Excellent! If I could write like this I would be well chuffed. The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.

We really didn’t fit into the 80s, probably because we were starving students in the midst of yuppiedom. It seemed that most peeps that dressed typical 80s were either five to ten years younger or older than us. *snort*

Nice get up! KoL (remember her?) did an 80s thing for Halloween a few years back that was similarly “scary” (good thing).

Oh, and you dance like a girl. ;-J

Aw, honey…you’ve always been fascinating to me. Then again, I had no idea that’s what that thing was called. I’m just glad you stopped wearing it around the house ALL THE TIME!

Comment on Sexified Costumes Aren’t Necessary by Chajiko

Apparently my original comment got swallowed, so I’ll try and reconstruct it–though it won’t be the same, of course *sadface*

One of the most painful things about the whole sexy costume trend is the absolute LACK of creativity that goes into designing them. Need a sexy TMNT costume? Green mini dress, eyemask and padded backpack! Sexy Wolverine? Yellow and blue mini dress and claws! Sexy Optimus Prime? Blue and red mini dress with a robotic looking hairpiece! Hmmmm. I’m starting to see a pattern here.

There are ways to make male character costumes look feminine WITHOUT resorting to the totally unoriginal (and played out) mini skirt and low neckline combination. It’s a fun challange, and often times the results can be REALLY stunning without being just another way to show off a little leg and cleavage.

Sorry, bit of a PS here–
But even X-23 aside, WHY dress up like Wolverine when you could be Rogue, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat!), Pixie or any NUMBER of the awesome Marvel ladies?!
