"Monsters in My Cortex" T-shirt + Grr Arg Monster Necklace

Even after featuring Etsy’s monster shops, I’ve only scratched the surface of the monster-y goodness that exists on the web, and I can’t help but look for more!  So the “Monsters in My Cortex” T-shirt by Jean Jullien ($25.00) is eerily apt.  Add a little more humor with the Grr Arg Monster Necklace by Finest Imaginary (£6.99) and you’ve got yourself a monster-loving outfit!

From Beetlejuice by Tim Burton

I can’t have Halloween without Beetlejuice: ever since I was a kid, I’ve watched the movie every Halloween night.  I’ve always loved Tim Burton’s cartoony gothic style, with graphic black and white stripes and strange creatures galore!  Here is a collection of clothes and accessories that mimic the looks of Beetlejuice, from the miniature graveyard to the many cameras of Lydia (Winona Ryder):

However, ripping open your blouse to reveal these crime-fighting ensembles is not recommended.

Brutal Legend from Double Fine Productions

The much anticipated Brütal Legend came out this week, created by the always awesome Double Fine Productions and starring Jack Black.  As a big fan of Psychonauts, I’m really looking forward to this game.  The visuals look amazing and the story is unique, so I say rock on!  Here are some pieces that get me in the mood for metal:

Gucci and The Fifth Element

Frida Giannini’s collection for Gucci is a mix of streamlined sci-fi and modern sporty attire, reminiscent of the zany science fiction movie The Fifth Element.  The first dress down the catwalk resembles the bandage outfit Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) sported in her first scenes of the movie:

Jonathan Saunders and Let the Right One In

Partially inspired by the Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In, Jonathan Saunders’s collection is pale and muted with pops of vibrant color.  None of the film’s darkness is encapsulated in the collection, but the whiteness of the snowy landscape and the paleness of both vampire and human is captured perfectly.  The makeup and hair of the models is simple and reminiscent of the main characters of the movie:

Spring 2010 Ready To Wear Fashion Shows

Apocalyptic sci-fi and gothic romance made big splashes in this year’s Spring 2010 Ready To Wear fashion shows.  From Gucci to Versace, designers gleaned inspiration from fantasy, horror, and apocalyptic sci-fi to create beautiful and otherworldly pieces.  This week, I’ll be counting down my Favorite 5 Fashion Shows and how their looks intersect with science fiction and fantasy.

And who knows: maybe the fashion of today will become a staple of the science fiction of tomorrow!

Scribblenauts outfit

Scribblenauts is a very cute, fun game, and the character designs are all unique and adorable.  The main character, Maxwell, has a great outfit with lots of cool greens and blues, topped with a fiery red hat to give him some contrast.  It’s kooky yet comfortable, so an outfit inspired by his duds includes cashmere, flats, and philosoraptors (aka. a velociraptor).  Check out his hat as well: if you didn’t get one when you ordered the game, there are a few on ebay.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy from Arkham Asylum

The new Batman game, Arkham Asylum, is pretty awesome, as everyone and their video game playing dog has asserted these past few weeks. However, the real highlight of most Batman series are the flamboyant but sinister villains: two female villains, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, appear in Arkham Asylum in some sexy new duds to match their villainy.  However, if the style of a crazy clown and a floral femme fatale is too risque, I’ve come up with two outfits inspired by their famous Batman eccentricity!
