The idea of living within Rapture sounds like a cool enough idea up until all hell breaks loose and you’ve turned yourself into an Adam addict, right? Unfortunately for Australia, it looks as though Little Sisters are invading one of their local larger aquariums and it’s only a matter of time until their Big Daddy’s show up to protect them.

In what I consider to be a very cool fashion shoot, 2K Games fan, Bianca, has brought their mischievous little icon to the real world in the form of cosplay. While not everyone is a fan of cosplaying, it goes without saying that this shoot is one for the ages. Just make sure you don’t mess with her, I heard her Big Sister is worse than her Daddy, oddly enough. The photos themselves were taken by Chris Pavlich.

The couple, who are tipped to win gold at next month’s winter Olympics, wear skin-toned suits with red loin cloths, white body paint and eucalyptus leaves. But experts in Australia say Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin’s movements and body decorations bear no resemblance to that of the Aborigines’ 60,000 year old culture.

“They have got the whole thing wrong,” said Stephen Page, artistic director of the respected indigenous group, the Bangarra Dance Company. Mr Page said the two and half minute routine’s didgeridoo music sounded more like it came from India or Africa.

He added that the body paint looked like “a three-year-old child had drawn it on”. Indigenous leader Bev Manton, of the New South Wales Land Council, said Aboriginal people were rightly sensitive about the appropriation of their cultural heritage. She told the Sydney Morning Herald: “I am offended by the performance and so are our other councillors.”

Domnina and Shabalin have defended their routine, which proved a hit with the crowd at the European championships in Estonia.

“Our coach offered us this music and we decided to try it. We researched it on the internet and got a lot of information,” explained 27-year-old Shabalin. “It wasn’t our purpose that it be especially Australian, just a dance from many thousands of years ago.”

Contestant 1: Superwoman

sexy-halloween-costume-idea-super-girl

Super Girl / Lois Lane (Superwoman) — The first comic to feature a female counterpart to Superman is “Lois Lane – Superwoman,” a story published in Action Comics #60 (May 1943), in which a hospitalized Lois Lane dreams she has gained superpowers thanks to a blood transfusion from the Man of Steel. She begins her own career as Superwoman, complete with copycat costume. Similar stories with Lois Lane acquiring superpowers and adopting the name “Superwoman” periodically appear later. One such story appears in Action Comics #156 (May 1951), in which Lois accidentally gains superpowers, thanks to an invention of Superman’s arch-foe, Lex Luthor. In the story, Lois employs a short blond wig in her crime-fighting identity, giving Superwoman an almost identical look to the later Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl.

She’s the wholesome side to DC comics, she’s the anti-Catwoman and she’s always striving to prove herself in a super hero universe dominated by dudes. Its Batgirl. It has come to my attention that the origins and back story of Batgirl are actually quite unknown so for those of you who would like a bit of an education, hang on cause here we go. 

Batgirl was originally conceived because Kane and the publishers at DC were concerned about the rumors of Batman and Robin being gay. Batman was given a counterpart in the character of Bat-Woman back in 1956, Robin’s counterpart was introduce a few years later as Bat-Girl, the kid sister of Bat-Woman. The Batgirl suit has been worn by 4 major characters in the DC universe: Babara Gordon, Helena Bertinelli, Betty Kane and Cassandra Cain.The most popular Batgirl stories involve Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Gordon’s daughter.
