1000 Posts!!! (and a Request)

Well here’s a milestone I never expected; this is my 1000th post! How’d that happen?

I started this blog way back on June 11, 2011, and I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I’d write this much about this ol’ TV show, or about Mr. Nimoy, or just anything else that popped into my head.  And I definitely never imagined that anyone would read my little blog, let alone have a following!    At the time I had minimal experience with blogs, writing posts for the wonderful Basket of Kisses site, but I just wanted to bring to life the Star Trek Universe from my corner of the world.  It’s been a fun and wonderful learning experience.  Often rewarding (like helping Celeste Yarnall with her cancer fund), and just knowing I can make some people smile) and sometimes frustrating (Is anyone actually reading my full posts are just looking at the picture in the promo on Facebook?)  Sometimes I regret the name I gave this site too, as it tends gets confused with delightful (and very popular) My Star Trek Scrapbook.  

And now a request: Nothing would make me happier than hearing from you in regards to what you like here and what you’d like to see? I always love reading comments from you and it inspires me to create more.  So please let me know:

  • What’s your favorite feature?
  • Do you like my Trek toons and posters?
  • Is there enough Nimoy? Too much?
  • What would you like to see?
  • Should I change the name of this blog?
  • Also, if you have a piece of TOS memorabilia, TOS production photos,  candid photos of Leonard Nimoy, or an old article you’d like to share, please send me a picture of it here at:

I will credit you when it’s published. 🙂

So here’s to the next 1000, and I’ll be back tomorrow with this week’s installment of Fan Art Fridays (aka FArF).  I’m especially looking forward to writing posts this year in this special golden anniversary of the original series. I have many things in mind, new videos and categories that I hope you’ll enjoy!   Thank you so much for your support through good and bad, and if you know anyone who likes or is just discovering The Original Series, let them know about my little site!  Share the geekness!   Thanks! Therese ❤

The 1oooth post final

“The Green Girl” – Wonderful Biography of Susan Oliver

Here’s a treat for you! This is a wonderful documentary about actress Susan Oliver who all Trek fans revere as Vina from The Cage.  But there was so much more about Susan as a actress, director, and aviatrix.  An incredible woman with crystal blue eyes and a no-nonsense attitude who finally gets her due here.  There are interviews with favorites here like David Hedison (Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea) and our own Celeste Yarnall.  It’s so good to see Susan’s legacy get some respect here, I only wish she lived to see it.   Enjoy this splendid documentary while it’s up on YouTube:

FArF: “Ladies of Kirk” by Kelley McMorris (kelleybean86)

I love these splendid images of all the colorful women that Jim Kirk kissed by artist Kelley McMorris (kelleybean86)!  They all bring the brilliant color and style of the original costumes back to life,  and adding a quote from each is the cherry on top!

I hope she’ll do all the ladies of Kirk, and Spock’s too! (She’s GOT to do Droxine!)

You can see all of her work and much more on Kelley’s Tumblr blog here:  http://ladiesofkirk.tumblr.com/   And Kelley will be starting a Kickstarter to get a book “Ladies of Kirk” a reality soon!   Good Luck Kelley, and thanks for all of your beautiful work!
