The Female Super Mario

Cosplay, the act of dressing up as one’s favorite anime/game/movie character, is unquestionably a gift and a curse.

When a fairly rotund person attempts to pull off a sleek, tight-fitting Princess Zelda outfit, it’s not pretty. In fact, it’s downright horrifying, and the image will likely be etched into your brain for all eternity.

However, when someone of a more appropriate stature attempts it, the results are often scintillating… and fap-worthy [think about it].

While the Internet is a veritable ocean of cosplay pictures, I decided to focus on ones from Nintendo franchises.

Why? One word: Sheik.
