Notes to self

[rivkat]

Must write futurefic in which Lois Lane refers to Mercy Graves as "Mossad Barbie." Or perhaps "Special Forces Barbie"?

Blame Sarah T. for She-Hulk: Single Green Female -- bought at the comic store earlier this week; at checkout, guy said, "You've got some good stuff here," specifically mentioning Powers, Y: The Last Man, and Rising Stars -- to wit, everything I was buying except for She-Hulk. Well, She-Hulk is a lawyer; was worth a try.

Must find someone who can make me animated icons. I have the pictures for "Supreme Power" and "redheads" icons, but no ability to do it for myself.

She can only be "Mossad Barbie" if she's Jewish. What I visualize is closer to "Special Forces Barbie", not to mention the subliminal association with GI Joe (who always seemed more like Barbie's type than the obviously gay Ken, anyway).

How do you know she's not Jewish?

It's always interested me that I grew up thinking, because of the Israelis, that Jews were badasses of the first degree, when Jewish kids in the first half of the century had the wimp image to deal with.

Well, maybe she *is* Jewish, I don't know. I just meant that a shiksa can't be Mossad Barbie, but if she's like the Mercy from lanning's Identical series, no problem.

Did you know that, at least up until 1950, Jews of all nations won more Olympic gold medals in fencing than fencers of any one nation did? It was part of this whole "Jews can too kick aristocratic butt!" thing.
