15 Kick-Ass Lady Cosplayers At New York Comic-Con

While putting together my Halloween inspiration board for Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen (from “Game of Thrones”) I developed a serious appreciation for cosplayers. “Cosplay,” for those of you who don’t know, is short for “costume play.” Cosplayers dress up as their favorite characters from various sci-fi series, comic books, movies, etc. and they really bring it for events like Comic-Con New York, which took place this past weekend. It just so happens that I also recent read the super funny and smart book Geek Girls Unite by Leslie Simon, and in it, she pays tribute to girl geeks who get down at comic conventions, including those cool chicks who do cosplay. Here are 15 (okay, 14 plus one cross-dressing dude) who knocked it out of the park at NY Comic-Con 2011.

Kristen Stewart talks at the Comic-Con panel for “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” about the most highly anticipated moment in the flick, the wedding scene. (Well, perhaps the sex scene is just as anticipated, as parts of it have been leaked online.) It’s so crazy that her wedding dress has been guarded like a state secret. At least we know how her hair will look? [People]

People can’t stop asking Kristen about the wedding scene at Comic-Con. Another quote after the jump. Keep reading »

Sarah Michelle Gellar Times Two In “Ringer”

Comic-Con 2011 kicks off today with panels for “Breaking Dawn,” “Game of Thrones,” “Dexter,” and much more. But perhaps the most anticipated panel of the day will be for Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s return to network television, “Ringer.” The panel will be going down at 1:45 p.m., but The CW has released the first poster for the show this morning. Almost as exciting as the fact that the show stars Buffy as two characters? Nester Carbonell, aka Richard Alpert of “Lost,” is in it too! Hawt. Keep reading »
