I ended up going back for a few hours today since my wife got a tattoo done and I had some time to kill, and I grabbed a few more pics.  So I thought I'd share...

For Steel....

And hot Jedi/Sith chicks for anyone who likes. . . women.

And she just about makes me want to play Final Fantasy VII all over again.

How do the spaceballs team decide on who gets to be Darth Helmet? Surely its an impossible argument?

Everybody wants to be him.

You really want to know?  Well screw it, even if you wanted to be smarmy you're getting a real answer.  So sit back and enjoy the edu-tainment.

Basically it comes down to two things.

1.  Who organized the group. Odds are the group organzier is Darth Helmet here. He's the guy that made his costume and got some friends or other attention seekers to make Spaceball costumes to go along with it. Since it was his idea he gets to do Darth Helmet.

2.  Matter of cost. Those Spaceball costumes probably run around $100 which for a costume isn't too much. It's basically just boots, black shirt, and a white worksuit. The only real difficult piece is the helmet, but my guess is it's actually pretty easy to do, it's just a matter of finding what the helmet is actually for. It's probably for a street lamp or something that could be found at a hardware store, and after a few simple adjustments - BOOM - it becomes a helmet.

That Darth Helmet costume on the other hand probably would cost around $300 to $400 to make.  That outfit, except for the gloves is all hand made. That takes either skill or money to do. And I can't even begin to figure out how the helmet was done. That costume took talent and/or money to make. And not everyone has that to pony up.

I want to know what Dark Robio went as.

My guess is nude and erect.

Yeah she's hot, but sadly possibly the most asexual creature I've ever met.

Weird. It's not the most asexual clothing or posing even.

Night elf looks pretty good.

And what are you actually holding in your hand there robio?

She worked a while as kind of a goth and fetish (though not the kinky kind of fetishes) model for a while when she was younger so she knows what looks good and what she's doing. I'm referring more to her personally though. She normally dresses very conservatively and I don't think I've heard her mention more than a sentence or two about relationships or guys (or even girls) that she's attracted to. She's basically what happens when a girl grows up most of her life as a complete geek and then blossoms much much later in life.

And as far as what I was holding it's a plastic gun that I painted.  Not the best shot of it, but unfortunately not too many good shots were taken of me holding it.

I'm getting a Pokemon vibe here, so I'm thinking either one of the trainers or possibly a "sexy human version" of an actual Pokemon since there's a sub-community out there that likes to do that. I'm sure we all remember Jessie Nigri's Pikachu costume from last year's Comicon that got way more attention than it deserved:

The costume really only consists of a mis-worn belt and phallus-hat.

How can anyone resist the temptation to touch that ass? And would a court then find you guilty of sexual harassment?
