Comic-Con 2010 Cosplay: If It’s Geeky, Girls Will Make It Slutty

Comic-Con 2010! A glorious expo that attracts the geeky, the nerdy, and the overall obsessed.

Oh, and girls dressed like skanks.

Cosplay, the art of recreating the attire of a fictional character to wear as a real-life costume, has many different forms. Sometimes the costumes are impressively spot-on. Sometimes it’s just a fat man in a dress. But more often than not, in this world full of young people clawing for the spotlight, it’s skinny females dressed as skanky versions of nerd icons.

Now, I’m not saying I’m against this in the least - it’s all in good fun! Hot chicks know that skin and cleavage plus a little added nerd-dom gets them endless attention at expos, so why should they stop? They shouldn’t. Because as long as they’re there, and as long as they’re slutty, we’ll all keep looking at them.

Boba Fett from Star Wars...sort of?

To Star Wars fans, Boba Fett is known by two terms: “bad” and “ass.” He’s one of the most worshipped and idolized Star Wars characters of all time, and, while I appreciate this nod to Mr. Fett, I’m going to go ahead and say this armor would be completely worthless in a real Blaster battle.

“DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS!”

Who doesn’t like Ghostbusters? The films are classic. Now, I’m not sure if the wardrobe department on the set of the movies considered this “look” at all, but hell, they should have. Think of how much more popular a sexy version of Ghostbusters would be! Wait… now it sounds like I’m pitching a porno. Ignore me.

Snow White and the DDD Cups

I’m sorry, but this is a total cop-out. Last time I checked, Snow White is not a “geek” icon, so I’m going to assume this is her leftover costume from Kappa Kappa Beta’s Halloween party last year. I’m sure if you looked closely, you could see Kokanee stains.

GET THE RAID®!

Either this girl is in desperate need of a giant shoe, or she’s attempting to predict the costume for the new Spider-Man movie. Personally, I like it. Maybe if the first Spider-Man movies had more shiny red skirts, Hollywood wouldn’t have to REMAKE THEM.

Just like the real heroes… but SEX-AY!

Sometimes I wonder if these girls who continue to dress up like stripper versions of America’s most beloved Super Heroes realize what these characters actually stand for. They stand for justice. Peace. Liberty. Courage. Strength. Wisdom. And most of all, standing up for the little guy.

Then I think, well, they don’t seem to care about any of those things, but they DO have little guys standing up for THEM, so it evens out! Get it? It’s a sexual joke. By “little guys” I mean “penises.” But by explaining the joke, it’s completely lost its comedic appeal. And what’s Dipped In Cream without the hilarious sexual innuendo?

I’m callin’ it. Those things are REAL.

Now, this person’s actual gender may or may not be appropriate for this character in particular. But does that stop… him or her? NO! Should it? NEVER! This is Comic-Con. This is cosplay. This is AMERICA. Let nerds be nerdy, let sluts be slutty, and let FREEDOM RING, BABY!
