Summary: Having witnessed a bloody massacre by mobster Nero on St. Valentine’s Day, musicians Jim Kirk and Hikaru Sulu are forced to flee for their lives. With Nero’s men in pursuit, they disguise themselves as women and join an all female band at the beginning of a three week residency on Risa. It’s a great idea…until Jim falls in love with lead singer, Leonard McCoy, who is all man, and totally gay with a fatal attraction for sax players. Like Jim, except…he thinks Jim’s a girl. Based on the movie ‘Some Like it Hot!’ Check out the art and soundtrack too!
warnings: crack and a little angst, boys dressed as girls , uncomfortable shoes, massive amounts of alcohol consumed, cussing, Jim being a bit of a douche, and bad Russian accents.
disclaimer: none of the characters are mine but belong to Paramount and Gene Roddenberry, and all music is credited!
Intriguing snippet: “It is an inefficient use of your time, attempting to engage the doctor in any romantic relationship,” Spock says sagely, “his sexual proclivities are directed exclusively towards members of his own sex.”
