Looks like The Lord of the Rings has now entered the world of high fashion. Odd-Style, a shop for “underground street style” apparel just released a collection of clothing inspired by the Nazgûl AKA Ringwraiths of The Lord of the Rings. Odd Style was able to capture the spooky nature of the Ringwraith’s cloak into a fashionable (and probably very comfortable) cloak and hoodie hybrid. I have to say that I would be down to wear such a cloak if I didn’t end up looking like a six foot Ringwraith that had one too many donuts. Now, I have to ask. Does this cloak come with a sword?

Bow and arrows are cool. It’s even cooler when it’s being wielded by Sylvanas Windrunner from World of Warcraft. Thanks to Filipino freelance model, Vea Novenario, the “Queen of the Forsaken” gets the cosplay tribute she deserves. All Vea needs to complete her Sylvanas cosplay is a few dozen minions to take down some dreadlords.

I think it’s every parents duty to make sure that their beautiful babies grow up to be Star Wars fan. Thanks to New Zealand based apparel company, Teapot Tees, you can dress your kids in the coolest threads from newborn to toddler. “A Newborn Hope”? “The Infant Strikes Back”? “Return of the Toddler”? What about “The Pooping Menace”? Sadly for anyone living in the United States, each tee will cost you $21 and a hefty $12 on shipping just to get it to your doorstep from New Zealand. Regardless of the price, I think these are worth ever credit. I’m looking forward to picking up a few for my son.

This is pretty amazing. Joe met Emily while working at a tattoo shop a few years ago and like most fairytales, Joe and Emily fell in love and have been together ever since. Now, Joe is ready to pop the big question to the love of his life and needed a proper engagement ring to present to Emily when he asks the big question. Instead of going to the local jewelry store, Joe threw out a plea on Custom Made for someone to help him create an one-of-a-kind engagement ring inspired by the one and only, R2-D2 from Star Wars!
Hello, my name is Joe. I am a Graphic Artist and Tattooer in the North Jersey metro area. I was recommended to this site by one of my closest friends and CustomMade builder Endless Design. This is my first project with CustomMade and I have to admit, I am really excited to get the ball rolling. I am looking for an enthusiastic professional to make my R2D2 themed engagement ring a reality… I am hoping to find a maker who can match my fanatical Star Wars enthusiasm. I believe this can and will be a truly unique piece for both us and your portfolio! Anxious, Joe P.
Lucky for Joe, Paul Bierker from Paul Michael Design answered the call and brought Joe’s vision for the perfect ring to reality and I have to admit, this is one of the coolest rings I have seen in a very long time. It’s charming, classy, and has Artoo written all over it. Just in case you were wondering how this story ends, Emily said yes. Of course she did. Didn’t you see that ring?! Congratulations to Joe and Emily. May the Force be with you forever.

Just in case you ever find yourself on Tatooine dealing with scum like Jabba the Hutt, make sure you pick up a Huttese translator ring before you agree to anything because who knows what the heck Boss Hutt is yapping at you. It’s not like you will have a Huttese translator droid on hand all the time. Mind as slip one of these suckers on before you agree on the terms on how many Ewok pelts he’s willing to buy. At the price of 14 credits, it will practically pay for itself (and it looks pretty bad ass as well).
Where to buy: Amazon
The talented folks at Black Milk Clothing is at it again by taking Star Wars and adding a whole lot of sex appeal to it. Black Milk just released their newest Star Wars inspired dresses, leggings, and swimsuits. The classic R2-D2 dress and swimsuit got an upgrade and iconic characters such as Boba Fett and Darth Vader finally got some love from Black Milk. In addition to the merc and the Sith Lord, Black Milk also dazzled up a cool polyester/LYCRA skin tight dress with the almighty Death Star. Hopefully, the Death Star dress doesn’t have any weak point as this might lead to some awkward clothing malfunctions. Considering how cool Black Milk Clothing’s Star Wars line is, I have to say that I have mixed feelings about the Ewok dress. What is it about that Ewok dress that I want to shoot it with a blaster regardless if there is a cute girl wearing it. Oh well.

Earlier this year (2012), I was given amazing news that my wife was pregnant with our first child. After a couple months, we found out that we were going to have a little boy. Since then, our lives has all been about preparing our lives and home for the arrival of our son. One of the things that I really wanted to do is create a nursery for my son. I didn’t have a nursery when I was born so I wanted to make the effort to create an amazing nursery that my son would love. For a few weeks, I was going over ideas on what type of theme I wanted to design the nursery. Everything from Star Wars, Toy Story, and Adventure Time came up, but I couldn’t decide. That was until I came upon Eisner winning comic artist, Skottie Young’s amazing variant “Marvel Babies” covers for Marvel Now!. As soon as I saw Skottie Young’s newest work, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. An Avengers themed nursery.
As simple as that might sound, you would be surprised how difficult it is to find Marvel products suitable for a nursery. Majority of the Marvel Comics products you can find out in the market is really made for young children and adults and not meant for infants and toddlers. So, I decided that instead of buying random Marvel goods and throwing them into an empty room hoping they go together, I decided to create some simple Marvel themed decorations and paint a giant mural using Skottie Young’s amazing artwork. After two long months of paint spills, Sharpie fumes, paper cuts, and losing sleep, I finally finished the nursery. It was a blast putting it together and hopefully my son will enjoy it as much as I do. I hope Marvel will take notice and take steps to license their iconic characters to a company that can produce Marvel licensed infant and toddler appropriate products for the next generation of geeks.
Hit the jump and enjoy!
