Thursday Threads - Geeky Swimwear

It's the middle of the summer and time is short for new swimwear, but sometimes you just need to own a new bathing suit for that upcoming beach party or day by the pool, or, you know, just to lounge around the house in when the air conditioner isn't working.

I mean, you could do that in a regular bathing suit, but wouldn't it be better if you could cosplay while you lounge?

Here are the best of the new swimwear collections that I could find

Pinup Girl Clothing

Strut your stuff as these DC Superheros and Villains

Poprageous

or relax as your favorite droid, bounty hunter or slave princess

Thinkgeek

Beam me up, Hottie!

loving that these have a high back strap for serious swimming

Chose your space adventure with these N7 and SW space battle bikinis!

So, where will you let your swimsuit cosplay take you?

Thanks to The Kessel Runway for always being a geeky fashion go-to

Thursday Threads - DC Bombshells

I love the DC Bombshell line. But other than posters and pint-glasses, these images have really only been showing up on Men's t-shirts. Well, not anymore. Thanks to Hot Topic, you too can cosplay and swim to your heart's content in these amazing costume bikinis

Wonder Woman

Batwoman

Poison Ivy

Harley Quinn

  

The Joker

Okay, okay, so the Joker doesn't really fit in with the Bombshells, but seriously, how cute is this bikini?

For me, I want the Wonder Woman one or the Harley one or... well, really any of them.

And if you're worried about not having a bikini body, here's a great tip for you!

Geeky Cosplay Underwear and Bathing Suits

I love cosplaying. But there are only a few times a year that I actually get away with it; Halloween, Fan Expo... um... that's about it.

Maybe you don't feel confident enough to cosplay but still want to have some costume pride.

Perhaps Disney Bounding just isn't enough.

Maybe you're like me and you want to get into Nerdlesque.

If any of the above describes you, these underwear might be for you

Feel like a Princess with these Disney underwear sets

These sets are really nice. They're elegant enough to make you feel sexy, but also cute and fun and geeky.

Sadly, I don't know where to get them other than in Japan, but you can give it your best shot here. Hopefully you have better luck with translations than I did.

With the upcoming Sailor Moon Reboot (YAY!), a lot of new merchandise is coming back on the market (also YAY!) including these amazing underwear sets!

Although the collars and bows might hinder wearing them with some outfits, I'm not sure I would care. I would still wear these everywhere. 

For a less cosplay look, they also have these more normal looking panties and sets.

Like the Disney ones above, so far these are only available in Japan through Peach John.
The other problem with these only being available in Japan, is that fact that they only come in Japanese sizing. That means no matter how much I want them, even if I got a pair I'd never be able to fit into them. Sigh... Guess I'll have to make my own. And when I do, I'm going to dance around in them like these girls are.

For those of you who are curious, yes, that is the new version of the Sailor Moon opeining song that will be used for the new cartoon.

I've featured geeky bathing suites on here before and thought I would add these great Star Wars (and Nintendo) bathing suites from Nerd Meets Girl to the ever growing selection.

Oh course I love them all, but I think the Darth Maul one is my favourite. I always find this style to be a little off putting though. These wouldn't give very much cover if you were actually gfoing to use them for swimming. They are, however, perfect for Nerlesque.

So, what do you think of these hidden cosplay gems? Drop me a line and let me know what you'd wear them for.

Thanks to Geekologie  for loving sexy nerdy ladies.

Harley Quinn Bathing Suit

Oh geeky bathing suits, how I love thee!

I've been thinking about geeky bathing suits for along time, seems I'm not the only one.

Meet Pyro-The-Maniac, a deviantart user who has not only come up with the idea of geeky bathingsuits, but has actually made one!

Oh yes, a Harley Quinn bikini!!! How awesome is that?

Not only is she cool enough to have made her own swimsuit (and look amazing in it), but she's also a kick-ass cosplayer.

You can check out her album here.

My personal favorite (besides the awesome bikini) is Ash from Evil Dead!!

Thanks to Fashionably Geek for bringing this to my attention

C-3PO Bathing Suit Added To The Roster

I'm sure you all remember the R2-D2 and Vader bathing suits from my previous post.

Well, I guess they went over so well that Black Milk decided to make our other favorite droid into a bathing suit.

No, not IG-88, C-3PO!

You don't need to hear the odds of you looking smokin' hot in this bathing suit

Perhaps being called Goldenrod isn't such a bad thing

Damn, I never thought I'd have to choose between which droid I'd want to be.

What do you think? Would you rather be/see a girl in a R2 or 3PO bathing suite?
