I can’t in good conscience call her a superheroine. She is wearing a cigarette and any superhero will tell you Smoking is Very, Very Bad for You. Yes, even Wolverine. I have the ‘Logan’ Heroclix with and without cigar because I used to collect Wolverine Heroclix — but Logan was my FIRST so even though I’ve stopped collecting them (there is at least one Wolverine every set, it just got to be too much when I’m not THAT big a Wolvie fan anyways).
So…who else now wants Hana to be Genderbent Logan?
Point is — superheroes may smoke to be “edgy” they don’t promote smoking and while wearing a cigarette butt as your hat is not precisely promoting smoking… what the hell else is it?
REAL point being, girl is 150% heroine chic. Read the rest of this entry »

The texters were correct, Naomi Watts is my superheroine of the night. And it’s a stunning dress, too:
Princess of the Night: Quvenzhané Wallis

Though when I think about it, it’s usually boring? At least no one film swept everything… Those years are endless even when it’s a film I care about and possibly I didn’t care about the films this year, because I didn’t have time to see most of them, so. Also, I didn’t like McFarlane’s humor and the pacing was really weird and the “celebrate music in movies” thing came off more like “these are the people who agreed to show up and perform” — they’re stars, right? Who cares about cohesion. Also Bond films are totally all about the music, duh. I mean, YES, the credit songs are part of the formula but “let’s celebrate music in movies with a Bond retrospective” is NOT COHESIVE.
Anyway, other than Aaron Tveit (swooooon), the best part of the broadcast was Little Q:
She is a star. She is a superhero. She is royalty.
Superheroine of the Night: Laura Whitmore

Let’s get it out of the way: She. Is. Stunning. I started with this shot because she’s so stunning she doesn’t look real to me. And as silly as it sounds, the bombshell hair and make-up are entirely in keeping with female superhero appearances:
Before you decide that comparison is a stretch, looky what Ms. Whitmore wore on the BAFTAs red carpet:

Superheroine of the Night: Bonnie McKee
Posted: February 11, 2013 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: bonnie mckee, grammys Leave a comment »Sometimes at awards shows, especially ones where the network sends out absurd memos banning “puffy” skin, stars show up in crazy fashion that says “I’mma trying too hard”. But sometimes the crazy is honest self-expression.
I think Bonnie here falls into that second category. Her hair is CRAZY. But it’s her hair. She plays with it. That’s her thing. Looking closely:
Princess of the Night: Rihanna

It could be a movie poster. Coming soon to theaters near you: Rihanna is ROSE RED in the updated fairytale classic.
And girl KNOWS it, too. Read the rest of this entry »

I also think she is one of the most beautiful people on the whole planet. And now I realize –
Kerry Washington in Oscar de la Renta
She is a Real Life Disney Princess.
Superheroine of the Night: Nina Dobrev. I guess.

It’s a pretty look on a pretty girl and the color + those little slits are heroine chic-y enough. Read the rest of this entry »

And her style is amazing. Read the rest of this entry »
