 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1933, in Los Angeles, Julie Newmar was born!

She has been active as an actress since 1952, nearly 75 years!  She's appeared on film, on TV and on stage.  She has earned a Tony and a Golden Globe.  She owns two US Patents for pantyhose and two other patents for brassieres!    She studied real estate at UCLA and has invested in properties and managed them.   She even appeared in a George Michael video!  Quite the Renaissance Woman, yeah? 

I know her as an actress, from roles such as Eleen on the original Star Trek; Ophelia in an episode of Bewitched; an episode of Columbo; Claudette from the Bionic Woman episode "Black Magic" (man I LOVED the episode and show as a kid); and a cameo in the outstanding mid-90s drag queen epic "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar!"

And while all that IS impressive, she's really a badass because, for 2 seasons, she played the arch-villainous on the 60s Batman TV show; Catwoman!  Rowr!

 Badass Birthday

On this date in 1963, in Youngstorn Ohio, was born Lady Miss Kier!

Who is Lady Miss Kier, you ask?  Oh, you poor unfortunate young'un.  I feel sad for everything you missed in lift.  

Lady Miss Kier was one of, and singer of, the trio known as Dee-Lite.   

In 1990, Dee-Lite released the iconic "Groove Is In The Heart", which was nominated for several MTV music award videos.  But what it did is, unknown to us at the time, mark the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s.  Music post "GIITH" is nothing like music pre"GIITH", and never would be again.  And while that's not all cause by Dee-Lite, thier song is a great demarcation line between the eras. 

Dee-Lite released two further albums, which did nothing, and the band disbanded.  Lady Miss Kier conitnued singing and DJing and working in fashion.  She's also been an ardent gay rights advocate and ally and anti-war advocate. 

But just watch this video, and tell me after doing so, that she is NOT a badass.  And if you do, I'll call you a liar!

Boggles my mind and is a bit saddening to think she's 62 years old now.........

On this date, 67 years ago in 1959, in Detroit, Earvin "Magic" Johnson was born. 

Magic Johnson is the greatest point guard in basketball history, and one of the greatest basketball players  of all time.  He played his entire 14 year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers.   

5x NBA Champion

3x NBA Finals MVP

3x NBA Most Valuable Player

12x All Star 

2x All Star Game MVP

He also has an Olympic Gold Medal from 1992.

And so while these are all impressive and enough to make him a badass, in addtion to ALL this, he's a vocal advodate for HIV/AIDS patients, since he was diagnosed and announced his infection in the early 90s.  That did a lot to help diminish the stigma of HIV/AIDS, when the public saw a straight, athletic, famous MANLY ALPHA man announced his infection. 

Also he has an openly gay son and is vocal in his support for him, showing how straight people can deal with gay children. 

All of these together, clearly show what a badass he is!
