Friday Finds, Gotham City Sirens Style: Catwoman Costumes

Gotham City SirensThe weather rained on my faraway fairy parade last weekend, so I scampered to the local comic book shop to take advantage of their buy 2, get 1 free sale instead. I ensnared several issues of Gotham City Sirens, a series which stars sexy femme fatales Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and of course, Catwoman. I'm a fan of all three characters, but Catwoman was one of the first comic titles I started collecting so she's stolen a special sliver of my heart. I even made my own inexpensive Catwoman costume based on her Batman Returns incarnation for a Tim Burton-themed Halloween party two years ago.

This week I sunk my claws into an Etsy search to find what quality designs are available to women that want to channel their inner feline villain. Aren't these handmade creations purrfect?
