Of course, they did so in -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 Celsius).

Move over Black Milk and Her Universe, thereโs a new player storming onto the women’s geek fashion arena as of Black Friday, and thatโs Gold Bubble Clothing. The brainchild of Jinyo, a longtime respected costumer and clothier in his own right, heโs been seen on Syfyโs Heros of Cosplay as the partner in crime of Victoria (aka Scruffy Rebel).
Specializing in dresses and leggings with bold, fun prints and patterns, they were first showcased at the beginning of November at Stan Leeโs Comikaze Expo, causing quite the stir around the Scruffy Rebel booth. Some of their initial designs will feature the classic art of Alphonse Mucha, Camilla DโErrico, and Evangelion.
Ensuring a steady stream of new designs, they will be having a good number of their designs only available for a week at a time before being retired. This is actually a fairly brilliant approach as it allows for a varied range of designs, which will drive new fans and buyers to their website, while at the same time keeping the number of total product lines on stock down to a manageable level.
The websiteย initially launched on the morning of Black Friday,ย with many of the products available for only for this first week before being retired. Targeting stylish geeks, Jinyo has expressed that while theyโre committed to the highest quality art and materials for their lines, they also want to keep the prices as affordable as possible. With the explosion in recent years of geek fashion in the mainstream beyond t-shirts and especially towards a female audience, this new company is definitely going to find a lot of its product going under Christmas trees this holiday season.
Apart from their website, you can also keep up with their latest postings on Facebook and Twitter.

The Saga of Ed Kramer, Dragon Con’s Co-Founder, is finally over, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported today.
Kramer pleaded guilty to three counts of child molestation, dating back to 1996. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors nullified the three counts of aggravated child molestation with which he was also charged.
Because he is considered a first-time offender, he was sentenced to five years for each count to run concurrently — not consecutively — which means he will serve a total of five years.
He has already served 26 months. He will spend the remaining 34 months under house arrest, most likely due to his failing health. He must also pay each of the three victims $100,000 and register as a sex offender.
Over the weekend, Dragon Con’s severing of all ties with Kramer was made official. The organization bought out Kramer and formed an entirely new corporation back in July. Kramer initially resisted, leading Dragon Con to file a lawsuit back in August. “DragonCon spokesman Greg Euston toldย Atlantaย magazineย the out-of-court settlement calls for Kramer to be paid a โsmall amount overโ what the company had offered,” according to The Mary Sue.
It’s over.

Nope, this isn’t an April’s fools joke.
It’s just like getting a present from a sponsor in The Hunger Games!
We’re excited to share Prime Air – something the team has been working on in our next generation R&D lab. The goal of this new delivery system is to get packages into customers’ hands in 30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles. Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we advance technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations. This is footage from a recent test flight.
