Fuck Yeah Green Chile Festival

This is why Chuy's is my favorite restaurant in the world and my parents have been eating there since 1982. And yes, our waitress recognized us tonight.

For those of you less familiar with TexMex: hatch green chiles are harvested around this time of year, so Chuy's has a Green Chile Festival with a special menu. This restaurant is already kitschy to the max: they have an obsessive love for Elvis -- sadly, the velvet painting was taken down a few years ago, but the bust in the foyer with the inexplicable sparkly bandaid on its forehead remains -- and weird decor like half a car sticking out of the wall, and half of the restaurant's ceiling space has wooden fish hanging from the ceiling and the other half is covered in hubcaps (which are in turn covered in stickers from the napkin packets).

Right now, the walls are covered with Batman decals and "Holy Guacamole Batman!" & "Whappo" type signs. ♥

NB: I may have had a few margaritas on a mostly empty stomach. But I totally earned it! Some dude compared me to Adolf Eichmann over the phone today because I charged him $15. Way to Godwin's Law yourself, douchebag.

ETA: Time to watch Erik Lensherr: Nazi Hunter X-Men: First Class again!

XMFC question

The guy on the left is Darwin and the guy on the right is Einstein, obviously, but can anyone identify the woman in the middle picture? She looks familiar - an actress, or a singer?

ETA: found it! The woman is Rita Hayworth. Thanks, ya'll!



(These are the pictures on Charles' bedside table in 1944 when he meets Raven, for those who want context. The only other objects I can identify are the baseball, a book, and a chess piece that looks like a king.)
