One of my favourite eBay sellers is Princess Peach, a Nintendo nut and purveyor of fine things such as teeny Master Systems and Link pins. She's also auctioning off pictures of herself in full Peach cosplay, and is offering up poses on demand:
You may want me to mimic a classic Peach action or hold up a sigh with your name on saying how much YOU rock! Or perhaps you require a picture for your website or blog? I have Nintendo-themed props such as huge chain chomps, bullet bills and bob-ombs! The possibilities are endless! You may even want to fool people into thinking I’m your girlfriend!
Wild.
I'd hit it.

Thanks for your input 537. I'm sure getting unsolicited expressions of interest from the great unwashed was the point of the entire exercise.

you can hardly blame him. she's expressing the same behaviour as your average porno webcam girl. or so i hear. because i wouldn't know. really.

Do you think? I do think it's a pity that dressing-up - something that's so loved as a child - can't continue into adulthood without some sort of sexual overtone attached.
It's a bit odd really, when you think about it, isn't it? The sexual overtone bit, I mean, not the dressing-up bit.

Not sure it's the dressing up that has a sexual overtone.
It's the "For a set charge of £9.75 I will perform a pose of your choice" and the "You may even want to fool people into thinking I’m your girlfriend!" that worry me.
In other words, it's the sexual overtones that seem to attach the sexual overtones.

I wouldn't hit it, anyways. I was just joking around. Apparently, people are still taking the internet far too seriously. Anyways, I pretty much agree with everything bigwig said. Go bigwig!

Well stuff like "i'd hit it" is pretty standard talk boys have to say about pictures of cute girls on the internet in the comment section. It's nothing serious, and it's meant as a "My god thats a good looking chick!" or something. But you know, we are trying to be cool, so we say "i'd hit it" or maybe even more extreme things like "i'd root her". And it's not meant as an offence either, because we're not used to girls hanging about on the interweb (with the exception of this particular webpage maybe?).

Well i was trying to explain the stereotypical guy!
I know for a fact girls do use internet, and not just for school/work assignments. I know atleast three!

No she's based on a real person. Myamoto got her to pose for him.
