London’s HOT TICKET: Elf

November 4, 2015 by MsCheevious

If you’re in the US, and happen to be jet-setting off to London this week, or you just so happen to be across the pond presently… The hot ticket to have in your hot little hands, is for the Elf (the Musical Gala) benefitting the Alzheimer’s Society this Thursday evening, November 5, 2015.

I love that.

Get it?

Alzheimer’s Society? November 5th?

“Remember, remember the 5th of November?”

If you don’t know the reference, look it up kids, then report back to me. It’s a good one, but it’s the “remembering” thing that kills me!

But seriously, there is a reason this is especially poignant right now: Because November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

NOVEMBER IS ALZHEIMER’S AWARENESS MONTH

The evening starts with red carpet arrivals at the Dominion Theater in London’s West End, and of course the play, which recently opened to rave reviews (produced by Michael Rose and U-Live, and directed by Morgan Young).  Catch the trailer here. Following that, a star-studded red carpet and gala celebration at Hamley’s Toy Store on Regent Street, where I’m told Buddy the Elf (Ben Forster) and Jovie (Kimberly Walsh of Girls Aloud) will arrive on a sleigh pulled by reindeer (police escort and all).

A SLEIGH PULLED BY REINDEER.

WITH A POLICE ESCORT, PEOPLE.

YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS, IF AT ALL HUMANLY POSSIBLE

Why?

Because it’s a feel good story that is sure to exceed your expectations, and this evening’s cause is a great one. We’ve got to take care of our elders people. Don’t ever forget that, because as I get older, I may forget it!  I NEED YOU. YOU NEED ME. We all need each other!

It’s that whole “you reap what you sow,” thing.

I know you understand.

If you’re not going to be in London but you have friends or family who might:

It’s the Little Things … (On Hollywood and the Academy Awards)

February 28, 2013 by MC Nugget

NOTE FROM MS. CHEEVIOUS:

You knew the day would come when my beau M.C. Nugget would agree to cook up a blog for MsCheevious!  Considering he is one of the funniest and most clever writers I know, I’m ecstatic!  And so, without further adieu, I give you… The Nugg…

============

Well, greetings ladies and gentlemen and fellow barnyard critters. Mc. Nugget, FKA Fred the Wonder Chicken here, guest blogging.  Apparently Ms. Cheevious’ good writers are all busy.

Well then… How about a little minutia? The proverbial “mole hill,” which I will endeavor to turn into a mountain (cause, it’s the little things)…

Michelle Obama on the Oscars. 

My human counterpart touched on this on Facebook and got quite a response. So now it’s your turn.

Full disclosure; I lean to the left.  This scruffy chicken voted for the big “O” and I think his wife is a great First Lady.  She tries to keep our chubby youth thin, (quite an undertaking), and she represents her office with class.  However……

What were you thinking Academy??  

Really?  Did you not suppose that her appearance might serve to polarize say… HALF your audience?  Yes, Republicans watch the Oscars too (although just for the commercials)!  I mean Hollywood is already known as the Mordor of the left, so why stoke that fire?  There actually are GOP supporters in the entertainment industry, by the way.  I know.  I saw one once. From a distance…. He looked uncomfortable…

Now you’re saying, “what’s the big deal?” “Lighten up.” “Don’t you have anything better to do?” “Take off that stupid hat!” “I’m calling Ms Cheevious to complain!”   Remember today is all about…MINUTIA!

So, where were we? Oh yeah.  See, these days anything that can be construed as political becomes political.  It has nothing to do with intention.  I don’t think the Academy intended to make a political statement but you put the First Lady up on a 70 foot screen in front of the most powerful people in Hollywood, with the Best Picture envelope in her hand, then beam it ‘round the world, it’s gonna’ get some attention.   I know a guy with a fading Romney bumper sticker still on his car, who wasn’t even watching, and he broke out in a cold sweat!  Some of the comments I got on Facebook were none too friendly either… on both sides.
Michelle+Obama+85th+Annual+Academy+Awards+Riwr64YY1I8l

My point, I guess, is that we are a pretty divided country.  People wear their politicians like the jersey of their favorite football team, and get really pissed off when they lose.  (If you’ve ever been to a Raiders game, you know what I’m talking about).   Hollywood, presenting Michelle Obama as some kind of prize that they helped create, (and believe me there are people who think that), doesn’t help that division.  And it’s not what the Academy Awards are about.  I think she stole a little thunder from Argo….. Yeah I know: “Arrrr-go F*#k yourself!”

But here’s the big problem… the BIG question… When did that envelope get TO THE White House? And who peeked??  Come on, you know someone did!  This is the “government” we’re talking about … keeping a “secret.” That’s like oil & water, kids.  If nothing else, do you really think that they’re gonna let some clown get off a plane from LA and hand the First Lady an envelope without checking it for Anthrax?

376228-michelle-obama-85th-academy-awards

Come on!  Someone took a peek inside that envelope, before she got it!  And I wanna’ know if any calls went out from the White House to Vegas an hour before the show!

Just one cynical chicken’s point of view.

How Buffy the Vampire Slayer Rocked My World

April 22, 2012 by MsCheevious

No, I’m sorry.  This is not about the dark and try-as-it may-to-be sinister television series. It’s about the film from 1992. It was suppose to usher in the dawn of the feminist horror queen heroines. No scream queens in this film.  But instead it was campy and hilarious, and was reviewed poorly… written off by film reviewers.

Then a little thing like a cult following made a television network like the CW stand up and take notice. They repurposed the storyline for a six year run on primetime television. Only, the television version didn’t come close to what fans of the film had fallen in love with:  the hot, somewhat ditzy valley girl (Kristy Swanson) meets somewhat hot and quirky love interest (Luke Perry), two very likable, ill-intending, yet clumsy vampires (Rutger Hauer & Paul Reubens aka Peewee Herman), and a wise old Vampire-Slayer guide (Donald Sutherland).

Since one of those “other” blog sites (Hello Giggles) out there posted “Five Ways Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ruined My Life” about the television show, I decided someone had to talk about how this film impacted modern-day pathos…certainly my own.

The MOVIE “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” rocked my world, because it came at a time when I was a young mother who was newly married. My life had become very proper, and tame. I was introduced to these SNARKY, HILARIOUS, COOL phrases that made up most of the film, and I was in awe. I had always been one of the girls in my circle who wise-cracked and made silly-as-hell jokes about everything, but now, just as Buffy was always ready and always witty, so too I would always be ready with a quick-witted response. I knew that my wit could some day change the world – and definitely save my life.  I was right, of course. Here are just a few of the ways the film and it’s awesome lines ROCKED my world:

  • When something is TOTALLY out of style: What I use to say when something was out of date or unfashionable (oh ten or more years ago) was, like Buffy’s friends in the movie, “That’s SOOOO Five Minutes ago.”  But because the quick wit of the film made such an impression, I’ve become very adept at updating my quips to relate to current culture.  So now I may say, “That’s SOOO five megahertz ago.” OR if I’m REALLY on my game, I’d say (pay attention now, this is GOOD): “That is SO 3G.“
  • How I ALWAYS look on the bright side: David Arquette’s character, Benny was best friends with Luke Perry’s character Pike, but he got turned into a vampire early in the movie.  BUMMER.  Later in the movie he says “Come on, Pike! Join me! Live forever! We can start a band!”  That is SO me.  I’d totally be turning life as a member of the undead into something cool. I’d be the lead singer.
  • When I want to use hormones as an excuse: Buffy learned that as the “chosen one”, the “slayer”, the way she would know that vampires were nearby is she would get cramps, similar to the kind she got during her period.  Her response? “Great. My secret weapon is PMS.”  So, basically, whenever she got cramps, it was time to KICK SOME ASS. HELLO?  Can you say IRON CLAD EXCUSE for going Bat Shit CRAZY on people? Hormones People!  PMS, Periods, Menopause, Whatever!  Voila!  See why it rocked my world?  Now, before you clue me into the fact that Buffy’s cramps were not her actual period and therefore were no excuse for any behavior (one could argue that actually), let me remind you of something.  This is about how it rocked MY world. You can read all the lines on your own (a link to many of them is below) and draw your own conclusions, but no one ever promised objective or even REAL reporting here in Ms. Cheevious-land.  So for me, the cramps bit was a great way for me to excuse MY ASS KICKING behavior when I’m hormonal, unkay?

Heyyyy… maybe I’m not only “like” Buffy. Maybe I AM a Slayer after all.

But really, the list of comedic retorts and phrases goes on and on!  There are so many great lines in that movie.  It definitely ROCKED my world.

That’s it for now my lovelies!  I’m off to beddy-by, where I can dream about slaying the world with my cool-ass wit.

But before I go… one of the readers of my post “10 Things Guys Secretly Wish About Women” asked me to do a similar post about what Women Secretly Wish About Men. I’m toying with the idea.  But in the meantime, for your reading enjoyment, you can find many of the funny lines from the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” film here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_(film).

See you next time everyone!

Love you people!!!! Mmmmpphhuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Media Mogul Ms.

January 23, 2012 by MsCheevious

**My apologies to my subscribers for the email you may have received while my crack-team (no.  not my team on crack) of site programmers work out the bugs on a new email format! Now onto today’s post!**

Okay Rupert Murdoch: hopefully you’re not in jail for phone hacking, because I may need your help.

There’s a new media upstart in town and she’s… of all things… using her REAL NAME (cue scare chord, as they say in music/film).

I confess.  She happens to be the creator of this website, the Ms. Cheevious book, the YouTube channel, Twitter, Facebook page and well — ME.  But STILL!  Will she stop at nothing?

I suppose not, because here, this is MY blog, and I’m spreading the word like a pawn in her sinister game of chess.  The goal?  World domination, no doubt.  And, I can’t — re–zist— tell–ing… (grunt) you– about — (moan) — the  —  #%!/  — new — YouTube channel!!!  Whew!!! (Exhausted).

So here it is – her first video on her (read with sarcasm) NEW Channel! Neener neener neener & La-Di-friggin-Dah:

If you can’t see the video box above, click here or copy/paste this link into a browser window: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIuADlcACk4&context=C3528ddeADOEgsToPDskLFoyPePK7v5_9f6ffoEYv3

Go there NOW, would you?  No one can predict what she’ll do to me (or any of us) if you don’t!

I’m told this is a Vlog site – so no shows or comedy.  But if you ask me she’s a real crack pot – I mean – crack up all on her own.

Lemme know what you think you gorgeous men and women!

Love you people!!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Mammoth Mountain Moments: My Plan for the Existence of Humanity

November 15, 2011 by MsCheevious

____

As ski season approaches, I just thought it apropos to post my video about my trip to Mammoth Mountain for skiing IN JUNE!!

We had SUCH a blast!  The sheer novelty of traveling through 95 degree temperatures just a few miles away, to ski the slopes of Mammoth Mountain – well that’s what I’m ALL about!

M.C. Nugget has a video of his own in the edit bay, but this one is all from my perspective. I did it back in October and posted to my Ms. Cheevious Youtube Channel, but it definitely warranted a blog post! And stay with me, because I divulge my plan for the existence of humanity. Yes, you’ll see me lounging on the slopes, skiing and – well, eating and drinking of course!

These are some profound thoughts, or “moments” I’m sharing with you people. It doesn’t get much better than this.  Plus – the music is cool, once again.  AND – I think you will AGREE that my plan for the existence of humanity is pretty cool… and ONE person who comes up with their own rendition of the “product” in question and posts in on my FACEBOOK page wins $25 bucks!  YEEHAW!  It has to be a photo or drawing, etc, and I will choose names out of a hat… if any of you actually do this!    You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see the video!  So get to it!

Enjoy!

If this video doesn’t display in your email or browser, please click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnALYukZeBA).

Then, PLEASE 1) post comments on youtube, 2) hit the “thumbs up” or “like” and 3) SUBSCRIBE to my fun youtube channel!

That’s it for now everyone!  Love and kisses to you all, as I enter the editing bay for the SECOND edition of Mammoth Moments!

Have a great rest of your week, and tune in next time for my annual Thanksgiving post!

Love you people!!!! Mmmmmpppphhhuuuuhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

What’s Your Color Today?

September 27, 2011 by MsCheevious

Mine remains to be seen people! (except perhaps my bloodshot eyes! OY!) Ha!

Will I be blond? Brunette? Red Headed? With me no one can tell. It is entirely dependent on my mood. :).

But, just know that regardless of the “color” Mood YOU are in, whether it be fire engine red and you are rarin’ to go, black as night with no daylight in sight, or sunshine yellow with a bounce in your step – YOU choose your outlook AND your behavior. And hey, I suppose some days we can allow that less than perfect behavior, and moods that just simply – well – suck.

I must admit you do hear about those more than when someone is inexplicably ELATED. And probably with good reason, right? Come on, ADMIT it. Sometimes when you get around one of those Perky Penelopes you just want to secretly stick your foot out, undetected, as they skip on By! Am I right? And when we’ve been elated, how often do we find ourselves feeling GUILTY for expressing it because, well, times are hard, people are suffering, and so on, and so forth.

But I desire and strive for authenticity people! When I am JUBILENT — and — when I am in the dumpster. You know… the one in back of MC Nugget’s apartment? It sometimes feels like a home away from home. LOL

But seriously, you are the ONLY one who can dig deep into your gut and pull out something unexpected. Happy, sad, angry, remorseful, whatever. So this, my lovelies, is your mission, should you choose to accept it. Surprise us all with your choice and we will celebrate YOU in the process!

Let us know what color you choose to be today by posting below. Feeling dark and gray and dreary? Do tell, but be creative in your color and tell us why! Feeling Stinkin FREAKIN JAZZED for some reason, and that color feels like Chartreuse to you? Can’t wait to hear about it.

Love you people!!!
Mmmmpphhuuhhhh!
