I liked the theme, thought it was clever. There may have been a couple too many of them, as shown up by various fill woes. I am faintly amused that OFC does not know anything about STEPUPTRANSFORMERS. I'm certainly no electrician and I've heard of them. IGGY Azalea takes a curtain call for DOD.

Certainly no sloggish feeling at all.<br /><br />I was a little confused at first with the first two themers, but picked it up at KISSED AND MADE(up). There seemed to be some discussion about a STEP UP TRANSFORMER and REVERSE PHONE LOOK-UP, both bona fide terms in my book.<br /><br />There were many good-to-great answers here as well as fine cluing.rainforestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-71484180221433233672019-10-06T14:46:18.564-04:002019-10-06T14:46:18.564-04:00What's UP DR.EVIL?

Got it, not surprisingly, at PIN(UP)GIRLS, which also has a NIP, to boot. Hard to tell if that's an EmDASH or ENDASH sitting there all by itself.<br /><br />I saw DURAN DURAN 10' from the stage in a club holding no more than 1000 c. 2012.<br /><br />IGGY shoulda been clued as "Rocker Pop", IMHO. When given choices in my yeah baby selection, I almost always defer to musicians. Since rap is not my idea of music, the late LISA 'Left Eye' Lopes gets the nod today. Much more success with R&B / Soul after moving away from hip-hop. IGGY Azalea has zero talent. The 118 square coulda been an L for a LINEAL/LIZZO cross. LIZZO has become WILDly popular after spending a few years in the Twin Cities; besides rapping she can holler-sing, if that's your thing. Slightly more talented than IGGY Azalea, faint praise and never a yeah baby. But LOOK for LIZZO in future puzzles. Guaranteed.<br /><br />I actually kinda enjoyed this puz.<br /><br />rondonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-13854944388252350092019-10-06T13:48:24.321-04:002019-10-06T13:48:24.321-04:00GLAM BEAUS' CREDO
