It was about three days after starting this blog I realized there was an intrinsic flaw in it. I was at the drug store picking something up and I realized there was no way to make a decent entry called, “The redhead in the sweatshirt and tights picking up some aspirin off the bottom shelf”. At least not in a way that wasn’t very creepy and visually uninteresting. It will be rare for me to run into someone I can google and thus make an entry about. Of course, it has happened. When I was about 20 I almost walked right into Lynda Carter. I was charming of course, I stood there, I kind of stared and then after a moment I stammered, “You’re Wonder Woman”. She nodded, smiled politely and moved on. I am pretty sure she still thinks about that day, too. All of this is a round about way to mention that I have had a crush on Wonder Woman since I was 3 years old. I thought she was pretty on Super Friends, I would scamper in front of the TV to watch reruns of her TV Show and sigh wistfully. What makes her appealing to a young boy and and adult? I think it’s the strength of the character, her moral resolve and steadfastness mixed with the fact that she just seems better than most people. There is something attractive about someone you can look up to. Whatever the reason, there is something magic to those childhood crushes sometimes and even years later you pause and look and get it and that’s why today I want to fuck Wonder Woman.
