Gainax West Teases Possible Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Announcement (Updated) – News


The official Twitter account for the Kobe-based Gainax West anime studio posted an image on Friday that features the words “Coming Soon” and what appears to be outlines of the protagonists of the Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt anime series.

The account also stated that it will reveal “early information once retweets exceed 5,000 or account followers exceed 2,000. The teaser Twitter post now has more than 14,000 retweets, and the account later posted a response to the Twitter post that reads, “Not Pachinko.”

Update: Gainax West’s Twitter account received more than 2,000 followers, so it confirmed that it will “offer something new” for Panty and Stocking. It further announced that it will share more information on December 16, and the news will not be a pachinko, pachislot, social network game, or Blu-ray Disc.

Fishnet Stockings Are An Unexpected Way To Add Style To Your Next Cake



Secure a pair of fishnet stockings — make sure they’re clean — to make a lovely latticed pattern on your next cake, or any other baked good that you’d normally top with powdered sugar. Once you have the hosiery, stretch it over a round ring (like a pastry ring mold) that extends beyond the perimeter of your cake. Congratulations! You just made a stencil. Finally, place it gently over the cake and sprinkle powdered sugar over it through a sifter. When you lift the stencil, you’ll find that even the world’s sharpest protractor can’t hold a candle to the precise crosshatch pattern that bestows the top of your cake.

At this point, your cake is dressed to impress, but there’s no need to stop there. If you’re a fan of checkerboards, you might try filling in alternate squares with sprinkles, or dots of frosting from a piping bag. Have fun with it. After all, it’s your cake, and you can eat it, too. 

Madonna Ditches Pants, Rocks Fishnet Stockings & Bustier Bodysuit At Miami Art Basel Exhibit Honoring Her ‘Sex’ Book


@madonna/instagram
She certainly is a material girl! On Thursday, December 1, Madonna turned heads as she arrived to the Miami Art Basel exhibition celebrating the 30th anniversary of her book Sex.
For the party, the mom-of-six slipped on a black lace and sequined bustier bodysuit, topping off the piece with a short tuxedo coat. She accessorized with fishnet stockings, fingerless gloves, plenty of silver jewelry and black heels, styling her new copper locks in multiple braids.

Also in attendance was daughter Lourdes Leon, 26, who wowed in a black cutout gown, as well as actor Vincent Gallo and singer Grace VandeWaal. The mother-daughter duo have been partying it up all over the country this year, even stepping out to a New York Fashion Week shindig together.
MADONNA SHARES RARE PHOTO OF ALL 6 OF HER CHILDREN DURING HOLIDAY FESTIVTIES — SEE PICS
Leon, whose father is actor Carlos Leon, has been following in her famous mother’s singing footsteps, but she insisted she’s trying to carve her own path.
“I want to feel like I deserve things and not just like I’ve been given things. And, yes, there’s undeniable privilege that I’d be stupid to not realize,” the model acknowledged of her upbringing. “Nepotism babies are pretty awful usually, and my mom and my father raised me to be so much smarter than that.”
The brunette beauty also appears to be OK with her mom’s recent headline-spinning antics, as the superstar is constantly uploading suggestive photos and videos, with some fans slamming her for “sexualizing” her social media posts.
The “Express Yourself” songstress has mostly ignored the hate, though as OK! reported, she did once post a selfie with the words “stop bullying Madonna for enjoying her life.”
Meanwhile, a few of Madonna’s other children are allegedly hiding their faces out of embarrassment. “It makes them cringe to see her writhing around naked and making a fool of herself,” a source spilled. “They can’t understand why [her behavior] needs to be so hyper and gratuitous.”
The source added the brood wanted to address her behavior head-on before she “ruins her legacy.”

Shio Ohayou displays elegance while in a bikini and then pattern fishnet stockings during Byleth cosplays














Byleth was originally met with a lukewarm response from fans upon being announced as the final challenger for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Fighter Pass Vol. 1 on January 16, 2020. Even though Byleth is the eighth Fire Emblem rep that’s playable in the game’s massive roster, players have since warmed up to Byleth’s inclusion.








Over the years, we’ve certainly noticed how often fans like to cosplay as the female version of Byleth. Needless to say, we recently stumbled upon Shio Ohayou’s Instagram page which showcases a number of photos depicting her in Byleth cosplays.








In some of Shio Ohayou’s, we can see a take on the “Fell Star’s Duo” version of Byleth from Fire Emblem Heroes. Though Fell Star’s Duo Byleth does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, or Fire Emblem: Three Hopes, it’s a version of Byleth that tends to be pretty popular with fans.

Unlike a number of other cosplayers that we’ve highlighted, Shio Ohayou has actually teamed up with another cosplayer who’s playing out the part of Rhea, also in swimsuit attire. Notably, these characters’ histories are linked due to their connections with Sothis, the goddess within the story of Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Although Byleth and Rhea look fairly defenseless together as the Fell Star’s Duo, they are not to be underestimated. Eagle-eyed observers should almost immediately be able to spot the dagger that’s tied to Byleth’s hip, which is properly represented in Shio Ohayou’s cosplay.

It should also be noted that Byleth has been granted the ability to use Divine Pulses to undo certain mistakes. Of course, Byleth was able to earn herself the title of “Ashen Demon” amongst mercenaries even before acquiring this ability from Sothis.

Meanwhile, Rhea is armed with the ability to undergo a terrifying transformation should the need arise. In certain story routes for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Rhea can be a fierce opponent as a result of this.

Check out Shio Ohayou’s cosplay of Fell Star’s Duo Byleth below:







Shio Ohayou has also done a remarkably good job cosplaying as Byleth as she is traditionally seen. Uniquely, Shio Ohayou actually utilizes an extendable version of the Sword of the Creator in some of her cosplay photos.

Byleth’s unique pattern fishnet stockings and “stomach window” also appear to have been accurately captured by Shio Ohayou’s cosplay of Byleth. We can see that Shio Ohayou is able to represent Byleth both with her dark teal blue and mint green styles, which has significance within the story itself.

Check out Shio Ohayou’s shots of default Byleth (colors 2 and 8 in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) and Byleth’s “Enlightened One” class from Fire Emblem: Three Houses below:

Victoria Beckham’s 2023 Date Night Style? Fishnet Stockings And A Power Shoulder



The Beckhams went out for dinner in London this week to celebrate David’s 48th birthday, and their chosen looks had a touch of the old school Posh and Becks about them. Think leather (David), sky-high hemlines (Victoria), and black-out sunglasses.
Little black dresses have always been Victoria’s style signature, and she wore a mini blazer dress from her brand’s upcoming autumn/winter 2023 collection, which has a boxy, oversized fit, statement shoulders and white stitch detailing. She styled the outfit almost exactly as it was worn on the runway, with black fishnet tights and towering black high heels, finished off with the Victoria Beckham chain clutch bag in black.View moreGoff PhotoDavid and Victoria in 2023…Shutterstock… and in 1999.Thanks in part to the birthday boy’s biker jacket, their outing echoed one of the celebrity couple’s most iconic date night looks of all time: the matching leather jackets and trousers they wore to a Versace event in London in 1999.
Victoria laughed about that outing in a recent conversation with British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, revealing that the outfits that helped to propel the couple to fame were actually something of a fashion faux pas. “Myself and David turning up to a Versace event in matching Gucci leather! Wearing the wrong stuff, but owning it,” said VB. “Back then I didn’t know any better, I didn’t know the fashion industry, and so there was something so sweet and naive about the fact that I didn’t care, I just expressed myself in that way.”

The first Guardians Of The Galaxy movie was released in 2014, and received critical acclaim. The film raked in a whopping $773.3 million in the global box office, and also received two Oscar nominations.The sequel, simply titled Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, was released three years later in 2017, and garnered even higher box office numbers with $863.8 million in global sales.The premise of the third film follows Peter Quill, who is ‘still reeling from the loss of Gamora’ as he ‘allies his team to defend the universe and one of their own – a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians,’ according to an IMDB synopsis.  The director of the project, James Gunn said during an interview with Rolling Stone published earlier this month, James hinted at the opening song in the Guardians Vol. 3 film. The movies are known for its catchy soundtracks, however, the music in the third film will help set a ‘different tone.’ ‘It starts with Radiohead’s acoustic version of ‘Creep.’ And that’s just a much different tone from the beginning than the other two films,’ he revealed. Chris also opened up to the outlet about the last movie in the trilogy and stated that it has, ‘matured in its emotionality the same way that probably the audience has matured.’ He further explained, ‘The kids who loved Guardians were teenagers, and now they’re in their mid-twenties, and it’s really exciting to think that they’re ready for this movie the way that they might not have been nine years ago.’ Pratt also reflected on how his career has completely changed since he joined the Marvel universe. ‘My entire life is different now because of Marvel, because of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It did change my life in such a way that I’ve been going nonstop ever since.’  Fun times: Karen posed next to a life sized cut out of her superhero characterLoving it: She was also presented with a box of cereal that also boasted her pictureBack in action: The premise of the third film follows Peter Quill, who is ‘still reeling from the loss of Gamora’ as he ‘allies his team to defend the universe and one of their own – a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians,’ according to an IMDB synopsisKaren jumped into the conversation during the interview, and discussed what fans could expect from her character, Nebula. ‘We’re starting to see her heal a little bit and develop the personality that was maybe put on hold.’ Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 has also had its fair share of drama over the years. Back in 2018, James Gunn was fired from the production due to a slew of controversial and offensive tweets. However, the following year, it was revealed that the filmmaker had been hired back onto the project. Karen weighed in to Rolling Stone about the ups and downs that the production has faced. ‘When it looked like we weren’t going to make the movie without James, it just didn’t feel right at all.’ ‘The only thing I ever wanted was that James would direct it,’ Chris also added. ‘That’s all I hoped for. It’s a difficult landing to stick, and seeing that we had the blueprint and the right leader to get us there was a real relief.’ The final installment to end the Guardians trilogy is slated to hit theaters early next month on May 5.

Fishnet Stockings May Be The Secret To Sophisticated Cake Decoration



Fishnet stocking embellishments aren’t just for beginners, though. While professional Instagram cake decorators apply massive heaps of fondant to make shapes and characters, they can still use the fishnet stocking to their advantage. It could be used as a layering tool on top of buttercream frosting to give the cake a pop of texture and color. By giving a cake neat diamond shapes, the fishnet stockings come close to recreating the lattice of a beautiful pie.

The pattern of the fishnet tights is so neutral that it works as a timeless cake design. While Pinterest is full of vintage-inspired buttercream cakes with cheeky phrases written in the middle, the fishnet stocking version is an understated chic that requires way less effort. Imagine finishing off a simple lemon loaf or even this Blondie bundt cake with a fishnet stocking imprint of powdered sugar.
Garnish your cake with one slice of lemon or nothing at all, and it’ll look like a masterpiece that belongs in a bakery display. If you want to have more fun, you can even do layers of fishnet stocking decorations, one with powdered sugar and the other with cocoa or matcha powder. The contrasting colors will give your cake an eye-popping appearance.

Jajankuro pulls off a sexy Byleth cosplay complete with her fishnet stockings, stomach window, and Sword of the Creator prop














Byleth was announced as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 1’s fifth and final challenger on January 16, 2020 and later released on January 28, 2020. While the reception towards the fighter was initially lukewarm, fans of the Super Smash Bros. series eventually learned to enjoy the inclusion despite the fact that Byleth is the eighth Fire Emblem rep on the character select screen.








Notably, the female version of Byleth has become a popular cosplay choice. As such, Chloe “Jajankuro” has a number of photos depicting herself as Byleth on her Instagram page.








It’s often said that one of the most difficult parts about recreating female Byleth’s look for the purpose of cosplaying her is the recreation of her unique pattern fishnet stockings that shows random bits of Byleth’s legs. Of course, it would appear that Jajankuro has opted for a different design of Byleth’s leggings, though they seem to be equally as complicated looking.

Another key feature about Byleth is the weapon that she wields. Jajankuro has plenty of shots of her Byleth as she’s wielding the legendary Sword of the Creator.

Female Byleth also has a peculiar part of her costume known as a “stomach window.” It’s almost like a cleavage window, except it seems to be specifically designed to show off Byleth’s belly button.

Over on her Twitter page, Jajankuro has posted a couple of shots of her Byleth with a dark teal color. For context, this is the second costume for Byleth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (since male Byleth is the default appearance).

Byleth takes on this appearance for about half of Fire Emblem: Three Houses until a certain event causes Byleth to essentially “fuse” with Sothis. Funnily enough, Byleth’s hair color neither resembles that of her parents, Jeralt and Sitri.

I tried to shoot my Byleth cosplay today but I chose the worst time of day and it was too bright 🙁 pic.twitter.com/GKA8DXTMSJ— Chloe 🌱 (@jajankuro) July 4, 2020

By doing this, it’s demonstrated that Byleth can tear through dimensions while using the Sword of the Creator. Canonically, this transformation makes Byleth quite powerful, though it actually doesn’t impact gameplay that greatly. Of course, it should be noted that Byleth is generally considered to be the best unit in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, with or without this transformation.

In terms of how it affects gameplay, Byleth’s Professor’s Guidance personal skill transforms into the Professor’s Guidance+ personal skill. In addition to granting 20% experience gain to the user and adjacent allies like the Professor’s Guidance skill, Byleth also deals an additional two damage during combat.

After that specific chapter is finished with, Byleth will then gain access to the Enlightened One class, a class exclusive to Byleth. Though it provides the most proficiencies out of all the classes in the game with four of them, its stat growths are, ironically, not all that impressive.

Oddly, however, it has been demonstrated that Byleth can undergo this transformation in Fire Emblem: Three Hopes (released June 24, 2022) without fusing with Sothis. Needless to say, fighting Byleth with this hair color proves to be a much greater challenge than fighting him or her with their default hair color.

Regardless, this is Byleth’s eighth costume color in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Like with all costumes in Smash, choosing these colors will have no impact on Byleth’s gameplay.
