Man of the Moment…
This week’s Man of the Moment is….
Uncle Fester
H
This creepy but hilarious uncle has made this week’s man of the moment. I was first introduced to him through the Addams’s Family movies from the mid 90’s.
I was the huge fan of the movies and did not realized there was a show from the 1950’s and started watching that too.
After the huge success of the movies there was a cartoon series by Hanna-Barbera.
Uncle Fester is the kind of uncle that would either get you in trouble, doing something totally gothic and creepy or he will be the first person in your family most likely to get you out of a jam. Either way you would be laughing the whole entire time with him .
Uncle Fester congrats on being this week’s man of the moment! *Snap*snap*
Criterion: an art form
I am an avid watcher, collector and fan of Criterion Collection movies. Their cover art is one of the many perks of owning them. Here is a list in (no particular order) of some of my favorite covers below:
Lisa Simpson: bookworm
Lisa Simpson and I share one huge trait. We are both avid readers! I may not be as classic in my literature selection as her but we both know the value of a good book!
Man of the Moment…
This week’s man of the moment is the Noid. The Noid was a little claymation dude dress in a red stretchy looking bunny outfit with a big N painted on it’s stomach. The Noid always tried to ambush and tries to destroy pizza. This little claymation dude made me look forward to wanting to watch commercials in the 80’s growing up.
Yes he had a little bit of an anger issue and wasn’t a fan of hot and tasty pizza.
But what he lack in charm he made up with hilarity by his failed attempts of ruining your Domino’s pizza order.
Although The Noid and the “avoid the Noid campaign didn’t last long because in 1989 a man in Atlanta had an assumption that the commercials with The Noid was a personal attack on him. The gentleman(who’s last name happen to be Noid) ended up going to a Domino’s pizza place, and holding two employees hostages for hours and making weird demands. Such as making him pizza, needing a get away care, copies of novels and of course cash.
However The Noid will be forever ingrain in my mind as one of my favorite advertising campaigns.
There’s no avoiding you this week The Noid!
Late night artist’s spotlight
Tonight I’m featuring Pablo Picasso
Unsolved!
Tonight’s movie pick is not a movie but a series.
It was recently announced that season 2 of Unsolved Mysteries is steaming on Amazon Prime! This show (as with many shows) was one of my many TV obsessions growing up! See and hearing Robert Stack’s booming voice and shadowy figure made me feel like I too was a gumshoe detective.
Needless to say being older and watching the second series now I never realized how much of a sharp dresser Stack was! Always sporting Burberry trench coats, shirts, countless turtlenecks, and three piece suits made me realize that this man took his role as narrator with a serious demeanor but always with his wardrobe in check !
Until next time!
Reading Rainbow: Lady.Cult style!
I decided to start a new section in my wordpress on books. I am obsessed with reading and most of the time if I find a good book to read I tend to book binge and read for hours! So every couple of weeks I will list five books that I have read or is in my pile to read that are lady.cult worthy.
Tawdry and classy! I remember walking into Urban Outfitters and this book was on sale for $3! So I decided to give it a try and this book did not disappoint!
