RealReal reopened its SF store & kept the dressing rooms. My giant image is still there! As 7x7 put it, the dressing rooms remain their β€œfavorite feature,” w/ life-size images of SF icons Peaches Christ & the SF Twins.
So it’s confirmed. I’m still there to watch you get naked.

MONSTROUS MUSINGS
The Giant Conspiracy Happening Against YOU
By Phil Nobile Jr.
I work with a pretty cool and diverse spectrum of employers, staffers and freelancers. Folks of different genders, sexuality, races, backgrounds. I think we're all pretty aligned ethically, morally, and where human rights are concerned, but when it comes to movies, opinions, and pop culture tastes and takes, we're all over the place.
And that's great. Sure, I will shake my head at a co-worker's opinion on a movie from time to time. We might even debate our differing positions. It's fun! But I'm becoming increasingly aware that this kind of civil, respectful coexistence is giving way to a troubling, growing line of thinking I see in the world - and, more and more, in horror: "If you disagree with me, something is up." It's not even "you're wrong"; it's
"you're only pretending to have a different opinion than mine, which is the correct opinion."

Every local TV weather reporter is a potential horror host until proven otherwise.

TROLL 2 is the most TROLL 2 that TROLL 2 can be, and for TROLL 2, that's admirable.

This is a hell of a way to learn that my WE BOUGHT A PAZUZU script is not going forward.

Thank you. I also don't think Herzog would have believed the Little Engine, in fact, could.

David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury and Lisa Rina as Contessa Valentina 'Val' de Allegro Fontaine in a promotional still from NICK FURY: AGENT OF SHIELD.

Why yes, I *will* use the current discourse cycle to remind you that Lisa Rinna is technically part of the MCU thanks to her role as "Contessa Valentina de Allegro Fontaine" in the 1998 TV movie NICK FURY: AGENT OF SHIELD - starring none other than The Hoff! Will they return in DOOMSDAY? I hope so.
