Starfire has new clothes! OK, not really. But I’m pleased to announce Blair J. Campbell's costume redesign won Superhero of the Month’s most recent contest, in which V. and I served as guest judges. For me, it was a tie between Campbell’s costume and Michelle Scuito’s, which was V.’s favorite. In case you missed it, here’s … Continue reading Project Starfire
Starfire Redesigned
Girls Gone Geek has the distinct pleasure of being guest judges over at Super Hero of the Month for the Starfire redesign contest. E. and I both agree that few characters could use a fashion makeover as much as Starfire. She has been rendered many ways over the years, but almost always wearing very little.

Wonder Woman gets a costume upgrade for the TV series pilot.

Of course, everyone had something to say about Wonder … Continue reading Haute Heroism
The Amazon’s New Clothes
Nothing raises our hackles quite like hearing someone say Wonder Woman is lame. (Hello, Megan Fox.) For example, one of V's friends (we'll call him The Antagonist) takes great joy in claiming, among other things, that Bobby Drake could kick her ass, and that the princess would "look real pretty in a pink tutu, carrying … Continue reading The Amazon’s New Clothes
Vixen’s Fashion Crisis
When she isn't channeling animal powers to fight crime with the Justice League, Vixen — aka Mari Jiwe McCabe — rolls as an international fashion model. So why does her costume look like one of Tina Knowles' rejected sketches from the 1999 Destiny's Child Tour? Of course, there's no shortage of fashion crimes against female … Continue reading Vixen’s Fashion Crisis
