Cory posted in October about the R2-D2 swimsuit, but now Black Milk Clothing has added C-3P0 to the line as well! "Artoo Loves Threepio" (Thanks, Dean!)

I’d do R2D2 ONLY if she WHISTLED properly!

Why do the pretty ladies need to wear boots to go swimming?

The stuff they’ve got is really hot. Especially these of course, as they combine attractive women and star wars, two things hard-wired into every geek’s brain.

However, I’m not so sure I’m interested in seeing actual star wars geeks wearing these… ;)

  Obviously, you aren’t hanging with the right Star Wars geeks, penguinchris.

If I saw this image at the same time I saw Star Wars, I would have never left the theater and my head would have exploded.

  While no speedo, there is a chewbakka winter jacket made by adidas.

  Brilliant. For someone other than me.

    Actually, Google did cough up a funfur Speedo. You’d think that Regretsy would be littered with them.

The name of this website finally makes sense to me. One boing for each of them.

Although, if the jawas come to me, I think I might go with this R2 unit:

Those gals seem so indifferent about their swimsuits. If they were the actual sort of women to whom such garments would appeal, they’d be all smiles. Instead they look depressed.

Gads but I hate the fashion industry and marketing.

  Actually, these models look downright giddy compared to most fashion models. I’ve never understood why fashion models always seem to wear an expression of lifeless depression mixed with cold-hearted contempt for the world on their faces. The expressions on the faces of the two models shown above look sweet when compared to the expressions on the faces of the models shown in this previous Boing Boing post.

    The same reason why models have boy-like figures instead of curves. The clothes designer wants men to think “look at those beautiful clothes” instead of “look at that woman in those clothes” before segueing into a sexual fantasy where the clothes are totally forgotten.

  Surely it can’t be that long.

I never thought I’d say this but I want to do R2-D2 whilst C3PO watches.
