Coming soon to a beach near you: Iron Mankini! Daring to bare what other superhero movies prefer to keep undercover…

Downton Avengers! Because Iron Man 3 includes a Downton Abbey reference, so obviously I had to create a gratuitous costumed crossover…
I’m pretty sure that this is what a large portion of Tumblr wants for Christmas, if only we were able to actually purchase it. As soon as I work out how to put a big red BUY NOW button on this post that sends all proceeds to me, I’ll let you know…
One does not simply walk into Asgard, you know. However, a few people have access to one of Loki’s special plotholes…
The sort of Avengers joke for which I can only apologize. Sorry.
A groovy fashion look from LIFE magazine, September 1970. I bet the real Captain America is grateful that he wasn’t defrosted in the 1970s, if only because getting alien slime stains out of those leather fringes would have been absolute murder…
An Avengers exclusive with extra pointy things! Here’s my entirely fictional guide to what Agent Clint Barton will be pulling out in public when sequel time rolls around…

If Tom Hiddleston wants to be a magic elk, then far be it from me to deny him that pleasure…
If Thor uses Th’Oreal, I decided that Loki deserved his own haircare range. Well, not so much deserved as demanded in a diva-like way…
So I went to see The Avengers, loved it, and now feel an urge to make ridiculous jokes about it. Sorry, folks.
While I wait to see whether my brain does anything more with this shiny new source of fannishness, you can read my Avengers review (with SPOILERS) over here.
A magazine ad from 1959. But having recently seen the movie Thor, I can’t help thinking that this might be Odin and Loki on an early family holiday…
