Yeah I'm not feeling this, skimpy is fine if done well but the chest/bikini bottom did not match the rest of the outfit.

I thought the woman dressed as Valerian Mengsk was pretty good looking.
just one word, niceeeeee.
So I've gone through this thread and so far haven't seen one person say her name, so I actually made an account just to satisfy your needs. The name is Mao Xiaoduo Sina, a Chinese PAID model, who cosplays whatever other artist build for her. Blizzard probably knew about this considering that they told a fake name and I think that's also one of the reasons she didn't get anywhere near the finalists. Also I think the judges are really fair with their picks. They picked the person who made her costume without any info on what it could look like and really put some effort into making something that doesn't yet exist. Also I've never seen them pick a finalist just because they wear close to nothing and attract with sex appeal...
Even editing the post to add a link doesn't allow it since I haven't got enough posts, however I can probably do this:

Sorry to say this but... The "Lich Queen" already did a Sylvanas Windrunner, I'll add the "link" (cant post them yet so you'll have to work around it) for her picture. But it's photoshoped like the ones for Lich Queen

I'd raid her.
The thread is too long to read. So I'll just say this:
She was planning to cosplay Kerrigan, but the flight company did not allow her to bring that suit (wing-like thingy), so she had to turn to plan B, the LK.
Eschewing amor for mobility has been very common throughout history. When this argument comes up, I like to point to the historical inaccuracy of Keira Knightley's armour in King Arthur - she's wearing far more than would be realistic.
As for being cold in Northrend, she's undead; it really doesn't matter.
Has feminism arrived in this thread yet?
I swear that there was some fan-art done of a genderbent Lich King in this exact costume, complete with the little skull panties, and that this is actually a cosplay of that fanart, but I can't for the life of me remember where it was, and I'm not about to go on a terrifying google adventure to find it.

...Women do cosplay all the time. Most are only remarking on the fact that it's basically a bikini with skulls and a pretty nice helm. But still, I swear this design actually originated from a fanart. If I'm right, that actually makes me like it a lot more.
As it is, it just seems excessive to basically just be wearing the Lich Bikini.
Damn she's HOT!
People need to grow up. Someone's cute and sexy, great. Why not show everyone her cosplay just cos she's nice. Nobody complained about the chubby ones showing their skin. Or that Diablo Barbarian in a loincloth? Is this some perverted kind of reverse sexism? I see a future where nobody beautiful lets anyone make pictures of him/her, because they might get labelled as sluts/whores just because of the way they look. Nevermind the actual craftwork they put into their costumes or the art behind that.
This thread, coupled with the recent 'LGBT laws in Russia' makes me very sad. Most of the western culture seems to believe 'being immoral and intentionally bringing your human nature closer to animal instincts' means 'freedom'.
Mr. finskee is the master of logical fallacies here - you do nothing but call out everyone who makes a point on their 'slut-shaming'. Guess what: if a woman does everything with a hidden agenda of getting attention, it doesn't mean your americandreamish-shit like 'she's doing what she wants because she's free!'. It means only one thing: she's attention-whoring. If the only thing you can do to attract attention is to appeal to men's animal instincts, then, duh, you're just whoring/slutting yourself out. Stop using fallacies and sophistication to prove otherwise. It doesn't even matter what we're talking about - it's not just about cosplay and this particular woman. There's plenty of movies, books, pieces of art, cartoons, anime etc that are filled with so-called 'fanservice', which is, in essence, just an whoring-out attempt to play on primitive stuff.
As someone in this thread stated, look at that Wrynn girl cosplayer. She's not half-naked, even her body doesn't look ideal. Yet she is beautiful, sexy, attractive and her cosplay (not just the costume, but the whole feel brought up by the combination of it with the person who wears it) is very spectacular. Yet you probably think she 'isn't free', bah.
Why is is excessive?
Nothing wrong with either. The problem is why the contention that there should be a preference for the latter over the former because the former is somehow morally wrong and offers some kind of negative reflection on the woman wearing it.
