Girls in Costumes
August 17th 2007 -
CBR News writes an article trying to dispel the myths about women who show up to cons in costume: http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11647
I like that the article focuses on the fact that these women are actually comic book fans, and that some of them have put a lot of work into making their costumes. As someone who has spent hours hunched over obnoxious fabric in order to hand sew a costume (sheer fabric deserves to die a slow painful death), I can definitely appreciate these women’s hard work getting acknowledged.
But…doesn’t the article seem to focus a bit on women who are conventionally attractive? I don’t know, what do you guys think?
