I'm missing Comic Con this year. I'm slowly coming to grips with that very sad fact - partially because our own Jo will be bringing us constant updates from the convention - but word of a "Princess Leia Metal Bikini Group Shot" makes it all that much harder to move on.
Why? Why do I have to miss oodles of gorgeous geek girls dressed up the geek equivelant of that Farrah Fawcett [rip] pinup gear? The gurus of comic con have even very wisely barred men from participating, virtually guarantee a minimal ick factor. Oh well, at least Jo will be there with camera in hand to capture the copper and flesh cornicopia for us.
For those attending, the Princess Leia Metal Bikini group shoot will be at 12pm noon on Friday at the gentle giant booth in Dealer's hall.
Thank the maker for Jamin's site www.leiasmetalbikini.com, which has multiple group shots, model galleries, and even instructions for making your own Leia-kini. Here is a little bit of what they have to offer:
Okay, picture 12 is just freaky!

Don't be too bummed – Jabba's not even going to BE there this year, he's being used to shoot a movie. How do I know this? I'm a wedding planner and officiant, and I really want to perform a wedding at Comicon this year, so you know, I called Gentle Giant to see if I could marry a couple in front of Jabba. And, no Jabba. But, hey, I'm still looking for a couple to marry at the Con. I can walk them through getting their license beforehand, and they would already have to have tickets because it's sold out. Let me know if you know anyone.
