STARFISH-HITLER......Japanese monster villain

Loony late seventies jap TV show KAMEN RIDER with controversial Nazi-bad guys and an unsettling mutant Hitler/giant starfish opponent!

LEE.......

What is it about the name LEE?? If you are lucky enough to have the word "Lee" somewhere in your moniker then you are probably destined for greatness. Straight off the bat we got 5 all-timers:

Christopher Lee, Lee Hazlewood, Bruce Lee, Lee Marvin and Jason Lee

JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS 1967

Another HANNA-BARBERA cartoon that had an impact on me.....Even as an 8 year old I knew this was almost identical in format to SCOOBY DOO but with groovy, better looking chicks! There was obviously some tie-in with ARCHIE COMICS too

DEVLIN 1974

Another influential HANNA-BARBERA cartoon. Based on Evel Knievel it followed the exploits of professional motorcycle jumper Ernie Devlin. Can't tell you much more about it other than they actually used an image of E.K. on his XR750 in the opening title sequence.

FRANKENSTEIN JR. 1966

The Japanese get all the credit for cranking out outragious, crazy kids shows but this HANNA-BARBERA cartoon from 1966 is pretty insane! Look out for the OCTO-VULTURE monster! I used to watch this when I was a very young kid. I love the vivid colours and the stylized depiction of the mad doctors laboratory. I was totally mesmerised by it and maybe that's a contributing factor to how I turned out as an adult.

UGLY BUGS BALL part two

More pics... at the top we got BAMBI LA BEAU performing her "Cleopatra" routine then a bunch of random snaps...the caterers ran out of paper plates so TOPSY STAG ate her hotpot out of a washing up bowl!!

UGLY BUGS BALL PART ONE

First few pics from this weekends UGLY BUGS BALL with The Stags here in Wigan! A great party for sure....some good bits were an eight-armed drum solo from Arachnid Kenny Roquette, a bug related burlesque routine, a human fly buzzing around a giant turd stuck to a blanket and full-on honking saxaphone by our special guest Mike the Fireman. The party was totally sold out and people showed up in some great costumes. Next up is a Halloween party with The Stags  Friday 29th Oct.  at THE ROARING PSYCHEDELIC OCTOPUS in Wigan. It's an official OCTOPUS/SIDEBURN/DAVIDA HELMETS bash with amongst other things, special guest DJ Sideburn head honcho, Gary Inman......absolutely not to be missed!
Thanks to GoGo Lou and Wilky #99 for these pics.
