I have a fantasy I turn into Wonder Woman. Maybe that's why I dig big bangles. I think they can protect me from the fierce demons that await me.

Maybe it's because my mom was the voice of  She-Ra, Catwoman and Batgirl and therefore had superhumans take care of me in my infancy (it's gotta be that aspirational sort of thing.... you know like if she had superpowers then why not me too?)

It reads on www.tvacres.com that "On the fantasy WONDER WOMAN/CBS/ABC/CBS/ 1976-79 Lynda Carter starred as Wonder Woman, a mysterious super Amazon from Paradise Island who helped Americans battle Nazis under the guise of Yeoman Diana Prince. Her patriotic costume of red, white and blue featured a tiara, bracelets (that could deflect speeding bullets), and a golden lasso dangling from her curvaceous hips (that could force people to tell the truth when wrapped around them)."

In synergy with the Dove brand's "Real Beauty" campaign (and after some help from the discovery and later exploitation of JLo's delicious derriere) curvy kinds are getting their heyday after years of hegemony from the queendom of celery-chomping size 0 waifs. 

Funnily enough the flash-back to real-body reality was first inspired by someone quite superheroic, Lynda Carter.

Ain't it funny it takes a super-human to give us back our humanity?

Now please, tell me where to get these bracelets. They go oh-so-nicely with my curves this summer.
