PERISCOPE MADNESS PART 4 A.K.A. SUMMIT

THE INSANITY BEGINS...

Ok Guys, I may be boring you (hope not) by now with the Periscope news, but its not ending anytime soon...
Because OMG they announced the Summit in NYC guys! Of course we are all going bananas , walking around w/ chickens without heads or scopes. Better yet, so pumped and excited that I was jamming my music till 10.30 pm on a weeknite.  This has my mom , the cat and my son puzzled of my teenager/ millennial behavior. Not to mention, that I include in  my scopes, my frog, my x-mas Nutcracker and today Cookie Monster will make a guest appearance. Also, my cat likes to jump in too. So the first summit will take place in September and then the one in San Francisco is in 2016. I just wish that every one would be so excited for Twitter like this... bummer its been around since 2009. I kind of feel bad for Twitter , but not too bad. After all it (Twitter) purchased Periscope for I think $100 million. And I did sign up for Periscope through Twitter. So I  am assuming lots of Tweeps will be attending. But see not too many ppl know what Periscope is.. I usually get the emoji surprised face when I tell ppl about the app. Peri-what? who, what , when ,where?
I mean it is worse than Twitter, so I don't bother talking about it anymore. I will just live in my own little world, with the cat, Kermit, Nutcraker , Cookie Monster & my Scope audience. Thats all ;)

ADVENTURES IN PERISCOPE PART 3...

YES !! HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!
You guys the insanity that is Periscope has arrived! Tom Green & Andy Dick met at a doughnut shop , and invited everyone and anyone to join them, then they were all driving to "an undisclosed location" to live stream Tom's WEB-O-VISION show. I  am not making this up, this is the 21st century my friends and its bananas! The fact that this is playing live before us is amazing, that we can participate live and type what our little good hearts desire is historic. Now lots of people know nothing of Periscope or that it even exists, this in reality is a baby that is just 2 months old (I think).
The only downside , is that there really are no set rules , meaning, you can be live taping and you get a comment of "show me your boobs". Mind you, Periscope has strict rules of NO NUDITY policy, and they will take down your account. So I know this (I wouldn't flash my boobs anyway) but there may be a stripper, teenager or grandma that is not aware and presto their account is deleted. There are other policies that are probably in place and that we as new "periscopers" aren't even aware of..... 
There are some ppl that take this app seriously, they have Google hangouts where they will analyze Meerkat vs Periscope. But I just scope for fun, I'm not looking for sponsorship (all-though it would be nice) . But for the most part I scope of places I go, topics I enjoy, books or magazines I read. You could always delete your scope immediately or it will automatically dissolve in 24 hours. The only down side , and there may be lots , is the fact that minors are on here, and since someone in their teens may be sensitive if some hater or troll says something not nice, what are the repercussions? Said teenager could be hurt emotionally. You have to have a very thick skin to be on this app, granted you could block the hater/troll, but it was already said to you. And then what? Not to mention that this can be viewed globally, add that to the fact that you are inviting your twitter followers and you may be in front of a large audience ... LIVE.
So Think before you scope, that would be my advice for now, oh and please keep your top on.

S.O.S ! PERISCOPE INSANITY

ummmmmmm.....

Ok, so this week has been overwhelming. Or maybe I'm not alone...I feel like we have stepped into a totally new dimension, and not only myself , Oprah was live Periscoping for her 15th Anniversary of Oprah Magazine.... and we were a witness to her party, from Margaritas made w/ George Clooney tequila , to her giving the staff off the rest of the afternoon. Yep, they all let out a collective sigh when no FREE CARS weren't offered . You mean we worked our butts off for 15 years and we only get the afternoon off? Well what good are we if we are all buzzed anyway. This is the power of Periscope , this is me hanging out virtually with Oprah and her staff in awe. This is technology this is the future... but I couldn't help to sigh myself, and feel that my whole being has an urge to be on Periscope every 15 minutes. Like I have a rash or an itch that needs to be scratched in 15 minute intervals or I start to have withdrawals that are -and wait for this- MORE SEVERE THAN TWITTER. Yes folks, you heard it here first. I have neglected my twitter account for the first time since 2009, where I don't even scroll for the latest news, I dont interact like I used to. I just LIVE FEED FROM PERISCOPE. And it is sucking, and draining all of us daily. I think it needs to stop for my sanity and I think y'all should consider the same. Its just to addictive. Not to mention , not even half of celebrities are on it... can you imagine when they all catch up. WE WILL GET NOTHING DONE.
So let us return to our live tweeting, to our Bravo Marathons, to our Pinning, to our Blogging lives...wait after I Scope.....
HELP!!!!! IM DROWNING IN SCOPES

MONTAGE OF HECK/NIRVANA & OTHER THEORIES...



Good One
So the above documentary premiered on HBO, with illustrations (some of them gross and graphic) but interesting since he (Brett Morgen- Director) even managed to bring Kurts scribbling , journal writing to life. This week I immersed myself in all things Nirvana. And had a melancholic feeling each time I watched a video on You Tube (MTV UNPLUGGED LIVE FROM NY) or when just last nite I evidenced the VH1 Behind the Music special "Courtney Love", for this I recommend you You Tube it. I guess since I was in my early 20s when Kurt killed himself and I was distracted with other music, I really didn't know for a fact that an overwhelming amount of Nirvana fans have/had this theory all this time that Courtney Love allegedly murdered him. Things that make you go hmmmmm.....
I then proceeded to do more research ordering Kurts Journal book and Brett Morgens book of the 
movie. Also previous to all this I had watched on Hulu the documentary by the BBC called Kurt & Courtney.  Never once did I believe that Courtney had anything to do with it. Back in the day I was a huge HOLE fan. LTT was my favorite album, and would listen to it over and over and over until it was all scratched up. I've just recently have become super interested in Nirvana and all things Kurt. Because the man was soooo interesting himself. Was really surprised too that his daughter (see pic below) was listed as Executive Producer. Now you can follow Ms. Frances Bean Cobain on twitter @alka_seltzer666 
Now woah I went through her TL on Twitter and some of the things she is into is mostly dark, i.e. : the art of Henry Darger , author of The Realms of the Unreal - I tried finding the movie based on him on I Tunes/ Netflix and finally found it on You Tube. Documentary by Jessica Yu- narrated by Dakota Fanning. I will blog about this too soon. Disturbing. Anyway, I just went on Twitter to find the handle for the Director Brett Morgan and Holy crap! He just went on a super dispelling rumor rant!!
Bullets please: @brettmorgan "Over the next hour, I will dispel several myths about the making of Montage of Heck":
  • Don Cobain only agreed to an interview after speaking with Frances. This was the first time he agreed to appear on camera.
  • None of the footage of Kurt and Courtney, pre Frances was in the storage facility. Eric, came to my office last winter w/ an unseen hi8 tp
  • Courtney didnt see the film until the week of the premiere and never saw a frame prior to that.
  • There is not a single edit in this film that was dictated by a family member studio or network.
  • We were actively constructing the film in 2013/2014 . From 2007-2012 I was trying to acquire the necessary rights. The breakthrough was FBC
  • The montage that opens the film was meant to evoke the world that don and jenny brought into and that Kurt was brought into.
  • no animals were harmed during the making of the film
  • All of @HiskoHulsing's animation was done by hand except 2 shots that were composited in 3D
  • The soundtrack will not feature any Nirvana music. Its all Kurt. A few unreleased tracks from the film, the rest have never been heard.
  • We first approached Dave about an interview in April 2014
  • Dave did sit for an int. 3 weeks after I completed the film. He was great. But unfortunately, it was too late for inclusion.
  • The film could not have been made without the support of Dave, Krist, Wendy, Don, Kim, Courtney or Frances. Everyone came together for this
  • All of the "score" heard  in the film that was not arranged by Jeff Danna, is Kurts. The guitar under the Frances letter seq is Kurt.
WEW, this guy is either super thorough or he does not have a life. He wrote all this in 13 tweets. All on the same day! Either he was buggin out from all the comments, or he was sitting at an airport and didnt have Periscope. However, going back to the theory of the murder, I did follow a guy that is adamant and vocal about this and you can also follow him on Twitter : @realjohnh 
The whole thing is just sad, can't wait for my 2 books to come in. Will be very interesting.
Have a nice weekend and Happy Mommas day this Sunday

ALL THINGS MR. SELFRIDGE !!

 Ok guys , please start watching @masterpiecepbs aka Masterpiece PBS- I am currently on Episode 3 of season one of Mr. Selfridge. Amazeballs. It has everything, its just gives me life. Its romantic, sensitive and on Episode 3 , Jeremy Piven is with his shirt off and OMG my panties fell off. Dang. He is so hot. And btw single in real life. Sigh.
Anyway, Mr. Selfridge has a window designer a la Barneys NY , and they are always fighting back and forth, there is also a girl that works in the "accessories" department at Mr. Selfridge and Company , she is the girl on the left picture bottom 2nd left- did you get that?
So the guy that designs the windows asked the counter girl if she wore perfume , she said she wears lavender scent. See Selfridge & Co. wanted to create an "in house" scent. And they did, and it was a success. Now since I cant buy the real deal, I proceeded to walk into my local Whole Foods store and purchase the below scent called BLOOM by Rare Essence. I posted pics of the case , its a roll on scent (yes very 70's ) and the ingredients are Lavendar, Sandalwood, and Sweet Orange - YUM
I can't wait to wear this tonite on my date!! I will smell divine darling.
Mind you, that I have Chloe, Jimmy Choo, Dior, but I am excited about this $12.00 roll on perfume!!! Its so Mr. Selfridge-ish!! Wew I have tons to catch up with , they are in the 3rd season. Agghhh I am so behind. Do yourself a favor and watch this !! Miss Lady Mae is very bad ass, I just absolutely love her and if you watch you will know why : wink
