Just to clarify, that picture on the left with the original drawing of Lola Bunny is not from the movie itself (and is even more sexualized than the movie version). But you get the point; some people are angered to see Lola… yes, the cartoon character, without prominent breasts. As another fan reacted:
Ironically enough, in Simone Rocha’s early days showing at London Fashion Week, the most truly subversive thing you could do was go against the punk-influenced grain of the time. Back when the leather-and-chain-clad off-duty model ruled, Rocha presented a counter-narrative larded with lace, bows, pearls, and, yes, even the dreaded pink. A look from the collaboration.

Happy Halloween… five months later. Time is weird in Purgatory, to say the least, so it should come as no surprise that Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 8 aired a Halloween special in mid-March. But hey, with everything crazy going on globally, celebrating All Hallows’ Eve just days before spring is probably one of the least weird things to have happened over the past year. Though this is somewhat contradictory from my last review where I criticized the series for incorporating random ‘monster of the week’ subplots when there’s only a handful of episodes left before the series signs off for good, this…
Fabio Lanzoni (yes, he has a last name) looms large in U.S. pop culture. With his comically outsized masculinity, he shills products like I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and Old Spice. He makes cameo appearances in such cinematic classics as Dude, Where’s My Car? and Zoolander. And every one of those gigs arose from the job that originally propelled him into the spotlight: the meteoric rise of Fabio romance novels and cover modeling. Quintessential Fabio: the hair, the chest, the sword. The famous Fabio romance covers of the 1980s and ’90s were glorious, embarrassing, corny, sexy, or off putting,…

Breaking News Elizabeth Holmes won’t be standing trial in July — instead, she’ll be giving birth, so prosecutors are hitting the pause button on criminal proceedings.

That’s also when her trial was slated to begin. Both sides now say they want jury selection to begin on August 31, but the judge still needs to sign off on that.

Well, that didn’t take too long. About 18 months after Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame assailed to become the top grossing moving of all-time at the worldwide box office with $2,789.2 billion in July 2019, word is that James Cameron’s Avatar, which the Russo Brothers-directed Marvel movie defeated, will once again bounce back to reclaim that title.

That result puts the PRC gross for Avatar at an estimated $209.9M. Nancy Tartaglione informs…
