My faithful friends, Tracy & Melissa and Leslie & Dave, gave me a four-layered, birthday treat!
First up, from Tracy & Melissa, is a magnificent, Port Company, "B Movie Poster Collection, Classic Sci Fi, Horror, Monsters" T-shirt, with a queue of my favorites on display: The Screaming Skull, The Deadly Mantis, Viking Women and the Sea Serpent, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, Tarantula, Reptilicus, The Pit and the Pendulum 1961 and The Mummy 1932. Wow! This sure is a stunner and bound to draw loads of compliments.
The second surprise from Tracy & Melissa is PIXILUV's 4.5" x 5.5" Brilliant Noir, post-card set, which includes 24, poster reproductions of such moody staples as Affair in Trinidad, Kiss Me Deadly, The Man in Half Moon Street, Gun Crazy, Blonde Ice, Blonde Alibi, Naked Alibi, Pushover, Lady on a Train, Lady Without a Passport ... and Woman on the Beach. Oh, yeah! Talk about lurid! Talk about brooding! This set was made for me!
Last but not least is a sturdy and stylish Panvola mug from Leslie and her hubby, Dave, adorned by a clever warning: "Be Careful Or You'll End Up In My Book."
I must say, I do sip lots of coffee and tea when I write, and so on that basis, this gift will be put to mighty good use. I'm also always scoping for people to cast in my yarns, and so ...
I gotta say, Tracy & Melissa/Leslie & Dave certainly outdid themselves with these wonderful gifts, for they represent me to the uncanny tee. Thank you, my friends, for hitting the "Michael" mark right down the line.
