Brace for Adorable Impact: The Kids’ Costumes of Comic-Con 2010
By Great White Snark | July 28, 2010
Oh, did you think I was done pandering to you for a while after yesterday’s gratuitous Slave Leia post?
No… no, I am not. As long as there is hearty cleavage and/or kids doing adorable things in the world, I. Won’t. Stop. Pandering.
You might as well sit back and enjoy it.
Someone on my Twitter feed actually said, “Uh, but is that a little girl in a boy’s costume?” And then I assume they drooled and breathed heavily through their gaping mouth. Because they’re stupid.

You’re Welcome!: Comic-Con 2010 Slave Leia Costumes
By Great White Snark | July 27, 2010
Had you noticed a lack of Slave Leia costumes in my other Comic-Con posts? Well, one, you’re a sharp little nugget. And, two… I’ve been saving them to present in one fell (pandering) swoop. Enjoy.

Ah, yes. The inevitable Comic-Con Slave Leia group shot. Almost as much of a spectacle? The panting fanboys who immediately swarm the scene, as seen in the video, below.

Comic-Con 2010 Costumes Gallery – Day 3
By Great White Snark | July 27, 2010
There’s only one set of photos of costumes from Day 3 of San Diego Comic-Con 2010. Because by the time the third day of Comic-Con rolls around, 125,000 sweaty nerds have helped me develop a hearty distaste for humanity. The majority of the day ends up spent drinking and mumbling.
Tank Girl costume. Who also happened to be a performer at Topless Robot’s Nerd Burlesque show, and the proud owner of a pair of The Crazy Eyes.
Street Fighter costumes. Pretty sure both the ridiculous hair and the ridiculous bulge are real.

Comic-Con 2010 Costumes Gallery – Day 2, Part 4
By Great White Snark | July 27, 2010
And so concludes Day 2’s coverage of the costumes and cosplay from San Diego Comic-Con 2010.
What a relief. I wonder if this is what getting a colon-cleansing feels like.
An uncanny Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man impersonator. I wonder if he does kids’ birthday parties. Ha, ha. Just kidding. He DEFINITELY does kids’ birthdays.
Sexy Sleeping Beauty costume. And her friend. Whose boobs are apparently filled with poison. BEWARE.

Comic-Con 2010 Costumes Gallery – Day 2, Part 3
By Great White Snark | July 26, 2010
Nope, I’m not even done with the costumes from Day 2 of San Diego Comic-Con 2010. There’s so much more marvel/misery ahead.
I don’t know… carnie?
Star Trek cosplayers. Yeah, don’t let us interrupt your lunch. Or your selection of a horrible canon for costume inspiration.

Shuffle Harder!: Comic-Com Zombie Walk 2010
By Great White Snark | July 26, 2010
On Saturday, July 24, I had the good fortune to cross paths with the annual Zombie Walk on the streets outside the convention center at San Deigo Comic-Con 2010.
A hell of a lot of zombies participated in the walk; it took about ten minutes for all of them to shuffle/stumble/stroll by me while I took video. The zombie costumes were much like the other Comic-Con costumes in that they ranged from the terrible and lazy to the spectacular and hilarious. (You haven’t lived ’til you’ve seen cosplaying zombie children staying in character.)
So, if you like the idea of spectating a zombie walk while listening to me offer constructive guidance to the “zombies” and also occasionally gleefully giggle like a schoolgirl of diminutive stature… then this is the video for you. You’ll probably want to watch the first minute or so, then skip around.
P.S. Sorry for the sudden cuts and changing aspect ratio of the video. Spielberg, I am not.
