Friday, May 28th, 2010Some delightful nut who calls herself “The Horse Tailor” actually crafts geeky costumes for horses, clearly with no regard for the nobility of those animals. Or for intellectual property rights, for that matter. Behold the Batman costume. And a horse whose spirit has been broken.

Thursday, May 27th, 2010Hi, people. I’m currently working on a new blog design for GWS. (In part because I’ve decided that “2003″ is no longer a good look.)

‘Cause Motorcyclists Looove Cosplay: Iron Man Motorcycle Suit

The Top Five Awful Tauntaun Costumes [Cosplay]
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Presented in honor* of the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. * Intended for loose interpretation.

Let’s not let semantics keep us from the important task at hand: [...]
Has It Stopped Moving?: “Left 4 Dead” Zombie Cake [Geeky Cake]
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Debbie Goard of Debbie Does Cakes (see her fantastic Darth Maul cake and Millennium Falcon cake) has once again knocked it out of the park with this Left 4 Dead birthday cake featuring zombie appendages and a first aid pack from the game. Of course, when I speak of “the park,” I’m referring to the game [...]
