Alongside interviews and game reviews I also wrote up two small little articles that showed something cool on the internet that I have either discovered or knew about. This first article being about super amazing hoodies (that I need to buy one of these days) handmade by a very sweet person. Enjoy guys!
Today’s
featured products are hoodies. These aren’t just your regular hoodies though.
These are handmade by an amazingly talented girl who’s known as Lisa Lou. Known
on the Internet and by her shop as Rarity, these hoodies have a certain nerdy
side to them. Each of these pays homage to either TV shows or Video Games.s
For example there are hoodies,
which are named for each of the four elements as seen in Avatar: The Last
Airbender. The corresponding symbol for each nation/tribe is shown on the
shoulder sleeves and the backside. Even Appa is represented in one hoodie.
Rarity is also a fan of My Little Pony, as such there are some designed around
characters of the show such as Prince Cadence, Trixie and Rainbow Dash.
Recently, Rarity debuted a set of
new hoodies to order and these are especially good looking: Eevee Evolution
themed hoodies from Pokemon! As of now this set consists of all the Eevee evolutions up to the recently revealed new one Sylveon from Pokemon X/Y. Each one has distinctive features
related to the evolution. For example, Jolteon’s features large ears that
extend from the topsides of the hood, Vaporeon’s has fins running alongside the
back and Umbreon has the yellow decorations around the jacket much like he does
on his body.
Along with these Eevee hoodies are
some inspired by the assassins from, Assassins Creed like Ezio and Altair.
Majority of those shown on her store page is indeed My Little Pony, so I’m sure
bronies can find something that appeals to them! As for the cost, they range
from $130.00 (all the Eevee evolutions) to the most expensive being $170.00,
most however fall at the $155.00 price. Now some may find that these are a
little bit over-priced, but keep in mind that she runs this business on her own
and creates each of them BY HAND! The price most likely is there to cover the
cost of materials she uses.
I can assure you, I definitely
plan on getting one when I have the appropriate amount for purchase. As for
which one, my personal favorite it is the Jolteon one, those ears are just so
epic! For your viewing pleasure I’ve included several pictures of the hoodies
so you get a sense on what they look like!
