Sexy... Nay, Sassy... Yay!

Inspired by the Cracked article on the five most sexist super hero costumes, I thought I'd throw in my two tongue in cheek cents to the topic also.

One things for sure, the folk who design them, certainly have a problem with female anatomy, but must think about tits and ass quite a lot!!

One comic faux pas, does appear to be having the ability to point ones boobs and ones ass in the same direction?

I'm pretty much in agreement with Cracked at their five choices.

But I do have a soft spot for poor old Starfire...

I remember saying a few days after I had given birth to my son and looking in the mirror...

''I was diggin' the Starfire boobs''

that I currently possessed, BUT I wasn't kicking ass... 

*note I had a rough pregnancy, I took this time to read an entire run of the NEW TEEN TITANS!!!*

She was also designed for this exact purpose; to be so ridiculous and over sexed in appearance and ways, yet she possesses the charm and innocence that would win any hardened female over to being her biggest fan!... ick... kinda?

Well, not really as Wonder Girl is a thousand times better, but Starfire is favourable to her other female team- mate Raven.

It is fair to say that as decades pass the sillier the costumes get, so I'm going to balance this blog out with the top five sexy, yet well designed female super hero costumes.

So let’s do the worst first!

Number Five: POWER GIRL

Not much need to be said for this, except their great for resting a mug of coffee on, holding the remote control and hiding midnight snacks between!

Number Four: STARFIRE

But only her new oufit: I'm going to pinch this straight from CRACKED as it sums it up very very well, and it's lovely to hear a guy write this about such a stupid costume, he made me laugh with this.

''Starfire has always been the Captain Kirkiest character, a brightly colored alien demanding to be shown "more of this Earth thing called love," but her latest iteration is about as sexy as a speculum. It's certainly going for the right place, but it's so cold and clinically aimed that only those who've given up on regular sex could enjoy it.''

NAIL. HIT. RIGHT. ON. HEAD! Bravo!!

So, let’s not forget;  Here we have a subservient princess who’s had an accident with a bottle of Fake Bake, who comes to earth to learn about the joys of shagging earth men, likes to walk about naked and wins the heart of Robin. Nice!

Number Three: WONDER WOMAN.

Why, oh, why, would an Amazonian princess wear a thong?

In what use would wearing a thong be when crime fighting, she doesn't even have to worry about VPL!! As she's ditched the skirt.

 *sigh*

Number Two: Not a hero but there you go.

BOO!

I changed the game on you!

POISON IVY.

Originally the chestnut haired sultry lady to an increasingly green and orange plant like humanoid with strategically placed leaves and a penchant for Katy Perry songs! (because we know the boys like that right???... Sure! Every girl likes girls… rolly eyes)

But topping my NUMBER ONE POSITION IS:

This new DC Catwoman...

Apart from the awful story line running through the comic, the art is so off kilter it looks like it's drawn so we can just get as much T&A in there as poss? Jeez...

If there was ever a panel which could be defaced with childish school pranks, then this has to be it!!

But what kinda scares me; from what I read of the first issue of this book, those school boy scribbles could be quite accurate! Ugh...

So now the bad and ugly have been done with, the top five Sexy, Smart and Sophisticated Super heroine costumes.

Number Five: BLACK CANARY

Note the blue legs people!!!

I've never figured why they got reduced to just fish nets. I always assumed they were a pattern on the legging.

You're lucky if a pair of fishnets last a night out on the town dancing, let alone road trips across America helping out two green boys every now and again.

Number Four: PHANTOM GIRL

It's cute, it's sexy, and it would hold average sized boobs in place, being a little cheeky but still leaving a whole lot to the imagination, I LOVE this costume.

Number Three:  CATWOMAN

Bronze Age Catwoman.

In my heart of hearts, if I was to get uber geeky for a moment, and I shall... this is the costume I'd want to wear if I was a character in the DCU,  just as long as I had a BATMAN to catch with a cool car!!!

Number Two: HUNTRESS

The Big Bs daughter... Simply Purplicious!!

Number One: THE PHANTOM LADY!

The ultimate femme fatale costume, it's so easy for this to go tits up!

No pun intended!!

But if done correctly, it's about suggestion only, and you'd literally be able to knock the bad boys off their feet.

So there you have it, one geeky girl’s geeky view on geeky gear!
