Eye candy: Mary Jane as Spidey

For some reason - well, apart from the obvious - I've been looking for images of Mary Jane dressed in Spider-Man's costume recently. This is the image that started my search:

That one's by Steve Rude, I believe, and here's another more recent one he did - both, I'd guess, were convention sketches:
No idea who the artist is on this one, but it's fun anyway:
Looking for these, I think, was probably inspired by this classic cover - Amazing Spider-Man annual 19:
Yep, I certainly remember buying that book in great excitement... and getting very disappointed that there's no scene like it inside. (Some mad scientist thinks Mary Jane is Spider-Man. It's all very silly. Although there was some interesting discussion of 'exoskeletons' to allow a female to fake a male form, which is on file somewhere in the back of my mind for a potential future Betty plot.)

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Seen anything similar? Cross-gender comic imagery is always fun.

Chameleon as Jean DeWolff..

.. in Amazing Spider-Man 620, which I think was on sale last week, or this week, not sure. Here's the relevant bit:
I'm pretty sure this was just a one-off gag for this issue - it may have been someone that Mysterio was going to 'resurrect' to torment Spidey with - but still, fun.
