The great Eartha Kitt as Catwoman in the Reactor Mach II (dressed up in fur as Catwoman's Kitty Car), built by the equally great @GeneWinfield #DavesCarIDService
You may remember Gene Winfield's Reactor in such roles as Captain Kirk's hot rod
In that Star Trek role it was known as the "Jupiter 8." The Reactor also appeared as Darren Stevens' dream car in Bewitched
Frankly I am ashamed at America's lack of knowledge about its own kustom show car history
Oh for the love of pete, George Barris wasn't the only show car builder of the 1960s. There was Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Winfield, Darryl Starbird, Dean Jeffries, Bill Cushenberry, and on and on. Apparently I have my work cut out for me as an educator
To be honest I am probably more confused about who I am and why people follow me on twitter than anybody
I don't mind people being mad at me on Twitter as long as they realize they're mad at an invisible rando who has never belonged to, or been paid $0.01 by, any political party, political organization, or media outlet other than Garage Magazine
I'd like to think this is an encouraging sign of a sane electorate, if there weren't so many independents angry at the two major parties for not being nuts *enough*
I'm going to start the Leave Us The Fuck Alone party. It will have no convention, no fundraisers, no mailing lists, and its platform is right there in the name #LUTFA
The original 1950s Mr Potato Head had appendages with sharp steel spikes, and you stabbed them into actual f'ing potato or banana or whatever, in whatever messed-up array you wanted, and then you would skin and eat it afterwards. We were a harder people then
And if Mom was all out of potatoes? Time to play Mr Little Brother Head
And then we'd sniff model airplane glue and throw Jarts at each other, or be blinded by shattering clacker balls, or take a Wham-O Super Ball in the nuts, because society used to know the value of thinning the herd
