The Super Squad

A few years ago, I created a team of super heroes named "The Super Squad." They had very specific, very useless powers. One of these characters was named "Stomach Face." This is a quick drawing I did in MS Paint, to give you a general idea of what he looked like.



Essentially: his face is on his stomach.



It seems American Apparel had a similar idea. Except, instead of a super hero, their version of Stomach Face just is the face of a (possibly) dead performance artist/comedian.

Just out of curiosity: on what occasion would one wear such a shirt?

Stronger Than A Runaway Train

If you've ever wanted to dress up like a superhero and run around town pretending to fight crime, ModCloth just made finding a costume 90% easier.




The best part is, the wedges give you that added bit of height necessary to intimidate evildoers, but they don't have a heel, so you're less likely to take a header while running after your arch nemesis.

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet

Embarrassing confession time:

Sometimes, I like to pretend that I'm actually a superhero, and the everyday me is just my alter-ego.



I guess I can wear these next time I'm pretending to be a secret superhero. It'll go nicely with my cape and the underwear over tights combo I rock.

Costume Ideas #8: Silk Spectre I

This isn't actually a sarcastic post. I'm actually trying to be helpful here.

No, seriously.

This is Silk Spectre II, and yes, she's super hot, has a sexy latex costume, and perfect hair.

So, every nerd's girlfriend is going to be going as Silk Spectre II this year (from Watchmen, for those of you who aren't giant geeks).

However, no one will be going as her retro-foxy mom, Silk Spectre I (aka, Sally).

Except for you.

All you'll need is a stitch ripper to take the ruffles off the top, one of these two belts (the zip one is more accurate, but I like the gold, it looks more superheroish).

Add some arm-length gloves, a black bustier, a garter belt, and thigh-high fishnets, and you're set.

Who Wears the Womenswear?

Amanda's Journal. October 19th, 2009: The internet is afraid of me. I have seen the worst of its clothing. The websites hawk ruffled peplums and ripped leggings, and when they don't sell, they're marked down.

All the unworn clothing will sit in their stockrooms, and the scarf will look at me and shout, "Wear me!" ... and I will whisper, "no."
