Some friends and I had dinner tonight and the topic of conversation somehow ended up on what horror related celebrities have "jumped the shark."
For those not familiar "jump the shark" is a reference to that one episode of Happy Days where Fonzie did a motor cycle jump over a great white shark. To many, that single episode marked the beginning of the end for Happy Days, hence the phrase "Jump the shark" being used to describe something that has gone beyond it's prime.
Anyway, during this discussion, one of the names that came up was "Elvira". We actually had a big debate over whether or not we thought "Elvira" was still a marketable commodity. "Elvira" had quite the line over at Rubies at last year's Transworld but at the same time I'd think twice before doing a changing portrait of her. I personally love her but then again that warm, tingly feeling in my neither regions might just be nostalgia.
What do you think? Is "Elvira" still a marketable commodity for general public or has she "jumped the shark."
Just wondering,
