Lasso of Truth


I have a special love for Wonder Woman. When I was little, my mom used to whip up a crown and bracelets from aluminum foil, give me some gold elastic cord that was wrapped around a box from Marshall Field's, and soon I would be spinning around, deflecting bullets and lassoing some truth. I've been nervous ever since word came out about a movie, especially when they dumped Joss Whedon. And I doubt any movie could be as cool as Tony Caporusso's watercolor tribute, above. I'm not likely to get a tattoo in my lifetime, but if I did, this would be it.

Love. It. And my oldest wants to be Wonder Woman so now I have even more ideas now!

I can hear the theme song in my head...what was her boyfriend's name--Steve something?

I remember being very worried about the Wonder Woman movie when I read last year that Jessica Biel would star. Shudder. They haven't started casting yet, have they? Although I guess without Joss Whedon it won't be any fun.

I love the story of your make-shift Wonder Woman costume, so cute!

I have no idea what her boyfriend's name was. I think when I was 4 I wasn't paying attention to the boy angle ;)

Tin foil crown and bracelets are the way to go for an impromptu costume. My mom even used to tape on the stars.

Word is that the movie is still in the script stage. But the early casting talk was horrifying. Mariah Carey?? Ugh.
