Creating Garment Brands

Some time ago, someone posed a most interesting question: what would I name a fashionably overpriced clothing brand targeted towards the clubbing, promiscuous set?

Well, I thought, hip hop/clubbing gear tends to follow a couple naming conventions:

Complimentary descriptors (Forever 21, Foxy Lady)
Pretentious last names and initials (H&M, Ecko, Fredrick's)
Random non-English words (BeBe, Harajuku Lovers)
Painfully forced acronyms (L.A.M.B., LRG)
Misspelled atrocities (Akademics, Luxirie)
Kinky, eyebrow twitching, wtf was that adjective + noun (Wet Seal, Felicity's Fetiche)

So, taking that all into account, here's the product of my utterly mind boggling skills of creativity:
Provocative, Hedonic, Luscious, Inviting, Naughty Garments - PHLING

Hey, 4 out of 6 ain't bad.

Best. Political. Advertisement. Ever.


This is real.  I'm not making it up.  Possibly the best I've seen, in a dear-god-what-happened-to-American-politics kind of way.

Fight Club meets the Matrix


I've got high hopes for this; if it's anything like the comic, it'll be like bullets and orange juice.  Although there are shades of Mrs. Smith (not to mention Jolie's extreme raccoon-ess).  It's basically Bullseye taking on Superman/Batman's rogue gallery.

On another comic-y note, has anyone noticed Heroes turning into X-men?  I mean, they've got Taskmaster running around now.  Not to mention Adam, who's from ancient Japan, pulling strings all over the place.  Reminds me of a certain blue Egyptian guy called Apocalypse.  They should just call the show Emo-X and be done with it.

I'm looking for one of these



No, not a girl you snarky bastards.  And not the "Evil" cheerleader outfit either (which, admittedly, is quite lame).  No, I covet the jawbone face bandanna thingy.  For Halloween, of course.  Hopefully, my face is a lot larger than hers, so it won't look quite so... oversized.  Hot Topic has failed me, as have snowboard gear retailers.  Given my aversion to ordering crap online, I'm thinking... one of those Halloween stores?  We'll see.

Snake on Samus action



Okay, not really.  But it would have been hot.  Having said that, his specials are disappointing: grenades, rocket launcher, mines, helicopter thingymabob.  All of which are loud and obnoxious, hardly befitting of a stealth-action anti-hero.  Although having Psycho Mantis in Smash would have been cooler, Snake's bad ass enough.

So it was TV premiere galore last week.  Of course, I ended up glued to the television for long periods of time.  So, everything in a nutshell:

Chuck: awkward, funny, hot people.  Time-to-hottie(TtH): 30 seconds

Heroes: half the cast pisses me off (I'm looking at you, Mohinder/Peter/Nathan/telepathic detective dude/little tracker system girl/Micah/Claire's current love interest/Claire/running Mexicans/Niki [not Jessica]), but hey, Ando and Hiro are still awesome.  TtH: two episodes and counting.  Where the hell is Ali?
Journeyman: bad setup, lame premise, fairly awesome way to prove you're a time traveller.  Will discontinue watching.  TtH: no idea, haven't seen one yet

House: it's House.  TtH: half an hour

Bionic Woman: lots of rain, Starbuck as a wussy baddie, weird looking heroine.  On the fence... maybe I'll give it another episode.  TtH: ten mintues

Life: quirky.  Too quirky.  Not much happened.  Pretty boring.  TtH: fifteen mintues.

Reaper: shades of early Buffy, fairly unoriginal premise, fawesome.  TtH: ten minutes.

So, this fall, it looks like Chuck, Heroes, House, Reaper (must record one... boo), and maybe Bionic Woman for me.  Hooray for the boob tube.
