"Our enemies will be like swiss cheese, with blood coming out of the holes."- Turanga Leela, Benders Game
Hello there lovelies,
Our fictional style icon for the day is a cartoon sewer mutant with a smart mouth and a kick-ass attitude. I am talking, of course, about Turanga Leela, better known as just Leela from Matt Groening's Futurama. Leela grew up an orphan, believing she was the last of an alien species. She found out later she was in fact the least mutated of all the sewer mututants, and her parents wanted to give her a better life by pretending she was an alien. Leela is also the captain of the Planet Express ship, and flies the other Futurama characters around as they find themselves on all kinds of crazy adventures.
Here's a few life & style lessons to be learned from Leela:
- Don't be afraid to experiment with your hair. Try different haircuts, styles, and even colors!
- If you buy good basics, you get good mileage out of them. Look for quality in your basics - flattering cuts, good quality fabric, skilled stitching, etc.
- Accessories can be functional, as well as fashionable. "What Leela calls "this thing I wear on my wrist" (referred to in another episode as a "Wrist Lojackimator") is capable of minor plot conveniences as needed."
- You always look cooler when you carry some kind of laser/ray gun. Always.
- Even if you're a sewer mutant with only one eye, there are still heaps of people who think you're pretty damn hot.
- When shopping for boots, opt for styles that are fashionable yet functional enough to give people a good ass-kicking with. Leela's footwear never prohibits her from giving someone a good roundhouse kick to the head.
- If people are terrified of receiving a good ass-kicking from you (& your stylish boots) then they will never call you out on wearing the same outfit twice. Even if you wear it every day.
- Your eyes are the most interesting feature of your face. Don't be afraid to draw attention to them!
- All of us make mistakes (*cough*ZappBrannigan*cough*), but the trick is not repeating them.
- And last, but not least, it never hurts to have some sexy lingerie in your arsenal. See the following picture for evidence.
Ahh, how I miss the highschool days of weekend boozy Futurama marathons. By the way, if you want to be really, really confused watch the episode The Farnsworth Parabox after having a few drinks. It will blow your mind. Literally.
Until next time, xo.
