And, of course, the paganity of this friend is important. As we all know, those monotheists can't do make-up worth shit, right? *LOL*
And, yes, "inebriated" is the correct spelling.

I do believe I shall set up a thread after H'a'l'l'o'w'e'e'n entitled "what room in intensive care are you in after you got the shit kicked out of you for dressing in a star trek uniform on halloween."
Star Trek uniforms. *Snort*. According to my calculations...

If I had the cash for the sequins & any worthwhile drive to really do anything, I'd probably dress up as Chairman Kaga....

Is there some special law that dictates that while Trek uniforms should look cool on screen, they should look awful when worn by actual people.
They're either 5 sizes too small (which in some cases can't be helped I suppose. Unless you want to use every sheep in New Zealand to make a single batch), and in other cases their are ridiculously baggy.
Now, from this, I can make three possible conclusions.
1. Star Trek fans are fat. From spending all day on the internet, and never going out and talking to the walking people.
2. Star Trek fans are too thin. From never doing any excersise. And from having various breathing related problems. And theyt are possibly lepers too.
3. The companies are making the unifroms quickly, cheeply, and without any effort, to cash-in on the cash-sucking cash-cow that is cash-Trek.
Or possible all 3. I am going to run away now.

The real reason is that the actors have custom professionally tailored costumes and they use top quality cloth. Fans buy cheap knock-offs that are "one-size fit's all," use standard/cheap fabric, and some are fat/skinny. If you get a professional to make a real uniform, then it will look good. But I bet it will cost about $400.

And I think I read somewhere the TNG unforms cost abou two or three grand and were made of gabardine wool, while store-bought uniforms are made of polyester-cotton. Thats quite a difference.

Which is what my mom did when I was eight. Worked pretty well, too. She even modified it from the original unis to include a collar, and put in quite a few "grow tucks". I could still wear it three years later. Still have the costume, but it hasn't fit for about nine inches now...

I guess I'll just dress up as as Sigmund Freud for Halloween, that way I can talk about sex.
