So DC rolled out a new superheroine today, an update of the WWII-era Fawcett Comics "Bulletgirl". ("Bulletman" kicks the bucket on page 5.) They're calling her "Bulleteer", with no apparent apology to Bill Black at AC Comics. The blurb:
When his experiments go awry, Harrower is suffocated under a coating of steel skin. His wife Alix survives the horrific accident only to find herself an outcast and a freak. Now jobless, alone, and encased in super-hard, living metal, she is a truly reluctant super-human.
The late Dr. Harrower is depicted as a superheroine fetishist, prone to spending time on the web at a thinly disguised "Superheroine Central" site and swapping sex fantasies with online role-players. His fetish and demise while attempting to make himself the equal of his superhuman fantasy girls demonstrate the truth of the old adage that life's a superbitch, and then you die. Harrower was fixated on invulnerability and breasts though not, apparently, in that order.

Grant Morrison is the creator of Bulleteer. Morrison's not-so-subtle circular gag is that Harrower's widow is likely to inspire far more superheroine fetishism than any of the late doctor's objects of onanism. It's hard to say for sure, but it looks as if Bulleteer has four or five cup sizes on Bulletgirl, and might even win the DC superheroines' wet t-shirt contest.
Powergirl is gonna be pissed. Perhaps not since an age-regressed Wonder Woman mocked the meager mammary developments of an age-progressed Wonder Girl in the 2000 "Sins of Youth" storyline has a DC title been so open about lactiferous tissue hypertrophy, i.e. spectacularly over-developed hooters.
Seriously - take a look at her. I don't mean to complain, and I'm sure sales will kick ass, but isn't it a bit much?
Some of you might already be familiar with Last Night's Party (LNP) - it's a site run by a fellow calling himself Merlin Bronques, and it's written up in today's Sunday New York Times Styles Section.
I'm supposed to casually use the word "scenester" in a blog post about
the site and this topic, but I can't bring myself to do it.
So Bronques gets himself into hot parties and then photographs everyone
in attendance with a digicam. He has a gift for capturing the
moment, and he's become kind of the Toulouse-Lautrec of early 21st
century New York. The whole thing is pretty much a yawnfest for
me - been there, done that - but he did get a nice picture of a
musclegirl showing off her stuff so I decided to link him. The girl looks a bit familiar, but I can't place her.
Women also seem very eager to pull down their tops for him, so you might not want to check the site at work.
Elee0228 posted a link to a site I remember from way back, Hiroki Yoshida's Lounge Pure.
It's a cute art site filled mostly with Hiroki's drawings of female
wrestlers. Just about all the women drawn have a pleasing
roundness to their limbs, though most are nowhere near as muscular as
the figure at right.
I've debated adding a Japanese art board to Amaz0ns, but to do that I'd
also have to enable Japanese language encoding on the site, which is
doable but the implied loss of control (I wouldn't be able to read what
was being written) scares me a little. I'd need to find someone
to moderate the Japanese art board who reads Japanese.
HerBiceps has had an eruption of very attractive, muscular women in its most recent update. Check out Lise Thexton and Tina Jo Orban, as well as Jennifer Chamberlain. There are others,
too - I don't mean to give them short shrift. But the three I
mention each made my jaw drop.
Thexton especially is a nice
surprise - she's a beautiful girl with a natural look, and she appears
to be about as
solid as the tree in the background. Rick Oliver is the
photographer (which means she's very likely Canadian, I'm afraid) so I'm sure
there's a lot more material to come.
There's a free photo of her here, and it appears she competed in a figure competition last month.
