Halloween is right around the corner, and as we all know, it's the one time of the year you can be whatever you want, as long as it falls under the heading, "Sexy [Blank]."
It's also the one time of the year everyone can bring out their inner dork, without feeling the shame associated with cosplaying at Anime Conventions. So herewith, we present the top ten "Sexy Geek" costumes:
10. Sexy Pac Man
This gets the ten-spot because, really, there's zero things sexy about Pac-Man, as this "Miss Video Game" costume shows. By the way, I'd also like to say for the record, I originally used this picture for a post about Pac Man couches, and then a week later, everyone on the 'net started posting about the costume without giving credit. Damn you, internet! I'm an awesome trendsetter!

9. Sexy Trekker
There's nothing less sexy than Star Trek (except, I guess, Pac-Man). There's also nothing particularly sexy about the button, which implies that tonight, you want to lose your virginity. Though, I guess Halloween is supposed to be scary, right?
Also, yes, Trekkies call themselves Trekkers now. And no, I'm not going to tell you how I know that.

8. Sexy Sally From Nightmare Before Christmas
This is an actual, real, honestly good geeky costume. Shame on you, Party America. Don't you know if you're goiing to do a Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween costume, she should be wearing a bikini and thigh-highs?

7. Sexy Indiana Jones
Let's ignore the piss poor Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (though not its more alcoholic after effects). This costume is worth it to wear so you can hook up with a dude, and at just the right moment, look him in the eye, and say, "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes."

6. Sexy Freddy Kreuger
Nothing sexier than a girl with gigantic, razor sharp claws, am I right boys? Get out of my dreams, and into my... No seriously, just get out of my dreams.

5. Sexy Ghostbuster
A few weeks ago, Bill Murray talked about how it would be a big step forward for the Ghostbusters franshise if the next movie had a female Ghostbuster. I'm also sure this is the costume he had in mind. Possible Hook Up Line: "Wanna cross streams?" Actually, that's gross, never mind.

4. Sexy Death Eater (From Harry Potter)
Ah! Not sexy! NOT SEXY!
[$35, Halloween Adventure]
3. Sexy Trixie (From Speed Racer)
I think I spent the entire time watching Speed Racer (which, by the way, wasn't nearly as bad as you've heard it is) wanting to make out with Christina Ricci as Trixie. So, yes, I do think this is sexy, thank you. On the other hand, the costume of another Christina Ricci character just makes me uncomfortable.

2. Sexy Supergirl
Actually, this is Supergirl's costume. They didn't have to tart it up at all, which is making me very confused, as it's impossible to be snarky about an accurate reproduction of a sexy, geeky Halloween costumethat succeeds on all levels. I'm sure there's a large hole cut in the butt, or something.

1. Sexy Slave Leia
Come on, what else did you think would be number one? We've certainly talked about our aggravation with this being the pinnacle of geek sexiness before, but, well... It's the pinnacle of geek sexiness. So, that's going on.
