Now You Can Watch Adam West’s Guest Performance from an Unaired Episode of Powerless

https://www.themarysue.com/adam-west-cameo-powerless/

Adam West, famous for his role as the Caped Crusader in the campy and comic ’60s Batman show, passed away last week at the age of 88. Fans around the world mourned his passing, and the city of Los Angeles lit up City Hall with the Bat Signal in his honor. Now, NBC and DC Entertainment have released a previously unaired episode of the sitcom Powerless, in which West had a guest role/cameo, so that fans can enjoy one of his last performances.

In the episode, titled “Win, Luthor, Draw,” West plays a member of the Wayne Enterprises board named Chairman West. His cameo is short, but it includes jokes about a “gratuitous cameo,” some campy narration, and West’s warm, humorous grin.

The episode is only about 25 minutes long, but if you’d like to skip to West’s cameo scenes specifically, he appears at four points: at approximately 4:24-4:52, approximately 5:15-6:00, approximately 10:20-11:20, and approximately 21:15 to the end.

“Win, Luthor, Draw” was intended to be the second-to-last episode of Powerless‘s first season. However, NBC pulled the final three episodes in late April, before announcing the series’ cancellation in May.

While this is one of West’s final performances, it isn’t quite the last. Fans of West can also look forward to remembering and celebrating his voice work in the upcoming animated film, Batman ’66 vs. Two-Face.

Tips for Using Kids Pottery Wheels

Tips for Using Kids Pottery Wheels

After reading an article about how much fun kids pottery wheels can be at Artful Parent, I became interested in trying out a kids pottery wheel. Um, I mean, I became interested in having my kids try out a toy pottery wheel!

After reading many reviews of many different brands of toy pottery wheels, I learned some tips for successfully using them. They are simple to use, but there are also some common pitfalls that many reviewers complain about. Over in my article for eBay*, I’ve written down my Tips for Using Kids Pottery Wheels, so check them out! (*I wrote that article as a part of a paid collaboration with eBay.)

Artful Parent recommends the Faber-Castell Do Art Pottery Studio, and it also has the best reviews on Amazon. The only thing that I notice about it that I potentially don’t like is that it is only battery-operated and doesn’t include an AC adapter for plugging in the pottery wheel. I would prefer to plug my wheel in, instead of having to use up batteries and then hunt around for (or buy additional) batteries when they inevitably run out.

I’m looking forward to trying out a toy pottery wheel. How about you? Do you have any experience with these?

How to Charge for Quilt Making

How to Charge for Quilt Making

If you enjoy quilting, chances are you have friends and family who have approached you and asked you how much you would charge to make a custom quilt. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to figure out a fair price for sewing a custom quilt. Between fabric prices, labor for making the quilt, and “invisible” costs like the time you spend shopping and preparing the fabric, there are a lot of factors to think about.

Over at eBay*, I’ve written a comprehensive guide for How to Charge for Quilt Making, so go check it out and let me know what you think about my formulas. (*I wrote that article as part of a paid collaboration with eBay.)

If you are a quilter, check out some of my quilting projects I’ve posted here at Dollar Store Crafts.
