My Daily Spock 2/10/12

So a guy walks into a bar one night in the 1970’s with their Polaroid and finds Leonard Nimoy! Leonard, ever the fashion dude,  nailed the 70’s look without looking tacky!

Beige polyester jacket. Check.

Super big collar. Check.

Tease of chest hair. Check.

Megawatt smile.  Check.

And please sign my Polaroid. Check.

Leonard was one of many celebrities photographed by Tim Boxer.  Here’s a link to all of his signed Polaroids: (talk about blast from the past!)

My Daily Spock 2/9/2012

Today, a double dose of devilish deliciousness!

I was psyched to find HD stills on the ‘net! Yet, as sharp and colorful as the HD images are, they unfortunately expose the quick slap-on beard of Mirror Spock! Oh well, still ridiculously sexy and definitely my favorite alternate universe character!  Here’s a magic fix-up I did with Adobe Photoshop; now that goatee almost looks real!

(btw, I’d love my husband to grow one, but not likely!) 😦

My Daily Spock 2/5/2012

Yeah, I know it’s Superbowl Sunday, but don’t forget to take a little time for quiet meditation.

New Feature — My Daily Spock!

I was inspired by this site  ( http://dailynimoyphoto.tumblr.com/ ) which is no longer adding pictures, so I thought I’d pick up the slack.  This category will feature Mr. Nimoy as Spock as as well as many of his characters  and other talents in his long career. To see every new picture, just  click on My Daily Spock under categories.  This one’s for all The Nimoyans.  Enjoy!

Let’s start with a classic, shall we?

In this classic still from the original blooper reel, little Adam Nimoy greets his his father on the set with his very own Vulcan ears.  Just like Daddy!  Aww!

( I cleaned up this original still and enhanced the color)

Another Trek Dream

January 10, 2012

I awoke this morning from a funny Trek dream.  It takes place in the new Trek Movie – but with the original actors as they were in the 60’s.

At one point, Spock has to seduce a crew member to get info regarding an impending invasion.  I marvel at the scene, for we only see the scene from over his lover’s uniformed shoulder; he lets his eyes do all the flirting. (ah, those Nimoy eyes) She has long black hair – This was probably a reference to a book I read many years ago called  Spock, Messiah! (Oh how my Mom hated the sacrilegious title of that book! )

Mr Leslie yells at Spock –Since when can you Pon Farr at will?

Spock replies “It is always there, we can control it, but it makes you feel really weird! (Makes goofy face)

There are more crew on the Enterprise, mostly other characters from 60s TV shows! (You see the Addams Family walking the corridor!

Khan is among the villains the Enterprise has to face – we see him lying in sickbay in his gold net overalls.

At some point there is a big battle and of course the Enterprise wins.  I try to rewind it on my DVR to show it to my sister, but of course it doesn’t work.

*******************

I suspect this silly dream came about because I read about the upcoming Trek 2 movie and disappointment that the villain might be Khan.  I say, bring on the new movie, I can’t wait to see it!  Yet after 45 years, why do I still have the occasional Trek dream? Well, they say the things you love are always in your heart, so I’ll just leave it to that. And maybe it’s because he’s 80 now, and like someone I’ve known for so long, I know that sooner or later Nimoy will pass on to eternity, and I’d just like to know if he’s ever read this blog.  Hey Leonard, you there?

#3 The Corbomite Manuever

I thought it would be fun to tell this from Uhura’s point of view–that’s such  a great screen cap of her! (Thanks Star Trek Core!) This was the only episode where Lt. Uhura wore Command Yellow. And note Balok peeking over her desk!
