8 Hottest Female Super Villains
We picked the 8 hottest bad girls from comic book movies so see if your favorite villain made the cut…
#1 UMA THURMAN AS POISON IVY
BATMAN & ROBIN, 1997
The rash we would get from her is worse than any venereal disease, but we have a bottle of calamine lotion handy!
#2 REBECCA ROMIJN AS MYSTIQUE
X-MEN, 2000
We’ll let Rebecca give us blue balls…literally.
#3 MICHELLE PFEIFFER AS CATWOMAN
BATMAN RETURNS, 1992
One of our favorites, she can do no wrong.
#4 KELLY HU AS LADY DEATHSTRIKE
X2, 2003
Lady Deathstrike is Wolverine’s lady foe that he used to mess with. We’re lucky our psycho ex-girlfriends don’t have adamantium claws.
#5 JENNIFER GARNER AS ELEKTRA
DAREDEVIL, 2003
Elektra and Daredevil could never make their relationship work because they were kind of enemies. We’d be the bigger man and make peace if our rival was that hot.
#6 GIANNA JUN AS SAYA
BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE, 2009
A 400 year-old, half-human, half-vampire, has never looked so good. We wouldn’t mind putting our stake in her, yadadamean?
#7 DANIA RAMIREZ AS CALLISTO
X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, 2006
She plays the leader of the Omegas and Storm’s mutant enemy. Battle scenes with Halle Berry? Are we dreaming?
#8 ANGELINA JOLIE AS FOX
WANTED, 2008
You’d think we’d get sick of seeing her in so many action movies, but it never gets old with those hot lips mmmmm!
There U have it! the 8 Hottest Female that make your pant's shift like a heart beat :-D
RIP UNION :-(
Rest in peace to Union, NYC. Not “one” of the most important stores in our culture. THE MOST important. How many brands would be here if it were not for Union? (Maybe all of them.) Union was the second order I ever received when I started Staple in 1997. Back then Veto and MaryAnn were running the show. But long before that, when I was a young buck in New Jersey, I was taking weekly voyages to Union. NFC, Project Dragon, Ken Sport mixtapes, Pervert, Rock Hard, Conart…man, those were the days. I was like a wide-eyed kid in a candy store.
A few years later, I was among a select few that were part of a newer generation of brands that Union chose to represent. I started to learn the ropes. My other classmates were Doubledown, Milkcrate, 10Deep, BMBasement, Social Studies, Modern Amusement, Charizmatik and more. It’s amazing when you see where all these brands and individuals are today. The constant is that Union was always there—a foster home for ragtag creative minds that couldn’t find a place in the world. In 2009, we have Karmaloop, Urban Outfitters, Complex Magazine and I’ll say it, Reed Space. You no longer have to walk the streets, feel the streets or listen to the streets to appreciate what is known as “street culture”. In 30 seconds and 4 clicks, you can own an entire wardrobe of streetwear. In 2 minutes, you can download a mix CD that the DJ finished 1 hour ago. And in a mere flips of a magazine, you can see every limited edition sneaker the footwear companies are “leaking”. All from the comfort of your Lazy Boy. I’m not saying today’s world is better or worse. But what I am saying is that today’s world owes everything and then some to a 400 sq ft space on Spring and West Broadway called Union.

Habitat Footwear - Spring 2010 Collection
Habitat Skateboards will be releasing their very own line of footwear for Spring 2010. The skateboard label is known for their ultra-stylish graphics and designs, so it’s wonder that their first stab at a sneaker line isn’t a failure.
The collection includes both low, mid, and hi-cut sneakers, each sporting Habitat’s iconic logo and well-crafted color-schemes. There’s even a retro running-type shoe dubbed the Basin.
I have a hook up at Habitat so i know I will be rocking a pair next year fuh-sure!

MCA get well soon
I’ve been a huge Beastie Boys fan since their License to Ill (1986) album. This post goes out to Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys who was diagnosed as having a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. Luckily it was caught early enough to be localized and treated. Here’s too a speedy recovery and many more ill rhymes; my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Beastie Boys are the real deal in this rap game!

Air Jordan/New Balance
Sadly, it seems as if the Air Jordan “True Blue” III is destined to remain landlocked to European accounts on the other side of the pond. Fortunately, those willing to go above the retail sticker price can do so, as they have been recently re-stocked. $229-239.
New Balance is a classic brand that always delivers with their style and performance, and these are no different. A fresh shoe with a classic colorway how can you say no? $80

Street Dreams
Derrick Cabrera, like all skateboarders, dreams of being sponsored one day. He has all the talent in the world to make it happen but some major roadblocks to overcome before he can make the dream a reality. He is receiving pressure from all sides, his parents are stressing him because he is failing in school, his girlfriend thinks he is a loser, his best friend has become his rival because he is better than him. Things come to a head after Derrick gets arrested and a fight ensues with his father resulting in him running away from home. He does the only thing he knows how to do and opts to follow his dream to the Tampa Am contest, one of the only ways an unknown skater can get noticed.
