She was an Amazonian princess that came to America to live as a demure, conservative teacher by day and a crime fighter by night! Diana Prince (played by former Miss World USA Lynda Carter) would be going about her teacher day then encounter some trouble. Suddenly, she'd spin around in a graceful twirl and transform!
Wonder Woman! Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman would emerge "armored up" in all her satin Red, White, and Blue righteous glory!
Gorgeous dark locks of hair unraveled from the "teacher bun" falling over her bare shoulders. Red lips that spoke words that had been soft and gentle, now were like a sword to the enemy. Just below, a figure that had a super power all it's own. Knee high boots fitted with a readiness for running. Gold cuff bracelets that could deflect bullets. An unbreakable and indestructible Lasso of Truth. Wonder Woman would bind the enemy with it and it compelled them to speak out the truth.
And what princess is complete without a tiara? A symbol of her royal position and her heroic persona. It was a boomerang that she could throw to defeat bad guys and it would always come back to her.
All the world is waiting for you
and the power you possess
In your satin tights
fighting for your rights
And the old red white and blue
Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman!
All the world is waiting for you
and the power you possess
In your satin tights
fighting for your rights
And the old red white and blue

Man! I loved that! Every possible ideal of a woman plus super powers. I was a mesmerized little girl. It made an indelible mark on my little girl consciousness that a woman could be feminine, smart, strong and fight injustice. And she was a teacher- my real life heroes- so I began to look at my educators with a new eye and a playful suspicion of a secret life.
I would put on my Wonder Woman Underoos (c'mon you know you had some)and spin around, "transforming". Jumping off porch stairs with athletic flair, deflecting invisible bullets with my bracelets and use my 'jump rope of truth' to capture 'bad guys' (an inflatable kid's punching bag with sand at the bottom).
Oh! How I longed to grow up to be like Wonder Woman. Beautiful. Strong. Powerful. Fighter of Justice. Beholder of Truth.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Funny, how the world can make you forget your super powers. Make you forget who you really are and the wonders you can do. Too many hawks. Not enough love. Lies become truths.
It's time to transform, Princess....
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Therefore put on the full armor of God,
so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:10
Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.
Yes, I am. And yes you are. A Princess of royal position and heroic persona.
So armor up, Beauty. We've got evil to fight.
*And if you need a reminder like I do, print out this paper doll and color it to look like you.( when I did mine I had blond hair) Laminate it and use it as a bookmark for your Bible. Write Ephesians 6:10 on the back and remind yourself to "armor up". And just like Wonder Woman's boomerang tiara, if you lose a battle, you can always come back to Jesus.
