FFFFFFFFFFFFFF YOU KNOW

I WAS KINDA....CHARACTERS? REALLY? BUT NONE OF US LOOK *ANYTHING LIKE* ANY OF THEM

AND THEN

CHEKOV

IS ACTUALLY KIND OF TEMPTING

[ryokophoenix]

PS. Also the official uniforms are made of that shitty light-weight basketball shirt fabric. That's all shiny and strange? My vote's for getting it printed - I'm sure a basic screenprint would do the job. I'll see if I can have a look around for quotes.

Also Als said something about aluminium etching for the badges. She's on board too, but I'm pretty sure she wants misc. characters rather than canon (for the reasons stated above, i.e., it's really hard to crossplay when your character isn't effeminate and animated).

[alita_b_angel]

WHAAATTTTT. HOW IS CHEKOV NOT EFFEMINATE AND ANIMATED? THAT'S LIKE, CHEKOV TO A T. I AM OFFENDED ON ON HIS BEHALF. YOU WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT CHEKOV. GO OUT AND GET YOURSELF SOME BOY CURLS NOW.

And whatchu you talking about, you have the perfect face for Chekov! Also stature.

And Anna would be awesome as Bones, since I plan to force her to draw on some stubble.

I'm actually... Okay with that fabric, it's the fabric they actually wear. Printing it might end up expensive cos you can only cut ONE WAY to sew that up. What would you be thinking about printing it on?

I'm actually totally happy to buy a pin. I mean, is buying an official star trek gold pin that bad? Considering it will be much cheaper than going to get it cut ourselves. But I'll go with what ever's cheaper.

[ryokophoenix]

CHEKOV, CHEKOV I WILL GIVE YOU. BUT THERE IS A LOOOOOOOOOOOOT OF TESTOSTERONE ON THAT SHIP. :S Chekov would be EPIC FUN though as I RUN FLAILING THROUGH THE CON SHOUTING "I CAN DO ZAT!" AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS

OKAY where are you looking for the official costumes? 'Cause the only ones I've found are seriously made of the stuff they wear playing basketball in the US, which is like 100000000x not the fabric in the movie. WHERE BE YOUR SOURCE? I'd want to go with the same fabric we used for the Avatar costumes - it's sturdy, with a very slight stretch and costs like $2/metre. I think it's a form of suiting, if I remember correctly, but I'd have to check.

...BUT THEIR PINS ARE SILVER D: D: Apparently it can be v. v. cheap (they do it at the uni or something?) but I'll ask Als.

[arlo_arleh]

I like how all these comments are left by just you and mel. Also if I'm doing kirk, I totally want. to be. able. to. speak like. this.

all. the time.

:DDDDDDDD

[alita_b_angel]

We are DISCUSSSSSSING.

SHOULD WE GET PINS? Remember this sunday is fabric day. PREPARE THYSELF.

[athira]

Uuurrgghh~ I have so many stuff I want to do. Can I get back to you on this one? I'll check out the site when I have time... How much are the uniforms anyway?

And how the hell am I supposed to straightened my hair and get them all up? LOL.

...Tempting. Tempting. :\

[alita_b_angel]

Lol, I like that with each edited comment you're getting MORE TEMPTED!!! Which is good news!!!1

Uniforms are cheap they're only $54 for the dress. Or whatever the printed fabric would be. And then black boots. HOW EASY IS THAT?

Then it's like $10 for a star trek badge.

It's called a GHD and Arleh has one, and then you will be the most beautiful xenolinguist ever. And then we can add a pony tail extension if need be :DDDDDD

DOOO EEEETTTT JOINNNNN. Chill out Sunday is ALL ABOUT THE LOLTASTIC COSPLAY.

[athira]

Oh hush :D I'm still thinking about it. Even though it IS tempting.

Hmm...ok. The uniform isn't that expensive either, which is good :D Unless if you can straightened my hair, then by all means. XD

Btw, I know who can do Nero, if you need anyone. A perfect one!

[alita_b_angel]

Gimme Nero!

We're gonna lock off stuff by January Febuary so everyone has a chance to get the uniforms on time and get it sent etc etc.

JOINNNNNNNN IT'S GONNA BE HEAAAPS FUN

[taraerin]

I realise you posted this like, 3 weeks ago, but I haven't been on LJ in a while.

If you are still looking for people, I would totally be up for Scotty. Or anybody else who you need, really.

I'd kill to be T-Pain, but people seem to frown upon black-face these days. ): ): ):

Also, given the relative simplicity of the costumes and group-buyingness you wouldn't have to worry about me not getting it done in time.

THANK ABOUT IT

[alita_b_angel]

OMG YES.

JOIN US AS SCOTTY. BUT HOW IS YOUR SCOTTISH ACCENT?

It seems that it should be a fairly easy cosplay, mostly just you joining in to make our captain's chair and console. I SHALLE UPDATE AND HAVE YOU IN. YEAAAAAAH

Goddamn I want a T-Payne, but yeah, blackface is a nono. SO SAD.
