25 Cosplay Babes of Dragon*Con 2009

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.
