Heard about this strike but don't really understand what it's all about (other than no Daily Show right now)? Then I urge you to read this. Pamie, you are what I like to call a FANTASTIC WOMAN! You know that I feel this way about you already, but seriously dude. What you wrote made me emotional. It also made me want to ride out there on a blazing stallion (by blazing I mean that my horse would have flames on his flanks) and be your 2nd security guard. The one named "Snipa". Keep fightin'.
I am a longtime fan of Leslie Hall and her brand of bedazzled "Jellybean Jet Style". I came across Leslie's Gem Sweater website a few years ago and was transfixed by her dead gaze, oversize glasses, and billowy beauty filling out several 80's style bedazzled sweaters. I didn't know who she was or what she was selling, but I spontaneously shouted, "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!"
I'm proud to showcase the creative genius that is Leslie Hall as the first choice in my new category here on Verbose Coma entitled FANTASTIC WOMAN! Just to clarify, a FANTASTIC WOMAN! must have some or all of the following attributes:
1. SMARTS! Be they book, street, or spirit.
2. HEARTS! Simply, passion.
3. ART! She has to create and communicate using the following formula: Smarts + Hearts = Art.
4. NO DARTS! That means she doesn't throw them. Literally or figuratively.
Leslie Hall is the epitome of a FANTASTIC WOMAN! because she continues to attract legions of adoring fans by marching to her own beat-box beat while shimmying comfortably in gold spandex pants. She reminds you to wear what you like and be true to who you are even if people don't get it. And she wants you to laugh both at and with her (which you will). Relying solely on the power of the internet to spread her brand of brilliantly bizarre music and art, Leslie is making a name for herself the nontraditional way. And that, my friends, MUST be saluted.
I urge you to check out Leslie's style of hip-hop electronic music with her band Leslie and the Lys. Don't forget to watch some of the videos shot spontaneously on suburban streets where passersby clearly have no idea how to digest this pink spandex clad confection. Hilarious! Oh, and um, who doesn't love a song about Willow?
Leslie Hall, you are a FANTASTIC WOMAN!
