Don't worry, I don't expect you to laugh.

Blah blah blah hot chicks in costume.

The much anticipated third installment of my female costumers that rock more than gravy covered tater-tots. I think you've got the idea by now, so lets start!


*Colleen
 While, obviously, being an incredibly creative and beautiful woman, this costumer is also a Derby girl. That's right, not only can she kick ass with a sewing machine and any material, she can also knock you down on some skates. She's been my inspiration as I've continued costuming and is always always always coming up with some new project that makes all the other projects look like a lame Pimp My Ride episode. Not the cool ones. I chose this picture (among the two I could find on google) for its evidence of her superior creativity. My favorite of her current costumes, though, is probably her female Dr. Strange. She did this for the first time this year, and it looked amazing. She hand painted giraffe print arm warmers... I think that's all I have to say.

*Sherita
 I have had the pleasure of chatting with this lovely lady several years in a row. She's an incredible sweetheart and a dedicated costumer. This year, she got painted blue to finish the proper look of a character, which is amazing. She is often accompanied by her man, who is also awesome (but I don't want to get sidetracked). I love seeing what she chooses and I love that she enjoys repeating her costumes. She has a knack for the specific characters that work best for her. I can't wait to see what she does next year, I can only hope I get to chat with her longer than I did this year!

 I was SO surprised to learn that Jess is new to the costuming scene. New as in... Just started this year. I'm blown away by her talent and ability to really get the character. Already she's a favorite of the artist who actually DREW AND DESIGNED THE DANGER GIRLS comic. She's a wonderful model, a very sweet person, and as you can see here a dead ringer for Abbey Chase. I didn't get a chance to really see most of her costumes this year, but I think Abbey is my favorite. She's really got the entire idea down. Talking to her has revealed some of what she has plans for the future. If its anything like what she's accomplished so far, she's going to be a dynamite costumer!! Keep an eye out for this one, cause she's going to blow you away. Probably not with that gun.

*Princess Sandy

As you can see, Maxim even finds this girl to be spectacular. She's a huge Star Wars fan, and her costumes always turn out stupendous. Take a look at her fan page to see some of the other wonderful pieces she's done, because I can't say enough about them. She's a super sweet lady, a blonde bombshell and a stunning costumer. She gets outside of the SW lines as well, having done a very nice Princess Bride and a host of other costumes I can't even begin to describe.

*Meagan
Meagan's website
Another Meagan who rocks the costuming... This lady is my star. I'm actually jealous of her ability to bring these characters to life. She's done EVERY costume I had originally planned to do, and so much better than I ever could. This Aphrodite IX is evidence of such. She's also brought to life, in stunning result, Poison Ivy, the Magdalena and Sydney Savage. My four all-time NEED-to-do-costume costumes and she's done them with such amazing ability I'm at a loss for words. If I ever meet this girl I'm pretty sure I'll fan gush and she'll think I'm a crazy spaz. Ah well. I'm happy there's another lady out there hitting these visions straight out of the park because its an awesome treat for the eye. I'll continue stalking her from a distance and gush over every new costume she does. (Much like I did for her newest Lara Croft).

Ok, not as many fan pages this time, but you get the drift. I'm trying to space out the fan pages because there aren't a lot left on the list... Apparently not enough of these ladies know how incredibly awesome they are and how much people love to see their costumes! Hopefully I can post another of these soon...

  2. There are still more awesome female costumers that I do hope you take the time to share.

    I wish blogspot had some sort of tag system for me to easily navigate between these related female costumer posts.

  3. @Nigel, thank you. I already have planned a LOT more awesome costumers. Most have some sort of link, but those that don't and aren't as well known I plan to use some of Lenny's pics for.
    Thanks for reading!
