[Buffy The Vampire Slayer]

Former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee was recently interviewed by WomenWriteAboutComics.com about various topics. Here is an excerpt from that interview in which she discusses her wrestling attire.

I purposely chose to wear a lot of things most people found visually offensive. At first, I picked lots of polka dots and plaid fabrics since it was intriguing to me to utilize something not traditionally feminine or attractive. My thought process was “let’s see if I can succeed while being as innocent as possible.”

I would eventually choose an outfit I felt was a second skin; Converse sneakers, jean shorts, and a cotton t-shirt. I wanted to pick something that reflected my practical style, was comfortable to move in, covered up the goods, and most importantly—was simple to cosplay. I wanted to encourage girls to dress up like me, and in order to do that, the costume had to be instantly recognizable and easily duplicated. Over the years, I’ve had hundreds of young women and girls dress up like me for Halloween or at comic cons. It’s wonderfully weird.

Does make sense, I always wondered if she dressed the way she did for comfort. Also could you imagine 8 year old girls running around dressed like the scantly clad Divas? Even as a heel she had little girls that loved her because she was different!

I never liked her plaid fabric attire. Ugly. Interesting she saw them as hideous as well but she did it out of rebellion.

In the video games, I always dark out her attire.

Wasn't plaid a punk thing during the 80s?

it was more of a grunge look of the 90s.

That excerpt screams of pretentiousness. I know she meant well, but she's the type of feminist that will shit on stay at home moms and women who wear heels and make up while pretending to be all for women's empowerment.

And if you're looking for comfort, it's not converse. They're fucking terrible for your feet and her arches must be awful from wrestling in them.

AJ has rubbed me the wrong way for a while, though, but at least she seems to have mellowed a tad.

"Call me Lita" - she had similar attire, AJ just a knock off.

 

[Crewz]

You should be talking about Vacant not AJ LEE

True words.. Vacant is more important.. The most important thing AJ can talk about is her ring attire, can't imagine how bad the rest of the interview is.

So true

 

[★Th0t Patr0L★]

:what :what? :Jordan2 :chan

The converse she wore have 0 insulation, no support for your arches (which is absolutely awful for athletes of any type and can lead to fallen arches), and weakens one's ankles.

I like converses myself, but gave all my pairs away because they're god awful for your feet.

 

[Reptilian]

AJ Lee is a true role model. Wish we had more girls like her.

What do you expect?She is the quitters wife afterall

 

[BornBad]

still waiting for her book....

 

[Drago]

Vacant will quit again soon like her husband! :mj2

Nice to see you not hating on AJ for the sole purpose of hating Thwagger. When it comes to phony feminism, I can guarantee you that her ex-boss Stephanie McMahon is a thousand times worse. :wink2:

 

[gsm1988]

So true

:Out

 

[gsm1988]

Vacant will quit again soon like her husband! :mj2

I'd rather "quit" with my health intact than spend the best years of my life making the people who tried to ruin my wedding day richer.

 

[southrnbygrace]

I always appreciated AJ's ring attire. To me she 'looked' like a wrestler. I think it's one of the reasons I like her more than some of the other 'Divas'.

 

[★Th0t Patr0L★]

Yeah, I hated her for the 'sole purpose of hating'.

ut

And they're both shitty in that respect.

Edit: Legitimately 'hating' a talent tho. :lmao
