Community requests:
Last week comradetrotskii asked if I could find some good cosplay of women dressed as giant insects. I may have failed miserably on my first request. There are not too many costumes out there that feature giant bugs, and when there are, the costumes too difficult to pull of well. What I did find were some lovely Spider Woman and Fairy Cosplay (hey, they have wings!!), but the majority of what I found is probably considered the lowest of the low in the cosplay world, mass-produced Halloween Costumes . Whatever… they are hot…

So there are your bug ladies…it was the best I could do!

I also found this when searching “Spider Woman” It was titled “why god made spandex”…



Hope you enjoyed! I will have more a week from today!

Please no more cosplay.
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
But I love Hollie, but still...
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
There is SOOOOOO much win in this post. (Expect those last two, WTF was that all about?)
Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
lol...the guys seem to like the cosplay! If they keep asking, I keep posting!
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
They could just type cosplay into google but I suppose :P ;-)
comradetrotskii's Destructoid Blog
Ha ha those are all awesome. I didn't think you'd take that request seriously. I'm laughing so hard right now that I'm not even going to provide context for people that now think I have some sort of crazy insect fetish.

You have more than made my day, thanks.
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
@ Virtualgirl:

The purple, green and red hair chicks were what made it win for me. The rest were sort of inbetween and mesh-ish IMO.
EternalDarkWing's Destructoid Blog
The one for Gordon Freeman is terrible. Fake crowbar also = lose.
Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
Lol...that is what i thought before I started doing this. You can just type cosplay in to google, but it is fucking hard to find GOOD cosplay! I am doing FFVII for my first themed post next week, and it took me FOUR hours to find enough good costumes to post. I checked 15-20 sites...it took forever...
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
actually puppet is right, originally anime is ment for a sexual thing. No one can admit this but its true.
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
To shorten juggernauts post:

MOAR ASIAN GIRLZ PLZ! KTHX.

I also condone this statement.
Roflcopter Pilot's Destructoid Blog
It's Eva and Snake!!!

GOD!
ZigZagMan's Destructoid Blog
I hate the stupid comments about cosplay when people say stuff like "zomg there hot!11"

Saying that, the Kusanagi cosplay is awesome.
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
actually puppet is right, originally anime is ment for a sexual thing. No one can admit this but its true.
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
@ atheistium

You win the award for the lastest, double post, EVER!
Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
Lol...I know the freeman one is not super great, but I think that he looks like the character, so I had to post it...I guess that is strange though that he used a fake crowbar...

@atheistium...I can't imagine that anime and cosplay started as anything that was NOT uber sexual...haha
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Nice Motoko, but that Gordon Freeman had me crying with laughter
Zac Bentz's Destructoid Blog
zomg that Hermoione is hot!11

Anyway, welcome to Jtor! Yay!
Tron Knotts's Destructoid Blog
Bible Black cosplay? What?

Does that mean a human girl actually watched Bible Black and enjoyed it?


Copyright 2008 Agent Chieftain's Destructoid Blog
I LOL'd at the Gordon Freeman one. Why no headcrab on the face?
Monkeycat's Destructoid Blog
Gordon Freeman is an asshole. <3 Loved it.

You know what would really impress me? A decent King of All Cosmos cosplay.
Funnydale's Destructoid Blog
I think that most people will agree with me....

No more male cosplay! lol
Copyright 2008 Agent Chieftain's Destructoid Blog
Monkeycat, I believe I posted this one last week.
Gordon Freeman? Asshole? Are you fucking kidding me?



Monkeycat's Destructoid Blog
SEEN IT.

UNIMPRESSED.

Not nearly faggy enough.
Monkeycat's Destructoid Blog
And uhh as far as Gordon Freeman being an asshole... if you don't get that joke, I feel for you.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
I like that Hermione. She might actually be legal. And that elf looks damned eerie! "Good job" to her then, I suppose. And hey, Meagan, keep on doing this if you want to. Don't feel obligated, though. Unless you're just doing it for the Dtoid points. :)

And I still have a crush on pheonix blood's face. *blush*
Morrius's Destructoid Blog
These are all much too scary for words. lets hear it for this old classic though:



Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
@sharp: Haha...for the most part, I do this for me. I get excited seeing how amazing some of these costumes are, so its a way for me to justify all the time I spend online looking at cosplay...

As for the King...this is the best I have seen, most of the guys who try should not be in spandex...


Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
Lol...I am slightly retarded...I did put Meryl and snake instead of Eva and snake...lol
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
Proof that guy's should always have a limit to the size of pants they wear. They shouldent be TO baggy (no one wants to see your damn underwear) and they shouldent be to tigt (self explainitory by the picture).
Monkeycat's Destructoid Blog
It pleases me greatly. >:3 OH LOOK A LITTLE PRINCE IN THE QUEEN'S BASKET OHHHH. <333
kawitchate's Destructoid Blog
don't listen to the haters VG. keep on doin' what ya doin'.

gordon freeman's face is priceless (especially since he made it for both photos).

ut oh - Kairi. another video game girl weakness of mine... like Yuna from last week... 'cept this one's under age. giggidy giggidy.
Phist's Destructoid Blog
Cosplay is retarded, but I support my fellow scone activist Pheonix. Go Holly! How's the universities? We miss you.
DynamicSheep's Destructoid Blog
That first Kairi was awesome... I've never played KHII, but she looks spot on like Kairi from the original KH in that first one.
Lukich's Destructoid Blog
Bible Black cosplay? Not that I would ever know what Bible Black is, but yeah, what Tron said...
s0lesurviv0r's Destructoid Blog
Damn, resisting the urge to rightclick+save on the Kusanagi bent over pic. Also, having seen so many Bible Black episodes, fanart, etc, I can't help but see the irony of the words "holy thing" in the second Reika Kitami picture.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
Man, something about that elf girl is really eerie. It almost looks like it'd be painful to be made up like that.
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
to be honest, id much rather read this than other 'zomg teh bioshocks' post. well done VG

also Neonie says:

There is SOOOOOO much win in this post. (except those last two, WTF was that all about?)

if thats directed at me, you do better!
Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
@Lemon: Yeah, I know not all guys love cosplay...I am sure most of them think it is very strange...but that is okay with me!!!

@Mxy: I know! That is the main reason I posted that one, it looks like it is right out of a fantasy movie...it is so real it is almost creepy...

@pheonix:lol...evidently Neonie does not appreciate the fine womenz of destructoid...I love all the guys shocked about the Bible Black cosplay...care to explain yourself??? LOL
s0lesurviv0r's Destructoid Blog
Bible Black wiki for the uninformed, Bible Black is one of the weirder hentai anime out there. Reika Kitami, the antagonist, is one of the highlights of weirdness with her being androgynous, being able to grow a male member when the situation requires it...and it comes up alot.
Garbz's Destructoid Blog
Well that Bible Black cosplay basically confirms my theory that pheonix-blood is actually a man.
s0lesurviv0r's Destructoid Blog
Well actually Ms Blood's costume is the younger Reika Kitami from Bible Black: Origins/Gaiden which takes place before she became evil and had a panty-covered switchblade.
LethalHairdo's Destructoid Blog
ZOMG @ Morgan cosplay...
Garbz's Destructoid Blog
@s0lesurviv0r:

Alright then, that Bible Black Cosplay confirms my theory that pheonix-blood will eventually become a man.
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
and i will fucking rape you
Garbz's Destructoid Blog
Oh god!

Not teh man rapez!

I bet you'd cosplay for that event as well wouldn't you?

Ah well, if s0lesurviv0r's knowledge of this particular anime is correct, i have a while yet before you turn into an anime dickgirl and try and rape me.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Freeman wins! He defeats all opponents!

Well except Hollie. :D
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
well duh!
Tristero's Destructoid Blog
I love this series. I agree that it is hard to find good cosplay. If I looked for hours I would amass less than half of your excellent pictures. Great scavenging and I look forward to more!
Fanart Fighter's Destructoid Blog
I once saw an article called "Why Americans shouldn't cosplay," which featured really bad costumes compared to there stunning japanese counterparts. This post puts that stereotype to rest.
