EXCLUSIVE: Because Miss Julie Newmar is timeless… — UPDATED 8/16/19: Julie Newmar turns 86! Great time to re-present this piece from 2018! Groovy. — Dan — It’s the lovely and talented Miss Julie Newmar’s birthday — so it’s the perfect time to show off another costume from the Alfred Collection: Hers. “Alfred,” you see, is an anonymous collector who owns the greatest trove of screen-used Batman ’66 memorabilia that you are likely to ever see: So far, we’ve shown you UP-CLOSE LOOKS at his Robin (click here) and Riddler (click here) costumes, as well as the original Penguin submarine prop from the 1966 movie (click here). You can also click here to keep track of it all. Anyway, we figured that Miss Newmar’s birthday was the right time to show off Alfred’s Catwoman outfit: The jumpsuit and belt are both screen-used but to complete the look, Alfred added first-rate replicas of the mask, ears, gloves, boots and necklace. And that terrific mannequin head was produced by artist Greg Maraio: When you see the whole package, it’s like Julie Newmar stepped out of a time warp from 1966. Beauteous. — MORE — JULIE NEWMAR: A Birthday Celebration. Click here. — Dig This UP-CLOSE LOOK at an Original RIDDLER Costume. Click here. — The Greatest BATMAN ’66 Collection You’ll Ever See.

It’s 7/11! Time for BRAINFREEZE! You may or may not remember, but a couple of years ago I did a piece on the Marvel and DC Slurpee cups of the 1970s. People dug it and it spawned a sequel, as well as a special podcast on the Fire and Water Podcast Network. (Click here to listen!) Anyway, it’s the thick of summer and it just felt like the right time to hit 7-Eleven, grab a Coke Slurpee and again reminisce about those awesome cups from the Bronze Age. This time around, I’ve picked 13 especially nifty Marvel cups, mostly featuring B-List and C-List characters. Why? Because A) Marvel had a ton of cups to choose from and 2) it’s great that they really dove deep into the catalogue. Oh, quick aside: You know how to cure brainfreeze? Press the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It may take a moment but it works almost every time. Because science. Far out. — MORE — The 13 Wackiest DC & Marvel SLURPEE Cups.
