If you have any questions or comments, please leave them, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

If you like this post, feel free to check out my 25 hotties at Comic Con post, which has more hot costumes and just some hot nerds.

When I asked to take a picture of his costume, this guy actually said, "What costume." And turned away.
There were quite a few girls dressed as the joker, but I like that she was the only one that made it feminine with the use of a skirt.
I loved this Joker costume as it was one of the coolest scenes in the movie. Plus, this guy had insanely hairly legs.

In vinyl with a dressed up kitty. Seriously, this whole outfit was well thought out, sexy and cute...a rare combo.
I like the corset addition.
Remember the Riddler? He was one of those Batman characters NOT played by Heath Ledger...I know, I know, it's asking a lot to remember.

Ariel had some sweet side-boob action going on.
Yet another princess costume.
Nice princess costume here. We saw one insanely fat chick trying to pull it off, but there were some major hotties doing it this year.

This was a great costume group. They all looked perfect and the girls were mad sexy.
The sexiest girls in the whole Austin Power Series. Do they make you horny baby?
Another great Austin Powers costume, this time she was there to support "Girls Drawing Girls"

Really awesome steam punk dress.
This was one of the 4 corset dealers at the convention, and the only one that looked cool. This map corset was awesome.
Another great steam punk costume. I adored her dress.

I loved the personal touches he added to this costume. He even had a snake in his front pocket.
While there were plenty of Indies this year, I love that this one came with the Holy Grail and a crazy Nazi girl.
This Japanese Indiana Jones was just cool and he was a big sweetheart too.

I liked the blend of real actors used with the statues.
I wish Dr. Girlfriend had a voice modulator so should could sound all manly like she does on the show.
I love that they dressed up together and that she bought a pie. Best couple costume at the convention.

I think it was cute this older couple dressed up together. I want to be like them when I get old and fat...no really, I mean it.
These girls had the most awesome pirate garb. I loved it. Later I saw them partying it up downtown in the same outfits...hot.
This really was one of the most accurate, yet simple, costumes I've seen. I loved the minor details.

This whole family dressed up, later they went as Disney villians.
I loved that this woman was dressed up with her whole family. The boy was Jaffar, the girl was Cruella DeVille and her other friend was Sleeping Beauties Evil Queen.
She was with the Emily the Strange booth, looking adorable as Wednesday -very appropriate for Emily.

Seriously, how cool is it that a girl dressed as Barf this year. If you don't recognize this, get FAIL tattooed on your forehead.
I don't know what he was supporting -although I'm sure he gave me a flier after I took this. Still, very cute. UPDATE: I have been informed he is a Plantanos. http://www.kaiju.com/bios/los_02.htm
Part of the Tim & Eric Awesome Con at the Marina...I was a little disturbed.

Gotta love the pleather....mmm...
They are adorable together aren't they?
Cute dresses.

This costume was fantastic and creepy, everything Clive Barker deserves.
Evil scientists are always fun.
The next day I saw him pushing a stroller in the same costume...it wasn't nearly as tough looking.

I really wanted her to jump up and down and clap like she does in the video game.
Does anyone know who she's dressed as? UPDATE: I was informed she is Cammy from Street Fighter!
Mario and Luigi both look dashing with their plumbing tools.

Yes, he really did make this awesome hat himself.
This dude brought multiple captions for his pictures. He was definately an original freaky hippy.
Remember Doug? I love this costume, bonus points for wearing undies over your shorts.

Later on, I saw him fall, which was hillarious in a sad way.
Beep beep, there's a dork coming through.
This guy was so proud.

There were at least two of them trapsing around like this.
They were promoting The Spirit I think. All I know is my mom was hitting on them.
I know she was dressed up like she should be in this costume, but damn...boobs and booty were all most people saw. Damn. At least now that we have been assured she is Molotov I don't feel so bad about saying Damn one more time!

This Harry looked quite dashing (and nerdy) with his white owl perched on his shoulder.
He's scary huh?
Obligatory Kiss fan -as always, late. Gene Simons was here LAST year buddy.

The only person I've ever seen brave the convention on stilts. No word yet on if he broke his legs.
One of the most simple, yet most wonderful costumes. Aparently he usually dresses like Fry, but was lazy this year. I say, thank goodness. Click the photo and read the comments to learn where he bought it.
I didn't have a good angle to shoot at, or much time, but I was still super excited to see Bender there.

Seriously, who even remembers the Power Rangers, let alone dresses like them?
Ah, Billy has explained that they are the flying toasters from old Windows Screen Savers... a little wierd.
Again, another costume I have no idea where it comes from.

Weirdest interview caught at Comic Con.
I like the creativity even if I totally don't get it.
Who is she dressed as? Whoever it is, I love it.

I like this shirt my friend Sean is wearing...though it's not really a costume.

    There was a couple wearing mostly black, walking around the convention floor on stilts on Saturday.

    Also, the person in the optimus prime outfit - chick! I saw her with the helmet off while waiting in a line.

    NFW Really? That’s crazy. Never had any idea it was a girl.
    I think stilts is nuts. I would never brave it myself.

    No Hellboy costumes? I thought for sure someone would do a great job on one!

    I saw a few in other people’s image’s (I’m going to make a link post of them later) but I didn’t see any myself.
    Funny you mentioned it though, I just watched Hell Boy last night.

    Phineus - there WAS a Hellboy costume there, and a really really good one at that. Also there was a way better Optimus Prime, made with plastic instead of cardboard - it looked professional, it had the wheels and all.

    It was quite a shock to see one of my good friends on your blog. She’s always goes to these and is often featured in various magazines and blogs, but it was still a surprise to run across her picture on a web page that Stumble Upon sent me to.

    WOOT!! In case you were wondering, the musclebound blue guy with the green face, red helmet, and mechanical arm (the one you say you saw pushing a stroller later) is TrapJaw, from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!
