The Style of Strength


Angelina Jolie. Linda Hamilton. Sigourney Weaver. Jada Pinkett-Smith. Hilary Swank. Milla Jovovich. Michelle Rodriguez.

These actresses portray my movie tough-chick heroes. Their alter-egos will beat up any alien, assassin, or whining rom-com character and look beautiful doing it. I admire them. I wish I could be them. They’ve got brains, brawn, and style that doesn’t stop. Here are some commonalities in their fashion choices:

• Bare arms. Sleeves get in the way and you’ve gotta show the bad guys that you, and your biceps, mean business.

• Leather. There’s no room for rayon in the near, possibly post-apocolyptic future. The extra layer of skin protects against zombie bites and stray sword cuts.

• Aviator sunglasses. Because you can shoot a Remington 870 Police Combat Gun with Folding Stock and pilot a helicopter…at the same time.

• Short hair. A shaved head is even better, and if it’s long, it’s always pulled back and outta the way.

• Tall boots. Footwear separates the warriors from the damsels. Boots are a requirement for soldiers, both male and female.

• Black clothing. Perfect for hiding in the shadows before delivering some justice and saving the world.

Have I missed anything, my friends?
