Wonder Woman doesn’t indulge, you guys. Stop asking.

Wonder Woman doesn’t indulge!

Still, I had to look up the Blue Moon cocktail of the 1940s:

2 oz. dry gin

1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice

1/2 oz. Crème Yvette or crème de violette (a liqueur made from violet petals and berries)

Lemon twist for garnish

Shake over ice and strain into a martini glass.

Milo cigarettes were a real brand that was specifically marketed to women (“For the woman of discernment…”) in the early 20th century. I don’t know if this is a form of product placement — a common form of advertising even in the ’40s — but, knowing William Moulton Marston, it’s more likely a criticism of bad habits.

If you are in NYC, be sure and catch this show before it closes!...

If you are in NYC, be sure and catch this show before it closes! It has some of my favorite art in it, including “Lick and Lather” by Janine Antoni, which I am SUPER obsessed with, and which kind of freaks my husband out.

LOVE. THESE. REDESIGNS. Kinda want the Catwoman hoodie.

theresthedoorspaceman:

STUNNING! These “practical” superheroine redesigns by Meredith McClaren are just to die for. I love how fashionable they are, how much they take into consideration the real world, there’s a practicality and function that is nevertheless completely badass. They’re also so far away from “basic catsuit” type stuff that it all feels so damn new and fresh!I mean…Look at that freaking Zatanna! I’ve never seen anything like that!

AND, you’ll be able to buy the original line art for some of these as she releases rewards this week for her AWESOME KICKSTARTER…although you guys are going to have to fight me for that Catwoman.

These are so amazing guys!
Meredith is beyond talented.
If you haven’t already you should go support her Kickstarter.

I want a movie about her, and another movie about Phoolan Devi, the Bandit Queen of India. Then I want a third movie that is a buddy movie where they team up and RULE THE FUCKING WORLD.

There is literally nothing better than a sexy, badass lady.

CHING MOTHERFUCKING SHIH

This lady was such a badass, I can’t count the ways, but let’s try.

She got married to an already successful pirate, Zheng Yi, and took over when he died. She was crazy strict to keep an iron fist over her fleet of pirates, and the punishments for stepping out of line were brutal. If you stole or looted from a town that provided assistance or tribute to the pirate fleet, Ching would chop your fucking head off with a battle axe and dump your lifeless body in the ocean. If you stole from the pirate treasury, or she thought you were stealing from the pirate treasury, Ching would chop your fucking head off dump your lifeless body in the ocean. Raping any captured female prisoners was punishable by immediate death. Fuck, if you had consensual sex while on duty you got your head chopped off and the woman was chucked off the boat no matter where they were at. Ching wasn’t fucking around, and she wanted to make damn sure you weren’t fucking around when you should have been working.

Two years after she took over, she got so notorious for ransacking towns and taking taxes on them that she pissed off the entire Chinese government, and sent out a massive fleet to bring her in line. Most pirates probably would’ve said this was out of their pay grade and taken off to hide out or ransack some other country.

Ching Shih said fuck that.

She not only faced them head on, she wiped the floor with them, killing hundreds and capturing sixty-something ships from the Imperial Fleet. Prisoners were given the choice of joining up or being executed on the spot. The Admiral of the Chinese navy, Kwo Lang, was so afraid of being captured by her or going back to admit he’d been beaten by her that he committed suicide.

For the next two years, Ching Shih not only kept on pirating, she fought off Chinese forces as well as Dutch and British warships that the navy called in to help. Finally the government gave up and offered her amnesty as well as amnesty for her then SEVENTEEN THOUSAND crewman. Ching Shih got to keep all her plunder, so she retired to the countryside where she opened up a brothel and lived until she was 69.

tldr: I’ve come to terms with the reality that I’ll never be as terrifyingly badass as this woman was.

i will be as badass as she

You know, I heard of her, but I’d either forgotten or never heard that she grew old and retired having never been brought down or defeated ever.

She won being a pirate.

She got history’s high score.

Can there be an assassin’s creed game about her? cause I would really like to play that.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag should have been about this chick instead

Can we just get a fucking video game about her? I want to play her.

I WOULD PLAY THIS :D

I would play the hell out of it
