Wonder Woman costume gets third celebrity makeover after criticism from Linda Carter?
[Apr. 7]
The new Wonder Woman outfit is not so super as an iconic costume says past Super Hero Linda Carter. Or at least that is what The Hollywood Reporter seemed to imply in an article about the celebrity makeover dated March 30. But what is the real story behind the comic book heroine and her keen fashion sense that made history?
The new 2011 Hollywood version of the wardrobe for the gold rope toting gal who fought on the side of right while wearing American inspired patriotic emblems flashed across her boobs and back side in the days of old is now lackluster at best say bloggers and comic book fans.
Proposed first as a modified sketch of the actress hired to play Wonder Woman, the Super Heroine was supposed to be dressed all in squeaky pleather looking vinyl. While the choice to wear the non-leather outfit might have made quite a few vegans happy, Americans who take their comic book super hero movies and television series seriously thought the outfit was hooker-endous. What’s more, it looked like Wonder Woman (invisible or not) could not sneak up on anybody.
Linda Carter was the actress who most remember as the Wonder Woman figure from the 1970s. With flowing dark brown raven locks, big blue eyes, and legs up to her neck, her satin hot pants and knee high boots worn with the most uplifting of bustiers was a celebrity fashion memorable to… well, quite frankly, just about everybody.
You did not have to be a man to be impressed by Linda Carter’s beauty. Linda Carter’s Measurements back int he day were 38-26-38, and she competed in Miss World USA pageant and Miss World USA, 1972 says Celebrity Sleuth magazine. The half Irish, half Mexican beauty was iconic with out without her lead role in the New Adventures of Wonder Woman television series simply because she was so lovely. Put her in a sexy super hero costume and BAM! The woman — as a woman’s role model and advocate for justice — became a vital part of American pop culture history.
