"Slavic Winter rituals - The nuptials of the North Star & Winter Solstice imparted mythological elements to costumes, head dresses and masks. In Bulgaria, the 'kukeri', of prehistoric origin, is a ritual where men appear fierce and often with belts ringing with cow bells and is done to scare away evil spirits. The roles for men were carefully designed to 'protect' and to make fecund the Moist Mother Earth- with honor, respect, and love."

Today Jen Lilley shared an extra fun behind-the-scenes video of Paris Christmas Waltz, which included herself, her co-stars Matthew Morrison and Steph Siadatan, plus, the director/producers Michael and Janeen Damian, and an amazing set filled with incredible holiday decor that epitomizes that magic of the Christmas season!

The video was made in the spirit of the popular Wes Anderson trend. (For those of you who aren't familiar, according to Google... the Wes Anderson video trend has people traveling, eating out, doing mundane things, and filming it in the famed director's signature colorful and quirky style.)

I simply couldn't resist sharing this video with all of you! (see below)

And a few extras...

Here are two more screen-grabs of Danica McKellar as she's filming her Christmas movie...

And... Paul Greene recently teased us with this image of his Christmas movie co-star and asked us to guess who it might be! Any guesses???

Great American Family recently announced "Destined at Christmas 2," and the lead actress, Shae Robins, shared these delightful images from on-the-set...

We are just over a week away from Christmas in July! 

Until then, Happy Movie-Watching!!!

inspo     :     maddy  perez ( euphoria )  ,  naomi  clark (  90210  )  ,  danica  patrick ( race  car  driver  )    .

alabama  ,  born  karawek  at  birth  ,  was  born  to  a  thai  politician  and  his  mistress  .  naturally  ,  the  last  thing  he  wanted  was  for  it  to  get  out  that  he’d  been  unfaithful  to  his  wife  and  so  when  his  mistress  turned  up  pregnant  he  sent  her  off  on  her  way  with  a  bundle  of  cash  (  expecting  she’d  end  the  pregnancy  )  and  the  issue  would  be  settled  .  she  did  no  such  thing  though  ,  wanting  to  capitalize  on  having  the  child  of  a  prominent  figure  .  her  plans  quickly  fell  by  the  wayside  though  when  she  realized  she  simply  was  not  cut  out  for  motherhood  ,  no  amount  of  money  could  make  her  even  slightly  decent  at  it  .  despite  that  she  wanted  the  best  for  her  daughter  ,  even  if  she  couldn’t  give  her  that  .  at  just  under  six  months  ,  she  put  her  daughter  up  for  closed  adoption  .  the  levington’s  ,  a  prominent  hollywood  couple  who  were  sure  they’d  never  be  able  to  have  children  of  their  own  at  the  time  ,  wanted  to  start  a  family  .  the  second  they  came  across  the  little  girl  ,  they  fell  absolutely  in  love  and  the  adoption  process  started  from  there  .  changing  her  name  to  the  name  at  the  top  of  mrs.  levington’s  dream  board  ,  they  made  a  point  to  include  a  part  of  her  given  name  at  birth  as  her  middle  name  though  ,  a  thanks  to  her  biological  parents  for  giving  them  their  baby  girl  in  a  way  .                       

the  eldest  of  what  would  become  known  as  the  levington  clan  ,  life  for  alabama  was  picture  perfect  .  a  close ( enough  )  bond  with  all  of  her  siblings  and  two  loving  parents  .  not  to  mention  the  money  and  fame  that  came  with  her  last  name  ,  there  wasn’t  much  for  the  young  girl  to  really  ask  for  but  that  didn’t  stop  her  from  doing  so  .  known  to  never  really  be  satisfied  ,  she’s  always  thought  there  was  something  bigger  and  better  around  the  corner  and  can’t  seem  to  stomach  the  idea  of  anyone  getting  such  a  thing  over  her  .  call  it  entitlement  ,  if  you’d  like  .  

growing  up  in  los  angeles  didn’t  do  her  any  favors  ,  submerged  in  a  world  were  who  you  are  and  what  you  look  like  was  all  that  really  mattered  .  her  mother  was  the  first  to  jump  on  any  chance  to  make  her  precious  little  girl  the  absolute  best  .  taught  at  a  young  age  to  always  step  out  of  the  house  like  you  were  walking  the  catwalk  .  you’d  catch  alabama  dead  before  you  ever  caught  her  out  and  about  in  sweatpants ( to  be  honest  ,  i  don’t  even  think  she  owns  a  pair  of  sweatpants  ) .  the  world  really  got  a  glimpse  into  how  image  obsessed  the  young  girl  was  when  she  got  a  nose  job  for  her  sixteenth  birthday  .  truthfully  it  was  like  some  sort  of  right  of  passage  among  her  highschool  friends  back  then  .  a  group  of  private  school  girls  who  were  more  cliquey  than  anyone  could  really  stomach  .  

for  as  long  as  anyone  could  remember  she  was  the  most  pristine  of  her  siblings  ,  the  one  who  always  put  her  best  foot  forward  .  that  all  changed  at  seventeen  though  after  a  more  public  break  up  took  place  ,  she  was  left  distraught  .  the  only  way  she  knew  to  numb  her  feelings  was  to  fall  into  the  party  scene  .  she  drank  more  than  her  body  could  handle  ,  sobered  up  with  lines  ,  and  didn’t  get  home  until  the  sun  was  coming  up  .  it  was  a  rather  dark  point  in  her  life  .  the  only  silver  lining  being  she  could  stop  when  she  wanted  to  (  no  ,  seriously  )  ,  she  just  didn’t  want  to  at  that  time  .  her  parents  only  taking  it  seriously  when  she  was  arrested  at  school  for  possession  of  drugs  (   truth  is  ,  the  drugs  weren’t  even  hers  she  was  just  taking  the  fall  for  a  friend  but  that’s  something  that’s  never  gone  public   )  .  once  they  bailed  her  out  ,  they  almost  immediately  shipped  her  off  to  some  rehab  facility  in  malibu  .  the  doctors  there  quickly  realizing  they  weren’t  dealing  with  an  addict  by  any  means  just  a  teenage  girl  who  was  upset  and  lashing  out  .  it’s  unfortunately  a  trait  no  one  has  been  able  to  help  her  unlearn  ,  to  this  day  she’s  known  to  be  rather  difficult  ,  especially  when  she  feels  she  has  been  done  wrong  .  she  will  lash  out  -  violently  ,  verbally  ,  you  never  really  know  if  venomous  words  or  a  shockingly  chin  rocking  hit  are  going  to  come  from  her  .  

after  her  stint  in  rehab  ,  she  switched  highschools ( due  to  being  expelled )  and  being  her  quickly  found  herself  a  new  group  of  friends  at  the  top  of  the  food  chain  ,  she’s  a  natural  social  climber  and  doesn’t  really  need  to  put  too  much  effort  into  doing  so  .  soon  enough  she  graduated  and  let’s  be  real  her  grades  were  good  enough  to  get  her  a  diploma  but  that’s  about  it  .  college  had  never  been  in  her  plans  and  thankfully  she  already  had  a  career  lined  up  for  herself  in  race  car  driving  which  she’d  picked  up  around  the  age  of  thirteen  when  she  started  kart  racing  .  it  started  off  as  her  chasing  an  adrenaline  rush  but  quickly  turned  into  so  much  more  ,  after  her  first  major  competition  as  a  teenager  people  around  her  began  making  claims  she  could  break  records  for  women  in  the  world  of  racing  .  she  has  gone  on  to  proving  them  all  right  with  her  career  breaking  barriers  and  winning  races  no  woman  before  her  ever  has  .  alabama  is  the  first  to  say  the  way  she  carries  herself  on  the  tracks  is  much  like  the  way  she  carries  herself  throughout  life  .  a  women  in  a  male  dominated  environment  who  refuses  to  take  on  the  spot  as  anything  less  than  just  as  dominating  as  her  male  counterparts  ,  unafraid  of  whether  that  makes  her  too  much  in  anyone’s  eyes  or  not  .  

sometime  in  2017  ,  she  was  reached  out  to  by  a  man  who  claimed  to  be  her  biological  father  .  a  shock  to  her  system  ,  not  because  she  didn’t  know  she  was  adopted  (  that  much  was  clear  to  her  ;  and  her  parents  had  been  rather  upfront  about  it  )  but  because  she  knew  it  was  a  closed  adoption  .  convinced  her  whole  life  they  wanted  nothing  to  do  with  her  and  by  that  point  in  her  life  she’d  come  to  terms  with  that  .  he  had  disclosed  that  he  only  had  so  much  longer  on  the  earth  (  he  was  very  sick  )  and  wanted  to  meet  the  daughter  that  he  never  got  to  know  .  initially  she  ignored  him  entirely  .  it  was  her  turn  to  shun  him  from  her  life  --  she  couldn’t  miss  someone  she  never  knew  and  she  refused  to  be  disloyal  to  her  parents  ,  the  two  people  in  the  world  who  chose  her  and  loved  her  .  after  a  few  months  though  her  dad  explained  to  her  that  he  thought  it’d  be  best  for  her  to  meet  her  biological  father  .  she  sat  on  the  idea  for  a  couple  weeks  before  deciding  to  reach  out  .  a  few  days  later  she  was  on  a  flight  to  thailand  .  what  was  only  supposed  to  be  a  weekend  trip  turned  out  to  be  a  month  and  a  half  long  .  she  connected  with  him  and  a  piece  of  her  wanted  to  be  there  for  him  in  his  last  days  .  soon  after  his  funeral  she  returned  back  to  the  states  .  going  back  to  life  as  she  knew  it  pretty  much  without  a  bat  of  her  eyes  .  given  a  sort  of  closure  she  never  realized  she  needed  in  her  time  in  thailand  (  even  though  her  biological  mother  has  never  reached  out  ,  although  before  he  passed  he  did  give  alabama  the  woman’s  name  )  .             

the  tabloids  often  have  alot  to  say  about  her  and  her  antics  but  one  that  can  never  be  said  about  this  nepotism  baby  is  that  she  doesn’t  hold  loyalty  and  honesty  in  the  highest  regard  .  a  true  rarity  in  the  world  she  lives  in  but  alabama  will  fall  on  a  sword  for  those  closest  to  her  (  i.e  her  arrest  back  in  highschool ) ,  she  may  have  a  cool  hard  shell  covering  her  at  all  times  but  she  cares  immensely  about  her  family  and  those  she  deems  her  friends  .  she’s  the  girl  who  is  still  close  with  most  of  her  childhood  friends  just  simply  because  you  never  turn  your  back  on  someone ( unless  they  give  you  reason  to  ) .  

known  for  having  a  terrible  track  record  when  it  comes  to  the  men  in  her  life  ,  leaving  her  to  be  deemed  a  scorn  women  by  many  tabloids  at  just  the  age  of  twenty  -  six  .  her  bad  luck  started  at  seventeen  and  has  recently  been  topped  off  with  her  rather  distasteful  split  with  ford  ,  in  which  the  whole  world  watched  him cheat  on  her  .  to  say  she  is  the  leading  champion  of  the  men  suck  club  would  be  an  understatement  .  she  doesn’t  trust  men  to  save  a  life  and  frankly  she  feels  she’s  entitled  to  those  feelings  .

Polish tradition of drawing protective symbols.

"Kolos draw protective circle with their hands, feet and dancing shoulder to shoulder. The social collective protects and heals.

I call the drawing of symbols, a mother tongue - the letters of the trees. The letters of the trees, tree rings, South Slavic lore, and kolo dances are the South Slavic mother tongue recording all the interactions within the surrounding Moist Mother Earth landscapes. There is no difference between the tree rings or the kolo rings of dance.

Archeologist Marija Gimbutas stated, “Oder river of Central Europe in the west, to the Urals, or even Central Asia as the cradle of the Slavs. The first movement from south Russia to the Ukraine, the Lower Danube basin occurred before some 4000 BCE and the repeated migrations and devastation of the Aegean, Mediterranean and Anatolian lands took place in the period around 2300 BCE.” Gimbutas uncovered the Slavic mother tongue found in vast amount archeological artifacts,”

Spike tv on hulu

#SPIKE TV ON HULU HOW TO#

#SPIKE TV ON HULU MOVIE#

#SPIKE TV ON HULU 1080P#

In the past the show was hosted by a number of people including Danica Patrick and Michelle Spaziano.

#SPIKE TV ON HULU HOW TO#

The show is one of the numerous how to auto shows that you can watch.

#SPIKE TV ON HULU MOVIE#

Recent Hulu originals include the John Cena and Lil Rel Howery movie Vacation Friends, and the new Steve Martin and Martin Short comedy series Only Murders in the Building. Hulu is also the streaming home for FX network, and is the exclusive place to watch shows like Reservation Dogs and the upcoming Y: The Last Man. Powerblock is a television show that airs on the weekend on Spike TV. (Just Prime Video alone costs $8.99 a month.) Amazon’s Prime Video comes included with the company’s Prime membership, and costs $119 a year or $12.99 a month. (Their 4K streaming option costs $17.99 a month.) Hulu’s sister service, Disney+, currently costs $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year. Golf National Geographic (67) MySpace Hulu (45) 20th Century-Fox Studios NBC. All viewers can use the models listed below to watch videos from Hulus streaming library, but they will not have access to certain features, Premium Add-ons or live TV.

#SPIKE TV ON HULU 1080P#

The “Standard” plan for 1080p HD streaming is $13.99. Excellent histories of television institutions include Anderson 1994. Older Apple TV models still feature the classic Hulu app. Their “Basic” plan costs $8.99 a month and only provides SD streaming. David Byrne and Spike Lee offer a first-hand look at their collaborative friendship and how they came together to. ( Disney owns all three services.)Įven with the price increase, Hulu is still less expensive that even the cheapest Netflix subscription. So will the price of the bundle that gives you Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ all together, at least for now. Skateboarder Rick McCrank explores abandoned places with the people who love them long after the lights have gone out. With Rick McCrank, Leon Parsons, Raymond Wrightsman, Bryan Beard. And that’s exactly what you came here for.The price of Hulu’s Live TV option will remain the same. Adlon quietly created one of TV’s most sublime, must-watch comedies about motherhood, aging, and evolving familial bonds. Abandoned: Created by Alex Craig, Jason Ford, David Galloway. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his. We’d say “choose wisely,” but each of these movies has their own distinct voice and takeaway from epic biopics, to war movies, to romantic comedies, to documentaries, to stand-up specials, each entry on this list is distinctly in the voice of one Spike Lee. THE HOME OF STREAMING BASEBALL Stream out-of-market MLB games live or on demand on your favorite supported devices. 1 Season Dan Chase absconded from the CIA decades ago and has been living off the grid since. (We chose to stick to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and HBO GO/HBO Max for this list.) Below, you’ll find your options. Luckily, he’s got 19 movies, documentaries, and series that you can stream right now across the most popular streaming platforms. (It’s received universal acclaim as one of the best of his storied career.) At the same time, it's always a good idea to freshen up on the work of the legendary director from Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Lee’s latest, Da 5 Bloods, is part war epic, part adventure flick, and all fantastic. Whether it’s romantic comedy ( She’s Gotta Have It), thriller ( Inside Man), biopic ( Malcolm X), or documentary ( The Original Kings of Comedy), there’s little that Lee can’t do. And Lee brings his unique voice and special talents to just about any genre. Lee’s voice frequently speaks to the plights and grievances of the Black community not only in his native neighborhood of New York City and Brooklyn, but to an entire nation. There aren’t many directors out there better suited to speak to this specific moment than Spike Lee. From there, Lee has only built his legend, spending the next 34 years making movies, shows, and documentaries-or, as he famously calls them, “Spike Lee Joints,” that are not only expertly made, but uniquely and unapologetically Spike. "I'll be calling you soon about becoming financially involved in helping us complete it."īy the time the film was actually complete, his budget maxed out a sparse $175,000-and the film ended up making $7.1 million at the box office. “I'm Spike Lee and I hope that you liked the film," he told the crowd. So he had an idea-he showed a rough cut of the movie at NYU, and when the movie ended, he took the mic. Candy Montgomery is a 1980 housewife and mother who did everything rightgood husband, two kids, nice house, even the careful planning and execution of transgressionsbut when the pressure of conformity builds within her, her actions scream for just a bit of freedom. Even then, he didn’t have enough money to get through the movie’s post-production period. Spike Lee shot his first feature film, 1986’s She’s Gotta Have It, over a 12-day period on a scraped-together budget from things like State and City grants, with favors from his family, and deferred payments for his actors.

  A guest post by Dr Danica Anderson

Of the few lesbians I have met outside of Sarajevo city, the rural regions have many lesbians who have disappeared or camouflaged themselves. The same alibi is given when I ask where she is.  The universal response is - she has been repatriated back home.   The lesbians I searched for are the ‘disappeared’ and most likely murdered and tortured and raped. I carry the names of lesbians asking authorities (all male by the way) - where did these women go?
