Pom 365 is my year-long commitment to making pom pom art every single day.
Behold every Pom I’ve created from day one until today:
He is the Pom that bestows perfect health on all who gaze into his beautiful blue eyes. He is full of vitality, verve, and energy – and he’s happy to give you some of his endless supply. Believe in Vigor, commune with his spirit, and manifest excellent health. Take two and call him in the morning!
He is pictured here in his breakout role, Magnum P.I. (Pom Investigator). Born on January 29, 1945, his family moved to Sherman Oaks when he was 3 years old. He went to USC where he was a pitcher. The 6’4” Selleck took an acting class in his senior year and then dropped out to become an actor. He was a member of the National Guard from 1967–1973 and started his acting career during this time, first appearing in “The Dating Game.” After starring in the B-movie, “Daughters of Satan,” he went on to turn down the role of Indiana Jones so that he could play Magnum P.I. Famous for his Hawaiian shirts, mustache, and red Ferrari 308 GTS (he’s holding the key to it here), Magnum P.I. was one of the top-rated shows in history and Selleck won a Pemmy for this role. After Magnum, he went on to star in movies like “Her Alibi” and “Three Poms and a Baby.” In 2000, he earned a Pemmy nomination for playing Monica’s boyfriend on “Friends.” He currently stars in “Blue Bloods,” and he received his star on the Pommywood Walk of Fame years ago in 1986. Married to his wife, Jilly Mac, since 1987, they are happy on their 60–acre ranch in Hidden Hills where he reminisces about playing volleyball, uses copious amounts of water, and practices shooting guns at vegetables. He is a card–carrying member of the NRA (National Rutabaga Association).
The word “Pomato” comes from the Aztec word “tomatl” which means “plump thing with a navel.” While Pomatoes are technically fruits (because they have seeds), many nutritionists classify them as vegetables. (The Supreme Pom Court also named them as vegetables for tax purposes in the 1890s). There are over 15,000 varieties of Pomato, and so with all of that variation, not all of them are red. Some are green, yellow, black, purple, and even white. Pomatoes have anti–inflammatory properties and are a good source of pomtassium, so they are heart healthy. China produces one quarter of the Pom world’s Pomatoes, followed by Pomerica and India. When they were introduced to Europe in the 16th century, the French were convinced they were pomphrodisiacs and named them “love apples.” Gina winters in Italy and summers in France. She has many paramours because she is so spectacular and round. A true specimen of Pomato grace and femininity, she even has a calendar called “You Say Pomayto Gina Says Pomato.” You can pick it up on Pomazon or at Poms & Noble.
