Who had the sexiest Nintendo cosplay at PAX East?

Sexy Nintendo is inevitable. Some will try to fight it, or even mock it. In doing so, they are choosing to live on the wrong side of history. I know how they feel. I scoffed along with the rest of them back when the burgeoning “Sexy Luigi Brother” lingerie genre first hit the scene, but that was years ago. Since that time, Sexy Luigi has gone from being a exotic fetish to a cultural institution. It’s gotten to the point where oftentimes, being Sexy Luigi isn’t enough anymore. At PAX East 2015, Sexy Luigi had to become Sexy Zombie Hunting Luigi in order to make a difference. That’s how bad the Sexy Luigi over saturation situation has become. 

Thankfully, Sexy Layton hasn’t had to bend to our culture’s current zombie fixation in order to stay fresh. Despite becoming the stuff of animated gifs and Kotaku news posts, he’s still the same humbly thrusting, puzzle-loving professor he was the last time that we saw him. Only one thing about Layton has changed. He and Sexy Luke are no longer a pair. Now they’re part of a threesome of uninhibited, logic-and-lust fueled erotic icons, thanks to their new sexy bowtie wearing pal  Emmy. Many have said that monogamy is the greatest emotional puzzle that any consenting adult will ever face. Leave it to Layton and company to solve that problem with style. 

You can vote for Layton, Emmy, Luke, Ness, Misty, Red Pikmin, Zelda, Mario, Isabelle, Fusion Suit Samus, Zero Suit Samus, The Pikachu Pimp, and multiple other participating Nintendo cosplayers here in the comments. The winner gets a surprise!

E&A reply: Columnists respond to reader’s concerns

This is a letter written by the “Not Your Girls” columnists in response to a Letter to the Editor written by a concerned reader questioning the choice of the women to pose in lingerie.

Hello Carrie!

Thank you for the positive reinforcement on our article Not Your Girls. While reading your comments and concerns I couldn’t help but to agree.

As we went through the process of coming up with a photo idea and choosing just one, we were both struggling with what to do. We were both aware that peers, professors, family, and members of the surrounding community would view this image.

We both took into account the positive and negative comments we would receive with such a controversial topic. And this is exactly why we chose the photo with us both in our undergarments. We feel as though this society puts too much pressure on women to “cover up” but we view women and men both on the beach or at a pool with a revealing or modest bathing suit. We posed the question “What is the difference between us being in our bathing suits or us being in our bra and underwear?”

Our answer was simply nothing.

Whether we were in a bra and underwear or our two piece bathing suits, we would be showing the same amount of skin. We chose the undergarment photo to represent the fact that no matter what we wear, no matter how much we show OR how little we show, the human body, specifically the woman’s body, will be mocked, judged, devalued, sexualized, or praised.

We believe that the messages we have and are continuing to convey in our article will show our intelligence.

As women, we deserve to be taken seriously by what we bring to the table, not by what we wear. We should be treated like ladies, because we are ladies.

We should be respected because we are human beings. We, as intelligent, strong-willed young women, hope that this article is a stepping stone to realizing that barriers, such as how we dress or look, need to be taken down before they take us down.  If someone is focussed on how amazing we look in our skivvies and take what we have to say for granted, then they have missed the message in the article.

We are not defined by our outfits.

We are not defined by our weight.

We are not defined by the societal views that have brought so many women down.

We are defined by our own definitions of who we are.

I hope you continue to read our articles and enjoy the boundaries that we break!

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Not Your Girls
