Posted: May 9, 2012 Filed under: Interactive, Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: january jones, met gala, superhero actor Leave a comment »January’s look is so heroine chic fashion people on twitter called her a superhero.
Her bodice is amazing. It’s the definition of heroine chic. But the best part of this image is that smile. I’ve professed my affection for Ms. Jones and her Frosty Performance but I love to see her look so happy.
Here’s the rest of the dress: Read the rest of this entry »

She looks like Cruella Deville’s daughter. That is all I can see. Cruella Deville’s adorable-but-CLEARLY-villainous daughter.
Meanwhile, I know where in the world Carmen Sandiego is. Read the rest of this entry »
RedBubble NYCC Contest!
Posted: September 15, 2011 Filed under: Interactive, Linking Leave a comment »If you are anything like me you have a posse of original characters running around inside your brain. How would you like to see it on a T-Shirt in New York City? Not a posse of supers running around our brains (though, that might make a clever t-shirt!) but YOUR ORIGINAL CHARACTER.
The Challenge
Fancy having your own design featured at New York Comic Con?
Of course you do, so you need to get your concentration hat on and read these words:
Your task is to create your very own, highly original, comic book character. Superhero or villain. Splendidly powerful, embarrassingly weak, or just quite good at chess. Give them skills you’ve always wanted or defects you’ve always dreaded. Give them a snappy name and stick them on a t-shirt.
What would your character wear? What’s their calling card, weaponry or gadgetry? What’s their story? What are they fighting for or against? It’s up to you to answer these questions.
We’ll then whip the winning design into a limited edition, official RedBubble/NYCC 2011 t-shirt to be featured, praised, discussed and given to hundreds of adoring comic fans in New York this October.
Full details on the The New York Comic Con Design Challenge are up now.

Interactive Wednesday: Gwen or Mary Jane?
Posted: May 4, 2011 Filed under: Event Fashion, Interactive, Red Carpet Fashion, Uncategorized | Tags: andrew garfield, dakota fanning, emma stone, evan rachel wood, spider-man 2 Comments »Let’s start with this:
Guys, I’m so excited for this movie. I was not at first. In my eyes Spider-Man 2 is perfect and Spider-Man 3 is best forgotten (to avoid RAGE) and basically, I was over Spidey’s origin story and frankly, tired of the Hollywood/American idealization of youth and the rush to make movies just to keep making money and tie-in toys for McDonalds that are never marketed to girls despite the fact that Spider-Man is the favourite hero of all the females in my house.
But then it got cute.
Here’s our Gwen Stacey at the Met Gala:

Interactive Wednesday: Kiss me, Batman

Just, you know, not so powerful, and with no training. Anyway, lately my chaos powers have been going crazy. For example: I, like many, like to cast my favourite characters and/or cast my favourite actors in my favourite stories. I’ve mentioned before that Naomi Watts and Diane Kruger are my top picks for my best Marvel heroine, Ms. Marvel, and I am infatuated with the idea of Katie Holmes as Jessica Jones. I’ve also been saying since the first of Christopher Nolan’s Bat films (which starred Katie Holmes) that I want to see Talia Al Ghul on the big screen.
Well.
Best Dressed: Selena Gomez (PCAs)
Posted: January 6, 2011 Filed under: Interactive, Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: peoples choice, selena gomez, taylor swift Leave a comment »I just adore Selena Gomez. Adore. But I am being up front about it! And there is only one look I liked as much as Selena’s:
Taylor Swift in J. Mendel. Breathtaking and with that cut out it’s even a bit heroine chic. Beautiful, beautiful. But then there is Selena (in Paula Ka):
