Shoes aside this Sonja costume from Mortal Kombat kicks ass. I'm attributing a lot of its ass kicking ability to those short hot pants. Shawing!
This is the perfect costume for a Cosplay convention as no one will know you're the tool inside the costume and you can perv on the scantly clad female attendees in their Lara Croft outfits.
If your Indiana Jones costume sucks ass then go as a C64 Pitt Fall Costume. Sure to impress all of the nerds over 30 with your clever design. Hey throw in a red scarf for good measure. The games character was so small no one will dispute it.
Point for effort on this Half Life costume. If the crotch didn't look like a nappy you could almost walk around without feeling like a complete twat. Then again no one gives you shit when you carry around a crowbar.
