Look,we all know that Zatanna is so demonstrably hot that the merest sight of her makes adult males become quivering guppies...
...and we're all aware that, in a meeting to establish her authority as JLA leader, there's still nothing more important than focusing on Black Canary's buttcheeks...
But really--it's 2009 now, DC. What's up with the continuing obsession with fishnets? Yeah, I get the sexy, but come on, aren't we carrying it to fetish levels here? Can't we dress them in other ways?
If fishnets really were the be-all and end-all of feminine hotness, then why in the name of Harold Hecuba did Marvel ever change the Black Widow's costume from this:
To this?:
No exposed cleavage or buttcheek, no fishnets? Good lord, Marvel, what were you thinking?!? How could you make Natasha so unsexy?!?
I'm just sayin'...

Y'know, fishnets are NOT comfortable. In order for them to be strong enough to maintain their shape, they're made of a rather thick material -- almost like wearing little ropes all over your legs. And those little ropes tend to REALLY dig into your feet and toes if you happen to be wearing tight or otherwise uncomfortable shoes. They also don't have as much give as other types of tights/hosiery. About the only thing they have going for them, from a practical standpoint, is that they don't tear or get runs easily. They are NOT practical things for an action heroine to be wearing -- unless Zatanna and Black Canary have hit upon a supplier who's come up with strong AND comfortable fishnets that allow more movement than the average fishnets.
ReplyDeleteMore on the hidden side of fishnets (since Sea started it):
ReplyDeleteThey tend to loose some of their sexiness when you notice fishnet imprint bruises all over your legs from activity the previous day. Little black 'n blue lines. In a perfect fishnet pattern. Splotched up an down your thighs.
No, not me! I swear! They're constantly showing up on the Roller Girl! Rink impacts! S'part of the costume!
Very strange, though. Quite the puzzler before you realize what they're from.
Wow, I didn't even know that, Soup -- but then I've never been wacked in the legs while wearing fishnets. I certainly wouldn't want to wear them while playing PAINTBALL, though. Ow-weeee!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, in a world where spandex doesn't look stupid or lose its shape, I bet those fishnets aren't fishnets at all, but regular hose with a fishnet pattern on them.
ReplyDeleteZatanna: Was a fan of her Satellite JLA look, myself, with the snake broach and the very high boots.
Black Canary: Has had other costumes (the short haired Birds of Prey one was the best), but I bet she calls it a homage to her mother.
Black Widow: You know, sometimes too much is like not enough.
Eek! You leave Black Canary and Zatanna alone!
ReplyDeleteWidow does totally look better in the black leather catsuit though. That was the right move for her.
Sea they have a supplier....Its Places like Starr Labs, Wayne Tech, and lets not forget Kord Industries.
