Super Hero Portraits

With power comes responsibility. As any super hero will tell you, with any super power, there is always a downside. Sadly, this results in many stressed and gloomy heroes.
Take me for instance. Rhondah Rhombus, Anti-fashion activist and anti-fashion super hero. I have guided many a fashion-disaster to the light at the end of their wardrobe, which IS the anti-fashion league. But along that path, I've been harassed by the Paps, bitch-slapped by fashion heavy-weights, and tripped on the anti-fashion cat-walk of life. It is, the path less chosen, and Be warned. Super heroes have their troubles too.

Recently I returned from a trip to New York City. There I found to my great pleasure and surprise, a real-life SUPER HERO SUPPLY STORE. There you could get all the invisibility gum, lycra suits, lazer vision pills etc etc you could possibly want. It also doubles as a school for aspiring young writers, out the back, through the turning bookcase. TOO COOL.

Poor square man. Saving the world's square edges from becoming rounded, through routine wear and tear. Metaphorically square aswell as geometrically, Square man stands up for all the 'squares' of society, those that don't fit in, are unusual or hard to categorize. In my opinion, the more interesting folk in the community.


Atlas man. He can make time go faster or slower, by doing forwards and backwards rolls. It's basic gymnastics, but it could be very helpful in certain situations.

Carrot man. You all know we are vegetable friendly here at the Anti-fashion league. Carrot man is standing up for the rights of veges throughout the world!


Let's not be sexist. Carrot leg woman. Much the same function as Carrot man, except capable of much more because she's got arms. Also makes carrot man happy on lonely nights.


What about old super-heroes? Definately under represented in popular culture. Here is an artist's projection of Carrot leg woman in 50 years.

Onion man. In this heartless society, onion man is here to make you cry. Come on! it feels so good to let it out once in a while.
Every super-hero need's his or her "arch-nemisis." Maybe here is Rhondah's.

Lightening man. Despite his suit, Lightening man feels burdened by his ability to conjur up electricity. He feels his super power has prevented him from forming a proper relationship. He has too much 'positive energy' perhaps. And he can't take off his rubber boots for fear of shocking himself in his sleep. He is getting counselling.
Poor lightening man.

I sign off now, - very soon a new post on AFL's mascots, Rory and Leonard.
