I think we've reached the point where the news of celebrity deaths is reported almost instantly through social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. I no longer feel the need to post such passings here - unless they directly relate to something that I was planning on posting anyway. After seven years - I am re-evaluating this blog and hope to come up with a format that works for both me and my loyal visitors. Cheers and have a great day!

"Confetti" or "When Wonder Woman Met Judy Garland"
From 2009, and in honor of Judy Garland's 90th birthday, I proudly re-present one of my most popular blog entires..."Confetti" or "When Wonder Woman Met Judy Garland". Yes - that's right - for two issues (226 and 227 of her original series) Woman Woman, everybody's favorite Amazon got to pal around with a dead ringer for Judy Garland, everyone's favorite tragic songbird! 
Courtesy of writer Martin Pasko and artists Jose Delbo and Vince Colletta, this epic meeting of two gay icons could only be rivaled by the year Comic Con and San Diego Pride occurred on the same weekend! The sad story goes like this...singer actress Julie Gabriel is infamous for being late to movie sets and for throwing temper tamtrums–but somehow the people, the fans still love her. Sound familiar?
Her put-upon husband/manager tries to talk her out of quitting her latest gig–a film about the United Nations. She shows him who's boss by downing some pills! Oh no, Julie!!!
After evil fire god Hephaestus (the guy with the flaming fist pictured on the cover of Issue 226) causes chaos on the film set, Wonder Woman shows up and saves the day! Afterwards in her secret identity of U.N. representive Diana Prince, she makes friends with Julie, who invites her for a drink. Suffering Sappho!!!
After a cliffhanger, things pick up in the very next issue as Julie rehearses for her big night at Carnegie Hall with her gay choreographer.
After some gay-bashing humor, Julie gives Diana two tickets for her Carnegie Hall concert!
Diana when pays Julie a surprise visit before her show, she gets accused of being "a little meshugginah"! Then she transforms into WW before Julie's eyes! Oh no, anytime Diana reveals her secret identity to someone, trouble follows!!!
I'm not sure if Julie is wearing pants in these scenes as WW compels Julie to give a mediorce performance! Great Hera!!!
And then the big show begins. 
Diana takes Steve Howard as her date (He's really Steve Trevor, who was recently brought back to life by the gods). JULIE! JULIE! JULIE!
Despite Diana's spell, Julie's fans love her just the same, and they begin to clamor for her to sing her signature tune, "Confetti"...but soon the stage catches on fire thanks to old cranky Hephaestus!
"Confetti" concludes, Hephaestus is captured by WW and poor Julie is reduced to a pile of ashes.
The End. Too bad Julie didn't rise from the dead during BLACKEST NIGHT.
