For some reason on a cold winter day in St. Louis, my thoughts drift to an image of Marge Simpson in Hawaii wearing a slinky dress. (Conditions here must be hard.) Actually, I found this in a shop window in the University City Loop.
Mrs. C and I love the Simpsons. It is the only consistently literate show on TV, which makes me wonder how it has lasted for so many years. There are lots of interesting details about Marge. Did you know her middle name is Jacqueline and her maiden name was Bouvier, as in Jackie Kennedy? And that hair! It's said to be based on a combination of the bride's in Bride of Frankenstein and the style cartoonist Matt Groening's mother wore in the 60s. But why blue?

Yesterday it was in the 50s here in Berlin, so it seems our winter weather is gone (for now). But I still like this image of Marge!
ReplyDeleteNice observations here. I like that.
ReplyDeleteOh believe me Bob, Aimee has a Simpson's quote for everything :) Must show her this post!
ReplyDeleteFeeling a little bit of colder after seeing this!
ReplyDeleteHer taste in husbands leaves something to be desired!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a Simpsons fan...
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit like ciel de Quimper. I think it's because Marge's voice dubbed in French makes me cringe. It's TERRIBLE. Something like a dying crow and an angry parrot. Makes it difficult to focus on what she says. You just want to stop her talking. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteWhy blue hair? Probably because it's truly unusually. It's one of the few colours people rarely dye their hair in. Blue, or green. But blue works better with the yellow skin.
