Culture Buzz Slave Leia is forever ruined thanks to Buzzfeed's very own Gavon! Wherever he went, Man Leia was a fan favorite. Hats off to him for having enough balls to wear a metal bikini.
Celebrity Buzz From a never-aired pilot for Kanye West's puppet variety show, “Alligator Boots.” Buried lede: Kanye West had a puppet variety show called “Alligator Boots.” And it looks godawful. There was an ursine puppet named Beary White who talked like Barry White and some Martin Luther King comedy skits for good measure. Thankfully Comedy Central came to their senses and threw it in a deep, dark vault. The video surfaced on, then was promptly removed from, Youtube. Count yourself lucky.
Itâs nice to see that people are still finding ways to put a spin on the classics. This Hello Kitty/Slave Leia mashup from Comic-Con is made of win. (via)

Inspired by a discussion by Deadspin's Drew Magary about cosplay, as it pertains to the San Diego Comic-Con. Click through for more context, but this picture ought to help some of you on a budget. (Oh, and see also.) (via deadspin.com)
Now with more Slave Leia! Wonder if she saved that outfit for sexy times with Han or if the memories were too traumatic?

No need for a list here. Or ever again, frankly.
From a “Sexy Robot” costume contest at Gizmodo. I think this girl wins Halloween. Give her the trophy immediately. You know, before she kills us all.
POV inside the greatest car wash of all time. Last Saturday G4 sponsored a charity event where Slave Leia's would wash your car to raise money for the Make-a-wish Foundation. Nerd. Boy. Heaven.

We all know what happens when a bunch of slave Princess Leias get in a room together, but no one has ever documented it … until now.
