I’m not a huge sports fanatic. In fact, I have no idea who Tony Parker is, but he’s cool in my book for this:

He and his wife Eva Longoria recreated Summer Lovin’ with their friends and a couple mascots. Please note the straight from the closet costumes and the delightfully cheesy wigs.

He encourages all of you to create your own homespun musical numbers for a chance to attend a Spurs game before the 2010 Playoffs. The deadline is January 31, so get filming! Good luck!

Dragon Con 2009 is in one week. That’s right, Labor Day weekend is almost upon us. I won’t be doing daily posts like last year, but you’ll find a recap or two here in the following weeks (maybe not by me). Here’s a commercial just in case you don’t know about Dragon Con.

My biggest gripe with this ad is the treatment of Anthony Daniels. He’s just C3P0? Anthony Daniels is by far the best emcee I have seen at the Masquerade. D*C TV, you should have been nicer to mister Daniels. He deserves a name check.

Do you watch Always Sunny in Philadelphia? It’s not for everyone, children for example, but there are moments of pure comedy gold in the FX sitcom.

One such nugget is Day Man. Charlie, the creator of Day Man and Night Man, is an odd fellow. The gist of Day Man is that he protects Charlie and the rest of us from Night Man.

Night Man is a very bad man that, well, he does bad things at night.

Those of you that follow my twitter feed already read about the new costume from the makers of Green Man. I give you (they give you) Day Man. Surprise your favorite guy with a silver spandex unitard with bell sleeves and bell bottoms. He’s sure to love it! Get one for yourself too.

Mythbusters will take on classic Star Trek. In the original series episode Arena, Kirk is pitted against the Gorn captain. Kirk makes a cannon from items he finds on the planet. The Mythbusters’ task is to find out if it’s possible to make a working cannon from the items Captain Kirk employed.

The myth was a labor of love for Grant Imahara. He wanted to see it tested and he knew we wanted to see it tested. He asked his twitter followers to tweet with the tag #gorncannon so the show runners could get see a trend analysis. I tweeted the #gorncannon and lots of others did too. The response was enough to get the cannon added to the next viewers’ special. Grant and Tory have been keeping the fans updated on the progress with pictures of their Star Trek costumes and Think Geek accessories (a Tribble and communicators). Grant makes a great Spock.

The Mythbusters team has made cannons for previous myths. They’ve tested combustibility of various things. I think they’ll find a way to make the Gorn cannon work.

I’m straying from the costume content for a moment (it’s sort of pop culture related) to encourage my readers to help Lisa Spodak raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. She began in 2002 by getting pledges and donations. Her determination has led to a well known and popular fudnraiser of auctioning celebrity autographed Avon Breast Cancer Teddy Bears and pink Everlast Breast Cancer Boxing Gloves. Her current auction features the leads of Fox’s Dollhouse Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penikett and guest stars Alan Tudyk and Mark Sheppard. The auctions run through May 21, 2009.

Bea Arthur passed away Saturday morning. She was only 86-years-old. Her career spanned more than 50 years and earned her Emmys for both Golden Girls and Maude and a Tony award for Mame. She was always recognized for her tall stature and husky voice. I can her saying, “Rose..” There will never be anyone who crack a line like she could. We’ll miss you, Bea. Thank you for being our friend.
