Two Legends and a Cupcake

Do you remember your first crush? I certainly do. So handsome... so romantic... so agile... No, not you, darling... Gene Kelly!

Gnarlic Plimpton's (octagons Yazimoto) collaboration with Lalu Bonetto from Gato sure does take me back to when that man made my little girl heart pitter patter! Aren't these galoshes and umbrella wonderful?

Of course dancing in the rain is the cause of many a hat's death, and the staining of frocks and coif corruption, but when you're in love, who cares?

You kids can have your Auto-Tuned Glee, I'll take the original any day! Prepare to swoon!

Another pose set Gnarlic Plimpton has showcases yet another handsome fellow - and one of my personal favorites of all time: the great Charlie Chaplin!

This set comes with the bowler hat, the mustache, and canes with poses inside.

I love all of Chaplin's films; they have such a prophetic quality about them. Don't believe me? Watch this:

I don't think the world is quite ready for a Dame Sailor Moon, but if it was, I'm sure Gnarlic Plimpton's Sailor Moon pose set would come in handy!

I imagine if I were to dress up like Sailor Moon and give the Sailor Moon salute, it might look something like this...

What if I were to dress up like Sailor Moon and suddenly be confronted with foes? If there were no bricks to throw, or mace to spray, I'm sure her pointy tiara would teach them a lesson!

Sadly, the 'charity' behind the benefit this post was supporting, the Superhero Epilepsy Combat Syndicate, is a sham. The leader, Epileptic Dreddmor, raised an estimated $500 on behalf of the Epilepsy Foundation from benefits and direct donations over the course of several months. Unfortunately, no money ever made it to the Epilepsy Foundation. When pressed, she admitted this and later it was discovered all the money was gone and she had used it for her own interests.

Many generous people donated their time, items, and money in an attempt to help the Epilepsy Foundation. One person's selfish actions do not diminish the good intentions of those she took advantage of, and I applaud every one of the creators and kind people who tried to support what they believed was a worthy cause.

As for me, I learned a great lesson: never put efforts into something that isn't 100% transparent and honest. If something smells fishy, it is fishy.

I apologize for my association with the S.E.C.S. and urge everyone to be wary of the level of support they show this group and it's leader.
