Wonder Woman



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....

  1. That's the best Halloween photo I have ever seen ~ totally bewitching !!
    I 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

    1. 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....

      So, you're Superman? Do you change in one of those charming red British phone booths?

    2. 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!

      Delete
    3. You really can see the Cherokee in my face in that photo, can't you? ha.

      Actually, 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....

    4. 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

      Actually 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

    5. well, just because I like cats doesn't mean I want to be one! ha.

    2. I'm sure it's a term of endearment!

    3. Oh yes . . of course it was . . . but not very flattering!! . . . lol

      Delete
    4. Yes, but I like it...it makes me laugh. Ha.

      Delete
    5. Yes it is funny
      That's ok then to call you an old bean, 'me old fruit'. . . . lol

      Delete
    6. No, only Keith can call me 'old bean'. :)

      Me old fruit? What on earth! haha....it's got to be British.

  20. You 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.

    Happy Halloween Betsy :)

  21. If there is a real live Wonder Woman out there, I think you just might be her!
    I 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.

    1. 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.
