Ok, for a while, I’ve wanted a jacket modeled in part on that of Ace from the old Doctor Who series:
I want to use geek-related patches, like this one: http://www.stickergiant.com/imperial-walker_spsw62.html
But I can’t decide what to put them ON. Do I want to use a pleather base like hers, the classic pilot jacket? Do I want to use the modern MA-1 ripstop modern pilot’s jacket? Or go softer with a black hoodie or something? It’s just not cold enough here for a heavy jacket that much of the year, but I don’t want it to look lame. :/
Comics!.
1. What is your favourite movie based on a comic book?
Hmm, probably The Dark Knight or Watchmen. I tend to like them all fairly indiscriminately; I’m a bad fangirl.
2. What comic book superhero’s powers would you like to have, and why?
I’d have to say those of Meggan from Excalibur because she’s an empath, and this allows her to heal and talk to animals, as well as any person who needs help.
3. Who do you think is the best dressed comic book villain?
Assuming I can also use manga, and not just American comics, I’d say Sebastian from Black Butler. Otherwise, I’d have to go with Dracula or the Penguin… or Poison Ivy, though I guess she’s more UN-dressed. Though there’s something about Winter Soldier’s gear I find spiffy.
4. Who do you think is the best comic hero’s sidekick?
Arthur of course! (The Tick)
5. Which comic superhero would you most like to see destroyed by their archnemesis?
Hrm. I’m not a huge fan of Emma Frost; I liked her more when she was the White Queen and wore a more aesthetically pleasing tramp outfit, instead of her current UGLY tramp outfit.
But even more, I’d love to see Dr. Doom take out that Arrogant Guy with the stretchy powers… Doom 4ever!
I invite anyone interested in animal rights or social activism in general to listen to the 11/2/2010 episode of the Animal Voices podcast. Their guest is Carol Glasser, a PhD candidate in sociology, who is looking at the efficacy of militant activism in the cause of animal rights; she’s interested in how much and what kind of media attention it brings, how many animal lives are actually saved, and other aspects of strong interest to all of us. Her research has implications for other kinds of activism as well, including feminism and racial equality.
I heard it via iTunes, but their website will do streaming, as well.
