Well, that was a Grand Diva blog post title, wasn’t it? I’m weathering unbelievable life tsunamis on multiple fronts right now, which unfortunately means the lair gets neglected. It’s not really how I’d like things. Then again, I do<\/em> like getting a regular paycheck, so there you go. <\/p>\n

However, I am thinking of you all, dear denizens. Which is why I bring you this link for PointlessSites.com<\/a>. The name is pretty self-explanatory, no? I found this link several years ago, visited it with great frequency for a while, then completely forgot about it. Until I came upon the link a few minutes ago while searching through one of my personal e-mail inboxes. <\/p>\n

Yes, I said one of<\/em>. Don’t ask. The answer isn’t worth it. <\/p>\n

And, hell, because I’m in a giving mood, here’s another of my favorite photos from TrekCore.com<\/a>. Featured is, of course, the ever lovely Gates McFadden, hugging the fantastically talented, “I would have given anything in the world to work with him” makeup artist extraordinaire Michael Westmore. To those who are not familiar with Westmore, he was “Da Man” when it came to makeup designs for all the Star Trek spinoffs. If I remember my trivia correctly, he created the look for the Ferengi, the Bajorans, the Cardassians…even the Ocampa and the Kazon (okay, so there are duds here and there). He was also the one who personally hand-painted each and every one of Jadzia Dax’s leopard spots, which he would then sign. Honest!<\/a> Oh, and he started out as Butch “I’m Eddie Munster” Patrick’s makeup artist on The Munsters.<\/em> How effing cool is that?<\/p>\n
