At a CosCon, I'm dead sure that when I saw someone wearing that, I'd think "Hey it's Lady Chris from Suikoden III" not "just some total lesbian in armor." :P

(I didn't even know there was a Suikoden III)

[GaijinPunch]

That stuff goes for a pretty yen over here. I've seen a Sakura Taisen (Sakura) outfit clear $300 or so. I'm always one for running in, grabbing the freebies, then going home and playing them when going to shows.

heh.... when I was little boy I wanted the Kamen Rider costume real bad.
It was so cool with the twin propeller belt and helmet. :p

I remember seeing in B Club many years ago that someone made replica of Priss KnightSaver(?) suite. That was neat although with no ventilation holes the clear front face shield fogged up real fast... :)

cheers

Nice, a Priss outfit That would have been cool. I wonder if she rode a red motorbike with that on?

Yakumo

[dj898]

as I recall it was made of vacuum form hard plastic and all in Priss blue. was very cool indeed although getting in and out takes about ten minutes with two people assisting and you can hardly walk in that thing... :p

still cool!
For bike the red one in Akira wins hands down mate!

cheers

I don't get anime or cosplay for that matter.

Why are these things so popular today? :smt017

Not kekkou kamen then? the thought of you in a red mask and not a lot else frightens me! ;¬)

[Importaku]

Heheh Kekkou Kamen.

That anime show was so funny, they are totally different characters.

Kamen rider looks like a power ranger with a bug type helmet on and rides a motercycle.

Kekkou kamen fights for justice in red boots & mask & nothing else hee hee :smt040

[dj898]

saw a AV parody once...
quite funny if you ask me

cheers

Before my company decideded to move to Hawaii in September, I was going to make either a Speed Racer, or Gatchaman halloween costume. My hair is getting long, so Gatchaman wouldv'e been the way to go. What a statement to any nationality that would've been!

I don't think that's too geeky, as it's got retro coolness to it. :)

[GaijinPunch]

Need I say more?!?!?

Yes... specifically, you should say a little bit like what those pics would look like if they showed up.

[madhatter256]

damn. then i guess they cant show up. I googled the images.

[GaijinPunch]

If you view the images (copy URL in your browser) you can see them.

This is what Cosplay is about. Just a shame I don't have time to find many cuties :smt022

I also posted this in the official funny pic thread, but it fits in with the theme. This is one of the worst costumes ever for obvious reasons.

[Greatsaintlouis]

Well, the costume itself is pretty creative (I saw a thing on the making of it a while back), the guy modeling it is another story.... You'd think he'd have at least put some sort of codpiece in the suit....

And the girls modeling as Dizzy, May, and Ky Kiske from GGX definately get props for awesome costumes! :smt023

[dj898]

i used to dating a Chinese girl who after all done looks just like Mai from KoF - complete with the full assets. :) once I persuaded her to try few skimpy outfits with no undies and she looked hot in some.. he he
I could've asked my sis to make Mai costume as she used to work for big fashion house as lead designer... but then again...

better stop it now in case missus check on this board :p - I usually use her PC to access Net as my Mac is often in the process of repair/upgrade...

cheers

Oh my :prayer: The thought of a big brested beautiful Asian girl wearing skimpy clothing with no underware just poped in to my head. Please stop :prayer: I'm getting too excited now which is no good. Still got another 3 weeks before I can see my wife again :smt022

Yakumo

[dj898]

still I think my missus looks super hot...
just for the record. he he

besides the girl was 15 years younger... not the youngest I've dated but still too young for my taste...
And this was before I got married in case anyone got funny idea...

cheers

[cahaz]

the girl wering a dead or alive costume , posted by yakumo , is really cute!

[Yakumo]

She sure is. I think that she would be Chinese not Japanese. Not that it bothers me. A real life Kasumi is nice to look at. now if only she was better built up front :smt033

what's that? :smt017

[Greatsaintlouis]

what's that? :smt017

Eh heh heh heh heh..... Might just be an American joke, not sure. "Camel toe" is slang referring to one's (usually in the case of female persons) genitalia or outline thereof being clearly visible through clothes.

And Yakumo and DJ898, shame on you two. ;-) You crack me up. :smt043 :smt043 :smt043

[WolverineDK]

some of this is more like crossplay/crossdressing than anything to do with cosplay but still funny ;-)

[sayin999]

camel toe heheheheheheeh, ah too much.

I saw one of the pioneers of cosplay in Akihabara last week. A real, honest to God transvestite. A man ( a very skinny one ) dressed up like a woman. In broad daylight, with no club in sight.

I've seen a site like that on the 8th floor of IMS Plaza in Hakata (Fukuoka City) The wife and I were trying to figure out if it was an ugly woman or a skinny tranny. It turned out to be the later of the two.

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, they're a twisted breed they are. There's a guy that goes to the gym I go to that I just can't figure out. He wears these 80's shorts. You know, solid color, white outline, really short... all the time! That's like all he wears... then he's got some tight T-shrit on.

He doesn't prance around though, is going bald, but has long hair in the back. His swimming trunks are frightenly tiny. But he just doesn't have that gay aura to him. :smt017

Those people scare me. I used to work at a grocery store, and I used to see wierd people all the time.

[Mr. Casual]

like that big fat woman that couldnt wait until she was out the door to eat her powdered donuts? :smt043
