I may have to watch Oneechanbara again tonight.

(almost-) author's comments:

“I wanted to share a project with you that I started over the past month with my father. My dad Larry Nicholson was a commercial photographer in Kansas City for many years and I started working through his archive and posting my weekly findings on a website. As you will see my dad shot a little bit of everything from knights to circus elephants. I thought you might enjoy it.”

Very nice, Vizzini! Somewhat like that "Luke Skywalker on Tauntaun" cosplay, one can't help but wonder how much time, detail, and funds are used in all to create these wearable works of art.

It also reminds me of this portrayal, which I found earlier this week:

look blue when pacman chased us and the normal colors when we chased pacman

To celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of Star Wars:
 

I had just realized when I sumbitted the above response that I had not yet featured of what I was referring to (here); allow me to remedy that now, and a pretty good time to do so, too, considering this is the Star Wars Anniversary weekend.

Originally seen HERE

I think it will be almost immediately obvious why I've bothered to link this video:


Wikipedia "Caramelldansen" if you don't get it, but, honestly, can't you just appreciate the girl and the bouncing?

Edit: I have no idea why it's double posting the video and a bunch of random code that I can't seem to edit out...

Edit 2: Thanks Jetee!

Those boobs sure can dance...

If only the song was tolerable.

I went this weekend to Anime North in Toronto.
Here's the facebook page.

Cosplay in Japan... (play on My Neighbor Totoro)

.. is either one of two things: beautifully-intricate, or exceptionally-creepy (sometimes a coalescence of both) ;
the sure thing, though, is that, as a whole, they don't half-ass the effort.

"I wonder if anyone has ever pitched the idea of a horror version of 'Say Anything'…
with a bunch of Lloyd Doblers stalking a girl…actually that still sounds like a awesome love story."
