Thursday Threads - BlackMilk's Marvel New York Collection

Hooray for BlackMilk's new Marvel New York Collection. 

As if BlackMilk wasn't enough of a draw on it's own, now they are trying to entice me to empty my wallet once again with a great and daring new collection of superheroes and super clothing

Just look at these dresses! I want every one, starting with that Captain America Marilyn dress, then quickly followed by the reversible Spiderman/Venom number 

I'm loving the Wasp skirt and really badly want to add it to my collection

Not sure how I feel about overalls and jumpsuits, but I could be convinced to lounge around the house in the latter or any of these great leggings

I'm glad that they are still making bathing suits, but I wish that they would have more selection. Same goes for these kick-ass jackets 

The shirts are not my style, but BlackMilk seems to like them and you might too. I'd be more likely to use them for workout clothes. 

 So, what's your take on this new super collection? I think it's right up my crime-fighting ally

Calvin And Hobbs Take On Comic Books

Who doesn't love Calvin and Hobbs?

When I see Calvin and Hobbs I think of my childhood and the awesome imagination that comes with it. Anything and Everything was real and you could make anything you wanted happen.

Calvin is the perfect example of this.

So what would happen if Calvin was more into comics?

Well... you get this

Yes, the plot of Spiderman really does seem like a story told by children, doesn't it? Guess that's kind of what makes it awesome.

Chainsaw Batman and Tyranno-Shark!!! YES!!!!!

We totally need more of this! We need an entire comic of this!!

But since there isn't one (other than the original) you should check out It's a Good Life, a web comic by Ninjaink, who drew these fantastic comics.

Thanks to Nerd Approved for approving of Chainsaw Batman, but then again, who wouldn't approve?

Spiderman's Most Impressive Talent Is Sewing

Spidy-sense, wall crawling, web slinging, these are cool, but Peter Parker's real talent is in sewing awesome costumes

I wonder if I sat down with a friend and randomly handed them a Spiderman costume, if they would just automatically believe that I was a superhero. This guy's faith in his friend is the real superpower.

thanks to Fatawesome and Fashionably Geek for knowing amazing sewing skills when they see them.

Marvel Jewelry

Oh Geek Jewelry, you make me so happy!

I'm so excited the retailers are finally getting that women are geeks too. Finally they re making things that fit with both our femininity and our geekdom. The newest part of this is Marvel Jewelry.

Marvel and 1928 have teamed up to bring us some awesome earrings, rings and necklaces!

Spiderman

As much as I like the Spiderman jewelry, it kind of reminds me less of the comic book hero and more of jewelry you'd find around Halloween.

Captain America

knowing my face as well as I do, these earrings would look silly on me, but I still really want them. I'd probably make them into studs and use the rest of the links to make bracelet. Also, I'd probably turn the necklace into a hair clip.

Wolverine

I totally love these earrings! I want to make my own Wolverine costume at some point and these would go perfectly with it.

The Punisher

The earrings totally scream Punisher to me, but the ring is a little hard to tell. Unless you get a close look at it, it's going to be hard to see the skull logo. Then again, unless you know who the Punisher is, you probably won't understand the earrings either.

Thor

I really, really, really, really, realllllllyyyyy want these Thor earrings! How cute are they with Mjolnir and the lightning bolts? Even the Mjolnir ring is awesome!

While researching this, I came across these other great earrings from Think Geek.

These are totally more my style. I love a good pair of studs. Yes, I know Batman isn't Marvel, but he's awesome, so I don't care :P 

So, what piece do you like? Would you buy them for yourself/significant other? Do you think I could pull any of these off? Drop me a line and let me know

Thanks to Fashion Tips From Comic Strips, Think Geek, Comic Alliance, and 1928 for helping us girly geeks show our Marvel Pride!
