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.

The miraculous return of Motorway rooster!

Many of you will not be familiar with Motor-way rooster, who has lived for years crossing the road between the entrance to the southern motorway from the south eastern motorway. Each day he would journey across the traffic to a small verge of grass between merging traffic and the motorway.

Mid-way through 2007, I had very low hopes that Motorway Rooster would ever be seen again, as giant diggers and men in orange vests errected barriers across both sides of the onramp, caging out Motorway Rooster from his home. On most of the grassy verge that he used to peck about happily, amongst the discarded coke cans and takeaway wrappers, there now stands a steep concrete verge.. and although many of the road-work barriers are still there for some reason..Motorway rooster HAS RETURNED!

Visit www.antifashionleague.com to read his very own Comic strip! More episodes coming soon..

This is a photo of motorway rooster taken before the road works.

The grass is a little dry, but he doesn't mind.

After three months leave, I snapped him again to my great relief.

However, on reflection, i'm not sure if this is indeed motorway rooster, or a motorway hen? It's a bit hard to tell.

Anyway... apparently motorway rooster has a name! This showed up in the paper this
week:

For a long time I have wanted to put up a sign, and build motorwayrooster his own comic web site. But for now I just have the sign. I am waiting for all the road barriers to go down so I can pull over and stop to put it up.

Here is the sign:


So anyway, if you want a motorway rooster badge,
let me know!

Let's support this little bird to keep his patch of paradise,
albeit shrouded in vehicle emissions and discarded rubbish.
Not to mention half finished roadworks.
Poor little Rocky.
