My Weekend Crush

Does anyone have fame figured out more than Elvira Mistress of the Dark/Cassandra Peterson? She is a full-on iconic character. Beloved! Idolized! Instantly recognizable! Then when she takes off the wig and makeup, practically anonymous. When Cassandra came out a few years ago, it was another one of those proud “Score one for the home team!” moments. Having the OG mistress of darkness be family is just another one of those reminders that we’re everywhere, we’re everyone. And, as Elvira proves, we’re cool (and spooky, in a cool way) as hell! And we can throw shade at so-called Good Witches like the Scream Queen she is. Happy almost Halloween weekend, all.
