Edward Scissorhands is one of my favorite movies. This might sound typical of most JDOCD (Johnny Depp Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) sufferers, but even before that kicked in I loved Burton’s modern day fairy tale on film.

Thanks to my friend, writer Lizzy Cline, I found out about an online tribute project called Scissorhands 20th,  created by artist & blogger Seb Mesnard.

Visit http://scissorhands20th.blogspot.com to see the diverse & wonderful artwork inspired by Edward Scissorhands.

Starting this weekend you can see the original works at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA, April 16, 2011 – May 9, 2011.

“In collaboration with Sebastien Mesnard, Gallery Nucleus will be showcasing a selection of original works from the Scissorhands 20th blog. The exhibit will highlight the works of over 40 artists, including paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, etc. and unite enthusiasts and fans in celebrating the 20th anniversary of Tim Burton’s classic love story and its unforgettable characters; Edward, Kim, Peg and a band of colorful suburbanites.”—gallerynucleus.com

Have you seen The Runaways? The all-girl rock band that performed in the 1970s included Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Sandy West and Jackie Fox. The movie about this rockin’ chick band is in theaters now. I’d like to take myself out on a date and check it out. I’m not sure if Mr. HIH would dig it.

I’m surprised that Dakota Fanning is so grown up now that she’s playing the role of Cherie Currie. Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett and so far the film is getting great reviews from critics and viewers. For the official film site click here.

I love this retro clip of The Runaways performing Cherry Bomb. Makes me want to throw on some black spandex and get a Slurpee.

Listen to The Runaways and find out what the 70′s rockers are up to these days, visit http://therunaways.com

Lead singer, Cherie Currie of The Runaways creates interesting artwork. She put down the mic and picked up a chainsaw to do it. You can view her gallery and learn more about her as the Chainsaw Chick, check it out: http://www.chainsawchick.com
