Slave Girl invades Sci-Fi Convention!!!

Well, that might have been the title of the article in the papers had they acutally done something on the convention. I recently went to a big Star Trek convention. They had all kinds of people there. Brent Spiner, Grace Lee Whitney, June Lockheart, Gary Lockwood, Kenny Baker.....it was truly neat. Anyway, I went with a friend, Aron, who was the only big Trekkie that I knew would be in town. So we went in costume. Aron decided to go with an easy outfit as a Starfleet officer. I decided to be bold.

I went as an Orion Slave Girl.

You know, from the Original series epsiode pilot "The Cage"? yes, I painted myself green all over. Yes I wore a skimpy gold outfit. No i did not have balck hair. But I doubt that anyone there noticed. *laughs*

I spent most of the day having my picture taken with people. I got hit on by a lot of Klingons (which was neat) and I met a lot of really cool people. All in all, it was a good day.

The first pic was the last one taken. It's one of my faves...and now, his hand is not where it looks...I swear he was just reachign for the camera...unfortunately it doesnt' relaly look like that, does it?

The second pic was taken a little bit before I left. It's on the front steps of the convention building and the creature in between the klingon and I is a Targ that they had killed during their performance.

The third pic was taken before Aron and I left my house. I hadn't painted my hands yet because i wanted to eat. So I painted my hands in the car.

Yes, I look ridiculous....so sue me.
