Super hero clothes fit tight and can be uncomfortable. 072209
Who does the super hero call when he gets tired? I know batman had alfred. But what about the rest of them. I guess the X men had Xavier to help them with the mental issues. But who helps the hulk and spider man? And what about wonder woman and the green lantern? Who's there when they need to take off those high heeled boots and skin tight shirts and out fits. Who helps SUPERMAN? I mean damn, what happens when a Pimp is down? Who helps him get his wig back together and sun glasses back on? Who looks for the pimp cup that rolled away when he tripped in his heeled boots? I have decided to leave the legion of super heros and join the ranks of civilians. I am putting away my need to save others in order to save myself. I no longer need to be a people saver, besides, the league didn't give me an Alfred and that other guy to make all the fancy gadgets for me, and they didn't make me a billionair's daughter. So I will not be wearing the pumps and cape anymore. When I run, I will wear sneakers and will only do so to stay in good health. No one thinks that Cat woman might need her feet rubbed. After all that walking and running and flipping and chasing bad and good guys, I know those leather boots are too much. Just like when moms worked all day, came home and cooked, helped with homework, put the kids in the tub, counseled a friend, read a bed time story, screwed her husband and still got up in time to make breakfast. There is no cape for this job. There is no glamour for this super hero. Quite often she is disquised by outdated clothes and hair because all her powers are invested in others and remember she doesn't have an alfred. So I will not be wearing my wonder woman cuffs and stiletto boots to fight crime anymore. I will not be using my lasso of truth or giving any high speed chase. I will be using my powers to heal myself and prepare for the next episode. Perhaps, I will trade places with Lois Lane or the girl from spider man and see how that goes for a while.
