People Are Afraid Because We Are Now Living In “The Deathly Hallows”

(L-r) JAMES PHELPS as Fred Weasley, RUPERT GRINT as Ron Weasley, CHRIS RANKIN as Percy Weasley, EMMA WATSON as Hermione Granger, JULIE WALTERS as Molly Weasley and GEORGE HARRIS as Kingsley Shacklebolt in Warner Bros. PicturesÕ fantasy adventure ÒHARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS Ð PART 2,Ó a Warner Bros. Pictures release.

Waking up in “Day 6 of Trump America” hurts just as much as Day 1. The grief, the mourning, the tears and the anger come in waves…swelling in the shallows while we wade and wallow, and crash into the rocks (and our tear ducts) that we thought America’s foundation was laid upon. With each new tide, we’re left feeling crumbled, drowning in pools of anxiety, riddled with anger, and numb to the sobering reality that this is the direction our country has decided to drive her ship towards.

705811

I, along with 8K-10K (plus) protestors (peaceful, I might add! Literally the LAPD were shaking protestors hands) marched from MacArthur Park to the Federal Buidling in DTLA because we don’t accept this reality. Not because we’re “poor sports” or “whining losers,” but because 1) we won’t call him our president (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named), and 2) we are afraid for our lives.

14991434_10108548249306800_2978485747008098497_o

Overcome with pride in our strength in numbers, I couldn’t help but feel saddened and defeated at the end of the march. I wish this energy had gone into Election day. I wish more than 53% of our country voted. I wish people I love deeply wouldn’t belittle my fears, why I protest, and let’s be real: voted for him. He’s LITERALLY building a team of death eaters. How can you not see this? Trying to find solace off my political activism, I watched the final Harry Potters for the umpteenth time and once consumed by the magic of it all, it’s almost like watching a horror movie now because the similarities are just too much to wrap my head around. Check out my breakdown and see if you’ll still be asking me why I’m afraid.

Trump aka He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

trump
Don’t tell me I’m over-reacting. I don’t give a shit if he’s “America’s biggest stunt queen,” he bore open this Hellmouth of hate and gave people (death eaters) the “freedom” to demonstrate extreme acts of racist, islamaphobic, and homophobic violence towards others in under a week’s time.

This is what y’all Trump voters let happen on Tuesday night by the way:

TERRIFYING.

*Honorable mention: I WAS going to say Trump was Peter Pettigrew because (well, duh):

harry-potter-villain-peter-pettigrew
But I didn’t want to mince my literary options (don’t worry, I’ve got a good one for KellyAnne). And because “Trump” now symbolizes the hate that has been awoken in America, he HAS to be Voldemort.

Pence aka Bellatrix

bellatrix
Yes, I’m comparing this “nasty witch” to Pence because every time her name popped up in the books, I would get black out rage. She was Voldemort’s most loyal servant, escaped Azkaban and spat her pure-blood rhetoric as if it was considered normal. Pence is the most dangerous anti-LGBT politician in history. He wants to repeal gay marriage, fine and charge gay married couples for up to 18 months in prison, stop funding HIV and AIDS prevention and research, and use tax money to send gays to conversation therapy camps to “pray the gay away.”

I ACTUALLY. CAN’T. EVEN.

If Pence feels this way about LGBTQ people, does this look so far from fiction anymore?:

Let’s pray that this fucker ends up like Bellatrix. Calling on Molly!

Melania Trump aka Nagini

nagini
I mean, do I have to say more?

KellyAnne Conway aka Dolores Umbridge

dolores

This little troll (which one, amirite?), KellyAnne Conway made a statement today that anti-Trump supporters “better watch what you say.” Hmm…abusing people’s fear with more fear? HOW LOGICAL. She’s Dolores Umbridge because Umbridge built her career on fear, hating Muggle-born wizards and witches, and believed wholeheartedly in the Ministry’s slogan at the time “you have nothing to fear, as long as you have nothing to hide.”

Let’s hope she ends up in the Forbidden Forest!

Bannon is Grindelwald

bannon
Gellert Grindelwald was considered one of the most dangerous dark wizards of all time. He lead a Wizarding revolution to end the International Statute of Secrecy and creating a benevolent global order led by powerful witches and wizards to dominate Muggles. Grindelwald stole the Elder wand (the most powerful wand in the world) to cheat death and abuse the power that he was drunk off of. How fitting? Bannon was just named Trump’s White House Chief Strategist and he is one of the most notorious anti-semites. We should all be very afraid.

Let’s hope he ends up in Azkaban like Grindelwald:

grindelwald_and_voldemort
Trump Supporters Who Say “Stop Protesting Because You Lost” aka Malfoy Manor

malfoys-weasleys-vs-malfoys-16152017-448-279
Don’t tell me how I’m suppose to act right now!!! Are you fucking kidding me?! I’m allowed to exercise my right to use my voice when I don’t agree with something. You have to have some “pure-blood privilege” to criticize ANYBODY peacefully protesting out of fear for their lives/rights. Shame on you.

Hillary Supporters and Anti-Trump Protesters aka Dumbledore’s Army

feb5735dd229e4d8eec22b662d9445ba61aff01485f8300bf0c534e458ae8c85
The minute Harry appears back at Hogwarts before the final battle…it gave Dumbledore’s Army a symbol of hope. Clinton gave her concession speech and now it’s our time to rise up. Show minorities that you care. Get involved. Support organizations that believe in the future we all thought we would wake up to this past Wednesday.

harry-potter-deathly-hallows-epilogue
In the words of Dumbledore, “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times. If one only remembers to turn on the light.”

tumblr_m6tr0h1zby1raz0y9o1_500-1419769586
I’ll leave you with this, now that shit has truly turned into the final Harry Potter book, are you going to stand on the side of GOOD…

Or EVIL?…

I was nine when the animated version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991, and my little sister and I loved it! My favorites were Lumière the candelabra and Mrs. Potts & Chip the teapot & teacup respectively. So I was really excited to see what they were going to look like and act like in the live-action adaptation. Unfortunately, I wasn’t too impressed when I watched the first trailer for the movie today. What do you guys think?

Mimi Imfurst to Huffington Post: “I First Did Drag In Church!”

screen-shot-2016-11-15-at-12-09-42-pm

Mimi Imfurst talked to Michael Cook for the Huffington Post about being crowned Miss’d America and bringing the crown back to Philadelphia. She also spilled the T on her FIRST EVER time in drag, and it happened to be at church!

She told the Huffington Post:

Believe it or not the first time I ever did drag was for church. The theme at Vacation Bible School was “under cover agents for Christ.” I was eight years old or so, and my brother and I dressed in drag as former, elderly, beauty pageant queens. Of course, back then I don’t know if I really knew that what I was doing was “drag”, but that was my first experience doing it.

A Celebration of “Dick”: The Underrated Political Satire That Will Inspire You Right Now

855f29fe0d0c1e5a8620cbc6aac47246-1

It’s hard to imagine that just ONE week ago we were heading to our polling places (well, 53% of us…SMDH), and casting our ballots (some Voldemort’s dark mark, let’s be honest), to a promising future with her. In one night, our hopes and dreams were shattered, leaving us destitute, angry, and well, terrified. I know you’re hurting because I am too. With each new member “the orange one” assigns to his transitional team, it feels like a personal attack on all of us. We all here at World of Wonder Productions are in mourning and we want you to know how we want to be there for you during this difficult time. So I wanted to inspire with one of my favorite Kiki movies: Dick! You know, the underrated political satire about Watergate? Well, I recently rewatched it and it gave me loads of activism motivation (and fashion, because duh!)  during this loss we are all experiencing.

Check it out and what take-aways you can implement in your life right now from Betsy and Arlene:

5) We can’t control everything, but we can control how we dress.

9678680
I don’t know about you but I’ve been a hermit fetal-sized ball of tears and Thai take-out for a week now. I honestly text one of my girlfriends every day saying “I’ll go to the gym tomorrow” and I fail every morning. When Betsy and Arlene are faced with the harrowing terror of Nixon’s administration – especially once they turn on them – they never didn’t look on point.

tumblr_nwiuz3f72u1up42jgo1_500

In times of stress, turning to fashion is sometimes the only way to make sense of the crazy little, big, world we live in.

tumblr_nwizdvmhk81up42jgo6_500
So even if you’re dying inside, there’s never not a good reason to put your best velvet choker forward:

tumblr_nwizccqakn1up42jgo5_500
When faced with adversity, sometimes giving yourself a fresh haircut, or a new set of shades will make you feel better. Again, it doesn’t solve Trump’s hateful rhetoric, but a little retail therapy and a fresh chop can make you feel a little more at ease.

tumblr_nwizdvmhk81up42jgo4_500tumblr_nwizdvmhk81up42jgo1_500
4) Go Green (if you know what I mean…)

tumblr_nr1m6maycj1tit364o2_1280
Well, if you’re in California at least. The legalization of marijuana might really help chill you out amidst the chaos that “Trump’s America” aka the ninth circle of hell has opened. Now, I’m not saying to pass the peace pipe all day, because what did Cher Horowitz teach us:

gallery-1468850501-clueless-quote-6

It DOES have a way of bringing people together:

3) Be with your friends right now.

tumblr_lj70vlxfsy1qd9e6jo1_r1_500
I’m normally someone who can straight up entertain myself all the time, I like “me” time after a long day at the office. Netflix, wine, making clothes, styling a wig, the list goes on…but right now, I need to be around my friends and family.

tumblr_nwizdvmhk81up42jgo3_500

Having conversations about it only helps NOT normalize the hate rhetoric and white supremacy that is happening every single day.

2) Talk the truth.

kirsten-dunst-in-dick-kirsten-dunst-24285699-1280-720
The holidays are almost coming up. Just breathe and face it: you’re going to have to talk to family members who voted for Trump. Having an open and honest discussion about how you don’t support evil is the only way the healing will begin and hopefully those family members will see your side (feel crazy guilty/stupid).

1) Get active.

DICK, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, 1999

Here’s a list of all the organizations you can support right now so that “the orange one” doesn’t take our rights away from us! Donate! Go to a peaceful protest. Make your voice loud!

Be peaceful. Keep your hope. And continue to fight the good fight!

060417-N-8157C-162 Hawaii (April 17, 2006) – The American flag flies prominently during the World Patriot Tour performance at Hickam Air Force Base. This is the last show for the World Patriot Tour. The tour started in early April and included concerts for service members and their families in Turkey, Japan, Korea, three deployed locations in Southwest Asia and Hawaii. The performers traveled more than 26,000 miles on Military Airlift Command flights in just under two weeks. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Dennis Cantrell (RELEASED)

Emily Ellsworth – who worked in the district offices of Republican congressmen from Utah Jason Chaffetz and Chris Stewart, yet still supported Hillary Clinton during the election – recently left a series of tweets explaining why phoning your congressman or congresswoman is the most effective way of getting them to listen to you.

Emily told CNN:

Like a lot of people, I’ve been reeling from the election, so I thought people might like to know how you mobilize and activate individual communities to reach each member of Congress. I just thought I have this knowledge, and I did this for six years, and it’s probably important for people to know what those specific actions are.

Tinder also teamed up with WOWlebrity, producer, and trans advocate Andrea James who said:

Jonny Donahoe stars in the one-man play that recounts a life well lived in spite of a looming history of family suicide. The HBO documentary, “Every Brilliant Thing” made it’s world premiere this past Saturday at DOC NYC festival to rave reviews in the Big Apple and now the cable network has announced the premiere date for December 26th at 8PM ET.

Check it out:

every_brilliant-1000x553
Olivier Award nominee Duncan Macmillan’s play, critically acclaimed in London, Edinburgh, and New York, was directed Off-Broadway by George Perrin. Jonny Donahoe starred in the one-man play, which was filmed at the Barrow Street in 2015.

Emmy winners Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (Inside Deep Throat; HBO’s Wishful Drinking and Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures) produced and directed the film, which made its world premiere at the DOC NYC Festival November 12 at IFC Center.

Every Brilliant Thing, according to HBO, “opens as Donahoe greets the arriving audience with handwritten notes instructing them to participate when called upon. He then proceeds to tell a story spanning nearly three decades and several life-changing events, evoking laughter and tears in equal measure. Donahoe charms spectators into acting opposite him in various roles, fostering an intimate sense of community through comic dialogues. Striking a delicate balance between sobering loss and cathartic laughter, the film doesn’t flinch from harsh realities, as Donahoe muses on everything from Marilyn Monroe’s death, to the Samaritans’ rules for reporting on suicide, which highlight everything the media typically gets wrong.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 winner, Jinkx Monsoon, and Book of Mormon’s Gavin Creel are slated to perform at NOCCA this holiday season. For Creel, he’ll perform on December 15th, 2016 at 7:30PM while Monsoon will bring the smash hit show “The Vaudevillians” with cohort Major Scales on January 14, 2017 at 7:30 PM.

Check out where to get tickets!

Gavin Creel most recently starred in the Broadway revival of “She Loves Me” this past season. He won the 2014 Olivier Award and the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Actor In A Musical for his starring role in London’s West End production of “The Book of Mormon” in the role of Elder Price. Of his Tony-nominated role as Claude in the smash hit Broadway revival of “Hair,” the New York Times hailed him as “the pure-voiced Gavin Creel,” the Associated Press noted that “Gavin Creel, besides possessing a powerhouse voice, brings a sweet-tempered poignancy to Claude.” Just three years after graduating from the University of Michigan, Creel was cast in his first Broadway show – “Thoroughly Modern Millie“- as Millie’s (Sutton Foster‘s) love interest Jimmy Smith. He received his first Tony nomination for his performance. He also appeared on Broadway in the revival of “La Cage aux Folles” as Jean-Michel, as well as the Goodman Theatre/Kennedy Center production of “Bounce,” American Repertory Theater’s premiere of the new rock musical “Prometheus,” the New York concert versions of “Hair” and “Bright Lights, Big City,” and on London’s West End in “Mary Poppins” and “Hair.” On television he has been featured with Julie Andrews in “Eloise at the Plaza” and “Eloise at Christmastime.” His studio recordings include GoodTimeNation, Quiet, Get Out and the single ‘Noise’.

Jinkx Monsoon‘s recent off-Broadway hit “The Vaudevillians” was a critical smash hit, about which the New York Times raved “Straight or gay, everyone leaves this show with sides aching from laughter” and called it “a pure delight,” while other press hailed it as “comedic genius” (Show Business Weekly), “hilarious” (BroadwayWorld), and “intelligent and entertaining” (TheaterMania). Even RuPaul proclaimed the performance “a triumph!” Jinkx is the creation of Jerick Hoffer, a native of Portland, Oregon and a graduate of Cornish College in Seattle. It was at Cornish as a fifteen-year-old theater major that Hoffer traces the early manifestations of Jinkx Monsoon, whom he refers to as a “zany, off-the-wall, irreverent, gorgeous anachronism.” In 2006, Hoffer made the Guinness World Records as lead dancer in the world’s largest drag queen chorus line. By 2012, the young performer was starring at top Seattle theaters – Moritz in “Spring Awakening” (Balagan Theatre), Angel in “Rent” (The 5th Avenue Theatre), and most recently, Hedwig in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” with the Seattle Theatre Group. Extraordinarily real, some audiences have not yet decided whether Jinkx is a woman or a drag queen. Combating humble beginnings, struggling for social status, raising a homosexual son striving for fame as a comedian, this well-developed character has attained more than acclaim, but a life of her own.

Here’s Why “Million Dollar Listing: LA’s” David Parnes And Josh Flagg Had Multiple Nose Jobs

The boys of Million Dollar Listing: LA have never been shy about being themselves. Whether it’s selling multi-million dollar homes or picking the perfect suit, they tell it like it is. Even when it comes to their physical appearance standards. David Parnes and Josh Flagg spoke with People about having had multiple nose jobs and they explain why they went under the knife ahead of this Thursday’s all new episode on Bravo at 9/8C.

Check it out:

MILLION DOLLAR LISTING LOS ANGELES -- Season:6 -- Pictured: Josh Flagg -- (Photo by: Adam Olszewski/Bravo)

“It wasn’t vanity. The first one I had for a deviated septum,” he said on last Thursday’s episode of What What Happens Live. “The second one was because the doctor didn’t do such a good job. And the third one was because it wasn’t perfect. But now, I think it’s a very good nose.”

I probably should have never have gotten it done in the first place. My nose was never perfect, but it wasn’t that bad,” he says on the show. “It kind of built up a lot of scar tissue inside. And it did genuinely affect my breathing.”

“I am happy with the cosmetic results, but more importantly I am grateful that I can breathe without any internal obstructions,” Parnes previously told PEOPLE. “Everyone seems to like it. So far I haven’t received any negative feedback, and I appreciate that.”

“Conduct extensive research to find a surgeon who is board certified, and a specialist in rhinoplasty,” he said. “Ask to see before and after photos, and speak to some former patients for a reference. I regret having the initial procedure because it led to more problems that needed to be corrected. This is a major surgery and not to be taken lightly.”

Living legend Kirsen Caroline Dunst is in the land of Mardi Gras, New Orleans, along with Nicole KidmanElle Fanning and Colin Farrell shooting Sofia Coppola’s new project “The Beguiled.” This marks Dunst’s FOURTH collaboration with Coppola and Fanning’s second and tells the story “a Union soldier (Farrell) held captive in a Confederate girl boarding school, whom begins to con himself to each of their hearts.” Production began shortly after Halloween weekend and Dunst just shared a behind-the-scenes picture from set.

Scandal RuVealed: We Know What Mike Pence Typed Last Summer

If  you’re asking yourself, “Self, why does Mike Pence look like Senator Robert Kelly from X-Men?” Than you should pat your self-asking self on the shoulder for pointing out the obvious because yes, he DOES look like the mutant-registering-politician-asshole-turned-blob. This rare species of hatred ALSO looks like a cross between a donut hole and a cat’s anus, but I digress. If last Wednesday morning has taught us anything, it’s that truth is stranger than fiction, and I don’t say that lightly. With the announcement of Steve Bannon joining Trump’s “pure-blood” squad, we are actually now living in the Deathly Hallows. Pence tried every effort to drop the mic on Hillary’s “e-mail scandal,” but wait, now he’s in a digital pickle of his own? He’s decided to withhold info from a public records request. Very peculiar, donut-face…

Well, have no fears (actually, have a lot of them because I do too), we have uncovered a few of his e-mails and they are as shocking as any anti-LGBTQ zealot with a keyboard could imagine!

Check it out:
The following are as offensive as you can imagine so brace yourselves, hunties…

Speaking of “authors,” check out what he wrote to his book club:

Speaking of book clubs, he even corresponded with the queen of book clubs, Oprah:

He even went as far to reach out to JK Rowling for advice:

For someone who hates LGBTQ people so much, who knew he watched Drag Race?

Strange that he asked Trump about the dark mark, because he could’ve just asked the Dark Lord as revealed in this e-mail:
