Nyx: Guardian of Hot Topic

If there is one thing that has become obvious to me it's that a larger amount of the RLSH shouldn't be allowed to dress themselves none the less go outdoors with the abortions they call their 'uniforms', which is a great term to use because Rubies Costumes has far more taste than these fashion dullards and they're biggest customers are under the age of ten. Never fear, my fashion-challenged darlings; Lav-Leo is here to give your poor souls guidance! Today's victim: Nyx.

Hailing from Corny, Kansas and currently residing in "Northern" New Jersey, Nyx bills herself as someone who "wants to help the helpless and protect the innocent. Uplift humanity though good acts. Prevent people from having difficult times and help people get through difficult times when she can’t. " Well isn't that sweet. It's too bad she has to make those same people suffer by looking at her horrid taste in 'uniforms'. What not to wear?

THIS.

The first time I saw this picture I had to slap myself because she wasn't close enough for me to smack the shit out of her for even thinking she or any living human could pull this look off. I know 'Jersey is well known for being the garbage dump of world, but a landfill still would have been a better place to shop than Hot Topic. Allow me to go fetch a hammer so I can break this atrocity down piece by horrid piece.

Fishnet top: Didn't these go OUT of style, like, twelve years ago? Seeing as the majority of the RLSH either retire or get SHOT you'd think she'd have the intelligence to wear something a bit more purposeful. Of course, you'd be wrong because displaying her pasty, possibly blood-constricted TITS is more important than buying some hobo-stab-insurance. Speaking of Nyx's best assets...

$15 Hot Topic brand bra: Jeeze, those things must be cutting the circulation off to get brain. If I'm not mistaken young ladies that walk around showing off their goods like this are often called SLUTS, and cheap ones at that. I guess she has to get Phantom Zero to take off his mask somehow.

Matching stripped arm-warmers and stockings: Okay, she was able to at least pick the same color and style which tells me she isn't completely RETARDED, however wearing stripped anything on both your arms and legs makes you look like a court-jester. So take the pantyhose off your hands, please.

Aluminum and fake-leather studded bracelets: Following the whole 'goth' thing I'm guessing, Nyx at some point thought it was a good idea to include some cheap-ass-next-to-the-check-out bracelets. These haven't looked good on anyone ever. E-V-E-R!

Poorly constructed Lip Service/Tripp laced corset: Correct me if I'm wrong (which I never am), but aren't corsets made to tighten the frame and make someone look LESS fat? Y'know, instead of being loosely worn with a buckle of fat poking out? I think it's time someone started eating Subway Fresh!

Lip Service/Tripp skirt with pointless studs and chains: Oooo, spooooky! Once again, aren't crime-fighters suppose wear things to match their environment? I guess it works if you're trying to blend in with HOOKERS, though.

Ghastly Heels: I don't even know where to start with these god-awful things. They look like a businessman's dress-shoes and his secretary's heels had an affair, gave birth to a cross-breed-shoe-child and then attempted to ABORT it. Why do they have laces? What purpose do these heels serve for fighting crime? Is someone just playing a sick joke on me by making this exist?

And finally, her mask: I'd wear one too if I dressed like that.

So the conclusion I've come to based on this poor, deluded girl's fashion IQ being a single digit is that she absolutely zero use in any form of crime-fighting unless it includes memorizing criminals with her ghostly white lumps and giving her 'patrol-partners' awkward boners. Sorry Nyx, you lost the game. Look on the bright-side, though; At least it can't get any worse.

Never mind.

Skiffy-What?


Okay, so it's mooore than obvious by now that a lot of the RLSH out there suffer from serious cases of the fashionably-challenged kind and while I do plan on critiquing their gaudy styles and insistence on constantly clashing, I would first like to address the biggest fashion-fopaux-of-a-train-wreck I've seen yet: Skiffytown League of Heroes.

I did a small amount of investigating on their site (seeing as the spandexed-sillies tend to get all bitchy when you use info from an outside source) and after all that one question still persists: WHO THE FUCK IS SKIFFYTOWN? Seriously, I couldn't find anything on their site that gave me any kind of real deep information on the individual members. In fact, the only ones I really recognized in pictures are ex-members of Who Wants To Be A Superhero seasons. Sooo I decided to take it upon myself to see how close I could get to guessing these clothing-catastrophes names. For the betterment of girlyboykind I will be taking a hammer to these peoples inner-wardrobes of a few of these walking 'what-not-to-wears'. Until then, enjoy! (Click on it to enlarge, you fucking goof! :D)
