Rodney on the WOQ/Barris Put In His Place

Thanks, and a tip o' the tall white Goof hat to Bedazzled! for pointing me to Mark London's HEAVYPAPERZ weblog, where Mark reports that the so-called "Mayor of Sunset Strip," Rodney Bingenheimer, was awarded his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week. I wonder what Rod's rival claimant to the Strip's mayoral office, Kim Fowley, thinks of that?

This week, it's Kustom Kar King, George Barris, creator of the Batmobile, Munster Coach, and the ZZR Surfmobile shown above, who's being honored by having a Los Angeles street named after him.

The Future Was FAB: The Art of Mike Trim showcases the amazing concept art and models of the man who produced some of the most memorable sets and vehicles from classic the Gerry Anderson series, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, The Secret Service, and UFO.

Mike hasn't been resting on his laurels since then. He's currently working on a film project called Agent Crush. Mmm, looks SuperMarionated!
