Mermaid Cosplay Is Amazing

7787152942_3d34e649d2

Posted in association with Mermaids Millions

The term cosplay was coined in 1984 by Nobuyuki from Studio Hard at the World Science Fiction Convention in Los Angeles. While the idea was nothing new, the term has taken off and the amount of cosplay enthusiasts has grown dramatically since the early nineties, even leaking into mainstream culture. Every year Japan runs a cosplay convention called Comiket, drawing in hundreds of thousands of people who love to dress up as their favorite anime, J-pop and video game heroes. The potential is limitless; anything goes, whether it’s Abraham Lincoln or GlaDOS.

This year an estimated 130,000 attended San Diego Comic Con, their maximum capacity. Although it is primarily comic-focused, Comic Con like many current day conventions encompasses all elements of geek culture, and then some. While many will dress as Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman, there is so much room for creativity that just as standard, you will almost definitely see steampunk and gender reversal versions of well-known characters. As an unspoken rule, anything goes; conventions tend to attract a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, drawn together through the fandom.

For some cosplayers, it can be an expensive and time-consuming hobby. People spend thousands of dollars making their costumes with fairly serious attention, including fantasy weapon replicas and full costumes. It’s common practice to pose for photos, with some even making their hobby into a full-time job; professional mermaids for instance work at children’s parties and swim on camera with functioning tales made from monofins wrapped in wet-suit materials. If you’re not a professional or haven’t been lucky enough to win at mermaid millions while indulging your mermillion obsession and need to go with something a little cheaper, costumes can be made at home out of cardboard and duct tape: money isn’t important at a con and while expensively made costumes will draw attention, it’s more about creativity and dedication than flash.

Most people just wear the costumes, but some players aim to take on the persona of their character. Heroes have provided role-models for many young people and for a weekend it can be great fun to forget their normal lives and try something more exciting. Not everyone has the time or creative skill to create a costume, but any hints at geek culture are generally appreciated at conventions; wearing a subtle fan t-shirt, or adapting logos and themes from costumes into jewelry and other accessories may not get you as much notice as a full costume but will earn you a few knowing nods.

Over 200 Fantastic Cosplay Costumes From Comic Con 2013

Happy post-Comic Con everyone. I’ve finally finished uploading all of these great costumes. Don’t miss my gallery of sexy Comic Con girls from this year or my previous cosplay articles from 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Also, if you see any costumes you recognize in the unknown section, feel free to leave a comment so I can help label them and categorize them. Thanks!

Comic Books:

avengers dresses sdcc 2013

This was a great take on The Avengers. Hopefully next year they’ll return with even more members of the team.

hawk eye

To do this pose, Hawkeye had to promise someone else that the arrows weren’t actually functional.

Just about every Avenger was found somewhere around the convention. Here’s Thor…

lady captain america
And here’s one of the many lady Captain Americas.

captain americas

And here was a female and male version of America’s greatest hero.

Amazingly, with all those Captain Americas around, Red Skull was still able to cruise around undeterred.

unknown costumes 2013

Thanks Brad for identifying these two as Hope Summers and Cable.

she hulk

This She-Hulk was simply beautiful…

Modern wonder woman cosplay comic con

As was this Wonder Woman.

wonder woman dog

But I think my favorite hero of the weekend was this Wonder Woman.

wonder woman and super man

It was nice to see Wonder Woman and Super Man together…

superman cat woman

But a little strange to see him spending time with Cat Woman, even if she is hot.

Cat woman and wolverine comic con sdcc

Cat Woman was all over the convention, even hanging out with Wolverine.

sexy mystique

Here’s a sexy looking-Mystique.

creepy mystique sdcc 2013

Although, I must say that I’ve always found her much more sexy in this form.

magnito at comic con

Magneto always looks bad ass.

rogue sdcc 2013

I asked Rogue if she died her hair just for this costume and she told me that she always wears it like this.

wolverine sdcc 2013

It’s always nice to see someone in Logan’s X-Men costume -even if it’s looking a bit Fett.

DSCN2323 -e

On the left is a very sexy Psylocke, and thank you Brad for letting me know that Fantomex is the one on the right.

lady and male punisher cosplay crossplay

Two Punishers, one of which is beyond sexy.

DSCN2192

Everyone loves a good Silk Spectre.

Robin and Raven

I can’t tell you how rare it is to see a Robin costume that doesn’t look a bit cheesy and Raven looked quite nice as well.

Gotham villians group SDCC

It’s the Gotham bunch!

crazy harley quinn

There were so many Harleys this year, both in the new…

goofy harley quinn sdcc

and more classic incarnations.

latex harley

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, Harley is awesome.

Harley Quinn and female Penguin

Whether she’s with the Penguin…

harley and joker asylum style

or playing Doctor for Joker…

harley and creeper comic con

or getting kidnapped by The Creeper…

Harley batman and riddler SDCC 2013

or helping the Riddler take on Batman, Harley is always up for a good time.

batgirl steampunk

Of course, I never saw steampunk Batgirl get in such a predicament.

hellboy girl

I always find female Hellboys to be quite a bit of fun.

hell boy nazi

Of course, it’s also nice to see him kicking ass.

venom

This Venom costume was one of my favorites, I was just bummed this picture didn’t turn out as good as I had hoped.

hawk woman and cyborg

Hawkgirl and Cyborg make a great team, if for no other reason than they’re both super shiny.

axe cops

Technically, these Axe Cops were there to promote the new show, but it’s still a comic book to me.

sponge bob

Thanks to Josh for letting me know this is Negan from the Walking Dead comics posing with Sponge Bob.

TV:

muppets

Red and Fozzie were having a ball taking pictures with kids.

don and betty

Don and Betty looked fabulously annoyed with each other as always.

hook sexy

If I did a sexy men of Comic Con post again this year, Hook would certainly be in it.

once upon a time cosplay

The best thing about this Once Upon A Time cosplay is that the girls actually look like the actresses.

dick in a box

It’s a dick in a box, what more could you want?

tobias funke crossplay

Someone just blew herself.

arrow cosplay 2013

He was certainly based on the TV Arrow and not the comic.

khaleesi stomach

Sooooo many Khaleesis this year…

khaleesi cosplay comic con

but at least they were pretty sexy.

game of thrones cosplay comic con

And this group managed to dress up together.

wolf costume comic con

Going as dead Rob Stark, that’s dark. I like it! Thanks Fleight.

walking dead

It was hard to beat this Walking Dead group in team cosplay. I particularly like the Merle, which is done played by Jason Baker, aka SD Costume Guy.

star trek dress

This woman not only had an awesome Star Trek dress, but she also turned her walker into the Star Ship Enterprise.

trekie tribble

I’m always a fan of a Trekie with a tribble.

klingon cosplay

This lovely Klingon Lass was actually performing in the costume at a play later in the weekend.

tardis dress with interior

Tardis dresses are pretty over played these days, but I’m a big fan of this one that actually shows the interior.

clara oswin

I was surprised to have only seen two Claras at the convention, but this girl claimed she saw dozens of them.

doctor and rose comic con

I loved this Doctor and Rose because of their awesome accessories.

the doctor with the tardis

And it’s always cute to see the Doctor and the Tardis together.

black lady doctor who crossplay 2013

It’s also fabulous to see a black, female Doctor, something I’d love to see on the actual show.

tardis and doctor comic con

This gender-swapped Doctor and her sister Tardis were pretty darn adorable together.

doctor lady

There was something about this cute little Doctor that made me smile.

river song cosplay

And there’s something about River that makes her really sexy…I think it’s the outfit.

kaylee and dalek

Here’s a cute combo, a lady Dalek and Kaylee.

mal sdcc 2013 firefly serenity

This Mal costume was pretty fantastic.

mal crossplay and jayne firefly comic con

But I’m always a sucker for female Mals, especially with Jaynes by their side.

Scorpius costume comic con stilts

This guy on stilts was amazing. Everyone seems to agree that he is Scorpius from Farscape and I haven’t seen anything else remotely close, so I’ll stick with that.

reno 911 cosplay dangle

I absolutely loved getting to see Lt. Dangle in person.

shaman mighty boosh

And It was fantastic getting to see Naboo!

drag queen power ranger

I’ve never seen a drag queen Power Ranger before, but it was pretty awesome.

sherlock cosplay

 

And this Sherlock costume was great, even if this guy is no Cumberbatch.

battlestar galactica

There were so many Battle Star fans. It turns out that’s because they were holding an anniverssary special panel this year.

Movies:

zombie dumb and dumber

Of course, the guys from Dumb and Dumber would be some of the first people made into zombies.

drive ryan gosling cosplay comic con

Drive, fake Ryan Gosling, Drive!

face monster ballerina

Thanks CJack for letting me know that this costume is from Cabin in the Woods!

selina kyle comic con

Technically, this Selina Kyle could be part of the comic book section, but since her costume was entirely based on the movie version of the character, I figured she’d fit in here better.

nacho libre

How you you not want to yell, “Nacho!!!” when you see this guy?

wonka cosplay sdcc 2013

The only thing that would make this Wonka costume better would be if he was giving away free chocolate.

indiana and katniss

Doctor Jones and Katniss Lara Croft (thanks Elizabeth) could kick so much ass together.

Indiana Jones cosplay Comic con

It’s a good thing Snakes on a Plane wasn’t at this year’s Comic Con.

Indiana Jones and monkey lady SDCC

Indiana Jones with Marion Ravenwood have always been a great couple.

DSCN2253

And you thought ewoks were cute before!

star wars cosplay comic con

That’s one lucky Han to have such a sexy Princess Leia and Chewie with him.

star wars medieval

This renniasance take on Princess Leia is simply fantastic -it’s creative and stunning. Thanks Jaelle for recognizing this as Padme’s packing dress from Attack of the Clones.

star wars dress

I adore this little geek gal’s cute Star Wars dress.

fat princess leia slave costume

This guy deserves a medal for being the least sexy Slave Leia cosplayer ever.

ghetto star wars cosplay

This ghetto fabulous Star Wars ensemble was done by the nerds who work at Chronicle books. These fabulous people also gave me a Grumpy Cat book later that weekend, which makes them truly fantastic.

DSCN2321 -e

One of the most timely and most creative cosplays of the convention -Sharknado.

the hobit cosplay

Everyone can enjoy a little Hobbit cosplay, even if the hobbit’s feet are way too small.

green mile cosplay

It’s hard not to love a Green Mile cosplay, if only because the person doing the costume has to look so much like the character to start with.

unknown costume

Thank you Molly for recognizing that this is Ink from the movie Ink (and for getting me interested in this movie, it looks amazing).

ghostbusters key master gate keeper cosplay

Are you the Key Master?

hit girl/guy crossplay comic con 2013

Is it still Hit Girl, or should it be Hit Guy instead?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Accio cute Harry Potter fan!

DSCN2383

This pose was just awkward enough to make it ideal for Edward Scissorhands.

DSCN2354

This steampunk Shawn of the Dead was particularly clever, though it helped that this guy looks like Simon Pegg.

birds attack

Oh my god! It’s The Birds!

edward and mad hatter

Two Johnney Depp crossplays in one shot -one Mad Hatter and one Edward Scissorhands.

falcor

This Falcor cosplay was seriously amazing. I’m genuinely sorry the picture doesn’t show off the costume as well as it could have.

Video Games:

mario, luigi and princess peach comic con 2013

It’s not a Comic Con without a Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach in attendance.

luigi in car cosplay

Looks like Waluigi is up to his old Mario Kart tricks again.

DSCN2328

All hail the Dragon Born! This Skyrim cosplay is awesome.

DSCN2338

These two youngsters were great at playing the Blue Fairy and Zelda.

DSCN2315 -e

 

Jill Valentine and Leon Scott Kennedy Chris Redfield (thanks TG) of Resident Evil looked ready to take on everyone from the Walking Dead Experience alone.

mass effect

Commander Shepard in male and female version.

portal

It’s always nice to see Chelle, even without her crazy footwear.

unknown cosplay comic con

Thanks Mike for explaining that this is Sona from League of Legends.

assassins creed

An assassin right outside the Assassin’s Creed ship, how awesome is that?

goblin wow cosplay

This was a bad ass ogre costume based on the WOW race.

unknown cosplay sdcc

It’s possible this awesome demon was just a generic awesome demon, but since he was headed to the Capcom booth, I’m inclined to thing he is from some kind of video game. Jeanie, Amber and Lorelei says it’s probably Illidan from World of Warcraft and I think they’re right.

swimming ninjas sdcc

Why Sub Zero and Scorpion are in floaties, I don’t know, but that you Amanda Miller for helping to identify them.

pac man

Pac-Man’s new series is terrible, but the characters are adorable.

dark stalkers

Morrigan of Darkstalkers was pretty smart -she made her wings retractable so they wouldn’t get in the way of people walking down the aisles.

cat costume comic con

Thank you DMJ for identifying her as Taokaka from the videogame Blazblue.

Cartoons:

adult swim robot chicken

Everyone loves the Robot Chicken, even when he’s accidentally slicing people’s faces apart.

doctor rockso

This is Doctor Rockso. He does cocaine.

carl aqua teen

Carl was there to promot the Adult Swim Fun House, but he didn’t look nearly sweaty enough.

Frylock

It was good to see Frylock, but I really wanted to see Meatwad.

duff man

Cosplayers even go out in their outfits during Comic Con, here’s Duff Man at a real bar.

Zapp Brannigan as a women crossplay sdcc 2013

Nothing like a little bit of Lady Brannigan.

inspector gadget comic con

Think of the Inspector Gadget theme song…now stop thinking about it. You can’t, right?

inuyasha cosplay sdcc

It was nice to see Inuyasha in attendance this year.

naruto demon

This little girl was super proud of her Naruto tailed beast costume, and she had every right to be -it was awesome!

teenage mutant ninja turtles girls crossplay comic con

More like Teenage Mutant Cutie Turtles, amirite?

DSCN2299

This Transformers gal was cool, but the Krang costume was just plain awesome.

DSCN2300

Here’s a close up of Krang. He even smiled for the picture…well, as best as Krang can smile.

ariel wuith fork cosplay

There are always plenty of Little Mermaid costumes, but never any with her fancy dress.

disney princesses

This group of Disney princesses even came with their own princes, well…two of them at least, one girl is going to get left out.

Rapunzel and Flynn rider cosplay

While girls always love playing as princesses, guys don’t tend to go as Disney princes, but they do seem to love being Flynn Rider from Tangled and this couple was particularly cute in the role.

steampunk captain hook and tinkerbelle

Of course, steampunk Captain Hook is always a fun, cool choice as well.

disney fairies

Some of Tinkerbelle’s friends even popped in for a visit.

vanellope cosplay

Who doesn’t love Vanellope Von Schweetz, especially when you can enjoy her in her casual and formal wear?

Sally Nightmare before Christmas

Sally looked particularly impressive with those great 3D stitches on her face.

GI Joe group cosplay comic con

Best G.I. Joe group cosplay ever. In fact, there were more in their group that just didn’t get into the picture.

adventure time group

Let’s face it, real adventurers would wear much more casual clothes…like the ones these guys have on.

adventure time cosplay

There were tons of Adventure Time cosplayers, but this one had the best Princess Bubblegum dress around.

princess bubble gum girl

Here’s a very young Princess Bubblegum out looking for her Finn in shining armor.

awesomeo sdcc

Awesomeo was in attendance, but I couldn’t see Butters anywhere.

Avatar: The Last Air Bender Cosplay

Here’s the only good Avatar: the Last Airbender kind.

unknown anime

Thanks Meru and Irving for pointing out that these two are Toph, dressed in fire Nation clothes, and Princess Yue of the Northern Water Tribe -both from Avatar.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Thank you DMJ and Teeni for recognizing that this is Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Arthur from the Tick cosplay comic con

Arthur was ready to help fight crime, but there was none to be seen.

lana archer

Lana Kane here was worried people wouldn’t recognize her without her gun…as if that were the case.

kreiger and Cheryl from Archer cosplay

There were a few Archer costumes at the convention this year, but Krieger and Cheryl Tunt, complete with red marks on her neck, were my favorite.

archer pam

Archer’s Pam, complete with dolphin puppet.

archer villians cosplay

While most people probably just thought this was a guy in a track suit with a hot Communist girl, any Archer fan would immediately recognize Barry Dylan and Katya Kazanova.

fancy dress comic con

Thanks Chibi1120 for recognizing that this is Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler in his drag outfit.

Other:

dinos have short arms

This guy was out on the floor to help promote his booth, Better Than Pants. They were selling tees that said “If you’re happy and you know it clap your…oh” with a picture of the short-armed t-rex.

Funky Garcia mexican

Even local restaurants got into the cosplay scene. Funky Garcia’s put out this Funky Garcia character to help promote their restaurant.

aliens in la

This gal and her plastic bag dog creature are characters from Aliens in LA, which was promoting its wares at the convention.

aliens in la

Here is another of the wonderfully odd Aliens in LA characters.

demon creepy

This demon costume was seriously bad ass. I’m pretty sure he was just an awesome looking demon, but if he’s from something specific, please let me know.

adorable lolita girls

These cute little Lolita girls were huge fans of the Hello Kitty shop in the Petco Park parking lot.

unicorn lolita

I think she was going as the Last Unicorn, but I simply loved her dress and mask.

pizza ghost

If you aren’t sure what this costume is, that’s because this guy made it up. He is pizza ghost, the ghost of pizza that has been eaten.

pedobear comic con

It looks like Pedobear is finally starting to enjoy the company of adults -I spotted him at a bar this year. Or, maybe he’s just trying to get booze for his teenage girlfriend.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This teenage girls Michael Jackson Thriller costume was bad ass, but she still was surprised when people wanted to take pictures of her in it.medieval cosplayers

There are always Ren Fair recruiters upstairs, so I can’t tell you if these medieval peasants vikings (thanks guys) are part of that or if they just wanted to dress up like this for fun. And thank you Sarah and Andinell for letting me know they are part of the Society for Creative Anachronisms.

fast food fight

Do you think Super Jack could take over the Hamburglar? I like to think the Hamburglar would win, but that’s mostly out of nostalgia.

fancy Edwardian

This Edwardian mother and daughter were quite the fancy family. And thank you Nichole for pointing out that the daughter was playing the little girl from Interview With A Vampire.

Victorian Vampire

Victorian vampire is a great costume for those who love historical costumery, but want a touch of fantasy too.

Queen Elizabeth SDCC

Elizabeth the First at Comic Con 2013? Why not? If the Doctor can travel through time, surely the queen of England can.

cool hat bro

Who says you need a costume when your wife makes awesome hats like this one?

body paint man comic con

This guy has become a regular at the convention, always covered in different crazy body paints.

teddy bear Japanese girl comic con

Who wouldn’t love an adorable bear girl like this?

San Diego comic con weirdo

This delightful weirdo is at the convention every year, sometimes with a massive knife and always running around acting crazy.

workaholics bear coat

You could actually buy this Workaholics coat from the booth behind her.

coors knight at comic con 2013

This delightfully budget costume is known as the Coors Knight.

wastelanders weekend comic con

Yes, they look like they’re from Mad Max, but they’re actually from the Wasteland weekend event based on Mad Max, so they aren’t technically dressed like characters from the movie.
Hello kitty lolita

 This adorable lolita girl found all kinds of fun stuff at the Hello Kitty pop up shop.

bizarro a go go

This lovely clown girl was from the always odd but always fantastic Bizarro Au Go Go booth.

bizarro au go go

If you couldn’t tell from the sign, these two are also from Bizarro Au Go Go.

Odd Parings:

jesus and barroness

For some reason, I really want the Jesus and the Baronness to be friends.

comic con costumes sdcc 2013

The one on the right is Cercei from Game of Thrones, and thanks to Bridget, I also know the other girl is  Izabel from Brian K. Vaughn’s comic “Saga.”

joker and betty draper

It would be a brilliant Mad Men episode that let the Joker just stroll on scene and carve up Betty Draper’s face.

tardis and unknown

I know the girl on the right is The Doctor, and thank you to That Guy for identifying Bastila Shan form Knights of the Old Republic on the left.

shredder and unknown

Obviously the gent on the left is sportting a ghetto Shredder costume, and thanks to Ashley for identifying Chandra, a planeswalker from Magic The Gathering.

centurion and petco star wars pets

The dog and cat were there helping to promote Petco’s new line of Star Wars product and the soldier is one of the Spartans from 300. Certainly an odd group, but they’d be fun to party with.

Loki and minion

A freaky-looking minion with female Loki.

tiny batman and falling skies comic con

 Batman with a girl promoting TNT’s Falling Skies.

bane and jabbas band cosplay

Bane with Max Rebo of Jabba’s house band.

frankenweenie and link

I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see a Frankenweenie/Zelda crossover.

Unknown:

ninja costume

Awesome ninja, but what is he from?

demon from make up school

This demon thing being created by the makeup school was awesome, I just don’t know if it was from something specific or not.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This was one of the most mind-bafflingly weird costumes at the convention.

totally unknown

For some reason, this soldier and Victorian woman look very familiar to me. Do you actally recognize them?

DSCN2403

Hawkgirl is obviously the one on the right, but who is the dog?

game of thrones and unknown

Obviously the two in the middle are Game of Thrones characters, and Amanda Miller recognized the one on the right as Riddick from the Chronicles of Riddick, but who is the one on the left?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I dig this guy’s weird rabbit costume, but is he from anything specific? Victoria might be right that he’s the March Hare. It does sound about right.

unknown elf steampunk

Thank you Kira for pointing out that the gal on the left is from Steam Powered Giraffe. And thank you to Benjamin for letting me know that the elf is probably an elf from the Legend of Drizzt.

witch doctor unknown

This guy had a cool, creepy witch doctor thing going on, but I certainly didn’t recognize him.

two unknown guys costumes

The gent on the left seems to be from Assassin’s Creed, but I’m not sure about the one on the right. It was wonderful hearing him read from a trashy romance novel though.

Once again, if you recognize any of the costumes from the unknown costumes category, please let me know in the comments. Thanks!

Nearly 100 Great Cosplay Pictures From WonderCon 2013

Who doesn’t love some good cosplay? Well, there was plenty of it at WonderCon this year. You can see a few more over at Neatorama.

Comic Characters:

DSCN1483 Bat Woman is absolutely beautiful and quite sexy. DSCN1482 For that matter, so is Poison Ivy. DSCN1401 The new Captain Marvel is Super Sexy. -Thanks thatmagnificentbastard for IDing her. DSCN1461 I have never seen a Ninja Turtle Costume this good. DSCN1459 Bebop looked great too. DSCN1427 Green Arrow and The Black Canary make one hell of a pair. DSCN1417 Doctor Doom and the Scarlet Witch were perfect together. DSCN1400 The Riddler, Joker and Harley were ready to go to war. DSCN1395 What Aquaman was doing with Venom and Doctor Doom, I’ll never know. DSCN1381 Wonder Woman could certainly take down all those evil doers. DSCN1380 Batman was all too ready to take down Bane this time. DSCN1369 Robin, Joker and Harley make a good trio even if they aren’t all on the same side. DSCN1366 Ivy and Harley Quinn are looking pretty. DSCN1376 And for the first time, I got to see Elf Quest cosplay.

Cartoons:

There was also plenty of anime and cartoon costumes. DSCN1372 There were a lot of Ice Kings.   DSCN1374 The Baroness always looks sexy, I just wish this picture came out better. DSCN1382 A member of the crimson guard -thanks Thatmagnificentbastard. DSCN1436 She-Ra and He-Man looked good together, but I think He-Man could stand to work out those abs a little more. DSCN1384 This He-Man was in much better shape -and those red underwear are quite flattering. DSCN1397 Princess Merida had an utterly amazing dress and her three brother bears were quite cute too. DSCN1452 This Venellope Von Schweets costume (thank you Ciara) reminds me of a tasty cupcake. DSCN1428 Here are a variety of the Disney villains as their steam punk equivalent.

TV Shows and Movies:

From The Mickey Mouse Club to Rocky and more, here are all kinds of characters from a crazy variety of movies and TV shows.   DSCN1465 DSCN1435 All three of these Game of Thrones characters look great, but Baelish really looked spot on. DSCN1456 The Aquabats were ready to rock! DSCN1430 Jason, a zombie cop and Freddy are all looking terrifying. DSCN1429 Mal was quite dashing, as usual. DSCN1425 Wash and Jayne were also in good form. DSCN1419 Ripley was ready to kick ass, as usual, but I miss little Jones. DSCN1416 Karen of The Mickey Mouse Club was in perfect style and Disney was right behind her. DSCN1406 I’ve seen dozens of TARDIS dresses, but never a TARDIS pancho before. DSCN1399 Of course, there’s nothing wrong with TARDIS dresses, especially with David Tennant. DSCN1373 Pirate Amy and Cowboy Doctor looked adorable together. DSCN1394 The great thing about this costume was that it was all Duct Tape, including the accessories. DSCN1391 The official Star Trek booth babe looked great too. DSCN1392 Barf and Dark Helmet enjoyed a snack together. DSCN1388 Boba never looked so good, or so girly. DSCN1389 Who says you need a whole costume to get in the fun? This Gonzo was still quite delightful.
DSCN1466

Robot cowboys are always pretty awesome. This guy is from the Aquabats Super Show -thanks Rhian!

Video Games:

As always, there were plenty of cosplayers showing support for their favorite video games. DSCN1404 I don’t remember the Brotherhood wearing jeans, but it’s been a while. DSCN1412 Portal and Bioshock could actually make an incredible game when combined. DSCN1442 Everyone always loves Zelda. DSCN1418 This is Tira from Soul Caliber (thanks Chris). DSCN1410 Morrigan from Darkstalkers simply adores Superman. -Thanks for recognizing her Thatmagnificentbastard! DSCN1487 Mad Moxxxie is perhaps the sexiest game character around. DSCN1460 There was a lot of love for this Jak costume. DSCN1365 Here’s Terra from Final Fantasy 6 (thanks Chris).

Miscellaneous:

These guys don’t really fit in anywhere else, but they’re still awesome. DSCN1433 Minnie R2-D2 was played by the girl who usually plays as Hello Kitty R2-D2. DSCN1371 These adorable little robot critters were available for sale at the convention. DSCN1368 The other side of his sign said, “Caution, may contain awesome.”

Odd Pairings:

They may not go together in ordinary circumstances, but they still look awesome. DSCN1383 Sexy Sherlock and a female version of the entire MST3K TV show. DSCN1478 Silk Spectre and Doctor Manhattan with the new Bioshock cast? Why not? DSCN1378 The middle character is a Moogle, Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender is on the left (thanks Kaye), and the girl on the right is Lulu from Final Fantasy X -thank you plusone78! DSCN1379 Power Girl, Samas Aran and Phoenix. -Thanks thatmagnificentbastard DSCN1481 Witchblade and Master Chief looked surprisingly sexy together. DSCN1464 I love that sexy Chewbacca appears to be Bat Girl’s mom and that the two are being interviewed by Kermit. DSCN1451 Harley Quinn should go on Yo Gabba Gabba sometime -that would make me want to dance. DSCN1420 Pinkie Pie and female Loki make a great pair, which isn’t something I’d expect. DSCN1411 Tank Girl and Gadget are from such drastically different worlds, but that’s what makes this pairing so fantastical.
DSCN1475 I know the girl in the corset is Wic from The Devil’s Carnival (thanks Bryan) and she doesn’t belong with the other three, but I still have no idea who any of them are but the group still looks great together. The three other gals are from Homestuck, the two on the left are trolls, but even Chris doesn’t recognize the last one. Thanks Kendra for explaining these all. She explains:

Hi! I’m the wick cosplayer, and I can say that my friend on the right is Definitely the Condesce (how it is spelled) with her Betty Crocker make-up falling off. The troll on the far left is Equius, and the troll next to her is (from what I can remember) either Meenah or Feferi.

Unknown:

Have some idea who these characters are? I’d love to know so I can better organize them! DSCN1473 The Minnie ears were just for fun, but I can’t tell you who she’s playing. DSCN1375 Thatmagnificentbastard identified Zarana, Destro, Serpentor,  and Baroness. Can anyone else identify the last guy?
As always, if you recognize some of the unknown costumes, leave a comment so I can properly identify them! Samas Aran

Who Knew Psychos Were So Sexy?

Psycho-from-Borderlands

Well, at least psychos from Borderlands…there are plenty of very sexy psychos in real life. I’ve known plenty of people who have dated them in fact.
