To kick off the new year, I am combining a few of my favorite things: cats, cartoons, comics, and – of course – gingers. As you know, if you know me at all, the only comics I’ve semi-regularly kept up with are of the Archie variety; Archie, Betty & Veronica, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Josie and the Pussycats. And, since I’m still a little wary of declaring my undying Ginger love to Archie, I’ve picked my second favorite Archie-ginger, Josie James/Jones/McCoy (will we ever know her true last name?).
For Christmas, I was the lucky recipient of the complete television series from 1970, and I plan to marathon the ess out of it before school starts again in just a couple of weeks (wahhh). Not only that, but I haven’t watched the 2001 live-action film version, featuring Rachael Leigh Cook (remember her?), Tara Reid (omg), and Rosario Dawson (she came out alive!) in a long, long time. I think it’s about time I crack that out, at least to recite my favorite line of any film ever: “I’m so pretty and popular!” Ok, wait, you’d have to see the movie to find that line even remotely giggle-worthy. And after my recent purchase of Absolutely the Best of The Archies, I should probably get my hands on Josie and the Pussycats: From the Hanna-Barbera TV Show, if I can find it at all. (Of course I already have the film’s soundtrack, duh!)
In other words, welcome your first Ginger of the Month – of the new year and decade – by rocking the frig out to this:
[...] amateur sleuth › in which, prolonged tails and ears for hats. [...]
Let’s get leopard-print cat ears and wear them all the time.
Yes, please! You have no idea how many pairs I had all of those years ago!
