Geek Item Of The Week



 

The greatest pin-up poster of all time

 

Pin-up posters have been around for a very very long time.  Over the course of the last century or so people have been pinning up posters of beautiful women to their walls all across the world.  Some incredibly famous names are included amongst the numbers of the most popular pin-up girls of all time.  Names like Josephine Baker, Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page.  But to geeks everywhere, there is only one woman who we will hold deep down in our hearts as the greatest pin-up girl of all time......Princess Leia in her slave outfit.

 

The image of Princess Leia, royal senator from Alderaan, in nothing more than a skimpy metal bikini (complete with collar and chain) has been giving geeks everywhere something to fantasize about for the last 28 years.  The outfit itself has become so popular that entire websites are devoted to teaching others how to make it for themselves.  At every comic or sci-fi convention there are women who show up in this costume.  The image of the Princess Slave has forever been burned into our hearts and into our dreams.

 

And for only $8.99 you too can own a copy of this, the greatest pin-up poster the world will ever know.
