These (sold out, sob!) ladies' Robin socks come with capes, which is nothing less than a stroke of genius.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

  Good idea, you could wear one on each foot and draw faces on your knees.

Ladies’ socks? Them’s boy wonder socks.

God I hate feet.

But this might turn Tranatino on if you make Uma Thurman wear them.
