Could be wrong, but she looks like the woman that was cosplaying Yoko at the Bandai booth at Otakon a year to two ago.

Not may cup of tea, the cosplay itself is so-so. but i really don't know is how do people cosplay as these characters don't they get cold or feel "exposed"?

Cosplaying a 14 year old with no underboob. FAIL.

I agree. That one was better.

I can't help but wonder if the column is flickr-only.

I don't want to be mean and say that people shouldn't cosplay unless they can pull off the look of the character properly . . . but people shouldn't cosplay unless they can pull off the look of the character properly.

The Yoko that SailorDJ linked to actually had the breasts to pull off the look. This Yoko however most assuredly does not, and all I can stare at is how badly her top is making her breasts look.

Girls, take note. Although guys like breasts no matter how they (the breasts) look, we do mourn when you put them in a totally unsuitable and unflattering top. Breasts should be admired, not pitied.

And that's all I'm going to say about that.

That Yoko is a trap, get implants if otherwise.
My thoughts.

I personally think the photo doesn't give full justice but to each their own. Also I'm pretty sure this is the same girl http://www.cosplay.com/member/239605/ .

Maybe she didn't have a friend to keep on checking that her outfit was okay, and therefore had to use something that her mammaries wouldn't slip out of.

I mean, let's be fair to anyone trying to cosplay as Yoko; the outfit is very daring and was not made with real physics in mind.

If you want to argue semantics, Yoko is 14 years old. I'm not gonna go past that.

So only fourteen-year-old girls with overly large breasts (especially for their age) are allowed to cosplay as Yoko?

Even I think that's harsh.

Video
Not sure if he was serious with this video, but the man has connections to Gainex themselves so I take this as truth.
Everyone who feels like a pedo for liking Yoko, rejoice. She was actually... well she's legal after the time skip.
