I chose a black cocktail dress with tons of textures that imitate his scale-y exterior. I also chose dark grey accessories that compliment the dress\u2019s texture.

Also, although she doesn&#8217;t accept submissions of the Polyvore-esque collections that she posts, she does welcome photos of people in their own game-inspired outfits.<\/p>\n<p>Since the emphasis is on fashion rather than cosplay, this is a splendid, subtle way to incorporate an appreciation for gaming into one&#8217;s everyday wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p><i>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/\">BoingBoing<\/a>)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amanda McGinnis, known online as LadySnip3r, loves video games and fashion.
