REAL LIFE DAPHNE THONGS FROM THE 80s YO.

If for some reason that links back to the homepage, it's http://www.bikiniscience.com/ --> costumes --> culotte --> sideless --> (sideless engineering)ZX3KC6BS and RD8708C.

Not to mention the women are mo'fcking scary too.


It would appear that someone at bikiniscience didn't realize that models are supposed to be good looking. And for females, looking like a man is a bad thing.

I think the first one IS a man. The second one isn't so bad as she at least is obviously a female.

But really, who would actually wear one of those things in public?

Yeah, scary indeed. Shocked

Dug those models from the bottom of the barrel, don't you think?

And yeah, those thongs are just... weird.

either i would go blind or i would never go to beaches again....

I live on the coast let i haven't been to the beach in a long time....

maybe it's because Northern Californian beaches are too cold... (nope.. no white sand, warm water, etc.)

those look painful/uncomfortable too....

I was also somewhat traumatized by those "pasties" that some of the other pictures had (esp under the Mermaid Parade chunks). I've seen girls cosplay wearing those too-- totally topless except for a bandaid across a nipple or something.

Sure, technically they're not topless, and if they're good looking enough than guys won't mind at all, but come on girls, have some freaking dignity!! Parading around in public half-nude with stickers on your nipples *still* makes you a slut.

*waits for a pastie-wearing cosplayer to snap her head off about being "proud of your body(tm)!"*

i've heard the ending to scrapped Princess is terrible, and that's been enough to keep me away from this show.


Really? On the contrary, I think it has one of the best endings I've ever seen in anime, in that it actually RESOLVES various storylines (whereas most anime just end abruptly, or don't wrap up loose ends).

SutePuri is one of my favorite anime, not only because of the great character development, but because it also has an interesting plot (which might have been stolen from a certain high-grossing 1999 film). It is not just a cookie-cutter show about a girl who makes friends along her journey. For a hint at what's coming, rewatch the first ten seconds of episode one.

That, and Shannon's fight scenes are just awesome, especially as you get closer to the end of the series. Smile



Dang it, I'm supposed to be a movie buff......

What "High grossing movie from 1999"? The Matrix??

I was on Animerica's cosplay page and I saw something close to that. Rolling Eyes Makes me almost scared to go to a con. (If there ever is one around here.)

The film in question spoiler[ is indeed The Matrix. Think about it: The show takes place in a "created" world that imprisons what's left of the human race, ruled more or less electronically by a group of machines. A prophecy is made concerning one who will destroy this artificial world. She is hounded by her mechanical enemies, but is protected by a dedicated man and woman who believe in her. On the fateful day, she is killed -- but then comes back to life, thereby saving said world from rule by the alien machines. Sound familiar to anyone else? Of course, it wasn't a completely original premise to begin with -- The Matrix itself borrowed heavily from other sources, including the life of Christ -- but the similarities are certainly there.]

I know I'm not the only one to think this way; the sheer number of movie-trailer AMVs second the opinion. Smile
