MY take-away from this personally deplorable year of nastiness & narcissism: to love myself so fiercely, that when others see me, they know exactly as it should be done. ;) Photo by: Genevieve Marie Makeup by: Hosway M Ali

Back in the U.S. for less than an hour, only to learn that Barbara Tarbuck ("Mother Superior" from American Horror Story: Asylum) has died. In addition to just plain sad, makes me miss Cuba and not having internet.

New room, with a very different view... en una muy feliz navidad!

Could my mom be any happier watching the hibachi?!? (I could take endless photos of her enjoying herself here.)

My mom playing Bob Marley's piano. One LOVE!

A room with a view:

My mom is a bonafide hit with the bros here at Moon Palace Jamaica Grande!

Here's the thing about my mom: everything is either "JUST WONDERFUL!!!!," or "absolutely abyyyyyyysmal." No in between. Tonight's Michael Jackson show at Moon Palace Jamaica Grande was a 100%, A++, 10 outta 10, standing ovation/arms outstretched-worthy, evidently!

Yah, man/mom! Sun, rum & fun have our name all over it!!

Sometimes... I have the most fun of anyone at the party.

Top (hat) o' the morning to you, FB! Hats off to American Hat Makers & GBK Productions for the awesome, new hat! #1800nicehat #americanhatmakers

#TBT: when "Russian involvement" meant rolling out red carpets & showering us with free vodka. 😭🇺🇸🇷🇺🍾💃🏻📸

2016 just wasn't right without Rose.

POP for the People!

Looking forward to behaving badly again this weekend at The Animal Museum's grand opening, featuring our Fashion Tails photos! (Only this time, with stretchier pants!)

A quick reminder, on this #GivingTuesday, to join me in supporting Planned Parenthood by taking part in GBK Productions' #BiddingforGood Celebrity Gift Lounge Experience. (You can win my bed! Just not me in it! ;))

After this rash of "fake news," it's a relief to see such factual, unbiased reporting. ;)

I'm in a book! Thanks & congrats to author, Jason Norman. Happy Small Business Saturday, everyone! —

You probably didn't wake up at 4am to fight over this a K-mart, but I don't know why not! The Mad Model Party is a lovely gift, which a fan just sent me! Thanks & congrats on the cool collectible, Thomas Steves!

Honestly, I'm thankful for my bed! Photo by: Genevieve Marie Makeup by: Hosway M Ali Bed by: Casper

In light of the looming Roe v. Wade overturn, I've committed to dedicate all funds raised by my GBK Productions #GBKNaughtyorNice Celebrity Gift Lounge Experience to Planned Parenthood. Start the #BiddingForGood!

Before Media Access Awards, on AfterBuzz TV. How I feel about depictions of disability on film/TV:

Talk about inclusion! I was honored to be included yesterday at the Media Access Awards, dedicated to recognizing accurate, complex, and inclusive depictions of disability in the entertainment industry. When he mocks, we activate! Photo credit: Michael Hansel.

Such an honor honoring Jamie Brewer with the SAG-AFTRA Harold Russell Award today at the Media Access Awards; with little Sofia Sanchez (Switched at Birth), who totally out-cuted us all!

I'm woefully behind on "Roanoke," so I can't carte blanche, blindly back this opinion-- but I do appreciate this journalist's call to "just bring Pepper back? Please?"

SUCH a sunny reception at SUNY - The State University of New York, Cortland. (And these were just the hard-core mischief-makers who came for the show, stayed for the all-night Q&A, then just about convinced me to crash someone's dorm for the AHS season finale!)

So many "likes" re: reprising my play-- you've certainly given me a lot to think about! In the meantime, for those who have connections to colleges who might be interested, here's a one-sheet to pass along. Reviews/stills/clips available at naomigrossman.net/Carnival_Knowledge.html. Campus booker, Marty Essen is standing by to take their call!

uper excited to reprise my solo show, "Carnival Knowledge: Love, Lust, and Other Human Oddities" at SUNY Cortland (The State University of New York, Cortland) this Wednesday evening! (Psst! The rest of y'all in college should follow their lead!!!)

Aaaaaand that's a wrap on "Short Straw!" Special thanks to the beautiful and talented Elaine Hendrix (FX's Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, The Parent Trap, etc). She saw me in a gallery, then put me in her movie!

Remember a week or two ago, when love trumped hate, and gays could marry without fear of repeal, and I went to that one wedding that was chic AF?

#TBT: my view from the plane, leaving Stockholm on Monday. Tuesday I was glad to be back, as I was welcomed home to a sunny, 94 degree, LA-day! Wednesday the future looked less bright... though the sun did, in fact, come up, as Obama projected. Today, I dunno... Just reflecting on how much one's outlook can change in a week. Also, I miss Sweden. Talk about Stockholm Syndrome.

Yesterday, before Trump officially grabbed the country by the p#$$% (thus instigating the end of the world as we know it), I had a great time taking the American Film Market by storm with the crew of Point Society. Keep your eyes peeled for it-- will be a welcome escape.

Making herstory with fun, neighbor-friends!

Hmmmm, who would Pepper vote for? (That's it. I'm out!)

Stockholm: you are sensational-- if it weren't for your cold weather and dark days, I'd ❤️️ you to hold me hostage! But alas, I must go home and VOTE!!!
