Marvel = Boys, DC = Girls, Me = Wha?

Marvel = Boys, DC = Girls, Me = Wha?

Dec 03

As Heidi MacDonald recently pointed out, H&M suddenly has a bunch of pretty slick-looking Catwoman t-shirts in stock. I bought one over the weekend. It’s not the one in the photo — full-body shot instead of a close-up, red instead of white. Still neat.

I noticed, however, a Big Two-related bit of oddity while passing through the men’s section. No DC for the H&M-loving dudes. No Bats, Supes, etc. Instead, they get a selection of Marvel-related tees. I bought my husband a Silver Surfer shirt, wherein Norrin Radd pontificates about something super-philosophical-sounding as he glides through the cosmos.

I’m definitely not complaining — finding unstupid superhero t-shirts cut for the female body is a feat unto itself, and should be celebrated when it actually occurs. But if you’re listening, oh gods of discount trend shopping, how about some Marvel love for the ladies? I’ve been having a recurring dream about finding a girl shirt with the Phoenix logo (green and gold, please) for ages now and it has yet to manifest into reality. I would be willing to pay top dollar (which, in H&M terms, means like $16) for such a shirt!
