The Dark Knight Rises Over Empire

The 10 Most Stylish Cartoon Bands of All Time

1. Jem and the Holograms

Besides being truly truly outrageous, the Holograms are the benchmark against which all cartoon bands are measured — particularly their rivals, The Misfits, led by that slut Pizzazz. Unlike that tacky band of whores, the Holograms were all about “glamour and glitter, fashion and fame” — which is still everything that I aspire to and hold dear in life.

2. Josie and the Pussycats

Question: how can you go wrong with leopard-print leotards? Answer: you can’t. Not when you’ve got three bodacious babes rocking the hell out of them. Personally I’m dying for a reboot — and I’m not talking about that lame-o 2001 live-action crap — starring the tambourinist Valerie in an all-girl funk band titled Black Pussy.

3. The Beets

Everybody sing along! “Ah-eeee-oooh! Killer Tofu! (Ee-aiyeee!) Oooh-eee-oooooh! Killer tofuuuuuuuu!” A.) best song ever. 2.) The Beets’ mix of Liverpoolian swagger and 90s alt-rocker chic made an indelible impression not only on Doug Funnie but a generation of kids eating their sugar cereal but whose teeth, as a result, were made bacterial.

4. Snakes N’ Barrels

While Dethklok rocks harder and heavier than any and every band out there, their style leaves much to be desired. Not so in the case of Snakes N’ Barrels, the first band of Dethklok’s drunktastic drummer, Pickles. Part Guns N’ Roses and all 80s glam metal, SnB were too fab to last and succumbed to drugs and alcohol before attempting a disastrous reunion concert that left everyone but Pickles clawing their eyes out and throwing up acid blood. Now that’s fucking metal. Also of note Zazz Blamymatazz, the band of rock & roll clown and c-c-c-cocaine enthusiast, Dr. Rockzo

5. Fat Albert and the Junkyard Band

Hey hey HEY! Before Bill Cosby openly hated everyone, he dropped some funk and a little knowledge on the Saturday morning cartoon circuit. Though the Junkyard Band may have played instruments made out of garbage, they still looked fresh to death in their 70s ghetto fabulous garb. And that’s no jive, turkey.

6. The Chipettes

Admittedly, I’m all about Alvin & the Chipmunks and their floor-length shirtdresses, but their female counterparts, The Chipettes, took it to another level. Sassy, smart, and — for chipmunks — sexy, these three recherché rodents bested Alvin, Simon and Theodore when it came to fashion and attitude.

7. The Neptunes

Jabberjaw is perhaps the most annoying cartoon character of all-time and how a shark can talk and play drums, let alone breathe and walk on land is neither here nor there. What matters is The Neptunes, predating Pharrell and Chad Hugo by several decades, whose futuristic style almost made up for that stooge of a shark and his exhausting underwater shtick. Almost. Meanwhile, how awesome is this ska rendition of the theme song?

8. Mystik Spiral

But they’re thinking of changing the name. Is it any wonder that Daria Morgendorffer, that heroine of biting sarcasm and droll cynicism, had a crush on her bff Jane’s brother, Trent Lane? On anyone else a soul patch looks like a douchebag calling card, but not on Trent. However, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the Joe Perry-esque Jesse, with his open leather vest, flowing locks and perpetually-stoned expression.

9. The Archies

The Archies is actually the only group on our countdown to have a number 1 song, thanks to 1969′s “Sugar, Sugar.” While at odds with the Summer of Love — and psychedelic drug use — The Archies’ wholesome hit proved the biggest record of the year and their preppy, all-American look made the bubblegum sweetness of their pop all the stickier.

10. Jet Screamer

The groovy galactic gyrations of one Mr. Jet Screamer, the Justin Bieber of 2062, often caused Judy Jetson to freely faint from excitement. Now if only the Biebs would rock Jet’s spacey colors, bold prints and outsized triangular collar….

Vogue sets age minimum for models

1. We will not knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have an eating disorder. We will work with models who, in our view, are healthy and help to promote a healthy body image.
2. We will ask agents not to knowingly send us underage girls and casting directors to check IDs when casting shoots, shows and campaigns.
3. We will help to structure mentoring programs where more mature models are able to give advice and guidance to younger girls, and we will help to raise industry-wide awareness through education, as has been integral to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Health Initiative.
4. We will encourage producers to create healthy backstage working conditions, including healthy food options and a respect for privacy. We will encourage casting agents not to keep models unreasonably late.
5. We encourage designers to consider the consequences of unrealistically small sample sizes of their clothing, which limits the range of women who can be photographed in their clothes, and encourages the use of extremely thin models.
6. We will be ambassadors for the message of healthy body image.
