Yup. Immortalized as Princess Leia in her slave girl outfit. Let it never be said that I don't honor a bet.
It was the only costume we could find and it was ill fitting at best. All the naughty bits were covered, so that's a plus for all involved. Just in case, though, I had my Flash briefs on underneath for that underoos look in case of wardrobe malfunction. It had a distinct rubber Halloween costume smell and all the pieces curled in all the wrong directions; not at all what it looked like on the package. There were a couple of rubber hair pieces that came with the costume but I did not have enough hair to support them. Kristi tried putting one on me but it just stabbed me in the scalp. We stuffed the bikini top with socks because the ornamental rubber pieces actually fit better with a little chest volume. Test fitting the costume the night before is when Kristi and I figured out we'd need to stuff the top. She picked up a couple socks from the floor and stuffed one side and we put half a giant plaster Easter egg in the other. I was like, "Wait a minute… Did you just stuff my bra with your son's dirty socks?!" Yes. Yes, she did. We used clean socks the day of the reveal. Kristi was resplendent in her Han Solo costume and we even got to do a little smooch. What's a Princess Leia slave girl punishment without a gender bender endearing moment, right?! To anyone thinking of ordering one of these from Amazon, beware, we are returning this one on Monday. It humors me to no end thinking some poor woman somewhere is going to order this costume, perhaps for a party, perhaps for a romantic special themed evening, and none involved will realize it was first worn by a 40-something, hairy dude, holding in his belly. 😉
To all the visitors in the hangout, I apologize for your future therapy bills, nightmares, and momentary to permanent blindness. Damian, I'm glad you pulled over the car and didn't try to witness this while driving. To all of the judges who voted for R2D2 over C3PO in the contest, may the fleas of a thousand Banthas nestle snugly in your bed clothes. 😉
It was great to meet everyone! Apologies I did not stay front and center longer. It's so much easier to be behind the keyboard than in front of the camera!
Lastly, I promised everyone who showed up in the hangout an autographed picture of our shenanigans (was thinking the C3PO and R2D2 but can include Princess Leia for a more lasting horrific memory). Just PM me your mailing address, and so shall it be done.
Thanks again… The G+ community is awesome and makes our silliness feel almost normal sometimes.

"My Eyes, They Burn!"
Long story short: I organized a Star Wars costume contest between +Scott Cramer and +Keith Cramer which +Scott Cramer lost and faced punishment for in a hangout where he was dressed as Slave Leia.The hangout took place yesterday (goo.gl/g3fvd) and lasted for more than 6 entertaining hours with 150 people being part of it. The highlight (and purpose) of the hangout was seeing +Scott Cramer dressed in a Slave Leia costume which you yourself can experience in the video below. +Keith Cramer will perhaps later on supply some better quality photos/video of +Scott Cramer's Slave Leia.

+Damian Sanchez +Kristi Fahlsing I meant to tag you in the post, but just wrote your first names! So, tag!
+Halfdan Reschat Thanks for the video. (I think!) I have not seen Keith's footage so this was the first view I got to have of this. It is so much different looking from the outside than viewing it from on the inside!
+Keith Cramer Your day is coming. Some how. Some way. Some punishment.
+Scott Cramer, you're welcome! I very much enjoyed the hangout and you actually looked less horrifying than I had expected so you won't receive a therapy bill from me.
+Halfdan Reschat Yes, I am a sexy beast. LMAO
My God, I thought I had seen many things in my life … too much fun. +Scott Cramer you are very sexy in that skimpy outfit! ahahahahah. Greetings for +Kristi Fahlsing and +Keith Cramer and +Halfdan Reschat
+Scott Cramer. You sir are awesome. Sorry I missed the hangout.
I've been forever immortalized in +Halfdan Reschat 's post with my quote "My eyes, they burn!" I must admit, this was the funnest of the two hangouts I've ever been a part of in G+!
(Note to self: next time wear headphones.)
Looking forward to many more good times with y'all!
Thanks +Nunzia Nullo +Mike Kelly and +Damian Sanchez 🙂
Damian, I know you didn't dress in costume, but I'll gladly send an autographed pic AND some eye drops just for you. lol
+Scott Cramer so long as the pic is not of you in that costume then ok, otherwise please don't…oh god, please don't. Lol
+Damian Sanchez, I was kind of hoping the photo would be +Scott Cramer in the Slave Leia costume since that would make a excellent conversation starter to have it hanging on my wall.
How do I even begin to explain to my family that I have in my possession a signed photo of a man dressed in a slave Leia costume? First thing out of their mouth would be "what websites are you visiting and do we need to worry about the FBI knocking at our door one day?"
LMMFAO!
Choice of pics. 🙂 PM address.
+Scott Cramer as always…a good time was had. Could you possibly be on the winning team next time…cuz I would really rather be the girlfriend of the one who is part of giving the punishment…not part of helping make sure an outfit fits…or condiments are scraped off your legs before helping you walk to the shower because your eyes are burning. just saying! 🙂
Hello +Nunzia Nullo! How are you today?
Trying!
LMFAO at +Kristi Fahlsing!
🙂 +Tiffany Henry
This is fantastic! +Becky Gimbert and I are watching it as we cook..
As you cook?!?! Are you mad, man!?!?
Tony RAVING Stark +Scott Cramer .. 🙂
I'm thinking that you lost on purpose, Scott 🙂
+Roger Murley Yes, I'm lulling Keith into a false sense of security. Quite well, I might add.
Whatever, you're awesome +Scott Cramer
Keith is up to no good. http://goo.gl/3V93p
+Damian Sanchez , when question about the photo, just claim that it was an alcohol-induced moment of bromance and to get off your back! 😀
So sad I'm missing out on an autographed photo too! Dratness!
Lol. Autographed photo to any peep who wants. Droids or Princess. It's like a lottery ticket for if I become famous. Ha!
Princess please! With Han Solo! Will she sign too?
I think +Kristi Fahlsing can be persuaded. 😉
+Mz Maau 😉
