Thanks to Christina
(Ne1for10is@aol.com) for sending us some important Superman information:
At the post office they have a Superman stamp. You
can't buy it alone, it comes with a bunch of other memorable things from the
1930's. For $54.00 you can get 10 albums of all the superheros (including
Superman) with special stamps of them inside. Also, they have those non-adhesive
stickers of Superman and Clark Kent for you car or mirror or bedroom window or
every square inch of your bedroom. They also have really cool keychains, pins
(to wear on your clothes), S-shield shaped notepads, and some other things I
can't remember. All of this stuff is under $5.00 dollars, so it's afordable for
everyone.
********
It's Official!!

The Diva Factor
by Karen (LadyFOLC@aol.com)
What Women Want
I
recently had a male friend of mine ask me the eternal male question: "What do
women want?" As if I can speak for all womankind and define exactly what we want
out of life and out of a partner. I don't even always know what I want! But, in
response to him and to all other male readers, I offer what I can in
response.
Now, ladies, correct me if I am wrong. But I think the one
thing that virtually all women are looking for -- ultimately -- is respect from
the opposite sex. Now, each woman's interpretation of respect is a little
different -- whether it's worshipping the ground we walk on, or just putting the
toilet seat down. For me personally, respect is taking my opinions and feelings
seriously, not rolling your eyes when I'm stressed or freaking out or in one of
my drama queen, "there's a conspiracy to make me miserable and it's all your
fault!" moods. It's also respecting my feelings and expectations. Don't make us
feel bad for watching Buffy or Lois & Clark or Titanic or whatever it is
that floats our boat. Don't expect us to give more than we are ready to give.
And call me back when you're supposed to, you male chauvinist pig!
What
else do I and many other women want? Compliments! I'm not saying we have to be
treated as goddesses -- but frankly, it helps. Tell us we look nice -- would
that kill you? Sometimes it's completely self-serving to our egos, but frankly
those are the best kind of compliments. They make us happy, make us feel
attractive and vibrant and wonderful. And even if we already know this about
ourselves, it's really nice to hear it from others.
Guys, you want to
score points with us? Send us flowers. Watch Buffy or L&C or Titanic or
whatever with us -- and don't moan and whine about it. Big, BIG points if you
suggest we watch it before we can. Do little things for us, because it's the
little things that can mean the most. Whether it's opening the door for us,
offering your arm or hand when we walk, cooking for us, brushing our hair out of
our faces, kissing our hands, offering us your seat or drink ... all of these
will make a big impression on most women, if not all.
Women want to feel
beautiful and intelligent and attractive and noticed. This is the compliment
aspect again. But it can backfire, if you don't think with your brain before
speaking. Here are some examples -- all of which I have been told
myself.
Good compliment: "You look beautiful in the morning."
Bad
compliment: "What did you do to your hair?"
Good compliment: "Is that a new
outfit? It looks good."
Bad compliment: "Hey, are you wearing makeup? You
don't look so tired."
Good compliment: "You light up the room."
Bad
compliment: "Kissing you is like kissing my sister."
You see, men? It's
not that hard. You just have to try to deal with our little quirks and
eccentricites, even if you don't understand them. You have to make us feel
appreciated.
Now, this friend of mine also asked me, "Why do women say
that just want a nice guy and then go for a mean, good looking one?" I can't
completely explain that one. I think that ultimately, most women want a guy that
we are attracted to and that stimulates us mind, body, and soul. Many women may
become attracted to a bad boy, but it's usually a passing thing. A "glutton for
punishment" type of deal. I'm personally an old fashioned girl. Tall, dark and
handsome, opens doors, cooks for me, tells me I'm beautiful type of deal. But
you can't completely categorize what every woman wants into one little neat
package. Just as you can't define what men want in one little description.
Everyone is different.
But I promise you, every woman will appreciate you
much better if you call us back.

What's On? TV & MOVIE
NEWS
by molly (lovelc@aol.com)
FUTURESPORT
Starring Dean Cain, Wesley Snipes, and
Vanessa Williams
When? Thursday, October 1st, on abc at 9pm
Check the
TV Guide with Ally McBeal on the cover...there's a full page ad for
"Futuresport" and might I say Dean looks absolutely yum?
DO NOT MISS THIS
MOVIE!!!
Also..."Life Goes On" is airing on that new channel, PAX. Dean's
episode of "Life Goes On" (he plays a surfer guy...double yum!) is supposed to
air on October 1st. Check your local listings to make sure it's going to be on
where you live!
ALSO in the Ally McBeal TV Guide (Sep. 26-Oct. 2) there
is a short article about 12-year-old actress Kyla Pratt. If you don't know who
that is, she played one of the school children in the L&C episode "Through A
Glass, Darkly"!! According to TV Guide, Kyla has been doing a series of Nike
commercials and Rosie O'Donnell commercials...and will have a role on "Any Day
Now"...and maybe even get her own show! Who knew? Well, when she becomes really
famous, we can say "Hey...I knew her when she was on Lois &
Clark"
THE NEW SEASON OF BUFFY PREMIERS on
September 29!!
Don't miss this episode!
There is a Buffy ad in the TV Guide (yep, the same TV Guide as above). Very
cool!!! Yayy! And...on September 30th...the season finale of "Dawson's Creek"
re-runs. This is a very sad episode but it's happy, too, and you need to watch
it. Why? Because the new DC season premiers a week later! Did you know there are
Buffy trading cards and episodes on video?? Check your local card and/or video
stores for more information! Speaking of Buffy, I have this episode of "All My
Children" from 1993 (before L&C premiered, even). It's one of the first
episodes that Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) guest-starred in. She looked so
young! So unslayerlike! So...brunette! She played Kendall...evil...bad girl. Won
a Daytime Emmy for it. Justin Whalin won a Daytime Emmy once, too! So I guess
you could say they have something in common
The Parent Trap!
This is the
cutest movie!! And it has TITANIC connections.
1) They go on boats a
lot
2) The parents originally met on a boat (sound familiar?) and fell in
love!
3) One of the boats they go on has a lifesaver thing that has
"Southampton" printed on it
4) One of the twin girls tapes a picture of
Leonardo DiCaprio on her wall
5) The twin girls play poker
6) One of the
girls rides a horse
Now, you might be thinking: "At what lengths will
this crazy girl go to to connect *everything* about this movie to 'Titanic'?"
Many lengths. Oh, and I'm not done yet. Here are some more
connections.
7) In both movies, there are elevators
8) There are also
cars
9) There is water
10) There are humans
Amazing, is it not? The
Parent Trap could *be* Titanic!! OK, I'm totally making that up. It's 9:13 at
night and I'm a little loopy. And so I'll shut up now
****************************************************************

stitches thing in "Just Say Noah"!
