Did you do the poll?

I posted this poll last July, and now that I have a few followers, it’ll be fun to see who’s who!   Feel free to pass it on to your friends, lets get a ton of Trekkers to answer this!

New ‘StarTreKomics’!

Hi Kids,

I know it’s been a while since I’ve made any new “StarTreKomics”, so here’s two new ones!  They’ll be in the StarTreKomics Gallery on its own page, Enjoy, and I’m sure I’ll have more in the future!

 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Probably the most festive poster I’ve ever made! Note the Gorn’s pilsner! Singing and drinks all around!

 

A Belated Valentine for You!

Behold the Ultimate Star Trek Valentine!

One thing I’ve noticed about TOS in all these years was that it was just jam-packed with romance.  Not just Kirk and his sweetie of the week, but the love between many different characters, romantic, platonic,bromance, maternal, and  sentimental.  I’ve tried to capture all these loves, and just some plain silly notions too, (Carol Burnett???)  and of course, the real-life friendship of Bill, Leonard, and De. I wish you all the nerd love in the world! Be sure to zoom in so you can see everyone.   Thanks for enjoying my site, Therese

Happy Holidays 2011 From Trekker Scrapbook!

Sorry I’m a little late here! Hope you’ve all had (and are still having) wonderful holidays, and I wish you all a very happy, healthy, and blessed New Year! love, Therese 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving! The ‘Balloonatics’ on SciFri

Ever wonder how they keep the mighty helium balloons flying  for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade? Check out this great video from NPR’s Science Friday:

Happy 45th Star Trek!

My little tribute. Keep on Trekkin’ Everyone!  -T

Happy 100th Birthday In Heaven, Lucille Ball!

America loves Lucy, as does the whole world! But Trek fans have a special place in their hearts for her, for without Lucille Ball and Desilu, there wouldn’t be the original Star Trek in the first place!   Happy, Heavenly Centennial Birthday, Lucy! You’re queen of the Trek Universe! (Now that’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!)

See this latest addition to StarTreKomics today!  At first I was going to make Lucy like her Ricardo character, trying to navigate the Enterprise, but since Trek was after the I Love Lucy years, I wanted her to have a little fun!

I Make Videos Too!

Just a quick sideline.  Not content enough to just write and draw, and collage, I also love making videos to music I love!  Here’s some of my other interests expressed through home-made videos.  My name on YouTube is peace2baby*.  Enjoy! -Therese

*UPDATE:   MARCH 20,2012

Google has changed their whole way of communicating, and in the process forced me to make a new name for myself of YouTube (Grrr!)  Hence, I am now known at stillpeace2baby, but I have lost access to the editing of my original videos.  However, I will still link to them through my new name, and I will eventually post new videos under that name too.  But this sucks!

My first video, a tribute to my favorite Beatle, George Harrison.

And the baroque Jack O’Lantern I carved last Halloween (2010)

A Tribute to my favorite leading men and musicians (Nimoy & Shatner are in here too) With my original lyrics to “America, The Beautiful”

A backhanded tribute to Betty Draper on ‘Mad Men’  (At the end you see the truly most beautiful woman on MM!) Note: for some reason this one does not play in all countries-maybe the one bikini shot?

A little movie of our pet hamster, Gus! (Awww!)

A quick review of “StarTreKomics”, although I have to update the final credits to include this blog!

And finally, a shaky video of Peter Noone with The Herman’s Hermits, shot at The New York State Fair last summer (2010)

Oh yeah, and here I am on my 50th birthday earlier this year, showing off the first fondant decorated cake I’ve ever made!(blush)

I’ll be making more videos as time allows.  Enjoy! -Therese

“Local mom reveals $5 trick to erase wrinkles…” Just Become An Orion???

Now, I refuse to read any of these ridiculous side ads that seem to have found an amazing amount of  ‘Moms’ in my ‘local’ area who all have found ‘miraculous $5 tricks’ to erase the lines of time.

But I admit, a long time ago, I did once open an ad for the ‘strange simple secret’ to lose belly fat.  It led to page upon page upon page promising that you’d read this secret soon, and that it was ‘so simple’ that you wouldn’t believe it!  Well, I was a good 40+ pages in and it still kept promising the ‘secret’ would really work, but I closed the ad because I just didn’t care, and by the time I had the ‘answer’ I probably could have walked around the block 3 or 4 times!

But back to this ‘local Mom’.   You know, these ads  always feature the face of a woman who has never had wrinkles, or worse, the picture  where a bar sweeps back and  forth over a gruesomely photo-shopped wrinkly face, transforming it into an immaculately smooth face. (shudder!) Yet today, the latest picture I’ve seen for these annoying ads caught my eye.  Here it is, slightly enlarged:

 

 

Oka-a-a-y.  So I guess this means to lose my  wrinkles I only have to become a green Orion Slave Girl?  Hmm.   Maybe it works? Look, here’s Susan Oliver getting the same treatment in 1964! 😉

Well, I never found out what the $5 trick was, and although I’m sure that green makeup hides the wrinkles,  I’ll leave the application to the descendants of Fred Phillips!
