This Too Shall Pass

Wonder Woman is the trending topic on the interweb, due to her new costume reveal in Wonder Woman #600.
Ok, looks like a stage outfit for a pop star. Girdle worn by Madonna or Pink. Janet Jackson leggins and boots combo. And a lil Members Only jacket. I don't know what's up with that choker around her neck... Jim Lee is normally a better designer than that.
But don't fret my pet... because this costume change ain't forever. Far from permanent!
The Celestine Prophecy taught me a lot about perspective... gained thru the passage of time.
With no further ado... I give you the many outfits of Wonder Woman.

What possessed them to go with the 60's clothing?!?
And is this Communist Sympathizer Wonder Woman below? Alert Faux News.
And these all white numbers would be Fashion Faux Pas after Labor Day.



Honestly, as silly as spandex shorts, with boots, or bikni top with jacket look, this was one of my favorites. But I enjoyed it more for the story I think. William Messner-Loebs had my favorite run on the book.
I only want to see you laughing in the Purple Rain.
Bitch Wonder Woman.

All her exposed skin, and perfection of a female form... have led many creative teams to put emphasis on her Warrior aspects.


Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard!


Water Sports or Spandex Fetish?
Jus' kiddin'. Wonder Woman IS a fetish. Period.

Modern Do Wonder Woman, ala Janet Jackson Hairdo.

Talkin' bout the Island of Lesbos. This Wonder Woman looks butch.

It always comes back to the classic design. It has stood the test of time! It is recognizable, and Iconic! And the current deviation in costume... is because people don't realize what they have till it's gone. Just like New Coke, just like Crystal Pepsi.... it will pave the way for the Classic Wonder Woman Costume to return.
And when we finally get a Wonder Woman movie... no one will be able to complain that it's sexist, without reporters and fanboys bringing up supporting data of how the other costume changes were EPIC FAILURES.
shout out to my boy V, who inspired this post.

You are right of course.

The look is SO unpopular - not to mention the rebooted back story - that it will go back to how it was.

WW without her classic costume is like Batman without a cowl or Green Lantern without a ring for petes sake.

Great post.

And yes - "V" inspired my post too :)

Thanks for the shout out. Just found out it only for a storyline... So happy.
