Beginning March 1st, Neon Genesis Evangelion fans will be able to indulge their obsession with a stay at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park in Japan. Rooms in the park's newest hotel will feature a plug-shaped bed where guests can watch movies lying down, wake up calls in Rei Ayanami's voice, decor featuring blacklight wall graphics, and heaps of Evangelion artwork. Prices will start at about $450 per night.

Cosplay Fail: CyberMan Swimsuit

A competitor wearing a Doctor Who Cybermen cap competes in the UK Cold Water Swimming Championships at the Tooting Bec lido in London.

Wow, talk about cosplay fail. I’m kind of greatful we can’t see what he’s wearing down below. Run Doctor Who, Run!

Can we all just agree that the answer to this question is, "hand her off to someone who can appreciate her?"

Seriously Creepy Batgirl



Something about this cosplayer's mask just strikes me as terribly creepy.  I think it's supposed to be Cassandra Cain as Batgirl.  I only caught on after I found the photo below the cut, which was more clearly labeled.  Check out the rest of the Dangerousladies gallery for some seriously quality cosplay.

Cosplayer: Emmy

Ame-Comi Wonder Woman


It's always nice to see someone trying an interesting variation on an old standard.  In this case, I'd have to say that this Ame-Comi version is a significant improvement over the norm - maybe because Wonder Woman has always been among the hardest costumes to pull off to begin with.  I wish that DC would do a quality anime version of Justice League with a Wonder Woman who looked like this.

Kids: Baby in a Tardis

Baby’s first TARDIS (Via)

Over at the blog Mateo and Me, Jennifer posted pictures of the TARDIS that Mateo's graphic designer father made for him for his birthday. Mateo's dad made it out of corrugated cardboard, which is what he works in.
