The angel wings I 'borrowed' from a rather tacky christmas tree angel but I did customise with metalic orange paint spray so it still looked partially fabulous. My Nan made the cowboy hat from mustard coloured felt and a bent paperclip although that has gone missing.<br /> I couldn't even begin to make the boots but I had a similar pair myself so all the photos were taken with RM-actionman standing near the camera and the boot carefully positioned about 12 foot away. Never got a good shot. POssibly because his feet were always in front of the boots which were consistantly out of focus. For shame!</p> <p>spanish tv is giving me popbitch flashbacks. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-5089 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:27:55 +0000 The All New Jeni B 5089@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes, I had heard that story too.</p> <p>Surely a pet anteater would have been better? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-5072 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:04:21 +0000 Zadok the second 5072@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ergh.

I have no idea if it is true, not does his sexuality come into it, but it seems an unlikely thing to make up. Google "Ricky Martin" "dog" "spanish tv" and "wardrobe" and you should find it. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-5001 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:52:30 +0000 The All New Jeni B 5001@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thisisall1word - Where did you get your Action Man costume from? </p> <p>The reason I mentioned his "outing" at all was because I was surprised that anyone thought it was a big enough deal to make it a proper news story. It's not like it matters to 99% of people in the world. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4998 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:25:50 +0000 Dickens or Shakespeare 4998@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Who is this Ricky Martin? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4973 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:42:01 +0000 thisisall1word 4973@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>RE: Jeni B - Ha!</p> <p>This has actually come as a bit of a blow to me. I've never really thought of myself as inherently homophobic but I got back from work and took all my RM posters down, danced along to la vida loca one final time and then burned all of them along with the action man I have (who wears a copy of the RM costume from the 2003 Latin Grammies that I made). I will pray for his soul. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4968 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:29:43 +0000 Quaz 4968@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'd forgotten who he was. I'm amazed it even matters if anyone is out anymore, unless it's the Pope (or it was Bill Clinton and Rush Limbaugh. Now there's a match made in heaven). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4934 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:58:51 +0000 The All New Jeni B 4934@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I thought it was short for "She bangs me with a strap on, because that's the only way I can get off and still keep my legions of teenage girl fans".</p> <p>Not as catchy I suppose, but I'm sure that the nuns who raised him will be just as proud of him. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4932 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:55:54 +0000 rikkor 4932@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I believe that "la vida loca" is synonymous with "bum love" in Puerto Rican Spanish. So, I am not that shocked. </p> <p>Also, "she bangs" is short for "she bangs the door behind her as she runs away from me because I puked when she took her clothes off". It makes a much punchier song title. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4907 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:31:24 +0000 ramblesid 4907@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Right, I've heard She Bangs (like a dunny door in a howling gale) but he wasn't bothered anyway it looks like. I'll certainly sleep easier tonight knowing.<br /> Hi Plucks, sorry can't stop but probably nip in later. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1745#post-4904 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:28:56 +0000 Zadok the second 4904@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ricky of course was in the boy band Menudo (pron.
