“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )

Tend to agree, though, that the animated series Catwoman's got a certain something. She's no Harley, but who is?
Actually, I meant that the movie Catwoman isn't represented, and the ones that are are deeee-lish. Didn't fully suss out the variations of the ones that are there, but as an Eartha Kitt/Julie Newmar frottage fan, I had to chime in.
ReplyDeleteFun fact - Adam Hughes, current cover artist of Catwoman, was really enthused about the newer costume because "it's something you can buy at any local sex shop!". Might explain your preference for the newer version. :P
ReplyDeleteIn Japan it's quite easy to find the cosplay gear for the old Pfeiffer costume. Er, so I hear...
