My dick isn't displeased


LOL you guys! :lol: It's a constant debate, you know, staying loyal vs. sexing things up coz it's your choice. Personally I'd love to see her in an accurate costume because the things she dresses up in are really well-made. It would be great to see the quality of her costumes show in anime-accurate designs next time.

I sort of agree. Sexing up a costume is not really as impressive as completely accurately recreating something from fiction.

Oh wow.. her hair does seem to be thinning. She has a pronounced forehead too, which doesn't really help. Girls with the same feature normally wear bangs to hide it and give the appearance of a smaller face.

That's why there are die-hard cosplay's who are unimpressed with most of her work, I guess. Cosplayers are all about accurately portraying a character in looks and movement. To have a girl wear an Ash (Pokemon) costume is not a big deal, for example. But when Ash suddenly looks provocative and does nothing like the character does, we can really expect eyebrows to shoot up.

The googly-eyed Pascal makes it.

There's more here: http://usagi-tsukino-krv.deviantart.com/ She's got some amazing costumes :wub:


NICE!!! :D I love the movie, so..! She even wore emerald contact lenses--exactly like Rapunzel. Great job.

Oh and great photography on the Sandy Suicide pics. :)

Though honestly who cares if the die hard cosplayers don't like her, there's always a bunch losers in any fandom who are overly protective over their hobby when people dare to enjoy it in a different way to them. This seems a particular problem for female cosplayers with all the fake geek girl bullshit and general harassment you read about.

And on a more positive note one of my favourites:

Hmm maybe. But looking at the photographer, one of the women has been on deviantart for 8 years (you can't spoof that date), so unless she joined when she was under 10 years old, she's "legal". http://tailstastic.deviantart.com/

On a related note, a B/C cup is average size in the west, especially in the UK and USA. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/2 ... 56565.html

All these massive boobs warping our perception of sexual maturity. :dread:

Normal boobs. :wub: In this country I think men in general expect way bigger boobs than is realistic (yet alone practical for the owner).

Edit: it's probably illegal to get tattoos under the age of 18 in the USA as children can't consent to a contract to perform a procedure on their bodies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_sta ... ted_States

Case closed, guilt destroyed. :cool:

You might be going to hell but at least you're not going to prison.

I was more implying they looked a bit too ladyboy-ish rather than underage.
