Just in time for the college set to break out the mini-skirts, tank tops, engagement rings, and furry boots (it is summer, after all), comes the “I Do” collection from Ugg. Ugh. The wedding collection of furry foot ovens includes a sequin bomb boot (pictured left), a shearling covered “fluff”…

Paul Wilson’s on a mission to redefine Lee Harvey Oswald — yes, the Oswald famed (or framed) for assassinating President John F. Kennedy. “I want him to be innocent,” Wilson says. “In my reinvention of the man I have chosen to depict him as he might have been, had he…

Over the weekend, countless Phoenix Comicon girls showed up to Downtown convention rooms dressed (and undressed) as super-heroines and sci-fi divas, including Superwoman, Catwoman, She-Hulk, and plenty of pin-up girls.
