Calendar Girl for Tuesday, June 30th

Clea.

Dr. Strange's disciple/ex-girlfriend, descendant of a race of energy beings, niece to the demonic overlord Dormannu, and mistress of the Dark Dimension.

Also, prematurely platinum and never has a bad hair day.

Birdsong & Balloons: Tallulah Bankhead

Mount Olympus Is A Trailer Park...

...compared to the awe inspiring sculptures of Kris Kuksi.

Hats Off!

I just ordered the above titled documentary on Mimi Weddell (94), an actress who has made a second career playing bit parts in movies for the last thirty years.

Clips from it are on the link below; a wee bit pollyanna grey power, but she's fabulous, so who cares.

Can't wait!

Zelda With A "Z"

Philanthropist Zelda Kaplan, 92.

Queen Of The Citrus Valley Jamboree

I know women half her age (and, ungentlemanly as it it to say, she's 101), who don't make a quarter the effort - you go Lily, with your sugar-spun cotton candy confectionary coif!

Two Legendary Pink Bots

I just came from seeing Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

Delighted to finally see some ladybots in the films, but I was a bit bummed that Arcee didn't get more screen time.

This li'l snippet, compliments of Wikipedia, explains, if not excuses, why:

"Arcee was initially meant to appear in the 2007 film... but was ultimately dropped from it due to concerns of her being too small compared to the other bots, and the fact that the writers felt there was not enough time to explain her "gender" (Transformers comic continuity stated that they don't have sexes, but she was introduced in issue #234 of the U.K. Marvel series to appease feminists - who hated her because she was pink) . Whether to explain robotic gender or not was something the writers were unsure about... the issue eventually remaining unaddressed in the finished movie"

Pussies.






To help even the cosmic scales of robo-misogyny, I also present Arcee's white-trash not quite kissing Gundam cousin, Lacee.

Leporidaeth

Even bunny rabbits have a death god.

Mrs. Molinsky's Top 3

Joan Rivers will always have a special li'l place in my heart, not just because she was the queen of the one-liners when I was growing up, but because she was my father's most hated celebrity; he literally (and without fail) would yell "whore!", "bitch!", or "fuckin' cunt!" every-time an ad for her appearing on a talk show or guest hosting The Tonight Show would pop up.

Which always broke up the monotony of forced family time viewing...

Birdsong & Balloons: Karl Lagerfeld

In which I'll quote The Quotable; from the wise to the wicked , but never the witless...


...unless they unwittingly amuse.

New Canon Digicam Vintage Model Kenzoman 1

Now presented in new chocolate covered Egoscope!

Amabot Robozon

Such is the power of of the internet that I need only type two of my favorite word/things ("amazon" & "robot") into an image search, and a post is born.

It's Beyond My Control

I'd like to apologize to my loyal readers in advance...



...blame my friend Avda Gazbo - it's a viral thing.

Growling At His Own Tailfeathers

The Extraordinary World Of Emily Valentine.

Fahionista's In Disguise

I simply find myself wondering how many true blue Transformers fans wear a french cuff these days... ?

Gepetto Gnu-Gaxzelle Tin

I resized a bunch of my critters for a series of tins to be sold at WILBUR Vintage at some point this summer.

PAGLIAcci Sings

Everyone's favorite - or at least mine - gay man in a lesbian's body voices her no punches pulled opinion on her recent breakup, Obama's response to queer issues (a word I detest, b.t.w.), and the lack of sophistication that's prevalent in the "naval gazing" gay community.

Knight Of The Snakeskin Templar

Not to be outdone by the Japanese, Alexander McQueen designed an ensemble that turns a human into a robot with no emotions.

The Emotibot Revolution

Leave it to the Japanese to invent a robot that displays seven different human emotions, including joy, sadness and disgust.


To express disgust the robot prototype, named Kobian "purses its lips and withdraws one hand in an effeminate manner".


It has soft rubber hands, and is being developed for use in nursing (!); what else to say that the video clip below doesn't:

The Brain With Eight Arms

For all his mental might, it took Brain Boy 3.5 seconds to realize that she'd only stay with him if he belly-flopped her into unconsciousness.


Perhaps The Lonesome Octopus would have had more friends if he didn't insist on attending all of his play-dates in blackface.

Montygog's Art-O-Rama!

While it's the chance to walk through the world's largest comic/toy box that lures me back to Wizard World each summer, it's the (oft gorgeously demented and quite humorless) cosplayers and talented artists that I'm introduced to that bring me the most pleasure.

I just lost - or gained, as the case may be - a good hour perusing through local artist Dave Perillo's most excellent blog, and wanted to post a few of my favorite horror themed illustrations (from a Halloween series he did in '07).
