Video Game Girls Burlesque @ Bordello

Every gamer's wet dream came true at Bordello on May 9 as Devil's Playground presented Video Game Girls burlesque. The dancers arrived armed and outfitted for an arcade battle, and included Super Mario Bros. Princess Peach, Metroid's Samus Aran, Street Fighter's Chun-Li, The Legend of Zelda's Link and Princess Zelda, and BloodRayne's Rayne. See how they ranked by costume, skills used and execution.

Gia Rose as Chun-Li
Game Series
Street Fighter
Costume
Straight up Street Fighter II style with a short, blue cheongsam, spiked wrist cuffs, white boots and hair worn in two buns tied with white fabric.
Skills used
Kicks and lots of them.
Execution
When Chun-Li crouches in the middle of the stage, watch out. She will jump up, lean back and unleash a flurry of kicks, spin and kick some more and turn her hair sashes into lethal weapons. If M. Bison were on stage, he would be a dead man.
