LOL There have been a lot of good (and hilarious) suggestions. Thanks so much!
Ms. Marvel? List some stuff you like.
I like DnD-druids and rangers especially... and elves.
I like comic book chicks-they're hot. Why wouldn't I like them? (truth be told I've never actually faithfully read a comic book series, I pay more attention to the art)
I like video games-no, I haven't played FF. I don't plan on it either. My life is too busy for that! But I loved Zelda-any and all of them. And I've always wanted to cosplay as Sheik but I have no idea how to go about doing that. And there's no way I'm cosplaying as Cami. I've thought about that too. I'm too shy to show my butt.
This is so hard. There's not really a whole lot that I don't like.
I think what it's going to come down to is 1) costs 2) how quickly the costume can be made/thrown together for the con 3) how much work my friend is willing to put into the costume.
I know that the fur bikini thing will be the cheapest and easiest to make. But I'm also longing to make an actual, recognizeable costume! So far I'm loving the Black Canary. It's a pretty simple design (I think). I just would have to figure out the boots...
Oh, and Ms Marvel is hot. I don't think I have enough time to get that costume made and assembled, but damn, she's hot.
I'm going to have to make my decision in a few days so that he and I can get started on it. I'm excited and writhing from the fact that I have to make this "big" decision.
