Geeks On A Mission Of Love

  Let me explain the title, this is really about what people are willing to do for the thing that they love and I mean fictitious heroes. This is also about what the geeks and nerds will do to pretend that they are their imaginary heroes...like this dude who made his own functional Batman costume.......(almost jealous).
College Student Makes His Own Fully Functional Batman Suit


This is one step above your typical Captain America t-shirt bought at Walmart with a stocking face mask. Yet this has been a trend since the 1990's and a growing business for artists and inventors who figure out how to make this science from comics come to life. This is not unlike what happened with the Jules Vern classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, since this book was written before submarines were an ordinary concept and people had just gotten over the fact that the earth was not flat and you could not fall over the edge.
  Guess it is also good to know that if you want to a be Transformer you can! For $330 you can have this highly detailed creation from BuyCostumes.com and be the envy of the three people you attend all the comic con's with.


  The industry also has the same quality of fantasy clothing for women....

Star Wars Stormtrooper Adult Costume

See I knew Storm Troopers where really blond robo cops gone wrong and made this a classy photo shoot by making the model wear platform heels.

  But if you are more of a die hard DIY kind of person then this link will make your heart melt:

DIY Iron Man Suit

And here I thought that the Mona Lisa took some time to create....all hail the mighty re-constructionist! I am in awe of the time spent to figure this 3-D puzzle out.

Then of course there are those who I personally know and they are also in love with anime...

All of this work almost makes my past efforts look minuscule by comparison....

Guess some people are just more into playing pretend than others.
