Friday night roundup

Okay, I'll be honest. I've been drinking beer (rolling rock counts as beer, right?), and watching this movie all night:



So don't worry. I'm read to make a really, really awesome roundup.

Firstly, follow this link to see something I've posted before, only better (note: I'm STILL obsessed with this shit. I'm [not] sorry.)

Nextly, follow this link to see more Disney princesses (this time, like real people).

More nextly, follow this link to see what occupying the lamest income group ever would look like.

Last nextly, follow this link to see why Dr. Who is clearly better than Jesus.


Now, some awesome [probably having something to do with Halloween] pictures!:

Have I already said something else is the best Cosplay ever?

Because CLEARLY I WAS WRONG. THIS IS THE BEST.

Oh wait. This is.
Seriously. THAT IS THE BEST.

Oh wait... this is.

No wait.
Wait... WHAT IS THIS?

From a collection of costumes pre-walmart days.
When kids made their own [TERRIFYING] costumes.

More costume ideas.

This is just funny.

And this is just true.

Truth.

THIS IS HILARIOUS.

That's all for now!

FELIX OUT (while now watching Wizard of Oz AND FRIENDS, thanks $1 bin at Walmart!)

Leftovers Roundup.

Hi kids-

So, Miss Felix started a brand new job this week, and let me tell you... I don't get internet in my room. That's right, playas. I have to leave my bed to internet. Which means this week's roundup is all about leftovers I should probably get out of the fridge.

You get the metaphor. Anyways, please enjoy! Something will present itself to happen on Thursday, we promise.


First, Here is a little diddy about how Lucas is, well, a little sorry for the "prequel" Star wars movies.

Also, this next video, is me. Oops!

Star Wars and Videos Roundup!

This week, I stumbled on a whole mess of Star Wars goodness. Here are some awesome images for you, followed by some very awesome videos I think you should check the heck out.

I can't wait for my mom to see this!


I dislike NOTHING about this.

I have a birthday soon, and this is what I want.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!

Oops!


Yeah, Yeah... but it is so good!

Wait for the end of this movie, it'll getcha.

Nerd-girl Style Icons Vol. 2: Wonder Woman

That's right, we're going there. Enter:

WONDER WOMAN!

The Kick-assiest of super heroines

Wonder Woman is a Princess of the Amazons, also known as Diana of Themyscira. Originally created by William Marston to be "tender, submissive, peaceloving as good women are," combining "all the strength of a Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."

Silly Women, with their thinking.

To be fair, Marston also said he wanted Wonder Woman to be a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men."

In the early years of Wonder Woman (Marston named her Suprema originally), you can find many allusions to bondage- Wonder Woman often physically restrained her enemies, as you can see for yourself:

That's how I learned to do it, too.

Later, Wonder Woman grew to be a well-liked super heroine. In 1975, Lynda Carter portrayed "The New, Original Wonder Woman".

Great Hera!

Set during WWII, it followed closely the original plot of the comics. Since the show, there have been several remakes, as well as a just-nixed NBC TV show. They probably stopped production because Kevin Kirkpatrick (who is otherwise a genius in my book, as the makeup artist for titles like True Blood, The Wolfman, Nightmare on Elm Street and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) decided to redesign the classic Wonder Woman costume into something more... horrifying.

AH!!!! GET IT AWAY!

Then they modified it to looks less horrifying last minute because of the outcry on the internet (waita go, guys!), though the picture is still pretty terrible.

I can't figure out what's going on here...

Sure, DC Comics also recently re-designed/ re-conceptualized Wonder Woman's image, they did something that's quite popular these days, which is doing a "gritty reboot". What happened here is something I don't quite understand- from all American super heroine to some kind of... biker chick? Wearing Spiderman's shirt-come-corset?

No.

So what does this all mean?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Because any good nerd girl knows that there is only one Wonder Woman costume, and it stands proud in red, white and blue... and gold.

STYLE STAPLES:

• Red top
  
• Star-spangled blue bottoms (sometimes panty bottoms, sometimes a skirt)
  
• Red Boots
• Gold cuffs
• Lasso of Truth (optional)
  
• Power stance (not optional)
  

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:

As previously stated, I'ma go ahead and say no white stars on blue background bottoms. Seriously, guys. Jeans of some sort are acceptable, preferably jean shorts, like your daisy dukes (you have them, I know you do). A simple red shirt and gold belt will suffice in lieu of red strapless corset (but if you own that corset, please, rock it). As I don't have any red boots, I chose to go with a more subtle approach- white knee high socks and chunky wedges. Red socks are preferred, of course, but I also do not own any of those.

The New Thing: Tuesday Roundups!!

At a recent, very important "business lunch" (not something we use as an excuse to drink and watch YouTube), Lulu and I decided to start weekly posts. Tuesdays will be roundup days until further notice! We'll continue to post random things throughout the week, but Tuesday is the day you can count on my Stumble roundups!

I need to sue someone for likeness rights.

Oh. Your. God.

A lot of you may have seen this already- but watch it again!!

Definitely not Lulu and me:

That's the best of this week... stay tuned for amazing things this Thursday!

Can't wait for Tuesday's roundup

This is too good. One of my very favorite online comics, The Oatmeal, made me even happier when he mixed a harrowing movie with my favorite thing. Behold:



We DO NOT own this image, we're just sharing it. To see more, please visit his site.

If you pay attention to Geeky news at all, Matt (the guy who owns/run/draws/everythings at The Oatmeal)has been having a major run-in with the admins at FunnyJunk (a site that posts pictures and makes money on advertisement? seems shaaaady). Many users of FunnyJunk have launched personal attacks at him, etc. We'd like to say that, although we're totally posting images he made, and owns the copyright to, we support him. Check out his blog about it.

We're not making money off it, just fighting the good fight.


FELIX OUT
