Tonight at Malarky’s, Slow Burn “Albuquerque’s Ultimate Party Rock Band” take the stage for a second night bringing “booze, babes, raffles, prizes & auctions” together with the raucous clang of hard rock topped off with the sweetness of triumph over adversity.
The sexy ladies of the Duke City Darlins join Slow Burn in this one of a kind event where the music and good times are the passion play aiming to slam the lid on “intimate partner domestic violence”.
Join them to raise funds and awareness for S.A.F.E. House New Mexico, who “provide temporary shelter, services, and education for women and their children who are in a state of crisis as a result of physical, sexual, emotional or economic abuse, and to assist in developing other services to meet related needs of women as the Association may see fit in the future.”
It’s been a long time since Demi Moore was a but a child from Roswell New Mexico. She’s experienced quite the trajectile ride from Area 51 to center stage/screen, global dogooding, to gyrating on rappers and her youthful hubs.
But something the Dems ain’t done es una película de Nuevo México. Yes, from the time she absconded to and conquered La, la land, to her infamous purchases of small town America and commendable humanitarian efforts…N. Mex hasn’t seen much of ‘er.
Let’s git’ wit Mrs. Kutcher (@mrskutcher) and ask her when she’s coming home, who does she want for her home state’s first Governess, when she’s gonna make a flick here, etc., etc.
Because we is good people – from So. Nem. to North 40 and everywhere in-between, whose booming film industry could really use a boost from her wattage – a little love from the Roswellian could result in more j-o-b-s which she could help parlay in to more philanthropic ways from we her neglected homies.
Before you hate on me (y’all didn’t even know she did half this stuff till I tol’ you) for bein’ hater I ain’t hatin’ I’m just callin’ a sister back home.
The Dems is currently betwixt Chi-town, Motor City and Gay Paree shooting the sure to be cinematic gold LOL: Laughing Out Loud with Miley Cyrus (who filmed her BIG Hannah Montana movie in her home state of Tennessee…hmmmm).
Maybe Dems, Kutch and the affable Willis can star in the sure to be remade Threesome, N. Mex Style…a.k.a. two slabs of beef with extra cheese!
And p.s. if Moore has any trouble finding us…NPH can show her the way

If you’re going to find yourself in the Los Angeles area in the near future and you want to spend a magical night with NM’s Own Neil Patrick Harris, there’s still time to bid on a dinner for four at the famed Hollywood Magic Castle where you will be joined by NPH himself.
Current bidding stands at $2,500 with proceeds to benefit Project Angel Food, whose mission is “to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses. Volunteers and staff cook and deliver free and nutritious meals prepared with love throughout Los Angeles County, acting out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness do not wait.”
That may seem a little pricey being that it is at the high-end for average monthly income of most employed New Mexicans – but we’re sure NPH will get an even heftier haul from someone with beaucoup disposable cash and it’s so good to see our home boy giving back here, there and everywhere he can!
Unfortunately it is not yet on the call sheet for an actual leading man or woman to helm NM government – though we came close with my beloved El Mahico but alas his tenure is up.
There is a hotly contested run to take up the reigns of our state on the Grand Ol’ Party (GOP) side while our resident Lt. Governor, Dutchess Diane Denish will run unopposed for the Dems.
In case you don’t know who any of these candidates are here are the two Republican front runners and your Democratic choice:
On June 1 you have the privilege of casting your vote in the primary election to decide who will run against the Dutchess in November to become the leader of your state.
Now these are dreads with purpose. Hair booms are a completely green, renewable resource that sop-up the oily slicks of horror rapidly flowing toward innocent wildlife, habitat, inhabitants and industry of the Gulf.
But the booms themselves are endangered because the organizations that are working tirelessly to help ease this mess are coming-up short hosed.
Your sad, old pantyhose can help rescue the gulf coast. We’ve all got or know someone who has wads of nylons in the very back of their underwear drawer.
Gather-up your grandma’s old medias and hook-up with Matter of Trust dot Org for the complete instructions on how to send ‘em in to aid in the mass clean-up required to save our Gulf Coast from the catastrophic (and ongoing) BP oil spill.
And P.S. Calling all NM Alpacas and furry friends. Matter of Trust and Excess Access need all the hair & fur clippings you can muster for their reserves.
Pop-culture trends in fashion and behavior alike have dubbed everything from pink to bitter as the “new black”. Finally a definitive answer!
I’m so brown that I’m not even allowed to think about Arizona, but I can’t seem to escape the topic today.
Thankfully, Arizona Governor Brewer’s bill mandates State law, therefore I am safe from (federal) harassment so long as I don’t travel a scosche to the West – Where the fear of ~socialism meets reactionary totalitarianism?
Federal furloughs have arrived at our beloved State Film Office which will be closed for the day mañana. So you won’t officially be able to challenge Lisa Strout or ogle Eric Witt this Good Friday.
Harry Winston Brooks is open to suggestion to save the terminal congestion that is the underfunded, over administrated, blood red APS ~budget. Tonight’s scheduled town hall meeting for the communal grasping of proverbial straws for ideas on how to fix the school district’s money woes, affecting thousands of students and educators has been canceled. Brooks is asking the community he works for to touch-type their ideas on the APS website, just in case some/one of us might bring more than a bandaid or a sweeping chopping block to the tableau.
The Duke too is announcing his economic recovery plans for the city, and is on record asking that us pilgrims, “come to the table“.
Good thing El Mahico has worked so hard to put New Hollywood New Mexico on the entertainment map, so much so that the Duke has inherited the #1 city in the country for television and film production. The entertainment industry is one of the few industries that is in the black and in fact reporting profits in these here, “tough economic times.”
Maybe a good screenwriter can pen a solid, state economic recovery plan set in the school district – Hey, the Emmy winning series Breaking Bad has wrapped season three. Get them there cast & crew on the task, pilgrim.
So much in fact that our local crime stoppers is running short on funds. In his efficient, effective and appropriate use of media and publicity Berry has so far been reaching into the community to clean out the bottom of the barrel with the help of its citizens.

Call 843-STOP to report a crime or tips to solve existing cases.

Real – Bonnie Hunt’s second season, syndicated talk-show continues the pledge she started in her first season to raise funds for cancer research. At Bonnie’s Basement on eBay where the auctions benefit the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center with one of a kind celebrity/collectable items (as they become available).
Unreal – Khloe Kardashian was on the View last week where she had the nerve to reference her “career” while describing her month long romance with her b-baller “husband” who was so tore-up about being away from his new bride that he insisted she hike across the street from her NYC hotel, lugging that 9-12 karat rock on her finger, to buy a MacBook so they could iChat across the miles. -FAIL
C’mon famewhores even our supreme diva of self promotion did a PSA.
Starz Television series, Crash cast and crew members worked to give back to the city that serves as the backdrop for their New Mexico based production.
On Saturday the group volunteered at Noon Day Ministry in downtown Albuquerque, feeding hundreds at a time when this and most food pantries and shelters are strapped for funds or even closing their doors.
The Crash production has put together a clothing drive to benefit area homeless as well. To donate your time or resources to Noon Day click here, where their slogan is, “Building Hope, One Person at a Time.”
Earn it, be voted it. Say it, own it. Didn’t say it, prove it. As they said back at the plant, “Do what you say, say what you do.”
Last week there was a minor hullabaloo in the local blogosphere and across television & radio airwaves as the incumbent ABQ. Mayor spoke his ~mind and apparently proclaimed himself the most “successful” mayor in the city’s history in a campaign video that was swiftly deleted and rebuked.
Decide for yourself by listening to the audio with 770KKOB Mornings show host Bob Clark as posted here.
And decide which direction you want to take Albuquerque when you cast your vote on Oct. 6.
Global – As seen on GMA today, former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager steps back into her humanitarian shoes promoting the UNICEF initiative “Project Sprinkles“. For less than the price of your daily crack-attack at Starbucks ($3.50) UNICEF can provide a child with 100% their daily allowance of vitamins, critical for healthy physical and mental development, for one year.
On this the eve of the “not-so-highly-anticipated” announcement that incumbent Paris Chavez will indeed run for a fourth term as Albuquerque’s Mayor, we have to ponder…
Since petitioning the Supreme Court to disregard term limits in January 2008, Chavez has been unofficially campaigning by dominating news coverage, garnering headlines, and literally plastering his name and face on city issues and objects on the city’s dime.
Well, the dime’s up on that tawdry peep-show. And now that he’s going “official” the currently nauseating level of Paris Chavez coverage will likely hit a fever pitch. Already averaging at least 3:1 mentions over the legitimately declared candidates for Mayor we’re in danger of being exposed to even more gratuitous mentions of every portly move he makes or makes-up.
Brace yourselves – this “I see you, but you can’t see me” toilet may well be the jumping off point for the sitting Mayor’s campaign (pun intended). Turn that glass around and it’ll be, “You see me, but I can’t see you!” Allll the way through to October.
Is this the kind of transparency Albuquerque really needs? Exercise your vote on October 6th.
