It's close to the Lake Street Target. That's as close to "a friend" of mine as it gets. Oh, and Gandhi Mahal, sort of.

There is a large male following for Jem - JemCon is roughly 50/50 male/female, as are the various lists, etc. But because the various properties are classed as either girl or boy, and Jem is a "girl" property, the boys - and their money!!! - don't matter, and vice versa with "boy" properties that girls also like. I'm…

Yes! I forgot to mention that in my screed above. Love the comic!

Yep.

Well, there's only one fan convention (or if there are more, they are extremely quiet about it,) and it's JemCon (www.jemcon.org), of which I am the founder. We're holding our eleventh JemCon this year, and we've never had more than about 120 attendees. I love us dearly, but we are very small potatoes. We get a few…

And ammolite! How cool would the options for character design be there?

Heh, heh, heh…

As we watched the film, my 26-year-old self thought it was hilarious to annoy my boyfriend's angry faux-punk brother by asking every few minutes: "Are we playing the Game of Death yet?", to which my boyfriend, also quite taken with annoying his brother, answered, "No, not yet, soon."
Then that fight sequence came on…

Well, in my own experience growing up as a woman, there is a baseline assumption from the world around you that your existence is only justified by what you give. Taking so much as someone's attention or time without immediately rewarding them somehow for it is a very bad thing, and if you do that, you deserve…

The creepifiers need to explore Odessa. Heck, so does everybody else. Bonus points for doing so with a vinyl copy in the red flocked sleeve.

It began in black and white and switched to color in later seasons, as was the fashion at the time - glorious, saturated, violently expressionistic color. It looks just like its contemporary Batman, really, including the occasional Dutch angle. The score is very similar, too. Ah, 1967…
