I heart Janine Basil

I love Janine Basil's retro style hats, fascinators, headpieces and hair accessories. You can check out Janine's work on Etsy at Janine Basil Shop. My favorite piece in her collection- Super Hero Sound bite Headbands. Her work is awesome, unique and inspiring, as a hairstylist and comic book fan I adore the playfulness of her hair pieces. Crazy as it sounds how cute would it be if a Bridal Party wore these to a wedding?

Night of the Living Red: Mystique

Mystique is a Female Villain from the Marvel Comic X-men. She has superpowers, most notable is her ability to shapeshift and when she is not posing as someone else she has blue skin yellow eyes and mahogany red hair. In the film versions she is portrayed by Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence. I'm very excited to see X-men First Class,  Mystique is one of my favorite comic book characters.

In anticipation of the new film X-Men: First Class-The First Fictional character to be featured in Night of the Living Red: Jean Grey who appeared as one of the original members in X-men #1 in 1963. Also known as Marvel Girl, Phoenix and Dark Phoenix. Jean Grey possesses telepathic powers allowing her to read minds, project her thoughts and mentally stun opponents. She also has the power of telekinesis, allowing her to levitate and manipulate objects, generate force fields & posses the ability to fly. Although she is not a natural red head actress Famke Janssen portrays Jean Grey/Phoenix in the feature film series X-men. My favorite X-men movie is the 2nd film but Jean Grey/Phoenix/Famke is by far looking her best in the 3rd installment X-men: The Last Stand. She may be the first comic book lady on my blog but I assure you she shall not be the last. Please enjoy some pictures of the fiery red headed lady mutant also know as Jean Grey/ Phoenix
