-Pink Floyd 'Sheep'

Nice alliterative title, eh? It took me ages with my nose in a Thesaurus!

So, you’ve heard the craaaazy news, right? It’s all over the place! Yes, friends, Wonder Woman is changing her look, and it is serious business! There are stories in the Washington Post, The Boston Herald, and the L.A. Times to name a few! What? It’s not like there’s anything more important to be talking about. Which is why I’m going to blather on about it here!!

Folks are up in arms about the costume change. Some say, why mess with success. Others say what’s the big deal? Some think it will reinvigorate the series. Others say it’s awfully cold fighting crime in a silk teddy. So what does this new hero look like?

80s Wonder Woman? No..it's 80s REVIVAL Wonder Woman

So, there it is. The amazing Amazonian warrior princess is scrapping her old digs for some new threads. She’s ditching the bustiér that barely contains her considerable cleavage, and trading up for some too-tight black pants, and a jacket with the sleeves pushed up. It’s a daring new look! Except for that it isn’t new at all. That’s really my only beef with it. It’s 1982 all over again.  Seriously people…costume changes are fine, but do we need to buy the costume at American Apparel?!? I hate the 80s fashion revival!! Continue reading »

Today I went to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC to see the Tim Burton exhibit. While the exhibit itself was interesting (where else can you go to see Chris Walken’s headless-horseman cape from Sleepy Hollow?), more interesting to me were the other various visitors to the museum. It was crowded, to be sure! Vast swathes of people were crammed into the seemingly tiny gallery areas which were no doubt actually quite spacious. Some small seed of a claustrophobic nature which hasn’t yet taken purchase was making the space seem exceedingly cramped, not to mention over-hot.

I just have to give a shout out to my good friend Heather, for providing me with my first ever etching! At last, I have the necessary ammunition to lure single, footloose and fancy-free young ladies to my evil lair humble domicile. I can’t count the number of times I strolled down my block with young, lusty lasses only to have them excuse themselves after my previous offer of coming up to “see my Air Supply poster.”

I thought long and hard recently about upgrading to a full wall-sized Journey poster, but feared that my miserly budget wouldn’t allow it. Now I can relax, iron out my smoking jacket, mix up a Tom Collins, and revel in my bachelorhood at last! Thanks to Heather’s fine gift, my dating future is assured. I’m sure my sex life will see the fruits of this classy purchase in no time! Thanks, Hettie!
