Gay Marriage is simply access to all the legal rights everyone else recieves when they are LEGALLY married.  This is about equality, not  your personal spiritual beliefs.

OK, here’s the SIMPLE FACTS all you religious zealots:

There are TWO 2 kinds of marriage recognized in the US…Legal and Spiritual.
You HAVE to apply for a LEGAL marriage license no matter what your spiritual beliefs are to be recognized as married by the US government. YOU DON’T REQUIRE (did you hear me…YOU DON’T REQUIRE) a religious ceremony to be recognized as married by the US government.
No f*cking mystery here, no rocket science to figure out.  EVERYONE deserves a LEGAL MARRIAGE and it’s LEGAL benefits. Keep religion out of it!

A brilliant way to get through the gloom of a rainy Monday…I love a good sing-a-long!

Just when you though the Republican Party couldn’t sink any lower, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R) North Carolina clawed her way out of the republican slime pool of bigotry, ignorance and despicable behavior to make this hideous statement…

Congresswoman Foxx, are you living in a alternate universe with no access to facts?  Or are you just so bigoted and hateful that you don’t care?
An apology couldn’t even make up for this atrocity.  This woman needs to resign or be removed from her congressional post immediately.

Gotta love Howard for cutting through all the bullshit and telling the truth.

In his words…”What is this hang-up about gay marriage? Who cares? Get on with your life!”

Big love for Howard - xoxoxo

Blenderella was asked to spill his guts to the lovely Marie Thacker (Founder, Sparkle*Shelf).

Here are the results…

10 Minutes with Kevin-James Bennett

Yes, you heard right.  Those crazy folks at Holly North in Vancouver thought it would be a “good idea” to invite yours truly to represent at the The Canadian Makeup Show (CMS).  How exciting…I can facilitate new levels of  havoc in a completely different North American continent!

Be there, or be square!

At the bottom of this post is a link to a list of people who disgust me at a level I cannot find words to aptly describe.  I feel this way without remorse or worry about Karma because these people have provided money to promote hate.  In a world filled with hunger, homelessness, disease and despair…these heartless people chose to spend tens of millions of dollars to promote hate against fellow human beings by funding the passing of Prop 8 in California.

The individuals or organizations listed on the link (according to ElectionTrack.com) have donated money to the California Pass Proposition 8 campaign which effectively banned same sex marriages and CHANGED THE STATE’S CONSTITUTION (the ramifications of that alone should scare you enormously).  The fact that these millions could have been spent to provide relief to those in need is beyond criminal (and should be punishable in some way).

Please do not patronize them and feel free to contact them.  Let them know how disgusted you are by their sub-human behavior.

The Anti-Gay Blacklist

Mr. Olbermann speaks with dignity, eloquence and heartfelt compassion. He has no agenda, he just wants a clear and compelling reason for such an act of hate against a fellow human being.  His poignant plea for answers had me in tears.
I dare you to listen to this and not feel ashamed that fellow Americans voted yes to this tribute to the Third Reich called Prop 8.

I just wanna thank you California for officially making me a second class citizen…and as long as I’m being seethingly bitter, what’s this I’m hearing about the Mormon Church supplying over $40 Million in funding to get Prop8 passed? Aren’t they the folks with MULTIPLE WIVES…and they dropped that much coin to make sure I can’t have just ONE husband?  WTF!

And don’t get me started on the African American vote…70% Pro Prop8!  I thought you guys understood the lack of equality thang…hell, how hard did you have to fight just to be ALLOWED TO VOTE!
Shame, shame, shame.

Understand this all you religious fanatics and uneducated bigots…
THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN…

So here’s the LD…
I, KJ Bennett, am alleged to be marginally insane (ie; brilliant), afflicted with ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’ and possess a tongue that (when provoked) drips acid…
Despite all these supposed flaws…I remain trustworthy, fiercely loyal and generous to a fault (WTF! When did I turn into Oprah?)

I’ve spent over 20 years workin’ it in this crazy industry and have painted and powdered everyone from celebrities to supermodels to pornstars (yes, I said pornstars…don’t look so shocked)

Through the decades I’ve acquired many affectionate nicknames. I’ve been called “Blenderella”, I’ve been called “Beauty Bitch”…
It’s all good, call me whatever you like…just keep calling me ($$$)

Thanks to the tabloid press, my dirty little secret has been revealed. I can finally stand in front of my support group, hold my head up high and say, “My name is Kevin and I’m a Makeup Whore”.
Let’s face facts, setting me loose in a Sephora store is like throwing a recovering addict into a crack house (Linsday and Brittany understand what I mean…right gurls?)

Many people have also remarked that I become transported, mesmerized and visibly euphoric when applying, designing, developing, buying, talking, teaching or writing about MAKE-UP.
I attribute this to the fact that I love what I do and I do it quite well.

But don’t believe me, ask the very nice people who have bestowed these compliments…whom I choose to believe implicitly due to their frank observations and fabulous taste (not because I’ve paid them handsomely for these testimonials…even though I’ve tried).

I’ve also managed to snag a few important industry awards that prove I’m no ‘one hit wonder’.

In that other life when I’m not feeding my insatiable creative hunger, I’m working out, trying to consume healthy foods (or cocktails) and slathering on expensive wrinkle creams to stay visually pleasing in this youth-obsessed culture.

So that’s who I am, like it or not, love me or leave me.
This is just the beginning of the rants and raves…so sit back, get some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Love you,

Mean it,

NO……….REALLY!
