Ok, Brian, I'll give you that one. After five years, my experience with cosplay
and fandom..there's all kinds.. you get some good ones (like your pic) and some
not so good ones. Granted, Celebration III will bring out the die-hards that
have some incredible costumes (and those who work hard at really "becoming" the
character in all aspects).
(I've never done cosplay, but I do have a design for an anime-inspired hardsuit that hides my extra bulk.. ;) Not as easy to do in a Leia bikini... (BTW, you ever notice the Leia minfig torso has some shading to give the image of a waist and hips?) I didn't notice it until recently.
And what happens at HOB...stays at HOB! (although I really wished I'd been
there...)
