After seeing the above picture passed around the nets today, I have to take a stand.

Look. I know why the Slave Leia costume is uber-hot to nerds everywhere. However, enough already. Dressing up as Slave Leia is the equivalent of being a sexy kitty-cat on Halloween.

If you're gonna dress as Slave Leia, I guess you can get one of the above costumes. They're made to order, and range from $325-$375, plus shipping. And, you'll make that money back in Geek Gropes, right?
