Mario Loves A Party

Those Mario parties have really changed over the last couple of years.

Russell from Up

This is one of those costumes that put a big smile on my face the second I saw it. It has everything I love in costumes.

The Face of Cobra

I love Cobra Commander, mostly because he is like a cult leader. According to the comic, the white strip on the helmet opens up and that is where the lock is. It would be cool to see that actually work on a costume.

Sack Boy

The Little Big Planet Sackboy costume is one of the best from FanimeCon this year. It works on all levels. It is unique, hard to do, not something everyone is doing, and it is familiar, but without being obvious. This makes my list of the top 10 costumes from this show.

Pac-Man Fever

All I need to see now is someone cosplay Space Invaders, Combat, and Pong. This is really cool I think cosplaying the ghosts from the video game would be cool also.

Pyramid Head and Bubble Nurse

I realize that this photo creeps me out because these two are holding hands with a kind of tenderness. this is not a tender costume combo.

Deep Character List

Anime is so deep with characters, I am not sure I could keep up even if I tried. I will have to rely on the internet to tell me who these characters are.

When I look at her costume, it reminds me of the Sgt. Pepper movie with the Bee Gees.

Update: Regina Berry from Phoenix Wright: Justice for All

Yoshi Girl

I love this costume. It is because she is not trying to look like Yoshi, but it is trying to remind us of Yoshi. Is there a name for this style of costume. While I love cosplay, I do not know much about every part of the world. I need to become friends with some cosplayers.

Military Costumes

I know the whole Military Costume thing in anime has to do with Japan in World War II. There is a long cultural shadow there. I still think it is interesting. For some reason some of the costumes remind me of Michael Jackson.

Left 4 Bride

I will admit that I love the idea of bride zombies. It is a clear sign that the world turned to crap on the worst day you could pick. There is something cool about that.

I also think there is something a little screwed up about this. I wonder if someone on the game design team either has a problem with his wife, or was a bridesmaid to the worst woman ever. This says something.

All that's missing is Billy Idol.

FanimeCon San Jose

Nothing says Fanime has come to town like women dressed like this. I do not know the character, but I know she is anime related.

Gordon Freeman and his Gravity Gun

You got to love this costume. Gordon Freeman is not the average action hero. This is the perfect geek costume.

Slacker Gryffindor Student

I think this person is out of uniform. I am not sure the jeans meet the dress code. I think this is a good example of Slacker Costume.

Dark Phoenix

I love the Dark Phoenix costume, but it shows you how funny costumes were designed in the 70s. It shows how people do not think about what it will like in the real world.
