heres the idea: instead of vogue magazine it’s vague magazine. all the editorials are blurry. models shot from 60 feet away. ads just say “buy it”. models hide behind trees and shrubs. you can’t tell what anyone’s wearing.

It also be hilarious if it was like vague posting where it was filled with very vague critique articles on like clothes designers and stuff where they never mention who their talking about but anyone who knows anything on the subject knows.

“And SOME designers need to learn that this isn’t 1985 anymore”

it took me years to realize the Incredibles family suit is combination of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl suits

Mr.Incredible has a big i

Elastigirl has a her logo in a small circle

The Incredibles have an i in a small circle

which means Edna Mode thought about bullet proofing, fire proofing and also making the image of a family that has the legacy of both Elastigirl and Mr.Incredible meaning

Losers Never Win

“Omar, you have to remember that you are a LOSER. Losers. Never. Win.”
Omar Abdullah’s mother is a psychotic and abusive supervillain, who forces him to be her sidekick. His best friend, Lilly Armstrong, is the sidekick to her superhero father, Power Man. When Lilly found out that Omar was being abused and tried to get her parents to help him, to no avail, she and he pulled together a group of friends who shared the same ideals—that not all those who were labelled as supervillains wanted to be evil.

Losers Never Win is a novel that takes place in a world where superheroes and villains are an ordinary occurrence, with all of the superhumans being contained to one large manmade island in the Pacific Ocean, creatively named the Island of Superheroes, usually being shorted to simply the Island by the natives, which is also home to the biggest and strongest prison in the world. The population of the island is over 10 000 people, including normal civilians, superheroes with and without secret identities, and supervillains with and without secret identities. The plot revolves around five young sidekicks who believe that not all young supervillains want to do evil deeds.

Omar Abdullah, aka Basilisk, is the son of Aaliyah Abdullah, aka Viperess, a supervillain with erponkinesis, the power to control reptiles, though she mainly chooses to control snakes. Omar inherited the same power, though he’s also partial to lizards. His mother very heavily manipulates him and also emotionally abuses him. She’s also not a stranger to physical abuse. Omar didn’t even fully realize that he was being abused when Lilly confronted him about some of his bruising, as Aaliyah had him so completely under her thumb. He’s very shy and jumpy, especially around new people and loud/sudden noises, but he’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.

Lilly Armstrong, aka Flower, is the daughter of Jackson Armstrong, aka Power Man, a superhero with the powers of flight, super strength, and invulnerability. Lilly inherited the powers of flight and super strength, but she’s not fully invulnerable, though she has enhanced durability, meaning it just takes more effort to pierce her skin. She’s very sweet and girly on the surface, yet she is constantly getting into fist fights at school with those who make racist, homophobic, or sexist comments. She also loves learning about the human psyche and wants to either become a lawyer like her father or a psychologist. She’s kind of chubby, but is actually very self-confident and knows that she’s super adorable.

Xandra “Sandy” Montague, aka Freak Show, is the adopted daughter of Peter Montague, aka Circus, a supervillain who is essentially a one-man circus act, with talents varying from acrobatics to knife throwing. He taught Sandy everything he knows. Despite him being evil, Sandy loves her father, as he genuinely takes good care of her, putting all of her needs first, even though she trained her to be his sidekick. He also adopted her when no one else would because of mysterious burns and scars that cover her body. She constantly covers her body with foundation to hide her blemished appearance. She also loves dance and cheerleading.

William “Will” Brenden, aka Outburst, is the son of Harold Brenden, aka Implosion, a superhero with telepathy, telekinesis, and fragokinesis, the power to control explosions, more specifically blowing things up with his mind. Will only inherited the power of fragokinesis and has not fully mastered it, and is constantly accidentally blowing things up. Lilly constantly teases him about the time that he blew up a bathroom sink in her house. Will’s father used to be a thief before he met his wife and gained his powers, so Will definitely believes people can turn their lives around. Will is never out of puns and Jada hates it. He’s constantly making quips as he fights.

Yu Fan “Jada” Liu, aka Killer Jade, is the daughter of Yin Hui Liu, aka Shade, a supervillain with a ridiculous amount of weapons and martial arts skills. However, Jada somehow ended up with the power of super speed. Neither her mother nor her three older sisters have any powers, so it’s unclear why she alone got a superpower. Because of her power, her mother loves and values her the most out of her four children, even going as far as to say so to her other daughters, obviously causing a lot of animosity between them. Jada accidentally killed a security guard when her mother first forced her to help rob a museum, thus she gained the reputation of being the most dangerous sidekick on the Island. She’s a photographer in her spare time.

The Smart Alecks

Carol, Moira, and Gideon are the smartest spies in all of McAllister Private Spy School, but there’s one problem: they’re also the three biggest troublemakers in the school’s history. After a prank goes awry, they are given a dangerous mission as a chance to prove that they shouldn’t be expelled. However, this mission may prove to be more than dangerous—it may be fatal.

The Smart Alecks is a novel about a world where spies exist, working under the worldwide organization, the Spy Federation. McAllister Private Spy School is in a classified location in British Columbia, working under the Canadian branch of the organization, known as the SFC or Spy Federation of Canada. Our protagonists are three fifteen-year-old geniuses, who go to a school for spies, and like to pull pranks instead of listening in class. They’re sarcastic, rude, and incredibly intelligent. There are very few people they like—they barely even like each other. Working together to save the world (or at least, Stanley Park) is going to be a challenge.

Moira Lake is the rich girl with a famous and powerful dad, both in the spy and civilian worlds. She’s the most apathetic of the three, as she was never understood by her parents and shipped off to McAllister at age four. She’s obsessed with bombs and is an incredible pyrotechnician. She and Carol are roommates and argue constantly. She pretends to hate Carol, but really she’s just envious of the fact that Carol’s IQ is higher than hers. She has a younger brother and a secret soft-heart towards children.

Gideon Zones is the quiet and thoughtful leader with a mysterious past that he won’t discuss. He lives with his aunt and uncle and arrived at McAllister at age seven. He is level-headed, quick-thinking, and attentive, making him the natural leader of the trio. He and Moira only went on one mission before the story takes place. They were ten, they were traumatized, and they never talk about it. He tries not to be mean, but sometimes gets frustrated with the fact that his peers’ IQs are far below his own.

Carol Jackson is the new girl who got into the school on a scholarship, with religious parents and no previous knowledge of spies. She arrived at McAllister the September before this story takes place, at age fourteen. She’s very audacious, impulsive, and stubborn, but is also incredibly loyal and confident. She’s convinced that Moira hates her. She’s been expelled from seven public schools previous to getting the scholarship for McAllister and has never found it easy to make friends.
