G.I. Combat #217

I found a used Canon LiDE 20 scanner with program disc at a local thrift store for five dollars this morning and snatched it up to replace my bulky UMAX Astra 2000U scanner. The best part was that it worked so my first scan was the cover of G.I. Combat #217 (Dec/Jan 1979/1980). The cover artist was Joe Kubert and the dollar comic has a total of six stories. The first story features the Haunted Tank in "The General Died Twice!" Next comes O.S.S. in "The Pigeon Spies", a one-page article about the signal corps titled "Getting The Message Through" and then the Hidden War featured in "A Fine Day For A Hanging". The Haunted Tank returns in another story title "Save The Enemy!" That is followed by "The 3000-Mile Nightmare", a sizzling sky-war special. Finally, the Haunted Tank returns for "Don't Sell Your Dog Tags Cheap".

My issue has seen better days since it is dog eared and very worn. The covers are about to separate from the rest of the comic book but at least all the pages are intact. I also have G.I. Combat #219, 220, 228 and 235.

Shameless Plug

Yesterday, I created a new site showcasing some spooky goodies from Amazon at Horror Gifts. Check it out if you looking for an early start to Halloween.

Get Over it-Dress Over It

Skirt-Van Huesen [Bought in the summer of 08!]

Lace Top-Forever New

Pearl Bracelet-Forever 21

Ring - Forever 21

I know so many girls in this city, who are not able to dress according what their style really is, because, well the mentality of men in this city is messed up. I am not even going to begin to explain what all they do. They dont even NEED to DO anything. Their creepy stares are quite enough.

I would SO love to wear nice summer skirts and dresses in this scorching heat. But, I dont. I know that ALL girls would be so much happier in expressing themselves through the clothes they REALLY want to wear, if this creep factor wasn't so high in Delhi.

Its perfectly fine to look at a person an appreciate them. Girls do it all the TIME. But there is a subtly to it you see. These creepy men need to STOP raping us with their eyes. I wish all men who did this were shot in the head. If you do it subtly, it wont make the other person uncomfortable.

Anyway, it`s not like the people who do it-stare and be FULL ON letchy will ever READ, let alone read a blog or THIS blog.

No I did not have a horrible experience recently, I am just annoyed at how the way I want to dress is so restricted, by these uneducated creatures.

Of course Delhi is very unsafe for women, and it obviously goes beyond clothes. This is made very clear every other day in the damn newspapers and it was made abundantly clear when Radhika Tanwar was shot dead near her college on Womens Day this year.

My mother makes a good point- When there is a mad dog or any other uncontrollable animal is on the loose, who poses a threat and can do harm to others, we make sure something is done about the ANIMAL,we restrict IT, rather than locking ourselves in our house. 

Girls from the beginning are told how NOT to dress, how NOT to behave. But are BOYS on the other hand ever told HOW to behave with women, HOW to respect them and what NOT to do in regard to them?

Obviously this is also about the class differences of our society, education and dogmatic mindsets.

Anyway. All I am saying is that  there is a very very long way to go before we can actually reach the level of comfort as maybe people of say, NEW YORK  feel, but maybe we can get what the people living in Bombay have? 

Or Maybe I'am just being a prude and I should GET OVER IT

I was talking to someone about this, before writing the post and she said-"Dress is the first announcement of democratic thought"

Which is quite true. I just want to express my democratic dressing right!!

Oh, and by the way I acessorized the above outfit with a matching dog :)

(not my dog)

Sorry for this "issues of society" post (told you this one would be a socially relevant one) but

I would really like to know what you guys feel about this. Even if you dont live in Delhi, because I am not sure whether what I feel is right or I am just being over conscious.

Women Wednesday: Adrianne Palicki In Wonder Woman Shorts

The Wonder Woman costume that everyone had been waiting to see Adrianne Palicki wear was released a few days ago:

To be honest, I like the blue pant version better.

Cherry Dr Pepper Loki Can

I picked up a case of Cherry Dr Pepper this morning at the local Super Wally-World and all the cans have Loki on them. The store was completely out of the regular and diet Dr Pepper. They only had two cases each of Cherry and Diet Cherry. The blurb on the can reads "Loki, the trickster. A master of manipulation, his ambition is to be feared!"

Halloween party photos, Obama Also Participate

Halloween celebrations in many parts of the world run exciting and colorful. Various people tried to look different with the costumes and masks are creepy and scary.Halloween is held annually every October 31. This tradition originally came from the Irish who immigrated to North America. Children celebrated Halloween with spooky costumes and went from door to door ask for candy or chocolate, saying 'Trick or treat!'.However, this celebration is now celebrated all people anywhere in the world including in the homeland. Everything is welcomed with great joy. They will flock to go to the mall or shopping center to find unique costumes and funny and could attract attention.In fact, the President of the United States Barack Obama and his family celebrate Halloween party at the White House.

Women Wednesday: Barry Allen's Mom

From Flashpoint #1 (July 2011), Barry Allen aka the Flash hugs his mom shortly after he wakes up in a world where she is still alive. Call this a belated post for Mother's Day.

Why You Should Read The All New Batman: The Brave And The Bold #7

The All New Batman: The Brave and the Bold #7 (July 2011) features the first meeting between Batman and the Golden Age Green Lantern.

The Shortcomings Of Being Tall

Bag-Sarojini Nagar as mentioned here.

Yes, You are looking at my behind!

Skirt- Forever New

I really like the cut of this skirt, it`s very structured. Also love the pockets and of course the bow at the back!!

Top- Janpath, bought two years ago.

Black (somewhat) pumps- Vansons

They are nothing compared to the love of my life

So, if you grace this blog with your presence often, you might be wondering why I have a title that seems to  reflect my (apparent) problem with my height. But I am sorry, okay. I have issues with it.

I wore heels..not even full on pumps, just a little heel to a get together recently, and as soon as I entered all I could hear were moans. No they were not people moaning at how amazing I looked.
My friends were complaining and repeatedly asking me "WHY ARE YOU WEARING THOSE'' & "DO YOU LIKE TO MAKE US FEEL BAD?" 

Well what am I supposed to do if they are..well SHORT? I want to wear heels, Hell I want to wear PUMPS. All The Time. I like how they look okay, and they give me good posture.

But no. I cant, without looking like the BIG (somewhat)FRIENDLY GIANT. And yes, this would be the place for people to say, why are you complaining, you are so tall. Whats the big deal? ( I`am 5'8, if I have failed to mention before.)

Don`t get me wrong, I love how tall I am. It does have its numerous advantages. But then the pitfalls include not being able to wear the kind of footwear you lust after. And if I happen to wear them once in awhile, I get all the girls really whiny and the guys absolutely HATE the fact that I am taller than them. Once this guy friend came over before we were heading out for a party, when he saw I was wearing heels, he wouldn't budge from my house until I changed into flats, or anything that wouldn't make him look like a midget!

Anyway, the grass is always greener on the other side right? Girls with curly hair want straight hair, girls with straight hair want to curl their hair all the time.

But I don`t even WANT to reduce my height or anything. Why cant other people be taller. OR why don`t they wear heels as well!? 

Sorry for this incredibly RANDOM and VAIN post. The next one will be about a very socially relevant and pressing issue. 
Okay, who am I kidding? It`ll be about fashion. But no, seriously the two will be connected. Promise!

Is there anyone else who has a hang-up like mine? You really want to wear something/do something but JUST CANT? Or am I the only lunatic that cant be thankful for what she has?

Yeah thought so.

No Wonder Woman For NBC

Kind of a bummer that NBC dumps Wonder Woman without even airing the pilot featuring Adrianne Palicki. Hopefully, this means that someone will give the Amazon Princess a shot at the silver screen instead.

Goodnight Human Target

I have not received any yet in my collection but the characters include Arachnid-Man (Awesome Fantasy), Squirrel Man (Sleuth Comics), Superbman (Superb Comics), Freak Squad, Blue Beacon (United States Comics), General USA and Terrific Titan.

You can clearly see that Sleuth Comics and United States Comics are featured on the Blue Mystery Bag icon.
