Baby dressed as Gimli

Back in 2007 Sean Donohue dressed up little PJ as Gimli, Son of Gloin, and immortalized him in pixels: "PJ was Gimli the dwarf from Lord of The Rings for Halloween. Michaela's mom made the costume, Michaela fashioned the helmet, hair, beard and battle ax. It was my idea. Yes, I'm sick."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Wait til Gimli is 14 and his parents show this to his first girlfriend.

  Why do you offhandedly conclude that it’s a baby boy dwarf?
  Female dwarfs also sport beards! (sigh) Human chauvinists…
