Princess vs superhero.
Apparently this Halloween the superhero costume was more popular with young girls than the traditional princess costume. I actually didn't find this too shocking as I never really was a princess kind of girl.
My heros were Nancy Drew, Perry Mason, and a host of secret agents from 1960's tv. Even though my best friend and I played our fair share of Barbies, we also embraced the superhero while reenacting our favorite Batman and Robin episodes.
As much as I would have loved to be Batman I chose Robin instead as we shared a common birthday. Well at least the actor and I did. My friend and I created our own Batcave in her carport storage room. It was filled with high tech Bat equipment made from cardboard boxes. We spent many afternoons saving the world. I doubt any princesses of our youth could have done the same. Elsa hadn't made it onto the silver screen yet.
I guess my friend and I were just ahead of our time. Same bat time, same bat channel.
Thank you for bringing back priceless memories. We still are a pair of kindred spirits, although we are done fighting crimes :-)
ReplyDeleteThose really were the best of times. I feel fortunate we got to share them together!
DeleteDelightful picture of you and your superhero.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gabriel! He actually once alerted me to the fact that our old semi-blind dog had fallen in the pool. I'm afraid she would have drowned if it wasn't for Cooper. He sure holds a special place in my heart!
