Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
By Cory Doctorow at 5:47 pm Tuesday, Apr 3 • 12 Comments • Share On IO9, Ron Miller has published a selection from his collection of photos of 1970s cosplayers, dating from a costuming epoch where nudity was a lot more common than it is today. Among the clothed pictures (not reproduced here) is one shot of Elfquest co-creator Wendy Pini as one of her own elves. One thing I noticed in going through the slides — mostly taken at Worldcon masquerades and a few other cons — is the great sense of whimsy that permeated SF costuming decades ago. This is something that seems to be missing, now that costuming is taken so much more seriously. I recognize a lot pros in some of those old pictures, too — such as Elfquest creator Wendy Pini as one of her own characters.

Whenever he was asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he didn't say "football player, movie star, cowboy or astronaut", he stated that he wanted to build a superhero suit that could make a person faster and stronger and help them fly. Recently though, he has a bit of a crisis of faith.Pitchfork Media
On the Philly rapper's first mixtape to reflect his heightened profile-- a collection featuring guest spots from Drake, Wale, Big Sean, Fabolous, and Kendrick Lamar, among others-- he doesn't so much step out of his own world as merge it with the one he's about to enter.
