Sharing them as soon as I saw them. I’ll do penance that it took me this long to spot these.

Stephen Amell’s Facebook page is a thing of wonder.

Slumbercon means I get to geek out in my PJ’s. That’s kind of perfect for me.

If you know me at all, you know I already adore Stephanie Thorpe and Jennifer Landa.

But now they’ve gone too far. Now they have given me SlumberCon — a con I can attend in my PJ’s from my couch.

Now if they can only figure out how to get me the con exclusives direct to my house, I’ll be set.

Make sure you subscribe while you’re at it. Cause I hate to con alone. ::grin::

Womanthlogy Needs A Kickstart. P.S. It Isn’t Just For Women And You’re Gonna Want To Read This.

Geek Girl Diva — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 00:22:00 +0000

As a woman and someone who looks to support creative people, I can’t help but ask you to watch the vid and hit the link to donate to the Womanthology Kickstarter Project.

Not to mention, when you look at the people involved, it becomes a dang moral imperative.

But if it helps, I’ll ask nicely. ;-)

Please? Do it for me? ::grin::

So, the first-ever KOTOR comic-specific action figures, 3 Mandalorians and all new figures?

Yeah. Should be good.

(Oh and, you’re going to want to pre-order. I know the quantities on these. Waiting might not be a good idea…)

Yes, I hate the new Wonder Woman costume. Wanna know why?

When I read Topless Robot this morning, I realized he said what I was thinking almost verbatim.

Still, allow me to list why I hate it.

1) Those aren’t pants. They’re leggings. (Say pants if you want. If they’re pants, they’re pegged. But when your pant legs disappear into your shoes, they’re LEGGINGS)

2) That jacket… Has Wonder Woman raided a Capezio or something? It’s a shrug. Leather jackets are cool. If they’re not a pleather shug knockoff of a “Members Only” jacket.

3) No boots? You put her in flats? Am I the only one waiting for that epic panel in which her gold plated slipper goes boomerang-ing off and hits someone in the face?

(For the record, I like the gaunlets and the bustier. See? I’m not a total hater)

I’ve had guys ask me why I hate this, since there’s been talk in the past about WW’s outfit and that women have asked how she could fight in it and that it was too skimpy or that this is much less slutty.

My first thought?

There was an warrior princess not too long ago and she managed to kick ass in what she wore and not look like a slut.

But seriously, is it that hard to take a few touches from actual dark urban fantasy?

(Look…pants…boots..no flippy floppy gold flats)

JMS said, “It’s a look designed to be taken seriously, as a warrior”

From a totally female perspective, if WW walked around in an urban area in what you have her in now, of COURSE she’d be in fights. Because people would be jumping her for looking like a poser.

Do. No. Like.

If you really want to get modern with this storyline, then you may want an arc in which one of Diana’s friends makes a call to the Style network to get her on “What Not To Wear”. Because that’s what any modern woman who considers her a friend would do.
