You have to be very careful with anime or western animation pics. Most of the examples, to someone who doesn't know better, look like those could be their default dress.
Konata is the best, because part of her costume seems to be wearing off, but I'm still not sure it's the best we can come up with.
We really need a stark contrast. Show what people normally wear, and then show the Cosplay Otaku Girl looking noticeably different.

In case anyone's wondering, I asked Foxy Mod for the unlock so I could ask a question about the current image. Does it really need the intro images before the one with all the references? Right now, the pic far outweighs the text that goes with it...it's not a huge issue, but I'm wondering if we've got too much of a good thing.

The image on Cosplay Otaku Girl is kind of small, and not terribly evocative, either.
How about this cutscene image
from Blaz Blue, resized as needed? (Warning: Danbooru link. Worksafe pic, but may contain questionable advertisements.)
