David Bowie Is A Scary Monster. I Mean, A Scary Doll.

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:31 pm, February 18th, 2013

Correction. Several scary dolls. E.V. Svetova aka Katyok on DeviantArt, has created amazingly life-like dolls based on the many looks of David Bowie. (Remember those other realistic dolls?) They are absolutely not for sale with one exception. She writes, “Unless you are David Bowie, I cannot make a custom Bowie doll for you. Please, accept my apologies.” And in case you were wondering, yes, there is a Jareth version…

Outrageous Pop-Culture Nail Art Is Cosplay For Your Fingers

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:30 pm, December 1st, 2012

As people who type for a living, we here at The Mary Sue can’t really afford to put really fun things on our nails. But that doesn’t mean we won’t “ooh” and “aah” at other people who do. We’ve featured KayleighOC’s nail art on the site before but realized she had a plethora of new styles you need to see.

Art Nouveau Prints For All the Non-Disney Princesses

by Susana Polo | 10:18 am, November 13th, 2012

Okay, Lydia Deetz and most of the other female characters featured in Kishokahime’s DeviantArt gallery aren’t princesses, but you know what I mean. They’re the leading ladies of a bunch of animated and genre films from an era that corresponds to a lot of childhoods these days. And they may not get as much play in the media as Cinderella, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about them. So here’s to the strange and unusual movies where unicorns are a far more likely occurrence and Tim Curry is almost always the villain.

This Guy Made David Bowie Look More Awesome Than Normal In Labyrinth [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 9:34 am, September 27th, 2012

Before watching this video, bear in mind it could take David Bowie down a level of coolness for you. Who are we kidding, Bowie is on the Mount Everest of cool already, this shouldn’t make too much difference. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at one particular aspect of his role as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth – his crystal balls. Listen as Jim Henson and Bowie discuss the real man behind the magic, a juggler named Michael Moschen.

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:35 pm, July 16th, 2012

The sheer amount of costuming going on at Comic-Con is mind-boggling.
