Humans disgust me. Vile creatures.
Reminds me, pro wrestler AJ Lee once dressed up as Kitana for a Halloween episode.



And then she actually tried to do the fan levitation during a match.

You know, I think this lady looks like a more accurate Jade than the games depict her. She actually looks physically capable of tearing a human being in half.

To be honest Jade was always a cut price Mileena or Kitana to me.

Costumes that add to other people's costumes are great, here's a couple that did a similar thing to all the Batmans they found:

She turned pro at age 16 (in 2009), drat. She's also a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so I suppose she really could rip people in half.

I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do too. It's really more of a sport than a practical means of self defense. It's a fun sport and a killer workout, though. There's women out there who can legitimately kick my rear end.

I did not know that, I figured it was a karate fighting form/style. I learned something today from The Cosplay Photos Thread. :v:

They are. Not practical because you leave yourself open, but doing them is pretty cool. You get more points in sparring if you manage to hit someone with a jump spin kick.

Just yesterday I watched The Foot Fist Way. I'm sure you must have seen it; what did you think of it? I thought it was funny, in a low-key, "Napoleon Dynamite" kinda way.

It's a bit of both, but it leans heavily on the sport since tournament sparring is a major thing and as mentioned you get more points for the more show-y stuff. You're not going to be going and delivering snapkicks to someone's chin in a real fight or in self-defense.

Now, a proper sidekick to an opponent's knee? That's different.

Low effort would be, didn't make it and/or spent money to get someone else to do poo poo for me. Bikini's would be part of this. So would completely store bought.

Ho boooooy.

She hand made, the, entire, god, damned, thing. Holy poo poo what a constructive chick.
"and hot crit" poo poo..... grrrr.......

The outfit, in context, is wonderful. That wig is hot poo poo. Lelo didn't have dreds, she didn't have coils.

over muse that poo poo until it becomes strands, it's not dreds.
