Are you worried about the Swine Flu? It seems that a lot of people are.

Here are a few photos of people trying to protect themselves — in style.

BRIDEZILLA!

Hehe, awesome!

It looks like she might be wearing these plush Godzilla feet, Available Here.

Thanks to Bonniegrrl for the tip.

Here’s an interesting look at a modern spacesuit design, created by MIT aerospace engineer Dava Newman. Instead of the bulky and cumbersome “diving bell” suit usually associated with astronauts, Newman’s design looks like tight fitting spandex which allow for greater mobility.

Very interesting!

Here’s a silly costume video for a Friday afternoon.

Someone in a big bear costume scares people at the mall, and hilarity ensues. And wow, that bear takes quite a beating, lol.

Here’s a look at an unusual line of fashion from designer Giles Deacon. In a tribute to the popular 80’s video game, his models walk the runway wearing Pac Man clothing and helmets. Cool! And very bizarre.

A zombie princess, awesome!

I stumbled onto this list of Strange Children’s costumes. The costumes are definitely strange. I think “Alien Baby” wins the prize, LOL.

Wow, Bonniegrrl just made my day by posting this video on Twitter.

This is incredible! Perfect for a Friday afternoon. LOL, I’m not so sure about Donnie as Luke, but I think Marie makes a great Leia.

Thanks, Bonniegrrl - this video is beyond awesome.

Aww, look at this cute kid. He’s the strongest man in the world!

Here’s a look at some creative costuming. The Meowmaidz, a combination of Lolcats and mermaids. These pictures were taken last year at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade.

“We are teh meowmaidz,” lol, well done!

This Costume Dancing video just popped up on Youtube today, from last weekend’s AdventureCon in Knoxville, TN.

How can you watch this video and not smile? The music is faint but it sounds like they’re dancing to “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees. Ah, good times.

This video makes me a bit speechless. I have no idea where this is from or when it was made. It certainly looks old, though.

Here we have Superman about to attempt suicide by drowning himself with an anchor - because he’s just a freak. Fortunately, a couple of hippies come along and help him understand that it’s COOL to be a freak.

So, so very bizarre. Thanks (sort of) to Dolphin for the tip!

Are you good at coming up with captions for random photos? If so, you might want to head over to Buffet o’ Blog - they’re running a Caption Contest. This week’s theme is Weird Robot Costumes. Awesome!

I think the contest is just for fun, you won’t win money or anything. But spreading smiles and laughter is reward enough, don’t you think?
