Etsy scavenger: Fanmade Star Wars wearables

It’s Etsy time again! Once again, I have overextended myself in the search for handmade Star Wars stuff, and it’ll take several posts to clear it all out. Clearly a sign I should do this more often, no?

Get your hipster/geeky glow on with a metallic sweetheart sweater from cellophaneFlower. [Nerfherder Sweetheart Sweater, $35.50]

This Artoo hat from BabbidgePatch is our token male object, in that it’s the only thing we’re likely to see them wear. We hope. [Hat For the Man in a galaxy far far away, $20]

It’s summer, so you might as well grab a bikini top from morosemelonhead. (It’s on sale!) I’m guessing you probably shouldn’t wear it in the water, though. [Luke and Leia Together Again, $13]

But since a bikini top is probably not your best bet for everyday wear, how about a sweet sundress (or two) from Greatful Thread? [Repurposed Star Wars Dress, $50]

Or if you really want to go off the beaten path, how about the “Jedi inspired” backless hooded tunic from Glaciermilk? [Bang Bang, $123]

EUbits: Rebel Force #5, Bohnhoff on droids, reviews and a Clone Wars comic preview

Rebel Force: The official site gives us our first look at book five of Scholastic’s latest series, Trapped. (Is anyone reading these? I keep forgetting they exist.) It’s due out in January.

Like abs? Like laundry? You’ll love Comic Con!

Yes, the reasons ladies enjoy San Deigo Comic Con all come down to there being hot guys (and vampires!) there. What more could a woman ask for than this:

Women will be rushing the stage, offering to do star Jake Gyllenhaal’s laundry on those washboard abs that he acquired for the film, since he spends much of it fighting, shirtless or both. Jake, we don’t want to know how to quit you.

Mmm, laundry. We love laundry. But does the Gyllenhaal come in a front-loading model?
