It’s Friday, which means it’s time to let our hair down at Movies.com headquarters and break out all the weird, freaky stuff we’ve been hiding from our parents so they don’t think we’ve gone completely mad. Just don’t tell anyone you got this from us …

Naked Boba Fett alert. Well, kind of naked. This paint job comes courtesy of airbrush wizard Paul Roustan who has worked with the likes of Playboy and Absolut, transforming curves into fleshy cosplay costumes.

The artist is Nashville’s Kelly Kerrigan, whose works — including these paintings — can be viewed on display at the Twist Art Gallery through November 26th. We’re not sure… More
Looking to add a little nerd to that next wedding you’re being forced to attend? Want to surprise your own bride by rockin’ a little Wars as you walk down the aisle? Or maybe you just want to add a little extra spunk to that old suit hanging in your closet.
