    Now, Dearest Vered — what is it that you’re impressed with, exactly? My Paintshopping skills? My sheer daring, (a.k.a. my What The Heck Is She Thinking) for posting this or my awesome fashion sense? :)

    Dearest Grace, there is way way too much emphasis placed on being a certain weight in this society. I wish such superficiality would be blasted (with a ray gun) to smithereens forever.

    Dearest Mike — yes indeed, one could say this is way waaaay out there — to Infinity, and beyond. :)

    Dearest Ellis…. Oh you mean the kind of spandex I wear in my rubber room? Yes, indeed — I’ve got some that laces up the back, and sides, then has a leather harness for over it. :)

    Hey Dearest Lynn, I forget the name of that costume in my old college town. The lady was a master at creating really cool things. One year I wore her “Wild Blue Sea” — fish netting with all kinds of ocean creatures on me.

    Dearest Karina — why, thanks so much. I was thinking I’d also put me in a grocery store and other places too — but 3 seemed enough! :) Oh, and AWESOME to meet you, thanks for popping in — whoo-hooo!!

    Dearest J.D. Sorry to submit you to this today, but I found some old pix lying around in a box and well, my mind got to thinking, as it does. :) Well, as long as it started your day off well — that’s all I can ask. :)

    Dearest Alice Audrey, nope I never did get into that whole sci-fi convention stuff. But my pal in Brisbane Australia? She is a total Trekkie — and makes sews her own costumes. Which reminds me — I so owe her a letter!!

    Jannie said, 

    Hey, G — I was hoping this post would make you all want to rush out and don spandex of your own, not make you feel old. :)

    Hey, Caity — thanks!! Glad you enjoyed them!

    Hey, Patricia. You are a dear, and I will miss you, but am so glad you have that job!!

    Hey, Brian — I think I now need to post a Jannie 2010 in spandex. Hmnnn. :)

    Hey, Debbie — that’s okay! We can be the lazer gun TWINS!! It’s always more fun with two.

    Hey, Lance. I did that make-up myself, as I recall. These days I wear slightly more.

    Hey, Daisy — that’s right! I’m a GOOD girl — not a villian. :)

    Hey, Talon, in this town a Spandex Person in the park would be just another day in wonderful weird Austin!! :) Oh yes — I’m a good shot. It’s actually a LOVE lazer gun, makes anyone hit totally fall for me! :)

    Hey, Mia. Yes, I think the hand styling — my left one that is, makes all the wonderful difference here! :) Kinda Charlie’s Angels a bit? :)

    Hey, Cindy — I know you could sew that costume!!

    Hey, Eric “Bubba!” Thanks. I think I needs me another costume like that — maybe in the shade of my big eye blue to perfectly match my site this time? :)

    Hey, Tony, I’m gonna have to Google that Deadwood Stage thing! And welcome to Funsterland. We are happy you’re here!

    Hey, Dot! Yes, Kelly is a chip of the olde Jannie block it seems. But she far surpasses my hamminess already.

    Hey, Alice Audrey — cool! Is there any form of creativity you’re NOT involved in??? :)

    xoxoxo and such.

    By the light of the glowing lava star, Your gleaming, lazer-gun armed, clone, Janjan, from outer space really gets around… Hope she’s not taking over the Galaxy! -Quick! Run to the bomb shelters…!

    That was alot of work- huh?! I like the one where you’re standing infront of all the little galaxies n large stars. Think I see some globular clusters there too… or is it just a ballroom mirror ball reflection? (Having taken college Astronomy, I’m just being a wiseguy, btw-)

    A gun making all love you could really solve Earths problems! I forgot to mention I like that high-collar.

    Hey, Claudia, yes I really liked that iPhone photo of yours, nice and abstract.

    Hey, Sheila — thanks. let’s see the 2010 Spandex Jannie, eh?

    Hey, Alessandra, yes, I hadn’t thought about that about David Bowie, but you’re right!

    Ahh, SuziCate — I bet you say that to all the spandex bloggers you know! :)

    Hey, LL Cool Joe — where’s YOUR 1987 spandex photo?? :)

    Hey, Alice Audrey — some of my earlier songs were so so so so so so bad! But you know what they say? 90% fertilizer, 10% good stuff. Tho I think I’m at 98 / 2 % :)

    Well, gotta get to bed.

    But wait — there’s Snaggle!! Actually the hard part was getting all the background out of the way, then it took maybe 5 mins each pic, I just Googled the 2 backgrounds. Easy-Peasie. Yeah — ain’t my collar the best. Wish I had me one of those these days, I’d really stand out with the Kung Fu and Gymnastics moms. :)

    Bed!

    “That” movie, I believe, was BLAZING SADDLES.
    Been writing and blogging off to get
    physical therapy today, so yup, old Glenn
    arrives late, sees Laser Jannie, who had
    her own TV show on late nights in Austin,
    giving Vampira a run for the sexy sci-fi
    crown, and says his own “Woof”.
    At first glance I thought the ray gun
    was a microphone, and you were doing
    a David Bowie 80’s glam-rock video,
    or special concert, but then I looked
    again, and read some comments, and
    started dodging laser blasts hitting all
    over the blog, and hey, it came to me,
    this version of our sweet Jannie
    was a sexpot Sci-Fi super girl,
    who ran through the mall screaming
    something in Mork & Mindy speak.

    Hi Jannie .. fantastic pictures .. Halloween .. What memories and what a great time it looks like you’re having .. and I love the photoshop placements .. glorious ..

    Have you still got the suit .. are you wearing it this year .. or is Kelly almost adult enough to wear it .. or has BB got it safely tucked away in one of his cupboards, because he doesn’t want to be embarrassed? The tale of the Spandex Suit .. more to hear ..

    Happy planning days for Pumpkin time .. have fun .. hugs and cheers xoxo Hilary

    Hey, Glenn — I love how you write these long poem comments, you’re so full of wit and wonder. Yes, BLAZING SADDLES — that was it! I first say it about 25 years after it originally came out — it stand up well!

    Hi, Sweet Hilary — nope, that was from a costume shop. But maybe I can find a similar item here in Austin! And a matching one for Bb — he’d love it! Um, pumpkin! I shall have to buy a pie today, and drench it in whipped cream!! Thanks for reminding me of pumpkin!

    Hi again, Ana, so sweet of you to catch up here! Pretty silly,eh? Maybe I’ll photoshop me into a bunch of other locations with my ray gun. :) :) I imagine Halloween is much bigger here than in the UK?

    Hey, Alice Audrey — even Leonard Cohen says he runs about 90 / 10!!

    Jannie,

    Thank you so much for posting Spandex Jannie! I love it! I know you said I was one of several people who asked you to post a larger picture of it (after that small teaser photo that you had posted earlier).

    I just love the first picture. I know you said you just Googled for the backgrounds but I wonder how long it took you to find that one because it really is just perfect. You totally crack me up.

    You are hilarious, imaginative, and so creative. You make me laugh and smile. ;) You bring joy to people on a regular basis Jannie. It doesn’t get much better than that!

    Jeanne

    P.S. Update: 2,318 caring people (like you!!) have signed that petition we talked about to help bring clean water to millions of people. :)

    Dearest Jeanne of the great sweeping plains of yon, holy cow — that petition is Taking Off!!! Ahhh, ain’t no thing. Took me 2 hours to remove the background from me. And not long at all to find those images. I think I just Googled “space background.” Thank you so much for your more than welcome words!! And imagine if I regularly brought split fireword with my joy to you all!! Whooooo.
