I just recently stumbled upon an interesting site of a girl that loves to make costumes and dress up in them. Quite a few of them are from Sci-Fi, such as The Matrix and my favorite, Star Wars. The Femtrooper costume is probably the geekiest of them all. The stereotypical male costume of the Stormtrooper is ingeniously modified to fit a woman. Of course I don’t know how exposing your stomach would hold up in a firefight against rebels, but it looks good! I wonder what Star Wars would have been like had there been Femtroopers? We might never know except in fan films. There are lots of other pictures on the SithVixen site, check them out.

Blinky, your new best friendBlinky, your new best friend
Quarreling parents, an annoying kid, and a lovable robot make this short film a fun trip into the near future. Who hasn’t wanted a robot playmate of their own? Blinky is no Robbie, but at least he tries. Check the 12 minute movie out for a treat. Be sure to go full screen and turn on HD if your connection can handle it.
—Edit— The original video was taken down for quite some time, but is back!

It looks like the original video was password protected. I found this version with Spanish subtitles.

Snowtrooper action figure
I had the opportunity to meet a couple “online” friends this past weekend. I’ve talked to these guys for several years through various online games, instant messaging, Ventrilo/TeamSpeak, and e-mail. Meeting them was a very interesting and enjoyable experience. BrainAlien, a guy I’ve known online since 1999, gave me a Snowtrooper action figure. He knows I’m a huge Star Wars fan, so I really appreciate it. If I ever find my Luke Skywalker in X-Wing suit, I’ll have to have a little battle to relive some childhood moments.
Thanks BrainAlien!
The Adjustment Bureau (2011) directed by George NolfiThe Adjustment Bureau (2011) directed by George Nolfi
After looking through my media center PC, The Adjustment Bureau happened to be the highest rated movie that I hadn’t seen in the science fiction category. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, other than a 7.1 metascore from IMDb. About 20 minutes into the film, I realized that this was probably one that my wife would enjoy. The best I could categorize this movie would be romantic science fiction.
The Adjustment Bureau starts out by following the end of a political campaign for Senate. David Norris (Matt Damon) ends up losing the election because of a leaked photo of him mooning someone at his college reunion. Seeking some privacy, he goes to the men’s restroom to prepare his speech. After a while, a woman pops out of a stall, apologizing for the intrusion. She was hiding out in the men’s room to avoid security for being a wedding crasher. They begin to exchange witty banter about her situation and his unfortunate downfall. (more…)
Does your wife know you are spending your time looking at FemTroopers? 😉
Yes, I showed her as soon as I stumbled across it. Ask her!
Where can I get one of these? They are awesome?
Check out the SithVixen site link. I’m pretty sure she made a custom one just for herself. I know there was a company in the UK making regular Stormtrooper gear, but a while back they were sued by Lucasarts 🙁
I don’t think there is any problem making one for yourself, but selling them can get you into trouble (grumble)
We have just started up a club in the UK for fem troopers (and girls from outside of the UK can know join too) – All details of where you can get a fem trooper Armour from can be found on this website, the Armour is sculptured from a set of Armour used in the actual star wars movie with alterations made to the chest area 🙂
