These images of Princess Leia Organa Solo of Alderaan, better known simply as Princess Leia, show the type of extreme tribute fans pay fictional characters today. I guess these images are just blatant eye candy for Star Wars fans.
Hey, I am a girl, so this is OK for me to do, right?
What better way to kick-start a giant cluster on Star Wars than with this project which features 10 images of women dressed like Princess Leia? She is considered by many to be the ultimate Sci Fi pin up. It does, however bring up the whole issue of the metal bikini as well as the mentioned of a film called ‘Star Whores’ which is, and I quote my brother, “remarkable”. Thanks for that Mike!
Princess Leia fantasies are so part of popular culture, they even featured in an episode of Friends, when Rachel dressed up for Ross.
Embed is disable on this Friends video clip, but you can watch it here.
