So many thoughts and memories have been running through the minds of us Elvis fans these last few weeks. It was recently the anniversary of Lisa Marie's passing. Last week would have been Elvis' birthday. And there was the rare occurrence of snow at Graceland a couple of days ago! (The latter isn't pictured here).… Continue reading Elvis: The Man and the Legend

Covert Colonialist Propaganda at Miss Universe Pageant 🙀
Okay, so the Miss Universe pageant was almost a week ago. One of the most exciting events from last week was the National Costume Show. It's difficult to come up with a costume that encapsulates all of the cultures and subcultures in a nation, especially in multicultural countries. I respect the difficulty that comes with… Continue reading Covert Colonialist Propaganda at Miss Universe Pageant 🙀
Lineup Shakeup Showdown: Slipknot vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd – Who’s Even Original Anymore?
The current Slipknot lineup has about as much in common with the original as today's Lynyrd Skynyrd has with a time-traveling version of themselves. In other words, not much. It's sad to see Jay Weinberg leave the band, especially since we don't know why they are parting ways. Slipknot's statement today that the band is… Continue reading Lineup Shakeup Showdown: Slipknot vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd – Who’s Even Original Anymore?
Miss Grand International 2023: Triumph, Scandal, and a Dark Underbelly of Xenophobia
Pageants always seem to hold an air of glamour and national pride, but sometimes, beneath the hairspray and radiant smiles lies a tale of controversy and injustice. The Miss Grand International 2023 pageant, held on 25 October in Vietnam, was no exception. Luciana Fuster of Peru was crowned as the queen in this relatively new… Continue reading Miss Grand International 2023: Triumph, Scandal, and a Dark Underbelly of Xenophobia
A Photographic Journey to Democratize Knowledge
I took several photos when I was in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Some of these snaps were personal, and to capture the beauty of the island, while others were to have a tangible memory of the historical significance of Zanzibar. I've licensed some of the photos, but there was one photo, packed with historical information, that… Continue reading A Photographic Journey to Democratize Knowledge
Skinny Little Missy
Well, that was an "interesting" music video. It was the official lyric video for Skinny Little Missy by Nickelback. The song is shallow, written at the level of a college kid who is getting high for the first time and thinks that the word salad he keeps repeating deserves a Nobel Prize in Literature. But… Continue reading Skinny Little Missy
Diana, Camilla, Charles… and Your Parasocial Relationship to Them
With the recent anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing and the immediate ascension of King Charles III to the throne, there has been a lot of cheap internet chatter over who the "real" Queen Consort is: His deceased ex-wife or his wife. The obvious and true answer is that it is Queen Camilla, the woman… Continue reading Diana, Camilla, Charles… and Your Parasocial Relationship to Them

So don't go anywhere if you want to hear all about an affordable home dye kit that promises "intense colour and shine, even on dark bases." And yes, everything in this blog that is written in… Continue reading A Tale of Hair Dyeing Horror- Psycho Shower Scene Remake
Working for…? Like, why?
Ever notice how similar the work ethic of the very disadvantaged is so similar to that of the ultra wealthy? Similar, but for very different reasons. With the disadvantaged person who works multiple jobs and has 18 hours days, the purpose of their long hours is to survive and to take care of their families.… Continue reading Working for…? Like, why?
Drakhan Blackhart’s Black Tape Project
Hey Angelenos and fashion lovers who followed LA Fashion Week from elsewhere! The last time I wrote about the Black Tape Project (BTP) was last month after its final show during New York Fashion Week. This month is LA Fashion Week, and as usual, Art Hearts Fashion had some of the hottest designers in their… Continue reading Drakhan Blackhart’s Black Tape Project
