Hot Chick of the Week: Tanit Phoenix

New Hump-Day feature here in my blog... my choice for Hot Chick of the Week.  Check back every Wednesday for more hotties.

In case you haven't heard, there's a new Wonder Woman television series in the works.  Rumor mill has South African model Tanit Phoenix possibly wearing the star-spangled leotard.  Judging from these photos of Ms. Phoenix, it's a show I would most definitely watch. 

Who needs a lasso of truth?  Just wear this outfit and I'll tell you anything you want to hear.

Ever joined the Mile High Club in an invisible jet?

Batman's a FIB?

Hopefully Gotham's villains don't have access to Google Earth.  If so, the Joker may be taking a trip to Hinsdale, Illinois, where apparently the Dark Knight wasn't too cautious about decorating the swimming pool at Stately Wayne Manor.

Iron Man vs. Darth Vader

When I first saw the headline, my inner sci-fi nerdling child said, "No way - Darth Vader is a badass."

Fans of comics, anime and science fiction gather for Supercon in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

According to a Miami Herald article on Florida Supcon, “Villains, heroes and other staples of the animated universe were out in force Sunday, the final day of the third annual Florida Supercon convention at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott North.” Almost 3,000 were expected to attend the three-day event.

Sandra Botero of St. Petersburg, dressed as Wonder Woman, and George West, 640 AM Mantalk morning entertainment reporter, horse around at Florida Supercon on Sunday. A member of the League of Villains, Botero was contemplating a wardrobe change into one of her naughtier comic book personae, Catwoman.

Vendors sold classic comic books, ornate swords, costume contact lenses and more. Britani Farley, 20, and her boyfriend Shayank Lopez, 19, of Palm City, dressed as Zelda and Link from the video game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. ''I love dressing up,'' said Farley. “It's like being a celebrity for a day.'' Fellow League of Villains member Ryan Kennemore, 29, of Cumming, Ga., was dressed as Robin in a yellow cape and black mask. Kennemore said she was in greater demand on Saturday, however, when she showed up dressed as Harley Quinn, the Joker's girlfriend.

''Anybody can be a hero,'' Kennemore said. "It takes work to be a villain.''
You can dress like either one you choose, with costumes and accessories from Annies Costumes.
