I’m reblogging this on Fashion Tips, because:

1. It features one of my favorite pages in Batman Adventures (that I had previously featured).
2. You should all be following discopotential (aka Kevin Church), as well as Chris Haley’s ingenious creation, Kanye + Comics.
3. I’m still totally freaking out over how awesome this is. Thanks so much, Kevin! :D

Beauty tip: Refrain from sharing makeup with your friends (even with your bestie), to avoid spreading germs or diseases. However, in the case that you’re invulnerable to the toxins found in Poison Ivy’s lipstick, I’m pretty sure that the possible consequences of unhygienic makeup routines are the last thing on your mind.

I love the top row of outfit panels, especially Ivy’s purple dress and her camel brown ensemble with the white boots.

Back when I first read this issue several years ago, I remember thinking that the large giraffe stuffed animal was actually attached to Harley’s dress in the second outfit panel, which I quickly ruled out. It wasn’t until Jeremy Scott’s collaboration with Adidas last year that I started having second thoughts about the possibility of Harley rocking an outlandish giraffe dress years ahead of the curve.

If there’s anything that I’ve learned after years of Christmas shopping, it’s that the dressing room lines are usually far worse than the register lines during the holidays. However, in the event that Clayface starts a rampage in the mall, the dressing rooms tend to clear out pretty quickly.

On a side note, my New Year’s resolution for 2011 is to perfect the suiting up process until I’m as fast as Barbara.

Barbara Gordon’s blue coat kind of reminds me of this baby blue peacoat from Miu Miu:

I’m not quite sure if I would’ve coordinated this coat with a matching winter cap and ankle boots, but I do love how the dark grey gloves look with this color.

Renee Montoya & Harvey Bullock, undercover as a Christmas elf and Santa Claus at the mall during a stake-out.

As cute as Renee looks in the elf costume, they really should’ve given her a tailored Santa suit instead. Montoya can truly rock the menswear like no other.
