Tim Gunn, Fashion Critic to the Superheroes
I’m not exactly sure how Alan Kistler of Craxy Sexy Geeks managed to get Project Runway‘s Tim Gunn to sit down and give his opinion of superhero and superheroine costumes, but man am I glad he did. Not only does Gunn give his honest opinion — he actually likes Power Girl’s outfit, and he explains why — he takes the whole thing totally seriously, which is really, really nice. Thanks to everyone who sent this tip in. (Via Comics Alliance)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
