It's Technical

You, Yes You, Can Make a Skirt That Lights Up When You Walk [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:35 pm, May 17th, 2013

In the video above Becky Stern refers to this LED motion sensor project as (paraphrasing here) “electric bedazzling.” To borrow from my Southern linguistic heritage for a moment: Butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I’m sold. The basics are in the video; for step-by-step instructions, visit Adafruit.

For A More Civilized Age

A Fashionable Reminder To Ignore Internet Comments

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:21 pm, April 23rd, 2013

We’re lucky here at The Mary Sue to have a healthy comment section (with light moderation). And we know we’re lucky because we practically live on the internet, we witness how bad it gets out there on a daily basis (I even started a tumblr dedicated to how weird it can get). Well it just so happens Etsy user CupcakesAndMace is selling this necklace in a variety of colors to help remind you (and others) to stay far away from comment sections. They write, “Take brilliantly written articles with a spoon full of sugar instead of a squeeze of lemon in the eye and stop reading the comments. The world will be a brighter place when you forget how many idiots there are out there.” If you need some extra help, you could also follow this Twitter account.

Comic Books Meet Fashion Week With Katrina Navarro’s Superhero Designs

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, February 12th, 2013

Katrina Navarro writes, “As you can tell, I love comics and superheroes. At the same time I also love fashion. I thought wouldn’t it be great if I could go out dressed up like a Superhero but in a not so obvious way.” Indeed! I’m not very fashionable myself (my drawers are filled with t-shirts) but this is exactly the kind of thing I’d wear if I wanted to dress up. Take a look at what Navarro was able to make by putting regular clothing items together to create superhero-inspired looks.

Guys I Think Carrie Underwood is in The Hunger Games

by Susana Polo | 10:19 am, February 11th, 2013

Last night at the Grammys Carrie Underwood stood stock still in a silver satin dress to sing her hit “Blown Away.” After an evening where one band was literally, intentionally rained on, it seemed somewhat subdued. At least, it did until the projectionist started up. May the odds be ever in Ms. Underwood’s favor.

The Men Of Star Wars Walk The Runway In Designer Threads

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:29 pm, January 19th, 2013

John Woo (not the Face Off director, he insists) has created a series called “He Wears It.” It features mostly Star Wars men (and one lady) in outfits you wouldn’t see members of the Galactic Empire wearing. Perhaps this is what they prefer to rock while on leave? You can find limited edition prints of most of these in his Etsy shop but take a look at what Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, C-3PO, and more are stepping out in these days.

“Who are you wearing?”

by Susana Polo | 12:12 pm, January 17th, 2013

It’s awards season, so in those moments where you can’t believe the tv guide said the broadcast started at seven and that meant an hour of actors being interviewed about their roles and actresses being interviewed about their dresses before you actually stand a chance of finding out who won best Hair and Makeup (it’s The Hobbit, seriously, thirteen dwarves), just repeat Madéleine Flores‘ comic to yourself. You can see more of her stuff here, and even buy it here. Yes, even her take on dressing for your body type.

Cartoons Go Couture: Animated Ladies Paired with High Fashion

by Susana Polo | 3:31 pm, January 15th, 2013

Princess Bubblegum is equally a monarch, a scientist, and a girl who knows how to get her dress on, and I respect that. I’m still willing to bet that Marceline is around somewhere, sniggering at this. But maybe the leading lady of Adventure Time is to recent of a reference for you? Then check out the rest of Jerome LaMaar‘s cartoons, featuring characters from Sailor Moon, ThunderCats, Jem, and Daria.

This LEGO Purse Will Fit With Any Outfit

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:35 pm, December 20th, 2012

We showcased some seriously chic Karl Lagerfeld/Chanel LEGO purses before but for something softer, and equally cool, Karen Booker has the answer. Her Block Bag is a 10:1 scale replica of a LEGO brick. It’s made from cotton denim and is selling for $99. And if you like the look, there’s a LEGO pillow, too!

Her Universe Celebrates The Women Who Love Sci-Fi With Hot Topic [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:30 am, December 9th, 2012

When we found out HerUniverse.com was teaming with retailer Hot Topic, we were very excited. Why? Because it meant more people would lay their eyes on the fantastic merchandise Ashley Eckstein has helped create for women who love sci-fi (Have you seen the latest?). Here’s a great video Hot Topic put together where we find out a bit about Eckstein’s background and hear her talk about the character she voices on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano.
