'Super Mario' Manicure Sure to Attract Multiplayer Partners

by Warren Riddle on September 14, 2009 at 04:49 PM

When it comes to selecting a mate, animals typically pick the partner with the brightest, loudest, and most outlandish natural ornaments. The process definitely applies to humans, as well, and one sexy gamer (who goes by the PhotoBucket handle 'nailchick27') has created a decorative symbol of gaming prowess just for Nintendo nerds, Neatorama reports.

Although it may impede actual gaming sessions, the 'Super Mario Bros.' manicure, which festoons fingernails with depictions of scenes from the video game franchise, should certainly prove irresistible to Mario junkies. If the fancy nails alone don't adequately attract dorks of the opposite gender, there's a closet full of other Nintendo fashion accessories certain to arouse the interest of a potential multiplayer partner. But, take notice. Before you begin drooling over the Nintendo couture, be aware that there's a picture of a fat, pale guy in his Mario unmentionables. Although, who knows. That may actually be highly stimulatory for members of the species Dorkus Marius. [From: PhotoBucket user nailchick27, via Neatorama]
