Marilyn Monroe As Darth Vader

marilyn monroe darth vader art

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Marilyn Monroe in Darth Vader’s armor. Spanish artist Marta de Andrés wanted to make a statement about the strength of women and equality between men and women. This is one striking way to get her point across. I love the juxtaposition of evil Darth Vader and desirable Marilyn.

A few possible titles for this piece of art:

The Seven Year Sith
Some Like It Darth

Also, I can’t stop seeing Darth Marilyn singing “Happy Birthday Mister Palpatine” in my head.

Bad Wookie Felt Star Wars Mascot

bad wookie
J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot mascot really stands out from the crowd. It’s unique, hip and fairly adorable. You’ve seen it on his movies and TV shows.

However, Bad Robot has nothing on Bad Wookie. This adorable walking carpet was made by Etsy seller elenicreative and he stands a foot tall. He is completely hand stitched and made of felt. And completely awesome. He’s been known to pull a droid’s arms out of their sockets, but you should be safe. He’ll cost you $850. and is totally worth it.

This Year’s Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments

Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments

Star Trek fans love to collect the new Hallmark ornaments every year and now Hallmark has updated their website with listings for the three Star Trek Keepsake ornaments for this year. The starship this year is the USS Enterprise-C. It is just under five inches long, and has a battery powered light-up feature.

Next up is Spock’s death scene from Wrath of Khan and rounding things out we have Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. I know I’ll be adding these to my collection. It’s a tradition in my family.

If Star Wars’ BB-8 Droid Were Designed By Apple

If Star Wars’ BB-8 Droid Were Designed By Apple

What if BB-8, that cute new spherical droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was made by Apple? That’s what designer/concept artist Martin Hajek asked himself. Thiese images are the answer. This BB-8 was made with extreme attention to detail. The droid would come in silver, gold, and space gray.

It would also feature that iconic glowing Apple logo on the side. Of course it would also cost way more than the competition and you would have to upgrade it every year, but no droid is perfect.

Make your next cosplay one to remember by wearing this Madame Vastra mask. This mask will help you to really capture the Silurian detective in all her glory. Of course you’ll have to supply your own Jenny for a partner and get a nice Victorian dress to go with it.

This mask is $350. from Etsy seller ExtremeKustoms. Try not to get into any fights with Sea Devils, but if you do make sure you get plenty of pictures. We would really like to see that.
