Greetings and salutations Earthling!
Yes indeed sci-fi has undergone a massive makeover in the past few years and all for the better. There was a stage where I was truly worried about the fate of the science fiction genre. I’m an avid fan of all things “space” and will always be a sucker for a good sci-fi. Not so long ago the Star Trek franchise rebooted their movies with a freaking cool Star Trek block buster that actually surpassed my expectations by light years. While I do enjoy Star Trek I have always been more of a Star Wars fan. However after such a brilliant movie I may have to reconsider my stance…especially if you compare the latest Star Wars movies that came out….gross!
Here is a bit of Star Trek fun that I thought all you Trekkies out there would truly appreciate.
One of the most popular role playing “dress up” themes over the past 20 years has been the phenomenon of Star Trek. Indeed there are frequent parties overseas where likeminded Star Trek fans can come together, speak Klingon and be merry!
First off you need to look the part. If you show up in your traditional jeans and t-shirt the crowd may just break you down into sub-atomic particles and shoot you into the nearest sun.
One site that I trust for all my geekology is undoubtedly Think Geek which has a horde of subculture merchandise.
The first item on my list is the ladies Original Series Star Trek t-shirt dress. I know there are plenty of places to buy the male outfit, but this dress really is awesome. If you rock up at a party in this you will be sure to fit right in. Plus you can use this all year round at various costume parties, Halloween and of course…ummm, the “privacy of your own spaceship”.
