Cute Overload reader Claire H. sent in this great picture of her little kitty playing dress up. Before you get too excited about how awesome it is to finally see some female feline empowerment, let me be the first to tell you this kitty’s name is Harold.
Kitchen Aid’s Brazilian division offers this Wonder Woman-themed stand mixer. My wife likes Wonder Woman. Maybe I should get her one of these — provided that I can find a matching vacuum cleaner and toilet brush. They will no doubt be well-received.

deviantART user Pe-u offers this take on Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. One commenter speculates that the matron at the right is Captain Marvel, but I’m inclined to think that it’s supposed to be Superman.

This 1941 letter from cartoonist, Harry G. Peter, to comic book writer, William Moulton Marston contains the first sketches of the Amazon superheroine. That correspondence and Marston’s reply (in red) show us how an idea evolved into comic book history. Much thought was put into Wonder Woman’s shoes, skirt, hair and even the placement of her circlet.

The Venus of Willendorf (right) is a stone statuette dating back 23,000 years and found near the Austrian town of Willendorf. Archaeologists have studied it at length and speculated about its significance in the history of women and religion. Artist David Chelsea offered this modern version depicting Wonder Woman. He plans to auction it off next month to benefit domestic violence shelters in Portland, Oregon.

After 69 years Wonder Woman has decided to wear a less revealing costume.
The new look — with an understated “W” insignia, a midnight blue jacket and a flinty fusion of black tights and boots — is darker than the famed swimsuit-style outfit, and aims to be contemporary, functional and, as Tim Gunn of “Project Runway” might say, less costumey.
Given the hope that the character will one day have her own international film franchise (a feature has long been gestating at Warner Entertainment, DC’s parent company), one test of the design was to imagine how it would look standing next to, say, Batman’s politically neutral ensemble. “The original costume was the American flag brought to life,” Mr. Lee said. “This one is a little more universal.”
You know the economy is rough when even Batman is facing foreclosure.
Super Not So Super takes a look at what Batman, Catwoman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman and the Flash do when they’re not busy fighting crime (or causing it, in Catwoman’s case). Apparently Wonder Woman does her own ironing.

You may have seen or read about some over-the-top wedding productions, but Tony Lucchese told Sarah LaFore will be going the extra mile when they marry today in Portland, Maine. They will say their vows dressed as Superman and Wonder Woman.
Aquaman, Flash and Spider-Man round out the groomsmen. Ten bridesmaids will be Amazon warriors — in comic mythos, Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess — with spears, togas and sandals.
Two weeks ago, LaFore and Lucchese made an emergency trip to Jersey, down and back in one day, to tweak her costume.
“Paramount to having a successful wedding is having the bride feel pretty,” he said.
He and volunteer carpenters built a Fortress of Solitude altar in a rented warehouse space in Portland. They’ll be married by Kieschnick’s father, dressed as Jor-El, Superman’s dad. Part of the script borrows from Kryptonian wedding vows. The couple will break character to say, “I do.”
The two met while working on a theatrical production in Oak Ridge, Tennessee seven years ago. They have been planning the wedding for 18 months. Link -via Fark
