    I just see #8s as being pot head Preditors. And #10 has a real preditor in it down near the bottom. These are all pretty good. Better then I could do.

    what is it with cosplayers and sticking giant mammary glands on things that are obviously not mammals?

    @Smeagol92055: i think you're missing the point. all the females cosplaying predators could just as easily take the mask off and deem it a cosplay of kerrigan. that's what i'd call a win/win.

    @tetracycloide: Keep in mind that we have a very limited knowledge of predator biology. It's not as if anyone ever sat down with a predator and a questionnaire. For all we know, they might nurse their young. I would even be willing to bet that a sufficiently dedicated google search would allow one to find a great deal of theoretical case-studies and anatomical diagrams trying to make a case for predator mammaries, but I will leave that as an exercise for the reader.

    From the photographic evidence we are presented with, we would have more luck determining which outfits are meant as ceremonial garb, and which are designed for functional use. My theory would be that while the outfit in image 21 is quite likely practical attire, the outfits in 6a and 16 are almost certainly not intended for any sort of active use, simply due to the noticable lack of support.

    @Hamslicer: It all depends on when their teeth grow in. For all we know, they may not grow their adult teeth until after they stop nursing. We just have little information on their childhood development, and likely never will until someone greenlights "Predator vs. Kindergarten Cop".

    @Hamslicer: Predator babies learn from a young age that life is nothing without the hunt! They are required to wrestle their mothers' writhing breasts straight out of the womb in a fight for dominance that ends in one of two ways: a well-fed child, or the mother reabsorbing the babe as nutrients to ensure her own survival and the strength of the species!

    ...least that's how it should be.

    I'm so psyched you picked my Starbuck! It was extra fun because I got to get wasted and punch people and nobody objected because that's what Starbuck would really do. The host demanded our costumes be "brutal" and I figured "harbinger of death" fit the bill pretty well.

    Well done, everybody - I've had so much fun looking through the galleries. Can't wait for next year! #halloween

    bonus points for remembering to add Katee Sackhoff's "Bona Fiscalia" tattoo on your right arm, but deducted points for appearing as season 3 Starbuck (evidenced by the left arm wedding tattoo) as Starbuck from season 3 onwards was boring at best and just plain poorly written at worst. Even the writers openly admitted they didn't know what they were doing with her....then duped Sackhoff into believing that it was because even Starbuck was supposed to be "confused" at that point in the story, when the reality was they just didn't plan things out from one episode to the next by season 3. #halloween

    @CodenameV: Aw, but it had to be accurate and I have long hair, so it had to be post-New Caprica. Plus, the tattoo makes the outfit more recognizable. And Starbuck still had some kick-ass moments in Season 3, even if the arc wasn't great.

    Can I at least have some more bonus points for the fact that I drew on all of the tattoos myself? Meaning I had to do the Bona Fiscalia with my left hand (I'm a righty) and did the wing in a mirror with a Sharpie? I would have done the stepped pyramid on the back, too, but I'm just not that bendy. #halloween

    @vulcanized: (scoffing)

    if you were truly dedicated:

    1 - you would have cut your hair

    2 - you would have also added Sackhoff's third tattoo, the japanese kanji for "luck", at the back of the base of her neck...not to mention, put a bandage over your left shoulderblade so we can't see the cross symbol there (Christianity doesn't exist in the BSGverse) #halloween

    @CodenameV: Ah, but if you were truly dedicated, you would know that by Season 3, they stopped covering Katee's cross tattoo with a bandage and drew a solid black stepped pyramid over it instead.

    Which I didn't put on...so... Yeah, my arms only reach so far, as does my dedication. #halloween
