Weekend Onesie: Looking For Mr. Terrific!

Weekend Onesie:
Looking For Mr. Terrific!

In honor of PRIDE month, I've hobbled together a collection of images to illustrate what life used to be like for those who tried staying in the closet too long. It's a tale as old as time...

A cautionary tale, for certain... but don't worry!

It has a happy ending.

As you celebrate this month... recall your own journey, and remember those who came (out) before you! Keep in mind, too, those still struggling. After all... as a frog in a swamp once sang, it ain't easy being green!

Yes, all of our stories are important and we're all a part of gay history. 

And never forget... gay history is real history!

Here's hoping you've found your happy ending.
And if you have, remember to honor...
The struggles and stories of all those under the rainbow!

Oh, you know they talk about you.

Their little jokes. The snide comments.

And... you know the truth.
You live denying it everyday.

Perhaps you fear not only what others will say,
...but also issues in the workplace or with family.

You do your best  to 'fit in'...
And behave in the manner expected.

But you know...
And they know...

Then, one day, you've had enough!

And you come springing out, fully-formed, 
like Athena from Zeus' head.

The world immediately recognizes you...
...as your genuine self!

The 'Mister Right' you've been looking for all your life?
Why, he's been right there, in the mirror, all along.

So, okay... you're new to the life.
Maybe you get a bit carried away.

You're new to the scene, so...
 ...you play the field.

Looking for Mr. Terrific...
Soon becomes Looking for Mr. Goodbar!
Maybe you even gain a bit of a 'reputation'!

Perhaps you even become careless with people.

And then, the next thing you know...
You're attracting the 'wrong' kind of attention!

But never fear, you'll find your equilibrium.
And, who knows?
You may find that special someone, too!

Trust that everything will work out for the best.
And it does...
Once you accept your authentic self!

Weekend Onesie: The O.D.D. (Original Dynamic Duo)

Weekend Onesie: 
The O.D.D. 
(Original Dynamic Duo)

Today, we take a look at the little known story of The O.D.D.

Yes, long before SNL and Robert Smigel titillated viewers with the adventures of that other duo, Batman and Robin had, in fact, discovered their true selves.

Left on the cutting room floor of the D.C. Comics sweatshop, here, for the first time, learn of how Batman and Robin became The Original Dynamic Duo!

It's a true fairytale.

Live an authentic life.
Be your authentic self.
And you, too, will be happy ever-after.

Happy Ever After - Julia Fordham

 Batman and Robin certainly had a way 
of getting to their archenemy The Joker.

And, while not shy, The Joker wanted to 
prove himself to the people of Gotham.

So he decided to turn the tables on The O.D.D.
...by setting a trap.

Of course, Batman and Robin were listening in.
Those two? A couple of real party-line Marys!

After doing a bit of research...

They tracked The Joker to his lair.

The Joker, of course, acted surprised...

But, ultimately, he had the upper hand.
And the perfect opportunity to enact his revenge.

Little did The Joker know...
He'd unleashed a monster!

Those closest to Batman didn't understand
the sudden change in the man they knew.

While others grew concerned
for the welfare of young Dick.

Dick wasn't sure what all the fuss was about.
But one day, after school...

Young Dick crept his way into the Bat Cave...
Where he listened and learned.

Some of the things confused young Dick.
And later, he had many questions for his pal Bruce.

Bruce did his best to address Dick's concerns.
But Dick couldn't understand why Bruce
didn't include him in his little reindeer games.

So, Dick, after completing an assignment, decided 
to get Bruce's attention once and for all.
He'd show the world!

Bruce was incensed. 
Not only had young Dick done a terrible job 
 landing the plane, he'd also managed to do the one thing 
one should never do to a fellow queen in drag... upstage him. 

Of course, Bruce immediately felt terrible afterwards, 
promising never to hit young Dick again. 
(He always did.)

By the next morning things seemed to have gotten
back to normal. And after a restful night...

Young Dick sprang into action!

He put Bruce in his place, once and for all.
Yes, two could play this game!
Now, who was top dog?

In the end (hee, hee), 
Bruce was mighty grateful.

However, a well-timed reminder 
was in order.

After promising to comply, The O.D.D. made their way
 to the Bat Cave and back to business as usual.
On the agenda today? 
Organizing things in the playroom!
