Hey, it's Halloween!
At least for one day we can be be whoever we want to be,
even if it's only in costume. (wow, that's a lot of eyeliner! lol!)
I can even take the "wannabe" off the end of my title. ha.
Now excuse me while I zip up my boots and
step back into a comic book.....time is ticking and I
turn back into a normal Midwestern girl in 24 hours....
♥
That's the best Halloween photo I have ever seen ~ totally bewitching !!
ReplyDeleteI always thought you are Wonder Woman . . . did you do the twirls to make the transformation happen and did you get dizzy ?
. . . and are you looking for Superman ? . . . . . Clarke Kent at your service . . . . !ol
Yes, twirls and all. haha. Actually, I'm going to do that comic book treatment to all my photos from now on because it makes you look 25 years old! lol....
DeleteSo, you're Superman? Do you change in one of those charming red British phone booths?
Eddie - Stand back Clark Kent, you're in the wrong film! I think Pink Cloud should dress in traditional Cherokee costume, then she if if she came to my house I would give her a big treat . . . . .a giant bouquet of flowers and a sack of Hershey Bars!
DeleteYou really can see the Cherokee in my face in that photo, can't you? ha.
DeleteActually, Wonder Woman and Batman go together. I didn't want to hurt Eddies feelings that he was in the wrong movie. haha.
But I still want to see him jump out of that phone booth!
Hershey's and flowers? Let me catch the next jet out.... haha....
I could change in a telephone booth (or box as we say) but Clarke, like Wonder Woman, can transform anywhere and I am never quite sure where to put my glasses . . . lol
DeleteActually Keith has a point . . . . you do look a bit like Hiawatha !!! . . . . lol
. . .and of course Clarke Kent could easily transform into Batman but you would then have to be Cat Woman . . . lol
well, just because I like cats doesn't mean I want to be one! ha.
Deletelol . . . . meow! :)
DeleteYou look absolutely spiffing in that get-up, old bean! Take a bow.
ReplyDeleteold bean....now that's the best pet name a girl could wish for. ha.
Deleteold bean . . . . rofl
DeleteI'm sure it's a term of endearment!
DeleteOh yes . . of course it was . . . but not very flattering!! . . . lol
DeleteYes, but I like it...it makes me laugh. Ha.
DeleteYes it is funny
DeleteThat's ok then to call you an old bean, 'me old fruit'. . . . lol
No, only Keith can call me 'old bean'. :)
DeleteMe old fruit? What on earth! haha....it's got to be British.
'Me old fruit' is Cockney slang as a phrase of endearment. A Cockney is an East Ender Londoner born within the sound ow Bow Bells in the region. . . . almost like another country really. The call a piano the old Joanna, and Alan Whickers = Knickers, Apples and Pears = Stairs,

DeleteYou are a Wonder Woman Betsy, and a very pretty lady. That's a great photo!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet...I really do try! Maybe the tiara will help seal the deal. haha.
DeleteWell now.... I do wonder. Absolutely beautiful as always too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Don. Still wondering? ha.

ReplyDeletejust like Bot...haha...
DeleteOh, gosh... We need to see the rest of that outfit! Funny, this reminds me of a dream I had once, as well as a story I wrote. As for you, you've always been Wonder Woman. And just to set your commenters straight, Bruce Wayne is Batman... Or I am... -- Silver Fox
ReplyDeleteWell, I try... ha.
DeleteYou make a very cute wonderwoman! I like the comicbook look to the photo too.
ReplyDeleteMe, too...it covers up all your wrinkles! ha.
DeleteYou are truly Wonder Woman in my book and this picture simply proves you are prettier than the ones we saw on the television!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween and keep the faith!!
Jane xx
You would make the perfect Cinderella, my dear!
DeleteYou are the living image of "Wonder Woman." BOO!

ReplyDeleteHave a fun Halloween :)
Well, I think you're a wonder, too, dear. :)
DeleteYou look gorgeous, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks, Beautiful! :)
DeleteOh what a perfect outfit fit for you! Love it!
ReplyDeleteJust havin' a little fun...apron goes back on tomorrow. haha. :) How are you, Marsha? Hope all is well with you and yours. xo
DeleteYou look like her. How fun! There's a newly published book on the creator of Wonder Woman and the evolution of her powers. He's long dead but the author was on NPR the other day and it sounds fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween Betsy :)
That does sound fascinating! I'll have to look that up!
DeleteIf there is a real live Wonder Woman out there, I think you just might be her!
ReplyDeleteI felt pretty wonderful yesterday after baking six pies, but today I feel like No Wonder Woman instead.
I haven't done a blooming thing I'd consider productive, except maybe taking a shower.
:0)
You are Wonder Woman, too...I've always thought that. :) And six pies in one day proves it. Even Wonder Woman takes a vacation day after that many pies! Enjoy and put your feet up. Have your pie and eat it, too! haha. I'm sure everyone around you appreciates the shower. lol....if we're only going to do one thing, a shower should be it! ha.
DeleteWhat fun picture Betsy! Love this!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!!
Happy Halloween! Do you have trick-or-treat kids come to your house or do you live out in the country? We didn't have too many this year...all the kids are grown up!
DeleteAlways coming someones.and yes many are grown up:)
DeleteBut still are some littles.Anyway always have some treats to share:)
how fun! I think you truly are a Wonder Woman with all your men, cats, jobs, blogging, homemaking, art.....
ReplyDeleteand you are prettier than the TV Wonder Woman too. :)
Well, that was sweet, Rhonda. Actually, I think you're Wonder Woman, too...lovely, talented and productive! :)
DeleteYou are a Wonder Woman. For those of us who watch...We watch in Wonder.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween to the House of 5-Men and 2-Women. May your Treats be many and your Tricks be none.
Thanks, Jake.....tricks be none...love that. ha.
DeleteYou look beautiful and I agree, that you are a wonder woman! Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI have a new blog, Mildred
I'm so glad! You've been missed! :)
