Spectacular Hand-Painted Doctor Who Shoes

June 17, 2013 — Leave a comment

It is rather unfortunate that the styles of shoes I tend to buy from my favorite shoe manufacturer (New Balance) don’t lend themselves to being painted or really customized in any way.  I appreciate that the mesh they use allows my foot to breath but you can’t really customize it and it lets liquid through like its not even there which can be very annoying.  However, for those that like to customize their shoes, there seems to be no better shoe to do that than with some Chuck Taylor All Stars by Converse.

In the past, I have posted some pretty cool hand-painted Doctor Who shoes like the amazing 10th and 11th Doctor sneakers and the TARDIS chucks however, I think the Doctor Who shoes below might be my favorite pair of Doctor Who shoes.

Etsy seller is selling these hand-painted Doctor Who sneakers featuring the TARDIS and a Dalek for just $64.45.  That is half the price of my shoes and my shoes aren’t even this cool!

Although these are the standard shoes they make, if you want other Doctor Who icons painted on there, they will do them by request so if you want a Weeping Angel and K-9 instead of a TARDIS and Dalek, make sure to let them know when you order!

Legend of Zelda Triforce Bracelet [pic]

June 12, 2013 — Leave a comment

Ever since I quit wearing a watch, haven’t been one for wearing anything around my wrists.  While I don’t mind wearing something around my wrist, one of the many reasons I stopped wearing a watch was because I didn’t like it plucking at the hair on my arms (I wore it kind of high on my arm because I liked it tight so it wouldn’t flop around) which means the bracelet below would definitely not be for me since it looks like it would be worse than my watch in that respect.  However, as a big Zelda fan, I really love this bracelet!

Etsy seller ShinyThingsbyOrin is selling this Legend of Zelda inspired Pillars of the Triforce bracelet for just $40.  While it may not be right for me because of my arm hair pluckage issues, I think that one of you needs to be the proud owner of this awesome Triforce bracelet!

I know guys don’t normally wear stuff like this but I think even some Zelda loving guys could pull this off.

This Star Wars T-Shirt Has The Droids You Are Looking For [pic]

June 10, 2013 — Leave a comment

It never ceases to amaze me how often I find somebody I have geeky passion in common with simply because of whatever geeky t-shirt I am wearing at the time.  I find that geeky clothing items whether it is a shirt or hat or whatever, seems to be the perfect conversation starter.  Well, if you are looking to start up a conversation with random Star Wars fans, I have found the droids you are looking for!

The cool folks over at BustedTees are selling this Star Wars inspired Daft Droids shirt for just $20.  Whether you love R2-D2 or C-3PO more, it doesn’t really matter because you get the best of both worlds with this t-shirt!

These truly are the droids you are looking for!  If you don’t believe me, just read the shirt because it even says so.

Wait a second, why wouldn’t you believe me?  Have I lied to you in the past?  Of course not!  Now listen to the Force and go order this shirt.

Portal 2 Companion Cube Panties [pic]

June 6, 2013 — Leave a comment

It seems like I know more women that love the Portal games than I do men (I only played a couple hours of the first one) so I thought I would post about these awesome Companion Cube panties I came across that I am sure many female Portal fans will fall in love with.

The cool geeks over at ThinkGeek are selling this sweet pair of Portal 2 Companion Cube panties for just $12.99!  They are 95% cotton, 5% spandex and 100% cake.  And the cake is a lie.  There are also a range of sizes available so I’m sure you can find something that fits you perfectly.

I have to admit, I am kind of jealous that there isn’t a pair of these for guys because I think these are pretty cool.  I’d probably get flak for wearing them but I’m not sure I really care.  I suppose I could still order a pair of these for myself but then I would be one of those guys that wears women’s underwear and people think I am weird enough as it is, I don’t think I need to add cross dressing to the list.

Victorian Style Darth Vader Cosplay [pics]

June 4, 2013 — Leave a comment

Perhaps it is just me but it seems like Darth Vader is some of the most overdone cosplay out there these days.  I understand why everybody wants to dress up like Darth Vader and I have even done it myself but it feels like it has become so common that it isn’t special anymore.  However, there are rare exceptions like the one below where a great deal of originality went into the Darth Vader cosplay.

A cosplayer going by the name May B. created this really cool Victorian style Darth Vader cosplay.  Apparently the style was inspired by Victorian mourning gowns.  I think the combination of Darth Vader and a Victorian mourning gown actually goes together quite well although my favorite part is definitely the mask.

However, I am not sure if this could be considered a steampunk Darth Vader.  I know the steampunk style is a Victorian style but I’m not sure if this qualifies so if anybody knows or has an opinion, please leave it in the comments below!

Spectacular Skyrim High Elf Cosplay [pics]

May 30, 2013 — Leave a comment

It has been a while since I have played Skyrim (I never went back and finished it some reason so maybe that is what I will do this weekend), but I still enjoy seeing some great Skyrim cosplay.  In the past, I have posted a bunch of great Skyrim cosplay including an award-winning Karliah cosplay, some incredible Daedirc cosplay and even some rather sexy Dovahkiin cosplay.  Well, now we can add a female High Elf to that list of fantastic Skyrim cosplay posts.

This stunning Skyrim female High Elf cosplay was done by Jenifer Ann and photographed by Brian Moilanen.  The pictures were taken around Jacksonville, FL and the costume was made entirely by hand with the faux armor being made of craft foam, metallic paint and gems.

I think this Skyrim cosplay is amazing but I don’t think I would want to see it in person.  There is just something creepy about the eyes that would have me running the opposite direction in fear for my life.  I think it is a hot look, just a bit creepy.

Attention Zelda Fans! This Cool ‘LNK’ T-Shirt is $11 Today Only!

May 29, 2013 — Leave a comment

Like most gamers, especially those around my age, I am a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda games.  I even carry a Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess wallet and occasionally wear one of a couple Legend of Zelda hats that I have.  I have Zelda shirts too but not very many although after today, I am going to have one more!

The super cool geeks over at TeeFury are selling this ‘LNK’ shirt for just $11 today only!  This cool shirt design featuring what vaguely resembles a Game Boy holding a master sword, a shield with the classic Zelda heart icon on it and playing a Zelda style game was created by Drew Wise.

If you are a big Legend of Zelda or Game Boy fan like I am and think this design is pretty cool, I suggest you stop what you are doing and go order the shirt now before it is gone!  Remember, it is available today only (technically you can get it for a few hours tomorrow but at a higher price)!

Stunning Super Mario Bros Tattoo [pics]

May 28, 2013 — Leave a comment

Most people don’t know this little fact about me, but I used to be utterly repulsed by tattoos of any kind regardless of where they were on the body or how big they were.

I always used to prefer the look of plain skin to tattoos of whatever and to an extent that is still true.  However, I think part of my original dislike of tattoos was that I has just never seen any that were really well done (I guess the tattoo artists and prison inmates in my area suck at doing decent looking tattoos).  It wasn’t until I went to a local sci-fi convention and saw a women with an an incredibly well done Spock tattoo on one shoulder blade and an equally good looking Picard tattoo on the other that I realized they could actually be pretty cool.  Now I have come to really enjoy them (assuming they are well done).

Well, speaking of tattoos that are well done, I think this Super Mario Bros tattoo on this persons leg has to be one of if not the best Mario tattoos I have ever seen!  The color is perhaps the best I have seen on ANY tattoo as well!

Unfortunately, I don’t know who this leg belongs to or who the tattoo artist was that inked this work of gaming art so if you know who they are, please let me know in the comments below so we can give them credit!

This Super Mario Haircut is Amazing [pic]

May 27, 2013 — Leave a comment

I know a lot of people with great looking hair but its not very often that they do something with it that just makes my jaw drop.  I think the last time that happened was when I woman I knew just decided to shave her head.  Well, speaking of shaved heads, one Super Mario Bros fan decided to get what is perhaps the coolest haircut I have ever seen and what I am going to name the Mario.

Sadly, I don’t know who this guy is or who their barber is to give them credit as I just saw this come across my Facebook feed last week so if you know who this guy is or who did this haircut, please let us know in the comments below!

I normally keep my hair really shirt (just a hair longer than this guy) and I would love to have a Mario haircut but I don’t think my barber has the skills to pull this off.  I would love to sport a Mario haircut though!

I’m curious how long it took to make this and how much it cost?  So many questions, so few answers!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Stormtrooper Cosplay [pic]

May 24, 2013 — 2 Comments

It is always kind of weird to see people do mash-up cosplay.  I can’t think of a case where I haven’t enjoyed it but it just kind of odd to see people combine completely unrelated things and then turn it into an amazing costume.  I really admire people with the creativity required to do something like that and the ability to execute the idea and turn it into something that looks really cool.

Speaking of cool mash-up cosplay, this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Stormtrooper cosplay was spotted at the 2013 Ottawa Comic Con.  I’m not sure who this cosplayer is to give them credit of the unique idea so if anybody knows who this is, please let me know in the comments below so we can give them credit!  Speaking of giving credit, this great picture was taken by cmbdphotography.

Have you ever created any cool mash-up cosplay?  Tell us about it in the comments below!
