Thursday, June 4th, 2009This charming little black number inspired by Darth Vader was created by custom costume- and corset-makers Evening Arwen.
Yes, “Evening Arwen” sounds like a new age band of hippie night evles, but even hippies know better than to tempt the ire of the formidable LucasFilm licensing empire. That’s why they’ve dubbed this Darth Vader corset ensemble [...]
The Baroness Is Even Sexy on Laundry Day - Costume
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009From deviantART user TheZe of Atlanta, GA comes this costume of The Baroness, who’s taking a break from her intelligence-gathering duties to add some Downy freshness to Cobra Commander’s pajamas. (Which can easily be mistaken for his formal military garb. Don’t be fooled.)

Final Fantasy Cosplay Is Starting to Grow on Me
Friday, February 20th, 2009Anyone who’s followed my robustly-photo-logged comic convention coverage knows that I don’t have the attention span or the desire to figure out the differences between the various Japanese animes. When I see a themed cosplayer, I call it “Naruto” and move on with my life.
