This Lady Thor cosplay is absolute perfection! It features cosplayer uxipara as photographed by Joey Mena. It’s a great interpretation of the costume, right down to the huge, flowing cape on her shoulders.

Photographer Jamie C. Moore wanted to do something special for her 5-year old daughter’s birthday photos and hit upon the idea of portraying her as amazing female historical figures.
She explains it better than I can, so here’s the explanation from her site.
So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Disney Princesses, from their beautiful dresses, perfect hair, gorgeous voices and most with ideal love stories in the mix you can’t help but become entranced with the characters. But it got me thinking, they’re just characters, a writers tale of a princess (most before 1998)…an unrealistic fantasy for most girls (Yay Kate Middleton!).
It started me thinking about all the REAL women for my daughter to know about and look up too, REAL women who without ever meeting Emma have changed her life for the better. My daughter wasn’t born into royalty, but she was born into a country where she can now vote, become a doctor, a pilot, an astronaut, or even President if she wants and that’s what REALLY matters. I wanted her to know the value of these amazing women who had gone against everything so she can now have everything. We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world……..so let’s set aside the Barbie Dolls and the Disney Princesses for just a moment, and let’s show our girls the REAL women they can be.
I love that she’s inspiring her daughter and capturing her in these gorgeous photos at the same time.

Are you ready to be dazzled by yet another awesome Warhammer 40K costume? We recently featured a Captain Septimus Tancred design and we were blown away by it, and now there’s this equally cool one by Henrik Pilerud. This is a Marine Blood Angels Tactical Sergeant, 7th company, 9th squad costume. Pilerud carefully assembled the armor over four months; he estimated it took 300 hours. It’s about 7 feet tall and weighs 55 pounds. Wow. Getting dressed in the costume isn’t easy either. It takes 15 minutes and he requires help getting in and out of the foam armor.
The quality of the costume is top notch. Just look at all the details with the weathering, the paint, and the little touches. It’s freaking amazing.
Check out a video of the costume in action after the break.
When Seth and Laura decided to get married, they incorporated their two favorite superheroes into the day in a big way. Seth loved Nightwing while Laura loved Batgirl so they each turned their parts of the wedding into hommages to their favorite character. The bride gets a utility belt and Batgirl garters while the entire wedding party gets masks.

Jessica Rabbit is just one of those costumes that will always attract attention. The dress has a provocative cut, she’s a redhead, and the list goes on.

In an attempt to promote the premiere of Iron Man 3, a theater in Jefferson City, Missouri hired people to dress up like S.H.I.E.L.D agents and storm a screening with weapons drawn.
“We’re just getting into the car when I spotted a man in full assault gear, carrying what appeared to be a modified M-4 and 9 mm on his side,” said John Molock, an army war vet who says the experience triggered his PTSD.
Needless to say, if there were people carrying concealed weapons in the theater things could have taken a turn for the tragic very quickly. However, the stunt did result in several 911 calls, which didn’t make the local police happy.
Capital 8 Theaters manager Bob Wilkins claimed that the stunt was planned months in advance and when asked directly whether or not they took the Colorado shootings into consideration when forming the plan he responded thusly:
