I will work on it and make a decision on last night's later
Also I typed up a commentary but I think I forgot to send it...and I didn't save it, either. Anyway, basically, I got the shoulder-plate look from the Fire Nation uniforms in Avatar and the flower design trims are supposed to be reminiscent of old Iranian prints, which always have these repeating flower borders.
Ok so now time to blunder around for this new challenge :| I have never been to a convention so I don't know what works...

Thank you
!Oboro 'cause hers seemed most appropriate to me, and !James for his outfit is more suited for a man and not a Natalie Portman who's looking to impress the senate.

Men don't wear dresses (well, most of them)! And hey if she doesn't look more or less manly, the senate will think she is just a dumb girl!

The only reason you guys are voting for me is because I SHOULD win and I WILL win.
You're all running scared. It's like when all the rats team together to vote off the BEST contestant early.
If the public were voting, I'd be the American Idol.
Here's my entry for today:
Spoiler:
As geeks are known to fear one thing and one thing only, it is best that Enforcers dress like this one thing, and since no Enforcer would ever be able to qualify, it's easiest to give them all full body suits.
Enforcers will dress in full body HOT SEXY BABE SUITS, with stretchable black spandex to allow for "larger" enforcers.
Dressing as a HOT SEXY BABE will command attention from the lowliest geek to the most butch gal.
Alternate HOT SEXY DUDE models (not pictured) may also be issued for crowd control.
I forgot that when I would be reorganizing my photobucket account that I would be breaking my old links so here is the new address for the night one design:
Zot, your votes technically don't count right now, because you took Quid's place and Quid already voted. If you really want, I guess, you can retract Quid's votes and put in your own. (This is probably why replacements don't get finalized until after close of day... oh well, at least I'm a little less nooby at running games now.)
Now that I have your hearts racing, let me tell you a bit about the next challenge. For decades, the term “Bond Girl” has been one of the icons of style and sultriness. Who can forget Ursula Andress, the original Bond Girl, when she came out of the azure waves:
And don’t forget these two girls who…um… I don’t know because I never saw Casino Royale:
Your challenge today is to design an outfit for the next Bond Girl. When you’re coming up with your designs, keep in mind that the Bond universe has always been about opulence, mystery, excitement, exoticism, and, of course, sex. Your Bond Girl outfit should incorporate as many of these elements as possible. Practicality is not much of an issue here, because these should be flights of fancy, not real-world clothing. However, if you can incorporate special microfiche and grappling hook compartments to make your outfit especially conducive to espionage, I’m sure it would not go unappreciated.
Ready? Go forth and make it work!

I decided to give Mr. Enforcer a little bit of a SWAT team vibe, because obviously a strong hand is going to be needed if Thanatos is around and someone mentions the ending of a 5-year-old West Wing episode or something. The vest is modeled on one of those puffy-ish hunting ones, and those and the pants are designed to have lots of pockets to stash swag. A comfy red t-shirt and baggy pants tucked into hiking boots, so he's good to be on his feet all day. I added a key ring and a holder for a cell phone or walkie-talkie (whichever they use). Overall I think the red and black will stand out nicely in a crowd, which is also useful.
Also the "model" here is based somewhat on Mr. DiscGrace. ^_^ Mainly the hairy arms.

You want our enforcers to command respect? You want our enforcers to command fear? You want our enforcers to stay safe and lay down a withering barrage of high caliber bullets? Then my design is obviously the only choice.
Just nazi enough to strike complete and utter fear into the hearts of those who view it, just alien enough to deter anyone trying to get buddy-buddy with a security guard, just armored enough to stop any small arms fire and just armed enough to turn any offending convention goer into swiss cheese. This outfit has it all. Ammo and supply storage, converted MG42s, night vision, scary red glowing eyes, gas masks and filtration systems in case of a chemical attack.
If the whole world collapsed into anarchy during PAX, these enforcers would still keep it the safest place in the whole world.

I'm going for the power of uniform simplicity with these guys. I realize that as a PAX enforcer there are plenty of important duties to be performed and outlandish costumes will only hinder the staff. So without further adieu I decided to take lead from a tried and true security force. The U.S. Government. Nothing as tacky as the military but instead I want the PAX Enforcers to look like CIA Spooks, perfectly groomed and omnipresent. Plus, they're probably talking about you in that tiny little ear piece.
This little wonder
perched atop of this sleek and fashionable statement by Express
exemplifies what a perfect dedicated and fashionable security staff would wear.

Let's face it: nerds are getting rowdier every year, and today's PAX Enforcers are ill-equipt for the job. By combining military technology with Batman, I've come up with a functional and practical design, giving the next generation of Enforcers protection from furries, interwebs, and whatever the hell else goes on at PAX.

If you can't tell the symbol on his shoulder is the lambda symbol from Half Life...and the straps on his boots hold up little sheaths where knives are supposed to go (to terrify the nerds). He also has a crowbar and I guess is based off the common Resistance soldiers in Half Life 2. The scene on the right in the first picture is our brave Enforcer wading through the hordes of sweaty rioters and laying down the law.

Being a veteran enforcer myself since PAX 2004, the uniform hasn't changed much. Black cotton longsleeved shirt that says PAX## in the front, and ENFORCER on the back.
It's this way for a reason. It works because these shirts are not sold, they're earned and unique to enforcers. The white on black design is easy on the eyes yet contrasting enough to be seen at a distance, essential to carry out helpful enforcer duties. The enforcers are not about expression. It's about solidarity, a unified helping front ready to assist and serve.
Therefore, my proposed redesign is thus:
The year in front is changed to '08. In the back, the enforcer logo is still there, but there is Khoo. What better rallying icon is there at a Penny-Arcade event than the face of Khoo himself? I can think of none other more iconic, and he's perfect for this shirt because his visage emits a radiance of authority and sincerity (credit SE++ for the Khoo).
Utilikilts were also very popular amongst the Enforcer crowd to both women and men alike. Why not make it a part of the costume, to unite the uniforms of all enforcers? Airy, fresh, and very comfy, this utilikilt is built to accommodate any build while providing plenty of space to move around in. Très chic.

There are no people more feared and reviled than the members of Raider nation. So what better way to dress up security for PAX? No better way.
You'll notice the customized shoulder pads adorned with spikes worn over a Raider jersey, silver and black face paint, really ugly pants, and really big combat boots fitted with Dr. Scholl's inserts for extra comfort.

Fear, comfort, and the power of presence to control the "unruly masses" of PAX (mixed with not just a dash of fucking awesomeness). Here it is! The Fantasy/Sci-Fi element to the costume doubly serves to contorl and awe. Can't be to rowdy when an awesome looking guard's pointing a laser gun and sword at you. Comprised of mostly free moving, insulated and snug fitting fabric for comfort, and an even freer lower half, for the ease of running. Lower half length augmentable.
How would they look in crowds? Check out these examples!
And here's one last artsy look at various models of the outfit.

Scourge of the gamer's world, those that desecrate a place that ought to be tended like a temple, or a holy shrine. They are the dispensers of the items PAX goers crave most, and yet they abuse their clientele with ignorance and severe mental anguish.
They are the Johns and Franks, they are the demon spawn who work at EB games. Who better to guard PAX than these vile creatures... or at least paid security guards dressed in their garb?
Their uniforms consist of starched, short-sleeved dress shirts. Their ties, argyle, with coffee stains and yellow crusty goop that resembles melted cheese or perhaps something you don't want to know about? Let's say it's mustard. Cargo pants and white tennis shoes nearly complete the look, but we can't forget what gives an EB salesman away: the name tag, EB's title right above it. "Hi, My Name is _____ "
The horror!
