Wonder Woman gets a make-over
The ABC is reporting this morning that Wonder Woman’s had a make-over. She’s been getting around in the same weird blue pants and shape-shifting bustier for 69 years, so she does indeed deserves a little fashion moment of her own. Complete with dark leggings and a sexy leather jacket, she looks more like a vampire-slaying Continue reading
