Star Wars Fans w/ XX Chromosomes

Some of you will have seen SWchick.com, others won't. So I show it to everyone.

Website of a female SW costumer. Good, overall, although the photo shoot makeup is kinda excessive.

Highlight? Slave Leia. I'll be in my bunk.

Lowlight? Fem-Trooper. Really, let's not take the phrase "breastplate" QUITE so seriously, okay, sweetums?

I don't know if it was this woman or another one, but there was a fem-trooper running around at Gencon this year. Even more bizarre than the breast-plate was the bare midriff...

It doesn't do much for me - moreso for the fact that I think that lady is rather unattractive than the geek-costume sex-symbol thing.

I think she's pretty ugly, all things considered.

Yeah, kinda what I said.

Not bad. If someone's going to do some cosplay, then I'm glad there's folks out there who at least pay the sort of obsessive attention to detail (er, except for the hair) that the strange little hobby requires.

Personally J, I don't mind the female trooper brestplate since it makes some sense. For instance, you're defending the galaxy against rebel scum 24/7 would you want your balls mashed flat in a vice while you're doing it? No? I feel the same way about my breasts. Not a happy feeling.

I'll second the stupidity of the bare midriff trooper costume however.

Her costumes are good. I have no problem with the makeup since without it you tend to look washed out and exceptionally horrid in most cases. She seems to be very detail oreinted wth her costumes which makes me wonder why she didn't get a wig for Leia who has brown hair. (Unless it's a "being blond makes me hotter thing", in which case I cringe at the lameness.

As for the "She's ugly" comments, that's the best you can come up with? >_< Yo babies, we're all ugly to someone.

Okay, there she is... Slave Leia outfits are definitely of the good. Everything else is kinda... meh.
