That ain't no Julie Newmar.
No, she ain't.
But, Ms Newmar's replacement (Eartha Kitt) wasn't no slouch, either.
I remember a moment I shared with My Pops, when Ms. Kitt elicited her signature "purr/grooooowl", in that dark, alto-register voice of hers.
I glanced over at him, in his recliner... and he silently shared a wink/smile with me, just beneath My Mother's Deeply Fundamentalist Baptist gaze.
"Childless Cat Ladies" have been a lure in the Clem male id for as long as my fam history goes back. We bros have always loved us 'the slinky.'
Truth.

This has been a fun diversion... but it speaks to a deeper point.
Here's the point I'm tryna make here:
Do you see how easily we all can be manipulated/distracted?
I just moved an entire DT/PP thread about America's (potential) VP away from its main subject, and into an extended conversation about "which depiction of a DC cartoon villainess gets us off the most?"
This is who we are.
It's why we're so easily moved to pursue the most chaseable, distracting 'squirrel du jour.'
...and it's also why our current political landscape is as fk'd up as it is.
This thread was originally about America's potential next Vice President, in one of the most consequential elections in modern times... and Clemmy was able to distract R's and D's alike away from the original subject, and into a deep dive about actresses, depicting a cartoon character from their pubescent fantasies.
Point: made
Class/dismissed.
We need to be smarter voters/citizens.
