Not only that, but he's proudly offending troglodytes! Metal with makeup, baby!

is magenta and fizzy and rebarbative. I think of Paula Yates in her burgundy wedding dress or (more likely) Bette Davis at the "White Ball" in Jezebel.


Awww... you know strangely enough, Bette and I are both Aries suns/Gemini moons! And she smoked as much as I do! And I'll probably be a know-it-all old lady one day, too!

She sure cast her spell on the Elephant Boy.



No no no....

It wasn't me that held him spellbound, 'twas my rack.

*sigh*

that's all the boys care about...

Abandon that (admittedly gobsmackingly gorgeous) young pachyderm this instant then, CB, we were made for each other!

Bette Davis' notes to self during the filming of All About Eve (from Sam Staggs' book):

She wrote the word Drink some half-dozen times, then
One eye-lash and a few lines later inserted a caret and wrote
Next eye-lash.
There followed such mundane notes to herself as Start cold cream,
Finish cold cream,
and Light cigarette.

<bats eye-lashes suggestively at Cherry Bomb, whilst blowing smoke rings...>

Liked the OI!, Elephant Boy, sounded tres gnarly, pissed-off skinhead.
Yum...

But, you know, really and truly, it isn't how it looks...

Hmm. I was thinking more Tanya-from-'Footballers' Wives'...

Off to bed now, anyway. G'night.

wow, um... i try not to form images in my head, but one can't help the occasional image from forming. some of them are much more realistic than others...

cherry bomb- i see a young woman, late teens, early twenties, curly red hair and wire-framed glasses.

ganesh- i see the image of ganesha, all green and opulent, bits of wiring and information swimming all around him.

captain zoom- late twenties, little bit of a clean, corporate look, kind of family man-ish. either that or a early fifties telelvision atomic powered hero with goggles, tin foil costuming and bouncy antennae, brandishing a raygun with fierocity.

those are really the only ones i can think of off hand.

now, since i added to this, i assume that i will get a return on the investment and have my own image figured out... i am afraid, very afraid.

laters,

-michael

I figure Lothar Tuppan looks like Rasputin, the very picture of otherworldly mysticism; tall, long dark hair, menacing goatee, gentle-voiced and very, very calm. And every time he gets pissed off, there's no change in his demeanor; far off in the distance, lightning strikes and vaporizes some couch potato's TV.... and THEN thunder rolls in.

My picture of Ierne involves a nebulous matronly void, long brown hair, stylish art-nouveau glasses and a wry smile.

Captain Zoom, i'm sure, looks just like my local comic dealer - short pepper-colour hair, 5'10", goatee, medium-round build. Though I doubt he has a Batman tatooed on his shoulder.

Mordant Carnival?




The Haus of Timmyheads?



Ierne?



Kooky?



Flux=Rad (without his otherwise ubiquitous glasses)?



Sweet Janey Slade?

I'm a bit more Dementia than Morticia, but you're getting there.

Captain Zoom: a bit Sean Hughes-ish, early-thirties, a quite cool layabout type

May Tricks: I imagine as a kind of insubstantial, mercurial willo-the-wisp type being (actually, this is roughly what comes into my head- honest guv)

Margin Walker: Palmolive from the Slits, eh? Hmmm...that's cool.

I wonder if it's the sepia tone photo that's got some folks thinking I have brown hair. (Ms. Wilde had auburn hair, but mine is salt & pepper.)

I find that knowing what people really look like does nothing to alter the mental image I have of them when reading the board.

You know you have made when a gay couple is fighting over you...

But as I always say, "I´m not a fag HAG, I´m a fag MAGNET. Think Cher. Think Madonna."

yeah. what is it about my gay male friends and their thing for my breasts?

i'm still looking for a term that defines that gayboi love for girls. fagmagnet is quite good, but i want something snappier, because that reminds me too much of "fannymagnet". i want something that makes it into a universal lexicon!

Not all breasts. And, I don't suppose, all gay men either. We make wonderful best friends for the discerning single female, though, apparently.

Fagnet?

That's got pretty ace Dragnet overtones...

'nesh, i didn't say all breasts, i said my breasts

though admittedly, my straight male friend tend to do it too -- but that's not such a surprise for them, since that's how they're wired.

Sorry, my mistake. Just read one of those shitty 'gay men and their straight female friends' articles and still a little sensitive to anything smelling even slightly of that sort of vacuous generalisation...

Sorry, Neshy. I hope I didn't offend - that joke comes off much better in person, and much better if you know me.

I was not aware that gay men had a thing for women's breasts. I thought it was only MY breasts, and only Ganesh. Ah, well.

I know what you're saying about the "gay men and their straight female friends." It IS a bit of a stereotype. That's why we (best friend in Chicago and I) came up with fagmagnet, actually. We liked it.

Anyway, apologies if I was too rude.
