Warning the British that they aren’t going to be taking away our arms.

Here at 8 Bit Runway, we think a lot of people are dumb. It has less to do with politics than it does... well, clear stupidity. This isn't a political blog, so we won't chastise you for most things, but history is totally different.

Remember Sarah Palin? You've probably heard that she made a fairly large blunder pertaining to our 'Merican History (is that the right word?). According to many sources, she said [Paul] Revere warned the British "by ringing those bells, and makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." (Is it just us, or does this read like a second-grade account?)

The real truth? She's seen the new season of Futurama, which we are the most excited for.

Star Wars and Videos Roundup!

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!!

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

Boobs. (Vol. 2)

The Fallout 3 Edition!

Lulu and I decided that we'll be posting regular segments twice weekly- on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays are Roundup days (more on that on Tuesday!) and Thursdays are our other regular segment days! Today- Nerd Girl Bras, or... Boobs!

I'm in love with Fallout 3. Seriously. So, I thought I'd make a bra for it! Picture after the jump!

HAPPY GEEK PRIDE DAY

HEY ANYBODY!

If you are sorrily out of touch, the good news is you came to us!
Today is Geek Pride Day!!!

We here at 8-bit runway like to think we're geeks, so in honor of the day we're launching our facebook fan page!

Please stop on by and "like" us if you like us, like like us or just plain, like, support us!

It is also Towel day- and you know what that means...We hope you know where yours is!

If not, you can play this amazing game called Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure, written, drawn and voiced by a 5 year old girl! We can only hope to be as amazing as her some day!

[EDIT: The game linked above seems to be taking some heavy traffic, and as a result, the connection is a little touch-and-go. Keep trying, it'll show up eventually! And is totally worth it!]

Boobs.

Alright, kind of...so two of my favorite things are video games and boobs. (I know I'm not the only one!)
