But at the time of me posting her picture, I didn't really know her name but she looked somewhat familiar to me.
Then after a couple of weeks I got an email from somebody thanking me for posting her cosplay pic on my blog, and guess who it was:
Tanya Tate herself.
So I immediately Googled her and lo and behold, I suddenly realized why she looked familiar: she is that same Tanya Tate - the popular British adult film performer (pornstar). And because I'm a dude, I have seen my fair share of porn videos and Tanya's films are just a couple of those I have enjoyed.
Did I replied back to her email? Oh hell yes. Tanya's very nice to talk to (at least based from our email exchange) and I'm pretty sure she's just like that up close and personal.
Anyway, she has been unleashing her inner geek and is making rounds in Comic-Cons lately. She has also opened her SFW (safe for work) cosplay site
justalottatanya.com where fans could see her in spandex, giving her own spin on characters such as
Emma Frost,
Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) and many more.
And from her most recent email, she said that she is actually thinking of shooting some of her adult films in superhero costume but is quite hesitant because she doesn't know what the reaction will be.
Let shed some insight on that. You know what I think of Emma Frost or Sue Storm or any of our favorite comic book babes in a porn film? AWESOME. So I will tell Tanya to just go ahead and do it for all of the geeks & and most importantly - for mankind.
Check some of her bad-ass (and ridiculously sexy) cosplay images and also know how to get a lunch date with Tanya herself by helping her create a personalized costume - all after the jump.
