Well, I'm not following Ross's Legion, so I'll take your word for it.
Anyway, I'm not sure what that proves. The ridiculousness (or lack thereof) of Shady's, WW's, Red Sonja's or anyone else's attire doesn't make Grell's Cos and Colossal Boy any more or less ridiculous. Those costumes stand or fall (more the latter, I maintain) on their own merits.
Try drinking another pot of coffee. If it doesn't make you feel better, at least you'll be too hyper to care.

Actually I'm not following Ross, either. More's the pity. I was going by a link somebody posted here not too long ago. Eh, the only thing I was really trying to prove, if you could call it that, is that ridiculousness seems more noticeable to a lot of fanboys when it's... y'know, boys that are running around with vast amounts of epidermis showing. Granted, my survey is completely non-scientific. As to the coffee issue, I'm way ahead of you.

I'd say fanboys notice the ridiculousness of girls runnng around in skimpy costumes, too. It's just that we're too polite to mention it.

He who, i'd say it was more of "Hey, if a fangirl wants to go around in very skimpy clothing...thanks, God!" Quite a few women's costumes are ridicules, along with quite a few of the mens. For one thing, how the hell would anyone fight in a costume that is so tight you can't hardly shrug, much less shift your shoulders to set your balance. Then, there are the color schemes. Lets face it, some costumes will look stupid no matter who or what is wearing them. Plus, if you look at it, apparantly, all costumed crimefighting males are eunach's. Ouch.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

On the topic of male costumes, I always liked Karate Kid's Cockrum-designed outfit except for one thing: that impractical, high collar. Why would a martial artist wear something that would obstruct his view? (I notice that the collar has been significantly smaller in recent versions.)
For a non-Legion related collar issue, see Yellowjacket.

Oh, rickshaw. Just think of it as educational material. Yeah, that's the ticket.

We're all out of Drano. You'll have to accept this bottle of 151 rum instead.

I had to laugh, though, at those posters who kept commenting on how large the bulges were. Large? Seriously? They obviously don't know some of the same guys I know. Of course, if they're making personal comparisions, they probably would seem large. Heaven forbid they're ever exposed to Patrick Fillion's work.

Everyone should have to take one class in drawing the human figure and one class in drawing the clothed human figure. Seriously. It could only help. Maybe a mandatory skim of John Berger's Ways of Seeing as well.

Still, compared to most superhero bulges that we see, they were really big.

Personally my favorite poster over there was the guy who'd apparently never heard of "minimizers" for women or sports bras.

Now I'm wondering where to find the alluded-to gals in guys costumes thread, because I suspect that girls in variations on Angel, Nightcrawler or Nightwings costumes would look kinda hot. Obviously, women in the Things, Hulks or Beasts traditional garb would be as unlikely to grace a comics page as a man dressed like Emma Frost...

Set: Now I'm wondering where to find the alluded-to gals in guys costumes thread... Well, there have been, comparatively speaking, a number of females who have assumed garb/identity formerly associated with males. I'm sure such threads exist, but they're not quite as unheard-of in terms of subject. Re: Nightcrawler. There's some alt-Earth where he and The Scarlet Witch had a kid, so that's pretty close. ...Obviously, women in the Things, Hulks or Beasts traditional garb would be as unlikely to grace a comics page as a man dressed like Emma Frost... I assume that Strata is about as close as you'll get vis-a-vis that kind of minimalist garb. Though I'm not familiar with L.E.G.I.O.N., I always chuckle when people say, "Hey, how can you tell she's female ?" Uh, I dunno'. Read the story ? [rolleyes] Even in the real-world animal kingdom, you can't always readily discern males and females. Alison Bechdel of Fun Home fame has also pointed out in an interview that IRL, "You [often] can't tell the gender of someone [human] who's half a block away." (Sigh.)

Well, color me redux 'cause i have never heard of "minimizers" either.
I have heard of "tuck and tape", but not minimizers. Same thing?

More or less. Think of it as sports bra w/more wire and infrastructure. A woman who's built like Dolly Parton and wants at least a chance that the interviewer at the investment office will concentrate on her face would probably call it "essential."

It IS traditional though, even the 'toon Legion took on a Luthor. Now that I've thought of it, it surprises me that Mark Waid didn't resurrect old Baldie like DnA did with Ras al Gul. He's a big fan y'know.

I think that was the beginning of Brainy's "boy crush" on Superboy.

Ah, but Cleome, everyone knows that the best support structure for women is the torpedo bra's from the fifties. Attractive, supportive, and capable of putting a man's eyes out.
