LOVELIST | May...
This was the third year in a row that I joined my European mates for the world's biggest party--but I wasn't the only one; thanks to Logo TV Eurovision Song Contest was broadcast in the United States for the first time ever. Europe (and Australia) come together for a campy good time! (Think American Idol on steroids... and LSD... and ecstasy.) Sweden did an amazing job hosting and I already can't wait for next year when we head to Ukraine.
This month I discovered (and quickly fell in love with) British pop singer/song writer Florrie. This girl's got amazing talent and is going places! Favorite songs include: Shot You Down, Little White Lies, To The End and Real Love.
Sometimes you just have to Treat Yo Self, and this month I did just that, visiting my dear friend at Kim James Skin Care to tend to my rapidly aging face. A customized chemical peel and some much needed TLC, I left refreshed with a new-found glow. Be sure to check her out if you're in town. She's amazeballs!
Full disclosure: It took three attempts to make it through Lady Dynamite's wacky and weird pilot episode-- but third time was the charm, I stuck with it and became obsessed with this different, charming, hilarious and also sweet new Netflix series. 'Maria Bamford's semi-autobiographical, semi-surreal series is a truthful look at the highs and lows of Bamford’s life -- as an actor on the rise, during her hospitalization for bipolar disorder, and through her present life in LA, where she’s reached a middle ground and found love.'
James Corden is officially Killing It! (And I couldn't be any more obsessed with the adorably talented and bloody hilarious Brit.) Be sure to check out just a few of his most recent viral videos featuring some A-List Talent: Gwen Stefani, Julia Roberts and George Clooney's Carpool Karaoke, Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas Carpool Karaoke, Anne Hathaway's Drop The Mic and David Schwimmer (and Rebel Wilson)'s Drop the Mic.
JUNE BONUS: Did you also catch the special Tony Awards Broadway Edition of Carpool Karaoke, featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda, Audra McDonald, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Jane Krakowski? Simply Amazing!!
Electric-pop duo POWERS featuring Mike Del Rio (not clear if any relation to Bianca, lol) and Crista Ru, enjoyed a heavy presence on my Spotify playlist this month. The Los Angeles based New Yorkers got their start as song writers, penning tracks for Selena Gomez, Kylie Minogue, Eminem and Christina Aguilera. I love their work. Favorite songs include: Hot, Beat of My Drum, Loved By You and Legendary.
'A story of a family across four generations, centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Facing betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, Joy becomes a true boss of family and enterprise. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy's inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces.'
This month marked my 10 year anniversary at Trolley Manor(!!) and to celebrate my wonderful, kind, amazing landlords approved a major lawn-care upgrade. Really, it was like going from a covered wagon to a cute adorable Smart car. So farewell old manual push mower, you had a good run, but there's a new grass-cutter in town!
British Electrop pop trio Years and Years found their way into heavy rotation this month after I discovered their work on Spotify. Favorite tracks include: King, Desire, I Want to Love and Real.
Drag Race Season 7's stand out-queens Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikovahave their own World of Wonder web series called UNHhhh where they talk about whatever the hell they want. Because it's their show. Not ours.
What do you watch when there are no current televised tattooing, special effects, drag queen or clothing-sewing reality competitions ... You stumble on RuPaul's other TV project, GSN's Skin Wars body painting battles to fill the void.
I know some of you might be a bit reaaaalllly?! with this last entry, but I'm willing to bet a good chunk of people will get it. Those of us who have stumbled upon Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper's) Youtube channel, finding it deeply satisfying, fascinating, albeit a bit gross and the ultimate time waster. So Check It Out, are you with me?
