Things We Saw Today: Harley Quinn As Superman

Well here’s something I never thought I’d see. Harley Quinn dressed up as Superman. You can thank Eric Stettmeier of the Toyriffic blog for swapping Harley into all sorts of personas. You’ll also see  her as Wonder Woman, a Stormtrooper, Bob Ross and more. Yes, I said Bob Ross. Now check out what else we saw today.

• Meredith Zeitlin writes a new YA novel called Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters.

Maybe that’s because I’m the daughter of an English teacher, but it makes me nuts when I read books that just…aren’t well-written.” (via Women on Writing)
