One Tax Preparer Doubles as a Sex Worker, The Other Does Psychic Readings
By David Moye - AOL NewsMost of Lydia Tinker's customers come to her because she does a great tax return, but some come back because they want a psychic reading. For the past 35 years, Tinker, a licensed tax preparer in La Mesa, Calif., has offered psychic readings from the spirit world to her customers, many of whom would simply be happy with a big refund check. "Numbers speak to me," Tinker, 64, told AOL News. "I look at a birth date or a Social Security number and information comes to me about a person connected with the client. I'm cautious about who I tell this to, but sometimes I just have to reveal it. ...

Adrianne Palicki, the New Wonder Woman, Gets Props From Lynda Carter
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsThe Lasso of Truth has been passed down to a new generation. Adrianne Palicki has been tapped as the new Wonder Woman in David E. Kelley's new show about the famous superheroine. His remake will air on NBC. Is she worthy to don the tiara? Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, seems to think so. She tweeted this Wednesday: .bbpBox38059396445634560 {background:url(http://a0.twimg.com/profile_background_images/145845357/LyndaCollageTwitter.jpg) #8B542B;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px ...
Sarah Palin Steampunks Her Way Into Comic Book Universe
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyThe cult of Sarah Palin knows no bounds. Antarctic Press, based in San Antonio, Texas, has published the "Steampunk Palin" comic, which features a vampy Palin holding a brass ray gun contraption with goggles perched on her bumpit and a canister on her back. Steampunk, according to Wikipedia, is "an era or world where steam power is still widely used -- usually the 19th century and often Victorian-era Britain -- that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy." The genre's popularity has surged in recent years with role-playing games, art, fashion and books. It's ...
Marvel Comics' New Spider-Girl: Tough Girl Without the Boobs
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyThe crime-fighting world needs a heroine about now. And not Wonder Woman in her redesigned 21st century jeggings and short jacket that makes her look more like she's headed for the nightclub than a Justice League meeting. Enter the rebooted Spider-Girl. Marvel Comics debuts the teen-aged super heroine Wednesday. While Marvel has previously created a Spider-Girl, this one is retooled with less connection and sidekick action to Spiderman. The original Spider-Girl, first appearing in 1998, was the daughter of Peter Parker, aka Spiderman, and Mary Jane Watson, his sweetheart he later ...
Geeks Get 'Anime-ted' With Cosplay
By David Moye - AOL News(Aug. 6) -- Halloween used to be one day a year, but some self-proclaimed geeks have turned it a 365-day holiday thanks to "cosplay." On the surface, cosplay -- a shortened term for "costume play" -- seems simple: It's basically adults dressing up as their favorite heroes from anime, manga, fantasy or sci fi, and either role playing or simply posing for pics in their chosen character's most famous poses. But the lengths that a cosplayer will go to emulate that character can be quite extreme, according to Atlanta-based cosplay model and costume designer Candy Keane. ...
Wonder Woman, Rosie the Riveter and Me: In Defense of Pants
By Helena Andrews - Politics DailyLast week, Suzi wrote about Wonder Woman's newest sartorial incarnation. Missing the super-heroine's old crime-fighting uniform, which had all the practical function of something from Frederick's of Hollywood, my WomanUp colleague wrote that the golden-lasso twirler was an American icon not to be messed with or made over. See, the thing is, big-girl panties mean something to first-wave feminists like Gloria Steinem, who said Wonder Woman's new millennium get-up (liquid jeggings, cropped military jacket and patriotic corset) "gives us the idea that only pants can be powerful." But for a ...
Wonder Woman Fans Give New Duds a Dressing-Down
By David Moye - AOL News(July 7) -- Wonder Woman turns 70 next year and, in honor of the anniversary, she's getting a new outfit to replace her iconic corset, crown and blue star-studded panties. The outfit, which includes a shiny red blouse, blue blazer and spandex tights, looks more like club wear made by American Apparel than superhero gear. As a result, longtime fans like Katie Wooley are super angry. DC Comics / AP This illustration released by DC Comics shows the new look for Wonder Woman designed by DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee. Wooley, a lifelong Wonder Woman fan, believes changing the iconic outfit is ...
Wonder Woman's New Costume Is Criminal; Spandex Panties Rule
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyWonder Woman has a new costume, and my mom does not like it. "Gross," she said, closely examining the leggings, bolero jacket and everyday-Jane haircut. "That is not my Wonder Woman." Her Wonder Woman is the raven-haired 1940s Amazonian goddess in a red and gold corset with red boots and star-spangled panties. Actually, when Mom first fell in love with the Golden Age Wonder Woman during World War II, the superhero preferred a skirt. The blue briefs debuted a few issues later. Lynda Carter, as most men of a certain age certainly recall, wore the Spandex ensemble flawlessly in the 1970s ...
L.A. Superheroes Feel Powerless in Battle With Cops
By David Moye - AOL News(July 1) -- Superheroes aren't supposed to feel helpless, but, for the last month, Superman and the Incredible Hulk have been incredibly frustrated by the actions of the Los Angeles Police. On May 28, the police started cracking down on the many costumed characters who gather on Hollywood Boulevard and pose for pictures in exchange for tips. More than 13 pop culture icons were arrested including Spider-Man and Catwoman. Police claim the crackdown is because many of the caped crusaders weren't defending truth, justice and the American way, they were rudely demanding tips, even to the point of ...
