Pets. We proclaim to love them yet we dress them up in ridiculous costumes. They might not be comfortable or thrilled, but cats and dogs in outfits equals happiness for humans. The animals will probably take their revenge one day but for now, just bask in the cuteness.

There’s getting a tattoo to show your devotion to your favorite book, film, or TV series and then there’s getting ink that covers your entire back. Both choices are a commitment but getting a giant tattoo removed is going to be a lot more expensive – if not impossible. The giant pieces are miniature masterpieces.
The huge X-Men tattoo featuring Dark Phoenix pictured above is stunning. Image found on Acid Cow.

Traditional wedding dresses are lovely, but it can be fun to break out of the mold too. The internet makes fashion designers incredibly accessible, and there are plenty of them out there who would love to make you a custom Star Wars, Final Fantasy, or Lord of the Rings inspired gown. These are just a sampling of the options available.
The above Star Wars dress was worn by Nadia, and I love it. It’s original but clearly inspired by the films.

We’ve all been in a costuming pinch. It’s easy to plan a grand costume for Halloween or renfaire or convention and forget to work on it until the weekend before the event. Last minute scrambles can produce absolute wrecks or creative ideas that are so silly they end up being awesome. Cardboard, styrofoam, and other household objects are usually involved as well as a trip to the local craft or hardware store. Desperation can fuel the muse, but sometimes it’s the cosplayer’s intent to make a ridiculous/wonderful costume. These are some of our favorites.
The above attempt at a costume of The Thing illustrates just how styrofoam could save the day. I think the foam just needs a little paint. Image found on Catsmob.

It’s approaching springtime and that means more wedding bells than usual are in the air. Though I don’t tend to get excited about weddings or planning them, seeing the plethora of geek flavored touches available to brides and grooms these days makes the whole affair more appealing. Etsy is full of treasures that allow you to either go with a complete theme or just add highlights that show off your fandom. I’ve found a few things that would add nerdiness to any nuptials.
Non-floral bouquets seem to be more popular these days so why not use them to share your passion? RBK Creations has plenty to choose from, including the Angry Birds design pictured above.

Thanks to Etsy, comic book fans can own a plethora of accessories featuring their favorite groups and characters. The number of X-Men necklaces on the site alone boggles the mind. The handmade marketplace offers options that just weren’t readily available before, and it’s easy to make a giant wishlist of jewelry, bags, scarves, cufflinks – you name it. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites.
A sound effect necklace is a classic choice. You can get the one pictured above for $18 from GlitterbombUK.

Sometimes cosplayers knock it out of the park and manage to look just like the characters they’re cosplaying as. I’ve seen some costumes done so perfectly I’ve had to stop to do a double take. Resembling a character physically can help, but it’s also possible to get really close with the right makeup, outfit, and wigs. These costumes hit every mark.
