From Wikipedia:
The term cosplay represents a contraction of the English words costume play. The term was coined by Nov Takahashi of the Japanese studio Studio Hard while attending the 1984 Los Angeles Science Fiction Worldcon.[2] He was impressed by the hall and the costumed fans and reported on both in Japanese science fiction magazines.

This guy is the best cardboard/hotglue prop and costume builder I've ever seen. Check out his galleries. His Dr. Doom helmet is movie quality! Look at his big Gundam suit. Isn't that insane? look at how intricate his stuff is. Amazing!

Welcome to the Rocketpage©, dedicated to Republic Pictures' trio of high-flying heroes; Rocketman, Commando Cody and Larry Martin. Appearing in three serials, a television show and re-edited features, the character marked the last decent offering by the studio as increasing production costs and the influence of television on movie patrons brought the serial era to an end. The Rocketpage© offers character background, photos and other rocket-trivia. Return now to the days when good guys never lost their fedoras and bad guys smoked unfiltered cigarettes.

My friend Nancy Hayssen has just appeared on "The Insider" segment of "Entertainment Tonight." They covered her recent nude photo shoot in response to the Italian ad cmpaign featuring a nude anorexic model.
Nancy and I are in talks to develop a Plus Sized pin-up calendar ala Petty and Vargas. She'll handle the photo shoot on her end, then I'll turn those pictures into vintage WWII bomber nose art. I can't wait to tackle those iconic images!
