So it's almost time to start looking for this year's Halloween costume, and I'm in need of some advice. I was Uhura one year, I got the standard polyester red dress, nothing special, and a beehive wig. It honestly wasn't that fun. This year I want to be something different, a costume that maybe I have to make myself or put more work into (its about the process!!) I was thinking of being Jadzia, the Trill makeup would be fun but it's a boring Star Fleet costume, and then I thought Troi, but I can't find a decent trio costume anywhere! I need to think more out of the box. I'm pretty crafty, so don't hold back. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas or suggestions...Or if anyone wants to post some fun Star Trek costumes they've worn in years past!! Any inspiration will help!
Outside of the box, you say? How about one of my favorite Star Trek women? Spoiler: A Lot of Effort, Though...
A lot of work indeed! I don’t know how the super white paint would look on me though, since I’m so tan? I’m more of the complexion of the Klingons I was trying to think of a cool Vulcan costume, t’pol maybe. I don’t know what I would wear though.
Yes!!! She is one I would definitely be interested in. I wonder if I would be able to find a female Klingon wig, something I could just blend in the hairline with some makeup. The costume wouldn’t be too difficult to recreate. I’m fairly good on the sewing machine. I LOVE that idea. She was so killer and the eye makeup was on point. Do you think anyone would know she is though? Holy cow. I can’t believe that she’s that tan!!! I would never have guessed that hahah Challenge accepted. She’s doable. I can’t find a decent costume. She really only wore the gray SF costume. Otherwise I would totally be Jadzia, the trill makeup looks like fun and wouldn’t require too much effort for a decent result. I’m gonna try a bunch of these beforehand so I know which ones I can actually recreate
I've never worn a Star Trek costume. We've been to tons of conventions, bought all kinds of crap, got autographs and pictures...but the costume is one line I've never crossed. It gives me a false sense that I'm not as big of a nerd as I really am.
I like this idea: And would put it together with what Nimoy wore in 'This Side of Paradise' (and again in 'Spock's Brain') : Halloween 2018
We all know your true level of nerdiness, no worries 100 P.S. my phone just tried to correct “nerdiness” to “nerd Jesus” Coincidence? Dear God
What sort of things would nerd Jesus be into ? The works of Homer? Does he cosplay as Odysseus? Does he get into canon debates with fans of The Aeneid?
Haha that’s what I figured. I would do it for a convention or something but my too-cool-for-school friends would be asking me all night “who are you supposed to be again???”
I know what you mean! I only suggested her, really, because she was "far out" and "trippy" looking, without going through all that trouble. Good Luck!
