Roz needs cash

The Wizard World Convention was expensive to attend, especially for us out of towners, and sadly it wasn’t very lucrative. Booths cost a LOT and it’s almost impossible to financially make back what it costs, although it’s certainly beneficial in terms of promotion. Regardless, it’s a drain on the expenses. Hotels, rental car, meals and all…

I’m bringing this up because Rosaline Terrill went above and beyond to attend the convention and now is looking at selling her horse to pay her bills. I hate to see that happen, so I’d just like to encourage everyone to swing by “Orelinde’s Realm” (always linked as part of the MD family) and purchase a fantasy art print or three. Roz’s prints look beautiful even when blown up to 11×17 and would look even better matted on your wall! So won’t you at least swing by her site and check them out?

If you have any fantasy art lovers who go for Boris Vallejo, one of these would make an impressive and unique Christmas present.

Plus, it’s fantasy art. Hot, naked pixies.

Hey, it’s the weekend. Surely you can spare a few seconds. If you’ll take just a moment to e-mail this post to a friend who might be interested in fantasy art, this could possibly spread around the Internet reach enough people to bring in some extra money for a struggling artist working from home while raising two kids. (Three, if you count her husband. Hi, Will!)

I mean, it seems like all the wrong stuff gets circulated around the Internet. Hoaxes about cookie recipes. Jokes that have the headers of ten previous groups of recipients. David Letterman Top 10 lists that are so indented that each word is on a separate line preceded by >>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Pleas to send a greeting card to a dying child who is now a healthy adult besieged by greeting cards because no one knows how to stop that dang e-mail from floating around the web!

So how about e-mailing your friends and telling them about www.orelinde.com? THAT would be something you wouldn’t mind if your mom forwarded to everyone on her list, right?

Leia’s metal bikini

Let’s face it…George Lucas gives the fans what they want to see. (Why else do you think a monster can viciously slash Padme in the back and the result is a fetching tailored midriff-baring version of her outfit?) All the little kids who were playing with Star Wars toys in 1977 were interested in a different kind of fooling around by the time of 1983, when Leia’s Metal Bikini appeared.

Mike Myers keeps doing the same schtick

Someone finally had to say it: The Cat In The Hat talking like Linda Richman proves that Mike Myers (while funny) has a limited supply of characters. It amazes me that he couldn’t come up with something new to do for Cat in the Hat. As soon as I saw “The Cat” doing the same ol’ “Don’t go there girlfriend! *snap* *snap*” that he did as Dr. Evil, I realized Myers had fallen into Jim Carrey territory. (How sympatico that Jim Carrey did the exact same thing as The Grinch.)

Theater Hopper, by the way, is done by Tom Brazelton, whom I met at MNCBA’s FallCon. It’s a funny strip worthy of checking out daily, like PvP and Day By Day. I told Tom I’d add a graphic link to the online strip and I’ve been meaning to get around to that. Until I do some refurbishing of the web site, this post will have to do.

Wizard World Texas Convention Report #1

Considering it was November 26th before I was home from the Texas convention, and then I had to leave town again for Thanksgiving and by then it was a week later, I gave up on the idea of covering the convention here on Monitor Duty. By then, it was too late, I figured. Here we are two weeks later, and I’m getting numerous requests for a report on the convention. Okay, here goes…starting with my overall appraisal of the Wizard World Texas con:

Getting Kevin Smith hot

I guess today is “sex day” on Monitor Duty.

Kevin Smith reveals in the 50th Anniversary issue of Playboy his personal fantasy. His fantasy pictorial stars his wife being seduced by Superman.

This does NOT come as a surprise, really.
