There's no way to bullshit my way around the double standard when it comes to judging this contest. To win me over as a Geek you need to be original, funny, display some solid craftsmanship, and show a little confidence in yourself. To make the cut as a Hottie you just simply have to be hot. This is the third Hotties vs. Geeks I've done. The first two years were dominated by the Hotties. Let's see how it all plays out.

10. Batman Beyond vs. Knife in the Head Chick

VS.

I don't know why but I love the fact that Bats has his luggage with him. And the fact that he's owning the spotlight is making me love this guy. Stabby Suzie looks way too happy for the part and we could have used some more cleavage. GEEKS 1 - HOTTIES 0

9. Mr. & Mrs. Captain America vs. The Hat Girls

VS.

The Captain couple are rockin' their shit pretty hard. That dude was massive too, and I ain't just talking about his package. Those girls are wearing some sort of squirrel hats with pockets over a couple prom dresses. Lame. GEEKS 2 - HOTTIES 0

8. Masters of the Universe vs. Frumpy Bat Villains

VS.

I loved me some Master of the Universe when I was a kid. Getting to see a voluptuous Skeletor and Beast Man wandering around the Con floor was a major treat. These chicks were just standing in the hallway waiting to have their pictures taken the whole time I was there. I think they were scared of the going ons inside.  GEEKS 3 - HOTTIES 0

7. Captain Whatever vs. Booby Ivy

VS.

I'm sure somebody will tell me who that dude is supposed to be but, to be honest, I don't care. She might not be the hottest woman on the floor but she fills that costume  out nice and just got the Hotties on the board. GEEKS 3 - HOTTIES 1

6. Luke vs. Side-boob Leia

VS.

He might not be trying to be Luke but for the sake of some good old sibling rivalry, he is. Leia costumes are a dime a dozen on the Con floor but few can deliver the side boob like this one. Look out, here they come. GEEKS 3 - HOTTIES 2

5. Whiplash vs. Scarlet Witch 

vs.

This just might be our best battle yet. Be sure to notice that Whip's whips actually light up. This is a major factor in him beating a very hot Witch. Geeks 4 - Hotties 2

4. Fandago Bag vs. Wonder Woman's Friend's Giant Rack.

vs.

I'm usually lost with these promotional costumes. This is no different. He's a lunch bag, right? Good for him, look at the size of those wonder twins!. Geeks 4 - Hotties 3

3. Fry & Bender vs. Green Hornet Girls

vs.

Another close call but I'm going to have to go with the Futurama boys. The Green Hornet hotness never even saw the Con floor and made it that much more impossible to get in my hotel because of all the people gathered around them. Selfish, I know. Geeks 5 - Hotties 3

2. Fat Guy vs. Booba Fett

vs.

I'll give the guy credit for walking around like that but Booba sets a new standard for Star Wars hot. You can only stare at so many Slave Leia costumes before you get bored. Geek 5 - Hotties 4

1. Voltron vs. Vampirella

vs.

It's an epic battle to end with. That Voltron costume was fucking awesome but there's no way I can overlook the shaved commitment of Vamp. I'm torn between two fantastic costumes, which means we have our very first tie in the history of Hotties vs. Geeks! Geeks 5.5 - Hotties 4.5

Holy shit! Geeks win! Geeks win! To be honest, I had a feeling this would be the year of the nerds. Walking the floor, it was obvious there was a definite downfall in the Hotties aspect of the Con. Congratulations Geeks, you've taken your convention back.

Pretty decent line up this year. But damn who is wonder woman up top!? As for Vampirella, I think she has a snuke on her. Lucky to have made it out of there with your life.

The "fat guy" is Zangief. Also the Green Hornet girls were called the Green Hornettes (and as much as I like Bender, they clearly should have won). That Voltron costume is impressive, but Booba Fett is the greatest costume ever.

agreed....
that voltron suit is off the hook, the fett chick has a slamin body but i bet she's either butt ugly os incredibly sweaty under that helm, or both. if the wonder-woman at the top was in the runnin the babes would have taken it home.

Wrong...All Wrong...
I'd have to say Jim that you're wrong on #3. The Hornet Chicks...beat the hell out of Bender and anyone else. My calculations the opposite score...Geeks 4.5 and Hotties 5.5. Hell, I may have to go Geeks 4.5 and Hotties 7.5 (one point for each hot Hornet chick).

Whiplash...
Idk I agree with most of the decisions but I'm not sure about whiplash, I'd say he loses that one, the guy kind of looks like David Arquette too, or is that just me?

Fry looks like a flamboyant homosexual and bender is wayyy overweight. I got nothin against gays or heavy people but those are the wrong two guys to be wearing those costumes.

I have to agree with the final score. The geeks were cooler than the babes this year.

The Best: Voltron costume - that must take a lot of effort to put them all together. The hottest: Scarlet Witch.

I'm sorry, but some of those "hotties" were just plain nasty. Scantily clad is one thing...but they should at least be good looking.

great ten spot
only i'd have the hotties edge this one out, because i'd have given Scarlet Witch the win.
