Crassmas
We, as a society, have turned Christmas into Crassmas in so many ways. You may have heard me rant against fake Christmas trees on CNN last year so I won’t revisit that except to note this… …you know how you have a friend with somewhat ugly, odd-look baby* and you feel obligated to say how […]
Save the Key!
Okay, so where am I? I’m traveling to work on my television show and somehow translate butchered Japanese english into real english and then back into something Japanese that the masses on the Pacific island can fathom in the middle of a melodrama. In the middle of all of this drama, and on the eve […]
Shop Right America!
Shopping. We are coming into our annual shopping season which traditionally begins with Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when U.S. retailers sound the bell and Americans respond like Pavlov’s Dog. However, many outlets begin Black Friday early this year knowing gullible shoppers would react accordingly. Why not have Black Friday every week and offer […]
The Hunger Games World Tour and the Fashion of Jennifer Lawrence
Okay, so where am I? There’s been some rumor about a trip to Hungary to see the amazing architecture and take in the opera at the Hungarian State Opera House (amazing!). And, I may have needed to be in Hollywood to accept my Emmy (yeah, that’s a thing, woo hoo!). And, I may or may […]
Innovation on the 101 Freeway
Okay, so where am I? Well if it were just ten years ago, I would be waiting in line to buy my Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens movie ticket that comes out three months from now. The Internet made it so I could skip Hollywood lines for the 1977 opening of the original Star […]
NSFW: Personal Brand
If Esquire says you are, you can bet that it’s true. While Playboy scraped the bottom of the marketing barrel to find a way to be even less relevant, Esquire magazine named Emilia Clarke the “Sexiest Woman Alive”, because, well, you know, the Internet is fueled by nudity and hints of nudity and fake nudity. […]
Melting on the Emmys Red Carpet
Okay, so where am I? Yes, indeed I am at the newly named Microsoft Theatre (formerly the Nokia Theatre) in Downtown Los Angeles at the Primetime Emmy Awards. Before I talk about the triple digit heat on the red carpet, I must declare that I really want to party with three women: Click here to […]
Nicki Minaj took my seat in business class, plus a visit with Flight Girl Daniela!
Okay, so where am I? I’m down on the ground once again. And not a second too soon because flying coach is a special trip to hell. I have to tell you that years of flying business and first class has spoiled me to the point where I need my mimosa before taking off or […]
The Incredible Reach of Star Wars
Okay, where am I? Seems to me, I am in a galaxy far, far away… “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” an iconic series was born that would shape the course of film for decades to come. Just the opening quote — a phrase we all know — is so ingrained […]
Straight Outta Encino
Okay, so where am I? I’m definitely NOT in Compton getting ready for the premiere of the N.W.A. bio pic Straight Outta Compton. (Although I did some of my early years living there with my dad in our Trek of Diversity that lasted until my mid-teens. But that is, of course, a story for another day.) […]
