Icons

Iconic
Sylvester Stallone & Lynda Carter

What does one do when they have a photo opp with Sylvester Stallone and Lynda Carter? Well you photo shop their iconic chracters into the mix with them, naturally.

"Yes" someone got the clever idea of photo shopping Rocky Balboa and Wonder Woman into the image of these two icons, taken where, I don't know. But when I saw this on the WWW I loved it!

I'm 99.9% sure I will see nothing cooler than this for the rest of the week, maybe month.

Why don't we call today Super Saturday to honor them, yeah, I like that. 

Be the Rocky or the Wonder Woman today, the choice is yours...

Super Saturday

Wonder Women

Hello Minions it's Super Saturday brought to you straight outta Wonder Woman the TV series which aired originally April 21, 1976.

These are the women of Wonder Woman pictured on her place of origin Paradise Island. With Wonder Woman portrayed by Lynda Carter in the house along with her Mother portrayed by Carolyn Jones and Debra Winger as her sister Drusilla. 

I was feeling heroic today and wanted to salute these classic Wonder Women. 

So let's hop in our invisible planes and take them straight to the sky and fly!

Freaky Friday

Wonder Woman
Lynda Carter

I saw this image come across my Twitter, I mean X or whatever feed this morning direct from Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. It came with the caption "I am prepared to fight Dracula on this boat."

Obviously this was a tongue in cheek remark because as if the fanged one would ever participate in water sports or dare to fight WW.

Vampires and water don't mix Minions (say that three times fast) - Lynda Carter however is fun on Twitter (I'm never going to stop calling it that, so there!)

So get your Freaky Friday on and follow her, and follow her now!

Presidents Day

Melissa Benoist & Lynda Carter

 It's Presidents Day. Hail to the chief! My favorite President? Lynda Carter...

Lynda Carter, "Supergirl" (2016-18) 
The former "Wonder Woman" star rejoined the DC Comics universe on the second season of "Supergirl" as President Olivia Marsdin -- an effective leader who is secretly non-human.

Enjoy your day off!

Hump Day & Chill

While I love Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, the WW OG Lynda Carter will always be the the ultimate Wonder Woman to moi. 

BTW Minions did you hear? Lynda did a remix with Dave Aude' of Human and Divine which was released in the nick of time for Pride Month!

Lynda had this to say on the matter:

“I didn’t write Wonder Woman, but if you want to argue that she is somehow not a queer or trans icon, then you’re not paying attention, every time someone comes up to me and says that Wonder Woman helped them while they were closeted, it reminds me how special the role is.”

Lynda truly lives up to the WW legacy that we are lucky enough to have her been a part of, she gets it. 

So put on your dance shoes and hit this great remix below, it is one for the playlist!

Battle of the Network Stars

Wonder Woman Won!
Lynda Carter

With all the chaos in the world, today has gotten me feeling nostalgic for a simpler time...Thus I bring to you a memory from my youth Battle of the Network Stars.

The show ran on ABC from 1976 - 1988, it aired biannually and pitted celebrities from the big three networks against one another in track and field type of games.

Lynda Carter aka Wonder Woman pictured above was on a team with Farrah Fawcett, Penny Marshall & Ron Howard. 

Their team won the inaugural games, and Carter won the swimming relay as well.

Seriously though, did you expect a team with Wonder Woman and one of Charlie's Angels to lose? I thought not!

The Quarantine Shuffle

Wonder Woman
Lynda Carter

Like most of us I have been watching way more TV of late. Hey, what are we Corn Teen minions supposed to do with limited options???

Well yesterday while channel surfing I struck Television Gold! "Yes" I was feeling my inner Yukon Cornelius when I stumbled upon a two part Batman episode with Julie Newmar as the Catwoman on, followed by an episode of Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner. 

The thing I remembered most about these shows from my days of yore was that they were silly fun. What I really did not recall was how skilled the actors were in bringing depth to that silliness. 

Catwoman
Julie Newmar

Julie Newmar brought surprising pathos to her performance as the kinky Catwoman, even though the material she was given on Batman was pure camp on a stick, Ms. Newmar really understood what she was doing and how to elevate it. 

Likewise Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Major Steve Trevor. They all elevated something silly into something magic.

I truly enjoyed rediscovering these two old friends, sometimes The Quarantine Shuffle isn't too shabby.

Michael's Musings

Seriously?!
Michael Shinafelt

This weeks word is seriously. What's that you say? I know, I know I have never had a word of the week before. Well this week I do, get over it.

Seriously can take on many forms. It can mean seriously WTF?! Or seriously you really did that? Or seriously you just said that?

I will be addressing all forms of the word in printed matter this week. Shall we play games???

Donald Trump wants to enlist the military to build the wall between the US & Mexico. Ummmmmm...does he realize most of the military is made up of Latin immigrants? 

The Bible, read in the condescending voice of a 14 year old atheist

The Real Housewives of New York premiered last night. The bitches are back!

Went to the drop dead beautiful Lynda Carter's star ceremony on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Yes, I really did.

Hate your job? Try astral projection 

Honestly I am truly disturbed by the fact that we live in a society where adults mock teenage survivors of a mass shooting

The Horror!

Joan Collins is going to be on Season 8 of American Horror Story. Way to gay Ryan Murphy!

Wonder Woman Friday

Wonder Women
Gal Gadot & Lynda Carter

Since I stumbled upon the set stage for the Wonder Woman premiere before it began last week in Hollywood I thought I might as well give the movie's opening space on my blog.

I mean seriously couldn't we all use Wonder Woman in our lives stat? With a rouge President and and uncertain future for the U.S. she is exactly the voice and presence the world needs ASAP! 

Whether I see the film or not, it is getting great reviews and leading lady Gal Gadot has been deemed a worthy successor to Lynda Carter who made the character famous on television.

Also the photo taken at the premiere above of Lynda passing the proverbial torch to Gal put a smile on my face. After this past week, this is personally what I needed, and I feel it is a pretty safe bet the majority of you feel the same.

So this weekend unleash your inner Wonder Woman, and use your powers for the betterment of the world we live in. 

That goes for you too men, we all have a Wonder Woman in us!

Supergirl, Say "Hello" To Wonder Woman

When Supergirl Met Wonder Woman
Melissa Benoist & Lynda Carter

In her upcoming sophomore season Supergirl, played by Melissa Benoist is going to meet none other than pop icon Lynda Carter who portrayed the original and greatest Wonder Woman ever on  her own series of the same name. 

Even if you have never seen an episode of Supergirl Carter fans are going to want to tune in for this as her role is a doozy, she will be playing the President of the United States!!! 

Benoist posted this photo of her and her co-star on Instagram with the caption:

"Met a wonderful woman today"

That's Hot!

Season two of Supergirl premieres Monday October 10th at 8 on the CW.

Say Hello To Wonder Woman

Wonder No More!
Gal Gadot

With all the hype surrounding the opening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice this Friday you would have to be living in your own private Idaho not to know that piece of trivia.

Me? I am 100% sure I will survive without going to see it. Having put it out there, one minor point of interest for me about the film is the first big screen appearance of Wonder Woman.

Yes, I was a fan of the TV Series with Lynda Carter when I was young, meaning I am now old. It was campy fun!

The take on WW in Batman v Superman judging from the trailer is decidedly more serious in tone. It's also providing the set up for the Amazonian Princess to headline her own movie. Now that is something I would haul my ass to a theater to go see.

Gal Gadot, the actress portraying WW had this to say about it in Los Angeles at a recent press conference:  "So I am so happy to be the one who is going to tell the Wonder Woman story. It is such an important story to tell. It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong, super hero to look up to. The more the merrier and there is plenty of room for many more women to come and I am very happy to be a part of it." 

Since I am sitting Batman v Superman out, see you when the Wonder Woman movie hits the silver screen Gal!
