Cartoonist Pete Emslie posing with Julie Newmar

I can't stop looking at this photo of talented cartoonist Pete Emslie posing with my favorite Catwoman, the beautiful Julie Newmar.

She is still hot.

This could sound like an insult, but since he’s a cartoonist maybe it’s a compliment: He has the features and proportions of a real-life Wallace (of Wallace & Gromit).

Julie has an autistic son who is blind and deaf. There was a beautiful spread in “Next” magazine a while back about the garden she designed and maintains specifically for him.

Apparently I can’t stop looking at it either. I scroll down the page, and there it is again. ;)

Ah, Mark. Remember our night with Ms. Newmar? I’ll never forget….

Hard to believe Ms. Newmar is 77. Simply astounding.

  True. She doesn’t look a day over 73.

Okay, fine. So be it. I get to be the asshole who is first to say, “Kinda funny-lookin’, ain’t they?”

Maybe not quite the wide pop-culture appeal of this one: http://blog.beliefnet.com/crunchycon/liza%20wedding.jpg

  Well, I was going to be a little more diplomatic and say “that’s not a flattering look”. I think it’s the pulled-back hair combined with the grimace.
  But I’m with you on that…
  Pete looks like a cartoonist.

Newmar fans should seek out “Seduction of a Nerd.” It’s an oddball campy film with a cool Quincy Jones soundtrack. Troma re-released a while back.

Who’s the ventriloquist, and who’s the dummy?
That’s what’s so great about it – it looks like both of them are dummy and ventriloquist at the same time.

Is it just me or do they both look a little freaked out?
- Opspin
  
  They probably look freaked out because they were being photographed with a very wide angle lens probably up very close, that’s the reason Pete looks like he has a tiny head.

Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar
