Let's face the facts: you might be Supermom to your kids, but you can't drive a Batmobile. Most of us don't want to be seen in Catwoman's black leather suit. And, much to my personal dismay, Christan Bale has yet to show up at my door, caped or otherwise.

Fortunately, you can now own your own, customized chunk of the Batman legacy. And you can wear it, too. The new custom DC Comics Converse sneakers just launched, and there's an entire world of superhero (and supervillain) action waiting to happen-- on your feet. Or your kids' feet, if they're over about age 4
The designs focus on the four classic Batman characters: the Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman, and the Dark Knight himself, but they're fully customizable-- and I mean so customizable that it's kind of crazy. You get to choose prints or solids for the inside and the outside, a woven patch, lacing colors, toe bumpers, even the eyelet color. (It's not just baffling-- it's Riddling!)


The only downside I can see is that personally, I'm strictly a low-top girl, and the DC sneaks only come in high-top styles. But if you love your comics and you--or the menfolk in your life--like unique kicks, I think you'll purr like Catwoman in a sunbeam.~Delilah

Eyewear that brings life to the party

At some point, most of us have accepted an inconvenient truth: reading glasses are now part of the outfit. They live on the nightstand, in the kitchen, next to the computer, and somehow always disappear precisely when we need them. But d…

Halloween nails, but make them chic

We love Halloween, but there’s a fine line between festive and looking like a craft store exploded on your fingertips. If you want your nails to participate in spooky season without committing to tiny ghosts, glitter bats, and orange-and…
