Star Trek: Cosplay Are GO!

Jan 21, 2008 19:29



Just to be paranoid, I called Star Trek: The Tour to make sure it was okay to come in uniform. Of course, Trekkies were among the first cosplayers, so it's pretty much assumed that fans will show up in costume. (As the woman on the phone told me, people have been showing up in costume since the moment they opened.) I just wanted to make sure they didn't decide to act like Disneyland and prohibit fan costumes.

Anyway, she said that costumes are just fine.
So if you've been thinking of making a Starfleet uniform, now is the time! I plan to visit the Tour in uniform.

And remember, if you're not a fan of the Starfleet look, there has been a broad range of costumes worn on the 725 episodes of the six series. They've met characters who dressed in a variety of period clothes, including caveman, 1920 gangsters, 1940s soldiers and civilians, 1960s of course, and more contemporary clothes. Odds are you could throw together something that fits Trek, if you tried.


planning, star trek
