    Cosplay models are just the extension of the old booth babes concept at video game shows. Nearly nude smokeshows are popular with nerds?!?!?!

    I know WHAT they are, they're people who play Halloween when it isn't Halloween (yes, that's what it is.). But since it's now a profession, why isn't every vapid hot chick in the country fighting for jobs in this industry? It's not like it isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

    I have absolutely no vendetta against nerd culture (despite like many I enjoy poking fun at it here and there), there's parts of it I love and I know a few of their favourite things just as good or a lot better than many of them do. But last time I was at a ComicCon I watched people pay $15 for a glossy 8 x 11 autographed photo of a nobody dressed like Laura Croft. In this day and age we have pornography at our fingertips, whenever we want, and this girl had at least twenty guys and their hoverhands lined up to meet her.

    THAT'S the part I can't figure out. It's a strange phenomenon to me.

    Why go through the trouble of dressing in elaborate costumes when you can be a donation based instagram model and make 5k a month like this average army wife? It's not that hard, dudes like to see girls naked or close to, this can override logic. It's just the way it is.

    Thank you for that. I just died:
    HAHAHAHAHAHA "Still finds time" are you fucking kidding me with this Dependa-pig. Society has a very pathetic grasp on what qualifies as hard work these days. I wonder what women who raise kids and also have actual, functioning jobs think of that.

    Then again, we know what toughest thing about the Armed Forces is:

    When did cosplay become a word?

    2010-" that dude has a Spider-Man costume. "

    2012-" that is a badass Spider-Man cosplay"

    As far as I can tell both mean the same thing. It confuses me.

    You're not confused, my friend. You're simply correct.

    I got some close friends go to ComicCon. They're local teachers and their district gets them tickets. Their facebook feed is pretty interesting now. I don't get ComicCon and fantasy playing, whatever, but if thats your thing thats cool.

    Well cosplay model is a better side-gig for Instagram chicks than moonlighting as a Dubai Porta-Potty.

    Adding play as a modifier usually denotes ultimately disappointing kink porn genres. I think there was a large subculture of costume fanatics that had traditionally been for random stuff like SteamPunk and other old timey things, that go well into film production level craftsmenship. In the mid aughts comic book movies became the endless tentpole in pop culture and many of these people moved into this genre. Then Jessica Nigri came along and proved once again the eternal equation boobs+(insert anything)=CashMoney.

    This dude was just arrested here for murder during a hobo brawl. Is that supposed to be a racing stripe?

    It is.

    "A fight between an unknown number of homeless people left one man dead on Friday, according to Las Vegas police.

    Police were called to the 1300 block of East Flamingo Road, near Maryland Parkway, around 1:30 p.m. Friday. One homeless suspect stabbed another homeless man during the altercation.

    The stabbing victim was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced deceased."

    I wish his roommate was there getting ass-raped by the entire lot of them. He should marry one of Flat Rate's cousins and create the Perfect AntiChrist.
