This looks like so much fun! Superheroes from Costume Craze did a Geddan dance. Get Down!
Head on over to their Blog to view a bunch of cool superhero photos from their video shoot.
Edit: I wanted to mention — This is Chajiko in this photo! She’s a costume guru and welcome contributor to MyDisguises. Doesn’t she look awesome as The Flash? What a fun photo.
Here are a few more costumed geddan videos. There are a ton of these on Youtube, how funny. The last video by Know Your Meme explains this odd phenomenon quite well.
If you watch all of these videos, beware: The song will be stuck in your head for days. And the only way to get it out is to make your own geddan!
College Humor recently released this funny music video parody of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ song, Empire State of Mind.
There are some great Star Wars costumes in this version, appropriately titled Galactic Empire State of Mind. Vader is on the mike, Princess Leia plays piano, and there’s dancing Ewoks, Stormtroopers and Rebel fighters.
Very funny!
Here’s the original song by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
This robot costume looks incredible! It’s a shame that it doesn’t move very well, but its maker, known as Alice and theQueen and LadyBeth, still deserves a ton of praise for a job well done.
Everyone is encouraged to come to the game in Star Wars costumes and participate in a costume contest. Their Gorilla mascot will fight a lightsaber duel. The cheerleaders will be dressed as Princess Leia, and they’re giving away one of the shirts shown above. WOW!
They are letting fans decide which shirt to give away. You can vote by emailing starwars@suns.com or by sending a tweet to @PhoenixSuns.
This sounds really fun!
In partnership with Lucasfilm, the Suns will offer a special discounted ticket package that includes an exclusive Phoenix Suns/Star Wars t-shirt (see below) and photo opportunities with classic Star Wars characters. The unique night will also feature in-game Star Wars entertainment, including a “Star Wars on Planet Orange†player introduction video, Suns Dancers in Princess Leia costumes, a Gorilla lightsaber duel and a sneak peek at an upcoming episode of the hit Cartoon Network series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Additionally, all fans attending the game are encouraged to dress like their favorite Star Wars characters for a chance to win official Star Wars merchandise. No masks or weapons will be allowed inside US Airways Center.
“This is going to be a fun night for our fans of all ages, from those who remember watching the original Star Wars film in the theaters in 1977 to those young fans who are growing up with The Clone Wars animated series today,†said Jeramie McPeek, Suns Vice President of Digital. “We are very proud to be partnering with such a strong brand, known around the world and throughout the galaxy. The Force is strong on Planet Orange.â€
Here’s a spirited news report from New Zealand. A small Auckland costume shop is facing legal trouble for renting out statues of the Oscar as costume props for parties.
I’m a bit surprised at how funny they make this story, showing clips of Oscar winners sobbing and accusing the Academy of being uptight bullies. And for some reason, the reporter makes a point of saying Jennifer Aniston can’t act.
You’d think they’d have more important things to worry about. Like the fact Jennifer Aniston really can’t act. Or the fact that so many of their blockbusters feel lame, tired and predictable. But no, the academy is seriously worried about eight statues of Oscar, on the other side of the world.
A school principal in Lacey, Washington wore a tutu to school after losing a bet. He promised his students that he would wear a tutu if the school could raise $3,000. I guess they really wanted to see him in a tutu, because the school raised almost $3,500.
True to his word, Randy Weeks donned a tutu and tiara and strutted around his campus. Here he is in all his glory.
What a principal! I bet the kids got a huge laugh out of this, and it’s great that they raised all of that money.
LOL, it’s a real life Meg Griffin from Family Guy!
Great looking cosplay, but I’m not 100% sure it’s intentional. I kind of get the feeling that someone found that photo and said, “Hey she looks like Meg from Family Guy.”
So, to the woman in this photo: Great costume! And if it’s all a big misunderstanding… Sorry?
Here’s an interesting look into the costumes of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood talks about how the costumes were designed and shows some cool concept art and a bit of behind-the-scenes footage from the movie.
Photographer Jesse Freidin wanted to toast 3 things: Dogs, Lady Gaga and old Polaroid film. So, using “two of the last remaining packs of Polaroid film in the world,” he dressed up dogs as Lady Gaga and the Doggie Gaga Project was born!
How funny. This might even be cooler than the Gaga Barbie dolls, it’s a close call. Don’t you just love the Internet?
Calling on his most creative friends to visit craft stores and design outfits, Freidin says the project was a great group effort. “We brought our dogs together, and decided which dogs would do best with which costumes, what costumes personified our dogs, and what each dog could sit through,” he explains.
Drawing inspiration from his love of Polaroid film — “it’s kind of like gold to me,” he says — Freidin photographed the dogs quite quickly. “I set up the camera, then the dog, and each sat for maybe 10 minutes,” he explains. “I got about three different shots per dog, and that was it.” Each dog who got the paparazzi treatment was copiously rewarded with treats, too.
