...Horrible non-fan women tempting innocent comics-reading virgins with their Pixie costumes. Now, there is a germ of truth to this based on the fact that hot
women have been used to sell every product known to mankind since
mankind ever existed. And there have been many complaints over the years
from female professionals over "booth babes" who were obviously paid
models who came to the shows to attract lonely nerds. Call it the G4
effect... and I personally don't like the Slave Leia legion because anyone who
would rather dress as a slave than a rebel commander definitely is
doing it for attention... but to brand all the women who like dressing as comic characters in
this way really shows more issues with women than anything to do with
cons or costuming...
