Alodia as the Baroness

This came up in Alodia's feed on Facebook, which I must say is a cosplay subject I wasn't expecting.

There are more images on Flickr.

Hot Shots 2013

I have the calendar hanging in my office.  Hell yeah.

The videos are amusing, though, because the models are quite different when not 'shopped.  And personality counts too, right?

There's a behind the scenes video as well as three other mini-interviews with two models each: Rosie Jones & India Reynolds, Kelly Hall & Sam Cooke, and Holly Peers & Emily O'Hara.

[Links NSFW] I have to say that Kelly Hall (!) looks the best non-pinup, and has the least obtrusive accent!  Followed by perhaps Emily O'Hara (!) and India Reynolds (!).

Edit [2013.06.29]: Rosie Jones isn't bad after all.  Must've been her makeup in the above YT video.

Hot Shots

Tasty (store).  The playing cards will be good for SHTF.

Vampy

Linda Le, aka "Vampy", is a goddess.  99.9% of the cosplayers I'd ever seen at the couple of cons I'd been to were just freaky.  Vampy isn't just smokin' hot, she's also detailed and dedicated to the art of reconstructing anime/manga fantasy in real life.  Very cool.  Plus, she likes guns: she shoots a Kimber 1911 Custom.  I am definitely a fan.

I mean, just look at her!

黒木メイサ

今朝俺は風邪気味だったんで仕事を休んだ。で、テレビジャパンを流していたらトーク番組で女優がインタビューされていて黒木メイサという人で、嫁によると銃が大好きな女性だと言う。でもエアソフトガンしか撃ったことなくて本物を撃ちたくてしようがないらしい。嫁が嵐のトーク番組で知ったそうだ。こっちに誘ってあげようかな。女性と銃の組み合わせは最高だぞ！

Pin-Ups

It must've been via View from the Porch that I came across Pin-Ups for Vets.  There isn't much info on the lady running the charity, Gina Elise, but I do like those old-style pin-up photos.  Occasional Dillon model Cathy Rankin (featured in the Blue Press) also has her own similar calendar.  I rather prefer brunettes, myself.

Girls w/ Guns Pix

There are a few girls with guns pix on ReyTrajano.com, found via a calguns link.

Jessica Abbate

A post on arfcom turned me on to this gun girl, who's on Team Glock. Of course she'd have to have a champion shooter hubby.

Well, I'm going to have to set the daughter on the path to being a world-class shooter. I'd better improve my own skills first, though....
