Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 3 Comments

Since when has Comicon been about comic books?
That's exactly what made me angry about it. The fact that it's COMIC Con, and yet they didn't feel the need to let ladies know about the awesome COMIC-related offerings there.
Not that San Diego hasn't already started ignoring comics in favor of big film openings and celebrities ANYWAY, but that's a whole other discussion.
But yeah, I was upset that every offering they listed in the Girls guide had to do with guys. Except for Angelina Jolie and, like, one other thing. Because clearly, the only thing that draws us to geekery is men. Don't get me wrong – they're a nice side benefit. But when I think of going to conventions because of men, I'm thinking more along the lines of I get to hit on the attainable ones who AREN'T on the panels – not about making eyes at Jake Gyllenhaal, fine stallion though he is.
EXACTLY, lisa, EXACTLY. thanks for the post and articulating what we all felt when we saw that article.
but yeah, robert downey, jr., jensen ackles, johnny depp….umm, i'd ogle the crap out of them any day, anywhere, and if they happent to be at comic-con…yeah, i'd do anything to get in their pants. i mean, express my deep respect for them as actors.
