I’m starting a new talk show (to compete with all of those other gab-fests hosted by a pack of restless, uncomfortable women who cannot stop clearing their throats, blinking and/or talking over each other).
I call it…
The Cozy
It’s hosted by women I’ve grown to admire (and myself); women I consider inspirations. Some you may recognize (if you are age 40+ and/or have parents who expose you to a variety of television/cartoons). Some you might wonder who the freak they are. But, that’s typical with these talk shows. Right? You don’t know everyone. Some you might know if they didn’t get a bewildering makeover. Some you’ve never seen because they are only known from rarely publicized sources and/or exclusive TV/internet channels.
What makes this show special? Other than what I just said, I’m not sure, yet. Maybe nothing. Maybe it’s just my own personal variation of the present lot. We will see.
For certain, there will be less noise and commotion (because there will be no video and/or sound…ha!). And, there definitely won’t be anything so superficial it has to come from California. Though some of the women might be “airbrushed,” I won’t allow shiny faces supplied by plastic surgery. Some lips might look like they have been Botox-ed, but I assure you they are all natural. If there is any advertising, it will likely be from the host site for my blog…unless I come up with some witty parody ads. I’m not one to promote “swag” you’re just going to toss on a pile, anyway, when the next fad/craze or falsely-advertised “better option” comes along. You only get honest opinions, creativity and wit from my show.
You’ll notice the initial feature imagery shows the hosts sitting on wooden barstools. I don’t consider those cozy seats. But, you work with what you’ve got. They came with the scene. Maybe I’ll get around to replacing those with a digital painting of a plush sofa (provided I can get the image quality to match the characters). For now, the stools keep the conversation sober. Without them, the hosts might get a little TOO cozy and either fool around or fall asleep.
[Disclaimer: This whole thing was inspired by some tinkering with images from a video game called Miitopia. I couldn’t get the characters quite right, even with the elaborate customization features. So, I did a little extra “body work” with another art program.]
Feel free to suggest guests and/or guest-hosts to appear on the show. And, like any good talk show that indulges in audience participation, feel free to grab a microphone and start a discussion in the comment section (below).
So. Let’s get Cozy.
