I would have posted this yesterday, but The Whisper Box was celebrating its 4th birthday by taking a little break from the keyboard.

I have mixed emotions about January 2017. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, but I already knew it was coming.

As I always say, when things are looking bleak, there’s always pop culture to cheer you up. Enjoy my faves for the month of January!

Favorite TV Episodes

1. The Mick, “Pilot.” Taking dysfunctional family to a very dangerous yet seriously entertaining new level.

2. Lucifer, “Stewardess Interruptus.” I would have never believed Lucifer had that many lovers. I knew there would be a lot, but that cast of lovers tripled my estimate.

Favorite YouTube Videos

1. Shy Luv’s “Shock Horror” ft. JONES music video. Shocked and horrified aren’t the correct emotions here.

2. Marcus Butler walked his first runway show. And he picked a great outfit.
