Just Because...

Julie Newmar & Adam West

Just Because I feel like it. Not to mention I watched some reruns of it recently. Here is Julie Newmar as Catwoman and Adam West as Batman from the 1966 TV Series Batman.

How could one resist Batman which ran a mere two seasons 1966 - 1968, yet clocked in at 120 episodes. 

Big names were lobbying to get on there as one of the many colorful villains and from what I hear Adam West and Burt Ward got a lot of shall we say "side action."

My favorite villain was of course Julie Newmar as Catwoman (duh) - she was purrrrfection in the role.

So there you have it! Just Because...

The "Batgirl" Of My Dreams

It's Batgirl!
Yvonne Craig
May 16 1937 - August 17, 2015
As a comic book loving kid Batman was my favorite! Needless to say I loved watching reruns of the classic Batman TV series growing up.

I was hypnotized by the beautiful technicolor and the exotic world of valiant heroes and colorful villains with monikers like The Penguin, The Joker and The Riddler.

There was also a character I loved from the comic books that did not join until the third and final season, Batgirl.

Batgirl was the alter ego of Commissioner Gordon's daughter Barbara Gordon. Actress Yvonne Craig, ahem, filled out the role quite nicely.

Yes, it's true I had a childhood girl crush on Batgirl!

She was tough, rocked a skin tight suit and knew how to kick ass! In fact Yvonne did her own stunts, which makes her portrayal of Batgirl all the more hot!

Recently Yvonne passed away due to complications from breast cancer. Although you have done many other roles you will always be the "Batgirl of my Dreams."

R.I.P. Dear Lady.
