized that he really had been killed by the bus. YES I DID!

Cristina's character was my favorite character, but then Shonda ruined her with the fallout from the Isaiah Washington bruhaha. She has never been the same since. Her character has basically devolved into a bitch; and not the good kind either.

What can we say about Meredith? Dragging her remaining family into the show - her Dad and her sister Lexipedia (I hate Lexie and the actress who plays her with the fire of a million suns! GAH!!!!) ruined her characterization as well.

Shonda, what the hell happened to the Fab Five? It's like you wrote these excellent characters and then just stopped developing them or you left it up to others who didn't share your vision. The show hasn't been the same and I don't watch it anymore and you know what...I don't miss it.

What I do miss is the excellent character Dr. Preston Burke. That was one of the better veteran actors on the show. He could act circles around McDreamy AND McSteamy. He was that good. The way you as the creator of that show handled the 'slur heard around the world incidents' was horrible. I believe that you let T.R. Knight, Katherine Heigl and ABC pressure you into letting him go and in agreeing allowed his unexpected departure to ruin the direction of your show. It has never been the same since. You have only yourself to blame. Handling this differently, you could have kept him on and it would have avoided the shoddy addition of so many stupid extraneous unnecessary characters (Dr. Hahn, Lexipedia, Meredith's Dad, Teddy etc.).

Anyhoo, it's all water under the bridge now, but I wonder if you would reconsider re-hiring Isaiah and resurrecting the Dr. Burke character; he would be a threat to so many people and open up so many avenues for drama and entertaining story lines. He would be a cardio-thoracic specialty threat to Teddy and threaten her title as Mentor to Cristina as in his time away he has become the expert in their field and has just patented/perfected the 'Preston Procedure' (shit now I have to write fan fic for this! LMAO/NR). He would be a potential love interest again for Cristina and cause some problems with her and Owen. He could also come back gunning for Chief and therefore be a threat to both Richard and Dereck. Just a few thoughts.

Shonda, it's been a great run, but Grey's is officially dead to me. I won't miss the show, but I'll miss what you created initially.

That was indeed M.A.G.I.C.

Presenting Ryan Locke. That.Is.All.

Hello Lovies,

So, I'm not the biggest Beyoncé fan out there, but I do love a few of her songs/videos.

When I first saw her video for 'If I Were A Boy', as soon as I saw her 'partner', I got the QUIVERS! Damn that man is fucking beautiful...AND sporting some serious jaw porn, lovies. His name is Ryan Locke and he is absolutely GORGEOUS. Plus what a smile and I like the way his mouth moves when he talks. Guh!

Watch the below video and enjoy...I'm sure you'll agree he looks great in that uniform although methinks he would look even better out of it...

Alice...Ugh...OMFG

Hello Lovies!

Hope you guys are all recovered from your various St. Patty's Day celebrations. I am pleased to announce that not a single drop of alcohol passed my lips! YAY!

Have you ever had green corned beef on green bread? No, then you are definitely missing out. I do, however, draw the line at green mayonnaise. You do not fuck with mayonnaise. Ever.

Okay, so now onto the subject of this post.

So you know how I love reading my Twilight fanfiction, right? Well, it's getting very hard for me now that I have discovered this insidious undercurrent in a lot of the fics where Alice is a character. I swear to God, if I have to read one more fucking instance where Alice squealed, Alice clapped her hands, Alice jumped up and down, Alice bounced, Alice is Pixie-like, Alice forces Bella to go shopping, I will fucking stab myself in the left eye!!! OMFG, the characterization of Alice is the worst characterization of the entire Twilight fandom.

People, there is more to Alice than the above. She is a loyal friend, sister, spouse, daughter. She is fiercely protective of her friends and family. She is compassionate and caring. We can make her enthusiastic without making her fucking annoying. She is a young woman not a 10 year old screaming at a JoBro concert. Sheesh.

I have had many a story absolutely ruined because this characterization of Alice is so over the top it takes on a life of its own and is totally distracting to the overall plot of the fic.

Authors, I beg you, please find more realistic ways to show Alice's nature other than the practically psychotic, hyper, uncaring, evil-Pixie bully.

Thank You.

Sincerely,

Dazz

Happy St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!

For the record, adding green food coloring to Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider sounded like a good idea...in reality...not so much.

Since one of my New Year's resolutions was to stop imbibing alcohol, I know that today (and this coming Saturday when my city has its parade) are going to be tempting as fuck for me. But I will prevail!

Remember, if you are going to drink DON'T drive. If you are going to drive DON'T drink.

Be safe and responsible, lovies and have a great day!

Happy Steak And BJ Day

Hello Lovies,

First, to all my boys, let me take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Steak & Blowjob day.

Your significant others are PREPARED & EAGER to lavish you with the attention you so richly deserve.

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, S&B Day is the male equivalent of Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day our men lavish us with candy, chocolate, flowers, gifts, spa-days, sex (sorry, I mean 'love making') etc. everything that they know we want as a way for them to show us their love and appreciation. Well for S&B Day all our men really want is a well cooked steak and a BJ. How could we NOT give them what they want?

You can make it more interesting...breakfast in bed, then the BJ. Let him watch sports - in peace- then sex preferably on his favorite recliner with you on top. Then lunch - the aforementioned well cooked steak along with other of his favorite gastronomic delights. Then more sports watching for him. Then later in the evening give him his token present (those basketball/hockey/football/baseball tickets/memorabilia that he's been hinting at for the last few months). Then a nice soak in the tub for the both of you. Then some mind blowingly spectacular sex (with you in control of course) to make that man feel cherished, loved and totally like the sex god he is! Then bed. Set the alarm for 11:30p.m. and when you wake, give him another spectacular blowjob to end his awesome day.

BTW, I've ordered one of the below for each of us to wear today while lavishing our men. I left them in everyone's linen closet.



You're welcome!!!


Hope you all have a great day and night and let your man know just how much you love and cherish him.

Love,

Dazz

I Miss Lafayette

I cannot wait for June to get here! What's the occasion? Perhaps a June wedding, you ask? Nope, it's the return of the Awesome True Blood! Whoohoo!

When season 2 ended I went into some serious True Blood withdrawal on Sunday nights. I would wander around my house muttering 'Needs more True Blood' in a creepy Gollum voice. Yes, I am a total dork, don't you dare judge me!

As someone who has read all 9 of the books in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series (the series upon which True Blood is based) I knew that Lafayette gets killed off in Book 2; he was actually supposed to be the body that was found in Andy Bellefleur's car (not Ms. Jeanette). However, because Lafayette turned out to be such a popular and favorite character of the fans and the critics, series creator Alan Ball decided to change and prolong his storyline.

Hands down, the actor who plays him, Nelsan Ellis is one of the most talented actors on the show, able to showcase a wide range of emotions - fear, anger, disappointment, vulnerability, compassion - you name it this man can do it and do it well. He emotes so well that you as the viewer have an almost visceral reaction to whatever scene he is playing. When he gets angry about being disrespected, he makes you feel his anger at the situation. When he's feeling frisky while doing a dance for his website, it makes you feel a little risque and mischievous too. When he feels compassion for Tara, you feel it too. When he feels the fear for Eric you definitely feel it and moreso you are reminded of what a vicious creature Eric is capable of being. When Lafayette was chained in the basement at Fangtasia, he made you feel everything that he was feeling; fear, despair, hopelessness, resolve...everything was so palpable. This is the mark of a truly gifted actor and I hope that Nelsan gets the chance to continue to showcase that talent even after his tenure on True Blood comes to an end.

So, he has some memorable scenes from the 2 seasons, but the below scene is when we were first introduced to the sheer awesomeness of Lafayette Reynolds; Merlottes' resident cook and no nonsense, take no shit, flamboyant, sexy-assed, buffed, gay man.




Seriously, how powerful was he in this scene?? I tell you Nelsan kills it every single time with Lafayette!

So, after this particular episode aired, I was saying the phrase 'tip your waitress' as a response to practically everything, LOL. This is one of the reasons that they kept Lafayette around, the man can take a relatively short scene and make it so memorable that that's all you will remember all week when you're doing your True Blood recaps with friends. He became a breakout star of the show and it is well deserved.

I'm feeling the Lafayette Love people!

'Tip Your Waitress!'

UNF...Alexander Skarsgård. That.Is.All.

Now THIS put me in a better mood!

Behold the pure sexy that is Alexander Skarsgård in these really well done black and white photos.

Watch him in action in the accompanying interview. Le Sigh.





I can't wait for True Blood to be back in June so that I can get my Sunday night fix of my sexy Viking vampire Eric. Guh and UNF!

Too Good To Be True

Hello lovies, just a warning - today I'm being a total cynical bitch. See below to understand ONE of the reasons why.

Back on December 31st, 2009 I wrote a post about Kish (Kyle and Fish) the gay couple on ABC's One Life To Live having their first time depicted (somewhat) on TV and how it was progress for the LGBT community. Click here for the post.

Well, hold your horses, cuz according to TV Guide they'll be gone come mid April. Yup, ABC (and you know how much I hate those fuckers and refuse to watch them) has decided to basically write the couple out of the show come mid April supposedly because Kish specific episodes had low ratings. Uh, how about the fact that you had another storyline going that was so contrived and dare I say insulting (and not just to the LGBT community) involving someone PRETENDING to be a lesbian for political gain? Could that despicable storyline be part of the reason for low ratings? Plus, overall your soap just isn't that great! You'll lose the viewers that tuned in just to see the Kish storyline. Although if they were like me and were still in my Adam Lambert induced boycott of ABC I was watching the Kish stuff online so as NOT to be counted in ABC's ratings.

Well, just like the homophobia they demonstrated last year with the censoring of Adam Lambert's performance on the American Music Awards, dropping him from GMA, then inviting FELON Chris Brown to be interviewed and to perform which was tantamount to saying that Chris was more decent than having a talented homosexual singer/entertainer be interviewed and perform, should I really be surprised that ABC would kill this gay storyline? No, I shouldn't, but because I try to live in a world and conduct my own life where I have faith that everyone would be afforded the same rights/opportunities etc. no matter color, creed, class, social standing or SEXUAL ORIENTATION, it still saddens and angers me. Obviously I am living in a fucking fantasy world. Well today, I take off my Rose-colored Gucci shades of hope and turn into a cynical realistic bitch. With everything that has been happening the past few months regarding the denial of rights for same sex marriage and blatant discrimination of homosexuals (Adam Lambert and Johnny Weir) it just seems as though there is a targeted grassroots negativity campaign on homosexuals.

Well, this cynical bitch is off to watch her Queer As Folk DVDs; watching Brian Kinney fuck or get blown in the backroom at Babylon always cheers me up.

Oh, and FUCK YOU ABC! Fuck you to the deepest, fieriest pits of Mordor!

*Puts Gucci shades back on , cuz DAMN I look good in them*

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!

BTW, Cadbury Chocolate is THE BEST chocolate in the world! Le Sigh.

Just Because...Love

So, I'm feeling like a sappy, sentimental old fool today...enjoy.

Team Conando - All The Way!

Yep, I'm definitely with Coco.

He's getting a really raw deal from NBC, but he's still handling the situation with honesty and class.

Loved his letter to the People of Earth yesterday, honest, eloquent and a subtle bitchslap to the face of NBC.

How can you not love a man who brought you:

The Masturbating Bear (seriously, that bear was a furious masturbator!)
Pimpbot
Oldy
The Fed-Ex Pope
The Horny Manatee

All jokes aside, Conan really is getting the shitty end of the stick in this whole debacle. So what is this whole brouhaha (love how Craig Ferguson makes that word sound like it has 18 fucking syllables!) over? Here's the background as I understand it.

In 2004 Jay advised NBC that he was going to retire in 5 years (2009). NBC, acknowledging Conan's talent and his ratings contracted with him to take over the Tonight Show as Jay's replacement in 2009. Conan, who had loved the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and had dreamed of hosting the show said 'HELLS YEAH!' and accepted NBC's offer. Prior to the switch, Jay decided he didn't want to retire and insisted that if NBC didn't give him a show he would host a show elsewhere (I think ABC was the speculated competition he would have jumped to). NBC, the chumps that they are came up with this awful, pathetic excuse for a variety show to keep Jay. The problem was the show was so awful it tanked in the ratings; everybody essentially switched the channel when it came on and didn't switch back to see their local news or The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien either! So, as the new host of the Tonight Show, Conan's numbers were disappointing. Let's also not forget that the new audience demographic to which he was playing was much older than his previous one and Conan's creativity was stifled to fit the new target audience. This hurt him too, I think, but he was KILLED by the fact that any lead in he would have received from the 10p.m. 'drama/reality show' timeslot and local news had been eroded by the viewers all jumping ship because of Jay's 10p.m. drivel of a variety show!

So, what does NBC do? They are canceling the Jay Leno Show (in essence agreeing with all of us who thought it was HORRIBLE!). They are giving Jay another show (Jay Leno Show 2.0: Will Still Suck Balls) at 11:35p.m. Yes, they are essentially giving Jay Leno the Tonight Show timeslot. The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien will now move to 12:05a.m. Say it with me, lovies...What.The.Fuck?? How can it be The TONIGHT Show if it's technically on TOMORROW??? This would mean pushing the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show back as well and push Last Call With Carson Daly right off the late night schedule...all because Jay Leno changed his mind about retiring and NBC kissed his ass and accommodated him to ensure that he didn't jump ship and compete with them.

My thought is it doesn't matter what timeslot the Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien is in, if it is dependent upon a lead in from Jay Leno it will not fare well!

Bottom line is Jay Leno is NOT FUNNY! He used to be years ago, but he's not anymore and EVERYONE (except for those idiots at NBC) knows it.

So, if Conan stays with Jay on before him not bringing in numbers, the ratings for the Tonight Show will be disappointing. If Conan quits then he suffers as he had only realized his dream of hosting The Tonight Show for 7 months! His hands are kinda tied. I think NBC should cut their losses and DUMP JAY. He has shown that he cannot bring in ratings with his own brand of drivel, so let him go to another Network (if they'd take him) and let him sink!

Let's talk about Jay for a second. If he was a decent man, he would bow out gracefully and leave NBC now. However, he's a whiny little bitch with a BIG EGO, so he probably won't go. Also, judging by the support that the other late night hosts on CBS and ABC are giving Conan and how they are skewering Jay, I don't think he'd be welcome at either network now.

For those of you who've been accusing us Conan fans of over-reacting and blaming Jay for this clusterfuck, let's take a look at the videotape, shall we? Jay Leno is an egotistical, narcissistic LIAR, who has put his EGO ahead of the 'dynasty' of the Tonight Show and has caused all of the things which he said he didn't want to happen like in the Letterman/Leno Late Night Wars Part Une. I hope the Tonight Show ratings tank when you resume the helm and you have to slink away in shame when NBC realizes they made a HUGE mistake bringing you back.

Even though it's from the AWESOME site funnyordie.com, it is not funny, more sadly ironic.

Jay's 2004 Announcement - watch more funny videos

So, what if Conan decided to leave NBC? I wish that Conan would exercise his right to move to another network, have them pay him $1 per year so that YOU NBC are forced to pay his salary differential AND have Conan eat into your ratings by competing directly with Jay!

If you've been a fan of Conan for as long as I have been (since college days in the late 90s, God I feel so fucking OLD now) you know how much he loves doing his show and how much he wanted to do The Tonight Show one day. Conan actually cares about the Tonight Show and keeping its integrity intact. He hates the fact the legacy of the franchise is being tarnished by this poor management clusterfuck playing out in the media.

There's also some other things to consider. If Conan does take the 12:05a.m timeslot, he can get back to being the creative genius with the snarky, dorky, frat guy humor that we know and love and regain all of the fans he lost by having to change his show. Just a thought. That still doesn't change the fact that the show will be the TOMORROW show though.


This is a hard one, but my feeling is that this is the second time NBC has treated Conan poorly (there was that dark time in the beginning of Late Night history which we do not like to speak of) so it probably won't be the last, Conan.

Think on That.

Team Conando, all the way! This loyal viewer will follow you where ever you go, you Pretty Ho!

Gawker has the most awesome recaps of what's been going on on the late night shows regarding this whole mess. David Letterman is loving this shit! He so fucking hates Jay and he ain't holding anything back about 'Big Jaw'!

Love the Conan as the 'Pretty Ho' explanation and Tom Brokaw acknowledging himself as the News Ho! Conan, know that you have a lot of supporters behind you babe!

Et tu, New Jersey?

It is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge that New Jersey State Senators voted 20 to 14 to defeat a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage.

I am completely typeless at this point and don't know what else to say.

Dazz

A New Year's Wish

So far the following 5 states allow same sex marriage:

Massachusetts
Vermont
Connecticut
Iowa
New Hampshire

Here's hoping that within the next few days the New Jersey Senate will do the right thing and vote that state to be the 6th to allow same sex-marriage.

Dazz

Happy New Year!

Here's wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous and Love-Filled 2010!

Love,

Dazz
