Wonder Woman make-up line from MAC

It's pretty unlikely I'll buy this (you know, tight budget and all that) but I just had to give props to MAC for releasing this new Wonder Woman line of make-up . It would be awesome to see their NYC store as it's currently transformed to look like a Wonder Woman comic . I'm not a girly girl and am severely fashion impaired but I do wear lots of make-up for bellydance... I'll bet amazon-powered lips and lashes and would be especially exiting for Hips of Fury ;-) The glitter alone could be useful in deflecting unwanted evil... The mascara pitch has lured in this naive WW fan to believing in amazon lashes: "A superhero mascara! Lashes go dense and dramatic with an anti-gravity high volume curled effect. Longwear, fighting-fit formula offers up to 15 hours of wimp-free wear." And whoa shiny, they have WW accessories to store all your amazon secret weapons. The bags are said to be bullet-proof. I'd like to see them test that theory. OK thanks. That was ...

where have all the heroines gone?

I have always been drawn to any TV show or movie starring and revolving around Super Heroines. In my youth obviously I was captivated by the Wonder Woman TV show starring Lynda Carter. Many hours were spent spinning & fueling the imagination with our adventures together. My grandparents had audio records of the Wonder Woman comic that completely captivated me. I became entranced with the idea of a woman super hero who didn't have to rely on men; she could rescue herself as well as others. I enjoyed The Bionic Woman as a child but not in the same way I looked up to a traditional Super Heroine (keeping with the league of many male characters). The 2007 Bionic Woman remake was enjoyable at first (especially because of kick-ass characters like Katee Sackhoff joining in). But repetitive story lines and uninteresting characters couldn't keep my attention (or apparently anyone else's). I've done a lot of searching in TV & movies and probably watched most of wha...

Hips of Fury #bellydance Alter Ego ~ ELOE

My alter ego in the group of awesome friends I call the Johnny Snows , is known as Hips of Fury (naturally, since I'm a bellydancer ). (Side note to the potentially confused - Johnny Snow is a reference from Dr. Horrible which is an awesome story we all adore. We are the Snows b/c we ski in CO. Dr. Horrible is plotting to be an evil mastermind in the ELOE, Evil League of Evil. Our group hasn't determined yet if we are good or evil ;-) ) The Johnny Snows are a creative group and Colleen has decided to write a script for a video so we can really have fun with the character names we made up at our holiday party. I already enjoy writing, so I quickly came up with a fictitious character: Hips of Fury – Alise Ardent (Ardent is a play on words being a synonym for passionate) Good or Bad? – Ambiguous / Struggles with it / Helps women, sometimes enjoys punishing men Powers – shimmies that create weather patterns & sonic booms, has power of hypnosis with slow movements and can...
