It has gotten A LOT of attention. It has gotten a lot of imitators, but this group was the original Avenger Bunnies. <br /><br />Many people thought we were 'objectifying women' by wearing such costumes, or even 'bastardizing' the characters.

            <description><![CDATA[ One of 8 poems submitted for my Advanced Poetry Final.<br /><br />My inspiration for this is the fact that most people look at me in the real world and have no idea of my interests.<br /><br />Then inevitably, someone will get into a discussion about comics, sci-fi, etc and realize that I&#039;m not just the JCrew/Banana Republic yuppie I seem to be. It&#039;s like...I wear a costume everyday, but the costumes I wear at Cons are really me.<br /><br />Which is fun. Because there are some boyz that really shouldn&#039;t talk about comics or toys. Like the guy in my poetry class that tried to tell me that Transformers came out in the 90s and were put out by Bandai. Um. No. Go back about ten years kid. But, wait...oh yeah...YOU WEREN&#039;T EVEN BORN!!<br /><br />Note: I had to explain all the halo references INCLUDING what PWN-AGE was. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/ohmygod.gif" width="26" height="18" alt=":ohmygod:" title="OMG!" /> ]]></description>            </item>
