The plus side to having everyone dress in elaborate costumes for an extended weekend is that it gives the fairer of the genders a reason to adopt the likenesses of their favorite fictional characters — even if that means causing them to go half naked and/or require the application of mass body paint.
I’m not going to lie to you folks. Dragon*Con has the most gorgeous scenery in all of Georgia and this was probably the most enjoyable thing I’ve covered for the site in a long time.
Geek photographer Derek Deweese (dwrd.net) would definitely agree with me as he managed to meet several beautiful women (shown below) using perhaps the best excuse ever: “Uhh, hi. I’m with Geeks of Doom, can I take your picture?”
Sweet and bountiful Lord have mercy, I’m glad they all said yes. Check out images of 25 cosplay babes from this year’s Dragon*Con.
[Alternately, be sure to check out Derek's personal site, dwrd.net, for more Dragon*Con visuals]
I count 31, discounting the duplicates.
In this case, when the journalist sucks at math, everyone benefits.
The girl identified as “Mary Marvel” actually looks like she’s dressed as Electro-Woman.
Would have loved to be a sponge at Dragoncon when that Darth Maul chick was getting into costume… just sayin…

Good call, Vincent. I believe you’re right. It’s been updated to reflect that.
I love our readers! =)
Wow, a lot of these are crappily labeled. I question the geek-status of whoever made this post. “Steampunk Babe”? Really?
@PJ
Steampunk Babe? Ya rly.
…I hate our readers. =P

I’ve seen better cosplays from jessienigri.com
Babes is a quite accurate term, as one of the Steampunk girls is only like 14 or 15….
