today lovely_girl and i went to the comic shop to look at hot girl comic book super heroes and get inspiration for competitions for saturday. we also wanted to find costumes that would be easy to put together and that wouldn't cost us a bundle. lovely_girl is going as catwoman which requires tight black leggings, tight black leotard, black boots and a cat mask, maybe a whip for good measure. or maybe something fancier, depending on what kind of catwoman she wants to go as.
i'm going as black canary because a) it's easy and b) she's a blond babe. i got fishnet stockings today, i have the leotard already, i'm going to borrow my mums black boots [same size feet], so all i need now is the choker, the leather jacket and some gloves. the_boy said he was going to go as green arrow. in comic land green arrow and black canary are together, so it works out well for us. maybe we can set up lovely_girl with a nice cute batman. what a story to tell the grand kids...
grand_kid "how did you and grand pa meet nan?"
lovely_girl "i was catwoman and he was batman, and the rest just came naturally."
anyway, this is what my baben' alter ego looks like.
the green arrow is a bit of a dorky looking dude so i'm not going to ruin the wonderful aesthetics of my blog with a picture. you can google him. and if you don't want to, just imagine a slightly camp, comic hero version of robin hood [if you can].
while we were in the comic shop today we found some doctor who comics and were rather smitten with the fact that the comic book doctor looks like david tenant. this got me thinking. perhaps new doctor who comic doctor will look like matt smith. oh man, what a dream. next time i'm in the comic shop im going to ask the comic book dudes to hold me the new series of the doctor who comics as soon as the comic doctor starts looking like matt smith. i went looking to find when this might happen but when i googled doctor who comics i found this. no, you are not mistaken, this site does enable you to make your own doctor who comics. ah-maze-ing. god, how good would matt smith look in comic form... hot. i would buy two copies of the comics and put the pictures on my walls. yummy.
but i'm not allowed to go near matt smith on account of me having the boy and lovely_girl currently being single [but perhaps only til saturday, if you're reading this batman, be at fed square at 10am] so she has bagsed him. though he is on my list with edward norton and sam rockwell, so when i am allowed near him again, it's on.
i signed up to the chuck palahniuk fan site mailing list because i was reading the ebook on saturday night and found out that he consults closely with the site people, is a bang up guy, and answers all of his fan mail. he is not accepting fan mail at the moment [i think because he's working on his next novel] so i have signed up so i know when the address to send fan mail to is put back up on the site as soon as it happens so i can send him a letter telling him how much i love him and to come to australia.
anyway, every one has gone to bed which means the heater will go off soon and as it is still raining and i love falling asleep with the heater on when it's raining outside im going to go straight to be now and read the real [non-abridged for dumb people] version of "do androids dream of electric sheep?" until i dream of sheep.
Ah! Im the lovely_girl, that's nice. But where's my batman?
