Last time the ladies of L.A. burlesque group Devil's Playground did a Star Wars-themed strip show, they did a sexy Stormtrooper (yay!) and a sexy Jabba the Hutt (wha?). I certainly appreciate a sense of humor, but given the strong feelings we have about certain characters, it can be... jarring to have them suddenly turn "Sexy." Long story short, Devil's Playground did another SW strip show this weekend, and, well...
This freaks me right the fuck out. Also this:
It's worth pointing out that there's another underdressed young woman inside the R2-D2, of course. LA Weekly reports on the show here, and has a gallery of the above and more reasonably sexy Star Wars characters such as Slave Leia and a sequined Boba Fett, right here. I'm going to hang back, because these pictures are forcing me to ask some serious questions of myself.

For some reason, the lighting and coloring of the C-3PO makes it look like the dancer has a lot of body hair.
MKUltra replied to MattK:
This! I thought it was a dude at first. The illusion of chest hair makes her chest look manly. The entire costume is just incredibly disconcerting.

I kind of understand the Chewie one (fur is fur) but C3PO's face is going to give me nightmares.

All I can think of is Zak and Miri Make a Porno.

See? THIS is what happens when you cosplay. It evolves, just like everything else, and becomes something awful.

Need I remind you how vampires evolved into glittery Tolkien elves with the end result being fan-made furry wombs and disturbing fanfic?

I think we've reached Slave Leia saturation. It's gotten boring.
On the more original side the black pasties, patent leather skirt and hairstyle on Darth Vader and ruffled green skirt on Boba Fett are very cute.

I'm waiting for a sexy Salacious B. Crumb, Ponda Baba, or IG-88.

Well, at least Chewie's hair looked good. Must've spent hours at the salon.

I scare myself when I wonder if Han can arrange for me to kiss that wookie.

At that last word, a horrifying possiblity occured to me; sexy Jar-Jar Binks.

the mask makes the c3po look like a creepy reject from a horror film version of planet of the apes. the Chewbacca looks good . though the mask looks too hairy. at least so far the lovely ladies have not gotten around to yoda or worse Jar jar yet.

I peed my pants in fear.

I've never been more confused about my sexuality.

The shimmys on C-3PO's hot pants are not in character.

Question: Where can I get that sweet death star umbrella?
RebekahDay said:
Alright, so I went to the site and Rob spared us the horrors that is R2-D2.

...she'll probably give me nightmares.
Arno replied to RebekahDay:
Maybe I'm just odd, but I actually think the R2 girl is pretty hot... albeit in a please-don't-eat-my-soul kinda way.
However, the thing that bothered me most of all is that the Darth Vader girl has Darth Maul's lightsaber. I need to get out more.
clark said:
I've never been to a burlesque show or a strip club, so I'm wondering...is it pretty typical that the girls not be somewhat unattractive?
Looking through the pictures I did like the death star girl, but all the others looked pretty questionable to me.
Frank replied to clark:
The girls are into the retro trendiness of the Art of Burlesque. They aren't strippers, per se, more like performance artists.
Frank said:
Can we please have an end to Burlesque, and act like this Nerd Burlesque trend never happened?
