• Captain America
• Batman
• Spider-Man
• Batman in flight

Batman & Gotham brooches, from I’m Your Present.

I acquired these vintage Batman brooches from Kelly (of I’m Your Present) a few years ago. The Bat-symbol brooch is a permanent fixture on one of my cardigans, while the Gotham brooch shows up sporadically in some of my ensembles.

Ramona Flowers Star Hair Clip, by Neighborhood Story, $6

Jamie created replicas of her infamous star clip that was featured on the cover of Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, just in time for those of you who fancy being Ramona Flowers for Halloween/LIFE ★

Adam West Batman T-Shirt, by Head Hunter, $24.99 [available in men’s sizes S-XL]
Adam West Batman Scoop Neck Dress, by Head Hunter, $45 [available in sizes S-L]

Speaking of Adam West, t-shirt designer Head Hunter immortalized the infamous bomb scene from Batman (1966) on a selection of apparel on Etsy. I finally purchased this t-shirt as a belated birthday present for myself, seeing that Adam West and I are birthday twins (give or take several decades). I plan on reconstructing the shirt into a dress, but for those of you who can’t be bothered to cut and sew, this graphic is also available in dress form (as seen above)!

Ramona Flowers Subspace Coin Purse, by Neighborhood Story, $10.

Just the thing to carry all of your post-fight coin rewards!

It’s 3.35” in diameter and 1.25” deep and it can hold ALMOST as many coins as you see in the second image (unfortunately I don’t know how to sew subspace, otherwise it would be endless.) It’s fully lined with durable hot pink stretch denim, and closes with an (almost) matching turquoise zipper. ^_^

More color combinations are coming soon, but for now, this baby is ready to ship!

And for those of you who are looking to further capture Ramona Flowers’ swagger, Jamie is also selling an impeccably accurate custom-made Ramona Flowers jacket (as seen on the cover of Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe).
