With me being a straight, American geek, Leia's slave bikini has been one of the lasting images ingrained in my mind, even before I liked girls.  Jamin, the wonderful man from Tattooine that makes the suits the ladies sport, has had a side project running.  Operation Life Size Jabba, albeit not a very good covert ops title, will bring a 1:1 scale Jabba the Hutt to DragonCon 06.  Although no details have been released as to whether you or I can get
our pictures taken next to his slimy-repulsiveness, the lovely ladies in the metal bikins will be in full force, ready to smile and pose for photographic opportunities.
